BTW what I miss using KDE and willing to extend it is a concise widget toolkit. I've taken a look at source code of some plasmoids and it seemed quite extraterrestrial to me, certainly not something you can start with quickly and easily so I've ended up using a widget (a "plasmoid") that just displays HTML and serving HTML content to it (and even that widget was not really easy to install).

The money I save from French taxes (I left this year) I can easily afford all manner of insurance plus I get paid a heck of a lot more to save quite a bit of money.

French employment is over 10% and the economy is stagnant. Could it be if you incentivize unemployment you get more of it? It sure seems like that in France. Chronic and intentional unemployment is not unusual in France. And everyone gets to pay for it. Disposable income in France is also significantly less than in the US.

David Koch’s libertarian monthly dislikes policy to get women on boards. Shocker.

If this policy is truly counter-productive wrt its stated aim, I’d be interested to see that in the thoughts of people who have consistently given a damn about female representation on boards.

It’s less convincing when people who bark “regulation is evil” for a living find that “regulation is, once again, evil”.

> I can even connect to the REPL in production

Programming is not my day job, so please correct me if I'm wrong - but every project I was involved in so far - having access to a production DB is a big no no.

Or does the project you refered to not contain any sensitive data, so having direct access to the production system is deemed 'safe'?
Yihui Xie has been an incredible boon for the R & Pandoc ecosystems. Turning your R code into pdf or html is so easy I'm surprised language authors aren't scrambling to copy the feature.
I feel like this is just another step in a series of trends where we use legislation to enforce diversity, to the detriment of everyone involved. Let companies run their business as they please. If they don't want to hire women, they shouldn't have to. You see the same thing with hiring engineers. 50% goal for women engineers but that's not even possible given the current pipeline.

You aren’t paying the top marginal rate unless you make over $600k as a couple or $500k as a single.

Also the top marginal rate is 37%, not 39.5 (Thanks Donny.)

And SALT? Rather than “thanking” Donnie for the reduced deductibility, perhaps complain that they are so high as to exceed the allowable cap in the first place?
I think this is more of a current iteration of BR. I would say BR is a little more generic than this. My idea of it, which might not be exactly right I will admit, is just this: A battle royale game is last-man-standing or winner-take-all. The looting, houses, starting gear -- this all seems like variation more than essential.

It seems like what you're describing is definitely the mainstream take on the genre right now, but I think you could make another variant that isn't like the popular ones today but is still a BR.
Disliking using force to get women on boards != Disliking women on boards.

I guess the argument would be that you look at practices instead of outcomes, but that seems impossibly hard to implement
what ive found works is to /always/ pair a jr with a sr engineer to write any ddoc. 2nd, always assign a specific sr reviewer. only after that review, release the hounds. others that have interest or particular insight can reflect on deficiencies (or, rarely, strengths) without the dread feeling of having to deeply understand the context or underlying dependencies.

same reason you don’t just throw a code review out to “everyone”. everyone = no one
Did Facebook Learn Anything from the Cambridge Analytica Debacle?

I'm curious if this is likely to be struck down as unconstitutional in the California or Federal courts?

Also, why is this an acceptable attempt to address the issue of under represented groups in corporate boards? Should there be similar legislation for ethnic minorities in boards as well. If not, why is gender special in this regard?

For women that are appointed to boards as a consequence of this legislation, would it be unfair to consider those women to be 'diversity hires', and not appointed strictly on merit?

The rolling GUI/LTS underpinning is the unusual thing about KDE Neon. So I'd find a second review after about 6 months and at least one major KDE version update of interest - any glitches? config files need delete/or OK? That kind of thing.

Interpol President Quits; China Says It’s Investigating Him for Illegal Conduct
The proposal is that a poor ratio results in stricter scrutiny, not a penelty. They would still need to investigate and find other evidence of illegal bias.
It would be a pretty delicate line to walk, calling some peoples gender identities fraudulent and others legitimate just because in one case it is more convenient and in another case it takes a lot of courage.

Russian embassy forwards note to UK’s FCO demanding facts about cyber attacks
You've excluded employers national insurance contributions here, which is 13.8% of total pay. That makes the true "main" marginal rate c.44% (20% tax + 12% employee national insurance + 13.8% employers NI / 113.8%).

Most higher earners in e.g. tech or professions will be in the 40% band at least, where the true marginal rate is c.49% (40%+2%+13.8% / 113.8%).

