That's not a rebuttal at all!

I think there is a fundamental assumption gap between you and the people making these videos, hence the disagreement. That is, you don't see it as especially problematic if some votes are important and done properly, and other votes are not important and rushed or mistaken, whereas the "known populists" as you call them (that's not a very effective insult btw) believe that for a House to be trusted and have legitimacy, all votes must be done properly. Most obviously because otherwise whoever runs the voting process can decide that a vote they care about is "not important" and just call the result however they prefer, leaving people to constantly try to chase them and catch up.

It's for this reason they don't bother showing what the votes were about - beyond that we know they were votes on amendments to laws - it's because they don't recognise the distinction between "important" amendments and "not important" amendments. Most obviously because if something isn't important enough to vote on properly why is a government (any government) legislating on it at all?

"The vote is now open" for the final vote, which then takes 20 seconds. EVERYBODY had time to translate, the last couple of seconds is complete silence

This doesn't back up your argument in the way you think it does. What kind of vote only gives 20 seconds for both translation and thinking time?

In the UKIP video it is said that the EP can often vote on more than 1000 things a week, so no wonder they're so rushed. But the problem here is obvious - they shouldn't be voting on 1000 things a week. There can't be any quality legislative scrutiny in such a system, it's a complete farce.

I looked at your report link. It doesn't tell me anything about the quality of the votes or anything relevant to the points the videos are making.

I think it's very clear here that you're determined to make excuses for the EP and take their side because you see the alternative as "populists", which for some reason is a bad thing? The word is defined as "a supporter of the rights and powers of the people" which would appear appropriate here!
These are not necessarily all gender differences; they can also simply be personal differences. For example, I deal worse with bright light than my wife. She does claim women are worse at regulating their temperature and therefore I should keep her warm, but apparently my body does a poor job of that. I certainly dislike cold, but my son loves it (we both hate it when it's too hot).

It's probably a mix of gender-related biological differences, personal differences, and cultural differences. Is it cultural that women are expected to keep going (taking care of children and household) in the face of discomfort, pain, injury and/or illness? Or are they biologically better equipped to do so?

A common (not pain-related) claim used to be that women are better at multi-tasking than men, but as I understand it, that turned out to be caused by cultural expectations, with women culturally expected to manage multiple things at once while men were allowed to focus on a single task. Similarly, other aspects we think of as biological have turned out to be nurture rather than nature.

But there's also likely to be many biological differences that haven't been sufficiently explored yet. As the article points out, research is often done primarily on male mice (and male people), ignoring the possibility that things might work differently for women.

Lately I have done a few at home code challenges for companies. They usually take several hours. They are perfectly functional and use minimal code but, the only feedback I receive is: "we're not moving forward". They won't discuss anything with me. The only impression I get is that your company is terrible and I will never respond to your recruiters again.
I guess it depends on what you call «use». You can read the code, for sure, probably even save it on your disk (it may depend on your jurisdiction though).

But, can you compile it ? I'm not sure… Better ask your lawyer. And what about running the compiled binary ? I don't think you're allowed to do that.
Are you basing it off anything in particular? Like outside of just going through gits own source code?
Averages are not adequate descriptions of situations with bizarre outliers. An ML model that creates nonexistent detail in a medical image screams bizarre outliers.
Spit balls were originally banned ostensibly for batter safety. This was in an era before batting helmets and replacing the ball nearly every time it touched the ground. It’s not clear that reintroducing it would cause a safety concern, but MLB is interested in having a certain balance of defense and offense and giving the pitchers back the spitter would require some offsetting change for the offense. With the recent clampdown on PEDs, I think the balance is probably temporarily too pro-defense, so it seems unlikely that the league would be inclined to reintroduce.
Basic Concepts of Python
They were former members in those organizations, like army vets, and as far as I understand they face a lot of criticism from the Israeli public, if not the government.

I think they are basically like those vets that go and work security for private contractors, and some of them end up working for some really bad people.

About the backdoors, I can't tell, on the one hand, I would assume you're correct, that they do provide access to the Mossad+friends, but on the other hand, if it was discovered, they would lose credibility, and all those basically bad people wouldn't work with them, and any normal entity probably aren't working with them already, so they would lose their entire business.

-an words are initially nouns that have come to be used as adjectives, while -ish words are only adjectives.

The English language readily makes adjectives from nouns, but not the other way round. Nominalized adjectives are used for collective groups at most (which is why you can say "the French") but rarely become regular nouns.
> Your comment makes it sound as if eating meat is some kind of indulgence, like eating sweets.

