Malice··on Kaiser nurses say AI, workplace surveillance are making their jobs, care worse
Population highly incentivized to denigrate new technology denigrates new technology. Film at 11.
Malice··on Continuous glucose monitoring on the Apple Watch
I went with https://www.nutrisense.io/

Was a fairly hassle free process. I never spoke to a doctor and use the device for the reasons you said. Just interested in the data.

Irregardless of your wishes, language evolves. Parts of the US use "on".
Malice··on How to be a Manager – A step-by-step guide to leading a team
It's a mantra that the military use. Train, train, train and fail in training because you can't fail in the real fight. If you read "can't fail" as "can't afford to fail" rather than "failure is an impossibility" you'll get the intent.

Malice··on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy could launch for the first time as soon as Feb 6
Roughly zero. It should launch in the first half of 2018 but it won't launch on Feb 6th.
Malice··on Older Adults' Forgetfulness Tied to Faulty Brain Rhythms in Sleep
The point might have been that with access to emojis (on other platforms) youngsters no longer use the oldschool emojis. Use of oldschool emojis strongly suggests oldschool poster :)

Malice··on Why Wikipedia cannot claim the earth is not flat
It would be cool to have that visually presented for controversial topics. Your observation never occurred to me before, good stuff :)

Based on your comments, I've realized that I do the thing you're talking about. I'm going to change my behaviour as a result. Thanks for posting this.

How did you get into it? I think something like that would be my dream job. Yeah, I'm not normal :)
Malice··on Why We Terminated Daily Stormer
> Holocaust denial is a pro-genocide ideology

Can you make this case more clearly? I get that it's anti-semitic (the lying point) but not how it's pro-genocide.

No. You only know whether you have it correct or incorrect.
Malice··on Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo
I had to read this a few times, but I think I get it now. The original manifesto author means that the "bar is lowered" for diverse candidates because they're scrutinized more carefully and fewer qualified candidates are eliminated? If you're good enough and diverse, you're more likely to be hired than if you're good enough and ... whatever the word for not-diverse is? The original author is not claiming that more unqualified diverse candidates are hired, just that it's easier to get hired if you're qualified and diverse?

If I've understood that correctly I really appreciate your effort in explaining it. Your comment should be higher so more people could see it :)

Also, if I understand you correctly, the phrase "lower the bar" might have gotten him fired for something he wasn't intending to say.

Malice··on About This Googler's Manifesto
Because of "significantly higher variance in male scores"
Malice··on About This Googler's Manifesto
> Could you point me to a quote taken in context that does that? I just reread the document and fail to see where the manifesto questions an individuals capacity of doing a tech job. I'm honestly trying but fail to see the offense.

I'd second this. I've read it a few times and can't see the problem. To be explicit, I'm not saying there is no problem, I'm asking for help to see it.

Malice··on SpaceX Is Now One of the World’s Most Valuable Privately Held Companies
Because you don't make the choices he made if you love money. You absolutely do not start a rocket company. "If you want to make a small fortune in the rocket business, start with a large fortune."

That being said, maybe we're looking at things differently. I'm sure he prefers having money than not having it, but the macro scale choices he's made imply he values other things more than his personal fortune.

What do you like about it?
Malice··on Ask HN: For those programming 10+ years, what do you wish you knew 4 years in?
Cool :)

I use Python for anything related to text processing or webscraping. I use Haxe for when I'm doing cross platform game programming. I use React for web UI / front end work. Erlang for distributed stuff. In each of those cases I've tried other tools and the ones I prefer now seem much more effective ...

I've never done anything in F#

Malice··on Ask HN: For those programming 10+ years, what do you wish you knew 4 years in?
* Functional is generally better but don't be crazy about it.

* Have tests but don't be crazy about it.

* Keep your development process as streamlined as possible.

* New languages generally aren't as hard as you might think and they might be the right tool.

* The right tool for the right job can make a huge difference.

Malice··on NASA's Peer-Reviewed EM Drive Paper Has Finally Been Published
The effects are small enough that there's some possibility that it's just measurement error. If you produce a drive that actually moves something in space, you have a real effect.
