In men’s issues (where I volunteer), the reason they don’t generally call the police or subscribe to a psychologist is because of incels who commit terrorist attacks. Who would want to call the police and say they’re upset with the system, knowing the first thing the police may do to remove the risk is to remove... you? Sometimes they go to a psy, under a false name.

A men are the first suiciders, so it’s worth weighing this is. Once we find a group for them where they can share the problems they have with women, they’re generally defused and talk about their thoughts years later. It’s living in the omerta and denial of women’s issues that multiplies anger.
If Google knows they're not legally compelled to provide support they just don't. That's why their support can scale to Play Store's 2 billion users but not Gmails.

If the EU ever gets around to forcing Google to support their users regardless of how they are enriching Google the moral of the story will be they saved billions by waiting until litigation. Just like taxes.
Totally agree. All our other cars have been bought used. My wife’s CR-V has been excellent and was $7500 (or maybe it was $8500) when 5-ish years old. We don’t carry collision insurance on it at this point.

I wouldn’t have bought the LEAF new either if it weren’t for the $10K in government cheese that came with it. (I can buy a $32K car; I just choose not to as it seems a waste.)
Honestly... Way to give a non-apology and twist the narrative.

'I have personally grown past the hate of the two party system'.

No, your 'hate of the two party system' was not what the problem was and I am pretty sure you are smart enough to figure that out. You were not locked for tweeting against the two party system. Let's not pretend this ban had anything to do with politics. If anything Twitter is full of left-leaning folks many of whom would celebrate such juvenile and crass language.
“Death by cop” is a form of suicide. Some will try to create a situation where the cop has no choice but to kill or be killed.
Probably the most compelling feature of Blender being open source with a significant community is that it's the one 3d tool that Autodesk can't simply buy out.
Ex cannabis user here, so I thought I'd give you my empirical perspective & and opinion.

I will tell you what I would tell my own child:

Cannabis, like any recreational drug, steals the most precious resource we have: our time. I've been on benders in my life that I simply can not remember what I did during that period, sure, but that's not what I'm talking about.

What I am talking about is the time any person needs to become a well adjusted, functioning adult. When you are taking a recreational drug, you are not dealing with life, you are on a 'get away'.

Life is the best teacher and recreational drugs are how you forfeit that precious, amazing, education.

You don't have to go far to see this in action. Think of someone who is a habitual drug user and ask yourself 'are they emotionally mature?'. They aren't. They are taking an escape. Recreational drugs are antithetical to emotional growth.

This type of behavior is ESPECIALLY harmful if you are taking recreational drugs early in life. It simply puts you behind.

I wasted 20 years of my life 'partying' even on a casual basis. Time slips away and being high puts time on a damn bullet train.

I heard recently that the fastest way for an addict to relapse is a windfall of money. Money doesn't help them get out of their situation because money is hard to manage, particularly if you are emotionally immature.

tl/dr: Recreational drugs make you immature which will prevent you from going very far in life.
It's easy for what passes for a skeptical attitude to actually _be_ a blind acceptance. Whether of another implicit and unexamined paradigm that one is operating from, or just a dissonance-triggered knee-jerk. It's a very sneaky self-deception, false skepticism.
It's almost like they don't want to spook the cattle.
Why not just use a normal belt and some way of tensioning it like every other belt drive in the world uses? Seems like the fancy belt (and more importantly, the fancy pulleys that go with it) drives up cost substantially.
"There’s no hope of understanding the DOM with React"

This is false. I've been developing with React for over a year and a half and have never used the React dev tools. I've only ever used the browser's web inspector and it's fine. We don't write CSS in JS, so this could play in to that, but when we were evaluating those solutions it wasn't impossible to figure out what was going on, even if you had hashes for class names.
Again, the statistics are about more the 'being black'. They are about neighborhood, economics, social norms. Resulting in altercations between mostly-white police and black citizens getting out of hand.

Its not right; I'm not arguing that. But until we understand the actual reasons behind the statistics, its just a shouting contest.

> I guess basically what I'm saying is that Google's content moderation problem is really a problem with our society, our politics, and our press.

Were those activists you mentioned campaigning to explicitly get respected analysts removed? Not from what I remember.

Lets compare this with a hypothetical: Lets say activists successfully got gov to newly introduce a speed limit. Some time later, a huge chunk of the emergency service personnel is in prison for breaking this new law. Would you actually blame this on activist's? Or maybe a retarded court system, probably combined with incompetent legislators.

Back to Youtube. They are either incompetent at making rules or incompetent at reasonably enforcing them, probably cause they entirely offload the latter on some shitty algorithm. Don't get me wrong, algorithms are great as first heuristic to save work. But there has to be a way to get to higher court levels, even if there is some form of cost.
Not like a human can, actually. Fixed cameras are fixed relative to the bodywork, necks are not. OTOH, if I move my head it's usually to get around a blind spot, something cameras have less of an issue with.
True, although data science seems to have an elevated discrepancy of expectations vs. reality.
Did you actually bother reading your articles?

The person was shot after attacking the cops. You make it sound like they just shot these people for fun.
Why is that worthy of criticism? I think that it's also human nature to refrain from talking politics at work.

Personally, political issues are usually reserved for friends & family...I don't bring them into the workplace.
Good tactic, that'd work. :)

That's not a 'uniquely American problem' at all. e.g. Berlin's Brandenburg airport, UK's HS2, third Heathrow runway, etc. Infrasturcture projects lag in almost all developed countries for various political reasons.
> There is something psychologically triggering about seeing people who look like you routinely killed by the state, regardless of the circumstances or politics.

Yes, the media indeed loves to intentionally psychologically trigger people.

Police brutality happens to white people and latino people as well (at lower rates, but in greater numbers), but such stories wouldn't psychologically trigger/racially divide people and so they remain unpublished.

No. Benzene is an aromatic ring. It has C-C=C sequences that easily flip to C=C-C, making electrons in the ring highly mobile. A C≡C-C sequence does not easily flip to C=C=C, or vice versa. Those electrons are a lot less mobile.

Also, alternating single and double bonds leave a bonding site on each carbon for a functional group. Alternating single and triple bonds use up all four (easy) carbon bonds, and you can't cram another bond in there without an insanely powerful acid.

Lab Sharing? Thoughts?
Hey guys, sorry I have been a long-time lurker and was very nervous to post this. I made colabsci.com and have gotten good feedback from the people in my lab. Should I switch the concept to sharing lab equipment/skills/training to sharing any skills irl? For example, learning how to drive stick (stuff you can't learn on the internet). Would love to hear from this community! :)
Please don't use code formatting for things that aren't code. The side scrolling makes it annoying to read on desktop, and borderline impossible to read on mobile.

List above with line breaks:

- Where are we routing this

- When the target is full, which hotlines do we route to and in what order (load balancing)

- Will this use e911 coordinate forwarding? i.e. what privacy controls will be in place

- Will this get priority override on cell networks? i.e. bump non 988 calls when cell site is full, but not bump 911 or first responders. (GSM capability)
I think reasonable people can disagree about whether this is racist. I would be very cautious bandying around huge accusations about racism like this. Certainly it seems very different from actively going and taking actions against people in a class you believe are inferior.

Many of us who are reasonable and rational come to different conclusions- for example, while I fully support peaceful protests, I think any protest which blocks traffic is unwise and likely to generate negative responses in people who would otherwise be sympathetic.

It's not just about it "being green", the contrast between the text and the background is lower with the green SMS bubbles than the blue iMessage bubbles, making it harder to read. I guarantee you if the SMS bubbles were a shade or two darker green people wouldn't care as much.
Cryptonomicon is OK, but far inferior to Snow Crash and The Diamond Age. I think the latter is an incredibly inspiring vision of technology used for good, as opposed to how today’s best and brightest are focusing their energy into increasing ad click-through conversion rates by 3%.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but at best, it's simply an explanation of the realpolitik motives of China. Yes, Hong Kong was ultimately created through some nefarious tactics by the British. But that was 150 years ago. The people living in Hong Kong now are overwhelming ethnic Chinese (92%), have their own culture, and while not perfect, are far more democratic and freedom-loving than the CCP is. If you support the right of peoples to be self-determining, then it seems to me that China is clearly the antagonist here.
Wow, I'm kind of surprised at all the "Woah, so inspiring!" comments. This is the kind of cultish "advice" that results in boatloads of jaded, isolated folks. It's shitty advice for 2 reasons:

1. First, most people who follow the "only follow your passion" advice WILL fail, so not only will they have lost their "girlfriends, wives, relatives", etc., but they'll feel the dejection of it not being successful.

