In the US we are still dealing with the legacy of bad fire management that dates back a century. It's certainly likely that what we needed to do then and what we need to do now are two different things, but the fact is we've been handling things badly for a very long time.

Blaming it all on management practices is probably not particularly productive. But neither is giving them a pass.

And isn't it still true that funding was cut for these programs or is that more disinformation? We can argue about whether any amount of funding would have prevented these fires but the lack of it is certainly making things worse, right?
So there was no policy for donation from controversial donors? That's itself a policy failure, since the purpose of large donations is reputation washing or access to social circles. MIT didn't know that? That's not believable.

Not sure how this is an example of over regulation.

Regulations goal is to reduce CO2 output. If a private company want to achieve that by funding a foreign electric car company to create a reduced total footprint, that’s their choice.

Ultimately the regulation achieves its goal, reducing CO2. That fact it’s done by increasing competition in the automotive industry can only be seen as an extra win.
This immediately raises several questions:
1) What are the legitimate concerns with only women teaching young children?
2) What is the evidence that men aren't interested in teaching young children? How can it be shown that the effect wasn't caused by discrimination?

When I was a student in physics, the campus network didn't extend to the student housing or off-site students, meaning you had to be on campus or in the library to access the portals to get papers.

I used sci-hub during my last year in school, but it was only just starting. It was far easier to use, plus I didn't have to compile a list of papers to fetch and wait until the next day to retrieve them.
Are you disagreeing with the argument in the article? Or is this just a comment on FB in general.

I agree they’re doing bad stuff but I think the argument in the article makes a very good point about how they used to be good at handling PR for their evil and getting away with it and now they seem to have lost that touch.

I doubt the level of evil has changed dramatically in the last 18mo but the PR reactions have.
I've been using 2 of them now for well over a year and they've been excellent. I fall asleep with them every night. It's a well engineered product. The only minor criticism I could give is the dimming functionality by spinning while in the charging platform could work a little better.
It helps more when the offsites are in another geographic location, like if for some reason you are loading something from the EU on a server in the US. Benefits can be marginal otherwise, so I just suggest people play around with it for any offsite requests they have.
The question you will need to answer is what you are living for. I do have children and their college fund is a rounding error on a lifetime of expenses, if I had to live life again and could choose to add another 100 years to the life I have or have children I would definitely have children again.
Do not feed the trolls.
Yes, and not to mention that even within those fields there are sub-fields where there are basically no males (e.g. paediatric nurses).

And of course, the persistent retirement gender gap (men and women retire at the same age and are expected to contribute as if they lived the same lifespans, but women live considerably longer).

Being able to skirt emission laws by paying a foreign company loophole is over regulation?
The Adwind Remote Access Trojan typically spreads by phishing e-mails.

Which is why you shouldn't believe everything you read.

By the way, this last sentence:

>Movies and other media files that don't run any scripts are ok if you're careful and know what you're doing, but installing pirated software is an invitation to get blackmailed and extored by darknet hackers.

Is entirely wrong. If you're worried about malware, you already know that it can come via video files as well as binary programs.

The rest of what you wrote is just spreading fear for notoriety's sake. Pirated software isn't an "invitation" to anything provided you have good anti-malware defenses and good security practices.
In NL as well. It is not rare at all to do a 'bouwkundige inspectie', that is definitely not a 30 minute affair depending on the kind of building. People doing their own inspections tend to overlook important things.
There are many anonymous charity givers.
I don’t want to get too deep into this - but people said the same thing about science and engineering. It’s a little bit sexist to suggest something like that, though I don’t think that was your intention.

I don’t really think there is any rationale that I’ve seen that convinced me that any job should have any gender ratio split, or that we should increase or decrease such ratios that were scientifically based. There are certainly social or political ones, however.
Wouldn't the same thing happen if new information comes in about a changing situation?
Thanks for the pointer. I took a look at the code and it’s different. Looks like Aether maintains several bloom filters, each link to a given time range. In contrast the paper builds a different kind of bloom filter where hash functions can overlap.
Just their PR?

