>* Unions can't strike when they have a contract in place

shouldn't that be covered by contract law? eg. if company A enters into a contract with company B to supply them with widgets, then company A decides to "strike", they'd get sued for breach of contract. Doesn't the same apply to labor contracts?

Yeah, my first thought was "If this is called Phoenix and it's Cloud-related, I'm gonna have to swim through a lot of FFVII results before I find it".
Your format will have had the advantage of inheriting the ISO8601 scheme for representing leap seconds (60 in the seconds component). With an epoch, you have to either pretend leap seconds don't exist (typical on Unix), know when they all were before you can print a time or accept the drift (common with GPS units).
You made a lot of assumptions in that assessment.

No. Or more precisely, that's a false equivalency because you can only make it if you ignore some very important details.

> but I wouldn't be surprised if the business had been able to pay money to Google to be able to check reviews before they went live and mark them as spam.

Do you have any evidence of this claim? Have you seen businesses be able to do that? Surely, the hundreds of thousands of businesses on Google, one of them has talked about the ability to remove reviews.

> and a promise by the British of the establishment of a home for Jewish ppl in the region.

That promise meant next to nothing. The British actually tried to confiscate all the weapons held by the Jewish population before leaving Israel. They fully expected (and arguably, intended and hoped) that the Jews would lose to the Arabs in the ensuing war.

> Im saying that ppl shouldn’t be shocked

I think people "shouldn't be shocked" by the 1948 attack, and the many ensuing attacks, because the Middle East is a tribal region, has been such for centuries, and the Jews are a minority there. The Middle East has been an arena of ethnic and religious conflict for over 2,000 years, after all.
When I fold the X1 Yoga (Gen2) the keyboard retracts a little. It's still there but doesn't feel like I'm pressing the keys. The included pen works great to markup PDF files or sketch diagrams. It also has built in LTE (I don't know if the newer LTE cards work with Linux yet, I have a Gen2 because the card in it does work). It's not exactly comfortable to hold for long sessions, though the length means I can prop it up on the back of the seat in front of me on the train, which I can't do with a smaller tablet.

I read a lot in portrait and the 2560x1440 14" screen makes it easy, though it does make it hard to use a 10" iPad afterwards. I've also got a 10" Lenovo Chromebook Duet, but it's not quite good enough and the case is only useful in landscape. If I had to pick between my 5 year old iPad and my 5 month old Chromebook I'd take the iPad at the moment, the applications (Readdle Documents mostly) are much better for me.

The issue with take homes is they tend to be time unbounded for the interviewee, not the amount of time it take to review them AND there is still a whiteboard algo interview to do.

When your doing whiteboard interviews the interviewer is there the entire time interacting with you, so it's taking up 1.5hrs of engineer time at least for every 1hr interacting with the interviewee. Reviewing a take home takes less time.

Pumped hydroelectric has good capacity, but doesn't scale well. The right geography is the main limiting factor, accessibility is a second. The places with good hydroelectric potential tend to be very remote, in the mountains. It's extremely hard to do large earthmoving and concrete construction in remote places. The places that have simultaneously the right topology and relatively easy accessibility are limited.

I often considered that... in particular, because I (as a white male) am more bothered by the girl-boy discrepancy than by the black-white-Asian discrepancy (in the US).

Why? Is it just self-serving prioritization?

Reflecting more, I don't think it is. I'm naively assuming that the girl-boy difference is likely biological (either female brains are different than male brains, or the differences in sex & reproduction result in equivalent human brains pursuing different life strategies in different bodies), while black-white-Asian difference is likely social, probably related to culture and poverty level (i.e. no brain differences).

It follows that in order to optimize for social good & progress, we should adapt the education system so that both female-ish and male-ish types of brains flourish (note that there is likely significant overlap) yet we should help people out of poverty (which might involve changing education, but also probably other, much more significant efforts) and change culture (make schooling & achievement more important and popular) to reduce white-black-Asian gap.
_If_ you can get enough exercise, you can be healthy on pretty much any omnivore diet because it's so hard to not get enough nutrition, and extra calories don't matter if you burn them off. I personally lost lots of weight when I was cycling regularly to work and school (10km and 50km round trip respectively), as well as caving and climbing on weekends. Almost everything I ate was fast food, because I had hardly any spare time. But I was definitely healthy and felt great so long as I took enough days off (I was getting enough exercise that I simply couldn't do it every day).

Meanwhile, I know lots of people who have given up on vegan diets because they felt like their health was declining, even with regular exercise. I'm sure with enough care and nutritional science they could have gotten it to work. But it's so much easier to just add some animal products to your diet.
Men are the disadvantaged group when you look at things they do worse than women though. There’s no such thing as being disadvantaged overall.
You would not even run the CO2 plumbing into the containment building. There would be a secondary salt loop leaving that building.
This could be a consequence of the variability hypothesis[1] interacting with the way grades are distributed.

If grades tend to have a lot of negative skewness, that means that it pays to be in a group that has the least number of extreme underperformers, since your group's outperformers are handicapped due to the upper bound existing near the mean.

That means we expect men to underperform in domains that have lots of negative skewness in the outcome distribution, assuming [1] holds.

In domains where there's a lot of positive skewness in the outcomes distribution, we would expect the opposite result.

As a first step, we would want to check how grades are actually distributed in the raw data, and whether there is an inter-country correlation between its grades' skewness and its male-to-female differences.

There is no way to do this that I can find documentation of on the public internet. You'd think if it were possible, someone would have written a howto guide. Personally, I'm deeply skeptical that any such mechanism exists. The revenue it would generate would be negligible and the potential for reputation loss significant.

