I think the parent meant that if your string was longer than the size of the read/write page plus the size of the guard page, and if gets() is allowed to, say, write the string from the end to the beginning (I think this is unlikely, but let's say it could), then it would try to write the last character (first) all the way out beyond your guard page, possibly scribbling on some memory that the application had allocated for something else.

This is probably the dumbest and least safe ways to take shelter from a Tornado. I mean first, they move at whopping 10mph-25mph and have a very very narrow damage path (most are less than a hundred yards). Every number of years you'll get a mega tornado somewhere, but those are rare events. Nearly all deaths in tornados are from people being where they are not supposed to be (first floors, or in a car) or not paying attention to weather warnings.

If you _had_ to, you _could_ simply move locations away from a tornado. If you move at 45degree angles to prevailing winds, for instance here in Kansas, that would be west or south, you could sidestep the mesocyclone. If you move northeast, you would increase the time for the mesocyclone to catch you. This is NOT recommended for obvious reasons: If everyone in a neighborhood tried to leave at once, a traffic jam would instantly form, and a car is the worst place to be. But still, if you had no other options, there you go.

The simplest form of shelter is a basement and is highly effective. Or on most new slab houses built in my state today, there's usually one room made of CMUs and has a timber ceiling (A 'safe room'). Even if you have a slab house, there are plastic tornado shelters you bury and provide ample protection if you _actually_ bought a house without a basement in Kansas.

This thing is the worst of all options: You can't move, you're trapped in it, it's above ground so it's susceptible to damage from flying debris (The main hazard in a tornado), it's not secured so you're going to be in a bouncing tornado hamster ball, and it it rolls onto it's door, good luck getting out.

Really the only use would be protect from flood events.
This is all well and good if you build your product from the beginning with the vision that it will some day be sold by sales people to huge companies. But if your expectation is that it will always be self service, a bunch of design and engineering work to make it flexible just looks like wasted effort. If you guess wrong in either direction in your early development you'll have problems. Either get to market more slowly because you spent time up front building for a future that may never come, or get to market quickly and deal with the repercussions later.

I'm sorry to hear that. Feminism has done a lot of real damage to our society and to the lives of children, men, women and families.

> hates any discussion

hates. Hate is ruining us. She hates discussion. Discussion?

"We are not discussing this. My belief is correct. There will be no discussion. My way or the highway."

It's destroying us. Just like feminism. Feminism is not about equality. It's about power, mostly about people who feel entitled to more power, who already have more.

Feminism, in its attempt to give women more power, has eliminated their power... to not work. Now, they are forced to go to work, in a dual income family, just to raise a child. That wasn't necessary 50 years ago. Women have always worked if they wanted to. In their attempt to fight the corporataucracy they have given it more power by doubling the work force, increasing the supply of workers, and thus suppressing wages.

Same reason there's a push to get more women in tech. To make tech workers cheaper -- not empower women. It's a lie.

Women blamed the patriarchy for "eliminating" their right to work. Now they have to. Do you think it's a coincidence that, since the 70's, feminism has increased dramatically, while wages have remained flat? Wages should be twice as high right now and women should still have the choice to stay home with the kids -- or men. It's been like that since human history, all the way back to hunter gatherers, and now suddenly, in a geological blink of an eye, kids are home alone for hours a day. Cared for the rest of it, mostly by people who are paid to, with no familial relationship or incentive to care for them and help them succeed.

Why do we think this is good?

It's not good. It's a real tragedy.
I say it is true. There used to be a lot of very popular twitter desktop apps that were used by the early adopters who brought lot of traffic to the platform.

A minuscule number of people read any of these studies or literature. To stop progress of scientific understanding because of some far fetched consequence isn’t a worthwhile trade off.

My crazy sexist Uncle doesn’t conduct a deep thorough review of scientific literature before spewing his deep contempt for women.

If I were to guess the number of people reading gender studies to bolster their biases, it would be in vanishingly small.

