> There was too much data pointing to the biological basis of sex-based cognitive differences to ignore, Halpern says. For one thing, the animal-research findings resonated with sex-based differences ascribed to people. These findings continue to accrue. In a study of 34 rhesus monkeys, for example, males strongly preferred toys with wheels over plush toys, whereas females found plush toys likable. It would be tough to argue that the monkeys’ parents bought them sex-typed toys or that simian society encourages its male offspring to play more with trucks. A much more recent study established that boys and girls 9 to 17 months old — an age when children show few if any signs of recognizing either their own or other children’s sex — nonetheless show marked differences in their preference for stereotypically male versus stereotypically female toys.

> smart reviewers salt their reviews with the occasional negative one (generally for people who aren't bribing them)

This is exactly the problem with the "consumer protection" racket--companies like Consumer Affairs will curate a negative presentation of your company or product, then call you up offering a $2,500/month subscription which basically allows you to remove old negative reviews and prevent new ones from appearing on their site.
Outside of a few extremely devout Buddhists, very, very few people I've spoken with adhere to a consistent set of first principles when it comes to making moral decisions across abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and vegetarianism.

The question of what gives a life its value is a difficult one and is nearly impossible to discuss on a forum like this.

The Brisbane Baylands is not a load of potential, it is a fetid swamp that has remained undeveloped because it is a flood prone wasteland well apart from all nearby inhabited areas. The Brisbane Baylands have remained undeveloped since the gold rush for very solid reasons. Simply adding one or two stories to permitted development in downtowns in nearby areas would open up large volumes for more development, but because of the depraved and irrational state of land use planning a fetid swamp is considered vastly more desirable than an added story in an existing and already developed downtown with transit access and all the rest. Zoom out and look at the big picture of bay area land use and this idea that the Brisbane Baylands is an absolutely critical development falls away.

Frankly I don't know what you are trying to say, given that whatever that is, it's not relevant to the sexual predator scenario. The only thing I can think of is that you are suggesting rules to cover one's ass to prevent being accused of being a sexual predator. This seems like something that's smart to do... but why bring it up in the discussion of this article? It sounded like you were suggesting that "S" should have taken these precautions and then "S" would either not have been accused or perhaps would not have committed these acts in the first place. Obviously this makes it sound like you are siding with "S" against his accuses or are suggesting that it's not really his fault, which would put in you uncomfortable company. See why I am concerned by your posts? It's hard to separate what you are saying from this.
This is largely ridiculous. Many of the Rohingya people fled to Myanmar during the 71' Bangladesh Genocide, which was largely committed by Pakistan. The group responsible for your recent unrest is upset because members of their group have faced war crime trials for their acts during the genocide. Bangladesh itself at least attempts to have religious freedom. And I have no clue what event you're trying to pin on the Rohingya to say they started this conflict.
IMO, the fishy part of the article is the cronyism involved in this program:

"The shadowy program — parts of it remain classified — began in 2007, and initially it was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time and who has long had an interest in space phenomena. Most of the money went to an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow, who is currently working with NASA to produce expandable craft for humans to use in space."

So... Harry Reid's friend is absolutely convinced there are aliens, gets Reid to convince congress to fund the program, and all the money goes back to his own company? Not fishy at all.
Some inventory control systems are not well structured for items with expire dates. First-IN, First-out = FIFO, so oldest is sold first - works well as long as expiry is the first date. Some are Last-in, First-out, like dollar bills in the cash where the early ones are busied under newer ones. Foods should be properly hierarched for sale/disposal.
Careful financial management that refuses to toss out expired items?

Others might amplify this idea.

"Rape cases are hard to prove"

Why are rape cases like this hard to prove? She was pass-out drunk, and the accused had sex with her. That's all the prosecutor should have to prove, there should be no she-said, he-said over consent.

Courts regularly rule that people don't have the capacity to sign a contract while drunk, yet somehow they do have the capacity to consent to sex? Come on.

Even if she did say yes, it's still rape in my opinion.

I know that drunken sex is the traditional way to consummate a relationship in modern Western culture, so this would be quite a difficult cultural change.

