That just seems like a convenient excuse. Do you have any actual data to support your claim? I notice that no one ever posts any peer-reviewed research, just a bunch of anecdotes.

Also the grandparent claimed that females made rules that benefitted the same gender. In other words in a school setting a same sex relationship between teacher and student is such that the student benefits. However this clearly isn't the case per my college performance citation.

Your claimed "women are wonderful" effect seems to stop conveniently at the career stage of life.

Fair use doesn't have anything to do with the percentage of copyrighted content displayed. Otherwise 100 people could just individually display 1 minute of a Disney movie and that's obviously not going to happen.

For fair use to apply, you need to critique, parody, or otherwise transform the original material in a way that adds something. If you found 800 like minded people then you'd be facing 800 different lawsuits that you'd probably all lose.
if you're so obsessed with 1948 you should consider reaffirming the original peace agreement.

Hey thanks!

I would love if you could say a little more here - what exactly do you mean by making the guitars less detached in the highs?

Currently iterating my creative process for the next album and one of my main areas of focus is creating a better strategy for constructing my mix. This album has many layers of synth parts and I found it nearly impossible to preserve all the detail I wanted.
You're not the only one to notice this. Take all your downvotes as a sign this project needs to happen.
I imagine they have way better office parties.
Serious question, why is this a data point we are required to ignore? There's been a lot of discourse about bias lately, so I feel like this is a data point people will welcome hearing. Thanks for sharing it.
A good IT team wouldn’t jump on the latest Tech until they’ve ensured it’s comparable and safe with the enterprises current tech.

There have been recent news articles that claim Sky ECC has been hacked and is involved in criminal activity. This information is not accurate.

At least in tech, the biggest cost center is employee wages, it's possible that this is what's happening here, the cost of employees (coaches) is probably their biggest cost.

Unfortunately creating another post/thread for previously mentioned content is a problem with most platforms (HN & Reddit included).

When there is a cottage industry focused on training people to pass your interview then you have a problem.

I think Allen Iverson said it well:

"We're talking about practice, man. [laughter from the media crowd] We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game. [more laughter] We're talking about practice, man."

Fun fact:

I had a recruiter reach out about interviewing at a non-FAANG company that is private. Being private there are no RSUs on offer but instead some kind of Company Funny Bucks doled out based on "performance" etc. Whatever, all well and good so far. Competitive salary but TC wont be anywhere in the same solar system as some of the FAANG total comps Im aware of for a position of similar level.

Then the kicker comes - I get an email about "interview preparation" and I kid you not it was every bit as intensive as AMZN. Do they really expect me to put up with this hazing for the same money I can go make without it? For Company Funny Bucks (told to expect 10-15% of my salary at best with a whole lot of qualifying "if's" in there indicating this was mostly fiction). Needless to say I performed a quick analysis of the value of my time and opted to politely pass on the interview.
Generally speaking, the clearly oppressed and disadvantaged group is the one we focus on in terms of equity. Men are not, nor have they ever been, that group.
Yeah, the "everything service" mentality is getting a little out of hand. The most recent, egregious example I heard of is the "language server" in VS Code. What used to be a plugin/library functionality has now been turned into a distributed computing problem with all its warts and gotchas. I've no idea who makes these decisions on a project like that and how they justify them.

Because it's hard and there aren't yet enough legal consequences for the use of this concentration camp prisoner labor.

While I agree we must get much stronger incentives/laws on our side we can't get distracted and pass all the moral consequences/imperative for action onto our side. It's less than half the equation.

We need to tackle the other side of this problem because CCP is directly responsible.

Bottom line Xi is perpetrating this genocide. That's the main fault & we can't 'offshore' 100% of the blame onto our corporations.

Even if we did get perfect decoupling I don't think that would be enough incentive to change China's behavior?

Morally, I don't think that alone is a strong enough reaction to these horrors and threats to Democracy.

We must hold the CCP & Xi directly responsible
I mostly agree, and that is why I mentioned that you should follow the general design guidelines for your respective platform. However, when creating a web app, general guidelines are more "implied."

The biggest reason why consistency is more important than following platform guidelines is for cross-platform apps available on multiple devices that have different platform design guidelines. It's obviously not feasible (and I would argue not user-friendly either) to switch the order of action controls for the same app on different devices, especially when the app is available via a web interface as well as native.

We don't really need diamonds, and the freedom loving people of the great united states of america do not produce most of things they use on a daily basis. They can all talk, but when a milk tea in San Francisco costs more than an earphone shipped from China, what's the choice gonna be?
Unions are a tool from when jobs could kill you, or were in exploitative company towns. They're a very big hammer to use for things you can do on your own, and when there are many other jobs to take. But they come with a lot of drawbacks that are more obvious the less useful their main mission is.

Pretty much every union becomes a job protection scheme where bad workers are protected from being fired, and they feel the need to speak politically for the workers in broader issues than simple worker safety, etc.

In today's climate it seems like they'd feel the need to act like school administrators, policing nonsense and being a bigger threat to your job than the management. The union would probably be refusing to box Dr Seuss books, etc.

Considering that Amazon workers are paid fairly well, and treated well (pee stories notwithstanding), it's not an open and shut decision as it would be for other jobs.
At this point there seems to be little benefit in shaming individual companies. At best it's a relatively minor cleanup, at worst you risk harming innocent people[1]. It looks like Which? focused on Google, this seems an appropriate long term approach.

