> "Have sex or starve" can be seen as a breach of consent.

Most people in the developed world feel that "do X or starve" is not the right model and want their government to take care of that. This, however, is done via public assistance, not by tweaking rules for X1, X2, ..., Xn, ... ("have sex or starve" is wrong, but "clean toilets or starve" is OK, etc.).

A non-replication does not "tear down" a paper... It is not any kind of "attack", your attitude is one of the sources of the problem.

Edit:

When I did medical research I wished people would try to replicate my findings so I could see how consistent the results were and how well my model fit future data... In fact it was really annoying that it was unlikely anyone would ever try to do a direct replication.
I've seen this article referenced a few times now. It's worth noting that the standard deviation between is more pronounced in western countries and even then more geographically pronounced in eastern states like New York, West Virginia, Mississippi..etc, and less pronounced in western regions like Utah, Colorado, Oregon..etc. The differences are there, but the deviation is minimal if not negligible in many parts of the world.
I LOVE PyTorch for experimenting with dynamic deep neural nets (DNNs) -- that is, DNNs that can have different graphs for different input samples. I find it much, MUCH easier to create and tinker with dynamic DNNs using PyTorch than, say, TensorFlow Fold. PyTorch is great for R&D experimentation.

For example, here's how easy it is to construct a fully-connected neural net with a dynamically random number of recurrent hidden layers in PyTorch. Yes, it's a silly example, but it shows how easy it is to construct dynamic DNNs with PyTorch:

import random
import torch

class MySillyDNN(torch.nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_dim, hidden_dim, output_dim):
super(MySillyDNN, self).__init__()
self.input_layer = torch.nn.Linear(input_dim, hidden_dim)
self.hidden_layer = torch.nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim)
self.output_layer = torch.nn.Linear(hidden_dim, output_dim)

def forward(self, x, max_recurrences=3):
hidden_relu = self.input_layer(x).clamp(min=0)
for r in range(random.randint(0, max_recurrences)):
hidden_relu = self.hidden_layer(hidden_relu).clamp(min=0)
y_pred = self.output_layer(hidden_relu)
return y_pred

It would be a hassle to do something like this with other frameworks like TensorFlow or Theano, which require you to specify the computational graph (including conditionals, if any) before you can run the graph.

PyTorch's define-the-graph-by-running-it approach is sooo nice for quick-n'-dirty experimentation with dynamic graphs.

You can even create and tinker with dynamic graphs interactively on a Python REPL :-)
Thank you for articulating my exact thoughts.

I also feel maintaining the relationship is extremely important. We the people are instinctive beings and some of us have very curious character flaws. If we let things to entropy, no relationship can hope to survive. No exceptions.

As I shared in another comment in this sub-thread, I found that being honest (but not brutal; give your opinion and feelings openly but caring for the other person's feelings!) and never going to bed angry with each other have not only prevented the relationship from rotting away, but also improved it by a lot.

It has very little to do with the coursework, and everything to do with the social bonds formed in Ivy League. However,

I will point out, being a person that did my undergrad at Boston University but took my preferred computer science classes at Harvard, the Ivy League actually teaches! Their professors take a personal interest in their students success. I originally took a Harvard assembly language class because it was not offered at B.U., and that one class opened my eyes to their vast difference between Ivy League and non. I went on to take the majority of my core classes at Harvard night and summer schools, as the same classes at B.U. were foreign grad students with bad accents lecturing to the board. The Harvard classes were exhilarating and exciting, with my head filled with possibilities after every class. And that was practically every class I took there. At ivy League, the professors are self actualizing on their students, and that is HUGE.
yes we probably shouldn't remove our own water, we could take only up to the amount the earth has gained over the last 1m years (let's say) through meteor showers, but I think that would be low.

we could also start living in pods and tunnels on earth separate from the other animals, then we wouldn't need as much water and could spare some for when we do the same thing on mars.
The government didn't prop up a corrupt company as inevitable, it held up a company because many working-class human lives were tragically intertwined with its veracity.

