> Which leads me back to GP's point: there are only two choices. I take it that you're saying that the risk of the second choice should be ignored, but the consequences remain the same, and GP didn't speak about the thresholds or ways to improve the odds. He only mentioned that the risk exists and isn't worth it for him, and you disagree, but that's not much to go on.

What I'm trying to demonstrate is that the framing of the choices involved as just the two is misleading and not at very useful. Not sure what you're trying to imply by going through the pedantry of demonstrating that what I said is "actually covered by the second choice". If that makes you happy, let it be so, its a false dichotomy.

> Conversely, I'm not sure what to reply to this. It seems to me like you're implying that the people who are discussing this are "sexists looking for an excuse", but that sounds like an uncharitable interpretation, so I might as well ask if you could clarify what you meant by this.

I stated a possibility for why the people are behaving in the way it has been described. The reasoning given seems to be "some women founders may interpret it as sexism", which to me seems like an uncharitable interpretation.

I am trying to point out that this only makes sense to an audience of males. The reason could be equally viewed as "some men investors do not want to deal with women founders", which is another uncharitable interpretation.

> For what it's worth, TFA isn't saying that investors aren't bothering with female founders. They are, but are being careful with the feedback they give.

The article is very clearly stating that investors are withholding from giving the kind of advice that could decide between whether the company succeeds or fails. I would actually say that's worse than outright rejection to work with female founders, as investors play an important role in filtering out bad ideas and convincing founders of good ideas.
I disagree. Consider the housing bubble - it was tipped off by the response to the internet bubble, low rates from the fed so that people would borrow to get the economy moving again, e.g. by buying housing. Low rates result in more lending and buying, more lending and buying leads to price appreciation (pay attention, as this sequence is playing out again now), and eventually enough price appreciation and easy money leads to irresponsible lending and mania. The depreciation of the dollar through easy money lending has indirectly caused the bubble through the practices it encouraged.
This is fantastic, and I'd suggest making a gist or something to store this permanently. Good, useful write-up of the actual standards, and now whatever AT&T decides is “5G”.
I agree with this position although it’s pretty uncommon. It seems as though there is obsession with growth without ever considering what that growth is comprised of or whether it’s remotely sustainable.
It could be a typo. Thanks for pointing it out.
You're right regarding the court's decision, my apologies. Yet the NYT did choose to go to court instead of publishing a retraction of what they then knew to be false:

Sullivan sent such a [retraction] request. The Times did not publish a retraction in response to the demand.
Woah...was not familiar with this...
Your comment was about the defamation case. You said:

> the NYT argued in front of a judge that what is on its front page should be understood to be opinion and not fact, even when it appears in the form of facts

That's a comment about the defamation case. The NYT was arguing the bounds of its 1A rights before the judge. When the person responded talking about the NYT arguing it's 1A rights, that's what they were talking about.

Then you asked what your comment had anything do to with 1A rights, and I pointed out that a comment about the defamation case is inherently about 1A rights.

So...it doesn't really matter that your commend had nothing to do with Project Veritas because the rest of the comment chain in response also has nothing to do with it.

>“Are pseudonymously written works more bold/risk-taking etc?”

The answer to this question is yes.
Why am I treating someone "poorly" if I refuse to go out of my way to give them help when it's not a requirement of my job? For example, refusing to be an unofficial mentor for somebody. I'm a single parent to two little children, if my career burns it's far more than just me losing some income. I've had to work hard to position myself so I can balance work and family responsibilities.

I've returned every wallet I've ever found and I've never taken any money from them. Doing so poses no risk to myself. It's very easy to stand on your high horse and criticise others but after you've been in the situation of being accused of something it changes your opinion on certain things. I hope that you never have to deal with it.

A common idea is doing modulation. It's usually an easy way to increase the excitement of the song. Most people can naturally hear and feel it, but maybe not have the vocabulary to describe what's happening.
Do you think it's your place then, to tell people that they should just deal with it and continue making money for who they're working for when you can never really know what's it like to be subject to that on a day to day basis?

While all that is accurate, it should be noted that they have already mitigated some of the problems mentioned above (no more displaying number of keys left), but also that the entire system is being replaced this year with one that does not rely on a physical cardboard key card, but can use something like a Yubikey instead.

You can also change your username to something other than your CPR-number. Indeed, the problem lies more with other services that has used it as a password rather than 'username'. But those are rarer to come by these days.

I don't really object to the first 4 layers of the OSI model as applied to the current network stack - it's a pretty useful model of the separation-of-concerns between, say, Cat5, ethernet, IP, TCP.
it's definitely about balance, i don't think it should be as hard as it seems though. what does seem difficult [and is extremely sad in my view] is that Occam's razor type edge, acting like a filter between achieving that balance or not. you said this, i agree.

the sad part is something like this thread; where half [majority? like before Reddit hit critical mass] the people can/do understand what the difference is between, say, trolling and a dialectic or stoic whatchamacallit, and those that don't/can't.

as i think this thread seems to generally agree, those that can't then resort to this rhetoric you're talking about. you can see the same echoes in things like socialism and fascism. general bigotry. the backhand of misunderstanding.

where it really gets messy is when you have University graduates who can't understand these 'tropes'/dynamics/straight up logic getting opportunities ahead of an uneducated person that CAN understand those things, simply because they have that degree. it comes from the same place where racism and sexism are valid. where it's invalid you get this blame game. it's the hammer and the nail. those who can, do. those who can't, say... the Germans must have a word for this? man i wish i was more articulate cause i think we've all [as in hacker news minded type people?] got the words for this on the tips of our tongues. so much so that even out most basic know it's coming [the civil war chatter].
I like how the author just describes the situation in a very neutral and insightful way and leave the audience to make up their own opinion. Props to her.
By default, I'd expect data that likely came from third parties to be sanitized before output.
Spice is primarily an analogue simulator. It can handle audio amplifiers just as well as simulating digital logic circuits.

Digital, as the name implies, doesn't deal with the analogue at all, it's a graphical logic simulator. Step-based, fixed signal values like 1, 0, not connected, high-impedance. Think visual Verilog, except somewhat limited.

There is some support in Digital for defining component behaviour in Verilog or VHDL. Once defined, you will get a graphic symbol you can put in your diagram, and all the wires will behave as specified in the code. It's also possible to translate a schematic in the software to Verilog or VHDL code.

Because of that, I do think it would be a good stepping stone to learning more about logic and hardware description languages. I've recommended it before to people who want to learn the basics. But it's still new, has some limits, and I don't think it would scale well to a large project.

They address this in the blogpost.

They claim male investors give more candid feedback to female founders they are familiar with, because they are not worried about the female founder calling them sexist on Twitter.

This came from reverse engineering non-PC device (embedded board base on motorola 68332), but the video chip itself is generic enough to be used on more common PC machines.

Due to the sheer number of hypotheses get tested all the time in particle physics, 3 sigma effects appear all the time, and then disappear before getting a larger certainty. That's why it's considered a suggestion, not proof.

And yes, the exact numbers are arbitrary, but their ballpark isn't. You reduce the necessary certainty if you have confidence on your priors, and increase it if you test many different hypotheses. The target confidence also varies from one discipline to another based on how much data one can realistically gather, but nearly all of physics falls on the "we can gather enough data" category anyway.
> There is a nonzero risk in any social interaction that involves giving critical feedback. The way you manage that risk is by investing in healthy relationships, not by perceiving literally half of humanity as being too risky to be worthy of critical feedback.

Its things like this that make me think terminals are irredeemably broken. One does not simply print a string to a terminal. I'm not aware of a standard way to handle user strings safely like you can on say, the web, or any other UI platform.

Surprising Ways to Keep in Touch During a Pandemic
Tesla regularly compensates Elon with stock. In 2018, for example, Tesla gave him options valued at $2.282 billion — with a “b” [1].

That’s over four million percent more than the median employee’s total compensation. But he’d rather union bust than be a slightly less rich centibillionaire.

I mean, all of that is true.

For the US as a whole? No way! If it were true, the economic might of the South would have overwhelmed the North. The opposite was true. Slavery held the South back, economically. You've been fed some propaganda lies, there!

You can't even get slaves to reliably do high value-add work which requires attention to detail, even on pain of death. It turns out that to do this sustainably, you pay them bomuses. This was especially the case in the US South. Certainly the Germans found this out as well, in the 1940's. (Through failure, in that case.)

(Skeptical? Read yourself some books by distinguished African American economist Thomas Sowell, then get back to me. He used to be a Marxist, then became disillusioned and started debunking their lies and deceptions. Think about it, if slavery were some miraculous universal engine of productivity, wouldn't startups be doing it?)

Treating them as infallible gods who were uncompromisingly dedicated to the public good holds our country back from what it could be.

