It's very easy to use and setup, just do

sshuttle -r username@12.34.56.789 0/0

That's it. All your TCP traffic is now going through your remote server. If you want DNS requests to go through as well, you can add the --dns option.

I’m not sure why you’d assume that the field people choose is not related to sexism, or why seniority is not related to sexism. Maybe they aren’t (I don’t know the data either way), but this specific article provides data that shows even when a field is dominated by women at the undergraduate level, it is still dominated by men at the tenured professor level, who make sexist decisions at various points in the pipeline.

Each of your controls could easily be explained by sexism.

Seniority: if men are given promotions when their work was the same quality as women who were passed over, that’s sexism.

Hours worked: if men are given full time employment, women part time, even when both want full time, that’s sexism.

Field and specific profession: if women are encouraged by the exact same mentors to choose different fields, despite having the same credentials as men, that’s sexism.

I’m not saying these factors are the result of sexism, but it’s a bit weird to assume it is, while having data in the original article that indicates all of the above, at least in academic professions, are significantly affected by sexism.
> Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting an underaged prostitute in 2008.

And the investigation stemmed from a mother bringing her daughter to the police station after she had been at Epstein's mansion. And the evidence included over 50 underaged girls, before the prosecution dropped it to two counts and then one count of assault... and NOT for lack of evidence. The girls' high school report cards were found in his house.

The man was a pedophile and a predator. The fact that anyone was willing to associate with him in any capacity after 2008 is just insane. In 2009 the flight logs were leaked and the smart people in that list cut contact. Anyone who continued to associate with Epstein after that did so in the fact of public castigation almost a decade ago.

Fuck, Trump was talking about him "liking girls on the younger side" in 2002- no sane person should have anything to do with Epstein any time recently.

Awards don't exist in a vacuum. The stories that make it to nomination and win are competing but no longer on the story but the adjacent political bent.

there were more interesting stories that did not win because they did not espouse the right politics or identity.

I have no interest in singling out stories that won I'm interested in why they won.

I'm glad you enjoyed what you read but to me the modern Hugo is the brand that intentionally devalues itself for the purpose of political manipulation in sledgehammer levels of subtlety.

I am less likely to buy a modern day Hugo winner than another book, because they've demonstrated that the values they use to decide who wins are too politically motivated and don't match my interest.
This assumes that there is some essential demographic difference that causes fewer women to end up in these professions. While this may be somewhat supportable in the few fields where muscle mass is relevant, the contention here is that disparity in fields like higher education or software engineering is in itself due to sexism. It's nice that the pay gap isn't that large for women who do manage to enter these fields, but that doesn't address any of the underlying structural causes that prevent women from entering these fields in the first place.
For me, the big thing is securing long chunks of thinking time. Thinking time is the most important time, hands down. When you think (away from a computer), you can't start on anything, so you have to go through it in your head. This makes me more creative because I don't end up spin-writing (writing code with no solid plan in place). You need at least half an hour to think, but an hour is better. I do all my design work like this, and by the time I'm at a computer my hands are just itching to write down what I've thought up. I used to do a lot of thinking during commutes, but now I work remote so it doesn't apply. But there are other ways to use time that would otherwise be lost. I'll sometimes do it during a run, or in the shower, or during some mundane chore.

You also need to set aside some down time, where you literally make a point of not doing anything useful for awhile.

I made a habit of optimizing my chores to give more opportunities to think. Sometimes the solution was to devise a better process. Sometimes it was batching many things together. Sometimes I'd need to invest in some gadgetry. Think of chores as unoptimized code.

For example, I bought a deep freeze and a vacuum sealer so that I could buy in bulk, and also prepare meals in bulk, then keep them in the deep freeze. Vacuum sealed (in a vacuum chamber based sealer), they last up to 2 years. I lived in a very rural location for a few years, so I got good at keeping track of what staples and foods to buy when. Frozen vegetables are usually fresher than "fresh" in the store. I also made my own bread in a bread maker. It's a lot of up-front setup, but once you're in the swing of it, it's basically max 2h per week of preparation for a whole lot of convenience. I'd also bake up a good selection of meals in bulk that I'd keep in the freezer and heat up in a sous vide cooker (for days when I was feeling lazy).

Eating right is essential. Poor diet ruins your thinking ability. Processed carbs are the worst.

