Yes, serious people are really making that argument.

> It's trivial to make an argument about what a government can't do without necessarily bestowing broad rights on people the US constitution does not directly apply to.

I don't see what you're imagining here. Prohibiting the government from doing something to you is what a right (against the government) is. If the government can't take an action against members of a particular class, then members of that class enjoy the relevant right. If the government can't take an action against anyone, then the class in question is "everyone in the world", and everyone in the world possesses the relevant right.

> 1- civil nuclear power has been developed using uranium instead of thorium since this produces plutonium as by-product, which is useful to build nuclear weapon.

All of the plutonium production for weapons was done in special purpose reactors at Hanford, WA. It takes a pretty specialized process to extract the plutonium from the fuel slugs. And btw most used nuclear fuel in the US is still sitting in tanks next to the power plants that they were used in.

We also stopped producing plutonium a fairly long time ago because we have more than enough for all the weapons we could ever conceivably want to produce.

The reason we have the reactors we do is probably more to do with the US navy than anything.
> I mean that the author doesn't seem to be very informed with respect to race relations or social equity issues.

"Race relations" is kinda wide topic, encompassing more or less the whole human history. It would be more useful if you point out which relevant aspects of this huge topic, in your opinion, the author got wrong and how, in your opinion, it influenced her discussion about education. I understand this could potentially also be huge, but at least 2-3 of major examples would be very helpful.

> I mean a school system that fails to take into account or fully address the same issues that I state above.

Yes, but address how? Any school system could fail to fully address one or the other aspects of the full history of race relations and social issues. It is impossible not to - it's the whole human history in all its vast diversity, and nobody would ever be able to account or fully address all aspects of it. Pointing out which aspects and how are not addressed would be much more interesting than just saying "oh, race relations, therefore whole article is invalid". I don't see how it adds anything, it just sounds dismissive of an experience of the real person and painstaking work she made of recording it and sharing it with us. What do you thing she have done wrong, specifically?

> It is hard to tackle these issues because it is still too hard to have a reasoned conversation on race

True, it is not easy. But I think that's not the reason to not try?

> The author of this article is part of the problem IMHO.

I do not see how. She honestly tried to help those students who want to learn and advance, despite harsh conditions that surround them, and she found her efforts consistently being contradicted and nullified by the system, which does not help people who want to learn, and allows people who behave destructively to continue their behavior not only to their own detriment, but to the detriment of others. She spent a lot of time and effort trying to teach people despite these circumstances and despite constant assault on her human dignity. If that counts as being part of the problem, what isn't?

Our testnet has already pushed ~1TB of data in a day on a P2P network that cost ~$99 to operate. (Internet Archive, D.Tube, Notabug.io, and others run us in production).

I'm hoping bandwidth + Filecoin will be the perfect combo for devs to replace AWS/Azure/gCloud/S3/etc. for about ~85% cheaper than current centralized rates. (As calculated by our 300GB / 100M 1kb per record test here, a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_WqBuEA7s8 ).

> What's the best alternative way to minimize the number of people in the country illegally?

Fix the rules on allocating legal slots to be sensible, starting with aligning supply with demand by eliminating the per country proportion limit of the global allocation in each category would be the best alternative, but you don't need the best to be a better alternative.

I'm not responsible for what you think, but I'll note that in general it's a good idea to look at what people are saying before deciding what you think they're saying.

> By this argument, aren't all immigration restrictions invalid?

No; for example, if you apply for a visa and check the box saying "I am planning to engage in a terrorist attack against the United States", I'm pretty sure this argument would have nothing to say about denying your visa. It does invalidate plenty of historical restrictions.

You've basically summed up my opinion on CA in comparison with my current state of residence. The only major diffetence is our roads also suck like CA's despite having a similar weather advantage but at least I can blame them on the insane amount of truck traffic (~50% of interstate traffic outside of rush hour) fhat stems from our status as a major manufacturing hub. We don't pay much in taxes and all that sweet, sweet value added manufscturing employment and wage growth is worth the potholes in my opinion.

I recently visited SF, the capitol city of HN's core demographic and my wife and I stood aghast at the sheer filthiness and unseemly nature of the place. Present day San Francisco is a place ripped straight from the pages of a dystopian cyberpunk-ish novel from 20-40 years ago. Excessive wealth cloistered in enclaves surrounded by slums (homeless camps) and a complete degenration of the public square (in a broad sense, I'm referring to all the public spaces in the city center) into a gallery of feces, drug abuse, and general decay all bathed in the glow of private spaces reserved for the wealthy tech elite. The "high tech, low life" aesthetic popularized by that genre has been given life in that city and it is terrifying to see such a nightmare become reality.

I agree with most of your points, however: most of the accidents have more to do with flaws in regulations than mistakes from the nuclear engineers. Chernobyl, which is arguably the worst and most iconic nuclear disaster of all times was mostly caused by a severe violation of procedures.

When you take into account he amount of energy that has been produced by nuclear power since the 50s, I'd say we have a pretty good record when it comes to overall safety.

