Domestic Violence is about power and control caused of the DV Perpetrator/Aggressor towards the survivor. DV perpetrators use a myriad of tactics to control the relationship with the "victim": financial, physical, emotional, children, and sex.

While the "victim" does bear some responsibility, it's usually with regards to how they are unable (or unwilling) to end a relationship with a DV perpetrator.
> The problem wasn’t his citations. It was the conclusions he drew from the citations and the policy proposals that he made in his document.

Right, so you personally disagree with his conclusions, thus it must be "problematic".

Unless you're going to elaborate as to what specifically you find problematic, there's not really much to discuss here and this is a pretty useless discussion.
In the case of Trump, my impression is he purposefully set out to undo anything Obama had done as some sort of weird, childish, vendetta. That aside, in general though I think these things happen because rulers are looking to reduce taxation for the rich, and things like "pandemic response team" are pretty well hidden from public view, and can usually blagged ("we kept 10 million face masks as an emergency reserve" fading to mention that's a day's worth, say, or that they were out of date, or not the right type of mask).

> To maintain morale, World War I censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. Newspapers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name "Spanish" flu.

So yeah, I would say the US definitely suppressed news of the 1918 flu.

> Is there truly a common thread between these various emotions that ties them all together as neuroticism, or is neuroticism an arbitrarily chosen set of emotions?

Yes. It's something that shows up in one specific factor analysis as one of five dimensions (i.e. parameters) that effectively summarize your answers to a bunch of questions about personality. Different analyses/models come up with different parameterizations, e.g. the HEXACO model has six parameters, with the Emotionality factor picking up the bulk of "Neuroticism" from the Big 5, but some ending up under Honesty-Humility (reversed) or even under Agreeableness (reversed)!

> 2) unmotivated parents with great school funding = demonstratably bad outcome

Demonstrably not true. There are plenty of people with poor parental role models who did well in school and broke the cycle.

Technology drops the threshold that the disadvantaged students have to overcome. Whereas before they needed to be lucky enough to have a great school library or transportation to the municipal libraries every time they wanted to go, now they just need internet access. Governments and schools can't do anything to give the kids motivation or better parents, but they can work on the technology angle and remove more barriers to success. There will never be a single solution to the myriad of problems facing education - this is marathon that requires solving one problem at a time.

You're missing the point. America has seen 5 centuries of bogus arguments of the form, "the unequal status quo is in fact fine because biology". As I said right in the comment you're replying to, this happened with gender just as much as with race.

Given that these arguments have been consistently proven wrong but always come back in a different form, the 21st-century versions should be carefully scrutinized to see if they're the same politically motivated reasoning. And we should never pretend that they're not political, however much they're cloaked in objectivity. Indeed, people who value science should especially object to political argument wrapping itself in a lab coat.
attributing underrepresentation of woman in STEM probably needs a significantly higher level of evidence than just "biological differences"
People care. That's the point.
Well, knowing how to “play with the other children”.

Social skills that work with a variety of people are something you can’t get by studying alone.

That said, it doesn’t take years and years to learn.

On the other hand, there have been numerous studies conducted by educators regarding what to do with the “best and the brightest”. Above all, we have learned what NOT to do. What you don’t do is make too big a deal out of it. The label rapidly becomes their identity and they hold onto it for dear life. This translates into becoming highly risk averse. In time this means they get passed by the average students who don’t have such fear of “no longer being considered a genius” and happily take more risks.

We know a few points
* don’t talk about it much, it’s just “fun stuff” the kid is doing
* let him do it. Kids learn to hate school that makes them feel bored
* let them ease out or drop out if it without guilt or warnings about how their future will be average

Being “gifted” is one thing. Having the self drive to show something for it over a period of years is another.
That’s certainly a fair argument.

It’s unclear exactly what the limits of such a forum are; if I were to hypothetically respond with a pro-nazi screed, I think that most people here would be fine with me being fired. But there’s certainly a gray area.

Damore should have just got a new job. I think I agree with this analogy.
I upgraded from a 2015 MacBook Pro to a 2019 16”. I heard there were tons of keyboard issues in the years in between. Aside from that, I stick with MacBooks because of the solid quality and macOS. I can’t work on Windows. I’ve tried again and again. I do have a windows machine for gaming, but programming and design work, the short cuts, fluidity, and general experience working in iTerm2 with multiple desktops is top notch. There’s nothing really to “fix” or make better. All my software on macOS is also top quality. I don’t know of a replacement for Omnigraffle or Omnifocus.

