If you're not arguing for policies that treat people differently based on their gender, then we would be in agreement. Individuals should be treated as individuals and not as members of a monolithic group based on their immutable characteristics. i.e. I should not be penalized for being a man, a Chinese person should not be penalized for being Chinese, a blind person should not be penalized for being blind, etc.

This doesn't seem to be what you're advocating though. You're defending policies that explicitly favor people based on their immutable characteristics. I understand you think it balances historical inequality, but I disagree with that.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes data on job occupation and demographics of the workers[1]. You can see that many occupations are at approximate gender parity (i.e. ~50% women) and some occupations are majority women while other occupations are majority men.

Let's consider four occupations from this list written as Occupation title, percent women. Computer programmers, 20. Insurance underwriters, 51. Human resource managers, 75. Pre-school teachers, 98.7. Why are women only 20% of computer programmers? Is it because 100 years ago women weren't allowed to vote and because today women have relatively few lines of dialogue with one another in popular films? Well, why do those factors uniquely affect female computer programmers and not other career disciplines? I don't think I would have expected that prior to looking at the data.

If relatively few women are computer programmers because of systemic sexism, is there less systemic sexism among insurance underwriters? And how would you know that apart from looking at these percentages? As male as the profession of computer programming is, human resources managers are even more female - is that because of a prejudice against men? And that's not to mention the apparently staggering bias against male preschool teachers.

In other words, if the only way you can tell that computer programmers are systemically sexist and insurance underwriters are not is because of the portion of women in those respective fields, it seems like that same logic would also lead to there being massive system sexism against male human resources managers and teachers.

An alternate hypothesis, which I do believe in, is that men and women tend to have different interests. Women, for reasons that are an ineffable mystery, like to be around children as an example. That's why they are over represented among teachers, especially teachers of younger and younger children. I think it is perfectly reasonable to suppose that women, in aggregate, are less likely to be interested in computer programming, and this lack of interest is what leads there to be relatively few female programmers, not the Bechdel test or the history of women's suffrage.

Is this true? It seems like Canadians drive less than Americans do, which I'm guessing is because Canadians live and drive in higher-density environments where they can make shorter trips and kill fewer people along the way:

https://internationalcomparisons.org/environmental/transport...

Just eyeballing it, it looks to me like the death rate from road accidents in each country correlates strongly with vehicle-kilometers driven per capita. Americans die at a higher rate because they spend more time on the roads covering more distance.
You really aren't. That assertion is like commenting that elementary arithmetics is discrete signal analysis because 1+1=2, which happens to match the amplitude of a resonance of a normalized vibration mode.

It isn't. It's a cherry picked example. A broken clock which coincides with the current time.
I am worried about the possibility of a chain reaction of electric cars when they become common enough. Imagine a parking garage full of thousands of electric cars and one spontaneously starts of fire due to a battery defect and then the ones next to it catch fire and then the ones next to those and then eventually you have a LOT of cars on fire that sprinklers cannot put out.
The bigger mistake was being single-platform.
I mean, any country could jump to the top of that league table by just building endless hospitals and immediately setting fire to them. There is still a question of value for money.

There may also be an aspect of funny cost accounting there. One reason given for the rather high medical salaries in the US, for instance, is the fact that trainee doctors, dentists, etc tend to incur truly horrifying levels of student debt.

> Now, [US] physicians graduate with a median $194,000 in student debt.

This generally isn't the case in most developed countries, but in that case the state may be spending more on _education_.
> When Reed began farming in 2005, he paid $120,000 for his first new tractor, but fast-forward to 2020, and the equivalent tractor’s price tag now reads a heftier $350,000.

The big question is why have tractor's tripled in price in the past 15 years? Regulations? Cars haven't gone up anywhere near that in that time frame.
> In the USA and many other places we, society generally holds that, below a certain age, people are still mentally "children" and unable to evaluate certain life decisions.

You can look through some of these consent laws and tell me what that age is:

> None of these use cases or security benefits require taking power away from the sysadmin.

Yes, they do! That's the whole point of the product. Why would you even trust the sysadmin in the first place? The fact of the matter is that a lot of data leaks have been caused by insiders - either willingly or via social engineering.

This technology provides a method of closing this loophole and aims to enable users (not private people) to have a secure domain that not even someone with physical access to the system and all administrative privileges has access to.

Whether it works as advertised is another story of course, but the gist of it is that no one is to be trusted; especially not the sysadmin.

> With the obvious note that lots of home users are their own sysadmins.

Again - this is not primarily targeted at home users. Plus the vast majority of home users don't even know what administrating a system even means. And TBH - why should they? "It just works!" has been a very successful mantra for this one company what sells iPods and such...
This might be hard to grasp for some greybeards, but hardware security by design is worth more than security cameras, NDAs, background checks and good work ethics.

