> I don't have a better word readily available than sexism for trying to talk about patterns like this but when I use the word sexism

I appreciate the effort to think of a better word than sexism. My question is, is this even sexism at all? How many men can get publicly denounced as “sexists” and have their life ruined because they didn’t speak carefully enough, before it is simply just “smart” rather than “sexist” to be extra careful with how you speak to women.

To take the example to an extreme just to illustrate the point: If, in a hypothetical world, men served jail time for making eye contact with women, would it be sexist for men to stare at their feet when women are around?

I am 100% convinced that sexism does exist and is not all that uncommon (I’ve seen my wife deal with it a bit in the workplace). I’m just not convinced this is an example of it. Seems more like it’s the “safe” choice for a man in 2021. Both men and women would benefit if we worked to make it not that way.
There's no reason to assume that. The system could be destabilized because while a pendulum with two sides has a stable a world with many many competing interests and nonlinear feedback systems might not.
Yup. Thanks for collecting the links.

There are other reasons to learn written music, even if you're popular musician. For example, you may want to become a studio musician, so you need to learn to play quickly (in a few minutes) a complex piece of music to perform immediately. Studio musicians need to do this all the time, and reading from a score is the easiest way to achieve it. You may need to write music for other musicians (for example, wind instrument players and pianists). Finally, reading music will help you to learn theory and have a better understanding of music.
The inclusion of Java in the title is misleading: "For those coming from the Java world: there's no garbage collector in Ada, so objects allocated by the new operator need to be expressly freed." So really, you first need a prerequisite which explains how to program without a garbage collector, but this will have a much greater scope than a book that just teaches you Ada.

> incremental improvements

Exactly, it is an incremental improvement that is marketed as a revolutionary one. When 4G and 3G came out they were simple stating that it is much faster, but now with 5G everywhere you see how it will revolutionize the world and make new things possible that were never possible before, like remote surgery, articles like this one: https://www.digi.com/blog/post/5g-and-the-future-of-telemedi...

If you want lowest latency, use a wired connection which has existed for many years. Why would you use a more unreliable like 5G that might lose connection when someone waves his hand instead of a faster, more reliable wired one? There are tons of other examples like this.

For the average user in most cases the download connection speed is actually limited at the server end, not at his end so even if he has 10GB/s download speed, it won't be able to use it. Not only that, but also data caps, storage write speed, infrastructure and other current limitations make the promoted benefits of 5G simply non-existing for at least several years.

If you want a future-proof phone, yes you can get a 5G one, only that it's not future proof. Other components of the device must be drastically improved too before they can take advantage of 5G, which means that you would still have to change your device before you can actually use the promised benefits.

I love technological advancements, but I hate it when the public is tricked into thinking something will greatly and instantly improve their life when it reality it won't change anything.
Yep, one of my 5 thyroid hormones is having high values so I am definitely going to the doctors soon.

Whether I am epically stupid for not having done it 10 years ago is... entirely another matter.
Now you know how the other side felt all along :).

Seriously, we are now asked to treat everyone with respect and that is a problem?

Edit: No I don't mean eye for eye. I am merely pointing out, this is a male dominant industry where women didn't even have a chance for a long time. The moment we face little uneasiness, we are complaining and throwing temper tantrums.
It's not. This statement is just plain dumb.
mg/kg is a really weird unit to use without saying how many kg were consumed.

I love to browse the website of the Library of Congress, it has a lot of expressive historical photographs and you can download the high-res scans of the original plates. Of course, I have to process the images in an editor a bit, but I love the process. Generally I like "crafting" my desktop backgrounds myself.

I also like to have photos I've taken as my background.
Did you know that NCR, a company that makes POS systems you frequently see in stores, owns a company called StopLift that does exactly that? If you’ve been to a store where they have one of those front-facing cameras on the self checkout, they’re probably using StopLift or something similar throughout the store, and according to their website it also works using overhead cameras on human cashiers.
I understand that this is just the title of the post, but this is by far not a U.S. specific issue.
It’s remarkable the level you go to to bridge this gap even after being burned, literally no one else would, I wouldn’t. Is it worth my job, career, families future? That’s the calculus and risk imo.
For the same reason we had a toilet paper shortage: there are two legal "types" of the thing and legally you can't "cross the streams". Not without the exact same people complaining to make it housing crying bloody hell about the difference.

