I suppose it depends on your definition of "normal." Just reading a couple of anecdotes about Matthias pattern-matches well against more than one faculty member I've encountered; if, say, 5% of faculty openly act this way with near zero repercussions, is it really "abnormal?"
Saying that you support the rights of transgender people is great, but it's possible to say that and still get it fundamentally wrong so much as to actively harm people. So if someone says that but then says "But I have concerns about women's safety" now you see how quickly trans women become removed from the conversation.

Hard disagree. Children with phones don't socialize face to face with other children. That's pretty much the most important skill taught in elementary school and you're taking it away from them. You can still let your child use computers at home, but they should have to interact face to face in order to socialize. Yes, the future is technology, but not being able to interact with people without anxiety is not a path to happiness, and that's what you get when you give children phones.
Well you can still track unique users without collecting PII. The information sent with every web request by default is still pretty useful. That's how we do it at https://www.hockeystack.com, no need for all this work.

Miles Davis had the greatest set of ears too. His thoughts on his contemporaries in these blind tests are very interesting, and hilarious.

"For a long time, Miles Davis and I had been trying to get together for a blindfold session. I was determined that when the interview did take place, it would be something out of the ordinary run of blindfold tests; and that's just the way it turned out.

Every record selected was one that featured at least two trumpet players. As you will see, this selection of material did not faze Miles.

Miles was given no information whatever, either before or during the test, about the records played for him."

What is interesting is the article is mostly concerned about the instances where potentially unsupervised kids could harm themselves or adults could harm unsupervised kids.

What isn't mentioned is the case where unsupervised kids could be the cause intentional or unintentional society to the community - causing anything from minor property damage (graffiti) to major property damage (arson) to bullying/violence.

One parents unsupervised older kid exploring their freedoms could easily be one communities source of over $36M of arson damage or be considered a member of gang of shoplifters.

Internet reselling doesn’t have nearly as much privacy as internet resellers suggest

If you are only hiding from your local network and ISP its fine

If you want to do that and change your location to a website it’s fine

If you are hiding from any government for a civil or criminal charge it is not fine

If you are hiding from any government intelligence so nobody knows anything it is not fine

It doesnt matter what “no logging” claims the internet reseller has, this is not verifiable and can also change at any moment
Well at least those microorganisms had a chance of a normal life, and you did the killing yourself.

Step 1 - drive competitors from the market by selling massively subsidised hardware below cost.

Step 2 - announce advertising is necessary because the "ecosystem" is unsustainable.

The rates depend on saving/spending preference. There is a "market rate" where the interest rate hits the equilibrium and therefore savings = investments becomes balanced again. Too far away in either direction will upset the savings = investments identity. Turkey is a good example. However, an aging population in the US is stacking the cards in favor saving preference.

When rates hit 0% you basically hit the "limit". The last dollar that can be saved has been saved. From this point on more savings just dilute the pool of existing savings. You then get banks that sell AAA rated CDOs filled with subprime mortgages. It's because that's what the market wants. Old people want zero risk savings/investments and when you tell them that is impossible they will keep believing the lies instead.
I don’t think Seattle does a great job of this either. The eastside is a suburban sprawl, and most of the parents I know in Seattle are too afraid of the homeless to let their kids go to parks/stores nearby alone.
Every faction across the political spectrum has interest in using authority to impose their will on others, that's the only purpose of politics.

That's the price we pay for making everything an interchangeable commodity.

If you go to the grocery store, there might be some organic chicken and non organic chicken, but not that much of a choice otherwise. There's no real way to know whether the place treats their chickens and workers well, what kind of feed or environment the chickens live in, if it's a local farm or a mega factory, and so on.

On the upside, the prices are lower and we get any kind of produce year round. On the downside, that produce might come from across the world, be specific breeds that survive shipping well and look good at the expense of taste, and generally not come from local farms but rather large factory farms.
Frustratingly many statically typed languages are not very strongly typed since they don't force you to check for null values. Kotlin/Swift/Rust really are a huge improvement over Java/Go/C#.

One difference is, in your headset you literally can't look away. It can track your head movements and glue the ad in front of your eyeballs.
This could in theory happen, but in my examples I'm adding the url right after someone converted -- paid for a subscription or completed an order. Those are unlikely to be shared with someone else (ideally). It's arguably more likely that the user will share it with themselves on another device, in which case the overall approach will work well.

I should also point out that the url tracker isn't meant to be persisted across page views. It's only done once at the moment that the user identifies themselves to your service.
It's not just the ads... it's everything.

If you have ever killed and eaten a laying hen you would know how tough that meat is. We definitely bred some mighty tasty chickens. I do think we could maybe refine them a bit for flavor and extend the time a bit more or less to get a more or less gamey flavor depending on preference.

The SQL in question which was problematic for me (tables renamed):

In short, this is sorting posts by the most recent comment, with a fallback to the post date if the post has no comments on it. Hard to get rid of the grouping here and get the same data back.

I believe the current interest in Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico, Mini SAM, and the like is because of an interest in how things worked when they were simpler and more mechanical. Especially since they allow for easy cross-breeding of modern computing with something more analog on a bread board or pHAT with any sensor configuration you can imagine.

It sounds like you would find some comfort in and around these devices.

The Floating Point Precision Error
Consumers are totally making the choice. You could make the same argument that the consumer's demand for lots of meat is causing the businesses to have to do this.

In reality it's a chain of choices made by multiple groups of people. The consumers, the industry, and whatever governmental regulatory bodies are involved. One group can't just give up responsibility of the choices they are making.

In the end, consumers drive the market. If there's no consumers of unethical meat, no one will unethically raise meat. Out of the groups of people involved, it's only the consumers participation that keeps the cycle alive.

Eating meat isn't a required activity for humans. If the treatment the chickens are going through doesn't seem ethical to you, continuing to eat it is hypocritical. You can totally reduce your meat consumption in order to afford eating ethically raised meat, or just not eat meat at all.

There might be an opportunity somewhere around this area to combine the versioning, continuous improvement, and dependency management of package repositories with the Q&A format of StackOverflow.

Something like "cherry pick this answer, with attribution, and notifications when flaws and/or improvements are found".

Maybe that's a terrible idea (there's definitely risk involved, and the potential to spread and create bad software), but equally I don't know why it would be significantly worse than unattributed code snippets and trends towards single-function libraries.

I don't think so. Although, there seems to be small trend, especially with golang utilities - to shift from text toward json - or rather a "worst of both worlds" - docker is a prime example of this, eg:

docker network inspect webservers -f '{{ range.Containers}}{{.IPv4Address}}{{end}}'

Once tools start down this path, I think powershell, or any shell built around primitives that work on tree structures, make more sense (ie: rather than cut, awk, grep-tools for printing named fields etc).

Does the separation of the grammar into its own file, like a .y file for yacc, make it easier to modify the grammar at a later point. Similarly, is it easier to modify a parser later on, if the input changes, if the patterns to be searched in the input and the state machine are stored in a separate file, like an .l file for flex.
It's really hard to avoid. It seems like every package of chicken has one of these thrown in with a few good ones. I usually end up checking them all and throwing the bad one out. It's terrible.
Even without going into nuanced situations, someone can be found criminally not guilty but civilly liable for the exact same actions, because there's enough evidence to say they're probably guilty but also reasonable doubt.

> And yes, I don't think that those "trans women" are, or should be considered, women. Actually, not even "trans".

You say this very lightly but it's obvious to me that you haven't really considered the consequences.

For example, you say "people who didn't undergo any gender reassignment surgery or hormone therapy". But you don't seem to consider that those are medical interventions. I think if you thought of them in that light, you would be a little more thoughtful about demanding that people undergo medical interventions for any reason, no less as the price of being recognised as their claimed, or lived gender.

Such requirements are common. In some countries in Europe until very recently transwomen were not allowed to change their papers to identify them as women and to declare the female names they used everyday unless they could demonstrate that they had been rendered surgically sterile, by castration. Germany was one such case.

I wonder also if you have a slightly romantic idea of surgery and hormone
therapy. The truth is that surgery doesn't magically transform a man into a
woman, no matter what some surgeons want us to believe. Some transwomen will
always look like men, no matter how much they cut off and throw away. Others,
will look like women without having taken any hormones in their entire lives. I
know that's hard to believe, but it's how it is. The human species is only very
lightly sexually dimorphic and some males can pass for women, and some females
for men, with very little intervention. In the case of transwomen, for many it
is enough to remove their beard (by electrolysis or photolysis) and take care of
their hair, to be immediately identified as women by everyone that sees them. On
the other side, history is full of females who cut their hair short, wore pants
and lived the rest of their lives as men.

But, I know the above is hard to believe so OK. Just please try to keep an open
mind and remember that you don't automatically know everything there is to know
about transwomen (and transmen).
