I don't see this as a contradiction. The authors probably would include simulation and computerized solvers as "computerized problem solving". Such applied techniques are certainly welcomed in the field of economics. That said, they are not usually considered a theoretical approach. So, using them in a paper won't get you published if a journal is looking for a theoretical advance.

Discussing Amazon's business model is always an interesting topic. The first time I heard about that Amazon made no profit was from the news telling that they had to increase the free shipping criteria to be $35 instead of $25. Basically, they cannot afford to keep the $25 promise, which may lose some customers foreseeably.

Of course, Amazon does a lot of good and successful things, such as running such a huge ecommerce website to fulfill and meet so many customers needs, helping online business to sell, keeping their executives rich and making their employees job secure, including the stock holders happy, etc. And they are also investing into the technology side of the business and expanding into the cloud technology in early years. But how successful is it for AWS?

All of these cannot avoid an issue that their business model was going a wrong direction for many years to reach today's stage and further. So the article below shows that they are going to change their direction and stopping the effort to replace or shorten the supply chain by offering all kinds of services which exhaust their resources and lose focusing:

> Crystal Cox never really denied that the things she wrote were false and damaging; she merely claimed that she can't be held liable for anything she writes because she's a journalist.

Actually, she claimed that she can't be held liable because the alleged victims were public figures, and that the required standard of proof for defamation charges where the alleged victim is a public figure were not met.

> The appeals court decided that she does indeed qualify as a journalist in this case.

No, it, explicitly did not. It said that the test for libel against public figures articulated by the Supreme Court does not rest on a determination of whether the person accused of the defamation is a journalist or not, it depends on whether the subject of the claim is a public figure and the matter under discussion is one of public interest.

It's not about Cox getting some special journalistic privilege, its about the Ninth Circuit rejecting -- as every other circuit that has heard similar cases has rejected -- the idea that the Supreme Court rule on defamation of public figures is a special journalistic privilege at all.

The whole "journalist" misrepresentation is the institutional media pretending that the courts are simply (and implicitly unacceptably) adjusting the scope of a special privilege that belongs to the institutional media, rather than rejecting, again, the idea that the First Amendment creates special privileges that belong to the institutional media.

I've enjoyed watching the "arc" of GraphSketcher. I went to college with the original developer, who, upon being sufficiently annoyed with having to draw supply and demand curves by hand in Econ 101, wrote the code that eventually became OmniGraphSketcher. Classic itch-scratching if I've ever seen it.

Robin later managed to turn the program into his master's thesis, a conference paper that won "Best Paper" (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1518870), and an acquisition by the Omni Group, where he went on to develop the iPad version.

He later left Omni, which is part of the reason that they decided to discontinue and (later) open-source the product.

I'm look forward to seeing what people do with this code -- as well as what Robin might have up his sleeve next.

This thread made me want to cry..... this thread.....

The irony in this manipulative[1] use of language in a topic on sexism is outstanding.

Seriously, could you have tried any harder (to fan the flames)[2]?

Crying At Work, A Woman's Burden

There are few situations where crying is “acceptable.” The worst offenses, she found, are crying in a public meeting or because of work stress, like a looming deadline or coworker disagreement, because it is considered disruptive and weak. Crying in a private performance evaluation is also considered unprofessional and often manipulative.

The only exception to criticism is crying due to a personal loss like death or divorce, and even that has its limits. “If the crying is excessive–repeated or prolonged, rather than a single episode–it could be considered unstable or weak,”

My question to you is what were you thinking in this choice of language?
As a registrar, someone's suggested they can put domains on hold at no cost. Not sure if domain tasting is still a thing too.
In theory their ToS may cover something like this, but charging a customer for a recurring payment they did not agree too should be pretty clear cut. Additionally they did send a notification prior to the charge, but there is no prior authorization from the customer so that's shaky ground. IANAL etc, legal counsel could tell you if there is a case worth pressing. I only deal with this fun at work as a developer :)

Edit: This is pretty clearly not an "error" in the system, so their legal team (if there is one) must consider the billing valid in some way.

