They did and Twitter removed it. CCP called this genocide a success. It's so sad. They also reported

CCP called Uygur women 'baby-making machines'....

Plus CCP published themselves large large drops in reproduction among Uighur women: "Between 2017 and 2019, the birth rate in Xinjiang almost halved, dropping from 15.88 per cent in 2017 to 8.14 in 2019, according to an annual report compiled by the National Bureau of Statistics of China."

Study shows that in the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Uygur women in Xinjiang were emancipated and gender equality and reproductive health were promoted, making them no longer baby-making machines. they are more confident and independent.

Yeah reviews are a shitshow almost no matter what.

It's human nature to be predisposed to leave reviews when you have a bad experience.

Then you have those f'ing weirdos who leave reviews like "Burger was really good and all but the food I had at the French Laundry was way better! 2/5 stars!" at a local pub or something.

And then if the owner gets caught up in some shit that hits the news the reviews get brigaded by trolls who don't even live in a 500 mile radius or have any intention of ever going.

If you're truly interested in finding a good place to eat or get your oil changed or whatever there are far better methods than Yelp or google reviews.
Altus Assessments | https://altusassessments.com/careers/ | Canada | Full Time | Remote(EST ±3)
Altus empowers higher education institutions to look beyond book smarts, and to identify and nurture exceptional professionals by using unique data to generate meaningful insight that influence key academic decisions.

We’re a quirky, vibrant, and diverse group of 60+ working collaboratively to tackle some tough problems (like how to evaluate empathy in someone who wants to train to become a doctor), and some less tough ones (like how to answer that bonus question on Trivia Night).

We're a team of 11 developers working across several Javascript focused stacks. You'll have the chance to work with a range of different problems and hopefully learn some new skills too. During product development you'll be able to focus on implementation of features from start to finish. If that involves making database changes or spinning up a service on AWS you'll have the freedom to do so.

We’re hiring across a number of open positions:

Software Developer (Intermediate & Seniors) - We have a few dev teams hiring. https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/9706468867/

Director of Engineering - https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/FA01C7CEDC/

Platform Product Manager - https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/3304D221EE/

Senior QA (Quality Assurance) Engineer - https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/123D7B8FDA/

We don't have a public posting for this role but if you're a DevOps focused individual please do reach out. Ideally looking for someone that has experience with scale, comfortable with leading discussions, and taking ownership on decision making for cloud related decisions. We have some interesting (IMO) problems as we're growing quickly and so is our cloud presence!

If you want to know more about our team culture or have questions about these roles feel free to email me at gguja [at] altusassessments.com or apply directly.

We don't do white boarding/puzzle questions as part of the interview process, however we do ask applicants that pass the phone screen to make a presentation on how you would approach a system design problem.
Thank you!

We've structured the product and flow of funds such that we are exempt from MTLs and the Bitlicense. The volume limits and data collection we perform are all within the legal framework for AML. We may adjust them over time as we develop our risk model. I believe it is possible to have security without sacrificing privacy. :)
How Plug.Cowboy works under the hood
Oh - combining a date/timestamp and a duration, such as xsd:duration (http://www.datypic.com/sc/xsd/t-xsd_duration.html). I've never seen them combined into a single string, though there have been times when that would have been really useful!

The waste argument should be made in comparison to the alternative baseload option: carbon.

Carbon waste is worse than nuclear waste, yet is given a free pass because it floats and we can’t touch it or see it. But it is very real.

Interesting. For my field (cardiovascular genetics), the results weren't really what I was expecting. I think that my expectations probably fit pretty well with a PageRank graph of citations. So my guess is that the "relevancy" is semantic only?
Makes sense. I read Invisible Cities and really didn't care for it. It seemed decently written but was just terribly uninteresting. I'm trying to work through Borges' Ficciones at the moment and I like it even less.

Inaccurate analogy. Miners are more limited by cheap electricity/cooling than CPU which is more generally available.
Disney could remove that thank-you note from the Mulan credits. It didn't.

