> In practice, grammatical gender exhibits a systematic structural bias that has made masculine forms the default for generic, non-gender-specific contexts.

many instances of this are simply an artifact of 'man' previously being an un-gendered term. but that fact is much harder to build group cohesion around than grievance.
You should probably add a step:

5.5. Derive a hypothesis for why the 50 other competitors have not already solved this problem or couldn't do so quickly once they discover your solution.

If you don't have a good answer for this, then the odds are one of two things will happen:

1. You will waste a bunch of time only to discover that you were ignorant of some deep constraint of the problem area.

2. Your competition will re-implement your feature and crowd you out.
Isn't the point here that it's not being replaced with blood? just saline + albumin?
Utilities have a very low level of competition, but that's because they are granted an exclusive charter by the government. Private industry still competes in various roundabout ways, such as solar panel installation, and batteries that can game peak/of-peak times.
Reading it gave me a strong and growing sense I'd rather be doing almost anything else.
That's a good example.

Even with that case, you will find people who, even if supporting California on its right to promulgate its own air regulations, then turn around and object to other states doing something they don't like, using that same principle.

It seems principles are principles to the extent we agree with them.
I'm surprised that nobody pointed out that the country with the largest number of muslim/islam population Indonesia consistently has the least number of percentage for suicide rate. This is quite telling from a stark contrast between the suicide percentage rate of East and West Papua New Guinea even though they belong to the same physical island.

At the other extreme, the country with the least religious affiliation such as South Korea and Japan are consistently on the higher end of the suicide percentage rate.

In most of religions and especially Islam the suicide is a taboo subject, and it's believed that anyone who committed suicide will go straight to hell. This belief probably explains some aspects of the suicide distribution as it is.

I was referring to landlords, which many of mine have been just small time business owners who scrimp and save to make a living. One lived in the garage of the house he was renting out in order to make ends meet. Technically they have the power since they own the properties, but laws are very tenant friendly, and often landlords get left with the short end of the stick if there is a dispute.

I meant that cross-reactivity of acquired immune responses across coronaviruses is a topic that is constantly discussed in a wide swath of the literature on covid. Infectious disease isn't even my area of specialization and I see it on at least a weekly basis - I can only assume the actual epi and inf. disease lit tackles it more thoroughly.

You're confusing "I'm not hearing about it in the pop media I consume" with "it's not being widely discussed by everyone in the field."

Which is what happens when you try to evaluate a whole swath of experts in a topic you're not an expert in. Dunning-Kruger in action.

Virtual threads are not cooperative, and OS threads that process transactions are also normally preempted almost exclusively at syscalls initiated by the thread, but I can't stop you from calling them that. The important thing to remember is that you program them like OS threads or Go goroutines or Erlang processes ("interleaving can happen anywhere unless I forbid it") and not like async/await or Kotlin's coroutines or asynchronous code or Windows 3.0 ("interleaving can only happen at certain allowed, known points"), whatever you want to call these two styles.

> typical per-acre range of $250-750 for sheep to graze at its sites

Where we live, the farmer pays the landowner to graze his cattle on their land.

So I'd be interested to know why it's the other way around to have sheep graze your solar farm.

Isn't the benefit of animals that they are self-managing, that they can identify the sections that need grazing the most, and that they can even self-replicate without human involvement?

Why not just put up some predator fences and then let them do their own thing?

In February, I e-mailed a python script to one of our developers to help debug an issue with their SSL configuration.

Two days ago, I needed the script again but couldn't find it. Went to our e-mail thread and it said "the following potentially malicious attachments were blocked", showing mine, but... even from my outgoing mailbox? That seems ridiculous and problematic, considering that it sent fine at the time.

I know that e-mail shouldn't be used as a replacement for Sharepoint or Dropbox or whatever, and I should have a local copy of what I need, but it just seems annoying and arbitrary.

Anyway, I just logged into Outlook Web and downloaded it from the message there. Problem solved.
Exactly. In fact, the authors note that the effect on their own defined markers of aging was more significant when using saline + albumin than when using young blood.

>In our paper, we looked at the hippocampal neurogenesis, which is the formation of new neurons in the area of the brain that is responsible for learning and memory. We saw an eightfold increase in all the animals after neutral blood exchange, which is much higher than anything else that was observed either by heterochronic parabiosis or reported by young blood infusion. In old mice transfused with 50% young blood, we did not see an improvement in neurogenesis, which, again, puts a question mark on potency of young blood in old mammals. Does young blood by itself work as a medicine or not? If you dilute old blood by 50%, in neutral age blood exchange – with albumin-supplemented saline, there is quickly better neurogenesis.
The vast majority of murders that we are in fact actually pretty poor at preventing or solving are the result of people killing people they know or criminals killing one another.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

We only solve less than 2/3 of murders that are known to be murders which individually ought to be vastly easier than random murders.

