> They ultimately identified more than 260 structures that appeared to be fortified detention camps. Some of the sites were capable of holding more than 10,000 people and many contained factories where prisoners were forced into labor.

All BuzzFeed jokes aside, this is an exceptional piece of journalism. They managed to identify the exact spots where China was holding the Uyghurs, Kazakhs. "They began with an enormous dataset of 50,000 locations. Buschek built a custom tool to sort through those images."

In a time when even mentioning anything remotely to China can get you in really hot waters, kudos to them for pursuing such news.
> Most ... doctors, lawyers ... are men.

Today there are more women graduating medical and law school than men. Given the trends the current imbalance (of sheer numbers) will be a thing of the past in a decade or two.

> It looks like schools are performing better for men than women.

Or school isn't the only factor? Schools could be failing boys, and society could be failing women in other ways.
I agree, there was the adrenaline at first.

Plus, pandemic made my work suddenly WFH on a project already underway, with coworkers I already knew, so we went into it with momentum, perhaps even greased by being suddenly free of meetings, brown bags, time taken forever birthday celebrations down the hall, etc.

Gradually, however, those projects finished and new began. Yet, those new projects lacked the momentum. The toll of zero socializing crept up.

Then, 8 months into pandemic, I started a new job at new company. Onboarding 100% remote. Have never met new coworkers in person. I definitely feel I’m flying blind, that coworkers don’t really understand what the others work on. But the corrosion is subtly happening at just about the speed of rust.

I miss the meetings, the brown bags, the casual chats in the hall, the conversation at lunch that make unexpected connections or spark ideas.

My takeaways:
1. WFH isn’t static; effect changes over time as projects turn over and new employees onboard.
2. The organizational effect of the difference between 100% vs. 75% WfH, as compared to 75% vs 50% WFH is NOT = 25%; some other logarithmic scale of corrosiveness is resulting as we move to higher % WFH. Personally, I think I’d be most productive at 50% WFH (2-3 days per week).

(PS-none of above relates to trying to WFH with kids; that’s just impossible and a completely different topic.)

> the other party owes you nothing.

No, that's an aberration perpetrated by software. The same problem has manifested in interviewing. Maybe you're thinking of "nobody owes you sex" instead?

If you greet a person in real life or over a call and they intentionally ignore you, they are being rude. Obviously, if you're being rude first, that's different. They can say "hey" back, or "sorry, I'm not interested" or "kind of busy right now, can we pick this up later?" There are plenty of options.

Well I guess this is an indication of what it would take to get elisp to have real multi-processing. It will be interesting to follow this process to see how the workflow pans out, and should be of major interest as a case study. Making such invasive and extensive changes across a large codebase and countless 3rd party libraries is a daunting coordination problem for open source projects.
I thought this is about ADPD light sensors, which usually can be switched from light to RGB mode. The summary mode is called ALS, ambient, and I was wondering how the internal formula goes. als = cr * r + cg * g + cb * b. In CS you usually just assume that the constant factor for each frequency is 1.0, but I cannot believe shorter waves have the same energy than longer waves. They don't, so all RGB calculations in shaders are not physical. cr must be higher than cb

With bank payments I just have to be careful to check I am actually at the bank website when entering the login info. Makes me feel more in control.

I guess people in the west were already used to giving out their card info over the phone to make purchases so wasn't a big deal when online sites started doing it. In India credit cards were still not wide spread (still aren't) in the early 2000s.

I was thinking that for a company to lose an employee is not something negligible but usually not the end of the world, while, for the average person, losing their job could be a big deal. Given this asymmetry in power, I can imagine that the employee is the one that usually has to compromise on things.
Allow me to correct the two logical distortions in your proposition.

Distortion 1) You can't take the outliers of a flatter distribution and generalize that to the entire population. You can't even compare the averages of two separate distributions without qualifiers.

It is true, most of the people who run governments are men. Most of the people who own companies are men. Most of the people who dominate C levels are men. Most highly paid professionals are mostly held by men. Most of the top outliers of capital ownership are men.

But it is also true most men don't run governments. Most men are not even remotely close to running companies. Most men are not C level execs. Most men don't have high paying jobs. Most men don't have any capital (if not negative).

Distortion 2) Even if it was true that it was exclusively powerful men's fault that boys are failing, it is completely irrelevant to bring it up when talking about men as victims, unless one would also suggest that boys somehow deserve to suffer educational disadvantages because of those men have a lot of capital, or there is some hidden variable that connects the two events.
The earth survived bigger catastrophes, so the issue is at which point humans will fail to continue expansively exploiting resources. Even with the human-centric catastrophes, humans will persevere, even if in small numbers. There is a limit to how far humanity can go in exploiting resources and that cannot be "solved" because humans expand into whatever niches they can, like most life on Earth.
Almost all container breakout concerns rely on running containers as a privileged user:

There is an issue that I've been tracking, and there has been a new PR that will hopefully land soon to implement this in Kubernetes in a simplified manner:

https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/127

As for whether security policies prevent breakouts, it really depends on what the exploit is but they can significantly help. The idea of user namespace remapping solves a secondary issue though... if there is a breakout, what user privileges will they have.

Reliable and cheap health care is a huge boon for small entrepreneurs. There’s little regulation to deal with as a software company. Child care and great schools are cheap or free.

Yes firing people is much harder, that is a different context compared to the US you have to properly plan for. Which we do over here.

So for instance the story is that Cambridge University was founded by people who were disgruntled at Oxford. Also there's a number of institutions that were founded due to religious affiliation, IIRC UCL in London.

Nowadays there's an entrenchment that makes it hard to just go and do your own uni. It's not illegal, but you need to find supporters who won't just say "hey why don't you just go to X existing uni". And there's already a uni for whatever speciality you're into, plus the big names that are the specialists for every subject.

Maybe men are just not inherently less suited to academic success, which is being made more clear now that systematic discrimination in their favor isn’t preventing equal-terms comparisons with women in that domain.

Equality of opportunity doesn't mean equality of outcomes, after all.

If your concede that there's a trade off then there is a point where the efficiency gains outweigh the negative externalities.

I think it's unknowable right now where we will land, and as an optimist I choose to believe we will end up on the right side of the trade off, based on the apparent efficiency of market forces.
You're right that it is an axiom: "a statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true."

There's nothing "hard" about money that requires a nation's worth of energy simply to continue to exist.

Proof of stake isn't fundamentally flawed, and proof of work isn't perfect. They both have many variations, and there's certainly many more to explore yet.

This is the case for 90% of applicants to college (in general) in the states too, including my undergrad (which happened to exist in the city I was born and grew up in). I hardly went to a prestigious undergrad but I had several brilliant professors that had significant pedigrees, educationally speaking.
I went to college a 12 hour drive away from home, rather than something in-state for exactly this reason.

Yeah, I can appreciate certain complaints about the way men are portrayed in media and popular discourse, but it seems like a leap from there to phenomenon in question. We criticize men for telling women to smile, or whatever ... and somehow the end result is that they give up on their career ambitions?

Would a 21 year old woman with a high school education who is extremely attractive be more sought after by more men than a 40 year old woman of average attractiveness who has a PhD? I'd guess yes, and I don't think it'd be a close contest. I'd guess about 90 percent of men would go with the former if they had a real choice between the two.

It's not that the PhD doesn't add to the attractiveness. It's just not the most important variable for most men. You might differ, but unusually intellectually curious men on HN aren't really representative. Most people have very little intellectual curiosity.
I wonder if I'm the only kid who expressly did not do what their parents did in this thread.

Of course I also sit in a cluster, knowing several other kids who also did not want to become restaurant workers. It was simple really, our parents would say "I'm serving fried rice to people so that you won't have to." None of my family friends have taken over the family business. It's nearly an insult to suggest it, I remember seeing an article about my friend's dad having his anniversary at one of Copenhagens most beloved Chinese grillbars. The FB comment section made it clear she had no intention of taking that over, his hard work had resulted in a cushy white collar job for her and she was thankful for that.

Oddly my wife, a doctor's kid, also got put off being a doctor by her dad. He had long become cynical about working in the NHS and let his kids know when they got to the age where you think about this.

The EU is no different with regards to movement. Just consider public health care in say Norway and in Bulgaria. Yeah it's financed indirectly by public funding but the quality can be terrible. In Croatia (where I'm from) you will regularly wait for 6+ months on life altering procedures and tests. And the public health system is in a constant crisis because of underfunding and overuse - just a few months ago drug suppliers cut off a few big public hospitals because the debt was insane (and the entire system is operating with billions of debt rolling over for years).

The upside is because of such huge disparities in standard of living, if you can work remotely you can afford to use all private healthcare that's actually decent and affordable by western standards (it's built for medical tourism for western countries).
Assuming a traditional household here with a working dad and stay at home mum, if the woman is mostly responsible for childcare, that's also a huge load. Just because the mother here isn't bringing in money doesn't mean she isn't working. Personally I'd take the employment (and have).

I think that's because you knew what Buzzfeed News was and if we see other HN comments it looks like many 'here' thought Buzzfeed News publishes only contents like '15 Hedgehogs With Things That Look Like Hedgehogs'; But that's Buzzfeed and not the News site.
