The thing is, it works 98% of the time, the scrappy upstart gets laughed out of business.

There is a sort of survivors bias in focusing in the 2% and assuming that's the norm. Corporations act this way because it generally works.

Like the OP said though, it does lead to arrogance over time, and that's when a fall happens.
Judging people by nothing other than skin color is abhorrent reasoning, and an example of the racist and discriminatory perspective that you claim is causing oppression.
I'm surprised at how long it seems to have lasted, this idea that your workplace is a giant encounter group. Is there evidence that this is a good idea or bad idea? Is there evidence that leaving your sports interests, movie interests, politics, and family problems at home is good or bad?

As a non-American I don't see this. The American police kills roughly as many whites per day as the Norwegian police have killed during their entire existence (it is 1 if you wonder). Making this about race only hides the elephant in the room: the American police is extremely brutal. It shouldn't be this way in a western nation, the police doesn't kill that many except for third world countries and USA. Even if we eliminated the racism and thus halved the number of blacks killed by the police it would still be a horrible amount of blacks killed!

Project Veritas is credible now?
when you have a widely disseminated open invitation to particular social-issue oriented things, the lack of involvement or attendance is visible and the door is open for people to wonder about it.

if you combine a situation of "i feel this group is suffering and we need to pursue remedies asap" with "this person appears disinterested [from lack of attendance] in discussing the issues facing said group" you can get to places of suspicion and worse. that is, if you feel a group is suffering and it appears someone just doesn't [seem to] care, it's natural to wonder if they're not exactly on the nominally-friendly side of the issue.

this isn't weird or unusual, just ordinary social dynamics.

In this case the accused person sued the insurer who reported them to police and apparently won a settlement (that curiously did not forbid him from disparaging the insurer post-litigation).

The hypothetical you gave would be more on point if instead of deliberately withholding key information, the 911-caller made a truthful allegation for an ulterior motive. So more like, 'there are suspicious cars idling outside the firing range and people walking around with guns. Someone swung the muzzle in my direction for a moment and made me feel unsafe.'

As for the insurer paying the salary of the officer who investigates-- yeah, poor optics there but the extension of the hypothetical scenario would be that the police deprioritized gun crimes without funding and won't show up and investigate otherwise.

So the real newsworthy issue here, which the article missed, is why police departments in Pennsylvania don't investigate insurance fraud felonies unless someone in the private sector is willing to cover their expenses.
> they all have their own convincing reasons.

It's dangerous (and quite condescending) to assume that people are ignoring your plight out of ignorance or malice. Don't ask "why aren't they listening to me?" Ask instead "how am I making my point relatable and appealing to them?"

If you're pissing off the very people you're trying to win over to your side, then you have little reason to be surprised when they turn against you.

That's not how it works. These kids didn't create the stigma for the green bubble. Popular culture did, big-money TV, movie and music productions did, and teens are the most susceptible.

Veritas doesn't just try to do stings, it actively misleadingly presents the evidence it gathers in them to push a pre-conceived political narrative.

And before you pull out “but other people do that” argument again, yes, Veritas isn't alone in being a dishonest propaganda outfit, but other self-styled journalists, even those with established journalistic records, who are caught doing even much lesser versions of that get called out and drummed out of any even slightly reputable outlet in the industry in disgrace when that happens. That it's Veritas’ whole raison-d’être shows that Veritas Isn't a journalistic outfit, but simply a propaganda operation.

It is not that simple. Within the control group of non-smokers you need people who smoked yesterday or 12 hours before to determine if the testing is successful.

But even that is too simplist. You need to activity give a specific dose to a group with similiar profiles. You need to test with different profile groups.

In the UK you'll find a (relatively!) large number of countertenors, at least within the anglican church music tradition (I said relatively).

I guess the context is pretty important. Snow Crash is something of a deconstruction of the cyberpunk of the eighties, taking some of the genre’s tropes to their logical conclusion and subverting or inverting many others. It was one of the first influential works of the new wave of science fiction that came to be called post-cyberpunk (a genre notoriously hard to define beyond the obvious ”after cyberpunk”). The clear shift in narrative style after the prologue functions as a boundary of sorts, informing the reader that they are not in Kansas anymore. (Stephenson does this again, even more explicitly, in The Diamond Age!)
I'm sorry, but this is just not true. People are innocent until proven guilty. If there is no evidence, then they aren't convicted (EDIT: for the record, testimony is evidence). Adding an avenue to collect more evidence is going to cause more people to be convicted. Sure, you will probably get some people exonerated, but there is no question that you will get a larger number of people convicted. I am not going to weigh in on the ethics of that, but you should at least be honest about the repercussions of your work.
Thanks!

(Boy, do I feel dumb now. Way to go to completely miss the context.)

5 bedroom house is an exaggeration. People just want a reasonable (say, 3 bedroom for older folks, 2 bedroom for folks 3 years out of college) house near work, which they can’t afford.

That doesn’t make the fact that ordinary workers have to travel multiple hours each way to afford housing any better. It is just a canary in the coal mine that even very highly paid workers struggle to afford housing in the area.
Excellent point. I'm not sure how "fixed" the correlation is for alcohol though. Someone who almost never drinks will be quite impaired at 1‰ BAC, whereas someone who drinks several times a week might not be affected that much. Of course this variation is comparatively small. When it comes to THC, individual resistance really differs by orders of magnitude. Seems the body can adapt to psychoactive agents more easily than to cytotoxins such as alcohol.

That's an article specifically about differences. It's even in the title. Women are being used as a contrast. They are not omitted from the majority of the discussion. That omission comes with the implication that a set of problems is exclusive to one group, instead of those issues being shared between both (with different degrees of severity).

