From the article: "Given that women have been the majority of the undergraduate student body in many countries for the last three decades, one can no longer argue that equality can be achieved by simply waiting for young female scholars to emerge at the end of the academic “pipeline."

Isn't having less men as undergrads and grads, sexism as well? This time against men?

If the principle being proposed by the author of the article, is that "not having equal outcomes is sexism", then one should expect the ones demanding that principle, to extend it to every situation, not only to the situations that suit their personal ideology.

It is a question of basic coherence, really.
Pachter has a tendency to libelous-seeming rhetoric but I can't imagine he wouldn't testify if subpoenaed, even over hearsay.
Same as always: improve skill-set to 1) live more cost-efficiently 2) provide more value at work. 1) definitely leads to better savings rate over time, 2) probably does.
I'd strongly reject the argument that "society considers all women valuable", but even so, it's irrelevant to the discussion. Whether it's sexism against men or sexism against women, the disparity is a problem for women who want to enter these professions or for men who want to enter "more personally fulfilling" professions. Regardless of the framing, it's certainly true that inequality can lead to bad outcomes for both men and women.
I personally make heavy use of classic App Engine tbh, the experience is pretty similar to Cloud Run but it's much more of a mature platform (if you can deal with the downsides).
Leaders of society are obligated to do everything in their power to ensure that the public is well informed using the best available evidence. Joe Rogan wants to enjoy the privileges of his influence in society (money, fame), but disregards the duty he has, which comes with his position (criticism, censorship).

Society is built on the idea that we can trust leaders and domain experts to provide guidance on topics. And when people like Rogan grant elevate those who espouse views we know to be wrong, we all suffer. Conspiracy theories aren't limited to inconsequential topics, such as moon landing hoaxes. People pushing anti-vax theories have directly caused in the deaths of innocent people.
Do you think it's a good idea to put some savings in gold?
Any thoughts on the larger model? Doesn't seem materially better than the last one. Maybe the fine tuning exercises will show the benefit?

That’s unlikely to be surprising. Would really love to know what the impact is in smokers versus an actual cigarette.

Electronic voting and vote counting machines pose one of the greatest threats to democracy.

We should really just go back to paper ballots, which are not perfect but are a lots less hackable at scale and are much more trackable than electronic machines are.

There's a lot to appreciate about Stallman, but as an ideologue, he's never going to prioritize a gentle & incremental articulation of his ideas. We could call it a failure to empathize, but you see ideologues all over undermining their communication by making it as distilled & radical as possible. But that's not what tends to convince other humans they're wrong about something.
What would these vendors do if the US Government made a law requiring the USG receive all US CA private keys, or some other encryption backdoor? Would they be able to put these kinds of changes in, or wouldn't that be circumventing the law?
Do you raise money for things? That’s a very different world, and anyone who does it should be aware that they’re engaged in a project of laundering wealth into reputations, and act accordingly.

It’s a sad reality, and we’d probably be better off it wasn’t reality, but high-profile academics need to be aware of it.
In cas that's not obvious I just want to add that the collateral allows you to only keep a fraction of what you're investing in actual collateral. The exact numbers depend on context, but imagine you buy/hold collateral and for that can loan/borrow five or ten or twenty times as much.
Not sure why this is downvoted but there's possible truth to this.

In addition, these bonds could in fact make you a lot of money in the short term if the interest rate for these bonds continue to get more negative.
The author also displays a stunningly ironic lack of intelligence here:

"Free speech and its consequences, particularly the deplatforming of right-wing political provocateurs, is a push-button subject for Rogan, and it’s where he gets himself into the most trouble. Especially when he talks about Twitter, a company that brings together Joe’s two biggest blind spots: his basic misunderstanding of the concept of censorship and his tendency to see the world through a thick cloud of Axe Body Spray. (No, Joe, Twitter banning white nationalists from its privately held publishing platform is not censorship—it might be a risky corporate policy, but it is not censorship.)"

The First Amendment and Censorship are related, but two distinct topics.

The author also seems to suffer from the common illness of believing he has the ability to read minds:

"Rogan’s most recent Netflix special is often funny because Joe Rogan is a professional stand-up comedian, but if you look past the jokes themselves and focus on the targets he’s choosing, the same patterns emerge. Hillary, the #MeToo movement, why it sucks that he can’t call things “gay,” vegan bullies, sexism. Of all the things in the world for a comedian to joke about right now, why these? “I say shit I don’t mean because it’s funny,” he says during the special, which is something all comedians say, and is sort of true but also sort of not. People reveal their deepest selves in the subjects they keep revisiting, and the hills they choose to die on. With Rogan, you can often see and hear the tension between what he knows he’s supposed to believe and what he really thinks. Joe Rogan may be all about love, but beneath the surface he’s seething."

