>I've hardly heard anything over the years about transmen-as-men vs men-as-men. It seems like most of the focus is on transwomen-as-women vs women-as-women. Maybe we're not as vocal? Maybe we care less?

It's really not that hard to understand. It's the same sort of thinking that motivates the slogan "don't punch down". Males aren't threatened by females identifying as men. But females are threatened by males identifying as women for many obvious reasons. For example, with self-id as the only criteria keeping men out of women's prisons, it undermines the protection women have against abuse from men while in forced proximity. A female in a male prison or male changeroom is a novelty, not a threat.
>maintain a solid veneer of simply having an intellectual discussion on a topic of general interest.

That's a good point.

My guess is that practically everyone knows what side they are on as things get more sporty. The rest is just weaving arguments for the fun of it.
>leading to problems with homelessness and tenant impoverishment, ..., paying increasing quantities of their income

I see all of these as problems with zoning. I could also rant about rent control but it has a much smaller effect compared to the prevention of construction and density.
Wow, there's a lot of Airtable in here. My team used GitHub Issues/Projects for a while, but ultimately moved to a custom Airtable solution for project management, release management, etc which gave us the tables, views, filters, groups, you name it. Seems like someone at GitHub got the notice about users wanting that more flexible UI/UX. Good on them!
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why don't we just let forest fires burn? Isn't it a natural part of the ecosystem renewal process?

We'd still want to protect homes and people of course, but it seems like that would be easier if we didn't send fire fighters out to fight the remote fires.
He’s not exactly going to appear credible in court.

This is a wonderfully nuanced thread on the subject from a trans woman in her thirties: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1385411504669790208.html

Edit: I just noticed the original poster already converted this into a longform post, so the "reader app" version isn't really necessary https://liminalwarmth.com/the-hard-thing-about-hard-things-m...
Plus, there's no indication he had any information that the government would need to kill him to keep secret. It was just tax evasion charges and maybe drug dealing.
Just make a repository named "jira" or "support tickets" and move forward, no?
Leaflet - developed to work with PNG image map tiles

Mapbox GL/Maplibre - works with vector tiles which are similar in format to an SVG

I believe this plugin[1] is a hybrid approach which allows Leaflet to load vector tiles on a plain 2D map with no map tilt or rotation

What experiences does AR enable that are otherwise not possible with VR/traditional displays?
I've lived in Redmond, WA for over 20 years, and the heat acclimatization gained from living in Indiana and North Carolina is long gone. I'm going to try to get that 20 mile run in on Saturday as early as I can, but with an overnight low of 70F I'll probably still melt. That heat pump purchased 18 months ago is starting to look like money well-spent, though. Unfortunately, many/most other folks don't have any form of A/C or cooling. Who needs it when you spend most of the summer wishing it would warm up a bit? :-)

I was going to say that I don't recall ever seeing 100F in Seattle, but I guess we did in 2009.
My concern is less about the die boundary and more about vendor boundaries. In an Arm-based SoC with potentially a bunch of different IP all sharing the coherent fabric do you want to bet that all that IP will correctly implement CCA? Probably not.
Although it requires more trust, this also has more functionality than an FHE, in that it allows you to deliberately allow selected information out of the enclave. For example, you can check a signature. With an FHE, the boolean indicating that the signature was valid, can only be revealed to someone with the key of the FHE scheme. FHE is not a fully generic way of using third-party hardware in a trustworthy way.
True but it is also possible that he was assisnated. People get assisnate all the time for political reasons.
That's insane. The residency program is a way for people from unique backgrounds to enter into the software engineering field with less stringent interview requirements. SWE can pay upwards of $500-600k after 5-10 years of experience.

This was an incredible opportunity and it's an absolute shame that internal protests killed it. Yes, you get less pay and a smaller stock refresh, but I know a few people who's careers began with this residency and they'd still be struggling without it.

I don't even know how to describe this. You get less pay but an amazing opportunity, and then you look back and are upset that you weren't given more? Google took a large risk on these candidates with the assumption that they'd fail and eventually have to be let go. But they did it anyway just to create opportunities.
This article is the number one most active post on Culture War (Hacker) News today. I'm not sure what that says about this forum but it's not good.
I always thought the association was directly from "splashing around", as in "you're so drunk that it's like you've been swimming in the stuff."
The scientific community, specifically the community that conducts science on this topic, currently has a distinction on the terms sex and gender. I’d posit the possible consensus position that the term sex refers to physical anatomy whereas gender refers to one’s gender role in interaction with others.

For details on that distinction and attempts at consensus-building for the terminology, see
https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysio...

