But this is something that can be measured and has less to do with the fact that the HRT happened after puberty.

You've already justified the four years you put in by doing much more than your share of the work to keep the company going this long. Nobody can fault an employee for leaving an abusive employer to pursue better opportunities.

Take a step back and realize that your self-worth is not based on the success of this company's product and this company is not your life or your family. With your skills and the experience you've gained from this job, you'll find a new job at a better-run company that will have a better chance of releasing a successful product.

Also, if you quit and they don't pay you every cent you've earned within the number of days required by law, you can file a wage-theft claim with your state's labor department - they're very serious about employers ripping off their employees and will file criminal charges if necessary. There's absolutely no reason why you should go broke because of this company's mismanagement.

Actually, yes, packet inspecting firewalls do. Hence the SSH over TLS, to make things stealthy.
Sadly, it's probably the lack of a us vs them tribalistic segment. Everyone loves to root for 'their' home sports team, and that other rival sports team sucks a lot, their bad guys.
Dang I agree with you. I actually think at this point the most important thing that YC has invested in is HN. There is no other forum that has a higher signal to noise.

YC has no interest to me as an incubator, but HN has changed the way I look at the world and is directly responsible for my newest venture. I am sure there are many others out there like me.
I often have to work behind "smoothwall". AFAIK, it only allows HTTP over port 80 and HTTPS on port 443 - any other protocol on any other port gets blocked, including other protocols over port 80/443.

To bypass this, I wrote a simple ruby script to tunnel TCP connections, while adding fake HTTP headers to get through the firewall.

I do deny that there are rising tensions. However, before I continue, I would like to highlight that those numbers are coming from a non-gov that have a pretty infamous record, as well as strong ties with Islam fundamentalism circles.

- Their definition of "hate-crime" is pretty blurry. For example, in 2007 a civil employee asked a muslim woman who was fully veiled to take off her niqab in order to verify her identity. This was considered a "hate crime". There is a plethora of similar stories.

- They do not disclose their methodology or data.

- They hold some seriously backward views on society. For example, they consider any feminist organization to be "islamophobic" de facto. There have been plenty of controversies raised by their leadership for being openly antisemite. Accusing the government "of favoring the jews".

If you read french, more at https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectif_contre_l%27islamopho..., there has been some very interesting analysis made by investigation journalist from Le Monde (left) as well.

=====

Now, even ignoring the fact that those numbers are almost certainly made up. I do not think you can really generalize that to the whole country. It is really confusing for an outsider, but refugees, educated muslims and muslims living in the suburbs are pretty much very distinct groups in the eyes of most people.

No one is pissed at someone for being a muslim, what generates anger and frustration are the ones who:
- commit crimes
- try to pull their religion on everyone else.

I would not say that France is openly against muslims. There isn't one muslim community. Plenty of people from north-african ancestry, who happen to have been raised by a muslim family are doing just fine. I have friends, lived in a nice neighborhood in Paris. I was invited by my neighbors, and so on.

I am now living in SF, it's a bit different although I haven't had any major issues. I got some stares from time to time, but it's probably because I walk funny.
We know, but Olbers didn't. He died in 1840.
The Olbers' paradox is from the 1800s, before we knew about the expansion of space. It's arguing against a static, infinitely old universe. As you point out, we now know that this isn't the case.
say, theoretically prices double, and you hear reports of uber drivers getting rate cuts.

How likely is this to engender feelings of brand loyalty in you.
With all due respect, but you have no idea what you're talking about. TJ would absolutely murder Ronda.

There's been plenty of discussion about this on Sherdog and /r/mma... and even some historical precedent. I recall seeing a video awhile back of a then female undefeated kickboxing champion vs a journeyman fighter and while the female fighter showed more speed and skill, the physical advantage made the fight extremely lopsided.
But how do they establish near or total monopoly? By taking control of government in the way that previous taxi monopolies did. First you extract permission to do what you want (or the ability to survive doing what you want), then you eliminate permission / ability for competitors.

This is the path for anything to become an apex predator, right? Then apex predators inevitably lose their edge and they get destroyed by a Minnesotan dentist or invading hordes or, or, or.

