In France, there is a national gender equality rule (enacted in 2013) that states that no more than 60% of new appointments to management positions in public service should go to one sex.

Though bringing more female representation and thereby creating gender parity in employment served as the impetus, this rule was broken in Paris in 2018 when 69% of jobs went to women under the mayor's (Anne Hidalgo) purview. This led to a fine of €90,000 against the Paris government.

Both the mayor and deputy mayor (Audrey Pulvar) publicly expressed happiness, pride, and a sense of honor at having been fined for breaking the rule. In 2019, the fine was subsequently dropped.

So here we have an interesting example of aiming for equality of outcome. What makes it interesting is that when the results led to inequality in favor of one particular side, it was actually championed and seen as progress.

How can people still believe that this would work (without a protectionism <-> productivity decline vicious cycle)?
Navigation could be client or architect driven; I don't know about MIT, but I've been in Facebook's MPK 20 and 21 designed by Gehry, and they're also hard to navigate, but that's true of most of Facebook's buildings, and Gehry clearly adopted the client's style of ignoring the navigational needs of a building's users. Simple things like walking paths that are visually and texturally distinct from the sea of desks are super useful, but missing. Again, it's hard to know if the architect suggested these things and then followed direction from the client to ignore them, but design is a collaboration and there's plenty of blame to go around.

At least for Stata/CSAIL, the “irregular connectivity” was a celebrated aspect of the design from its inception and approval.

Stata was meant to be the spiritual successor to the old, decrepit (though illustrious) Building 20, which had a long history of ad hoc collaboration, often driven by the constraints of the physical space (i.e. the wall between your office and the next has a hole in it where some piece of equipment was routed in 1957).

During the Stata hype phase, there was a lot of talk at MIT that the idiosyncratic structure would encourage the same kinds of collaboration through random-walk encounters.
Why does it matter whether any of us care whether they fail? That's not the point of YC.

ACLU Pandemic Preparedness Plan 2008:

> Unfortunately, many policymakers today believe that protecting public health requires suppressing individual rights. President Bush’s first suggestion to contain a bird flu pandemic was to call in the military to quarantine large sections of the United States. The notion that we must “trade liberty for security” is both false and dangerous. It is false because coercive actions are seldom conducive to public health protection. It is dangerous because it provides a never-ending justification for the suppression of civil liberties while failing to safeguard public health

I think you're overthinking it, those states have been fighting to prevent abortion and restrict voting rights long before the current housing problems you're seeing in blue states. This is mostly just a continuation of that.
Yeah, you're allowed to bring water to people waiting on line to vote in Massachusetts, "Bostonian".
Yes, of course they do, but everybody must be educated in the national language. There aren’t really many monolingual speakers of Aragonese walking around. Consequently it’s less important than Castilian Spanish and probably many people have a worse command of it than their grandparents did. Catalan is unusually strong in this sense but still something like half of Catalonians consider themselves native speakers of only Spanish. And in the relatively recent past measures like punishing students for speaking minority languages in school were commonplace.

You might even make an analogy between Catalan and Cantonese, in the sense that it’s mostly historical circumstance that makes Cantonese have such a privileged position compared to most other Sinitic languages. Wu and Min languages each have almost as many speakers as Yue languages but you wouldn’t know it by English-language coverage of the topic.
Reinvented wind turbine generates five times more energy than its competitors
Yeah I don’t think it’s quite good enough. In the 19th century we could have let railroads play favorites, because after all it was still possible to transport goods by canal or by wagon, but it was much better for the growth of the US for everyone to have a fair shot at the best form of freight transit available.

Sure it’s possible to get your own fiber connection, manage your own hardware and host a web company, but you’re never going to be able to compete with another party who has access to AWS or GCP to run on top of.
Abortion is really a very simple issue, those who say it is about "regulating women" attack a straw man. Pro-lifers believe that abortion is murder of the baby. This trumps a woman's right for a medical procedure. So the question about whether it's a private medical choice or an issue of bodily autonomy doesn't even enter into the discussion. There are laws against murdering someone other ways that restrict bodily autonomy, but we aren't bothered by those; as the saying goes, your rights stop where your fist hits my nose.

On the voting law I think it's reasonable in most places. Poll-watching isn't a problem, and ID requirements aren't a big issue. I disagree with the law in that people should be able to distribute mail-in ballots since the new ID requirements make them more resistant to fraud. Not sure what you mean about removing electoral rights. I am, however, bothered by the fact that it (and most other voting laws) are driven by "stolen election" lies, which is almost worse than people trying to hang onto power (which they've done with re-districting/gerrymandering for a long time already).
They were commenting about their personal feelings, as am I. Neither of us have stated we think YC will do badly because of it.

On the other hand, while I don't think it's bad enough for YC to suffer massively, they have presumably been helped in the past by having a strong following of techy people who just like YC and who assume that a startup funded by them is likely to be interesting. Will they lose that reputation, and if so will it matter to how successful they are? I've no idea, but it's not impossible.
America is a huge country and we've been discovering over the last decade that we are a lot more divided than we realized. It's like combining France, Germany, England, Spain and Italy into one country and expecting them to agree on everything. Luckily in America we can just move to a state where reasonable people run things.
Expect the compiler should import whatever module you are using and analyze that module's code just like in any compiled language.

Even in the example you gave it could replace the loop with a bunch of print calls since the result (yields) do nothing.

Compilers are hard.

Their goal is not equality of opportunity, it is equality of outcome. They’ll willingly sacrifice anyone in the top 50% to elevate the lowest of the low, no matter how little they try or deserve it.

This is broadly true in all leftist policy, from higher education to taxation to the way we structure kindergarten. Success, achievement, and work ethic are to be admonished. Leftist pseudomorality establishes the victim as the highest achievable social status, rewarding those who take more from society than give to it.
The irritating thing about this is that Atlassian initially sent out an email on August 25th stating it only affected servers where a certain setting was enabled that allowed users to self-register. They then updated the CVE wording to state it affected all instances on the affected versions even with that setting disabled, but didn’t send out a follow up email to customers until yesterday (September 3rd - right before a US holiday weekend!) at around 4pm PDT. Customers who thought they could delay upgrading for a bit and weren’t monitoring the ticket for the CVE directly likely went on with their business for over a week being vulnerable to the exploit.
He's describing an already existing slippery slope to warn against the slippery slope of putting surveillance in the cars themselves.
> Pirate sites offer more content at much higher quality.

True.

> Netflix streams "high definition" shows so thoroughly compressed even black frames have artifacts. My satellite TV streams content with so much compression it gives me motion sickness.

Ok, but that high quality pirate content can’t actually be delivered to a large customer base over low bandwidth links like satellite. It’s a meaningless comparison since they are solving different problems.

> The main difference is piracy doesn't happen out in the open anymore. You need to be invited.

Ah - so it’s objectively worse than simply paying for content because it is only accessible to a small clique. Whereas with commercial services, anyone can just buy what they want.

What you are describing is the exact opposite of making things more freely available.

It’s a small group stealing content for their own exclusive use, and giving nothing back to society.
> The internet was a tiny niche...for a year or two. By 1998 it blew up.

That's more than a year or two into the internet (and even the Web.)
In which case it's very simple: Is a fetus/embryo a baby or not? And what is the logical conclusion of that?
People are literally purchasing it at a feed and supply store with a picture of a horse on it and a label that indicates that it is meant for horse use. Regardless of the active ingredient, that is unusual behavior and rightly garnered attention.
All of these companies, starting with Uber, should immediately terminate accounts of Texas Republican law makers and ban any further service to them.

Interestingly survivorship/success is an unbiased estimator of merit imo. The actual survivorship bias comes from the high variance and only looking at the surviving/successful stories.
Right. Like Apple's on-device scanning and reporting, cars could scan and report bad behaviours. Toyotas already can detect when a driver is drowsy based on their driving and prompts them to take a break. How hard would it be to make it call police when the driving is severely impaired?
What makes docker much more painful?
“The abortion thing” has been a political wedge issue in American politics for generations.

Voting against our own interests because we’ve been whipped up into a frenzy by religious zealots and hardline partisans is very, very American. I don’t know exactly what you mean by “wrong”, but I suppose if you mean “should I have seen this coming?” I’d probably say “Yes. The writing has been on the wall for years.”
I actually use systemd, not systemd-nspawn (it's also in the README), because using both does not always play together.

