How would that not happen? Businesses are always looking for an edge over the competition. If it was clear that women bosses outperformed men, any smart investor would insist on having them run the joint. The only counter argument would be that investors hate women more than they love money, which is just patently absurd on the face of it, since they obviously love nothing more than money.
its also pretty fun to see everyone speculate about it, maybe they are waiting because its way too fun to watch, before they reveal how uninteresting it is what they actually have
The idea is that membership of boards is often chosen by existing members of said boards, and that people (not always, but on average) have a tendency to choose people who are like themselves. And boards are typically male-dominated due to historical sexism, so the goal is to disrupt that inertia with an external push towards a more diverse group, with the hope that it will then be self-sustaining going forwards. And this is considered desirable because it means that opportunity and power is more evenly distributed across different sections of society.
Agreed. I was invested in NVDA during this period. Should look back and see how the stock performed during the relevant period.
Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot…
Is that really expensive though? Someone has to cut the wood, someone has to transport it, then someoneone will cut up the trees, someone will finish the wood, someone will build a cabinet out of it, and then someone will deliver it to your door. All those people need to be paid for your cabinet to exist.

I like to consider how much people would have to pay me to spend a similar amount of time, and the cost would be much, much higher than €1000.

> The possibility that we cannot collectively reach an all-knowing state makes me uncomfortable?

I guess that's the meaning of life: living it without knowing what it actually is (in a fundamental level). General relativity, arts, quantum mechanics, religion, philosophy, informatics, or what not can take us just so far, but not more. I appreciate science because it allows me to post on HN and get vaccinated. I appreciate philosophy because it fulfils my soul. I appreciate religion because it works for my parents. But we are limited in what we can understand. If we believe that with our human tools we can ever discover the true meaning of everything (not just our universe), then we think too much of ourselves.
Judging by other practices I've seen in France, I'd say it's legal, but they have to notify you. That means "let you know", not ask for confirmation.

I've had several times get my mobile phone or internet subscriptions "improved" with some useless extra, like more GB (I barely use what I have) or more TV channels (I don't even own a tv) for the low price or 2-3 €, which is like a 20% increase. They usually take the form of a "free" add-on for three months, and then you have to pay.

They typically message you, and you may cancel that option. But if you don't pay attention, you'll have to pay for it.

If you feel truly happy about someone else but at the same time not let it reflect on you, then I would say you are minority. The first part of my sentence is achievable and is genuinely positive , at least in a way. The second part - not letting it reflect on you - is IMO most people struggle.
This a bit of an aside, but I wonder if people would be less prone to advocate pure functions if they had a name that didn't sound like a paladin had come up with them. Would people as eagerly advocate rewriting code to break it into greasy functions?
When I lived in Germany, rentals did not come with installed kitchens. As an American military wife, the US Army installed a fridge, sink, etc so I had a kitchen in one of my apartments.

My German relatives told stories about moving in and having no kitchen at first. That's inconceivable in most parts of the US.

Rentals here typically have a fridge that is property of the owner. And you aren't supposed to change it.

Edit: To be clear, they installed a kitchen of their choosing over time. (I also cleaned up typos.)
Then don't fucking use math to prove a point if it involves only subjective shit like I think this dude has better social skills because I know it when I see it, or this dude has larger culture fit because he likes same movie I do.

If you can meassure skils then you should be capable of hiring people with this simple 2 steps

1 Person A administers the tests
2 Person B checks the results but he has no idea who the candidates are

No more problems with gender,race,culture,political affiliation

Someone explain me how you always have to meet the candidate because you have a skill to read they competence and cultural fit from their face and body proportions and you are special and this proven physical biases never affect you the special one. I mean "you" in a general term not the comment author.

I think working in a remote team that I thought were as effective as an in-person team would convince me.
AFAIK it is written in Lazarus/LCL which in addition to the Qt backend it also has a native Cocoa backend. I wonder if the Qt backend is still better than the native Cocoa backend though - it used to be the case some years ago as it was easier to interface with Carbon than Cocoa (Free Pascal got an entire new language mode - Objective Pascal - to be able to use Objective C objects directly to work with Cocoa) so for years most effort went on the Carbon backend until it was deprecated and removed for 64bit apps - but nowadays all work is on the Cocoa backend.

Perhaps in the future BC will switch to the Cocoa backend and provide more "native" controls (and wont need to bundle Qt either).
That is the price for one from IKEA. Apart from the surface entirely build from standard parts that are probably made with relatively high levels of automation. In the end it seems expensive to me.
As a digital nomad you are probably able to live in places with a lower cost of living, but usually high salaries are in places with a high cost of living as well. This makes the price of eating out quite higher as well, often much more so than the cost of groceries.

