There is something else to keep in mind which is that the government can evade the 1st amendment by pressuring companies to take action against speech it doesn’t like.

No, what you have described is a free speech violation and US courts have already addressed this point many times.

And you clearly misunderstand why hostile environment laws have survived First Amendment lawsuits. The government cannot interfere with the content of what someone says. But saying (or doing) something isn't just a form of communication--it can also be an act with non-communicative results. The government can regulate behavior, so long as it is agnostic to the communicative content accompanying that behavior.

Here is what I would like to ask the head of NASA if I had the chance to interview him.

First I would ask him to list the various specific missions that the SLS is designed to carry out.

And then I would ask if the BRF lives up to its promises, which of those missions, if any it would not be able to carry out.
This is a misapplication of Occam's Razor. If a study discovers a correlation between two variables, the Razor does not take the side of either causal direction.

In this case, the "simplest" explanation as far as the Razor is concerned is not that doctor and patient's gender influences outcomes, and not that probability of some outcome influences the gender of the chosen doctor. I believe (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong) the side the Razor takes is that there is no direct causal relationship at all, which is why the burden of proof is traditionally on the experimenter to demonstrate that such a relationship does exist.

> There seems to be two things tested in this exercise. Technical drawing capabilities and knowledge of bicycle mechanics.

A lot of people here are saying that drawing is part of the challenge. I very much doubt it.

My drawing skills, including technical drawing skills, are terrible. You should have seen me yesterday when I was looking at an apartment where the owner didn't have a floor plan and I tried to sketch one without a ruler.

However, I tried and can draw a bike that works just fine. Maybe it's because I'm Dutch or because I used to be into BMX biking (when I was 9-14 years old) so I looked at more bikes than the average person on planet earth, but I was surprised when friends also couldn't draw one properly. I guess I am just one of a few who ever paid enough attention to the construction to get it right?

In any case, my drawing is absolutely awful. Out of a class of 30 in high school, I was the only one who the teacher just gave a passing grade out of pity. Most others couldn't draw amazingly either, but it was passable. Mine wasn't. But I got a passing grade because the teacher clearly saw that I tried and paid attention to his instructions.

I do not think that drawing skills have anything to do with connecting the lines to the right places. Even if it's misshapen and out of proportions, the lines that make up the bike should still connect to the right points.

I've used Steam and PS4 Remote Play fairly extensively in my home so I have some experience with the concept. I think it really it depends on the game.

God of War: somewhere in the middle. It's playable, but it feels crisper without the extra latency.

I agree people are often confused by what the 1st Amendment guarantees, however government isn't the only threat to free speech, especially on the internet where large platforms yield more power than many smaller countries.

I'm not saying private entities should be subject to the 1st Amendment, but we shouldn't give them a free pass to censor just because we happen to agree with their decision this time.

There is a lot of talk in Washington about regulation of these industries for this very reason. TV and Newspapers are responsible for their content and as such can say who they do and do not put in their publications. The internet companies were given safe harbor because they claimed to be "neutral". Not they are not and as such should be regulated like their competition.

Without safe harbor they never would have been able to grow like they did, but they had remain neutral. Now that they aren't it's time to subject them to the regulations TV, Newspapers etc have... and watch their profitability decline.
This comes across as reductive. There is truth here but some sensitivity wouldn't go amiss.

You're making the mistake of thinking that Alex Jones and his followers are rational and good-faith actors - a pre-requisite for debate.

The best thing to do is just silence their voices; no ifs, ands, or buts.

Remember, these people are against the idea of democracy.

You are examining the world as a "marketplace of ideas", which is a good first order approximation to how the world works, but people like Alex Jones are market failures in the Market of ideas. Supporters of his are not using information to make rationally informed decisions, they are making post-hoc justifications for their pre-determined belief set that broadly includes a lot of hate.

"These differences persisted even after the team accounted for factors like the doctors’ years of experience.."

So, I'm having a little bit of trouble reconciling these two statements. Who are "such patients" and why wouldn't doctors with more years of experience have more experience treating them?
Our free speech laws prevent government censorship, but also stretch to include the concept of corporate censorship in the sense of allowing access to “the public square”. IMO this public square concept will inevitably extend to major internet service providers like Facebook, Google, and Apple.

