The old huge problem with empowerment rears it's ugly head. The problem is that freedom is liberating for the powerful, and a prison for the poor.

For rich women, the ability to enter into these "sponsor relationships" is empowering, enabling them to do more. And as long as they can just end it on short notice, certainly empowering.

For poor women, who would not be able to eat without a sponsor relationship or outright prostitution, the freedom is a prison, effectively convicting them to lifelong sex work.

This would also work in reverse. Zero tolerance for prostitution is liberating for the poor, oppressive for the rich. Not just for women even, if you consider for a little bit what the effect on men is, it is even liberating for men.

For rich men, of course the ability to just buy women without needing to hide anything is liberating. Even for men who just want to have sex without condoms (often very strongly legislated against in outright sex work, and enforced by the women, for health reasons) it is liberating.

The same is true for many other issues that current society can't seem to make it's mind up over. For, example, for many young girls, the "freedom to wear the islamic face veil" is not freedom at all, because their parents have a very strong preference (and feel justified in using violence to get this particular issue settled). And of course that leads to further oppression.

But for women who are already in a position of sufficient power to just do what they want, whatever comes into their mind, a prohibition on face veils would be limiting.

However, in both examples it is only liberty at the expense of others that is achieved. Usually liberty for the powerful, and usually men at that, at the expense of poorer people, mostly women.

But we should allow this ... because Beyonce used it to achieve great status. And that it failed 99.99% of those who tried it ? Oh well ...

And there is the small issue that there are many more women for whom outlawing prostitution is liberating, where even just outlawing or socially punishing sponsorship relationships would at least provide safe sex and there are many more girls for whom a prohibition on face veils would be liberating, where it would provide a way out of a bad family position, an initial concession to "family oppression/values" that their parents would be forced to make. Because there are simply much more poor ...

Tempo Automation | Full-Stack Software Engineer | SF | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://www.tempoautomation.com
Tempo operates a factory in SF to produce printed circuit boards extremely quickly - in doing so, we give our customers the physical equivalent of a fast compiler, enabling them to turn their designs into real products significantly faster than they could before. Our customers build rockets, drones, medical devices, and much more - working at Tempo means you can accelerate all of these industries at once. Providing a system to produce circuit boards quickly and correctly means we're both a software shop and an advanced manufacturer. Our software team is still pretty small (9 engineers) which means any new hires will still have an outsize impact on the direction of our technology, and on the company as a whole. We love hiring strong generalists [python experience highly preferred] who take initiative and act as part-time PMs when they're working on projects. Some projects you might work on: - Offering real-time, automated manufacturing feedback based on certain parameters of our customers' designs. Think linting for hardware.

- Optimizing our factory processes with machine learning and scheduling algorithms.

- Encoding the three-dimensional structure of each order's components (e.g. resistors, capacitors) for our assembly robots, in order to speed up assembly and ensure minimal manufacturing defects.

- Optimizing our automated optical inspection machine to make it faster than any in the industry.

Tech Stack: Python | Django | React | Redux | PostgreSQL | AWS
We're also excited to have just moved into a MUCH larger factory (>4x the floor space) in the design district of SF, which means you'll see that space evolve into an enormous, high-tech manufacturing complex.

I think the difference is that in that case Amazon controls the entire chain. They have the batteries manufactured and plan stock themselves. For market place items on Amazon (which are now most items) someone else just rents a bin in their warehouse, ships stuff to it and gives Amazon a description to show on their website. Amazon in that case is more like Airbnb for goods or a more automated eBay.

It would be interesting to see counterfeit numbers for items sold by Amazon itself vs by someone else on Amazon. Anecdotally I've never had an issue with stuff sold by Amazon itself and steer away from our vendors if possible.

Sadly this is more about Youtube views and has become a huge bummer for me. I started listening to some of these early videos around 9 or 10 years ago and they weren't referred to as ASMR videos at first but rather I'd search for "whisper videos", "soft spoken relaxation videos", and stuff like that.