Honestly, I can't blame a lot of these men for feeling that way and not wanting to feel like they're repressing themselves. In some ways Japan's gender roles can be quite conservative, and I wouldn't blame someone for saying it's not for them.
If root cause analysis isn't conclusive, you don't just not implement corrective actions... You act on the most likely contributing causes with no undue delay.
I didn't get that at all. What the author was against was Zuckerberg's defensive, belittling tone in his post "explaining" why he's meeting with people with conservative viewpoints.
A patent is only worth what you're willing to pay in legal fees to defend it.

It is, because we know how unstable Germany and Japan were primarily from hindsight - information unavailable to someone evaluating a threat to the US in 1933.
It's their fault. They haven't build an electric Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Ram Trucks or Ferrari.

Electric Wrangler/Gladiator with a smaller cross-over version would sell like hot cakes.
Fwiw our PnP implementation is now much better than a year ago (it was still experimental, after all!). Expect to see more in this space in the next few weeks...!
I’d argue that’s an improvement, their previous PR regime sounded like the Soviet information ministry.
If it works precisely as you say, then most likely the last committer wins, and that's bad.

The most hopeful case is that there is ONE place that isn't 'strictly append only', and that's, for lack of a better term, the 'main pointer'. Which hash is the actual state of the app as it should be compiled and deployed right now?

Then THAT conflict, together with tooling to diff 2 different hashes, should swiftly lead to figuring it out.

But then you're still kinda hosed; how do you merge 2 nodes? It sounds like you can't; you can only pick one. With git, you can do a text merge.

I get the beauty of AST based storage and reasoning, but, hey, trying to use git to merge 2 versions of a word doc together is also a disaster, so it sounds like it'd be the same here.

In that sense, unison is worse than your average (text based) language, not better.

That's not actually a downside though; it's different. If I demerited the language for this, that's akin to complaining about a delicious roasted bell pepper because it doesn't taste anything like an onion.

But I do find it a spot irksome that the otherwise well written tour is implying something here that doesn't appear to be true. Perhaps I'm merely misinterpreting it and reading more into that sentence than is implied.
Oh this is really cool! I've been thinking how interesting this could be to backport to NES or C64. I'm guessing there isn't too much in the game happening that couldn't probably happen on those systems with minor modifications.
> Facebook is just transitioning to becoming the digital equivalent of an oil company.

Seems more analogous to a tobacco company. Some people think it's bad and they use it anyway.
Well, she thought that he'd marry, and stay faithful to her. She knew the deal, should be happy with child support...the rest is bitter grapes
Haven't we had fires caused by people driving their vehicle through dry grass and the cat is hot enough to ignite it?

Cigarette, lightning strike, shitheads with fireworks, foolish campers, once the bomb is primed it doesn't really matter who pushes the button. When it goes off, watch out.
I wonder how many DMVs do this. I bet its way more than people think.

I went to a tire retailer website and they were able to look up make/model car by having me put in my license plate number. I thought that was pretty creepy - if that have that, what else do they have?
There's got to be a business in here somewhere. A company that acts as a middleman that sorts through all your financials for you, does all the communicating, drafts all legal paperwork and just gives you quick regular updates through the process. That way you can keep running your company during all of this madness.

I wish I knew more about selling and acquiring companies since it seems like a business well worth launching if it's feasible, which I don't even know if it is.
>many men can have children in their 70s

Just because you can have an erection and produce sperm at 70 doesn't mean you can have children and if you do they'll most likely suffer from down syndrome or other conditions.

Having kids after 45 as a male carries risks for the children as well.
Interesting link thanks! I guess the pertinent part is :

I did not tell Science how credentials were donated: either voluntarily or not. I only told that I cannot disclose the source of the credentials. I assume that some credentials coming to Sci-Hub could have been obtained by phishing.

Here's what I think possibily happens : credentials are phished, with Scihub as one of the main "customers", alongside other groups or they are put into the (semi)public domain. They are then used for other nefarious purposes by non-scihub third parties (more phishing, network access etc).

Would university accounts still be phished without Scihub? Absolutely! Would the volume be so high? I'm not so sure. Plus it still causes headaches for fellow university users of the phished account if the proxy gets blocked... especially as publisher customer services are utterly terrible and institutions could be weeks without proxy access to one of the "biggie" publishers!
I was wholly unsurprised to see that last tweet coming from someone on the Hillary 2008 campaign. It reads just like the kind of defensive use women as human shields to deflect criticism attitude that came from the campaign when faced with a real primary challenge both in 2008 and 2016.

