In your example, the black trans woman has no choice about being black and no choice about their cisgender.

Technically, they have a choice about whether they transition, but the alternative is living with the emotional pain of extreme gender dysphoria.

Would you deny someone medical care for a physically painful but not life threatening medical condition (say arthritis, or psoriasis), or tell them that treating it is their choice and responsibility?

How about mental conditions such as clinical depression, or bipolar disorder?

Would you relax the requirements on businesses to provide reasonable accommodation for wheelchair access to parking and restrooms? After all, it is their choice to go out in public.

Would you allow discrimination for employment or a mortgage based on these conditions?

This isn't really that complicated. Gender dysphoria is a real thing, and while the choice to transition (with or without gender reassignment surgery) is a personal one, and likely never an easy one to make, it should be an option that society supports and simply does not allow discrimination against.
I agree on the iOS 14 handwriting update... for Chinese.

They'd get stored wherever is appropriate given what we already depend on to deploy software. If we deploy to our own data centre, that's where the secrets would go. If we're deploying to AWS, that's where the secrets would go.
There's a much broader project that can compute most taxes and benefits for France (and a few other countries) : https://github.com/openfisca/openfisca-france

It would be quite interesting to check that both the French IRS implementation of the tax & benefit laws and the free software community (though most devs of the project were employed by the French admnistration) implementation of the tax and benefit laws actually output the same results.
Better tell ISO, NVidia, ARM, Intel, AMD, Microsoft, Apple, Google,... to fix their documentation as well.

What's so awful about TV ads? I'd be fine with seeing more "mainstream" ads if the tradeoff was no targeting/tracking.
We tried to make it clear to employees that the package was only intended for folks who weren't aligned with this new direction. If folks were interviewing elsewhere, or just feeling burned out, and wanted to take it, but they were still aligned with the direction of mission focused, then we discouraged them from taking it. Of course, people can always lie about their intentions, but we're counting on the honor system preventing most of that.
I did my PhD work in the late 90s/early 2000s on a C++ parser. In my PhD thesis, I give credit to Roskind for the "lex hack" and cite his 1989 grammar. We reference this posting, basically: https://compilers.iecc.com/comparch/article/90-06-049 Very cool to see this history preserved.
I don't see the contradiction you mention. Stonebraker returned to Berkeley in 1985. The article doesn't say the Postgres project started in 1985. It says Stonebraker started a post-Ingres project then. The query language at that time might have been either QUEL or POSTQUEL [1]

But the ending as it is written seems correct to me.

CDLs in the US are similarly valuable.
For others who did not know what EB-1 is (like me):

> The EB-1 is a preference category for United States employment-based permanent residency. It is intended for "priority workers". Those are foreign nationals who either have "extraordinary abilities", or are "outstanding professors or researchers", and also includes "some executives and managers of foreign companies who are transferred to the US". It allows them to remain permanently in the US.

> Therefore, applicants who can demonstrate their extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim are not required to have a permanent offer of employment in the US and are eligible to self-petition, however, they must intend to work in the US in their field of expertise.
A New Kind of Physics: The Unifying Theory of the Wolfram Model
Any clinical intervention is going to have advocates. Same as any non-generic drug trial. It's a complete distortion of how science and medical research actually works to suggest people don't have a hoped for outcome. The French scientist who is one of the main proponents of HCQ obviously wants it to succeed. The American media establishment and some of its scientific community obviously want it to fail. To pretend like they do otherwise is to engage in a different form of bias that attempts to conceal itself by denying its existence.

This seems like a pretty large misreading of the situation.

Yes, the most disagreeable thing about Apple's IAP policies is where they forbid links to alternative purchase pages. But it is also the smallest of the current complaints.

It's not "additional" means of purchases many companies are pushing for. They want to be able to avoid offering Apple's IAP whatsoever.

I mean, ProtonMail did not have IAP in their app at all, but offered options to pay for their service on their website. Apple insisted, as you suggest, that they "at least offer the platform's own payment service as initial and preferred choice," and now ProtonMail is saying that is "Mafia extortion."
Maybe I’m wrong but what is the causal link between productivity and wages, especially minimum wage?

I always thought that cost of living dictated wages and the so-called wage stagnation was due to relative lack of inflation for basic living expenses over the past 20 years.

Also the past 20 years have seen a relative large influx of immigration compared to the previous 20 years. Increasing the competition between workers and would in turn lowering wages, at least according to supply/demand forces. This effect would be especially pronounced for minimum wage workers but with the expansion of the H1B program it will soon be observed for high income tech workers as well.

18 months is the standard.

It goes like:

Employee's quitting, termination or reduction in hours: 18 months

Employee's divorce: 36 months

It can be further extended based on other events like disability, partner's illness etc.
And though a tooth may bend the purest coin, remember too how gold will knead reason and virtue themselves like dough.