> I think the general assumption for women promoting these types of events is that while this statement may be true, it's not because of an inherent difference in women and men

I am not sure I agree with this either, but like in my parent post I don't have any real evidence - this is an exercise in handwaving :)

Kaitai's comments elsewhere on this page are how I think about it - what she says makes a lot of sense to me and is a great case for why these types of events should exist. Suppose I am in some sort of bucket that is underrepresented/discriminated against/etc. My thought process would be

* The problem I am facing is too big to be fixed in a reasonable amount of time/effort (e.g. years, maybe decades of social change)
* There are no experts who have solved the problem so I cannot get advice from them
* However, there are others like me who face the same problem and with whom I share common ground - maybe I can learn strategies from them and they can learn from me as well
If you're stuck with Apache 2.2.x (and thus no support for Elliptic Curve crypto), perhaps you should give TLS Interposer a try: https://netfuture.ch/tools/tls-interposer/ It adds ECDHE support without having to upgrade to Apache 2.4.x.
You do realize the language being employed in your examples is from the side arguing in favor of the gender segregation themed conference, not against it, right?
For users in a browser, use websockets for modern browsers, and long polling for older browsers (Socket.IO wraps up these solutions nicely)

Any time you distinguish a group based on gender by definition it's sexist, plain and simple. Is that bad? Arguably not (then again, some people would say it's an issue).

Once you start to give one group preferential treatment based on their gender, that's sexism. There's a difference between the -ist and the -ism, but it's an important one :)

This is not strictly true, position is based on a lot of factors.
Thanks for editing your profile. Anyway, you've put more thought and words in this one reply than you have in most of your recent ones in response to racial/gender/socioeconomic disparity. You've mocked the OP for crying (which was a "hilariously inaccurate personal attack" that's a joke now, apparently), and you've responded to my and others' comments with simple-minded quips.

I'd have kept your age a secret.
From what I understand, it's not so much about unity as it is preparing women who wish to be founders for the challenges they will meet specifically as a female in the tech industry.

Also, on a long enough timeline, ignoring differences between groups of people may equalize them if participation is high enough, but it can often help things along a lot if more energy is put into the side of the misrepresented. That's not to say this can't be overdone, there's a balance, but equality doesn't come from just sitting around not being sexist/racist/whatever. You often have to convince others that you are deserving of having a place at the table. Source: civil rights movement.

I happen to think women in tech are pretty under-represented, and having a conference that prepares them better for a male-dominated industry (as well as networking with other men and women alike) is a good thing.

> Studying antimatter is particularly cool, because at the face value it is one of the most efficient ways to store energy (Basically 100% of matter gets converted to energy).

In theory, a black hole is also a 100%-efficient converter of matter into energy, via the Hawking radiation. A microscopic BH might radiate very large amounts of Hawking radiation. The bonus is that, unlike antimatter, you can make (or at least fatten up) a BH directly from ordinary matter, without spending energy as a prior step (anti-matter is energy storage, a black hole is an energy source - if you're willing to spend some dirt as "fuel").

Of course, the problem of storage is just as bad, if not worse.

Seems like a sustainable permanent solution...
There is one small nugget in the article that demonstrates exactly why they failed:

"This final challenge—product market fit"

They invested a very large amount of money, and put the most important challenge at the very end.

"This final challenge" should never, ever, ever be the final challenge. Product-market fit should be the first challenge. Everything flows from matching the product to the market. The fact that they believed this was "the final challenge" shows that they were making decisions in the wrong way -- a way that brought them failure.

I only hope they consider profit/market fit BEFORE they spend more of their investors money.
Not necessarily "one of", they're not mutually exclusive
I don't think it happens any more. ICANN added a nonrefundable registration fee and "domain tasting" stopped being such a pervasive problem. This either solved what Net Sol was trying to protect users from, or removed the justification they were using (depending on how cynical you are).

Not sure I would ever recommend testing domain names on NetSol's WHOIS server though.
That's what happens when people hijack words that mean one thing and then use it to mean another; there's a transition period where confusion rules and people argue about definitions. Bitcoin is a fiat currency by the standard meaning of the word, but Bitcoin'ers don't use it that way, it's their fault for creating a new meaning in their community for the word. Fiat doesn't mean government backed, now it does to them, soon someone will add a new definition in a dictionary somewhere and the debate will rage for decades.
I've used this in the past. Useful tool.
I'll put some more work in those directions and send out some more resumes. Whichever way it goes, thanks for taking the time to give me some pointers.

