So there is an extent to which I'm sympathetic to what you've written here. I do think that feminists (and I consider myself to be a feminist) are often dogmatic and not open to discussion or criticism. There is reason for this, namely that they are trying to protect groups (such as women and racial minorities) whose voices have traditionally been ignored, and thus there is a tendency to err on the side of favouring the opinions of these groups over other groups. I think there are positives and negatives to this, but it can be dogmatic.

However, I think you need to consider what you're saying:

> It does not look good for a woman to give orders. She should try not to get into such positions if she wants to retain female qualities.

Are you saying that women should not be in positions of power?

That quote also talks about "female qualities". And I think you should consider that many women are not very feminine, and many men are not very masculine. And to my mind there is no reason why those people should be constrained to act in a certain way just because of their gender. If you think that they should, then I'd be interested to hear why...

Gainesville, Florida has low cost of living and the University of Florida.

You're within what the eastern seaboard considers "A commute" of three major metropolitan areas: Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando.

It's about as far away from the ocean as you can get in Florida, which decreases the hurricane risk.
Shame about that complete lack of argument in my deleted thread.
If there is one thing western, read US, European, Japanese and Korean, car makers don't compromise it is safety. They might cheat (some of them are real frauds) on emissions. Safety on the other hand is simply to important and to thoroughly conzrolled for that. There is post on thus thread explainingvthe mechanical design side of things pretty well.
Exactly because Android has a standard desktop stack in form its Frameworks, and the NDK only exposes Android native APIs, ISO C and C++ libraries, nothing Linux specific.

ChromeOS as well, in this case by standardizing on the Web Platform as user space APIs.

If Google plans for Fuchsia really come to fruition, that incident will be another footnote on Linux's desktop presence.
A python byte sequence (the b"file" in the example) is not necessarily a string that is using the lower ascii characters, it's an arbitrary sequence of arbitrary (not only <127) bytes - the equality operation comparing a string with a sequence of bytes needs to be well defined for all possible byte sequences, including non-ascii (byte)strings like b'\xe2\xe8\xe7\xef' which decodes to different strings in different ANSI encodings (and bytestring data does not include any assumption about the encoding - especially if you just received those bytes over the network or read them from a file), and is not valid UTF-8.

Furthermore, even for ascii sequences like b"file" the bytes do not map to the string "file" in every Unicode encoding - for example, in UTF-16 the bytes of b"file" represent "楦敬", which is a bit different than "file".

Woah, so much hate for Delhi !

I personally like the weathers in Delhi , there is a good variety of seasons in Delhi. Winters are my favourite part of Delhi weather. Some people like changing seasons and some people like a particular weather.

The safety aspect is a bit blown out of proportion tbh. Statistically Delhi doesn't fare any worse than any modern city. United States has above 5x the number of reported rapes compared to India even though it has a much lesser population.

Well OP was looking for something out of SFO, salaries in europe are pretty much comparable to what you'd get in top tier companies in India. SFO is hard to beat even within the US itself. But the high cost of living in SFO means that you can easily save more while working in India while leading a compareable(if not better) life.
Parts of San Jose are equally bad now. But the homeless camps there are mostly along the Guadalupe River where tourists and residents don't typically visit. Out of sight, out of mind.
Also, they reserve the right to change this in the future - just like they've always done. FB is pretty good at bait and switch.
Safety doesn't scale (well it does, but it scales linearly, meaning it doesn't get much cheaper at scale). It might cost Tesla a grand or two per car for all the metal they throw at the safety problem. That's less than a quarter million per quarter for them. Trimming that fat looks a lot more attractive to a company like GM that's shipping a quarter million cars per quarter because not over building things is a multi-million quarterly savings for them
It seems to me that by rejecting the idea that merit is important, these projects will decay and devolve into irrelevance. The problem is that even the Linux kernel itself has been infected with this memetic cancer.

I would suggest it's time to re-read "1984", because real life is rushing towards imitating it, and it's not just the government. Newspeak and doublethink are rapidly infecting many corporations.
Hi Chris, how are you!? It's been a while man. We've definitely dug into it a lot deeper than last time you worked on it. As you say, once you get how the models work it sticks with you :)

This reply goes back to the general sentiment I have a problem with: That things have to be as bad as in Russia, China or Turkey for people to take action.