The article is talking about detached housing. In Vancouver I keep seeing the trend of several detached houses in a row being bought, bulldozed, and converted to low-rise condos or townhouses.

The supply of housing (condos, townhouses, duplexes) is increasing, it’s just people aren’t too happy with “lowering their living standards” by having to live in a condo or townhouse, or having to move out of their neighborhood to a suburb.

Land is an issue in Vancouver. We have mountains to the North, ocean to the West, and farm land to the East and South.

What little land is available does get converted to “dense” accommodations, but it could be more dense. For example, in my area 10 years ago there were maybe 3 or 4 detached houses on the land. Now there are 450 condo and townhouse units. This could be significantly more dense by building a high-rise (6+ floors I think) instead of the low-rise (5 or fewer floors). However, we don’t really have the correct road infrastructure to accommodate huge density increases. Pre-pandemic a 20-25 minute drive to work already takes around 1.5-2 hours during the weekday.

The detached housing that remains detached is converted from, for example, a 3bed 2 bath rancher to some sort of luxury home with 6 bed 4.5 bath. Doubling or tripling of value is not uncommon.

I can’t find it right now, but articles in the local papers have talked about changing communities from being all single family detached to a mix of condos, townhouses, detached. This way new buyers can start at a condo, move to a townhouse, then upgrade to a detached house as equity builds up, the family increases their income, and the family expands.

The problem with this is the people who own the detached houses don’t downsize when their kids leave, so these rarely come on the market, or people are buying more house than they need at that point in their life to counteract rising house prices.

Yes, people have expanded outwards. For example, my mom and step-dad moved approximately 1.5 hours East of their last house (now a 20 minute commute for my stepdad instead of the previous 60-70 minute commute). The problem here is that the house prices have risen here too for detached houses. Places on my parents street are 650-800k. Go over one block to the next cul-de-sac/ street and they go for 800k - 1.2 million. These are all new detached houses built [edit: on previously vacant land] in the last 3-5 years. Spreading out hasn’t actually caused prices to drop. Spreading out has done the opposite. They call it half-doubling or something here. Half the price for double the house if you move outwards.

Who knows what will happen.

I think this is sort of like asking why the Catholic Church lost the trust of Northern Christians. Yeah, there were some specific actions taken by the Church that led to the seeds of the Reformation...but ultimately the printing press and a long-growing trend of secular power is what actually caused and maintained the larger historical process.

In other words, in a world where the Internet exists, it was inevitable that established media powers would eventually erode away and lose their position as sole arbiters of information.

> Then the author asserts The Culture judges other civilizations by how close they are to values and priorities of The Culture itself.

This is exactly the impression I got after reading Player of Games, the second Culture book I read, after Consider Phlebas, so I'm confused about your opinion

But that said, I found Player of Games trite and I kept finding myself siding with the "bad" guys and Consider Phlebas was literally forgettable, I read it six or so years ago and can't remember anything about it

Needless to say, I moved on to better series.
People shouldn't trust the media. It's filled with people who go into it because they want to change the world. There's nothing wrong with that but if you consume it thinking that shouldn't be or isn't the case you're going to come away feeling betrayed.

The thing that annoys me is people who go into careers that are explicitly premised on describing the world only because they think they can use the trust that comes from that to change the world. Those people aren't in media though.

There may be problems with the OP's argument, but your response is fallacious itself and does not address them. Linking to Breitbart isn't a great idea, but doesn't invalidate everything else that was said.

I think that you may be missing that Banks' series is actually about this very contradiction. He continually explores just how hypocritical, contradictory, and partial the "utopia" in the Culture actually is. His Minds are clever, but they have built-in biases. The majority of citizens are "happy" but his books explore the corner cases and there are plenty of characters shown to have ennui or some sense of resent. The first of the series (Consider Phlebas) involves a non-Culture character who despises the Culture for precisely this groundlessness. And all of his books in the Culture involve the "Special Circumstances" organization in some aspect, poking their fingers in places where they arguably should not be (but sometimes should be).

In his books the Culture is simultaneously a "good guy" but also an overbearing preachy and hypocritical and sometimes ethically dubious plot foil.