> large group of people become fearful

What you're witnessing is new generations of PRC citizens with both access and experience in east and west finally realizing what citizens from global south that's been fucked by western foreign policy and news reporting have long realized: west is not the the bastion of morality it purports to be. The rampant unconditional western worship in PRC of the 80s-90s has ended, there's mass disillusionment with western systems and fatigue of western models with each hypocritical selective application i.e. weaponizing human rights. There's tons of Chinese users, either millions who hopped the wall or millions of diaspora whose finally engaging not because they are afraid, but because they're shocked by how brainwashed the west is and they're clapping back.

> ample evidence that's not the case

We have western manufactured consent mechanism regurgitating "evidence" and narratives that exaggerates (in both numbers and atrocity) a very repressive system from what it is, cultural genocide that has no diplomatic consequences, to what it's not, genocide which does. It's generic western self-serving human rights geopolitics. XJ propaganda has to engineer genocide label, because if it was merely crimes against humanity then it's unprosecutable, by consensus and design, otherwise many western countries would have to pay for their own atrocities. Also queue comparisons to Nazi Germany when it's more comparable to US prison industrial complex for minorities repression/management with no greater global outrage. China loves to copy US after all. Not to mention how many people latch onto the genocide label even though it is by far the minority global position on the oppose vs support continuum. The plurality is "support", not support genocide, but support Chinese XJ counter-terrorism. Let that sink in, it takes particular blindness to assume the LEAST endorsed position (not even minority) as default, but here we are.
Your logic is incorrect, but yes, let's just leave it at that.
> So a bunch of foreign powers

What "bunch of foreign powers", exactly?

Have a look at that Wikipedia article. No other "power" was fighting for Israel, as it was attacked by Egypt, Transjordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.

This narrative of "invasion" and "stealing land" is entirely false and irrelevant to 1948. Iraq doesn't share a border with Israel, neither do Saudi Arabia or Yemen. Israel also didn't claim any territory from any of the others.

It was just tribal warfare, pure and simple. The Arabs didn't like the Jews, so they attacked them.

Folks like to assume that Israel was "helped" by various "foreign powers", notably the US. The reality? Not only did the US not help, but Israel was under a US arms embargo since its inception in 1948. The alliance between the US and Israel only started when Israel decisively won the 1967 war, because at that point the US figured it was in its best interest to ally with Israel.

Yes you're missing the point. Most of that storage is hydro and there's a huge gulf between what's required to cover prolonged lulls in such as weeks as was observed recently in Texas and regularly elsewhere - and to peak shave, regulate frequency, and cover until CCGTs can spin up as we have now. Until we start getting to the multi-GWh scale it's a nonstarter.

Again, you either think climate change is an existential problem in which case relying on magic pixiedust in the future is an absurd, or you don't. There's no two ways about it.

I have to take the opportunity to hawk https://sievejobs.com, a website that lets you essentially block contact from Hiring Managers regarding jobs that are not aligned with your profile data, with Interview Format + Content being primary bits of metadata.

> Tech is the only field I’ve ever seen where your experience doesn’t matter and you have to prove your skills with every interview. In other industries, it’s mostly about personality.

This sounds like a good thing to me (for tech). The interview process may suck, but at least everybody has to endure it. And then you're in a meritocracy. That's the theory, anyway.
Ah I see. Yeah, that's a good point. But it's a very very steep hill to climb. In theory it would be nice though. There's just a ton of work to do to hit POSIX compatibility and simultaneously be as good at GNU grep at other things. For example, the simplest way to get the regex engine to be POSIX compatible would be to use an existing POSIX compatible regex engine, like the one found in libc. But that regex engine is generally regarded as quite slow AIUI, and is presumably why GNU grep bundles it's entire own regex engine just to speed things up in a lot of common cases. So to climb this hill, you'd either need to follow in GNU grep's footsteps _or_ build a faster POSIX compatible regex engine. Either way, you're committing yourself to writing a regex engine.

American Medical Association and various state medical boards, various legal bars, AICPA, CFA Institute, various academic accreditation institutes form a kind of network that even accredits colleges that still practice alumni preference (almost all of them)--a sort of union seniority rule that extends beyond into familial offspring.

Let me tell you about the system where null and 0 are treated as equal because in some programming languages will coerce null to 0. It just so happens that for an important business type in this system:

the range of the type is the non-negative integers up to (2^32)-1

semantically, the value cannot be null

when the value is 0, the code treats it as a special case

null is treated as 0
>It defended its services, stating they “strongly believe that privacy is a fundamental human right.”

How do the critics know? This appears to be an attack on privacy. The implied idea is that personal communication for all should be published at least to law enforcement so law enforcement can do a better job of finding the baddies.

That is common tone, isn't it? The Soviets were quite experienced with nuclear reactors as well, and yet Chernobyl violated their own rule and regulations during design and construction. And operations. And since this happened already it will happen again.

I changed my mind on nuclear power so, now I see it as an important stop gap to transform our electricity production to renewables. Existing nuclear power plants would allow us to phase out fossil fuel now. And they would buy us time to figure out storage for renewables. New nuclear plants won't help, so, their construction time is simply too long.
I am sure that if men were had been subjugated by women for all of civilization the outcomes might have been a little different. We'll never know, since the only civilization we know is one that has oppressed women for its entirety.

>Every country should create its own region where people who don't want to be under government's rule can leave to

Any such territory would become a failed state almost immediately. The eventual outcome will be for it to be re-absorbed by the state it split from (see East and West Germany), or become a puppet state of a larger neighbour that supports it financially for its own geopolitical ends (North Korea).

If the basis of any territory is opposition to centralized government, it's safe to assume that the people it attracts are also ideologically opposed to state-provided services like roads, streetlights, police.

Of course these are ideological objections, and they tend to disappear once it becomes clear what the reality of living in an 'every man for himself' society is like.

The settler's options then are to either rebuild these services from scratch, or partner up with a neighbour state to leverage their infrastructure.
