In theory wouldn't that cover any organism that subsists directly on a non-living energy source (forgot if there's a word for that). Plants with the sun, deep-sea life with thermal vents. If you go full sci-fi, I imagine a human could survive without the expense of another living thing if we could synthesize all the nutrients etc that a human needs.

As to why it matters in a philosophical sense, I'd say it doesn't. Everything's just matter and energy. But it matters to some people so they try to reduce their impact, just like violence matters to most people so most people try to avoid injuring or maiming people, even if it doesn't matter in the end.
In germany, that's an open question as far as I know. The government is a whole different can of worms, so let's stick to private companies.

Companies are bound to the general law of equal treatment (AGG). This law effectively states you cannot treat a person less favorable based on a couple of protected groups - sexual identity, religion, disability, age.

An initial evaluation of our parliament speculates you might be able to claim a condition rendering you unable to be vaccinated as a disability, which would render it protected under the AGG. However, it also states that in the current times, there might be a tradeoff between the fundamental rights of individuals. The right to not be harmed of every other individual on such an event might outweigh an individuals right to be treated equally.

Hence, as long as this is not challenged, a german company could very much deny unvaccinated individuals entry and business, because this decision is not clear. However, it is very much within the right of everyone to sue the company and then courts will decide this tradeoff - at least as long as there is a proven medical condition.

Law firms cannot act for a party they've acted against (and vice-versa) without a waiver from their existing client. It can be costly for a firm if they make that mistake.

They can, however, take on competing companies for a single action if they all agree. It's probably best if the firm didn't have a prior relationship with any of them.

The question is "How many people saw this tweet?"

It should be obvious how twitter the company could provide a good estimate, with their server logs.

It should also be obvious how the twitter userbase has no idea, because that's exactly the problem.

> Most people gain very little utility from Calculus

Because the purpose of high school and basic university mathematics is to make people smarter. Algebra or calculus deal with abstractions and concepts that are hard to master. They are like lifting heavy weights. A course on statistics and finance is easier and hence like lifting light weights.

This has independent of the fact that high school teachers and underpaid, overworked, undertrained, and are forced to teach to the test, and so unable to really teach mathematics as they students deserved
I think you and the parent poster missed the intention behind what I was saying. Not that we should have a nihilistic approach, but that the baseline for these conversations should be to assume suffering is a universal part of life and we should be focussing on how to minimize the amount of direct suffering each of us cause in our day to day life, rather than worrying about which suffers more, plants or animals.

It's not comparable, they're two entirely different forms of life, suffice to say, they both suffer, discussions around how people can directly if not reduce suffering mitigate it.

Telling people to only eat vegetables because suffering animals or it's cool eat meat because suffering plants is an utterly pointless topic of debate.

A more useful topic for debate if we're going to talk about such things would be maybe something like mitigating the suffering on both plants and animals through industrialized agriculture by returning to small scale production of both. Or something like that anyway.

The article as framed just didn't really talk in any useful way about the issue.

Which, if you are serious about ending suffering, a plant or animal grown in a small scale way where it can be looked after properly is going to suffer significantly less, even if it inevitably will die to feed somebody.
"How long do I need to keep money in an account for it to double if it grows at 8% a year" is an algebra problem. I suspect they're more common than you expect, you're just used to it.

Like what exactly? What is Windows missing? They have a way to integrate with Android phones, I can share my Galaxy's screen with PC and use apps that way even. They are working on AR stuff with Hololens and VR. You can do wireless screen sharing, sync your Microsoft Edge tabs, do 3D audio in games.

I was all in the Apple ecosystem the past couple years except for the Watch. And I'm struggling to think of something that's impossible to do with Windows and non-Apple devices besides Airdrop and that didn't even work half the time between my iPhone and Mac mini. Sidecar is a cool feature to have built in, but apps like Duet and Astropad do the same thing...

And I don't think it's a bad thing that MS doesn't Sherlock devs either...
Maybe for low-level, somewhat rare tasks the ideal Git porcelain would be a GUI that just exposes the data model directly.

When I did my post-secondary Eurotrip I purchased the Euro pass and scheduled my train travels to be overnight such that I could wake up in a new city. Leave Sweden to wake up in Berlin, leave Berlin to wake up in Nürnberg, etc.

Made for a great form of travel IMHO. Got to wake up and watch the sunrise over the countrysides was beautiful. Though I do love your point, I’d love to travel the “Wild West” regions via train.

> Anything you do on non-human is fair game to me.

It might be wise to moderate that position by also objecting to people taking pleasure in seeing/causing the suffering of animals. You may not care about the experience of those animals, but you should still care what effect it has on the human who indulges that side of themselves.

Similarly you should also care that humans are not excessively exposed to scenes of "necessary" animal suffering, whether that be abattoir workers or veterinarians. Having psychological counselling mandated and freely available for these professions would be an ethical improvement for the world even if it didn't reduce the amount of animal suffering at all.

