His net worth peaked at $100M right before the 2008 financial crisis, which apparently decimated his investments.

If you spend a lot of money without paying your taxes, you still owe those taxes, which means you have significantly less money than you think you do. So when his aforementioned wealth peaked at $100M, the real value (i.e. minus taxes) was probably much lower.

Yes, you have correctly identified the prerequisite societal change that must be made before passing gun control legislation that would infringe this hypothetical person's access to firearms.

It is frustrating to frequently see white suburbanites with a savior complex rallying for gun control while never addressing the reasons why gun ownership rates are higher in underserved and rural communities: because the police do not adequately protect these populations. That political energy would be much better spent on fixing the root of the problem rather than they symptom of it.
The term "TERF" is exclusively used by people who attack and criticise "TERFs". It's never said without hostility, and it's often accompanied by explicit calls for violence (try searching Twitter for "kill TERFs" and "punch TERFs".)

So yes, it certainly is an offensive slur - those who use it invariably mean it an offensive way.

OAuth is far from standard in email. Google is the only company I know of that uses it for email.

Per-application passwords are static passwords you generate for special applications. This way, the standard IMAP/SMTP logins will work, but a leaked password does not expose your entire Google account, only the email part. It also allows revocation of one application without re-entering your password on every device.

It works flawlessly for many services, and Google supports/supported it as well. Using it just flags/flagged your account as "insecure" for some reason. Probably because they want you to use their propietary OAuth flow where they have more control over your software.
There's nothing bad about it rhetorically, academically.

But from a populist perspective, it's really scary. Crime is up across the board 33% in the US due to various factors, populist anger is real and that's just 'regular covid stuff'. On the margins of the bell curve, people do really crazy things. Anti-Asian acts, ranging from a few simple harmful words on the street, to full on assault, have measurably increased this year. So you can see some of the impact of populism right in the numbers. With 600 000 dead Americans and 240 Million guns ... it's pretty scary to think of what might happen.

Geopolitically, it's a 'monster' thing, on the order of 9/11, invasion of a country etc.. Accident or not, if China 'caused' a massive worldwide decline and millions of deaths ... it's hard to imagine what the fallout would be.

If there were inexorable, clean, hard evidence ... then I can see 25% of the population demanding blood, i.e. 'war' as within the scope of retribution.

So the 'truth', the 'nuances', 'public communications' and 'goestrategic implictions' all form different aspects to thi answer.

A consequence of HOT in relation to programs is that you can compare programs for equality without running them. I rediscovered this a few years ago. It means that e.g. certain physical simulations could be known to not complete without running them to assumed termination. Currently we are wasting millions of dollars running simulations that we could show will not produce valid results.

HOT is an interesting development. You can fit all existing mathematics within it, in addition to mathematics we have not explored, such as systems where you do not accept the axiom of choice or, more interestingly, disregard it entirely.

It is constructive. This is interesting because it means real numbers "do not exist" as you can not write them down. Specific transcendental constants can be written down because you hold them by their relationship to other numbers.

I had hoped to study it and its application to number theory and computation but it is nearly impossible to get back into school.

Oh man, Lego Island... there's a childhood memory from the 90's.

I remember being super-disappointed as a kid that it wasn't a free-build type game. There was building, but it was rather guided and there was a story.

I wanted something more like Lego Creator but in first-person. Lego never really produced something like that but sometime in the mid-2000's someone cranked out Blockland which scratched that itch and then Minecraft came along and I was addicted to that in the early days before it became a big smash hit and was sold to Microsoft.

Edit: Also the multiplayer aspects of Blockland and Minecraft put anything LEGO ever created to shame... they just couldn't grasp the online/community thing and I'm not sure they wanted to handle the moderation for it either.

This "AR" that you're describing doesn't exist though. Current AR-equipped devices don't have anywhere near the FOV or contrast you can find in a basic HMD.

Also, your second analogy is paradoxical. If AR is capable of doing "everything [the] Oculus Quest can do", why does VR even exist today?

I understand the concept of AR, I just want to talk to someone actually involved in the hardware space about what they're doing to move the market forwards.

