Men are the minority gender on US university campuses, yes.

> The male-female ratio in higher education has been steadily moved in favor of the females ever since the 1970s. Total enrollment figures show that females outnumbered their male counterparts for the first time in the late 1970s, and they have steadily increased their numerical advantage ever since. The superiority first came in public universities, but soon private universities saw female enrollment surpass male enrollment.

University feminism has been a majority power movement for an entire generation.

Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection cant cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. i read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of herpes, hiv, diabetics etc by Dr. Ogba Kosu herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with hiv for the past 7 years but Dr. Ogba Kuso cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes and they were cured too .I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster, he cast spells to restore broken marriages and a good luck spells to prosper and excel in life. Contact Dr. Ogba Kosu on:drogbakosu@gmail.com

You are saying that the words 'rob' and 'steal' don't convey what has happened here, but this is only true in the colloquial sense. There is a good reason why many legal codes and laws start off with a exhaustively long list of definitions. Legal definitions often are different in very subtle ways that maybe aren't apparent at first glance.

If you don't think that this is the proper framing, maybe consider a different one. It is clear that there is definitely room to interpret this as a civil or criminal act regardless of how the parties craft their arguments. For example, imagine an employee that copies company data, even if it has no actual value under their authorized username/password on the last day of work. This is often charged as a clear criminal offense. So to reiterate, employee with authorization to access dataset, copies a large dataset with no obvious monetary value on their last day of work, but one that they weren't given permission to copy. There are cases that have been literally this, and it is easy to see how this incident could line up with this legal approach.

I think you are fixating too much on a critique of the specific charge listed by the top of this thread. I was defending the idea that there would probably be a way to go about mounting a case in that way. You seem to think that this is the incorrect legal framing for this, which is totally fine. The legal process is more of a subjective art than a science.
I originally came across dynamic programming when attempting to implement the "seam carving" algorithm used in content aware image resizing (and, to my understanding, used in a handful of smart image editing features in Photoshop these days)

Just saying "biological differences" is too handwave-y I think. I'm a programmer and not a scientist of any kind but I would guess we go against our biology in many, many ways in modern day-to-day life, and without better justification it feels a bit silly to run with this reasoning for a clearly complicated issue. If it were a truly unsolvable problem, then I assume we would never make any progress, but that's not the case.
How exactly is not building up industries going to help out a country that has negative population growth? What do you want them to do, stop being productive industrially, and just make babies like various 3rd-world nations that have no industry and lots of starving people?
"Obviously the media portrayal of Tiananmen square is a lie. Tank man never happened, protesters were never harmed or killed. Anyone who posts this is spreading lies!"
Btw, apparently the idea itself that Christianity separated from Judaism two thousand years ago is imprecise. What is considered to be Judaism today is just one of the sects that were born in Palestine approximately two thousand years ago- in other words, rabbinical Judaism is not even an ancestor of Christianity, it's a sibling.
The history of law enforcement certainly seems to be a long line of misguided actions with results we might not expect / incentives that are not good.
Arguably, hiring a moving truck just to ship my grandmother's dining table across the country every 2-3 years is less ecologically sound than buying a flatpack from Ikea when I arrive and selling the furniture used when I'm ready to leave.

>As long as they don't all need 2 pilots. I'd really like to see self-driving planes, must be easier than self-driving cars surely? (And, yes, I would fly in one)

The issue I think is that airplane autopilots rely significantly on sensors which occasionally fail. That means self-flying planes must be able to cope with sensor failures which generally means falling back to visual cues. Self-driving cars that rely just on cameras (rather than LIDAR) are a point of debate regarding their feasibility. Planes that would have to rely on just cameras likely have the same issues.

You know exactly what it means and maybe you're moving into semantic disagreement. Google does not sell the raw user information itself to its paying customers but it does sell it indirectly by giving them access to excellent targeting tools based on all those things it knows about you, me and X and Y individuals. Maybe im not being perfectly precise but to me that fits the bill for buying information indirectly.

