Interesting. You agree, then, that women gossip more than men. But you think gossip - which means talking about people behind their backs - is good for social cohesion?

This really sounds like a complete inversion of reality. Straightforward communication is good; manipulating information, denying information, etc are bad. Lots of girls (and some boys) even commit suicide because of gossip campaigns against them - and nowadays it's frequently mediated by social media.

I've been targeted by a female gossip campaign in my youth. The lies flowed freely and harmed me tremendously, always whispered behind my back so I couldn't correct the record. In contrast, when boys had a problem with me they threatened physically instead. Many have experienced this dichotomy.

It's hard to see how one could come to your conclusion from a purely fact-finding mindset. But I'd be interested in any observations that led you to this conclusion. At this point, I think there's a good chance that you feel you're morally compelled to believe this regardless of evidence, as part of a political/moralistic project to change the world according to some grand narrative.

Anyway it's testable. We can just consider: Do groups composed of all men have better or worse social cohesion than comparable groups composed of all women?

I've heard from people who worked in offices of different gender mixes that there is a difference... and it doesn't support your theory. But there must be some better evidence, somewhere.
I think that is pretty cool.

The one thing I would wish for is a build tool where I could insert my CSS (or a choose from available themes) and build my version of TeXMe (I have a CSS file already which I use to convert Markdown files to PDF).

I mean, yes it is not that complicated, and I might just do it manually, but for wider adoption, it would be cool to have themed versions which do not clutter the Markdown files.

> This, in essence, is the premise of Latour’s latest book, “Down to Earth,” an illuminating and counterintuitive analysis of the present post-truth moment, which will be published in the United States next month.

Ah, that's why this article exists - he's got a book to promote.

Despite that, it's a good read and an important discussion to have, and one that's at great risk of misinterpretation. What Latour and others are discussing is not the idea that there isn't an external reality, but that what we know about reality is inevitably filtered by our perception, which includes our social, economic and institutional contexts. Latour's questioning of scientism pre-dates the modern problems of nonreproducibility, p-hacking etc.

I would also recommend Latour's work Aramis. The French government attempted an extremely Elon Musk personal transit system in the 80s, and Latour examines why it failed. Perhaps to be read alongside Feynman writing about Challenger in the same timeframe.

I've discovered that megadoses of Vitamin C have worked for me.

It was too late to go the doctor, and I only had Vitamin C (as Sodium Ascorbate powder) on hand, so I chugged that down, up to maybe 5 grams every half-hour in orange juice, and about 6 hours later, the worst of the flu was gone. Next morning, I was feeling like I only had a minor cold. The flu never came back, either.

Since then, that's been my go-to strategy.

I really would not say that a 2007 Xeon is in any way comparable to something newer. Something that old is just a waste of watt-hours.

But if you skip forward a few years, a 2012-2013 quad socket, eight core Xeon machine that was many thousands of dollars is still quite useful. If you want to lab your own xen or kvm hypervisor stuff on a machine with 32 cores and 256GB of RAM you can do it for under $1000, if you know where to look, and can tolerate a 500W load addition to your electrical bill.

Being spied upon by a non-democratic nation is the same as being spied upon by a democratic nation if you're not a citizen - you don't hold any influence over either and neither is accountable to you.

So from an outside perspective the US and China are pretty much the same thing in that regard.

To top it off, the five eyes nations are spying on each other - so even if you're a citizen of one you're tolerating being spied upon by four other surveillance apparati that aren't accountable to you.
There is increased skepticism throughout the hierarchy. the flat-earthers and creationists are caricatures, but focusing on them misses or disguises the bigger picture.

What I meant is that laptop spens large portion of the day discharging, doing work. But I rarely let it get below 50% which is when main 6 cell battery starts running out before switching to internal 3 cell one. I unfortunately don't record the usage of my battery but mine would be different from the author of the article. In mine, I guess, you would see say 80% of days not going below 60% of charge.

While I could technically last entire day on one charge bI never venture from home without charger and I always let it charge even if I have just few minutes between meetings. I also use the regular 65W charger to charge large battery which charges slowly (but I guess it helps maintain lower temperature).

Greens do not hold any political function AFAIK (edit: they still have a few senators). In the past few elections they usually gained only around 3 % of votes.

Our 'proper' left parties that have some power are those old-school leftist parties that are pro-Russian. The irony is that they are usually quite fond of Trump.
Lets suppose that our endangered species is a screw. Just a normal screw. The cheapest one. We could mass produce screws, coate it with gold and put them under a glass bell in our main hall. This would assure that everybody knows what kind of screws we had in the past, but they are just curious useless pieces of metal at that state.

