Indian laws, especially concerning marriage and divorce are extremely skewed towards women, in the sense that "its her word against yours" is almost a law unto itself.

Not long ago, a woman could go to a police station, give a complaint against her husband and family, and her husband, his relatives, even those living in other cities or even states had to be put in jail. There were numerous cases where educated urban women had their in laws families, including aging grandmothers put in jail, that was widely amplified by the media. This law, numbered 498a, wreaked havoc in the nation. The law was non bailable and once applied, cannot be withdrawn, even if the complainant wants to do so.

So you had a situation where, some urban women misused this law, causing whole families to be put in jail, without even as much as a preliminary enquiry, leading to chaos and a sure shot way for the marriage to breakdown. In a country where going to jail holds a lot of social stigma, no husband would ever want to reconcile with a wife who sent him to jail.

The law was, in intent, aimed at protecting vulnerable women, and in that intent, if used correctly, acts as a powerful deterrent to domestic violence, especially in rural areas.

However, for almost a decade, it was mainly used by urban and semi urban, educated women as a revenge tactic. The results in conviction rates, less than 5% for these cases, and the rapid increase in their numbers, lead to calls for reform. About 2 years back, the Supreme Court of India gave judgements & directed police departments to stop automatic arrests in such cases and only to make arrests after detailed enquiry. It observed that the intent of law was to reconcile and rehabilitate broken marriages due to domestic violence, but has now become a tool to harass husbands.

No wonder the society and men, especially ones with assets and reputations to lose, started to resort to such measures to protect themselves from false cases.

Edit : I would also like to add that normal divorce laws are also skewed towards women. They get favorable rulings in alimony, asset distribution, etc. Many of these 498a cases ended up being petty quarrels, where the wife wants to exact revenge, this was observed by Supreme Court too. The women did get their revenge by making their husband's families churn through the Indian court systems which are notorious for being slow and draining people financially, however, over-zealous usage and application of the law lead to dilution of a powerful law against those who actually suffer from domestic violence.
It's probably OK if you play big games like RPGs with open worlds that tend to be already slow, but the input lag is just too high to play competitively - obviously most people don't but we should aim for better.
There have been tons of display issues especially with the M1 Mac Minis. I honestly expect a lot of them to be resolved (if possible) in 11.2. Apple even called me directly so they could understand my problem better even though I had returned my Mac Mini. I'm confident they're on it.
The voters were asked three times: one referendum and two general elections, the last of which was won overwhelmingly by the party which had a single message - to 'get brexit done' - and lost by the party which denied the democratic wishes of every single region in England except London.

I've been trying to switch to Notion from Evernote, and I'm having a hard time. I really liked that Evernote could be a shoebox where I put all my random PDFs, receipts, user manuals, etc, alongside a smaller number of evergreen notes.

I haven't found that same shoebox aspect to Notion, which I think is by design, because people believe it to be an antipattern. But every time I want to save something, it needs to be need in some kind of database or as a subdocument to another document, and that's just not how I think of those things.
Not OP, but I've seen one small issue with using WireGuard on GCP VMs — you must limit MTU to 1380 or it starts silently dropping some packets and leaves you wondering why some HTTPS sites refuse to load (I thought I set up a VPN to avoid censorship? why the hell am I still having the same issues?) Probably an obvious thing for a networking expert, but it took me a few minutes to figure out what's going on.
This exact thing is called "washawasheo" or "washawashear" in (Mexican) Spanish. It would be cool to know what languages have this, as I'm pretty sure not all of them do (Russian doesn't, for example).

> I'm curious why you think RISC-V is the future and not ARM

I'm not sure Risc-V will win out over ARM, but if it does, I think the acquisition by nvidia will play a big part of it. It really depends on how open and cooperative Nvidia is with ARM IP now that they have it.

It’s interesting that you would say that constitutional gridlock is by design, and that the US constitution being extremely difficult to amend is a good thing.

No less a conservative jurist than Antonin Scalia repeatedly pointed out that he believed the US constitution was too hard to amend...amendments could be blocked by 2% of the population.

[https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2014/05/amending-the-con...]

To me, as an outside observer, it seems like the unseemly political shenanigans around appointments to the US Supreme Court are because the will of your Founders is too hard to override politically, and if the system of government was as great as it is made out to be, the philosophy and leanings of individual SCOTUS justices would not be such a huge deal.

> Wireguard won't upgrade itself if it's still running…

This is not unique to Wireguard. I’ve had this happen with the Lockdown app too.
This is an Apple problem. Apple should notify you that the VPN app needs to close in order to upgrade then offer you a simple way of doing that.

> I don't know exactly, and I don't really care.

This about sums it up. This is a rant and it’s difficult not to just close tab half way through.
What people shown is that local politics matter to them more than EU membership.

Very few people decided to forget their political preferences just for 'probably'.

So fair enough. UK citizens probably earned what they got into.
I wasn't talking about the actual researchers, I was talking about the 'ethics' people insisting on these sections (who may also be actual researchers).

