I've been getting way into disc golf over the last month ever since I went down a namesake youtube rabbit hole in early May. Bought some discs and have been slugging it out at the local course. It seems less consistent than ball golf, the wind has a huge impact on a throw, which I find takes some of the pressure off. It's great fun, and the price barrier is super low. Would definitely recommend anyone to give it a shot.

A am very excited to watch the first round of the PDGA world championship tomorrow.

When I started studying CS in 1990, people told me that "programming" was a dead end: 3rd generation languages wouldn't require programmers and anyone would be able to bend computers to their will without programming. I didn't heed their advice... We're farther from retiring the profession of Software Engineer than we were 30 years ago. But, is that a good thing?
There's definitely been a move towards social media promoters making sports, versus yesteryear's slower moving partnerships of manufacturers, league bodies, and sponsors. "Esports", though it has various early history, has fallen into being predominantly a construct of this kind of hustle; if you can get some bodies in the same in-game space and on a live feed, you can come up with a way to build events out of it, offer prizes and all the rest. Thus even some relatively obscure stuff like speedruns of modded NES games will boast a small scene.

I think of it not as one type of thing overtaking the other, so much as it is something like an unbundling of the traditional sportsfan experience. The individual athletes will have one set of content, the leagues will have another, and you can participate in either with fewer commitments. Sponsors get a smaller but more focused niche market to tap into.

As I said, there are no legal consequences.

I would say the same even if the company were prosecuted and fined a tolerably small amount of money (which could easily be millions for these types of firms).
I wonder about that. From what I've understood while talking to trans people and reading what they wrote (so a small sample that's probably biased), the place in the society associated with their gender (the one they transitionned into) is really important. For example, in my experience, trans women want to be recognized as women and live mostly the same as cis women.

I first encountered this because I was puzzled as to why so many trans people seemed to be renforcing gender roles instead of trying to abolish them. The answer is that gender roles matter a lot to them, and fitting in matters a lot to them too. That's why I think the "third gender" solution would be really unsatisfying for most (or at least a part).

My guess is the slack in the oil supply will be taken up by other industries as the reduced demand from transport will leave large supply dropping the price for them. So I expect various chemical, plastic, pharmaceutical, pesticide, and fertilizer companies will use all of that oil.
Yeah if the stakes are high you will be forced to take action, possibly activate your fight or flight adrenaline response if it’s immediate but mostly the dire consequences and novelty of situations feel akin to having a gun to your head and needing to take action or risk serious harm. Maybe they are evolved mechanisms, citations needed of course. There is hope if you have severe adhd, highly recommend a medical work up with stimulant meds at therapeutic dosages. Don’t feel ashamed if you need help, no one wants to live their life knowing they are being held back by their broken executive functioning region of their brain and missing the opportunity to realize their full potential.

@XorNot I see it more from an economic perspective. Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations popularized the idea of self-interest as being the "invisible hand" that motivates people in society to make economic (and other) decisions.

I think self-interest is just another way to explain pleasure, or what pleases a person. Essentially these are all used interchangeably: Pleasure, Joy, Self-interest.

I wouldn't simplify the concept of preferring long-term vs. short-term self interest as being a restatement of puritan morality. I think there is a fundamental realization to be had that a person can then apply to investing, relationships, health... many areas of life.

( Re self-interest, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_economicus ).
> First - if you want to raise money today in silicon valley - the place is flooded with money.

There's more to it than merely "wanting" to raise money. First, build a product, then market the product, get customers, get revenue, and then start pitching like crazy and hope that you get investment before your own savings or friends and family round money runs out.

If you're aware of a more straightforward or reliable path, I would love to hear about it.
To be fair, I don't think they did. Nothing they wrote precludes polyamory and lots of sex, I think what they say is if you are gonna get sex, better try to be really good at it.

I think bigger problem with their perspective is that it is very egotistic. For example, the pleasure of playing a video-game really well (a long-term goal) is more important than a pleasure of spending an ad hoc evening with a loved one (a short-term one).

