> Imagine if men used a "breast size" filter, do you see why this is so disturbing?

They do? Like what do you think they swipe left/right based on? It is another very apparent feature..

> There is no stereotype like this about white men, they are considered extremely attractive.

Where? Do you think a Muslim women would prefer a white men over another Muslim? An Indian women (living in India) a white one over another Indian?

I mean, yeah, all around white people do have a positive bias, mostly due to the US's movie industry exporting it.

> This has not been my experience in general, most men I meet in tech and in the US share your types of beliefs.

Maybe you just don't consider those things misogynistic, because frankly you do sound like one..

> Even asian women show these biases for only dating white men.

I doubt asian women date white men over other asian ones, but stereotypically asian people can be very racist, except for white people, I agree with you on that.

> They should take responsibility.

For daring to prefer someone with the same skin color as themselves? It's called a personal preference, and I agree there is a problem with racism, but come on.. Should we also be angry at men for not wanting to have sex with another gay men? That's like the most fundamental personal choice. It sucks, but you are way overstepping someone else's personal authority.
Yeah, I don’t understand why small positive changes always are met with “doesn’t matter”. It doesn’t matter in the same way that not littering, turning off the lights, reducing consumption and waste, donating to charity, or voting “doesn’t matter”. Let’s not promote this faulty way of thinking
Never heard this before, but personal seems like another word for private in this case.
I suppose calling the American civil war a world war makes sense for a country that calls a baseball tournament the World Series
Mine is the top comment on that first link with 34 upvotes. :)
It works like this sometimes, but people often look down on the fact that you gave away your work; if you're offering zero-cost, then you're probably zero-value, and undercutting someone else. True or not that's the impression given.

People tend to view someone with self respect more favorably, from what I've seen personally
Dynamite fishing is the number 1 cause of coral reef destruction in Indonesia. Search for "blast fishing in Indonesia" - there are plenty of youtube videos of the devastation this causes. They now have protected areas that have zero tolerance to blast fishing with regular patrols and long sentences if caught. Such protected areas are thriving in coral.
As I understand it, Brazil has recently asked the wealthy nations of the world to each pay $1 Billion USD to preserve chunks of the Amazon. Given the wealthy world is asking a much poorer country not to fully exploit its natural resources for the sake of the world, I think they have a fair point. If we want them to protect the Amazon, the rest of the world should help pay for it.

Perhaps there’s a way for the UN to purchase the Amazon as a global protected natural preserve? What other areas would be good targets?
This is completely different.

A helmet is a piece of physical equipment that uses the physical properties of its ingredients and the structure of that equipment to operate.

There is no logic in a helmet that impacts its safety feature.

This is a jacket that can, in software, decide to not do what it's designed to do.
The worst smoke can do is suffocate you, or raise your risk of cancer, but you can move out of harm's way.

Exactly. Getting people to see patterns is easy. Getting people to fork over money based on those perceptions is much more difficult. Ask any church plant.

I know everybody's posting tons of alternatives already, but I'm curious why https://transfer.sh isn't included. It has very simple instructions for encrypting against a recipient's Keybase GPG key, works from the site or command line, and has 14 days of retention.

Just curious, since I keep seeing Wormhome mentioned, but I never seem to see anyone mention Transfer (unless it's just a lesser known option and I happened to hear of it early).

That might be a rational argument (or the start of one), but it's certainly not what Bolsonaro has been saying.

He and his appointees have repeatedly denied climate change, even calling it a "marxist plot". He openly flouts and refuses to enforce the laws of Brazil, and illegally confiscates land (through violence) from native people.

Hardly a credible partner.
It was very weird having my last company's CEO talking to us about his focus on equity, when the mandatory company report showed his salary was 111x that of the average employee (at a tech company with no hourly workers).

At some point, you wanted to ask if he truly thought his salary was worth more than half of the development team's combined salary, and whether he thought that was equitable.
That's to say in less words that Blizzard never figured out the formula. This is because they focused on niche genres that doesn't appeal to kids.

Take Mario and Pokemon for example. Those IP will always attract new players for years to come. The formula is simple but it works.

In contrast, people aren't as crazy about RTS games as they use to be.

I recently watched a new Nova episode about scientists trying to find and/or breed and deploy heat-resistant coral to maintain certain imperiled ecosystems. It’s really interesting and relevant to anyone who is interested in this sort of thing.
We’re rapidly approaching an Ubik-like future where every object demands payment before use.

Maybe the idea of paying to open a fridge or unlock a door wasn’t just a silly sci-fi concept—maybe the wrong person just hasn’t considered doing such a thing yet.
+1 .. came here to say exactly this. While this site is great for finding out what others weapons exist, I don't think any weapons outside of m4, ak, awp are actually used.
If you're interested in this kind of thing, definitely also check out the upcoming HOPL conference -- co-located (whatever that means for a virtual conference) with PLDI this June. Matthias was on the program committee, along with a bunch of other PL OGs.

Definitely a fair concern, and thanks for reporting the issue. We're now working on moving to only using links on domains we control.
The problem is that, in this case, "Default Deny" can mean someone is dead.

