>Woman most commonly refers to gender. Very few people know the sex of most people they meet.

If one would do a general survey, most ordinary people would consider sex and gender the same thing. Most of them would also say that they know the sex of somebody they see for the first time. Which is statistically true, because people whose sex and gender don't match are truly a small minority.

>The point is women isn't a synonym for people who menstruate even if you ignore trans people.

For the pedantic I guess she should have said: women who are in their fertile age without health problems or taking medications which prevent menstruation.

"News" organizations already edit video to maximize emotional impact to viewers, often in misleading ways.

I don't see this as a paradigm shift as much as a continued slide down the slippery slope of normalized propaganda.
Virtualbox-backed Docker on Windows was my first introduction to Docker - it literally put me off touching Docker for 1-2 years!

This opinion betrays a lack of imagination.

There are two equally valid subjective choices here:

- does moving your finger up "grab the content" under the glass and move it up, or

- does moving your finger up "grab the window", moving it up along a long virtual document?

Both are legit mental models, it's a preference.

I think twitter should give foreign leaders pretty wide latitude to tweet, as long as they do not call for violence, use their tweets to command foreign agents, etc. Of course twitter can put notices on their tweets that these are foreign leaders that may not have the best interests of Americans at heart.

It is rather pathetic that the citizens of the US, which is supposed to be a democracy run by its citizens are too scared to communicate directly with foreign leaders but are begging the government to create a smoke screen of propaganda so that their fragile minds can be protected from direct statements of foreign leaders.

We are supposed to be adults and we are supposed to be making the major decisions for our the direction of our nation and forcing our politicians to execute our will. We are not supposed to be scared children begging an expensive army of government officials, journalists, and shady "analysts" to protect us from the reality of the world.

If you let someone else shape your world view for you, they will do it to their advantage, and in the US this usually means more war, more tax payer dollars spend on the military, more death. Most of the more recent wars the US got into have been aided by carefully manufacturing powerful supervillian images of foreign leaders who were usually just garden variety low level a-holes that were completely harmless to the US.

So man up, or woman up, read what the other people have to say directly from the source and try to make the best decision for the nation and yourself.

Idk anything about that but it's a moot point nonetheless. Countries in the anglosphere can't do without the US either, so of course they'll fall in line.

Additionally, you'll have to have a lot stronger proof than that if you're going to claim that Muslim countries are ok with Muslims being genocided.
Actually this contract is not public, its source was not published on etherscan. You can read its opcodes and try to run it through a decompiler, but you can't get its original source.

That shouldn't really matter though. The contract was not advertised to the public, he could argue it was a private contract that could only be used by whitelisted addresses. Sandwich bots made the mistake of trying to interact with a random contract and assuming that it follows a particular kind of behaviour.
It gets less fun, but how much, that depends a lot on how old the kids are, how far you live from your friends, what are your hobbies, whether you live near to your extended family, etc.

Sufficiently nerdy people do talk about topics that are not kids, even when their kids are playing next to them.

A small baby you can put in a child carrier and go on a walk with your friends and discuss whatever. With pre-school children, you can have a talk with your friends at the playground, while the kids are playing. The most easily you can synchronize with friends who have children in similar age; you can organize a vacation together, or go to a playground together.

And you can have some fun when the kids are at their grandparents. Or during the weekend, one parent is with kids, the other has a free day; they can switch their roles the next day.

It is definitely not as much fun as it was before. But there are ways to keep some quality moments once in a while.

The defaults aren't powerful, thought they are sensible.

Windows (and most Linux DEs like KDE) come with out of the box snapping windows to the four corners of the screen and to the left and right which is perfect for how most people use their laptops. Most people need two separate windows open side by side because most jobs are about synthesizing two separate flows of information in some way (research in one window while writing a document in another for example).

In mac you need to install an app to do this (Rectangle/Spectacle). Now, that's fine because you can click and drag the windows where you need them to be. But it wastes your time whereas the default in Linux/Windows saves your time. Sensibility over power.

I can even write it :)

x = 0
while (true):
eval(int_to_code(x))
x += 1

of course the runtime will be probably quite long

EDIT: I forgot about the stop problem. But that's easy - stop the eval when memory repeats.

x = 0
prevStates = None
while (true):
state = x
prevStates = set()
while(not state in prevStates):
prevStates += state
state = eval_1_step(int_to_code(state))
x += 1

int_to_code and eval_1_step should be part of the language

Ah, fair play. I thought you were purveying the common misconception that a virus which kills its host is less effective at finding new hosts than one which doesn't, but this is unfortunately not the case.

