To quote the law: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/israel-s-law-of-return#...

> 4B. For the purposes of this Law, "Jew" means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of another religion."

The "or" there is very important. If my grandmother were a religious Jew, and she had a secular daughter, that daughter would still be a jew (a secular jew). If that daughter then births me, that is now a generation further, where my mother was not religious, I am not religious, but both my mother and I are considered to be Jews for that law.

Due to how that is worded, one can be a secular Jew, Jewish by the bloodline of the mother (aka "race"), and one can be a religious Jew. The law applies to both, so I think it's fair to say that it's a racist law.

Their first point is one of epistemology. You asked them to prove it but that's outside of the scope of science. Proof is deductive and certain, whereas science (outside of math) is empirical and only asymptotes on certainty as theories remain unrefuted. Scientists have theories that can at best converge on truth and don't think in terms of proof.

This notwithstanding, the ethical concerns seem premature. Shouldn't we wait for information on an actual concrete proposal? Perhaps it can be done with very little of the brain and when coupled with FMRI we can be sure enough that it isn't experiencing conscious states. But all this seems premature and subject to the actual details.
It can't easily be fixed which is why it haven't yet. There is a world of difference between making something work in the lab and in a test situation and then at scale, economically, practically and in competition with extremely powerful competitors.

Settlements are a win because they don't set precedent, and are often much cheaper than going to trial, and much, much cheaper than losing. There are plenty of companies that skirt the law or civil agreements hoping that, in the worst case, they can just settle if they're brought to court.

Satoshi said in 2009: "The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost. It never really hits a scale ceiling. If you're interested, I can go over the ways it would cope with extreme size."

"By Moore's Law, we can expect hardware speed to be 10 times faster in 5 years and 100 times faster in 10. Even if Bitcoin grows at crazy adoption rates, I think computer speeds will stay ahead of the number of transactions."[1]

black engineers have jobs. the government and defense contractors recruit at schools that have a higher percentage of black software engineers. its not that hard of a concept.
At any given instant in time, progressives and radicals are calling for lots of different things. Some of those are good ideas, and some of those are bad ideas. It's the job of conservatives to filter out those bad ideas. The fact that they oppose the good ideas too doesn't mean they're wrong when they push back on the bad ones. It's like the old trope: they laughed at Einstein, but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown: https://wiki.c2.com/?TheyLaughedAtEinstein.

Criticizing "defund the police" (as in, actually defunding the police) or normalizing the use of "whiteness" as a pejorative is not a bad thing just because conservatives do it. In fact, conservatives are doing society a valuable service by pushing back on those things. I'm quite sure in the retrospect of history, those will be proven to be "bad ideas progressives tried at one point" rather than examples of real advancement.
This is super interesting, thanks for sharing.

Cryptocurrencies and alt coins are a dime a dozen these days and it is incredibly difficult to filter through the noise.
And people can’t really tell 30fps from 60fps from 120fps either, right?

Once you see and appreciate the difference, you can’t unsee it. Anything less is jarring.

Print media figured out three to four decades ago that print buyers prefer at least 144 lpi for black shapes, at least 300-600 dpi for grey images, and minimally 300 dpi but ideally 1200 dpi for colour photos people will consider high quality. (Note: For reader convenience I’m mixing lines per inch or lpi with dots per inch or dpi here, lines is per screen but there may be several screens per image, so dpi is the source material you’re trying to reproduce with screens.)

We’ve been settling on computer screen quality for too long. If all we did was video, fine, but we spend most time simulating print.

For whatever hysterical reason those books are now selling for ridiculous prices.

Media made a big deal out of "canceling" Dr. Seuss and those books weirdly became an icon of free speech for some folks and now we've arrived at a place where secondary markets are being forced to take a stance on the issue.

Books get pulled from publication all the time - books even get pulled from publication for really extremist content (or are refused by publishers in the first place). This is only a circus now because some media outlets stirred it up. It is occasionally the case that some folks on the internet find something offensive and try and get it canceled with a petition - I loathe this process for a number of reasons - but this isn't what happened here, some media outlets took a nothingburger and turned it into a four course meal.

If you hike in the woods you'll pass by bee-hives all the time, that doesn't mean you always go out in heavy clothing - but if someone ahead of you on the trail kicked a hive repeatedly then you'll put on the clothing if you've got it. All the "thing" here is just reactionary to there being so much arbitrary attention directed at it in the first place.

Who takes the hit?
I spent 8 years in engineering at MS in the 2000s--it was no worse or better than any other tech company. There was never an explicit expectation to work more than 40 hours, and most managers were good about not pressuring people into disturbing work-life balance.

