> I bought a Giro Atmos over a decade ago and never needed to upgrade...

I’m sure you’ve heard this but they say to replace a helmet every two-three years even if it hasn’t been in a crash.

It’s up to you whether you think that makes sense, but I’d sooner believe it than not.
no. I think the original first gen macbook pro keyboard was really good.

- The keys were shaped to match the curve of your finger

- the stroke distance was very nice

- escape key

I think it started going downhill with the flat keys. Your fingers could not feel the key edges, would therefore not center, and you would mistype.
Although Hong Kong government has not officially announced such measure, the potential usage of it was actually bought up by one of the highest ranking official in Hong Kong. You can argue that it was not an official statement made by the government but any statement made by an official of this rank would pose enough concern to the society to the effect of the actual measure he was suggesting to task.
Perhaps this is part of why people don't stay longer?

UK has nukes. PRC has nukes. Did PRC want a shooting war with another nuclear power?

> The only hope in hell for Britain would have been in Clinton. Given American optimism at the time, that would have been fruitless.

You are talking about the 1990s. If you read my original comment, I was talking about the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. If at the height of the Cold War, Communist China had attacked a British colony, how would America have responded?

This is a stupid meme that always gets posted.
I am addressing a specific claim she made in her paper, quote in full.

"Not surprisingly, it is extremely difficult to estimate the frequency of intersexuality, much less the frequency of each of the three additional sexes: it is not the sort of information one volunteers on a job application. The psychologist John Money of Johns Hopkins University, a specialist in the study of congenital sexual-organ defects, suggests intersexuals may constitute as many as 4 percent of births. As I point out to my students at Brown University, in a student body of about 6,000 that fraction, if correct, implies there may be as many as 240 intersexuals on campus - surely enough to form a minority caucus of some kind."

This section of the essay is not tongue in cheek. She clearly states she's teaching this idea.

This was John Money's response

"To the best of my knowledge there is no publication attributable to me in which I suggest, as Ms. Fausto-Sterling puts it, intersexuals may constitute as many as 4 percent of births. Moreover, it is epidemiologically reckless to conjecture that on the campus of Brown University there are 240 students with a birth defect of the sex organs that would justify their being diagnosed as intersexuals, that is, hermaphrodites"
No time right now to write more...but I have wondered what brands existed in say Roman era...Greek era...Persian era...etc...surely they did!
Yes, PT brought new aspects for Brazilian corruption: the size, the proportion. They fed private big companies with a lot of "opportunities" and dirty money (JBS is an example of a private corrupted company the grewn up with PT) .
Also, they abused of state companies like Petrobras. Their corruption reached other countries in South America, Europe and Africa.
PT gave steroids for Brazilian corruption.
with the end that actual defense/fighting was ultimately outsourced to foederati who naturally disposed of the last emperor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foederati#5th_century

"By the 5th century, lacking the wealth needed to pay and train a professional army, Western Roman military strength was almost entirely reliant on foederati units. [...] and the foederati would deliver the fatal blow to the dying nominal Western Roman Empire in 476, when their commander Odoacer deposed the usurper Western Emperor, Romulus Augustulus"
I suspect that shampoo/conditioner/etc are two of them. Many skin/beauty products also. A lot of what is advertised versus what isn't.
I believe all the current Giro helmets are MIPS now, even the cheap ones. In fact I was contemplating of getting one myself, not necessarily because of MIPS but if it's safer and also looks good, cool.

Can an "app with Malware" access my Google Authenticator credentials? Or read my screen while I am viewing them?
all data. ;-)
No, seriously, in the projects I have in mind that are usually several tens of thousands of images, texts and sound files etc. Mostly "cultural heritage" stuff for which we still have the originals (hundreds to thousands of years old). A typical database size, therefore, could be one or a few Terabyte.
But, I agree with Vint Cerf, that the problem is a general one, effecting all digital data produced. Of course, we do not have to save all of them – archives, libraries, museums… never did –, but for those we regard as valuable, we need a solution. And I don't see one – except, maybe, for a complete new, very well thought-out system of free and open hard- and software [designs], and maintained by an institution that would need to have some "eternal" status like national archives/libraries/museums. This would also be a chance to avoid all the pitfalls of the wildly-grown jungle we're in with all those security problems caused by complexity and solved (we believe) by even more complexity. Or caused by just simply stupid decisions – A20 gate anyone? ;-)
You’re not looking close enough. Most people signal status, even if subtle.

