> What is the most meaningful lever to help increase women founder representation?

This is a great question and something I've been thinking about as well.

IMHO, the most meaningful lever overall is improving representation in VC.

The most meaningful lever that I can act upon, as a male technical founder looking for a cofounder, is to look for women founders to partner with and women investors to join my cap table.

Recently, I did find and reach out to some folks on angels.vc - a women-led community of accredited angel investors.

Curious to hear your perspective.
This type of laser is about 1% efficient (someone will correct me if I’m out of date on this, but it’s not likely to be better than 10%). Laser fusion really has nothing to do with energy production.
Remains to be seen based on the outcome of longitudinal studies.

I have not seen a comprehensive general population safety study. I believe the last large scale safety studies are the ones used for EUA.

Would love to be proven wrong though. I’m assuming that if there was new good safety data it would be blasted from the roof tops, just like the ~95% effective number was after the phase 3 studies.
> and not 100s, like I have with PGP+U2F

I'm really interested to hear what you're doing that gives you 100s of signatures a day (or decrypts?)

I have been searching for an openpgp card replacement but I use one with a hardware pinpad, I can't imagine entering my pin 100s of times a day!
I find Bluetooth to be the flakiest of the common technologies I use. There are just way too many times that it just doesn't work for no discernable reason.

I have 3 cars with Bluetooth and they all have their quirks, but they generally work. The Ford Fusion, which boasts the Sync system "by Microsoft" is the worst, though. It will always show the little Bluetooth icon soon after starting the car, but when you try to switch to your device, it says there is no Bluetooth device and I have to connect manually by selecting the phone (which Ford lovingly places behind about 8 knob turns and clicks). And of course, sometimes it simply refuses to acknowledge there is a phone at all, so we keep an analog audio-in cord handy.

And I have had a couple of different Bluetooth phones. My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy 4 Mini that I replaced about 6 months ago with an A52. Bluetooth always worked fine with both phones, but again, there are quirks. In my Honda Civic, the old phone would automatically connect to the car's system and start playing whatever music I'd left off within about 20-30 seconds, whereas with the new (and much nicer) Samsung A52, it takes 2 or 3 minutes... or until I get impatient and select the phone manually.

I mean, it probably depends on where you are, but at least here (Ireland) this isn't true. The contact tracing and vaccination apparatus was run largely with people borrowed from other civil service departments, or hired as contractors. When the mass vaccination capability was stood down last year, they went back to their normal work and it took a while to start it back up again for boosters.

Did your local government actually hire large numbers of new permanent employees to administer this? This is (a) rather unlikely and (b) very much something you can check.

Here in Austin, TX we have 3 or 4 non-profit, community radio stations (two of them timeshare). Wait, actually one of them split into a news station and a music station a couple years ago, so now it's 4 or 5.

Radio's best currently working business model, is the Patreon model. Except, public radio has been doing it since before Patreon.
The problem is in the hype.

For example, the tradeoff between centralized and distributed has been taken (mostly informally) by big institutions for years. It´s not possible for a large bank with multiple overlapping domains, hundreds or thousands of dev tems (some of them outsourced/offshored) to have all of it´s code in a single repo or a single executable. And not all of it´s applications have the same requirements (technical, scale, etc) either.

SOA came to aid in this case by putting a common integration pattern between the interested parts.

But at some point the idea was hyped, and even small teams with no diverse technical or scale problems started doing simple backends using full blown distributed systems without reason.

Basically: if you don´t have problems of scale (domain, technical or people related) going microservices first is probably not granted.
Look more closely. That's what I thought at first. Read what people who were actually in the intelligence agencies said.
The responses here to this story defending the plugin author are appalling. They all seem to boil down to "you didn't read the fine print or the source code, so whatever the plugin does is defensible". What if instead of taking a percentage of the ad revenue, the plugin siphoned credentials or ran malware as a revenue generator, or did whatever else? And what if it openly explained in the fine print that it would be doing this?

When I updated my address for voter registration a couple of years ago, I noticed my phone number was wrong so I updated it too. Huge mistake. I rarely received spam texts or telemarketer calls and now I receive both constantly. It started just a couple of months after the change. Even without those two annoyances, the political spam texts are nightmarish. They're basically DDOS attacks because the lists are distributed to large numbers of volunteers using their own phones to send out texts. It doesn't matter how many numbers you block, the next day there are dozens more text from dozens of other numbers. And since they're political campaign texts, they are legal due to the exemption politicians gave themselves to the anti-spam laws. Right now we're in a lull between elections so the number of political texts is small but as we get close to the midterms, it will become an all day affair. In 2020 it peaked at over 80 political texts in a single day. Not sure why they think this is effective in making anyone like them but they keep at it.