But, at the end of the year you were calibrated against all of your peers and WLB was not a criteria that mattered. If you just put in your 40 hours you probably wouldn't get fired, but you definitely were not going to be promoted when compared to the people cranking out more work per week. There was a big divide with the younger, fresher folks working all the time (and making their work very visible).

Once you were a senior dev you kind of had a choice to make--if you wanted to keep a high 'promotional velocity' you had to keep working >40 hour weeks or be left in the dust. If you didn't want to climb that ladder then it was totally fine but you would never be promoted beyond another level or two. I knew folks who were senior devs for 10, 15, or even more years. In contrast the partners/high performers were all regularly getting promotions every 2 years or less and absolutely none of them I knew worked less than 60-80 hours a week. To get promoted up to principal and beyond levels required having a consistent history of promotions every couple years--there was no way to really pause or slow down without stopping your entire career development.

From my friends still left there I don't think much has changed over the years. It's a somewhat subtle system where managers and HR can proudly point to never requiring people to work crunch time. They can trot out plenty of 10 year senior engineers to give quotes and talk about how it's so great to just work 40 hour weeks. But at the end of the day if you want to be successful and rise up the ranks at MS, you are going to be working all the time, period (at least until you reach partner level).

It's interesting as it's a common argument that "meat caused us to have big brains, meat good", but that analysis might not be so clear cut. If this paper is right it may be more of the search for meat is what caused our brains to grow and less so meat protein.

Methinks you have a different cultural understanding from the auctor of this article.

Terminal commands are typically not seen as some inferior way to do this, in want of a better solution to eventually be developed, they are given because they are the fastest, clearest way of doing something, especially in online discourse.

Explaining via text, or even images, how to navigate a dialog window to achieve something is quite a bit more involved than telling a man to copy a simple command.

There exists a dialog window based interface to `pkg`, as far as I know; it is simply seldom used as it is considered inefficient compared to the terminal commands.
Aren't those keyword-based?
> This is a useful reminder. It's a reminder that associative thinking can invert causal relationships and turn anything into a symbol for anything else. There is no rational limit to things that can be attacked this way.

> As an investment? A very solid choice.

What’s the thesis?
It's not about assuming that devs are only worth their coding skills, it's about recognizing that their coding skills are what they're hired for (and also what they're extremely highly paid for).

It's fine that you have a non-technical creative side, but it's frankly not what you're paid for. That's true of everyone in the organization - I'm really enjoy writing and am very good at it, but I don't believe I'm being mistreated or underutilized because I'm not asked to do copywriting. That's the purview of marketing, not product.

This is even true within engineering - if you have experience working on both iOS and Android apps, but you interview for and are hired for a role on the company's iOS app team, nobody is undervaluing you because they don't also ask you to work on their Android app.

Businesses benefit from specialization and focus of their employees. Product exists to gather requirements and define specs not because dev can't, but because that's not what developers are hired to do.

There was a Michael Bay movie about this concept. I actually really like the movie, but it's way more entertaining if you don't know the premise ahead of time, so I'm not going to name it because it's a pretty major spoiler.
I'd suggest not using Google Maps' color scheme.

Try printing out one of their maps on a monochrome printer, and you'll see what I mean: The colour shades, grey boundaries for roads and natural features, and the road names all have virtually the same contrast. So they all print as nearly the same illegible light grey.
A black person, or a black man?

A black man, or just any man wearing street clothes?

Any man wearing street clothes, or just any man wearing street clothes on an otherwise empty street?

Because if you do that in broad daylight, on a well populated street, because a black woman in business clothes appears to be a possible threat, but you don't do it for the white man in street clothes on an empty street at night, then it sounds like maybe you have a pretty racist heuristic.

Otherwise, yeah, I'm pretty empathic; race may indeed be an additional input, especially given your history, but if it's just one more heuristic that makes you slightly more likely to cross the street, and you also -recognize- that it's a generalization you're making, and that it's unfair to the individual even though it's based on personal experience...yes, I'm empathic towards where you find yourself. Certainly, as a man, if the input of "a man approaching" on its own caused you to be more likely to cross the street, I don't view it as some sort of misandry, and would not take it personally.

