I'm sorry but that's just not true, not all professional cyclists were doping. Even reading the accounts of other confessed dopers of the time such as David Miller. Or see the legal testimony of Frankie and Betsy Andreu record at the time, in court.

They were all able to name professional cyclists of the time who were known by them not to be doping.

People disliked Armstrong not just because he cheated but because he did things like force other members of his team to to dope and fired those that wouldn't. At the same attacking their reputations so that they couldn't blow the whistle on him.

Armstrong wasn't the fall guy because he was famous he was the fall guy because he was the instigator.

The word "empathy" has a somewhat eerie ring to it, as if it were a magical capability. At least in its most common understanding as "the ability to feel what another person feels".

Fun fact: that's impossible. You can never be sure what another person is feeling, because you are not that person. They, and only they, are the sole authority on their feelings.

Instead, I choose to understand empathy as opening up to the fullest extent possible: removing all filters, prejudices and opinions, listening to what another person has to say, and being with them in a mindful way.

As Marshall Rosenberg puts it: “Empathy: emptying our mind and listening with our whole being.”
You don't simply say "no" in any workplace.

A well-functioning team is composed of skilled professionals. If you are being asked to do something, it is because someone else has a problem that needs to be solved. "No" is an especially unhelpful response to that scenario. Other approaches can work:

- "No, but how about this alternative idea?"

- "No, this prerequisite is required. How can we make that happen?"

- "Not without causing these other problems – let's decide if it's worth the tradeoff"

- "No, that idea is fundamentally impossible. Here's why."

If you work in an environment where engineers are never listened to, then it's a bad environment. But similarly, engineering requirements are not the only ones, and it's important to realise that quite often an engineer doesn't have all of the required information to make the correct long-term decision.
Nope, you had your chance.
I once had this thought myself. Our brains evolved to deal with social grouping of a few dozen individuals at most. Now it's being heavily taxed -- not only do we have to remember and deal with hundreds of individuals, we're no longer just comparing ourselves against others in our tribe/village, but the entire world. And the amount of rules and social conventions that need to be followed are numerous, and the pace of society is breakneck.

I'd like to see a study done to see if this is the cause of the rising levels of mental health issues (or is it just more and more diagnoses)? Whenever I hear a report of someone shooting, stabbing or driving a vehicle into random strangers, I wonder whether it is someone who's been broken by the size, speed and complexity of modern life.

If you identify as vegetarian, then proceed to eat chicken. Then no you arent vegetarian.

If you've eaten chicken at some point in the past, then identify as vegetarian and stick to it. Then yes you are vegetarian.

If you've eaten chicken at some point in the past, then identify as vegetarian and stick to it, and then eat chicken after some point. Then you was a vegetarian but are no longer.

I didn't think it was that difficult.

> mostly results from some combination of coming from a privileged background

That sounds like wishful thinking.

How do you counter the following data points that suggest the opposite:

1. Software development contains a disproportionate number of successful Indians who come from much less privilege than the average American.

2. Despite having strong social safety nets European countries do not dominate tech.

Even in these countries underprivileged migrants without access to the safety nets are disproportionately successful.
Categories are a human-defined thing, not something that is "out there". The point is to try to understand human behavior better, and that includes questioning pre-existing categories, and perhaps, defining new ones?

Quoting the abstract again:
"Latent class analysis revealed six distinctive "types" of heterosexually identified students whose last hookup was with a same-sex partner.[...]"
"And I don't think you will find non-crazy volunteers for the invasive experiments"

Take a look into the "wirehead" culture. There are people right now applying electric currents to their brains because they believe it enhances them in various ways.

Many are sane, unless you define them as insane solely on the basis of being wireheads.

It's a waste and a tragedy that we can't monitor their outcomes in a scientifically valid way. Not to mention chilling their self-reporting with legal uncertainty.
The obvious things are size, speed and integration with existing computers.

A neuron is measured in micrometers, a memristor in nanometers (and the paper suggests even single-atom devices may be possible).

A neuron can fire at most a couple hundred times per second; a memristor has "subnanosecond switching speed", i.e. it operates in the usual GHz operating frequency range of modern computers.

