First of all, introverts are not "assholes" -- they're just different. About one quarter of the population are introverts but about half of all "gifted" people are introverts. Most introverts learn to cope in an extrovert world by becoming "actors" -- learning how to interact with extroverts -- but some do not.

Introverts have physically different brain organizations and may grasp for words at times. They tend to dislike self promotion -- they perceive it as fake, and also dislike having attention drawn to them. They generally think a lot and say very little. They tend to focus on details quite a bit.

Introversion isn't a single dimensional thing, it's a cluster of dozens of tendencies brought about by this alternate brain organization.

I think first and foremost - relax.

You are ignoring severity of misogyny, and instead referring to number of misogynists. Correct?

I'm saying, magazine (female or male) editors are by far not the worst, nor that common, among the TOTAL population of misogynists.

But by all means go and fight the "misogynist female magazine editor" fight... I'm sure it's worthy.

But lay off the ad hominem attacks, they just make you look like a jerk. (See what I did there ;) )

thursdayb, you're shadowbanned (which is a shame, because that was a good comment). Might email pg and see what's up. Your comment history looks benign to me.
...seriously? well, because women and men experience life very differently. being a woman is a lot more dangerous - you are simply too weak to defend yourself against most guys. so, you have to trust that they will treat you fairly before sleeping with them or starting a relationship, and if you're wrong, the consequences are terrible. men simply don't have to worry about consequences this severe - as a guy picking up girls, you never have to wonder if they will rape or abuse you.

remember that rape is still exceedingly common (1 in 3 women in the USA will be sexually abused at some point). women are just as sexual as guys, it's just much more dangerous (and socially unacceptable - slut-shaming, etc) for them to solicit sex. as for why anonymous dudes on the internet are so creepy, it's most likely a combination of the disinhibition anonymity gives you and the sexual deviance a boner gives you.

When you look at how easy it is to commit acts of terrorism, and how few acts of terrorism actually happen in this country, it becomes clear that the only reason for that is that there are very few motivated people.

Automatic weapons are extremely easy to come by in this country. Think of the havoc you could create just walking up to an airport security checkpoint at rush hour and opening fire. If you know a few like-minded individuals, then you could synchronize the attacks to happen simultaneously at, say, JFK, Dulles, Reagan, and LAX. The casualties would be immense, and the subsequent panic would be enormous.

There are about a million other possible scenarios you can cook up that take no more than a few semi-intelligent nutcases and a few thousand dollars. Of those million, the current system defends against perhaps ten.

Although, when you look at it objectively, those attacks do happen fairly frequently. Navy Yard, Sandy Hook, Aurora, and many more. But we don't call them "terrorism"... why? Only because it doesn't fit the overly-specific mold that "terrorism" consists of. If they were brown middle-easterners shooting up schools, we'd call it terrorism no problem, but since it's a white dude, we call it something else. And because of that, there is basically no anti-terrorism effort directed at these things, furthering the argument that such efforts are completely useless.

"But the ACLU has criticized the city for purchasing and employing technology, as well as an array of waterfront security cameras and unmanned aerial drones, without first holding public hearings and drafting policies on how to govern the devices."
"Driving is a privilege, not a right" is just something MADD made up to justify unusual penalties. You could just as well say "fire is a privilege, not a right" and claim that arsonists should be prohibited from heating their homes in the winter. As a policy it doesn't make any sense.
yes totally down with username reputation IF one chooses that path... i like HN setup for example, may not stick around on a site where there are totally anon comments. But that said, if people want it it should exist.

The reason I say leave Google is simply because if we don't support platforms that work along the lines we want them to, they may not exist. People despise Facebook's policies, yet they stay on it because "there's no other choice". So my point was that we kindof just need to nut up & stop using platforms that we feel don't respect our wishes. If I had some videos to post I'd prob put them on Vimeo. With video posting, it's not really an all-or-nothing situation like Facebook. It's a technical need, not a social network.
Thanks for your answer! I guess I am more alone than I thought during these days! I was going to provide a screenshot of a Wikipedia article on italic type, but I just learned that does work.

if prisons were by law NEVER private entities, and instead ALWAYS funded by and of the society from which the people interned were taken from, and that the cost of housing a person would not end with their life, would we be so quick to lock so many up forever?

unless that problem is unique to this specific individual, removing the person will not stop the problem manifest on another individual.

Overall, this is pretty bad advice IMO. Investing in individual stocks, even at the recommendation of a "professional" is a fools game. You will be hard pressed to find a "professional" who can routinely and repeatedly beat an index fund.

Also, "professionals" charge high expense ratios when compared to funds through Vanguard, Fidelity, etc. A lot of financial advisors stress the importance of expense ratio as one of the most important facets of your portfolio.

For the record, I invest in index funds through Vanguard with expense ratios ranging from .05% to .22%.

Seriously ? Do people not understand how Google works ?

I would agree for the most part with the exception of "At some point there will be a market crash and it will be a no-brainer to buy."

Timing the market is incredibly difficult. I'd just suggest setting up an automatic dollar cost averaging scheme into a fund mix of your choice and ignoring it from that point on. As long as you have a decent enough time horizon, you'll wind up well ahead.
"Downtown" London.

Which part would that be?

I don't mean to snark, that's not a meaningful phrase to this englishman with 10 years London living under his belt. I actually struggle with definitions of downtown or uptown, it's not something we would say. How do they apply to (for instance) NYC which I'm a little familiar with?

Good point about niche sites and the length of ownership. I've noticed that a number of starts on products like top rated power supplies goes down after a year an a half or so. While you might be getting a newly released power supply with 500 reviews averaging closer to 5 stars, after 2 years, you will notice that same product with 1600 reviews averaging at below 4 stars, because owners probably came back and updated their reviews.