And that's fine and you are free to not use these products then because they're not made for you anyway. This is not consumer level hardware (at least not yet).
All of It for a Moment Like a Lonely Island
I know an urban county in California where it's an open secret that one can greatly increase one's chance of having a carry permit approved by making the maximum allowed contribution to the sheriff's reelection campaign.

This kind of reminds me of the UC admissions bribery scandal. There are legally approved ways to bribe schools and politicians, so if one is inclined to do so, at least follow them. But in both cases the idiots in question have gone about it in a flagrantly illegal fashion. I am not condoning the practice, but merely recognizing the system as it actually functions.
OK. If your ground is "I think I can slightly defend the estimate of burglary numbers reported to 9 sig figs and not talk about any of the other concerns about the article...," then you may consider me less convinced of the truthfulness of advocates and arguments about wage theft than when you began.

Nuance is important; people who advocate for one side or the other, honesty be damned, almost never help the situation.
I always love and respect dedication to complete a quest that most people would call “pointless”.

Not OP, but it's a declarative configuration system, so an existing declarative language like Prolog would seem to fit naturally. Declare the relations between packages, the constraints that must be satisfied, and let the compiler perform unification to get the resulting configuration.

> Expense is also a nonissue on employer insurance.

My impression was that many if not most Americans would have to pay an excess (not sure of the American term; money paid by an insured party on using insurance) for any medical care with their work insurance. Is this not the case?

Oh, totally. I'm not buying into apple (again) anytime soon, so the only bad thing about M1's for me is that I just won't have them, no matter how good they are.

> But that's much the same issue where you're comparing it to Zen 2 when Zen 3 is expected to be 20% faster at the same power, and close a lot of that gap.

I expect next-gen AMD laptop processors to close the gap either in performance or in power consumption, but not both. Also, power consumption of a laptop is very much a whole-package deal, and Apple really shines here.

To be clear, I dislike apple for who they are and where are they leading the personal computing industry, so I won't buy from them. Nonetheless, I have to acknowledge that they make some damn fine machines.
This was actually not an option in the past. In one of those pre-existing markets you'd basically just purchase from Comcast Business instead for something like 100M down, same 2-5M up on coax for a few hundred a month w/o cap (and with mildly better support but still absolutely no help and will just hang up on you if you say you use Linux or your own router or modem).

That page is new, and it is particularly obnoxious and sickening that the only way to get an unnecessary, arbitrary cap removed - the cheapest option is to use their hardware that you are not permitted to control, that emits Wifi hotspots that you cannot control, and remotely-controlled passwords. It's pretty much a Meraki rental that isn't yours. It's bordering on AT&T home internet's equivalence of "if you don't want us to sell all of your detailed DPI'd browsing history, add $50/m to your plan cost".

I think the fact that 2048 was first released on GitHub pages was one of the reasons for its success. Virtually limitless resource for free.
I think the issue is that your nodes have swaps. Why will you have swap on container nodes? IMO, the idea with container management is to get predictability with resources. If you have 8gb on a node, you know that the containers get 8gb. You might not be able to tell exactly how based on how it's configured, but you know once they collectively use 8gb, that's it. Swap is going to mess up things really bad in ways you can't even predict.
Yes but that quip doesn't work when we're comparing the median. The US does have an absolutely nosebleed wealthy 0.1%, yes, but if you split the population exactly in half, and pick the bloke in the middle, he has really rather a lot of assets, relative to most anywhere else.

"The richest poor country in the world" might be closer to it. As the rest of the threads under this post will reveal, we mostly agree that something is wrong with this country — but putting our finger on what that is can be challenging.

You're downplaying my `safe-buffer` library without understanding the reasons that it exists.

The Buffer security issues that Mathias Buus and I uncovered led to the deprecation of `new Buffer()` in Node.js and the creation of the `Buffer.from()` and `Buffer.alloc()` APIs. There is an explanation here: https://github.com/feross/safe-buffer#why-is-buffer-unsafe

I created `safe-buffer` as a demonstration of how the API could be fixed to be safe. Then, the ecosystem adopted `safe-buffer` as a polyfill to get that safety even before `Buffer.from()` and `Buffer.alloc()` were included in Node.js. And to this day it continues to be used to provide safety in older versions of Node.js which lack the newer APIs.

tldr; We fixed Node.js and made it safe for you. But, by all means, feel free to continue mocking me and the volunteer work I've done for the community :/

Something doesn’t make sense here.

Say, you’re a business, and want to set up your own e-commerce site. Whether it makes money immediately or not, is not a concern, as the business will pay for it, and absorb the initial loss. And the development costs to build the site are already in the $50,000+ range.