2. More importantly, and this is really my main point, but I think most people who follow this advice and succeed will find it is a pyrrhic victory. When you've reached what you thought was they pinnacle of your success, but you look around and you see you've burned most of your bridges to get there, it turns out to be a very lonely place.

I think the vast majority of people will find that if they give appropriate attention to their self care and their relationships, it will make achieving their goals easier, not the other way around.
Just remember to avoid fastmail (due to the terrible Australian tech laws - essentially anyone can be coerced into installing backdoors / surveillance tech into any system and they're required to maintain secrecy). So add the avoidance of any Australian service to your matrix of considerations.

The protesters apologizing are presumably not the same whose behavior they're apologizing for. It just shows that the protest movement is not homogeneous and does not as a whole support indiscriminate violence.
You are correct. I'll edit my comment.
This has been going on for decades with MS Office. I recently proposed to an elderly acquaintance that they get a Chromebook because a full Windows installation was causing them so much trouble, but they couldn't because their peers edited one specific document using MS Word and for some reason it caused trouble when people edited it online. And that's just at the individual level, MS Office lock-in is a fact for so many organizations. People who really care about consumer choice, competition, and the free/open option should be vigorously working against these issues.
At least you are aware that your news source choices bias you toward only hearing about bad things.

I think the more relevant distinction here is that email is federated. Once Mailchimp has sent out the emails, there's not much it can do, and it would be pretty unreasonable to force Mailchimp to review filter all their emails.

Twitter, on the other hand, is publishing these messages on their site. It's very easy for them to simply stop publishing those messages. Because Twitter is in charge of Twitter, it also has to be concerned about it's brand. The more public nature of Twitter also help this along, of course.

If something like this was to happen in the ActivityPub or XMPP space, the way of handling it would probably be something in closer to email than twitter.
> The rule of thumb I use is to ask: if someone had shouted this in a supermarket or bank line, what would happen?

I can see the appeal, but I'm not sure about this. There are tons of conversations that are (to my mind) acceptable on Twitter that would be improper on other public settings.

For example there are lots of security vulnerability discussions on Twitter that I think would get you in trouble if you were loudly talking about them while waiting in line at the bank. I've seen impolite and vulgar jokes that are acceptable to share with friends who might follow you on Twitter, but would cause some pearl clutching at my local Whole Foods.

The problem (to my eye) is that Twitter is public, but public behavior isn't universal.
They never had a monetization plan and don't charge for use and their last re-design was in 2012? How do you think they make money? Either they don't and they are going to disappear soon or they do and they are just another data pimp.

They got bought by Skype awhile back which is being shelved in favor of Teams. I bet MSFT shuts it down once it remembers it still exists.
If you use the same juice frequently, over time that flavor will diminish. This is known as "vape tongue" in some communities. When I vaped after kicking cigarettes I had 2-3 different flavors I would rotate to mitigate this.

Another disadvantage is repairability. If your chain snaps you can fix it with a quick link or a pin and a little multitool with chain tool functionality. If your belt snaps you‘re screwed, unless you carry a spare belt everywhere.
I see WhatsApp used in the US among folks with relatively large networks of international acquaintances. For those with more domestic social networks, pplain SMS, iMessage, GroupMe, and Facebook Messenger seem to be more common among the general population. Signal, Telegram, Discord, and Slack are pretty prevalent with techies.
Wow, that's really interesting, I didn't know that, thanks.

So are you indeed saying HK identifies more with the plight of Guangdong than the principles of British democracy? To me it still would seem that Guangdong's resistance to Beijing is fundamentally different from HK's, so that it's merely coincidence that both Guangdong and HK have reason to feel tension with Beijing.

I completely appreciate that HK further differentiated itself from the mainland, in the same way Taiwan did, during the Cultural Revolution. And I see how that must fuel HK's desire for autonomy. But I don't see how that gives any more insight into Beijing's view, which is what I'm trying to bring more awareness to. How do we get beyond the black and white perspective that "China Bad, Honk Kong Good"? Or are you just saying that Beijing is indeed acting completely without reason, as if in a deranged authoritarian vacuum? What doesn't anybody want to understand the nuances of the CCP's motives, no matter how much we might disagree with them?
Thanks, hope to get inspired by you and progress with practice.
What's odd is there isn't any outcry over stores doing that, and they don't even label promoted placement. At least Amazon labels product ads. That said, the opacity of Amazon's Choice is still concerning.
It can discard the last stack frame, as I said in my edited comment.
I don't know if this is too self promoting, but I'm part of the YC SUS 2019 program and I'm building a product that addresses the issue of messaging lock in, as well as data privacy.

