I don’t see how an extreme distribution makes the representation less useful. See: vector images. In fact, the large disparity is relative abundance of elements is why it would be even more useful. A periodic table says next to nothing about how much matter has gone through nucleosynthesis since the big bang. You could show that with one pie chart, but then you lose the information about the distribution of masses. You haven’t given a good reason why it wouldn’t be useful to have all three pieces of information in one graph.
In Australia they don’t charge more on the policy, but if you have an accident your co-pay is higher if you are young, have had your license for fewer than X years, the car is high power e.g. sports car.

But if you don’t crash you pay the same as the next regular Joe.
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any recommended further reading? You could write a great essay on this, I bet.
Goes to a neighborhood with many XXX

Tells them: "all of you XXX are violent, uneducated, and stupid"

<gets slapped>

responds: "Yes, exactly my point. I find it very strange to fight a stereotype by acting in a way that could easily be casted into the said stereotype. If anything this will even make it stronger."

<gets slapped again>

------

Sometimes people should be slapped, censored or jailed, who cares if that is part of the stereotypical way people view the CEO of the the global company that enforce the policy in their company.

Moreover, the fact that you are reiterating a stereotype that has nothing to do with Mark or Facebook. "If anything this will even make <facebook's case> stronger."

Having too many men can impact the experience women have, and if they leave then the entire platform collapses. The cost to "host" a user is the same regardless of gender but platforms like these work only if the gender ratio is at least somewhat balanced - the fee seems to help with that, just like it does in a physical club(where it also doesn't cost any more to host a man than it does a woman).
I found that learning and writing some Clojure and Go made me think better about the code I was writing in my main language (python).

I enjoyed working through Clojure for the brave and true: https://www.braveclojure.com/clojure-for-the-brave-and-true/

and the go tour is probably the best introduction I've ever had to a language:

I quit webdev after 3 years and I'm now trying more and more thing in the gaming world. Mostly cpp and opengl. Emscripten(was) and WebGL are very nice to make shiny doodles. So maybe try one of those. Or make simple art with css.
Might be a good thing - once to my horror it just installed some manufacturer crapware when I plugged in a new mouse, and it did so without asking for permission. The software was the type of thing that makes you sign up for an account so you can adjust DPI and make it do weird things with colours. This was a few years back and hopefully this change means the end of stuff like that.

I think when working with a piece of hardware that requires a specific driver the user is best placed to go to the manufacturer website and download it.
This is obviously very sad for the folk being laid off from Mozilla, and they have my sympathies and best wishes for finding alternate employment.

Separate to that, and I realise I'm shouting at the sky since this is just one comment among over 1200 others... CAN WE PLEASE STOP GIVING THE WEB TO GOOGLE.

Apple's iOS browser engine policy is basically the only thing that stands between Google and complete dominance of the web. That's right, an anti-choice, walled-garden decision to force WebKit on all iOS users, is the only defence against Chrome supplanting the ideal of The Web, with itself.

Firefox and Safari are basically the only browsers left that don't use Chromium, and they are making the sensible decision to hold back Google's frenetic sprint to expose our entire computers to JavaScript. I'm confident that Apple can hold the line if it wants to, but I have to assume that Firefox will be dead within 5 years, which means the entire dream of an open web, rests solely on Apple's whims. This is not healthy in any way.

To all of you who say things like "Safari is the new IE", or bemoan the lack of particular Chrome APIs in WebKit, or who solely target Chrome and don't care if your sites break in Firefox/WebKit.... you, all of you, individually and collectively, are killing the web. Stop sleepwalking all of us into a future where Chrome is the only "OS" that matters on any platform.
One more reason not to use online dating platforms.
Yeah, you almost get the sense they aren’t running this business out of the kindness of their hearts.
Project Euler is also always nice to learn more things about math.
"Proper" makes sense until it doesn't. When you play the piano there are all kinds of recommended fingerings, until you realise that you don't have the same shaped hand as the person who recommended them or you started on a different finger so can't quite get into the optimal fingering.

Worse (IIRC), "proper" touch typing exists in a vacuum and has no context of the prior keypresses - rotating fingers or even switching hands at the boundary is going to lead to faster typing when you remove the artificial restrictions of "proper" typing.

BUT when you cannot touch type at all the notion of "proper" fingering provides a framework to work within and helps to form best practices that combat things like "press every key with index finger".