Homeowner association. They tell you the color you can paint your house, if your mailbox has a chip in the paint they can fine you and if you don't pay lose your house, a major story where a proud military veteran wasn't allowed to fly an American flag, someone got in trouble over the color of their swing set they bought for their kids, etc.. You pay a monthly fee to them. Some provide services like a pool, clubhouse, some are gated, etc... Some like them, some don't like... Probably depends on the community but some are over reaching. Some even try to tell people it's illegal to have satellite television service too, because they think the dishes look ugly but the Over-the-Air-Reception Devices (OTARD) law overrides that.

I'm not really a huge fan of HOA's personally, but maybe if I was a millionaire with a mansion some are nice, but some HOAs are just regular people with like 100K home values. So not only do you have the city telling you what you can do with your property, you have people who couldn't get elected to a real city government telling you what you are allowed to do with your property on top of what the city and state says.

Right now the only HOA I think I'd want to live at is the Golden Oaks one, which is a real estate development at the Walt Disney Resort, but not rich enough yet for that... Can dream I guess haha. One of the Walmart executives has a house there though, so super wealthy people. I think a lot of it is just vacation homes, but I'd like it year around. But only because of the location and being a huge Disney fan, otherwise I hate HOAs in general but maybe some other areas I might be a fan but in general I rather live without one... So many HOA horror stories online. but if I was some millionaire, living in a gated community I think I'd feel safer.
Anyone knows any details of the ruling? This article mentions nothing about the actual court case.
Fiat have made mostly terrible cars and could have done what Tesla did but chose not to.

My concern, though, is that Fiat get to continue making mostly terrible ICE cars thanks to what feels like green washing.

I would love to see Apple Music for papers. I refuse to use Sci-Hub for its blatant piracy, but the basic idea really is what academia needs! We just need to figure out how to make it legal - like the music and movie industries did.
I think if we were starting from scratch that having just one pedal for velocity/acceleration control in a vehicle would be better than having a gas pedal and break pedal. It is nice to have the vehicle slow down when you let up on the gas pedal and not have to move over to the break pedal. My Honda 550 motorcycle was much more fun to drive hard in the country than my Kawasaki 650. With the Honda the engine breaking was sufficient all most all of the time while on the Kawasaki I would have to engage the break before most curves.
With the numbers mentioned in the article, it's nowhere near sufficient to ban smoking in bars or other areas. It should be permanently banned from everywhere, and production should be ceased. Let's see them pass legislation to do that.

And prohibition was later repealed when they wanted the tax money, even though it had overall health benefits to society.
SV has already fizzled out. The two biggest SV successes of recent times (Google and FB) sell advertisements and surveillance services under the guise of "connecting people" or "information discovery".

Its hot new bets are in food delivery and e-bike sharing. And even after sinking in billions there, they can't figure out how to turn a profit.
I recently honeymooned in Colombia and my wife and I used Uber in Bogotá. If I recall correctly, it was never exactly ‘legal’ but still quite common and cheap.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see another local company (Rappi perhaps?) try to enter the ride hailing market there in response. Unfortunately for taxi drivers, I don’t know if protectionist policies will do anything but prolong their slow decline.
Best description I ever heard: “The job of the manager is to eliminate uncertainty.”
Playing video games, watching porn, etc.? At least a lot of the articles I see about men leaving (or never entering) the workforce - entertainment seems to be the main way of filling up their time.
There is also the Haystack group at MIT CSAIL, which has done some interesting stuff over the years:

It's not "sexist history", it's just that men are better at (almost all) sports. Male football is simply more exciting to watch (I imagine, for broader audiences... it's boring to me, in general). For modeling, it's the reverse.
not sure why that matters even if it's true their marketing costs are high. if it ends up costing significantly more then what value are you providing me as a customer for selling something that is 2x more than what I can get anywhere?
1.) Role models - little boys mimic men cause little kids are gender obsessed. E.g. little boys won't think of being teachers if not seeing them.

