You didn't even try to understand the viewpoint of men objectively here.
You are telling men that they should be choosing to abstain from PIV intercourse, get invasive surgery or wear condoms which can all fail anyway which destroys your point anyway, but even if it didnt then a woman has to do none of these things and she still gets a choice of whether she wants to become a parent or not. Always. A man needs this choice too or it is not fair.

> Child support or co-parenting is not a punishment for the father

The millions of unwilling fathers who have to pay massive amounts of money would violently disagree with that statement. How can you even make such a statement without the alarm bells going off in your head? Just put yourself into their position, you didn't want a child, you still don't want one but now you have to pay money into it. It takes some breathtaking mental gymnastics on your part to shoehorn your ideological beliefs (fatherhood = never bad) into this objectively bad situation that has no equivalent for women.
I suspect you are fighting an ideological battle here, trying to convince everyone and maybe most of all yourself that fatherhood must never be seen as negative when reality just disagrees with you.

> men do not have to carry a pregnancy and go through childbirth and any resulting complications, and breastfeeding

Neither do women, they have the right to an abortion. Again, this just shows that you didn't even attempt to understand what my point was.

> Let's accept that biology makes this situation unequal and not try to equalize it.

Absolutely not, what kind of cruel joke is this? We see an obvious discrepancy with a very fair solution for both sides and you say no. One is inclined to think that there is a profit motive behind this for you if you are arguing like this.

> Let's focus on managing the reality and making sure children grow up with the support of both parents when possible

aka. forcing men into parenthood and an 18 year long huge financial burden against their will, not to mention the emotional burden.

> mental gymnastics to force the idea that any potential consequences of sex should not fall on men

Again: Women do not have to face these potential consequences of sex, so why should men?

Isn't it funny, you say we have to accept these biological differences but only if men suffer for it.
What about the biological reality that the baby is 50% the father's so why should the woman not have to accept this biological reality and be forced to ask the father for permission if she wants to abort it?
But no, of course not. Equality is only something good if it's in favor of women and bad for men. Did I get that right? I think I did even if you deny it.

I'm going to very quickly bottom line this: Women have the right to refuse motherhood whether they abstain from sex or not, men do not have it. This has to be fixed, whether you personally like it when men suffer or not.
The fact that they spent so long using SHA-1 after it’d is a red flag for their hand-rolled crypto. They had no legacy install base but were deploying new services while the rest of the industry was deprecating it – even the U.S. federal government was ahead on that.

We work on the things that are at the intersection of what we want to work on, what we are capable of working on (contributing to), and what the world (customers) want to have us work on.

It's the same thing with charitable giving. Give to the cause that will sustain your passion and connection to the cause. Disease in third world countries may reduce the most suffering in the world, but helping others in your own first world community is a "good" that should not be discounted.
This is sadly so true of my own orginzation.

Hey, I struggled with this question too. It can hang up a lot of very smart people in a challenging way.

A few thoughts:

- Sector of business and the problems you want to solve can end up being kind of orthogonal. I knew I wanted to have a big impact on some of the world's poorest people. I ended up working in agtech which at first had no impact on the world's poorest folks, it just made a few people very rich actually. I broke off and started a startup in the space 3 years ago that's now using agtech to help the world's smallest farmers radically improve their incomes. It takes time, but I wouldn't get too hung up on the sector to work in, I'd focus on what's driving you. If you want to work in healthcare to help people in your community, remember that helping people in your community is the goal and healthcare is just one possible medium.

- I really like Peter Thiel's classnotes from the startup class he taught at Stanford. They really changed my world view on what a successful company/life would be for me. I know he's become somewhat of a pariah in the tech community for his Trump support, but this work is pretty apolitical and really excellent.
The important thing for me is to work on small problems that flex my abilities. Solving global problems isn't something that I strive towards. Figuring out a good way to speed up information retrieval in the context of my work (internal cache vs external cache vs denormalized tables, etc) is something that makes me happy. I'm happy doing whatever work lets me work on those small, difficult problems.
Preface: I am really bad when it comes to remembering names.