You'll see this in many skills and sports:

Beginner - no knowledge of the rules
Intermediate - can apply the rules
Expert - breaks the rules to achieve greater performance
Master - creates new rules

Ultimately the best fingering for touch typing is the one which leads you to type the fastest and most accurate with the least amount of energy/effort. Achieving the optimal fingering as declared by someone else isn't really the goal.
Money still money
Do you have any more figures than what's in the article?
In the article it's got these figures:

> The economy is more than a fifth smaller than it was at the end of last year. This fall is not as bad as the 22.7% decline in Spain, but about twice the size of contractions in Germany and the US.

I think Germany's handling was exceptional anyway, and for the US it hasn't hit fully yet. I reckon there's a lot more to come in the UK, as well, when the government furlough scheme comes to an end. And not to forget to mention the country is still in the Brexit transition period, which runs out at the end of the year.

No, it isn't, I've been making this argument for years. In all of EU it's illegal to charge more for insurance based on gender, it should also be illegal to charge more based on age. Only your actual driving record, type of car being insured and possibly location should be taken into account when calculating the premium.

The UK stayed in a deep state of lockdown longer than most other European countries, that's why the relative numbers are bad. Question is, did it work, was it worth it? (saving lives)
Yeah I can connect with that feeling of guilt. Sometimes I'll need an escape when something needs doing. So I'll browse around Reddit or play a video game, but not an involved, captivating one, but something like a simpler puzzle game so I can feel like I'm not totally abandoning the stuff I'm meant to do.

It's really odd and I'm better off just burning an hour or two on a more intense form of distraction and getting it out of my system. I've found it's worse when my wife is home, I guess it's an urge to keep up appearances, even if she doesn't really care? But when she's out of town I think I get more done just because I chunk time for work and play more effectively.
> Gesture Guard

> Detects and blurs different types of gestures that don't have their place in a video call.

YOu have to allow JS to view the images and load the actual text of the article too! How did we get to this stage where you can't even just view a images and text without JS.
The abbreviation for the time zone, ET, caused me to pause.
The media and companies aren't really concerns; they've got libel and stuff to worry about. It's public opinion that worries me.
Did you have to add the "white" in there? Was it definitely necessary or adding anything to this discussion?
What does this feature do? Does it basically stack your match deck so high ranks are top pull every time? Really makes Tinder seem like a one-armed bandit. Either you pay and get quality folks on balance, due to ratings and such washing out the boys from the men, or you play your hand on randos. And people actually pay for this privilege?

What a world.
Something similar struck me about the article. It does not list the "external partners" facebook is working with that are largely Jewish organizations that have been relentlessly hammering Facebook; founded by and largely led by Jewish people, to control speech, in direct violation of the US Constitution, in order to suppress the notion that Jewish people control things.

It is unfortunately extremely abusive gaslighting behavior.
As others have said, it's not just a question of going faster. It's a question of comfort and not having to fight things. Having an uncomfortable chair or dim / washed out / fuzzy screen is not going to change if your code is right or wrong, but it's something less that's bugging you.

For the question at hand, I'm inclined to think that what matters most is not so much typing speed as typing accuracy. If I have to constantly go back and fix a typo it's a just a PITA. I'm by no means a fast typist, but I think I make fairly few errors. So whenever I have to use an unfamiliar keyboard, the biggest issue I have is mistyping things and having to constantly go back and fix them. Also, modifier keys not being where I expect them aggravates me to no end.
Well, Haskell did it...

this was an old trick when learning touch typing on typewriters. At the classroom there were machines with blank keycaps, or only the ASDF row.

Gender imbalance also negatively impacts the experience of the men: nobody wants too much competition.

If you're not already well-versed: get familiar with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Funnels, a/b Testing etc. It's cool to know other tools as well, but privacy concerns or not, GA + GTM are the default. They're largely underused, but my experience is that clients love it when you can set it up for them, especially in combination with Adsense/Adwords to optimize their campaigns.
Soft skills.
This is an advertisement fluff piece that links to some "prediction book" URL.
Couldn’t you argue that’s what’s happening? As in, would you support a lower rate for people with X years of no crashes? (Meaning teens wouldn’t be eligible because they just started driving)
True, but linear keyboard force you to use proper touch typing because the keys are too far for anything else. I wouldn't recommend them, even though I otherwise love mine.
Or create better ones.
Yeah, the one major European country with even worse GDP decline than the UK is Spain, which also happened to have what was generally considered to be the strictest lockdown in Europe. Sweden, on the other hand, had a much smaller decrease in GDP despite their economy being heavily reliant on exporting to the rest of Europe.
> I’m not sure we have co-mingling here