I'm building Thread - an ad-free, private social network for groups. It's an alternative to Facebook (Messenger and WhatsApp), iMessage and GroupMe. It's the best way to connect with, share content to, and interact with the people in your life.

It's a limited release right now (still in alpha), but please sign up and check it out at https://thread-app.com/register. EDIT: it only is available on desktop web at the moment to US based users. Anything else will most likely give you an error.

E2E encryption is something we are considering building. Right now, the promise is no-ads, no front-end tracking, and no selling data to third parties.

Happy to chat more about it and answer any questions (maybe this isn't an appropriate place for that discussion).
Physicist advances a radical theory of gravity
After scrolling through the first five or so images I assumed you work in a twelfth century monestary... and then I got to the x-ray.
Also it's largely pointless. Unlike technology arguments, where you can easily convince me to try switching from Sublime to VSCode or to give Rust a try instead of C++, etc. political beliefs are much more entrenched. Each side has a very hard time understanding and empathizing with the viewpoint of the other side.
Hopefully no one bought a car hoping it will magically be “fully autonomous” in the future, given that no one knows whether it will even be possible with a research vehicle in 10 years
Under what moral code or axioms??

From what I can assume, your difference is on whether they’d harm others. I’ll assume your creed is libertarian, though there are multiple essays where respected libertarian philosophers have argued that libertarianism doesn’t allow you to give up your liberties (e.g. suicide and indentured servitude)

The fact that these people could be talked out of their suicides (and in fact that some wanted someone to talk to lest they hurt themselves) shows they clearly were having a temporary lapse in judgement. If we accept utilitarianism as the basis of libertarianism, living another day with a clearer state of mind increases utility.

What does being better have to do with it? Are you arguing against the idea that the best people always succeed? I don’t think I said that.
The rendering on that 42s is close enough that I can almost feel the buttons. Never thought I'd describe a calculator as sensual, but HP's of that era had such a distinct look and feel.

It's not just the industrialized nations. It takes about two generations for a country to drop from a high birth rate to a birth rate of less than two (replacement, more or less).

What is this thought experiment meant to say? If the people of Liverpool or San Francisco want freedom and make their own country, many in the west would support such a thing. After Trump got elected, the separationism meme was spread in California half-seriously.

The reason this thought experiment doesn't really work is that it disregards a crucial piece of information that the CCP is an authoritarian regime, while the people of Hong Kong are liberal and democratic. People generally prefer to move from the former to the latter, and not from the latter to the former.

I think history is useful, but it doesn't really change the fact that the people of Hong Kong do not want authoritarianism. It should be irrelevant what some king in the Qing dynasty or British empire did. As common folk ourselves, we should be giving more value to the will of the people, than the will of people who buy and sell countries and its people as if it was private property. So, no, Hong Kong does not "belong" to CCP just because at some point it "belonged" to Qing dynasty.

Talking about people as if they are property of kings and rulers is just slavery at the level of groups.
It's a good tradeoff in commuter purposes. It's not a good tradeoff for racing, which is where most tech is developed.

One big tradeoff you missed is efficiency. The belt drive is efficient, but internally geared hubs are currently less efficient than traditional derailleur setups. Losing watts to drivetrain loss is a major reason that internal hubs are not as popular with human powered bikes. The durability and maintenance need to be WAY better to get someone to switch over.
What is even more bananas than the mere existence of this attack is the statement of the bluetooth standardization group:
https://www.bluetooth.com/security/statement-key-negotiation...

Here's their plan to fix this:
"To remedy the vulnerability, the Bluetooth SIG has updated the Bluetooth Core Specification to recommend a minimum encryption key length of 7 octets for BR/EDR connections"

7 octets, aka... 56 bit.

So it looks like this vulnerability is here to stay. They just raise the bar from "trivially breakable" to "you need a bit of cloudcomputing effort to break a connection".
Obvious solution: never use wireless input devices.

Has the added benefit of never having to deal with charging batteries or charging.