It is hard to quantify how many of the missing are victims estimates range from 180 to 1800 annual deaths. This means its between half as many as drown in their bathtub and 5 times as many in the worst case.

All this out of a population of aprox 330M people 600k people who will for example die of cancer for context.

It is terrible that serial murderers exist but we cannot and should not rearrange all of our priorities and ignore the rights of the hundreds of millions in order to protect the few.
> Can someone help me understand some concrete scenarios where DNA testing is clearly a bad thing?

It may be a good thing for society, but it may be bad for me.

Suppose that in the process of investigating all 2,000 possibilities, the detective in question was lazy, and figured that you know, #56 fits the bill if we kind of squint.

#56 would then have a pretty nasty legal surprise to deal with, where they had to come up with an alibi for "Where were you on the night of November 23rd, 1986?" Best of luck defending yourself against that!

If I had more faith in our police system, this wouldn't be a concern. I don't, though. Police have a history of routinely misused partially-matching DNA/fingerprints/police line mugshots, to either convict, or cause serious problems for people who later turned out to be innocent.

So, I'll have a strong pass on having my DNA entered into a database. There is no personal upshot for me, and only downside, if some idiot with a badge, a gun, and an incredibly poor grasp of statistics stumbles upon me.
>The tweet box is not even a <textarea>, it's a <div> stuffed full of <span> elements.

I see. I guess it ends up doing something a bit unexpected because the distribution it's sampling from is quite different from the numbers people often deal with (also unlike the example on the main page it can apparently fail to find a function that is more accurate for all inputs).

Also this is a bit of a special case because it's easy to show that x - x^2 / 2 is within 10^-15 of the true value provided abs(x) is within 10^-6 or so, so it's easy to figure out how good Herbie is doing.

> We live rural southern Ontario and fireflies are usually just a single weekend or so at the end of June or beginning of July. But this year they went on for almost two months. They only just stopped about a week ago.

I wonder if this is cyclical behavior. We had a year like that last year down in NJ. This year it was back to maybe only a week. I live in the west part of the state surrounded by parkland. Rainfall was the only thing that was dramatically different this year. Last year was extremely wet spring and early summer (when they appeared) followed by an extremely dry end of summer into fall. This year we've had average rain in almost every month. The rain evidence isn't anecdotal, I have a state rainfall gauge a couple miles down the road from me with records going back at least a few decades.

To run async code, you use 'await' in python. That right there tells you that you have to wait for it to finish. You want to receive the result. The view will wait for a result before returning the http response.

Celery and all task queues are fire-and-forget. You tell it to do something for which you don't want the result, so you can continue executing your code right away. The task queue can even take an hour to process, for example. Or you can schedule it to run later.

"Helped" is a bit of a stretch. One could (and many have) argue that the universal presence of the warnings mean that they are universally ignored.

Wood and stone dust cause cancer. Coffee and alcohol may cause cancer. None of those things are on the same level as tobacco, tanning beds etc. There is a massive spectrum, and the labels themselves don't offer that information.

As such, people depending on the labels may incorrectly assume that using a crescent wrench is as dangerous as smoking tobacco, or vice versa.
You say that it shouldn't exist but don't elaborate in the assumptions of why. There are some major unspoken assumptions to their illegitimacy.

"Science Fiction" was niche until Star Wars sort of blew the doors off.

Sometimes it is niche until technology catches up with a need.

Sometimes it is niche until an un-suckful product is actually offered.

Sometimes it is niche until a sudden shift in the entire economy or market.

The shift from horseshoe-clad transportation to a new thing was rapid only after about 20 years of "niche" gas-powered automotive vehicles.
When corporations start buckling during sharp economic downturns, everyone's first instinct is always "let them burn."

But it's often not a choice between letting entire swaths of our economy collapse, and dumping absurd amounts of our tax dollars to prop up these poorly-run companies. We can give them loans with strings attached, force them to go through bankruptcy, wipe out the shareholders but preserve the structure of the company, bail them out but subject the industry to much greater regulatory scrutiny, etc.

Personally, I wish we had a straightforward way to bail out a company and have the U.S. government take ownership in the company until the stake can be safely unwound, or the too-big-to-fail company can be broken up. Theoretically, with a controlling stake and the corresponding board seats, you could force out the lousy management that didn't take adequate precautions as well.