As far as systemd vs dockerd goes, dockerd provides a bit more isolation by default, but `systemd-analyze security` can guide you so far beyond the Docker defaults. And it is always compatible with system daemons, giving consistent configuration between, say, postgresql from package manager and prometheus from docker container+undocker.
> Their electorate is mostly non-Hispanic white, non-immigrant and older and their numbers will continue to dwindle over time.

This is a dangerous fallacy. As has been widely reported, Trump increased his standing with minorities in 2020 vs 2016. In some heavily Hispanic areas along the Texas border the swing toward Trump in 2020 was over 40 points compared to 2016.
They updated the details of the CVE to state that it affects servers where that setting is disabled, as well. From the source ticket:

> Our Securities Team has since reviewed the wording on the Confluence Security Advisory CVE-2021-26084 - OGNL injection - 2021-08-25 and have removed the ambiguity generated by:
The vulnerable endpoints can be accessed by a non-administrator user or unauthenticated user if ‘Allow people to sign up to create their account’ is enabled. To check whether this is enabled go to.
There are additional endpoints identified that still expose Confluence to the CVE-2021-26084 Confluence Server Webwork OGNL injection and applying the workaround script will assist in temporarily mitigating against all known vulnerable endpoints until the application is upgraded to the fixed version.
The temporary workaround script must be run even if Confluence Administration > User management > User Signup Options > Allow people to sign up to create their account is not enabled.

The baker offered to serve his cakes to gay people, he just didn't want to be compelled to create a cake he didn't like.
It's just a warning; it lets you click through. They have things in the TOS about not sharing sensitive output publicly though. The warning looks like:

> Completion may contain sensitive content

> Consider adjusting your prompt to keep completions appropriate. To turn off content warnings, update your preferences.

They have some details about the content filter here; it seems to be much more sophisticated than just a bad word list:

https://beta.openai.com/docs/engines/content-filter

I also like that they distinguish between "sensitive" (talks about something potentially controversial) and "unsafe" (profanity, hate speech, etc.). This seems a lot more nuanced than what Copilot is doing.
I'd rather be flagged as someone who gives a shit about privacy and autonomy than passively accept the further degradation of those things. If we all treat this as a tragedy-of-the-commons situation and impotently accept whatever these companies do in order not to raise a fuss and draw attention to ourselves, then the future is inevitable and the world will go further down this path than it already has. The presumption of guilt is fucking ridiculous and I won't be a party to it, nor will I run and hide.
Driving is a privilege. Historically, the solution to irresponsible driving is to revoke that privilege.

Why should law abiding drivers be subjected to surveillance caused by the irresponsible crowd? Why is removing one’s driving privileges not enough?

Proactive monitoring/reporting is the stuff of slippery slopes and Minority Report is the direction we’re going at this point…
Seems like it is time for a new job ? You seem like a smart person who does well at their job. Don't get too tied or comfortable with an employer where the thought of leaving makes you nervous since you think it will be hard to find the same level of income elsewhere. Remote jobs are very common these days especially in tech. so just start looking.
Somehow the straightforward answer ("no at first, yes by the end") is anathema to the activists at either end of the spectrum here. But those are the ones you hear from.
That isn't about women's rights. One side argues it is about womens rights, that abortion is merely a medical procedure.

The other side argues that the fetus (usually called "unborn") have independent heartbeats and unique DNA, and as such have their own right to life. That is why they use the term "pro-life".
Moped cars can be 500cc and some models are sold in other countries limited to 80kph.

They remind me of kei cars. They aren’t kei cars. The biggest difference apart from two seats is noise; moped cars in Sweden have a weight limit of 350kg and there is zero sound proofing!
When you agree with it, it's moderation; when you don't, it's censorship.
Nope. "The economy of the State of Texas is the second largest by GDP in the United States after that of California." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Texas

Texas has been growing rapidly in some areas, the thing is though is the political redistricting which means those voting power may skew towards those in rural areas. So if you see, for example, a technology company in a city like Austin trying to evangelize connecting to community to flip the vote, it might be effort done within a vacuum with less effectiveness than perceived.
Another way to put this is: nobody working in this field has control over what they are building, and can't make any promises about how it will behave.