I've had a failed relationship which lasted 8 years and I know the struggle and the bitterness.

The topic that you refer to is discussed frequently here and is a well worn path.

>In the end, some people might not like it, but more people will see it as a default/norm/baseline than in an opt-in society.

This is a supposition. I could suppose that (and I've certainly read this somewhere) actively giving to charity encourage people to give more; giving is like a skill, generosity is like a muscle, growing with practice. If giving is abstracted out to the state, if people think "I don't have to give to charity, my taxes give enough", people are deprived of that development. Who's supposition is more correct? I don't know, but it's not something that can be decided based on theory alone.

>Well, what if few, including the black votes, (say, 10% of the 80% whites + 20% of blacks, so 70 vs 30) wanted the blacks to be free?

>I would still justify such a law that goes again what the majority wants. Who gets to decide in general in such cases? That's a tricky question, but if it was up to my to decide, I'd decide in favor of that in that case.

The difference here is, if you have a society/governance structure that rejects the notion of using violence to enforce certain beliefs on others, there'd be no mechanism for keeping people in slavery. A society rejecting violence in the absolute sense would barely even support notions of property, yet alone slavery. The difference stems from the fact that neglect is a passive harm; if the person doing the neglect didn't exist, the neglectee wouldn't be in a better situation. If the man watching the downing man didn't exist, the drowning man isn't more likely to be saved. Violence is an active harm: if the person doing the violence didn't exist, the victim would be better off (at least from the victim's perspective); if the slaver didn't exist, the slave would be better off.

>Conversely, given so many people do seem to care about the welfare of the disabled, why wouldn't they express this through charity?

>Well, there's nothing stopping them to do so on top of state and structural assistance.

And people do give quite a lot. According to https://givingusa.org/giving-usa-2016/, Americans gave 373 billion in 2015. With a lower tax burden, people would have even more to give. https://media.nationalpriorities.org/uploads/discretionary_s... shows that in 2015, 54% of American government spending was military spending. Do you think if individuals had more choice over precisely how to spend that money, they'd put so much into the military?

> Honest question: is the goal really to have a 50/50 split

To answer honestly; anything other than a 50/50 split prompts questions as to the cause of that discrepancy, and whether that cause involves unfairness (that would hurt both the individual and the organisation).

There's a lot of evidence for bias in both hiring and performance evaluation, so it's not unreasonable to look for those things in fields where the gender or racial split is skewed.

> And why is positive discrimination justified?

Your question assumes that the status quo is a level playing field, which is demonstrably not the case.

Positive discrimination is NOT a great solution, because it can create resentment/mistrust among those who feel threatened and feel that the "bar" is being lowered (it isn't). However it's a solution that's easier to administer than increasing merit through bias reduction, which can be quite labour intensive.

[Edit: gender 'or racial' split]
Even if we accept what you say as true, it doesn't contradict the point. It is possible that even if trafficking to Germany increases, the global rate of trafficking decreases, which could be explained by a lot of people going to Germany instead of buying illegally locally. You show it concentrates the rate of buying and trafficking, but not that it increases on average. (I do understand that actually showing it increases on average would be extremely difficult given that it would require a continent level study.)
> And why is positive discrimination justified?

Who's suggesting positive discrimination? That would imply quotas or lowered standards, which are already deprecated approaches to the problem. Outreach and support are favored precisely because they're not zero-sum, and they're necessary because there are so many fingers on so many other scales. "Watch others discriminate and then do nothing" is not a solution.
Gender Differences: Agreeableness and Other Traits: The Science
No one should be forced to take any job they don't want. The premise that it's ok to force anyone to take any job or lose their unemployment benefit is incredibly damaging to society. The whole system is a shambles. I would consider myself quite left oriented and I feel Europe has it all wrong. We really love to take the nanny state route rather than empowering people through education, opportunity and self-actualisation. Unfortunately this point of view seems to fall completely outside of the Overton window at the moment.
Does this really need explaining? He lists certain traits he thinks are distinct to men and women. Clearly, "ability to handle stress" is important for every job. Measuring someone's stress and perceiving your own stress are highly subjective, as is the definition of success. The manifesto author acts like these things are all objectively observable, but they're not.

