Should a woman living alone be free to refuse to rent her spare bedroom to men?

Please stop with home / lock / etc. metaphors. This is a very simple situation and there is no need to analogize. When you analogize to a separate situation like keyed locks or zeppelin airspace access rules you're attemptin

Dating from 1960 ("the systems are about 56 years old"), and especially given that the system in question is likely an IBM mainframe, Fortran would be my guess. Fortran can actually be surprisingly pleasant, at least as pleasant a

Unlike a policeman who shot someone, I would expect actual negative consequences would accrue to a CEO who routinely behaved like that in technical interviews, and that they would expect such negative consequences to accrue.

At this point it is appropriate to exercise skepticism towards claims of random acts of racial sadism that just happen to comport with popular "social justice" narratives. http://www.fakehatecrimes.org/reports

The only part that matters: "having more education does not necessarily increase people's productive capacity".

It's hilarious how the educational establishment tries to take well-known concepts with a rich psychological and psychometric history behind them, rebrand them, decide they're the Most Important Thing Ever for three years or so, a

High school is not particularly G-loaded, it rewards conscientiousness far more. That says more about how high school is set up (busywork, non-time-bounded effort signalling games via extracurriculars, rewarding reaching thresholds rather

Yes, there is. Elizabeth Warren, when she was an academic, did a fair amount of work indicating most of the marginal gain from the second earner goes to positional goods (like real estate in "good school districts" (ie areas with

Two-earner households, and a society that makes a two-earner household a prerequisite for a middle-class lifestyle, makes relocation inherently more difficult.

Usually there is a sort of assumed propagation of the insider's duty to keep the info private. Edge cases (my brother-in-law the VP of Ford has started drinking heavily and having panic attacks, so I short the stock) and further degre

"Insider Trading: But basically, if you know information that is private (“Company A is buying Company B”) then you are not allowed to make money on that information." I see this misconception all the time & I'm really su

"Raising awareness" is stupid. What are they supposed to do in response, and how much water would that save?

"Crap in the air" tends to precipitate. In Alaska, over either an ocean or an area in which no one lives.

"Backprop" isn't even close to something that would be a "CPU instruction", it's an entire class of algorithm. It's like saying "calculus" should be a CPU instruction. Matrix multiplication &am

I'm guessing that the performance / watt claims are heavily predicated on relatively low throughput, kind of similar to ARM vs Intel CPUs - particularly because they're only powering it & supplying bandwidth via what look

"General purpose" isn't that general, if you look at the actual operations they support and their threading model. It's already fairly optimized for these sorts of operations, and this amount of claimed headroom makes m

This is a bit of a mischaracterization. They ruled that the lower court decision didn't address the appropriate issue, not that the underlying claim was improper. It would be unsurprising for the 9th (the court the case was bounced ba

It's a conscientiousness filter (particularly the pre-hire, never again variety). Also, at one point (perhaps even still) there were regulations on federal contractors above a certain size promoting drug tests.

LendingClub isn't the counterparty; even if they went bankrupt there would be procedures to move the loans to a different servicer.

You can actually do it in either direction, going from the link function and reasoning back to the distribution it implies, or starting at the distribution and seeing what maximizes the likelihood. The "logistic regression" has be

Buying credit default swaps on US treasuries is like buying suntan lotion in anticipation of a nuclear attack. No counterparty can credibly insure such an event & the money you would make in a cash-up-front variant would be incredibly

"We need to be a hell of a lot more creative about how we solve this problem" I think that's incredibly unlikely. "Homelessness" is not a technical problem, it's a choice about desired tradeoffs. SF is squeam
