Re: Clang/LLVM vs GCC, you need to understand Stallman actually stands for Free Software and considers the aims of Open Source Software as misguided. Clang is not "more freely-licensed" according to the FSF's definition. Once you understand this, you'll see Stallman's position is quite consistent.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Genius definitely looks interesting.

First, really sorry if the comments still aren’t showing up. I really thought the doc would be working by now, but it isn’t.

The plan now is to wait a bit longer, and then tomorrow if there’s still no luck with Google Docs, I’m going to move the project to another service.

My gut is telling me to use medium.com for this. Medium won’t die under heavy lead, it’s well designed, and it also has some great commenting features.
Much of it has to do with the case she brought forward but it can't be seen in isolation. There is also the matter of her husband 'Buddy' Alfonse Fletcher who has his own history of taking past employers to court. Then there's the fact that he was committing fraud and a long list of securities violations and that his asset management company is now insolvent as a result of that.

The defendant attempted to bring fwd Pao's family financial situation as a motivating factor for her attempt to sue them.

This is kind of misleading. F# classes/records/unions cannot be given null values by default. Null only ever rears its ugly head when you're working with C#/VB.NET/C++CLI APIs.

In practice you catch these out at the boundaries and have nice clean null-free F# code.
Lincoln was president in the 19th century. Washington, Adams, etc, were the 18th century presidents.

And my money is on Washington and Jefferson spinning in their graves every time "national security" is used to squash a court case.
The size of the numbers is irrelevant. I personally would consider a world in which I had no mote of dust and someone else was tortured as a world with less utility than a world in which I had a mote of dust in my eye. I expect every single one of those 3||3 individuals to feel the same way. Therefore, there is no number of individuals that I would choose not to suffer the dust mote in preference to torturing someone.

The answer to the argument from circularity is obvious - there is a discontinuity. I can see the discontinuity in my own thinking, and you probably can too. I would accept a dust mote to save an individual from years of torture (and I think almost all reasonable people would), but I would not accept a dust mote to save two people from a dust mote. That may be unethical of me, since I would of course prefer the world that has fewer people with dust motes, but for me to expect the greater number of people to make the sacrifice, I must be prepared to make the sacrifice myself and it must be a sacrifice that I think all people should make. Exactly how much I think people should sacrifice for others is difficult to say, but there is a clear step change at some point.

When I configure a service that runs as SYSTEM user, I cannot perform administrative calls on that service. For example, a powershell script fails with "access denied" when it has an operation that requires admin rights. So I think, running as SYSTEM does not make you root all the time? Or am I missing something?
I hate to correct you, but this isn't correct (your 'downvoted' status might reflect this).

Canine / felines are carnivores (omnivores these days, but you get the gist) and their muscle structure / diets cause them to taste 'off' and be tough fleshwise. Not to mention that they're worth more as biological weapons / companions.

There are also more scientific reasons, for example:

There was a quick deterioration in the men's physical condition during this journey. Both men suffered dizziness; nausea; abdominal pain; irrationality; mucosal fissuring; skin, hair, and nail loss; and the yellowing of eyes and skin. Later Mawson noticed a dramatic change in his travelling companion. Mertz seemed to lose the will to move and wished only to remain in his sleeping bag. He began to deteriorate rapidly with diarrhoea and madness. On one occasion Mertz refused to believe he was suffering from frostbite and bit off the tip of his own little finger. This was soon followed by violent raging—Mawson had to sit on his companion's chest and hold down his arms to prevent him from damaging their tent. Mertz suffered further seizures before falling into a coma and dying on 8 January 1913.[8]

It was unknown at the time that Husky liver contains extremely high levels of vitamin A. It was also not known that such levels of vitamin A could cause liver damage to humans.[9] With six dogs between them (with a liver on average weighing 1 kg), it is thought that the pair ingested enough liver to bring on a condition known as Hypervitaminosis A. However, Mertz may have suffered more because he found the tough muscle tissue difficult to eat and therefore ate more of the liver than Mawson

It is highly likely that if those explorers had asked the original breeders of said animals, they'd have been told strongly that eating them was a bad idea.

>> I wonder if there are strategic reasons behind this - do the US and European countries fear a growing China and India and feel the need to compete, for example?

Well the US would be in a slow decline if not for immigration, so we're trying to get smart people to come here which both sustains us and deprives the others of talent. We also seem to like ambitious folks willing to work hard for less pay, so we maintain a very leaky southern border.

China is the only country I know actively trying to address population. The guy who invented RISUG is in India, but I haven't checked how that's going in a while.
Everyone has a personal tolerance for risk. If you are diversified, then you decrease the risks that you are exposed to - possibly below your personal risk tolerance. That allows you to use leverage to increase your risk back up to your tolerance, which also increased your expected return.

So yes, diversification (plus leverage) absolutely increases expected value, if you hold risk a constant.

I'd try it. I eat raw fish, urchins, rare eggs, rare-ish meat of mammals and fowl. Who knows? Who would know if I would like it better than me?

I've eaten whole insects including crickets and the flavor was whatever. The texture of the legs was like trying to eat the tail of a shrimp - impossible. I'll be interested to see what the processing is like as I'm not sure about the utility of a flour that includes fine grains of exoskeleton. Proteins turn into magical things during cooking and shells don't do quite as well. Flour hints at baking, but I don't think it would function nearly as well.

From the first link on google, the baking results look like it doesn't form anything that can trap air or steam, so dense and mushy seems likely.
That is talking about the water you use in your household. But that is a tiny faction of all water used in total. Industry and farming absolutely dwarf household consumption.

There are a number of questions on here about remote/non-US/non-SV startups, and whether there is any place in YC for these.