I would expect most of the papers who have to fill in some impact statement to fill it in with the most anodyne thing possible and get on with their jobs.

I'm all for thinking about ethics, and particularly the 'adversarial attacks on poorly understood NNs' you mentioned resonates with me. That doesn't mean I can't also distrust people who want to claim 'ethics' for their political views.
> dismiss standard methods and models as baseless self-justification

I would argue that live training with a “set up for failure” is non-standard.

A standard training has the trainee knowing they are in a training situation. I have never seen this type of training used for any situation other then phishing training. And before you say “fake firedrill”, no I have never seen those outside of the movies, and I would believe a Simpsons type situation where you are actively putting workers at risk is the reason for that.
I meant something slightly different (and I did not write it very well at all), but to give an example I spent the first 15+ years of my career chasing success, upskilling, focusing on self improvement. And my identity became tightly coupled to my work and each little win felt good for a day or two, then felt empty pretty quickly after that. When I let all that go and found a stronger sense of self worth, I found much more career success than I ever had before without really trying so hard for it. It came more naturally. Therapy helped me with this journey.

Yes, that's the normal behavior. If you have 172.16.10.0/24 that you are accessing via a wg peer at 172.16.1.10, then that peer needs to have both the 172.16.1.10/32 and the 172.16.10.0/24 in that peers allowedips. Then you can set a kernel route of 172.16.10.0/24 via 172.16.1.10 an the routing should work correctly.

"I don't want to hear about your problem, call these other people and stop bothering me about it."

Just my guess of how some people would hear it. And honestly I find it a a little weird though; if most people calling the line aren't really suicidal, why call it a suicide hotline?
if its in the US, its probably that once you have the machine, and the tech, the cost of time and materials is probably less than 5 dollars, but they can bill the insurance $50-100. So they do it as often as they can, which under most insurance is covered one or twice a year. I could imagine it helping plan treatment for cavities, but for scaling? I doubt it...
We say -2 is even, despite the fact that -2 apples makes even less sense.
It is not subjective! Do the study and get the data. Before you risk putting your workers in a harmful situation.

(edit): And by study I mean show me that fake phishing emails are more effective then traditional training where workers know they are in a training situation.
This or put more generally ads don't work as FB says they do. It is much easier to blame faulty ml than say that people dont click ads.
Can you think of a counterexample? I wouldn't be surprised if you could trick a compiler with a goto but optimizing control flow is very much the type of optimization that Knuth was referring to. Now that almost all compilers use SSA I'd be surprised if it was the case outside of fairly deep control flow
Agreed. That’s something I struggle with with Notion as well. I use Bear for that currently (Apple-only though).

Edit: although I guess one solution would be to create a “Shoebox” page in Notion of the “List” type.
And it was a terrible experience. Just because it was all we had, doesnt make it good.

It's not common, but it's not unprecedented, either. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Mavis Staples, a legendary blues singer who's won multiple Grammy Awards.

I appreciate the offer. For me there's no great mystery; I die every night, and wake up every morning with that dead guy's memories. Life takes effort, and keeping that cycle going just hasn't been worth the effort for a long time. I made the decision months ago.

I think there are a lot of people who keep putting in the effort only to avoid imposing suffering on their loved ones and others. So, in a way I'm lucky in my loneliness: I'm free to be selfish.
I'm not female but I was in a similar situation. I would never have negotiated if it weren't for the fact that I knew how much others were paid.
> But presumably this is because the UK government doesn't want to import German cheeses.

I'm no expert, but I'll go out on a limb and say definitively that no Brexit proponent listed "no German Cheeses" on their manifesto. This is a retconned explanation.

Now, it's true that in principle that nations want some control over imports somewhere. But the point of the post above is that most of the time you don't, and exiting a free trade agreement means that many of those goods suddenly stop being available locally due to simple regulatory friction.
It's a very complex issue -

1. The current amount of charity is not enough, and there's a growing population of underserved people in these areas. There wasn't enough before COVID exacerbated it, so the demand increased by multiples and supply did not.

2. Many companies receive tax incentives to be where they are (which are often projected to be rosier than reality - see SF Mid-Market), so people expect the companies to "pay it back" in some way. This is ambiguous, doesn't really happen, or it's paltry sums relative to the lost tax revenue.

3. Several well-funded initiatives were stopped by NIMBYs (e.g. homeless shelters for SF should always be in someone else's neighborhood - so liberals will sue to protect their property value, more housing should be anywhere away from them and not block their bay views, more than 3 stories is offensive, or preventing meals for the homeless at a church in a nice neighborhood because people the same people who donated would prefer it doesn't happen near them). Turns out people can be altruistic and selfish simultaneously, which is how you end up with SF. Liberal when it's an idea, conservative once it might affect you.

Most would argue it's not the corporations' responsibility, and communities shouldn't be at the whims of a profit maximizing corporation's generosity (nor their employees). However, people are trying to find help anywhere. The federal government decided it's not their problem, so people are looking to the corporate world to help. Seeing Apple's $57B in profits while food banks are empty a few miles away is Hunger Games-esque, and makes them an easy scapegoat.

