>> Having female A.I. assistants perpetuates the gender wage gap by creating the idea that assistant jobs are a women's role.

is there any proof of this or does it just sound true therefore its true? Specifically theres two claims here that i don't see any data backing up:

1. Female voices of AI creates the idea that assistants jobs are a women's role.

2. Assistants jobs being perceived as a woman's role somehow makes the (nonexistent) wage gap worse. Despite the fact that assistants tend to make more money than garbagemen. (a field dominated by men)
You have to be careful with the 80/20 US Census split numbers between urban/rural. Between myself and a couple neighbors, we're on 100 acres next to even more conservation land. One neighbor has an apple orchard. Another a Christmas tree farm. The town I'm in is considered urban because we're near a major city and adjacent to another small city.
This assumes all votes were based on race and that voting for a white person makes you racist and voting for a black person makes you not racist. There is just so much wrong with that.

That "3-4 months" is going up at an exponential rate, and it's so bad now that by the time 3 months comes by the expected time to reward is 6 months. Even if you get 1 reward, you won't get a second reward unless you continuously keep buying drives and racks for them. You can't really get continuous passive income on a fixed set of hardware.

The war on drugs put people in prison for emotional belief those people were morally inferior.

It rightly so should be abolished.

To be replaced with trained medical help, detox programs, and a conversation about morality not tethered to superstition, or black and white judgments.

But the fundies, acting out of emotion, prefer boxes.

It’s all emotion since humans are motivated by such. It’s the outcome that should be judged.

I like how this guy's post is "Here's a video of a Tesla steering itself on the highway. It's a better driver than you." Like this one video and this one experience on this road is proof that the car is flawless and has no issues. I don't see any other cars in the video crashing either, so they must all be better drivers. If this guy is so bad, he shouldn't have a license.

Indeed this can (and does happen) but the non-profit can loose its status if it starts doing stuff that does not further its purpose as stated by the bylaws. And the tax authorities can decide that your stated purpose would not be tax exempt (for example a union would not be tax exempt and neither would a collector society [think for example a numismatic society])

First, comparing capitalism to Auschwitz is obscene. Second, nothing in nature is free. It isn't free for animals today: all of their energy is expended just staying alive. The Rousseauian view of hunter-gathers as living in Eden is nonsense. The death rate for children and mothers was horrifically high until fairly recently. Entire diseases, once deadly or debilitating, have been cured.

If you want to go work on a farm, you can (and I know people who do). You can join some collective living arrangement, you can become Amish, you can live on a kibbutz. You can travel around the country picking up odd jobs and surviving perfectly well because food is so cheap. You're free to do what you like but what you choose to do is whine on the internet because you dislike freedom.

There's plenty of room for improvement in the world. It's sad that people instead babble about "slavery" and "sugjugation," things they know nothing about.
Sure, I'm all for taxes.

As an individual after I've voted, and I still want to contribute some of the earnings I've made, how do I go about that? Is it the best just to start political influencing. Why not directly give money to specific areas of science.
Making science a little bit transparent to general public might give motivation for people spend some money that is not distributed similarly as tax payers.

Currently people are supporting e.g. musicians through patron-like systems, why not scientist. I think there could be a risk in that scientist would need to start wasting their time managing some kind of public display of what they do.

There definitely should be a really solid financing from tax only, and it would be horrible if a system was created to undermine that so that you would need public collection of money for projects. I'm not saying that.
Also non-human-readable data formats...
Even so bitcoin takes it to its logical extreme. You put valuable resources in one end and get money out the other side. In between, no useful work is done. It's the essence of capitalism without any of the beneficial side effects we've come to expect.

I snagged an HP7475a off a local buy and sell site recently for $60. Came with a serial-to-plotter cable (which I only realized after splicing that cable, working out the wiring, and finding it was already the cable I needed :( )

Non-native English vs Native English is nothing compared to European French vs Canadian French.

To a EU French ear, Canadian French is a horrible butchery of the beautiful language that is French. The Canadians don't roll their R's properly and all sorts of other unspeakable things. ;-)

Meanwhile, an EU French person visiting the French speaking parts of Canada will often have a significant amount of difficulty being understood. This is not because of their lack of mastery of the French language, but because their true pronunciation of French is not what the Canadian ear expects.

Splitting states is specifically addressed in the section. It just takes a vote of the involve state legislatures and Congress.

