>Implementing a legalised form of polygamous marriage won't change nor exacerbate that.

It's interesting that you're making this claim in a discussion about an article which claims that legalizing homosexual marriage was associated with reduced anti-gay bias. Do you doubt that legalizing polygamous marriage would be associated with reduced anti-polygamous bias?

Do you not think that the behavior of wealthy and powerful men is constrained in any way by anti-polygamous bias in our current society? For example, do you think the number of wealthy and powerful men today who choose not to engage in polygamous behavior is identical to the number who would choose to engage in such behavior absent that bias, even though historically it has been the norm for wealthy and powerful men to have many wives and concubines? Do you think the men who engage in it today in secret would not engage it to an even greater degree absent that bias?

>Incels have always existed, and will always exist, under varying names (in all genders).

Do you think the proportion of incel males to non-incel males has always been the same, or that the proportion does not matter?
>But if we're talking about symmetrical polygamy (multiple husband's and multiple wives), I see no reason why a modern secular society should care.

A modern secular society should care because of the nature of the distribution of women's sexual attraction toward men. Even if the marriages are symmetrical such that men and women are equally likely to be married, men's sexual access to the women will not be equal unless the women are compelled to behave otherwise.

When women are free to choose which men they have sex with, the vast majority of women choose the same small minority of men. The wives will choose to have sex with some of husbands far more than others, resulting in a minority of the men having the vast majority of sexual access to the women, and a majority of men having little or no sexual access to their wives.

The best way to ensure men other than that small minority have sexual access to women is to discourage sex outside of marriage and to prohibit men from having multiple wives.
I've used this in a production project I can't really talk about. It performed super well and I was consistently impressed.

I had the same thing happen as well. I upgraded from a OG XL to a 3, and while I love everything else about the phone, it picked up several noticeable scratches within just six weeks. I have a screen protector on it now but it was still very frustrating since I didn't do anything I can recall to merit picking up any damage.

Meanwhile, the OG XL still looks new.

I'd argue it's part of everyone's job on the team (including the manager).

Management is a specialist job. Just as software development is.

(For me managers are about two things; people leadership [inspiring the best in people, leading their personal growth] and communication [between team and others]).

What you describe sounds like a scrum master/project management role.

Ultimately if the team are not engaged in the direction then no amount of manager-direction will help.
> That connection and the most basic reality of being human are enough to get a sense of ought from is.

but how?

I think you might not appreciate how vexing the is/ought question is. murder is something that almost everyone agrees is wrong. most people couldn't exactly articulate why they think this, but I suspect the reason is that obviously causes ripples of pain, distress, and instability through a community. we may even be biologically conditioned against murdering our own kind.

so clearly, if one wants to remain part of society, not cause unnecessary harm, and not experience guilt, one ought not commit the act of murder. but this is still not a universal moral claim; it depends on the desires of the agent. you are conflating practicality with the philosophical notion of truth. these philosophers are not interested in "a sense of ought"; they are looking for a rigorous method of constructing "ought" from what "is". that is the problem.

I'm really impressed with Mi Band 2 sleep tracking. It correctly matches the time I go to bed, and get up. Also gets each time I wake up during the night, or when I'm reading before sleep. I'm not sure about the "deep sleep" recording, and maybe I'm being suggested, but in nights with low deep sleep I fell terrible. Just monitoring my sleep I improved it. Sorry that it does not have a smart alarm neither an alarm to go to bed.
I'm currently using a Pixel 3, but just ordered the 3a as my new "backup" phone (replacing my OG Pixel 1 and a P1XL I bought refurbished).

I'll probably use the 3a as my primary phone for a month so I get the $100 Fi credit on my account, then move back and put the Fi data-only SIM in the 3a.

Now I just need to sell the P1 and P1XL...

This is kind of alarming to me. A fine should scale with the the greater of the harm done and the amount needed to deter the behavior. But that's not what's happening here; instead, people are proposing that the fine scale with Facebook's total revenue. Even Facebook's most ardent critics probably don't believe they derive a majority (or really even a significant amount) of revenue from the lax API controls companies like Cambridge Analytica relied on. The fine should be sufficient to ensure that nobody at Facebook thinks that being lazy about access to user profiles in their APIs is a good business decision. It should not, in effect, be a litigation of whether Facebook is on the whole a good idea.

I don't think Facebook (as constituted) is a good idea! But that doesn't mean I think the FTC should be able to fine it existentially, unless an existential fine is really what it takes to defer the specific thing they did that was unlawful. There's no evidence that $5B --- a record high fine equivalent to the entire cost of several well-known startups Facebook could have otherwise acquired rather than lighting that money on fire --- is insufficient to the task.

If there was only the USA and China in the game, then you'd have a good point.

Hello from Europe. The USA is also currently in a trade war with us.

So lets look at how the economies stack up.

USA GDP - $19.4 trillion

EU GDP - $18.5 trillion

China GDP - $12.2 trillion

Which trade war might be having more effect and which could end up with more economic blowback? Also, might this push China and the EU to make a temporary economic pact? Combined they haul a lot more economic weight than the USA.

edit - apparently, Trump is also starting a trade war with Japan, for reasons - https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-trade-war-has-a-new-t...

Well put! MTG is notorious in the huge gap between the potential complexity and the actual complexity of most games. I've found that deck design is a far more interesting problem than the in-game play strategy, and unfortunately most really interesting decks end up far too fragile or slow to compete with the optimal strategies.

Someone really ought to design a format that bans all the straightforward but powerful cards, forcing a bit more creativity into the mix, but I fear the banned list would be prohibitively long and surprisingly difficult to come up with after the first round of obvious bans. There's always some new infinite combo that's a little too easy to pull off once the super fast quick wins are out of the way.