I do my workout at home. That's not for everyone, because often you want the camaraderie. I prefer to be focused when doing a workout, so doing it at home works well. My workout is mostly body weight based. I used to box, so I stuck to the most efficient methods to maintain a boxing physique. My equipment is a chair, a floor mat, a walker, free weights from 1lb to 5lb, a pull up bar, a heavy bag, and good running shoes. Each day I do a 1h workout for a particular group (legs, core, arms, cardio, yoga, shadow boxing) which works out to once a week for each type.

I'm curious why you write what you wrote: at Fermilab, where some high school students took physics including from a Nobel laureate, I remember (as a high school student) that the problem with exceeding the speed of light, from the point of view of a reference frame, is that, if

e = mass * celeritas^2 / Sqrt( 1 - velocity^2/celeritas^2 )

describes relativistic mass and energy conversion, where i spelled out c as celeritas as the speed of light,
at least in the reference frame, something implausible is implied.

Looking at that equation, as an object's velocity approaches the speed of light, the denominator approaches zero, and the equivalent energy of the moving mass goes towards infinity.

That led to the quandary : can you really get something to go that fast?

There are a handful of cases of Guillain–Barré annually that coincide with the HPV vaccine administration. Flu vaccine is known to cause the same thing in rare cases, as well. But...

https://www.aan.com/PressRoom/Home/PressRelease/692

> “Our results show that Guillain-Barré is not occurring more often after HPV vaccination than it does in the general population.”

Side note: Even if the vaccination caused all 36 cases described in a two-year period, and even if that were elevated from the normal incidence in the unvaccinated population, HPV causes thousands of deaths annually from cervical cancer. Public health should be a matter of statistics, not anecdotes.
> Its future is uncertain, though. While failing to acquire beneficial mutations, CTVT is also failing to weed out harmful ones. That’s understandable, because much of its DNA comprises genes for building a dog. It can afford to let those mutate into obsolescence. But over time, the genes that it still needs will also take hits. Slowly, the tumor will become weaker and less efficient.

I wonder if there's an analogy to governments and laws. As our laws become more complex and "mutate," governments gradually become less effective.

Even in the wildest dreams of greens we don't displace oil with renewables today. A huge piece of the puzzle is that all the oil delivered to consumers is not equal. Oil produced in Canada, US , Norway, etc is done so under much tighter constraints than the middle east, Africa or parts of S.A., and the beneficiaries match a lot more with the general consensus of "right" than any of these locations.

example: Alberta sits with land-locked oil while eastern Canada imports massive quantities from the middle east because "oil is dirty" when you can see how the sausage is made.

I feel like I still don't understand negative yields, despite really trying to.

Negative yields means that I put in $X (or euro/whatever germany is using) and I later am guarenteed no more than $Y out of the exchange, where Y < X. I am literally guaranteed to lose money. I could just hold on to my money, "keep it under my mattress" and still make a better ROI than bonds with negative yields. Why would anybody buy these bonds?
That was my impression too. Just looking through recent interviewees (https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/list-of-people-interview...), I'm not sure that it's a valid one. Most of the interviews seem non-political, with comedians seeming to feature most commonly.

Maybe the sense of bias is driven more by what Youtube prefers to promote, or that right-wing interviewees generate more controversy and interest. In turn, that may incentivise right-wing characters to feature on the show or associate with Joe Rogen.

I live in california. Every weekday here we have millions of people that make their commute to work. I would say 95% of this transport is using fossil fuels. Most of these same people are probably against pipelines as well but the reality is if you get rid of pipelines and create fossil fuel shortages or prices to skyrocket then you will see an uprising. Thats the reality.

I remember when CVE-2009-1897 was current, because it is an obvious example where no one would expect the null check to work:

struct sock *sk = tun->sk;
unsigned int mask = 0;
if (!tun)

Obviously "sk" is not used until after the null check, but if we read it line by line as we would expect a naive compiler with no optimization to act, the pointer is followed before the null check, and null should produce a crashing program. It would seem that anyone expecting it to work would assume the evaluation of the initial assignment of sk to be lazy at first use, which is a very strange assumption.

Still, I remember in 2009 people writing about that snippet as if it is a surprising result and the compiler did something wrong.

