While there was feminism involved there, I think one should question how independent the political movement was from economic pulls at the same time. You can't for example, take large amounts of single women into factories as workers in the industrial age, without some form of practical feminist changes in how women were treated.

You see similar modern pulls today in nations like China and India. It's really difficult to separate which came first - the economic pull or feminism. I lean to the economics of factory owners wanting low cost labor being a leading phenomenon of the cycle, and that induces the question of the rights of women who now have income, and practical freedoms going to work and working, and that independence inducing a desire for wider rights.

Once industry gets access to that labor though, they'll pay the minimum amount possible, and that practical acceptable minimum lowers if there are multiple people in the household making income.
Thanks, that's similar, also I would argue that for inexperienced developer just producing desired text would be a simpler solution (but dangerous).

My point was that most ad tech companies are not the issue. It is the big boys which is the issue. And, that ad tech wasn't the issue. Ads using targeting data is a symptom of the problem, not the problem it self. The collecting of the data (by the 1%) is the problem.

I really like both Purism and Pine64, so I'm a bit torn. Outside of phones, Pine64 is making great strides in creating an alternative to the Intel/AMD duopoly, while Purism is obviously doing really important work in terms of privacy and FLOSS advancement.

The Purism phone is pricey but I really want to support their mission and fund their continued existence. I wish I had more money to throw at these projects.

That's the most interesting possibility, I think. Probably not just "become us", though, because there's evidence for eukaryotic life, well before then. But it's only fuzzy structural and geochemical evidence. So they and/or their microbes could have merged.

However, the Earth wasn't so hospitable, ~1000 Ma BP. There wasn't much free oxygen then. Not until 600-800 Ma BP, I gather. So if they were oxygen breathers, they would have been living in habitats. But maybe they made the move ~600 Ma BP. That would have been ~endgame on Venus.

I don't see how any of this is testable, however. Some have argued that Octopodidae aren't originally from Earth. But it's iffy.[0] Still, who knows? Maybe they did come from Venus ;)

You need a heart to get heartbeat.

I agree with what you said, as a UK citizen I do worry about other countries spying on me in the same way that the UK spys on them.

I want our infrastructure to be secure but a biased evaluation will give biased results not secure ones.

If the UK was really worried about foreign powers invading their infrastructure(they should be) the real solution is to evaluate the security of that infrastructure (anything foreign in an unbiased way) or roll your own. Instead of doing this we play security pantomime with no more substance than "maybe the chinks are up to something?" thats not security its the government trying to make the public feel safe, and it's a massive failing of my nanny state government.

Cut GCHQ budget pour it into rolling our own silicon thats how to protect UK infrastructure and economy.
My understanding is that websites use Canvas to generate a unique or semi-unique fingerprint of your browser, whether or not a cookie has been set. It's absolutely true that this is technically possible. Most people don't have your exact resolution/cpu speed/fonts installed/etc, so you are somewhat unique even if you have the same browser and OS as other people. If you block Canvas, you can actually see some websites request it as you log in. Amazon produces a popup asking permission to do canvas-y things during the login progress on my computer, for instance.

I think the tone of most of the conversations around Canvas I've seen are a bit more catastrophic. Their argument usually goes something like: "Most websites are making UUIDs of your Canvas profile and tracking you everywhere, and therefore your cookie blocking and VPN are useless!" Bear in mind, I don't mean to strawman here, that's just a version of the argument I see most often.

What I personally suspect is that Canvas fingerprinting is used to supplement other tracking or verification. For example, I have a valid amazon account, an Amazon cookie is properly set, and Amazon also checks my Canvas information to make sure nothing looks too out place. ie, my cookie was probably not replayed since my Canvas, IP address, and credentials check out. Presumably, my Canvas information cannot generate a true UUID, but it is something like 1 in 10,000. Enough to use it for additional verification.

Now, is any of this correct? Are folks' most paranoid fears accurate? Is my belief that Canvas is supplementary fraud detection accurate? Whatever answer is correct, it's unlikely to be broadly uniform across all websites. But, the point is, I'd really like to hear from an engineer about how Canvas is used.
It's a typo. I missed a 0. My setup tests at about 9.5 ms input lag as do similar monitors in its class. Some monitors measure a little lower.
The point is that this person would have to sue. There is no district attorney or third party that would sue Amazon for this action.

So it is a calculated risk that they won't sue, absolving Amazon of any actual negative consequence.
> Isn't a heartbeat in general to be considered an "electrically induced flickering" of sorts?

My reading is that the argument is not that a heartbeat isn't "electrically induced flickering" but that the thing flickering should not yet be classified as a heart, and so it's disingenuous to call it a heartbeat.
Big pharma companies spend a lot on marketing, often more than on r&d, but most drugs come from small companies with no marketing budget. These companies develop drugs, and partner with pharma to commercialize the drugs, or pharma buys them outright

HBM did an analysis of novel FDA approved drugs from 2008-2018 which showed over 60% of FDA approved drugs were originally developed by small companies, and just 12% iirc by big pharma

And most drug development efforts these days focus on medicines that can be truly impactful to patients. There is a correlation between clinical value and price, and many markets are winner take most, and winners are chosen by prescribers and payers based on their benefits to patients

One data point to illustrate the industry's increased focus on innovation is that historically, nearly all drug development programs were small molecules and biologics -- decades-old tech. Of the companies that IPOd in the last 5 quarters, there are more gene and cell therapy programs than small molecule
There is also a chance these concept correlate because they share many of the same characteristics, i.e. they are mostly the same thing.

Measuring psychological concept is far easier then then rigid and if you align one question or answer to one concept there is a good chance you are actually measuring the other, or both. In fact the very concept of general intelligence has been severely criticized for this. To an extend that many psychologist (and laymen like my self) don’t even belief it exists.

It's a bit more complicated. The door-to-door thing is retail choice, typically when people talk about "deregulated" electricity markets they're often referring to stuff at the generation/transmission level (wholesale markets), where a regional transmission operator is the balancing authority and offers a variety of market products that utilities and merchant generators participate in. Generally this has been perceived as more efficient than the traditional integrated utility and lowered costs for consumers in general. Since you're on PG&E, you're probably in California ISO's territory[1].

"Retail choice" is the ability of individual households to buy directly from retail suppliers[2], and the history there is a bit spottier and less conclusive. It's not as widespread and participation has actually declined[3].

In all likelihood, because the people maintaining Wordpress are the people who created it in the first place, and they don't know any better.

Why did PHP apps suffer from SQL injection attacks, long after PHP supported prepared statements? Why do Java apps often have ridiculous classes like AbstractSingletonThingFactoryFactory? Why does the Javascript community (still) promulgate useless leftpad-like packages? Why do Ruby apps often end up so heavily metaprogrammed that you can't trust any line of code to do what it says?

Cultures are hard to change. The people that are turned off by Wordpress' programming style probably pick other projects and other communities. Lots of the folks working on Wordpress probably cut their teeth in that codebase. They might not like it and they might realize there are better ways, but there probably isn't a critical mass of them that share a vision out of the morass.

Personally, I took one brief look under the covers of Wordpress and immediately decided to avoid it.
That phrase has a long history of use way before alt-right was even a thing. I've never heard of it being co-opted by any particular group. Other than in extreme cases, that's just not how words work. Just because one group uses a word doesn't mean it's taken out of the lexicon for everyone else. In fact, I think you are giving a group unneeded power by suddenly categorizing certain words as their language that should only be used by them.

The main use so far has been to allow crypto exchanges to let you trade between cyptocurrencies and dollar equivalents without getting involved with banking regulations or banks. If you set up a crypto exchange doing say bitcoin - usdt, it's basically just software you can upload without needing accounts, licenses etc assuming the owners are nominally not in regulated countries.
My typical process is to start in Mac's Pages app, using the Page Layout mode (Edit > Convert to Page Layout before doing anything). Very intuitive and a lot of control over placing elements on the page. Much better than using Word and without the major expense of more sophisticated/advance layout software.

Then, as others have suggested, Print > Save as PDF.

If I require the PDF to have editable fields, I then use Adobe Acrobat Pro. Fairly easy for simple use cases. Not sure of the cost on that.

They were probably our (Virtualmin) biggest user for a few years. They used the Open Source version so we didn't see much revenue from it (occasionally their users would upgrade to the commercial version), but they sponsored a few Solaris-related features in Virtualmin/Webmin and sent us patches now and then. The shared hosting stuff that used Virtualmin was TextDrive, and once they moved to container-based products they stopped including a control panel at some point (and they're container management stuff didn't use our tools for that), so we lost touch with them.

Edit: It's also how Twitter used Virtualmin in their early days, as they were hosted at Joyent. (I didn't know this until Evan Williams told me at a YC event. That was pretty cool.)
Perhaps humans wont end up being inferior instead we will just end up being part of the system that creates the next level of life.

When I was a kid, and learned about the billions of cells and bacteria making up my body, and how they communicated with molecules and worked together in immensely complex ways. Specializing and signaling and coming into existence and dying, and so on... I wondered if they were aware that they were part of a huge complex organism, or if they were just "doing their thing" oblivious to my existence.

Ofcourse, cells aren't conscious so they aren't aware of anything, but wouldn't it be interesting, if we humans end up acting like these cells and bacteria, completely unaware of the next level of life we were creating. We could just be "doing our thing" building our networks, and computers and machines, and going through our lives and such.. meanwhile it is all to sustain a level of life that we, like our own cells, do not realize we are a part of.

I’ve posted it before. But it gets confusing on the global stage. Software Engineer is a protected title in some countries.

SE in US seems to mean just Software Developer I guess?
I don't have tangible information, but what I'm referring to is what I know from experience in my social circle. Maybe, as you say, my perspective is distorted in some way. However, 15 years ago if you wanted to meet someone you had to go out and talk to people, which is hard and you're more open to hearing someone out. Today you open an app and swipe into oblivion and no one seems good enough. I've heard many people say that; both men and women. I've had people show me perfectly nice looking people they met through online dating and they either swiped right or rejected them after one date because they weren't good enough.

And again, it's important to marry someone you want to marry and not marry just because you're getting older or for the sake of it. Those marriages, more often than not, end in divorce. But I see a lot of people either using Tinder as a way to get as many one night stands as possible, or swiping away looking for someone perfect who they'll never find. I also know people who developed severe depression because they were on the receiving end of perpetuated ghosting.

I am, by no means, saying that online dating hasn't worked for people, but it just seems like it's done more harm than it's done good.
I know that there isn't a lot of scientific support for Myers-Briggs vs the Big 5 personality test - but I always found the "judging" vs "perceiving" aspect of Myers-Briggs to be sonewhat meaningful in understanding people's mindsets.

It would be interesting if they did do myers-Briggs and other personality inventories alongside these studies just to see if it really does match up.

It's not just the upfront cost either, but once you bury the cables all future cable upgrades and replacements will be more expensive too.

Burying cables nevertheless makes sense in some places, particularly dense areas. For areas with low population density (most of the land mass of the US for instance) it's totally cost prohibitive.
I don't use them for banking, but using their app for my Chase credit card is a pretty terrible experience. Their notifications are super unreliable, not only sometimes skipping random transactions but also unsubscribing me from everything occasionally.

I'm not sure I agree. I think 'hacked' is widely enough known with its negative connotation. If Google posted a blog titled 'We got hacked', everyone would immediately click on it and their heart probably skip a beat. And in English it only makes sense that who hacks, but a hacker.

Regardless of original meaning, as happens with language, words definitions change based on usage and common understanding. I think the 'hacker' battle has been lost, and those examples you listed should use a different term that would be more easily adopted.

It's posted by a corporation to sell a product. I think it's disingenuous to claim it's not an ad, though whether the content of the ad is illegal is admittedly debatable.

(As an aside, it's my understanding the "Promoted" tag is added specifically to comply with FTC guidelines that paid content be labeled.)

I don’t think the criticism is on the “electrically induced flickering” part of the statement. The entire embryo at that stage is about the size of a kidney bean.

That's pretty much what this means.
