Due to path dependency of history it's silly to look at proposed policies in an idealized world (or in a vacuum as physicists would say).

So the question becomes who much unfairness is now due to the past practices (the past negative discrimination of women), and can that be corrected through giving some kind of advantage to women?

Maybe the answer is that none at all, because people will just think that every women founder is just there because of the gratis advantage.

Or maybe it'll really help push a lot of women toward entrepreneurship and the market won't look at how they started.

I bet Stripe did a lot of discussion about this and they are at least somewhat better informed than us. (And since Atlas is available internationally it could help a lot of women to break out of their respective seemingly hopeless situation - 500 USD is worth a lot in quite a few places in the world.)

I'll attempt to list some major points:
- TOML keys are alphanumeric, in eno they allow the full unicode range
- In eno there are no inline syntax constructs like in TOML, this is simpler although sometimes more verbose
- TOML has fixed types and type syntax rules on the language level, eno has arbitrary application-defined types
- TOML is designed for completely generic de/serialization (through fixed types), eno relies on domain-specific serialization

There are also (maybe even more) important paradigmatic differences concerning how the parser APIs differ, and also need to differ, given the different typing approach in TOML vs. eno, but I'll limit this to the language points for brevity here. :)

Generally speaking - the higher the volume of content/configuration/data there is in a given application or the more it is relevant that the application is also accessible and easily usable for users without a technical background or the more your data and types are application specific and possibly exotic, the more I would recommend eno.

On the other hand, the more generic your data (especially the more it requires generic serialization), the more it is shared by myriads of different applications, the more it is handled by a very technical audience, the more I would recommend TOML.
They wait for the right opportunity to come along and pounce. You appear to know very little about how they operate.

From a relatively short glance, I don't see any mention of what problem this is trying to solve. Data interchange? Storage? Consumption/production?

I see some excitingly magical looking type "inference" happening though. That ruby code is sure that the value associated with Malaga is a lat/long pair is it? Not a temperature range, etc.? So, some very optimistic approach to types, no real way to validate content, and some quirky looking syntax (<key>: <value>, but also #<section>\n<key>: <value> apparently? If I have more than two levels?)

I'm not sure what this is for. I am pretty sure that those people using it are going to run up against a whole thrilling raft of edge cases...
Masters degrees in particular vary a huge amount. When I got one of mine (in engineering but not CS), it was a couple of years including writing a thesis which included significant original research. Yet I know people, including from top-tier schools, whose Masters was a 1 year program of mostly just classroom.

You can "follow" accounts without becoming a follower in normal mode too. I frequently do this just to keep timelines clear.

All you have to do is add an account to a private list (without following them) and then view the timeline for that list. I really only ever interact with Twitter through Tweetbot (tear today!) or Tweetdeck, so I have one list I call "The Group" that is a highly curated list of folks I actually want to see stuff from, and a few other lists of accounts that are intermittently interesting but that I don't need to actually follow.

Because following an account is akin to an endorsement or at least a weak association in a way, this method is also interesting when it would be useful to stay updated with an account without strictly associating it. (Some will immediately think of political accounts or counter-culture accounts; I actually use it when following companies that I might need to see news from like my utility but that I don't want to say "Hey spam me with your PR!")

I initially had that reaction but then remembered the initiative Facebook has to provide "internet" to impoverished places (basically just a portal to Facebook). And it's not just other countries—most of my non-technical friends do not browse news aggregators where they are exposed to multiple new sources (it's amazing how many blogs and smaller sites I've found because of HN and reddit).
Considering reduction of pesticide use and exposure is one of the main objectives of the organic movement, which has been developing for over 60 years now - it would be a hopeless situation if it resulted in "just as much, if not more, pesticides".

Do you have any substantial sources for such a tragic claim?

For example here[1] is an EU funded meta-review from 2014 which finds:
" the frequency of occurrence of pesticide residues was found to be four times higher in conventional crops, which also contained significantly higher concentrations of the toxic metal Cd. "

I personally have some faith that professional scrutiny involved in developing organic standards, selects the permissible pesticides with some insight and success. Not without possibility of some errors - to which the national and international trading standards are also susceptible, however the organic standards are a refined subset of those protections.

Sorry, I could have been more clear, and kthejoker explained it better (I think). If you use the primary definition, the question makes sense. If you use definitions like 'nonexistent,' the question doesn't make sense. The question basically asks you to infer that it means only existing in your imagination. It's too ambiguous for my taste - for no good reason.
These overdoses happen because society is not educated about the risks of combining opioids with alcohol and the illegal drug supply is unregulated. Imaging if beer all tasted the same but ranged from 2%-95%; 12 oz of pure alcohol would kill quit a few people.

Yes, many people will take the largest script the doctor will prescribe. Insurance generally helps cover the cost of the prescription, so reselling them can be really lucrative. Even in your scenario, 25 pills seems like a lot. Many people will be totally pain free in 2-3 days. No one needs 8 pills a day for wisdom teeth. Let's say they take 4 a day for 3 days, that's still 13 pills leftover.

Go to any manual labor job (construction for example) in the Midwest. You will find people wanting to buy leftover prescriptions and people selling them. It's a pretty large black market. The vast, vast majority of people I know doing construction, laying asphalt, etc are all daily drinkers, potheads, or addicted to opiates. It's honestly super depressing.
The chain of addiction is started through regulated pharma. Most of these deaths are not from Oxy but all opioids.