The "top" marginal rate is c.53% (45% tax+2% employee NI+13.8% employer NI / 113.8%) although the highest marginal rate comes between £100k and c.£123k as the personal allowance (bottom 0% band) gets withdrawn making the effective rate (40%+50%x40%+2%+13.8% / 113.8%) = c.65%. (And at the very low end of the scale, as benefits get withdrawn the marginal combined rate of tax and benefit withdrawal is also extremely high).

We don't allow joint filing for married couples which is a significant benefit, especially for single earner couples with high earnings, in the USA.

Then we have mandatory minimum private pension contributions (given these all go into a defined contribution scheme, it's just pay by another name), the apprenticeship levy, etc etc.

Overall, I'd say the UK and "high-tax" parts of the USA (California, New York etc) are similarly taxed at least as far as income is concerned.

Well-Architected Monoliths Are Okay
> We just assume every noteworthy image is fake unless

Who is we? How do you know this? Citation needed. I think it is a very small portion of the population who actively operates under this assumption for photos. I would guess 5-15% but I don't know. Surely it is not most people though, or everyone.

Just because you/your friends do something doesn't mean other people do, or even most people do. I'd guess that for a great number of things that it would often be the opposite for technical people; often the things we do are things most people don't do.

I think people underestimate the coming confusion from video.

> It doesn't lead to much confusion or issues in our everyday life.

I mean, I think it does. I think it leads to massive issues in society where people don't know what is real or not without even knowing it. Magazine photos of people are well-known to be touched-up at a minimum, but how many people in a population actively think about that when the look at the cover?

I would posit that our society has been heavily damaged by the proliferation of fake photos.
I agree. I'd like to see a comparison of stock Brave vs Chrome/Firefox with UBO or some other adblocking extensions configured.

Otherwise, I could say links is a superior browser because it loads pages even faster than Brave.
There is a fundamental unanswered question in the area of gender discrimination, which is whether we can remedy past positive discrimination simply by removing overt discrimination going forward. That presupposes two things:

1) That you can actually get rid of gender bias among corporate boards that are almost entirely men;

2) That the system isn't path dependent (i.e. removing the positive discrimination will result in an outcome that is the same as would have been the outcome if the positive discrimination had never occurred).

Real-world systems are generally path-dependent. If a storm knocks down a fence, the fence doesn't go back to normal after the storm passes. If you bend a paperclip, it will stay bent after you let go.

Taking affirmative action off the table is tantamount to saying that society simply should not fix problems that result from the path-dependent effects of prior discrimination. Now that's debatable, but I don't think either side of that debate is "lazy."

FWIW, I think the California law is probably unconstitutional. (The Constitution doesn't always say what you want it to say!)
Although this is largely correct, there was pushback when that book was published, mostly to do with Hari setting up straw men: https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2018/jan/...

"Now, if your baby dies at 10am, your doctor can diagnose you with a mental illness at 10.01am and start drugging you straight away."

While this is meant as an attack on the modern absence of the “grief exception”, where grief reactions are used to rule out depressive symptoms, it’s at best a staggering exaggeration, at worst an active fabrication to support a narrative. Grief is complex and the medical community is still not agreed on how to deal with it, but the idea that you can be diagnosed with a mental health issue after showing symptoms for one minute is ludicrous. People typically require weeks of symptoms to be officially diagnosed, to suggest otherwise can only damage the perception of medical professionals.

It's a nuanced critique that's worth reading - it's in agreement with a good deal of what Hari writes rather than just being a hatchet job. My take from it (as someone with an MA Honours in experimental psychology and a neuroscience MSc) is that in those parts of the book Hari is criticising outdated practices and opinions in the field that hardly exist any more, if at all.

Having said that, the pharmaceutical industry does have a lot to answer for...
That looks streamlined. I thought the idea of the hyperloop was that it was low vacuum and the front of it was a giant fan to move the remaining air from front to back of the capsule to further reduce friction. Or was that only in the early design and it's been abandoned?

The "right specification" for the work product is deemed what they say it is because they're paying to write the specification. You don't think private prisons' higher rates of inmate infraction (leading to longer time in prison, leading to more money) and the lobbying efforts against rehabilitative services for prisoners isn't directly rooted in The Search For More Money?
Like fake photos, these will be most highly leveraged among the undereducated. Websites like Snopes will probably help serve as an outside point of reference in many cases; however some people are not really open to criticism of whatever is their current mental model and can just as easily see another point of reference as opposition propaganda as reliable analysis. Alex Jones is an example of one with this psychology--he has such a strong trust in his original sensory-experience-analysis-system that you're better off taking other approaches than making a frontal assault on the citadel of this subjective information-interpretation experience, which is so highly knotted up with his sense of self and personal creativity.

