To be honest, I'm not quite sure of the point you're trying to make here.

Yes, in most contexts in present western society, male/female and man/woman are interchangeable (and certain groups have a vested interest in maintaining this state). There are however contexts in which they are not. Trans people (and allies) need to be cognizant of these things to be able to discuss the differences.

If your argument is that to an observer, "trans women are women" could be interpreted as "trans women are biologically female", then sure one could interpret it that way. But in the context of discussions about trans people, women and female mean different things, which is why "trans women are women" is the phrase, and not "trans women are biologically female".

That dictionaries haven't caught up is kind of disappointing, but if you look at the wiki page, it mentions trans women at the end, which seems kind of strange to do in the context of biological female-ness.

I'll also note that because it's so common to conflate the two, that I try to explicitly add the "biologically" modifier when discussing bio sex. in contexts not talking about trans groups, I'm sure I've conflated the terms without noticing.

Toyota is a vastly superior manufacturer in every conceivable manner. Why do you think Tesla will be able to take on the rest of the industry with inferior manufacturing?

Even if what you say about EVs is true, Toyota will be able to manufacture them faster, safer and cheaper. As will some other manufacturers.

I also don't see how being in a commodity race-to-the-bottom industry like batteries and solar will help them.
> Don’t fake, just make.

There's nothing fake about this though. I work at a thriving startup and we share videos of upcoming features and prototypes with customers and prospects pretty regularly.

Ultimately, we want to build the product our customers want and our customers want us to build them a product they want. This type of stuff lets us iterate significantly more quickly.

A designer can mockup complex features in hours/days. Dev time would be days/weeks. In a week, we can iterate with a customer to get them a feature they want. It'd take months to "just make it" and get to the same point.

> naming things

There are two hard problems in computer science: naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors.
Well, one point to note – according to your [2], the primary flight computers on the 777 are by GEC Marconi. The primary flight computers on the 737 are by Rockwell Collins. So, the CPU choices by GEC Marconi don't necessarily have any relevance to the CPU choices of Rockwell Collins.

Rockwell Collins didn't build the primary flight computer of the 777, but they did build the 777 autopilot (which is a separate computer system). The 777 autopilot and the 737 flight computer appear to have some shared technical heritage, including both using the FCP-2002 CPU (whatever it actually is).

Deaths per 1M population are significantly higher in Italy(577), Spain(607) and the UK(654) than they are in Sweden(539). And Sweden have been a lot more honest in counting than most countries.

There seems to be a drive to discredit the inalienable human rights approach, in this case by implying it was a financial decision; but i have to say i am impressed by the way they have handled this situation, the only response on earth that involved treating their citizens like adults.

There is excess mortality in Sweden https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

It is not the highest in Europe but it is very noticeable. In contrast, the surrounding countries of Finland, Norway and Denmark show almost nothing.

As for which figures to take, we don't know, they are all wrong. Each country has a different way of counting depending on what they think is important.

For example hospital deaths are very consistent. Hospitals generally have good reporting, testing, etc... good to see daily evolution, but it is an underestimate. Recorded deaths from nursing homes and at home are less reliable. Sometimes, there is no testing, so we are not 100% sure it is COVID, there may also be delays. The picture is now more complete but you lose a bit of consistency. Excess mortality reporting can also have long delays, and it doesn't care about COVID at all, so things like behavior change under lockdown can have an effect, the advantage is that it is the least likely indicator to miss anything.

And if you look at all the numbers, we can split Europe into the bad (Italy, UK, France, Spain, ...) and the good (Norway, Finland, Denmark, ...). And by all metrics, Sweden is in the "bad" camp.
Light-harvesting wheel reinvented by chemists copying bacterium
Agreed. The reason its not that way is that schools are mostly state-run daycare programs, setup so that parents can work, not a genuine implementation of skill building.
TCO isn't really important. It's pretty rare that you ever need to use recursion in FP. the vast vast majority of the time, folds, scans, and maps should be sufficient.
Presumably round-robin DNS. A DNS response would only return a handful of servers, of which the client will itself only pick one at random for the duration of the session.

