If you're interested in an intersectional discussion, then sure. But too often this framing of 'trans women are trans women, not Women' is used in bad faith to open the dialog of "What should we do about them in women's spaces then, since they aren't?'
He worked with a lot of white musicians and arrangers. In the 1962 Playboy interview, he famously said,
"I think prejudice one way is just as bad as the other way. I wouldn't have no other arranger but Gil Evans -- we couldn't be much closer if he was my brother. And I remember one time when I hired Lee Konitz, some colored cats bitched a lot about me hiring an ofay in my band when Negroes didn't have work. I said if a cat could play like Lee, I would hire him, I didn't give a damn if he was green and had red breath."

I'm sure I must have made a mistake as I wasn't able to replicate this with some quick local benchmarking.
Have you?

Currency is just an abstraction layer over "stuff". Land, buildings, cars, food, whatever.

If some other country has a bigger, meaner military and can roll over you and take your stuff, it doesn't really matter how many virtual coins you have. Your coins are only worth what they can buy, and buying something is meaningless if you can't defend it.

The military and by extension the military industry aren't going away unless we end up in a truly magical post-scarcity society where nobody has a reason to take stuff from anybody else, because they can get anything they desire materialized out of thin air for free. Which would also eliminate the purpose of having currencies.

>I think people underestimate how fragile this technology space is; we're talking a system that only a percentage of the population can use without experiencing motion sickness

FWIW the Quest and Index have largely solved this problem. There are still certain experiences in VR which require more motion-sickness acclimation, such as roller coasters or fast-moving shooters. However, 1:1 motion experiences no longer cause problems for even the most sensitive players, in my experience.

I've demoed current VR hardware to highly sensitive friends and family members without issue. The same friends and family couldn't tolerate earlier generations of VR for more than a few minutes.

The Impossible Burger is supplemented with a ton of B vitamins (for thiamine, several weeks' supply).

Most vegans eat lots of other B containing foods, including yeast (which is after all how plant-eating animals manufacture B vitamins in the first place, by fermentation during digestion). But for those who want to get it along with their protein source, the plant-based meat-simulacra also contain it.

Where I see people get 10k hours wrong is they think it *guarantees* top shelf world class success. That's a misinterpretation. The 10k rule is: *If* you make it to the top, you will almost certainly have put in at least 10k hours.

I'm not a Gladwell fan so I'm not certain about what he said. I'm only wanting to point out the difference between the rule and how very many misinterpret it.

There's an excellent autobiography called Miles, by Quincy Troupe. I highly recommend it. I've read it a few times over the years.

As for racism, Miles faced significant racism himself, being arrested, assaulted by police etc. I don't recall the details right now but he did say some angry and not-so-nice things about white people, perhaps born out of his own experiences.

Nobody can fault him for any kind of discrimination in his music though, as he's helped shape the careers of many jazz artists over the years, from all backgrounds.

In any case, Miles was a fascinating character. A master at his craft.

That sounds similar to FLoC, which is still very much identifying[1].

I think it's a bit dangerous to pass judgment without having first-hand account of the facts. Having said that, a lot of people are in the wrong here if this account is accurate.

If volunteers are invited to teach, then everybody needs to be onboard and agree beforehand, and no considerations regarding previously known qualifications can be raised after this process is over.

Boundaries need to be clearly set so these situations cannot arise.

OTOH taking unwarranted criticism is also not a good thing. If you see something like this you need to tell the big honcho to STFU, esp. when it's volunteer work anyway. Perhaps not in everybody's character to do this but once one has had some experience of this sort (I have) and given it some thought, it should come naturally.
Mayflower Autonomous Ship Begins Transatlantic Crossing Attempt
That does not seem to be a matter of 'practical' but rather a matter of eating preferences.

Honestly our food habits are just out of whack. If you go to any Asian or African country (outside the touristic areas) you'll find how many classical/common dishes taste great without meat. From Chinese noodle soups to Thai curries to Ethiopian bean dishes or Indian anything, you miss neither nutrients nor flavour without meat.

I would argue the vegetarian movement has made a huge impact in reawakening many 'western' recipes which disappeared when near became cheap. From beetroot to Brussels sprouts to pickles to lentil stews and grilled vegetables - lots of things are back on the plate.

All that long said for a short message: yes it can be very practical if we collectively (or individually) want it to be.