Moving counties from one state to another doesn't require Congress be involved as no state is created or destroyed. I assume that legislatures of both states would need to agree to the border change but it isn't something that is addressed.
>American Values ... normal rural Americans are outnumbered in Oregon

What sort of logic supports that American values are those held by a minority of Americans. What possible values suggest they are the normal ones?

> 3. Low Tax

The counties involved have median household incomes of 30-35K, making their tax burden $600-1100 total, a far cry from the average quoted, which is skewed right strongly by outliers (1%), which tend to be outside of the counties in this idea.

> 5. Thriving Economy ... low unemployment

Economy is a second order effect. How does having a low unemployment affect the number of jobs in the actual areas? Cause and effect are reversed in this claim.

> 6. Representation: ... But our reps would be in the ruling party in Idaho

I think the word is "governing", this is a little confused about the difference.

Points 1 and 2 should be combined and addressed as "how civil services protect and better the community".

The issues of homelessness, drug addiction, and dis-enfranchisement of displaced people all relate to failed social safety nets and social planning. My understanding is that decades ago, in the early 80s IIRC, a terrible abuse and system for housing the mentally ill was disbanded. Unfortunately nothing took it's place.

There are also very troubling issues related to lack of housing, lack of jobs, and lack of a proper program to connect displaced individuals with that type of societal re-integration. A New "New Deal", in any form, could enrich the value of society by re-educating and providing jobs which enrich the commons of society thus improving the lives and economic fitness of all. Better those handouts from our taxes trickle up to the rich, as all else currently does, than go directly to their coffers in tax cuts.

Point 3, and probably 5 as well: The report I suggested would be the best way of understanding this issue for everyone. The issue is Taxes VS Benefits; not absolute tax taken. Until the balance of benefits to taxes is understood this is a straw man which needs more data for all sides to understand.

Point 5: Regulation in specific. Ideally regulation prevents more problems than it causes. Regulation should allow assumptions about fitness for use, safety, and fairness to all parties involved to exist. If there is some regulation which does not contribute to this common good, to the preservation of the commons, or if there is a lack of regulation which is resulting in abuse, then said regulations should be revisited by the representatives of the people.

6: "the ruling party" I take this as slang for the currently dominant political party, but it is strikingly 'Us' vs 'Them' and very divisively secessionist. Extremely misguided. Reform of our electoral systems and categorization of representation should be undertaken to finally liberate all citizens from the First Past The Post voting system to ANY kind of instant runoff. We need to have a spectrum of political parties to promote compromise and plans that work for many rather than for few.

It looks like the difference is you went for full x86 system call level emulation to handle existing binaries whereas stackblitz decided to build a container for things like Node compiled directly to WASM with no static assumptions of a base system. The latter approach with 1 less level of indirection should be much more efficient, as is evident by startup times of the 2 demos. Not to mention the ability to hook into things above the syscall level.

30 years ago was 1991. In many ways a lot of things have changed since then but if you had put savings then into something reasonably simple like a broad-ranged mutual fund, or a mix of an equity and a fixed income fund, you’d basically be fine. If you had bought a big house it depends on the location. Roth IRAs haven’t been around for 30 years but even if you do have to pay tax, you still get all that compounding happening before this imagined tax. It probably wouldn’t be worse than just having a taxable account and that would be fine anyway.

One other thing to keep in mind is that older people vote more so voting populations skew a lot older than the regular population. I find it hard to imagine such people voting for anything terrible for the old.

I did not read through every posts but I have seen a lot of ignorant comments regarding PoS and dPoS. Also I am very surprised that Tendermint (dPoS consensus), Cosmos (decentralized network using Tendermint) and Cosmos SDK (used by many projects, e.g. BNB) do not seem to be mentioned anywhere. I would suggest anyone interested in this topic to have a look at it.

Seconding this recommendation; I've never come across a single content creator that manages to tie together so many disparate concepts into a cohesive whole the way Geller does.

I'd recommend the two episodes released right before the one about the black hole information paradox too. They set up for what is covered in the information paradox episode.

"Why Quantum Information is Never Destroyed" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF-9Dy6iB_4

"What Survives Inside A Black Hole?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GscfuQWZFAo

Maybe the episode before those two also. I vaguely recall that something from the information paradox episode used something from that (and if I'm misremembering, it was still a neat episode):

"Noether's Theorem and The Symmetries of Reality" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04ERSb06dOg

I have a question about the episodes you cited. They cover how beyond the event horizon space becomes time and time becomes space. They go over how that means that inside you can't go backwards in space for the same reason that out here in the normal universe you can't go backwards in time. You are doomed to only go forward, which inside means toward the singularity.

