> solicitations from parties without a valid 501(c)(3) tax exempt status clearly displayed to the public

As far as I can tell (though I am no expert) it would be very difficult or impossible for an open source project to qualify for 501(c)(3) tax exemption. And even if it was, the cost in both time and money to obtain such a status would not be worth it for small open source projects.

I don't think I agree. For a tech company to officially say "don't discuss politics at work" is also a phenomenon I don't think we've seen before, and in the context of recent events/trends it seems significant.

Stroustrup is effectively saying: if it needs to be fast and efficient then C++ is the choice. Historically I agree, I think it’s still valid in a lot of cases today, but for the future I think hardware speed and the efficiency of GC languages will supplant the importance of C++ for most of the core use cases for C++ today.

A better example is when you have a #FF0000 red background. WCAG says you should use #000000 black text on it, but #FFFFFF white text is actually more accessible to people with color deficient vision[1] and, to my eyes at least, reads more easily and has more contrast.

If we consider other hominids, we don't know exactly, but it seems we outcompeted them. If we consider more distant animals, because we converted the entire planet to provide for us much faster than they could evolve to catch up with us.
Your argument is that, because some people you've talked to only say things without believing in them to troll, i must be trolling too. I mean okay. I still don't want words put in my mouth and that is a very reasonable thing to ask in a discussion.

I write my opinion forcefully because my opinion is absolute. This is a good thing that more people ought to work on. We should all know what the other thinks and we shouldn't feel the need to hide behind ambiguity to make ourselves more popular

But if you cant have a discussion without ad hominems, then i think im done here. Have a great day!
My guess would be some idiot in Legal got their panties in a bunch over nothing.
Yeah this is really confusing to me. Especially given that tenants are unlikely to mix books, just out of the box multitenant Citus + Postgres would probably get them where they needed with super good perf characteristics.

Hindsight and all that, and every team has inhouse stuff that could probably be gotten rid of, but this seems like a major operational danger compared to relying on more battle-tested stuff. They should probably get the Jepsen guy on this and see if he can get race conditions
You should try reading "The Greatest Show on Earth". It lays the overwhelming evidence for evolution out in stunning detail. It's absolutely incredible.

Also, Dawkins manages to stick to the facts and evidence and almost entirely avoid the religion bashing in this book, making it much more approachable for religious folks.
Do you say the same things to a union when they try to address things? "No, you shouldn't have any say over the wages, or the firing policy, or whether we supply dictators"? Because unions negotiate on major issues with companies all the time.

If you think unions shouldn't negotiate, you're awful.

If you're okay with unions doing negotiation, why shouldn't a lone employee be able to negotiate a little bit? Why is a group of employees protesting not treated like an impromptu union?

"You're small compared to the company, so you should have exactly zero influence, instead of influence proportional to your contributions" is something a petty tyrant says.
This is one of the reasons I like ruby better than python... none of the magic 'dunder' methods... if you want to define a custom adder for your class, so "foo + bar" works, you do "def +()" in ruby instead of "def __add__ ()" in Python.... I love that ruby just uses the actual operator instead of some arbitrary method name you have to remember.

2400 schools and exactly the same school system the “scientific studies” are based on, so yes you are moving the goal post. What i have is a pretty clear indication that meeting early in school does not affect your abilities to perform well in fact when you compare SA which have the earliest meeting time they dominate of a top 30, 20 of those are SA. I was responding to a claim that Later was better for performance.

Whatever that stude had in scientific rigor it lagged in sample size, if anything that was the very definition of anecdotal no matter how deep itcwent it was still only two classes on two different schools. Also notice how it talks about the sociodemographic reality as a way to explain some of thecredults yet SA is mostly from exactly that sociodemographic group yet outperform 98.2% of all other elementary schools in new york state.

And no the later time is only better because they got more sleep, but that can wasily be solved by going to bed earlier.

I dont for a second believe you cant see that your positive is simply not supported by your evidence and if you really cant see the holes in your position then i guess there is nothing more i can do. You are the one supporting anecdotal evidence, however detailed it is, not me.

