How dare they let science interfere with politics? If the science doesn't agree with the current politics, it's obviously bad science.

And if this particular study indeed turns out to be bad (not replicating, bad methodology, etc) that would validate the above truth even more. It would obviously be because no good science could ever come from studying such issues -- not because papers regularly turn to be bad, regardless of subject.

The only appropriate response is for non-scientific concerned groups plus a few politically-minded scientists to put pressure to their institutions to make sure such researchers don't work in the field again.

Yes - at that time there were two common errors that we would find about once per week that were known issues. (Can’t remember specifics - but we were thrilled when an old WSJ article noted them.) They were a combination of multiplication / exponential and some basic if-then statements.

Easier items - where rounding resulted in paper errors were common.

God help these companies if they're collecting data on EU citizens. Contrary to what is posted elsewhere here, GDPR applies to:

"a company established outside the EU and is offering goods/services (paid or for free) or is monitoring the behaviour of individuals in the EU."

Enforcement might be difficult, but I'm sure that associated entities have interests in Europe as well..

I'm sure it's been fully risk-assessed and they don't do it.
The MBA has lost its once held stature in most industries. It’s almost become an acronym for dumb business decisions in many circles: “This must be something the MBAs came up with.”

If schools want to stay relevant they need to create programs that produce leadership candidates for today’s modern business environment. For too long it’s just been a cash cow for schools and people went because it was the thing to do. With market attitudes changing and applications way down schools need to rethink.

Dare I say an MBA case study is needed on making the MBA relevant again ;-)

Dostoevsky is dark and deep, but it may feel an easer entertaining read - say, Brothers Karamazov. Crime and Punishment was harder for me. Tolstoy is more difficult to read due to epic long sentences.

The downvotes are happening because this would have been as possible to achieve in Safari as in Chrome had the author chosen to develop purely in that, and Chrome would have been one of the engines that look broken. At this level you’re relying on engine quirks rather than spec compatibility.
The last sentence, quoted from one of the critics:

> Strumia “certainly hasn’t attempted any analysis of the relevant systemic problems” that might influence gender differences in physics, such as implicit bias or outright harassment.

Might or mighty, just telling it's systemic actually doesn't show anything.

Questionnaires about hurt feeling in academia don't prove anything either because the same gender bias would apply, everything from what words do you use to implied answers that many time creep in into those "systemic" studies.

We barely have any of the Apache commons dependencies - in most cases use of them is not justified in modern Java. If there’s anything like that we are ready to support such dependency on source code level, patching and setting up own build pipeline if necessary. Free software cannot be trusted if you are not ready to own it. Commercial software cannot be trusted either, but there are other ways to manage the risks there.

This is from the paper:

>Acknowledgements I thank the referees for their comments; the InSpire team for clarifications; Guy Madison for discussions and suggestions; Riccardo Torre for (among many things) having implemented the WGND name-gender association; Sabine Hossenfelder for having independently replicated the results in fig. 8b and section 3.1 using arXiv data [Hossenfelder et al.(2018)]; more colleagues who prefer not to mentioned.

I like the last sentence in particular and I'm not surprised :)
A quick search shows they paid around $15 billions in 2017 on a $59 billion operating income. Not what I'd call noblesse oblige. OECD member states have an average statutory corporate tax rate of 24% which seems reasonable given that people still need to pay personal income tax, and sales tax, VAT, carbon tax etc.

The author pushes one sided Cloudflare's line on both client subnets and DoH (given APNIC maybe he should disclose affiliation). There is nothing accurate about it. Client subnet extension doesn't violate any privacy in any threat model you can imagine, Cloudflare just wants all the competing CDNs, which are DNS based, to get more wildly inaccurate results on picking nodes. And DoH is outright anti-privacy tech pretending to be about privacy, since a lot of people have no clue that encryption is orthogonal to privacy.

I support basic income, but I'm not a big fan of value added tax. It's a corporate tax that ends up being paid by consumers. Investments and buying abroad is often except, so it ends up as a somewhat regressive tax.
I don’t, yet I will still have my freedoms restricted by the reactionary and unnecessary legislation passed because of fearmongering articles like this.

Your words seem to imply that people who have their freedoms taken away in bulk are somehow themselves to blame, when that is rarely the case.
GDPR like legislation would have required any company holding a profile on you to disclose that fact, would have allowed you to read it; would have been required to correct it on request and would have allowed you to ask for removal of your data. Scoring companies such as these will lobby like there is no tomorrow against such legislation.

This does not solve the issue, while in fact making housing even less affordable by allowing prices to keep going up.

Stick to encouraging both building more (increase supply) and shifting employees out of Silicon Valley (decrease demand).
I came upon this while looking up things related to Zettelkasten or "card box" style note taking. It would be helpful to have more information about the tool on the page rather than all of the testimonials (which don't really answer why this is better than something like WorkFlowy except that one references it). Without signing up all you can infer from the schematic and comments are that this is like a wiki that reports back-links.

As a separate comment, I've had really great success using Zotero for this purpose. I already ingest all the journal articles, book references, etc I read into it using the Zotero browser plugin. You can tag items and (bi-directionally) link related items, and add notes with its inbuilt HTML note system. I just have one folder that contains my notes and link them to each other. You can also attach reading notes to the bibliographic entries themselves and have separate folders for project specific notes. A weakness however is that the links do not appear as hypertext in the body of the note but instead in a pop-up menu.
Let's just say, Safari has more "quirks" than it should.
yes I read it at the time. However, HTTP3 + QUIC config [1] of gRPC also runs over UDP with more fallbacks to make it work over commodity hardware. DDR is a pain for random labs to work with as you have to have admin control over the network and bridges to make it work. This basically means it can't be used in the cloud or most corporate environments. It has huge deployment friction. Given the bad uptake of ROS2, I think the market agrees with me.