You realize that if they get this bad, it's too late to take action, right?

Here's the same logic, applied to a different field: "Oh, yes, you keep talking about climate change but I only see mild temperature increases and I'm not even sure they're man-made. I don't see the sea level rise and catastrophic outcomes you're talking about. If we start seeing those, we'll take action."

It'll be too late.
The only time I ever hear it is from SJWs talking about how we shouldn't value open source contributors on their merit, but we should instead somehow ascertain their race and treat them differently according to it.
Wow dude, way to misread the Hannah Arendt quote. You MRA's are priceless.

Also, 'progessive forces'. Yes, we're all part of a shadowy cult trying to stop you saying stupid shit. Can't be very good at it though, given you all seem to be free as ever to do just that...
> Public transit sucks.

There is a light rail/trolley line from downtown into the South Hills area. It's great if you live next to it or can get to a park & ride. I hit it on the weekends to bike the trails along the rivers downtown. I haven't used the buses much, but the few times I've needed them, they weren't bad.

The thing that makes Pittsburgh traffic bad is the topography. Outside of downtown, nothing is a grid, and you'll likely have to go through a tunnel. Not only are they narrow (2 lanes in each direction), everyone seems to practically stop for them.
Pick the Largest Number
I feel like the default should be "this person is mentally unstable and might have a weapon" instead of "this person is a potential enemy combatant". Then again, the whole justice system could use an update in that direction.
It does indeed appear to have been a very smart choice for Lisbon, but that does not address the question of whether this was the main reason for the location selection.
Postcards from Lambda  the Edge
I personally long for a word that conveys a person’s ability to demonstrate competence and expertise and commitment separate from

We have a word for that: "meritocracy". The fact that we may have failed to achieve this fully doesn't mean we should throw out the word.

By the Mozilla logic, we should also throw out "democracy" because our government(s) have failed to include all stakeholders; throw out "feminism" because a few of them have demonstrated that they're anti-male rather than pro-female; "education" because we've so badly failed to properly educate our youth (and adults!).

Really, pretty much everything we've set as a goal for ourselves, we've failed to achieve in its entirety: such is the nature of goals. But those lapses are just further goals for us to cover. Throwing up our hands and changing the goal posts, or at least how we reference the goal posts, isn't going to get us any closer to them, and seems more likely to confuse the issue, taking us at least somewhat farther away.
If you’re looking for like-minded people and a support group, /r/leaves and /r/petioles are good subreddits to check out.

Yeah, how dare we promote people based on whether or not they are good at what they do.
A couple of years ago I played with xlwings, but found it too slow for our usecase (a few cells modified per second) plus we found the Windows requirement quite onerous.

I wound up reading/writing our spreadsheets in pure Python -- we used xlwt which doesn't support xlsx, so I'd probably consider using openpyxl these days.

(Specifically we were selecting parts of spreadsheets based on row/column headers inside the spreadsheet even if they weren't in the first row/column or there were multiple tables per tab; if this sounds useful to you check out https://github.com/sensiblecodeio/xypath )

Worse. No matter how good they do they can't do better because they're smaller cars with less availible space that can be converted into time spent decelerating in a crash. Crumple zone size is a high school physics problem. More distance -> more time -> less acceleration -> less force
I was interested what wrong could be perpetrated here. The key reason given is,

> The notion of “meritocracy” can often obscure bias and can help perpetuate a dominant culture.

The link at Atlantic is dead at the moment but it's on wayback[0]. Atlantic asserts that you can't use performance as an objective metric because, in practice, when all other things equal, they are still observing discrimination.

I don't know what to think any more. I would like an objective measurement but I don't know if the data support it.

Meritocracy comes down to "Who deems someone worthy of merit?". Who or what makes the consideration? Is it done in a fair and impartial manner, or is the word "Meritocracy" used as a tool to further disenfranchise people out of the 'in group'?