I'm not sure you made the case for why facebook is a monopoly. They don't hold a monopoly on friends list online. Everywhere I go from instagram, tiktok, snapchat, xbox, etc. They many of a monopoly on your friends attention but communication can exist outside of these networks.

Why require XMPP, if XMPP is a superior product people will find it and use it.

Remember when the US invaded Iraq to "find weapons of mass destruction"? Then a year or two later that shifted to "fighting the terrorist there so we don't have to fight them here", then "winning hearts and minds" or something.

Once you get a mandate for a large-scale, politically charged activity it will never stop; the goal posts will be moved again and again, as many times as it takes and as often as necessary to put the "other side" on the defensive.

We're many weeks past "three weeks to flatten the curve", every week we hear more excuses. My friends pick them up and start parroting them in near perfect unison. I don't actually have any Republican friends, but if I did I'm sure I'd hear something similar from them too. This is no longer about fighting a disease, if it ever was (I also remember the response to AIDS being somewhat less dramatic than to COVID), this is about securing access to resources and power for one group over another. If it means thousands of your followers are discouraged from taking potentially life saving vaccinations (that you yourself have taken) and die as a result, so be it. If it means subjecting billions of people to years of unnecessary and demonstrably ineffective pandemic theater, crushing the financial future of the next generations, and destroying vast swaths of small businesses people have spent their lives building while realizing unprecedented returns on your own portfolio, so be it. The people running this do not care about any of this in the slightest, it's just an excuse to enrich themselves, and for a certain segment of the upper middle class to feel morally superior to others while they take Zoom calls from home and order dinners from Seamless. I guess this is getting boring for them now, so we're starting to be allowed to hear a trickle of stories like this.

> It would be hard to imagine you couldn't make money buying a radio station for $150,000.

I owned a network of radio stations. You're buying a terrible job with a $150,000 radio station (anything sub ~$500,000 actually). You better love radio. You're better off being a software developer above the median ($110,000+ per year with benefits).
It's a significant topic of concern, and governments have been restricting the tobacco industry more and more since the 80s. Most developed countries now ban indoor smoking and the advertisement of tobacco; some are getting ready to ban tobacco outright.
Why can’t we just group antivaxxers with smokers then?

We’ve ignored the obesity problem for a long time and are taking 0 steps to correct after we’ve seen our health systems buckle in no small part due to it. If you’re in favor of mandates but not forced weight loss you’re just playing politics.

Yes, one is easier than the other, but the magnitude of good done by reducing obesity dwarfs the good done by vaccines. If the US had ignored Covid and focused solely on obesity we would likely have been better off in terms of all cause mortality.
You can try to argue that this is stuff that people _should_ be doing, but it's always nice to build technology that acknowledges the tendency for humans to avoid doing repetitive, boring, manual work, rather than pretend that not be the case.

Get a headset that has Faststream or bidirectional APTX-LL A2DP vendor codec, and use it with BT stack that implements these codecs (e.g. Linux/Pipewire). Such devices are very hard to find, and aptx-ll in most devices is not bidirectional. I know only some headsets by Avantree that have it.

Or, wait for a few years for Bluetooth 5.2 LE Audio be available in consumer devices.

> I don't know why you consider dollars to be the "currency of dishonesty"

I was not trying to imply Americans are dishonest. I was trying to imply that insisting on the use of foreign currency like USD as the sole medium of exchange, or any other black market activity if it comes to that, is a dishonest way to make a living.

And sure, I understand why the black market exists from a socioeconomic point of view. I have learned my lesson about travelling in less advantaged countries. I witnessed stuff in Peru that would make suburban Karen's head explode with apoplexy, and it was just considered normal and expected stuff there.
The tool has a flow: stdin -> spyql -> stdout
You can choose the data format of the input and output. One of the output formats writes INSERT statements to stdout, enabling to import data to any SQL database. Currently, spyql does not have the option to generate a `CREATE TABLE` statement, but that is planned, as well as what to do with already existing data/tables (e.g. drop, truncate, ignore).

I wonder if UPDATEs and UPSERTs would also be useful, but haven't put much though into it, any feedback here would be welcomed.
Even if you spell it out for them, something tells me this person will keep calling you names, and finding every excuse not to question how they got to "believing" what they do.
I'm back to wired

Same here. Absolutely don't understand the appeal of wireless headsets for people who are sitting at a desk.