I think "winner take all" refers to certain areas, where being 20% better than a competitor can bring you 80% of the market share. (I'm not sure if this is an accurate way to view the world, but I think that's what OP was getting at)
You do realise you basically just said "science should only be used when it suits my political views"

Science is science. If you can't deal with the facts that's your problem.

If the facts are difficult, we need to work hard to come up with good solutions to hard problems. Putting your head in the sand and denying the facts will probably come back to bite you later very hard.
And this is the problem. Blockchain represents a revolution against existing financial power structures. I am personally far from convinced that this will go well, since we know from history that revolutions intent on removing power structures tend replace them. Even before we factor in geopolitics, I am not extremely keen on replacing my country's already too unchecked banking sector with some entirely unregulated, supranational line-up of blue-eyed ancaps and other speculators whose main qualification is owning enough GPUs in places where power is cheap enough to mine. I really don't see that working out well for me at all, regardless of the theory of democratizing access to financial services. Money is infrastructure, and those who own the roads set the tolls.
How much of that is genetic, and how much of that is societal? Pretty much everything I keep reading in this area never comes to anywhere near a conclusion.

Nature vs Nurture - it's this combined with a lack of scientific rigor that I primarily disregard discussions in this area. At worst discussions become a screaming match of woke.
Could you elaborate? I'm not convinced of your claim.
This doesn't at all track as an argument. The US government is far larger than the Unicode Consortium, and I do feel that the government should work on fixing some of our crumbling infrastructure. That does not at all mean I should join the government to do so. Moreover, any number of people in this thread believe they should work on skin tone variants; should they all join to advance that work?
Seen those too, especially the horny part.

Your assertion was that these people cannot accept race neutral, they’ll only accept anti racism.

With that framing, the perception of whether the list was racist does matter as it explains their motivation. Because they did perceive the list to be racist, it’s just not the case that they were taking issue with the idea of being race neutral.

Second, you are jumping to wild conclusions about what they were asking for. At no point did anyone say that “all white males with any power or authority” must be replaced. If that were true, it would stand to reason that they’d aim their ire at the entire leadership structure itself rather than on the one individual. Your blanket assertion may have some grounding in your personal experiences, but it is overly broad in this instance.

Finally, while the equivalence between minor slights and genocide has been made, that was not the reason why I brought it up. The reason why I mention minor slights is that, while they may be minor in isolation, when taken in context together they can reveal a pattern of behavior that is hard to explain to those on the outside, and thus is difficult to perceive to us as observers. In this instance it seemed that employees wanted to shave a forum to address this and were shut down.
By that logic, universities are a big contributor to ongoing economic inequality. You spend 2-4 years (at least, more if you want a post-grad) not earning any money, and in fact paying money to get the credentials needed to eventually become gainfully employed.

Internships & apprenticeships serve the same educational function of universities, except you don't have to pay money to get that experience.

In order to be consistent, either we force universities to pay its students, or at the very least encourage companies to start charging interns for the privilege of an internship. Neither option is reasonable.

Your opinion seems to come from the same school of thought that claimed cannabis consumption would surely lead to harder and harder drugs.

In fact, I have experienced the opposite: I do not enjoy any kind of "ugly", much less "extreme" porn. It turns me off.

The simplest kind for me, missionary position, or a girl alone, and that's it.
I'd agree with others on this thread, this list seems very random. It has consumer facing products, IC suppliers, tier 1 automotive suppliers. Each you'd interact with in different ways and use for different situations/volumes (this may be very unclear to an uninformed reader who just wants to plug something into a raspberry pi)

Some noted gaps:

- This is missing Murata on IMUs (they sell IMU ICs not packaged IMUs)

- Leaving Continental off of the radar section seems like a gap as well, they're a common radar supplier for automotive and autonomous vehicle companies.

- I might differentiate between MEMS micro-mirror based scanning and scanning via spinning. They're fundamentally different and can have very different form-factors/behaviours.

- Adding some suppliers for GPS systems might be useful. Localization systems that integrate IMU/perception inputs may also use GPS, e.g. Swift's Duro https://www.swiftnav.com/duro
The interactive ui shown is funny: the command allows you to type everything out except for the user name which is in a new box. This could have easily been on the same line. Something like a color or date picker would make more sense.

You're making a mistake. The boards charter isn't to set facebooks policies, but to ensure that Facebook is enforcing them consistently. Facebooks policies aren't free speech absolutist in the second sense, so it doesn't much matter. Advocating for what you did above isn't on the charter because the board accepts that Facebook has moderation policies as a premise of ensuring that it follows those policies.

To use a legal metaphor, fb policies are a constitution and the board is a supreme court. Facebook can amend it's constitution however it likes, and so there is no such thing as am unconstitutional law.
It was a false statement. You clearly would not stick up for short or ethnic men the way you do for women (who are already heavily privileged). Who determines what's attractive? Are you really suggesting society doesn't play a role? I've seen women with your left wing mentality talk about women's rights and BLM and then, in the next sentence, move on to making fun of Indian men and talking about how they would never date them. Most of society does share this hateful mindset.

You responded by saying "the sky is blue", do you believe some races are objectively less attractive than others?
It is if those are the only kinds of jobs available for people with lower levels of experience.
I really don't see why you think we need to regulate this sort of thing. It should be legal to release any sort of consumer product you want, and we clearly sell much more dangerous things at a hardware store. We shouldn't try to taxonomize consumer goods and regulate each category arbitrarily. We should just let producers and consumers make their own decisions. If I want to sell a treadmill with circular saw blades on each corner, and someone else wants to buy it, who are you to tell me that's wrong? If my hyper-dangerous fitness equipment company becomes wildly successful, how is that any different?

What were those lies? There was a foreign influence campaign. There was a bipartisan confirmation of that fact in the Senate. There were suggestions of vote manipulation (based on foreign actors accessing voter roles), but I don't recall any accusations being leveled. Many people thought Trump was an illegitimate president. There was a peaceful change of power. Obama showed up and handed over the reins.

The recent elections went much further. "Stop the steal" is pretty strong language. Trump called out particular state elections as having short-counted votes for him. There was wild speculation about counting efforts and voting machine manipulation. People stormed a congressional meeting confirming the outcome. Trump continued to attack our election processes and refused to participate in the inauguration.

> Allowing for a hint of nuance in your public policy

I am highly skeptical that is it possible for American legislation's 'nuance' to tilt a simple tax law in any direction but towards enriching the rich and powerful.

I feel like carve outs would be great for lobbyists and the politicians they pay patronage to, but it would destroy the effectiveness of the carbon tax: the industries with enough political power would negotiate exemptions because "there are no economically feasible alternatives" but making carbon-expensive activity economically infeasible is the core purpose or the carbon tax.

Exempting any industry in particular is just corruption.

> I don't see any justification for why humanity in 2021 is courting prion disaster to a greater degree than it was in 2000 BC.

While the kinds of people who would fly planes into buildings, release nerve toxins in subway stations or club entire villages of outsiders to death have always existed the ability to research and manufacture prions did not exist in 2000BC.

That combination of desire to destroy the world and the legitimate ability to do it with rapidly more accessible biotechnology is a disconcerting reality that we need to account for when discussing theses things.

Imagine a religious extremists organization mass producing prions and placing them in key parts of food supply chain. We probably wouldn't have a clue until it was too late.
I think the point was just that your personality is in large part a biological construct influenced by the soup of factors that is your physical body. If we could somehow transfer your "soul" (if there is such a thing) in someone else's body, your personality would likely change. How much? We don't know, but it would be non-zero. It's not just your brain, or your hormones, but also stuff like your guts biome.

Even if some of these are temporary and fluctuate, they'll still be part of "who you are".

But our general's health, socioeconomic context, influence of discrimination (or privilege), peer and society's pressures, etc, also impact our personalities in big ways, so it's pretty tough to separate one from the other. Heck, even what you eat can change it. If you google around, you'll find how people who eat a lot of trans fat were found to be generally more aggressive.
When it comes to nature vs nurture, the answer seems to always be that it's a combination of both. Unfortunately, this is a heavily politicized topic.
I’m struggling to think of a scenario where this analysis of would be more useful than just getting to know a person.

The author proposes two scenarios:

> Why do we have all these studies showing that male and female behaviors are so similar, yet people in everyday life continue to think as if males and females were very separable?

So basically intellectual curiosity. Fair enough, but I can see people using this information to reinforce and perpetuate biases instead of treating it like a factoid. I have a hard time thinking of an area where it’s useful to act on the idea of an “average man” or “average woman”.

> I am a strong believer that individual differences are more important than sex differences. Nevertheless, sex differences are also part of the picture, and may be particularly detrimental to a relationship if all partners go into the marriage thinking that they "should not exist", instead of coming to a healthy acceptance of sex differences, even laughing about them and attempting to understand differences in interests and motivations that fall along sex-related lines.

So, basically replacing one stereotype with a more accurate one. I agree with the author that the individual differences are more important, but they might be all that matters. It doesn’t matter if your partner is highly agreeable because of nature or nurture, does it? It just matters that you’re open to noticing your partner’s agreeableness. Plus, if we encourage people to understand these traits beyond the spectrum of sex, they can now understand agreeableness in any form, wether it’s at work, in the community, with kids or with a partner. That’s surely more valuable than only looking for agreeableness in women, no?

I do hope there's a new edition eventually, but as he says the core is still the same.
Not sure I see the problem.
I don't understand why peoople think there was "opression" of women during history. Men and women had different roles in society because of the various differences between the sexes. It doesn't mean they were opressed, it was just the most effective way to arrange things at those days or even today. Women as a whole are never opressed, not then and not now, the whole thinking is a devisive idea invented by feminists to advance their political ideas by putting a wedge between males and females.
Personally I don't really see the value in comparisons of these primitive statistics like rate of fire/reload time.

At a high level everything becomes so highly dimensional that any analysis on this level falls short compared to intuition.
Ask HN: What were your lapses of professional ethics?
What were your lapses of professional ethics?

mine - recent client asked for bid. Not favorite client but they paid on time. Had scheduling issues; to remain in client's good graces, proposal designed to be complete, but too expensive.

Saw tech forum questions - obvious that these people were also bidding on same project. I replied to one question with a general/vague response. Was ambiguous per physics/safety/EMC compliance reasons.

Client indicated my bid was too much, but retained to evaluate other proposals. Paid two days time to evaluate bottom half of bids. Did 2 hours ranking/evaluating.

Client awarded project to group rated low. Saw questions on same tech forums. Responded by providing only generic references (physics/EEtexts/standards/official regulatory sites) - no directly usable answers. Nothing specific to answer questions, but did provide enough information a competent engineer could discern a focus.

Client contacted 45 days hence with request to provide progress review, but too busy - provided a quick checklist for evaluation guidance. The checklist designed to help evaluate issues and directed focus of client to perceived weaknesses of contractor.

130 days hence, former client contacts with offer per terms of my proposal, but declined to accept another job. Noted as synchronicity when forum queries for motor-drive algorithms. Another spectral analysis question. Another plea for IEC61010-1 conformity design issues. Generic responses were provided, some perhaps misleading. Was disingenuous to my former client and abusive to contractor.

Ethical lapse is being asked because I have been asked to give one or more lectures on engineering ethics to non-secular school. I have become amoral and am increasingly Machiavellian. So want comparison to see if too far into 'dark side'. So what have you done in the work place that could be considered less than ethical?