> In the decade from 1923 to 1933, the Nazi propaganda magazine Der Stürmer — of which Streicher was the executive publisher — was confiscated or had its editors taken to court no fewer than 36 times.

Streicher and his fellow editors were already active members of the NSDAP (Nazi party) during the 1920s. Streicher and other editors were taken to court, yes, but the assertion that it was for the content of his magazine and not actions like the Hitlerputsch is not something I can find support for in any source.

> Alan Borovoy, general counsel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation, points out that cases were regularly brought against individuals on account of anti‐Semitic speech in the years leading up to Hitler’s takeover of power in 1933.

Antisemitism was alive and well in the Weimar Republic, the claim that people were taken to court for antisemitic speech is another one that I can't find a source for. People were taken to court for violence against Jews, as they were still full German citizens in the Weimar Republic. I looked up the passages of the Weimar Republic constitution around religion and freedom of assembly and there is nothing about hate speech or similar kinds of discrimination. One of the major causes of increasing violence against Jews was Der Stürmer and similar publications, because they could be circulated without impunity.

In fact, I looked up Alan Borovoy's quote, he said:

> During the 15 years before Hitler came to power, there were more than 200 prosecutions based on anti-Semitic speech.

I find this number of 200 interesting, because 200 is roughly the same number as Jewish cemeteries that were desecrated between 1923 and 1933, and makes me suspicious that he's taking court cases about desecration and equating them with hate-speech - which are obviously not the same things.

> In einer regelrechten Schändungswelle wurden zwischen 1923 und 1932 fast 200 Fälle registriert [1]

Sorry it's in German, but it should be easy to translate. In any case, the passages you posted have no substance other than a quote from one guy that from anything I can see seems to be conflating two different things to support his argument.

if someone works 40 hours a week for you, you owe that person a wage that allows a decent life

I agree, humanely. But our entire competitive all-eating-optimizing nature works against this.

Raising min.wages would likely lead to the situation where they have no job at all, because if low-paid jobs were enforced as decently paid by law, companies would simply automate them. They didn’t do that yet, only because it’s cheap to use human labor. Taxi, delivery, cleaning, you name it.

If low skill job workers could get $$$$$$ jobs, they would. But they can’t, for various reasons. This is not fixable at the level we discussing.

Motte and Bailey Definition: “ Motte and bailey (MAB) is a combination of bait-and-switch and equivocation in which someone switches between a "motte" (an easy-to-defend and often common-sense statement, such as "culture shapes our experiences") and a "bailey" (a hard-to-defend and more controversial statement, such as "cultural knowledge is just as valid as scientific knowledge") in order to defend a viewpoint. Someone will argue the easy-to-defend position (motte) temporarily, to ward off critics, while the less-defensible position (bailey) remains the desired belief, yet is never actually defended.”

Nailed it.

If someone required me to chant "Chocolate is god" whenever I enter their home, and my refusal to do so is a punishable / jailable offense, then that is a massive breach of my own rights to control my own speech.

I would probably choose to no longer spend time with those people if they felt they could compell (or more accurately, coerce) me to speak a certain way.

The same applies to identity, given that immediate obvious biological traits are present that can be used to infer a person's identity, and if asked to refer to them as something different, to respect that as long as the request is as respectful as me asking someone to do me a small favor.

Anything beyond that is toxic, purely from an emotional/verbal abuse lens.

Gender is a social construct. Sex is a medical definition. Gender can be fluid and ever changing. Sex is fixed at birth.

This is obvious, but it is at the crux of every debate that is happening surrounding transgender people and so I really think people are struggling with the definitions. Or, more likely, it is all ideological lines in the sand.

Can trans women compete in women’s sports? Well, why do women’s sports exist in the first place? They exist because there are phisological differences between males and females that render competition unfair in most all athletic contests. Each college and pro sports would be dominated by one sex. Most sports would be exclusively male, though gymnastics would likely be female dominated. If gender is fluid anyone could switch between the two at any time.

Will people do this? Probably not.

Will suddenly trans women take over womens’s sports if allowed? No. Almost certainly not, but it does kind of beg the question of why the category exists at all.