I am an anaesthetia doctor. There is, in fact, only mixed evidence of checklists actually helping in various health systems around the world. At a national level, Scotland began using checklists, but the whole health system and population is always in flux, so attribution of such a big change just to checklists is bold. It may also be that checklists do (temporarily?) improve broken or highly resource constrained peri-operative care: but this leaves open the question as to whether correcting underlying staff/morale/equipment/logistic problems would have, or should, play a role.

Checklists I have seen used during my career are often rushed through, with more time usually being spent appropriate to the complexity of a situation. Local culture will strongly impinge on effectiveness of (yet another?) checklist. The safety culture in medicine is improving dramatically, but there is tension between protocolizing everything into checklists, and individualizing care to each patient. AI will be part of the solution to this.

An important checklist commonality in medicine is the request that _anyone_ should speak up if they think something is wrong. In analyzing situations where patients were harmed, e.g. wrong side surgery, it is common to hear that someone, a nurse, a technician, did notice, but was not empowered to speak up. As a doctor, I am used to the power to speak up and act, but I value others' eyes in many situations. More complex and highly dynamic medical situations will always require the attention, knowledge and skill of those involved.
That's not "getting their act together". That would be supporting GBM instead of pushing their EGLStreams thing.

Hi FB employee -- I very much disagree with your position. The external reality is far from what you have said.

* Criticisms of FB are not exaggerated. In this case, FB stole 1.5 million creds, then used these creds to harvest user data (nobody actually wants to give this data away, it was taken by force). If an individual did this, they would be in prison. FB gets away with it... again..

* People inside FB are a cult. It has been shown that MZ will lie about verifiable facts, even to congress! Its wilful suspension of reality for the sake of a huge paycheck. ... "when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

* FB is doing harm, and Its not on balance greater. Its divisive, promotes untruth, gives a voice to those that really shouldn't have a voice, spreads misinformation, promotes hate and dismantles democracy. Not to mention... Ostracization? Murder? Genocide? Exactly how many FB whistleblowers have existed in history?
Is this worth it so people can share cat and dog pictures, and stolen memes from other media? I'd say, no.

* One of the most troubling moments in my recent history was visiting India, and seeing how FB is so influential in general discourse. I had people tell me great, unjust untruths like they were facts -- "I read it on facebook".

* If FB has no users anymore, it has no advertisers, it goes away. Better for the world!

FB is arguably the most destructive force of the 21st century. We will never be free until we shake its iron grip on humanity.

It's odd to me that you circumscribe justice to only "minorities".

On the left, we don't use the word "minority" any longer, because the number of people in the group is largely immaterial in its marginalization.

Instead, we talk about "marginalized" groups which, regardless of their size, face systemic disadvantages peculiar to themselves. I consider the American white masses to be marginalized in ways made clear to me by Nancy Isenberg's "White Trash"[1], despite our numerical predominance (and complementary privileges).

So when one seeks to falsify Feminism, it doesn't strike me as remotely relevant to discuss the overall ratio of women:men. Women's marginalization is no less significant because it's widespread. To falsify Feminism, instead, one must adopt immutable definitions of "women" "men", I think.

I haven't personally teased apart my own socialized gender ontologies, however.

I always saw these tons of little packages as a bad idea as they make package management (from the user's perspective) harder, they do not really provide any space benefit (code is small), if anything they make loading slower (i wrote a benchmark some time ago and a binary linked against a single dynamic library with tons of exports was faster to load than a binary linked against several dynamic libraries with fewer exports - but overall the same number of imports) and AFAIK the OS wont keep the entire library in memory anyway if it isn't needed (if anything the extra housework needed to all the libraries are probably a net negative). And of course these intimidating lists.

And in practice applications do not use one or two of them, they use several of them and those libraries bring in several others, etc like spaghetti (so you have Konsole relying on Phonon as mentioned in another reply).

Are you serious? Lies are and should be protected under free speech.

There was a time that the scientific community believed the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. People with different opinions should not be forcefully silenced. The government should not be able to decide which ideas are "lies."

In this case, Facebook can ban anyone they want, but that has nothing to do with free speech.

