Honestly these two psychos sound exactly like the type of person that someday scams someone who calls people with piano wire.

The life of the girl is of course really quite tragic, and that the two murderers can conceivably get away with it only deepens that tragedy, but on the other hand the whole gang didn't even try to appear trustworthy... lies are poisenous fruit, especially between persons. Liars cannot be trusted, and liars don't change.
Yes. You're either sexist, eat the costs or not hire at all. Quite a tough spot for a very small business. I think the laws should align incentives instead of creating situations like that.

IANAL but my understanding is this is very illegal in the US. Personally I think this is also terrible reasoning; there are many un-gendered life events that people will go on leave for.

Innovation includes factors like actually being able to manufacture the product at a price people are willing to pay. If something is worth at most $10, coming up with a novel way to do it for less than $10 is innovative; coming up with a way to do it for $1000 is just wasting time.

It's easy to come up with crazy, impractical ideas. The essence of innovation is turning those ideas into sustainable, marketable, and thus profitable products.
I have a masters degree in Negotiation & Conflict Resolution. There's two books that give you negotiation superpowers:

I’m curious what isn’t sustainable, since it doesn’t go into detail in the article.

If using stripe (or similar), all payment backend/scalability is included in the processing fees. And that portion is covered by the additional 5% fee Patreon charges directly.

5% of 500 million = $25 million USD.

+ 10 million USD extra since the actual processing fees are typically 3% or less in cost.

That leaves ~$35 million USD to cover:

- support staff
- ethics staff (mentioned was important)
- ops/accounting staff
- developers
- designers
- legal/insurance
- office space/expenses
- marketing
- hosting, transactional email expenses
- r&d

Most videos/content are using YouTube still from what I’ve seen, that would help avoid a large bandwidth bill.

It’s not a large company for sure, but do content providers really want a large, for-profit entity with ever increasing revenue needs in between them and their subscribers?

I’m curious what the unsustainable bit is when the above is considered.

Really, it's blurry even if you throw a bunch of bitrate at it? Seems odd.

The one area with significant uptake that I've seen so far is anime, which if regular stuff gets blurry does make sense. The quality is actually really great there, and it can produce files that are extremely small at good quality (eg 25 minutes at 1080p with multi-language AAC tracks is often around 250-300 MB, with bluray quality).

(oh, also there is a poster who used to do a lot of scifi releases in x265, it looks OK although not bluray quality, and you can get a 45 minute episode in 1080p quality in about 700mb)

Personally I've tried encoding Shadowplay recordings to x265 a couple times (via ffmpeg, both through Handbrake and directly invoking ffmpeg on my server) and I get solid green video. I think it's the variable frame rate, it works OK if I pull it down to a constant framerate first, but that can produce juddering if I get framedrops when I'm playing.
The article (nor my comment) doesn't say that AV1 can't do multithreading. What the article at texpion says is that it can't make CPU cores sustain hight loads the same way x264/x265 does.

That said, I have no idea whatsoever about video codecs; I'm just saying what I understood from the link I was provided with.
This is why calling Hanabi a "game" is generous. It's largely just an exercise in mathematics disguised as a game. There is only one real player: the person declaring the rules of deduction for everyone to follow.
How many years do people spend in Prussian-model government schools or private schools with mandated State-sponsored curriculum? 12? And the average person isn't imparted enough skills to work on anything besides a precarious assembly-line or perpetual min-wage job?

The story here is not an indictment of robots taking menial jobs; rather, it is an indictment of the atrocious education system that teaches people NOTHING of value. Maybe even less than nothing, since it propagandizes and infantilizes them.

If Walmart ran the schools and produced a bunch of know-nothings as a result, we would never hear the end of it. But somehow the State gets a pass. Even worse; they get more money!---per capital spending has increased 3x in the last 60 years with worse results.

>As this[1] article puts it: 'And it also illustrated how much people tend to anthropomorphize AI, believing that it has deep-seated beliefs rather than seeing it as a statistical machine.'

