When you can't fire bad apples, you end up with problems like the police force having violent cops or racist cops that make everyone look bad. Or you have teachers that refuse to go back to work even though there are vaccines available to them.

I think unions make sense in circumstances where a company has a monopoly granted by the government... For example Boeing. Boeing has completed a regulatory capture that makes it nearly impossible to launch competing airline building companies.

Unions do not make sense where they do not have a counterparty to negotiate against... Basically there should be no unions for government employees because politicians generally already are willing to do the will of the workers over that of the best interests of the citizens. Unions also do not make sense in highly competitive spaces where if a company underpays or mistreats its employees, those employees can just switch jobs immediately.

There is a successor/update bill in the works, but it is very much centered around addressing big corporate concerns first and foremost, and paid only minor lip service to citizen concerns last I checked. One step forward and fifty back, as they say.
Its the same insecure fags that make ML programs to identify you and put a box around you that also create the problems and drama. If you think America is toxically racist, go to China where they regularly segregate the black population from shopping/living in apartments and they also go as far as to filter out Black people in Star Wars movies. You live in a shit bubble boy.
> No, because OCD is caused by underlying physical problems with the brain that cause very specific symptoms that interfere greatly with your life.

OCD is merely a label for a cluster of symptoms. It says nothing about the cause. The same can be said for the majority of psychiatric diagnoses afaik.

Look, I'm willing to judge a joke on its on merits but there's some territory that's trickier than others: when the subject is a member of the underclass.

Trans people are literally being legislated today and actively demonized by the right. Do you remember the trans bathroom laws that were all the rage? Do you remember all the attacks by trans people that precipitated them? No, because it's manufactured fear.

You finding pages of individuals speaking out against that and that's terrifying? More manufactured fear.

As to the subject I replied to, Chappelle's jokes, it's addressed here: https://www.indiewire.com/2018/01/dave-chappelle-transgender...

Hooo haw, laugh riot over being tricked to have sex with a tranny! And that Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner, that really grosses me out!? Hee hee hee.

Sorry, but that shit's puerile at best.
I don't think the fine should be absolute but percentage of revenue based. Someone like Disney could easily afford swathes of bogus DMCA takedowns at $1000 a pop. If they were 1% of revenue a pop then they might think more carefully about unethical behaviour like this.
Masks are not yet "trivial" and it's stupid to argue otherwise. You don't need anything other than logic to see why: a great number of people in the US and elsewhere remain unvaccinated. And relying on the honor system to identify them (given the mentality one would expect of much of this group) is patently insane. So it's best, for now, to keep the masks on. This isn't about your freedom and it isn't even really about the direct mortality rate associated with COVID. It's about not flooding hospitals.

You don't need to worry about being canceled. In this case, it's sufficient to apply just a tad of critical thinking.

Hey Stepan,

I've been in a fitness routine for the last two months with intensive personal training and a dietician, but I'm around 25% body fat because of where I started. However I'm very diligent about my calorie tracking and have a set diet already and workout regularly, and this is one of my top priorities right now. I'd love to have a group to join to learn from. I'm probably not going to be able to get a six pack by September given by current body fat %, but I get caliper, circumference, and weight measurements weekly, so I can provide good data and might get close.

My email I signed up with is 11fishem, hope I can join!
I guess in theory. You'd need a bunch of states to cooperate together (so both red & blue), plus Congress has to bless it. Contrary to what the popular vote people seem to believe, the Compact Clause (Article I, Section 10, Clause 3) of the Constitution states that "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State"

Just to be clear - most of the countries you give as your examples aren't MMP systems, they are other proportional representation systems, and the problems you have with it are common to proportional representation systems broadly rather than MMP.

> He didn't publish that in the marketplace of ideas.

If a forum isn't a "market place of ideas" than it's not a forum.

> He sent it to his coworkers, using company resources, on company time.

All of which were not reasons he got fired. And Google actually encourages its employees to do such things, by the way.

And those are all things we have done and is considered normal in most sane workplace. We all posted something not work related to your coworkers on internal forums, including politics.

> Your workplace has never been a free speech bastion.

Which was never the argument in the first place. Nobody is arguing that Google violated the 1st amendment by firing him. But let's not pretend that Google's size doesn't make it a major non-elected influence on our society. We have seen the consequences of that when it came to potential Covid-19 treatments and its origins. The "it's a private company", which hypocritically used by self-described socialists but I digress, doesn't negate the consequences of their actions or their responsibilities.

> Any person may or may not like that but it's been true forever

That's just an appeal to tradition fallacy.

> I'm not sure how it indicates that free speech is now in some sort of novel danger.