Thanks. Do I understand right that the Bayesian gaussian-process things people do here use only the fully trained loss as input, i.e. just one number L(W), being minimised over W? As opposed to something more detailed about the model, viewed as generating probabilities perhaps, or having training history.

Big nearly-flat areas aren't really a new feature of hyperparameter problems... I guess the exact choice of algorithm would depend on how common they are, and maybe Nelder-Mead would be a poor choice. (And I'm not sure how easy it is to parallelise.)

And who defines “hate speech” and how do we know we’ll still agree with them tomorrow?

I realize that this is specifically talking about UK groups and that even in the US the 1st only applies to the government and not to any private person or entity, but it amazes me how many people complain about the massive amount of information Facebook has about them, complain about how Facebook has misused or sold that data, and then complain that Facebook hasn’t banned someone they find offensive.

Communication has become insanely centralized in recent years. Facebook can’t be trusted to have or use your information, but you’re fine with them being the free speech police?

This is an example of where a topics based news aggregation and discussion would be better rather than article based aggregation and discussion. Instead of getting one side's story (one article), how great would it be if we had a "CERN gender topic" and a list of articles about that topic that encompasses all sides ( and possibly different regions ). Beyond one side or the another, wouldn't it be interesting to see what indians, chinese, south americans, africans, etc think of it too? I'm sure this topic is a lot more nuanced and complex than either side lets on and I feel these issues lend themselves to topic based aggregation and discussion. Just an opinion.

But whatever side you are on, I think the real issue here is the personal and professional attacks this academic got for providing an honest opinion ( backed by stats and sources ). The viciousness displayed by his fellow phycists and CERN as an organization is really disappointing as is their attempt to silence him. One of the basis of academia is the idea of "devil's advocacy". Where you or someone takes the other's side in order to getting a fuller understanding of any topic. How is any discussion possible when the opposing side is silenced?
The internet is not a protected platform, you do not have a right to free speech on other people's websites. The 'safe harbor' excuse that Cloudflare is known for using isn't going to cut it, and Facebook sees the writing on the wall.

If you think deleting viral lies on the internet is censorship, then you're really not going to like how social media is going to develop over the next 5 years.
I disagree - some lies shouldn't be protected speech. Where I'm from it's illegal to say that Holocaust didn't happen and for a good reason.

The top-paying subfields in finance, medicine, sci/tech, are all heavily affected by the "people vs. things" distinction that the article talks about, in being highly skewed towards "things". (Business management actually has similar problems as managers are heavily selected for being risk-loving and it's well-known in the social-science literature that women tend to be more careful than men at assessing risk.) There might be more hope wrt. the people-focused part, and we do see women having quite a bit of success there, even more so in parts of the world like East Asia where contemporary feminist ideology, with its pandering to wishful thinking and populism while neglecting the facts on the ground (as described by OP) is not really a major focus compared with the West.
Regardless of what you think of him, I think that the press has a right to know about trials that are going on. There should not be press blackouts and media bans on reporting ongoing trials that are underway. I do think he is a racist, but in the US, the thing that rocketed him to recent fame would never have happened. In the US we are allowed to know about trials and the media is allowed report on them when they are happening.

> Linux survived these attacks. Debian survived them. Ubuntu did. More or less all Linux distributions have been attacked but survived, many of them thrive.

Really? Is there a huge market of mainstream consumer Linux software which I've missed in the past 3 decades of using it?

The answer is, of course, no. Linux distributions have mostly been used by developers and other IT people and there's never been the equivalent of the mainstream mobile app ecosystem used by people who are asked to make critical security decisions which they don't know how to answer. If there was an equivalent, there would be the same sleazy sites pushing free porn, games, taking successful apps and repackaging them, etc. that we see in the mobile/Windows desktop world, and normal people would routinely be socially-engineered to get access to free stuff, just as Linux users have for years been fooled into running binaries or installing packages. This isn't more widespread because there's not much money in it but if that were to change it would immediately require the same kind of hardening which every other consumer OS has had to make.

the same is happening with cars and phones. Physics, ergonomics and supply chains lead manufacturers converge towards similar designs. There is almost no way around it once things mature.