It would be interesting to see a trend line of change in sentiment about a products over time, using existing data.
How about overt cesspool levels of racism and ignorance? I mean, come on. Have you been to YouTube before?
Part of it is purely game theoretic.

Once one person realizes it's a successful strategy to send more messages then their competition, their competition also has to send more messages. Arms race quickly ensues. And once you have such an arms race on one side, the other gender no longer has to even bother initiating conversations.

Why did the arms race tip towards men competing and women getting it easy? Probably cultural norms. But once the arms race got started, there was no putting it back in the bag.
Would also suggest putting some money into a taxable account with investments on top of the 401k/IRA since they can't be touched until you're ~60 (without penalty, at least).
I find it interesting that the current value of all mined Bitcoins is currently about $5.4B, per http://blockchain.info/charts/market-cap. (I've seen this value described as "one Nakamoto".)

And, the number of full peer nodes is about 130,000 – per the network scan done by http://getaddr.bitnodes.io/.

To an extent, the total value is an emergent property of all the nodes together. But for grins we could distribute the value over them equally, to discover each node's pro-rata contribution to the total value.

That number, $5.4B/130K, is $41,538/node.

So, fire up Bitcoin-QT! It's free open-source software that'll use about 15GB of your hard drive space (<$2) and suck up some fraction of your cycles. Even if your wallet is empty, your peer instance will be backing over $40K of Bitcoin market capitalization!

Of course Google is not that dumb. If you don't put quotes in then it will return results that have any of the terms. They do this because they are an advertising company and so it is better to have lots of SRPs returned than none.

What you are doing by not using quotes is dumb.
This advice should be adjusted given your age / risk tolerance. 1/3 in cash equivalents is a bit conservative for a 20 or 30 something, for example.
I think Google is trying to inflate its G+ numbers in order to seem competitive with Facebook, so its basically a dick-size contest with users getting caught in the middle.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. You still are conscious of your decisions when you walk into a bar and fire randomly. There is a reason its considered rape if you have sex with someone who is intoxicated; they can no longer provide consent. The no longer have the ability to reason for themselves.

Are we going to argue that you're a murder if you drink to excess while your keys are still in your pocket? Because that's when the decision was made, not when you get in your car drunk. At that point, its not you making the decision.

I just finished updating the code with an assembly version of a hot function (finding the leading "1" bit position) and updated the blog to reflect the improvements. In general I saw a 3-40% performance increase using the assembly version, which I borrowed from math/big/arith_*.s. The reason for the wide range is because it depended on the size of the delta integers being processed.

This effort by law enforcement to identify "bad actors" in society is similar in concept to the effort medical biologists to identify "bad" genes.

Oddly enough (or maybe not), both groups appear to have run into the same problem. In biology it was once thought that more "omics" (genomics, metabolomics, etc) would be better and lead to a better prediction of negative outcomes. Apparently, it is not, mostly, at least not yet.

It seems that for many important events (crime/cancer) a larger mass of untargeted data does not make determining causative effects much easier. Personal expertise in a particular disease area almost always trumps the most fervent of statisticians and "big data" biologists. I imagine it is similar for crimes (for example, the local police would know who is a trouble-maker, or a congressman would know which bankers are shady).

I don't think this will forever be the case, but for now, detection of pre-crime and pre-cancer are in the realms of fiction, at least in the majority of cases.
Donations and Tips.

I know this is a bit of a 'libertarian fantasy', but I think the constitution ought to be amended to contain something like the following:

1) No person shall be subject to any criminal penalty exceeding one year of incarceration or $300 in fines for any non violent offense relating solely to the possession, sales, distribution, manufacture, or purchase of an intoxicating substance.

2) The purpose of this article is to limit the scope of criminal penalties that may be applied to "non violent drug offenders". It's provisions shall be interpreted with such intent in mind.

3) This article applies to all jurisdictions with the Several States, the United States, and any territories or possessions thereof

4) Any forfeiture of assets resulting from the conviction of a "non violent drug crime" must be limited to:

a) The intoxicating substances constituting the "core element of the crime"

b) Any asset materially and predominantly used for the manufacture, production, and possession of such substances.

Provided that such seized assets do not also have reasonable, fundamental, predominant, and legally authorized uses. In such case any seizure must be subject to the provisions of "eminent domain".

5) Congress, or the states, acting within the provisions otherwise authorized by this constitution, may adopt measures to ensure assets actually used in the commission of a "non violent drug crime", when not seized in accordance with this constitution, are only used in accordance to lawfully authorized purchases.

Perth?

I must be missing something.

There is only 1 hackathon a year in Perth, compared to 2 or 3 per weekend in SV/SF.

It is a boring town unless you like the 3Bs: Beach, beer, and babes.

There is no culture here.

Sorry, opera theatres do not a cultural city made.

And the traffic jam is getting to be like Los Angeles.

Everything here (almost) is at least twice as expensive as SF.

The government is conservative.

> The goal of this idea is to encourage you to not attempt manslaughter with your vehicle, so if you were faced with life imprisonment perhaps you would think long and hard before you do it the third time.

This is the worst part of excessive penalties -- that people think they would actually be effective. Most defendants have absolutely no idea what the penalties are until after they've been charged with the crime, which makes any deterrent effect of increasing the penalties quite impossible.

Even if you ran some kind of expensive continuous education campaign (which naturally can't work for every category of crime because there are so many types with such complicated penalties that no one could keep track), you're assuming that people engage in planning. If people planned ahead then they would all have a ride home from the bar in the first place.