I would go in exactly the opposite direction. AI does have deep-seated beliefs because the programmers who input the training data and label it have deep-seated beliefs, as does the culture the content is drawn from. I'd say it's much more likely that AI is more human than philosophically ignorant scientists obsessed with mechanistic empiricist dogma would let on than it is that humans are just 'statistical machines'.

For instance, AI identifying some women as men (and some men as women) show that it's just as human as the rest of us - it was trained on data based on squarely modernist gender appearances.

Hardware H265 encoding has always struck me as a completely bizarre feature. So... you're concerned about file size, but not concerned enough to use software encoding?

>If existing solutions met people's needs the alternatives wouldn't have been created.

I'm not so sure about that. This modern age of change for change's sake must have resulted in hundreds if not thousands of javascript frameworks that appear to be even less diverse than the linux distributions.

Why are these flavourOfTheWeek.js frameworks being created? Is it really that someone's needs aren't being met or is it developer hubris, and the desire to be able to put Founder on one's CV?

I suspect much of the same attitude exists among those starting niche linux distros.
> It seems very odd to me that parental leave is paid for by companies and not by taxes/society. It completely messes up incentives.

Indeed. The same could be said for health care.
>Even the social and cultural norms imposed on men don't require bad behavior.

They kind of sometimes do, though. The items on the "negative" list in the article are often reinforced by cultural pressures and stereotypes associated with masculinity and "manhood."

To simply focus on individual bad behaviors by people who happen to be men is to ignore the societal and cultural weight of masculinity and the negative feedback loops a boy or man can feed upon when finding their identity. These behaviors don't exist in a vacuum, they persist in part because they signal conformity to an outdated template of masculinity.

I'm starting to agree that we shouldn't use the phrase "toxic masculinity," though. Not because it doesn't exist - I think it does - but it seems impossible to use without men getting triggered by it. You're disagreeing with the premise even as most of your comment agrees with what the term describes and what the goal of recognizing it should be.
You do encoding once, you pay for space/bandwidth forever. Same logic that Youtube uses.
> I had a weak reference which was turning nil (Swift weak references are zeroing), and I couldn't figure out why

This is extremely unlikely. If zeroing weak references were broken a lot of macOS/iOS would be broken. You probably have a bug or the memory just hasn't been overwritten yet, but the retain count is actually zero, you overwrote the reference, or something similar.

Turn on Zombie Objects in Xcode then try it again. Objects are never deallocated but will turn into an instance of NSZombie when their refcount reaches zero. See if your supposedly "still alive" object is actually an NSZombie at that point.

> I wrap a lot of my GCD code in extra locks ... Without them, it occasionally crashes with strange memory errors that are impossible to figure out

You definitely have some race conditions or other concurrency bugs then. Common issues include being on a different queue than you expected (use dispatchPrecondition() to verify), being on a concurrent queue when you expected a serial queue, failure to use a barrier block on a concurrent queue (another good case where dispatchPrecondition() can help you), or accessing something both on and off the queue.
I was an avid fisherman and hunter in my youth; it's a tradition in my region[s] and in my family. I still support fishing and hunting for the already-stated reasons that it puts one in much more intimate contact with nature [i.e., the natural order of predation / food chain / realities of acquiring food]. When I killed an animal that I had caught, I did feel very sorry and regretful, as most people do, and I think that's part of what makes hunting and fishing beneficial for people.

As Daniel Beard wrote over a hundred years ago in "The American Boys' Handy Book" :

"[the] author must confess that as a man or boy he never killed any animal without a feeling of remorse for what he had done, and it was only after long thought and study upon the subject that he decided to put anything about hunting and trapping in this book. But after mature deliberation the conclusion was reached that other boys must have the same sensations as himself, when a bloody little trophy is stowed away in their game-bag, and that these feelings will prevent the average lad from killing for the sake of killing; for there is no fun in wanton destruction of life for a properly-educated boy..."

As I got older, I involuntarily developed a lot more empathy for nonhuman animals and subsequently went meatless / vegan.