In software development terms, this topic has no ubiquitous language.

In relation to your comment, their belief is not based in a shared reality.
If you use repellents, the tick keeps climbing and gets behind your ears or in your hair.
It'd be nice to control the interval via a get parameter. Sure one could record and frame-by-frame it, but it'd be pretty easy on their side to have the uri default to something like `/interval/2/`. Maybe they thought of this, maybe it increases surface are...I think it'd be worthwhile for accessibility.
Article is Paywalled but its basically about this twitter thread from Bloom Labs:

https://twitter.com/jbloom_lab/status/1407445604029009923

This technical bit is interesting - although the data had been 'deleted' from the Sequence Read Archive* web app by the original submitter, this tweet explains that they were able to recover the data via storage.googleapis.com:

https://twitter.com/jbloom_lab/status/1407445615248691201

I discovered that even though the files were deleted from archive itself, they could be recovered from the Google Cloud at links like https://storage.googleapis.com/nih-sequence-read-archive/run... (5/n) ...

So technical question for HNers - what lives at storage.googleapis.com usually? Was that like a cloud mirror or was it more like the 'delete' function in the web app was only removing things from the index but leaving the deleted stuff accessible?

* Sequence Read Archive seems to live at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra
Paying taxes is even less painful and he didn’t do that.
I already addressed this. IMO the portability mantra is something I disagree over „C for everyone“. It’s an annoying obstacle, but not exactly fundamental or hard to learn on the job.
Where I grew up in Scotland, sloshed very specifically meant you couldn't pour the booze straight anymore, more than just a bit drunk. However, it's also considered somewhat polite, I thought... more appropriate when speaking of the dead.
John McAfee found dead in prison cell
He was convicted neither of rape nor of murder (though he was apparently found culpable for the murder by a US federal judge in a wrongful death suit). I believe he is guilty of both, as is my right; you might disagree, as is your right.
It's not an entitled rant, other fields just have dismally low standards.
Nowhere in that article does it talk about executive compensation coming solely from stock. Mismatched equity grants are one of the levers, but so is regular salary.

Regardless, the fact is executive pay has been rising while worker pay has been stagnant for decades. That’s not even up for debate, it’s a fact.
I think that letting the fires burn inevitably leads to them becoming out of control, because they are burning nearby where there are people.
Can we please return to some semblance of reality?
> his past statements still need to be taken seriously, and extra care and doubt need to be applied to the reported story.

Why? The fact that he had a paranoid fantasy of being murdered by the US government doesn't make it so. I don't have to take extra care with the ramblings of conspiracy theorists with a long history of outright bullshit.
Uyghurs are less than 0.1% of China's population, but their treatment is (rightfully) a huge issue globally.

Most people just aren't as utilitarian in the way that your comment implies they should be.
I cannot comprehend why GitHub chose to let people define the form elements in YAML (!) instead of simply allowing <input>, <select> and <textarea> in Markdown. One of the most beautiful aspects of Markdown is that it supports HTML. It's trivial to allow only a minimal set of attributes, like `required`.
These studies almost always point to a very limited set of the "wealthiest" for their study. And if you think about it, it's obvious that the very top of the pyramid will mostly have people who were able to concentrate wealth somehow, rather than inheritors. Often, inheritance is split between more than one person. That alone would account for a lot of inherited wealth not meeting an arbitrarily "wealthiest" category. So naturally there's going to be a lot of churn at the top.
I don't think you can separate the concept of education as an "equalizer" from the realities of the supply & demand for educated workers. As more educated workers entered the workplace, the minimum education requirements increased.

As an example, my father, without an college degree, moved up from an entry level labor worker in the early 70's to the VP of operations for the entire company, something nearly impossible today with low-level management positions gated by a degree requirement. Because when most candidates have a degree, finding someone both qualified & with a degree is less of an obstacle. All else being equal, two identical resumes except for the "Bachelors Degree" on one of them, the later is more likely to get an interview and the job. Absolutely this might not always be ideal, the signal of having degree does not always actually predict capabilities, but that was the case when HS education was the minimum standard as well, and so long as companies need a low-pass filter to narrow the pool of candidates, this isn't likely to change. Whether or not it's fair or accurate is somewhat irrelevant.
Did you know him personally to be able to make that judgement. To me it sounds like lying on his taxes destroyed his life, or to be more charitable to him, the government destroyed his life
I agree with you, but I'm pretty sure the age of social media has us in the minority.
I wish the press would stop calling these people "investors". There is no such thing as a dogecoin investor.
> You are willing to go further than I in restricting freedom of expression to defend trans people. You may even be right, but that makes you more authoritarian than me.