We do, the seller setting for that ("Barcode preference") is there in the Seller Central Europe and the help text explicitly talks about commingling.
I used a blank keyboard to learn Colemak. I wouldn’t call marks an expert typist, but I’m definitely more fluent than ever before and typing is more comfortable than ever before.
Meh, it's just like cover prices at a club. As a guy, you can let the "unfairness" bother you, or you can realize it's in your best interest to minimize barriers for women because basically everything is a saugagefest otherwise.

Then again, the actual figures in the article tell a different story than the title does.

- Queer female under 30: $7/mo

- Straight female over 30: $30/mo

- Straight male over 50: $35/mo

So it's really age in general.

Though I'm a male in my 30s in a metro center and it's just showing me $8/mo. Though that's probably just Tinder's AI recognizing me as the gift to women that I am.

Also, Tinder Gold is optional. I'm a heavy dating-app user and would never pay for premium features.
The fact that is common doesn't make it right.
And still cheaper in real terms than a 16k Spectrum in 1982!
It's simply supply and demand. There are many more men than women using most dating services.
BBC desperately trying to add some positivity to the headline. It's the worst recession on record, and yet they are clamouring onto this notion that it has been an achievement of success that it has been 11 years since the last recession.
I don’t agree with discrimination in pricing or any other kind in that sense on the platform side. Never paid for Tinder either, but for what it’s worth I did meet my wife on there. And she’s amazing, so there’s that.

It is mind boggling that Microsoft after all the years with dealing with the OS couldn't make it work.
You are entitled to 5 minutes (paid) break per hour worked in a shift, which the employer has the right to consolidate in various (but not endless) ways. This is on top the right to a lunch break which has separate rules. I think that both of these are is in the labour law and not allowed to substantially re-negotiated. (Many things across the various labour laws are explicitly allowed to be overridden by CBA).
Imagine that the jobs you are interested in want to see some k8s experience. Either you teach it to yourself at home or you justify implementing it at your current job (resume driven development basically).
Yeah, which is bullshit.

You can't both say "well we let you do it, we're so customizable" and "but if you do and anything goes wrong, it's your fault."

I'd rather that userchrome get removed and Firefox own up to the fact that they're not gonna properly support what users want.

A company who puts users first should not be ashamed of supporting their users' desires. You either support your users or you fight your users. Mozilla have somehow decided to publicly fight their users and furtively and abortively support them in secret; I really don't get how they think that reflects well on them. It feels like Moz are more trying to appease their own UX designers than their userbase.

Adjusting prices by demographic is so common in many industries.

Charging less for children, families and the elderly is the same thing. Charging less for women in clubs. Same with booking hotels and flights, based on browsing history, IP address, cookies and the extrapolated demographic.

Even a repair contractor adjusts his prices up for someone who lives in a mansion with expensive cars in the driveway, and down for a single mother with three young kids running around her.

Of course Tinder charges more for older men, why wouldn't they. Every industry ever wanted to be able to do this, and some can now automate it easily with all the available demographic data they collect.
> Didn't Trump recommended people drink or inject bleach?

No, he didn't, listen to what he actually said.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33QdTOyXz3w

It's not a claim, it's an arguably stupid question to some guy off-screen. Yet, the title of this video is "President Trump claims injecting people with disinfectant could treat coronavirus". The outlet is the presumably reputable "Telegraph".

Trump also never called Nazis "fine people". What actually was said:

"...you had very fine people on both sides..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmaZR8E12bs&feature=youtu.be...

"And you had people - and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists - because they should be condemned totally."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmaZR8E12bs&feature=youtu.be...

The job of the media is to fabricate outrage and scandals, because that's how you get attention. Trump doesn't even mind, in fact he is taking advantage of it:

https://growth.me/book-summaries/art-of-the-deal/#3-being-bo...

Remember when he "accidentally" mistook WWI for WWII in some press conference? The headline: "Another dumb thing that Trump said!"

However, it's a mistake that anybody - particularly average Joe - could've made. It's not really that negative, in fact it could be endearing to some people.

More importantly though, that headline is going to take attention away from actually negative news, such as "over a thousand American Coronavirus deaths occuring every day".

