> But why would they actually risk hiring young women of child bearing age?

Why would they risk hiring young women, regardless? With mandatory parental leave some of the risk of absenteeism shifts to men, which means women are comparatively less of an absentee risk. Likewise, the costs (onboarding, insurance, etc) are also shared across the sexes which makes women comparatively less costly to hire.

Whether society is overall better off is a different question. And whether women come out ahead is still ultimately an empirical question. But "gotcha" arguments about how the unintended consequences of such well meaning policies will have the opposite effect aren't very persuasive to me.
Overpopulation is overwhelming the world.
For those interested in prehistoric instruments, I suggest the research by Dr. Lana Neal. It is a book (based on Dr. Neal's Ph.D. thesis) on the Paleolithic flute. The evidence includes, quite naturally, radiocarbon-dated instruments and fragments, but most interesting to me where the cave paintings that include quite clear depictions of flute players.

It makes me want to spend an entire month's worth of weekends writing a native clone that no one will ever use.

If you ever do, I'd suggest doing the same with Slack might get far more attention, given that it has a publicly documented API as well as a few thirdparty clients already.

Also, why did this have to be developed using electron?

Probably because Web/JS developers are far more common and cheaper than native ones? Otherwise, even MS itself is saying "Win32 is the future":

These sentences seemed at odds with one another:

> Banana agriculture is itself partly to blame for the potential of the fungus to spread. Commercial plantations grow almost exclusively one clonal variety, called the Cavendish; these plants’ identical genetics mean they are also identically susceptible to disease.

and then very shortly after saying:

What kind of help worked for you? Did you end up taking medication?
Heck, it's still a problem with direct connections. Take the average Windows PC. Take the average Android phone. Take a USB cable. Plug them in together. Now copy a few thousand MP3s from the PC to the phone using nothing but stock Explorer and watch the transfer rate drop to about 1/1000th of what the wired connection should be capable of, because Microsoft made sure to assign their most inept, incapable, dumbest employees when they designed MTP.
That works both ways too, the mortality rate went from 50-75% to 6% if they sought treatment immediately. Which is a significant indicator of success.

> Canada's fertility rate is estimated to be approximately 1.6 children born per woman[1], and I'm fairly confident in my guess that the people who have children in excess of the average are disproportional unemployable people on social welfare, given that is presently the state of the things in the very similar Commonwealth country I reside in, Australia.

This is also why I don't buy the arguments common from millennials regarding why they're choosing not to have children. Setting aside the fact that such choices are hardly as selfless as they appear, the people I would most want to have children are the very ones both economically capable and ethically willing to be so considerate. This is true even if (and I assume it so) the decisions of other less consideration-capable people are entirely independent.

More concretely, if you're concerned about global warming, the carrying capacity of the world, ecological stewardship, etc then one of the worst things you could possibly do is not have a family. Whether to have your own biological children or adopt is a more complex issue, but suffice it say simply choosing not to have kids doesn't further the supposed ethical goals. That's less living what you preach and more an abdication of responsibility.
Not sure of the specifics here - one reconciliation of the two statements could be, that Cavendish proved to be a good transport vector for this particular strain of fungus to spread rapidly on a global scale, notwithstanding its broad virulence.

Generally the courts punish "crimes against justice" such as perjury very harshly as it is seen as an attack on the rule of law itself, something much more valuable than any amount of money.

It is great news, and also evidence of how much better it is to be aware of diseases that happen in remote, poor parts of the world. If the rich world had ignored Ebola because it was happening to poor people (mostly, so far), then it could have become an AIDS/HIV sized epidemic (including in the rich world) before these treatments were developed. Plus the good karma of not just sitting there while your neighbor's house burns to the ground, of course.
Marketing people are really the worst. I don't want to run an ad blocker, but on most sites the ads are such a distraction from the content that I see little other option.
I've worked in an open office plan in various different offices and I vastly prefer it. I value being able to wave at my colleague to ask them a question. I value people not feeling interruptive when they approach me at my desk. I value the transparency of it all. We would even shuffle the desks (using a random algorithm) every quarter so people could have new neighbors (this was my favorite part, although I still consider myself an introvert). I'd rather be exposed at my desk than isolated in a tiny cube any day.

(This is not sarcasm, I've worked in these spaces for 3 years and I enjoy discussion about open office spaces.)
The time factor has already been solved by the battery management system (BMS) as it keeps the pack at an ideal temperature to vastly prolong the life. Battery chemistry will not change much over time as long as it does not get too hot/cold.

In addition, current data indicates that for the first 50,000 miles (100,000 km), most Tesla battery packs will lose about 5% of their capacity, but after the 50,000-mile mark, the capacity levels off and it looks like it could be difficult to make a pack degrade by another 5%.

There's a ton of data and anecdotes on this subject at the https://teslamotorsclub.com forums.

> I imagined vividly to be socially excluded at points in my life since that would be my plan B (great plan, I know, I gamble a bit with my life from time to time as I don’t see a better option).

I am having trouble understanding this sentence.

You plan B was to be socially excluded? Surely you plan B had a different goal, and exclusion was a side effect? Was was plan A?

Why did you imagine being excluded vividly? Were you actually being excluded?

I'm not sure about that--he's written a lot of political books about particular countries/wars, each of them lengthy and painstakingly researched and footnoted--they alone would have been an ample life's work for most people. (I mean the earlier books, not the recent ones mostly based on interviews/conversations.) Then there's all the speeches, conversations, interviews etc on political topics.

I don't think we are at odds with what you are saying. I'm 45 minutes through Tim Walters' video and there is absolutely nothing new for me so far. I suspect I'll get to the end and there will still be nothing new for me because I'm starting in the same place he is.

As for your example, I totally agree! Forcing you to log in to a social network to send a package is crazy. I order cheese making supplies on the internet because I have no other way to buy them. Not a single supplier of cheese making supplies even offers to make me log into a social network.

You're making the statement that all sites are blatantly disregarding the GDPR and I think it's because you just don't pay attention to the sites that aren't.

I'll give you an example (which is is cheese making again). I wanted to check the shipping costs for cheesemaking.com. I don't like the fact that they make me fill out all of their order forms before they tell me the shipping cost, but they do. They have a newsletter which they use to do their marketing, but for now I've not signed up for it. When I didn't complete the process, they sent me an email. They asked if something went wrong and said they will hold my order for 48 hours. After that, they will delete all of my information.

And these guys aren't even in the EU (and neither am I, although I work on contract for a company that is). This kind of behaviour is exactly what I expect and I think it is completely in line with the directives. The only thing they were missing is telling me under which lawful basis they were operating in each case.

Is it contract basis? Keep in mind that as far as I can tell, "contract basis" does not actually require a contract to be in place (i.e. you don't have to have consideration), so I think there is an argument for saying that since I contacted them and started to initiate a purchase, following up on why I didn't finish (for a limited time period) is within the directive.

Even if it weren't, it is almost definitely within legitimate interest. To really qualify for that, they would have to offer to let be object, but since they will delete my data after 48 hours I think they are following the spirit of the directive (because you only have to respond within 1 month).

I don't know. I think the reason you keep getting down voted is because you seem to be focussed on something that is different than what everyone else is talking about. It's absolutely true that there are a lot of companies who don't give a flying monkey's about GDPR. But it is untrue that there isn't anyone. The rest is details and as Tim Walters is at pain to explain the GDPR specifically is not prescriptive because they want you to follow the principles not a check list of rules.

Is there a reason no one has gone down the reinplementation route? It seems that since no one is willing (or able to) write OCaml, the next best thing is a completely new decentralised product, or simply rewriting it. I personally feel like the latter would be much easier as design choices don't need to be made, and once it's finished, server maintainers can simply have a drop in replacement.
I imagine parent is being a bit tongue in cheek. A syndrome is any group of symptoms that seem to occur together. Often something is called a syndrome before its cause is determined. However, even after a cause is found or if it was known, the name often persists. E.g. AIDS was named before it was traced back to HIV. It persists as the name for the late stages of an HIV infection.

So while it is often the case that when a syndrome is initially named its cause is unknown, the two are really referring to different levels of abstraction of a disease. The syndrome is its effects, irrespective of whether we know its cause.

PHP was originally invented to be a templating language. Your templating logic can still reside in a PHP file, function, or class, the same way it can in javascript with JSX.

WordPress isn't bad because it uses PHP as a templating language (I think it's just the go-to "bad PHP codebase" example people use without really understanding why they are citing it). It's bad because it has competing code patterns that it evolved over time because it has to maintain backwards compatibility with an entire plugin ecosystem that is now decades old.
Freud on Seuss: “The Cat in the Hat” (1999)
Bananas are the prime cautionary tale against monoculture. The number of native breeds which are now gone for the sake of promotion of one particular breed leads to less resilience against disease and pests. Just in my corner of India, there are various varieties. [1] However, in the U.S., the only variety you often get to see is the insipid Cavendish, whose only merit seems to be shelf-life.

If you travel in the tropics, do try out local varieties. It is an amazing fruit (?).

When I was a summer intern for a county computer service facility in the early 80s, they had a big IBM mainframe, and a bespoke program for school bus routing. Every summer, this program consumed a fair amount of the activity for the facility, which contained more than a dozen individual school districts.

I don't know the extent to which it was capable of optimizing the schedules, but it was considered to be a pretty big deal. There was apparently a lot of hand-coded logic for dealing with things like one-way streets and not wanting bus stops on busy streets.

The Rush Towards Tyranny
The major payback of buying an electric car is that it creates knock-on effects by (a) causing battery and charging technology to accelerate more quickly than any other consumer dollar expenditure can, which will have other benefits ranging from grid storage to electrified public transit, (b) demonstrating to automakers that ICE cars are a dead end, and they should accelerate their plans to move to electric (which they are doing more rapidly now, thanks to consumers buying so many EVs), which hopefully (c) leads to a virtuous cycle in which ICE deployment drops, governments legislate against gas cars (at least in Europe and China at first), oil demand drops, investment in oil exploration drops, refining pollution drops off a cliff, and maybe we have a fighting chance of making it through the next few decades. Obviously none of this is sufficient on its own, but certainly a better way of spending consumer dollars than buying a petroleum car.

Also, from a selfish perspective, EVs are almost infinitely more fun to drive. Don’t even get me started (as someone who has a parking spot with a charger) about this ridiculous historical idea of going to buy my fuel at some “gas station” instead of having it delivered to my house while I sleep.
It seems to be the difference between carbon emissions and carbon dioxide emissions. From a different web page:

"Global carbon (C) emissions from fossil fuel use were 9.795 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2014 (or 35.9 GtCO2 of carbon dioxide)."

https://www.co2.earth/global-co2-emissions

Carbon's atomic mass is about 12 and oxygen about 16. CO2 is about 27% carbon by weight.
This is so confusing to me. They’re in the same sector but completely different in terms of technology and approach.

It’s almost like Tesla buying a petrol powered car company and just keeping it as is.

If memory serves Rolls placed the blame on the initial problems with the Trent 1000 on air quality in SE Asia (high sulfur content specifically). Which is to say, I don't get the impression that certification was done sloppily.

Are planes required to have one old-reliable engine?

Reliability is (theoretically) improved. From following threads on a.net and pprune it seems like Norwegian actually demanded new engines instead of repaired older ones.

Personally, I'm of the mindset that engines are fantastically safe these days. Piston engines were notoriously unreliable, and even older jet engines were deemed unreliable enough to require more than two for oversea crossings. Look back to when the L-1011 was introduced. It was late due to problems with the Rolls Royce RB-211 (predecessor to the Trent family). Even after the L-1011 began service in-flight shutdowns were pretty common. What we're seeing with the 787 is seemingly less frequent and has provoked a stronger reaction. Of course GE (CFM) isn't immune to problems either and if you look back over their history they've had a few nasty problems including that fairly recent Southwest flight with a passenger fatality.
Kinda depends.

Layer 3 forwarding is all the same. Whitebox stuff generally comes with simple routing protocol implementations.

Cisco, Juniper, et al. have routing protocol implementations generally guaranteed to work with their other network elements. That's how the L3 forwarding tables get populated.

Whether that makes a difference depends on the network architecture. FAANG companies and others are deploying whitebox switches, building "underlay" networks using eBGP, and using SDN as an overlay basically obviating the need to have much intelligence built into the network element.

Cumulus Linux replicates these efforts to some extent. One gets a whitebox switch running Linux with open source routing protocol implementations and configuration via something like ansible.