People addicted to Oxy find it's cheaper to buy unregulated opioids that vary in potency. The overdoses happen because prohibition ensures their street supplied drugs are Unregulated.

yes "this is typical Torvalds", but to me the tone suggests his personality is still stuck in the mid/early 90ies.

Also nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, but I'd expect at least some fresh jokes, because the Monty Python references were already old back then.

The encouraging of egg freezing is a cynical play.

It’s offering young women a way to put what they want on hold, and few understand the risks. IVF success rates start nosediving at 40, and implode depending on different risk and health factors.

End of the day, it’s better, cheaper and lower risk for everyone to be in healthy relationships and have kids in their 20s-30s. Sacrificing that to generate more shareholder value is gross. Having been through something like 15 fertility procedures, I wouldn’t recommend the process to anyone who can do it the fun way.
They want people to use this, so it makes to do it in a place where there are actually people, and an incentive for those people to choose this form of transport over others, like driving.

Your examples are completely different. Eating a crappy diet now has very well-known, basically deterministic consequences. Ditto for drinking too much or burning oil or blowing all your money. There's no question what will happen if you do these things.

Most of the complaints around big companies seem to be around things they might do (e.g. Amazon could gain monopoly power and raise prices to exorbitant levels) but haven't yet done, and could easily end up never doing.
> what is causing overdoses?

overdoses can happen in many ways. sometimes it is genuine user error; ie, the person goes overboard and simply takes too much, or they don't properly account for the drop in tolerance after a period of abstinence.

> most are acquired through medical prescription

this might be true overall, but i'm not sure it's true of illegal/abusive use of the drugs. i can't easily find precise numbers, but prescription drugs appear to account for less than half of total opioid overdose deaths [1].

this brings us to the next (and as far as i can tell, primary) cause of overdose deaths: variance in purity. the purity of heroin varies wildly, anywhere from 10-60% strength on the street. add fentanyl hotspots to the mix, and suddenly addicts are overdosing on what they consider conservative "tester" doses.

I disagree. Nations are kind of arbitrary from this perspective. Physics doesn't care about the lines we put on our maps.

Per capita is better, but the best statistic is probably per capita weighted by GDP per capita and other indices of development. This would show the most efficient countries that are getting the most value for the least emissions.

Here's a pure GDP list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ratio_of_...

The top ones seem like they could be outliers due to some distorting economic effect (e.g. huge exports and low per capita GDP) but among them you have the familiar European nations that are often cited as models of good governance: Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, etc. The USA is toward the middle of the pack. China is near the bottom.

This matters more because it shows the politically reasonable path that we might take, and because more development usually correlates with lower birth rates. Any path that reduces development will tend to increase birth rates, negating any benefit. The development / birth rate correlation holds across cultures, religions, and ethnic groups. (I find the fact that it holds even in majority conservative Muslim and Catholic countries surprising, but it does.)
It seemed like you were trying to correct my comment, but everything you said seemed to support what I was saying, so I thought maybe you were trying to continue the initial discussion... I guess not.

With regards to the comment then: the range downshifting you mentioned is merely a step in the encoding process though -- the code point is still whatever it was. If you read parent comment, it had claimed that, in a surrogate pair, each of the 2 code units encodes 10 bits of the code point... but that would be missing 1 bit when the code points need 21 bits to be represented. That's all I was saying there. The extra bit indicating that it's in fact a surrogate pair isn't some kind of implicit dummy bit that you can pretend isn't encoding anything -- if it wasn't there then clearly it wouldn't be encoding the code point for a surrogate pair anymore.

In the language design phase this was heavily inspired by markdown, because of the already widely familiar concept of 'headings' - I collected feedback from users that (although they showed considerable anxiety given the prospect that they were to use text files to edit their content in the future instead of a fancy web interface) they found working with markdown (quote) "super easy", so markdown was therefore an influential factor for some aspects of the language design. :)

This is very true. It is part why I say "engaged" so much. But I think it depends on the material you are studying. In HOW you are engaged. In math, engaged can be doing problems and finding out what the equations mean in a meaningful way. If you're trying to memorize words, engaged can mean concentrating on the image or trying to make mnemonics.

I guess at some value of money the best way is to just create a hedge fund, and put your riches into diversified instruments. Sure it won't give you exponentially increasing riches, but at least you will likely see a percent or two worth returns above inflation. And given how big the money would be, it would workout just fine.

Also its just plain scary how much money one can lose and quickly.

> Housing is not a legitimate complaint (everyone doesn't live in NYC, LA, Seattle and SF). The median US costs on rent and housing are lower than any comparable disposable income nation, and you get far larger accomodations (space) in the US than the other nations.

I don't think this is accurate. Maybe it used to be, but not anymore. For example, Numbeo says:

> Rent in Germany is 30.85% lower than in United States (average data for all cities).

It would be better to find more official data, but I wasn't able to find anything for Germany.

> Education is not a legitimate complaint. The US is overflowing with modestly priced, high quality in-state university choices, including quite affordable state schools. If you spend $160,000 on a shit paying degree from a tier two school for no good reason, that's on you. You don't get to bitch about doing something that dumb when you could have gotten the exact same degree for $40,000 and paid for half of it with a part-time job over four years.

$40,000 for four years of education + living expenses? Do you think students are living out of garbage cans? $10,000/year will probably cover in-state tuition + books/fees/etc., sure, and what do you think is a reasonable cost for housing, food, transportation, etc. for a student?