From what I understand, the conference is not exclusive. Men can attend as well. It's really about meeting the challenges that female founders will face in the tech industry which, although I'm not a female, I would guess are a lot different than the challenges men face.

Some of the users have a G+ account as well which is linked to their name and those seem legit as well.

Makes me think of Meteor where changes to a document are reflected in the client immediately and then possibly rolled back if the the server-side equivalent change fails which typically would be very rare.
This is a feature from "JavaScript 1.7" (the versions after 1.5 are Firefox-only). There is a similar feature in ECMAScript 6, but the syntax is slightly different. I support both the Firefox-specific syntax and the current ECMAScript draft. (But yeah, if you try that expression without the Objective-C @ symbol in Firefox, it will actually work.)

"It takes a lot to decide that you should kill something rather than try to funnel more money into it without having an end-game set up."

Correct. But you may miss out one point: not every innovation or successful apps is able to meet this criteria. I believe as an online app, they've already stretch to its most, even received VC funding in the first place.

Apart from the planning for exit earlier, they are quite successful. Apps have very little room to be profitable due to the high competition. I was in a seminar when the presenter did a survey to count how many people have 5 apps installed: majority. How many people have 20 apps installed? 1. The funniest thing is the "1" said, I barely use my smart phone. Everybody was staring at him, why? He said I like to use computer. :(

I hadn't thought about black holes as an energy source. Cool idea. But where does the energy actually "come from"? With M/AM interactions, the M/AM is annihilated, which creates harvestable photons. Does the energy given off by a black hole come from the change in entropy from structured matter to unstructured Hawking radiation or something? It seems almost too easy if we can just feed any old matter into a black hole and get energy out...

I think I did that for homosexuals (as a random choice). I am not really convinced by it. So maybe I was more ready to associate negative things with gay people. But is that because I think those negative things about them, or because I have heard a lot about their struggles (the "negative things" were more like "troubled" or "depressed" and stuff like that iirc)? It's an interesting experiment, but I doubt it shows what many people would like to believe it shows (including it's creators).

Haven't taken the one about gender, though.
Sarcasm? It's almost certainly more sustainable than trying to run them out of town or put them in prison.
Well, I took it and it determined that I don't associate gender with science or liberal arts. It also felt extremely contrived, and felt as though it functions largely on cheap tricks, like building a clear pattern of a theme being presented on one side of the screen for a long while and then suddenly switching it to the other side. To be frank, it seemed like the purpose of it was to induce cognitive stress from trying to figure out where you're trying to click than to actually assess anything to do with gender. I'm aware that biases are doubtless a very hard phenomenon to study accurately, because they can't simply be compared to some arbitrary 'unbiased' standard, because no-one is unbiased, but this did nonetheless feel like it was more a test of motor skills than beliefs.

For what it's worth, I'd be interested in seeing something which accurately assesses personal biases, because it'd help one in determining where/if their reasoning might be being influenced by irrational factors.

And for trans people who don't conform to the gender binary, no option whatsoever: there's only "male" and "female" as an option. Now, I'm not asking for that crazy xe and xir stuff, but if you're going to go to a conference where their main claim to fame is being gender themed, you should be able to put down "other" or "prefer not to specify" (the latter of which may be preferred even by some people who are firmly on one end of the gender spectrum). One big problem I have with events that are either thematically or exclusively gender segregated is that all it really does is reinforce gender roles. You've got to pitch in with one camp or the other, so that the privilege checkers know how many points to assign you. I don't like it. My computer doesn't care what my gender is or isn't, or what's between my legs. That's actually one--of many--things that has drawn me to tech.

That said, these are all good questions.

This is the best article/explanation I've found to explain how currencies, which have no value in themselves (like paper dollar bills), have a "fundamental value" based on the trade volume and the rarity (read: lack of counterfeitability):

http://bitcoinsurvey.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/what-is-the-re...

The shocking truth is that almost nothing has an "intrinsic value". But things DO have "subjective values." The consensus of a lot of those, plus some rarity, shapes the "market value." Gold? It is shiny (whoop-de-frickin-doo) and it conducts electricity (and in that capacity can be replaced by many other metals) and it doesn't corrode easily. Its "value" is almost entirely subjective. Not much "intrinsic" about that, certainly not nearly enough to justify its $1200/oz market price.