So the link is apt because if one can intelligently design a new species, it has a better chance of changing the environment to its own ends than one of many of an existing species adapted to the status quo.

I don't. I use POTS.

I'm not entirely against the idea of a cellphone, but they are rarely needed. In the past, I have used several traditional "dumb" cellphones. These days, I'm rarely that far from a POTS line. Even without the data-collection problems and cost differences, I prefer the quality of a waveguide to the intermittent reception problems of radio.

Wave is cool - I really wish it was more popular. I actually use XMPP+OTR for a lot of stuff, which used to be very interoperable. sigh

If I needed to be on-call, I would follow Dan Geer's lead and use a pager.
I still hug my son, he's 21. Wonder what people make of that, though he doesn't sit in my lap. (Though I could probably sit in his, he's easily a head taller than I am.)
I guess the best way to find alternative solutions is to write one and have people tell you there's other like it! I genuinely didn't know there were so many doing equivalent things.

I do think serve2d is considerably more flexible than Corkscrew, though, being able to tunnel anything over TLS if needed. Or other transports, if more are added. I also let you use the same ports for other things.
I've been enjoying this podcast, keep up the great work!

Question for David Byrne (rhetorical, of course, since he's unlikely to read HN):

I asked Apple Music to explain the calculation of
royalties for the trial period. They said they disclosed
that only to copyright owners (that is, the labels). I
have my own label and own the copyright on some of my
albums, but when I turned to my distributor, the
response was, “You can’t see the deal, but you could
have your lawyer call our lawyer and we might answer
some questions.”

At some point, you signed a contract with that distributor. (Why you need a "distributor" at all is an obvious question, but never mind that for now.) Why did you accept terms like these?
>> And the second is the huge export boosts from China in iron and steel. (alleged in the article to be below cost but there wasn't really any support for that argument.)

It's just a well known fact. The major iron and steel mills have 100K or so employees each. They receive billions of $ subsidies annually to save those people from unemployment and potential social unrest.
> it's just not interesting to watch a fight that lasts for 15 seconds and ends with submission by the armbar. Every time.

Three of her last four fights were KO or TKO. She can win with more than just the armbar.

That said, I think you're underestimating the amount of people that tune in on the potential to see her lose. Rousey's skill attracts a lot of fans, but her attitude and status have definitely attracted plenty who would love to watch her get beat, as well.
He does not see it wrong.

You are appealing to supply and demand as if it was an immutable law of the universe and not just an outcome of predatory human behaviour.

When demand outstrips supply, prices go up. He never suggested otherwise. But why do sellers raise the prices on necessities such as housing just because they can? It is because they are predatory assholes.
Doesn't this require the target's 13579 to be open? It's not really a port I have open so often
1. Streaming is comparable to radio plays, not record sales. Radio plays got royalties, but they were tiny as well.

2. Spotify has more tracks than subscribers. Essentially, it's the vast oversupply of artists in the modern age.
I think the number three comes from the three gifts which are explicitly listed in Luke: gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The author accepts as a given that religiosity correlates with better health. There are numerous studies that support this, after all. This is "received wisdom."

So I think this is a good time to point out that there's some new science on the subject. According to [1] which points you to [2], the above holds true only within societies where religiosity is the norm. The USA, being the most religious among prosperous Western countries, is not quite by coincidence the country where most such studies are conducted. In skimming one of many articles on the work of renowned expert Dr. Harold Koenig, I happened to note that one of the communities he sampled was in Texas.

The picture becomes different, apparently, when you consider countries or regions where "God" is not a household word. There, this effect isn't observed. The author of [2], published just this month, concludes that "the health and longevity benefits of religiosity are restricted to highly religious regions."

So sure, people who go with the flow are less likely to be stressed, more likely to be happy and healthy. But this seems to be a benefit of social conformity, not religion.

If you're just an employee, it's management's responsibility, not yours, to make sure the company can survive your leaving.

You shouldn't feel guilty about quitting, since they'd fire you in a minute without any warning if it was convenient for them.

How can they be fucking people over if they aren't profitable? Don't you have to get laid to be fucking and make money to be profitable?