Alas, your actual theory doesn't really hold up either. It's tough to remember the mood thirteen months ago, but China was under a real lockdown, we were seeing videos of people passing out in the street (funny, that doesn't seem to have kept happening?) and apartment building being welded shut, there were reports circulating of nitrogen-rich plumes of smoke in Wuhan which might be mass incineration of bodies: people were really scared. America even closed the border to China, against the explicit policy of WHO, but didn't shut down travel from Europe fast enough; also, the current consensus is that SARS-2 was circulating in the US by mid-December 2019 at the latest, so it's unclear how much benefit a total travel ban would have provided.

But, no: SARS-1 doesn't become highly infectious until after symptoms set in, that was what saved us last time. It does seem to be true that countries which experienced the SARS epidemic first-hand developed what we might call institutional antibodies, and were quick to impose various controls (especially contact tracing) which were more effective at controlling COVID-19.

But COVID-19 has a long period of presymptomatic infectivity, it sheds for almost a week during which the patient feels fine. If SARS presented with that etiology, there is a good chance that it would have swept the planet, killing, potentially, hundreds of millions of people.

Just dumb luck.

I had to drop off a bunch of property tax documents for the city assessor in a tier 1 city. There was just a cardbox box in a hallway with a sign taped to it 'Homestead Applications'. I could have taken all the other applications out of the box when I put mine in if i wanted to.

Emailing unencrypted documents honestly sounds a bit better to me then leaving all my info in a publicly accessible box.
Am I the only one who thinks the concept of relative error is not meaningful in this context?

It gives a disproportionate meaning to 0 without real physical consideration, eg:

- 273.25K ± 0.1 (meh 0.04% relative error)

The question is if giving money to a politician's son is bribery since they indirectly benefit.

If that were true, every politician's close relatives would have to stay in some kind of economic suspended animation while they serve in office. But other sensible measures, like prohibiting a President or his children from maintaining control of a global business empire while he is in office, are probably warranted in light of recent events.

There is no evidence that the "big guy" quote is genuine.
I've found that the govt can get away with your second major point regardless of an online presence. My example is property taxes in Cook County, IL. Biggest shit show you'll ever experience.

That doesn't work for adversarial recordings. No one will sign an embarrassing or damning video of themselves, and those are the cases where authenticity is the most important.

Your solution is technologically cool, but I think the current system of "was this published by a domain controlled by the office of the press secretary" is probably accomplishing this case well enough.
I was trying to say that just because one individual leader did not avail himself of the opportunity, doesn't mean that having that opportunity exist isn't valuable overall.

This is why good labor protection laws is good nor just for blue collar workers. If I took a position at one of these banks in Sweden they might have the impression I’m willing to work 50 or 60 hour weeks. Once it becomes clear to them I’m not working more than 40, they’ll still owe me several months pay to get rid of me if that doesn’t suit them. They really can’t afford to hire people and hope they live up to these ridiculous hours.

The only way to get people to do it would be to hire people on rock bottom salaries and only pay well once they prove they’ll work the 80h weeks, or keep a lot of of the comp as bonuses that pays out after a long employment. In neither of those cases I’d be interested in being employed there.
Those languages are also well known for not handling multiple cpu bound threads well. (And for that matter, it's simply wrong about Python, which uses native threads, but locks very heavily: you need to write native code to use more than one core effectively from one process.)

The goal is to NOT do what you're suggesting. It's a holdover from when native threads were much more expensive than they are today, and multiple cores on a single cpu were rare.

> To my surprise every 10 refreshes or so, I would get a 404 error. For the hardcoded resource no less! It's frustrating to work with an API that already seems unreliable when testing locally.

Google actively does this with many of their APIs. Running locally, their APIs will be very unreliable. Once you're live on the domain you've configured, everything is much more reliable.

I don't know if they do it to force you to consider cases where the API returns errors, or if it's some kind of anti-scraping provision, but it can be extremely confusing and frustrating if it's your first time working with the API and you're not sure how things are going to actually work (if at all!) when you deploy.

My uncle spent some time in prison in the late 80's and early 90's and was able to learn FoxPro while there. In addition to it being hard to find work having a criminal record, by the time he got out, everybody was transitioning away from FoxPro.

As is too often the case, the lure of money from selling drugs combined with not being able to find work meant he returned to prison. He got out again in the early-mid 2000's and this time around, there were no courses offered for study. When he got out that time, he didn't even know how to use the TV remote.