(And yes, I know this is an attempt at a rhetorical counter argument, but I'm purposely treating it as a real position to make clear I don't view it as a particularly compelling argument)
How money in Cloud impacts Architectural decisions?
As an example, there are only 16 categorical manifestations of software exceptions based on the following categories:

- Synchronicity, Scope, Origin

For Synchronicity we have:

- Synchronicity

- Asynchronicity

For Scope we have:

- Process-specific

- Cross-process

For Origin we have:

- Data origin

- Temporal origin

- External origin

- Process origin

Then you combine them such as "Synchronous-CrossProcess-Temporal Origin." The total is 16 ways. Even if something were somehow to be missing from this categorization scheme, it would only add a finite amount of possibilities to the permutations. Yet this taxonomy seems quite complete as is.

On the first-order basis, it might be difficult to pinpoint why Facebook "wasn't allowed" to build this product before anyone else.

On the second-order basis, there is an interesting comparison between how well Facebook hindered Snapchat's growth with their rollout of Stories, vs how well it hindered Tiktok's growth with their rollout of Reels (not very). There are obviously a million factors to consider, but I would argue that us taking Facebook through the dirt 1) weakened its hold over its users and 2) triggered a talent exodus, both of which contributed to Facebook's Reels not being as impactful as Stories (viewed strictly through the lens of defending against the new competitor).
I had a similar task for a client many years ago. I only had about 300 DVDs though. I did complete the job manually, after 2 weeks of burning on multiple machines. Part of the deal was I got to keep the original DVDs, which I sold individually in addition to getting paid by the customer and keeping a digital copy of the DVDs for myself.

Worth it.

At one point I was staying in a hotel along a small highway in Texas and saw a strip mall with restaurants on the other side. After about twenty minutes trying to find a way across I gave up and got in my car to cross the road.

Transit policy in many US cities and towns is somewhere between indifferent and actively hostile to anyone who is not driving a car.
The immediate consequence of me reading evo-psych work, is that I conclude that pretty much all evo-psych work should be piled into a large bonfire, and burned.

This is the direct result of an obvious evolutionary psychological adaptation - being warm helps people survive, and fire is warm - therefore, if I were to do that, I would just be following an, ahem, evolutionary imperative.
If it is in fact a pyramid scheme, wouldn't they want to be on the top rather than the bottom?
Overlapping broadcast areas. It's one less channel to use for deconflicting the need for broadcast spectrum and the desire to have a broadcast channel while avoiding interference from neighbors.

They get at this with the New Jersey case, where in order for the station to get a channel it had to be 37. Presumably this was because of there being too many other broadcasters in the area. It's been a long time since I studied radio so I can't recall the specifics, but if there are 70 channels available (total) in a specific area perhaps only half or a quarter of them might be usable without producing interference with others.

EDIT: You also see this play out with conventional AM/FM broadcasting. You typically won't find adjacent stations, like 91.3 and 91.5, in the same area and when it happens (perhaps you're on the edge between the two broadcast areas) you'll hear one station bleeding into the other.
Interestingly, this isn't "evo-psych work", as anyone would see who'd knew how evolutionary psychology works.

In fact, the kind of argument used by the authors is more in line what human paleontology looks like.
Great product. Good luck with this.

That's true in the abstract, but in the concrete there are unique lines of argument, contingent on details specific to a topic, that get invented shortly after the topic arises. It is at that level that you can literally have an indexed pamphlet to guide you verbatim through 90% of dialogues.

Injecting contextual facts into 500BC rhetorical forms is a little more human-level than repeating other people's filled-out Pnyxian madlibs, an activity that is a little below machine-level.

USDC uses Ethereum so it has all the scaling issues Ethereum has.

That said Ethereum would be a reasonable alternative, but in terms of stability and performance, Bitcoin is far ahead of Ethereum currently. Maybe Ethereum 2.0 with sharding and staking solves those scalability issues and at that time it will be the best choice, but right now there are too many unknowns.
You can achieve immutability with OOP. Other paradigms just emphasize it more.

I agree, though, that mutability is detrimental, and that traditional OOP can easily lead us to believe that state is not a concern.

I do not believe that this is a problem inherent to OOP, rather it's a problem of paradigmatic implementation.
I don't understand why the whole world have to suffer because some blimp in American history. So there was slavery, big deal, there were much worst things around the world at those days and people from all races suffered. Black Americans are one of the most privileged people in the world these days just by being born in a rich and relatively free country, I am sick about hearing their grievances and whinging, in my eyes they are just spoiled brats who don't want or can't from some reason put the hard work everybody else is putting in order to better their life.

This guy from London in the article did the right thing and good on him but he shouldn't complain that he is getting searched when many of the black community there is focused on gang banging and glorifying it in every second song possible. Fix your community instead of demanding other people to solve your issues.