Edit: there's always that person (I've occasionally been him) who doesn't play to win and just tries to mess with the game's limits as much as possible. I knew someone with a "Jester Deck" that played cards that so mangled the rules that no one could even figure out how to finish the game any more. That was pretty interesting.
I personally prefer tools like https://github.com/jkk/honeysql

For a while I was buying a laptop every 2 weeks from the Apple store for my business. I would walk in, say I need 1x of Model XXX macbook YYY, guy would go get it - I swipe card on phone, and back out the door in 5 minutes. Was pretty painless. Maybe it's how direct you go in? Or maybe they just had me memorized...
This is very true - at one point when I worked at Amazon, my manager told me that if I was already the next level, I'd easily be exceeding expectations. But the work I was doing wouldn't actually get me there.

It ran contrary to what I had been told - do the work of the next level, and you'll be promoted to that level. It was tough adjusting, and I ended up moving into management. I got lucky in that I enjoy it, but I do miss doing the hands on work from time-to-time.

> The word "friend" itself takes on different meanings to different groups of people -- especially after the rise of FB -- 1000s of "friends" on a social network is very different from 100s of "friends" you've only met once which is also very different from the ~5 "friends" you see on a daily basis, and much different from 0/1/2 "best" friends who you think you'd do anything for.

Wait a minute.

> I sure could bash out a depth-first tree traversal in Python, with dictionaries or a dedicated tree-node class, and it would take me way less time than understanding this will take me.

That's my point. APL is interesting, but its enforced structure doesn't fit things intuitively (perhaps there's an implied "for most people" here). Yes, omega combinators or whatever it is that's doing is neat and perhaps pedagogically useful. But

> That is cool, I didn't know you could do it. But it is completely separate from the normal Python list comprehension style

That's because you're not using list comprehensions, you're using ndarrays, which do poweful things to python's already powerful slice notation, and as a result get all of the nice broadcasting things that you get in APL. Its why a + b and a * b just do what you expect in numpy-land.

Slice notation in python is already powerful: a[:], a[5:], a[:5], a[::2], and a[::-1] are things I'd expect someone relatively new to understand intuitively (those are copy, head(5), tail(5), every_other, and reversed).

Adding the ability to customize it: `a[:,:,::-1,:]` for example inverts the 3rd axis of a 4d array, similarly you can pull out a subarray, strided subarray, etc. very declaratively. And numpy further extends that by allowing the argument to be a mask (which is what I showed you in the last comment), so a array[boolean_mask] does the kind of thing you'd expect.

This post is so false it might actually might be in the realm of legally actionable by Apple.

I’m sure they won’t consider it worthwhile, but claiming that they were proven to be degrading performance in order to force upgrades when no such thing has been proven may well fall under the scope of a defamation tort.

Apple can of course be reasonably criticized for many things, but falsely asserting that their malicious intent has been proven is not a reasonable critique.

I disagree, technical debt is a much more liquid quantity that can be easily paid off in as little or great a chunk as you wish. If you as a company offered to let everyone pay off tech debt with 10% of their time, but force it to be 10% on a daily basis you'll likely end up accumulating more debt - paying off monetary debt a little at a time by diverting x% of revenue to it is a particularly good way to handle debt as a private company as it ensures there's plenty to reinvest and the cost the debt is imposing is well known.

Secure Streaming with Hash Based Tokens – Open-Source Media Server
+1 to everything but the last bit. In my experience, the best compromise is something like Hibernate (or some other ORM) for the mapping and the really basic queries (find by ID, find by some random field, etc).

Possibly still hibernate for the really advanced crazy stuff, too, though this is more doubtful. I've had pretty good success in the past with Hibernate Geospatial and full text search, for example.

In between those two extremes, just use SQL. It can still be mapped pretty easily with Hibernate and isn't practically harder than SQL would be without Hibernate.

Software development is magic to most people. You have the same laptop as them, and somehow you make stuff that works and makes them money by flexing your fingers.

They don't know how to internalize that - they are dealing with a magician that turns dirt into gold and gets paid by the hour.

It's totally irrational. If you were a plumber then there would be a physical manifestation of the work.

Software managers who have never written code are also often suspect, in my opinion. They can be professionals of magic management without understanding, liking, or even appreciating their field.
I agree, and add:

Sometimes bits rot, and the media becomes unreadable. Sometimes you're able to back it up, sometimes not.

Sometimes hardware and software incompatibilities appear. I built a late 90s/2000 era PC for that period of PC gaming (Windows 98, CRT). Other times, you get lucky and it's fixed: Freelancer won't run on Vista, but will on 7.
To clarify why this strategy is not as bad or egregious as it seems, one must only ask: what are the consequences of overestimated time for work (that gets delivered early?) And what are the consequences of underestimating work?

Would you rather deliver a product with finished surfaces or cut corners? Proper design and good overall test coverage, or zero budget for maintenance?

It also helps to understand that management will ultimately decide that we need to do the project in half the time, and with these extra features you didn't ever plan on building.

My budgeting strategy is to always assume that for whatever scope you have planned, 50% of the complexity that you will need to deliver in order to reach the finish line, remains unknown at any given stage of planning. Compensate upward if there still remain known unknowns.
This may sound like pedantry, but I would call 6.8 "almost seven hours" not "6 hours and change".

A nice pair of bluetooth headphones makes a pretty big different. I got a HD 4.40BT, and it's very good. Battery life is impressive and charges quickly. I can skip tracks, pause, adjust volume without taking out my phone. I don't have to dig into my pocket when I want to listen to something. Audio quality is not noticeably different from my wired headphones at a similar price. It does mean that I have 4 pairs of headphones relegated to desktop and piano use, but the convenience factor was well worth it to me.