Just as an example, even handling ssl/tls is far from trivial (plain ssl vs startls, with certificate validation or not, with a custom CA or not), it took me easily a few days to understand the options python-ldap provides, expose the options in a clear manner in the config file, deal with errors to provide meaningful logs and properly test everything.

I meant Aaron Swartz historic. Current Reddit censorship (and really censorship on all the major platforms) is very different.
Well first of all, she misquotes the memo, which the New York Times reported as coming from the Department of Health and Human Services — they say 'sex', not 'gender':

> “Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the department proposed in the memo, which was drafted and has been circulating since last spring. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”

I'm not saying I agree with the memo. But there's a reason to use the word 'sex' instead of 'gender' — the former refers to ones biological sex, which in humans is essentially determined by whether the person has a Y chromosome.

There is NO strong body of evidence indicating that people who are trans are that way because of biological factors. There are a few small studies, but nothing that, quantitatively speaking, justifies her claim that "[...] false ideas about gender have been thoroughly debunked by science".

There is actually a great amount of contention in academia about gender. You really needn't look further than the debate over whether gender is a social construct — a notion popular with some feminists and in the social sciences. The fact that it's so strongly asserted by as many people in the social sciences as it is, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

A specific example: there's the "Social Role Hypothesis" which basically postulates a evening out of the distribution of men and women as a society becomes more industrialized and egalitarian [0]

However, a study [1] conducted by Armin Falk, an economics professor at the University of Bonn, and Johannes Hermle, a doctoral student in economics at the University of California, Berkeley of 80,000 people in 76 countries strongly disfavors that hypothesis.

The study supports quite the opposite — as life becomes less hard in a society, and as it makes progress in terms of gender equality, men and women tend to manifest MORE gender preferences.

What we have at the moment are deep divisions in academia, where certain topics are not being approached in an rational, intellectually honest, evidence-based way. Frankly, it approaches dogmatism.

When so much evidence suggests that biological sex and gender are very much _tightly_ interwoven — they are absolutely causally linked, and you still have people in academia claiming that they're not — even to the point of saying that gender has no biological basis — that's not "thoroughly debunked" by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't blame the author. She probably has sources that one would take as authoritative at first glance. The problem is that it's not backed by a thorough, honest, cross-disciplinary discourse. And sadly, for people like her and I, it won't be resolved until everyone puts their feelings aside and resolve to actually get to the bottom of it, regardless of whether the truth resembles what we wish were so.

Having been a professional programmer for 29 years now, it's been my experience that the single biggest factor is the company you choose to work for.

Find a company that's rapidly growing, has a good product base and rising revenues. In such an environment pay raises are not infrequent and surprise bonuses might come your way. Opportunities for advancement also present themselves.

The alternative-- a stagnant company or a shrinking one-- instead offer layoffs, pay/benefit reductions, and constant worries.

Look for the right company! It's worth it.

Good luck.

2) I'm not qualified to judge relative morality of mass internment of your own citizens vs mass death of foreigners.

But most importantly,
3) I'm not even talking about China so much as I am about hacker news. At least nationalist conservatives are honest about their motivations.
I think @rsweeney nailed it. Your product is one that _should_ sell itself.

Not releasing the model? These people aren't scientists.

edit: toned down a bit.
Yes. I was a bit unclear but I was trying to addressing that the top parent comment disagree with the article and think that genitalia determine gender and that there is no science that disproves it. The article is right however that science has pretty much proven that gender is a multitude of traits, and as with any other collections of biological traits those does not always align in every individual.

I edited the post slightly to hopefully make it more clear.
They are not "rightfully scared." Even if you take the highest number of death estimates -- all the way from the initial incident through the people who died in evacuation all the way those who will die of cancer in 20 years -- the death toll is staggeringly low compared to carbon emissions. It just so happens that radiation is scary and deaths happen all at once.

Of course no-one can argue against it if you re-state it like that. But the paradox goes much further: "Popper asserted that to allow freedom of speech to those who would use it to eliminate the very principle upon which they rely is paradoxical."

There have been several overlapping states of emergency for the last several elections; in fact, the US has been in a State of Emergency with regard to Iran since 1979; there are, I believe, in the neighborhood of 30 active states of emergency.

When you take into account he amount of energy that has been produced by nuclear power since the 50s, I'd say we have a pretty good record when it comes to overall safety.

The biggest problem with Chernobyl was the reactor design, which had a positive void coefficient, which outside of something like CANDU reactors is considered insane today. It’s true that their experiment with simulated blackout was the proximal cause, but the fact that increased steam production led to higher power output was the big factor that made it such a huge disaster.

JIT with type specialization can do exactly that. It's all about whether the runtime cost is worth it.
This is not the reason, actually. Laws can apply to different types of actors, it has been traditionally read that "natural persons" are flesh and blood human beings, while "persons" can include organizations, this interpretation is part of how companies can be legally held responsible for their actions and really _really_ regrettable and complex. It is possible that the 1st Amendment text was written prior to the distinction between "persons" and "natural persons" was clear, and that has been argued - but for the time being all "persons" are afforded free speech, including corporations.