And you can integrate them at the circuit level, so they can draw on the superbiological capabilities of existing computers at native speed.
I wonder why this is being downvoted. Perhaps I am very simple and don't get complex nuances of the matter, but for me a heterosexual person is one who likes sexual relations with the opposite sex only. Having a consensual same-sex relation implies being either homosexual or bisexual.
I'm sorry but the article has very little to do with the actual boot process of modern distributions.
The definition of heterosexual is "sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex".

You can have sex with someone without being sexually attracted to their sex in general (with them being the exception) or even without being sexually attracted to them at all. Maybe you just want company while jerking off.

Come to Europe, it costs (private care, outside the state healthcare system) way less. Dental industry is OK, your healthcare system needs a disruption (and I'm really not saying that it should be government-ran).
Before commenting the instinctive "the title is a contradiction, this doesn't make sense", please read the damn abstract. It is short. If you are too lazy, here is the first line:

"Individuals who identify as heterosexual but engage in same-sex sexual behavior fascinate both researchers and the media. "

The whole point is about examining current categories, perhaps come up with more fine-grained categories, and finally, understanding human behaviour better.

It's relevant because we have to use terminology like MSM (men who have sex with men) in public health because otherwise we exclude people who do not identify as homosexual or bisexual. Often we don't care how someone self identifies. We do care about things they do.

Knowing why some men identify as heterosexual and refuse to identify as anything else -even though they have sex with men- can tell us about stigma and discrimination and can help us provide healthcare.

I think it's genetic. Whatever allele is responsible for emacs affinity, some people have it. It never ceases to amaze me how early in their studies they latch onto emacs and start doing increasing amounts of their computing through it.

It might be better if such email was automatically marked as spam until the user marks it as good. If they keep doing that, then that send path should gain elevated trust.

The OP oversimplified a bit more: for starters, one could be a woman. To get the obvious answer out of the way.

Secondly, and more to your point, one could be curious as to what the experience is like without having any specific sexual feelings for the same gender. Sexuality means you enjoy the act, just performing is not enough. See also: gay-for-pay pornstars, closeted gay people in hetero relationships, non-consensual sex. An example from the study would be "performative" homosexual relationships, where someone might kiss someone of the same gender not for their own pleasure, but to entice a third person of the opposite gender.
I think most of the boot process is initializing hardware, so I don't see how you avoid it.

> As a social media user, you should have the right to leave a platform that you are not satisfied with... Furthermore, if users decide to leave a platform, they should be able to easily, efficiently, and freely take their uploaded information away and move it to a different one in a usable format.

Data is not the one thing stopping people leaving facebook... friends are.

This force stopping people leaving is the same one that drove social media into a monopoly - there is no cross platform protocol. Platforms do not communicate with each other like email clients. In this scenario the very nature of communication encourages people gather into a single large group for convenience (if it wasn't facebook it would have been another).

The abuse of a company in such a position is inevitable.

The _question_ is not going to be how can we make a protocol now (it's too late, facebook doesn't care), the question is how long will it take for enough people to become disgusted enough to switch to something more open where protocols could be developed, or where the platform is open source anyway and corporate forces are not an issue.
Do we really need to use tax money on this kinda of stuff... Is it not clear that minorities would pretend to belong to the majority. Because it is more benificial?

Harder, hard to corrode. Those are important properties and you could always make a composite (sandwich) of more than one material.
So, to you, a sexual encounter being "consensual" and it being something each partner "likes" are synonymous?

In your world, if you have sex with someone but it ends up not being very good, you view yourself as having been raped?

I'm sorry, but conflating what someone "likes" with what is "consensual" is deeply problematic. I'd ask that you not do that.
And I thought I had seen it all about sexual orientations. If you let guys fuck your butt you are a homosexual. "MSM", that sounds like a joke. And if you lie about being a homosexual to a doctor because you're ashamed of it, you won't say "well I'm a heterosexual... who has sex with men". The existence of the "MSM" denomination won't make a difference.

A lot of bad philosophy is like this, a pointless discussion about what words mean pretending to be a discussion about something. Even "real" philosophers do this. Theology is full of it, greek philosophy too. Modern philosophers (say, marx for example) try to solve this by creating their own, precisely defined words and concepts but they still often end up in the same stupid place.