Sorry, no. I'm not sure how many "seems" you've inserted since my first reading, but those two sentences are what I characterize as putting assumptions on me. You continue to respond to things I haven't said, so I'll stop trying. Have a nice day.
So it seems like they made a weak algorithm for generating links for unlisted videos meaning you could've brute forced the links to find those which were not shared with you and then they decided to strengthen the algorithm but they are not taking into account that many of those videos were "set and forget" as unlisted so they will be automatically switched to private without uploader knowing it leaving shared unlisted video links dead.

It's good that they updated the rng algorithm for generating unlisted video links but the way of handling old unlisted video links is not good.
They've protected against forest fires for so long that the undergrowth has built up to dangerous levels, so any fire whatsoever ends up being a massive burn that kills everything in the forest.
Speaking of racial ideology, I honestly don't understand how we're supposed to become less racists if we're drawing so much attention to race and putting it left, right and center of any policy discussion?
>his past statements still need to be taken seriously

Like the one where he promised to eat his own penis?
The greatest and most rapid creation of wealth in human history occurred in the US under an even more extreme form of American individualism than exists today. Europe is quite poor relative to America precisely because its anti-individualism prevents the formation of economic-political environments conducive to wealth creation.
A couple of decades ago, I'm guessing that most English teachers/editors would have corrected, Chaucer notwithstanding. But, yes, general style these days does favor "they" as preferred third-person non-determinate singular pronoun because it's better than all the alternatives for various reasons.
I think another point of the article is the masses of silent people are starting become less silent. Their politeness has been mistaken for agreement.

The university should only allow speakers that the students agree with? That’s sort of ridiculous and an abdication of the university’s responsibility to expose their students to challenging and possibly hurtful intellectual thought. I listened to no shortage of intellectuals that criticized white men in western society in many ways for example. And that’s Ok if it’s thoughtful and with a point, however idiotic I might think it is.

The university has the job of determining what this level is. This speaker wasn’t claiming anyone was subhuman. And you don’t have to attend - it’s simple.
It will be interesting to see how he spins this latest disaster under his watch. Especially considering he was already recalled and on the ballot.

It doesn't even have to be a question about whether you like him as a person or not, or support his politics or not. He's just an ineffective leader, simple as that.
You literally answered it yourself: you find the suicide more believable today. If you find it more believable today, and their motivation is obscuring the murder, this is the perfect timing actually.
> n.b.: This is an opinion piece, not a news piece.

An opinion piece by a professor of medicine and a professor of epidemiology, which makes extensive reference to real world data.

For whatever reason the CDC and FDA have been far more forthcoming about risks associated with the J&J vaccine. The mRNA vaccines have not had the same level of scrutiny and transparency despite comparable levels of adverse event reporting.
> We expect men to pay for dates. We expect men to be the primary breadwinner in a marriage. Marriage is the only contract that can be annulled if it's not consummated with an act of sex.

I know nobody outside of 19th century books and Americans online argue these points. I'm not trying to be facetious: do people currently alive actually think these things?
(from hasura)

With Hasura, if you need want some server-side logic to be written away as an API, you could try 2 approaches:

1. Write a REST/GraphQL API in your favourite framework and bring them in as Actions/Remote-Schemas in Hasura. Hasura will add them to the GraphQL API.
2. If you like, and if its possible, you can also abstract away logic in database functions and then Hasura will expose them.
Just set up whatever is equivalent to karabiner elements on PC/Linux and be on your way.
> If making it available is such a no brainer, why did they sell the building?

Rent is incidental to the real profit that you make from owning a building - asset value appreciation. Often developers do cut out the middleman. It's also sometimes a simple matter of where your credit is coming from and what interest you're paying - obviously, high interest rates push you towards a quick sale, etc.

I honestly don't think it should be controversial that rent is a form of rent, that is, a type of income that derives from simple ownership of something, not from any service or product. But you know, here we are.
Duh, the poor have to spend money to live, they can't just buy stock and wait for it to increase in value. And at the volumes they can afford the transaction fees would kill any profit.
A year ago with work-from-home, my father who's near retirement began using LinuxMint on an old laptop for his work, and other than initial unfamiliarity with a few programs, no problems. He's not at all a geek, nor very adept at computers, so I'm so glad he's using an OS that just works for his straightforward web and word-processing needs.
> That wouldn't even make sense if freedom of speech weren't a general concept.

Free speech as a general concept is irrelevant in the eyes of law unless you have some specific law governing the specific scenarios. (Employees being punished for how they voted in general election.)