One thing I did when I started my current job, was drawing out a floorplan with the names of people at their desk position, their project (and role if known).
Sure it was far from complete on day 1 but it helps me learn and remember the names of everyone.
Because companies think that people are too stupid for exchanging usernames/handles. Obviously they are wrong.
You just equated the world's governments and general public to cranks.
This reads like you're trying to show off how familiar you are with the literature rather than give good advice. The distinction that you make about the different types of hypertrophy isn't necessary or relevant and the sources that you cite have a completely different target audience from the author of the original post.

What is technically correct and what is useful advice are completely different things.
I'm sure this won't be the case for everyone but something about being on the computer all the time, using it for official work tasks and so many personal mundane tasks seems to take away from my seriousness and memory retention when I'm trying to do creative organization outside of work time (since work stuff is by nature more structured and stratified into departments and projects it sorta helps to organize itself before I have to really put thought into it).

That's where I find using a physical notebook better.

Sometime I do is write everything out in pencil first and then I make sure to re-read it. That gives me a chance to make quick changes / fixes and then more importantly it allows me to go back with a pen when I'm done to write over / highlight headings, keywords, key snippets, and key bullet points while also being able to add things like stars next to important items, arrows to connected items, and other things that I possibly forgot to jot down or couldn't finish once I have the clarity of the entire ordeal's organization jotted down in one place.

This helps me commit things to memory much better and something about having a hand written hard copy feels like I actually did some "official work" on a side project / personal organization / preparation project.
I dont really have a strong opinion or definitive answer.

What I know is that many other industries deal with somethint like this. Not just taxes, but costly regulation hurts domestic production. For example, countries which do not respect responsible fishing practices have a competitive advantage.

Part of the answer can be: just dont let those countries sell fish within the US. Others can be international treatise or laws.

If I were king, I'd need to spend more time to consider my options, but I guess a treatise is in order. I dont see how any climate change action within the US's 350M population will do anything meaningful to solve the problem if the other 6.5Billion are not cooperating.
It’s just not possible to move Signal chats from one iOS device to another (on iOS, Signal and SMS are not connected). Signal prohibits backing up of the data to iTunes and to iCloud. So there’s no way to make this work. That’s how it has been, and Signal does this for “security reasons”.
That's not history vs political science, that's academic research va public policymaking.

amdgpu is not a stopgap driver. It's mature and reliable enough driver to play videogames including a lot of windows games via proton. I don't see a single reason to use a proprietary OS or driver anymore.
> Threema is proprietary and I think it's dangerous to recommend it as an alternative. Everything we trust should be open.

On the other hand, they have been audited [1], have transparency reports [2] and their servers are Swiss based [3]. Yes open source would be nice, but a relative small company with a focused business model (not dependent on advertisement, data-gathering, donations, kind [bi|mi]llionairs) has its advantages too.

I'm using Threema since some years and wouldn't want anything else.

I mean that IPv6, to my (admittedly poor) understanding, does not contain a specification as to how to route "legacy" IPv4 packets. To have IPv4 packets work in an IPv6 network, you need a whole IPv4 infrastucture. And when you are there, you may as well just use IPv4.

But maybe I am mistaken. Does the IPv6 specification proposes way to map an IPv4 network inside an IPv6 one? Or are all these later hacks?
I write them. I carry around a good quality physical notebook and a couple of pens that I particularly like, and make an effort to spend some time writing every day so that it's a habit.

My notebook is A4 and sits alongside my laptop: if I have my laptop, I have my notebook.

I find the act of physically writing things down is really important for my process.
I use simplenote it updates instantly on all my devices, I can send links while browsing. I find it very usefull and don't miss notebooks and scrap of papers at all.
Threema does not fall under Russian jurisdiction, so no.

Is there a way to remove an account?
>> It's really hard to fault a company for not innovating when nobody else is innovating either.

CES 2019 starts in few days, and rumor is that we'll see foldable smartphones there, so there are still some companies innovating, Apple just isn't one of them.
These things can never be understood purle statistically but have to be understood in a complex mix of evolutionary, social, psychological and geographical, economical, context before we can even start to talk about benefits and problems with immigration.

I believe a different question needs to be asked which is. What conditions need to be in place before immigration becomes a net positive or a net negative.

It's always struck me as an important difference that the US is so attractive to people even though they don't get anything compared to Europe.

I remember when I grew up in Denmark and we had discussions about why immigrant/refugees got free bikes and free metrocards to take public transportation.