I'm a child of an immigrant, do you know when the bar for citizenship was lowered to the point where some of the recent immigrants border on mental retardation? I'm not trying to be xenophobic or racist. I'm being literal, I keep running into people who have been let into the country and don't have any knowledge or skills to offer anyone and they are working in technology. The bar for actually getting into the country used to be much higher and I'm struggling to find out when this happened.
> Long registry lookup times (2-5mins) when starting a new session

I'm not sure what you are referring to here. Yes, sometimes after you've installed new packages, the Julia VS Code Language Server has to do some re-indexing which can take some time, but they've improved this and you can still program and use the integrated REPL while this is occurring.

> Ctrl-click navigation does not work to lookup definitations in libraries

In VS Code, F12 (Go to Definition) does work. You can also use `@edit foo(x)` in the REPL.

> Filters and maps are not lazy

Use Iterators.filter or use generator expressions.

> Package management is done as a part of script execution

I'm also not sure what this refers to, but the package manager in Julia is one of the best things about Julia.

> Editors (Juno) do not check types at runtime when the information is readily available

The VS Code Julia extension has a linter that is pretty helpful. It's not perfect, but they're actively working on developing it.

> DataFrames.jl: Transform does nonsense (use map instead)

The new select and transform functions in DataFrames.jl are actually quite powerful and useful.

Transpose is not a generic concept for a table. Sure, it might make sense in specific cases, but in general it doesn't make sense to transpose a table.
Yes, I said that in the context of this thread, specifically the GP post that said:

Ignoring all context and calling this a "childish analysis" does nothing to further your arguments, and is yet another example of your comments going to the extremes.

You show a dogmatic support of SPAs without any consideration for the repeated statements that they are overused and not fit for the majority of the interactivity that people use them for. If you refuse to accept this than there's nothing more to discuss.
Now we are just guessing. This is a press release, which does not contain enough technical info. So one can't say how groundbreaking this is.

Up until around 1990 or so 55MPH was the maximum speed limit; this was originally to conserve fuel. Up until 1995 55MPH was the maximum except for roads very far from population centers.

Even after 1995, many states were very slow to raise the speed limit (I lived near the Maryland/Virginia boarder and remember Maryland did well before Virginia), and when they did raise the speed limit it was by small amounts.

Today, you can drive from Los Angeles to New York and not hit any significant stretches of freeway with speedlimits under 65, and west of the Mississipi river, you will spend most of it at 70mph or higher.

On top of that, the actual speed that will get you pulled over can be much higher (In CA you are very unlikely to get pulled over for single-digit MPH speeding on a freeway, making a 65 speed limit a de-facto 74; in the northeast US it's not uncommon to get pulled over for going just 5MPH over the posted limit).

I'll admit it's been a few years, but every time I've looked at molding, it's either carved out of 1x6 stock or pressed out of some fiber material and shaped as if it were.

There is a small triangular void that you fill with a triangular piece of wood [backing strips, that's the phrase I was looking for] or some wedges at intervals in order to support it.

In this age where rare earth magnets are getting cheap, it'd be cool to have wood or coated MDF trim that's secured with magnets and little ferrous iron inserts. Then you just need a stronger magnet (like those passive stud finders) to pop the whole thing off and run more wires.

Of course the next problem is you have a narrow, concealed raceway full of plastic insulation, which is something that rodents like to chew on...

If I try to look for crown molding, I'm seeing a lot of accent light solutions built into plastic molding (you leave a gap for the light to come out from behind the molding). It's... okay. I'd rather have 10g ethernet in my house though.

> If PWAs supported APNS, Apple would have a significantly more defensible anti-trust position, but Apple has shown that they just have no interest in making things easier for themselves

I've been wondering about this for the past couple of weeks.

If iOS had first-class support for PWAs they could probably keep running the AppStore in any way they wish.
There are studies with azithromycin that show no benefit. As far as I’m aware no published RCTs with HCQ + zinc.

But there was further research showing HCQ mechanism doesn’t actually do anything so HCQ studies lost steam because they were a waste of time and effort.
I wasn't referring to any of those studies. I was referring to this one, which is obviously poorly designed if it's attempting to test the efficacy of HCQ treatment as it is actually proposed.

This being shitty science has no bearing on whether HCQ works on not, but does relate to why people distrust the medical research establishment.

No, not really. This is a narrow picture of reality. People are often willing to sabotage their own bodies and drive their bodies toward obesity, clogged arteries, and liver disease while not spending the money to go to a doctor for annual checkups or flu shots.

There was an interesting article the other day how the current president of CNN emphasized Trump coverage prior to the last election because it boosted ratings. Coincidentally, he was also the president of NBC and in charge of entertainment programming when he signed Trump for The Apprentice. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/20/business/media/jeff-zucke...
this is explicitly addressed and refuted in the article.

