> Are there situations where those of the female sex as a group

Obviously: medical stuff. The needs of trans women and cis women are not aligned when issues of sexual health come up. Trans women don't have uteruses, for example, and healthcare for trans women differs greatly from assigned-female-at-birth people. Here, the interests of trans women, AFAB women, trans men and AMAB men are all somewhat unique. Note further that in this situation men (specifically trans-men) and AFAB women can have significant overlaps in needs.

Do you mean more in social spaces, where women as a group are interacting as women and not as females? Because as a society we don't often differentiate between female and women's spaces, and in general we seem to apply the label "female" to many things that are really "women's".

Offhand, I can't think of many social spaces where women interact as females, and not just as women. Perhaps spaces devoted to motherhood? As for the women's spaces, those being trans exclusionary is, imo questionable in most cases. Although I did see a trans person I know recently point out that they are able to relate with trans women's experiences often more deeply than with cis women's, so the reverse would also likely be true.

As for your other question:

> I should add, I see people use the phrase "assigned male/female". Which seems odd to me if sex is a biological construct rather than a social construct. It seems the correct phrase would be "assigned man/woman". Is there something I am missing?

I agree the terminology here is weird. But implicit in your framing is that someone is assigned a gender based on their sex. One is not assigned "man/woman" at all. Or, insofar as a trans woman is AMAB, they were also assigned woman at birth (but this assignment is mental), that's why they chose to transition their appearance, to better align with their gender.

I'm not an expert, but my guess is that the "assigned" framing is a way to help distance the person from an aspect of themselves that can cause dysphoria. If you see yourself as a woman, you might strongly prefer to be biologically female, but you can't be. Framing this as something you were assigned helps to address that.
Well, the 6502 was famously NMOS which isn't CMOS either. Though wikipedia tells me there is a '65C02' which is a CMOS version of the 6502.

Do note that there's easily a 15-day delay when it comes to Sweden reporting somewhat correct number of deaths, so let's not focus on the "current" death rate too much. And I expect the reporting delay to actually be worse right now as we're in the middle of vacation time.

Legally and conceptually animal crueltly doesn't just mean "painful or deadly things happening to animals. Despite the name it is more implicitly "gratitutousness animal cruelty" which is defined as not serving a purpose.

Tar paper traps lead to a slow death by starvation but it is a side effect of the function - to work without "triggering" and inconveniencing anything much larger instead of risking harm. No need to take a cat to the vet if they step on it, just wash them off and maybe clip some fur keeping it attached. The fact it causes more suffering than a mechanical trap isn't enough to qualify although one may object to its usage. But breaking a mouse's leg just to laugh at it and watch it crawl? Gratitutous and would qualify as animal cruelty.
“We desperately need the Americans to solve their coronavirus situation or we are going to be ruined,” says Mr. Rizzo.

“An Italian orders a coffee, Americans order drinks and food and they are generous with tips.”

There are some who bemoan mass-tourism and would like to see less of it. There are some locals who would rather have their hometowns for their own pleasures instead of being overrun by tourists. But these anecdotes and statistics can help explain why mass-tourism is here to stay. There is simply too much money and too many job opportunities in tourism, which cannot be replaced overnight by something else.

If one wants to curb over-tourism, a necessary part of the solution would be to figure out alternative opportunities for people dependent on tourism as well as a smooth transition plan to that alternative.
I've read a lot of "system analysis" / "system dynamics" literature in grad school, and did workshops with practitioners, and my impression is that they suffer a lot from "if you have a hammer".

Business people and ecologists discovered modeling with ordinary differential equations, created their own jargon and tools around it, and decided it is the key to understand everything.

ODEs are a great tool to have in your modelling toolbox, but they're not, like, revolutionary.

To give credit where it's due, they manage to explain simple differential equation systems in accessible terms, and they manage to get people who would otherwise not build, test and think about explicit models at all, to do it to some degree.

But if you're already someone used to thinking with models, this is 101 stuff. My gripe with the discipline is that they barely go beyond the 101 stuff and hype their methodology to high heaven. The field is also permeated by relativist philosophy, or at least, it was 5 years ago when I was keeping up with the System Dynamics Society.

It leaves you in an awkward spot as a discipline if your bread and butter is building models, but you don't think there's an objective truth to test your models against, since truth is just group consensus.
In my experience, these rules end up deployed in such a way that you cannot commit any change until they are obeyed to the letter. (That goes doubly so if they get encoded into an automated tool.)

I don't disagree with that; a coding standard that is not enforceable without generous judgment calls is far less useful than a rigorous one.

Make it exact, and then get everyone to stick to it.

I constantly read articles like these and keep thinking - if you lose this distraction, soon you'll find another one.

I noticed a few months ago that hackernews and reddit were sucking more and more time out of my life. So I installed impulse blocker, removed the apps from my smartphone, thinking I would get so much more free time. Guess what, I was wrong - I just spent my free time with other distractions, sometimes to a much worse net benefit. Not reading HN would mean to lose the thin grasp I've got on state-of-the art tech and all the panoplia of interesting content.

I've tried the folder before, as well as turning the screen gray (guess what, most apps don't have enough brightness contrast to be really usable while on grayscale), and nothing worked.

Maybe distractions can also be positive in your life - I surely enjoy watching a documentary to spend time, and the entertainment it gives you also brings something valuable to your life, while r/funny or facebook don't. Maybe the trick is to select when you wanna have trivial fun and stick to that.

I've once read you can get a similarish result by essentially storing the film in rather concentrated salt solution for several hours to days, but that doesn't seem quite practical: http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=7958.0
I find this article a little disingenuous and here is why: Sweden-5420 deaths out of a population of 10 million while no lock down.
Michigan-6005 deaths out of a population of 10 million and we have been locked down since mid March.

To be clear, I was in favor of the lockdown at first and I still am in favor of keeping things like bars and casinos closed but it’s become clear that the virus doesn’t have much affect on younger populations and that the death rate has been dropping. Here in Michigan, while our daily new cases is still creeping up, our 7 day moving average of deaths has continued to plummet.
Total honesty time. This topic has bothered me for years.

I went to public school and did every honors program / enrichment class / etc. that we had. Nothing that showed me how to think about learning, however. I'll get to that below. Furthermore, everything was easy enough that nobody ever found out I had severe issues focusing on the material because the pacing was so slow. I didn't think of these things as a problem at the time. I thought it was normal to daydream then learn math sort of looking in reverse, in review of what was covered "yesterday, while I was dreaming" or similar. More importantly though, given the ease of the curriculum, from an early age I thought of school as a game -- a type of intelligence test where the object was to do as well as possible with the minimum effort, using only the materials provided by the teacher, and the class lecture. This was reinforced by my peer group of course, but also parents and authority figures always telling me I was smart. With friends, the mantra, "You aren't smart if you have to work hard" was the sort of maxim we obeyed.

This all proved to be an absolutely disastrous set of notions when I finally arrived at university. I daydreamed through calculus -- I didn't have the skill of focusing. I took misinformed and patchy notes and, still playing the intelligence game, used those notes as my only source of information. I played the game until undergrad was finished. I graduated... I'd gotten by on geometric intuition and educated guesswork. I made b's and c's. Even as I failed at my own game, I wondered what was wrong with me. Why was I not smart enough?

Only at the end of my BS, after falling off the treadmill I assumed would simply spit me out in a professorship somewhere, did I realize what a mistake I'd made. The mistake, of course, in not taking every opportunity to maximize what I learned and to investigate what I was curious about -- indeed, what I loved. Only then, with no options, no academic structure before me, with every opportunity (seemingly) past, did my eyes open to see the world as it was, and not as the intelligence game. I type this now, 16 years later, in my home office; a shrine to self learning... At that time, I dug out my calculus books and started over. Soon I went to grad school for something easy -- something I could get into based on the existence of my engineering degree alone (a degree for which in and of itself, I was basically unemployable, or at least to which I did not trust myself to struggle onward and use in that way).
Meanwhile I taught myself calculus over again from page 1, and began to resurrect my prospects in the most painful way possible. Piece by piece I scrapped my education together, getting my PhD in engineering (not physics like I wanted) years late.

I've a very wide education now, but I am always wondering what could have been, and now I have a toddler, almost 2 years old. One thing about the above I know: I just want to make sure he never goes through such a process with wool over his eyes. I want him to know from the start how to direct his curiosity into learning what he wants, at his own pace.

Anyone who claims that hiring racism/sexism/ageism/etc. dominates in some industry should be ignored unless they’ve already conditioned on obviously-relevant factors with sex/race/age/etc. correlates, like the desirable strength/intelligence/etc. distribution of workers in that industry.

You might naively claim that professional basketball has a racist preference for black men, until you remember that black men are vastly more likely to fall into the height and athleticism distribution optimal for playing basketball. There are also industries where you rationally expect e.g. whites and asians to be disproportionately represented.

> I don't know anyone who's getting 100% of their loan forgiven.

I don't think you know that many people then. I don't know a ton, but everyone I know is expecting to get 100% of the loan forgiven. Main reason being you just need to show that money is spent on payroll, mortgage interest and utilities. For a lot of businesses it isn't that hard to shift accounts around to show those costs are higher than their PPP amounts.
How do you think flu deaths are counted? Because that numbers shows also estimated death people - people who were never even tested on flu. Like, percentage of pneumonia deaths. And they contain also people also having other health issues and not just flu.
Swede here. The leadership in Sweden has consistently tried to find different ways of justifying the strategy. Blaming the results on failing elderly care has been one such tactic. When you compare the raw numbers the proportion of elderly care deaths is actually in line with (or even less than) neighboring countries.
Go mod is a gigantic pig's breakfast. It would work OK if everyone was on it already, but everyone is not on it already.

If I took a survey of every go.mod file and looked at the versions, more than half would still be that absurd, un-eyeballable, merge-review-hostile, another-arbitrary-c-hacker-mini-language, shas-upon-shas version string that the "insane amount of thought" landed on because it assumes everyone is already conformant. The ugly corner case for "unversioned" dependencies is the main case.

The "insane amount of thought", as is the norm for the Golang team, involved a gymnastic demonstration to evade (1) any serious consideration of prior art in use whatsoever, and (2) entertaining not even the slightest concept of how shitty it would be to impose massive externalities on everyone else.

Even an apologetic tone would have made the pill less bitter. Or better yet, blessing godep. Or copying Maven wholesale. Or Bundler. I don't care, because what happened has vapourised millions of developer hours chasing down completely unnecessary versioning issues.

Generic "flu" deaths are also counted the same way. Why do you think Covid deaths should be counted differently?

I think the pipeline argument is a little biased, it implies that only certain kinds of people can learn "the skills". This thinking back propagates down the line from what the ideal resume looks like, to where someone went to school, down to something like gender or class.

I think this is patently untrue and encouraging training and taking chances on different types of applicants would do a lot to improve this.

As someone with a bit of an odd background and a bit scattered of a resume. I've experienced this stonewalling first hand.

I don't use Clojure; I have no idea. If two occurrences of "x" are mapped to the same object, that is interning; maybe what that does is use its own package-like namespace, separately allocated for each call.

The documentation for EDN says that "nil, booleans, strings, characters, and symbols are equal to values of the same type with the same edn representation." The only way two symbol values can be equal is if they are actually same symbol, I would hope.

I think a big part of it is the public space. Let's say I'm on X side of a debate. I can, in good faith, try to talk to someone from side Y. I might find some such person, or even several.

The problem is, if we're talking in a public forum, anyone can come up (from side X, side Y, or both) and jump in not in good faith. And so I get, as Fellshard said, my hand chewed off, not by the person I was talking to, but by a bunch of drive-by conversation-killers.

Under current conditions, I don't think a real conversation can happen in public (which includes social media).