I'd still sooner eat an animal caught by hunting / fishing than one raised in captivity [let alone, as you say, in a 'factory-farming' hellscape] -- by a country mile

p.s. gotta put my favorite joke here as it's apropos :

Q: How can you tell if somebody's vegan?

A: They'll fucking tell you.

> That's far more of a child care issue than a parental leave issue. If both parents take a year of leave each for three children that's not even close to a tenth of their working life.

That's part of my point. If you need to use childcare services, then the cost of having children rises linearly with the number of children. If one parent stays home, then the costs grow logarithmically (I've heard anecdotally that after 4 kids, having more doesn't really require much additional effort because the older ones can be recruited to help with the younger ones).

But aside from cost, there's also the question of emotional investment. I suspect that couples aren't generally going to want to have more than one or two kids if they aren't going to have enough time to personally invest in each kid.

> And we are expecting far too many hours to be worked per household. But there's no reason a reduction in working hours has to imply a stay at home parent. What if both parents worked 3 days a week, or 2 days a week?

That's a fair point, and I think it's worth looking at how that could be made a reality.

However, shorter work weeks imply that each hour of work has the same marginal utility for the worker. I don't have any citations at the moment, but I've heard that people who work more hours tend to be paid disproportionately more. That is, it may make more financial sense for a family if one parent works 40-50 hours than if both work 20-25 hours.

Good thoughts.

In my mind, "toxic" is just another epithet used in meaningless and unproductive name-calling. This doesn't spur moral progress, but in fact impedes it.

Name-calling and shaming _never_ help, but sometimes you can put yourself in a state of having a pure heart, talk with kindness to someone who is doing something wrong, and change the world.
While I chuckle reading your explanation I think you forgot to consider how much nursing is deeply ingrained in our nature by us being mammals.

> in a state of nature, they're likely to die anyways.

So while this part, where they would die if left alone, is certainly right, it would make the whole concept of us humans not laying eggs, putting some semen and mud on them and disappear into the wilderness an evolutional waste of time.

Plus, I have some acquaintances whom I suspect would very much prefer to go about their business that exact same way. So it's not a demand side problem either.
In addition to books others have already mentioned, I'd put "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong".

> But they are much less likely to take this parental leave

If you want to talk about likelihoods, consider that in most companies, the chance that an employee of any gender will leave for a random reason is much higher than someone of any gender taking parental leave. Trying to skirt the law to "optimize" for least parental leaves is kinda like sending a memo to your employees telling them to always run red lights and jaywalk to get to work faster. It's one of those "not even wrong" kinds of things.

> Most small businesses fail

This is a non sequitur. Businesses fail for all sorts of reasons. Your restaurant staff ghosting you, not enough clients, spending stupidly after raising money, etc. If your business fails due to a parental leave of all things, let me tell you, you were probably severely delusional about its viability to begin with.

> Aka your small business shuts its doors

I believe I mentioned a fitting example where this could not be farther from the truth (early education)

In a small company the buck always ends with the owner. If the company fails if someone leaves then that is either a failure of the owners ability to manage different aspect of the work or poorly run company.

An employee can at any time get a medical condition that puts them out of action with month long recovery time. A car crash, a bike accident, or any other problem that results in surgery. Maybe they get serious sick. Its quite rare that people are perfect healthy and remains so for decades, so it doesn't make any sense to risk operating a company on that condition.
To add on to the reasons mentioned by others (Hanabi is simpler, purely cooperative, etc), I'll point out that Hanabi is fairly popular with young CS types, especially the ones interested in ML and AI, much more so than Bridge which is understandably seen as old fashioned. My source for this statement being that I'm friends with a lot of such people and was roommates with someone who now works for Deep Mind, and have learned first hand and shared in the generalized Hanabi obsession. Perhaps it's just my localized experience and I'm exaggerating the popularity of the game. But I think it's telling that I wasn't the least big surprised when I saw this game mentioned as the next candidate Deep Mind would tackle.

Does it much matter that the topic being studied is one you have experience with and a passion for? Perhaps more than we might think.
