I don't believe this fear involves "the truth." The fear is that a true thing (there are cognitive differences between men and women) will be used to bolster a lie (men and women should be excluded from varying industries based on reductive readings of physical generalizations). This is something that has happened repeatedly throughout history and along many dimensions; it's not an unfounded fear.

That you seem to think "something" should be done at all in response to this study only validates the fear.
Not really a blog per say, but repl.it has a simple html, css, js hosted solution that is free and easy to to edit code on. I hear they are working on a template, but for now you can just drop some simple code in their online IDE to get a WEB 1.0 blog up and running. Serves over https, and custom domains if you have one to use. Can edit from mobile or browser as the ide is browser based. I have a blog example at johnelam.io for reference.
I’ve recently switched to ProtonMail. Here are my takeaways:

- web client and mobile clients are functional for day to day work.

- IMAP integration (only in paid version) is a SNAFU and basically does not work.

- support responds to emails, but slowly (takes them 24-48 hours).

- importing messages is possible via the (beta) ImportExport tool. The tool is not 100% stable yet, so prepare to waste half a day on it.

Honestly, I was disappointed by how some of their software is garbage (esp. the IMAP integration). As security starts with good software practices, it makes me wonder if their service is actually that secure...
It’s by design of the Apache license that aws can canopy and earn billions. That’s the whole point. It’s a feature, not a bug.

If a creator thinks that it is wrong to take without giving, there are lots of other licenses for different philosophies.
I know you mean well, and I'm glad this exists and that you reminded me of it (I now remember having seen it before), but this isn't enough to invalidate my point. The installation instructions are… barely okay. AUR… okay, I guess. What would people on Debian-based platforms, like the very popular Ubuntu, do? Compile from source?

Let's see what the README says: “I know this is a bit clunky, but using the command interface for interactions makes the plugin usable in clients that do not have a GUI.”

So now I get to explain this to the other people I was using Pidgin+OTR with too, right? (Also I get to have to remember what the commands are, because I won't be using them frequently.)

I mean, this can also be phrased as one of the disadvantages of being part of the earlier installed base, but on a wider scale, buildup of legacy resistance is one of the things that you wind up having to overcome if you want to introduce new features that aren't strictly optional—which is kind of why we still don't really have secure email that doesn't take massive cognitive overhead in “remembering which things people are using” and massive social overhead in negotiating about it and being prepared for all sorts of responses.

(Added:) And to make sure I'm not accidentally taking this into the weeds, the incompatibility was introduced AFAIK when Conversations dropped OTR. That means any Pidgin clusters suddenly take on a big UI and polish downgrade for their E2E if they want to stay interoperable. I'm not meaning to criticize this specific plugin so much as to point out that there wasn't enough overall coordination between seemingly-major clients to stop this from happening.
I don't want to call anything without dedicated gates and hard traces a 'PLC'.

You have a computer there; something that isn't continuously integrating results via hardware but is rather emulating that in software.

The future probably has more of those systems than what I think of when I hear PLC, and maybe that industry has loosened the terms since I was in college, but it's important to call tools what they are so that their shortcomings are obvious.
If the EU doesn't want the UK to leave, then its best option is the give the UK as much rope as it needs to hang itself, and pray that the UK comes to its senses, instead of giving it more time to negotiate a Brexit that will actually get parliamentary support.

"We'll hold another referendum, and cross our fingers that this time, it will vote remain" isn't exactly satisfying to the EU.
Thanks! I did look at thredis originally, but the github seemed to not have been maintained at the time.
While possibly valid criticisms, these all seem rather irrelevant to the comment you are replying to, which was asking about server-facing features, of the type whose absence would justify discriminating on the basis of user agent and not even attempting to run $FANCY_WEB_APP.
Microsoft isn't complaining... Edge is moving to Blink/Chromium even.
That codebase really has exceptional organization/comments.
Well yeah. Non work email is like a letter, I fell no pressure to answer quickly but answer I will.
From Wikipedia:

"ProtonMail maintains and owns its server hardware and network in order to avoid trusting a third party. It maintains two data centres in Lausanne and Attinghausen (in the former K7 military bunker under 1,000 meters of granite rock) for redundancy. Since the data centres are located in Switzerland, they are legally outside of US and EU jurisdiction. Under Swiss law, all surveillance requests from foreign countries must go through a Swiss court and are subject to international treaties. Prospective surveillance targets are notified and can appeal the request in court."

"As of December 2018, FastMail and all other Australian companies are subject to the Assistance and Access Bill, which compells them to provide backdoors for accessing encrypted communications if warranted by law enforcement. The company stated that concerns over the bill has affected their business."
Wow. And the Sun is even closer than Mercury (on average).

OSS but owned totally by google.

I don't believe such a product should get any credit for being OSS. It will never do what the community wants.

