To actually spread and not just maintain a baseline of X% of the population a prions disease needs to have a certain population density because it is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals.

Deer predators have mostly been eradicated in the contiguous US so that leaves humans and "the rest of nature" to control population density. In some areas (e.g. southwest) the land simply cannot support the density of deer population required for the disease to gain a good foothold in the deer population. In other areas human hunting is what's holding the deer population density down. Hunting has become a lot less popular since the 1950s and 1960s and the available places to do it has also dwindled so once CWD gets in it rapidly expands among the local population. See for example the massive red blotches on the map in the Chicago and DMV areas, places nobody is hunting deer so they're free to breed up to whatever population density the environment can support, a density high enough to permit the spread of a prions disease.

Assuming the current path I would expect to see CWD spread throughout most of the more heavily (deer) populated parts of the US and infect whatever % of the deer population it can given the local population density. There's a lot of untapped potential on the east coast.

My stance may be a little stronger than the author's here, but it's something I wish I understood a decade ago.

I used to think that more free time was a key to happiness. Turns out I don't believe that at all now, and most of my free time I spend browsing internet garbage.

I realized that I enjoy challenges and being needed is actually very fulfilling to me, and not something I can just artificially make happen in my free time. As such, perhaps in a more efficient world (where I don't help my neighbor fix their car, don't cook with roommates) I am less happy.

This isn't to say efficiency isn't often good, but I think some of the things it may cost (e.g. fewer possible friendships) may not be worth the price.
But are the high paying roles man-sized or are the men shaping themselves to the high-paying roles?

There is evidence that women are judged by appearance and men by financial success. Even a mild effect would be more than enough to skew the outcomes; it would impact the more competitive representatives of each gender.

A Tale of Tests and Fools in the Land of Asynchronicity
I (and many others) maintain that social security at the federal level is completely unconstitutional, and lament the system that has evolved around using it as the de-facto national identification in the United States. Of course there are externalities associated with the lack of a social safety net for the elderly, and at this point it very well may be "worth it" for the younger generation to pay it to avoid the consequences. What a mess.
A lot of that is due to historical societal reasons. In a society where one gender makes money and the other takes care of kids, I don't know how it could have been any other way.

In today's society, what's fair is for the non-custody parent to help support the children by reimbursing the custody parent. Or in cases of joint custody, the one with higher income reimburses the one with lower income. Which I believe is the way it's done in my state.
>I currently hold these views and neither feminism nor men’s-rights-activists seem to ascribe to those values, at best they pay lip service to the notion that we’re (on average, and grossly generalising) complimentary.

Interesting. I've never really got the impression that Men's Rights Activists ascribe to any specific notion like that. To me the movement seems to be about shedding light on the injustices of our legal systems where men get screwed over: divorce court, custody of a child, alimony, punishments seemingly not being equal between the sexes. I guess they also have an element of fighting against social injustices such as false claims.

I might be wrong though. I might simply be seeing only the things I care about in their movement, since I see it so rarely.
I have a sneaky suspicion you're right, windows generally assumes any 'shared' code will be in DLLs and is optimized around ensuring they are shared as much as possible in memory. It's likely that if the tests were in a DLL vs. the EXE then windows would just share the CFG page for that DLL read only between all the processes and call it done.
> i think OP of this subthread means "new" in the context of human society "new". Several decades is still pretty "new" if you take into account human history.

The "woman stays at home taking care of the children and the man goes out and earns enough to feed the family" concept is also new if you take into account human history.

It got introduced for the most part during the 19th century. Before that you couldn't afford to not let the women work anyway. Actually, during the industrial revolution and the growing social disorder there, you also couldn't afford to not let women and children work but often you had to.

And if you look at the whole of human history, the most common model of raising children was by a whole community. From groups of 5-10 individuals to even larger communities, all were somewhat responsible for and watching the growing children.

The idea that everybody could raise a child with only two or even worse just one parent is laughable if it weren't so sad that it's a common view.

It's not zero extra effort. If you want to maintain your statistical power for both male and female, that means doubling your sample size.