I'm the owner of a big corporations and me and my buddies form the largest group of employers in the country, I don't like your stance on free speech and who you support politically. Yeah but!? No, I'm a private company.

"I hate C with a passion." There it is, their problem.
That really doesn't have to be true at all. There are places where women are going to be happy to talk to you, and even share their number with you, if you seem nice. Even in the west -- which is probably the worst for dating, I'll admit -- you can just join clubs or go to house parties or dinner parties, or events, and meet people that way. Most of my girlfriends I met "organically" just by being myself in normal social situations and having a group of friends.
US Air Force announces plan to assassinate molluscs with hypersonic missile
(1) Because sibling comments already pointed out that the journalist is correct about Turing becoming better known among the general US public around that time. (2) It is a lazy "middle brow" reaction to just always blame the journalist and claim that they did not try to understand what they have read -- there is no nuance and no possible answer, it just ends the conversation instead of opening it up and trying to understand why an intelligent and honest person would say what they said (discourse is impossible if you do not start from an assumption of honesty and demand of yourself high standards of proof before assuming laziness or dishonesty). (3) It is dangerous for the fabric of society to just disregard what journalists say altogether instead of trying to understand it in the context of their (usually admitted) biases. (4) Admittedly this last one is just a pet peeve of mine: There is a gigantic difference between journalists and opinion writers and I strongly dislike when journalists are blamed for the intellectual and moral failures of opinion writers.
Hahaha yes. That describes it quite nicely.

You mean, a shadow cast by a building onto a cloud? That seems like the most plausible explanation, but if that's the case, why isn't it a constant feature, why is it only appearing now? Also, it looks more sharply defined than I would expect if that were the case.
I've always believed that semantic web (in the sense of semantic connection technologies) would become a critical technology; just not in the way they said.

The idea of having semantic data alongside of your presentation data (embedding RDF statements in your web pages) is and always was stupid. They are separate concerns, and should live entirely separate from each other. You're not going to have content authors embedding machine-readable knowledge in with the human presentation; who the hell is going to bother with that kind of tedious, annoying work when their audience is humans?

However, data warehouses that can be automatically mined by smart machines for meaning is huge. It's still going to be awhile before our systems are powerful enough and there's data enough to make this worthwhile, but at our rate of data generation I doubt it'll be much longer before we simply NEED these kinds of connecting and semantic technologies in order to handle the ever-growing mountain of data.

I put the relationship type into my data format specifically as a bet on this: https://concise-encoding.org/#relationships

We still don't have any sizeable shared ontologies, but that's to be expected since only researchers are interested in it at this too-early stage. Once the shit hits the fan so-to-speak, we'll see some company or group build a serious reference ontology in record time.
> The story of 300 depicts the Persians in a very negative way lol

For sure. The movie's framing device is a Spartan soldier recounting a glorified version of the Battle of Thermopylae, and building up Leonidas as a heroic figure, as a way to fire up the troops for the next battle against the Persians. That's why I put "bad" in quotes - it's Spartan propaganda.
Is dating really that bad across the entire west coast? Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and San Diego included? As far as your own dating life is concerned, what do you intend to do for yourself given how bad the circumstances are for you?

Tools that are intended to be used in scripts often have fairly quiet default modes.

tar, cp, and many other *nix tools in that general realm tend to only speak up when something goes wrong, at least by default.

That said, I'm on your side and I think quiet mode should be the option with a reasonable human-friendly verbosity being default. Or even better, some form of detection of if it's being run interactively versus in a script.
I find that when I’m returning to reading it helps to start with “page turners” or guilty pleasures (for me, mysteries and thrillers, but whatever you like) as opposed to jumping into something difficult. Once you’re back in the habit you can transition to more challenging work.
Is having a constitution an attack on democracy? It does after all mean that there are times the will of the majority won't be respected.
> there are no legal consequences for false DMCA strikes

On the contrary: filing a false DMCA takedown notice opens you up to perjury.

...even if no-one has been prosecuted yet: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/51541/has-anyone-bee...

Instead what happens is media-companies strong-arm content-hosting companies (YouTube, etc) to let them file informal takedown notices that don't open themselves up to perjury with much weaker protections for innocent people caught up in the collateral damage - what does YouTube etc get from it? I suspect it's something they agreed to do to sweeten their deal to keep Vevo and other brands' content mirrored on YouTube.
If ranked voting happened everywhere at same time, the independents, who outnumber both Democratic and Republican party numbers combined, might become a force onto themselves and change everyone's assumptions on 3rd party candidates. This won't likely happen without national voting reform, but it is an interesting thought experiment.

The whole point of evicting non-paying renters is so you can replace them with paying renters. If you're prevented from doing that, you're losing 100% of the rent every month. That's the "cost of housing" the non-paying renters. It's not incremental, it's literally everything.