The real problem is that this screw was doing something in a bigger machine, and if we remove random pieces in a machine there is a fair possibility that the entire system will crash until we return all the pieces again in its correct place.

But ecosystems aren't your common kind of machine. They are alive flexible machines and they will try to regenerate aiming for the next lower point of equilibrium available, much like a rock falling a few meters from a mountainside. Having lost a part of its "potential energy", the machine will start producing different things. Typically fewer and of lesser value, often noxious or defective products: They could start producing fireforests, dust storms and thorns por example instead water, fruit and wood. Ecosystems don't care.

Even worse, at this point there aren't more slots that could fit again our screw. The machine has mutated and will spit its former spare-parts. Can't be reversed unless you burn huge lots of money and invest thousands of years on it. If you find that the new situation is bad for you (as often is), you are screwed for the rest of your life, and also your sons and grandsons.

I realize that this is an outlier.... But I was raised in an aboriginal type environment (and my children's early experience was in a similar environment by risk) when a single episode of unruly behavior could result in serious injury or death.

In this environment, spanking was used as a proxy for these irrevocable natural consequences, to give teeth to (an often invisible to a child) danger without letting iit bite.

I'm pretty sure that the use of (comparatively insignificant) physical punishment prevented serios injuries or death multiple times.

As a child gets to 4 or 5 years old and have had time to see obvious mortal dangers avoided and the counsel of their parents validated (backed up by the minimum necessary force and ample explanation and demonstration if possible), it is rare (in my experience of child raising) that a child won't heed the counsel that they have seen proven true time and again.

As a species, we've survived eons of dangerous environments, and it wasn't due only to watchful parents.... Children are no fools once they get get to 5 or 6 years of age and can navigate dangerous environments with skill.

OTOH, when almost all of the corporal punishment I have seen doled out in public has been reactive, not well considered, and not accompanied by proper counsel, as well as with children far too old to still need that kind of correction.... So IMO it is often misused.

Nanometrics making a difference in business
I've been thinking this for years. I have no idea where the western powers are going to find the number of skilled hackers they'll need to counter the state-run threats coming from China and Russia.

Unfortunately in the free market, the most skilled will aspire for the perfect balance of high pay and relaxed/flexible workplace. Neither of these would seem to be a good match for military/intelligence service jobs, with their "yessirs" and suits, so it seems to me the governments have a crisis on their hands.

The OP talks about volunteer services, which has crossed my mind also, because it would probably work in a national emergency situation, but by then it's almost certainly too late. The people with the required skills are going to be the slowest to get all patriotic. Not that they wouldn't, or couldn't, it's just that they're not likely to be the nationalistic type so it would take longer before they were convinced of the threat. And then by the time they'd been screened it may be too late.

The best analogue to this is Bletchley Park in Britain in WWII. And in that situation the country was already at war, so the best minds for the job could be pretty much told what to do (or else be sent to the front line). And even then, the people were by all accounts pretty difficult to manage.

> MFC is a layer above Win32

Not exactly and this view of it is IMO why a lot of people dislike it: MFC is not a layer like Qt, you don't use it to avoid Win32, you use it to enhance Win32. When using MFC you need to know both MFC and Win32 and you use both of them at the same time. On the other hand when you use Qt you can ignore anything related to Win32 because the Qt API layers itself over whatever is below.

Of course this has several implications, starting with that if you don't like Win32 then you wont like MFC either (and the reverse isn't necessarily true - you may dislike MFC while liking Win32).
But then you're falling for the myth that average is synonymous with mean. Median is an average, too.

this is actually a topic I took very seriously recently. I have a 1yr old Precision 5520, a great laptop made greater by the fact you can get it with a 9cell battery.

However I checked the status of that battery around six months ago and it had dropped to 91% of its initial capacity. Might not sound like a lot but it was only six months old and I upgraded the battery because I didn’t want to worry about looking for an outlet during long flights/travel essentially.

So I looked into what makes l-ion batteries wear out and found that (unsurprisingly to many of you) batteries that are fully charged are under stress, and the heat of charging from 80%->100% is what causes harm also. The Dell BIOS allows you to set a maximum charge cap, actually they allow much more granular tuning too such as “office hours” where charging will be full speed but out of those hours the battery will trickle charge etc. However I was interested in setting a hard limit, since the bios is uefi; you are exposed to its settings in the OS (Linux in my case), I was wondering if there was any way to alter these values from inside the OS- so that I don’t have to reboot to go into “road warrior” mode (and summarily charge my battery after rebooting of course).

Ideally I’d be able to manually trickle charge too to preserve the life of the battery;

Any ideas?