Talk about a book you read? Talk about how a certain restaurant is terrible? Talk about where you went on vacation? Talk about your job? Talk about music you like?

All those things signal status.
I referenced the original 1993 essay "The Five Sexes"

You have referenced the 2000 essay, "The Five Sexes, Revisited"

No on claimed it was a scientific investigation, I quoted the full text of the issue I was discussing in a previous comment.
Not using Windows, but I have some machines with similar specs and they are quite useful even for browsing many if not most websites. But, you must have NoScript and ad blocking.

So to be fair to Microsoft, at least some, if not all of the blame must go to web developers.

He’s the one who introduced these keyboards and praised them up and down, he’s probably going to take the fall for them as well.

That depends on what you mean by "similar vintage" of the Apple I. The Apple I was actually one of the more exciting computers when the Steves presented it at the Homebrew Computer Club in 1976. Remember it was competing with things like the Altair and IMSAI, not the graphical home computers of the 1980s like the Commodore 64.

My command Key had this after a couple of years on my MBP took it in to the apple store while I was getting my phone fixed, they just stuck in a new key. I believe they have a key board replacement program if your keys are sticking - something I'll probably avail myself of, I have a few keys that don't work sometimes.
My 15-year-old carbon fiber fork had a catastrophic failure two weeks ago. I’ve no idea what happened exactly but I came to in the emergency room a few hours later with road rash and a concussion. It took me almost two weeks for my brain to feel 100% again.

My helmet cracked where I hit my head. Who knows where I would have been without it.
Yep, my wife got exactly the same thing. Apparently those entries will appear in your calendar even if the email was sent to spam. You have to configure gmail to not automatically add the entries.
Literally all those things you mentioned happen in static environments. Note that I said we can’t image a brain in motion, all we have for that are computer models. Sure, they’re plausible, but we can’t even agree on what crashing forces applied to the cranium look like, let alone the resultant brain movement and pressures induced. You can’t CT a brain as the head is falling. Nobody has ever drilled holes in someone’s skull and mounted pressure transducers inside the skull to truly validate the pressures during impact. All the “validation” has happened in lower fidelity domains (particularly the time domain), this is a bit like claiming that you know calculus because you can do addition really good. Every mechanical engineering student will tell you that dynamics is a different beast than statics. Fancy computer images does not the truth make.

Note that I’m not saying that a MIPS or WaveCel helmet is worse than the previous generation, I’m just pointing out that the timing in which these features appeared on the market is suspect, which causes me to suspect the “science” behind it. It is most likely that these antirotation features don’t make the helmets worse but also not any better.
There has been, in recent days, major government insiders openly say they is a possibility for the government to declare emergency situation in which its power include block any communication channel.

> China threatened to invade in 1960 if the moves to democratise didn't stop.

And the UK gave in to PRC's threats. Was PRC really willing to start a war with the UK? Or were they bluffing, and the UK fell for PRC's bluff? Or maybe, the UK was never really that keen on HK democracy, and PRC's threats were just a convenient excuse to avoid doing something they weren't very keen on doing anyway?

> We'd just had the Korean War, Britain alone wouldn't have won a rerun, the West might

The Korean War is not exactly comparable. Neither North Korea nor South Korea were nuclear armed states (during the 1950s), although they both had nuclear powers as allies. A war between UK and PRC in the 1960s would have been a shooting war between two nuclear powers. Would the PRC really had been willing to risk such a thing? Especially given the state that PRC itself was in (millions of deaths in the Great Leap Forward, followed by the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, its isolation the Sino-Soviet split, an economy vastly weaker than it has today, etc.)
I had camscanner and at some time it started trying to upload my pdfs to the cloud. It seems it was bought by tencent around that time.

At first the app store privacy policy was a broken link. Later they got it to work, and it basically used broken english to say: we can collect anything.

uninstall and never looked back.

One tip:

The iOS native Notes app can scan documents into a .pdf file.

> If Communist China had attacked a British colony, how would America have responded

Probably with fascinated interest. America was pressuring the UK to decolonise, and had been since 41. HK was not as strategically significant as Berlin or Korea, besides Korea had both China and the USSR supporting the invasion.

I visualise something nearer Suez than Korea 2.
There are a gigantic number of people whose university or corporate IT department installs Linux for them on standard issue hardware which they use every day for their job. E.g. big companies whose programmers all develop on Linux machines, or most academics in programming-adjacent fields like statistics or machine learning.

Another category is people who installed it themselves because they like it better, but for non-ideological reasons. Like, a large chunk of programmers feel much more comfortable on Linux than Windows.

(I’m not sure what to make of your point about dual booting — it’s hard to believe anyone would “not care” about having to do a full reboot every time they wanted to do something as common as view an office document. Now “let me finish reading that interview candidate’s resume” goes from something I can alt-tab to while compiling into an ordeal of saving all my open work, rebooting, downloading and opening and reading it, rebooting again, reopening all my work...)
Yeah, I would love to see it. :(
> Seems like a move to prevent RISC-V from gaining a foothold in the server market.

On it's face, yes - absolutely. IBM had to do it now if it didn't want its lunch entirely eaten out from under it. That said, that's a good thing. I think we'll see both architectures working from opposite sides and moving into each other's markets. It's still very early days for RISC-V and OpenPOWER, so hopefully they'll be able to benefit each other. We've got excellent open friendly hardware for OpenPOWER (Raptor Computing System's Talos/Blackbird and soon, Condor lines) and we're getting there with RISC-V embedded systems and mobiles.

At least now on both the high and low end of the performance spectrum we have open alternatives for all needs. Here's to a more open, more diverse future where none of us has to scramble to be everywhere, all the time, all at once.

Still, they’ve found it. A lucky coincidence isn’t it.
in regard to iOS:

When tencent bought the iOS version, the "user contract" was grossly changed.

Given that Microsoft is a for-profit company, what's the financial justification for writing office for Linux on desktop? The market share isn't even a rounding error and you're talking about them investing tens of millions minimum into the development.

The fact they have office on Android, iOS, and osx proves it's about market share and common sense, not some fabricated hatred or fear of Linux on the desktop.
> I wonder what kind of such campaigns are going on today, changing our thoughts without us noticing.

Practically all advertising is designed to change your thoughts/behaviors. The delineation between real content and advertising is thinner than ever and the ads are more targeted than ever.

Looking at global warming we have large scale disinformation campaigns that include politicians, "news" outlets like fox news and astro turfing.

Astro turfing is becoming more and more frequent as the web becomes more centralized.

I agree with you. I have a bit of experience using SMOTE and one of the things that make me keep using it is its simplicity, and how versatile it is. Just like you, a couple of days ago I wrote a small prototype on how to balance an already synthetic dataset and was very, very satisfied with the results. I'll share it with you in case you are interested,

Not convenient excuse if you read the history of the region over the period. The timeline is pretty clear, especially now the relevant diplomatic papers of the period are open.

Err, there were 5x more Chinese troops in the Korean War than North Korean, and Soviets flying air cover. It would be directly comparable, if there were a Communist invasion, except I really doubt there'd have been support from the Western Allies without that invasion first. Even then I'm not sure - there were repeated concerns Korea could have escalated into WW3.
I live in Hong Kong and work for two international IT organizations and couldn't do it without full access to the Internet. The start of restrictions on what we can access, and possibly on what we do, would trigger an immediate "exit the territory" plan for myself and many others. If mainland China wishes to do irreparable damage to Hong Kong as retribution for bucking the system, this would do it.

While my personal experience in Hong Kong has just been mediocre (have lived in APAC for 13 years - China, Taiwan, Hong Kong), the open access to news, social media, etc... is part of the local culture. Hong Kongers seem to have a similar cynical / critical view of all media - they want to validate the spin by their experience and other data points - a characteristic that is often seen as "western." This contributes to westerners feeling comfortable with Hong Kongers. It would be sad to see HK lose this.

Of course, the wider Internet's concentration of critical network infrastructure in organizations like Cloudflare, Google, and others mean that even the "free" Internet is not fully free or truly egalitarian. The world needs infrastructure-level solutions to the overall troubling trend of great firewalls, malicious cert. authorities, bad actors, etc... that can be trusted by all and maybe even be a ray of light for Hong Kong's future.

