100% disagree. Male models have similar unhealthy standards, there's just no social expectation that they shouldn't.

A comment elsewhere lists common conditions for male models. They have to pre-pump before pictures so muscles are more visible, dehydrate to increase vascularity, etc. That comment doesn't mention the editing in post. Hairlines and teeth are corrected in post, hands are increased in size, forearms are warped to match the hands, waists are squashed to give an unrealistic hip/chest ratio.. pretty much an exact analog to what we do for female models.

I think it's a bit myopic to say this is an "all lives matter" scenario, we have social pressure to reduce the pressures put on women in the media. No such push-back exists for men (yet) despite body dysmorphic disorder affecting men and women equally.

I suspect that pretty much any discussion of politics is essentially political so under that ban this story probably shouldn't be discussed.
Yeah, it probably is. There's not really a nice process for making liquid fuel - hydrogen isn't a great fuel really. My understanding is that the biggest problem with making a practical liquid fuel is ironically getting the carbon. Hydrogen is in water, but carbon is only really in carbon dioxide - which is at very low atmospheric concentrations and so takes an incredible amount of energy to capture.

Ammonia would be easier (ubiquitous nitrogen everywhere), but isn't a particularly nice fuel either. At least it's easier to store than hydrogen.
He mentions this at some point. Youtube shifts back the audio track ever so slightly on upload. After 800ish uploads it is completly gone from the video.

There is no law of nature that says that SS systems must work the way most do: paying current pensions with current work. You can actually save current incoming money in a fund that will grow making everybody richer, instead of depending on future generations that can shrink, actually what's happening now.

The only reason it was implemented as debt is that it works from the start up. But it's possible to transition slowly from one model to the other one. There are political reasons why they're not doing that, but honestly, I think your parents are right to ask for what they were promised to receive. Maybe it's impossible to materialize the money now, but that doesn't make them wrong.
Tracking Michigan protesters raises privacy, Covid-19 spread questions
There is content on ZeroHedge that you just cannot find anywhere else.

In early January, ZH was publishing multiple articles a day on Covid-19 with details that neither the WHO, nor Chinese media, nor mainstream media were reporting. Novel economic indicators showing the virus impact / reports from crematoriums in Wuhan / reports from Chinese dissidents ...and all while HackerNews and Reddit was filtering the stories, telling everyone it was just the flu, and that masks don't work.

Even today, there are topics being discussed that aren't getting much attention anywhere else. Topics that critically inform some of the investment decisions we make managing our portfolio.

There's a lot of garbage on ZH, sure, so you need a mature filter, but maybe adults should be able to filter, right?

Maybe if you can't read stuff you don't agree with without being offended... maybe we should have a special protected internet for kids?
Your post highlights something I can't grasp; your post is explicitly and openly racist, yet you are complaining about racism. Why is that?

"People are recommending a book by an author." Fixed that for you.

I'll give you the BLM, that's an instance of necessary discrimination. The rest ... if the authors advice is wrong, criticise it, if the book or person does something bad, criticise it. Don't just pick out the skin colour of the author, or of someone recommending the book, and use that as a reason why it's bad. That's racist.

[Please note I haven't read the book, and do not know the author, and am categorically not promoting either.]

When you have more people, it gives everyone more data points to separate the individual from the group.

But when you are a single data point that represents a group, any personal characteristic can be easily construed/extrapolated as a characteristic of the group you are supposed to represent.

This leads to the feeling of "Am I being judged for myself or for my group?". This cuts for both the good and the bad stereotyping that your group might have.

Before anyone goes applauding Apple’s monopoly here, they should consider the developer experience as well.

There is absolutely no innovation from Apple’s side. The API’s are horrible and can barely do rudamentary things like server side cancelling of subscriptions. Sometimes they change logic in their webhooks without warning, and there is absolutely no support to speak of. We can’t even trigger refunds on the users behalf! We have to make due with really bad revenue reports, and App Store connect is incredibly slow to work with.

Market forces should push Apple to improve, but thanks to their power over their own market they don’t. In the end it will hurt users too.

I feel like a good approximation would be to just turn Bayesian priors on or off (or whatever is their equivalent of "push this widely popular thing, even if it's not supported by this person's specific interests learned from their usage data").

My anecdote: I recently made a Twitter account specifically to follow some artists and share some art. There is nothing in what I wrote on Twitter, or in who I follow or tweets I liked or in fact my IP-based geolocation (I'm not from US) that would say to the Algorithm that I'm in any way interested in American politics. On the contrary, for a long time I tried clicking "not interested in this" for anything related to politics. And yet, the AI timeline in that account is regularly swamped by US political drama I'm not interested in, can't do anything about and generally just makes me miserable.

My only explanation is that these posts get pushed to me because they are overwhelmingly popular overall on Twitter, and the high prior swamps out the negative evidence specific to my account.

Of course, the other, more sinister explanation is that it's a (human) editorial decision from Twitter to actively push this kind of content to people, but I find the technical explanation easier to believe.

And you would be correct. Apolitical media doesn't and can't exist. The existence of media is a political statement.

You can restrict partisan media, or identity politics media, or other subsets of politics. But politics as a whole is implicit in every action that involves the public.

MongoDB 4.4
I wrote to US Justice Department back in ~2013 to complain that I could not find the protocol documents to connect to my iPhone over USB. Specifically I was not willing to accept iTunes terms of service and wanted a workaround. Microsoft was required by consent decree to document all wire protocols, so I wanted to begin the process for Apple to so the same.

I got a personalized response from the Justice Department. The response said since the iPhone had closed protocols from the beginning, before it was dominant, there is nothing they could do to force opening up. While I didn’t like the outcome, I did understand it, and I was pleasantly surprised to get an actual response.

I suspect there is a similar argument for the App Store model. Apple never allowed side-loading apps. We may need new legislation to change this if we want.

Modern column-oriented relational data warehouses will handle time-series data fine in 95% of cases.

What "time-series" databases offer is more functionality around time being a primary component of the data. For example, automatic partitoning/sharding on time, various date handling techniques, better bucketing/gap filling/smoothing functions, data retention policies based on time, automatic rollups and aggregations, etc.

Some have custom data stores, some use key/value stores like Hbase or Cassandra, and others use relational databases. Using relational foundations offers more flexibility (like Timescale on top of Postgres) than the others like InfluxDB or OpenTSDB.
There is an underappreciated advantage to using generics in function signatures: they inform you about exactly which properties of your type a function is going to ignore (this is called parametricity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametricity)

For instance, if you have a function `f : Vec<a> -> SomeType`, the fact that `a` is a type variable and not a concrete type gives you a lot of information about `f` for free: namely that it will not use any properties of the type `a`, it cannot inspect values of that type at all. So essentially you already know, without even glancing at the implementation, that `f` can only inspect the structure of the vector, not its contents.

I dunno, that seems odd. Do you not want to know about bugs in your project to make it better? I realize people will submit a bug b/c they can't figure out how to implement something but that is worth being aware of real bugs in the code.

I guess my claim is that, if side-loading were common, then lots of apps which now play by the rules would (eventually) be replaced by ones that don't.

There are lots of iphone apps from companies I would never trust to install a real app on my computer. I'm glad they exist, and are so firmly kept under control. (And I'm sure their makers grumble about this.)

I also buy lots of things from companies I would never trust with my credit card details.
Hey HN! I needed to build a current time zones select box much like the one you can find on Google Calendar. Turns out Google Calendar uses a simplified time zone list. But such list is not really standard.

First, the actual text being displayed is not a list time zones but rather a list of UTC offsets and their names. For example the IANA time zone list has "America/Los_Angeles". But google calendar displays "Pacific Time - Los Angeles" which is good because most of the time people will email you saying "Let's have this call at 5PM PT"

Grouping time zones is tricky, you can group per offset in the same country safely, which is what I've done in this project.

The project is self updating given data from geonames using GitHub actions. There's an npm package you can use too.

Enjoy!
You do have a valid point for some of those apps (Browser, Mail, Maps, Calendar and even "Call"), but for others (Podcasts, Calculator, Camera, Photos, iMovie, News, Books, Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations) wouldn't just installing a new app suffice? Or are there some privileges that those apps have? (I personally don't think they should)

Asking because some of those Apple apps don't even come installed by default (office apps), and most can be deleted from the phone.
The question you ask is of the form, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" so I shall decline to answer it directly.