I tend to agree. Cory Doctorow has a good essay on how the deck is stacked against people who don't own homes. This doesnt include some of the health effects of loneliness and other issues when people can't live close to their friends/loved ones.

The newer introduction from Richard J. Evans ia interesting tho. These were not entirely ordinary men as in representing ordinary Germans.

They were righ-wing supporters and their political convictions made them ok with those orders. They perceived Reich as free long after everyone else was persecuted, after synagoges were burned etc.
its still the exposure that's relevant. simple exposure can alter search queries later, or give people a referential source to look back to, even if rote memorization or even critical thinking was completely neglected.

a student going through this class will make fun of it with their peers, but then be completely shocked at how useless and poor the decision making is from people outside their school.
We have class actions, where hundreds or thousands of people can join together and sue a company- the claims for each consumer might be small, but put together they can add up to a substantial value.

We could do with the inverse, too. One person could sue for small-ish claims hundreds of harassers. You called me a rapist on social media together with a mob of idiots? Good, that's libel for you and for the other thousand who did. It's going to cost you 10 grands and a reprimand- not enough for a single court case maybe, but put them together and they can be worth it :)
Thanks for sharing, I'm in the same boat. I love the logical consistency of Jainism, as I've always found vegans drawing the line at animals but not plants to be a bit arbitrary. Setting the goal as avoiding harming all life and then getting as close to that as you can without just starving to death is something I deeply admire. Not to mention the attention to microscopic life is particularly impressive and science-aware imo.
Can confirm! We got a patent troll lawsuit a few years ago as well, and were connected with a great pro-bono lawyer through EFF.
I'm still not sold on the idea of having something bound by OIDC identities with Google/RedHat as stakeholders. Looking at the general conversation about FOSS developer identity that has been happening on OpenSSF, what are the actual chances of people with anonymous identities to be allowed commits on the tree in the future?
I think that argument is dubious and the money would only affect a very small subset of athletes. It would even be a small subset of football/basketball players. You would want to set up professional feeder leagues and give kids the option of going pro or going to school. Honestly a proper developmental league would go a long way to fix/alleviate many of the problems with college athletics.

This is how baseball works, and all the baseball players I met actively wanted to be in college. Some of them even turned down $100k-$500k draft signing bonuses to play college ball.
People take sports seriously in other countries as well. I took sports seriously. I just didn’t have an expectation of professional facilities for a social sports team in spare time at uni.
There's no detectable difference between manufactured and organic "canceling" because the major component in both cases is a horde of people who are just looking for a hate bandwagon to hop on.

Likewise if you are publishing to Vice or some other moderately popular publication, you're directly motivated to stir up drama both for clickbait and as a form of a personal power trip against those you don't like for whatever reason.

The main issue is that our internet culture is extremely primitive. We're basically animals online, most of us. And it's very easy to spur a stampede and destroy someone, whether intentionally or not.
> Isn’t it interesting that a statement of an obvious fact (that black lives matter) has caused so much controversy?

No more interesting than the fact that statement of another obvious fact (that all lives matter) has caused just as much controversy. At the end of the day these two statements are just dog whistles for what allegiance you hold and the actual meaning of the sentence doesn't matter much.
Just because someone doesn’t go to college at 18 doesn’t mean they’re “skipping” higher education. Spending a few years making 30k a year to play basketball would be awesome - my father had teammates in college who put off grad/med school to go play in a shitty European leagues or random minor leagues around North America, it never sounded like they regretted it.

If they followed Hockey’s example, where playing a year in the MJ gives you a year of tuition, it could work out great for young players.

"you will notice that the vast majority of animals are eaten alive by their predators"

Technically the truth, because insects and fish are mostly eaten alive. But mammal predators generally kill their prey before they start eating it.
On the other hand, Microsoft did a fairly decent job capturing cloud revenue with o365 and Azure. Apple is leaving most of that on the table.

Apple has cloud services, but they are, for the most part, intended to help sell more iPhones. Can't argue with the Apple's approach since it works well revenue wise though.

I'm sorry, I reject the idea that there's a set of brutal conditions that would have led me to rape, and murder even children in cold blood like the Trawniki did.

The scale and horror that Nazism and their willing lackeys inflicted upon the (modern) world is terrifying. No, under no set of conditions I would have behaved like the Trawniki. You say that every army raped, and this is true, but

> You are bringing it up and it is horrible, but it was not unique to these units at all.

I'm sorry, but again read what the Trawniki did and tell me it's of the same order of magnitude than what other armies "regularly" did. You can't, because it's not. Nazism enabled them, and these men, out of their own free will, went above and beyond the "call of duty", embraced it and rejoiced in this monstrous behavior. In many cases they weren't frontline units -- so their savagery upon civilians cannot be excused by saying "they were numbed and desperate by combat, and their prisoners suffered because of it" -- they conducted reprisals on civilians and served as guards in extermination camps, and were a key part of the Holocaust. They were reasonably well fed and clothed, and they chose to murder women and children. What's their excuse then?