Objection 1:
Given a queue, priority queue, and stack, how do those data structures "just exist", without the behavior associated with them? The interactaction with them is their defining characteristic.

Objection 2: I agree not everything should be an object. However where do you draw the line? To me a timestamp is a perfectly reasonable object. I can see the pros and cons of "3" being an object as well.

Objection 3: I like things to be organized. What benfit do I get by jumbling everything together in one spot?

Objection 4: Yes they do, pretending they don't doesn't help. Even in Haskell, files and sockets are represented as an opaque handle to hidden state. It very much looks like a OO interface in a non OO language. Given the three data structures in objection 1, hiding the state allows for a smaller surface area to prove that the data structures are correctly implemented. Allowing random access to their state does not improve them.
The Anglo-American establishment is a power consensus after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, two world wars and decolonisation. It refers to the hand off of power from Great Britain to the US. It has nothing to do with "Anglo-Americans" unless you're talking about a specific small group of anglophile elite families from the north-east of America with political and industrial wealth. A ruling consensus was established after the Yalta conference and Bretton Woods accord. In the immediate post war period the USSR has lost 30 million people and there is only one global nuclear power. Losing this dominance to the degree of the present world order is the second biggest blunder, should these people also then be completely minimized inside their own nation states by the force of global capital they allowed to emerge would be the biggest yes. It's the equivalent of receiving the entire wealth of the world then losing it in a few generations. What do you find controversial about this? A blunder is an unforced error which greatly diminishes your own position in a game, perhaps leading to a total loss. Or do you believe all human beings are playing equally for the interest of all others?

> I feel like it might be a cause of being a bit older but my (single) mother always said that women and men were equal in worth not aptitude.

I actually like this line a lot, because it points to several of the problems in modern society. It makes you ask the question: "on what grounds is worth judged?"

And then you realize that, without a clear way of thinking about "worth" (which is something organized religions provided), we, at least in the US, fall back on "economic value", which is determined by "aptitude". So we can pretty quickly see the philosophical pit we've fallen into: if "worth" and "aptitude" are intertwined, then the statement admits women are indeed "worth less".

I want to agree with that statement. But, there's a problem: how can we come up with a method of judging worth that doesn't rely on some sort of "over-human validator" (e.g. God)? Or alternatively, how can we come up with a broadly acceptable method of judging human worth, without falling into the pitfalls of Abrahamic religious practices?

I love Haskell, and I agree that it's expressive, but any language with a nominal type system like Haskell is inherently going to be less expressive than a dynamic language.

Compare these functions, one in JS and one in Haskell:

function F (x) {
var first = x.first;
var second = x.second;
return first + second;
}

vs.

F :: (HasX a, HasY a) => a -> a
F foo = (x foo) + (y foo)

(I'm a little outta practice with both langauges, but my point will still stand)

With the JS version, F can take in any expression that has the properties of `x` and `y`, while with the Haskell version, the type has to implement the typeclasses `HasX` and `HasY`. While the Haskell version is still better than something like Java because you can implement a typeclass without modifying the core datatype, it's still inherently less expressive.

I'm not saying that it's not worth it (cuz Haskell is awesome for everything but records), but it's still less immediately reusable.

feminism to me growing up was always that men and women should have the same opportunities and treatment, but never that they were the same

This is still true today, to a certain extent (never is a heavy word). It's important to understand that Feminism isn't some authoritarian philosophy with a single set of ideas that you must subscribe to consider yourself a Feminist. Sure, some Feminists challenge gender essentialism in one way or another, but that doesn't mean all do or that it is a critical part of Feminism. The best way to learn is to talk to some local political groups.

Well, GM held quite a few jobs (and industries) hostage. They had little IP worth buying, as they were already re-badging Australian and European cars. The latest Saturn's were Opel's. Pontiac's were Holden's. Down economy made it seem like no one would ever buy a truck again and Toyota had already proven their trucks were as good or better.