You loterally started claiming i was talking about one school only, then you just kept moving the goal post. That’s intellectually dishonest and not something i care continuing supporting. Thanks for the talk.

I think you've somewhat missed the analogy. There's a specific system of beliefs that insists upon bringing up these subjects, framing them in terms of collective privilege and oppression, and silencing anyone who disagrees with that framing. This ideology is ultimately no more "inclusive" than Agile processes are "agile" or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is "democratic".
> When was this ever true in Manhattan

It never was, but the car problem always existed because roads needing to be clear for horses caused the same prohibitive issues of using streets for pedestrians.

> why do you think it would become true just by getting rid of cars?

It wouldn't be just getting rid of cars, its what you do with the space once you get rid of them. Added greenery, protected bike lanes, a lane or two for trains/buses, and you get a ton more pedestrian room. Suddenly people could want to be on the streets of midtown manhattan maybe, save tourist spots.
We have fairly poor fat insulation and we are hairless so it’s highly unlikely we have evolved in water.

Fur combined with skin oils is a great insulator as it is a hydrophobic surface in which air bubbles get trapped proving very good insulation.

Our skin is very porous and thin and gets soggy very quickly in water which makes it less grippy and weakens it.

We also have terrible physique for swimming (hence why we need to develop complex swimming techniques instead of just paddling) just to put it into perspective a deer can swim as fast as 15 mph, a polar bear can swim at about 7 mph for 10 hours the fastest human swimmer can swim at around 5mph and that’s for a 100m sprint, we have fairly poor buoyancy and a very weak diving reflex compared to other mammals and like most apes we are actually quite terrified of water naturally.

Our vision is also severely impacted by water, especially salt water and we have a very water ingress unfriendly nose-ear system.

The whole aquatic ape theory doesn’t make any sense it’s almost as crazy as the chimp fucked a pig theory.

Like seriously take pretty much any other non ape mammal and you’ll discover that they are so much better at swimming than humans that they might as well be fish compared to us even those who don’t look like they should be able to swim at all.

Like freaking mice have been observed swimming for 3 days straight.

One thing I was thinking of are university campuses, which tend to be more often be localized (not spread among a larger city) in the US. I'm sure there are some in European countries but I haven't seen it yet and I'm a student here. In most of these types of campuses that I've been to in the US, the main streets within the campus are therefore closed to non-essential car traffic.
I noticed that too. Presumably, modeling a dynamic curve over time would have dramatically complicated the diagrams and explanations without really adding much to the core concept. That's at least my assumption for why it was passed over.
No we aren’t the best mammals at swimming but, definitely the best primates. And I think the argument is that the theoretical aquatic ape spent much more time in water than the typical bear.

Or some such thing. The more complex the chain the harder it is for me to read. Does anyone else have that experience?
Yes to this. To all the people saying cars were some necessarily step, I disagree. I think the damage cars and sprawl have done to our land use and social structures will take every bit as long to clean up as as the carbon emissions.
>Mainstream science can't have one, only marginal branches can.

This is like native speakers of a language (say, English) asserting that only non-native speakers of their language have accents. You do, you just speak with an accent that's considered to be standard.

>This kind of intellectual dishonesty could come only from a ideology-loaded follower of some heterodox (and usually pseudoscientific) theory, most likely grounded in some ideology (guessing from value judgments of op like "neoliberal" -- left one) rather than verified by empiric data.

And mainstream (i.e. neoclassical) economics[0] does that, even in the face of mathematical reality, let alone empirical data.[1] The ignorance of the implications of the SMD theorem,[2] because it implies that the aggregation problem remains unsolved and the fundamental breakdown of the "law" of demand, was a profoundly anti-intellectual move.

Bitcoin has grown a complex mining ecosystem that is pretty difficult to understand. Bitcoin has high level of energy consumption because of its demand. If demand goes down, energy consumption will go down. From what I've seen in the market, Bitcoin works the best.

Many coins attempt to tweak this Proof of Work model. The result is not wasted energy but wasted human effort. What we need is to go back and explore Bitcoin Proof of Work model. It's works and simplest to configure.

