>Wokeness is generally treated as a joke among virtually every American whose employment is not dependent on 'public opinion'

I'm not American (in case the username didn't give that away!), but I have definitely seen "woke" culture infiltrate into people's lives, especially in the corporate context.

A couple of incidents people I know personally have experienced include a guy being fired after a dumb sexist joke made at height of #metoo (to be fair, he was socially retarded in general) and another guy whose joke email was forcibly retracted by HR for using Christian Imagery in an "Easter Celebration" message (this guy was not socially retarded; school captain in fact).

Compare and contrast to the blue collar guys I know who openly make racist/homophobic jokes to just about everyone.

Point is, maybe amongst the people you know, in the city that you live, "wokeness" is treated as a joke. But in corporate culture in Melbourne (Australian equivalent of Portland, OR), it's this looming, oppressive spectre.
This implies that trans people are deceptive.

Is is deception if you prefer brunettes, but the person you're about to be intimate with has dyed their hair?
Saying that political thinking, of any stripe, is about power is pretty much a tautology. Similarly, equality and justice are about power relations, so there isn’t the contradiction you seem to believe there either.

Politics is the process of distributing power, and left wing politics aims to distribute power more widely, whereas right wing politics aims to concentrate it.
I’ve heard it spoken (never, of course, by someone actually from Latin America), and it’s indeed pronounced latin-ex.
And that implies that gay people do not exist. A lesbian who says testicles are gross does not actually have a genetic sexual desire for biological women.
> This kind of thinking can go quite far if taken to its logical conclusion

The logical conclusion of it being permitted is...that it will be done when the utility of the impact it is perceived as likely to have outweighs the perceived disutility of the protest action, including any beneficial exchange foregone. Which is, all in all, not very much, which matches pretty well with observed behavior.

> After a free and fair election, I accept the results and move on, even if things do not go my way

Well, when there is a free and fair election to strip you of fundamental liberties, and you lose, try to keep that attitude in mind.
The general consensus: "because it's systemd", "systemd is unstable", "systemd does too much", "systemd is non-unix".

We know that the vast majority of the time gender disphoria starts and stops spontaneously in kids. In other words, it’s almost always just a phase.
I can guarantee that the backlash you got was less about your personal opinion, but for calling a relationship between a cis men and a trans man straight.

It's just a really shitty thing to do, and it's not even accurate. Attraction models do not solely work based on genitals, there's a lot of other characteristics that go into that.
I'm trans and I'd be fine with it and I think of the arguments that it's transphobic as misguided at best, malicious at worst. There seems to be a vocal contigent of transwomen who identify as lesbians who try to argue that a lesbian who is not trans and doesn't want to have sex with a transwoman (even one with male genitalia) is transphobic. This sounds to me like a kind of very, very bad pickup line.

On the other hand, I'd like to know what the OP, shtps, would think if they dated a transwoman without knowing she was trans and later found out about it. People have committed violent crimes because they didn't know, or at least claimed they didn't know as a defense.

So there is something there that needs clearing up. If you're attracted to someone and then later find something about them and decide you're not attracted to them after all, that's not the fault of the person you initially found atttractive. Agreed?

I guess by "the left" you mean Democrats? They're mostly liberals, not leftists, and want to maintain the hierarchies but ease some of the most obvious impacts through regulations.

The idea that "left means more government" is also very ahistorical and feels uniquely like a product of modern American political discourse. The origin of the left-right distinction is literally the abolition of feudalism, i.e. replacing a fixed hierarchy by birthright with egalitarian democratic elections. By 1776 standards the founding fathers were left-wing radicals. The right would have literally defended the Crown.

If you understand left-right as Democrat-Republican, your view doesn't hold true either. Republicans generally want to void labor protections, reduce taxes, cut social welfare and lift environmental regulations, but they also always want to increase the military, intelligence and police budgets. Republicans also tend to want the state to enforce their idea of morality, e.g. by prohibiting (secular or non-Christian) same-sex marriages, criminalizing abortion or restricting sex education and access to contraceptives. They want to enforce what they see as the natural order through punishment whereas "the left" wants to counteract it through support. Prison abolitionists tend to be on the left, not the right.

The government isn't hierarchy. The government is an institution that interacts with hierarchy. As are large corporations for that matter. Reducing the government budget and shifting more economic power to corporations doesn't reduce hierarchies, it only takes power from elected officials to unelected shareholders.

If you believe in an unregulated free market capitalism, you literally support the hierarchy of the market and you believe in a natural order. Or to put it in words that feel less icky if you think of yourself as an anarcho-capitalist: that people should vote with their dollars on what goods and services should thrive or fail.

If you believe money is power and you believe it's good and natural for some people to have many orders of magnitude more money than other people, you believe in a natural order. This is what leftists call a hierarchy and leftists don't like it.