These typically didn't even show the person who was speaking as you typically listened on headphones while laying down to relax. I found it soothing and they probably triggered some instinctive reaction to non-sexual intimacy and care.

Over the years it's become harder to find videos that soothe and relax me in this way because the "scene" that has developed around ASMR seems to focus on all sorts of weird sounds like tapping on stuff, loud crinkling, rubber gloves, and the absolute worst (for me)...touching the damn mic!

If I'm trying to relax with some soothing, soft voice talking me through some relaxation scenario or just something to zone out on while I fall asleep, the last thing I want to hear is some loud, unexpected sound or brushing on the mic. As someone who has done quite a bit of video and audio production, if someone bumps or touches the mic it's not a good thing and it just kicks me out of whatever relaxing, tingly zone I may have been sinking into.

I understand that a lot of people dig the foley art and sound effects but it seems like now (on youtube at least) it's 95% crinkly, crackly, brushy, tappy, chewing (ugghhh) sounds made right up into a mic by some pretty girl in front of a ring light and a DIY chromakey backdrop. None of this is relaxing or soothing to me and it certainly doesn't trigger any ASMR tingles in me...

...but I'm sure it helps boost those view counts and grab viewer attention when that sexy thumbnail shows up in the Youtube listing.

We make strong recommendations for other things, like telling people not to walk alone in the dark. That's not considered victim blaming.

> IMHO, all employees should get the same amount of time off, regardless of whether or not they have children.

Parents get more time off than non-parents and that's unfair? That's an understandable perspective but here's another one.

1) Children don't get to choose whether to be born. Infants and post-partum women are vulnerable people and giving parents time off helps protect these vulnerable people. Looking at this from the perspective of what's best for the child it's clear that paternal leave is very important.

2) People have a choice of where to work and at least in the US, employers are free to choose compensation that they feel will attract the workers they want. I know several people who have chosen where to work based on paternal leave policies.

3) Life is unfair. If I made a list of injustices in the world an infant spending a few extra weeks with daddy isn't even in the first 1000.

It is interesting.

The thing that makes Americans so very weird is that they are intensely paranoid. They're the most powerful and wealthiest civilization the world as ever known and yet virtually all of them are profoundly afraid. They're not just afraid of foreigners, either -- they're extremely afraid of each other. It's gotten to a point where "Stand Your Ground" laws encourage armed civilians to shoot each other the moment they feel threatened. It's difficult for outsiders to grasp. (I've even spoken to South Africans about this and even they react with disbelief.)

The paranoid style [1] at work here is well documented but I don't think people appreciate the logical conclusion. As the world grows more and more connected Americans will grow more and more paranoid. You'll quickly reach a point where America has no allies: everybody is a threat, everybody is a competitor, everybody is an enemy conspiring against them. Nobody can be trusted. America becomes supremely hostile -- to new ideas, to trade, to dissent, to change. The result, as Nietzsche explained, is a kind of supreme decadence. People withdraw from the world, they retreat into paranoid fantasy, they embrace all manner of nonsense and conspiracy, they despise knowledge, isolation and delusion feed on each other and become all consuming.

In the end it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. The paranoiac develops paranoid technologies. Technologies designed to exclude, filter, hide, deceive, surveil, punish and divide (or "decentralize"). Technologies that are all-consuming, like his own delusions, they must provide rapid and never-ending alerts about new threats and plots, the more the better. Technologies that induce paralysis by leading people deeper and deeper into simulations of reality. Technologies that primarily walls or weapons, ideally both, to protect against the greatest threat of all -- other people.