And, I would go further. This kind of "Default Deny" means that this system simply does not comply with the standards and practices that give you legal shielding and are normally required for "safety equipment". It's going to have a whole host of "failure modes" that normally wouldn't be present because it has to "deny" usage under certain cases.

As such, they're going to lose a really large court case for very good reason.
> and then crashed and your protective device failed, leaving you crippled, and contemplating that for the remainder of your life

Where did you get the idea that you wouldn't know it wasn't working before you ride? The vest notifies you before you ride, it signals that it does not engage the protection... even if you happened to miss the payment, and the grace period, and ignore all the notifications along the way.

BTW, I am a very safety-conscious motorcycle rider, and I read both the article and KLIM's product page that the article links to. The fear that it will shut off and kill someone is the misleading impression that the Vice article left, but the product was specifically designed so that that can't happen.

I know the definition of "a lot" is somewhat flexible, but cryptocurrency has made only a tiny fraction of one percent of people wealthy.

Affiliate links are often hidden, and depending on the system might even lead to higher prices, because the shop is offsetting the affiliate program cost.

Whether the company does A/B testing, what does that have to do with me? That also can be implemented without external trackers and just be set in a session.

So I would say it’s a net-positive.
This makes the most sense. The remedy for non-payment should not be endangerment, it should be the well established route of civil suit and debt collections.

Are you suggesting that the energy usage of Bitcoin prevents attack, and that more energy usage would prevent government-scale attacks?

This seems to insinuate that the energy usage is justifiable in the act of securing a global currency.
> You may even realize that all of that enterprise cruft is not really necessary

I will never understand why so many Java developers insist that every public value must be implemented as a private value with get/set with no exceptions.

Or that every class needs to extend an abstract class that implements an interface.

Haven't they heard of YAGNI?
I didn't even realize Keynote had a latex engine. The equation support in Powerpoint results in nice formatting, but Powerpoint doesn't directly support latex format without third-party addins so it gets a bit tedious to use for more than a one-off. I generally end up using the equation editor in Word (that does support latex[1]) as a workaround, and just copying the output into Powerpoint.

Will have to give Keynote a try!

I wasn't imagining any such education, just provision of physical needs. More like commercial chicken farming, less like an actual nursery you'd send a child to. I did say this was monstrous, after all. One may hope that altruism, compassion, and child-rearing are human nature, and the robo-nursery could be phased out.
I don't think the GP was talking about content so much as how Twitter's features were shaped in the early years, by formalizing how users were creatively adapting the site. Twitter stood out that way.
Onyl possible in Japan. Because less vandalism (regarding the example public payphone pictured there, whith RJ-11 and RJ-45 sockets)
Across multiple vendors ( deal value ~2-5 million a year per deal ) the progression of where the sales people wanted to talk to us pretty much always went like this:

massive wine and dine [5-6 people from out side, two to three stops a night] -> dinners in nice restaurants [ 3-4 people on our side] -> lunches in nice restaurants [1-2 people on our side ] -> lunches [ me or me +1 on our side] -> coffee [ just me ]

This roughly corresponded to initial price down to "you are killing us" price, the later being additional 35-50% discount off the initial proposal ( which would typically be their published price less 20-30% to begin with )

> I think we're aggressively in agreement about one thing: the OB is actually not the US Supreme Court, it's the Iranian Assembly of Experts.

I think if you've concluded that from my prior comment, you're not reading what I've said with any open mind. Because I explicitly stated the opposite.

I think its also very clear that in practice "one part of the megacorp confirms the others" isn't how the OB has operated so far. There are cases where the OB has suggested FB adopt more aggressive polices, and cases where it has suggested it adopt more lax ones, and cases where it has told facebook that it wasn't acting in accordance with its policies. For example this one where, to continue the judicial metaphor, the OB remanded the case back to a lower court, noting that a "permanent suspension" was unconstitutional. Facebook can now have the lower court issue a different ruling (and then perhaps have that ruling appealed to the SC), or it could open itself to criticism by changing its policies to allowing a "permanent suspension", whatever that means.
Oh my. Well just off the top of my head. The UK has committed widespread systematic war crimes/crimes against humanity for generations in Ireland (+ is responsible for the deaths of the famine), Kenya, India, South Africa and localised war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan and many Asian countries. Bombing of Dresden also. To name but a few. Then you can probably argue forcing and dumping opium on China is another one.

Even today that are recent British war crimes where the perpetrators are alive and yet will never be prosecuted.
I am perhaps missing it, but my takeaway from the article was that doesn't seem to actually specify existing nuclear, preferring to talk about nuclear subsidy. If it were only existing nuclear I would mostly agree on keeping it save for certain certain end of life reactors (e.g diablo canyon built near an earthquake fault).
This can already be done with a reverse proxy and HTTP Basic authentication, but having it built-in would be nicer.
But they did address that a bit by re-adding open queue, also flex queue helps a little bit if say one day you wouldn't mind playing tank and then another day you just wanna go strictly dps. But I guess it should be fairly straightforward to expect people playing first person shooters to want to play mostly damage characters, and there's probably no easy queue-based fix for that.