Do you know what the source of the lag is? There's a concept of "rounds" in IRV, but if you have access to computers, a "round" should resolve in less than a second, if election data is digitized. Is the lag digitizing the votes in the first place?

The only people bringing up the free speech argument are the people defending Google, not the other way around.

Open discourse can exist as a value too. And Google, one of the most influential entity in the US and the world, has decided that it's not something that should be promoted. Just as LeBron James has the right to defend the genocidal regime of China. But let's not fool ourselves about who's on the right side of history.
This makes it prohibitively expensive for small-time creators.. not a fan. While individuals making good faith claims against actual infringers is a much smaller volume of DMCAs by sheer number, such a requirement would effectively lock them out of the system, doubly so if the scope of the infringement is massive.

A simpler fix imo would be to amend the "perjury" provision of the DMCA and append "or negligence". This clamps down on the most egregious abuses.
Yes but if each house district is FPP 3rd parties generally don't get a look in, people who vote for them get no representation at all, and can produce governments where the party with the most seats got fewer votes than the others.

MMP provides local representation, and proportional representation (at the expense of having larger local seats, or more representatives).

As I recall, deriving it required a solid grasp of special relativity and calculus. I mean, if you want to say that you did that at 16, I won't argue with you. But if you claim all students did that it seems unlikely.

Edit: Oxford University, since you are from the UK and that's reputable within the country, lists General Relativity (and hence E=MC^2's derivation) as a 3rd year course in the Physics program. So that makes it squarely in the junior year.
> The goal in my mind would be to make a very approachable, reasonable, "safe" reform that's both small and yet makes a difference. Senators get scared of big changes unless the entire political party is on board, which is unlikely in this case.

If you're truly serious about pursuing political change, it can help to have some of the actors advocate for some truly radical change, so that the change that you really want starts to seem moderate and reasonable. Call it shifting the Overton window, or the "good cop, bad cop" strategy of politics.

This also sounds like the 80/20 rule and/or procrastination. 80% of the thing takes 20 % of the time, and then a feeling of diminishing returns blocks us from doing the other 80% of the effort.

> the project is neglected thereafter. Even if the person still adores the project and hopes to finish it.

I am also curious why this is labeled ADHD. To me this seems to just be “the human condition”.

I guess from what I’ve read in this thread, using the term “ADHD” seems to allow people the ability to forgive themselves for the very human condition of procrastination and/or “not achieving perfect completion”.

For anyone reading this, you can also choose to forgive yourself for not being perfect without the professional diagnosis. At least I definitely do.
I set the important reminders for 2pm. Something about 2pm is just right. It doesn't always work, but it works often enough that I "hey Siri, remind me to [x] at 2pm on [day]" when it matters. I usually end up doing it earlier because I know 2pm is coming.

From my read through the thread, you're being very nice, but also very dismissive. That's not actually respectful, even if it's not the harsh things you describe. And it's not kind. If you disagree with someone's experience that you feel passionately about defending, you might have better luck defending it by taking a moment to think about what they experienced differently from your own experience, how much you care about that different experience, and how you might incorporate that into future action. Not everything needs public relations, and it can definitely feel uncaring if it's mostly public explainings.
It's just a faceted character.
ë may be represented in two ways:

1. One code point: U+00EB. This is the "precomposed" form.

2. Two code points: U+0065 U+0308, aka e followed by ¨. This is the "decomposed" form, also known as a "combining sequence" since the diaeresis combines with the base character.

If your string type is a sequence of code points, then reversing a decomposed string will tear the combining sequence, and apply the diaeresis to the wrong character. Most string types are affected by this (or worse), Rust included.

The two forms get rendered identically, so you more or less need a hex editor to figure out which form you've got.
I forked your repo and switched it to decomposed (the diff looks like a noop), and now it produces the wrong output:

https://github.com/ridiculousfish/demo-rust-string-issues

Another Rust example using explicit Unicode literals: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

One could reasonably conclude that precomposed forms are just better and easier. But they're considered legacy: we can't encode every possible combining sequence into a code point, so we might as well go the other way and decompose whenever possible. That's what Normalization Form D is about.

> Also, I'm not sure you can say that "Most published research is false". There are many degrees between true and false. In the physical sciences, with which I'm familiar, the papers are demonstrably 'mostly true'. For example, as a bi-product of an experiment last week we observed an Ekman spiral (first published in 1905 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekman_spiral).

I agree it depends on the field. I was thinking of medicine, where there's a well known paper about this[1] that's led to some improvements like pre-registered experiments, although there's some newer ones that show ongoing problems in social sciences[2].
