The shortness-bias is fairly culturally-universal, actually. And your point does little to refute that no one makes a big deal about this particular bias. (Not that I'm saying they shouldn't).
454.
by steveeq1 12y ago
Not always. Short people, for example, are biased against in job interviews and most people don't care.
455.
by steveeq1 12y ago
Agreed. I always find it baffling that people are deeply concerned about one type of bias, but not the other. Explanations, I find, are usually rationalized.

Good point. Whenever I read articles like this, I often wonder if we are over-optimizing for racial discrimination and under-optimizing for other other forms. Interestingly, the people who cry out the loudest for racial discrimination often

Correlation does not mean causation. Perhaps a lot of shift workers happen to be nurses and they work in an environment where it is more likely to contract cancer (from x-rays or whatever). I'm using this as an example. Also, I don&#x2

Silkroad 3.0 will probably be this: https://openbazaar.org/ Good luck in taking that down.

Well said, couldn't agree with you more. While reading this article I couldn't help but thinking "how much of this attitude is due to perception"?

You honestly believe that? After just reading an article regarding the plight of negative stereotypes? It always strikes me when someone can intellectually understand (and believe) a concept in one context, but not another. Would you feel i

This is called the "Take the First" heuristic. If you want to learn more about "fast and frugal" heuristics (which work surprisingly well in a lot of cases), read "Simple Heuristics that Make Us Smart". It expl

What window manager do you use?

by steveeq1 12y ago
Don't know if you use emacs, but I use org-mode on text files with Dropbox. Supports tags, calendaring, searching, etc.

Ok, as I am an emacs user, I somewhat see your point. But the counterpoint is that most hackers spend a good part of their day on text editors and ide's, so it's not unreasonable to spend some time learning it for greater producti

Why is this being downvoted? As an emacs user, I'm trying to figure out what's the advantage to using sublime.

by steveeq1 12y ago
it's easier to extend the editor with emacs-lisp than vimscript is the main advantage. But yes, vim isn't bad as a text editor either. I use both.
471.
by steveeq1 12y ago
I still don't get it. What's wrong with using a lisp as the underlying architecture? This should be an advantage.
472.
by steveeq1 12y ago
I read up on this editor a little bit, but the thing that gets me is: what's wrong with emacs? I don't see anything this editor does that emacs can't do.

What's wrong with emacs?

by steveeq1 12y ago
Yes, I agree. Suspension was appropriate. I wish the article had described the "much worse" behavior of the white children. It's important to communicate this to make the author's point.

2.5 days of lawyer time at $350/hr comes out to be $7000 a year which is a lot of money to most laborers. Even if the distribution of lawyer time is skewed, it's still a very high number.

localbitcoins.com or bitcoin-otc.com (irc). Buy peer to peer and then sell to your non-technical friends or friends of friends with a 5-10% markup. It is best to not look at it as a "problem" but rather as a entrepreneurial opport