That's the same Disney that takes action against any works in its catalog that have any trace of supposed racism.

So, Disney tirelessly takes action against dubious subtle traces of racism in 60+ year old works, but won't take any action against real racism subjecting millions of people in China, right now. In fact it embraces this current racism.

Why? Because Disney wants the lucrative Chinese market and needs to play nice, cooperate with, and sometimes even praise the CCP which operates these racist prison camps.

So all the moral outrage against racism in the Muppets etc is just meaningless virtue signalling. Everyone is really doing what is in their best interest, but sometimes it is beneficial to dress that up for PR purposes.

Which is my point.
Discipline is probably the wrong word. More training in order to succeed in an unnatural environment (modern school) is maybe a better way to put it.

Teachers are more lenient in their marking of girls' schoolwork, according to an international study.

An OECD report on gender in education, across more than 60 countries, found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of the same ability.

When it comes to teachers' marking, the study says there is a consistent pattern of girls' work being "marked up".
Looks like someone missed the buying opportunity lol.
It's also kind of cool because a lot of the games are created by other kids. Roblox Studio is fun to poke around in and has gotten my 8 year old very interested in programming and to an extent, entrepreneurship.
We Should Ban Oppressive Speech Acts
The law gives unions rights essentially as a political deal in exchange for other restrictions on unions. In exchange for the law forcing companies to bargain with unions and giving some protections:

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

* Unions can't strike in solidarity with each other (ie the teamsters can't strike to help a longshorement strike)

* There can't be more than one union covering the same workforce

* Unions must give advance notice of strikes

etc

Poor choice of words on my part. I meant British occupation of the region at the time and a promise by the British of the establishment of a home for Jewish ppl in the region.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I’m not anti-Israel. Im saying that ppl shouldn’t be shocked that there was a hostile response by neighboring Arab nations when Jewish ppl asserted their claim to a new state in the region.

Basically what I did a terrible job of trying to get at is - that Israel isn’t special. Try create a new state anywhere and ppl around that area will get mad, doubly so if your beliefs don’t align.
I've built a serverless webhook dispatcher at my previous job and you can actually cover most of the scalability and resiliency requirements with a few AWS services. I think what is hard to build and the core value that your service provides is the management, governance, and monitoring around it. I would focus there as the main selling point. Kudos for launching it and good luck.
No, they wouldn't be worth paying for.

The value of a standard is that it is universally used. ISO standards are only used by people who can afford to pay for them. The very act of charging for them reduces their value.

The requirement of standards adherence for government contracts can raise interesting questions around paid-for standards, too.

Also, the point of standards isn't "learning". The point is to agree on common definitions. It enables interop, that's it.

Hydro seems to also have bad implications for wildlife habitat. Here in the Northwest US, there is a lot of desire to remove some dams to restore salmon habitat. I'm not quite sure if this is because these old dams were built before habitat preservation was a major consideration, or if it's an irreconcilable problem.
I’m not familiar with the reasons folks discount the absorption hypothesis.

If there were more sapiens than Neanderthals, one would expect the Neanderthals to interbreed and fade away.

Relative ‘superiority’ and mutations and the like don’t even come into it... if a Neanderthal thinks it’s cool to have an exotic sapient chick, or vice versa, the ‘race’ will disappear in a few generations. I don’t see many pure-bred Mayans in Mexico these days. (Or, for that matter, pure-bred Spaniards.) The Neanderthals certainly had some odd skeletal features... but, if one were objective, you can find similar variety amongst skeletons (particularly skulls) of modern humans. I don’t mean feature similar to Neanderthals; rather, I mean a level of variety that is similar in degree to the differences between Neanderthal bones and the ‘average’ modern.

It'd be interesting to see a time when people study why men fail at school, and are a minority of successful graduates.

I find it fun to share that my boss is a woman, her boss is a woman, and _her_ boss is too. And they're all at or past mid career and highly successful managers at a world-class technology company. JPL is a wonderful place though.
> Pay-once has the huge advantage that the barrier to entry is much lower. I'm pretty sure that it's much easier to sell a 50€ app than a 10€ subscription.

