Great question. Unrelatedly, mind if I correlate your medical history and a genetic profile of you with your purchase history at three major retail chains and the contents of your inbox?

Bad point. Violating the privacy of individuals is worlds different from studying gender differences on average.

(... everything has a political dimension, including data accumulation. Because ultimately, humans use the data, and what humans do is politics).

But from that, it can't follow that we should alter the results to avoid hurt feelings. That would render the "data" no better than mythical just-so stories. Politics should be subservient to empirical data and science. We've seen what doing it the other way results in historically.

Bitcoin is internet money. Yes, it is also totally full of scams, pump and dump schemes and everything else, but it is the nearest analog to the web for money anybody has come up with. It is decentralized, open, resistant to attack and open to everyone on the globe.

Whether it is viable from a political (and to some extent technical) aspect is still an open question, but as a standard it is pretty awesome.

I don't know if it will last or manage to deliver on its promises in the end, but for me it fits in the same mold as the original web.
Redis Cluster can be abstracted away only understanding the Redis protocol and how clients should communicate with the different Redis instances. It's not just a matter of sending TCP data to multiple ends.
Whether you think it's tax fraud probably depends on what purpose you think being able to deduct donations to non-profits serves.

I would say that every donation carries with it the possibility of some benefit to the donator, no matter who does it. There's always the public relations or social benefit or being seen as "doing a good thing". Without this benefit, some amount charity might go away. Does it matter that people or organizations give because they see benefit to themselves in it? I think not, and I think the tax law is set up specifically to turn a blind eye to this. In that respect, it's not fraud at all, it's how the system is designed to work to promote charitable giving.

Also, since to my understanding most of this "advertising" for donations which results in naming a building is to individuals, it also depends on how you classify advertising. Is establishing a legacy for yourself so you're looked on favorably after you're dead advertising? We generally don't call it as such, but even it is, so what? Does is promote more good or harm to society in general? That's the only metric we should measure it by.

> We also once had a managed market for wheat sales

You're probably thinking of tobacco, which lost its supply managed status in 2009 under the Tory government you speak. Wheat was never supply managed in Canada, only diary, poultry, and formerly tobacco.

Wheat and barley operated under the single desk principle. The mandatory pool operated by the CWB, which the Tories also shut down, only applied to western provinces. Ontario had/has its own wheat board, now known as Grain Farmers of Ontario. Ontario farmers voted to eliminate the mandatory pool in the late 90s and was completely phased out by 2003, although an optional pool remains.
Insurance for loss-of-use is quite common (edit: in other industries—no idea for aviation), though it's normally (AFAIK) for natural disasters and other random occurrences.

> Are you really saying that Apple has no competition in computers?

They can have no competition for their computers when other people are selling computers. The reason the pricing power standard is used in antitrust is that a intuitively appealing descriptive category may not actually be a domain in which all products are actually considered against each other by purchasers and thus may not actually be a single market within which competition occurs.

> They out competed.

That's usually how younger a monopoly, other than a government grant or leveraging another existing monopoly.

It's not a contradiction to having a monopoly.

This post contains many factual or implication errors.

Monoculture isn't new, and isn't driven by corporate megafarms. Monoculture is as old as human civilization. Planting large areas of land with a single crop is just the default way of doing things. It was made more solid not recently, but 100 years ago with mechanization. Crop rotation though has been a part of agriculture for thousands of years and is still done at any scale.

Almost all mass produced crops are F1 hybrids. There isn't "one strain" being planted en mass. Hybrids are tuned to have different features depending on need. Different climates will use crops with varying days to maturity. Different fields or sections of fields will use hybrids for drought/flood tolerance, resistance to different pests or diseases (which are cyclical and regional), and different end uses (grains for cattle feed, for brewing into biofuels, for oil extraction, for human consumption, etc.), and for different soil conditions.

This is in contrast to the common FUD about bananas which are indeed all exact genetic copies and have gone through a global crop failure in the past.

>We've not just improved farming efficient. We've gutted the natural robustness of what used to be a distributed agricultural system.