I create Bitflate, a Bitcoin fork with constant inflation. I get to see a small-scale, simpler version of Bitcoin energy consumption. Currently, it costs me about $3/day to mine coins and verify transactions. I get about 12-14 TH/s. That is cheap for running a digital ledger system. It's cheaper than renting any server on AWS. I imagine, in the future, businesses can run private permissioned digital ledger system to verify their own transactions. A Proof of Work system like Bitcoin is not wasteful.
I like the water ape theory in the romantic sense, but it's important to remember that it's pseudo science.

It's fun to think of the ramifications though. Are/can we look for human fossils in the right places? How much of our history is potentially under water and not African caves. Did it help spur fire usage so that we could safely eat fish? Did it influence the out of Africa migration which was mostly coastal (we got to Australia before Europe)?

It probably didn't affect our evolution much but I suspect a lot more of our pre-history was spent at least on the shallow ocean than we have evidence for.

> The idea that this is just a coincidence that electronic computing happened to come into existence around the time that women started gaining more rights does not hold up

This is a misstatement of my idea, which is that which is that greater numbers of women were higher in stem at the beginning because of a historical circumstance. The data you show in [1] is a snapshot of the modern day, and really says nothing about the historical circumstances.

> Since the share of women in computing continued to increase several decades after WWII, the idea of a temporary gender-bind vacuum is not promising.

You act as if there are no momemtum effects of the initial higher rate of women in computing technology. A baseline rate of women in the culture at the time would encourage more women to be in the industry, perhaps until other effects became stronger. That the numbers continued to rise, in my opinion, say nothing about my second proposition one way or other.

A level 40 player (deeply committed to get that high) creates a stop with a photo of a statue in his back yard fountain so he could cheat. You could wait until multiple people submit it, or just allow it and just see how many people visit it. Either way, you get validation data on it.

Conversely, a player creates a stop for a new statue that was just placed outside of a government building in the last few weeks. This stop gets visited hundreds or thousands of times a day. You've now identified a hub. This hub can be used to validate the existence of other items of interest in the near vicinity.

Yahoo Groups shutdown threatens UK phone infrastructure
I'm one of those students who questioned it.

Never got a satisfactory answer.

For example the gravity between two objects depends on the relative speed between them (since gravity is proportional to energy, not rest mass). Are we calculating that for each and every sun orbiting in a galaxy?

It's a lot of interactions, each sun interacting with all the rest.

It gets worse - gravity is also proportional to potential energy. So you need to include how much energy you would have if every sun fell into every other sun, not just their rotation.

I just can't shake the feeling that dark matter is just this unaccounted for energy in a galaxy.
It doesn't have to be right from the get go. Hard is why it should get done.

A free model doesn't really tell their business if there's actually demand and if people actually value it when supply is "infinite" when in reality it isn't.

Generally speaking, I like it. $12 seems high and 60 is high. I would lower the cost to $5.00($4.99)per month but charged per year. I would also reduce the number of people to 20 or so. I would then create multiple groups of 20. The idea is that people get to discuss the book and they get to know each other and will return month after month.

Also, reward someone with a free membership if they lead the group.

You are heading in the right direction.
Excellent work and a great write-up! I’ve been implementing double blind accounting systems the past decade or so and what they teach in accounting classes is spot on there just isn’t much need for more complexity. There is the added benefit of staying PCI compliant and reconciling things the right way. Doing splits like this is hard work but I gather there are lots of powerful tools out there to help nowadays. Having worked with NACHA and Wells Fargo getting those ACHs done in one fell swoop is extremely innovative actually the system doesn’t lend itself to this very well.

I honestly cannot see how one can support the electoral college and not support that the Cherokee get their special representation in Congress as well.

At least, if the argument for the electoral college used is the oft repeated ”people from the more populous states would trample over the less populous states”. Why are people from sparsely populated states a minority that has to be treated like a special snowflake, lest their rights be violated by the more populous ones, but minorities like Native Americans who have suffered centuries of oppression are not? Especially when you can move from one state to another but you cannot stop being Native American.