If you dig in further, past the simple buzzword, its a method of distributed control of power, controlling social acceptance and shrouding it as "merit".

What does "Meritocracy" come down to? Turns out women don't get 'merit'. They get 'social media' positions. They get the fuzzy fluffy jobs because that's all they're good for, regarding merit. Similar with African Americans. Pidgeonholed, natch. Older people, same - seriously they 'just can't keep up!'.

I read the Hacker Manifesto back in '89. I accepted it. I lived it. And as much as I wanted to accept "that we're all alike", Real Names and similar forced policies to disclose identity have poisoned this back to racism, sexism, nationalism, and ageism. I don't like it, and I don't like whatever pretty glitzy name is given to do this round of demeaning and ostracization.

A bit off topic, but I've never seen "fractal" and "chaotic" conjoined before. If you feel like expanding on that I'd be all ears.
Shouldn’t be better if we made meritocracy still valid and fight with biased opinions and decisions? Statements claiming that meritocracy induces biased behaviour will result in a huge backlash :(
I didn’t say all pot smokers fail.
It's just a heavily commercial area. Parking is expensive compared to the cost of living (~$400-500/mo for a garage downtown with no access restrictions which will probably be close to or maybe more than half your rent) and that coupled with the lack of services just makes it very hard to make the case for moving downtown. Even if the services came in, you would still absolutely need a vehicle to survive so when you compare downtown to a 30-45 minute rush hour commute it's a hard sell for sure.
FPGA still has some advantages over ASIC development:

- development speed of FPGA over the typical ASIC lifecycle is much shorter

- the ability to field-program and correct a design flaw can not only save expensive iterations, but also to add new hardware features essentially as a "firmware" upgrade (provided the FPGA in the system has extra capacity)

There will always be a place for ASIC, but FPGAs provide some capabilities that are not available (impossible?) for ASIC.

Happy to chat about what it's like to live in Montreal if anyone's curious.
Here's a few anecdotes:

My wife and I on multiple occasions on the red line, or in the South Loop, River North, or museum campus, during the daytime no less, have suffered probably two dozen verbal attacks purely on the basis of race. My most memorable attack was: "die, you white ass cracka ass mf* piece of s*!"

I've been everywhere between Hyde Park and Wilmette, and lakefront to Oak Park, and the racial tension is real. Viewing Chicago through blue colored glasses does a great disservice to a city that has struggled with unbelievable racism for the last 70 years.
Unless you say what you were looking for then your comment is just "I don't like it", which is not helpful.
Unfortunately, I have to agree. The product does actually look pretty awesome.

It is comparatively cheap compared to SF, London, NYC and Sydney though...

Everything is relative. Personally I find it a very affordable place to live for a number of reasons:

1. I don't need a car (~$10kAUD+ a year) because transport is sufficient.
2. Queen Vic and South Melbourne markets are very accessible which make buying fresh ingredients for home cooking very affordable.
3. Entertainment is cheap, tons of cheap live music acts, art exhibitions, markets, etc.
4. Public transport is cheap (~$20/month, more if you don't live in CBD though)
5. AUD is declining against USD, by mid-2019 it's likely to be around 0.65 USD so if you make USD it's great.
6. Rent is relatively affordable. ~$1600AUD/month get you a 1 bed place in the CBD.

Those are just the money factors.
As I said, it's not "cheap" but it's "relatively affordable" meaning that you can buy an awesome life here with a bit more money than traditionally cheap places but achieve a better $/Quality of Life metric.
Android is all about their version of Java, the NDK is there only as helping hand for implementing native methods, importing code from other platforms, audio and 3D graphics.

Brillo was supposed to be Android with userspace C++ for IoT, until it got rebooted as Android Things, having features that regular Android still lacks, like userspace drivers in Java[0].

Which is understandable from the point of view of security, but also shows how the actual kernel is mostly an implementation detail for the large majority of app developers.

I completely agree with you that agriculture will be changed in some areas, but I'd like to know why you think it might become literally impossible in some areas. The big change will not be in the temperature, but in water supply. But irrigation is a quite well explored technology and how we can have thriving countries setup in the middle of literal deserts, though often in today's global world nations optimize for what's easiest and import as necessary instead of going through the effort to ensure self sufficiency.