I had a recent fun project where I needed to install Python and a bunch of Python tooling and libraries (Jupyter, matplotlib, numpy, pandas, etc). Setting PATH on Windows is one of the most bizarre things. And even then I could not get everything to work. There were weird version conflicts, and this was all trying to use the Linux Subsystem for Windows which was insanely slow.

Why can’t I just update one file on my file system from a text editor to update path configuration?
The problem was not just "unpopularity". Many people at Google have surely said many unpopular things, and Google didn't fire them.

Blackjack is played against the casino, not other players, and the casino plays robotically, under a simple fixed strategy that is known to the players. There isn't any reading of the opponent to begin with. The only reason the casino has an advantage, despite having a fixed, non-optimal strategy known to the players, is because it acts last, and the players may lose the hand before the casino takes its turn.

There is a basic strategy to learn that is "optimal" about when to take each action, but it is easily memorized, and I wouldn't call it much of a skill element. Now, if you track cards, you can claw back a little bit of the advantage by varying the strategy dependent on what cards remain, but going very deep on this is a lot of work for not a lot of payoff.

You get a much bigger payoff by simply betting big when the deck is in a favorable shape, and continuing to follow roughly basic strategy.

Fixed betting as described is exactly the same as varying your bets, in both cases you're playing roughly basic strategy with varied bets, it's just that in fixed betting your vary your bets by having the big better change tables rather than by having an individual change bet sizes, because this is harder to detect.
Agree 100%. It's a grind at best even with a team. Casinos love card counters because by far a large number of them make errors and can't overcome the tactics to thwart card counting. They make a lot of money off of the card counting fantasies. These articles get popular every time there's a recession.

Not only that, but not as many Mac users are gaming on their laptop, which is a strong reason to need good benchmarks. If I'm buying a laptop it's really the user experience and battery life that I care about. Any CPU heavy tasks I can do on my desktop computer or an EC2 instance.

Having multiple branches that depend on a shared branch does get a little messy though. How does magit make this flow better?

This is false.

Why are people claiming Google solicited his feedback? Is that how the news was reported? If it was a feedback, it wouldn't have been written in a Google Doc, and shared in an internal mailing list.

It was written during a time when diversity in tech was the topic du jour. The mailing list was for political discussion / unpopular opinions, and was known for heated debates. It didn't draw a lot of discussion at first. A few weeks later, the memo somehow made its way to the internal meme site, where a majority of Googlers frequent. That's how the whole company learned about it and how the issue blew up.
My point is that reported data is generally very unreliable, since there’s all kind of incentives that bias the results.

As for that generating happiness, think of drugs for instance, that you personally want them doesn’t mean they’re good to you.
The killer is (lots of) Docker containers. My work MBP has 16 GB of RAM and at times I'm running a dozen Docker containers, 1-2 IDEs, a couple Chrome tabs, and Slack. I don't usually hit 16 GB, but I do go significantly past 8 GB.

This is for (very large) web app(s).
I would hesitate to say that with just a bit of tech access, kids can break the cycle. I lived with parents who were educationally poor and never involved in my school work. I saw other people with similar backgrounds as I had (maybe even more educated parents) and they never broke the cycle.

I think it takes something special to truly break the cycle and move upwards. I don’t see many people do it. Then again, I came from one of the worst schools and towns in my state and now live in SV where everyone was a rich kid. I check Facebook to see if any alumni from my HS ever got anywhere. Nope...

I find using HTML for HTML much more pleasant.
> A nice idea, but my experience working with poor kids has led me to believe lack of access to resources is not the biggest issue these kids face. The biggest issue is lack of good parents.

Very nearly everyone in, around, or who has even remotely studied the field knows that social context (which includes but is not limited to parents) is the biggest issue for these kids in general. That's not even remotely controversial.

But, aside from the fact that most of that is outside of the scope of school district authority to address, the WiFi busses aren't even in theory about fixing their general long-term issues, but are to mitigate the degree to which the gap gets worse as schools temporarily switch to online instruction due to COVID-19.

I dunno why so many people keep trying to beat the casinos. Casinos hire professionals whose job it is to track card counters and collusion , as well as advanced security systems. All these signals an gestures are obvious to those whose job it is to detect them. Certain patterns of behavior become obvious to the trained eye.
I read somewhere that the chip used in Star Fox (SuperFX) is less an "accelerator" but rather "becomes" the main chip because it hogs the main bus, so the SNES's own CPU can't really do a lot. OTOH the SuperFX is not really a "game in silicon" but just a better CPU that has built-in fixed-point arithmetic including multiply/divide. All this is just from memory, so please take it with a grain of salt.

The wifi provides an opportunity for someone outside of the home to "babysit" the kids. In can provide improvement at the margin, if managed well.