I believe there are logical inference errors in the paper. I'll mention one example:

"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.” "

The author should familiarize themselves with Simpson's paradox*. This maps almost directly onto the classic UC Berkley case in the Wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox
We're also missing: What percentage of women are accepted for a open professor position? It doesn't make sense to look at the number of male vs. female professors currently employed. These are positions where people stay for decades, and we've only truly been focused on the issue for the past 10 to 15 years.

Hidden deep in some statistics from the Danish ministry of education the numbers show that women are now more likely (edit: I was wrong about this part, it is just as likely, not more) to get hired as professors that men. It will take years to hit 50% male and 50% female professors, but the alternative is to fire existing professors, solely become they're men, or create new jobs, marked for women only, even if you technically don't need more professors.

Edit:
For those who can read it: https://ufm.dk/publikationer/2019/filer/maend-og-kvinder-pa-...

The main point is that a woman is just as likely to be hired for an open position as man is. The interesting part is that women only make up 30% of the qualified applicants. So a women applying for a university job has a better chance of getting hired, compared to her male rivals. Page 73.
> There is a lot of specific data presented in the article, such as that women have higher writing standards, in the form of more revisions to publication.

The data comes from this paper: http://www.erinhengel.com/research/publishing_female.pdf

That paper assumes that "higher writing standards" means "simple vocabulary and short sentences".

So you might get a bad score for

> There is a lot of specific data presented in the article, such as that women have higher writing standards, in the form of more revisions to publication.

And a better score for

> The article refers to examples like women writing better, and rewriting their work more.

Whether "simple words" really means better writing for academic journals is not clearcut to me.

Overall, the readability calculator here: http://www.readabilityformulas.com/free-readability-formula-... scored your comment "difficult to read", which the paper would have said meant bad writing, and the OP article would have called a man's "poorly written mush".

I'm not saying this to insult you, but to point out that the article's definition of good writing may not be something you agree with.
> Some $2.5 billion worth of subprime loans, those with FICO credit scores below 690, ended up in mortgage bonds in the first quarter of 2019. That is more than double a year earlier and the highest level since the end of 2007, according to Inside Mortgage Finance. There was $1.9 billion worth of subprime mortgage bonds in the second quarter.

Statements like this are hard to evaluate without knowing the denominator: the total value of new mortgage bonds in each period.

All too often, an author who should know better throws the reader a scrap like the following sentence:

> The market for unconventional home loans is still tiny compared with the rest of the mortgage market as well as its precrisis past, when unconventional borrowing peaked at more than $1 trillion.

But this still doesn't convey what percentage of the loans are to sub-690 FICO borrowers.

I see this all the time and wonder to what extent it has contributed to mistrust of the traditional media.

If we find out that the percentage in 2019 is 1% but in 2007 it was 56%, that casts the entire story in a different light.
Those of you (US) with large stock/cash positions: what are you doing to weather the (inevitable) storm? Feels like we’re in the doom and gloom media phase.

Well, whether or not IQ correlates to intelligence, we do know that males tend to have greater variance in IQ while females tend to be more clustered around the mean - while also having a higher mean IQ.

If IQ correlates to academic success (which I believe studies have shown it does) then this would lead one to reasonably conclude there should be more female undergraduates and graduate students, and an equal number (or possibly slightly more) male assistant professors; we'd also expect a greater proportion of full professors who are male. This is in fact what is observed.

I'm not a biological determinist, and it's certainly possible the IQ test itself is sexist/ not unbiased, but this is one possible explanation where we can observe what we do without the presence of sexism.

It's also certainly possible there IS sexism preventing women from becoming professsors, I'd just need to see more compelling evidence than what's presented here.

The problem is that visa policy is so complex, unless you rely on an authoritative source like TIMATIC it's not going to be right, and that's going to cause people to not book trips they would have -- or worse, book, expecting to go, and have to cancel.

* There's TWOV (transit without visa)

* Transit Visa On Arrival where if you're connecting to a third country within 24-144 hours depending which city you're visiting you can get a transit visa when you get there that entitles you to visit just the city in which you landed but not leave. [1]

* Hainan has a 30-day visa waiver program if you apply through a travel agency. [2]

* Hainan has a 30-day visa on arrival program. [2]

* Hong Kong and Macau are 90 days visa on arrival.