OHHH! Or is it that they are fucking people over, and getting fucked, but being profitable is like fucking AND creating progeny and so far Uber is infertile? Yeah, I guess that makes sense. They're fucking people over but no babies yet. It checks out.
I've always felt that calling online forums "communities" was wishful thinking on the part of forum participants looking for a sense of belonging. Hacker News and nerdfighters, to use examples you posted, never felt like communities to me, just people coming together to talk about things they all liked, organizing around hobbies and interests. A group of friends does not make a community.

I think physical proximity is an absolute requirement for a community. Students in college inevitably form communities. They come together to help each other. Online forums like reddit more often drive people apart than join people together.
>>Not disagreeing with you at all, but I just want to throw in the caveat that at least in the more mental games, we have no idea how the competitive landscape would look if we had a culture that encouraged as many girls to put as much into competition as we do boys.

Well, we don't but attendance rate are already taken into account. There might be other cultural problems though like being in a minority being difficult or more likely girls just doing worse in competitive social environments which are typical for sports.

One can even argue that girls already have advantage in selection: assuming equal talent distribution in boys and girls populations and assuming most talented children from both make it to the competitive chess, the girls should do better (because less of them are selected and therefore more talented ones on average).

If anything it's likely that once selected (that is starting to play competitively) the environment is less welcoming to girls. On the other hand girls get more opportunities than boys (dues to women only tournaments, titles, world championship).

While I think the hypothesis that environment is less welcoming and thus inhibit development of women players I have trouble seeing how this can be tested.
Analyse Asia 49: The Shortest Interview with Jenny Lee from GGV Capital
In this episode recorded during the RISE Conference, we got the shortest interview in our podcast history with Jenny Lee from GGV Capital. In this episode, Jenny Lee discussed how she started in venture capital and offered her perspectives on start-up investments from US to China, from how both cultures differ from management styles to innovation, and what her investment thesis is as it evolved across the different times from the PC to mobile era and now the new internet of things world.
That's an interesting perspective, but I'm not sure how well such ad-hoc communities can deal with important life events.

For example, if a loved one dies, will your book club friends help you organize the funeral (or even attend)? If you can't rely on them in cases like that, it's not really the kind of community the OP is talking about.
Thought experiment.

SF and NYC are "desirable" places to live. People want to be there. The world is more "globalized" than ever now.

How does supply and demand cope when 6 million to 60 million superhumanly rich people (from all over the world!) want the same thing a non-superhumanly rich person also wants?

It's the exact same "superhuman AI will take all our jobs" reasoning, except in this case we have actual humans with access to vastly more wealth than any average person can accumulate.

On a long enough time scale, the market may win and only $100 millionaires and billionaires will live in SF and NYC. But for now, the non-independently-wealthy (those poor suckers who need a 'job' to live) end up paying $5,000 per month for a one bedroom apartment. That means you need to make over $200k per year just to be independent. In reality, you should be making $450k per year to live "nicely." (In actual reality, if you are a programmer who can create value with your mind your skills are easily worth over $3 million per year).

Regulation could give us options like: no non-resident foreign nationals may purchase property here. nobody may purchase more than one housing unit within the city limits. no one person may be the landlord of more than 3 housing units (or else you have "the rich get richer" where one guy uses rent income to buy more buildings to get more rent income—soon, one guy has 60 buildings being milked for rent). nobody may purchase units for money laundering purposes. hell, throw in a morality clause and say if you are convicted of a crime you lose your multi-million-dollar condo as well (hi, wall street frauds).

Regulate the heck outta the housing market because fixed assets can't be efficiently allocated in the face of supernormal resources unless you consider "the rich deserve more than people with full time jobs" to be a proper way of allocating physical pieces of the planet earth.
Is there an explanation for this somewhere?
I think it's easy to read as just plain homoeroticism - the book's laden with it, esp. in subtext, though sometimes explicitly. You'd have to consciously work to not see talking about the delight of men pressing into other men while fondling sperm otherwise. When he's talking about gaining pleasure from a man's thighs while in bed with him (a bed that previously was described as a marriage bed) it's also really hard to read in any other sense. "Queequeg's arm thrown over me in the most loving and affectionate manner... You had almost thought I had been his wife," and "hugging a fellow male in that matrimonial sort of style." Or, "there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other . ... thus, then, in our hearts' honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg - a cosy, loving pair."

