"Why Are There Still So Few Women in [high paying or high status job]"

note: there are no articles asking why there are so few women in a dangerous and/or underpaid or low-status occupation. Such as commercial fishing, oil and gas fieldwork, "ice road trucking" etc.
In exchange for not memorizing my passwords, I get different, random passwords for every site I use. Given likely attack vectors, I have seriously upgraded the security of my data. Add to this the syncing and the ease in my workflow, and I'll never, ever go back.

Passwords are terrible. 1Password and related software make having to live with them significantly less terrible.
That's only because most trips are of a few miles.
It's funny because over the years I have developed what I think to be a very reliable method for predicting someone's future.

Don't do it.

It's their life. While I hope it's rich, diverse and makes them immensely happy, it's not for me to say whether or not it 'works' for them or not.
I appreciate the tip, but you don't need to justify yourself with "hackers should respect language." Especially as that might imply that you think I don't, before giving me the opportunity to acknowledge the note. Thanks for the copy check :)

Having taken Molly, I'd say no, it doesn't make you any more suggestible or willing to tell the truth than marijuana or excessive alcohol do.

Maybe the most "suggestive" aspect of any of these drugs is the reduction of inhibitions and worry. But it's all relative to a person's sense of self and force of will -- they don't change you into another person, just remove some of the emotional blocks which prevent you from being, doing, or saying what you want to.

Your initial thesis is not supported by your observations, which anyway are problematic.

(1) This is not a "fundamental problem." Not every participant in the NYSE is a savvy investor, either.

(2) This was also true of the automobile market. It didn't stop Henry Ford. This is a serious incidental problem, but not a fundamental one.

(3) The best way to make money in a prediction market is to be able to predict the outcome of the predictions. You can also try to do what you're suggesting, and may have some success. Anyway, the evidence is that prediction markets work, both for hedging and for knowledge prediction.

For the record, not that it matters, Sergey Brin was born in 1973 and started a CS PhD at Stanford, specializing in OS, in 1993. I was born in 1973 and started a CS PhD at Berkeley, specializing in OS, in 1992. Alas, neither of us finished.

Intellectuals are no different from anyone else - they live in the same reality and must be judged by their results. I don't think anyone would disagree that PL theory, as a body of work, has produced a set of languages whose penetration in the real world is oddly small both given (a) the investment in these technologies, and (b) the many real advantages of typed higher-order programming.

As a general pattern, usually when I see this outcome explained, it takes the form of blaming the user. We wouldn't let anyone else get away with this excuse, so why should intellectuals be treated as a privileged class?

To be anti-intellectual is to judge intellectuals more harshly than they deserve. To be pro-intellectual, also a cognitive bias, is to judge them more leniently than they deserve. In a world whose bias is generally pro-intellectual, it's easy for a neutral assessment to seem relatively anti-intellectual, but perhaps what you are perceiving is not an exceptional bias but the absence of a systemic bias which you've grown used to.

That's why in my jurisdiction you can get fined up to 2000 Euros for that (a realistic amount is a low double-digit amount -- if nothing further happens, of course).
I am fine with getting nothing, but I will get angry if you insult me after I just helped you. And telling me my skills are worth less than minimum wage (assuming it took more than 3 hours to find the bug _is insulting_).

I'd like to address this obliquely with a question to urbit:

Is it always the case that the vowels may be compressed away without loss of meaning? It seems to work some/most of the time, but there is a least a %wet and %wut... I think?

Though this be method, yet there is madness to it.
On one side, I thought we were discussing using a chemical to enforce truthfulness instead of a device.

On the other side, I'd never thought of using an intoxicant to invalidate lie detecting devices.

> ""After" being the operative word. They crashed the Volts for testing purposes and then left them sitting outside with a nearly full but damaged battery. THREE WEEKS LATER a fire started."

Well damn, those sound like verified deathtraps!

Seriously, the fact that she had to reach back two years probably says enough. On the general note of battery safety in crashes, there have been several Tesla Roadster crashes (to be expected with that style of car) (http://www.wreckedexotics.com/tesla/), how many of them resulted in dangerous battery fires? Clearly these batteries do not present a serious safety concern.
It's not entirely fair to call this "resisting evil". The Feds went through the appropriate, judge-authorized channels to get the information. Is every search warrant an act of evil? And is each person served with the warrant the arbiter of what is evil and what isn't?

I support what Snowden did. Yet we must admit that it was illegal, and the feds had every justification to get a warrant for is communications. This wasn't carte blanch monitoring, this was targeted data collection.
It's an implementation issue, but it is far from simple.
The regular 9 to 5 is what some people want. And that's fine. They get their satisfaction in ways we may not -- (stereotypes coming).. a kid to play with, buddies at the bar, plunking a guitar, reading John MacDonald.

This is not necessarily even a lack of ambition -- we're all allowed to aspire to whatever lifestyle we think will suit us best.