I think you've got it backwards. I can't think of many examples that suggest that this is true.

The iOS app store is a very hard place to sell an expensive $50 app, yet it's a very easy place to sell 7-day trials that turn into $10/month subscriptions. Immediate cash outlays are always harder to sell than pay-over-time deals for various reasons.

One reason being the customer's attempt to avoid the feeling of overspend: that you can always stop subscribing when you're done rather than getting "stuck" with the product, even if the one-time cost is a better deal. Another reason just being that you're asking for less money upfront which is always easier.

In my own experience, people will even stick with a pricier monthly billing option over the yearly billing option just to avoid the larger hit, even when they've been a customer for five years and know they'll still be subscribing a year from now.

I certainly appreciate how us HNers might prefer a one-time cost over a subscription, but I wouldn't try to generalize that to customer behavior.
I looked at your comment history and it’s true, your previous posts did get attacked with downvotes. That’s lousy, it isn’t the right way to challenge somebody
Right, it's a mating strategy probably. I'm not sure it works (we tend to select towards strong men in whatever capacity is relevant, in this case actual intelligence) but a desperate man will gladly debase himself tactically if their other wells are dried up.

People would rather be liked than respected I guess but I also think that many today can't tell the difference.
That’s definitely an interesting take, and I do agree, though in some ways I think this approach can deal with that problem.

Obviously the “work” asked of a user to create a post would be a new roadblock, but if they’re automatically created in most rich-content scenarios, no additional work would be required.

Even now, the reply feature arguably takes as much work as writing a comment on a post, though to some degree it lacks that immediacy.

On the flip side, visiting a comments section tends to feel more timeless than the conversation thread, so by automatically creating these posts within the feed, there could be more long-term value in each post, without drastically disrupting the immediacy of the chat.

I wonder if that hurdle is too large to jump, or simply a new feature for a user to take a few days to acclimate to?
I also would hesitate to recommend IOAWNAT to your average reader, despite thoroughly enjoying it myself. You have to have a certain patience for literary tricks to really enjoy it.
Because Google, Yelp, Trustpilot, Amazon, etc. actually run the services, and they have the technology to validate it, but simply can't be bothered to get it right. So, they sell you allegedly good information, but deliver fraud.

From the examples in the article where the reviewers covered multiple businesses hundreds of miles apart like they were next to home, Google certainly has the location data to see if they were ever there, or for local businesses, knows who lives in range to be customers. Amazon and others have massive data on their users, and could apply a lot of AI tech to validate reviews for credibility, if they wanted to bother to do it right.
Probably investment banking.
Yep - we needed the distinction for a scheduling/rota app.
Some users had shifts that started at 24:00 and then ended sometime during the night. Other users had shifts that ended at 24:00.
I know that it's common to use 23:59 in the latter case, but IMO that's just a poor workaround; and I'd argue that 16:00 -> 00:00 is a lot less obvious than 16:00 -> 24:00.

As for a shift that starts friday 24:00, you could argue that the shift is actually a 'Saturday 00:00 shift', but the users didn't see it that way; they are scheduling Friday nights shifts and want an extra person late Friday evening.

I agree with you in theory, but in practice they are very different situations. For websites, the website owner loses traffic if they don't offer a secure experience -- they are in complete control of their destiny.

For email, the user loses deliverability and may not even be aware of it. Also it's often not within their control to fix. Marking non-signed emails as such would put a huge burden on email users and they might not even be aware of it.
"A lot of it's inspired by Apple's model around signing and Microsoft has a similar one," said Dan Lorenc, a software engineer on Google's open source team. "We're trying to combine that with the Let's Encrypt style approach of automatically granting and managing short-lived keys."

What's the point in this, exactly? Both of those are incredibly controversial, and it's hard to make an argument that it's something to emulate on Linux.
Depends what you mean by available :)

Your anecdote is interesting, but without knowing how often women also break the same rules and ignore the same instructions and get results it's pretty meaningless.

