Indeed. The "largely" in the article's headline is a blatant lie. It cannot largely explain, it probably just largely correlates, considering the samples at hand. One could write tens of similarly attention-catching articles with other variables "explaining" the issue. The article's conclusion contains a call to action: "Stop telling people to do what they are good at and instead tell them to do what pays!" Now, there is actually evidence that women in countries where there are strong socio-economic incentives to study STEM (Iran, India) are more likely to do so than women in western countries. Not that this explains the whole picture, either, but it's certainly interesting.
Pretty much everything what you're facing is distro specific.

The battery life is solved on Ubuntu by TLP which is installed by default (at least it was on Ubuntu Mate)

Ubuntu is now shipping with free and proprietary Nvidia drivers and you can choose during the installation which ones you want to use.

Gnome hot corners are disabled by default on Ubuntu. Of course if you prefer vanilla Gnome experience you can always use it, it's just a matter of selecting item from dropdown on login screen.

As for the light sensors and modem, I'm not sure but I imagine that it's not a big deal under Ubuntu or Pop!_OS. For me Fedora was always ALMOST there. Most of the times it was working but there was many little tweaks that had to be done in order to make everything working. On Ubuntu even things like fingerprint reader login was dead easy to setup (Thinkpad X230).
> it's hard to actually answer questions in the first place

Only if it's a hard question, and answered correctly.

There is negative value in, say, closing a question as a dupe, that is not a dupe.
The Austrian national rail company has bought up the sleeper trains from other companies and is trying to establish some international routes (under the Nightjet brand). They recently mentioned going to e.g. Copenhagen, but not without some subsidies from the government: the train set alone costs 15-25 million EUR and you can only use it once per day. Denmark doesn't want to run the night trains again, so it'd be interesting if someone else could establish the routes.

Vienna-Milano for 2 in a cabin with no one else is 190 EUR each way or 240 if you want an en-suite toilet/shower and takes 19 hours. Or you could fly (1 hour 20 minutes) for 50 EUR return per person.

So for the 380 EUR you save, you can go the evening before and spend an extra night in a 5-star hotel room in Milano, even accounting for transportation from the airport.

you don't use the similarity score to extract analogies from word2vec, it's offset vectors, linear relations the infamous "king"-"man"+"woman"=~"queen" (with reasonably low perplexity)

extracting the analogies is not that hard (a naive brute force is looping over combinations of 4 words and testing how close the relationship holds), but more importantly, one doesn't need to extract the analogies, the neural networks utilize these analogies implicit in their embedding.

I have never seen the boredom of neural networks investigated, the closest concept that comes to my mind is surprisal, which is widely understood since Shannon & information theory...

Firefox Developer Edition is not the same as nightly from what I understand.

Setting gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque to true makes firefox unusable as alerts aren't readable (might be theme dependent).

The only setting that you need to get FF to work on macos with a retina screen is the 'low resolution' mode trick. But then all text, etc isn't as smooth.

I am now running some tests with the new nightly, so far it seems like it fixes the issues and I am very excited about this!

Im wondering though, this isnt totally free, is it ?

I'm not sure that's correct. My understanding is that for a given voltage the transmission losses are basically the same (actually possibly slightly better for DC since they don't suffer from the skin effect). The problem comes when you try to get the same power down a low voltage DC circuit which naturally requires high currents.

You can do a bunch of things around under-volting, governor changes, powertop tuning, profile settings, tlp, etc. to improve battery on arch. Helped me, at least.

> disable the NVidia card

You shouldn't need a driver to disable it. I switched to arch specifically because gpu switching on manjaro was a nightmare; the arch wiki did it for me: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_15_9570#NVIDIA...

It's for a different machine, but it should still provide a decent starting point.

> modem not work

Drivers, probably? Not many laptops have them.

> light sensor

Try this to check: `find /proc /sys | grep -ie brightness -e light -e lux -e lumin`. If that doesn't work, `sudo modprobe -a tsl2550 isl29003 isl29020 apds9802als apds990x bh1770glc bh1780gli` and run the find command again, or try `sensors-detect`/`i2cdetect`. Never configured personally, but these two packages look promising:

> How to disable the "Hot Corner" in Gnome

Not what you want to hear, but... don't use gnome. It's not built for tweaking as much as other things are. Something like KDE is orders of magnitude more tweakable, or something simpler like budgie might fit your use case. Personally I like i3-gaps, but that's definitely more advanced.

Any way, if you want to disable it, you actually have to install an extension to do it. More info here: https://michigantechit.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/KB/ArticleDe...