One day, history will look back on how we treat our prisoners with immense shame. Instead of trying to rehabilitate them, we leave them to rot, and politicians never shy away from an opportunity to make the lives of prisoners more miserable, lest they risk being called "soft" on crime.
afaik they are mostly discouraged because of the various challenges coming with them (like zero crossing at high amplitudes, capacitance, etc), but it's not like it's impossible to deal with all of that.

For one thing, we find a controlled fire soothing and attractive.

Wild animals very much do not. It's likely that our mucus membranes have also adjusted to the presence of more smoke: this doesn't prevent cancer, which is a post-reproductive problem for the most part, but it does keep smoke inhalation from being immediately debilitating.

Does it mean that fire doesn't fool our circadian rhythm into thinking it's still daytime? Sure, why wouldn't it? We've had a very long time to adjust, and getting appropriate amounts of sleep increases fitness in an obvious way.

We haven't had more than a hundred years of adjusting to bright blue-wavelength light after dark, however. So it could affect our circadian rhythm, and as studies show, it does.

I personally inspected the page to delete the popup from the DOM without clicking "agree".

I found their privacy page here: https://xn--allestrungen-9ib.de/privacy.html.

Interestingly, that has a link to a cookie policy that links to speedtest.net's cookie policy (https://www.speedtest.net/de/about/cookie-policy). I think downdetector is offered by Ookla, so that probably is their cookie policy?

speedtest.net's cookie policy leaves something to be desired. In the english translation it has:

> If you prefer that we do not collect information that will help us determine which advertisements we are best serving you, click this icon.

But I don't see an icon there, or anything clickable. In case it's a mistranslation here's the original german:

> Wenn Sie es vorziehen, dass wir keine Informationen erfassen, mit deren Hilfe wir ermitteln können, welche Werbung wir Ihnen am besten anzeigen, klicken Sie auf dieses Symbol.

Based on that, I have no idea how you can manage your cookie preferences to express a desire not to be tracked.

It seems to be an absolutely flagrant violation of GDPR, and I would encourage a German citizen to bring a case to the German data protection authorities.

That kinda requires that the most intelligent people do not remove themselves from the genetic pool en masse.

(So far, people who are highly intelligent and also highly religious seem to prevent that outcome.)
That's where it gets interesting, though. Assuming you have a democratically elected official with progressive views in any direction, and they're telling people to act for their self-interest, but the current zeitgeist overall is the given idea is immoral or otherwise objectionable, then what process do you use to make the judgement other than an arbitrary one that supplants the "rule of law"?

Consider if Biden dropped a tweet saying "don't observe DST."

That could be dangerous, right? You've got two distinct groups of people that for some reason or another fail to coalesce, all "hell" breaks loose because some people are showing up to work at different times, logistical break down... Do you squelch him? And how does that compare to a non-violent break-in at the capitol to show congress that their representation of the general public is failing a given demographic?

Personally I think that the channel should be wide open to anything but the most unbearable aspects of communication, like child exploitation. You've got no chance of convincing a white supremacist that his worldview is askew without engaging in a conversation and logically defeating his assertions, not to mention the fact that publicly shaming the ideology (while jointly defeating it) in a widely available forum is certainly the best prophylactic. Instead the "acceptable" rhetoric is one-sided which alienates anybody that has the audacity to even ask the questions proposed, while destroying their ability to come about a rational conclusion through empirical observation. That channel should be equivalently wide for politicians which the people have elected to represent them up to the extent of tangible action to break the law up to the barrier of reason, e.g. meaningfully inciting violent actions against individuals or groups.

And this is all precipitated by the fact that Twitter and the like are commodifying speech, which is a genuine hazard as it creates a serious hurdle at the intersection of liberty and commercial interest. Commercial interests want inoffensive discussion which appeals to the widest possible band of individuals, meaning that the content and discussions are only allowed to span a narrow width, generally. It is not in any meaningful way acting in the public interest at that point, and only seeks to, through largely automatic processes, extend and crystallize the status quo which is genuinely harmful as we're doing little more than discussing how to spin in place at that point. This is driven even further through deplatforming (active or passive) extremist viewpoints, and exposing them disproportionately with algorithmic processes.
I already use many of these and have learned several more good tips from reading this script.

In recent years Apple's default settings have trended more and more away from what keyboard-focused power users (i.e. developers) need, IMHO. That wouldn't be a big deal except they've also trended toward locking down those defaults to make them difficult to change. Scripts like this make it possible for me to continue doing development on the Mac without tearing my hair out.