Fortunately this kind of lopsided/over-weighted psychological subsystem will never speak to everyone, and humans are as a group becoming more resilient in the face of such imbalance. The internet has in many ways been extremely helpful in serving as a sort of blowoff valve for psychological gifts that have spun out of balance.
Yes, you're right. I've forgotten the command runner isn't a standard feature of other DEs/WMs... As for BlueTooth - I have never managed to make it work - it worked on Ubuntu (although it used to take me ~10 minutes of random switching to make my BT headphones work with it but at least it would always detect them, the problem was setting them up correctly) but doesn't work on Manjaro+KDE at all, fortunately I don't really need it. As for clipboard management - it can be helpful in many cases but in my everyday work it only annoys me as I can't find how to disable clipboard erasure on Kate exit.
Exactly, I was going to write the same thing, although with a small, but perhaps quite important correction:
“You are free to watch him ruin his company, but it is still his company”
Are there any examples of fake photographs being used in this way?

Do fake videos add any more credibility to this kind of misinformation?
Yes, you are correct. Hard to market? On this crazy planet where we market every and anything, tangible and intangible. Methinks not.
In Soviet Russia there were perhaps additional goals for this idea (religion, less integrated familial units, divide and conquer).

But I wonder if a more enlightened society that doesn't have those additional goals could make this work. Perhaps some of the obvious problems can be addressed, or at least ameliorated:

- Shifts could be sharded across families rather than individuals. Individuals seems needlessly granular and disruptive.

- The number of shards could be reduced. With 5 shards, 4/5 potential friends don't share your weekend. But maybe we could have only 2 or 3 shards.

- A single day (e.g. Sunday) could remain a society-wide day of rest.

I think a proposal that included some of the above characteristics along with a shortening of the standard work week (to 35 or 32 hours, perhaps) might be interesting.

I suppose we already have a bottom-up version of this with shift work, but probably there is some small benefit to aligning shifts in a top-down way (i.e. it reduces shards which should increase happiness).
I’m going to have to ask for a citation on photoshopped imaged not being taken seriously. We routinely see people being duped by them on twitter, but it’s even more insidious in the form of Facebook advertisements that aren’t publically shared for people to debunk.

It should be noted that some people don't really want glory or fame, and are perfectly happy just becoming filthy rich. I think of fame, in this age of online mobs, as a curse, a sort of disfigurement that lives in the minds of other people.
The company can just do nothing and meet the quota. Whats easier than doing nothing if one board member happens to take the initiative?
Glad you are ok.

Glad for modern medicine. For all the troublesome aspects of distribution and administration, it is better than nothing, and better now than it was hundereds of years ago.
Tech is not exempt from this. Over the last 15 years, the ethical transgressions of companies like Facebook and Uber were allowed to slide, justified with arguments like "move fast and break things" or "they are just kids" or "making the world a better place". And the tech community by and large enabled it instead of pushing back against the shift.
Chess shows up in popular culture because it’s more popular. Everyone has heard of Chess. You don’t have to explain Chess. If you did have to explain it, its rules and concept are very easy.

Let’s say you expect boards in general to be 50% male/female.

In case where this is not the case, and where it has not been the case for a number of years you might launch an investigation.

It might be that there are reasonable reasons in this instance. For example, the company was cofounded by two women or men, it’s a small company, and the composition of the board has never changed etc.

It might be that the company has a board with frequently changing members, but always selects male members. In that case, it’s easier to argue that discrimination has taken place. At which point you might launch an investigation and apply penalties etc.
George Washington on Native Americans:

"The immediate objects are the total destruction and devastation of their settlements and the capture of as many prisoners of every age and sex as possible. It will be essential to ruin their crops now in the ground and prevent their planting more."

This is part of the scorched earth tactics that resulted in not only the death of millions of natives but the almost extinction of the American Bison, an importance source of food and clothing for many tribes.
I use two spaces for code:

10 Print "Hello"
20 Goto 10

And I use a > and italics for quotes:

> At this point it's become pretty established to use code formatting to quote other users, but it really is a poor solution for that. Lines are not broken correctly and the whole thing is basically unreadable on mobile. Having this very simple feature would greatly improve readability and discussion.

so it has nice linebreaks and it is clear where the quotation ends.

I agree that open source code can be used for purposes you don't like. By using an open source license, you give up control. (But should you retain that sort of control over everything you do? I'm unconvinced.)

I don't believe that ethical thinking has to be all or nothing. Not taking some projects makes them a bit harder and more expensive to recruit for and helps you sleep better at night, if that's the sort of thing that bothers you. Not paying your taxes is something you can go to jail for, which seems like a bad trade.