The speed problems interestingly seem to be caused by a bug in an implementation of SCTP used by most (all?) WebRTC browser implementations:

https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole/issues/55

The symptom seems to be that the SCTP data rate drops with increasing latency (which used to be a problem with very old TCP implementations too, but all modern ones handle high-latency networks much better).
That is what this website [1] does. Simulating global weather from the surface up to the Thermosphere [2] a week in advance with the required fidelity to notify even continents would be an enormous undertaking. It would require detailed models of solar activity including how it reaches Earth.

As we get closer to reentry time the estimates will improve because there are fewer variables.

This particular case is notable because it is a deliberate uncontrolled reentry. Typically reentry is controlled, allowing for fine adjustments. Launch profiles typically also have some safety margin built in where even if a controlled launch becomes uncontrolled the spacecraft will still end up somewhere safe. None of that is the case here so the impact point is at the mercy of the wind.

You'd be fired for this comment in any big american corp today. The big players in the US have been pushing a new version of the divide&conquer agenda to the poor so they wouldn't accidentally develop class conscience. Basically, most Americans are being divided along the gender and race lines: men vs women vs trans, and white vs black vs asian vs latino. The goal must be dividing the society into a few tens of alienated camps that don't talk to each other. This policy is being pushed hard at every level: from schools and offices, to DoD and WH. It's pretty much an awkward religion or rather a cult, with church, heresy, bishops and inquisition.
From that article:

> fema projects that nearly thirteen thousand people will die in the Cascadia earthquake and tsunami.

From the rest of the article, it seems that this estimate of deaths is too low by an order of magnitude. More people died in the Fukushima earthquake, and that is in a country that is probably the most earthquake ready country in the world.

If you only have 15 minutes from the start of the earthquake to when the tsunami rolls in, given the density and the lack of preparation, I could easily see several 100 thousand people perishing if not a million.
Is that using WebRTC, or are they hosting the files on their backend?
haha....I knew about the stories, dabbled with their free tier cloud and quickly realized the stories are credible.

e.g. the cloud interface and price list had different SKUs. Much googling later I found some sketchy site that had attempted to map them grid style but still had lots of "???" where they just don't fkin map.

I was ready for per core billing but not that.

Exposure doesn't work when you realize you've signed a contract saying you can't advertise that you worked on this TV show. The only exposure you'll get is that the production now knows you're a sucker to call again.

Do people really think the show will let the photographer blast their pictures with "Joes photography did this" all over the internet? Best you'll be able to do is tell your friends verbally.
GP didn't call it a world war but rather the first industrialized total war.
I was referring to the technical developments of the war, most specifically the impact of rail (mechanized guns,like the maxim gun, were by then prominent in colonial conquest). The economy vs economy aspect was not recognized by anyone until the 1930s as far as I can tell.

On the political side I agree the US was uninterested in WWI and had a strong isolationist attitude towards the Second World War (which is why FDR fought the war mostly through executive orders through Dec 1941).

But the European powers, especially the Uk, were quite interested on a political basis in the US civil war, mostly siding with the confederate side both for trade reasons and to cut a potential geopolitical rival in half.

Going back to technology, I’m really not sure you could say the US was uninterested in that aspect: after WWI they became interested in air warfare and followed the work of (for example) Liddell Hart more closely than the British war office.

Also it’s striking that when the US finally entered the war they chose a logistics expert (Eisenhower) as European generalissimo rather than a direct war fighter (though he had fought in WWI among other places). I think that was in part due to learning from German difficulties in France and the US (technically illegal) supply chain support to the UK from ‘39.

Not true at all - stories ala Snapchat were not invented by users.

Twitter was (but no longer) awesome by allowing folks to consume plain text with socially agreed upon meaning rather than features of the client. It's my feeling that instead of piling on more metadata into the posts, they could have done something more similar to RES on reddit, and expanded the text limit.
I have a domain and use it with Gsuite but my domain contact email (to change anything with the registrar like moving the domain to another registrar) is still set to my gmail account. I did that because I thought you could get stuck in a sort of loop if you ever had problems with the registrar. You'd then not be able to potentially access your email to transfer your domain. But the same issue is possible if I lose access to my gmail.com account. How do you handle that situation or do you simply use your domain gsuite account as the admin contact with your registrar?
If the product is too expensive they should sell it with an optional payment plan with Affirm or a similar company that acts like a credit card with the hardware fully paid upfront. This is what Peleton uses... Tying payment to safety functionality is just waiting for a lawsuit.

It’s fun to collect specific armor and mounts at times. I just don’t enjoy all the grinds and kind of refuse to do them.
This is a horrible argument. The article itself went through the reasons that the previous common belief was not applicable to this unprecedented pandemic. Yet it concludes, without any evidence, this must have been caused by public health experts being so biased by their personal political convictions that they cannot interpret their scientific findings objectively.
