How are the Nuraphone cans with sound leakage? I've had hearing issues since childhood and tend to turn the volume WAY up. Nuraphone has been on my radar for a while, but I exclusively buy headphones with as near-to-zero external leakage as possible, since I don't want to piss off my co-workers with audible music.
The question is not if writing is important. It's very easy to argue that a nurse is more important than any engineer, but they are never paid as well, people have more or less accepted that.

This will be the split between societies that practice eugenics plus other genetically deliberate policies and those that don’t. People talk about science denial but nobody points out the largest group of science deniers in the entire world: people who deny that natural selection exists. It’s as stupid as thinking the earth is flat.

Natural selection will happen whether or not we want it to. Every trait, physical or otherwise, that human beings posses is the result of natural selection. If we continue down this road where nobody gets removed from the gene pool because of modern medical intervention, we will eventually become very, very sick creatures. It will be a horrible existence. If health, intelligence, empathy and other traits aren’t selected for then they will shrink and eventually disappear. And it could happen much faster than it took to evolve those traits.

Don’t be a science denier. Confront the difficult truth that natural selection exists. We can find a morally acceptable solution if we put our minds to it.
I’m hopeful that the 5001st reincarnation of the Cosmic Entity Zuckerborg would have successfully eradicated all life on the planet before then.
This is an absurd take on it.

What you say is 'Mostly' true - in a bad flu season the medical community has a name for it, clearing out the dead wood.

But 'Mostly', when scaled to really large numbers, is still a scarily large number.
And Mostly, in this instance, is still a long way from the truth.

First, there is a significantly increased risk of dying beyond the first 30 days of illness (ie when many people have recovered) [0]

Beyond the first 30 days of illness, individuals with COVID-19 had an increased risk of death (hazard ratio of 1.59 (1.46–1.73)). We also estimated the adjusted excess burden of death due to COVID-19 per 1,000 persons at 6 months on the basis of the difference between the estimated incidence rate in individuals with COVID-19 and all VHA users. The excess death was estimated at 8.39 (7.09–9.58) per 1,000 patients with COVID-19 at 6 months. Individuals with COVID-19 had a higher risk of requiring outpatient care (hazard ratio of 1.20 (1.19–1.21)), at an excess burden of 33.22 (30.89–35.58; all excess burdens are given per 1,000 patients with COVID-19 at 6 months) and at a greater frequency of 0.47 (0.44–0.49) additional encounters every 30 days

Secondly, it is not just death that is a concern (and again i'll stress that really, a lot of young people, through sheer weight of numbers, are dying of this. Huge number of infection, huge number of death, even at <1% CFR).
It's long term morbidity.
Your risk of death may be less than 1%, but your risk of hospitalisation may be 5-10% depending on your comorbidities and age.
A person admitted to hospital and requiring ICU support and ventilation may have a 4-6 week hospital stay during which they lose 30% of their muscle mass.
Once they come out of hospital, they need to learn to walk and eat again and go to Rehab for a couple of months.
What would that do to your life?

That’s not the meaningful comparison, because Twitter has no control over what people do on their own, whereas their algorithm was introducing bias into photos with no recourse for the people posting the images.

I would argue that a 7% preference for White women over Black women is pretty darned significant. But beyond that, cropping a photo in a way that disrespects the intent of the poster is not the right approach. Fortunately, Twitter realized that it goes beyond the numbers.

This sounds like many niceties, BUT the elephant in the room is the utterly uncompetitive way private contractors are chosen to run the routes, and as a result, high prices / low quality of the actual journeys. Operators have a nice oligopoly on the routes, with barely any competition for tenders.

One example is that different routes have different hardware requirements. And guess what, the only provider who has the right kit available immediately is the one whose contract is just expiring. Please name your price and sign on the dotted line.

LoL is still one of the most popular online games now than a decade after launch. HoN was a critical and commercial failure at launch.
I don't know, it doesn't sound /too/ far fetched - there is already a class divide, and the pandemic has shown that quite nicely.

If the circumstances were right, I could see a catalyst creating a more 'rigid' divide. I doubt it will, but I don't think it's out of the question for 1000 years time.

So many threading primitives have different names on different platforms. This is basically Go's WaitGroup, except the C++ latch can't be incremented (it's otherwise identical). I wonder why that is?
I think this is a matter of opinion but how is libera or libera.chat a better name than FreeNode?

How do you even pronounce that? Lee-Bear-Ah? Lee-Bera? Libra? Leebra? Liberia? That last one is a joke.

In Latin Libera is to deliver and pronounced Lee-Bera
In Spanish Libera is to liberate and pronounced Lee-Bear-Ah

I can't say either of those roll off the tongue in either language and any English mispronunciation of it is just awful. Lee-brah and the like to me is about as grating as Tay-Co (taco), Jal-Ah-Peeno (jalapeño) or Ques-Aaadla (quesadilla).

This is a major loss of brand for the network. I'm sure I'll get downvoted into oblivion.

Well, Exxon knew about CO2 emissions from its products (and that they were causing global catastrophic climate change) but pretended they didn't know anything - they played dumb for decades while they cooked the world. Worse, while playing dumb about it, they tried to convince everyone in the world to join them in being 'stupid'. (funding climate change denial efforts, for example)

Meanwhile, they produced as much atmospheric pollution as possible, maliciously, knowing the damage they were doing but pretending it was all a big misunderstanding.

That's just one example. There are thousands, though. We could do one more I guess.

Many Republicans in Congress are actively playing dumb about the insurrection, for another example. They say that it was just like a tour, they say that the real issue is "BLM destroying our cities" while ignoring that white supremacists stormed the capital and tried to kill our lawmakers and VP. People will call the rioters stupid and tell us they didn't know what they were doing. Sure.