If you want a data-based analysis on which we can all probably agree, look at the success of Google. They've maintained these values over the years with the same founders and have found quite a bit of success.

I don't expect a giant terminal shell but I do expect the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and other open source parts of the Linux ecosystem such as systemd and X11/Wayland. The kernel itself isn't the only part of "desktop Linux" in the sense that many people refer to it in.
When I provide code for free I want to be treated with respect.
There's evidence that this is not always the case when working on the Linux Kernel.

Of course, when somebody introduces bugs, that's a problem and should be talked about.

Agreed. It's good if people discuss these specifics of their character before moving in to live together though. It helped me and my wife a lot.

She is less extroverted than me and sometimes she wants to be left alone for several hours. I grew to know her very well and she needn't even say a word -- I can recognize by her posture, facial expression and what she does currently that she is in the introspection mini-period, and I simply don't at all interact with her until she's done, at which point she comes to me and often times she says "thank you for knowing me and being considerate".

My original point was more along the lines of "always be very honest (in a thoughtful and sensitive way) with your spouse".

"The spirals are actually there" - the unbroken spiral is not there, and it is an illusion of one, not multiple. At least to me. I guess if you want to be particular, the circles are broken by the pixels on my monitor, but at 4k that isn't perceptible. I guess if one gets far enough away from the monitor that one can no longer resolve the space between the circles it could be said that the spiral is actually there.

I think you are right that at very low levels, the same sum of money becomes much less useful, but I think you are wrong about the level at which that happens.

A few years ago, I met a beggar at a bus stop, who said that the store across the street had a sleeping bag for 50% off until the end of the week, and he was hoping that he would be able to buy it for the winter. I didn't have much money on me myself (basically just the bus fare), but I gave him what I had and walked home instead. To him, those five-ish euros meant not freezing in his sleep, while to me, they only meant a bit of unplanned exercise.

If you have nothing at all, every little bit of money gives you access to some tangible improvement of your situation. But if you have much less than nothing, and every cent of additional income just serves to lower a gigantic debt, there isn't really much incentive to earn more when it makes no significant difference in the end. This is probably one of the reasons bankruptcy law allows discharging unpayable debts, because otherwise debtors might not be motivated to do something about the debts they could repay.

The point with cryptocurrencies is that it's a coin with two faces, the technical side and the speculative side, and most of the time one is not related with the other, and makes no sense for us technical guys because the tech is not related to the valuation.

BUT if you understand that there are two (non related) faces of the same "coin" (pun intended) , you can use your technical expertise to have an edge on the speculative side, why all the craziness with crypto? check out this stats:

Where in the world you can bet 1000$ and earn 1.000.000$ ? , Are all ponzi schemes? Definitely many are totally scams but many of them are here to stay as a part of the future.

Now do this exercise, pick a number from 1 to 100, done?, go to this link and check your crypto with the number you pick searching it by the first column.
https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20170101/

Write the coin the price on January 2017, now go to :
https://coinmarketcap.com/

And check If you had bought 1000$ at the first price how much did you win or lose today, you can answer this exercise if you want here!.

My point is, why not use our technical expertise to separate the wheat from the chaff?, understanding that you are playing on the speculative side with the help of your tech expertise the odds are in your favor.

Interesting visualization, but I don't understand it.

I went to Ede, Gelderland (where I live), and while the city itself is mostly blue, the Hoge Veluwe just NE of the city is suddenly yellow (or is it green? I'm color blind), indicating that it's ~45m above sea level. That can't be right, the Hoge Veluwe is on the same level as Ede. What am I misreading?

Edit: I think I understand what's happening: the land immediately east and north of Ede is forest, so I guess the increased elevation in the point cloud is trees.
