Both this article and the book its describing seem to mistake
possible explanation for definitive or even probable explanation.

The article notes that the gender differences are smaller in less developed societies and the authors conjecture that actualization could be the cause. Sure. It could be. It could also be that less developed societies generally have less specialization and fewer members, and thus less hierarchical groups, meaning that women don't feel the need to conform to a social strata within their society.

All three explanations seem possible to me. Given this, I'm barely more informed than when I started. I'd have liked this piece to put in a little more sweat in actual verification and less hand-wavy brainstorming.

Nice build quality

I went through a similar process of looking for a sit-stand desk, scoffing at the price and deciding to build my own. Though my end result is a bit different: http://i.imgur.com/M2ZlkaM.jpg
The part of the article that really resonated was the comparison to current car companies. Is Tesla really worth the same as Porsche? Porsche has an amazingly strong brand, is the most profitable car company in the world, has 5 models, and a 80+ year tradition of building cars. Tesla has 1 model, is barely profitable, and only a few years of building cars. Saying that these car companies should have the same market valuation does seem a little silly when you compare them that way.

That all said, a stock's price is driven tremendously by its potential for growth, not necessarily the underlying cash flow. While Porsche may have the stronger cash flow, obviously Tesla has the stronger potential for growth.

The bubble will pop if/when their growth metrics start to show signs of slowing. If/When they start missing sales targets, the stock will crash, quickly.
Long run? Sure, but don't stress yourself about you have to write code. There are people write open source software for work (for example, docker, open stack) and you can't really compete with them.

You can try to write code in the long run. You can build new features and implement the feature for a few months...

Your mistake was not acknowledging that a kitchen play set is a great developmental tool for both girls and boys. Deciding that girls should avoid all things stereotypically for women is just as bad as deciding they should avoid all things stereotypically male.
I notice here a lot of people seem to use the keyboard more than the mouse. My experience is the opposite. I want to click once or twice, not type stuff in. If I wanted to type, I'd use a command line, not a GUI.

As for the touch screen thing, well, that's just it, isn't it? Its designed for a touch screen, not a K&M. But, sorry and all that, but Im happy with my current hardware and way of working. Am I now supposed to buy a 21inch touch screen, or mess up with fingers? Which is further away from my keyboard? Its not reasonable or practical. Let alone economic.

All MS have to do is split the product. Win8 for computers, Metro for tablets. But no. For some bizarre reason us desk top users are having life made hard for zero good reason.

> The thing to do is to study the past and note how these mad stocks pan out. Here is Apple and Netflix to give you a flavor:

This is confusing. The only thing I see on those graphs is that good companies recover even after relatively big failure. Even if you invested in Netflix at the last moment before the failure, you could still make a gain by waiting. Apple haven't recovered yet, but are going up... I definitely believe in Tesla recovering from short problems too.
Actually the few matriarchal societies that existed, women were more nurturing and risk averse, and this is why they "existed", patriarchal enemies could easily wipe the floor with them.

Also I remember seeing in the opening of a openly feminist franchise, a women describing a certain matriarchal society that exists in modern day (I forgot their name though :( but it is somewhere in backwater asian Russia), and I got curious and went to research and...

Actually, only the commoners of that society are matriarchal, nobles follow a more or less patriarchal system (men inherit form men, and women from women, most political power of the nobles are with the men though, but there is no formal rule against women having it too), and the nobles enforce matriarchy on the commoners (people do not remember anymore why they do it, but research suggests that the reason was to keep commoners tame and keep them from rebelling)
I've always liked the quote (I think by Keynes) who said that the market can stay illogical longer than you can stay liquid. In other words, you'd be wiped out before the stock crashed.
Not overvalued at all. Sure it's shot up a lot recently, and very well may fall some in the next year or two. But if you look at companies the right way, with a long-term perspective, you have a potential 50-bagger at current levels over the next 20 years. That's a phenomenal investment opportunity. The economy is changing, we will be shifting to clean tech, electric vehicles, automation and robotics. I'd put my money with Elon Musk and Tesla

Given the recent tendency for similarly potent drugs like the DOx class of psychedelic amphetamines to be falsely sold as LSD, I'm highly skeptical of an experiment whose supply comes from a random dealer online and doesn't seem to have been tested for identity or purity.
In the desktop version yes, but not in the mobile versions though. They are relying on native UI heavily.

Even though it's minimal on the desktop, the styling of the UI is still affected primarily by the GTK theme. On KDE I'm using oxygen-gtk to make Firefox look native.
I don't understand the "hard to read these articles and then see maybe 95% (99.5%?) of the commenters are men" bit.

These articles are typically published in rags like the Atlantic, which I would imagine have fairly equal gender-distributed commenters, or even skewing female. Or if you mean comments on HN, how do you know the genders of the people who are commenting? Not everyone mentions their gender in their comment / profile.
You are exempt from some aspects of the law but not the overall cost impact if you are under 50 employees.

My startup is still under 50 employees and the ACA has significantly increased our costs. We already offer generous healthcare benefits so the only thing that has changed is that we spend a lot more money under the new laws. The other option was to pass the steep cost hike on to the employees. This is not unique to my startup either.