He also seems to believe he Knows how people should Behave, and how to accurately measure aggregate harm in society:

"Joe likes Jack. He likes Milo Yiannopoulos. He likes Alex Jones. He wants you to know that he doesn’t agree with much of what they say, but he also wants you to know that off camera they’re the nicest guys. If we all have fatal flaws, this is Joe’s: his insistence on seeing value in people even when he shouldn’t, even when they’ve forfeited any right to it, even when the harm outweighs the good. It comes from a generous place, but it amounts to careless cruelty. He just won’t write people off, and then he compounds the sin by throwing them a lifeline at the moment when they least deserve it."

And then finally capping it off with this gem:

"My Joe Rogan experience ended because he wore me out. He never shuts up. He talks and talks and talks. He doesn’t seem to grasp that not every thought inside his brain needs to be said out loud. It doesn’t occur to him to consider whether his contributions have value. He just speaks his mind. He just whips it out and drops it on the table."

>"What isn't a tech company?"

It would seem that these days, Wall Street and private equity can agree that a "company that isn't growing" definitely isn't a tech company, even if it uses technology :)
Yes it seems bad that Joi had any involvement with him after these charges. Raising money is a powerful motivator, and that money is rarely clean. This is just more on the surface. The Media Lab was funded by Schlumberger when I was there, which is a big oil/gas company. Helping accelerate climate change is a horror to the world that might lead to the mass extinction of our species. Yet no one seems to resign over that.

But in terms of Marvin, we don’t know what his involvement was. Only an allegation in court. And from what I know about Marvin, I wouldn’t assume he would do research on someone like that before deciding to attend a dinner. More importantly, it’s completely inconceivable in my mind that he actually was involved any extra martial affairs, let alone a sex trafficked prostitute. He once told me “what’s the point of a body? We should all be heads on top of a cart.” He was already super old at that point. So to combine his higher plane of existence with the lack of hormones from an old age, it just seems extremely improbable to me.

I feel bad for all the woman involved with Epstein. He’s clearly done some really terrible things. But let’s not take down the character of others (who aren’t even alive to defend themselves) solely based on an accusation.
Fwiw, you can - just perhaps with not pure WASM and perf.

My next app I'm planning on using a Rust WASM DOM framework, and I know there are some in Go as well. This is primarily for developer UX.
Suppose you had half a billion dollars or whatever. You could get it in cash. You can't put that under a pillow. You'd need a really secure vault to guard this cash against theft and accidental destruction (fire, flood). In the best case, nothing happens to the money, so it retains its full numeric value, but that vault costs money to rent and operate, and those costs add up to negative yield. That effective negative yield of the vault could be more negative than the negative bond, making the bond more attractive. The negative bond could be more attractive even if it costs more than the vault, because of lower risk.
>Why is the implication that this is due primarily to sexism?

Well perhaps because of the persuasive evidence the article cites from peer-reviewed journals. For example, in the paragraph below from the article:

"In one experiment, reported by Corinne A. Moss-Racusin and her coauthors in PNAS, 127 US scientists were asked to hire an undergraduate lab assistant and decide on a salary based on fictional CVs of equally qualified men and women. The scientists were more likely to offer the position to men as well as more hours of mentorship, and gave a lower salary to women, about eighty-eight cents to the dollar."
First search and already wrong. I, as a Pole, don't need a visa for Malaysia. How do I know? I entered the country just a few months before without any problems.
Yep. The difference is in what they don't do anymore. Once upon a time they literally collected rumors and sold them, and took great pains to ensure that you couldn't see what information had been collected or sold about you or to whom. Those practices were curtailed by Congress; given that, it seems foolish to assert that current practices, hated as they are by the electorate, might not also be curtailed through legislative action.

There are dozens of answers here that explain why institutions buy sovereign debt, in general.

What those comments don't explain is why anyone would buy this particular sovereign debt.

So: why would anyone buy negative-interest-rate German bonds when U.S. Treasury bonds still have positive interest rates, and are available in much higher volumes?
The very foundation their ecosystem runs on is free and open source, and up for grabs for forking and modification. However, their proprietary app store is not, and neither is force-loading my own custom apps. In my point of view, this is where I see the contradiction.

