This narrative is touted in the western press, but has little basis in reality. In real terms, women were only allowed into low wage, low rank, and part time or contract work to juke labor force participation stats. Gender parity is worse than it was 14 years ago:

>This year, the World Economic Forum ranked Japan 121st out of 153 countries on gender parity, down 11 places from the year before and 41 places from 2006. Its gender pay gap of 23.5 percent is the highest among G-7 countries and the second highest in the OECD, behind only South Korea. And while the share of women in the labor force has grown to more than 70 percent, higher than in the United States or the European Union, most female workers in Japan have part-time or contract jobs, which are more vulnerable during economic crises. Of the 970,000 irregular jobs that were lost in April due to the coronavirus pandemic, 710,000 were held by women.

If you're just wanting the 2FA piece (and not the other fancy stuff that the Nitro has), I use the Yubikey 5 NFC and really like it. It's so slim I don't notice it on my keychain and it's very durable.

As of somewhat recently NFC is supported on iOS, so I also keep all my OTP tokens on the Yubikey, and can access them via the Yubico Authenticator app on a computer or on my phone.

One potential downside is that the only Yubikey that has NFC is USB-A only. Another is that there's no backup mechanism (which is by design for security, I guess), so you really need two Yubikeys and program them both identically in case you lose one.

Ayurvedic practitioners always said stay away from western medicine, chemicals the rip out your gut and change your doshas.

Back in the day these good bacteria were found in milk, but now its homogenised and pastuerised they are killed off. THe reason we need to pastuerise the milk is to kill TB, but TB became more prominent after the industrial revolution.

Our demand for industralisation has created the mess we are in now.
To be fair to you, they are pretty keen on stressing that, while marketing within the e-reader segment.

Conceding the point to you though means that there is still clearly a gap for those of us who want to read technical manuals (unless there is a device that somebody can recommend) between the brilliant linear-reading experience of e-readers and the smooth larger screen random-access UX experience of tablets like those you cite.
You don't think USB-C is the future?
The thing that isn't being mentioned is that Google allow apps that make "reasonable" attempts to block content that violates their anti-hate speech policy. Reddit has shown that they're willing to ban the very worst content. No idea about 4chan.

In the case of the Fediverse apps they can't block anything because firstly there's no resources to police it, and secondly it's kind of the whole point of federation to let the user see what they want without getting in the way.
Is there a page with more technical info, like how many watts does it produce or the size of the building or the estimated cost of the electricity?
Yes, it very much depends on the type of content you're editing. My take is that if you don't care about tracking formatting changes, you don't really need Microsoft Word - many other tools could do better.

However, when you're a professional copy editor of non-fiction publications, a substantial part of your work will consist of checking little details, such as making sure the titles of books, magazines, and articles are formatted correctly and so on.
"How big of an issue is it to target iOS as a platform on a PC these days with the rise of Flutter, etc?"

Flutter is nice. Yes, a single codebase typically works both on Android & iOS (sometimes, a little tweaking on each platform is needed).

The problem is: you can't avoid iOS SDK for iOS development. This is not Flutter-specific, BTW, but everything: React Native, Ionic, Xamarin, Pascal etc etc. So you need to have either a Mac machine, or access to Mac cloud server.

I vote the former, because it makes debugging easier.
Very interesting. I've always wanted to tinker with satellite data for various research projects. Though one issue I generally have is that I've always found that the applications I imagine require data with more frequency than the free services like Google Maps provide.

Does anyone know of any good satellite data providers with more frequent (somewhere between bi-weekly and daily) data?
I understand much of this is dependent on the nature of the project to determine what kind of satellite imagery you would need, different spectrometers at different UV ranges, different swathes, etc. but for now we'll just say something similar to the images in the article here.
If you're in the USA, Red Cross is giving free coronavirus antibody tests when you go donate blood so they can get more convalescent plasma donors. I was very mildly ill a couple weeks back (wasn't worth getting tested at the time with 6-10 days turnaround) so I've scheduled my appointment to donate blood this Tuesday. Supposedly blood antibody levels drop to undetectable levels a couple of months after infection though (note: we still have T cells for long term immunity) so this might not be useful for you.
This is mentioned in the article, yes. It is likely to preserve backwards compatibility with pre-existing email addresses from before the switch to Gmail.
All of those alternatives seem full of hate speech though
I understand that they want more information, but they don't need it. Ask your clients how they evaluate the performance of offline ads. Those same analytical techniques work online as well.

I think super-precise attribution would actually kill the advertising industry. The uncertainty is what allows ad-buyers to purchase spots well below their value. The uncertainty is what leads to money being spread around and supporting the most things.

It's a little like insurance. If insurance companies could precisely target rates, you would end up paying basically exactly what your health care costs are and maybe a little more. Insurance works because of uncertainty and large pools of customers.

There's a non-upstream OpenEmbedded layer for building OCaml components, but it jumps through hoops to coordinate OCaml toolchain with upstream OE releases, https://github.com/OpenXT/meta-openxt-ocaml-platform

This could be generalized to create an upstream OE layer that uses the upcoming cross-compiling improvements from upstream Ocaml, which would then enable MirageOS unikernels in OE meta-virtualization, https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/lay.... RISC-V support is in early stages for meta-virt, Western Digital added some support.

