A fact is not offensive, but can be used offensively in an offensive argument. By some school of logic - so I learned recently but forgot what school that was - an argument consists at least of premises and conclusion. If the premises is underspecified, the conclusion can be wrong even if the premises is factual. That is, the correlation suggested by the data might not lead to the conclusion when more data is considered. The fallacy here might be post hoc ergo propter hoc (a term I also learned only recently).

He was basically arguing outside of his field of expertise. I'm not inclined toward gender studies either, but if addressing their conclusions, that women are confronted with unintentional bias, then that argument needs to be taken up. The career argument is the premises, not the conclusion.

Edit: If there is a bias, that would necessarily show up in statistics. Even if the initial data point doesn't show that bias. If there are two data points, one showing bias, one not, that's simply not enough to draw a conclusion either way. A physicist should know that. Anecdotal evidence of course does not count as additional data point.
Like I said, I'm well aware.

There's also an established history of voter ID laws in other countries not being used to suppress votes. This isn't a hypothetical, either.

From which directly follows that voter ID is not racist. The right-wing politics around voter ID in US specifically is racist. If lefties keep letting right-wing own the subject, then that's all it'll ever be. But it doesn't have to be that way.

I mean, _just_ basing your impression off of the name is not going to get you very far. As a first impression, sure, but if a bunch of comments are saying they really like it, maybe it's worth doing a bit more exploration.

And AI is commonly-used as basically a synonym for Machine Learning in the ML community. Yes, the word has multiple definitions and connotations, and some people prefer to avoid using the term AI at all because of that. But that doesn't meant that someone using the term AI to refer to ML is wrong or up to something.

Furthermore, just because non-legitimate organizations want to ride the hype train, it doesn't mean legitimate ones shouldn't benefit from that effect as well. fast.ai is an organization actually writing software for doing machine learning, as opposed to a completely unrelated company (like an electric toothbrush company) claiming their latest product "uses AI" whatever that means.

The funniest part is that the slogan for fast.ai "Making neural nets uncool again". If that isn't explicitly going against the hype and saying this is _actual_ neural nets and not just fluff, then I don't know what is.

This comment seems pedantic, disingenuous, and perhaps misleading all at once.

By the average American I meant "a typical American," which is admittedly a murky term, but I doubt most people would take this to mean the literal mathematical average.

I'm a little surprised to see that the median wealth per adult in the US is $55K. It sounds high. Does the Credit Suisse report the Wikipedia article is based on define wealth to mean actual net worth, as in assets minus liabilities?

I think the average American household has around $100K in debt. You can lawyer those words all you want, none of it will change the fact that ordinary people have a lot less money than Elon, and are hit harder by a traffic ticket than he is by this fine.

I think that when you made this reply you weren't making a good faith effort to understand my point. Cherry-picked pedantry of this sort doesn't advance the discussion of the larger issues.

I migrated all of my services to k8s in the last ~6 months. The biggest hurdle was the development environment (testing and deployment pipelines). I ended up with a homebrewn strategy which happens to work really well.

# Local development / testing

I use "minikube" for developing and testing each service locally. I use a micro service architecture in which each service can be tested in isolation. If all tests pass, I create a Helm Chart with a new version for the service and push it to a private Helm Repo. This allows for fast dev/test cycles.

These are the tasks that I run from a "build" script:

* install: Install the service in your minikube cluster

* delete: Delete the service from your minikube cluster

* build: Build all artifacts, docker images, helm charts, etc.

* test: Restart pods in minikube cluster and run tests.

* deploy: Push Helm Chart / Docker images to private registry.

This fits in a 200 LOC Python script. The script relies on a library though, which contains most of the code that does the heavy lifting. I use that lib for for all micro-services which I deploy to k8s.

# Testing in a dev cluster

If local testing succeeds, I proceed testing the service in a dev cluster. The dev cluster is a (temporary) clone of the production cluster, running services with a domain-prefix (e.g. dev123.foo.com, dev-peter.foo.com). You can clone data from the production cluster via volume snapshots if you need. If you have multiple people in your org, each person could spawn their own dev clusters e.g. dev-peter.foo.com, dev-sarah.foo.com.

I install the new version of the micro-service in the dev-cluster via `helm install` and start testing.

These are the steps that need automation for cloning the prod cluster:

* Register nodes and spawn clean k8s cluster.

* Create prefixed subdomains and link them to the k8s master.

* Create new storage volumes or clone those from the production cluster or somewhere else.

* Update the domains and the volume IDs and run all cluster configs.

I haven't automated all of these steps, since I don't need to spawn new dev clusters too often. It takes about 20 minutes to clone an entire cluster, including 10 minutes of waiting for the nodes to come up. I'm going to automate most of this soon.

# Deploy in prod cluster

If the above tests pass I run `helm upgrade` for the service in the production cluster.