People should be able to be themselves and do what they want as long as they aren’t infringing on others rights. And trans people are most certainly included in that. However, some people feel that transwomen are infringing upon women’s rights laws such as title ix. The answer to that lies in the question of are sports divided by gender or sex. If by gender every gender, of which there are many, would have equal claim to the same rights under title ix. This would be an impossible requirement to fill. The intention of the law was always to be divided by sex, not gender, even if historically we, as a society, have used the terms interchangeably.

Prior to reading this I had mixed feelings about John McAfee. But after reading the article it painted his life into a different perspective. And it makes me wonder if I had the life and opportunities he did, if I’d follow a similar path. I’ll never know his true story, but this is how I’d like to remember him.
Not the parent, but I'd still much rather see such a bot for Gitlab or Gitea which are (mostly) open source and provide similar developer conveniences.

I suppose they made this change because Microsoft still hosts the Linux kernel for free on their platform and that's probably the main mirror people clone it from. Still, making proprietary patchwork for such an opinionated open source project seems a little silly to me.
> If China did have a lab that leaked the virus, they _are_ to blame.

I think you’re misunderstanding the bit you are quoting.

Of course China is to blame if they had a lab leak.

The comment is instead making the point that most of those who are blaming China are not doing it motivated from a reasonable belief that there was a lab leak. Rather they are motivated by the opportunity to use China as a political tool to avoid blame for their own failures in dealing with the pandemic.
I’ve consistently been 10-15 years ahead of major changes in tech so I’m confident in my instincts here: the future of computing is wearable or implanted, integrated BCI and AR. Whether that’s 20, 50, or 100 years off I have no idea.
I suspect none that actually exist or have that effect.
Sure, but it does mean that impregnation is not actually a new threat.

Well, the thing is I want to like Hacker News. And usually I do. But whenever issues around marginalized groups come up, out come the people who just can’t understand what all the fuss is about.

When I entered this discussion, the top comment on the article was talking about how trans people freak out when you just bring up the issue of one trans women in sports and try to “have a discussion”.

And it’s just like… I cannot leave that as the top comment and not say something. I mean, I could leave it, but I have to decide which is more upsetting - saying nothing or trying to engage and being shot down. We deserve better than that as the top comment on a thread about us.

Really glad dang stepped in and remoderated some comments.
The scenario you described doesn't sound absurd to me at all.

Even at high-functioning companies, people don't report or fix glaring problems in documentation and training material. There are quite a lot of not-so-high-functioning companies in the world.

They could delete the video content and leave a sanitized version of the metadata. For instance leave the post date and title while removing the description and owner information.

In this context “trans woman with a penis” or “woman with a penis” is fine. You can’t go wrong with scientific language. Pretty much nobody who is trans uses the word “intact,” I would go so far as to say it’s offensive and that you should avoid using it in the future if you don’t want to offend people. I find it offensive, certainly. It’s reminiscent of transphobic people describing trans women who have had vaginoplasties as mutilated.

Not sure why a direct quote from the article is getting so heavily downvoted. Maybe there’s something here, but if the variants were in the published paper, it doesn’t really matter if the raw sequences were yanked off of the SRA.
I had the same feeling. It’s so weird how companies can miss such an obvious thing. The core fantasy of lego is engineering - “you can make anything you can imagine”. Even if you aren’t good at designing things, that’s still the core aspiration.

Minecraft fulfils that fantasy far better than most (all?) of the video games lego has made. I wonder if it’s just that, like banks, software is outside of lego’s core competencies. When it comes to software, their leadership has no taste.

That's not quite what I'm saying. It seems like you are advocating a gender blind policy - one in which no one is every denied treatment or eduction based on their gender. And one in which teachers do not insult girl students and make sure to have examples that would interest them.

However, what happens if this is completely eliminated and there are still discrepancies in grades, degrees, income? Many would say then that the subject matter is tilted towards men or women and needs to be reformed. Those who argue that position are arguing for gender conscious policy. Which is definitely not the same as gender neutral policy (which was the most popular 15 years ago when I was in school - but things seem to be shifting towards more conscious policy)
Isn’t this the problem? China knows there will be consequences if it was “China” who did it? Obviously a major ego bruising.
