This is a really tone-deaf argument that doesn't recognize the context that modern colleges exist in. Consider that most classes that freshmen and sophomores attend are either taught solely by TAs, lecturers, or other non-professors, o

You're asking questions that could be answered with 10 seconds of Google use and you're being kind of impolite about it. That doesn't seem like a good strategy to engage with someone usefully.

Now you're being amazingly reductive to win a rhetorical point. HN drives a conversation. You are choosing to change the parameters of that conversation. You are making a political choice.

This is amazingly naive. "We apply them less rather than more in cases where YC itself or a YC startup is at issue." You realize, of course, that YC, PG, and SA all drive the tech zeitgeist to some extent or another. News that aff

I probably won't use an analytics product made by a company who immediately runs into a trademark suit because they're not familiar with one of the preeminent analytics solutions on the market.

This is a bad faith (and/or woefully ignorant) argument about this code of conduct. Remarking that "reverse racism" is not harassment does not preclude minorities from being harassers. It does mean that having (for example) a

I laughed out loud when I saw that formula--y = loglogloglog x is a nonsense function. For those of you who haven't thought about logs for a while, that function is increasing (bigger x give bigger y), but it grows so slowly that y won

This is Unruly from Simon Tatham's puzzle collection: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ I install this on literally every device I own. Windows machines, linux machines, android machines. I

> I presume it would be easier for him to decline the job than if he were an employee of a service with contracts and reputations. Do you have any reason to believe that outside of a need to avoid cognitive dissonance? I ask because it

Yeah, all this analysis (both what we've done and in the original article) are facile--a proper Bayesian treatment would have continuous priors/posteriors that would be a little more informative than an either-or. The problem you&

As B -> \infty, also t -> \infty. I'm reminded of the Fight Club quote: On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero. :)

Let's go back to step II: Imagine that the coin that we're flipping isn't fair, and comes up heads with prior probability p. Further, suppose that the ratio between the small population and the large population is R (in the a

Your link is not particularly believable considering that their last point is "Improve Your Blood Viscosity by Grounding Yourself to the Earth". You'll forgive me if I just completely discount everything on that website.

A more sane* way to implement the single lookup behavior is: def values_in(keys, d): ret = {} for key in keys: try: ret[key] = d[key] except KeyError: pass return ret