Sure. However, throwing out certain principles which make our society great will hold us back and throw us further backwards as well. Instead of being told the truth about how civics really works in the US, students are being propagandized against this.

Effects of cyber attack on Nine set to linger
There's a real epistemological problem that people of protected classes face that I hadn't considered before reading this article and the comments here; one unintended effect of the current zeitgeist is that, because overt sexism against women is so heavily policed, almost nobody is going to be explicitly sexist against women, so women can get stuck questioning the motives behind potentially any interaction.

For those perceived as belonging to a privileged class, people feel free to (and in some cases relish in and are socially rewarded for) voicing their sexist opinions. A man has a lot less reason to dwell on whether a particular interaction was sexist against them, because when it does happen it is often overt.

I'm hearing more and more very bad stuff from both sides of the aisle about the Federalist Society, in particular their judges. Especially when it comes to protecting big institutionally connected organizations.

The disagreement is on one side of the argument, so it's not surprising that the other side isn't brought up in your casual conversations. Taking that to mean that kids aren't taught anymore that the founding fathers had positive qualities is a misjudgement of the situation on your end.
As far as Star Trek plot holes go, I've always felt it's a wonder that, upon encountering any seemingly impossible situation, as they often did, Picard didn't ever shout, "Q! Show yourself! We will not play this game for one instant longer!"

And then Q, uninvolved but likely bored with whatever else he was doing, bullying some stardust or something, and omniscient enough to hear Picard shouting, would dutifully appear. He'd turn the whole impossible situation into an unfair but winnable game, gleefully taking credit for the whole thing, and having so much _fun_.

I bet Picard could've pulled that about a million times!
Interesting idea. You’d probably need to take a multi century view because it would eject a lot of dust into the atmosphere for a long time. You also run the risk of damaging the planet or it’s orbit. But assuming you achieve the goal, it’s one hell of a resource.

Learning new things. Not the same thing again in yet another new language, framework or library, but new ways of doing things. Sometimes it is through a new language, framework or library but it's the difference from what I've already learned that makes it exciting.

These days, this comes down to clearly understanding a problem, the aspects that need to be made clear and separating out the parts cleanly into a design. Getting good at naming things, having strategies, deeply knowing 'why' I do each thing I do. I spend a lot more time in some kind of notepad thinking than I do any sort of coding, even then it's pseudocode in a notation that I make up on the spot. This is exciting. Working remotely, it's amazing how much can be expressed in Github markdown tables and ascii block diagrams.

Ask HN: Sell domains are keep plugging away?
About 4.5 years ago, I started a project with the intention of making it easier to fight against gerrymandering. My hypothesis was that the more extreme the gerrymandering, the more fragile the district was. With the right technology tools, citizens could “vote with their feet” and use this fragility as a weapon. Both the Democrats and Republicans would be forced to draw more even boundaries. Representatives would be forced to represent their constituents, leading to increased bipartisanship and a stronger democracy.

The problem, of course, is that it has been 4.5 years. I had the beginnings of an MVP, which I showed to a number of people (who were indeed impressed), but ran into a problem. Time. To do it right, I need to spend a lot more time on the project and I just don’t have that. In my shoes, what would you do? It’s an important topic - should I try to find someone that I can sell the domains to and get them to take over? Or should I just keep plugging away at it?

My 2 cents is that ML oriented job titles are too fine grained with everyone in theory serving a mythic modeler who just needs to be fead data. Everyone finds the 1% of the time they spend building models the rewarding part - however many of the job titles like Data engineer, or ML engineer do not include modeling in the job description. There are companies which differentiate scientists into multiple categoies based on whether they do ML, can code, or just statistics.

Now the problem is that any of these folks can get into trouble for doing the others job, and the pay scales are often radically different. Relegating core responsibilities such as data cleaning/collection to support roles.

I'd bet that flattening the title structure in these groups would yield better results, and allow team members to more seamlessly move across Backend, Data, ML, and science oriented tasks.
I chuckled when I read this. It made me curious to try working in Germany.

In the US, there are some men who will say that to a woman who wouldn't say the same thing to a man giving the same performance. Most women have experienced this at least once (watch someone criticize u fairly). So, some women will assume criticism that is happening in a sexist way when it isnt.

I've observed both many times - sexist criticism by a man (which would infuriate me if I were the woman), and a woman assuming that criticism was sexist when it was fair.

We also have a generally less blunt culture in the US.