I don't know when you think this natural robustness golden age was, but crop failures have been around as long as human civilization and we are now more prepared and resilient to these things than any time before, not less, because there are a large number of people with a lot of interest in designing the plants we use to survive to be able to respond to a variety of conditions.
You're loosely defining 'data' here in a totally different context. My context (and the thread) is scientific data. Your context for the same word with the same sound and spelling in English that means a different thing is, personal data.

No, I wasn't referring to collecting your social security number or address for science. We were talking about uncomfortable conclusions in neurology research.
Taber is a consultant to corporate California produce farms and has a lot of unjustified hate towards dairy farms (in her own words she plays it up as some sort of "turf war" between produce and livestock farms). Her demolishing "a cute lil farmhouse with 1-2 cows or a microdairy with 8 cows" strawman and doing a "corporate consolidation good" song and dance, not mentioning the reality of that being 30K+ cow CAFOs and the unavoidable destruction to the land that entails, is just intellectually dishonest.

The argument that "the gap disappears when accounting for gender-specific choices" is made as an explanation of why the gap exists, which is entirely different to an argument that the gap is not significant. Such an argument would arguably be specious; the income gap is obviously still there and arguably it has negative social effects, so offsetting it via gender-dependent redistribution could well make sense.
A friend of mine, from high school (~1994), had the experience of being in a family that won the state lottery. He skipped high school a lot after that, driving around in his new car. Later, I heard his parents bought him a degree from USC. USC has had a reputation in California of corruption for decades. This story should not be a surprise for many.
Your carrier tells you which type of plane you're on. As you've noticed, there are also other sources for this information.

Most of Southwest's fleet are standard 737s. If you're not that familiar with the various models, it's probably not worth making a rash decision over.

Regardless, this will be sorted out, one way or another, in a month.

I did care enough to ensure my Southwest flight 2 days ago was not on a Max, though.
YES. THIS. I always wonder why this argument is not more popular.

The animal welfare argument IS valid but is not going to land with a lot of people. Pointing out these industries are getting a free ride, however...

It's the subsidies that tick me off.

We should be a civilization of mostly plant-eaters with the occasional dairy and meat meal.

Instead, we are a civilization of carnivores because we subsidize the meat industrial complex so heavily. We should internalize the cost of pollution these industries create, not give them free money to continue destroying the planet.
> So how do we trust third party software not to be collecting data and sending it back?

How do we trust that Chrome or Windows isn't currently?

It's the customer giving the software access to the data. Facebook has no more to do with it than gmail has to do with whether you use Thunderbird or Outlook.

> My browser doesn’t have access to scrape all of my Facebook information and all of my friends FB information.

Neither would this need to. It has your Facebook credentials and accesses Facebook as you. No special rights, just the ability to do use Facebook in a consolidated interface without ending up in court.

It couldn't do anything a malicious browser couldn't do with your Facebook cookie.

You're right that by modern standards, the man looks like a quack. But by historical standards, he moved the field of psychology towards science. While other "psychologists" were still measuring brain dimensions (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology), Freud was at least conducting interviews, studying patients, and writing up case-studies.

The actual scientists who employed the scientific method (Pavalov, Skinner, etc. etc.) would enter the field decades after Freud. For better or worse, the best psychologist in the 1890s was Freud. Since Freud has huge impact on the field of Psychology, he's important to study (especially with regards to "movie psychology": the commonly-believed false-psychology propagated by fiction).

In any case, the article draws "Willpower's" historical basis to the rough time period immediately before Freud (the 1850s). That alone is sufficient to bring suspicion to our understanding of "Willpower".
I feel like I need lazy days about 1/2 of all days. Maybe this has to do with how I meter out my deep(er) work.

I typically procrastinate enough that I spend 10 to 12 hours the day an assignment is due to get it done. Part of that is I get stressed out thinking about the assignment prior to when it is due, so I put it off.

I've been reading GTD and I think at least part of my stress response is not having clear outcomes or clear next steps... I've been working to clarify my most important (time sensitive) projects and it seems to be helping some.

It's not inhibiting any scientists I have ever worked with or for.

It is inhibiting scientists from communicating with the public. Tenured professors in the field are fearful or hesitant to do this now. Some professors are being actively targeted.