Forward the email with the explanation you've given to abuse@<sender>. Most companies should have someone monitoring such an inbox. If that doesn't work I'd call the desk of the cto or shame them on Twitter.
You're saying unexpected but China has likely simulated this situation a million times and prepared a plan. I would bet China is constantly monitoring for such deployment and will react long before the troops set foot on Taiwan. AFAIK nearby island are already heavily militarized.

Also I'm not sure how people of Taiwan would react to such deployment. Neither Taiwan nor China recognize each other as a separate country. They both claim to be the righteous government to one unified China.
> and thus the ability of the CCP to siphon off some of that for things like building mass detention facilities, is dependent upon foreign demand

Way off the mark. You could have an economy on par with North Korea and build those facilities. China's economy is 100+ times larger than it needs to be to build the facilities they're building in Xinjiang. If you rolled their economy back to 1990 on a GDP per capita basis, they could still get it done with zero problems. Concrete, barbed wire, guards, guns and slave labor are most of the necessary ingredients. The most primitive of nations have what's necessary to do it.
So what do you propose? You want the government to come in and enforce fairness? The HN talking point has been that users should be able to install whatever they want - with Android they can.
Wow, this seems like a great tool to help teach basic data structures. I'll be excited to try this out with my son.

A reminder that Gab is not a gray area edgecase, but a purpose-built platform for conspiracies and hate speech.
I've been using a T480 (same as author) and it has been very reliable. I even dropped it getting out of the van a while back and it landed on a corner of the laptop when it hit the pavement. It has still been running just as well as when I originally got it. :)

Respectfully I think the Umberto Eco line is a surface observation.

Any strength misdirected is simultaneously “too strong” and “too weak”.
That article was written with such blatantly bad faith language it had the opposite of the intended effect and made me start distrusting whatever Gab is (I had no idea before this thread)

> F-Droid won’t tolerate oppression or harassment against marginalized groups. Because of this, it won’t package nor distribute apps that promote any of these things

If this accurately describes Gab, I don't have sympathy for Yet Another Racist Community pretending that they're defending freeze peach.
Thanks for doing this. Really interesting, and I just bought a copy. :-)
I was an early adopter of Voat during the first Reddit purge but it turned into a racist cesspool. I'm wondering how many of these alternatives will follow that trend.
Private businesses must give a privacy notice with a way to opt out from information sharing. Is this not a requirement for a DMV?

It always starts like that. People agree to very sensible things. Like hate speech is bad and it’s not censorship if it’s not mandated by the government. Eventually the definition of hate or whatever it is that’s offensive is very removed from the original meaning, and now we all bear the brunt of the sensible people who with best intentions wanted to make things better.
Parsing Palantir
So? Any platform free of censorship is going to have some speech you dislike.
That is because the integration is not there in the linux ecosystem. Apple has this very tight integration because it controls both the hardware and the software.

But there are some companies which have started doing the same thing:

- System76

- Tuxedo

These companies test their devices well on a distro and well, it reflects in their pricing too!

I have a recent macbook for work. The only way I managed to get my 4k external monitor to run at >24 Hz—such a slow refresh rate it was painful to use—was with a $15 3rd-party utility[1]. And that was after failing to fix the problem with hours of debugging and switching from HDMI to DisplayPort.

The same monitor worked perfectly without any configuration on both Windows and Linux.

If WW3 starts and Chinese internment camps start popping up you'll find out that what people say in peacetime and what they actually think are two very different things.
I don't think they ask. At least it wasn't in the exam I had.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. We don’t have enough data to support that claim, probably won’t for years.

Very few peer reviewed treatments have been socialized. Most evidence is that things “show promise” then end up being less effective after actual analysis.
> - Sluggish UI -> I've never experienced this in the last three years of using my 2017 MBP.

Not the author, but perhaps they meant that the UI was sluggish to use?

I find OSX great if you have one browser window open, but start to multitask at all and I personally find it a real pig to work with. Open windows are hidden behind a tiny white dot on the task bar, lots of wasted space around the task bar, no snapping or window-splitting, the menus are detached from the windows they are for and you need to focus the window to get the menu to appear, the task switcher thing (expose?) is a horrible jarring swooshy animation that is awfully distracting with things moving around on the screen on their own as you are trying to look at them.

I find it so frustrating to use after almost a decade of using macs now - it does not get any better once "used to it". Linux (Cinnamon or Plasma) + Windows 10 are just so much more intuitive for me. I'd 100% bite the hands off of the IT team here if they offered me a Windows 10 machine instead of a mac for my engineering laptop.
I suspect you are thinking of a different writer. I've never read a Gibson interview where he said anything like that, though I have not read every Gibson interview.
What you're describing is Walmart consistently selling cheaper goods than any competitor can.