Additionally, just because you can afford to eat out every meal doesn't mean you wouldn't rather do other things with your money (e.g. save to retire early).

Of course, if your income is high enough you might not even care about that, but I don't think this website covers such incomes (the highest kitchens I can see are $10k/month) and at that level you can probably pay someone to cook for you.
You have zero idea of the propensity of hidden damages
>But why would I? It's not like they took something from me. I am the lord of my destiny.

Envy. You can be genuinely happy for them, but then be sad that your life isn't going as well. I think this compounded by the idea that a lot of people don't feel like the lords of their destiny, more leaves in a river unable to fight the currents.

Which of course adds to the stress of "Why can't I be better and more like [friend]?". Which may or may not lead to productive self-reflection (more likely not in my experience)

>And how is it in any way different from the same people telling me this stuff at a pub? I don't think social media has anything to do with this.

Scale, I would imagine. If it was one or two friends I think it's easier to rationalise, but when you see friends-of-friends and celebrities "living their best life", every day, while you struggle to keep your head above water, it takes a toll.

Ask HN: How to break anxiety/fear-avoidance cycle?
For years anxiety/fear-avoidance cycle defined my life. I tend to procrastinate to a such extent that causes problems in my day to day functioning, and generally my life.

For example, i have to submit 2 fairly simple assignments, in 2 and 3 days respectively. If i don't pass the next 4 assignments i will fail the lab, but i keep avoiding sitting down with all of my power. I feel pure fear and a sense of "i will certainly fail if i try".

The above example is with these assignments, but this type of behavior extends to everything in my life.

I believe you are using a non standard definition of "free market" here? Also I am not sure I understand what you mean by "excluding a significant proportion of your population from leadership roles". Of course, competency/qualification requirements excludes a large proportion of the population.

Ask HN: Why there's no crowdsourced phone number blocklist?
Lately I've been receiving a lot of spam phone calls. Being an engineer I started thinking about how to solve the problem and avoid wasting time and/or being scammed.

I thought there ought to exist a list of annoying phone numbers like those that have been created for malicious/advertising domains but I could not find any.

Why is it so that nobody thought of it? Am I missing something important here?
That's called a confirmation bias, friend.
Right so using waste heat that way is more ecological.
While I’ve done similar fasting myself, with the same wondrous effects you describe, I want to point out that it seems this might be a lot harder to do for young women (in child bearing age). My partner tried to replicate what I did since I was hyping it so much, and failed miserably. Later we learned that the female body reacts much more violently to the lack of calories than male ones, and its a lot harder for them. Or maybe she had other compounding factors.

While she couldn’t do the several day fast, we found out that it was quite feasible to do the “one meal per day” thing, which shares a lot of the health benefits, and its a lot more forgiving.
For a high standard of living, we mostly need energy and some gadgets.

We are sitting on a big ball of matter, so at long as we have the energy, we can make all the gadget we need. (You can even make food underground in multiple levels, if you have enough energy to burn on lighting.)

So the real problem is energy. Luckily, renewable are currently getting a lot cheaper. And we also still have nuclear, if we really want to go that route. Fission works, and fusion is in the works.

Most supermarkets do sell demiwater (distilled/deionised), which is great for chemistry or cleaning of electrical components, as well as having a standard base (with mineral packets) for brewing coffee or beer. I would definitely not drink it, especially not without heavy supplementation of minerals, else you lose more minerals from your water circulation than the 0 that you gain.
Two of the mentioned packages, Lux and Enzyme, have increased correctness and decreased API surface... and were not mentioned for speed (though a lot of things end up faster when it's easier to prove correctness in the compiler)... so the response wasn't "more speed" but "here's correctness with resulting speed"...

I've never felt envy towards my friends and family. No, never. I find it bizarre that you do.

I never said I don't feel envy. You jumped to conclusions based on a very little sentence I wrote.

I currently have a very severe skin condition, and I live in a country with 'free' healthcare. I am envious that some people get medical treatment for it and can live a normal life again and some people do not (such as myself).

I don't give a shit if you think I'm dishonest, you do not know me.

On the other hand, I think one of the unique(?) elements of the game was perhaps because of the rather limited visual presentation.

Betrayal at Krondor uses written descriptions of events and environments a lot. It felt natural, at least to me, perhaps partially because the graphics didn't really allow for showing a lot of detail visually. Extensive voice acting wasn't really a thing in the floppy era either.