This turned into a kind of resentment where every time you saw an immigrant doing well you would often hear "well of course since they get everything from the government" The sentiment is that it's less deserved.

There is something about access to better opportunity which transcends the actual state of that opportunity as long as it feels deserved which I believe is what actually helps a country get more out of its immigration even though if it's system isn't as generous as ex. the Scandinavian or German immigration systems.

The US system could be much better but the opportunities here are still second to none IMO (I moved from Denmark because of better opportunity for what I want to do with my life)

Immigration is at times great for a country at other times can be a problem depending on the state of the situation the country finds itself in.

Looking at it statistically just isn't the right way to do things. It will always be a mix and doesn't really make sense to talk about net benefits in any truly meaningful way IMO. Only context matters.
I write with my right, use smartphone with left, left footed, lefty with machinery, mouse in right, ballsports left, eat with fork left, spoon doesn't matter. Not sure what to think of myself.
You would still have, authors like Rudyard Kipling, Arnold Bennett, Josef Conrad, DH Lawrence, EM Forster and John Galsworthy, or many others from the early 20th century, already in the public domain,
may be even some of PG Woodhouse as well(I think he isn't much popular with Americans, as much as he is in the Commonwealth) .
This is just Crypviser spreading lies. No, being on that Russian register doesn't imply any intention to comply with any wiretapping / censorship requests; in fact, IIRC, it doesn't even necessarily imply any consent to being added to the register. Saying that Treema's being added to the register means it "moved under the control of the Russian government" is no different than adding their company name and address to some Excel file on your computer and then saying that Threema has moved under your control.
In my case I use a combination of the following:

- a physical notebook (I always carry it)

- nth-priority-ideas.md file (I write down ideas)

- I have an on-and-off relationship with Evernote (as it is easier to sync it with phone and other stuff; though, cannot draw as easily as in my notebook, and not as distraction-free as a single Markdown list)

Most importantly, if I have no time for an idea (the best ideas stuck me when I am busy) I write it down and forget.
I think what you want to work on (energy, AI) has the capability of helping or enhancing the work of others doing what you believe should be worked on (healthcare). Not a zero-sum game in my opinion.
Given issues like the intel fdiv bug that may make sense to test if you really want to avoid running into hardware specific bugs.
Farewell to Southwest’s Founder – The Southwest Airlines Community
For those interested in what Caltrain itself thinks here's their latest presentation on plans and expectations for 2040 (which was put out after the linked blog post):
https://www.caltrain2040.org/wp-content/uploads/CBP_November...

Caltrain thinks on the high end they can get ~243k daily riders by 2040 up from the current 62k. That's actually a bigger capacity growth (3.9x versus 2.9x) than the blog is talking about although the blog only goes up to 2035.
I decided in my mid-30's I wanted to work on energy, so after some career manoeuvring I found a job working in the IT dept of a renewable energy company. I was there two years, and would have stayed longer, but the salary wasn't that competitive and with my large family I ended up returning to contract work. (Towards the end pretty much all of my salary was going to our monthly costs, I had nothing left).

I don't regret doing this at all. I feel like I contributed (not for as long as I'd have liked to), and I learned tons of stuff working there.

I think AI is also pretty interesting as something that "should be worked on", and the pay is possibly also better than it is in the energy sector.
So Signal and others are not "homebrew crypto"?

That criticism is fair a lot of times, but every higher level crypto construction is going to be unproven for a while until checked.

It's not like they were inventing their own hash function and stream cypher.

I don’t understand why Telegram still doesn’t have E2E (“secret chats”) on the desktop. That’s such a pain for longer and hotter conversations when one needs to type a lot.
In fifty years, people will look back and call us unethical for possessing the necessary tools to prevent many birth defects and hereditary diseases but choosing to not do so.

Although Signal is not closed-source, they tend to discontinue useful features of their product. For example RedPhone server code has been removed from GitHub after it was discontinued.