I suspect most humans have evolved to not only be happy about reciprocal altruism, but to give unconditionally. Because if you are just happy with reciprocity, then the resulting equilibrium can be cooperation or lack of it, both are possible. If we are (as social creatures) rewarded for both reciprocity and giving unconditionally (or perhaps, seeing reciprocity realized for others), the equilibrium is more cooperative.
It means: "TTP certifies that the user presenting identity X is indeed a user known to me, and is an acceptable user for the purposes that Site asked about: not a bot, not a spammer".

The idea that TTP certifies User against particular requirements of Site, and gives User an identity which User can give to Site. TTP keeps the "real" identity of the user hidden from Site, replacing it with a temporary identity.

TTP does not givel Site anything; User shares the temporary identity with Site. Then Site can check the identity, cryprographically and/or by asking TTP directly.

The identity should also be checked by a challenge-response protocol between Site and User, so that stealing it from User would be pointless. E.g. User keeps the private key and Site receives the public key, and Site asks to encrypt a random string, then tries to decrypt it.
> There are many disadvantages/advantages that various groups face/possess. It is ideological which ones we choose to elevate.

Is basketball a conspiracy against short people? Weightlifting for tall people? Are combat sports full of weight-ist people who won't allow a heavyweight pound a welterweight? Is football the least ideological sport because it allows a greater variety for BMI and height?

Let us not bury the glaringly obvious fact that sex is a category with one of the strongest, if not the strongest, explanatory power for performance across almost the entirety of athletic endeavors in existence.
They are a client kingdom loyal to the US. How have we bent over backwards to cover up for them? The general consensus seems to be that Saudi Arabia was definitely responsible, and very little is being done about that.
Wikipedia lists are not exhaustive sources. Do not treat them as such.

The Peace Information Center was dissolved as a result of a FARA lawsuit. Individuals were eventually found not guilty, but not before 8 years of being banned from travel.

Wikipedia doesn't mention the dissolution of the PIC, which is an example of why you should not treat Wikipedia articles as exhaustive. If they state something, it's likely true, but the converse is incorrect. There is even a warning to this extent somewhere on Wikipedia.
If that thing is real it would be massive. Like the Independence Day mothership massive.

I don't mind Flatpak, I just don't like when it's my only option to install something. I understand that sandboxing can make development marginally easier, but I have yet to see software get released via Flatpak that outright wouldn't be possible without it.

I do not have Flatpak enabled in my package manager, and will likely never enable it. That's not an attack on Flatpak users or the software, I'm just not putting it on my desktop. If we come to a point where people exclusively distribute via sandboxed methods like Snap and Flatpak, I'm going to have to start to get choosy with my applications.
You mean those musicians, who regularly have their music stolen by music labels? I am curious, how you imagine DMCA enforcement by such people.

They send a DMCA notice to a Hollywood studio... then what? Will production committee pull the movie out of cinema? Will they recall blu-ray disks from shops to destroy them?

DMCA offers no way to negotiate compensation or receive payment — "artists, musicians, and photographers" still have to sue to get paid.
> It also doesn't really line up with the fact that we fawn over genetic quirks that let Michael Phelps dominate his sport. If we think that certain sorts of genetic quirks are unfair in women's sport, why do we allow them in men's?

I appreciate that you’ve said this so concisely and clearly. The Olympics are, overwhelmingly, a show of extraordinary human abilities. Singling out transwomen for scrutiny and prejudice amounts to special pleading.
Probably one of the only common language-lawyer pieces of criticism of C++ I fully agree with. I'm a pretty firm believer that a language should be as constrained as possible with the ability to make it explicitly less-constrained.

C++ fails at this pretty spectacularly.

> Instant runoff is super easy to explain and achieves those desiderata, at least to some extent.

Except IRV doesn't. Not only are cardinal systems easier but IRV doesn't achieve the most desired feature that people are looking for: no spoilers (or alternatively put, allowing votes for 3rd parties without "wasting" your vote). In fact IRV increases spoilage while cardinal systems (which is alternatively proposed) decreases[0]. Meaning we're doing the opposite of what we're trying to accomplish.

As for simpler, I'll refer you to this[1]. The short story is just rate candidates. And if you end up ranking, no worries. It's more difficult to mess up.

> it has unit conversion built in, so 3km ÷ 26m will be evaluated to 4.62km/h, and also you can ask for m/s

I’d expect 3km ÷ 26m to evaluate to roughly 115.4 (no unit). I hope it wouldn’t try to be too clever about whether “m” means metres or minutes, because such cleverness invariably goes wrong. Change it to “26min” or “26 minutes” or some such thing, please?
> Nit-picking your other points: there are not really any popular rich-people-only sports any more, except perhaps auto racing.

I can assure you, from personal experience, that rowing, cycling, tennis, and lacrosse are overwhelmingly wealthy sports. You don’t have to pass a credit check to play them, but they are absolutely a class apart (both economically and racially) versus sports like baseball and basketball.
I've been playing since 2007ish, and the highlight of my "career" was playing in a PDGA tournament in Idaho.

Have you considered the effects of androgen insensitivity syndrome? Chromosomes don't always neatly map to physical traits.
Hell. Fine with me.

Flatpak, with all of it's issues, gives me something I did not have before- cross distro packages that work. Maintainers have to do one build for their application and can ship it, and then it works on Fedora, Ubuntu-types, Arch, and others. Ta-da!

Sure, doing package management yourself isn't that hard- but the barriers for the users are higher and it's not as easy to use. You could also get your package into vendor's repositories, but now you have to triage issues from a bunch of distros that might have other issues. It gets messy, vs the solution Flatpak offers.
Yes, was just saying if you really object it's not a big deal legally. Although most people don't as you say. Having elections on Saturdays definitely helps.

If I vote for A,b and c, and only D and E make it to the final round, my vote isnt counted in the final found. Often a voter is asked to rank their top 2 or 3, and many rank only 1.
Even score voting is easier than IRV. You can rank if you want to. But you can better specify preference because you're not ranking with the same preferential distance between candidates and people. We use score all over the place (we could call Hacker News score voting with a small range: -1/0/+1).
I would be interested to know what the conversion rate is like. Given users are literately paid to watch the ads, I'm sure it would be terrible. Worse even than a game were users have to watch an ad to get some in game currency.
It seems materially different to me because he doesn't appeal to any deity or authority as an unquestionable article of faith. Nor does he actually say anything about morality or sin or insist that not obeying these tenants will lead to some eternal torment. Instead what the op argues is that if you accept the postulate that long term gain is better than short term gain then you arrive at a certain set of conclusions about what is "good".

Instead of advocating for Christian moralism, it explains many aspects of Christian moralism using a secular first principal. Of course the religious practices that happen to correspond with long term gains outcompeted the others. The religions which told you to maximize hedonism and minimize work died out.

He takes it a step further. Religion is silent on junk food, sitcoms, video games, and any other modern "vice". The principal of long term vs short term gain can be applied equally well to modern times. The fact that many people independently feel like certain activities are bad habits, without any religious framework or persuasive argument telling them these habits are bad, seems to suggest that short term gain at long term expense is a root cause of the feeling of "vice". In other words, the feeling of "vice" is just a utility function baked into our neural network.

What the OP has written is infinitely more interesting than an arbitrary list of 10 sins with no explanation of why one should obey.
What percentage of the population are Olympians? And what percentage of the population are trans? Being openly trans is more accepted in lots of the world now, but not everywhere. I'm not sure we have enough evidence to say whether or not trans people could have an advantage in some Olympic sports for some genders. Either side of the argument seems plausible to me and it will be incredibly difficult for everyone to agree to one stance when there are so many intangible parts to this argument.

> The fact is sex and gender exists on a continuum, even if 99% of the time it seems binary.

I was with you until this statement. Sex is a millions-of-years-old discrete variable; it depends on whether you could produce the bigger gamete (called egg) or the smaller one (sperm). Gender is a continuous variable with a strongly bimodal distribution.

I've been thinking the same as I read this discussion.

My current best theory is that the software industry is overflowing with money, and it's still more beneficial to try to optimize for output quality and quantity (i.e. hire better software engineers no matter the cost, bring people into the same locality instead of hampering progress by splitting work into different timezones), instead of trying to cut costs to improve profits.

Once the growth finally ends, outsourcing to cheaper places might become a very attractive option.

i don’t think you need to have competed before to have a huge advantage induced by hormones that were normally biologically there. The real question is: where do we draw the line? if a female athlete injects herself with hormones that give her an unfair advantage should this be considered cheating and be grounds for disqualification?
Your snideness is noted, but this is precisely the stoic mindset: athleticism is most virtuously practiced when we only compare current selves to our best possible versions of ourselves.

We can’t change anything about how others are; we can only better ourselves. Telling transwomen that they can’t perform athletic excellence on their own terms is myopic and inconsistent with our own praise for factors outside of our control. Worry less about them, and more about yourself.
> It also doesn't really line up with the fact that we fawn over genetic quirks that let Michael Phelps dominate his sport. If we think that certain sorts of genetic quirks are unfair in women's sport, why do we allow them in men's?

These are not the same thing. Michael Phelps dominated the sport as a whole, males and females. A genetic quirk to be the best of the world vs a genetic quirk to be a big fish in a small pond (with all respect to females powerlifters, but males just have better records) is not the same at all.

I think a better comparison is one made in the article, to steroids. Steroids are just testosterone after all. Imagine someone put steroids in the food of a powerlifter for 20 years (I'm using this metaphor because I don't want to insinuate that the powerlifter did it on purpose). Do you think it would be fair to let them compete? Stopping them from competing is unfair to them, but allowing them is unfair to all other powerlifters.
We shouldn't assume 100% honest strategy in reality. It is an idealistic metric. It's not practical since people aren't 100% informed. Nor should we only consider optimal strategy. We need to consider the max, min, and median to determine robustness and better estimate real world results. Both the max and min for Approval is better than the max and min of IRV (in other words, the range is smaller and the expected result is more representative).
I am specifically thinking of fiat money, based on burrowing and fractional reserve banking. This has addressed many historical problems with fixed money/value supply that Bitcoin would have if it ever caught on.
It’s not a quirk that makes it unfair for them to compete in women’s sports, it’s the fact that they’re not women.

If I’m a 240lb judoka, it would be unfair for me to compete in the 160lb weight class just because I feel thin on the inside.
Idk about why they do it, but I can remember them! I read many many blog posts and if someone happens to ask me about a certain topic and I remember reading an blog post about it, I usually have to google or search my notes for it. Not with flatkill.org and with doesmysiteneedhttps.com

I think the way it works is, you have one network that produces global permutation-invariant (maintained so by training loss) metrics and another that recognizes based on those metrics. The big prior you're putting in is that the order of the points doesn't matter. Relationships between points do matter but only in a permutation-invariant way. I would recommend reading the literature because of course, it's not my idea. :)
No, it's not. But that's a pretty ridiculous hypothetical, very few people who aren't actually transphobic care so much and spend so much time griping about such a miniscule issue.
Cool and normal.
> There are only so many combinations of rankings that are possible.

O(n^2) isn't great though...

The algorithm to count is rough and requires many rounds (since you count, knock out the lowest candidate, recount, and repeat until a >50% favor is achieved by one candidate). Cardinal systems on the other hand just require summing the columns and taking argmax. This is far simpler (in fact we can do most of this in parallel making a far better runtime).
