I don't know where you get that.

The suffering of the woman is real. So is the suffering of the man.

It only adds and doesn't subtract. I don't need to reiterate on the suffering of the woman because that is described very well in the article (which i posted!)

You're being insensitive, treating me as a man the way that a black person might get treated in the 1950s south USA. Sexual pleasure is one of the great things about being alive in this world. If that was destroyed for a woman by female circumcision you would see that as a bad thing. If circumstances did the same for a man it is not any different.

A man in a situation like that will get told to "leave" and that is not a good answer for many. For one there are many other kinds of love and a person in that kind of relationship might be able to give and receive all of the other kinds of love except for that.

So many people try "serial monogamy" and it so often ends in tears. In terms of sexuality a man like that might be satisfied by a woman with average sexual responsiveness or even a standard deviation below the mean. That person is easy to find, but be much more difficult to find somebody who has all the other good traits of the current partner.

A man like that might have strong loyalty and also feel that their current partner deserves to be loved in all the ways they are able to receive it even if their partner can't receive it. Their partner shouldn't be rejected and left alone because they were victimized in this past

An obvious answer is polyamory and the women might well be accepting of that but if you were the kid who was bullied in school and then rejected, made invisible, and then suffered years of self-doubt because of somebody else's crime succeeding at polyamory can look like climbing a mountain.

A woman can be very insensitive about this because a woman who wants a sexual relationship, snap their fingers, and get it. Some men who want that can get it easily but most can't. There is a huge focus on a small population of men who are abusive, attractive, rich or some combination, the experience of the vast majority of men is invisible.
It sounds like the professor made it clear she was speaking in terms of population averages. So unless you can find empirical evidence that those statistics don't apply to that slice of the population, then there's absolutely no problem with what she said. She didn't say "15 of the men in this class are rapists."

Law students aren't learning to be statisticians, epidemiologists, or policy wonks. Emotionally moving people to act upon a collection of documented facts— be it in trial or a contract negotiation— requires persuasive speaking and strategy. She made the breadth and consequences of rape palpable to her students not only by giving it a face, but giving it their faces. Since this poster, years later, immediately recalled that story when prompted, I reckon it was thoroughly compelling.
I feel sorry, that you are in this situation. Consider this: If they are willing to raise wage when employees put their notice in, then perhaps that has become the normal flow in the organization, towards higher salary. Or also: If they are willing to pay higher salary then, why not before one starts drama?

I am talking from a position of never having had to ask for a raise, so I am probably biased as well. My job is not a job, in which one can sit back and do a lot of busy work. We have new challenges often and are developing the core product, while the organization is growing and there are more customers all the time. We are thinking about scalability of the product and such things. Many things are in the making. Is it the perfect job? Maybe not. It depends on what you value in a job. Pay, work-life balance, what you work on, co-workers, office setup. There are many things, so the answer might look different for different people.

Best wishes for the future and hopefully you will get that raise.
Thank you for stating this.
Yeah this is unclear to me as well but if I were to hazard a guess it would be passing off student project / bootcamp experience as work experience. This may be more prevalent when starting out.
So I'm being downvoted, which I expected because of the subject matter, but I've done research in this area and many of the correlates they talk about are associated with familial and other ecological factors that tend to cluster very locally.

I don't even personally believe that sexual abuse is not associated with the things they claim, but statistically speaking, you have many of these things clustering together (sexual abuse, pubertal acceleration, psychiatric challenges), and controlling for things in the way they did is grossly insufficient. A lot of this stuff is very broadband.

Let's say you have some stressors from the environment (impoverishment, heavy metals, pesticide exposure, whatever it is). Controlling for demographic and socioeconomic factors will help address this, but the only way to do it convincingly is to look at these variables within-family, preferably controlling for genetic relatedness as well. Otherwise something like, say, chemical exposure is likely to affect children as well as the adults around them in a way that might be specific to a certain household.

Not being very precise in your designs does as much damage to isolating confounding environmental causes and effects of sexual abuse per se as anything else.
Again, I'm no legal expert, but I'm pretty sure forced labour is forcing someone to work against their will, not charging a commission to work.

People pay commissions to work all the time, they might agree with taxes, they might disagree with union dues, but regardless, I'm pretty sure it's not a human rights violation.
I was inspired by the Minitel to start Esurance in 1997. The Minitel of course had porn (more Craigslist type "offerings" from real people) but also reservations, travel, and...INSURANCE!
You are totally correct, it was so efficient that it delayed the adoption of the worldwide web. Of course France wanted something in FRENCH (!). As I was raising money in Europe for Esurance, the French executives would look down on me and say "we have the Minitel, we want nothing to do with your Internet" :-)

As another comment mentioned, this was with non carboxylated cannabinoids. If you’re smoking the leaves then it doesn’t really apply to you.
To give a comparison, 35 PPD is equivalent to a 1080p screen 60cm away from you.

