> I think I'm pretty much done with the Left at this point. I find this rejection of basic scientific inquiry to be really strange and dangerous.

That's funny. I can totally see the same kind of comment in a thread about other topics that are unpopular in the Right.

Perhaps there is a pattern here.
That's kind of an "us vs them" statement. Tribalism in any camp is counterproductive.
Why does it need to be in the steam? Both the steam and the water are at 121C and water is a lot more effective at heat transfer.

>I think the article slightly overstates the learned aspect of emotions in that there are some emotions that are hard wired in various ways (that even babies express in similar ways)

My understanding, as from Ekman, is that there are stereotypes expressions of a number of basic emotions, but that these get covered over and replaced for various reasons as children grow up.
>>But Canonical's lawyers are not canonical.

Hmm... not sure what you meant by this statement ?
XFS is the de facto standard file system for RHEL deployments, they employ a lot of engineers familiar with the code and it's the default since RHEL7 came out.
$404 is not high though. Even $600 in total (after filing fees, taxes) is not high.

Just compare it to non-anonymous LLCs, with or without registered agents, and definitely without law firms or CPAs. You are still looking at least at $100. Registered agents charge an extra $100, and the ones that advertise $25 are lying.

You won't get out of California, Delaware or New York that low at all.

New York forces you to publish the existence of your New York LLC in two newspapers in your county, just to make SURE its not anonymous (in the year 1915). So if you live in New York City you are looking at spending $1,600. California is around $800.

So you are accurate that you can do this yourself, at the same prices I pointed out, but there are several gotchas.
Are the dead cells you're carrying around like your hair "you?" What about food? At what point exactly in the digestion process does it cease to be something else and become part of "you?" Is your urine and fecal matter that's still within your body "you?" How about the oxygen in your blood? Is that you? Saliva? How about tears? When to tears stop being you and become something else?
The one that was officially dropped? Google may be a lot of things, but one can no longer throw that motto at them and call them hypocrites.
I believe it, although that makes me think they should have found a more dignified way to retire him than turn him into a pariah.
I have several LLCs that do not have bank accounts. Cryptocurrency all the way.

They pass through all costs and tax deductions straight to me if I wish, their name can be on any property if I wish, and my name is not on them in the state's public databases.

And thats not even with TRYING to be anonymous. If there was a subpoena and some regulator knew who I was, thats fine.

But I also know how to form them in a way where a subpoena would yield no information either.
There are very real evolutionary pressure on humans to be social and pliant and buy into the notion that society is a net good, whether it be a tribal one or a more modern version. Just think about it: the outliers get ostracized and more often than not don't pass on their genes to the next generation. Until very recently, we had extremely tribal behavior among human societies as well. So it makes sense that most people still naturally think its kinda outlandish to not want to be a part of society or take part in its rituals.

I can't express how glad I feel though, that I am living in an age and country where not being socially pliant isn't something that would get me killed. Where I can continue to live my life the way that I want to, rather than buy into social norms and regulations, many of which seem rather anachronistic.
>I personally believe a lot of this can be learned like any other skill. You just need to approach it differently and actively, not passively.

A good book on learning to understand your emotions is Focusing, by Eugene Gendlin.
I agree with you that having all cyclists wear helmets wouldn't strictly increase overall safety (maybe people will switch to driving...), but I think you're discounting the utility of helmets even where collisions with motorized vehicles isn't the primary risk.

Here are stats from the Netherlands [0]. Looks like there are about 9000 serious crashes each year that don't involve motor vehicles, with about 2500 cases annually of head/brain injury. That's actually a much higher rate than for crashes involving cars in the Netherlands, presumably because of the infrastructure and culture....

The argument really is based around what constitutes a derivative work. ZFS does not depend on Linux, OpenZFS which ZFS on Linux derives from is an Illumos project first and foremost - does modifying it to plug into the Linux VFS layer make it a derived work of the Linux kernel?

If this ever goes to court it will be an interesting case.
Would playing piano be harder if you had to make your own piano? If the level of playing expected of you remains unchanged then yes, certainly.

That to me sums up the difference. It is now vastly easier to write and run a program. But that doesn't tell the whole story. Programming careers realty do have a red queen race quality to them.

I really couldn't compare it to fields I haven't worked in. But I do think that programming certainly can reach hellacious levels of stress and complexity.
How much time before the eye adjusts?
Yeah you should only consider these services based on what you are trying to accomplish.