> I think consumers need to take more personal responsibility in what kind of practices their wallets are supporting.

Consumers aren't making the choice to treat the animals that way, the business are. And (most likely) without regulation, that will not change. Not enough people/consumers have enough discretionary spending to make a change (I believe). I for one don't even know where I can buy meat from well-treated chickens. Sure I can look it up, but most consumers will need to as well, which will probably not happen. It's about high time we stop putting things on the consumer (see recycling) and make the businesses do better for our ecosystem. I hope not to add too many more regulations, the fewer the better IMHO, but damn, there still needs to be some.
That's the whole point! We don't! We have to actively fight planned obsolescence and other useless ways of inefficient growth. But due to the short term optimization of states, society, people, and businesses, it's what happens nowadays.

It's a meta-optimization problem. Like the problem of figuring out how to spend our "remaining" carbon budget best to minimize suffering both short and long term.
I am not sure that the lens of what you label "evolutionary success" is useful in any way. Would you rather a billion humans in Elysium or a trillion humans in Hades?
They are using (in the example) an order number as a proxy to identify and track the actual user. From the article: "Simply look up the user from the identifier, note the anonymous id, and replace the anonymous id with a real user in the data."

At this point the tracking of the online identifier has certainly passed the threshold into tracking an individual for reasons not directly related to the service.

https://gdpr.eu/article-4-definitions/

"1. ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;"

The order number in this case falls under "an identification number" and "an online identifier" at the very least.

"2. ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;"

What is happening is at the very least processing, recording, storing, dissemination, combination of that data.

You are ignoring the article and attacking the publisher. Indeed, the article itself invites scrutiny.
That sounds like problems upstream of this technique. Are you complaining that it isn't a silver bullet or that it's so powerful that it'll be abused?
It is not needless. It is self serving. It expresses his privilege and power in the explicit environment where they matter most. It amplifies them.
> If you're unable to set a consistent cookie across your user's many sessions (especially for a high retention business like e-commerce), or your javascript conversion events (Google Tag Manager for example) are being blocked, your user's historical behavior will be extremely difficult to stitch together over time.

Yes, that is in fact the point.

Look, I know there are strong financial incentives to build individual user profiles and doing it this way may not violate the letter of the law, but it sure as hell violates the spirit. If we ask a user if they're willing to be tracked and they do everything in their power to tell us no then I'm not sure how comfortable we should be doing it anyway.

Do you have a backing statistic for "the vast majority of developers" or are you speaking purely anecdotally?

Furthermore you're making an assumption that anyone who has code on their github produced it for no compensation, as if that was their sole motivation.

Maybe it was a previous project, maybe they open sourced a side project that at one point made income, or maybe it was something they did as an experiment or for purely personal reasons and compensation had zero relevant bearing.

There was a period in time of my life where I would say I was addicted to games. Looking back, it was 100% a response to trauma. Once I was in a better spot in my life, my gaming scaled way back to something more reasonable. Sometimes now, I will go weeks without playing anything.

My own experience is why I believe a lot of addictions find their roots in trauma. I was trying to escape the real world and found something better in the virtual.
I didn’t mean to imply that they didn’t exist nor that it might not be important to account for them in some contexts. I meant only to convey my own personal experience: that it had never occurred to me that I might need to account for a missing shebang, since providing an interpreter for a script via shebang is all I have ever personally encountered.
Oh no, think of the gamers! Anyone who didn't see this coming is a fool.

> Each experience of Wayfinder is as unique and ephemeral as the natural world itself. The visual assets are assembled procedurally and delivered in real-time. The lines of poetry are created with a mix of artificial intelligence, machine learning and generative processes, providing thousands of possible combinations. As such, Wayfinder is an ever-changing, emergent artwork with infinite possibilities.

The generated haikus seem natural. I guess this might be one of the easiest genre of poetry for a computer to generate, with a well-trained model that can juxtapose matching lines.