Granted the worldwide open source community has had and has nearly zero interest in making a darwin distro with a minimalistic tiling window manager, or anything similar. Yet I see gnu/linux developers create dozens of linux distros and dozens of functionally identical window managers. So much for side-rant.
The most obvious way is that carcinogens affect parts of the body differently. Iodine collects in the thyroid, some compounds accumulate in the gut, alpha and beta affects the outer layers of the body.

Epigenetics can cause different parts of DNA to be more or less exposed in different parts of the body. There are also indirect effects from chemicals- some carcinogens can cause changes in proteins, or be bound to proteins, which can cause them to be around certain regions of DNA more.

Mostly though you see that kind of thing more in viral/bacterial cancers- a sizeable percentage of all tumors are caused this way.
> vaccine is still the most probable cause

Most probable cause? That’s a bit of hyperbole without extraordinary evidence.
Feels exactly the same to me. I'm coaching this robotics team like I'd manage a product group.

I'll try to approach this more sensitively to make it clear that the task is optional but that respectful conversation about it is expected.

Worth looking at what the response to Mozilla's DNS-over-HTTPS system in the UK has been. Disabling it by default is a good way to avoid conflict, but means that the feature effectively doesn't exist for the vast majority of users.

When I was hiring folks female candidates always asked for less money than male candidates. Even when counseling female friends about what they should ask for during their job search they still low-balled themselves.

Cloud Run is not for hosting websites (edit: in most cases, see reply below), it's for bespoke API commands with a bit more flexibility than Lambda/Cloud Functions due to greater environmental control.
The ECB’s rates are short-term; who’s to say that they won’t turn acutely negative for at least some proportion of the next three decades? These rates are “locked-in”, provided you hold the bond to maturity (and might have an upside later on).

Yup, definitely. An IPO is a liquidity event (money goes to owners) paid for by some group of individuals who believe they will make more money down the road by purchasing this stock.

The way that those individuals arrived at that decision can either be through really technical analysis, or "I heard about it from my dog", or anywhere in between.
One lesson to learn here for laymen, is that if isn't accessible, accept it as is. Do not listen to the government by installing such a certificate.

It also seems clear that e-cig manufacturers are hoping to hook young non-smokers to expand their market.

Why would said government not reach for the bounds or just not buy them back if they issued them?
Your "position" seems to be that my claim was incorrect. It's patently obvious that Rogan's guest list is primarily white males. Provide your own data if you feel otherwise. You seem to hold others to a higher standard than what you apply to yourself. You're right that you don't care to defend your opinion and this isn't a productive thread. Another user spoonfed the evidence to you and you are still trying to argue against reality while providing zero data.

Assuming that abiogenesis wouldn't happen very frequently (given the right set of conditions, a mean time to happen on the order of thousands to billions of years), a single life-forming event would have the same effect, no? After a foundation is set, the self-replicator starts exploiting existing energy gradients, making any other abiogenesis-event much less likely.

It's a 1920s (pre-FDIC) bank, or a 2008-style risky financial instrument, like an Auction-Rate Preferred.

WeWork's business model is "borrow short, lend long." That is, they accept very short term promises to pay (month to month leases from customers), and aggregate them to make very long term promises to pay (mutli year leases from suppliers). Keep the spread.

This works as long as there are lots of customers who will pay a premium for short term flexibility. We can presume that will be somewhat cyclical, although in fairness they also probably have caught a secular trend toward remote / coworking / flexibility.

When the cycle turns down, those short termers are done but the long term promises to suppliers keep going ...

That also leaves aside the question of leases with escalators. I have heard a rumor that some WeWork locations have substantial out-year escalator clauses (meaning the rates they owe to suppliers sharply increase in future), meaning that even if customers stay on board, WeWork will face a need to raise prices substantially to meet its obligations.

Why would a derivatives exchange not accept cash? what are people buying those derivatives with?

Furthermore, how could any bond (or anything at all for that matter) be less risky than cash? the market value of a bond may change over time but $1 will always be worth $1. Inflation may change the purchasing power of that dollar but then the exact same mechanism will effect the bonds as well.
First guess: Signs, maybe? You only need a few accurate surveyors and they could write coordinates in places. Use the cheap accuracy to get close then follow the signs.