The actual "bad guys" (imperialist hierarchical tyrannical aliens, etc.) are shown in a very bad light, but in the process of dealing with them, the ugly side of the Culture is constantly shown.
I think the point is that there is a difference between a cup of filter coffee and an espresso drink (Americano, latte, cappuccino etc) with the same volume. The first one is well... coffee, the latter contains only a shot or two of espresso and the rest of the volume in the cup is hot water/milk.

>No, I'm not and I don't need to disclaim what my profession is either. What is with the internets obsession about "IANAL"? Isn't it more proper to assume that someone is NOT a lawyer, accountant or whatever if they don't say anything, than the opposite?

Because it's common online etiquette. Just like when the countless google or amazon employees that hang around HN comment on google or amazon stories, they give the disclaimer: I work for google/amazon.

>Sure, IRS might act like that but not every country, and if you read my comment again you see that my view is broader than just the IRS.

I do see you made a blanket statement that was easily disproven for the US, and at no point did you say that the US wasn't included in "most countries". So exactly which countries are you referring to, and can you provide a citation to the relevant tax authorities for those countries that you referenced when making your original claim?

Ask HN: Do you think the CV screening process makes us like a commodity?
Don't get me wrong, there are jobs that require a specific skill set. But I feel like the conventional CV screening process lacks the chemistry to create a connection between the candidate and the recruiter. It pretty much like here are some apples you're looking for and let's just pick some to put into your basket. You don't have that feeling when you're using a dating app.

I didn't like Inversions the first time I read it either but re-read all the Culture books, in order, after Banks died and enjoyed that. I think I was expecting it to be very Culture-y and was disappointed it wasn't. On a reread my expectations were different and it was just a very enjoyable story.

I'd also suggest avoiding Excession until you've become familiar with the Minds. It's my favourite book, I think, but you lose a lot without having a little context.
Sure, you're not going to find everyone having the same opinion on something, but it's hard to compare Crimea, which has a sizeable pro-Russia population, possibly even a majority, with Taiwan, with only some smaller fringe groups wanting to reunify with China on Beijing's terms.

And that's also a point to consider: there are some people in Taiwan who want to reunify, but not anywhere near under the terms Beijing would impose. You could call those people "pro unification", but they're very very different from people who would accept Chinese rule as it is now.
Regardless of this study's merits this makes some intuitive sense, since caffeine is a stimulant and a moderately performance enhancing drug. In my marathon training I consume caffeinated food as a quick "pick me up" after the first 90 minutes or so of exertion.

I think their point is: is this getting coverage because it’s actually novel and impressive, or is this relative simple but getting attention because of her race/gender?

In other words: Is the coverage a good signal for whether one should be impressed or not.

It may have merit on inspiring others, particularly underrepresented groups, but I think that’s only adjacent to the parents question of: is this impressive in a vacuum, or just getting traction because of her gender/race, which presumably the parent doesn’t find to be important.

Accusations of “anti black prejudices” may be wrong if their actual point is that the news is prejudicially covering otherwise non newsworthy work primarily because of the gender/race of the creator.
You’re right - section 3 very purposefully doesn’t set guidelines for what’s “fair” so you get many liberal outlets presenting just right-of-center as the opposing viewpoint.

In many ways it accelerated Limbaugh et al because viewers could see they weren’t getting an accurate conservative viewpoint in the mainstream and thus trusted it less, leading to other outlets.
Sounds like a permanent mid-life crisis.
Sure, but from how I interpret the clause it would be the exact same amount of BTC as you put in to purchase it. So it doesn't really matter if it's value relative to USD is less? You are in the same position as if you had not bought the car.

"If you are entitled to a refund of your payment or to a buyback, we reserve the right to refund you either the exact Bitcoin Price that you provided to us at the time of purchase"

Either way you are getting either 1. the exact amount of BTC you put in or 2. the USD value of the car.

> Just mentioning this because sometimes it seems that people think the way you learn to play an instrument is by learning to play a score.

I think this is what can be a little misleading, depending on what “learn to play” means.

Yes, anyone can “play” an instrument without formal instruction/training, but it will definitely limit your abilities and potential (for the average person and most above average people).

As someone that took very little formal training and can play piano by ear relatively well and can pick out and play many tunes, my abilities and potential are quite limited. I can also read music (I’m more formally trained as a trombonist), but I’m super slow at reading and playing piano music.

Looking back, I now wish I had learned more formally.

I’m speculating this was one of the points the GP was trying to point out.