The CPI does include housing. And my citation for that is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whose job is to put it together. Here is the document with excruciating detail:

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/relative-importance/2020.htm

Housing is 42.385%, of which the shelter itself is 33.316%. The rest includes things like "Clocks, lamps, and decorator items" at 0.313%.

That's American data. Maybe the Australian data (your first link) really does exclude it, but the US most certainly does not.

If people think that the basket of goods is skewed, they need to justify that by comparing it against this list. The BLS makes a ton of data available, and it's unreasonable to claim otherwise.

Yeah agreed. Do they think Google just has some checkout button to block bad reviews for $299.
I'm not sure I see how this relates to cryptocurrency. It misses the core attributes that give crypto value: scarcity, and the fact that it can be exchanged for other things of value.

If there's no shortage of bricks, and those bricks can't be used (or exchanged) for anything other than the material for making the tower taller, then of course that would be pointless.

But that's not how cryptocurrency works. The whole purpose of proof-of-work is to protect the attribute of scarcity in a distributed way where one actor can't control (or change) the rules.
You know that the article is about a study demonstrating that women are outachieving men academically, right? It's outright suggesting that there is some as-of-yet-identified disadvantage there.

Any recommendations for learning image segmentation for medical images? I would like to learn how to use a pre-trained Keras model like FCN or U-Net. However, most of the resources I've found so far are a bit harder to grasp. Right now, I am reading 'Deep Learning with PyTorch'. The second part of the book covers image segmentation in great detail, but sometimes is too dense. I am familiar with CNNs, convolutions, max pooling, and so on, but not with upscaling and skip connections.

That's fine. Just charge the fake reviewers and fake review companies with FCC violations, and remove their reviews. Have them hand over their books for lighter penalties, then hit the companies buying fake reviews with enforcement orders as well.

Of course, all this is complicated by the fact that most of these companies are probably overseas . . .
A lot of people are comparing crypto to some kind of ponzi pyramid thing, ie a scam where some people will get rich but a lot will suffer. But isn’t that true about everything, ie smarter/more lucky ones will find ways to increase their wealth and those making suboptimal decisions will get broke? It looks like only when it gets obvious how the scheme works it becomes a scam.

Here is UN definition line by line.

There are so many many sources but here is a good summary from NyTimes: http://archive.is/93x6g

Quotes from article under each line item definition. Again so many more sources but that would be exhausting to compile.

- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group

"Those who have been held in camps describe a rigorous prison environment filled with monotonous political indoctrination and, for many, terrorizing bouts of violence and physical abuse by guards."

-Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part

"Officials have held one million or more people in internment camps in Xinjiang, the country’s most sweeping mass detention program since the Mao era. A wide range of behavior can lead to detention, including acts of religious devotion, travel to certain countries, violations of birth restrictions or installing cellphone apps that allow encrypted messaging."

"And the authorities have carried out the widespread destruction of mosques and shrines while turning others into tourist sites."

- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

"has used repressive methods such as forced sterilizations."

- Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

"Large numbers of children in Xinjiang have been placed in boarding schools designed to assimilate and indoctrinate them, according to the government’s published plans."

- Killing members of the group

Article doesn't have a quote and there isn't a lot of evidence here so it is likely not happening on a large scale. Though there are many deaths from poor treatment in concentration camps and forced labor camps.
Honestly it just seems like a beginner's weekend idea rather than something useful.

If I squint, I can almost pretend I'm insulted that my browser/Javascript had to render the Markdown instead of their server doing it.

I can't see how their infrastructure is making any real savings by doing this. There are usually more reasons to just cache the HTML next to the input Markdown. e.g. You can then make money breaking changes to the transformation without breaking old posts. Not to mention it now kinda pointlessly needs Javascript to do something trivial.

Unlike what seems to be the prevailing opinion on HN, I'm quite pro-Javascript and pro-SPA. I never saw the need to damn webpages to server-rendered HTML just because it's the only client/server system with the quirk of being able to send markup from the server.

But this sending Markdown over the wire with a 24kB Markdown script + `<script>$('post').markdown()</script>` is just cheeky. ;) Does it really matter though? Nah.

It looks like xsd:duration uses duration notation from ISO8601. The rules for combining them or designating recurring intervals are in ISO8601 section 4.4-4.5 [1]. Unfortunately, awareness and library support for ISO8601 interval notation are very sparse and most people/orgs just roll their own.

Court hearing Zoom meeting- alleged abuser found inside victim's home
This feels like a really bad deal for non Americans. From Intuit Canada:

> If taxes were deducted from your income, you can claim those taxes as if you paid them to the CRA. Because you have a duty to report all your U.S. income on your Canadian return, the income is deemed taxable as Canadian income. The usually lower U.S. income tax rate could leave you with an amount owing for the difference between the United States and Canadian income tax rates.

So Canadians pay (some) income tax to the US instead of Canada and the US gives us nothing in return? It feels like those are systems that were put in place with the assumption that earning income in the US would require the use of US resources (ie: living in the US).

That’s just a flat out bad deal for Canada and Canadians, right?
Agreed entirely. The goals of our factory system education are not in the best interest of the individuals participating. We home school largely for that reason...I want my children, both our boy and girls, to have individual creative thought, to explore the world, to rough-house, and to not just be a "good citizen" of society. Good citizens rarely make the world a better place.

I want them to challenge, think, be introduced to the complexity and darkness of history, be able to creatively write and imagine, and to not fall in line with whatever the societal expectations and agendas are for the week.
