HTML email is supposed to be just another part alongside plain text as well. Anybody who uses a plain-text email client knows that nowhere near 100% of HTML emails are sent with a sane plaintext part. A fair portion of the time, there just is no plaintext part, other times there claims to be but it is just the HTML source stuffed into it. I've even seen some marketing mails (Delimiter promotional emails are the ones I'm thinking of, but there are others) where the plaintext part is just a completely different older message, apparently because they forgot to update that part before sending it out.

Now, I know plaintext users are in the majority, but I don't think you can reasonably expect the same not to happen to AMP for emails if they ever become widespread.

>Why is equality of outcome not a desirable goal, especially in science and technology?

I am going to try and describe this in a math/programming way.

Say we have two functions randM() and randF() the first returns a Male Person, the second returns a Female Person. Person has an Ability and a Preference. We also have a function stemJob(Person p) that takes a Person and returns a Job with an Income, Prestige, and Satisfaction.

Equality of outcome would mean that after 10^9 calls of each the this is true average(stemJob(randM()) == average(stemJob(randF()). This could be either because 1a) randM() and randF() produce on average the same person modulo Sex and stemJob() does not consider Sex or 1b) The difference between the average randM() and randF() is corrected for by stemJob() considering Sex.

The other option is equality of chance where stemJob(randM()) == stemJob(randF()) where randM() and randF() have the same Ability and Preference.

Notice that in equality of chance and in equality of outcome stemJob() may or may not be the same. If randM() and randF() produce on average the same person modulo Sex then stemJob() is the same for both equality of chance and equality of outcome. If that assumption does not hold then stemJob() must be different.

Thus, if I support equality of chance and believe avg(randM()) != avg(randF()) I would not support equality of outcome because that would require stemJob to consider Sex in a way that invalids equality of chance.

Hope this give you a different way to look at why some people are against equality of outcome in STEM.

Most of the concepts in that diagram are in direct contradiction of the agile manifesto.

For example, a scrum master is supposed to ensure a team follows agreed processes, in direct contradiction with one of the four values of the agile manifesto:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

A scrum master is someone running around dictating that everyone stick to processes. Usually that were "agreed" by management (i.e. dictated)[1]. This is also in direct contradiction to several of the principles.

I also love how the customer is shoved in the top right of the diagram, as far, far, far away from the developers as possible. Agile value 3:

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

[1] Scrum itself is so far from agile and in direct contradiction of the principles I have no idea how they managed to convince everyone it's an agile methodology.

> So the question is why not just use wifi?

5G is designed to use wifi when available. It's more than just new cellular radio interface and antennas. 5G connection can use 5G/LTE/WiFi simultaneously. Gibabit LTE can be used as an anchor for 5G functionality even when 5G networks is not available.

I think many people underestimate the ambition of 5G and assume that 5G is just 4G with vastly bandwidth.

Ask HN: Show logged in state on SaaS marketing site?
The main horizontal nav at the top of a SaaS service will typically present options to either log in or sign up. Which of the two is shown is dependent on the logged-in state of the user (if logged_in display_account_link else display_sign_in_link).

Some SaaS services ignore the logged-in state of the user on the not-the-product-itself marketing site. An example is MailChimp where I am shown 'Sign Up Free' and 'Log in' options when viewing https://mailchimp.com regardless of whether I have already logged in. I'm assuming this to be an intentional choice and not a bug as it has been that way for years.

Some SaaS services respect the logged-in state of the user on the marketing site (if logged_in display_account_link else display_sign_in_link) in addition to doing so within the product itself. I can't find any real-life examples of this other than for a service I am currently developing. Examples welcome if you know of any!

My questions:

Are there any best practices, from a user perspective of, of choosing one of the above options (never respect/always respect logged-in state on the marketing site) over the other?

I can see how never respecting the logged-in state on the marketing site has technical benefits with respect to something something complexity and something something security something something.

Do you find yourself confused when ending up at a given service's marketing site and thinking that you are not logged in when you thought you were?

I ask as the additional complexity and security aspects of respecting the logged-in state on the marketing site of a Saas product is something I have to deal with and think about from time to time.

When wearing my engineering hat I want to go with the MailChimp way of doing things. When wearing my UX hat I want to respect the logged-in state of the user at all times. Sometimes my hats argue between themselves.