Similar to how we’ve come to understand the Internet as a whole as a utility which should provided as a dumb-pipe service by companies which must promise neutrality, a similar argument can be made that despite being run by private enterprise (so is most internet infrastructure anyway) that these monopolistic services are so core to how we actually use — and harness — the power of the internet that there is a level of neutrality required in their administration as well.

Noopept + caffeine at the beginning of every day, but this isn't golden bullet. So when I am totally unmotivated, this means I have to entertain myself.

First, they came for Alex Jones.
As long as the Fed lets banks materialize money out of thin air for 2% to loan out to someone else, there will be someone willing to loan the US money for 2%+ε. The deciding factor is not whether or not the US can borrow money, it's whether you can buy anything outside of the country with that money.
The major risk is the FEC.

This push is coming from a desire to prevent Jones from being active in the 2018 midterms.

If a Republican files a complaint with the FEC and there are employee messages talking about how they have to ban Jones to stop Trump, then the tech companies could have a situation on their hands.

How indeed? Best not talk about it here on hackernews though, it's wrongthink and will get you banned.

Remember there's no conspiracy to control the narrative. It's totally a coincidence that Alex Jones got banned from Youtube, itunes, and Facebook simultaneously.

InfoWars gets these 10 million visits because of platforms like YouTube and Facebook, so I don't see any reason why that privilege can't be taken away, especially for clearly flouting rules that other content creators have to follow.
I don't think it's about ideas, I'm not sure where you're getting that from. The article explicitly says he's banned because of TOS violations. The article is not clear about what those are, but I assume they fall under hate speech and harassment.

Specifically, I am guessing this has something to do with Jones taking legal actions against parents whose child was murdered.

I don't think this has anything to do with his "ideas" - that is a severe misunderstanding of the facts of the case. There are still plenty of people with horrible ideas on Youtube. This has everything to do with Jones using his media power to attempt to silence, discredit, and harass parents whose children have been murdered. I mean, seriously, you don't get much lower than that.
Gwynne Shotwell once noted that even the very first refurbished booster cost less than 50 % of a new one to refurbish. They've learned a lot since then and Block V is designed to do at least 10 launches I think without refurbishment (this one has been taken apart, though, since it's the very first one that launched).
> Finally, 25% of their data is with physicians with names that preclude gender assignment by their algorithm. If we assume that to be a mix of men and women, that group should perform somewhere between the male and female physicians. Why exclude this data from the analysis, rather than analyze it to confirm the trend?

I think leaving that out makes a lot of sense actually. You can't assume that the mix is 50-50 just because you don't know the data. Anecdotally, I know more women who use a male or gender-agnostic version of their name professionally than I do men. It may be more common in fields other than medicine, but for example we only know "JK Rowling" as "JK" because her publishers were worried that having an author with a feminine name would make it harder to sell the book to boys.
I downvoted the parent for saying that removing these restrictions is not OpenAI’s priority. That’s incorrect and shows the poster didn’t watch the video or read their blog posts. Nobody’s claiming OpenAI has created the perfect Dota bot. Again, “benchmark”.

I think that has more to do with being able to draw. As I argued in another comment here, I think sketching a bike has nothing to do with drawing skills. But sketching a face is not enough: the level of detail that goes into a face is much more sophisticated than a bike. On a bike you connect the lines right and you're good, but in a face... there is no logical, mechanical structure to it that you can easily replicate. The proportions all have to be right, the way skin falls... I think that's different.
This is a very good question, thank you. I am not very articulate in my ability to answer, but I'll give it a shot.

First I would say that it encompasses the fact that the purpose of propaganda, misinformation, and deception is not to inform but to incite, control, misdirect, and is otherwise malign in intent. The purpose of the action is to cause the recipient to self-harm, in the sense of sowing unwarranted distrust, fear, hatred, and division. The most fervent hope of those involved is that the US and the Western world devolve in to internal violence, disorganization, and dismemberment. I would add, these outcomes are very real risks as a result.

This is the major thrust of all of the most malignant social media operations, from Jones, to include wikileaks, the Russian astroturf and info theft campaigns, et. al.