I've read a lot about history, and know of men and women that perished because they refused to behave like savages, to know this is not the only possible course of action.

The Trawniki were really scum and there's no excuse for what they did.
Can you name a few examples? From what I've seen I can now run a Linux within my Windows, that solves my long-standing gaming vs developing problem.

Public apologies are the new porn and bullying people into providing them is a real addiction for some.

These depressed people use "consequences" as a brief hit of superiority, allowing them to escape the reality of their own failed lives.

...and as quickly as it picks them up, it is gone again, and they then need to search for that next dose of "justice".

Complexity, self-reflection, nuance, are all distractions from what is an emotional addiction.

And like any addiction, you cannot satiate it by giving it more of what it craves. Apologies attract more of them, and they go back to hit the apologizer for more "consequences", like trying to get the last little hit, even if they can see there's nothing left.

Don't engage these people. They are worthless.
"versus pocketing the profit and calling it efficiency."

You mean vs allowing those people to spend their time on something that might instead be more productive for society?

If that person is going to spend an hour doing something, is that truly the greatest contribution they can make? Maybe it is! Then again, maybe not.
For tax brackets, I like the bucket of ping pong balls analogy. After filling up each bucket you color a percentage of the balls green (done on the whiteboard of course), which represents the government's cut. When a bucket gets full, balls overflow into the next bucket. And monthly paycheck deductions are based on 1/12'th of the green balls in each bucket.

This then explains why when you get a bonus it is taxed at 22% as those balls go in the last bucket with room in it (or 24%..., whatever the highest marginal tax rate someone is in).
Reduction is a form of prevention. For an unknown quantity of the vaccinated, transmission appears to be prevented. The unknown quantity is important but we are learning more every day.
For hiring, certification isn’t very important IMO. For consultants, it’s critical, especially if you buy consultants through procurement processes, because it helps filter out the shitty companies that will train new folks on your dime.

Don't know if that will catch (but apparently, there's a music video from some TV show's contestant that title "treat people with kindness", so we would have an opening song for rallies.)

We would treat "being nice" as a radical way to resist the companies that are, albeit unintentionnaly, making money out of people yelling at each others )

Naaaah , I'll just reshare some cat meme instead.
I work with a mobile desk in front of a couch so that when work is done I can either move it aside or switch my monitor input to my personal laptop which really helps compartmentalize work. Once the work laptop is off I have reclaimed the space.

Having said that I feel lucky that I've been able to move to a new apartment recently. Now my partner and I have an extra room to dedicate to being a work space and we're no longer taking up the living room to that end. This is a huge QoL improvement.

I think self-care becomes much more important when one has a limited indoor space that is seeing mixed use. Even just making making sure one takes 1 or 2 walks a day is a huge improvement in energy, mental clarity, motivation, positive outlook, etc.
Non-gaming AR tech will have to be extremely good out of the gate to dodge the issues that sank Google Glasses. I suspect it will remain an active research project for as long as it takes, and in the meantime Apple will chart their product roadmap along a sequence of technologies that they can be confident of having ready on 1-5 year timescales.
> Honestly- I don't think 99% of students will care. And those that do are largely the type that will not need this class (well off, or already would be doing this research, for example).

we subject students to learning about stuff few of them care about. what's the argument for keeping all of that material, but rejecting this?

> Without "hooks" like actually paying rent, electric, etc. it feels so abstract that nothing sticks well.

what are the hooks for getting other high school material to stick?

Ah ok. I feel pretty sure that there are other improvements to be made! But most likely any significant ones would come from somebody starting a new forum with a different set of initial conditions.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the problems with signing every commit. To be honest, I'm surprised it didn't make the initial level 1 -> 4 list since git gets you a lot of the way there.

In my own employers threat model that ranked pretty highly and I wrote about our own experiences here: https://eos.arista.com/commit-signing-with-git-at-enterprise... . With perspective I would say that the biggest thing I would add onto this is support for RFC 3161 style signed timestamps to the commit, but otherwise this solves a major issue.
I have no idea who this phone is meant to appeal to.
The professor who tweeted that is from my own Alma Mater, which to be fair, is not exactly a bastion of cultural "wokeness" compared to other schools. That's a good thing in my book, but things that fly at NC State may not fly at UC Berkeley or even UNC. I have no idea how European sensitivities compare either, though I had thought that you all were less sensitive than most.

Still, I'm a woman and I see absolutely nothing wrong with using that meme in that context. The teacher who shared that meme, who is also a woman, also saw nothing wrong. The student who created the meme, who is also a woman, also saw nothing wrong.

It's an amusing and memorable way to teach a concept, which is great.

I wonder if the "women's representative" on the hiring committee just felt like she had to find something to say to justify her presence there.

Did you give a source citation on that meme? It's not guaranteed, but I do wonder if you would have been left alone if it had been readily apparent that this meme was created and shared by women scholars.
