My point is that you are correct.

I'm not sure what the exact rule that was abused was, as I'm not familiar with Chinese law. I know that rule of law in China is not as strong as in many other countries, but I'm supposing that for small time stuff like this it's not too bad. I'm presuming that there is some element of the contract that she misrepresented herself on, such as an intent to travel clause or something of that nature. It may not be the case, but that would be an example of a legal theory under which her behavior would be fraudulent. The source article claims that she "... had repeatedly forged materials such as flight delay certificates, fabricated fictitious flight delays, ..." (Google translate output).
No, unvested RSUs are financial instruments for the same reason life insurance is. Your unvested RSUs accumulate cash-value over time and can be traded at the time of vesting. One might call them a derivative financial instrument.

Regular insurance doesn't accumulate cash-value and therefor is not a financial instrument.

The civil rights act has been on the books for 64 years; but has not been interpreted this way historically.
The reason this line of thinking isn't very compelling to many people is because it isn't very actionable. There are clear "positive" outcomes to "ripping someone off"...the outcome of voting is far removed, negligible, and possibly even has no effect at all (depending on where you live and what social group you're in).

So while I agree with you in principle, this approach is insufficient.

> If you feel wronged, pillaging shops is not the way to solve it.

Sometimes, it is. For groups of people with little to no political power, protesting, rioting, and causing a bunch of social upheaval is definitely a productive way to force other people to consider and address their grievances. There are a lot of negative tradeoffs, of course, but there's no denying that it's an effective way to raise awareness.

Otherwise, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
The dissenters are just saying that they existing law doesn't cover gays and LGTB etc. Not that are against it. Meaning the court cannot make, but just interpret, laws, and so on.

But no doubt if the law was passed today it would include "sexual orientation"
The union contract I was party to with a state university used one; seems like a no brainer when your staff is regionally concentrated.

EDIT: And rent is part of the national CPI as well. It just doesn't reflect narrow regional trends because why would it? Those are outliers, and not particularly relevant national news media, and even those news stories that do cover it would use the more specific Case-Shiller indecies to tell the story.
What do you call banning transgender people from the military and rolling back healthcare protections for the LGBT community if not anti-gay? Among many other decisions made by this administration.
Appreciate it, and I agree with many of your points.

I guess my main point -- phrased a bit more aggressively than needed -- was that if you have a huge community-sourced pile of data from multiple people in multiple parts of the country, relating to complex and chaotic situations that are unfolding as we speak, and all you need to dismiss it out of hand is finding a couple of things that you find suspect... well then you're always going to dismiss it.

Identifying, discussing and removing data points that don't belong is absolutely useful and fair. Taking a glance at a mountain of data, pointing out a couple pieces that you don't like and implying that the entire pile is rubbish is neither useful nor fair to me.

And I'm sorry for calling you dishonest, or at least heavily implying it. That was stupid and rash of me.

Destruction of Nuclear Bombs Using Ultra-High Energy Neutrino Beam (2003)
That is not true. It remains private property, even though some public regulations apply.

If opening a store to the public made it not private property, then well meaning rules like “no shirt, no shoes, no service” would have to be handled by local ordinance, which would be overly cumbersome.
"shooting legs"

No, you can't just shoot someone in the leg to disable them. You have very high chances of hitting main arteries anywhere (arms and legs).

Shooting a human being is not like it is in Hollywood movies. Once an officer pulls out his/her firearm and use it they know it means killing the person. That's why they go through other means of less lethal force before drawing.

Edit: Spelling
Here is the court's response to this argument[0]:

> "The employers contend that few in 1964 would have expected Title VII to apply to discrimination against homosexual and transgender persons. But legislative history has no bearing here, where no ambiguity exists about how Title VII’s terms apply to the facts. See Milner v. Department of Navy, 562 U. S. 562, 574.

> "While it is possible that a statutory term that means one thing today or in one context might have meant something else at the time of its adoption or might mean something different in another context, the employers do not seek to use historical sources to illustrate that the meaning of any of Title VII’s language has changed since 1964 or that the statute’s terms ordinarily carried some missed message.

> "Instead, they seem to say when a new application is both unexpected and important, even if it is clearly commanded by existing law, the Court should merely point out the question, refer the subject back to Congress, and decline to enforce the law’s plain terms in the meantime. This Court has long rejected that sort of reasoning. And the employers’ new framing may only add new problems and leave the Court with more than a little law to overturn." (emphasis added)

---

From my understanding, the court is looking at this law as it is interpreted in "plain terms", which is from the point of view of "how would an average Joe or Jill on the street understand x?", in this instance, x being title VII's concept of "discrimination based on SEX".

The way the court sees it, if you fire a GUY for liking GUYS, but don't also fire a GIRL for liking GUYS, that is different treatment based on sex.

They then state that if you respond, "Woah, that may be a valid interpretation of the words, but its never been APPLIED like that before", tough luck. Its the court's job to re-interpret and clarify rules and fully within their ability to do so.

(Edit: I re-read the opinion and found a different summary more appropriate.)

Interesting perspective. I imagine trails as graphs and stepping through a graph is like looking at the components of a time-domain representation of a signal so in my mind associative trails are a time-domain representation of thinking. But you might be onto something. I've been thinking about how to incorporate search into something I'm working on and search can be considered a frequency representation because finding and ranking documents is about finding the frequency components relevant to the query. If associative trails can incorporate search then that might be a good enough frequency-domain representation.

In the context of knowledge engineering I think "frequency" representation has to be dynamic and search is a very simple form of dynamism. But I might be thinking about this the wrong way and your view might be more correct, i.e. static content = frequency domain, dynamic content = time domain.
In your example you've managed to inadventantly weaken Title VII, not strengthen it.

Because "beyong an individual's control" would become a major legal fight, for example many, even in scientific literature, thought being LGBT was "within someone's control" as recently as into the 1970s, and certainly marrying someone of the same sex or changing your gender is "within someone's control" today.

So you've taken Title VII and cuts its legs out under the gies of making it more expansive. Plus "not relevant otherwise" would likely allow much more gender descrimination than the existing Title VII does.
Can you define homosexuality without invoking sex? Can you find a way to say "this person is straight" or "this person is gay" without bringing that individual's sex into the equation?

That's basically the argument. Discriminating against a woman who is in a relationship with a woman is discrimination against (certain) women, because if she were a male, in a relationship with that same woman, she would be treated differently.
Except that the majority opinion doesn't rely on someone identifying as trans, only acting in a way not socially in accordance with their biological sex.
Insurance is exactly the same thing as gambling.

For example, when someone buys an extended warranty on a new TV they are betting that it will break before a certain date (and after the factory warranty has expired). Most customers lose that bet and wasted their money.
> Practically they are the same

If they are the same then how can one way of stating it be discriminatory and the other not discriminatory? It's just word games. If the effect is discriminatory why does it matter how you wrote the law?

What about using neutrinos for interplanetary communication between ground bases on different planets? Since they are hard to be stopped by any kind of matter, it should be a good way of ensuring the link stays stable with only one base, instead of having 3 or 4 depending on Earth's location and day cycles.

Effective teaching of digital skills and issues surrounding the digital life must be prioritised.

The process behind this measurement is that the neutrino hits an electron in the detector. That electron will (with relatively high likelihood) travel in the same direction as the incident neutrino. The Cherenkov radiation produced by the electron is emitted in a cone shape along the direction of travel.

The photo-detectors observe the Cherenkov light and through some well tuned algorithms the electrons direction is "reconstructed". Super-K has no doubt spent significant effort improving & evaluating their reconstruction algorithms.

Once you have the reconstructed electron direction there's almost no hope that you can reconstruct the incident neutrino direction...but that's generally okay, b/c you can usually just assume the neutrino traveled exactly parallel to the electron (i.e. directly away from the sun). But that's sometimes wrong which is (partly) why you see a lot of "fuzz" around the solar core in the image.
I don't like their claims regarding removing tracking pixels. They still show the images, and the sender still knows I'm opening them, the only thing missing is my IP. Unless it is spam, the newsletter I signed up to usually has way more info than they'd get out of a single HTTP GET.
Blowing holes in miuntains is junior league for nuclear physics. The exact same factor that allows neutrinos to pass through a planet make them impossible to work with.