Many members of the public have highly distorted views of the science. In only the past two years, I've heard more times than I can count on the digits of all of my limbs, from well educated professionals, that all gender differences are the result of a patriarchal conspiracy.
It wasn't supply managed in the way that dairy was, but the CWB negotiated for rail access on behalf of independent farmers.

Yeah I get that argument, I read the ACLU post a while ago I belive, although I think it is overly simplistic and ignores some serious ramifications.

I'm not familiar with tax deductible donation related law, but in that case, universities need to make sure they aren't breaking the law. Is that what's happening?

>Can someone (likely younger than me) explain to me why the concept of gender-associated cognitive differences has become so controversial, and why the “blank slate hypothesis” is the only one considered acceptable?

For "social sciences" it's easy, they are mostly fashion.

For harder sciences, well, with enough people pushing, they will promote whatever doesn't cost them grants. It's not like most of the studies are well done or reproducible anyway.
You can still do that if that's what you want? Putting a website online isn't any harder today than in the past.

> there was no evidence that unauthorized parties had accessed customer data located in Starwood's guest reservation database.

This has to be one of the most disingenuous phrases one could possibly utter about an event like this. The fact that the attacker left no evidence (or that you failed to identify whatever evidence was left behind) in no way assures people that their data wasn't stolen. It's fallacious and it reeks of negligence and a complete disregard for accountability.

Amazon is the one that continues to amaze me. People forget the original pitch to investors was _LOSE_ money for 5 years until they either drove competitors out of business, or became the single largest e-commerce provider. I've never understood how this was legal. It seems like the definition of 'anti-competitive' and 'predatory'? If Microsoft gave a free computer with every purchase of windows, and could afford to continue the practice until Apple, Dell, etc. went bankrupt - would that be ok ?

Because data is subject to political interpretation, and while we'd all like to believe that science is noble, objective, and utterly dispassionate, it really isn't - especially not in the social sciences.

You only have to look at the history of "research" into economics, or race and IQ, or genetics and psychology to see how this works.

It isn't even particularly dispassionate in physics. There's a huge amount of politics involved in deciding which ideas and hypotheses in fundamental physics get time, money, and PhD candidates, and which are considered "the wrong choice for a successful career."

So it is not true that if the science is bad it won't get published. A huge amount of very bad science has been published, and some of it has been used to influence public policy.

I can't think of anything that works better than science, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to treat it as a stand-in for religious infallibility.

Objective insight is a constant struggle against external influences, internal biases, and political conflicts of all kinds. It's not something you get for free from science by pushing a magic button and waiting for Revealed Truth to come out.

I never quite understood why people donate to colleges in such a way that it is the legal entity of the university that benefits.

They provide a service, and they charge money for it. The university operates as a business. I don't donate to Wal-Mart, so why would I donate to University X?

Why wouldn't you instead endow a scholarship for students of your favorite college? Instead of giving cash to Wal-Mart, buy prepaid Wal-Mart gift cards, and pass them out to fellow customers. The university doesn't need your donations. It is fully capable of building its own buildings outright, begging for state funding, or at least issuing bonds backed by future tuition. If someone is so keen on having a building with their name on it, perhaps they should instead construct some off-campus student apartments, and make some nice signs in the same general style as the university signage.
In my case I wasn’t measuring for insulin in the blood I was measuring ketones before and after intake of the various proteins. In the case of whey my ketone readings would be around or above 3 mmol/L and after whey it would be <.5 mmol/L which would be indicative of being knocked out of ketosis through an insulin spike.
> The reality is that the college you attend, especially for undergrad, has relatively little bearing on your life as a whole.

In most cases yes. But when we're talking about elite colleges, it has significant bearing. Living in the dorm with a future CEO may be helpful in your future job search, and if you go to an elite college, you have a much better chance of having done that.

Going to Stanford or Berkeley or MIT or UW and doing CS there will mean that when you graduate, a whole lot of hiring managers will see that you attended the same college they did and give you an automatic boost.

And if you go to USC film school, you're pretty much guaranteed to know someone who will one day be very successful in the film industry and will help you get jobs or connections to have your own projects produced. Heck, the school does that for you.

So yeah, in most cases it doesn't matter, but in some very specific cases it does.