>Anxiety problems can look different in men. When people think of anxiety, they may picture the excessive worry and avoidance of frightening situations that often plague those who suffer. These afflict men, too. But there’s a growing recognition among psychologists that men are more likely to complain of headaches, difficulty sleeping and muscle aches and pains. They are more likely to use alcohol and drugs to cope with anxiety, so what looks like a drinking problem may actually be an underlying anxiety disorder. And anxiety in men often manifests as anger and irritability.

This paragraph is also about women, even if they are not explicitly labeled.

>They (men) are more likely to use alcohol and drugs to cope with anxiety

Also means

>(Women) are less likely to use alcohol and drugs to cope with anxiety

You can use this for the rest of the article in order to determine how the author views anxiety in both genders. It's not an exclusionary discussion or analysis. You should be able to understand this from the title alone.

You picked a pretty bad example. Maybe you can find something better if you dig a bit deeper. I'm not entirely sure you wouldn't find something further back in my comment history :)

The problem here is that you only have a limited amount of attention from people to spend on trying to improve climate change. If you misspend it, even when your proposed solution helps, you won't deal with the problem.

Imagine you're in a desert with a jug of water. You know the direction you have to go in to get to a city and be saved. You can choose to walk or crawl. If you pick the option to crawl then you're moving in the right direction, but you'll die of thirst before you get there, because you have a limited amount of water. People's attention and will are like that jug of water. You need to make the best of it. Electric cars are great, but people need to understand that that isn't all that needs to be done.

Not sure if you are being downvoted but very much this. In my time at Google there has been very politically motivated engineering decisions (google scale code renaming to remove words like master-slave etc). While I totally agree that those should have been taken, but if a company is spending resources (which translates to money) to undertake projects that are inconsequential compared to other things (like being aware of the actual issues these communities face, as the memo points out) then it's fair to call out the company's blind spots.
Sorry, wasn't commenting on the merits of parenting, authoritative styles, etc. Just trying to match OP's children's definition of "oppression" ..

* having expectations involuntarily set on your performing of activities that you would not voluntarily perform otherwise;

* punishment for failing to meet those expectations, rather than a reward for meeting those expectations

With the contradictory idea of the person setting the expectations and punishments being "objective" in a discussion.

Certainly if the request from the children is "we don't want to clean our rooms", the only truly objective response is to either:

a) incentivize them to clean their rooms with negotiated rewards and benefits, in a true market sense
b) convince them through logic and rhetoric to voluntarily choose to clean their rooms;
c) agree that they don't have to clean their rooms.
I recently finished the Book of Joy (great read), an interview by Douglas Abrams of Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama, which ends with an appendix full of different types of meditation and mindfulness practices.

I am intrigued to practice the Dalai Lama's usual practice of analytical meditation (listed in parent's linked paper alongside Vipassana), but it's certainly an advanced practice. Most resources I can find recommend a daily practice of Shamatha for some months before undertaking analytical meditation.

I found this poetic description of the thought process one might go through during analytical meditation: https://www.lotsawahouse.org/tibetan-masters/mipham/wheel-of...

> diverge (as in reaches some exceptional state)

The term "diverge," when applied to an exception, is not a computational term but a term from a specific formalism (e.g.: Haskell). A computation is a sequence of states; if it ever reaches a terminal state (i.e., a state from which it cannot exit), it is said to terminate. You can apply the terms converge/diverge to termination/non-termination, but once you speak of exceptions, you're using a language-specific terminology.

> if you could prove that both functions always return some value then you can also say that composing them will always return some value

Yes, but that would be too hard. `foo` doesn't always return a value, but `foo bar` does. What can you prove about `foo` and `bar` separately that would make proving that easier, not harder?
That programmers are becoming more interested in maths and the mathematics of program construction can only be a good thing. As someone clearly interested in maths, I am surprised you seek to attack them as "cults". I just see enthusiasm, no different to how folks have enthused about object-oriented programming for decades.

As Brian Goetz (Java Chief Architect) has said, Java will never become Haskell, but it will continue to take ideas from it. So even Oracle is drumming up interest in functional programming. About time I say, industry has been neglecting ideas from functional programming for too long.

I see a lot of tech workers demonized for gentrifying neighborhoods in NYC, Chicago, Bay Area and Seattle, among other places. In my personal experience though, those people are buying the places they can afford as close to their work as possible. It's not that they're choose to displace people, it's that they're doing the best they can. They can't stay where they're from because there aren't actually good jobs for them there.

There is nothing careful about the phrase “red meat and dairy.”

These are two very different things, and within each group there are many variations.

What even is “red meat?” Does it include pork? Or only goats, sheep, and cows because they are all ruminants. Is chicken really so much better? How is meat different from fish? Does red meat just mean beef muscle meat? What about organ meat? I could write 1,000 words trying to even define this term.

Dairy can come from many different kinds of animals, can be fermented, aged, and processed to remove some or all fats. Lactose tolerance has a huge genetic component, arose much later in human evolution, and can vary with a human being’s age. Whole books have been written on this topic.

The whole thing, if you are scientifically and medically rigorous, descends into endless details and speculative biological mechanisms, ambitiously scoped epidemiology and tiny little short term controlled trials.

What your comment does is try to simplify the discussion so what is healthy aligns with what seems to be environmentally advantageous. It does thus by cherry picking data, glossing over basic details such as even defining terms, and boiling all that down to an often repeated heuristic that just doesn’t hold up to any serious scrutiny.