Last time I checked, it is not really feasible to setup a standalone Signal instance. Is there any guide to deploying a standalone version of Signal on your own servers or a successful example of it? If not, their approach may be more of "see but not touch" than being a free software. Also decisions like dependency on GCM and discontinuing features to increase development speed make Signal less reliable as a open source project.
OsmAnd and MapsWithMe are good apps that you can use offline maps on indefinetly once downloaded. They use Openstreetmap of course.
I haven't heard of Github actually enforcing this, but the described limit is one free account per person. If you need a separate work account, you (or your employer) are supposed to pay for that.
Perhaps the Librem 5, Necuno or Fairphone 3 will be suffice. We have a currated list of fair devices on the Fairphone Community forums [1].

The city is paying for expanding general use parking in the downtown area around the stadium. It’s something that will be needed by everyone in that area, as is upgraded traffic infrastructure (lights, etc).

Yes, the enhancements are needed because of the new stadium, but the benefit is not entirely to the MLS team.

And these are nothing like the deals made many years ago where the city/county build stadiums for the Bengals and Reds and covered the entire cost, which is what was alluded to in the parent.

For Android phones you need to get the app called Conversations, and for Linux Windows Mac desktops you need to get the app called Gajim, and just enable OMEMO encryption under plugins.

Conversations for Android is definitely the best XMPP client out there right now, so just make all your family and friends use it. And everything will be transparently flawless.
I've thought about this a lot because I would like to keep things for a long time without it getting a mess. Since I started using Linux as my main OS six years ago, I had the chance to rethink my structure and this one still holds up through multiple reinstalls and studies/companies:

~/p/$projectname for bigger projects
~/p/$language/$projectname because there is usually
one obvious language to use for a given project

~/d/$school/$subject_code for current subjects
~/d/$school/$year/$subject_code for previous subjects
~/d/$company/ documents related to the company, such
as a contract, correspondence, or just work
documents. In most cases I get a company laptop,
so then this folder is really small.
~/d/archive/$year/($school or $company) for old things

~/d/private/$YYYY-MM-DD-description can be either a
file (such as 2019-01-01-Microsoft-support-call)
or a folder (2019-01-Microsoft-support-case)
~/d/private/finances/ is one of a few special folders
that do not use the time-based prefix. Other files
include a passport-style picture, encrypted copy
of passport, a folder containing my CV, etc.

~/Music a few things that are not on Spotify and
audio book archive (I don't trust Audible to keep
my library available as mp3 indefinitely).
~/Videos similar to Music but for videos
~/tmp/rm-me-on-YYYY-MM-DD files/folders which would
previously clutter my desktop indefinitely, but
which should survive a reboot (otherwise, /tmp)
~/bin/ user applications
~/bin/pf/ program files for ~/bin

Unsolved problems:

~/Downloads is a huge mess. I've been thinking of symlinking this to /tmp to
force myself to move out what I want to keep, but did not get around to it, so I don't know whether it's a good solution.

Programs put files in random places, mostly dot folders in my home directory
such as ~/.gnupg. This causes the following:

~/old-ssd still contains files from my previous SSD, and I'm not sure how to
decide which ones to keep. Every few months, I dig something up from there, so
it's definitely not ready to be thrown away despite having copied the
aforementioned folders.
Not at all but that might be related to the fact that I'm left-handed and as such have learnt to do many things in both left- and right-handed fashion simply because many tools are made for right-handed use, this goes from simple things like scissors to chain saws and rifles. Learning to use them in either fashion makes takes away the idea of 'doing it wrong'. It also makes me more flexible in that I have no problems swapping sides when the circumstances call for it.
There problem here is two fold:

1) As far as I know, nobody ever wrote down a protocol description, and preferably made an implementation. The devil is in the details. It is very hard to estimate if such a design would actually work.

2) At the moment, the core of the internet and just about all host operating system support IPv6. The hard part is getting the edge networks to upgrade. My guess is that your proposal would run into similar issues.
2.4GHz chips are lower power and smaller (and way slower). Luckily you can often create two separate networks and have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time.
For day to day I solved this by working for BigHealth. Their mission to get the world back to good mental health perfectly aligns with what I feel to be one of the most important issues facing humanity. From that perspective I’m sorted. But I’m also currently spending a lot of time thinking about 20-30 years into the future. I don’t have any answers but I’m reading various sources of ideas from sci fi to Marx to economics to philosophy to psychology. I’m hoping to get insights about fundamental long term human behaviour by looking at history and science. Good luck to you :)