The second aspect, not directly related to the speech aspect, is when political opponents are on the surface simply working the system but actually have no commitment to working within it and will only do so when obtaining their ends. For instance, the matter of the nomination of Garland to the US Supreme court was when it became clear that the party controlling congress was not actually committed to the norms and values of the institution, rather would do whatever they could get away with to achieve their ends. So also with voter disenfranchisement, making up lies about massive voter fraud, etc. These are all warfare, in that they are operating outside the value system that calls for free speech absolutism are assuming.

There is much to be learned from the likes of Arendt, Orwell, and others who studied the practices and effects of propaganda, disinformation, and related techniques. In my view all of these are outside the bounds of the social contract and are in fact warfare.

Okay I feed the troll.

So how much of the proof we got that Michelle Obama IS actually a women? Her look? Many transgander look much more womanish than she does. Same sex marriage? Could be? Have you seen her birth certificate (original, NOT the copy) that you can genuinely say she is a female? Yes I know she has the kids... okay so let me see their DNA test that actually they belong to Michelle as a parent. Exactly; you have none.

I'm doing you a favor here cause this will get downvoted into oblivion, but your approach is PRECISELY what the problem is with the way our society digest news and facts these days. If you think that someone, anyone, is for example a male, just because they have male name, look male and have a male sounding voice, I'm sorry but sometimes is not sufficient as a definite proof! You have to give a better example if that's was your best shot to make Jones looks like a loon.
I think many people lack the cognitive tools to think critically in general. Alex Jones type characters prey upon peoples’ fears and emotions. Debating his supporters is often nigh impossible - in order to become a supporter you must already lack the abilities that make reasonable debate possible.

I currently use a Kobo Aura HD with updated applications to avoid using the Kobo firmware and its associated silliness (e.g. a long refresh process on every power cycle to re-enumerate my entire collection into their sqlite db.) I have gone through a lot of different e-readers [1] but never a Kindle - the walled garden approach is not for me. This means that I buy ebooks in ePub form from Barnes&Noble, Kobo, Google Play, etc. or read converted pdfs of my former print books.

In general, what I have looked for in an e-reader consists of the largest screen that I can afford (since pdfs don't scale well, IME), a micro sd slot to enable me to copy/sync books as I need it without being on the network, some basic functionality to save book markups, and maybe a web browser.

[1] Some examples: Entourage eDGE (sic), Sony Libre, Sony Readers (PRS-500, PRS-505, PRS-300, etc.), Pocketbook 9.7", B&N Nook Simple Touch (still have it, running Android 2.x rooted).

Edit1: more e-readers.

> You can't assume that the mix is 50-50

I don't assume that it's a 50/50 split. I assume it's somewhere between 0% female to 100% female. And it's a big sample. If a mix of (men and women) doesn't perform somewhere between the all-male and all-female groups, that's a big problem with their hypothesis.

They're saying something equivalent to Group A scores mean 90 and Group B scores mean 95. If you then take a very large set of people that is drawn from Group A and Group B with an unknown proportion and they score mean 85 or 100, that would be fairly devastating to the claim.

I'm not saying that this should be weighted into the main analysis. I'm saying they should test their hypothesis with this.

Oh please. What a load of hogwash. NYT and CNN aren’t perfect but making some kind of comparison to the rantings of a lunatic like Jones is absurd. Get a grip.
Since you don't know the relative mix, including those 25% adds another nuisance parameter but not that much more statistical power, so why bother?
> For that one I wasn't too familiar but quickly looked it up and didn't see anyone claiming success: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Poverty

Think about it. The "War on Poverty" was Lyndon Johnson's campaign to expand Roosevelt's New Deal. Does that sound like something that would prosper under the Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton (consider the congress), and Bush Jr administrations? Unlike the "War on Drugs", which was actually a never-ending boondoggle that received ample bi-partisan and financial support, Johnson's programs were in the political cross-hairs since day one.

In other words, these two programs were failures for very different reasons. The comparison of the "War on Drugs" to the "War on Poverty" is incredibly superficial insofar as the only real thing they have in common are their names.