So, if you think Trump is really that stupid, maybe you're not really that smart.
Turning information into knowledge is impossible without humans and thus would invalidate Google's business model if it had in any way to pay for it. Looking with fresh eyes you could say Google is the biggest leech ever created.
> Also, the pictures in that article made me feel nostalgic playing Golden Eye on the N64.

Recently a mate and I plugged in an n64 to play Golden Eye and spent way too long messing with the cables before realising that it was displaying correctly and that the graphics just weren’t that great.
A 15 inch CRT hid a lot too.

We still had a great time - no Oddjob usage per house rules. Using him is cheating.
Haha I haven't considered that. Damn, the economics & related behaviours (signalling, honest signals, supply & demand etc.) of dating are brutal! I'm fortunate I'm off the market (currently).
Benchmarking PostgreSQL's JSON Field
Oh, I'm very aware of these JV debate team talking points about Amnesty International. I would just dismiss those as not relevant and point you toward some courses on remedial critical thinking skills to better understand what kinds of evidence are relevant to what kinds of claims, specifically how the signal diminishes as you increase the degrees of separation from your evidence and the content you are trying to apply it to.

This is several degrees of abstraction away from the point about Uighurs, so unless you are claiming Luis Kutner's actions in the 60s have a specific, direct evidentiary connection to the 400 instances of Uighur testimony about disappearances and torture across the world from the past few years, the only thing I can do for you is try to help explain how to critically think about evidence and its connection to different kinds of claims, and how to understand when it does and doesn't weigh on particular claims.

Did you have anything specific to the issue of Uighur testimony you would like to share that's not from 60 years ago? Is there a particular line in the wiki article or mintpressnews that you linked that directly and specifically debunks all 400 pieces of testimony?
Tinder has two goals:

- make the most money from vulnerable people

- make non vulnerable people behave like if they were on a social network

Having different price, per geography, gender and age is just a consequence of the first.

It is not surprising that you can't see anymore the instagram handles of people on tinder. Instagram is a direct competitor to tinder for most of their users ( the non vulnerable ones).

Actually that's very smart, Tinder is probably the only big social network (tinder is not a dating app) which didn't require ads or a lot of funding to get big, only because one small portion of their user are willing to pay to be part of their community
Besides all kind of data science/machine learning, what about learning the "greybeard" mastering of Unix servers? This will connect a lot of old-grown idioms (think about daemons, classical TCP services, etc.) and get you a lot of knowledge in networking (which has connections to event-based networking and thus asyncio, greenlets and all that).
I’m also a mostly self-taught freelance webdev, and recently I’ve been learning about Rust which I’ve found to be very interesting.

I mean, the same holds true for browser features. It's always been David vs. Goliath for them.
This was arguably because the UK fannied around and failed to implement its lockdown early enough, meaning that the resulting lockdown which was required anyway was more impactful than it would have been. Not just economically, but in terms of lives lost.

I came here to suggest these two languages, too. On the other hand, you could focus on building something non-web. A language, a video game, etc.

The 'nudity' scenario is somewhere along the lines of you being in a video call, and your loved one walking naked in the background, or just forgetting to close the webcam while you change, etc.

We realize it's not a common scenario, but even if it would work once or twice per year, it would still be saving you from a very awkward situation, thus the value we see in this.

That sucks. I much preferred the drivers Windows automatically finds over navigating shitty vendor websites that break their links every other year and sometimes just take down all drivers for some of their product.

It also takes away some of the power Microsoft had over hardware manufacturers regarding driver quality; the WHQL program has only improved driver quality in my experience. Of course companies like NVIDIA encourage you to use their website version that doesn't need to pass all the quality checks because it's faster, preferably by making you sign up and letting them track what you do on your computer with some of their spyware, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Microsoft-sanctioned drivers are usually much more reliable and secure than random downloads a vendor decides to throw on their website.

It also makes a lot of older hardware useless. Microsoft's database contains many more drivers for less common, cheaper brands than vendors' websites, especially when the devices in question is older than three years and they'd much rather have you buy a new laptop than give you a driver for the motherboard.

I too have been bitten by the random software popup when plugging in a "gaming" mouse from Logitech, but I think it's wrong to blame Microsoft for the shitty software their vendors throw online. Microsoft judges drivers on stability and code quality rather than weird features like side programs, so if Logitech asserts that their customers want to use the program to use all the drivers' features, then who are they to object?