So the resolution is basically there, but what about latency? Output-to-photon is as direct as possible (NUC Displayport -> DP-to-MIPI -> Displays), so the only question is how low we can get the motion-to-output latency.

Unfortunately that's not a question I can answer yet. Tracking is hard, especially when you're designing for a portable headset. But I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get it to sub-frame latency if my mmWave idea works out.
> America is still stuck in this alternate universe where it's a great privilege to have the opportunity to learn, which is of course true to some extent, but they really put it on a pedestal there.

I think the facts don't really support the idea of it being a "great privilege" in the sense of being inaccessible to most. E.g. if you look at this table of tertiary education by country, in OECD countries plus a few others, the US is in the top 10.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tertiary_...

In the section below that, if you look at 4-year degrees or higher, more Americans have a 4-year equivalent than Israelis, Swedes, Canadians, Norwegians, French, German etc.

We're not an outlier in how many of us go to college, just in how much of people's lives they end up paying for it.

> why would the hiring manager assume you’ll thrive in your new career path any better than your old one?

Tech is such a lucrative field, why would your default assumption be about whether they thrived or not before, instead of just that they recognized the good deal that tech is?

"This is a career reset, and the fact that you weren't happy topping out at $60k in your previous field is a red flag that must be explained away" is how I read that part of your comment.
Perhaps if they don't want "hate" they should perform the most basic of regression tests before shipping updates.

We're all within 7 or so years of age, except the boat repair who is considerably older.

This isn't a contest IMO, we all do more than OK. But it's definitely not fair to say that college pays more than trades. Both have huge swaths of pay ranges, from effectively zero, to millions. But if you're optimizing for making as much money as possible, I'd argue you're doing it wrong anyways.
No, I think public prices would definitely make things cheaper. It would also incentivize keeping bureaucracy lean, there is little to no price incentive to do so now.

I haven't tried this device, but I've tried HP's G2 (which is noticeable absent from Simula's comparison matrix). From personal experience, it's terrible for games that require controller tracking aside from driving and flying sims, but... it has a 2160 resolution per eye (text is very clear with no screen door effect) and it's $599 MSRP; it also frequently goes on sale for $399. Paired with Virtual Desktop software, you can work in VR now in Windows & MacOS if portability and Linux support isn't a necessity; though I imagine it could work on a high powered laptop

If I have to sign an agreement that gives my employer permission to terminate me at any time for any reason with or without cause, they should not be surprised that it also grants me the right to quit at any time for any reason with or without cause.

And yet, all that fuss about these job hoppers. How about creating an environment and culture where sticking around beats job hopping instead?

As for the alternative? Check out the severance packages that executives and TLAs get. Try scaling that down to the employee level. Not going to happen.
"Skilled trades pay better than most bachelor's degree track jobs. My kids can make more money with a six month apprenticeship than they will with all but a few 4 year degrees. If you can drive a forklift, you can make $45K/yr... which is identical to what an firsty year teacher makes."

With the forklift you will stay at 45k forever and probably make less every year whereas for the teacher this is a starting salary and will go up. Talk to real blue collar workers and from most you will hear a not very rosy picture. Pay stagnates, management treats them like crap, terrible working conditions, very hard on the body so getting older is difficult.

Unless you are a business owner or in a very good union blue collar jobs aren't much fun.
The point that kinda got lost here is that outside of the big tech circles, equity packages are basically non-existent. So, whereas in, say, Google Canada, you might make CAD 150k salary + 100k equity, in CGI[0], you might only make a CAD 120k salary with no equity grant for a similar level of seniority.

It actually doesn't work that great in Germany. The college dropout rate is about 28% (https://researchgate.net/publication/267340378_Student_Drop-...). The Hauptschule and Realschule routes seem much better designed than the US, but in terms of predicting who is suitable for college Germany isn't doing a very good job.

You gotta have the talent and funding available too. Ain't none of that in ND or OK. Maybe some in DC but that's such a heavily government focused area that I don't know why anyone would do a startup there unless it was government centered.
You're selling a new way of working on your computer, something supposedly greater than the sum of its parts. Such things can't be expressed in numbers and tables, they can only be experienced. That experience won't be for everybody; they might get sick, they might decide it's a worse experience and make things take longer, etc. Those are my fears.

Spending $2800 (or, gulp $3500) just to see if I'd barf while in vim is a really big stretch. Perhaps those with way more disposable income wouldn't mind trying, but that's not me. If there was a trial period with free return, that would help.