My blog post is quite proudly poking fun at the sanctimonious virtue signalling, as I see it, in the gesture of renaming the 'master' branch.

1/3 isn’t good enough, sadly.

Essentially, dex is usable for treating the sickest of the sick patients — those who are closest to becoming the unlucky 1% who die. If every patient who reaches that stage received it, we could potentially see the death rate drop, maybe to around .6%. Still higher than the flu by a lot. And, if every hospital is overrun with runaway infections, not everyone could even get their dex.

>Well, that the US presidential voting system is weird, is out of the question. But simply having a shorter campaign before election is no magic bullet either.

I disagree, before the election start here the politicians won't even be sure who will be candidate, then the flyers, walking trough the streets will not happen, there will be no debates on TV. When campaign starts soem peolpe get activated and they will try to promote their favorite party/ person - I am OK with that I would like an option to not see those posts, or an option to hide all posts from this person for the campagin duration. I think this persons think they are doing the right thing and informing people etc I just don't care and when I open FB once a week to see if there is some message for me I would like to see only relevant stuff.

Anyway, here in Romania I do not see many political posts outside electoral campaigns or when the government is doing some shity stuff and people are calling them out , or when some politician says a stupid thing and memes are created about their idiocy(now thinking about it if you have politicians that say a lot of idiotic things often you get a ton of political memes/satire ).

I respect you so much for writing to them. I feel like in the USA people really write to the authorities and congressmen and the like while in eastern Europe people never do such things because I guess we think the system is so broken there is not fixing it from within.

Acting on racial stereotypes (e.g. by treating someone as the superior or subordinate because of racially based assumptions) is indeed racist.

It means your behaviour is informed by racial profiling of an individual.

It means that you're not treating someone as an individual, but rather based on membership of a racial group he happens to be born in, which has statistical characteristics (e.g. lower chance of being a CEO) that do not necessarily have any bearing on the individual at all.

We define treating people distinctly like that because of their racial membership, as racist. That's really just the definition. You can have a discussion about whether you think racism is justified or not, and make your own value judgement. You could say that even if membership of a group does not necessarily say something, odds are that it can be a good way to infer things. And that's true, group-membership (e.g. your ethnicity) has many useful correlations from which to infer things. But to say it's not racist simply isn't factual, it is racist according to how we define it. What's left open for discussion is whether racism is okay or not.

Of course as a society we have indeed had that discussion and fortunately decided that racism isn't justified, not okay, and should be prevented as much as possible. I'm happy about that. Because even if group membership (e.g. race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, religion etc) has correlations with all kinds of outcomes we may wish to approximate, as a society we agree that it is only fair to judge people on their individual merits, and not on the group that they belong to.

I'll agree that Christians do not feel among "my people" unless they are in their particular church culture. Even going to a drastically different type of church can feel out of place. Put a Pentecostal in a traditional Greek Orthodox service and ask if it felt like home.

I'll also ask that atheists stop referring to religion as a choice. Atheists have as much of a say in whether God exists as anybody else. It would be patronizing to tell firm atheists that they chose atheism when clearly in the atheists mind, they are just reacting to reality. Likewise a theist doesn't have a say in whether an almighty creator exists and has opinions or not.

> how Rust would have saved you in that case, anyone could have returned 0 for the price instead of a proper type

You've missed the problem that was posed. It wasn't returning 0 to indicate an error, it was changing the error value from nil to 0. In rust that would've been a type change (from Option<int> to int). Because the context here was about how stronger type systems (like rust's) allow you to be more specific about your types, and thus many code changes that would not involve the type changing in other more weakly-type languages do cause a type change in rust.
we Canadians lament the lack of global leaders in business. We often instinctively say "the government ought to do this or that" (I do this too). Whereas Americans tend not to bring up the government at all -- they go straight to private capital and get it done.

But there are things that only governments can do, that actually are necessary. The Canadian government, as another poster has mentioned, failed to protect Nortel from IP theft from a rival nation-state. The Americans are much more willing to do this (I say willing, not always able).
I learned so many things from the trending page back in early days. A lot of useful stuff was there. Now, it is not.
