Thanks, that's pretty much how I would express myself in English. In Swedish, the words for "manly" and "womanly" ("manlig"/"kvinnlig") can be used for that ("my manly colleagues" would typically be understood as the men among my colleagues, rather than the most bearded/musky/etc among them).

Sadly many who deny climate change use “shapeshifter” arguments (it doesn’t exist; it exists but it wasn’t us; it exists and it’s good for us; it exists and it’s bad for us but we’ll adapt) to support their case. As a climate scientist once complained, “they get to pick from an assortment of contradictory arguments and will shift from one to the other; we can only resort to one argument - the truth” (quote may be wrong, sorry, I can’t find the original reference nor remember who said it).
Very good list, I hear my dad's voice when I read these.
A friend of mine had a Lynx, it was really massive. Bigger than a Game Gear that was already much bigger than the GameBoy.

Apparently the Lynx is even bigger than a Nintendo Switch, despite having a screen not much bigger than the Gameboy.

Well, my friend was proud that you could play it reverse, dpad on the right if you were left handed. Not sure if left handed players really want to play reverse anyway.
It was liberating when someone told me so, because I was always unsure on what to answer. There's still acceptable canned answers like "great, thanks, how about you?" or "not too bad".

“The UK NHS for example, is extremely aggressive in “saying no to treatment””

This hasn’t been my experience and I don’t know anyone the NHS has turned down for treatment.

I know of things like hip replacements where they said the patient should be older so they don’t have to do it again at a riskier age.

I know sometimes they don’t always approve every treatment but generally they don’t aggressively say no, not at all.

A quick check to see if there are any hardware bottlenecks.

Ignoring use of a GPU, how many IPS is a quad core i7 (mentioned by jjenkov)?

And how many instructions might it take to do something useful to a record? Say read 16 bytes and do some compares.

Or would the SSDs be the bottleneck? Also, RAID1, not RAID0, so effectively just 1 SSD.

Or NVMe? Wow, a google search says vendors are pushing for 32 GBps. (My SATA setup is obsolete.)

Maybe it's purely a software problem.
Of course I get downvoted for discrediting fake news pushing an agenda. Ridiculous.
> You only lose ~80ml of blood.

That's an average.

Almost all the women I have known occasionally complain about a "heavy month" every now and then. That can be either excessive bleeding in terms of volume lost over a normal time or an excessive time length of bleeding.

And, a 90lb female losing even 200ml of blood is going to feel effects far more than a 250lb male losing 500ml.

I was referring to net operating profits based only on their ecommerce operations. Amazon has been selling the 'reinvest' argument for decades, but it would not be solvent without AWS. In fact your link kinda agrees:

>All these investments have led to lines of businesses like AWS cloud computing and advertising that are relatively much more profitable than its e-commerce segment.

I do not claim that Amazon has negative cash flow, and I do not know why you would assume I claimed that.

The growth argument is going to get very weak eventually, because Amazon face resurgent competition at home, and regulatory hurdles & Alibaba abroad. Amazon is riding high on investor confidence, they have very little actually space for growth.

The past ten years little happened. But computer vision and batteries improved quite a bit. With those two things, I expect to see the rise of the robots in the next two decades. Transportation, deliveries, arms in healthcare and manufacturing and construction. Even personal robots and flying electric vehicles.

I think what hiQ does is to predict whether a particular employee is about to quit.

So the interesting question to me is whether you can lawfully make predictions based on published information if that information is under copyright.

In Europe the answer is probably no, because the assumption is that in order to analyse data you have to copy it first.

To me, this interpretation of the term "copying" makes very little sense. So I wonder what US law makes of it.
No it sounds just as cringe in English (at least UK English) as you highlight for Swedish/French. You wouldn't say "so I was just told by a female.", you would say "so I was just told by a woman." or an example of when female wouldn't sound (as) cringe "so I was just told by my female colleague".

I don't think it's a HN quirk, you see it on certain subs of reddit as well. So it's probably more of a subculture thing, it could also be that from certain languages translations to "A female" make more sense, but I'm not aware of what that/those languages would be.
Strange/stretched comparison. Menstruation is all about the cycle. Even as a man one would/should know because the basic methods of avoiding pregnancy when having sex should be of interest to men too. Because of the importance of that cycle its also indicative for a woman's health in general (lots of hormonal changes within the cycle; regular blood loss too).

Heart attacks are just point-events on the other hand, they happen and that's that. So knowing full well what a menstruation app is useful for one would still not understand what a similar app for heart attacks could possibly even mean. Calculate your heart attack window? That would be something new indeed, so you are right not to see the point. Just as there is no point in using heart attacks to understand the menstruation cycle.
Those are apple to orange comparisons: A phone call - you don't have to answer the call, nor say anything once you know (or don't know) who the caller is or what their intention is - you can stop whenever you want - is it a robo-call? You hangup. And similarly with talking to someone (in person - if they say something you're free to just not respond; and if they persist, it's harassment.

The main reason I see businesses being concerned about being required to serve scrapers pages (even at a reasonable rate of download) is that there's still cost associated to it, and more so the more scrapers try to access and regularly access the data for updates. Similarly, if it is the users of a platform who have input the data, update it, and they are only wanting it presented on that platform (for whatever reasons) then what rights do they have?

Is the answer then requiring adding another acknowledgement message like "this site uses cookies" required, perhaps with required response before moving forward to have users acknowledge "scraping isn't allowed" - akin to "no trespassing" signs on properties? That seems awfully ridiculous to put the onus on 100% of users (including the overwhelming majority being non-scrapers), adding friction and speed of access to billions of internet surfers? Of course browsers could then could act as a layer that auto-respond to that or pre-agree to the rules - perhaps in a way reading through a site's TOS and pre-approving what you agree to. And as the trend has been otherwise it leads to closed platforms so the data isn't considered public; I won't argue whether that is good or bad for the general internet, however how much value is there in a person having access to that data without having to be a user?