It's far from clear-cut that the way automation is happening is advisable, however conservative it might appear to be, and I'm sure you'd agree that there are many confounding variables that make it difficult to say just what is responsible for the trajectory of aircraft safety. There's not much of a control group of advanced modern aircraft which omit automated features.
Enthusiasm, as a matter of fact.
Minio is an S3 proxy, allowing you to use different storage backends with systems that support S3-compatible blob storage (like Seafile).

In my case I have Minio in front of Azure blob storage, so Seafile is storing data in that.

I host Seafile and Minio using Docker Compose, which was super-simple to get started with.
Topic 1: novice public speakers make those sounds because they draw their learning and experience from conversation. In a conversation, you're taking turns, and doing some noise is the signal that you're not yielding your turn yet. When speaking in public, at least in the context of a civilized presentation, you don't need it, because the audience has tacitly agreed to just listen to you, but your conversational habits are so ingrained that you still apply them by sheer habit.

Topic 2: the reason you can't concentrate on what you're saying is that a group paying attention to what you're saying is a threatening situation, and you are in alert mode, probably adrenaline and other related signals high in your bloodstream. It's pretty hard to concentrate in your thoughts about whatever rational topic while you're body is telling you every way it can that you are in danger. You can't speak well in public until you stop feeling in danger, and the best way to get there is to do it a lot. Maybe you are in danger, because a large number of people's judgement of you may be swayed with just one sentence you said, but you just need to get accustomed to a higher-stakes game (or drop it, you don't have to, but that's what it is). Source: developer who's been programming for 30 years and who's done a ton of stand-up comedy in the last 5. Nothing like that to really become good at public speaking...
We're also required to have machines in the polling place for those with disabilities. These too produce paper records, that the voter can review. California went all-in on recording elections after the debacle in Florida in 2000.

Actually they absolutely do. You need to do mitigations against fingerprinting in order to protect privacy.
Genuine question: most countries in the world are not part of EU. The US, Japan, China etc are all doing fine and have good trade agreements in place with EU. No company is leaving from these countries because they don't happen to be in EU. What am I missing?

What programming language is used for the avionics?
I find it a lot more likely that those people were vegetarians, rather than vegans.

Or they were very limited in number and relied on their surrounding societies much more than people with a non-vegan diet.
I agree. That being said, and all caveats about Apple software, privacy, etc aside, using iMessages to text people from my laptop feels a little like the old AIM days.
Right, but once this is implemented there is no excuse for audio to be "sent home".

Of course there will still be usage analytics, etc. But it does increase privacy to some degree, especially when compared to sending all audio after a certain phrase is mentioned.

Physical Inactivity Is Not a Human Quality – Even in Modern Society
been using Google Voice for several years now for most of my communications in text, email, slack, whatever (only on phone, of course).

it is quite good, and very fast. but it's still not there. it has trouble with nuances like "call" vs "called" -- can't hear that suffix very well in regular speech. for me, it also has a really hard time with pronouns.

many times I'll start off with regular speech, go to look at what was transcribed and notice a couple errors that would make me look like a fool, backspace the whole thing, and then repeating it all gain in a very robot like voice.

it's almost there.
I'd be more inclined to think that the two trends share a cause, rather than cause one another.
That's a weak way to address it. You don't start using opioids right after losing your job. There's a period when you're trying to find another job and keep yourself productive. Looking at short-term shocks is obviously flawed.
> You know what happens if the same thing happens with most SPAs? It throws away my unsaved data and puts me back on the starting screen.

This is just bad design though. Obviously the dust isn't settled on the whole html5 technology yet, but for anyone who is wondering how to make an SPA more resilient to network instability, the solutions are: axios-retry, idempoteny PATCH/PUT, service workers, basic error handling, and always have the URL represent where the user is.
The problem is somewhat recursive. Ideally, politics wouldn't get in the way of accumulating the data. Ideally, unverified data would stay out of our public/institutional/organizational decision-making processes until the dust has settled (studies reproduced, methodologies fully critiqued, synthesized into frameworks that square large amounts of high-quality data, frameworks withstand decades of counter-proposals and attempts at falsification...).

But it doesn't really work like that. If the results sound salacious, they'll get picked up in the science/popular press. Someone else might destroy it later, but no one's going to update every PDF, abstract and bit of news coverage to note it was destroyed. Even if the destroyal is so salacious that everyone trying to use the result as a buttress for their favorite ideological/policy positions sees it, they have to have the intellectual integrity to stop trying to use it that way. And people they're using it on have to be curious enough and capable of finding out that it's been destroyed.

(To be clear; I don't think this means we should avoid researching uncomfortable/controversial topics.)

I'm a Mozilla employee. I'm not speaking for the org as a whole, but I share your view, and I'd expect most/many other employees to agree with you on that point.

Pages should strive to be compatible with all browsers, and self-dealing in the space of compatibility is something that would go against the ethos and mission (IMHO, and I would expect many others).

That said, I expect that we would support a similar campaign, just advocating for Firefox using other points instead of "best viewed" style compatibility.