Free speech could be a virtue but it is a virtue like "not lying". It is perfectly legal to lie in many circumstances.
Court costs trolls too. They don't want things in court. They want you to settle.
"Dr. Goldstein noted that the testing paper listed the individual mutations the Wuhan researchers found in their tests. Although the full sequences are no longer in the archive, the key information has been public for over a year, he said."
I can't really speak to the psychology of rapists in prisons, but I imagine there are a good number of people that, if they're gonna rape someone with a penis anyway, it is more enjoyable to rape the person that is presenting as a woman.

Also because rape in prison is very much about power, and exerting power over people you dislike for one reason or another (in this case trans people because they are trans) especially.
>He's never been in a position to get any governmental secrets and, AFAIK,

Part of his career was at Booz Allen Hamilton, though not for too long. Also he was in a position where corporate or personal secrets may have been accessible, which could also explain why an extradition would lead to action.
Well, sure. If you ask people whether they consider Black and Asian men equally as sex partners, the numbers would also fall through the floor. This doesn't mean Black or Asian men are less of men, or even that they're necessarily against either of those groups, it just means people have preferences in what their partners' bodies are like. My point is just that "trans women are women and trans men are men" is actually a common opinion, contrary to the claim in the comment I was replying to.

The smoke itself covers large areas of the state and is a serious health hazard.
I made no such assumption. When I moved to USA from India I would have happily moved in as Janiter. Life in USA as a janiter is way way better than a middle class person in India.
I've actually been experimenting with something similar to what adrianpike describes. Basecamp is home to all higher level product/business stuff. In part, that's because everyone in the business has access to Basecamp and uses it on a daily basis.

Concrete development work gets put into GitHub Issues. Most people on the business side don't have access to GitHub and wouldn't be comfortable with it. Smaller stuff may not get a GitHub Issue. It may just live in Basecamp. Technical stuff that the business will never care to see may only live in GitHub.

It's a new process I'm experimenting with. We'll see if it ends up being too disjointed.
I just tried to find some more information on Scotlands consumption but couldn't find it. Most interesting piece I found was this:

51.7% of electricity generated in Scotland was generated by renewable technologies, compared to just 29.3% for the UK as a whole (or 25.6% for the rest of the UK, excluding Scotland). [1]

The 97% figure quoted earlier is a gross figure [2] that is worked out on the basis of total renewable generation compared to total consumption. The problem is that the two don't always line up and we don't have large scale gird storage to handle it so it doesn't get used. Instead more polluting electricity is imported from England.

Not a dumb question at all. Not a domain expert but an enthusiast so I'll take a crack at an answer:

Maximal fire suppression strategies have been the most prevalent approach to avoiding property damage and loss of life caused by forest fires for most of the past century, despite the known harm to ecological systems that rely on periodic burning, because nature is difficult to control/predict and prescribed burns (an alternative or supplemental approach) are time and labor intensive.
So well an overwhelming majority voted to replace their pro-capitalist constitution.
They were supposedly storing artifacts publicly available on GCP's object store, an efficient way to do things for distribution of non-secure large pieces of data.

"delete" deleted the reference to these objects but the objects were kept around. (This is a not-so-bad practice, if you're hacked and somebody tries to wipe everything, or some bug or fat finger deletes everything, you've deleted references to data not actual data)
> what's the next act?

Very hard question to answer for those who got rich early, , lived fast, but now are out of the game and direction-less.

A lot of pro athletes suffer depression after retirement because of the absence of the daily routine. You have a lifetime of empty hours left to fill. Some are fortunate and have a network of friends and family to provide companionship and support. Others don't and try to fill the void with sex and drugs. But that just conceals the fundamental emptiness. It's still there, and will reveal itself the second you come down.
Most likely the latter: the server-side code in charge of deleting data did not make a call to their storage api to also remove the object itself. There's a good chance that is intentional and serves as a soft-deletion function, such that it could be reverted (or the data otherwise used) if needed.
>with the assumption that they'd fail and eventually have to be let go.

This seems at odds with the article:

>Nearly all residents converted to regular employees, according to the presentation
I bet they aren't too worried.

This seems like a product area where hitting all the features on a purchasing manager's feature list is more important than being good. Atlassian seems optimized for that.
I forget the context but didn’t Trump talk about this a while ago? Hi
Deepr looks promising https://github.com/deeprjs/deepr you'd have to combine it with fauna for auth/RBAC etc

the parallel "||" calls (push or pull) are great and the power to switch off a call you send with ? after the function name means all your calls during dev can be in a single text page and you just switch them on/off at will.
