They did imply it. They said the problem was transgender acceptance. That is not an age qualified statement. The following statement was specific to tweens, which implies the poster views it as a tween originating self image.

Regardless, this feels purposefully naive to me. Gender identity issues could well be biological or mental health related. There are plenty of things for which do cosmetic surgery or otherwise accept as untreatable including sexual orientation. We are comfortable doing liposuction en masse for people who are just fat.

Maybe there is an argument that on average young transgender people would be better off waiting a few years. That has nothing to do with the thesis of transgender acceptance being a problem. Nor does your opinion trump another individuals ability to offer their own consent. I will, without any evidence, confidently say that in either case, telling a young person that their feelings of gender dysphoria are irrelevant until they’re an adult is definitely the wrong way to do this. Lack of hormones != lack of transgender acceptance
I've been thinking about your tip a lot lately.

I've started my first full remote job. The team is fairly distributed, but there is a home office. git commits are logged in slack as they happen. I've decided, that since I don't have an office to be in from a certain time and that I feel supported to work wherever and whenever I want, that I will not do this. I want to be able to start work at noon and work on collaborative work til 4pm, then live my life when most of the world is awake between 8am-noon and 4pm-8pm. I then want to work on non-collaborative projects from 8pm until I feel like I've accomplished enough for the day. Sometimes that 4am.

It's not about proving that I'm doing work, it's more about knowing that it doesn't matter when and where I do my work. I will not be chained to a desk or schedule.

Can anyone explain movement 38? [1]

Two identical gears start moving at the same speed. Suddenly, one gear slows down, then lurches forward at a much faster speed, and then returns to its starting speed.

While the other, identically shaped gear, spins at a constant speed the whole time.

Different people have different values, and one person's tolerance is another's oppression. (The more authoritarian sides of the Left and Right each see opponents as "too tolerant" of different things.)

Recent studies have suggested that there may be some fundamental cognitive factors that control political alignment. They may even be genetic. If this turns out to be true, are you still OK with forcing the other side to live by your "correct" rules? Isn't that just tribalism and conquest?
Lets do this with math (I'm a reformed red-light runner). Say Houston has 100 traffic accidents with red-light cameras (daily), but 130 red-light running accidents without. Say each accident causes $10,000 of property and personal damage (daily). Then you have $300,000 daily carnage prevented by the red-light cameras (in my case I paid $75 at a particular red-light & right-turn likely to cause accidents about 0.1% of the time, when performed by professional a stunt man like myself & 0.100001% of the time by everyone else).

OK, $300,000 daily saved in 'ouchies'. It takes 4,000 red-light citations (paid daily) to be the equal. The particular red-light I ran, by my layman's guesstimate, could ring up 500-700 tickets a day, for those unfamiliar with its wily ways. So it nets $50,000 daily.

OK, so I've never been ticketed as a full-speed-crossing-4-lanes-of active-traffic red-light camera (maybe they have elevated fines?). But a single signal getting $50,000/day seems a bit steep for the supposed harm to be prevented.

2FA is not in itself weaker (for the same password). It's account recovery that's that downfall here - the password is forgotten and not one of the factors, so the system allows to to recover your password with _only_ the second factor (mobile phone number).

> While sms 2FA is marginally better than not having any 2FA at all

I used to believe this too. Until this morning. Then I realized something and now I'm not so sure: if I don't have SMS 2FA at all, then my phone line is less to become an attack target. Meaning I'm less likely to have to deal with the collateral damage of lost accounts, files, etc. So is it really better to have that SMS 2FA? Especially if you weren't ever having problems securing your stuff before it came along?

Anything in any other business terms that needed to be used, created or maintained to create value for customers would not be debt.

'Technical debt' is just not debt, it's just an interesting way to think about it, and a neat use of lingo.

There are any number of other business practices for which one could try to apply the same analogy, but it wouldn't work because very quickly the term wouldn't seem right.

For example 'training employees' for a situation, knowing they might need to be trained differently in the future, is not going to be regarded as debt.

Same thing for processes, investment in equipment, parts, materials etc..
Played for 3 hours with my 60+ year old parents today. They absolutely loved Shadow Point and Beat Saber. For Shadow Point, I was wearing the headset, casting to my iPhone which was AirPlaying to Apple TV and they were following my every movement on the big screen.

Not sure what you mean by immersion but all of us said how real it felt and how addictive this could be. When I came up to the edge of a cliff, I screamed and stepped back.

This is fascinating research about how the BBC compiled old footage, audio, and imagery going back to the 1930s. They created an interface to browse by decade or theme. A researcher at the BBC spent time with 53 people with dementia, many who reported positive effects using RemArc.

The place where I remember a gap was laptops with dual graphics cards designed to use a low power one for light duty and a more powerful one for heavy duty tasks.

That said, avoiding that mess is fine for a non-gaming laptop. And I've had no trouble installing Linux on Dell, Asus, or Lenovo. Many configurations specifically listed Ununtu as an OS option (but why bother getting it preinstalled), so sure any of those would be fine. They're not especially rare anymore.
There are several reasons not to fear Dark Forest, chief among them,

1. Any species that develops a civilization capable of space travel must necessarily have evolved a strong cooperative spirit, and so is more unlikely to exercise homicide as a first resort.

2. If Dark Forest were true, and there was a murderous civilization that wanted to kill every other, we would all be dead already. You can make an entire galaxy's worth of relativistic kill missiles with the mass of a medium size asteroid.

Sterilizing an entire galaxy to make sure that there is never a challenge to your rule can be accomplished in a few thousand years. Without needing any interstellar transit.

Indeed it does not. I should probably fix that :)

(Much like how I also need to fix that for OTPCL...)

> it is a significantly higher barrier to entry compared to something like Django or Rails

I don't know about Django (I tend to shy away from Python, and the little Python code I do voluntarily write is specifically for desktop apps via PyQt5), but I'd say Rails has just as steep of a learning curve, if not steeper (or at least it did when I was deep into Rails app development).

> Now, with all that being said, I really do enjoy working in Phoenix now that I actually "broke through" that initial barrier of understanding.

Same here. I "broke through" via a much different path, though, going through Sugar then Plug then bottom-up into Phoenix. Turns out both Sugar and Phoenix stick very close to Plug (unsurprising, since they're both essentially collections of plugs arranged into MVC frameworks), so there's actually a surprising amount of compatibility between the two, both in terms of knowledge/semantics and even outright code interoperability [1] (at least for simple cases). Made it easy to remap my Sugar-centric mental model to Phoenix and comprehend "oh, okay, so that's how that works" or "so that's why I need to do this or that".

One of these days I should probably make a concerted effort to document the similarities/differences between Sugar and Phoenix and describe/demonstrate how one can at least mentally migrate between the two, both for selfish reasons (i.e. convince Phoenix users to try Sugar) and for more community-holistic reasons (i.e. position Sugar as a "gateway drug" to Phoenix).

VR headset tech is in a weird situation where none of them is really good enough, but when you test the best in the market it destroys the enjoyment you get from previous generation. I tested 20 minutes $6000 Vario VR-1 that is intented to professional use and now anything consumer grade feels like total crap.

I hope FB and others keep developing these things despite the sales not taking off. Maybe five to ten years from now we have VR-gear that becomes must have.

The green LED sucks. I would charge my 2012 MacBook Pro in my bedroom, but can’t because of the light. Also, I can’t charge it and use the laptop in my lap because the MagSafe falls off easily. The new charger solves both of these problems.
I got a Quest this morning, it is great! I haven't used VR previously, and the ability to run VR without a gaming PC is really huge for me.

I think the Quest has the potential to bring the VR more into the mainstream of entertainment. It just needs a few killer experiences, and it could really catch on.
And, the game?

Try Beat Saber. If that gets you sick, then I’m sorry. Not much can be done. Everyone has a different tolerance for motion disparity before they get sick. Most people can acclimate with gradual exposure as long as use low-motion experiences and you stop each session immediately when you begin to feel sick. Progress is being made to improve the experience for everyone on both the hardware and software design sides.
> Are there more sick people?

Yes, mainly due to an ageing population and partly due to obesity. An increasingly old and obese population needs more healthcare and is more complicated and expensive to treat.

Only relative speed will be determined by the geometry (these gears, in effect, change the gear ratio throughout one revolution).

In this animation, the author decided that the left gear is driving the right one (while itself, presumably, being driven by a motor at constant speed or something similar).
May I suggest - ummoapp.com - not affiliated in any way, just a happy user.
The left wheel rotates at fixed speed, it's the source of the movement (connected to the source of power). The right wheel rotates according to the relative radii between them, the constant speed of the left wheel dictating its speed.
Red is being driven by the axle at a constant rate, blue is being driven by the teeth of red
Your arguments might be more compelling if you'd stick to one domain within a discussion, or at the very least, non-distractingly coherent ones. Your first comment was germane. This less so.
Indeed, and that actually played into my path to using Julia. I had fallen down the lisp rabbit hole and was super interested in the ideas it advocates and was trying to decide on a dialect to try to commit to for my physics numerical work. After spending some time in decision paralysis (even though in hindsight, CL was probably the clear dialect to choose), I discovered that Julia actually inherited a lot of good ideas from the lisp family and that it had its fair share of cool ideas of its own. Eventually, I made up my mind and settled on Julia as my main language, though I screw around with elisp every now and then for my emacs config.

I’d like to come back to CL at some point though and gain some proficiency as I think there’s a lot in CL left for Julia to learn from.
They are indeed identical but they're spinning in opposite directions, which in effect means one is flipped (going small->big instead of big->small). I believe that's how they can behave differently.

I don't know Ireland, but Home Depot is almost like the Costco of such stores. The most popular car in Europe is VW Golf, the most popular 'car' in America is Ford F1 truck. Consider what people are using such things for :). 'Mr Bricolage' in France is 1B Euros sales, Home Depot is 100B USD in 2018. Though Woodies is apparently large relative to Ireland's population.
There’s a great Python talk out there titled “Stop writing classes”. It has several great demonstrations of Python code getting shorter, simpler and faster by converting code to just use the built-in containers.
“We also talked with the organizers of other conferences and with dev that are part of gender groups focalized in technology and all of them recommended us to take distance from them.”

Experience tells me author is probably in the wrong here based on this sentence alone. This screams of those extreme lefties that want to police everybody else with their safe spaces and trigger warnings, then deplatform and unperson anyone who doesn’t agree with their agenda or worldview. Author should have disinvited those people instead.

”It was a difficult decision in which we prioritized the participation of the public that had reached out to us while also knowing that many people, especially women, wouldn’t come to the conference if we did nothing about this situation.”

This reeks of BS to me. We are supposed to believe that the presence of this particular woman at a conference will discourage women from attending? What the hell?

The reason for the extreme reaction was likely because it pissed them off that these extremists got their way, and successfully censored and unpersoned another victim. Admit it, you’d be pissed too.

If you don’t like one of the speakers, and you’re an adult, you skip that talk. Stop creating drama and find a real purpose in life other than being a professional victim.

By adjusting the distance from the center the ratio can be changed. Closer to the center on the driving cog (the left red one) will reduce rotation ratio and further away, will increase the rotation.

> That's not to say it's useless, at the very least it's another layer that attackers have to figure out. But the true benefits of 2FA come from needing multiple devices to access accounts. If all of the factors are stored in one program on one device, then in the situation where that device/program is cracked, the attackers have everything.

I feel you're not portraying the trade-off accurately so I'll try to clarify.

It's not merely better because it's just "another layer to figure out". That's what you would get with 2 passwords. It's not what you get with 1 password + 1 OTP.

With OTP you're protected against your password being logged and used later on e.g. an untrusted or breached machine (say, at a library). I'd hazard to guess that dealing with a passive adversary who's time-separated from you is FAR more common/likely than having your actual password database stolen or cracked somehow. Meaning it's still quite a significant benefit to having OTP.
Posco to invest W1tr in fostering aspiring startups
Frankly I think you're either misunderstanding or misrepresenting my positions. We have been arguing from efficiency right along, but you're now shifting to an argument from morality. You posit that it's acceptable for the state to take ownership of its citizens (subjects at that point?) Ultimately that's a position I have to entirely reject. There comes a point where the removal of autonomy to improve a person's life deprives them of what it means to be alive. Your elitist position that you and your experts know so much more than the little people that you can't "allow" them to make their own choices comes off rather poorly. It also comes off as rather short sighted, as politics is often inherently unstable, and all it takes is a "bad politician" to take your well-meaning but authoritarian system and take it full-blown authoritarian.

I appreciate your extrapolation on your ideas. While I'm sure neither of us have changed our minds, I find your position interesting and I'm sure others reading have been able to see a small amount of the breadth of the topic at hand.
I always imagined most things in Ireland and UK in general as being smaller than the US. A quick search and yes, HDs are typically 100,000 sq/ft. Average grocery stores here are 50k and Walmart & Costco around 100k - 150k.
I imagine the red gear is the one backed with a motor rotating at a constant speed. Which would explain why it never slows down or speeds up.

The blue one is being entirely driven by the red. It slows down because moving 2 notches at a greater diameter requires less rotation than moving 2 notches at a lesser diameter. It then speeds up because moving 3 notches at a lesser diameter requires more rotation than moving 3 at a greater diameter.
