> Advocating for traditional gender roles, saying women might not be suited for the workplace, advocating for strict hierarchies and so on is deeply conservative.

Those are strawman arguments. That's not what he advocates at all. He definitely does argue there are fundamental differences between men and women and what the ramifications of those differences are - that's obvious to anyone, even children. We can argue about those ramifications, but not that there are differences. I don't see how you go from there to your argument, logically.

> His belief in genetic predeterninism of societal structures and of thought patterns - masqueraded as Jungian archetypes - is indicative of a worldview just one logical step from the far right.

Again strawnan, he definitely argues it's part of the picture, but not the whole picture. Anyone who takes just one side in the nature vs nuture debate is out to lunch. It's obviously both.

I don't think your characterizations are balanced or correct.
Any good resources for this?
Generally, compensation is pretty closely tied to revenue per employee. Not always, but it’s a pretty good rule of thumb.

Companies that can’t afford to pay FAANG wages, typically don’t have FAANG productivity levels. Productivity in software is closely tied to how effective the technology and processes are. Most of those factors are fairly portable across companies.

So, I would say that an engineer working at a high total comp firm is likely acquiring more valuable human capital. Not always, but it’s a pretty good rule of thumb. If a company can afford to pay engineers $300k, they’re probably doing something right, in a way the company who pays $75k isn't.
Maybe! But that would mean going all-in on the "React is a framework, not a library" thing. Right now they're straddling the line where they can still argue that they're maybe kind of just a library, even if most people don't really buy it at this point
That is their intention. To shutdown discourse and shift the Overton window. This flows onto preference falsification.
The Canadian Major Juniors are a great model. Of course, there also players who try out at MJ camps with their names obscured as not to jeopardize their NCAA eligibility.

Baseball's history of labor abuse ( read up on the history of free agency ) is why the Minors are a terrible mechanism.
Well my point is that doesn't matter. We can't fix that. And what is impossible won't happen, therefore you must fix things somewhere, anywhere, else. That'll be school.
>There's no reason in the future why that service couldn't be performed by an off-the-shelf smart contract for essentially nothing.

You can pay these persons, but HN has a automatic voting ring detector and other manual methods, so it's possible that many of those upvotes of "high karma accounts" are ignored. Also, bad post with so many upvotes usually get mean comments and flags. My guess is that HN regular smells most of these attempts.

[My recommendation is to just post your link with a comment explaining that you are the author and some background, and be active in the thread to answer most of the questions, and cross your fingers.]

Anyway, fake/bought votes is a topic where dang usually loose his temper. If you want to trigger him, just say that he is not detecting them. (My guess is that he invest a lot of time in that, but he can't brag about that and can't make a nice post about that. So it's a lot of moderation work that is invisible.)
> Citing that no one officially lodged a criminal complaint isn't a counterpoint. Most sexual assault isn't pursued. Serial creeps are plying their trade right now.

Actually it is a counterpoint. If someone accuses me of a crime, then refuses to pursue any prosecution of that crime, and then expects me to suffer consequences for that crime, that's a gross injustice.

That's why we have a justice system.

>>We accept credit cards through PayPal, and crypto currencies. If you choose PayPal, %20 will be added to the price to cover the fees and the hassle we'll have to deal with.

If you don't like PayPal, why is there no other option for a credit card?
How DoorDash Leverages Hackathons to Drive Innovation
The opinion of a person with some credibility, like name is N, lives in a city M, occupation is X is valued more than some of anonymous.

Because nowadays there are too many fake accounts, even paid trolls, and talking to them (or even listening to them) is just waste of time, not a meaningful conversation.

My twitter account is anonymous and I sometimes get replies like why would I want to talk to nobody. And they are right, they probably shouldn't.
You don't get to force everyone out of the office and complain when you're forced to "change your lifestyle" when things recover to normal.
I think without specifically coordinated strategies to fight this, organized by the communities themselves, the cancelers will win and take over these communities because the game theory says they will win every time and pragmatic people are going to defect to the winning team lest be open to attack themselves.

Look how this damaged this community though. All the broken friendships, lost jobs. At the end of the day, the people who didn't come to his defense I think will in many ways be the losers. They are the ones left in the weakened community.

So I think what I'm talking about his more of a decoy than a privateer. I think of privateering as plausible deniability in attacking someone.