The detector here weighs 50,000,000kg, and still like 99.9..% of neutrinos pass though it without being detected - imagine that kind of signal loss in a data link.

This detector does not notice tiny amount of neutrinos produced at particle accelerators. It would have to placed right next to a 4GW nuclear powerplant to detect neurinos at any kind of reasonable rate.

The only man made source of neutrinos you could detect from another continent is a massive thermonuclear blast.

This is an interesting point—but, are you expecting Apple to move entirely to in-house GPUs? On the laptops that currently have integrated graphics, sure, but I'd expect the higher-end Macbook Pros and iMacs to still have AMD cards inside. Perhaps that just becomes a prerequisite for Bootcamp—there's probably a lot of overlap between the types of people who want Bootcamp and the types of people who buy Macs with dedicated GPUs.

(I do agree that they're more likely to just drop Bootcamp support.)

Point with the whole Hey thing, is that they've gone a step beyond the client of an email server. And that's the beauty of it. I am all in for Basecamp, and will definitely try Hey, as email has gone from worse to terrible for me over the past 5 years or so.
Not really. Even today, because of work, much of our socialization happens during the day time. For most of human history, the vast majority of people were asleep at night. So it's unlikely our night owl ancestors were terribly social.
I have been considering freelancing route for a while. And the reasons you gave above are same for me.

In addition, I work in a big corp where I spend a lot of time red tapes formalities but contractors in my team only have to worry about their code and they get paid almost double some employees.

My question is how did you get started? I know you said subcontracting, is it through a consulting firm or do you do it through your own firm?
Hey is a great option for someone wanting to start over with email, but the key feature is not available just yet: Custom domains.

The best thing you can do is separate your email address from the client — and own that address.

I trust Basecamp, but always a good idea to own your name online.

"We're paying people not to work. It's better than their salaries would get," Kudlow said.
Off the top of my head, a few reasons: After 60 years of growth we're hitting practical limits in terms of finding space for people. The technology we have created has made distance less important. And between outsourcing, tech oligopolies, and "blitzscaling" (where VCs burn money to destroy competition), it has lately become harder to jump ship and start a company.

Plus we're really talking about processes on different scales. Individuals moving elsewhere doesn't say much about the pace of creating companies to pursue novel innovations.

I'll also note that CA not having non-competes makes it easy for people to leave and start companies elsewhere. The real question is whether those new companies will create dynamic local scenes of their own, in the same way the Fairchildren did here. If they don't, and if Silicon Valley keeps being a hub of innovation, that's a great sign that banning noncompetes still matters.
All of these meaningless gestures to you add up over time. A single company supporting BLM was untenable when the NFL players were doing their protests but they continued. The current protests were considered meaningless but they continued and are effecting change in society and also in legislation. The small things actually matter and it seems this small gesture matters to a lot of people on here even as they continue to say it's meaningless because removing references to slavery actually isn't meaningless.
> I am not a lawyer but this sounds to me like the Supreme Court just admitted that while the text of the law doesn't include protection for gay or transgendered persons, they are going to retroactively "understand the term" as though it does.

The rest of the argument makes it very clear why the conservative textualist justice who wrote the opinion considers that discrimination against homosexual or transgendered people is based in part upon the biological distinction between male and female: the assumption that the sexual preferences or identity of the individuals in these cases would be entirely unobjectionable to the employer if their biological sex was different. They're very clear on this and go on for several pages about it.

You may or may not agree with this argument or its applicability to these specific cases, but cherry picking something from the beginning of their actual argument and substituting a completely different 'retroactively "understand the term"' argument of your own invention is disingenuous at best

The detector is deep underground (1000m) so it always goes through a bit of the earth. But they can easily select only the parts of the raw data which correspond to neutrinos going through the whole earth by only using detections which happened at night, local time. I guess they didn't mention this because it's obvious?

I'm not sure if this is a disconnect: you're calling this "not a lot", but I think it's exactly the "environment" and implicit guidance that the comment above is referring to.

I don't think the reminiscence IS pointless! We can't realistically replicate precisely this for every kid today, but we can look at the things that worked about it (plenty of free time with a powerful, interesting machine?) and try to replicate those.
