It's well documented that autistic individuals are having difficulties resolving or tolerating emotionally conflicting situations.

If a male non-autist has girlish interests, he might be proud of his uniqueness and thereby accept it as part of himself.

For a male autist, the socially conflicting girlish interests will be much more painful, thereby driving a higher percentage of autists to resolve the conflict by adjusting their gender.

That would also explain the data, but with causality reversed.

And from personal experience:
I received a lot of criticism as a kid because I was a guy but I liked purple shorts and playing dress-up with my sisters. It's just that since I never identified with the stereotypical guys from movies, I wasn't bothered that other people considered me unequal to them.

But I've seen how much effort my math genius classmate put into proving his manliness, so I assume the gossip about us having girlish interests must have bothered him a lot more than me.
>"this is what Roman Emperors looked like"

The same can be said of the original advanced technology used to render a facsimile of the Roman Emperors, and in fact .. many stone sculptors have lost their prestige for the sake of this very same argument.

Since culture is a lie which persists only in the telling, this IS what the Roman Emperors look like, now. You shouldn't resist that, because there is no truth on this issue, anyway.

Not to mention that "bone structure" is not a fixed thing. The last 100 years or so, western skulls have seen a reduction in the size of jaw bones and sinuses, smaller mouths, narrower palates, etc. Apparently because we spend less time chewing on tough foods.

I also host my own email server. For the first several years, I didn't have a spam solution since I wasn't getting any. After it started coming (not in terrible amounts but enough to become a nuisance), I set up rspamd.

If you'd been paying attention you'd know that the President has the absolute, unquestionable power to pardon offenses against the United States, which specifically means: offences under Federal law, but not offenses under State law.
That's straight up on the ridiculous conspiracy theory field though.
The difference is that except for the leftover Neocon vanguard of Bill Kristol and Max Boot, no one is actually saying the Iraq War was a good thing, and no one making a serious argument about that war's history is claiming that the US "set out to murder one million Iraqis". These kinds of takes are meant to be reductionist ploys used to excuse the behavior of PRC by implying that there is some kind of moral equivalency between these events, which are separated by half a planet (literally) of context. Also, it might be wise to speak with some people who lived under actual oppressive/authoritarian regimes - like the Taliban or the Soviet Union - before making a claim that living that way is always preferable to death.
Ask HN: Does Google have a way to report scam advertisements?
I got the linked ad [1] show up on a website I visited. It’s a scam for bitcoin trading, which is presented using the same website as our national broadcaster. I tried to report it, but the only option that fit was “inappropriate”

What’s the consensus on whether Roman statues were intended to be realistic, or perhaps were idealizations, or even whether the statue makers had the ability to truly capture realistic features rather than work to a “type”?

“Lely's painting style was, as was usual at the time, intended to flatter the sitter. Royalty in particular expected portraits to show them in the best possible light, if not to be outright fanciful. Lely's painting of Charles II shows what was expected of a painting of a head of state in the 17th century. It emphasizes the shapely royal calves - a prized fashion feature at that time.”

> What he revealed about the domestic surveillance apparatus violating US law and citizens’ rights had significant value to nation.

That would be only one of the charges. And a reasonable Snowden defence would be to recite the oath he swore to the Constitution. If this were the only charge, I don't rule out a fair trial.

But the second charge would be revealing NSA programs operating outside inside USA borders. This was the reason Obama didn't want to write a pardon, and the reason Pompeo sides with executing Snowden. The accusation that Snowden was working for a foreign intelligence agency hinges on two questions: why did he reveal those overseas programs, and how did he get onto (or know to get onto) Aeroflot without a passport.

This is why he can be simultaneously a patriot and traitor. Trump (or his predecessor) could have written a pardon the first charge and deliberately left out the second. Whether Snowden would want to take his chances with a trial on the second charge would be a tough choice.
They did give in and give me a refund eventually. It's just that I was surprised by their laissez-faire attitude that their topseller was some random no-name factory in China.

People do seek out others like themselves, but transgender communities are rare, because transgender people are rare. There are not many of them. When there are hundreds of people gossiping about transgendered people for every transgendered person it's easy for faulty information to be spread. There is a lot of misunderstandings about transgender people.

> Let’s assume we can literally communicate over any distance instantly. Do we come across as a bit slow to anyone orbiting star S62?

Communicating "instantly" would be a paradox.

Remember there is no absolute reference to which speeds are measured, aka. a "luminiferous aether". Its existence was disproved in the 19th century.

So Earthers are slow for observers on that star, but inhabitants of that star are also slow for Earthers; because speed is relative. Hence the name relativity.

And the reason it doesn't result in a paradox with light-speed communication is that the increasing (resp. decreasing) latency between the two account for the increasing (resp. decreasing) difference of time caused by this discrepancy of an object speeding up away from (resp. toward) the other.

The deconstruction of gender norms is relatively common among gender-progressive people.

You seem to be confusing inspecting toys for conformity and inspecting systems that encourage (or require) conformity. And it's much easier to attack or be concerned about straw-positions than actual ones.