As you said, documentation is awesome. Arch wiki is great.
More importantly is it even relevant to? No evidence points in thus direction.
Yeah. The widespread belief that memory is reliable - a false belief that this article propogates - is probably a lot more problematic than any of the research being discussed. It's not uncommon to see people presented with facts suggesting that their memories are false, and respond by dismissing the facts ("That can't be true, I remember it, I was there").
I have absolutely no idea what this is, supposed to do, and what the demo shows.

There are many bugreports known to Mozilla already. Here's mine:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1407536
The comments about using macOS instead of Linux or {Free,Open}BSD are getting downvoted in somewhat obscure reasons.

It's not that Linux isn't usable with minimal tweaking, I'm pretty sure macOS users also do a fair amount of tweaking (with, e.g. mapping keys with Karabiner (swapping Control & Caps Lock doesn't need third-party apps BTW), making the TouchBar useful again with HapticKey, etc...).

The problem is that Linux doesn't get fundamental things (in a user-perspective) right.
It's a few months ago, so I'm not sure if the bug still remains, but the latest version of Ubuntu still has HiDPI problems (at least in VMware Fusion - and VMs are pretty standard to test OSes, right?) related to mouse pointer size, sleep doesn't work without configuring with systemd for a few hours about one-third of all of my Linux laptops, WPA2 Enterprise Wi-Fi connecting is an hassle, configuring input-systems for CJK languages require making a systemd service manually(!), installing packages are needed to use exFAT USB (I've heard that the Linux Kernel has now gained exFAT support by Microsoft, but it's still months later for the user), adding apt repository hangs when done with aptitude so the user has to touch /etc/, and the list goes on...

Are these issues really 'configurable' issues? They aren't, but everyone kinda says, 'Fiddle with {systemd and you will get manageable {battery life,Wi-Fi connection,HiDPI support, etc...}'
And that's the reason why people just use macOS instead.
Most of education is built around misandry.

It’s a female dominated profession where women have been succeeding at rates higher than men for a generation, yet all the funding and attention is directed towards helping women further that advantage — by those same women in the profession, who frequently tell denigrating or emotionally manipulative lies about men.

If you want to know what actual institutional sexism looks like in the West, it’s the misandry in education.
> We must make do mostly with building up and densifying the urban areas we already have. As transportation goes, so go our cities.

If we make transportation better, our cities can be less dense. So can't we make transportation better?

What causes congestion? Car traffic. Why does car traffic cause congestion? It's an inefficient use of roads. What are some alternatives?

1) Build more roads. Sure, except it's expensive, time consuming, and you quickly run out of land, and would have to build them one on top of another.

2) Fit more people into existing roads. How? Buses, trolleys, trains, subways, vans. Build out the mass transit to the suburban enclaves.

But all this supposes an urban center is also the only answer. What do people need to congregate in one place for? Usually to work in one place. But why work in one place?

Due to division of labor, most of us don't do things with multiple completely different people on multiple completely different subjects; we're just not that collaborative. But you may need to transport your work to another group in a company. At a bank, all this is paper; in a car manufacturing plant, this is car parts. The former is done digitally now, and the latter could be done, again, by increased transportation efficiency.

All the other things we use are already decentralized outside the city; schools, churches, supermarkets, health care, water, power, recreation. It's really just business, and the ability to work decentralized, that constricts where and how we live. Transportation will make it easier to decentralize. And we can start by giving up our cars.

The other aspect of work decentralization I've already seen at a rental car facility. A computerized kiosk displayed a remote worker on screen, who processed my driver's license, credit card and rental information and directed me to my rental car. It was surprisingly trouble-free and pleasant, and only one of us needed to be there.

As far as I know, everything that is sent into space is the responsibility of the nation that launched it and governed by its laws. So if two satellites were owned by organizations from the same country, that country's legal system would have to deal with the damages. I am not sure if the space treaties actually cover the case where multiple nations are involved. I wouldn't bet on it.
Am I the only one that finds that using that theory to justify not adding capacity is utterly idiotic?

If you add capacity and it ends up being all used up, it just means you didn't add enough and should add even more if possible!

Kind of like saying that in a famine it's useless to provide more food because it's going to be eaten all up anyway since some people are no longer dying of famine...

It's not too hard, if you know what you're doing. It's trite, but read the stinkin' wiki; it's very good. Some people are intimidated by the cli; it's a matter of personal preference, but it's marginally faster if you know what you're doing. It's not really hard to fix (compared to other distros), and I've had a stable system which I don't touch much for quite a while. It took a while to configure (back up your dotfiles!), but these days I just leave it alone. You can tinker, but you can also just use your system. I think arch gets the "constantly-needs-tinkering" reputation because many of its users like tinkering, not because your system dies every time you `pacman -Syu`.

As pointed out by others, pacman is that good. Much faster than others, better dependency resolution, and AUR. From a productivity stand-point, AUR allows me to avoid the significant tedium of cloning, fiddling with, and cajoling a git package to build.

For the X1 Extreme, you may want to look at Pop!_OS. For the initial install you'll need to force enable the dGPU, but after that, you can switch back to hybrid. I realize it's not quite Ubuntu, but it is Ubuntu-based, so that might be good enough for you. I have no particular insight into the battery life though, I'm afraid. However, most of my battery life seems to go to the antimalware scanner, so Linux could be better by virtue of not running that.

>Who subscribes to porn bots? I would have thought only other porn bots follow porn bots?

Clearly if they exist they must have some marginal use. It's like saying "who falls for nigerian prince scams?" or "who is influenced by ads?". Clearly some people are, otherwise they wouldn't be quite as popular. I'm sure some real people follow porn bots in order to... see porn.

As for the influence I think in isolation it's probably negligible, but if people get flooded by propaganda on social networks it may be quite efficient. "Everybody says it, it can't be completely wrong". The echo-chamber nature of many social networks probably plays into that too. Many people would probably be more likely to follow an obvious bot spamming propaganda that aligns with their beliefs than a real person holding a different opinion. For instance an obviously biased propaganda outlet like Prager U has 2 million followers on Youtube, I doubt all of those are bots.
Why should they? Chinese money is just too juicy to give up... until they realize what kind of influence CCP have on their country, it will be too late by then anyway.
Great idea, poor execution. It's going to be suspicious that these accounts suddenly go from NSFW posts to pro-china posts.

The world's wealthy sock away a larger percentage of their wealth than the poor. Virtually every penny the poor obtain winds up back in the economy, and because of the economic multiplier effect, those pennies have a greater impact as they wind their way through the system.

https://ips-dc.org/wall_street_bonuses_and_the_minimum_wage/

> All those dollars low-wage workers spend create an economic ripple effect. Every extra dollar going into the pockets of low-wage workers, standard economic multiplier models tell us, adds about $1.21 to the national economy. Every extra dollar going into the pockets of a high-income American, by contrast, only adds about 39 cents to the GDP.
If you look at the tweet history and not just the numbers. What percentage of people that see the tweets will do that?
Google, perhaps? I've been obsessing about (creating) a federated information store recently, and this was one of my points to address.

In my view bad actors don't have to just misinform, but make it more difficult to locate. Doing that seems shockingly easy, as much of our ability to locate data online is limited to brittle keywords.

Not to deviate, but in case anyone is curious: One of my attempts at mitigating this problem is via content hashes. Building a UX where the content hashes are often the point of reference and indexed by search engines might allow us to locate data and related data based on content hashes, rather than easily flooded semantic keys. Metadata pertaining to the hashes would also have to be provided for them to be useful, eg "related:04136e24". Lots of to discuss, but I'm trying to limit my off-topic, despite it being related to [dis|mis]information.

edit: I don't understand the downvote - can someone explain? Not sure exactly if something I said is factually incorrect? To be clear I wasn't saying Google was the thing running the bots, but that Google / search engines might be the point.

So this triggered me to log into my pension fund website. Which I almost never do.

My fund's 2018 report says the allocation is as follows:

- 37,4% stock

- 50,4% fixed (bonds)

- 10% real estate

- etc.. (derivatives, cash)

The past 2 years the news has also been dominated by the law that governs pension funds in my country. Ever since the ECB cut rates pensions have been cut or been close to it. So it seems we don't allow funds to go riskier, as the article describes. In stead the law forces funds to take their losses now, and not postpone them to a next generation.

And during the '08 crisis I remember a talk from a fund manager that said crises don't matter that much for funds. Since they are all focused on the long term the stock will recover anyway and the best thing to do in a crisis is to buy more stock. What funds automatically do since people can't stop contributing.

So the key point in the article seems to be this:

>"There is one other key reason that public pension funds have transitioned into riskier assets. States have passed laws exempting state government pension plans from the standards that private pension plans are held to. These public pension plans are permitted to use generous assumptions about risk that are not permitted in the private sector. So, while public pensions have moved into objectively riskier assets, they haven’t been forced to account for that risk."

So it seems a lack of regulation is the big problem, not economic downturn every now and then.