Really, it is. It doesn't make a lot of sense to eat meat from an efficiency point of view, or from the sense of impact on the climate.

>Meat is a rich source of protein and energy. We don't need any more justification than that to want to eat other animals.

I don't see how the second sentence follows from the first.

> At the end of the day- many animals eat other animals' meat. Why is it any different for humans to do the same?

Humans plus livestock make up 96% of the biomass of mammals on the planet. Domesticated poultry is 60% of the birds. That makes us a special case in terms of impact, to put it mildly.

From an animal welfare point of view, it's also different to kill a wild animal for food compared to shutting it in a cage and pumping it full of hormones and antibiotics for a few months before killing it.
That's true for sure, but it's worth noting that Facebook's actual customers (advertisers) don't like it much either--many outright hate FB for its business practices.

By providing a dedicated space for writing completely the term, you won’t just promote your students to think their way deeper into the course’s subjects.

(b) with a custom build step you can embed the pdb file into the assembly as embedded resource. not recommended though. the best practice I believe, is to supply a symbol package in parallel to a nuget package. _edit: there's also symbol server_

embedding debug symbols into assembly would be sometimes problematic, especially when you have public and private symbols -- signing three versions of the same assembly is not really a good idea.

(a) (c) I can feel you.. But here's what I've done to this problem:

1. use cmake for the source tree. this way you don't have trouble opening the tree as a whole.
2. in visual studio you can have both the cmake view and a solution view -- you can open a solution right from the cmake view or switch to another.
3. in this way, a solution becomes a smaller unit to organize multiple projects together. in case two projects do not have strong coupling, separate them in different solutions, and use a local nuget package source to reference.
4. of course, you'll have to roll some custom cmake script for managing nuget packages. I've done some work on this, here: https://github.com/Microsoft/GraphEngine/blob/master/cmake/F...

I've been using this approach in a few of projects at work(and also OSS ones). Insofar people are happy with it.

The only sensible reason to not teach algebra in middle school is because you've taught it in primary school.

Moving it to high school sounds crazy to me. What do you do between doing your times tables and fractions in maybe 3rd or 4th grade and 9th grade? Geometry?

I'm any case it's quite fortunate there's online resources like Khan Academy where kids can learn on their own.
Rust is pretty darn portable as it is though. It runs on the major platforms. Are you thinking its Assembly or something? Everywhere FireFox is compiled to Rust has to run on, which is a lot of platforms.

Thanks for pointing this out to me! It's disappointing to hear that, but after reading through the Kiva's response I understand some of the difficulty.

GiveDirectly does something very much like that. It's not quite a one-to-one link (there is a bit of planning involved so that they can do research on the effectiveness of their programs), but still, a very high percentage of what folks donate to them is paid directly to people living in extreme poverty, with little overhead. They have researched what the money is used for, and almost all of that is for either education or acquiring durable capital like you describe.

Not only that. No other animal menstruates quite like humans do either; there's been an arms race between the placenta and the womb, and rather than a safe place to protect the fetus, the womb is more of a safe place to isolate the fetus and manage its access to the mother's resources while keeping the mother safe.

Human pregnancy is messed up beyond the obvious issue of squeezing our large brain through out narrow running hips.
I'm currently working on revamping the way we do the first interview, which is nothing more than a filter.

We currently ask mainly, let's face it, poor theoretical questions.

I want to ask more experience based questions.

so instead of:

Explain what a database index is

Ask:

Can you give us an example of a time you used a database index? What were you trying to achieve? Could there have been a different solution to reach the same outcome?

If the candidate doesn't have experience with databases that's fine we just ignore this question, at least that's what I would like to do, whether I can sell this is another story.

To be sure if the candidate has no database experience, no cloud experience and no backend development experience then it's probably not going to work out but we can try to be flexible about candidate's experience.

It's easy enough to learn what SOLID means but a lot harder to know when it's a bad idea to use it or when it might be a good idea to compromise.