I think this a a demonstration that trickle-down economics doesn't work, because additional capital injected into a capitalist system tends to be captured by the capital at the top. Rationally, you would expect productivity gains to be captured disproportionately at the point where the gain occurs, on the assembly line, not back up through the hierarchy. But because of the rich-get-richer mathematics of capital, those gains tend to get sucked up to the wealthiest tier in the corporate structure.

In practice, this means monopolizing identity. Facebook wants to become the source of truth for identity on the social web. This is why you can't use their products without an account, now including Oculus, which you can't use without a Facebook account that has a "Real Name" policy.
there is a microscopic line between 'dealing with issues like polite adults just trying to get the best outcome' and 'collectively acting like the truth is simply too rude to speak'. maybe not a fine line at all - by the time you've gotten to 'A', 'B' is starting to sneak in.
That's really sad to hear.
Right - writing slows down the rate at which the writer’s attention moves from one concept to another, which in turn means more time is spent per concept. This apparently results in better memory retention.
Agreed, a comparison of the median is better. Although, it’d be nice if the mean and median weren’t too far apart.

Taming the Many EdDSAs
I work in a company with ~20 years old code. Huge code base as well (TBs of code).

It is mostly team dependent... the company adopted a monorepo for the majority of its code and I think in the monorepo everything has a place and you know where to find. When you put merge requests it automatically CCs the team leads of that path of the mono repo.

Everything also either works together or doesn't through CI/Build. It uses a trunk driven development, the trunk of the repo is always released.

Also, avoid adding dependencies at all costs. Those are the hardest to maintain over long period of times.

It has worked well so far ...

It’s a shitty study because after we all know the results you are post facto complaining that they studied the wrong thing?
French here. I have no intention to downplay the reported behaviour, just to give some perspective.

First, the military vs police comments sound a bit off to me. Technically, the most incriminated force, CRS, are part of the "gendarmerie nationale" which is a branch of French military. But the comparison stops here, for all purpose they are trained and behave like a police force, only one dedicated to handle riots. Which puts them more than other in a position to commit abuses, hence the focus on them.

In the recent years, there has been a tendency to equip them more and more like terminators with body armors and weapons like rubber bullets, tasers and the like. It is not well perceived and subject to continuous debate. But they have nowhere near the level or weaponization of US police force (almost typed "military" there, that is telling).

What Amnesty International reports here is known, it makes the headlines all the time in national newspapers, and a lot of people (me included) are not happy at all about it. There are ongoing inquiries and CRS and police in general do not have the same level of immunity as in the US, even though more scrutiny is always welcome.

Finally, keep in mind the level of violence in France is not comparable to the US. Every report you may see about it should be read relatively to what we are used to. From a different viewpoint, two policemen have been attacked and severely beaten two days ago. This is a national news, something exceptional, making again headlines on "Le Monde" (probably the major French newspaper) since then.

But sure, maybe caused by terrorism and black blocs, the level of violence in police response has increased. This is a major issue and a big topic, not something ignored. And it should not be.

In general, I think the concern is whether it's a gender role that women are being forced into as opposed to something that they really are choosing voluntarily. Those two things can be hard to separate though. During the current pandemic, the data I've seen suggests that women are disproportionately dropping out of the workforce for childcare and other reasons. Of course if someone has to drop out of the workforce in a family, that may or may not be a "fair" response.

One other big reason for failure is overseeing luck. Especially if you are new to something and without the judgement of past endeavors you somehow manage success with either sheer luck or with luck having a great role in it, you don't exactly how you achieved success.

I greatly enjoy learning about this area of research, so thanks for your insights. There is something very sci-fi about it. My intuition also tells me that "off" doesn't naturally apply to unpowered devices and that the states are "active" or "asleep". I get the privacy concerns, though we are rapidly entering a world where that doesn't exist at all, so maybe it won't be relevant once these devices exit the lab. The walls have ears, indeed.

That's true, but not direct evidence.

The direct evidence is:

- the Huawei founder is PLA, which reports to the CCP

- every company over 50 employees must have a CCP cell (that's now regardless of size)

- the CCP has various national technology targets with goals that cannot be met without Huawei

- the CCP can/does coerce any citizen or their family globally

- state media covered up the deaths in their materials research building last week before the fire was even out, showing there's no independence.
On an EB2 people like me have decades of wait time to get my GC.

I think a sustainable way is to have professors and universities collaborate with H1B employees directly, to allow for them to publish papers and get in via the EB1 route. It won't work for every one, but could work for some and improve their situation and free up the Eb2/3 queues.

We already have grants from the industry to universities to do research. Is there something like this out there for immigrants like us?
