It's sort of weird to see this article framed as a progressive move against male bias when it seems to buy wholesale into a gender essentialialist worldview. The piece even touches on it at the end, dropping a hand grenade in its last line:

"There’s nothing anti-feminist about saying the neurobiology in the female brain might be different."

- I'm not sure about this ^

That being said, I don't think the practice of using exclusively male mice in lab testing can be justified either. For the same reason: reject gender essentialism.

No, nobody thinks the enforcement is about consumers. Obviously it is on behalf of Apple and, maybe, Intel. But case law says they have to cite costs to consumers, so that is how the complaint reads.

A zillion other companies do the same things, and much worse for "consumers", but are less openly greedy toward other big companies, so are ignored.
There are journalists/publications that just stop at 1) I think. Doing any kind of research is rarely on the table, and that's very apparent when you confront these people directly. They don't even know their subject.
> it's financed by exorbitantly high tax rates

You mean like 35% Federal, 15% Payroll, 5-10% state? and then a 9% sales tax?

And then still "needing" to save 15% for retirement, company paying 15% for healthcare?

Seems pretty short sighted to be thinking other places having higher tax rates when the middle class top marginal is approaching 90%.

I didn't say I pushed them in a positive way :) Sometimes they need their heads pounded figuratively.

But generally, I talk to them about their goals and ask them if they really want them. Usually the answer is yes.

Then I say something like "Are you willing to give up some play time with fortnite (or equivalent)" to achieve your goal? Usually the answer is yes.

Then I ask them how they will know they are getting closer to their goals. Usually they'll say something that makes no sense (because they're kids) and so we'll google characteristics of getting towards said goal.

Then I'll ask them what do they think they should do on a weekly basis so that in 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, they will be at the level they should be in that time. They usually have a good answer based on aforementioned googling.

Then I ask them when they plan to make the time for this. Usually they have a good answer for this since they manage their own schedule.

Then, my job is just to remind them if they forget and if they are not keeping up, ask them if their goals have changed or why they are not keeping up with their plans. This is the part where sometimes I need to pound them on their heads figuratively.

That sounds like a contrived scenario to me personally. Most programmers simply do the task that their supervisor or manager has assigned to them. Its not like they can refuse to do a task simply because it was worded poorly. They would just ask for further clarification.
> We could slice 10% (maybe less) off the military budget and pay for college for everyone, forever.

According to Wikipedia, 'the approved 2019 Department of Defense budget is $686.1 billion.' In the 2015–2016 academic year, colleges and universities spent $559 billion (https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=75). So 10% of the military budget would pay for a little over 12% of collegiate spending.
If that's the case then it's kind of mean, isn't it? They know that I'm a grown-up, and are writing to me like a child, effectively talking down to people.

No one is going to give you major adoration for using the word "you" instead of "u", or "are" instead of "r", so I sincerely doubt they're doing it as some sort of humbling thing.
I think you are imagining something that may be the end result of AI merging with the Netflix model.

Today Netflix produces shows by analyzing audience preferences. It's focus groups 2.0. In the future they might start generating shows based on individual preferences. Photo realistic content staring all your favorite actors in a plot you'll love in a setting you'll love. You might even be in it. Why not? Why not have every movie woven into your life? You could take this line of thought in some pretty crazy directions!

>the average college graduate has $30,000 in debt, which doesn't actually seem that bad.

Until you come to find out one of the college grads couldn’t get any employment and the one that did (with $100,000k+ in loans) got 3 part time jobs including Starbucks barista and mail delivery. That’s the reality for millions of America grads, not 6 figure SV jobs with stock options and health insurance.

The numbers and realities are devistating, 1 million grads are defaulting on their loans every year.

And your take on the income based repayment programs sounds like marketing and PR. These income based programs have been in play for over 10 years so the first groups of students (in government/non profit work) were in theory eligible to discharge their loans, yet something like 90% of the first batch were denied the discharge because the banks played games along the way (put students into deferment for a month while the banks reviewed student financials on annual renewals breaking the consecutive payment rule and restarting their 10 year clock every time). For the rest of the loan holders (the first batch who isn’t eligible for discharge until after 25 years) will be in a similar boat/rude awakening when their time comes - of the programs aren’t gutted first which has basically been threatened since the program began. Sure these programs exist but so does discharge of student loans in bankruptcy (but there is a reason why almost everyone thinks student loans aren’t dischargable in bankruptcy).
This could have been written better.

> Currently, your payments are 10% of your income above 150% of the federal poverty level. So if Chad is making about $25,000 per year (corresponding to about $1,700 per month take home), his payments would be just $640 per year, or $50 per month under the current PAY-E scheme.

A $30,000 loan at 5.05% APR with $50/month payments will take infinite years to pay back. Need to be paying $127 a month to keep up with the interest, otherwise you are getting deeper and deeper in debt.

The video seems to support all my points. "Adding a new class is not the trigger for writing tests. The trigger is implementing a requirement."

A test which covers a class is a unit test. A requirement is typically a feature. To test a feature, you usually need integration tests because a feature usually involves multiple classes.

I am far away from what is called "alt-right" (brown Mexican, pro-socialism and critical to the current US government) and still feel that what this article is describing is quite right.

Julian Assange's case has been a witch hunt, from the "outside" it is so easy to see, how the US institutions move the strings to get a person. It almost happened with Gary Mckinnon, it happened with some hackers in Australia, it was about to (and still might) happen to Edward Snowden.

Like it or not, US influence in the world right now looks very similar to how the Roman empire was, and as it is expected, it will do everything possible to keep it that way.
Viber, a popular app where I live, does exactly the same thing TrueCaller does. It drives me crazy.

The only solution I can think of is that everyone start using one-time numbers.

You still have a main number and a number "domain service". When you call someone you get a new number, the call receiver can get your name out of the "domain service" only if you have that number in your address book.

I see a very different picture of why he does what he does. In this case, I think he's trying to pressure House Democrats into signing the USMCA, which would remove the tariff and give Pelosi the ability to claim she stopped him. If they don't, then he still meets his goals of renegotiating trade to reduce deficits.

He also isn't negotiating this in a vacuum. It sends a message to China and everyone else that deals will be renegotiated, whether they come to the table or not. One of his primary skills is forcing people into situations where if they try to ignore him, it hurts them greatly. He maintains his constant press coverage by saying something terrible about an issue he thinks he can win. He takes the hit and then fights his way up the resulting maelstrom.
In the US, it is if you're an incorporated business serving as a "public accommodation" as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act, which includes hotels, restaurants, theaters, storefronts.

I do think you should be able to declare bankruptcy on worthless degrees. Banks (note that I have a problem with government loan subsidies) should face the risk and not loan to a student getting a worthless degree.

What I can't figure out is how to stop someone who gets a useful degree from declaring bankruptcy right after graduating and then getting a job using that degree. This is fraud.

How is this a valid move. You bought a service and failed to pay for it. How is this different from predatory payday loans. Sure it is on a larger scale, but do you agree that if you get a payday loan you can leave the country and not pay for it.

K-12 education is a right in the US, you get to go to school for free. College is, for better or worse, a paid for service. You chose to go and you signed the paperwork.

Medical is a bit different, you certainly didn't ask to have medical conditions (most of the time). So I can't bundle the healthcare system with the Educational systems when it comes to paying back debt.
To access an equivalent amount of mass from the moon you would need to strip mine it to a depth of about 23.5km. On earth it would be about 1km. Your point about losing a lot of it as reaction mass still stands, but 4% of the moon is actually quite a lot.
When I was helping to translate Playboy articles into Braille (around 2010) I only ever translated articles that generally had nothing to do with sex.

They have limited resources so they have to make value decisions on where to spend their effort.

400 dollars as a student repayment of the loan seems small, especially for a single person with no family. There are people working delivery jobs and even off books making way more than that money and yet, going to school in the evening and buying cars and taking loans when necessary. I can tell from these stories that these people hate the struggle, and although college graduates, they never passed the school of hard knocks, as they gave up too easy on America because they couldn't find a job in their city or field, but why not move to another city or expand horizons? I understand if the loan was a colossal 100k, but 30k is quite acceptable. Also some students go study in China to avoid paying for college, so how come the thought never crossed their mind, and working as an expat is a choice, not a last resort.

Writing well can have several meanings. I've found that hilarious bug tickets are much better received and treated than dry ones. Maybe because they get many eyeballs (of the sort that makes all bug shallow).

Here is one of the first ticket I wrote in my still current company:

Then God appeared to wazoox and told him: "You will not spread your software on the face of the world without properly testing the new features, so as not to get into trouble with a rarely used tool that proves buggy with an important customer. I said, and so be it." So it was done this way, and the courageous people of the developers wrote unit test scripts, to validate the proper functioning of each new version, whereas until now they were content to test by hand and whatever popped into their heads. Then rivers of milk and honey flowed on the earth, and the customers gave them much money; then the Lord saw it and was pleased.
> average college graduate has $30,000 in debt,

The average listed in the article is a mean, but then you compare it to a median starting salary.

If an appreciable fraction of college graduates have 0 debt, it could imply that students that do have debt have a higher debt that $30,000. Of course, this distribution could have lots of different shapes, so there's no conclusive statement I could make here, but it seems quite dangerous to compare the mean of one thing to the median of another and then say that there's no issue.

I'm also not disputing your other points. I'd definitely be interested in finding our more information about why the article elided those repayments (or if they haven't been happening for some other reason).
I live there and I am proud our lawmakers took this seriously. It seems too common for lawmakers to not understand the ramifications of what was at stake.
I can't let go of my intuition that complex deployment procedures carry an inherent additional risk to the mission.

Now, maybe that additional risk is less than the risk of doing it a different way, but that just means the mission is particularly risky. That appears to be the case with the JWST in any case.

Space is hard. We've failed many times. It seems rational to be concerned in this case.

> $30,000 in debt, which doesn't actually seem that bad

I think over time what seems reasonable has been stretched. Given that you don't have any collateral with this debt, $30k seems extremely deep under water to me, coming from a generation where I was able to pay off all my student debt with a relatively low-paying job within a couple of years.

> The usual rule is that student debt shouldn't exceed your expected first year income

Was this rule made by the same people who made the rule about how much to spend on an engagement ring?

If you go to Stanford and then get a job at Google where your signing bonus is $30k cash after tax, then yeah maybe it all adds up.
I have no issue with modifying genetics normally, but why in the world would you modify a fungus to produce spider toxin? Fungi are far more advanced and intertwined with the biosphere than most people realize. What if they escape and run amok?

Another interesting approach is to include an input which is not visible: due to `visibility:hidden`, due to being positioned well off-screen (`left: -10000px`), read-only, set unfocusable by keyboard (`tabindex="-1"`), etc.

Ideally it would have a varying id / name and a varying ARIA attribute for blind users, saying something like "human users, please ignore this".

It would not stop a really sophisticated bot that runs an actual browser and uses machine vision to detect page elements. But unless your site is very high-profile, running such a sophisticated bot to defeat its protections likely won't be profitable.

Yes, we're already working on SSR support! https://github.com/FormidableLabs/urql/issues/218

Since we didn't want to go down the same road as some other libraries that use renderToStaticMarkup and a promise-queue, we've already built a supporting package so that we can implement SSR-support using suspense. (At least the unstable API of suspense; which is as simple for us as adding throwing promises to our components and hooks) https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-ssr-prepass

Derek Lowe just had a blog post out today which is quite skeptical of the mice study: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2019/05/31/au....

The salient points are:

* Very small N.

* Behavioral studies of mice can be very subjective in their own right, so you can definitely get bias, particularly with small N.

* There's no generally accepted model of autism in mice. In other words, mice might not even be capable of getting autism in the first place, so saying that "these behaviors in mice correlate with autism in humans" is a bit of a limb.

* No measurement of the microbiome in the descendants-of-the-implanted-microbiome (the ones that were actually tested) was demonstrated.

So you can come away from the paper with the feeling that they set out to test a hypothesis, interpreted subjective results in the way that best matches the hypothesis, and failed to (or perhaps even purposefully excluded) test for alternate hypotheses that might explain the evidence better.

Generally tidy dressing, no matter what you wear, and grooming will give a good impression.

Dress expectations is a good marker for you too; if they expect full suit, and all your interviewers wear ties, what read does that give you on their culture?

Finally; overdressing can only ever give an impression of eagerness (vs underdressing which can set you back) so err on the side of caution.

Ultimately, any good company should care more about your skills than your clothes....