Whereas, what I'm suggesting is more structuring a business such that they can't be sued for patent infringement since they don't own the technology that is allegedly infringing. So if your company receives a cease-and-desist letter, your lawyers can respond with a contract from Core Technology LLC granting you license to use the technology as you deem if, and that the Patent Troll needs to contact Core Technology LLC if they have patent issues.

In the mean time, you can stop licensing from Core Technology LLC and instead move to a new vendor, Core Technology II LLC, who offers an improved product anyway.

The goal being to make it not worth pursuing your business.

Honestly- I don't think 99% of students will care. And those that do are largely the type that will not need this class (well off, or already would be doing this research, for example).

I think it's really hard to care about 99% of personal finance until you are in it, and thankfully most students in this class won't have to care about the material immediately. And the material is bottom of the barrel in terms of intellectual stimulation and a surprising large body of material. Without "hooks" like actually paying rent, electric, etc. it feels so abstract that nothing sticks well.

We had a course like this required as part of my high school graduation reqs and among myself/friends it was hugely ineffective.

I don't know what the best way to solve this problem is, but I'm dubious this will benefit anyone
> life is suffering

Not sure why I'm sharing this, but I saw a hawk kill a squirrel yesterday. It was standing on top of the squirrel (still alive) on my neighbor's lawn.

Three other squirrels were screeching and they made futile charges at the hawk to try to free the other squirrel.

The amount of distress / suffering / chaos was far more disturbing than I would have expected to see on a suburban lawn. I even considered intervening and trying to scare the hawk away.

But the hawk's gotta eat, too.

Plus, it probably would've kicked my ass.

I'm not saying being against freedom of speech is toxic. I'm saying getting put on a hate speech list for being pro freedom of speech is.

I've had great discussions with friends and family that disagree with me on free speech.

On Twitter people don't seem to treat each other as people, but as representatives of a given ideology.
Try me. I've already read all of the ones I can find - they all say the same thing - masks have a barely positive impact (non-zero, but barely positive) on the transmission of Covid. This is not surprising, as the holes in a mask are significantly bigger than the aerosols that they are supposed to slow.

Many different measures have been implemented, you can't possibly pick one of them and say that particular one has had a definite impact on a certain thing.

At least where I live, the way that Covid deaths were recorded over the winter left plenty of leeway for those dying "with Covid" to have just died of the flu (to be specific, if a patient had symptoms or evidence of a viral respiratory disease being the cause of death, then all that was needed was a "clinical picture of Covid" to make it a Covid death).
Well, it's easy to get excited fantasizing about the future, but your predictions are about as likely to occur as the flying cars we're flying around right now.

In fact none of the major platforms we use today was just predicted and constructed. They've evolved and shown their benefits naturally and not entirely in expected ways. No one actually planned the web to be an application platform. It was a university paper exchange program. And the Internet before it was a military communication network.

Your predictions about the grand future of AR remind me of the excitement around VRML couple of decades ago.

"Looking at stale 2D web pages will be a funny anachronism of our time" we thought. Turns out making existing content more fancy in 3D wasn't that useful, it actually was more cumbersome both to create and to use, so 3D web pages died before they even had a true chance to live.

Wisdom of the crowd Python web frameworks rank
American culture has a really bizarre mix of two things, which you can see playing out here.

1. Oversexualizing everything. Imagery, video, Tinder, clothing styles, everything is in your face sex all the time.

2. Remnants of a Puritan approach to sex. Absolutely nothing is okay unless explicit consent is given repeatedly. Even hugs are considered sexual harassment if not explicitly approved.

I’m not casting judgment and saying X approach to sex is the right one. But this tension is bound to result in events like the one in the link. It mostly just sounds like this guy got drunk and hit on girls with a little too much fervor. Not a great thing, but probably not something one should obsess over years later.

Everyone needs to lighten up, frankly.

You don't really know if HR was involved or not.
Why can't it be both?

Yes, housing regulations are pretty much the root cause of all of the Bay Area's problems (IMO). But at the same time, people making $100k+ aren't helpless, they have all the agency and means to live within their means. This includes making the decision to live with roommates, or perhaps even leaving the Bay Area for saner pasteurs like other commenters in this thread.