But IMO such a change would do more to strengthen the drunk college party tradition than it would to weaken it. Girls would be even more likely to party wildly if they weren't scared of being assaulted while doing so...

More voices also means more noise, but I think this is a transitional period, and the noise will find its level again. The value of giving people a franchise based on what they have to say has to start somehwere, and it’s an admittedly rough start. I feel like too often the value of the underlying process is ignored in favor of obsessive complaining sbout reasonable and expected cultural growing pains.
When I first read the program or its funding had ended, I, like you, also concluded that this was an indication that the Pentagon saw no reason to take it further. But then I jumped into the deep end: who knows the program('s funding) has been discontinued? It could live on in more secrecy, with the discontinuation of its more public form as a decoy.

Am I being tinfoil hatted here? It's what I would probably do if I were the Pentagon and found out the program has merit.

The really dumb part is the grandiose idea that aliens traveled immense distances to hide from us. The amount of energy needed to reach the a nearby star in any reasonable time is greater than the total of energy mankind has ever generated.

Specifically, they're called snow sheds[0] as they're angled to capture and hold snow deposits, serving as a physical obstacle to accumulated snow that could then later slide. The big risk there would be a slab avalanche,[1] possibly triggered by the funicular's own vibrations. Because the snow sheds are directly supporting any heavy deposits of snow, they isolate the slab from a weaker snowpack that'd otherwise be underneath it.

I think about it as first listing a bunch of scalars, then consolidating them with operations.

It seems to me that philosophy has made zero progress on the hard problem, other than naming it. Is there any concrete progress, any useful result you can point me at?

Neuroscience and computer science obviously haven't solved it either, but they have at least made some progress in understanding parts of the brain's structure, and gradually reproducing what we thought were uniquely human abilities with mindless computer programs. This suggests that "qualia" may not really be needed to explain consciousness (or at any rate thought); just as Darwin's theories showed why "god" isn't strictly needed to explain the diversity of animal species.

I agree there's still the niggling issue of "but why do I seem to experience stuff? Surely I'm not a mindless automaton!" There's also the problem of "but why does the universe exist in the first place?" But I don't believe philosophers have any particular insight or knowledge to bring to the first problem, any more than theologians have any real inside knowledge of the latter.
I suspect it was the pointer to the naming on twitter that got the flag, FWIW. Not a big deal.

One problem with standards organizations is that they have a bunch of people whose job is to make new versions of the standard. Look at the evolution of openGL, the web, C++, Unicode (love hotel? Poop emoji?) and so on. Even ASCII evolved to 8bit and the got ansi escape codes, but it's stable now. C is fairly stable now but that's because all the new stuff is in C++ (much like HTML replaced ASCII).
I'm copying an observation I made on a similar thread about Mill a few weeks ago:

---

[...] Mill should be taken holistically -- he's a Utilitarian[1], and is firmly committed to his version of the principle of utility (the "Greatest Happiness Principle"). Reading a practical prescription of free speech as a moral (or even lesser, legal) prescription would lead to a contradiction in any circumstance where the GHP says that restricting speech would promote happiness (e.g., where incitement leads to murder).

[1]: Specifically, on my interpretation, he's an act utilitarian. I've seen him read as an rule utilitarian (and parts 4 and on of his Utilitarianism can support that reading), but his first formulation of the GHP is pretty unambiguous:

> [...] actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness [...]

---

This is a tension that is frequently pointed out in academic philosophy in Mill's works -- he switches between principles and actions frequently, and contradicts himself by valuing free speech qua principle rather than means.

It's built on ESR releases, so you're currently correct, but in a few more months it will jump from version 52 to 59 (IIRC) and get all of that. It still gets security updates, so I view it as "reasonably" up-to-date. So it mostly comes down to what your definition of reasonably up-to-date in this context is.

Ignoring satellite options there is one other ISP that can serve my house. The best plan from them is around $60CAD a month for 10mbps down and 1mbps up with 120gb of data.