I fail to see how it can help in this case. The most fine-grained access you can achieve with SELinux are objects such as files or ports. What you need here is the ability to check if the other process has the permission to invoke certain operations from the current server through the Wayland protocol. It would be like arbitrary capabilities, but not linked to the operating system but to specific applications.

For example, in order for the Color Picker Tool to work, The Gimp should be marked with a "color picked allowed" capability, so when it asks the Wayland server for the color of pixels outside the surfaces it already owns, the server can check it and send the requested info. But a rogue program/process trying to scrap the screen content pixel by pixel shouldn't be able to do that. The inability to safely map processes to executables in Unix (and the possibility of manipulating their running code via exec(), library injection, ...) make it a very hard problem to solve without a paradigm shift that SELinux doesn't provide (as far as I can tell).

Shut tab when they first drop “microaggression”

Papers like this just scream “bourgeoisie peddling a minor update to traditional values and neoliberalism.”

“Let these groups into our factories and labs.”

Sure, all for it. Have been for decades.

What about the social structures that have us focused on profit motives over discovery and self agency?

Now that they’re in the labs are they just stuck being bored wage slaves, having their work expropriated because they’re not rich?

Same with women and the draft. It should go away for all. But it’s somehow more equal to oblige them to their death should the call arise.

Well, more equal for the proles.

Here we have people who could afford and education telling the world how to behave, based on evidence that in my digging and serious conversations with scholars and proponents of microagression theories, is based mostly upon the frequency with which certain words appear in our discourse.

It's called Middle C because it's the C in the middle of the keyboard.

All the other Cs are called C because we perceive them as "the same note."

Ask her to play a tune, and then play it again an octave higher and then lower. The pitch is different, but there's also a sense that all three versions are the same.

Mathematically, pitch is like a helix. Points with the same rotation - which happen to be a frequency ratio of powers of 2 - sound very closely related.

Instead of giving every single note a different name, it's useful to give notes the same repeating set of 12 names and then add a separate "height" variable - called the octave - to describe which turn of the helix they're on.

If you play pitches with the same rotation at the same time they blend well together. In fact you can barely tell them apart.

Of course you can rotate by less than a full circle. If you play the same tune with a different pitch offset - say one note instead of twelve, which is the smallest rotation you can do on a conventional keyboard - you'll hear it's still the same shape, but there's a jarring effect between the different versions.

Some rotations sound good together, but not as good as the identity rotation. Others clash and sound bad.

As a guide, simple divisions of the pitch circle - like 3:2 - sound smoother than the more complicated divisions.

The twelve notes approximate the rotations that sound best together. You get a good mix of smooth and not so smooth blends, and you can build all kinds of combinations with them.

You use approximations and not exact whole number ratios because you want to be able to write music that isn't stuck with a single starting/reference note. You can play the same tune at different starting pitches and the relationships between the notes doesn't change.

If you use whole number ratios a tune that sounds good starting on one note sounds weird and sour starting on others. The pitch spiral turns into an oval corkscrew, and the neat rotations get distorted.

And yes, all the As, Bs, Cs have their own specific frequencies. By convention A = 440Hz, and everything else is tuned around that. All the As are powers of 2 either side of 440Hz - from 27.5Hz, which is the lowest note on a piano, to 3520Hz for the highest A.

Of course if you want your game to update its state at a rate faster than the slowest ping time of the connected client then you've got problems. On LAN play you can get away with this, but over the Internet it's not as workable, especially if some players are on modem.

I think you are on to something. This is really the critical age when the decision happens. Everything else is the just the result of this.

My own theory, is that CS (programming) is perceived as having low social status. Women are socially smarter, so they are aware of that. Men are clueless, so they are more likely to choose programming and later they move into other CS fields.

This article does a good job of , at least in my estimation, summarizing the main factors of Peterson's success.

One additional factor I do think is a major reason so many young people find him interesting is because he synthesizes religious ideas in a modern evolutionary and scientific context to attempt to give meaning and purpose to life. This speaks to a lot of young people in post-modernist / post-religious society I think.

I don't necessarily agree with him on much, but I think the benefits of having meaning and purpose, and a social spiritual life are something most modern atheists tend to neglect, to their own and society's detriment.