Or the much simpler thing is we could put the onus on businesses who are scraping or will use scraped data to not cause this mass friction.
I actually did, joined joined the Air Force 3 years later as soon as I turned 18. Only recently got out after 10 years. I was on holiday at the time with my family, and we saw the first news at at a train station when we were waiting for a connection. It had a tremendous impact on me at the time. Once we got to our hotel, we were glued to the TV 10 hours afterwards, and I can vividly remember the horror of watching replay after replay of those planes hitting the towers.

If the plane had been blown up by a bomb or shot down, it would have broken up into chunks which would have landed largely intact, because fuselage sections are quite light compared to their volume. You can see this in pictures of other downed or bombed planes, such as the one shot down over Ukraine. Most of the bodies would have fallen out of the plane or come down in the fuselage sections and been mostly intact. Bombs and missiles simply don't destroy the whole vehicle so completely.

The only way the bodies could all have been so thoroughly destroyed is if the plane smashed into the ground as a single piece under power at full speed, which would require full control authority for the pilot. Even if it had drifted or spun into the ground, perhaps due to loss of control from a small bomb or weapon damage, it would have been too slow for the observed effect, because we know what those crashes look like as well. The speculative electronic interference weapons would also have induced a more conventional crash, not one at full speed under power.

Also the article even opens with an eye witness account of the intact plane hitting the ground under power, the witness even describes the engine noise.

It is possible a small bomb or grenade did go off, but wasn't powerful enough to disable the plane. However if it did happen that just supports or at least is consistent with the passenger revolt theory.

What the article tries to do is throw out as much information presented in as discordant a way as possible, to create openings for speculation. However the conspiracy scenarios presented don't actually fit the evidence at all. all the rest about mysterious planes and such is irrelevant noise to the facts of the crash itself.

This is reductive.

Plenty of people argue that climate science is not a single-variable problem, i.e. the correlation between temperature and atmospheric carbon is not monotonic. This is supported by geological histories, which do have various cyclings of temperature and carbon abundances well before the anthropocene era and often out of sync with each other.

Throwing hands in the air and saying "they all think it's God or something" is... tiresome.
>No. That's bullshit and actively harming the legitimacy Greens have.

Bullshit is the word. Some examples:

- Farmer #1 uses a plethora of organic pesticides on every crop. Can label produce as Certified Organic.

- Farmer #2 uses no pesticides whatsoever, with the exception of glyphosate once a year for weed control. Not Organic.

- Farmer #3 applies B. thuringiensis (Bt) innoculate for fighting fungal infections in corn. Compatible with Organic.

- Farmer #4 sows GM Bt corn that already has B. thuringiensis, with the added benefit of avoiding carbon emissions for using a tractor. Not Organic.

- Farmer #5 gives his free-ranging animals no antibiotics. In line with Organic practice.

- Farmer #6 gets paid regular visits by a certified veterinary, that prescribes antibiotics when strictly necessary. Not Organic.
I agree. Especially all the menstrual health apps seem to be insane data grabbers. This should be something that belongs to a trusted company.

However, the cycle tracking capabilities of iOS 13 are fine as a replacement for simple menstrual cycle trackers, but it's too simple to replace more sophisticated cycle trackers that also allow to track more body signals such as the temperature.
This looks nice!

Yeah, partly that. Here is a quote from John Carmack on the Jaguar hardware design:

Skilled programmer Steven Scavone, key member of 3D Stooges which released Gorf, still develops for Jaguar. Comparing it to systems he’s worked on, Scavone elaborated on tech-specs, also explaining in laymen’s terms. “It should be coded in as much assembler as possible. This machine flies when fuelled by assembler. The RISCs in proper concert with the 68k will do some absolutely amazing graphics. The Jaguar could [utterly] crush any 2D system. It’s a lot easier to program 2D for than the PSX or N64. You can thank the Tramiels for it being ‘underpowered’. The chips were not complete and had bugs. The designers, who weren’t experts in silicon design, missed fundamentals. Just one more register and [it could have run without stalling all the time]! If they [had fixed this], the Jag would have blown away the PSX. Later 3D titles like Battlesphere proved that systems at the time were no match for it.

https://steemit.com/gaming/@alexbeyman/john-carmack-s-though...

Another problem was that the Jaguar included a Motorola 68000, the same processor in the Sega Genesis. Why was that an issue? A lot of developers would simply implement their games against that CPU because it was well documented without utilizing the Tom/Jerry CPUs. That led to a lot of the Jag's library looking no better, and even worse than its 16-bit competition. That made the Jag look like a joke to gamers since it was being touted as a 64-bit machine. Not many consoles got as much abuse from the gaming community in the States as the Jag back in the day.

Though with the failures of the 32X, Virtual Boy, and 3DO (and later the Saturn), everyone was getting 3D wrong until Sony showed up to the party. And all of those consoles failed partly because of poor hardware design. So maybe Atari can be cut some slack here.

I've seen this type of argument by a few people who are against state medical care (not saying you're one of those in particular).

The product or service that extends your life is essentially not critical to survival or even just your status quo health-wise. From an economic perspective, this is a price elastic situation so charge as you like (i.e. basically according to supply/demand).

The situation that is actually the problem (and way more common, of course) is that if I'm in a life threatening situation I don't have the option to chose a particular product or service, that's price inelastic and not beholden to supply/demand. So you're comparing apples to oranges from an economic viewpoint, especially when we're talking about something as critical as healthcare.