If GM wasn't bailed out, they would have failed HARD. Like, plant closes, which means in that town restaurants close, doctors offices close, tax revenue drops so public sector jobs suffer, suppliers no longer have someone to supply, so they cut back. There would have been a massive ripple effect in an already awful time. Don't forget about the rampant middle class foreclosures, middle class homelessness, college savings lost, etc. 2008-2010 was really bad.

Also, it was a loan that GM was able to repay and gov't made money on the deal on top of continued income tax payments from all the people who remained employed and off unemployment.

Finally, denying the objectively true as opposed to saying "Sex differences exist but we don't like to talk about them" makes you the dishonest side and pushes people like me to the other side.

Not sure why you were downvoted. I used to use TurboTax until about a decade ago when I switched to H&R Block. In my opinion H&R Block's UX is superior to TurboTax's and I didn't run into nearly as many dark patterns as I used to. Granted, TurboTax's website could've (and apparently did) change a lot in the time being.

It's always best to try and get a $0 refund with $0 owed. Big refunds may seem cool but you are really just making an interest-free loan to the government.

Canceling my dad's cable service was peculiarly cathartic. They wanted to talk to him, not me: "he's dead." They stumbled over points in the script where they're supposed to flip the cancellation into a bigger subscription: "no, he's still dead." They awkwardly prodded about survivors: "none of your business; if anybody wants your service they don't want it under the name of a dead man, will you cancel the service now?" This would have been quite painful if I didn't get so much glee from saying "no" to salespeople...

Remember, yes. Scream from the rooftops louder than the positives, no. Don't forget that insults, lies, and corruption very much fall under the "behave humanly" category as well. We ain't perfect.
I would go one step further by now- nearly all mental "disorders" make perfect sense as adaption to one or another state in a swinging habitat.

What we would declare a psychotic killer, is perfectly adaptet to a humanity locked into a state of constant strife. In such a world, actually not beeing a psychotic killer is "mentally sick" as in - bad adapted to the circumstances. As with all adaptions to circumstances, one trys to keep the circumstances optimal for ones own adaption. Meaning, someone adaptet to strife, will try to keep the environment stable, preventing the return of peacefull times- where they must subsist on institutional cruelty and torturing animals.

At a tech meetup a while back, I chatted with someone who had just finished reading a book about Disney. They were lit up and enthused. Walt was a saint; Disney Corporation is a distillation of sunlight and laughter; its motivation and impact on the world is bringing joy to children. I wasn't sure what to say. Perhaps I mumbled something like "I always worry when I haven't seen nuance, that I've noticed only one face of something".
I appreciate that you recognize the hedge. This is how I think of it too now. Various parties have differing beliefs about what a world with >50% intermittent energy harvesting looks like, and how easy the energy storage issue really is to solve.

Nuclear in the West is in rough shape, but again the Chinese, Russians, Koreans, and even the Japanese are pretty good at popping them out on time/budget. They all have established supply chains and trained craftsmen. Korea, in particular, is amazing. They chose one design and standardized it and built a bunch of them. This is the model of success in nuclear.

For this reason, it worries me a bit that lots of small startup in the US are trying to build different reactors in relative isolation. This is not the kind of industry where that is likely to go well. It takes billions of dollars to get to first product.

I think the open source model is much more likely to succeed in nuclear. Most of the tech is commodity anyway, so finding a business plan around this shouldn't be overly challenging.

The guy who built Korea's nuclear industry just did a great interview where he basically said that the US taught him how to build nukes, they perfected it, and now he wants to partner with the US again to decarbonize effectively with standardized nukes. [1]

The Anatomy of a Great Decision
> My point being that I don't understand where you draw the line.

The line is drawn once it becomes dangerous for people around the person, or the person itself, or when the person is suffering from that condition (and not just "society misunderstanding him").

For instance, I have been the focus/target of a schizophrenic person whose condition was abruptly worsening at the time. He became a danger to me and my significant other (we are talking physical threats, punching walls, etc.). It escalated with him going to the police to file a complaint against me and two other parties for computer fraud which I only learned 6 months after he had gotten out of my life.

So, that's why mental disorders aren't just "behaviors that differ from the norm". I wish it were just cushy misadaptations but it's not.