I might be misunderstanding your point, but Postgresql functions can take (and return) tables:

CREATE FUNCTION fullname(person) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
SELECT $1.firstname || ' ' || $1.lastname
$$ LANGUAGE SQL

Could you go into a more detail wrt using lateral joins with set returning functions? I'm used to using them as a way to "extend" the row with later terms depending on prior terms as you say, but I'm not comprehending the srf case so well (or tbh the results that pop up when I search for "posrgresql set returning function").
Many researchers at the moment happily pay APCs (=Open Access article processing charges) in the several thousands of dollars — this is way more than is required as a minimal cost of editing. In fact, you can easily hire a freelance editor to work on your paper for less. If the process becomes minimally streamlined it could be made very affordable: at the moment, a lot of the work of a journal editor is (intentionally, as well as due to inertia) due to the utter lack of streamlining.

Most of humanity has never been agile, curious and resourceful.

Anthropologists know that ancient hunter gatherers were stronger, fitter, and typically had lower rates of morbidity than us. Which kind of undermines your “agile” and “tame” bit.

I’d also say going from nothing to stone tools counts as quite resourceful, if you ask me. Given that our ancestors had the same basic wiring and larger brains, I’d actually wager on them being more curious and clever than modern humans.

I agree, the tools available now for tinkering are mind boggling! Of course, the other component is the time to spend on learning to use the tools, and for designing stuff to make with them...

With regards to chemistry - a staggering array of chemical supplies can be purchased from the hardware store, druggist, or supermarket; the trick is knowing what common name to look for, to get a particular chemical. Searching online for permutations of what you're looking for, and "household", "MSDS", or "common name" can yield some good results.
And its decoupling now. See: Trade War.
I think the comment you're replying to makes a solid point, still.

If this bug were to appear every 200 years, that's substantially longer than the lifespan of any single airframe currently in existence (and nearly twice as long as the existence of powered flight) -- and if a Dreamliner were to actually survive that long (most likely as a historical artifact doing heritage flights, maybe), doing this kind of reset would just be part of the routine of getting the "old frame" up and running, not unlike timing certain steps of a WWII fighter plane's manually rather than having them done automatically.

Without saying that increasing the width of that variable is the _optimal_ solution, in this case deferring the error leads to safe and predictable operation over the airframe's nominal lifespan.

For what it's worth, quadrupling the variable's width to a int128_t would mean you can store over 10^22 years at nanosecond granularity, effectively future-proofing this bug out of existence, and I'm reasonably sure a modern system should be able to spare 3 extra bytes.

Well usually the difference between open source and proprietary is that the proprietary vendors are slow to fix security issues because it doesn't increase their profit. In some cases they even try to hide the fact that the software is insecure or even sue the person who reported the vulnerability. Meanwhile most OSS software gets fixed as soon as the vulnerability is found.
Why a scam? And why only PLOS but none of the other commercial publishers?

The fashion industry is completely crazy that way. It's not just banana republic. Years ago I worked on a ordering system for a fashion retailer and it was mind-blowing. Orders would be filled on a best-effort basis. You order 1k black M and 1k blue L and you receive 1.5k L white and 500 XXL red for example. So we'd have not only to store the order but also what was received. On top of that the designer might change vendors between orders and now you have different SKUs for what's supposed to be the same product.
Apples to oranges. It has more than 6 times the body to control than us, and lacks the cortices we have.

Our ancestors however had basically the exact same neurological wiring, roughly the same amount of body to control, and even more neurons crammed into their skulls. Hence the theory that they’d be more clever than modern humans.
My big concern is while I was interning in the bay I didn't really like it that much -- it felt like a big suburb to me.

I didn't really get to do much in the city, so most of what I saw of it were sprawling hills of close, run-down housing with the exception of the financial district and SOMA. The city honestly seemed really dirty to me too. Maybe there are parts of it I didn't see?

When I visited Seattle the city seemed clean and full of interesting places to visit. I heard the housing market there is more reasonable, and it just seems more affordable overall. My concern is the weather in the winter, but maybe it isn't that bad?
Interesting that the more expensive router has this problem. I've been really happy with my ER-X, it works great with my internet service (500Mbs up/500Mbs down). I had some speed issues at first but this was solved by upgrading to the latest firmware and making sure hardware offloading was enabled.