(Much better than the ridiculous analogy often given that you can't get out of a black hole because the escape velocity equals or exceeds the speed of light. That's a ridiculous analogy because it only explains why you can't get out ballistically).

But all their explanations used a simplified black hole in a spacetime with just 1 space dimension and 1 time dimension. We've actually got 3 space dimension. Does that mean that in a real block hole past the event horizon, you end up in a spacetime with 3 time dimensions and 1 space dimension?

If so, does anything interesting happen due to having more than one time dimension?
Great line of thought.

But let’s find some meaningful problems that come down to relatively simple calculations fist.
Digital Ad-Tax
Those people in the middle of the country believe that if they all quit their jobs and demanded a government-given wage, that the country would starve to death.

If all of the people at facebook, google, and twitter quit their jobs, however, all that would really happen would be that the country would get a bit more peaceful.

You're talking about how much is taken in taxes. These people are talking about how much is given in life.
Seems like a moral judgment came at a very significant cost.

Thanks!

The c5 instance type is about 10-15% faster than the m5, but the m5 has twice as much memory. So if memory is not a concern then switching to c5 is both a little cheaper and a little faster.

You shouldn't need the c5n, the regular c5 should be fine for most use cases, and it is cheaper.

Because America is balanced on a knife's edge, and the Senate and Electoral college basically runs the show.

If you introduce a new state that leans blue, that's two more blue senators and N more electoral college votes for a blue president. Republicans will staunchly oppose this. And vice versa.

If the senate were proportional to population, and if the electoral college were likewise apportioned via popular vote, then maybe you could be more flexible with state boundaries.
Why do this at all?

Interesting concept. I like it generally. Congrats! Things I don't like:

* Too many ads. No way to escape them (eg can't pay to remove ads). Even without payment, I think you should remove ads that appear after the player finishes a dungeon. Ads can be used as a punishment mechanism when you die or when you run away. But I think it would be a lot better if you removed ads from the bottom of the upgrade screen, and if you reduced the frequency of seeing ads. I might just not play much if there are that many ads. It really degrades the experience.

After 10 minutes of playing, the repetition of messages gets a bit old. Especially in situations where one attack move has multiple similar effect. Like there's one that gives you more physical and magic attack power. However it splits up the messages and animations into two, making it take twice as long.

The winning messages could be a lot quicker too - put the "you absorb the monster's magic" (or whatever) message in the pop up that asks you whether you want to learn it or not, rather than as another combat message at the bottom you have to wait for.

And when you kill a monster, you shouldn't have to wait through irrelevant effects like poisoning them, or raising your attack power. They're dead, its over. Would be nice to squelch irrelevant messages.

I think it is legal indeed to filter candidates by these metrics prior to the interview.

As a hiring manager at a previous company, I was explicitly told by HR to automatically move all female candidates to the phone screen step, regardless of their resume, to improve our chances to get a "diversity hire". I assume HR knew what they were doing from the point of view of the law.

That being said, this is just one anecdote. I have not seen it at another employer. I don't know how common it is.

I have them as well. Noise-cancelling is amazing, compared to another n-c headphones I had (large Jabra ones). However, the audio quality on bluetooth when connecting to my 2013 MacBookPro running Windows 10 is too bad to use it (it's totally fine when connecting to my iPhone SE2). Thank god for the audio jack, which I use every time I want to listen to something from my laptop - but it doesn't carry the microphone line, so it's not a solution for calls.

Another issue is microphone audio quality - it's worse than on headphones where microphone is on a boom.

Also, the switching between connected devices is a travesty (fails a lot of the time), I eventually turned it off altogether.
The concept of "travelling backwards in time" is very odd.

To "travel in time" I guess first one would have to define what exactly is this "time" one is about to travel backwards in.

So... what exactly is "time"?

And does "time" even exist as something concrete which can be traversed? Or, is "flow of time" just something created within the brain as a way to keep track of changes in things we experience?

Or is it something else, something totally different?

(I don't know the answers, I'm asking based on what "time travel" could be possible in the first place. Hoping John Titor chimes in, too.)