You can't say one way is better without describing what better looks like -- and when we have different descriptions of that, the best thing to do is just tink your drinks together and keep your "How can he live like that?!" to yourself.
When will Samsung already invalidate those patents for good? They have prior art.
No, I am annoyed about any situations where people criticize something for being "academic" or decry people as living in an "ivory tower". This sentiment takes many forms and is certainly not limited to programming languages!
Of course, but they divided the patients into two groups: Mild/moderate and severe clinical phenotypes. It's not optimal, but it is far from subdividing into 20 classes or making up arbitrary classifiers until you got the number you were looking for. The clinical phenotypes were already established prior to the analysis.
Clickbait aside, the perks are just getting out of hand in the Valley. In the past, NY was seen as a bad place for a tech start up because it was very expensive to outbid the banks for engineering talent. Since 2008, this is less so the case, but I'd still think twice about trying to poach a coder from a Hedge Fund. What had been said for NY, now seems to have good relavence for the Valley. The big shops just pay so much in salary and give so much in perks, it's becoming very hard to recruit talent to the low wage/hi risk jobs that start-ups offer.

So where does that leave us? Where's the best place to start a biz these days with most compelling combination of easy access to both talent and funding?
Wow, super trenchant analysis. They don't even know if it was Mossad, but glad you could chime in. And nice job ignoring the regional context. Because you know, who keeps Hezbollah afloat in Lebanon, and is helping to destabilize their northern (Syria vis a vis the Revolutionary Guard helping out Hezbollah fighters aligned with the Assad govt) and southern (Egypt vis a via aid for the Muslim brotherhood) borders?

I don't think "tumbles" accurately describes "declines to the price it was two weeks ago", particularly since no one used the word "skyrockets" for the last two weeks' rise (it didn't), or some similarly exciting terminology.

There is no "starting over" when renting, it's just a cost of living. Plus, equity only matters if you sell, in which case you have the same kind of uprooting as a renter, only maybe (maybe) with some profit to show for your time in the previous residence.
This is asinine. You ask your friends to help you move, and they happily agree -- they're your friends, right? So they come over, they help you move for 5 or 6 hours. Once it's completed, you get some beer and pizza for everyone. The nominal value of those items is what, $5-6 per person? Holy crap, you just told your friend that their time is only worth $1/hr!

Yahoo didn't agree to give you money, didn't hire you to test, and didn't even say "hey, can you take a look at this?". It's completely irrational to then say that a gift that they provided you is an insult. In fact, I'll go further: it reflects very poorly on your own character, and not theirs.
> If the "social-minded" European person was the majority, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

If the social-minded person wasn't the majority, they wouldn't have elected a government that would pass such a law.

It's a co-ordination problem: if one person does X, nothing much happens, but if everyone does X, it makes a difference. So each person, thinking as an individual, can rationally say, "It doesn't make sense for me to do X", but the same person can also rationally say "it does make sense for everyone to do X".
Nationally, they seem to have their heads and hearts in the wrong place often, but at the local level some of the best people I've every met were involved in scouting and I'm very happy for the time I was in the program.

And yeah, Hacker Scouts is probably going to have to change their name. I'm not really sold one way or another on it, but from what I can tell you can blame congress in the early 1900s for giving scouting some pretty broad rights/privileges.

I'm not sure you've followed the thread. The previous poster claimed the sample size is sufficient:

> Statistically, there have been fewer fatalities with Model S than the average for the number of miles driven

Which of course it's not. But the general tone here of "move along nothing to see here" is transparently wishful thinking.

Of course a battery fire after hitting some road debris after only a dozen accidents is something to be concerned about. Maybe we don't know just how much yet but no one should be dismissing it offhandedly.
If this was about a crime and not a car, your attitude would be considered victim blaming.

I doubt the dealers are emphasizing that you are likely to have a problem with your expensive purchase.
I don't think they pulled it to force people to upgrade.. I suspect they pulled it because selling multiple versions would be confusing.

Getting my wife to use a password manager is tough enough - Having to explain why there are 14 variations in the store would just add to the burden.

How is that relevant to the linked article?
My point here is that a for-profit company shouldn't expect random people to do nice things for free. Sometimes they do and that's great. But they shouldn't expect it.

The post I was replying to comes from a "let's all help each other out" perspective, which I like and is the mode I want everybody to be in. But the last people who should be pushing that line are those who are making billions of dollars. Especially so when those people are the ones who led the first wave of commercializing the internet.

It comes across to me as something like, "Hey, let's all work together so I can line my pockets."
Maybe they can make a decent Android version one of these days. If they had a good Android version, I'd update to v4 for OSX in a heartbeat. I own an OSX license for v3, a Windows license for v3 (or whatever its at right now), and iOS licenses for iPad and iPhone - even though I don't have an iPhone or iPad anymore. I have a big investment in this program, but their slipshod Android version has me re-evaluating this investment.

Are there any good alternatives to 1Password? I need OSX, Windows, and Android versions, and it needs to work in Chrome and Safari. I'd also need synchronization between multiple machines/browsers. I'm not sure what I think of a web version like LastPass - my 1Password keychain is in my dropbox, so it's not like I have it locked-away and protected. But it still feels a bit odd to have my passwords in a single service like LastPass - for some reason I have more confidence in Dropbox's security than LastPass's.
I'm not jslieger, but I did read the parent article.

The nytimes essay does mention briefly the claim that women may be "happier" in "people" fields like medicine, but it presents this more in terms of the intrinsic rewards of the field.

I'm a PhD dropout myself, and I am a little bewildered that so many articles can lament the shortage of US Citizens or women in academic science research roles without at least considering the growing body of research that confirms that science is a risky and relatively poorly paid career path. If you'd like something less caustic than the greenspun article, try out the RAND study that concludes that the american aversion to science careers is rational and market based (just google "RAND scientist shortage").

As I mentioned in a previous comment, what I said above is in now way intended to suggest that there is no problem here. I can claim sour grapes, and I can advise others that those grapes are sour, but that doesn't justify discrimination. I do see a problem for women in science.

But those grapes really are pretty sour. It makes no sense to discuss the shortage of group X in science without acknowledging this. It's not the only thing to be discussed, and I'd agree it is not the only problem. But to leave it out is a glaring omission.
Some things are lies, some are unverifiable, and other things have been in place forever and were either known or easily guessable.

Since these are three disjoint classes of things, this is not self-contradictory.

The fact that it's by a guy who's an unreconstructed racist and thinks the US is inevitably headed for anarcho-capitalist dystopia (except that he doesn't think it's dystopian) certainly reinforces my initial opinion that it's nuts.

You're not eliminating your cost of rent, you're (maybe) lowering it. Whatever percentage of your housing costs go towards interest, property taxes, HOA fees, homeowner's insurance, mortgage insurance, etc. are not going towards equity. Especially early on in a mortgage, the vast majority of your housing expenses are not going towards equity. Your analysis is only correct late in a mortgage. Early in a mortgage it's entirely possible to be paying more in non-equity expenses than you would be if you were renting.
Why do you have to make it into something else? Just call it an assassination.
What this article describes is not micormanagement. It is more about company leaders imposing their will on the company's products.

From my experience, this is false:

"There is a natural limit to when micromanagement makes sense. Once a job, or a company, becomes too complex or too big, it becomes that much harder to gain the visibility and time you need to stay expert. This is a real danger zone for would-be micromanagers. You just don’t have enough time in the day, or energy in the belly, to keep up at the pace that is necessary. Either you embrace the principle of selective micromanagement, or you go down trying to do what cannot be done."

Of course there is no limit, just add another layer of management. They now micromanage their subordinates.

This is why there is a CTO, then a Software Director, then managers of different groups, and then technical leads. In my experience a completely flat structure doesn't last.

Promotions are necessary to maintain talent and ensure employees are held accountable.

My feeling is the majority of company success is from top down leadership and vision.

A company needs a vision and goals and the employees need to own a piece of that success or failure.

Snowden Family Lawyer Speaking tonight in SF
I'm not an expert on real estate, but some of what I've read suggests that your statement is an oversimplification, assuming you have a mortgage and are paying interest on it.

Since I'm annually paying around 3% of the market price of my apartment, and you're paying X% interest annually on your mortgage (minus tax breaks, but plus maintenance costs, etc.), there is some value of X at which I'm not really losing much money by renting, right?

1) The presence of non-savvy participants should encourage users, after all it means that there is money to be made! If the only users were insider traders, you'd be mad to join in.

2) Betfair had US election markets with hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake, and this is a site that blocks US users. So the interest and the money is there. (The legal/political problems in many countries are still a big hurdle though) Admittedly, the volumes are still peanuts compared to most sports markets...

3) Not really true. You win a bet if you get the result right, e.g. You predict the result of an event. You don't win by guessing the beliefs of others. Sure, you can trade in and out of a market as opinion changes, but you are still betting on a result and not an opinion.

There's a big difference between a prediction market and a decision market, which is what futarchy is. Mencius Moldbug expounded on this quite a while back in this post:

http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2010/02/pipe-sh...

I won't go into much detail (the post is worth reading), but his basic point (which I agree with) is that the reason a prediction market works (when it works) is that the only incentive governing people's bets is their beliefs about the expected probabilities of outcomes. But this can only work if the bets people make are themselves statistically independent of the outcomes, and in a decision market they obviously can't be, since people's bets determine the outcome. (In the post Moldbug gives an actual real-world example of a market which gets manipulated in exactly this way.)

This is pretty good. I wish there was a way to go directly to the comments on a post, but I don't know what UI would work for that.

A few other thoughts:

* Profile > Edit needs a cancel button. The only way to get out is to re-enter your username. Or maybe just make it go back to the old value if you enter blank.

* Long usernames tend to make the description line run off the screen and end with "...", which is a bit messy. Maybe a smarter truncation algorithm?

* Swiping left to right on a story seems to work inconsistently, but I'm not sure why.

* The comment view is just about perfect.