While Moby Dick was slightly more subtle, Billy Budd and Melville's letters to Hawthorne and are even more heavily loaded with homoeroticism than Moby Dick. Homosexuality isn't a new thing.
Isn't this one explained by the speed of light?

Only a finite number of stars have had enough time to reach the earth. So there can only be a finite number of concentric shells.

> only that 'const' in C-family languages has significant drawbacks

AFAIK this is pretty much limited to C and C++. Many (and I am willing to venture most, or at least the most-used) C-family languages that aren't C/C++ don't suffer this issue. Go and Javascript, for example, both use "const" in a way that doesn't modify the type of the underlying object.

Every important Usenet server that people used in the US carried binaries. By way of example: you had to, to be ranked. I believe that Germany may have had different dynamics from those of the US, but I do not believe that there was a more important cause of the death of Usenet in the US than binaries.

I think I like web message boards more than Usenet too, but they're only now coming into their own.
In SF, the majority of voters are already renters. Something like %70. But the people who live there are oddly irrational and think building will somehow raise the rent because it would be all 'luxury' apartments, and thus 'raise' the price. And these are the "perma renters" who have been forced out or closed to forced out due to their lower incomes.

The renter political majority are the people who got laws such as rent control in. And the other very landlord unfriendly laws that make ~ %30 of residential rental stock unoccupied in SF due to fears of bad renters costing far more than their income. Also their are other laws that let petty NIMBYs prevent neighbors building stuff in their empty lots, so they can extract concessions out of them, or just avoid the personal inconvenience of construction during working hours. A good chunk of people in SF are unemployed / not in the labor force. Something around %30. 'Tech workers' are a very small minority of the population, but are the new immigrants aggravating the supply problems.

Then you have old money in SF organizing political groups to block building on the water front so their waterfront condo views will not be block and so on.

The multiple competing interests in SF lead to the general regulatory failure there of not building nearly enough. SF has always been a city with it's head far up it's ass, it was very bad in other ways in the 70s too, with similar 'renter friendly' laws causing more problems than solutions.
What about final for Java function parameters? A professor was requiring that and I'm not sure whether its something I should continue doing or not.
Since "like" counters are public they are often become a form of competition or a way to boost self-esteem which is a very extrovert style of socialization. Though I'm not sure what introvert-style socializing should be. I guess it should include mostly small groups (circles?) because introverts usually don't large social groups. Also a different approach to "friending".
I'm really not convinced by the passages, both in Wikipedia and in the referenced book, concerning the role of the finite age of stars.

From what I remember from Coles-Lucchin, the finite age of stars does furnish a partial explanation: keeping the average density of lit stars the universe constant, does not solve the problem, since in general, when I look in a particular direction, any star in that direction will either be dead or lit, but still too far away for its light to have reached me.

Indeed the opposite would require fine-tuning the stars ignition time so that there is sphere of burning stars at the right distance.
I'm sad to say it, but that was my initial thought as well. In fact, it calls to mind the Mooninite Bomb Scare [1].

I am saying women do way worse on average. Judith Polgar did well but was nowhere close to be say world championship contender and she received more training as a child than about any man in history at that time. Judith was also the only Polgar sister who reach world class strength.
These days Hou Yifan is close to world class strength and it can be argued that her level of play suffered because of politics (it's important for China that she plays in women team and playing vs weak competition isn't the best for the development). Maybe she had top 10 potential as well.

It's definitely less disadvantage in chess than it is in MMA but it seems the effect is still there.

*(const char * + char *) The type of int i is converted to 'char *' and multiplied by sizeof(char)

I am pretty certain this explanation does not make any sense: what is really happening here is that the int, for purposes of the addition, is measuring units sizeof the object being pointed to; there is no meaning I know of to adding two pointers.

/* This works because "Hello"[5] == 5["Hello"].*/

At this point, you could really just say the following:
