Well, women and minorities are totally different case, not some general case of "the small group tends to get less pay".

For one, women are more than men (slightly, around 51%, but more. And if not more, equal). So it's not true that "the small group tends to get less pay" in this case. Women are less only in some jobs (like IT). There are more women than men in others (e.g. in education it's over 60% women). But even in those jobs women might be paid less than men.

Second, women and minorities being paid less can be explained by many factors, from discrimination, to women (either naturally, or by nurture) not pursuing promotions/raises aggressively enough, to exploitation (e.g. since some minorities are in bad condition socially, or might be afraid of deportation etc, one can exploit that to pay them less, "take it or leave it"). These practices of course can not be the case with tabs/spaces.

Third, there are countries where the majority gets less pay. E.g. in South Africa the whites are paid more than blacks, same for other countries with a smaller more privileged citizenry and a wider base of rural/indigenous/colored/etc population.

150 years ago. Today if Scotland voted to leave the UK with a clear majority, the UK would let them go. If Puerto Rico voted to leave the US with a clear majority, the US would let them go.

I'm not sure what would happen if say 75% of a city wanted to leave the US because that has never happened and isn't very likely to.

Nobody wants to hear that the only solution is to keep human population levels to something sustainably low. It's more fun to pretend that shiny new tech will save us.
It depends on the version most release builds of Firefox require addons to be signed by Mozilla with the exception on Linux and developer versions. You can also change this by compiling yourself.
Cannabis is just a substance, if I drink kombucha and eat broccoli while at a party it’s still going to be a “waste of time”. If I get high and go for an 8 mile hike and meditate at the top of a hill it’s going to be a great experience and really feel like an important and memorable use of my time.

Granted alcohol and weed hinder self discipline but don’t blame the substances for your actions. Have you ever done a long run or bike ride and had a beer or two at the end? It is pure joy!
So not accepting content from the United States then? Bad content != illegal.

> If we "return" to not discussing anything with our peers and just being professional robots, to avoid 'chaos', we'll have lost our last healthy outlet for this sort of thing.

Absolutely not. It means your healthy outlet will be with your friends, those mututally selected for compatibility, and in contexts where such discussions are presumably welcome.

As opposed to the workplace, with people brought together by happenstance to cooperate productively, despite personal differences that are irrelevant to the production process.

> I attribute this far more towards the current climate of virtue signalling:

In many a historical era, tiny theological or political disputes have set neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother.

In the aftermath, the solution that civilized societies evolved was: don't discuss politics or religion! It worked. Let's restore it.
You can test and arrest for objective things, not subjective ones.

"Who can or can't drive" is a subjective criteria. Objective criteria is someone under the influence of x or y substance.
I wrote a shader to do computation once. It wasn't too bad actually.
I've been a daily cannabis user for over a decade. I have a prescription for this, like millions of others with prescriptions for psychoactive medications without driving limitations. Would you send someone to prison for driving because they took their Adderall that morning? Cannabis is not like alcohol in regard to impairment of motor function and decision-making under the influence. Surely the same concentrations of particulate correlate to different levels of impairment in different individuals. Of course it is possible for individuals to be impaired by cannabis to the extent that driving would be dangerous. There are many factors. I'm wary of a device that purports to determine actions as dangerous based on the the measure of some particulate in the breath.

Founder Collective: Startup Success Data Outside Silicon Valley
Very exciting. While in medical school, I taught myself a decent amount of Ruby and learned the Rails framework due to an old mentor of mine.

The same app that I learned with is now a full fledged startup, with thousands of future doctors using it, and one of our DB tables has nearly 1m objects.

Kudos to the rails team, really. I know a lot of titles and headlines talk about "is Rails dead?" and this should put it to rest. It might not be the most cutting edge technology, but it's proven.
> If someone wants to join the chat, then its on them to get on board with what everyone else wants.

However, when a community of people chooses Whatsapp as the exclusive form of communication, everyone in that community is forced to get that app or be left out of the loop. Those who object to installing Whatsapp because of the serious privacy controversies surrounding its parent are left with no choice.

This is where Messages shines, as it doesn't exclude those who can't or don't want to get an Apple device. And while the SMS fallback is indeed degraded, it still fulfills its basic promise: quick textual exchange of information. Additionally, if the recipient does get excluded because of the degraded experience, it shifts the fault and liability for not-knowing from the recipient who didn't want to accept the WhatsApp TOS to the senders who didn't provide the information because they didn't like the green bubble, although I'm fully aware that that's not how it always plays out in reality.

Neither approach is ideal, but I believe it's more important that no one should feel forced to install a proprietary app they don't trust just so they can stay up to date with their community, even if they are the single person objecting.

TL;DR Even though it falls back to its most rudimentary form, Messages by default doesn't cut off people that don't bring in any money for its parent. WhatsApp does.

What do you think about the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report to Congress? https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/81...

It seems pretty clear in terms of the art of the science and the impairment observed from actual national data.
That's great advice - but it amounts to 'be careful and qualify your opinion to show you're _not_ racist'. That's exactly what people are complaining about.

The migrant detention issue has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of _legal_ immigration. Bringing it up does nothing other than to distract and prevent discussion on the original topic!

If we could just discuss issues _in good faith_ and stop with the name calling we might actually be able to solve some of them -- together.
Wow, that's way too many. Unless each number is going to be targeted with a long-term awareness campaign (as 311 and 911 are, and as the suicide hotline number is likely to be), it's hard to justify them. No one's gonna remember them.
There's more to meditation than just mindfulness. Look into samatha practice.
Do you seriously think that celebrities are scared to say bad things about their government/president? And if they do, that there will be repercussions?

You can't be serious right?
From talking to my friends, pretty much what you'd expect:

- The government can't act quickly, and the things it does are often stupid.

- It also can't be trusted.

My favorite remark on this general topic actually came when I asked someone how Chinese generally thought of the US. Her response was along the lines of "Some people view it as the promised land, where everything is better. Some people are more cynical. There's one guy at my company who always has something negative to say about America. But even he says they did one thing we should thank them for: they published the air pollution numbers."

She was shocked when I told her, in another conversation, that there is a contingency in the US that is very vocally envious of how quickly the Chinese government can get things done.

What makes you so confident? I think the current belief, as decided in Lenz was that the law requires copyright holders to consider fair use before filing a takedown notice:

"The panel held that the DCMA requires copyright holders to consider fair use before sending a takedown notification, and that failure to do so raises a triable issue as to whether the copyright holder formed a subjective good faith belief that the use was not authorized by law."

Have I missed some precedent that overturns this?
Funny, I first saw this law mentioned yesterday in a discussion about a new PHP Laravel package for handling incoming mail.
Yes. All extensions have to be signed by Mozilla, even if they're distributed outside their directory. The only way would be able to install it is by downloading an unzipped version and sideloading it. However, it will be removed if you restart firefox, and you will have to re-add it.
I’ve got a 2013 Audi S5 and 2016 SQ5 sitting in my garage right now. They look great and are a lot of fun to drive, but have had materially more issues per mile than all but one other car I’ve owned (2003 Ford Expedition that was just shy of lemon status).
I seen an article about one farm with raised panels that catch about 50% of the sun, not only does the grass still grow but the sheep that eat the grass like having the shade from the hot sun.

The land with two revenue streams now makes more money than it did before when it was only a sheep ranch.
That’s exactly what best saber is. I bought an oculus quest purely due to beat saber. Everything else it can do was/is/will be a bonus!
I would also suggest that if you want to try doing it without an app, try something like:

Wait for a free moment at home, maybe after work, set a timer on your phone for ten minuites, and sit cross legged if you can, or in a comfortable position if not, and just try to focus on your breathing for that time.

It's surprisingly difficult. You may find that its suddenly a lot easier to think about all the things you have to do later, and want to do them now, but resist the urge. This ability to bring things to your head easier is one of the benefits of meditation, and is suprisingly immediate.
Have you guys actually established a relationship between presence of THC and actual driving impairment? I doubt it. Seems to me that you guys are just out to make a quick buck and the way you are framing the rhetoric is just a nice story.

At what levels of THC concentrations is driving empirically impaired and is this measurement consistent across everyone? What evidence do you have to support that THC impairs driving?
I wrote a post about just this topic: http://joshuaspodek.com/choice-sidcha-isnt-important. It has a bunch of pictures or I'd copy it here, but the upshot is that more value comes from doing something self-imposed healthy and active every day than from the specific activity.

In my experience, a lot of mental mastery comes from discipline, focus, dedication, and such from consistently overcoming challenges.

From how you characterize creating art as drawing "nice pictures", I suspect you might underestimate the value of artistic self-expression, fitness, and other things, but I might be misinterpreting.
It is a finable offense...in some states, like California.
Indeed, something like this could even get an insurance company's license to sell insurance in one of those states revoked.
Hooks still show up without variable names associated with them (I say still because I was using this before release). I assumed they would try to find a way around it. In the current state the hooks support is useless.
Great question. The pathway by which THC gets into your breath has not been well studied that this point. That is one of the things we are actually trying to enable!

In general, it appears that it is a mix of deposition directly into the lungs and diffusion from the blood stream. Other non-volatiles, such as other drugs of abuse taken intravenously, have been detected in breath before. I would check out the research done by Olof Beck. He is fairly prolific in this space.

We are actually testing edibles right now, so we will know more in the coming months.
Really? Either you don't see the comments or maybe because you see orange on the site :D :D :D
As far as I can tell from a brief check, it just says it "fix tridactyl on addons.mozilla.org".

But it's overriding a fairly useful setting, one that we use internally: By preventing webextensions from running on "sensitive domains", which includes AMO by default (since that could allow an addon to install more addons and bypass or hide the user prompts, I gather), but it would also include any other domains you've marked as sensitive.

I don't use Firefox at work unfortunately (because of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=963354), but we generally want to allow users to install addons on non-sensitive sites.

Internal domains that are much higher risk, and may have regulatory requirements around who can receive data on them (eg, because of GDPR). So we'd use a setting like this (or the equivalent in Chrome) to restrict addons on those very sensitive sites. Having addons like Tridactyl that undermines that is a big red flag.

I admit I don't fully understand all the nuances here, but it seems like Mozilla's stance closely aligns with what I'd expect here.
Gas is quicker to start up and meet demand usually as well.

It could well have been a maintenance thing. Maybe it was a test fire of some new equipment or configuration. It could also have been a contractual thing. A minimum supply they agreed upon with the organisation who manages the grid.

Definitely some bias in reporting. If this happens at a small company no one cares, it's just another day.

Also I feel like Google had attracted some idealistic people who are surprised when real life doesn't conform to their expectations, then their reaction is disproportionate and overly centered on the work environment.
This part is a great step for some of the people uploading videos.

Content ID will not catch stuff like a guitar teacher teaching a 30 minute lesson on soloing in E minor Pentatonic and playing 5 notes of a copyrighted song with a totally different tone than the original song.

Manual ID was causing the record company to be able to claim all the revenue for the whole 3 minute lesson as if the whole video was a performance of their whole song.
I can kind of understand why they want the developers to remove the line from people's user.js file, but why can't they tell the users when they do this? Why do they have to do it "without user interaction?"

For me this was from my own frustration: I hate sign-up form and don't want to use "Login with Facebook/Google/..." either as these companies will have even more data about me.

I looked for an alternative to these social login buttons but haven't found any. I decided to quit my job as lead software engineer and created my own company that offers a social login solution that protects user identity [1].

The previous startup came also from another frustration (maybe because we are frustrated in France all the time ...) so my pattern would be to find something that bothers you (and hopefully others) and solves it.

Would you say as someone who deals with these larger planes that at least the 787 current gen is closer to an older style chassis and body for cars? I have always imagined/assumed that 787's are not unique that they would be the same 'chassis' for a cargo plane or a passenger plane, and it really would have to do with how they fitted the plane for purpose?

This is part of the reason why I agree with you, because I don't see why the 787 would be unique by mixing avionics/mechatronics with the passenger systems but I don't know enough to say it with confidence. They would have designed the passenger systems to be independent and replaceable (especially with the knowledge gained from the legacies and upgrades of other planes like the 737).

Is there any public guides for 787 chassis and maintenance that you could point to as being reasonable things to read about this new style plane?

You have people who start political mailing lists on gender pronouns and technicalities that nobody on the street has ever thought about, but then that same person talks about homeless people in front of the office with a sort of callousness and elitism that is pretty breathtaking.

I can't agree with this more.

I sat through a discussion a few years ago that really opened my eyes... a group of younger artists - that normally discussed things like a lack of racial diversity in the company, transgender rights etc - passionately cheering on the owner of a trendy brunch spot who was on the news for tossing out parents with a crying infant. It struck me that their seemingly endless compassion for humanity might not actually be all that genuine after all.

I thought that being interested in social justice would at the very least require some basic human compassion and empathy, but perhaps that's where I was wrong.

The technical term that Google used was "fired for promoting harmful gender stereotypes" which is more subtle than misogyny. It's not clear to me that James Damore was misogynistic, but rather did a very poor job of articulating his belief that women and men are different, that those differences could help explain why there are highly skewed gender ratios in tech, and then tried to justify this by citing a wide range of psychology literature, much of which is (IMO) questionable. He didn't help his case by using terms that trigger people, like neuroticism, which have a specific meaning in psychological literature (remember, he got kicked out of Harvard's Systems Bio program, so he presumably had some exposure to biological/medical literature) but a very different connotation in popular culture.

What amazes me about this document (which continues to polarize people) is how many different ways it's been interpreted. People impute their own beliefs onto his language.
It is crazy how a company making false claims can ruin you so easily, and you cannot fight back or be compensated.

You can fight back, and if you win you would be very well compensated in the form of actual and punitive damages (assuming the insurance company didn't settle before trial).
We do not have a Ministry of Truth that restricts and punishes people before for what the have not yet said. We have the rule of law that gets involved after the fact.

> The problem is, people have been coddled so much and isolated from it to the point that they're unable to cope with it when they experience it. More people need to spend more time pushing themselves into uncomfortable positions instead of averting them.

I promise you that when LGBT people encounter bigotry at work, the problem is not that they've never been discriminated against before and need more discrimination to toughen them up.

The way you're describing this makes it sound like an extremely difficult process. In some ways, it is. However, every BT device that exists is currently capable of doing this frequency tracking and tight timing. It's merely a matter of starting to transmit slightly earlier and significantly louder than a normal BT transmit after sniffing the start of the connection.

This attack should be possible from any software-defined radio that's capable of sniffing on and forming BT connections.