I wonder if some level of fluency in a computer language helps with this.
No they are just called.... Promiscuous...

>I don't find that to be too surprising. I can be hyper-aware of my own ailments, but keeping up with an entire field is more difficult.

I do not find the above to be sufficient justification to practice in ANY field without trying to stay aware of the state-of-the-art.

Yes, in medicine in particular, there is a justifiable bias toward applying more conservative treatments first. "Hear hoof beats, think horse first, not Zebra," is the axiom I believe is most frequently ground into new physicians.

The problem comes in when a physician becomes so conditioned to conservative treatments working that they become blind to the extremes. Running with the Zebra analogy, just because you hear hoof beats, you see a horse-like silhouette, and in this lighting you can't tell the color, does not mean you should IGNORE the possibility of Zebra.

As a practicing physician, you are DEPENDED upon to be the layman's gateway to the entirety of the collective medical knowledge base we've been able to accrue, verify, and are in the process of verifying. You owe it to your patients, just as an Engineer owes it to the public, to become as well acquainted with the medical literature as it pertains to them as possible.

I may be being a bit normative here, but an M.D. should be seen as a commitment to spending your life on the pursuit of the means by which to provide the highest quality of care for your body of patients. That at times means being ready to help the a patient access and navigate the less charted waters of the state-of-the-art if necessary.

I agree completely that state-of-the-art should not be the first hammer pulled from the toolbox, but one should not actively avoid it either. At the end of the day, data doesn't get generated out of thin air, and if the patient understands and accepts the risks after you have provided them the best guidance you can, you have done all that can be expected of you, have you not?

Got to quibble with Antipattern #9 about test code - there's certainly a place for extracting common patterns from test code (factories, complex setup) but too much DRY in tests can make for hard-to-modify spaghetti. Sometimes it's easier to just repeat a few lines of code in the name of clarity.

I guess that a hint is probably in the abstract, "people are fascinated by this" (I am speculating) in a similar way to how they're fascinated by political stuff, that speaks directly to a currently important ideological point.

That fascination, in HN-clickstream behaviour form... it looks like a "flag" to HN's flag classification system, human or machine, because the last time people were so fascinated a nasty flame ware emerged.
I used to do the same. Eventually the cable of my TypeMatrix 2030 USB was damaged and I tried to fix it but I didn't know what I was doing back then. I replaced the first one with two new -- one for having at home and one for having at work.

I bought my first TypeMatrix 2030 USB in 2010 and kept using TypeMatrix 2030 USB until december of last year when I bought an ErgoDox EZ Shine with Kailh Thick Gold switches. Completely black with nothing printed on the keys. The ErgoDox EZ keyboards are ortholinear like the TypeMatrix and they have similar keys in the middle but they are split in two and they have legs so you can angle them. Also they are programmable so you can assign your own mapping. My key map is based on Dvorak of course.

The ErgoDox EZ is quite expensive but it has been worth it IMO. Very much so :)

The ErgoDox EZ is a bit more convoluted to travel with and you wouldn't be able to use it without a table but then again I had already stopped carrying my keyboard and laptop most of the time -- I now only bring them if I am going someplace and will be away from home for many days. Laptops aren't that great anyways; short battery life and the screens are too small. I mainly use a stationary computer with dual 24" monitors, 32GB of RAM, an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU and an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB graphics card.

Here is the ErgoDox EZ website: https://ergodox-ez.com/

Here is the layout I created for my keyboard using their online tool: https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/keyboard_layouts/qppwjy/edi...

There are two things that are really nice about having the keyboard be programmable;

1. I can use it with any computer without having to configure layout customization on the computer itself. Just set the keyboard layout of the computer to be US QWERTY if it isn't already (I live in Norway) and I can use my keyboard with the Dvorak based variant that I have defined.

2. It can send different signals based on whether you are tapping or holding a button pressed. Some people remap their caps lock to ctrl, some to esc. Typically people that use emacs will map it to ctrl and vim users will map it to esc. I use vim but I think having ctrl in that position is nice as well, so I have the button in that position configured so that it sends esc if I tap it and it sends ctrl if I press and hold.
