I don't think so. The husband's resumé is dramatically more qualified that the author's. He has multiple startups/exits and was a FAANG engineer.

The author of this article cites as evidence of racism higher response to her husband's solicitations of VCs than her own. However, comparing their resumés, its pretty easy to see that this is unlikely to be attributable to racism. Hu

When I say signals, I don't necessarily mean traffic lights. Would traffic flow continuously from every entry point to the intersection in an "interleaved" manner (setting aside the complexifier that is pedestrian traffic)? O

In a completely autonomous intersection, do you still need stop/go signals, or could all lanes and directions move continuously?

Why? So this author wants to promote a newsletter. Is it so onerous to click an "X" that you would discredit the information in this article?

As a strategy for getting Dremio on the front page of HN and thus on the radar of a large group of tech people (i.e. Dremio's prospects), this is article is very clever. As a critique of Wikipedia, not so much.

Indeed I did read the thread. The author's employment agreement specified that the employee would submit to a process by which Google determines what of his side work it will claim copyright on. To claim that the employment agreement a

Ah, but your claim of parsimony just isn't. Assume that Renaissance has employed ~500 individuals over its existence, most of whom have become fabulously wealthy. You believe the simplest explanation is that none of those people woul

Nothing whatsoever. I believe the GP is just scratching their head in confusion as to why this is such a story, because, as you both point out, it shouldn't be. I suspect this story has such legs because it is about the media. There is