Based upon my experience in the 90s running a DFJ funded startup which was located in Florida, I completely understand why YC would not want to try to do startup advising non-locally. Some things are hard enough to explain or understand even when you are there in person.

That said, YC also has the HN community, which includes many non-local founders and potential founders. For many of these founders, the YC value proposition may not meet their needs. This might be because of YC requirements (3 months, $/equity ratio) or because of Silicon Valley issues (I hear the rent may be too high). Either way, YC has an audience of potential founders which its primary product is currently not addressing.

Although YC is not lacking for applications, there seems to also be a case of unmet demand here. Do you have any prospective plans which would interest the non-SV HNer? HN is a network that seems to have some value to those of us in the hinterland, but perhaps this network of people could offer value back to YC as more than just interlocutors?

What blather. Cyberspace is just a way for people to communicate--flesh and bone people who live and work in cities of concrete and steel, and are bound to each other by social compacts that encompass both the tangible and intangible. The subjects of cyberspace are "transactions" and "relationships" and "thoughts"--but those transactions overwhelmingly pertain to tangible things, those relationships are between physical people, and those thoughts are overwhelmingly about things that exist in the real world.

To the extent that the institutions of the corporeal world regulate cyberspace, they do so to protect real-world people. The abused child depicted in pornography, the artist who converted chemical fuel into a creative work, the consumer that purchased a physical product. Real-world harms don't become not-real simply because they are transacted through a digital medium.

Of course, to the extent that activities in Cyberspace cannot impinge on the real world, then institutions should not regulate, but that reduces simply to an argument for free speech.
I think of this concept as the 'cargo cult cofounder':

I'm not sure if it was already around, but the first time I heard the term "Free-range kids" was from Lenore Skenazy[1], who was called "America's worst mom" after she wrote an article about letting her son ride the subway by himself[2].

I remember thinking the issue would go away, that everyone would come to their senses soon and that people would realize it made no sense to worry about everything. Instead, I learned a new term: "helicopter parents"[3].

I think you're still missing the importance of the cofounder. It's to demonstrate that you are able to convince at least one single person to join you on the journey. Running a startup is basically one continuous stream of persuasion. Persuading customers. Persuading recruits. Persuading investors. Persuading employees. Persuading investors. Persuading the media. Etc. Etc. Building product, while fun, is easy (in most cases). Being able to persuade lots of people to row your boat in the direction you want is singularly difficult. Until you persuade that one person to join your pursuit, it's extremely difficult to think you have the skills of persuasion necessary to carry out the nearly impossible task of starting a startup.
The biggest reason is .NET and all of the nice tooling that come along for the ride. Profilers, remote debugging with breakpoints on other machines, recording program state over execution, cross compilation to phones for free, a rich ecosystem of libraries, etc.

There are other good reasons though. Modern day F# is (except for a very small number of type resolution foibles) 100% backwards compatible to the first release. This is a huge problem for Haskell in business. Also, Type Providers are totally awesome for scripting over structured data.

Oh man, I first learned about affiliate marketing at around 2005, but started seriously doing it in 2006. I made close to $50,000 a month for a good 2.5 years promoting various colon cleansing products. I considered myself lucky because this was actually the first product I chose to promote, and colon cleansing just was about to become "hot". I found out that ranking for terms like "X review" or "X coupon codes" were the money keywords.

In 2008, I then decided to create a coupon site (think RetailMeNot) and scale this thing, and promote all sorts of products by ranking for coupon keywords. I quit my job, but couldn't reproduce that success so turned it into a content farm.

In 2011-2012, I decided to create an online gamification calorie counter, thinking stupidly some big player would acquire it. After a year of muddling success, I just turned it into a glamarous, well designed affiliate site :(... which ironically turned the site into a profitable venture.

Now I'm building a very successful, profitable product in the SEO/content marketing industry. So in a way I'm building the shovel for the gold industry instead of digging for gold like I used to :)

Bothering to learn the historical significance of the monroe doctrine is a lot different than having to memorize what year the doctrine was issued.

It is similar to learning the why of multiplication rather than memorizing multiplication tables. If who know the why, you have a foundation laid for higher math. If you just memorize the results you lack the foundation. You sure can spit out results fast, but a computer can spit them out faster.

Same with dates and names for historical events. If you know what year the doctrine was issued, and who wrote it, there isn’t much knowledge that can be built on that. But if you understand the significance, but have no idea what year it was written or who wrote it, you can apply that knowledge to other situations.

I've had the opposite experience with my blog; as I've increased the amount of original research and writing in my posts, I've seen traffic steadily decline over roughly the same period.

The conventional wisdom with blogs has always been that the way to success is more frequent short posts rather than less frequent long ones, and that still seems to be the case. I don't really care much, since I don't run ads and my goal for my blog has never been to capture a large audience anyway, but more readers would always feel better than less.
That is indeed a common place where people disagree.

The basic reason it should follow is that not doing so makes you inconsistent and exploitable (e.g. pumping money out of people with the Allais paradox[1]). The fact that humans have preference reversals as you move uncertainties around while holding the expected outcome constant is definitely interesting. Intuitively, it feels really truly right to value things that way. Decision theoretically, it is not optimal. Thus disagreement.

Eventually we want to actually mechanize our value systems, for AI. That means nailing everything down in code, without appeal to common sense, and figuring out the consequences of that code. If an AI can change decisions when you vary uncertainties as expected outcomes are held constant, that can introduce failure cases like framing issues or infinite loops of switching back and forth between two outcomes. When writing the code you have to decide if those failures, and the resulting exploitability and inconsistency, are worse than not matching human intuitions in all cases.