Nowadays, with the incredibly detailed graphics and professionally voice-acted spoken dialogue of AAA games, it might seem a lot more weird if what the characters saw were described in writing.

I'm sure the reason we emphasize calculus is because it's by far the most applicable part of math to a whole range of subjects. Now days maybe linear algebra is up there as well, but I'd struggle justifying teaching algebraic geometry to general undergrads. I'm sure the applications are there, but calculus just gives you maximal bang for your buck.
"If you want something well done you'd better do it yourself"

No matter what there's always a tradeoff between having something in life the way you like it with lots of effort or rely on somebody else. But when you rely on other people they'll do stuff the way _they_ like.

It's both a motto that encourages me to try new things and invest time doing them but also to respect other people's work and point of views.
To my knowledge ZFS indeed has a very very good track record, but Ubuntu did have an incorrect patch for it at a time, as I was enlightened by this comment in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31292568

Is the sec concern trolling nvidia? What do they mean by impact?

> the sale of its graphics processing units (GPUs) designed and marketed for gaming

SEC recognises that these cards where marketed to gamers and even recognise that the parts of NVIDIA marketed toward crypto mining was reported as crypto mining.

It seems like nvidia did business as usual and the real problem is those filthy gamers that aren't gaming.

If NVIDIA reported its gaming cards to SEC as crypto cards, now that the crypto market is dead and those cards are being used for gaming would SEC still consider NVIDIA to be in the wrong for their undisclosed impact on gaming?

Seems like SEC is mad at gamers for making money instead of gaming and they are taking it out on NVIDIA. Im just glad some one is standing up to these filthy gamers.
You're not alone.

Why less consumption?

We are sitting on a huge ball of matter, and even consumption typically does not destroy any matter nor loses any to the void of space.

(The sun is a great source of energy. We also have nuclear fission and fusion, otherwise.)
> We can outsmart, and have repeatedly outsmarted, all sorts of potential disasters.

Sometimes it was just mankind surviving as a species though. Humans as a whole are probably hard to kill. But that says nothing about one of the defining traits of mankind: Their ability to form advanced cultures and civilizations. The survival rate of these cultures is abysmal and there is no reason to be believe, the current culture with its incredible high standard of living for as many people as ever before, will not fail. I blame Hollywood and their stories about the eternally advancing human race for this fallacy.

Sure humans will likely survive a great many catastrophes but they might find themselves again in an agrarian society and in far fewer numbers.

For drafting yes, but at some point someone will probably want to edit or review the parts collectively. It's easy to prematurely consolidate the chapters into one file, and then any further changes have to be merged into the 'master'. A proper VCS can help here.

I'm not saying I don't like it :-) This isn't describing the same sort of thing as that.

To give an example, it would be like legislating that companies switch to email from postal mail because it's a competitive advantage to do so. I'm saying that that isn't a valid (or necessary) use of legislation. Companies will use email anyway to give themselves a competitive advantage.
Thanks for summarizing the info.

It was obvious to the gamers who tried to buy a GPU for a reasonable price. If you put some time into this endeavor, you were bound to see all those cards coming in to retailers immediately being bought, with a few appearing on secondary markets at higher price tags but being bought away very quickly there as well. This occurring in parallel with a huge bunch of "looking for GPUs A, B, C, D, offering $ridiculous_price in cash, will take any number of cards" offerings on Craigslist and similar platforms speaks a clear language: nobody is trying to secure various different GPUs despite high prices in basically unlimited numbers for GAMING! Nor do gamers buy up all those overpriced secondary market offerings within minutes of them being posted.

But: the stock market investors that are moving the really big bags of cash rarely have hours and days to spend trying to hunt down GPUs for their gaming rigs. So they wouldn't see these obvious hints.
> In two of its Forms 10-Q for its fiscal year 2018, NVIDIA reported material growth in revenue within its gaming business. NVIDIA had information, however, that this increase in gaming sales was driven in significant part by cryptomining. Despite this, NVIDIA did not disclose in its Forms 10-Q, as it was required to do, these significant earnings and cash flow fluctuations related to a volatile business for investors to ascertain the likelihood that past performance was indicative of future performance. The SEC’s order also finds that NVIDIA’s omissions of material information about the growth of its gaming business were misleading given that NVIDIA did make statements about how other parts of the company’s business were driven by demand for crypto, creating the impression that the company’s gaming business was not significantly affected by cryptomining.

> “NVIDIA’s disclosure failures deprived investors of critical information to evaluate the company’s business in a key market,
