I think it's pretty clear that Title IX courts could do a much better job of protecting the due process rights of the accused. I think it's possible to take a nuanced position that advocates for better due process rights while still fundamentally respecting the advances we've made in protecting the interests of women and other underrepresented groups.

...but without that last part, the position I just outlined sounds very much like that of conservatives opposed to the whole program of social reform. The author of this article gives the game away in his concluding paragraphs where he throws the term "social justice" into scare quotes. He has a bigger agenda than just protecting the due process rights of college students. And (even assuming the facts are exactly as he portrays them) I'm not surprised that the professors described in the article got such a frosty reception to their position - it's a difficult one to describe without coming off as another stealth reactionary.

How would bias toward gay people fit in with that? A lot of people don't know (or at least aren't aware that they know) anyone gay, but bias toward gay people has dramatically fallen over the last couple of decades.

There was a recent episode of "Hidden Brain" on NPR that talked about this [1].

This part is particularly interesting:

> In a thought experiment, Mahzarin and her colleagues have extended the trend lines of the data to see how long it would take for bias to be entirely eliminated. To be clear, this isn't a prediction about what is going to happen. It just shows you the speed at which different biases are changing.

What they found is that this would have anti-gay bias all but eliminated in 9 more years. By contrast, it's about 60 more years for anti-black biases to be eliminated, 140 years for skin tone biases against darker skin to go away. Biases against the elderly and the disabled and the overweight do not go away within the next 150 years.

Most families include the elderly and the overweight, so the idea that familiarity breeds acceptance would predict that those biases should be going away quicker than biases against gays.

(To reiterate, the timeframes aren't predictions of what will happen. They are just comparisons of the rates that those biases are changing right now).

If I run a startup, and one of my employees is making other employees uncomfortable, and he keeps getting accused of harassing other employees, and is generally just making some of my best engineers unhappy, hurting productivity, and ruining our carefully constructed culture...

...I can fire him. I mean, obviously I need to go through the proper HR procedures, follow local employment law, respect the terms of his contract, etc., but I have no obligation to keep him employed if I think he's a net negative to my company. Arguably I have an obligation to not keep him employed. And I certainly have no requirement to wait until he has been convicted of a crime; it's not even clear any of the above is a crime.

Similarly, if I run a resort, and one of the guests is so unpleasant they're driving away other guests, or if I run a restaurant, and one of the guests is making other guests uncomfortable, or I run an apartment building, and one of the tenants is behaving poorly.

A university is a business. People come and pay money in exchange for a service, and if someone is interfering with the ability of other people to receive that service, or making people reluctant to come and pay money, it's perfectly fine for them to be asked to leave. If what they're doing happens to be a crime, then by all means, also report them to the police, but it's kind of odd to suggest that you shouldn't expel students except if they've been convicted of a crime.

That being said, I think universities are doing a terrible job here, and I think that given the extreme importance of a university education in modern life, the disruption that being expelled entails, and the stigma that will follow someone if they are expelled, we need to be very careful about the process here. My local dollar store will ban you from the store if they think you shoplifted, and I assume they get it wrong sometimes, but it's fine, because being unjustly banned from a dollar store does not ruin your life. Being unjustly expelled from university could! Things are broken and need fixing. But a world where you can only be expelled on conviction of a crime makes no sense either. The discussion need to be about the correct amount of protection needed.

Making await implicit would make it difficult to manage parallel promises. You would either have to make an exception for Promise.all or add new syntax. It's also not unheard of to have hanging promises (fire and forget).

Types make it easier to catch mistakes early in general. Typescript has a compiler rule 'no-hanging-promises' to help avoid forgetting to await.
Men have always been much worse off than women in their own ways. Dying in wars/violence, outcast from society and social networks at far higher rates, less sympathized with, expected to carve out their own niche and resources independently.

Safety vs independence has been the Grand Bargain since the beginning of humanity. Women got the former regardless of what they want, men got the latter regardless of what the want (overall and relatively speaking of course).

Men and women both have had it rough. The idea that women ever were/and especially are currently the overall disadvantaged sex is a patronizing myth.

I get what you're saying. But the "second sexual revolution" actually happened in the 80s-90s. I remember it distinctly. You always paused, and clearly asked, at each stage.

But this is different. Now there is no such thing as "consent". Or rather, consent can be withdrawn retroactively.

I've never been accused of rape, as far as I know. But many years ago, one girlfriend told me that she had thought I was wealthy. With the implication that we wouldn't be having sex, if she had known that I wasn't. Today, that might well become an accusation of rape. In that I had tricked her.

There's nothing intrinsic about not supporting joins, in a columnar store; it's just that you lose a huge amount of the linear scanning performance if you have to do joins for each value. Most columnar stores I've used (primarily Impala, SparkSQL and Clickhouse) all support joins, but they materialize one side of the join as an in-memory hash table, which limits the allowable size of the join, and is a cost multiplier for a distributed query. I believe per the docs that MemSQL can mix and match row-based with columnar more easily, but joins are always going to be really slow compared to the speed you can get from scanning the minimum number of columns to answer your question.

This is an interesting logic discussion. :-) Does the term non sequitur apply to correctly formed statements where the conclusion of the statement is incorrect? I would be inclined to agree with TheSpiceIsLife and say no. Because the article is based on limited sources, the article's conclusion about helmet replacement is incorrect, even if it's well-formed.

EDIT: Here's an interesting list of non sequiturs, many of which fit the same pattern as the article. I think loeg is probably right after all.