I don't really agree with the biological sex thing, as the rules of how reproduction works are generally pretty straightforward and pretty much the same across most of the mammal species. But it's beside the point.

My question is specifically how do we diagnose gender dysphoria. Is it just based on the fact that a person might express himself in a way that society associated with one gender or another?

That would make sense to me. For what it's worth, from my observations of this community it appears to me that at the very least a significant part of self-{identified,diagnosed} transgender population seems to have an unrealistic, hypersexualized portrayal of what being a woman means, most likely influenced by pornography.

But why obscure and attack the concept of biological sex then? Doesn't that only reaffirm that what we've been doing this entire time is a right thing to do? Imposing the correct gender role (or as you called it, assigning gender at birth), seems exactly like the way to go, as it lowers the chance of child developing gender dysphoria and having all the problems associated with it.
I like how UK English uses plurals when referring to organizations. Rather than "Google is bad", it's "Google are bad", in recognition of the fact that Google is made up of lots of people.
How many from the (Lehi)/Stern Gang and Irgun, among others, later achieved high ranking political success in Israel? Both Begin and Shamir come to mind.

I'm joking that because I skipped half the process (which I can't take any credit for, it was an accidental mixup on their end not because I am that impressive) it was a very easy interview.

Hey everyone, I’ve just finished doing a deep-dive into Cowboy’s codebase (a simple web-server widely adopted by the Elixir and Erlang community) to understand how it works under the hood and ended up documenting it all to share with everyone.

An honest question; do you need to work for FAANGs if this is the case? I think it's fairly accepted that you need X amount of hours per week to designate only to studying for your FAANG interview if you want to pass. This might be 10h a week for the next 3-6 months, or 15 for the next 10 months (or any other number of hours a week for any other number of months/weeks), as it wholly depends on you.

You can either dedicate the time and practice, or decide you don't want to do it since your situation does not enable you to do so (e.g. due to kids, family, or simply lack of motivation).

Of course, there are people who do not have to study. It seems you are not one of them. (Neither am I to be honest, this is just an observation, not an offensive remark). What else is there to do other than studying or not passing the interview in such a case?
Do we want equality in this area? Should we change schooling to make it easier for boys than girls until we get to 50/50 achievement? Or should we retain the status quo to boost the chances of women succeeding later in their lives when they do not achieve in their careers at the same level as men?

Newer research: Gender Differences in Personality and Interests: When, Where, and Why? (2010)

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1751-9004....

> How big are gender differences in personality and interests, and how stable are these differences across cultures and over time? To answer these questions, I summarize data from two meta‐analyses and three cross‐cultural studies on gender differences in personality and interests. Results show that gender differences in Big Five personality traits are ‘small’ to ‘moderate,’ with the largest differences occurring for agreeableness and neuroticism (respective ds = 0.40 and 0.34; women higher than men). In contrast, gender differences on the people–things dimension of interests are ‘very large’ (d = 1.18), with women more people‐oriented and less thing‐oriented than men. Gender differences in personality tend to be larger in gender‐egalitarian societies than in gender‐inegalitarian societies, a finding that contradicts social role theory but is consistent with evolutionary, attributional, and social comparison theories. In contrast, gender differences in interests appear to be consistent across cultures and over time, a finding that suggests possible biologic influences.

In particular, the differences aren't "stable accross cultures" but more pronounced in more gender-equal societies, so the difference are either (likely) biological, or else caused by society but in a counter-intuitive way.
When you factor in stock buybacks -- which are sort of but not quite the same as dividends -- it's "sort of" like 3%.

(My vague understanding is that for complicated and silly reasons, many more companies have preferred stock buybacks to dividends in recent decades, but it's still money flowing back from companies to investors.)
Yes but it’s worth mentioning that jQuery Ajax is a high-level API while `fetch` is a low-level method. The default call is sometimes (most of the times?) not what you want, and you have to add one or more options.