For all the talk about how this law is supposedly great for startups, everyone I know has had the opposite experience in practice.
I mean on HN - to say how it feels: it's like being put on show in some glass box, being talked about like a rare specimen. It's just strange. I don't know if it's just me as I can't speak for other women.
Technical trading is not nonsense - Paul Tudor Jones and many others have made a lot of money from it.
With drugs like Ritalin there is a sweetspot. Some people (in the extreme case ADHD sufferers) have low levels of dopamine, and the drug can help them concentrate. Others already have high levels, and taking more hurts their study performance.

Under gwern's "temperature" theory, it seems the same should be true for this kind of LSD microdosing -- surely we should expect to see both people who benefit from additional creativity and people who already are creative enough?
As a diver in Seattle, this is the real reason. Cove 2 is where many new divers are taken for their initial certifications. That particular octopus has been a local diving attraction for a while, and was used by many groups to teach new divers how to observe underwater creatures without interfering with their habitat.

If you do a search for Alki GPO, from before the harvest, you can find that there were many divers who were able to get their underwater photography hobbies started with a picture of that GPO. This particular GPO was about as tame as any GPO that I've personally seen in the Puget Sound. This gave new divers a chance to take their time trying to get their cameras setup, as well as getting multiple pictures.
The State of our (energy) Storage
You're still ignoring the big elephant in the room:

Is Tesla worth more than Fiat, is it worth half of GM? In its current state, with its current sales, of course not.

But with its potential state, its reinvention of automobiles, is it?

That part is very, very hard to say. In a world where Tesla was the only real electric car player, sure, we know electric is the way forward. But their competitors aren't incompetent, and they aren't sitting still. We are seeing full-EV cars come out of every major car manufacturer, and they're improving rapidly.

We also know that the high end of the electric car market is just a test environment, the real battle will be fought in the "regular car" market. Not the Roadster, not the Model S, and not the new SUV. Tesla may have beaten everyone to the punch and built incredible luxury automobiles, but can it beat the incumbents when pricing pressure is very real, and very heavy?

I believe in electric cars, but I am very skeptical that Tesla will beat GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, and Hyundai in the low/mid-end.

I'm also skeptical that they can maintain their current lead when luxury automakers like BMW and Daimler want a slice of the pie.

Tesla surely has done a lot to dispel the negative connotations of electric cars, but where they go from here is anyone's guess. There is way too much uncertainty to IMO justify such an insane valuation.

Think about it this way: Apple was first to market with the iPhone, a device that dispelled many perceptions about smartphones being stupid, clunky, and only for businesspeople. It was beautiful, and it was a wild departure from anything seen up until that point - and most importantly, it was incredibly well executed. For a little while it looked like the iPhone was going to swallow the world.

And then Android showed up and completely ate the low and mid-end markets. Apple isn't dead by any means, and perceptually they are still the top dog in town, but anyone who bet on Apple assuming majority market share is now, well, wrong.

In Apple's case, the competitor sort of came out of nowhere - Android I don't think was a serious contender on anyone's radar initially. In Tesla's case, they are going up against very experienced, very wealthy, and very serious competitors - competitors who have in recent years demonstrated their ability to adapt to market conditions and turn themselves around. Anyone who still sees the big automakers are stodgy and unable to change should go look at what the Ford Motor Co has done recently.

Def. not high wages. As somebody pointed out above, the minimum wage in Brazil is about R$650 (about US$300). These high prices are caused by very high import taxes.
I would take it further and say the whole debate requires one to ignore the fundamental differences between male and female to even arrive at most of these discussions.

> A serious question: why is it an inherently good thing for reelection to be less assured?

Its a good thing for there to be meaningful choices in general election. Gerrymandering to maximize competitive districts is one way to acheive very minor improvements in this area (party-blind redistricting isn't likely to do much at all), at the cost of creating a small number of hypermajority districts.

Better ways to do it don't focus on redistricting, but focus on changing the election and nomination system so that:
1) There are more parties that are competitive than in FPTP, and
2) Competitive parties are incentivized to offer more candidates than they currently are for any given election (which, currently, is the seats they are likely to win, rounded up to the nearest whole number.)

STV, or a similar candidate-centered proportional system, in multimember districts for legislative elections is one way to do this, and supports both more viable parties and more candidates per party, and thus more viable choices in general elections. And, like any multimember district proportional system, it reduces the impact of reapportionment methods, so you don't have to worry about trying to control gerrymandering.

My son's incredible fascination with buses and cars arose with ZERO outside influence, starting when he was maybe 1 year old (he's 2 1/2 now). At the time I don't think he even owned any toy cars, but he would hear a bus driving by our house and shout "bus! bus!" ... it was one of his early high-usage words.

I'm not saying this is down to gender - he could have had the exact same reaction were he a girl - but I am saying this is a genetic predisposition evident in him. Nothing cultural about his love for cars.

Whether this (and other) inherent traits correlate with gender is a question whose answer I don't know. My only point is that culture is not everything - clearly genetics play a big role in what people are interested in.
"...and there we go" - exactly what I thought. lol.
Yeah, the study showing a correlation between a country's economic status and its gender differences is interesting, but all it really means is that economic factors might have an effect on gender equality IN ADDITION to cultural and biological factors. Besides her one caveat at the end of the article, the author seems to be making the case that this study implies that cultural factors are non-existent. I don't see how that makes any sense. One might also conclude from the study that in the absence of economic pressures, cultural forces have a much greater effect on gender inequality. Perhaps wealthy countries can spend more on luxuries like toy dolls and action figures that have a conditioning effect on young boys and girls?
Disclaimer: I have not been a customer of Airbnb at any time, and it has been a long time since I have traveled to New York City. As one member of the general public among many here, why should I (or anyone) sign a petition to ask for a law change to favor a particular for-profit business? What's the general public benefit of favoring one business rather than another in New York's pattern of regulation of short-term-stay businesses?

IsoHunt has been largely irrelevant in the US for the last several years since they started filtering US IPs[1] and even before then was a pretty poor selection of torrents with many displaying completely incorrect swarm data.

While I'm not personally bothered by this (from the point of view of someone who used IsoHunt) I do find this settlement quite annoying and Dodd to be completely abysmal as a person.

> When working with a team, everybody should be working on as close to the same codebase as possible, to prevent difficult merges later on.

I agree with this, but disagree that avoiding branching is a good way to do it. In my experience, the solution is more, smaller, feature-specific branches that get merged back to master quickly (within a couple of days if possible). If you need to maintain a long-running feature branch, it should frequently be rebased on top of master so that at any given point the likelihood of major conflicts is reduced.
I think an important piece of information that is missing from the experiment is the name of the vendor who he purchased the tabs from. For those with an interest in high-quality LSD, Silk Road was the place to go, and certain vendors were repeatedly tested, both laboratory-wise as well as via trip-tests.

(Let me take a moment and say RIP to SR; legitimate, multilayered good-faith efforts at harm-reduction were just dramatically reduced.)

But continuing, knowing the vendor, as well as his overall reputation, would add credence to the 100ug assumption.
I think that the article did a very good job of not tying the investment advice to some derisive comment about the company itself. It sounds like you believe the opposite?

I own a Model S, but I do not have a position on their stock. I was interested in doing so, but when it was feasible for me, I felt the stock was already much higher than it would be able to sustain for the long term.

Are you saying that you believe purchasing the stock at its current price would be a good long term position to take? I find it difficult to believe that the stock could stay at or above this value for the long term. I do believe it will climb significantly from whatever position it is at when the Model X and the G3 models come out, but I would be very surprised if it was still this high just before that happens.

It's not either or.

I don't know about Chef because I have never used it. I use Ansible, which can be used for much of the same things.

Obviously Docker itself is for managing containers. The Chef-life capabilities are the building, repoing of images, and config files that you use with Docker.

Once a container is running, then Docker's job is to keep the thing up rather than making changes to the existing container. That's where something like Ansible might come in. Anything else you might want to automate after the container is already running could be handled by Ansible. For example, maybe you want to force a DB backup on all your X containers, then you could run an Ansible playbook to do that. There isn't anything in Docker which would allow for that.

I like the flexibility of Ansible as a general tool, so I prefer to keep my server setup recipes in Ansible. Even if I don't have to use those recipes often because I only need to setup one base image for each need, I still like to have that Ansible playbook. I haven't tried all the new features of Docker yet though. I had a back off a bit a few months ago because I couldn't keep up with all the changes.

>If you create a games or commercial applications using UDK for sale or distribution to an end-user or client, or if you are providing services in connection with a UDK based game or application, the per-seat option does not apply. Instead the license terms for this arrangement are US$99 up-front, and a 0% royalty on you or your company’s first US$50,000 in UDK related revenue from all your UDK based games or commercial applications, and a 25% royalty on UDK related revenue from all your UDK based games or commercial applications above US$50,000. UDK related revenue includes, but is not limited to, monies earned from: sales, services, training, advertisements, sponsorships, endorsements, memberships, subscription fees, in-game transactions, rentals and pay-to-play. You or your company will only need one commercial license to cover all the UDK based games or commercial applications you develop.

>Here are some examples:

>A team creates a game with UDK that they intend to sell. After six months of development, they release the game through digital distribution and they earn US$60,000 in the first calendar quarter after release. Their use of UDK during development requires no fee. At some point prior to the UDK Applications’srelease they would to secure a royalty-bearing commercial UDK license with its US$99 license fee. After earning US$60,000, they would be required to pay Epic US$2,500 (US$0 on the first US$50,000 in revenue, and US$2,500 on the next US$10,000 in revenue). On subsequent revenue, they are required to pay the 25% royalty.

Current ecosystem has NPAPI that allows anybody to integrate them with any browser, including open-source ones (within limits of platforms supported by Flash/Silverlight).

EME/CDM deliberately doesn't have such API, and thanks to DMCA browser developers without a license and proprietary SDK for each CDM are not even allowed to use the CDMs.

e.g. with EME Hollywood can say that nobody can develop a browser that plays video on a TV and legally enforce that.