They knew what they were doing. They were trying to overthrow US democracy and murder our lawmakers. That is malice. They pretend it is stupidity and a looooooot of people go along with it.

I honestly have a lot more. But here are two high-profile cases of obvious malice and wrongdoing while hiding under the guise of stupidity.
>Google Fi has a setting where you can have all unknown incoming calls screened by default.

It does? I've only ever seen the option to block calls identified as spam.

I've found the Google phone app's call screen to be nearly 100% effective at screening out spam calls. The ones that make it through and ring are those that don't engage with the assistant's questions at all, which is dumb. If I could reject callers that don't say anything to the screening questions I'd be golden.
I'm sorry you've had that experience, where I lived in Oakland nothing like that happened with any regularity. And I did not live in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Oakland.

But I mean, it is a city. These things happen in cities, I just don't see how it could credibly be claimed to be worse than San Francisco when the geographical variability is so high.

Anything I saw in Oakland was no worse than any other city I have ever lived in. I don't really know a better way to put it, I'm not saying it's perfect, I'm saying it's as fine as anywhere else of comparable density.

Usually such guarantees allow the implementation to use something other than atomics (e.g. memory barriers) for avoiding data races, which are more performant and can avoid contention/context switching/spinning.

I too would love to know the specific reasoning though.

In my experience those kind of clauses are more often used to silence wrongthink than to rid communities of people who are truly disruptive. You can count me out. The chilling effect is real.
It's even worse than that: the Kumbh Mela was organized one year earlier than it would normally be, and Modi/BJP are partly responsible for that.
The site can ask for such a setup, but Google is very much in a position to refuse and just don't index that site, unless it's one of, say, top 1000 sites.

I don't see any legal ground for such a limitation, so I can't imagine what would e.g. eBay or Walmart put in their suit if they tried to put such a limitation and then saw Google not honor it. Maybe someone with a legal background could comment.
Applause for the Transport Supremo for getting this done (for reference check Bed of Nails from Yes Minister).
Right, with exceptions you can `catch throw` to always get a stack trace of when the exception is thrown
It's a DIY kit too assemble. The build guide suggests you can have the numpad on the left side, if you prefer. Or neither, or both.

I would use neither side, to allow tenting the two halves.
IE 4 specifically was the big milestone. MS had a lot of catch up to do (they mostly ignored Internet before that).

I've used it for customer presentations, too. But with the pandemic, it's been quite a long time since I've done that.
Ignoring context where necessary is a sign of intelligence.
A good design puts the Numpad on the left (if right handed)

Primarily, this is because the mouse arm doesn't like being hyperextended to the right, resulting in shoulder issues down the line.

A quick look at this keeb immediately brings a few complaints to me. Primarily, the removal of the function key row always sticks out to me as an annoyance. Vertical space is most definitely not at a premium, as far as ergonomics go.
While this is a laudable goal and good for uncovering unexpected bugs, it also means writing for the lowest common baseline. And in this case, the lowest common baseline is unfortunately not very high. poll is what you want, but has its own gnarly gremlins. Better mechanisms are not standardized.
And so the privatization experiment come to an end. Bye bye Thatcherism. I hope this silly belief in the cure-all of "small govt" will die with it.

Sure govt's should not supply all food, or luxury good, or ... But public transport, schools, hospitals, ...

I think we should make a good set of rules by which we can decide which typed of biz should be in private hands, and what we prefer public.

It makes more sense to me to have the back break on the right foot, in normal (not racing) riding you brake way more with the front anyway, most people are right handed to having the make things stop lever be on the dominant hand makes sense.

But it is just a convention, Other parts of the world used different conventions until Japanese bikes exploded onto the market and we standardised on the current status quo.

I wasn't following the C++20 development like I usually do. A combination of no longer working with C++ and feeling a bit disillusioned by the long wait for Concepts and Modules. I did read a summary of all language proposals which made it in, but this made me realize I didn't read up on the changes to the standard library.
I read the article with that question in mind, it doesn’t mention any changes to sourcing the contractors.

At least in the context of platform-to-business interactions, the EU has done much of this (in the context of kicking someone off a platform they sell through) in Regulation 2019/1150.

They don't necessarily go as far as you're looking for (and I'd agree that some platforms are effectively becoming societal infrastructure), but it's a start. I'm not aware of anyone really putting these to use yet, suggesting the remedies aren't helpful enough or accessible enough.

This is not a universal truth. Come enjoy an African government hospital, then sample one of the listed private hospitals.
I am sometimes ashamed about my choice really since it seems like taking the easy route instead of pursuing something more meaningful. But almost 4 times the net income and a lot less anxiety and pressure are hella compelling when you want to start a family some day.

Generally I feel like retirement used to mean "I'm too old and frail to work anymore", until that brief blip between 1950-2010, give or take a decade or two.

It was a pretty cool idea that you could just stop working and enjoy life and its luxuries while still having a good few decades of quality life ahead of you. I believe this is really hitting Japan hard, as the age pyramid is inverted, and the relatively few working-age people need to support enormous numbers of people enjoying retirement.
Capsicum seems so useful, but some of the boundaries are so rigid. As far as I could tell, you can't capsicum anything like a TLS terminator or http proxy etc, because there's no way to allow opening new sockets after entering capabilities mode; you could have another process open up the sockets and pass the FD, but if I'm writing both the sandboxed process and the one that opens sockets, I'm not sure it makes enough difference. I ended up with jails instead, being stuck in a chroot with only a static executable, a config file, and a log file felt good enough to me.