Note QUIC and HTTP3 were not really a thing when ROS2 was conceived, but the problem of head of line blocking was known and ROS2 was just a bit too ahead of the curve.

The developing nations never pass cheaper oil benefit to the end consumers. They just increase taxes to offset the decrease in price (and thats a good thing). So there won't be any increase in consumption due to low prices.

You mean they continue its spirit in new ways (redlining, police bias, incarceration bias, racism, federal and local government neglect of their districts, under-representation etc) like it's the situation with blacks in the US?

>Should Germany have been isolated in 1939? Sure. Does that apply 80 years later when things have changed? Of course not.

Better safe than sorry. 1939 was not that far from 1918. In fact the whole spirit of splitting the country in East/West and have it have no army, as officially expressed by US, USSR, and European officials was exactly that -- to prevent future aggressions. They, having witnessed both WWI and WWII knew better.

Annulus is the space between the outer and inner pipe.

Most new pipelines are inspected currently with "drones", called smart pipeline inspection gauges, or smart PIGs, that use ultrasonic or magnetic flux to measure the wall thickness over the entire length of the pipe [1]. The PIGs are propelled through the pipe via the working fluid in the pipeline.

I think creating a similar device to travel in the annulus of cased pipe would be much more difficult. The centralizers used to keep the inner pipe centered in the outer pipe would pose a pretty big obstacle. Plus, there would be nothing propelling it forward, and communicating with the device through a steel pipe would be very difficult.

I have managed in the past and here are some things that worked for me:

- Ask the technology leaders at your company/past companies about the managers they used to work with and see if they can connect you.

- Go on LinkedIn and message all of the managers from local companies you respect.

- Do some mentoring yourself, you may meet a junior engineer with an awesome boss, and they may be willing to introduce you.

- This is outside the box: have 1-1s with random managers in different parts of your company. You'll be surprised how similar the roles and challenges are.

When you get a chance to meet, make it as easy on the mentor as possible. Go to them, pick the restaurant, etc. Don't try to get them to help you solve your problems, they won't know how. Just ask them about their world.
I always get downvoted for asking this but... doesn’t that seem like a really bad idea that makes you far far more vulnerable to physical crime? If a guy mugs you at an atm, the bank is going to flag something as suspicious. If a guy mugs you for your private key, you have no recourse for all of your holdings- and the getaway is a lot easier. Physical crypto crime feels like it would be very prevalent if it became “mainstream”
The https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Algebraic_structu... link in footnote 1 is broken, it takes me to a page saying 'The revision #898454436132 of the page named "Algebraic structure" does not exist.'.

As for the quoted definition, I agree that if this is your first exposure to abstract algebra, you'll need a moment to unpack the sentence, follow some links, and especially, read on. But that's not just Wikipedia; the blog post also takes considerably more than one sentence to explain what it is trying to say. You can't explain everything in one sentence.

For whatever it's worth, as a data point relating to a recent discussion on whether a university CS education makes you a better programmer or not: We literally started learning about algebraic structures in the first math class on the first morning of the first year of university. If you're going to program in a setting where algebraic structures (or data types!) are relevant, this university knowledge will help.

Finally, this blog looks very nice visually, but the "broken typewriter" font effect makes the code examples much too hard to read. It would be great if the ribbon in that typewriter could be replaced.

AudioContext fingerprinting is not new. Libraries like Fingerprintjs use it, among other device fingerprinting techniques. It's in there since 10 Jun 2018 (https://github.com/Valve/fingerprintjs2/commit/caf14daa9e2de...).
Combined with other methods, you can get very good accuracy.

If there is an OSS lib to do it, you can bet the adtech companies are doing it even longer.

Also, IANAL but I think it's legal under GDPR, Recital 29:

> In order to create incentives to apply pseudonymisation when processing personal data, measures of pseudonymisation should, whilst allowing general analysis, be possible within the same controller when that controller has taken technical and organisational measures necessary to ensure, for the processing concerned, that this Regulation is implemented, and that additional information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject is kept separately. The controller processing the personal data should indicate the authorised persons within the same controller.

The fingerprint value is not PI because it can't identify one specific person, but only a device at best (if accurate enough between runs).
With enough smart people and good incentive (=adtech), I bet this can be abused to identify the person.

I upvoted you because I think it's a good question.

One problem is that nowadays, people often don't get presented with the entirety of the available evidence on politically charged questions (like gender equality). Whatever pundit or facebook friend will cherry pick the evidence that suits their agenda, even if that evidence has been thoroughly debunked. So while I agree with you that in the context of academic curiosity, everything that can pass peer review should be published, sometimes publishing something that you know will be debunked later could lead to a net societal loss and should therefore be avoided.

Then again, I'm very against silencing opinions, even for the "greater good" (within some framework I'm sure you could describe China's censorship as for the "greater good")

You still have to qualify for the home loan just the same as somebody who does have a down payment. The only difference is a higher monthly rate in the term amount since 100% of the principle is remaining. A bank's risk calculations don't change simply because the borrower has fewer liabilities.

To assume home loans are simply given away to everybody because the down payment is absent is ignoring how the process actually works.