Now this approach has drawbacks (DNS responses are cached, and the DNS record picked initially by the client will typically be cached until the app/browser is restarted) but if they are acceptable to you then it's an easy, proven solution.
Not sure how you get that number, but if you didn't isolate, wouldn't your chance of dying higher?

So, maybe for a professional it’s easier. I feel that way about making iOS apps — better time to start than ever!

But there’s almost a ‘choice paralysis’ today. People have so many options they don’t know where to start.

Not sure anything comes close to opening up BASIC or HyperCard and just making something, and seeing the results immediately.

Agreed on the fundamentals — as a mostly self taught programmer, it took me a long time to learn and understand the power of computer science concepts.

> Everyone LOVES to make Office documents. Can't write a memo without Word!

This reminded my of when we gathered project managers from virtually all continents to define the company's global PM methodology. We had chosen Teamwork our PMS and the backbone for the methodology. The product has a nice text notes feature the group could be using to document anything to the favor of "seachability". But hey, someone said "we can only make a good impression with customers if we use Office documents". So instead of using simple text notes we ended up flooding the system with 3 trillion Office documents. Unreal.
OK, I misunderstood one thing. The question wasn't about Taiwan's response to Covid (which WHO had better be able to answer, politics or no politics), it was about Taiwan joining WHO. That is a political question.

But:

> As for whether they're part of China - that's also a political thing.

Yes and no. No, they are not currently part of China. You have two separate governments, neither of which is subordinate to the other. Therefore neither one is part of the other. That's the de facto reality. It's not ambiguous, it's not subjective, and it's not open to interpretation.

But yes, it's political in that both sides claim a de jure unity - they just disagree about who's in charge of it. And it's political for everybody else, because they can't side with Taiwan without upsetting China, and they aren't willing to upset China.

But for China to try to pretend that the de facto situation is other than what it is... hey, we aren't blind, China. We know what the reality of the current situation is, no matter how much they try to pretend that it's something else.

It’s somewhat fuzzy what qualifies as RTS, but Dune II was much closer to what we think of as RTS than anything before it.

The Dune II interface was the template for subsequent RTS designs Some key elements that first appeared in Dune II and later appear in many other RTS games include:

A world map from which the next mission is chosen
Resource-gathering to fund unit construction
Simple base and unit construction
Building construction dependencies (technology tree)
Mobile units that can be deployed as buildings
Different sides/factions (the Houses), each with unique unit-types and super weapons
A context-sensitive mouse cursor to issue commands (introduced in the Mega Drive/Genesis version)

Facebook’s 2019 Sustainability Report
This is an underrated point. The problem with AWS and those massive services is that they are "alive" and continuously evolving. In most cases it's fine and you don't notice, but when it goes wrong it can affect you and you have no control over when that is likely to happen.

In contrast with in-house infrastructure, you can make your stack as simple or as complex as you'd like depending on your needs (a lot of projects can get away with a handful of physical machines all configured manually, no Terraform/Kubernetes/etc) and you control when you make drastic changes that risk breaking things so you can plan them during a time when downtime would be the least damaging to your business.

this is a risk/benefit analysis, we are talking about tradeoffs

would I trade getting out of six months of quarantine if the price was the chance of 1/100,000 of dying. Of course I would.

I contrasted that to the fact that I frequently take on much higher risks of dying (mountaineering) for a lot less payoff (it is fun).

(the 1/100,000 is an estimate based on existing data for my age group)

I revisit this video every now and then.
None of this is really that surprising though. Progressive cancel culture is an American phenomenon and was a massive point of criticism when YouTube announced whatever their volunteer moderator program is currently called. Google is a political platform for its employees and the only time we see that not be true is when the activism tries to jump into a domain that requires trustworthy employees like government contract work.

Traditional media can overcome this because they have these things called budgets which independent creators lack until they make it big. Traditional media can simply throw money around until they make it on the board. What we're seeing isn't an accident of some algorithm, it's what happens when a company is so saturated with children that it simply can't operate as a creatives-first platform.
I think it was the wording. You said not acceptable and acceptable for the same exact thing. In this last post it was all deaths should be avoided, but that some deaths are acceptable. I think everyone can agree that all deaths _should_ be avoided, and probably those same people would agree that it would be impossible to attain that goal... specifically for Covid.
TikTok quits Hong Kong as U.S. giants suspend processing data requests
Very cool for multiple reasons! The first is that it seems a lightweight and straightforward approach to launch first and thereafter iteratively improve, e.g. using Zoom to push live video to Cloudflare. Secondly the content, while all Cloudflare-related, seems useful to learn about internet infrastructure, etc.

Perhaps the elephant in the room is "what's next"? Seems like it could at least become a Twitch competitor, if not also to YouTube if Cloudflare is able to figure out the monetization, privacy and copyright aspects.

Ask HN: What functions/forms should all lisps have?
I'm writing a lisp and I'm curious if there's a consensus on what constitutes a "minimum lisp". I'm not planning to implement the full extent of Common Lisp, and probably not even Scheme, but I'd like mine to have all of the basics, whatever "the basics" are expected to be.

Any resources or suggestions on this? So far I've got car/cdr/cons, list, all the basic math operators, print, lambda, and/or/not, basic equality and numeric comparisons, eval, define, begin (block), cond, and if.

Yes, but police with guns are pretty effective at overriding constitutional protections in an emergency situation.

I don't see how this is an argument against giving it directly to families/individuals rather than businesses. The reason the government has an interest in subsidizing payroll is to make sure the employees don't suffer due to not having income, so the question is why not just give 75% of the allocated directly to individuals anyways (since it's supposed to be used for payroll anyways), and then just have businesses apply for the non-payroll portion? If anything, that would be _better_ for small business owners; they'd get money as individuals from the 75% to keep rather than using for payroll, and then they would still get as much non-payroll money as they would before from the remaining 25%. The only other differences from what I can see are that giving it as payroll preserves existing salaries rather than distributing equally to all individuals (which could be a pro or a con depending on your views) and potentially enabling businesses to use the money for things that they're not supposed it, in which case it ends up being a loan that they have to pay back.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by iterators, but I agree that TCO isn't that important. Like you said, most of FP is the traversal of collections. Map, scan, and foldr/foldl should be sufficient to solve the vast majority of problems.

If you find yourself reaching for TCO, it usually means that you're mission a collection combinator.

I actually find myself using TCO really only when grinding leet code problems in order to achieve n, log n, or n log n complexity. In the real world, it's rarely ever needed. And if it is, you could always use a free monad instead.
Huh, I didn't really see that. I did some cursory searches and haven't found a lot of banks.

It's not too bad to formalize :) The [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_iteration](wikip... article on fixed point iteration) gives lip service to everything working fine in arbitrary metric spaces. It's easy to define a useful metric between functions (e.g. via integrating their difference, ignoring edge cases like occasional pointwise differences since a more careful treatment can give a presentation where those don't matter for the problem at hand), so the same kinds of theorems that work with cos(x) on the reals also work with differential operators on function spaces.

Intuitively this makes sense, I've seen an out-sized number (compared to their market-share) of enterprise products hosted on Azure. To the point where I'm usually surprised at how low their share is. I spend a lot of time working with large companies, so one way to square this would be large companies being more likely to use Azure than the average.
This is meaningless. There were no economic gains expected, just avoiding a greater disaster. Given that Swedish economy is fairly integrated with its lockdown neighbours, it would be surprising if there were any economic gains; instead, it is probable its neighbours benefitted from Sweden having avoided lockdown.

Also, the higher death rate is normal and acceptable, in a tradeoff against deaths caused by confinement and the unnecessary prolongation of the epidemic. Herd immunity will arrive earlier, and lockdown-caused deaths will perhaps make Swedes survive more and better.

Now vote me down.
Of course. :) These are things I would ask during a post-mortem.