> kids that had a job, any job before age 18 make 35% more than their peers over their lifetime regardless of degree.

I'm surprised by the magnitude but I can see why this would be the case. Working teenagers probably correlate with having parents who value work. Plus it teaches some valuable skills early on. An entry level job can throw all sorts of uncomfortable challenges at you, which you are expected to handle in stride.

I'd say there's a societal benefit as well, due to the empathy it promotes. Most people work very different jobs as an adult than they would as a teenager. Having more perspective on what other workers experience makes one more kind and reasonable in general.

Here it is stored on a blockchain. (yay)
But where is this actually stored?

Is it expected that N users will store it for everyone else?

Sounds like a restatement of Postel's robustness principle[1]. Did it go out of style to "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept" and we need to relearn it again?

Well, perhaps it did. History has shown the dangers of not handling malformed input well. Postel's principle has received scrutiny[2] for reinforcing those mistakes by creating a mistaken belief in robustness. More recent recommendations have been to be stricter in handling of inputs[3].

But I think there is some confusion between robustness and defensiveness. "Be liberal in what you accept" may be confused with "don't sanitize your inputs" when not sanitizing is the less liberal action. Robustness means the program should not fail if it receives input it didn't expect. A program that crashes, hangs, executes unintended shell code, mangles the data, changes the thermostat, or other undefined behavior is not being robust. To prevent that from happening then data must be sanitized at input so that it can be processed without those side-effects. The examples of programs failing robustness have been because they were insufficiently defensive.

The bigger issue is that robustness doesn't scale easily. You may know how your bit of code will deal with malformed data, but what about every other library you use? Or other systems you communicate with? It becomes a backstage problem, where once someone has gained access to a restricted area it's assumed they are authorized to be there. The further down the tech stack you go the less likely the code will be defensive. That puts a burden on the public-facing sanity checks to anticipate how relaxed they can be about the input.

If you change the definition of output to include internal-outputs, then Postel's principle gets new life. That is, try not to program the entire system and ecosystem at once, but treat each software component as an island. Be liberal not only with the data you receive from the end-user, but also with return values from functions. Be conservative and escape not only your generated HTML, but also the SQL statements you dispatch to the backend. This is what input sanitizing is actually about, it's keeping the promise to the other parts of your program that your code isn't going to give them bad data. That's also what the linked article is saying, because the HTML being generated is itself one component in a chain of programs that includes the end-user's browser.

> Also, in-state tuition for state schools is much less than $50k/yr so try going to Cal and/or your best local public school and supplement with self teaching (e.g. via public/free lectures from MIT)?

Unrelated question: does "Cal" mean Berkeley here? Do you really need to "supplement it with self-teaching"? I don't really understand why state schools are viewed that way, since Berkeley consistently ranks world top-10.

Everybody and everything can "provide a platform" if you do enough mental gymnastics. The AWS infrastructure you do you business on 'provides a platform'. The networking devices that route customer traffic 'provide a platform', the browser API 'provides a platform', the CPU that you code runs on also 'provides a platform'. "Providing a platform" doesn't entitle someone to grab 30% of sales from a business. If I rent office space, I pay the rent which is a mostly fixed amount, I don't pay them 30% of sales from my business - Yes, not a perfect analogy, but you get the point! Grabbing 30% of sales is just unethical, but that is just my view.
One show: X Files.

1990s Vancouver. Rain. Grey. Science fiction changed from the bright colors of LA (Star Trek) to Vancouver's rain forests (X Files, Stargate, Outer Limits). Why were Star Trek's colors so bright? Desi Loe Studios paid extra for the color film and wanted to use it. X files was on a tight budget and couldn't afford to brighten Vancouver enough to make it look like California. So the backgrounds become dark and grey.

Similar things happened in many film. Alien had budget problems and difficult creature effects. Net result: hide everything in darkness. The color has as much to do with budget as art.
It's unfortunate about people not looking at Github more. Personally, I look in depth, but i'm not responsible for hiring. If I were, I most definitely would not have hired many of the people that we have hired where I work. There IS a flipside to this however: many of the best devs I've worked with have very little on Github, so its imperative to find a way to judge technical merit some other way.
" card will be marked and considered somebody who will try this again in the future" Not sure this is such a terrible thing. He got far more money than he would have originally if he just said nothing and stayed and if going forward he just gets 3 - 5% it is still a % of a much larger number. Worst case is if for some reason the company gets vindictive they just get a new job and a new raise. Optimally though if the employee is pleasant and up front about a new offer, then the company treats it as strictly business. They decide if the requested salary is worth what the developer delivers, if yes they make the offer, if no they wish the employee well with their new job.