Earlier, you said the following: "Is that so crazy if you're making 1.5x the national median income?", and I'd like to dig into that a little more. It's not really accurate to compare Bay Area's income with the national median without also considering how the cost of living compares with the national median also. Bay Area new grads are certainly high earners relative to people in Iowa, but they're decidedly middle class relative to their peers in the Bay Area. If you want a proper apples-to-apples comparison of how "HENRYs" ought to live their lives, you need to compare them with people in other parts of America that are also middle class relative to their local peers.

Either that, or you have to compare their income to the median income in the Bay Area, which I believe is around $96k. So if you're earning $100k, you're not earning 1.5x the median, you're at the median, and should therefore spend like you're in the median.

Social and commercial sanctions for people who "pressure" women into sex at industry events isn't "puritanism".
In this instance it 'went too far' when a politician backtracked on support for Israel.
I mean, as someone who has yet to crack one FAANG (or similar level company) offer, a FAANG engineer is someone that I look up to. But my friends and ex-colleagues who did crack FAANG did so with difficulty, and they got rejected from all but the one company that did extend an offer. They all say if they were to re-interview at their companies (or another FAANG), odds are they'd be rejected.

So someone who can get offers from multiple FAANGs is someone that I would seriously consider to be on a whole another level, i.e. a wizard, for lack of a better term.

OOP is not inheritance, just one possible trait among OOP implementations, just like FP isn't Haskell.

Component programming with interface separated from state is exactly what Objective-C protocols, COM, VBX, SOM, Component Pascal were all about.

Those that promote ECS as not being OOP 99% of the times never read books like the one I linked on my comment.

Instead they reference a talk done at GDC by one of the very first engines that made it well known to those that never read CS papers or books.
That was a good read. ...but if anything it sort of highlights the scope of the problem.

More like 60,000 - 65,000 after health insurance, 401k. Throw in another 24,000 for rent.

In practice, you'll have like 3000 a month in disposable income. Living in an expensive city that pays high salaries, you can live frugally on $1,000 so that leaves $24,000 savings a year if you live an incredibly cheap life.

Entertainment, alcohol, day trips/vacations, and hobbies can easily eat that up.

I got into my dream job and recap of last year
I know of at least 5 women who stopped attending these events because of you, and their (near-)contemporaneous accounts of your behavior does not match your current recollections of your past behavior.
I think the point of all this is that my opinion of how much college athletes should be compensated isn't relevant. My opinion on how much a software developer should be paid isn't relevant either, because the market sets the rate of compensation for software developers.

The problem right now with college athletics (at least football and basketball) is that the schools found a cash cow and the pro leagues found a free farm league that produces top talent. Its a symbiotic relationship and neither one wants to rock the boat. There's a reason the NFL players have their own union after all.

Regarding your second question, West Nowhere State is an ant in an elephants world. There are plenty of D3 programs (that give no aid or preferred admission) that have football programs that lose hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. They'll keep doing it even if Alabama is able to pay their players above the table.

As far as under the table money, I'm not sure. I never saw nor heard about those things, and with the way athletes like to boast it would surprise me if they were all able to keep their mouths shut. I think its less money going to less athletes than people would like to think.
> you are always going to hire certain people just so you can fire them in order to protect your most valued people.

Wouldn't the most valued people get retained at the end, whether the new hires were "hired to fire"? If so, a manager has no incentive to do bad hires.
Perhaps you are being too charitable in assuming that the student was calling for Stallman’s head out of past trauma. It could be that the calling for his head was a performative act for her own benefit, boosting her in the eyes of others.

You put scare quotes around "controversy" because we all understand that there's no real controversy to it. Miranda remains as culturally powerful as he's ever been. Sometimes people apologize because they think it's the right thing to do, without expecting their apologies to manipulate detractors into withdrawing claims. And, as we can see from this post, sometimes people have the opposite expectation.

No, that is a poor conclusion. Athletes are not distributed in the nature you are suggesting. There are profitable players who exist on unprofitable teams and there are profitable teams that exist in unprofitable athletic departments. The reverse is also true.

Honestly the biggest stumbling block for me to be in support of paying college athletes are all these details on deciding who gets paid and how much since they don't all provide uniform value. There are situations in which one person might be worth millions and their teammate might be worth absolutely nothing. That is one of the reasons why I think allowing players to profit of their name, image and likeness (NIL) rights seems like the first step. That allows the free market to better assess their value and reward them for it. Roughly half the states have already passed, are currently debating, or have recently debated laws allowing college players to profit of their NIL rights.