I've snapped up a bunch of used Bose QC25s from eBay, their last model that used a removable standard AAA battery.

Great sound, solid noise canceling, the wired mic is fine, they work even if the battery is drained, sound is better than Bluetooth. I keep a little AAA battery charger on my desk so it takes 10 seconds to swap out a depleted AAA for a new one; IMO far less hassle than remembering to charge headphones with non-replaceable internal batteries.

I expect the QC25s to last more or less indefinitely, aside from occasional replacement of the (insanely comfortable) earpads.
But they'll come in a new color.

My one mega-annoyance is no mute button. Not being able to mute a Zoom call (or a phone call) using just the Airpod hardware interface is... annoying. I don't use Siri that often and would honestly remap long click as mute/unmute. I'm willing to pay premium for that feature alone. Hell, I'm willing to subscribe that feature. Apple, "take my money", just give me a mute button that works without the phone (or watch, or laptop).

> Is ground-breaking neuroscience research only performed at tier 1 universities?

Absolutely not. I'm just sharing my perspective. People don't seem to realize the sheer amount of money that circulates in these institutions. A decent confocal microscope costs $500k, and core facilities aren't cheap either.

There are higher-energy reactions, like p+B11, that generate very few neutrons (it's dubbed "aneutronic" for the main reaction, if you can get there cleanly), and instead yield high energy charged (alpha) particles and photons. These could maybe be directly converted to electrical energy by a number of proposed mechanisms[2].

Highly challenging, but if possible, a very nice energy source, and we're finally out of the steam age!

Because the EU commission didn't prove its case. There is a presumption of innocence in this field, and the commission has to produce evidence that an as-efficient-competitor would not be able to charge sustainable prices in the face of the rebate scheme. The court held that the commission made errors in its analysis and so did not meet the burden of proof.

From the court's summary:

>The commission did not consider properly the criterion relating to the share of the market covered by the contested practice and also did not analyse correctly the duration of the rebates.

>It follows, therefore, from all of the foregoing considerations that the analysis carried out by the commission is incomplete and, in any event, does not make it possible to establish to the requisite legal standard that the rebates at issue were capable of having, or were likely to have, anticompetitive effects, which is why the General Court annuls the decision.

I'm confused. Hyperscript is supposed to be an alternative way to writing JSX, good for skipping the babel/transpile step. Such as the React h() function. For example:

h('header', { id: 'my-header', className: 'header' },
h('div', { className: 'logo' },
h('a', { href: '/' }, 'mtsknn.fi')
)
)

Hyperscript.org doesn't seem to be related to this at all?

AFAIK this treatment doesn't include "clogging an ICU because these people are on ventilators". I could be wrong though.
> Are unvaccinated hospitalizations significantly worse compared to other personal decisions (diet, exercise, risky hobbies).

I mean, clearly, yes. Those, in themselves, never (or at least virtually never) cause sudden exhaustion of hospital capacity. Now, many covid cases, particularly unvaccinated cases, have some sort of lifestyle problem as a comorbidity, but that's not really the point.
I believe that markdown editors belong into a certain group of software, which are seemingly simple, but people are for some reason pretty picky about features, UI, and so on.

Other members of this group are music/media players, simple organization tools (e.g. time-tracking, to-do), and of course coding-related text editors. I think I had one or two more examples, but don't remember right now.

And this leads to a lot of tools being very similar on surface.

Results should be what's assessed. A lot of analysis around ideal leaders focuses on the "inputs" instead of the outputs.

Of course, important to understand and try to correctly attribute what factors led to success or failure.

But if a charismatic, visionary leader chooses to pursue projects that don't have a hope of succeeding, I don't see that as a success.

That being said, don't know much about this guy's background. Maybe everything he's worked on were perfectly great ideas and failures were not due to his direction/leadership.

Anyway, I only comment on this because there's something of a bias to put extroverts/outspoken people into management roles, but I've found introverted people often do just as well. Of course always comes down to the individual.

> Did any hospital use queue management software to adjust pricing as a mechanism for demand throttling, due to limited capacity in 2020-2021

No one shops for healthcare in the US based on price, for three reasons. First, prices are unknowable in advance. Second, if you have insurance the insurance will fulfill their end of the bargain if you need to be admitted (i.e. they will pay as agreed upon in the insurance contract). Third, emergency rooms in the US are required by law to stabilize any emergent patient that walks in the door, which means anyone can go to any ER anywhere and get treatment.