Hi guys,

This is an interesting product! I generated a sample document to see what it looked like and I was impressed by both the simplicity of the document generation process and the quality of the output. I also think it is great that there is no signup, email, or any other gatekeeper preventing me from using the service.

I frequently find myself involved in early stage projects where these sort of legal documents would be very handy. I would love to see the document types that you're already working on, as well as perhaps a freelance / work for hire Letter of Agreement, as many startups begin by putting food on the table consulting.

A few things about the service:

1. What license, if any, are these documents generated under? I know sites like contractology let you use the docs for free but require attribution, or they can be used without attribution for a small fee.

2. Other than official legal review, do you plan to monetize any aspect of the service, such as the customization offered in the fifth point in the "main differences" section? Why or why not?

3. Where are your market size estimates coming from? Is the market that you are measuring the total amount that startups spend per year on legal expenses, or is it something else?

4. I was confused by some of the wording during the signup process "No I Makes sense, if pilot is very simple," for example, was an option.

Regarding the fourth point, I have some experience working with European companies to improve the fluency of their website's English business and technical writing. My email is in my profile if you are interested in learning more.
I'm unclear on if this moves the privacy needle. It says they do offline translation, but they still may attempt to send the audio clip to compare with the resulting text translation.

It could be used to improve privacy, I just don't know if it will be used that way.

§ 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.

Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:

(a)Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.

(b)Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.

(c)Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

(d)Helicopters, powered parachutes, and weight-shift-control aircraft. If the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface -

(1) A helicopter may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, provided each person operating the helicopter complies with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA; and

(2) A powered parachute or weight-shift-control aircraft may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section.
If the electrical failure is severe enough to lose control authority, it seems just as likely that a hydraulic system would have failed. These planes are just too large to operate the controls mechanically, so in practice there is just as much to fail in a hydraulic system as electrical control, since both require power.
Thank you for your comment! It would work if you have a US company or are selling to US customers, but, unfortunately, we don’t have documents for India yet. We may expand into this market later, but for now we are focusing on US. You can also benefit from the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy we will launch soon, since they are pretty international.
The French Betrayal and Pragmatic Foreign Policy
Do you know how the people who work on vue.js get paid? Do they have fulltime jobs as employees? Do they get paid to work on vue.js?

I find in general it's easier to get free labor on something the newer it is. Both because it's more exciting, and because the more 'mature' something gets the _more work it is_ for _less gain_, there's more time dealing with backwards compat and filing off rough edges and keeping the existing code just working, which is all less interesting to do for free. Plus, the more mature something is, the _more work_ it _takes_ to keep it going.

What amazes me is the lack of empathy the ruling classes have to those people, especially under the Obama administration when this epidemic started and nobody was trying to do anything or help in any way. Is it because it is a predominantly white phenomenon and therefore they all considered to be privileged who deserve no empathy?

Secondary - In support of Revenue KPI

We believe that a privacy respecting service accessible beyond the reach of Firefox will provide a valuable platform to research, communicate with, and market to conscious choosers we have traditionally found hard to reach.

We will know this to be true when we can conduct six research tasks (surveys, A/B tests, fake doors, etc) in support of premium services KPIs in the first six months after launch.

Yes. In practice the UK would have to ask the EU for an extension, or article 50 could be retracted and resubmitted, achieving the same thing. There would be political barriers to doing that so the EU does have some bargaining power.

Many people get an overwhelming amount of email.

Also once you move from college into the working world you have a work email separate from home email typically. I check my work email daily of course since it’s critical to my job, but I can go days without checking personal emails.

Most of the content of my personal email is hardly time sensitive and a lot of it is advertising or news I haven’t opted out of (although I have gmail filters and tabs). It’s not like IM where I would use to check and respond immediately because I only ever got messages from friends.
Your customers might pay to identify the people sitting at the browsers pulling down your data. A CDN is the ultimate unblockable cookie that could correlate everything else.

What’s “hard evidence”?

There are no shortage of published studies about the health benefits in humans. You might start with “Curcumin: A review of its effects on Human Health”. “Research suggests that curcumin can help in the management of oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, Anxiety, and hyperlipidemia.” The same study finds it may also help with exercise induced inflammation and muscle soreness, speeding up recovery in active people and a low dose can provide health benefits for people who have no diagnosed Heath conditions. Available at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

UCLA just published a study that curcumin improves memory and mood.
The black box has been recovered. The data is probably being recovered as we pontificate. Within the next 48-72 hours I expect someone will know definitively if the MCAS system was even active, and if trim was a factor in this crash.

Given that this significant data point is hours or just a couple days away, isn’t it prudent to get the data before grounding the fleet?

If the jet had been brought down intentionally, should the FAA have grounded the aircraft? Crashes like this are so incredibly rare, and on a new aircraft perhaps the easy decision is to just ground it. But shouldn’t that require actual evidence on the cause of the crash?

Witness accounts are of the plane trailing smoke and debris, but I don’t trust those at all. I feel like given that we will know definitively if trim was a factor in the crash so soon, a decision should only be made once that is known.