I was going to say — nearly every recent event.
I've looked at MIPS and Wavecell helmets for bicycling. When I looked at the analysis and research, it seemed that MIPS makes more sense for snow sports, where your helmet can get stuck in snow and twist. On asphalt, or when colliding with a car, this is less likely. So I passed on getting a MIPS helmet for biking (though I should probably get one for snowboarding).

When I looked at the literature on Wavecell, it seemed to be of the "up to 40x better" variety. To a lay person like myself, that seemed suspicious because I have no idea what the common accident types are, and the literature didn't seem to indicate that it was more protective in the common scenarios. The article linked here does seem to make that case, but as others have noted it reads a bit like an advertisement.

I am actually planning on getting on getting one of these helmets simply because its shape fits my head very well, and in talking with cyclists I've been told that having a shape that fits your head (mine is apparently more "circular" than "oblong") is the most important thing.
I remember being 14.
Not to detract from how amazing WaveCel might be. Any safety material advancement is great news. But this is assumes we need new head protection to fit the old moulds, so to speak.

OTOH, there are or will soon be options to replace our foam brain buckets with high-tech collars/airbags that may (?) be less sweaty and may (?) provide more coverage in a crash (chin, back, sides, etc.)

One example: https://hovding.com/how-hovding-works/
I am reminded of this study [0] that claims that "Bicyclists who wear protective helmets are more likely to be struck by passing vehicles".

What's to be done?

Buy the helmet that reduces concussions by 98%?

Or don't buy a helmet at all, and trust that you won't get in an accident?

That's quite the conundrum.

The badness might be proportional to the energy being transferred through your head, which is simply proportional to the height you fell before stopping suddenly.

The square root in the velocity calculation goes away since

E_k = 1/2 MV^2

so the energy dispersed hitting the ground from a 10 inch fall is exactly 10x as bad as a 1 inch fall.

Of course the actual damage done by that energy transferred through your head will be some complex function due to bone breakage and cell tearing thresholds, etc. But as a first approximation of suck, I'd go with this simple linear model.
Oh haha, thanks for replying here! Funny enough, I didn't even receive a notification for this comment, although I think it's probably unrelated to the previous instances. In this particular case, I accidentally unsubscribed (speaking of which, it would be nice if the page asked for a confirmation before unsubscribing?), but after re-subscribing and verifying, I haven't received anything, so I suspect it's a glitch there. In previous instances (which come up every several weeks/few months), some notifications seem to go missing for a day or two -- if I get a chance I might report them from now on.

It'd be hard to miss the potential for that to be marketing-speak for "buy more helmets more often", especially given the context of the comment you replied to.
To form a binary, for one star to capture another, requires some careful planning. (A binary pair grabbing a passing star and exchanging momentum.) They don't just get close and start orbiting each other. If a star was captured by another, it wouldn't be a tight pair that may one day merge. They would be very far apart, so far that merger would take far longer than the age of the universe.
I've raced for about 6 years now and have not replaced my tri helmet, but have replaced the one I use when I'm on my road bike (only because it broke in a crash), where did you hear that you should replace the helmet that frequently?
At this point, its hard to point to one being the cause and the other being the effect.

It has also lead to companies doing the "we only hire mid to senior level because the entry level is too flaky" which also alleviates much of the need for mentoring new grads.

It also produces the interviews where people are asking about the passion for the particular domain that the company is in, in hopes that passion will keep them around longer.

That said, if someone is planning only staying for 6-12 months regardless of the company's current pay and mentoring practices, I would agree with the "job hopping came first" as an artifact of the dot com boom days when everyone was trying to one up everyone else.

Whether it's a bug or not depends on what the desired behavior is. People disagree on what the desired behavior, thus people disagree about whether they are bugs.

If your desired behavior is to obey the spec and run as quickly as possible then they are not bugs. The user hostility could be argued to be in the spec.
That's a bit presumptious, isn't it. Half my experience is on Greyhound, and a couple of years ago they started using a new bus fleet with more legroom, wifi, leather-ish seats, plugs at all seats.