It's not problematic for someone to play with toys, or do things, stereotypical to their gender. It's a problem when they are encouraged (tacitly or not) or forced to stick within a predefined scope.
Not hugely.
Branches are just pointers into a graph of commits. The graph cannot be mutated (it can be pruned by garbage collection but that does never happen related to an oh shit event, it takes weeks even in a heavily modified repo). The pointers can be modified to point anywhere else in the graph, which makes things look mutated without being mutated. Using reflog you can get your back to where your pointers pointed to at any earlier point of time.
There is always a reference frame where the rock isn't moving - and we all agree something can stay still, so there's nothing in physics preventing it from going as close to the speed of light as you want.

I don't know the details of what it would do if it was moving merely very fast, but curiously if it was fast enough, I'm talking unbelievably overwhelmingly fast, it would probably go right through without interacting. Why? Well, if you whiz through the electromagnetic fields of all the atoms in the earth fast enough, the forces won't have any time to transfer momentum one way or the other.

Replace <statement> with:
"German are Nazis"

...

Those are terrible things to say, your statement is no different. It is ignorant. It is a generalization. It is irrelevant. It is a stereotype. Moreover, it effectively played a key part in getting MILLIONS killed over the years.

I find it alarming that people are still debating whether this is a legitimate thing to say.

So, I'm currently living in mainland Europe. Amazon UK (native English) will be out of EU in the near future.

I'm ordering mostly books, but sometimes electronics.

There's tons of e-shops. Telling apart which one is shady and which one is not is really difficult. Amazon used to be trustworthy in my eyes and that feeling has faded.
You are maybe aware of this already then but someone here might like to know that the Fossil DVCS is built on top of SQLite, by the same author (edit as pointed out by Gaelan:) as SQLite.
Why use sudo with cron in the first place? Sudo is very restrictive in its action, especially in scripts. If you must use sudo with a script, run the whole script under sudo rather than have sudo acting on individual commands within the script.

Another thing to watch with cron is that its environment is NOT the same as running a script from your CLI, unless you specifically set those environment variables in your crontab.

Give root a password like it should have, and run administrative privileged cron jobs from a root crontab.

I used the ZenFone 2 for about a year ~3.5 years ago; it worked surprisingly well. It was impressive that it really "just worked" like a normal ARM device.

There were some annoying software aspects (the Play Store only allowed me to download x86 apps even though it could run ARM apps), and the device was 100% a battery hog - but cool tech.

> We also seem to be mixing load shedding... with accidental outages.

Not 'we'; I'm well-aware of the difference but the person I was responding to gave examples of accidental outages.

The US has considerably more of both than Europe, especially Germany (SAIDI measured in hours vs. 15-20 minutes), regardless of what investment-focused metrics the World Bank is giving.
Maybe the lives of people in the West did get worse due to Internet (debatable), but the lives of everybody else might have gotten better.

If not for Internet, I'd be a completely different and I suspect much more limited person (I'm from EE). Internet provided me access to role models in my areas of interest who showed me how high the sky can be in our industry (if not for that, I'd be some depressed J2EE developer/Project Manager in a local telco or something). People in the US can just have in-person access to such role models (e.g. by getting a job at some cool company, doing a PhD at strong US technical school etc.), while in backwater areas of the world, if not for Internet, you would not even be aware of this whole cool universe.

You raise a good point. When Trump throws out an accusation, it's generally a smoke screen to distract from his own malfeasance. His campaign managers have to know that he's lost the moderate vote by gross incompetence and failure to lead. Perhaps the entire goal is to induce fraudulent voting by his remaining supporters.
That doesn't make sense. Winter is the best time to invade Russia because you have fresh supplies, you are prepared for winter and you have spring, summer and autumn to secure it.

The mistake is to invade Russia in late summer because the campaign will be prolonged and you will have to secure Russia in winter, with your summer clothing, which is the problem.

*edit: But don't forget about the nuclear bombs and the evilness of war itself. It's never a good idea to invade Russia.

Not quite... GR is classical, so the diagrams don't represent quantum information. At least they are not intended to.
I think the author's use of the microservices is unfortunate and confusing.

With the BEAM, it is easy to create fully independent process trees. The architecture enables it. In fact, you can pull in dependencies and add them as "OTP applications" (which is in essence a fully independent process tree, doing its thing.)

The BEAM lends itself very well to structuring parts of your application as independently supervised process trees.

This is similar to microservices, where each microservice represents a fully independent process tree, with which you can only communicate via well-defined interfaces.

As I said, the author's comparison to Microservices is very unfortunate.

It's worth noting that many OLED displays used in smartphones don't have square pixels but are actually made up of a "pentile subpixel matrix" (do an image search for those keywords to see what I mean). That said those non-square red/green/blue subpixels are fixed and Russel Kirsch suggestion seems to be to somehow display differently shaped pixels arbitrarily. I'm not sure the kind of display technology he thinks could achieve that. Maybe E-Ink displays used in eBook readers like Amazon Kindle might be able to achieve this when the magnetic field is applied in a certain way? I'm not sure. Also I came across this quote from his son:
