the most elegant and fair solution to problems like this is to eliminate all gender distinctions in sports and collapse all leagues, competitions and record categories into a unified human category. let the best human win, regardless of their birth gender, sex preference, or sex organs at moment. yes, there will be certain sports or events that will tend to favor male. but there will be some that favor female. let the chips fall where they may. it will still be limited to humans, regardless. its not like human athletes will have to worry how they will compete in the Olympics in swimming against dolphins or sharks. Humans wont have to compete in sprinting against cheetahs or gazelles. wrestling against gorillas, etc.
In an optional voting society, parties are incentivized to radicalize and enrage their supporters so they bother to go vote.

In Australia everyone knows the two parties and has a rough idea what they support. I doubt there is very much "random name voting" going on which is shown by the consistent voting patterns over the years.

Not to mention the shedloads of “X is all you need” papers which you can ignore, because Bishop’s “Pattern Recognition and ML” book is actually all you need (plus perhaps a good reference on linear algebra).
There's actual downside to this. You now need Mac just to develop the web, otherwise it might break on iOS too.

My latest personal web design works well on Chrome and Firefox, but there were some z-index problem with Safari which I didn't know until someone report it to me. Good thing I have access to Mac, otherwise I wouldn't even know where to start.

Sponsored climbers are quite common. Climbers who would have no chance of winning a competition and are climbing nowhere near the frontier of the sport can become sponsored; it's often about building connections and a name for themselves (perhaps for being really good at one specific move, or doing some first ascents in a remote area).

I think very few climbers have made $1 million in a year from sponsorships. But if I had to guess, I'd say Alex Honnold and Lynn Hill have (and perhaps a handful of a few others). Sure, it's probably not $1mm every year, but I'd be surprised if they're not making that some years. Right now, the climbing "industry" is also going through a massive boom which has led to hundreds of new gear companies, so this might be the most lucrative time ever to be a sponsored rock climber.

And yes, it's not the most expensive sport either, I already acknowledged skiing is likely more expensive. As someone who climbs outside 30-50 times a year I personally would need to spend ~$400/year just to keep up with replacing helmets, harnesses, ropes, slings, shoes, and misc. lost/broken/damaged gear. It's more because I'm adding to my trad rack constantly, but I know lots of climbers who spend roughly this amount every year, none of whom climb competitively or professionally.

And you can get a trad rack for $500 (in the U.S.), but that would just be single cams from .3-3 with carabiners, a nut tool, and a handful of slings and nuts. And you'd still have to buy it used. Add in quickdraws, double cams, more nuts, and other gear (guidebooks, bouldering pads, totems, offsets, hexes, tricams, UFOs, aiders, big bros, portledges, pulleys, ascenders, haul bags), and as a non-professional climber, it can be very easy to spend >$1000/year.

Compare this with a soccer player who plays a couple of pickup games every week. Even if soccer is a much more popular sport for people to play/watch, it's easy to imagine how the same amount of money could be spent on climbing gear collectively.

I respectfully disagree. Hubbard has no business in this competition. It's selfish for her to do this. She is "johnny come lately" to women's weightlifting and has several decades of male puberty under her belt. These photos are actually tragic to look at.

If we're talking about someone who transitions in their teens and has no other options for sport in their adolescence, I would agree that's a much more difficult and ambiguous situation.
I don't think that's "X history more than Y history" a correct way to argue about history :-)

It's definitely a fair to name that Ukrainian history from your perspective. It's a also fair to name that Russian history.

A lot of people could argue that is specifically Cossack history, because Cossacks could be viewed as separate ethnicity with their own history.

Somebody will say that's Russian word is correct, because "Russian" is umbrella term for both velikorossy (Great Russians) and malorossy (Ukrainians) :-)

But it's definitely fair from modern Russian perspective and from modern Ukrainian perspective to claim this history as their own.

If you'd asked me 10 years ago I probably would have said something disrespectful. I didn't know enough about trans-rights or lgbt rights. But over the years I've realised that they probably face a lot of injustice and indeed are marginalised in some societies. I've been working for a company that cares deeply about diversity and inclusion, which has helped me learn a lot. But, I still don't think it's fair for women that an individual who lived the prime of their life as a man, benefitting from all the testosterone and muscle mass and then identifying as a woman to beat other women. I think there should be a line. Of course there should be no discrimination against anyone for their race/gender/beliefs etc. But there is a reason why weight categories and gender exist in boxing and martial arts. It's just absurd that we've to even discuss this.

Not necessarily true that MLPs are very compute expensive. It is maximum a couple of layers and if your input is sparse (categorical) you can gain even more. For some problems it can be the fastest and decent non linear model from my experience.

Why sell for $10 what can be sold for $40.

That's somewhat beside the point that requiring additional cables and dongles isn't as nice of a user experience compared to a system which doesn't need that. It means the design is useful to fewer people, and arguably a less useful design overall. -- Maybe not an issue for Zip drives; probably more of an issue for the SD Card.
> France: REM + LR = 71.8% (79.9% w/ MoDem, 85.4% w/ UAI, 90.8% w/SOC)

As i explained in great detail elsewhere here, you can't use that out of context. French legislative elections are after presidential ones to send the just elected president a new parliament he(or maybe soon she) can work with. If Macron loses next year, REM will have close to nothing. So, it's more like "president's party gets around a majority". Note that this isn't always the case, and Chirac's second term was with a socialist majority parliament he had to work with.

It's not the political parties. They're as much victims of this as the rest of us [0].

It's social media, optimising for "engagement". The most engaging content is not the normal, run-of-the-mill commentary from normal people with normal opinions. It's the far-out nut-job stuff that makes you mad. So that's what get prioritised in your feed.

I signed off of Twitter and was able to completely ignore it while being publicly abused on it. I've recently uninstalled Facebook and my rage at the culture wars has subsided noticeably. Now it's just Imgur and HN that spark this. I'm working on getting off here too (unsuccessfully).

The vast majority of people (I think, I have no proof) are not zealots for the cause (any cause). But the self-censorship effect of our society-wide Purity Spiral[1] means that we never hear from them. We hear the worst, most deranged, opinions out there first because human psychology isn't suited to this kind of situation.

I think the answer is to stop optimising for engagement, because we can't hack human psychology.

[0] I can't find it now, but there is a blog post out there explaining how politicians are getting hurt by the increasing extremism. The need to be more extreme than your rivals in your gerrymandered district where any sign of "weakness" or ambiguity can be taken advantage of on social media isn't good for politicians either.

Haskell? Expressions have to be evaluated in order to evaluate expressions that depend on them, but otherwise the compiler is free to decide the order of evaluation.

> In this case, it's pretty easy to see that 3 will have to be printed after both 1 and 2, but it's unclear whether 1 or 2 will be printed first. The reason for this is evaluation order: in order to evaluate one + two, we'll need to evaluate both one and two. But there is nothing telling GHC which of those thunks should be evaluated first, and therefore GHC is at full liberty to choose whichever thunk to evaluate first.

> I think there's a problem here.

There is a problem indeed, which is OP's failure to implement exception-safe code.

If someone opts to use exceptions, they have the responsibility of writing their code in a way that complies with scenarios involving throwing exceptions.

Failing to support a scenario by not following the most basic principles is something that's on the person writing the code, not the language.

It would make as much sense to blame java for the problems you create by not initializing objects in some code paths, because your code started to throw null pointer exceptions.
I'm not arguing there is no biological difference – there absolutely is. I am arguing that there are different lines people can draw and that the example given is absurd and reductive of these considerations.

Taktile (YC S20) Is Hiring a Forward Deployed Machine Learning Engineer (F/M/D)
Well established: a woman is an adult human female. Try a dictionary, biology textbook, etc. You might not like it, but you can’t reasonably say that it’s not well established. I hope you agree that a “transgender woman”, or, to use more neutral language, a trans identified man, is not female. That’s the entire issue here.

Reasonable: see the above. Also, implied by the users of the term itself. If a T.W. is a W., why do they say T.W.?
OTOH, with ordinal methods you are forced to distinguish between candidates that you think are equally good. Say if you have three candidates, A, B, and C, where A and B are very similar and you like both, though with a slight preference to A, whereas you dislike C very much. With approval voting you'd approve A and B, with score voting (say the vote is an integer between 1 and 5) you could vote A=5, B=4, C=1 (or A=5, B=5, C=1 if you think A and B are really close). Whereas with an ordinal system you'd vote A-B-C, but you have no way of 'telling the voting math' that the distance between A and B is much shorter than between B and C.

Looking at the results of these simulations described in the article, and similar simulations using 'Bayesian regret', it seems that these issues tend to make cardinal systems better. Also, considering the various gotchas of voting systems, there is the famous Arrow impossibility theorem. However, it applies only to ordinal systems. There is no similar thing for cardinal systems.
The thing is to use the Saudis to keep Iran in check is like using the devil to keep a daemon in check. Iran (as bad it may be) is a much freer society than Saudi Arabia, and support for terrorism can't be an argument either because Saudi Arabia is a primary supporter of Islamic terrorism in the world. Moreover, the demonisation of Iran together with the support for Saudi Arabia has likely strengthened the hardliners in Iran and made the region much less stable.

I would say, it is fun building a PC to be “just so.”

This debate butts up against the limitations of language and it is necessary to take care to define terms. This definition will be more or less useful depending on what you are trying to communicate.

“Sex” could be interpreted to mean a statement about chromosomes, in which case there are more than two variants.

Or it could be interpreted to be a statement about reproductive potential, in which case the “two sexes” model is a better fit, because there’s no intermediate gamete between sperm and egg. Do intersex conditions break this model? Almost always not: the variations of sex development are variations on the male pattern and the female pattern. Are there exceptionally rare individuals that defy categorisation? Surely there are, but the existence of extreme, rare outliers doesn’t invalidate the model.

Which definition is most useful? In the context of women’s rights, it’s clearly the latter. Women suffer discrimination based on their reproductive biology, not based on their chromosomes. It’s also the model that the vast majority of people use as their everyday working definition of sex.

So I think anyone who wants to claim there are more than two sexes must accept the responsibility to qualify their terminology.

That’s not correct, Chirac won the parliament in 2002, the first time the presidential election was for 5 years. The former system (7 years president) allowed more diversity and that’s how he got to work with a left prime minister, 10 years after having been himself the prime minister of a left president.
I don’t think that was the claim… MLP/ANNs are fine except for the difficulties around interpretability. DTs and LR are preferable on that front. Or an SVM if you know a kernel/similarity metric that kills it in your data.

sports has everything to do with sex and nothing
to do with gender

Dividing by sex is a substitute for dividing by the things that really matter: height, weight, strength, bone density, etc. If sports grouped competitors by a combination of those attributes, it would solve a lot of issues, including debate over transgender athletes.