Its theoretically possible to run gather as fast as one cache line per cycle instead of one SIMD lane per cycle. I don't think anyone has thrown that much permute hardware at the problem, though. Its only profitable if you believe that scatter and gather do have cache locality even when they don't have regularity.
I switched from a MBP to a Thinkpad for flexibility & performance: hexa-core processor, 64GB RAM, 3 disks (NVME+SSD+HDD) running Linux (pop-os) with the intent of running OSX in VMs. I didn't like the iOS-ification of OSX, and this will let me run my beloved Snow Leopard, and even run some older aqua UI OSX versions as VMs. I'll probably get an ARM MacBook when they come out, as MacOS and iOS go well together... but 64GB is a HECK of a lot of Chrome tabs, and the 3:2 screen is as good as on my Chromebooks. Linux has certainly matured since I used it as my only desktop back in the comp.os.linux.advocacy days, which is just as well as I can't be bothered futzing with x.org config files any more. My X210 (nb51) "Thinkpad" gets about five hours battery life on a dodgy battery, but if I can find a real TP battery that should rise to 10-15, and I expect the ARM Macs to do 20-24 hours.
Last I checked 4chan bans CP and literally nothing else except that weird picture of two miscellaneous mascots riding a scooter.
Actually those Sony headphones are one of the reasons I am interested in Linux instead of OSX. LDAC support is not present on OSX, but it is for Linux.

The CCP can try painting whatever picture they like. It's obvious from many angles that they're building concentration camps where people are forced to prison labor, organ harvesting and brainwashing. And then there are regular prisons.

The whataboutism you're trying to push into the discussion isn't leading anywhere. I'm sure you'll find plenty of opportunities to discuss the US prison system, but this isn't one. Here we have people who have wronged nothing being labeled as extremists and then put into concentration camps.
The neovim integration is better than the main vim plugin IMO, since it's not trying to emulate the myriad features of actual vim. I wish the current top Vim plugin had taken the neovim-as-backend approach. Oh well.

The noevim plugin is decent, and allows most of your vimrc mappings, but it definitely has it's quirks. If the quirks got smoothed out VSCode + neovim plugin might just be perfect.

I assume you're being downvoted because of the terms you're using, but you're not wrong.

Extra class licensee here. On phone (Single Sideband "SSB" or FM typically, for those not familiar with the terminology, where you use radio for voice rather than data/Morse) I've heard all kinds of absolutely reprehensible things. In one single conversation where a man was ranting about mask mandates, he managed to throw in derogatory use of the word "retarded," toxic masculinity insults, homophobia (including equating it to bestiality), racist innuendo, and even a call to arms to kill our governor if they wouldn't stop this mask mandate. Myself and others tried to temper the conversation and return to civility, but they wouldn't have it. It's one thing when people say these things in two-way conversations on HF, with lots of frequencies available to change to if you don't like what you hear. It's another when it's on the local FM repeater with a single frequency shared by thousands of people.

In order for amateur radio to thrive, it needs to be a welcoming and inclusive place to everyone. Young scouts - children! - of all genders, races, and backgrounds are learning ham radio and tuning into their local repeaters or working HF. I can't imagine what they or their parents thought if they happened to be listening in at that moment. Hams need to all be good to each other, and keep the negativity, insults, bigotry, and politics for your social media pages. Let's get back to talking about propagation, antennas, RFI in the shack, debating FT8, doing emergency prep, or even just discussing the weather.
Where do we find the rules about exceptions? Are group communication apps excepted as well?

It's not obviously in the Restricted Content policy page: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/topi...

The rules there are extremely general, and technically cover all sorts of things which are currently let into the Store.
Ham radio (the human component) seems to suffer from the DnD 3.5 problem.

A lot of people invested considerable effort into obtaining knowledge.

Once obtained, they were free to coast. I take it there's no true continuing ed requirement to maintain a license?

Now, protocol / technical change threatens to render all their existing knowledge outdated. And furthermore, require additional effort.

Unsurprisingly, they're resistant. Said without malice, because that's just human nature.

Continuing ed requirements are usually a gimmick or BS, but in this case it seems like they might be healthy for the hobby. Demonstrating growth / trying new things? A nice process to gently nudge those not still actively learning back into the lower classes.

I've managed to play slow-paced FPS'es with the trackball (e.g. PUBG) and remain - well, not "competitive" exactly, but not total trash either. You can generally dial it in for great accuracy but slow turning, or less accuracy but fast turning. But not really both at the same time, unlike a mouse. (since there you can your elbow for large movements, and your wrists for smaller ones) With the latter option, you would not be able to hit small targets quickly. In terms of desktop use, you can generally find a balance where it can get across the screen in a single swipe, but you can still hit a button immediately, so it's an OK trade off for me.
I work with telco standards and the organizations that I follow use Word documents. The way we keep a paper trail of all the changes to a new standard’s draft is by separating the change proposals into their own documents (using change marks against the latest agreed draft) and only allowing a named editor to actually implement the agreed change proposals back to the master document. The change proposal documents, together with the meeting minutes create a perfect history of who proposed what changes and when.
Very interesting, thanks.

I don't understand the point of the "reactive" cell order, instead of conventionally doing top to bottom. It seems like it goes against the idea of "the program state being completely described by the code you see".