It'd kind of be socialism-esque nationalization of industries with extra steps, but Japan has been doing a similar-style thing since the 90s, and I can't imagine it would be any worse than the relatively strings-free bailouts we've seen, or the collateral damage and runaway collapse that would occur from letting a monstrous chunk of the economy fail all at once.

I have a feeling that these auditor people just make up bullshit when they can't find something real. The last few we have got have come up with total non issues marked as severe because they are easy to "exploit".

Meanwhile I have been finding and fixing real security issues regularly. To be fair it would be extremely difficult for an external person to find issues in the limited time they have so the audit comes down to someone running through a list of premade checks to see if they find anything.
You either have way more grit at arguing than most people or you haven't worked at a large and cumbersome organization.

I know most people at those kinds of organizations just don't have the grit to fight every one of those battles all over again, and choose to do the things they can affect with reasonable effort instead.

I'm not saying that grit would be a bad thing to have. I appreciate the people who do it. But you really can't know what kinds of situations the parent commenter was in, and sometimes you can't really expect everyone to want to fight it.

Mormonism's belief is not that you will be rewarded because some one posthumously baptized you, but because you accepted that baptism in the after-life. All are rewarded according to their own decisions/desires.

Edit:

Well actually, Mormonism is a Christian faith that teaches that salvation comes in and through Jesus Christ, so it really isn't your actions or their actions- but the actions of Jesus Christ- taken on your behalf, that leads to salvation- if you accept it. But it isn't so much a reward as it is an act of mercy.
Four mile wide BLM sign carved on desert floor with GPS guided vehicle
Too many students die from suicide each year, and I suspect the situation is greatly exacerbated by the intense stress of academia, combined with extremely high expectations from others and society in general (which says that if you don't get into school X or complete degree Y then you have failed and have no future) and an all-or-nothing reward model (actual learning being a distant second to the credential/stamp of approval of getting into school X or completing degree Y.)

Graduate school can be particularly stressful; in addition to having to complete intense and often very isolated work, students are often completely dependent on their graduate advisors for funding as well as degree progress - but switching advisors is much harder than changing an industry job since it usually requires starting an entirely new research project from the beginning.
No clue about French but in German they started to use both versions at the same time glued together in made-up "special" forms. It's like using "he/she" for every noun. This makes texts completely unreadable and you need even browser extensions[1] to not go crazy with all that gendered BS language!

OK, I exaggerate, there are still people that don't try to be "politically correct" and still use proper language, and know that there is such a thing called "Generisches Maskulinum (English: generic masculine)"[2]. But in more "official" writings or in the media the brain dead double-forms are used up until the point you can't read such texts any more: Those double-forms (which are not correct German) cause constant knots in the head when trying to read a text that was fucked up this way.

(Sorry for the strong words but one just can't formulate it differently. As the existence of that browser extensions shows clearly I'm not alone when it comes to going mad about that rape of language. Also often whole comment sections don't discuss a topic at hand but instead most people complain about the usage of broken "gendered" pseudo-politically-correct BS language. That noun-gendering is like a disease!)

This was the sales pitch for iTunes and the iTunes store:

"We approached it as 'Hey, we all love music.' Talk to the senior guys in the record companies and they all love music, too. … We love music, and there's a problem. And it's not just their problem. Stealing things is everybody's problem. We own a lot of intellectual property, and we don't like when people steal it. So people are stealing stuff and we're optimists. We believe that 80 percent of the people stealing stuff don't want to be; there’s just no legal alternative. So we said, Let's create a legal alternative to this. Everybody wins. Music companies win. The artists win. Apple wins. And the user wins because he gets a better service and doesn't have to be a thief."

Another point of reference: because they had no legal ground to stand on, HBO targeted Canadian torrenters of Game of Thrones with an e-mail saying, among other things, "It's never been easier to [watch Game of Thrones legally]!"

This was true, it had never been easier. It had also never been harder. For the entire time that Game of Thrones was being aired, the only legal way for Canadians to watch it was to pay about a hundred dollars per month for cable and the cable packages that would give them HBO. You could buy it on iTunes, but only as a season, after the season was over.

So yeah, I kept torrenting it, everyone I know kept torrenting it, and everyone hated (or laughed at, or both) HBO the whole time.

> will go straight to hell. This belief probably explains some

That's the negative side, yes. But don't discount the equally if not more powerful positive side: Things like believing there is a greater purpose to your existence, are incredibly powerful and helpful. (i.e. "I'm in pain, but there's a reason I'm here, let me try to accomplish it.")

And that's not even touching on the far greater community support among religious people. Having a horrible day and need someone to xyz. You can talk to someone you have never met before, but who shares your beliefs, and they will most likely go out of their way to help you with it (or at least they'll help you find someone else who can do it).