Some would say a lesson is that you shouldn't depend on individual or corporate generosity in a crisis, but GoFundMe is the preferred way to pay for medical bills for at least 70m people in the US, so who the fuck knows.
To what end?

If instead of christmas bonus, it was death of a loved one, would you still consider it acceptable (both meet your criteria)? Would it be acceptable to test employee susceptibility to extortion by taking compromising photos and then threatening them with it?

In my opinion no. Any sort of experimentation on employees needs to be ethical. If you screw people over in the name of security, you have now become the security risk. Making the security team be the enemy that the employees hate because they have been hurt by them, will lead to very poor outcomes.

Not a PhD but I hire many data scientists, with and without PhDs. Unless you are working in a research setting that requires publishing papers, you probably don't need to worry about having a PhD. You can work on your skills in a number of other ways.

This also depends on your long-term career goals. If you want to eventually manage teams or products, the years you put into a PhD might actually take away from experience around product design, strategy, management, and communication, all of which are critical to moving into leadership roles.

Some hiring managers even look down on PhDs as they can sometimes be too pedantic, nuanced, and miss the "bigger picture" around decision making. I wouldn't personally go this far but just be aware of the tradeoffs and biases.

Of course, if your only goal is to do research then you should probably get a PhD...

Source for your contention that “Americans frequently emigrate to the UK?”

Do you have any comparison for what cancer does to the finances of people in the UK? Because there is more to it than the cost of medical care. The cost of medical care is a lot less than that in the US: https://healthpayerintelligence.com/news/cancer-patients-pai...

“In a case study, a patient with lymphoma paid out-of-pocket healthcare costs from $6,446 in a large employer-sponsored health plan to $12,931 in a health plan on the individual health insurance market. These were all Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant plans.”

Note that your survey covers 2000-2012, mostly before the ACA went into effect.

The resource above says Americans spent $5.6 billion on out of pocket cancer care annually. There’s 2 million cancer cases annually, so you’re talking about $2,500 in out of pocket costs on average.
Many years ago when I was an undergraduate, I was told that the woman in charge of computer services for us cared mostly about whether her catclock worked. I don't know how true that was, a best part of a decade later I worked for them and would have easily been able to ask, but she'd moved on.

There was a method to this apparent madness though, because her catclock wasn't running on her computer, it was running remotely over X. So if the catclock worked, this meant the network was up, and key services to the remote servers worked.

If one of your classmates has remotely unplugged your mouse that's annoying for you (this is mid-1990s so telnet rather than SSH and by default X sessions are open to the world) but she has more important things to focus on - however if the entire network is down that's worth her time.

I do like Windows 8 on tablets and very small laptops. It certainly has issues but I appreciate what Microsoft was going for.

(I'm less of a fan of Windows 8.1. They made it more desktop-like but it lost its uniqueness.)
The intent behind spyware and Equifax's data leak are not comparable.

On one hand we have companies selling spyware for unlawful data collection (like wiretapping). On the other hand Equifax collects the data through partnerships and data-sharing arrangements that (whilst opaque to essentially all consumers) is generally well-regulated.

GDPR, the APPs and CCPA may curtail another Equifax incident but outright-illegal data collection needs a different solution.
Neither do I. There are different colors, alternating red and green, on the numbering. Perhaps that’s it. If it was a real Xmas theme, it would use the <blink> tag to make the numbers flash on and off. [Whatever happened to <blink>? It was once so cool...]

Some OSs allow you to switch to a monochrome representation, perhaps as an accessibility option. That might do the trick.

Perhaps there is a switch on the monitor, if it is an analog monitor.

Or convert to analog, use an S-video cable to connect to an analog TV, and disable the chroma signal. This is Hacker News, it’s right in the name.

Might be cute to do a multicolored numbering on Holi.
I almost never read the articles, only the comments. This is usually due to the comments correcting errors in the article, so usually I don't even need to read the article in the end.
From someone who used to be content with being alone most their life：Nothing hurts as much as being forced to be alone when you have become used to sharing life with someone else.

Consider the opposite though：imagine being trapped in a relationship both sides feel compelled only "for the Kids". If you feel bad for being alone, realize that what you got is the closest a human can be to true freedom. Only in being alone can you be unconstrained by the wants or needs (hell， just the wishes) of another person.

Your future self might envy this luxury of yours, so appreciate it while you can.
If you already bought the controller and like it you might be more likely to choose their console if you later choose one. Linux is desktop gaming is niche, but Android isn't and it could get incorporated there.

It's interesting, the concept of academic freedom is supposed to prevent individual researchers from having to in any way pay service, even lip service, to anything not directly related to their research. It is a fundamental principle of academic research, and your comment reminds me that even if as you say, people are just putting down some platitude about broader impact, it completely flies in the face of academic traditions where researchers are free to judge what is important and what is not in their work. This kind of requirement is an end run around academic freedom which exists exactly to combat any outside influence in research