2.) There is huge bias and stigma against boy acting girl-like. So yes, at minimum little boy playing with baby will be mocked more then girl playing with car.

One of the arsonists caught was a firefighter, who's presumably plenty educated on the risks of starting a fire.

The problem with arsonists starting fires isn't education, it's crazy people, and you'll never completely get rid of crazy people.
Don't be afraid to get in touch with Avantek to ask what you need to know. They're very friendly, in my experience.
I don’t think it’s wrong to blame forest management in part, the problem is the clear motivated reasoning to exclusively put forward any other reason which allows the commenter to exclude climate change as a major driver.

It is genuinely bizarre to see the arson talking point being laid on so thick coming off the back of a year with the lowest rainfall and highest temperatures on record.

One of the other things those CO2 regulations did is push companies towards producing and selling diesel cars that emitted less CO2 but more other pollutants like NO2 and particulates that caused direct and immediate harm. Which lead to dieselgate and then this: "Compliance has gotten harder for automakers as consumers have shifted toward gasoline cars, which emit comparatively more CO2, following Volkswagen AG’s diesel-emissions scandal that first erupted in 2015."

So I guess this isn't so much a footgun moment as a whole series of them.
That is likely true, though there are some special, farm only ways to be employed such as the H-2A Visa of which there were 2.4 million in 2018 if I'm reading this right: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-labor/#h2a.

My guess is the biggest reason that non-farm labor is tracked is because someone decades ago decided to do so and now if we want to do longitudinal comparisons we need to track the same thing.

It's an interesting enough statistic since there are areas that are very heavily agricultural and areas with very few farms and probably not as much mixing between the two compared to (for instance) manufacturing and clerical jobs which may happen in the same building.
My lower class upbringing is showing, is that what an investment bank does?
How does breaking up Facebook change anything in this context? Unless you're suggesting that the government seize and shut down the facebook domain and brand in addition to breaking up Facebook.

It's a bad comparison, but for a different set of reasons.

Wildfires aren't part of the fauna. This is true. But even without humans, there are wildfires. When wildfires happen, they create a new playing field for species to inhabit. Moreover, life has adapted over the course of millions of years to a low number of wildfires i.e. the spread of a species over a large territory whereas wildfires may be incidental and localized. The adaptability of a species to wildfires - amongst other things - is what defines it's resilience.

The difference here is that the size and scope of these fires is far beyond the resilience of entire regional ecosystems. When this is over, what is lost won't return. It will be replaced by different species - plants and animals - that might not be as diverse or rich.

We can safely assert that wild cats are inherently part of the ecosystem. However, if a billion animals being killed a year by cats, well, that's not due to the mere presence of cats as a species. But because of the overwhelming number of cats in the ecosystem. And that number is anything but normal.

Cats are domesticated animals. The main reason why there are so many out there is simply because society tends to keep and protect cats. Cats and humans live in a symbiotic relationship. And that's why cats thrive as a species. Much to the detriment of other species.

Put more poignantly, nobody would argue against the need for pet owners to keep their dogs to a leash and their pet snakes and other predators locked in cages. But cats are the major exception. There are no laws that restrict home owners to let cats go out of the door and roam the neighborhood killing each any small bird, mammal or reptile around. Whereas other wild species who espouse pretty much the same behavior - rats, foxes, mice - are seen as pests.

And so, we can safely assert that neither mega wildfires nor the strain cats impose by their numbers are natural occurrences. In both cases, they are manifestations causes by irrational human behaviours.
The right way to implement a policy like that is to say that supervisors are not permitted to have relationships with their subordinates. That way, if such a relationship develops against the rules, it's clear upon whom the consequences should fall: the supervisor.

Supervisors get more money and power from the organization than their subordinates, so it's fair for the organization to have higher expectations for the behavior of the supervisor than the subordinate.
Also, note that it doesn't really matter how high your blood pressure goes when you're exercising or anyway being active. It's supposed to rise with activity.

What matters is what your blood pressure is at rest. I think of it as a baseline of sorts. If your blood pressure is elevated at rest, then you have hypertension. If it's elevated when you're running, then you have physical activity.
Also remember Kongregate (in its early days at least, before every game was a MMORPG clone or tried to sell you something).