Think about it analogous to when you are choosing how anonymously you want to browse the internet:

Don't want your roommate seeing your browsing history? Okay then private browser.

Don't want your roommate seeing URLs you visit by monitoring the router? Okay then TOR.

Don't want a three letter agency running an exploit over TOR that reveals your clearnet IP address? Okay then use Whonix or Tails.

It is similar when deciding how anonymous you want your LLC or surrogate entity structure.
The page you linked gives the proportion 1/100. Is there something I'm missing?
I agree! People are very inconsistent. They change their beliefs, lie to people, are unsure about things, etc. A lot of sociologists would argue that this is a good reason to combine this kind of quantitative data with in-depth ethnographic observation of real behavior (e.g. https://shamuskhan.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/talk-is-cheap...). When we want to see how someone's opinion actually plays out in a real situation, that's usually our best tool.

Also, a lot of survey data captures demographic characteristics, not just individual beliefs-- think censuses. Surveys are generally considered a robust instrument for measuring things (like income, occupation, gender) that are relatively fixed over time.
Do you have any peer reviewed citations for those claims? If this is as certain as you're assuming, it should be easy to point to the underlying mechanism and evolutionary underpinnings.
Makes me think of Hyde's HLA assembly:

EDIT to add: Regarding web applications, it's possible if not practical using an assembly, web server combined with CGI apps in assembly.

It is terrifying before but liberating after. So I was extremely afraid of sky diving but once I did it, that felt liberating.

Its easy to talk about re-framing our mindset, especially for things that frighten or embarrass us. Much harder to carry out. But I do agree its important to take action regardless... that seems to be the only thing that helps with it.
Eh... Rube Goldberg Machines are often celebrated as being of interesting design, and they are created with the expressed purpose of being overly complicated. There is room in the world for very clever engineering, very complicated engineering, very elegant engineering, and everything in between.
Actually, 46.1% of a 55.4% turnout. And yes, I'll dismiss anyone who voted for Trump for whatever reason that they voted for Trump.
These really don't work so well on Firefox Mobile, unfortunately. The work is beautiful and the project looks like something I'd love to use!
Cash based and cryptocurrency based businesses do not need a bank account and therefore don't need an EIN.

Similarly, title holding companies don't need one either.
Your first statement is correct but it's diverging away from my main point.

>Programming paradigms are useful at levels other than “entire program”, which is the reason many modern languages are multiparadigm.

Again I agree with this but your missing the point. To be a multiparadigm language the language needs to provide syntax for switching between muteability and immuteability. The original poster is not talking about this, he is talking about higher order functions which is an entirely different beast.

I would even argue that map filter and reduce aren't even part of any paradigm: functional or imperative as all of these functions can be implemented both using recursion and a for loop... The for loop however is strictly an imperative programming concept.
Considering you can freely download fully functional builds from F-Droid, that's more likely a consequence of ignorance than laziness. Is it ethical to profit from ignorance? Especially when others chose not to profit from yours? What about when that ignorance is harmful to your ideals?

I just commented about this elsewhere, but my take is that some people who previously resisted identity politics finally threw up their hands and decided to accept it, as someone being attacked. So the hypocrisy and contradictions are better understood as protecting their own people from aggression.

As in, the substance of the argument is less important than the parties involved.

As in, "So women have special interest groups and dedicated clubs? Fine. Then it's OK for men to work to get their seat at the table, too." This explains a lot of the eagerness for leaders who know how to "fight". It also explains the lack of caring around ideological hypocrisy. It's like lawyer logic on some level:

"My client was not in town that night. And if he was in town, he did not borrow the mower. And if he did borrow the mower, it was with the consent of the plaintiff. And at any rate, the mower was already broken. And if it wasn't already broken, it broke itself."

...the important part of the argument is the defense of that particular client, not the logical coherence of the narrative.
> You flubbed the algorithm question. We're looking for someone with a stronger CS background.

When Triplebyte wanted me to go through their experimental interview, part of what I was asked was to "talk about" hash tables and, later, red-black trees. That seemed vague, but, prompted for what they were looking for, I covered the following:

- Hash tables are the generalization of arrays to non-integer indices. They have the access characteristics of arrays. They store data in a backing array.

- When two keys collide, the hash table can store them in a linked list (the "buckets" approach).

- If you don't like that, you can do quadratic probing, in which you repeatedly square an offset from the true hash value for that key, until you find a space in the backing array that is not currently full.

- Quadratic probing has the disadvantage that when you delete an entry from the table, you have to leave a placeholder in the backing array saying "there used to be something here!"

- If you generate an index into the backing array which is greater than its size, you would usually deal with that by taking the index modulus the size of the backing array.

- If the backing array gets too full, you would allocate a new backing array of double the size and rehash everything into the new backing array. You double the size so that amortized insert time stays constant.

- Amortized time complexity refers to the average amount of time taken for a set of completed operations.

- Red-black trees are a type of self-balancing binary tree with the property that all paths root to leaf are within a factor of two in terms of length. I can't say much more about them and wouldn't be able to write one off the top of my head.

The feedback they gave me was that, if I wanted to continue working with them, my highest priority should be to improve my knowledge of hash tables and red-black trees.

And sure, there's plenty of room for improvement in terms of red-black trees. But I am mystified as to what else they wanted for hash tables.
> The type of cycling I'm talking about is very close to the speed that our reflexes are evolved to deal with

Yeah, well, I go a bit faster than that, whether it's commuting or fitness cycling. You have to, because you're on the street a lot of the time with fast-moving cars. Cycling in the US is a bit different than cycling is in Europe, so the safety measures you consider appropriate over there are different over here.

> Is it worth the bother to lug your helmet with you everywhere?

Did you read the part of my comment where I said that I always keep my helmet with my bike? I'm not lugging my helmet with me anywhere ever. It's not a bother, it's just always on my handlebars.

And guess what, I also have a Citibike bikeshare membership, and sometimes I don't wear a helmet while riding that because I don't have it with me. Not having a helmet with me won't stop me from riding. By the same token, though, easily having a helmet accessible, which describes most of my riding, definitely will get me wearing it!

I should also point out that >90% of all my fellow bike commuters at work, as well as >95% of the fitness cyclists I ride with, wear helmets. Not only does it just make sense as a reasonable precaution you can take (like wearing your seatbelt in a car), but I'd very much stand out if I didn't wear one.
Sometimes havoc is optimal.
Rename Projects to "src" and set GOPATH to D:/.
haha, that is what is funny about this. But you really should use a lawyer to form your entities, because the registered agent can be subpoena'd and you would never know. The lawyer can lock that up under client-attorney privilege.
I strongly agree that this is true in a lot of cases, and the ahead-of-time rationalization of limiting liability helps to perpetuate the lack of necessity of a clear, defensible reason for rejection.

I say this as a hiring manager, by the way, knowing full well that nothing involving the hiring process is as clean and straightforward as anyone involved wants it to be.
One of the goals of adult life is to be able to find the things that one likes to do and find creative ways to do them, when the most straightforward way does not seem possible. I don't mean to offer any solutions to your situation, but this is something that made me feel a lot more control of my own life :)
It's easier to have a relatively objective interviewing process for technical roles. OTOH management/sales roles are usually decided on subjective criteria and on how much confidence the interviewee projects.
I don't want to dismiss your experiences, and I've read a lot of anecdotes. What I don't think anybody knows is the actual prevalence of the behaviors that you describe.

Somebody has to have thought of putting up a video camera and measuring the prevalence of law / safety violations among cyclists, but to the best of my knowledge nobody has bothered with this, instead hoping that anecdotes and "studies" will somehow shed light on the situation.

Speaking as a cyclist, if cyclists are regularly behaving as recklessly as you describe, I'd be the first to join in protesting and embarrassing them.

What I've noticed is that the crimes of both motorists and cyclists are crimes of convenience and opportunity. For instance it would be hard for a car to squeeze between two buses, but likewise, nearly impossible for a cyclist to ride as far above the speed limit as every car that goes past my house. At least, my own legs aren't that good. ;-)
I too have my anecdotes about myself and my friends who got into accidents and wear very glad they were wearing helmets. One friend in particular was struck by a hit-and-run driver on a suburban road and was injured quite badly; he could've died if not for his helmet.
I actually prefer busy streets for cycling. A big reason for that are the wider lanes and multiple lanes. This makes it much easier for vehicles to pass. There are also fewer intersections, a greater tendency to ensure that the lines of sight are clear of obstructions, and better lighting at night, all of which have huge benefits to safety. Quiet streets may reduce the amount of interaction with motor vehicles, yet the interaction seems to be much more risky on side streets.
The compiler doesn't care. Even for the build tool it doesn't really matter. The one thing that cares about repositories is "go get", a small convenience wrapper around git/hg/svn.
> The web site here says that this is not an issue because the air within the chimney does not experience adiabatic cooling as the air outside the chimney does. Which is complete nonsense.

As I posted elsewhere, whether or not you can conceptualize it, there are real examples of this phenomenon in the world, such as this large cave network in Turkey.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%B1narg%C3%B6z%C3%BC_Cave#...

Even if the temperature differential needs to be a bit higher to make this consistently effective, there are certainly ways that can be done. Such as channeling heat via thermal conductors and radiative materials at night, or consuming waste heat from industrial processes that would be happening regardless. I think it's worth exploring.
I had a recruiter from Intel contact me recently, for a job that I seemingly had all the qualifications for. After a brief phone exchange she told me I was a great candidate and that I was what they were looking for. If the hiring manager agreed, I would be invited for a formal interview. Two weeks later I got an email saying I was not selected, the hiring manager did not agree, for reasons that will forever remain a mystery to me.
I'm sort of in awe. Wow.
You are making very disingenuous arguments here and you damn well know it. Bicycling is both at a much faster speed than walking and is also much more likely to cause a fall or collision with an object in a way that could have you striking your head. Your comment is not at the level of quality of an argument I would expect to see advanced on HN.
Yes, and I'm a human who thinks that it's unwise to make policy based on anecdotes. A heretic, I am!
Hiring in this country is a joke.
Which is a totally overrated benefit.

Judges in any other state can lean on Delaware court outcomes if their state has never seen the issue before. But what if you don't like the direction the case law went? Then its better for you to create a new outcome in literally any other state.

You think literally all 50+ states' legislatures just sat idly over the last 30 years while Delaware's marketing machine was churning out the non-income-tax-related revenue scheme for their government?

Just think about it for a second, it doesn't matter what the collective conscious currently thinks right now, just think for yourself on it. There are over 50 US jurisdictions that could have any number of things in their law books and case law related to business.

Is the primary authority's (EEOC) definition of sexual harassment:
It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.[0]

And is the primary authority's (EEOC) definition of harassment in general:
Offensive conduct may include, but is not limited to, offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name calling, physical assaults or threats, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, offensive objects or pictures, and interference with work performance.[1]

Neither of which make the remark in-question constitute of sexual harassment or harassment in-general. I'm sure there is a proper word that accurately describes unwanted remarks about a person's body, but by calling it sexual harassment you are marginalizing the serious cases of sexual harassment that fit under the legal definition.

I didnt start coding professionally until I was over 30 years old and I had a degree in Economics, though I do have a youthful appearance and looking like a recent grad, playing video games, fitting the culture, etc. may have helped me avoid age discrimination. I'm now pivoting towards a career in computational biology.

I would have made more money had I not changed career paths, but I have absolutely no regrets. Unless the path puts you towards Financial Independence in the short-term, it's not worth it to labor for 40 plus hours per week for something you don't care for. Nights and weekends dont really make up for it imo
Yeah, your mom
Sometimes this is the true, other times not. For example, sometimes it's reflection or being a space cadet or just me having not achieved bodhi-level control over my mind.

It's one of those things where there's often nothing wrong until someone asks me "What's wrong?" and then suddenly { bam! } there are two things wrong:

1) apparently my expression is conveying there's something wrong and 2) now my chain of thought is broken (unless what I'm thinking about happens to lend itself to good conversation or it's just not important (admittedly I think about many unimportant things, which some might argue is problematic, but then again, what's really important?)).
I realize this is getting off topic, but can you explain why you think that, "All available evidence strongly suggests that Charles Murray is in fact a racist"? I've read The Bell Curve and listened to a debate where Murray argued in favor of universal basic income. I came away from both thinking that he's been totally misrepresented.

I just reviewed my notes for The Bell Curve to make sure I hadn't mis-remembered the content. Out of 22 chapters, two are on race. One begins with, "The first thing to remember is that the differences among individuals are far greater than the differences between groups." In other words: knowing someone's race tells you nothing about their intelligence.

The chapters on race contain no expression of racial superiority or inferiority, nor any policies favoring discrimination. The only definition of racism that could apply is the view that there are some statistical differences between races, though the book doesn't weigh-in on how much is caused by genes vs environment. It also reiterates that these statistical differences cannot be used to infer anything about individuals.

Supporting racism (in the sense of advocating for racial superiority or discrimination) is deeply unethical, so I'd very much like to know if Murray holds such views.