For some context, I don't live in one of the two big cities of SK, but I'm not out on a farm or anything either so I think my experience is similar to most in SK that are not farmers or in Regina/Saskatoon (the two biggest cities in SK)
> The fact that people always call for bankers to be jailed, but never specific bankers for specific conduct, is telling.

The only telling thing about is that the system is so incredibly opaque, and responsibility for harm is so diffused in it, that it's a criminal's dream.

What sort of redress should we seek for their reckless behaviour? Criminal convictions, debt forgiveness, nationalization. Not a single one of them took place. Just because the public was not directly being defrauded (even though plenty of actual fraud did take place), doesn't mean that we were not impacted by the fraud that was taking place.

Who was responsible for the Iraq war? Everyone was involved in the lies that lead up to it, but nobody - nobody has been held accountable. Does that mean that there wasn't a thing wrong with how the GOP dragged two countries into it? It's just an unfortunate accident that bad behaviour in bad faith brought about bad results, and we should throw our hands in the air and say: "Well, shucks! What an unfortunate accident! It would be terrible if we sought redress for it... Or changed the rules so that it wouldn't happen again."
marricks asserted that no one went to jail because bankers hire lobbyists to make sure that laws are written in such a way as to make the jailing of bankers impossible.

Asking for a specific example of when that has happened isn't rhetorical grandstanding, it's just asking for evidence to support a claim.
Do we have video of the event? Do we have eye witnesses who saw the sexual encounter? Do we know for sure what happened between two people when most likely no one else was around?

Most cases of rape absolutely are a case of he said, she said because in most cases they are the only two people present when the encounter occurred.

You can come up with physical evidence showing that intercourse happened and that she had high levels of alcohol in her system. You can come up with witnesses that the man and woman in question attended an event together and she went and crashed at his place. All of that is called circumstantial evidence. So unless you have something like videotape of the assault, it very often comes down to the testimony of two people -- him and her -- and which one you believe the most. Because the definition of rape hinges on the detail of consent.

That is almost always the case. Sex typically occurs privately. There are usually no other witnesses to sexual intercourse aside from the two people who had intercourse. This is generally true whether the incident was consenting or not.
I would really like a postfix lisp.

I wonder what edge cases I would run into designing one.
FYI, my comment wasn't intended as a correction. The limit of $200 is even more extreme than your stated $500, and the law even includes a minimum sentence of two years.
Building a web browser is potentially the most complicated application to build nowadays, it can't be sustained just by a community of volunteers and Firefox has to maintain a payroll of at least a thousand extremely highly paid engineers.

They're needed for a proper free and open internet which is independent from the needs of corporations but they also need to pay their bills.

It's a fine line that they have to tread, maybe they overstepped the boundary this time but I'd rather there was a firefox that can afford to innovate and push forward the web platform as a whole than not one.
> If all we ever did was listen to the experts, the earth would be flat still

That's mostly a myth. In almost all cases, at least in objective fields, the people who establish a new understanding that replaces the old expert consensus are themselves experts in the old understanding.

The people who established a round earth in any given culture were experts in that culture's flat earth view.

Copernicus was an expert in geocentric cosmology.

Galileo was an expert in Aristotelian physics.

Einstein was an expert in Newtonian physics.

Actually it would be great - in the best interest of users - to make this distinction more pronounced. The "document web" should be a relatively safe space that you can comfortably browse with JS disabled. The "app web" is a different beast, and the trust of the user to turn on the JS engine should be earned. We could have "web browsers" and "app browsers", with the former being much more safe and less resource-consuming.
>> Do not buy Chinese crap. It's a lottery.

Most of the problematic products as they relate to reviews on Amazon are Chinese products. When I used to do incentivized reviews, all but one single company who approached me for a product review (this does not include eBook authors) was not Chinese.

>> For a certain class of goods and for reasonable price points, you do get what you pay for.

This is 100% true, but I find a lot of Chinese products punched above their weight. During my time reviewing, I turned down the cheap sketchy products and focused mainly on stuff that I wanted that looked like they were well made. And you know what, a lot of the products I got were actually fantastic relative to their selling price.