> Spanish might have such an institution, but it evidently does not work - Mexican Spanish != Spanish Spanish

I believe French has this problem as well. I don't speak the language but I don't think the Quebecois and "mainland" French agree on the language or care for each others' variants.
Its not a US thing, other countries such as Germany deal with it by making their hospital doctors work insane hours (manditatory 24 hour shifts on weekends from time to time (400-600€ extra for that unless you are in training, then you just have to do it), one assistant doctor for a psych ward over night) and by introducing collective bargaining. So regardless of whether you are a heart surgeon or a dermatologist you will be paid based on seniority and rank not individual performance. Unions in have for the most part colluded with industry, resulting in an inflation adjusted decrease in average salary over the last 30 years. Paperwork takes up the majority of time for a station doctor, they do a few rounds a day and the rest is spent booking treatments and billing for their patients in their internal 80-90s IT infrastructure.
For me, honest and accurate feedback is the one thing that is missing.

When I get rejected, the response is usually "You are not a good match to our company culture". What I would appreciate would be "Your lack of experience in managing remote teams is a gap for us."

I feel that quality to the pool of candidates will increase once this feedback loop problem is fixed.

To be honest, I wish there was a movement for something like "literate changelog", where the CL was propely linked with something like a blog post, and specific repo versions. I guess Pull Requests sort of take that role.. But sometimes PR diffs aren't the same as annotated code in a blog post.

> What do you do between doing your times tables and fractions in maybe 3rd or 4th grade and 9th grade? Geometry?

Other countries do a sort of "pre-algebra", mostly focusing on non-trivial word problems which are then solved by setting up the equivalent to an algebraic equation, but in natural language arguments as opposed to symbols. AIUI, this sort of onboarding towards algebra is lacking in the U.S. system, and much of the difficulty that folks seem to experience w/ algebra and higher-level math might have something to do with that. (Of course, Geometry could also play a role in filling that gap. Euclidean geometry has traditionally been studied quite early, as a general introduction to mathematical rigor.)

Edit: Discussed in Andrei Toom, Word Problems in Russia and America [pdf] http://www.de.ufpe.br/~toom/travel/sweden05/WP-SWEDEN-NEW.pd... The reference to Russia is a bit misleading - of course Russian math education is traditionally among the strongest and most effective, but the same approach to using word problems as an introduction to algebra is found in plenty of other places.

The major driver of climate change is energy production and transport. We can reduce our impact by limiting those first, before we get to the food we eat. Everybody doesn't need to have their personal automobile or fly everywhere in jets that consume tons of fossil fuels at a time. Everybody doesn't need to go around with a portable computer in their pants. But everybody does need food to eat. Why would we first limit a fundamental need, before unnecessary technologies?

>> I don't see how the second sentence follows from the first.

It follows because we need protein and energy.

>> That makes us a special case in terms of impact, to put it mildly.

That makes us a special case in the way we find meat to eat.

But why are we a special case when it comes to eating meat?

People don't even use the correct possessive version of 'it' on the internet.

Ox became Oxen because the plural 'en' was the productive plural construction at the time, and it made more sense than writing 'Oxes'.

For the other words there might have been a historical reason (or just no reason at all) for it.

> More false positives wouldn't be a problem if CIA or NSA could predict even ONE significant international uprising before it happens.

Just because it's not in the headlines doesn't mean they didn't do anything. It's just that if the successfully stopped a terrorist attack for example, you wouldn't hear about it, both because it's no longer big news (nothing happened), and because those agencies would want to prevent the lose of assets as much as they can, so they wouldn't publish the information either.

I think the CIA and NSA have probably done a lot for the safety of America and US citizens (especially in times of peace). However (based on no evidence, just a hunch) I think that most of those cases, they just needed the basic tools already in their disposal (like monitoring suspects based on actual evidence and following a court order approval), and that the extreme means they use don't have a big impact when it comes to the security of lives (US or global).
What do they mean when they talk about algebra here? Is it simply equations with variables or something more?

I've noticed that as a difference between Car People and Non-car People.

The latter tend to have a backpack or other general-purpose bag with them at all times containing wallet, keys, bottle of water, waterproof jacket, reusable grocery sack etc. After a while it feels naked to go out without it.

Whereas Car People leave that stuff in the car or shove it into bulging pockets.
You're being awfully high and mighty jumping around this thread to criticize what is, on the scale of typical human consumption, really quite minor.

Do you own a car? Have you flown in the last year? Do you eat out or get food delivered to you? How often do you get a new laptop? Do you use air conditioning?

Apparently it's socially acceptable to look down on someone for using plastic bags, but it would be uncouth to suggest that someone use public transport or vacation domestically.

The latter examples would be an actual sacrifice, and we only want to make token gestures to feel good about ourselves and move on with our lives.
Yeah, that felt like a solid punch to the eyes.