So with all this upfront expense, why don’t the business just go with EC2?

Unless this is for some silly hobby website of yours, that you have no clue will make any money or not. Then in this case, maybe your suggestion is valid.
I think it first comes up in signal processing courses at university (or nowadays in deep learning courses, which makes people think of convolution as some mysterious deep learning specific magic sauce buzzword).
This generalizes to convolution in an arbitrary group (and even groupoid, and even category), not necessarily one that is commutative like the reals or integers are. For group convolution over a group G, the functions take values in the complex numbers and have domain the elements of G. The value of the convolution of two such functions f and g at a point c (a group element) is computed by taking the sums f(a)*g(b) where ab = c.

This has applications in quantum mechanics where non-commutativity plays a prominent role.
This article discusses the two circumstances under which US states may attribute criminal liability to a corporation: https://law.jrank.org/pages/744/Corporate-Criminal-Responsib...

But any black person coming legally from the Nigeria/Mali Area to the US will have a lower life expectancy than if he came to Europe?

Maybe this is crazy, but here is an explanation: legal immigrants are richer and more educated than average in their country of origin and thus have better outcomes after having immigrated.

My grandfather is living in Lincoln county WV (since before i even knew him), i know a lot of people in Huntington and Charleston, in fact most Americans i know live between there and Fayetteville, WV. I would be shocked if life expectancy there is higher than 70, especially if you're not in a fringe group.
I have the same experience as the above user. I primarily watch guitar and exercise videos, and have never had any complaints about the youtube algorithm. The one algorithm I do feel underperforms is Spotify's. For some reason, their discover weekly is always filled with covers of songs I already have in my playlists.
If you're a notable security researcher, there's a good chance that the rules of that program will drive you away from applying.
Furthermore, it doesn't involve complex conjugation, and (closely related) it doesn't have any property akin to positive-definiteness.
I hear this from a lot of people, so it must be real, but I honestly do not get it. If the masks fits well you forget it is even on.

My fist taste of convolution was in a discrete signals class while studying for a B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering. You’re right it was an excellent approach!
If you dig into the statistics, the reason is not what most people assume. The US has anomalously high death rates due to unintentional injury (accidents) in the young adult age groups, which skews the average for the overall population. If young people died in accidents at similar rates to the rest of the world, the average life expectancy would look quite good. This is the 3rd most common cause of death in the US, generally.

The primary source of injury in young people creating this situation? Car accidents. And remembering how me and my friends were behind the wheel at that age, this is completely unsurprising. Young people in many other countries do not drive nearly as much.

Everyone looks for medical reasons but it is largely fatal accident rates.

And you flip it to get nice properties like commutativity and associativity which correlation doesn't have (it almost has them, just that small flip is missing).

> a fleet of 3x 8000-lb semi-autonomous robots might be preferable to a single 25,000 lb tractor (since labor is no longer a consideration). This also has benefits for soil compaction.

Actually this is false. Turns out soil compaction is NOT linear with weight. Your 8000lbs tractor making 3 passes compacts the soil across 3 sets of tire tracks, the 1 25000lbs tractor does about 10% more compaction in the one set of tire tracks, but no compaction at all for the other 2 where there are not tires at all. This is why tracks end up worse then tires in the real world: same 10% less compaction, but you lose all the gains at the end of the row when you turn and now the tracks compact a lot more ground.

AFAIK Guix stays very true to the GNU values of ONLY shipping free software, including drivers. A couple years back I had a similar issue where I couldn't get my WiFi card to work because I'd have to recompile the kernel while including nonfree libraries... which is pretty hard to do if you know nothing about Guix!

Maybe I'll try it again in a while. Not sure if it's available for raspberry pi, but it would be great to try it there and eventually switch to it on my laptop (once JJ change WiFi card!)

I’ve known (without proof) about this occurring in Santa Clara for at least fifteen years thanks to one of my doctors complaining about the corrupt permitting process, so I’m just happy to see that the DA finally doing something about it (with proof). I assume the DA has some political reason that it finally matters to end this, or else they would have ended it ages ago.

If you’re curious to learn more about this kind of corruption, California has another bribe at the state level: the “11-99 Foundation” offers a license plate frame for a $2500 donation that, when placed on your car, mysteriously reduces your chances of receiving speeding and carpool tickets to near-zero — even from CHP. This is apparently legal, since traffic stops are discretionary, and no protections exist to detect or prevent discretionary bias prior to the stop. (Non-caucasians, 11-99 is not rumored to protect against racism, and may well inspire it under the guise of “heard a report of a stolen car”.)

I think it’s incredibly evil that this is tolerated and I don’t give them anything.
