> And of course males should not be on teams for women, what is the point of women's sports then?

Why not separate competitors by the physical abilities that matter in their sport, rather than by genitals? We already do this partially within some sports, such as with the different weight classes in boxing. And of course it is routine in school sports to separate athletes by age so that the smaller, less experienced kids don't get totally whomped on.

Besides dealing with the transgender issue, it would also provide more competitive and challenging and fun sports for many non-transgender kids that currently do not get that, either because they are on the smaller/lighter/weaker side of the boy's bell curve and can't get on the team (and would get creamed if they did), or because they are on the taller/heavier/stronger side of girl's bell curve and aren't really challenged on the current girl's team.

Again, your statement is illogical.

> workers are free to voluntarily pick a different job where the employer

Then there's no point for a union. (Remember, unions aren't for employees who can negotiate directly with their employer, or who generally benefit from an open labor market.)

> an employer has a captive labor market over its employees

And that's where unions are critical. But, getting back to my original point, it creates a "who's watching the watchers" situation.

You don't have to look far to learn about the corruption in the Detroit UAW. The kickbacks made the national news. But, more importantly, after such a scandal do we really believe that the Detroit UAW was looking out for their members' best interests?

That's why I firmly believe those kinds of unions need to be optional. Ultimately, employees in a captive labor market need to be able to effortlessly walk away from their union. It needs to be as simple as canceling a newspaper. Otherwise, it becomes very hard to have a "check and balance" if the union becomes corrupt.
Well that is disheartening. I've been pretty happy with my choice of Ubiquiti gear for home, it was a vast improvement over the consumer-grade gear I had been using before, but if I'm going to start seeing ads on my own server, I'll be looking elsewhere when it's time to upgrade.
US's foreign policy of 50 years ago is not the same as it is today. Since the USSR's fall, the US has been highly reactionary.

> Specifically, do the language semantics allow a mode where these checks can be turned off? Leaving them on all the time can be a huge performance burden, both directly and in the barriers they add to optimization (while there are potential optimization benefits to exploiting the guarantees of contracts, I don’t think as a practical matter they balance out).

Yes, with Ada it is typically a pragma or compiler-flag to turn checks off; however, Ada has a long history of having mandatory-checks and strongly-encouraging compiler-implementers to optimize the checks away when it is known they cannot fail (which is a surprising chunk of the time if you're coming from a C-based language).

Well quite, that's why they might have waited for more favourable conditions instead of trying to take such a big ship through in force 7 'near gale' with poor visibility due to a sandstorm. Seems like a risky thing to do, no? Here's the risk assessment: Can you see where you are going? No. Is it harder to go in a straight line than normal? Yes. Is there anything nearby to hit? Yes.

But the crew of the ship never do close quarters manoeuvring anyway it is the job of the local pilot to get the ship to near to the dock and tug crews who berth it. Maybe in the future the canal will change their risk assessment to hold ships this large when the weather conditions are unfavourable. Or maybe this is at the pilot's discretion already, but there was a 'human factors' issue as there is a post elsewhere suggesting that there might have been some friction with the pilot who was meant to be giving helm orders but was refusing to do so? Who knows?

I have been browsing Unsplash for five or six years now. I remember the time when it did not have ads to the how it is now. I understand the owner might not have been earning a lot from the site, so I get that he wanted to cash out. I just hope that the content remains of high quality and open source if possible.
Fight me if you must, but I firmly believe that the scientific institutions are the reason that “antiscience” and “scientism” have been able to gain ground.

Faking data, using “appeal to experts” and intellectualism to pretend that what they say must be true simply by virtue of the fact they said it, stifling opposing voices, leaning in to sensationalism with misleading conclusions, laying down at the feet of funding sources, propping up the image of “scientists” even in the face of impossible-to-reproduce experiments and predatory journals with overwhelmingly clear agendas... I could go on and on.

Human ego and the need for money are challenging hurdles for experts on the unpopular fringes to be sure, but if everyone stuck to (or stood up now and reaffirmed) the basic tenets of science:

- Change a single variable and record the results in an unbiased way
- The scale of knowing is from “Absolutely no clue” to “fairly sure we’re not wrong”, and there is certainly never a “we’re absolutely sure we’re right”

I think it could go a long way towards rebuilding the public trust in the data from scientific studies, or at the very least give people the space to say “Yes the previous data was flawed, but we redid the experiments from scratch and the results are even more concerning.” without getting booed off the stage.
'How long before this changes?'