This is similar to saying, for instance, that there are no pointers, at the machine level, just integers. (In fact, there are just bits and, maybe, bytes, for that matter.) But it is the usage semantics that matters. (Typically, CPU architectures are designed with it in mind.) An instruction that saves the the next instruction's address somewhere before performing the jump cannot be thought of as simply combining two arbitrary operations into one...
The title is improperly editorialized. Chevron, of course, does not have the power to imprison people. Quoting the article, "In 2011, Chevron filed a RICO suit against Donziger in New York City. The case was heard by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who determined that the ruling of the Ecuadorian courts could not be enforced in the US because it was procured by fraud, bribery, and racketeering activities. Donziger was disbarred from practicing law in New York in July 2018. Donziger has been under house arrest since August 2019 awaiting trial on charges of criminal contempt of court, which arose during his appeal against Kaplan’s RICO decision."
I've been using Garnet with my k8s setup. They don't have native kube api integration and I suggest developing a controller. But right now you can use the CLI to append any commands or scripts in your docker containers to supply them env variables at build or run time.

E.g. in a Dockerfile
…
RUN garnet run --service-key=$GARNET_SERVICE_KEY -- npm start

If this container is running on k8s, you can supply $GARNET_SERVICE_KEY as a k8s secret mounted on the pod
This was interesting, and certainly a good description of the problem.

Their solution is product placement in stock photos- I can see the appeal here, but to some extent, doesn't it just push the problem down a level? Unsplash are targeting "creators" with their branded content, who for the most part are only making their "content" to get views and by extension push regular shitty online advertising. So I dont see how this breaks the loop that has made online advertising a cesspool. Now we'll just have blogs using stock pictures with a Windows computer or whatever in them, that still have all the annoying popovers and other ad accessories.
I've found re2c + lemon to be a pretty good combination.

re2c has good unicode support -- takes a while to compile if attempting TR31 "Unicode Identifier And Pattern Syntax" though.

Haven't used lemon on anything too complicated, I basically just play with grammars for fun, but it works really well for my MiniScheme fork I like to poke at every once in a while.

My new shiny is Coco/R which is a dream to use (once you get up the learning curve) but hasn't really been maintained for ages.
We try, for ourselves and with our children, to make a distinction between "I'm sorry" and "please forgive me" -- saying "I'm sorry" is an expression that you wish that something hadn't happened, or had happened differently. It's not (or at least it shouldn't be) an admission of a moral failing.

Asking for forgiveness, on the other hand, is admitting that what I did was wrong. That's not necessarily the same thing that I'm sorry about -- as an example, "I'm sorry that ball hit you on the head, please would you forgive me for not being careful enough?". This separates my actions from their consequences in a way that acknowledges their affect on other people.

And I'm quite glad that in most situations I find myself, someone being willing to admit when they are wrong is considered a positive. It builds trust, and shouldn't result in losing face.

I mean at the end of the day whether you store it in the cookie or the URL it’s still persistent key value storage for tracking purposes, so I don’t see why the EU’s stance would be any different. It’s effectively still a cookie.

Some activities and cookies are allowed by GDPR without requesting consent, and anonymous analytics (even google analytics) is included in this, so you don’t actually even need a cookie banner to do what you’re trying to do here...

I think from a legal standpoint this is no better than cookies, it doesn’t change whether you need consent or not.

Yeah, this advice looks targeted to companies that benefit hugely from targeting their users.

If I'm reading correctly it's basically saying 'once a user has identified themselves to you, then you can go back and figure out the steps they took before that'

As a person, if a company knows what I did right before I bought their product (say in that session) I think I'm ok with that. If they follow me onto other websites or other devices then that feels a lot more invasive.
While we're being honest, there's a small segment that sells because they think it cool.

That whole gangster rap testosterone street $900 shoe guy.

In college, I moved into a very cheap apartment. I had no idea, it was the worst part of Oakland. I saw some things that didn't make any sense. Some successful dealers had other opportunities. Most probally didn't. I was so naieve, I didn't know my roommate was selling until my second semester. I just though he had a lot of friends. He finally told me what he did one night over a video game.

Where is he now? He's in a midwest prison over dealing pot. Yes, dealing pot. Why? He heard Potheads pay triple for what Californian's pay. He got his brother to come along. I remember him telling his brother, "you don't want to be a Waiter for life?"

He, and his brother go to Ohio. They set up shop. They weren't violent, and didn't fit the stereotypes of a drug dealers.

Everything was fine until they hired this little rich white kid who thought he was in a NWA alternative reality. He was "slinging" their product in his vernacular.

Will this idiot killed a guy over a small amount of pot.

The cops were more interested in the "kingpin" behind the operation.

Well the kid squealed, and the prosecutor threw the book at my friend. They made him out to be Pablo Chicone. He was anything but a hard nosed killer. He never even owned a gun.