It's like launching a rocket ship that you can't test in a physical simulation first. Something is going to go wrong that can't be predicted because we lack the understanding, but this is seen as an acceptable risk.
Seriously who believes vaccines are the “only” solution? They are one of the most important (if not the most important) tools we have against Covid.

The first link was more straightup advocacy of stimming, the second is more of a reasoned followup after backlash to the first post 6 years earlier including the phenomenon of performative stimming. I'll jump to the blurb I was referencing in the 2nd link because the posts are quite long:

"But sometimes I have also seen activists engaged in stimming that was not authentic — stimming deliberately used to get attention or to make a statement. I’m not sure if this staged stimming is good and true: I’m not even sure if it could properly be called “stimming” (if stimming becomes divorced from its joy, its delicious rush, its natural high, is it still stimming?). And when we aren’t stimming for joy, because our bodies want and need it, because it is physically releasing us from neurotypical oppression (the rule of quiet hands), then who or what are we stimming for?"

Essentially making the point that stimming for the approval of others is still surrendering to ableism because you're performing for other people's acceptance when you should just be accepted. It's just that instead of trying to look more normal than you are, you try to look more different than you are.

This is to me what gets at the heart of what bothers me about TikTok. It seems to create pressure on autistic people to confirm to stereotypes of autistic people.
I enabled `pam_namespace` for per-user `/tmp` and `/var/tmp` on the systems I administer with those filesystems being tmpfs and xfs respectively. We get odd problems weekly where one or other user can't write to `/tmp` (but nsenter fails to reproduce it) but have never had issues with the `/var/tmp`. We came from Solaris where tmpfs was standard for `/tmp` and it surprised me to find that it seems to be an unusual choice on Linux. Are there reasons it isn't widely deployed on Linux? I can't think why inode reuse could cause the problems I experience but if I can enable this inode64 option, I'll give it a try.
Embryo, not fetus. It is not a fetus until many weeks after the 6 week cutoff.
Is there a good book which covers the historical development of quantum theory (in the 1900-1930's period) along-with the in depth technical exposition? Reading either independently does not provide the kind of engagement which can be provided with a combined exposition.

For your first question - equal to their share of the population. So blacks should be ~12% of all Harvard students, for example, as opposed to the current 6%.
Are you arguing that COVID is more deadly in young people than the flu because its absolute number of deaths in young people was higher last year, without taking into account that the number of infections was higher too?
I don't understand this argument, though. You can make it about literally any group that includes more than two people.

If it means that you can't say anything about a large group of people, I'm not sure I agree, given that most countries can agree on enough things to be governed. I'm not exactly sure what the point of the argument is.
Most primates are not intelligent enough to admit this to themselves.
They see themselves as something categorically different.

Which, by the way, is related to the discussed problem.

The embarrassing thing about these phenomena is that a machine holds up a mirror to us.
Naked and ugly.

To 'patch' the mirror won't change a thing.
Especially when he is right under the right circumstances.

Maybe they thought it would be racist if they explicitly devised rules preventing black people being identified as primates.
I don't see how it matters whether the fetus is alive or not. If it can't survive outside the mother then the mother has the right to kill it.

If you caused a car accident which lead to the other person needing a kidney transplant that only you can provide should you be required to give up a kidney? I don't see how abortion is different. Either way you made a risky choice that you knew could cause someone's life to be dependent on you. That doesn't mean you're forced to save the person.

Of course that's only if their politics agree with the status quo.
Otherwise they are labelled a coconut and deplatformed.
Pfft "wokeness" is just the latest label for people who have an investment in the status quo to complain about. Before that it was "political correctness", "hipsters", "hippies", etc. Not saying that there aren't annoying "woke" people (just like in any cohort of 22 yr old grad students there are gonna be some annoying ones who take themselves too seriously), but the pearl clutching is getting ridiculous here. The world isn't black and white, "woke" culture has some good points, for sure includes some amount of "taking it too far", but ultimately is, on the whole, made up of humans who you probably relate to on a personal level more than you don't.

Those who enact law against abortion should have to Google "trisomy 13 cyclops" (warning: NSFL) on a large projector in public and have their reactions broadcast. I can't even find the worst image in an older case study I'm thinking of right now, but damn has Google images of it gotten worse since I last looked.