Maybe a single pass of root-of-3 subdivision would already help? It would insert another "control point" at the middle of the existing triangles. Then you could linearly interpolate along the new refined triangles. That wouldn't really remove the saddle points (if my intuition is correct it would just divide them into smaller ones along the new triangles), but maybe they'll end up more smoothed out and therefore less jarring.

> Why should the government insert itself between these patients and their doctors?

Because this is what we've accepted and allowed for many decades? The government controls prescriptions, standards, certification, etc. You may not like some of the laws, but probably agree with others.

Their focus has been on the mass production of starships, with one rolling off the assembly line about every 2 weeks now.

The next big milestones are SN15 launch (major upgrades in that version onward) and the booster launch (hasn't been tried yet).

They are hoping to get the 2 stage to orbit this summer, so probably after at least 4 more tests.
I've brought up the same point in a number of threads that have brought up mailing lists over the years. In the specific case of mailing lists like the ones used for Linux kernel and git development, I believe many participants host their own SMTP instances and use them to send and receive messages and have had those set ups for a long time.

If they were to switch to NNTP, they would either have to:

1. Create a new group on usenet (and have to somehow filter out all the spam posted to it or everyone will have to keep their NNTP client kill file up to date)

or

2. They each would have to host their own NNTP server and each one would have to add enough peering servers (incoming and outgoing) to ensure that articles are propogated to them and articles they post are propagated to others

or

3. The maintainer would have to set up a authoritative NNTP server and allow read access, but then have to add accounts for those who need write access (in order to allow them to submit patches).

Continuing to use SMTP allows them to essentially choose option 2, but not have to set up peering servers since DNS MX records handle propagating the emails they send.

That said, having a NNTP mirror of a mailing list like gmane[1] and public-inbox[2] provides the best of both worlds. You get the benefits of NNTP for reading the mailing list, but get the benefits of propagation via SMTP.

You didn't read the article carefully. One of the things it mentions is that it is 20% less energy dense than lithium ion. Sounds terrible, but the upside is you make the car chassis out of battery, so you haven't added weight to it. The net result could be very good, or maybe they need to work on it and improve on the 20%.

Going further with the battery news cynicism idea, batteries have steadily improved over the last 50 years, to an amazing degrees, because of steady breakthroughs causing small improvements. It is why we can have iphones and tesla today.

How does one update an oldschool web admin page to interact with this model?

For example, suppose Kermpany had already been up and running for a while with a standard Django website running behind Cloudflare with an admin page at example.com/admin/.

Now the things in the blog post have happened, and Kermpany wants to make sure that only machines on the "humans" CIDR can connect to the routes hosted at example.com/admin/.

What happens next? Does the admin tool move to a new domain?

The manual wireguard solution I know of is to add the example.com IP to the list of AllowedIPs, so the wireguard interface gets used for all requests from the local machine to example.com, and then restrict the /admin/ route in nginx to just the wireguard server's IP. But that takes a lot of bookkeeping and I feel like I'm missing something.

There's a huge difference between attending an online conference and attending an in-person - you don't have a large number of similarly minded people in a small space for a given time when it's online.

It's been the hardest thing to recreate, the hallway and lunch meetings (basically because it's hard to politely tell everyone to bug off in person but really easy to just log off online).

>The US would instantly have at least one carrier sunk minutes after declaring and that alone could break morale.

Isn't that the exact reasoning which led to the attack on Pearl Harbor? "One quick strike and they'll be out of the war..."

>The US will sanction and draw lots of red lines in the sand and then tug its tail between its legs.

And that's the kind of reasoning that led to Ukraine being invaded by Russia. The inevitable result of China being allowed to take Taiwan is China sailing their own carrier fleets along the West Coast a decade or two later. Absolutely unacceptable. Great Powers will always use force when faced with an existential threat.

The thing that usually leads to a war is thinking the other side lacks the willingness to go to war.