This works really well.
And an it’s that should be an its. This was hard to read.
The given number of 46.5 Gly is actually the radius, not the diameter. This can be larger than the age of the universe times the speed of light because the universe expands, i.e. while the light was traveling towards us the point of emission expanded away from us. So 46.5 Gly is the distance to the point of emission today but when the light we observe today was emitted there 13.8 billion years ago the distance was much smaller. Also note that the expansion of the universe is not limited to the speed of light because it is space itself expanding and not something moving through space which in turn means that there is no limit to the speed at which the point of emission can expand away from us.

Yes, the GPLv3 license is applied to both the core generator and the generated code.

Copyleft is quite appropriate for simulations: they are all software, and the user is not likely to "convey" that software to another. Even if he chose to do so, Verilator is open source so this is both possible and quite appropriate. Hence the copyleft is appropriate.

Copyleft also works nicely for students, for whom the design is not "conveyed" outside of the university or the sponsor paying for the work.

The copyleft also allows you to convey it to another in source code form. Here again, there is no problem.

Beyond that, let me say that if the terms are not sufficient for you, or if you would rather it be released under a different license, I would be happy to engage in a negotiation off-line with any business who would want it released to them or others under a different license.
Sure, but you didn't answer the question. Even if Hamas and even Gaza are totally Israel's fault, the fact that Hamas wants to destroy Israel makes some of Israel's actions pretty damn rational. What else can they do? "Shit, we pushed these Palestinians way too hard for way too long. Fair enough, they can bomb the shit out of our country now".

All that said, I'm not invested in the matter, and I'm a geopolitics noob, but I wonder what would happen if Israel would, unprovoked and unilaterally, drop all restrictions, recognize Palestina as a country and supply as much financial aid as is needed to rebuild the place. Just overnight. Wouldn't Hamas's support crumble instantly? Wouldn't the atmosphere be exactly like when they took down the Berlin wall?

I mean, would Palestinian combatants truly use the newly opened borders to immediately drive into Tel Aviv and shoot everybody? Tbh I don't see it.
Are you suggesting that the border with Egypt should allow smuggling? The point is that it is a border with Egypt, not Israel. Goods can (and do) enter from there.
Voting is not a fundamental right like by definition, because only citizens have it. Fundamental rights are those that all persons have, innately, by virtue of being a person. Voting is a civic right of citizens.

Furthermore, in US specifically, right to vote is not even a guaranteed right for citizens - there's nowhere in the constitution that says a citizen has an inherent right to vote. There are various amendments that prohibit the government from discriminating based on certain traits (gender, race, age, poll tax etc); but none of them are a blanket grant of the right. This is why the states can prohibit felons from voting, for example, and why the criteria for that are so drastically different between them.

Now, personally, I think this is not a good idea, and every citizen should have an unconditional right to vote that can only be stripped with citizenship. But you insist that we talk about US as it is - and that is how it is.

The way you implement voter ID such that South can't abuse it is by using the constitutional power of Congress to set uniform rules for all congressional elections in the country. Since citizenship is a federal matter, it follows that voter eligibility as it pertains to citizens and non-citizens is also a federal matter, and should be set on the appropriate level. It would completely preempt any state legislation on this, solving the problem once and for all. This also means that the feds should be required to issue an ID that is sufficient to vote to any citizen who asks for one, at no cost to the citizen, and with minimal hassle - ideally, automatically - same as every other government in the world does.

And I disagree that symbols don't matter. The right to vote is valuable in part because of its exclusivity - not everybody has it. If you're unwilling to protect that exclusivity, even symbolically, that diminishes the right.
Most of the reviews of the Pentax fifties contain words to the effect that they aren't super sharp around the edges of the frame wide open, but that they sharpen up by f/2. I don't have any background in optics, but I've operated under the assumption that most lenses at full aperture necessarily compromise some resolution for speed, meaning you have the same loss of resolution with a 28mm or 35mm lens at full aperture. Are other focal lengths of different designs where this doesn't hold true?

Do modern sensors have enough more resolution than film that they show the loss of sharpness in the lens at smaller apertures? I'm curious because I'll be looking for a (used) DSLR body at some point in the next few years. At least in the Pentax world, most of the commentary about old lenses on new bodies centers around the lack of the mechanical aperture coupling on the newer bodies, and the compromises stemming from that (stop-down metering, mostly).
woah woah woah, calm down. That sounds like... socialism...

If you are getting money for not working because you automated your job away, good for you. But you should be aware that your company will likely not survive very long because it is being mismanaged. Chances are that it has smarter competitors already. Usually it is just a matter of time before the shit hits the fan.

So, you might want to consider using your time preparing for that eventuality. E.g. spend some time learning new stuff or jump ship to a better company.

You almost had to, because both Z80 and x86 processors have a laughably small number of general purpose registers. To write code which works along that limitation would have required lots of care and cleverness, far more than on UltraSPARC and MC68000.

The biggest problem of most APS-C cameras is, that that they use the mount and the lenses made for 35mm. Of course, the 50mm equivalent for any format is usually the easiest lens to make cheap and good. A good 35mm equivalent starts getting more expensive.

This problem doesn't exist with a system, where all lenses are matched to the sensor size. This becomes very apparent with mFT: the 25mm, like the Olympus 25/1.8 are stunningly good for a very reasonable price.