From the article:

"This ideology is a successor to liberalism. It brandishes terms that superficially resemble normative liberalism—terms like diversity and inclusion—but in fact seeks to supplant it. This new regime, in which administrative power has been fashioned into a blunt instrument of deterrence, marks off a crucial distinction—between the liberal rule of law, and the punitive system of surveillance rooted in identity politics known as 'social justice.'”

It's really silly to frame this as "archaeology". Archaeology is the study of long-past civilizations with only traces of clues left behind in buildings, trash piles, etc. This is a game written just a few years ago; you can just ask the folks who worked on it.

Developers usualy argue that opt-out is necessary because otherwise people would not opt-in. But IMO this is just disrespecting peoples choice.

Features can be useful, developers can be trustworthy and by not opting-in people may be not using some feature that they would be missing. But still people have their reasons that should be respected even if it's: I will not opt-in because I don't feel comfortable enough or don't understand enough how it works or the consequences of opting-in

This is the one thing I wish Apple would solve in a new version of macOS. There are so many ways to automatically start software, and I would love a more built-in way to manage what can start with the system. They have login items, but that's an incomplete list. I recently _gave up_ trying to remove Dropbox because its auto-updater kept coming back after removing seemingly all possible places where it was stored.

Apple is willing to inundate users with permission prompts for microphone, location, and disk access. Why not the ability to start with the system?
It's a useful pattern that I used a lot, though I don't know if I would agree that it's neat. I definitely prefer the explicit annotations or even the python underscore convention.
> The question at hand is whether or not things have gone too far.

I think it's fairly clear that it has, at this point.

1. Sexual assault is defined so broadly it's virtually impossible to legal have sex. "Can I hug you?" "Yes" "Can I kiss you?" "Yes" "Can I squeeze your butt?" "Yes" etc. Did you kiss their neck without asking for and receiving positive, enthusiastic consent? That's sexual assault.

2. There's no recourse if there's an accusation. Notification of a complaint is stated in the form of expulsion. Once expelled, there's no appeals process.

There can and should be an extra judicial system to expect offenders. But this is the wrong one.
> Even if LTO-8 tapes are now in stock, you can buy cheap LTO-7,

> The newly graduated BS-CS is going to be expected to work at least 40 hours/week, with two weeks vacation, and to study outside work hours to get up to speed with his co-workers.

Wasn't my experience at any of the major or minor tech companies I've worked at. I've never been expected to study outside of work hours, and most places pretty quickly gave more than two weeks vacation.

> Why are college students given such a light schedule?

Presumably because they have hours of coursework every day, they should be socializing and networking, they have to work to feed themselves and pay tuition, they have a family to see to, and practicing/exploring their domain on their own?

I was enrolled in 20 credit hours/semester and worked 35 hours a week. Nothing about my schedule was 'light'. I think it's wrong to assume that college students necessarily have it 'easy'.

It absolutely can. It's more sensitive than equipment hospitals use. There's an ongoing data collection program to calibrate it for that purpose. But since it hasn't been approved by regulators for use as such, they'd be in legal trouble if they claimed otherwise.
It is really Edward Thorp who was the shark. He was the one who pitched the idea to Shannon of building the first wearable computer to beat roulette. Shannon was not very much interested in talking to Thorp until he proposed the idea face to face.

Some Garmin watches have this feature and work with Android.
It definitely exists, but doesn't appear to have anything like the equivalent influence. It has been successfully marginalized.
The watch did an emergency sos. AFAIK no heart related notification triggers that - only fall detection can.

Outside possibility is he felt bad, saw a heart rhythm notification, and manually triggered emergency sos by holding the power button. But a fall alert seems much more likely.
The only reason the university is worth its tuition is because of the renown that it creates. The fact that rich people enter through legacy is actually why the diploma is worth more.

The value in a table at a particular time is a relation, but so is the value of a view, the result of a subquery, the result of a select statement, and the value represented by the contents of a CSV file. In some API's this is called a row set.

It's essentially a table-shaped value. Conceptually it's immutable, and relational algebra is about calculating new values from old ones. A select statement does this too.

Your scenario and the scenario where someone is falsely accused are indistinguishable prior to a court proceeding. In the second case the victim is the person being falsely accused. Then you would have the same problem with the victim being unable to maintain their academic performance if you kick them out of school without due process.

Let's even admit that forcing a rape victim to live in the same dorm as their rapist is untenable. So that option is off the table and one of them should leave, but in that case it would be the same burden (of leaving) on each class of victim and the tiebreaker should be innocent until proven guilty. On top of that, it may be possible to live in a different dorm or take different classes while remaining at the same school, which is a lesser burden than an innocent victim being forced out of the entire school.

To me, it seems like you both failed to accurately represent the linked article.

The linked editorial does not limit itself to discussing the impact of public health policy. It does start with a link to an article that attempts to quantify the effects of a Canadian helmet law. However, it then discusses a number of other papers and the general methodological issues with trying to estimate effects of wearing a helmet.

However, the article certainly does not endorse the claim you are responding to: "Bicycle helmets prevent neither concussions nor death"

The conclusion reached by the editorial is that the safety effects of helmet use are complicated and contingent which makes the results of any study of the effects highly dependent on the methodology. (There could be a positive effect in NYC but a negative effect in the Netherlands or a positive effect for riders of street bikes, but a negative effect for cruisers)

> In any case, the current uncertainty about any benefit from helmet wearing or promotion is unlikely to be substantially reduced by further research.