WebRTC afaik uses SCTP wrapped in UDP, not SCTP directly.
I guess I would expect something more like massively distributed erasure encodings rather than ZFS directly. For example something like Dropbox’s magic pocket but taken to extremes with, say, 100 data stripes and 20 parity stripes, all on different machines.
Yeah, that’s why the cold places are cheaper. The benefit is that a certain kind of person stays out of there. The best way to describe it is people who don’t have their shit together. In a place where not dressing for the weather can be a fatal mistake, there isn’t room for fuckups.
I have to know .. any chance the name was inspired by Alan Kay? :]
There are two interesting parts to reading code.

- Working out what it actually does, and why

- Working out why somebody *wrote it in that way*

The former is usually not too bad. Occasionally there will be a comment to help with the latter (although rarely ime). The latter is basically impossible. I can ask 3 other devs, they'll all disagree. Some like the style, some hate it. Each will complain about different aspects, and none of them would write it quite the same for ~reasons~

Maybe it's just me vOv
Any compelling reason to use this vs FaceTime or what ever android users use for video chat?

Importance is largely a question of what happens after.

What we don't have is clusters as distinct from eachother as Neanderthals/Sapiens. Even within the sapiens cluster, there were more distinct sub clusters then than now. But, sure.. clusters still exist. My family are more closely related to eachother than to yours.
It's a shame, as disagreeing that this type of publicity stunt will actually help diversity and equality means to some type of people that you are against equality..

One database runs one model (multiple databases can be connected to each other via interfaces). One transaction can update any number of properties, collections, etc.
No.

I'm pointing out an advantage in putting the exploit into the supply chain as late as possible, such that it can be selected for based on customer.

Compromising the motherboard may be a good approach if the boards have some amount of customisation for each customer.
> The danger of being shot every time they get a call to a scene is very real... In a country where everybody can own a gun there is a real fear of getting shot. The only worse profession is to be in the army.

Police officers aren't even in the top ten most dangerous professions [1]. They rank far under such notoriously dangerous jobs as "Grounds Maintenance Workers". According to that source, the BLS, "Police officers incurred 51 homicides in 2016". That's not nothing, but let's not blow it out of proportion to push our views.

Additionally, if a police officer can't handle the stress of a potential threat inherent in their job without killing citizens, they're not qualified to do their job. You mentioned being in the Army being a worse threat than being a police officer. How are Army personnel handled when they are involved in an unjustified shooting?

No, you learn about servicing things in space. If we are to ever send humans far from earth (mars perhaps) they need to have the ability to service their craft should something break. If a satellite breaks in space sending a new one is probably the most cost effective thing to do. However I have a moral problem with the idea that humans sent to mars would be told to die if something goes wrong. That means the ability to repair the things that go wrong.
I came here to recommend the same. I moved from the RTP area to SV a couple years ago and my family were very happy in NC. Among other things, we sold our 4300sqft house in a beautiful suburban neighborhood for $510k ... in order to buy a 1700sqft house in San Jose for $1.35m. <banghead>

I lived in this part of NC for 13 years and am happy to answer questions.
They're also comparing them to "top 50 vehicles since 2011."

Since they don't list which specific vehicles and years that includes, it is hard to draw any conclusions but it is odd contrasting vehicles which are up to seven years old.

I cannot even locate "Lowest Probability of injury" on NHTSA's site. So I'm not sure what the percentage are referring to. Can someone point me towards it?

PS - I don't doubt the Model 3 is a very safe vehicle. My post is about the way Tesla is conveying that information and what information they're conveying.
"Stathakopoulos repeated Apple’s statements to the press that it never found malicious chips or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server or been contacted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about such concerns. He said he would be available to brief Congressional staff on the issue this week." I have not seen "they are denying much more: the servers with the altered boards entering their supply chain".
All statements I've read are worded very carefully.
I wonder how to reconcile your point about lack of public transport, supporting services and liveability downtown (seems like it's not liveable) and the parent's claim about Pittsburg being top rated city in the world for liveability.