Note: I'm not saying leftists don't want a big government. I'm saying leftists (even outside anarchism) want to get rid of the state. They just disagree on how to get there. And for reformists that answer usually involves using the state one way or another.
The vagrant around the corner from me is banned from all stores in the area for his controversial refusal to abide by "no shirt, no shoes, no service". He's extremely not mainstream. You should only listen to him if you want to deeply question your reality and possibly ruin your life by becoming aware of the things that go against the mainstream narrative pushed by the drugstore-industrial complex. Showering every day is a myth pushed by the trillion dollars advertising industry. I consider being banned from places a sign of credibility, and refuse to believe the official story that we were banned for "smelling like shit".

>Just watch one of those old “Berlin in the 1920s” or “NYC in the 1970s” videos. You’ll quickly notice the almost complete lack of overweight people.

Being fat in the 80s is being skinny today. It's uncanny rewatching movies where the fat kid everyone picked on then would be on the average to skinny side today.

Whenever I bring that up I get someone popping out of the wood work saying that the 80s had heroin chik, unrealistic body expectations and on and on.

But the fattest state in 2000 (Mississippi) is skinnier than the skinniest state today (Colorado) [0]. And in 1990 the fattest state (again Mississippi) was half as fat as Colorado is today.

Forget being transgendered the majority of the US would look barely human to anyone from the 80s.

First of all, don’t call it luck, call it chance.

It’s a major component, no doubt, but others matter more.

- Category-killers are rare and driven by pre-existing relationships and a huge blob of chance. Your odds of being one are indistinguishable from zero. You can’t compete head-to-head against them, so don’t try. Carve a niche, guard it relentlessly and have a nice life.

- Make some smart, high-profile customers so happy they never want to change. They get the benefit of nearly custom work, which you can also sell to others, reducing everyone’s technology and business risk.

- Follow the way of the three P’s: Patience, Persistence, Politeness. Tattoo them on your hand if you have to.
Yes, uBO in it's current state can do everything uMatrix can do. I don't think this was true "from the beginning" but it is true now.
We all start off genderless until testosterone washes over the male unborn foetus starting some of the gender characteristics like penises and brain changes. I think (it’s hard to tell as you’re so muddled in your thinking) you’re taking the bell curve of differences and how those differences manifest and attempting to make up concrete rules. Statistics doesn’t work that way.

Ask HN: Dear Non-tech founders, how do you build MVPs?
Which one is easy?

1. Would you find a tech co-founder and ask him to code?

2. Would you use a No-code platform to build?

3. Would you outsource to a development team?
I'm guessing there are three effects there:

• People with shared experiences often cluster together in friend groups. (There are autistic friend groups, yet you'd get laughed out of the village for saying “Sally caught autism off her friends”.)

• People tend to come out around people it's safe to come out around.

• Seeing your friends coming out as [whatever] might make you properly consider whether you might also like guys, or Minecraft, or not being a woman.

And they're the same effects in anyone with a socially-frowned-upon interest. Think of the tabletop-RPG-playing “nerds” of yore.
Thanks, that's comforting to hear it's not commonly looked down upon at least. Sincerely appreciate it.
Refusing to date the whole group due to a choice made in principle is obviously transphobic, by definition.

Not being attracted to this or that person is perfectly natural. Reminder: a lot of trans people "pass" perfectly.

"ostracized by the woke community" in another strawman.
Saying it's cultural influence doesn't mean it's just a phase. I'm sure most people have life long personality traits that came from cultural influences.

Moreover, even if being gay or trans is just the result of cultural influence doesn't mean we should respect it any less. That said, it's worth asking the question isn't it?
I think the solution is for the editor to have a hard limit on how many edits it will apply to one image. You'd need to write into the output file how many edits had been performed before signing it and then refuse to process the edited image any further if it's too high.

Any scheme like this would be eventually broken somehow, so it's altogether a bad idea imho

So in summary here's what we know:

1. The building's weirdly-shaped vertical spaces cause signal interference that cannot be mitigated by the 802.11 automatic mechanisms.

2. The building was not originally wired (or at least not wired properly) for ethernet.

3. The building is a Faraday cage, but not a useful one because it interferes with wifi penetration while exterior radar signals can still get in and block some wifi channels.

4. The building is hard to navigate for occasional visitors (personal experience and other comment herein).

5. The building leaks when it rains (private communications from residents).

Moral: Don't let Frank Gehry design your Computer Science and Engineering building. In fact, don't let Frank Gehry design any building if humans are expected to inhabit it.
Yes.

If you've never been fit enough to do something like a muscle up then you have no idea what having testosterone feels like.

I'm saying this as a former blob who got fit during covid by accident. You are your body and your body happens to have a mind, not the other way around.
> Being fat in the 80s is being skinny today.

No, its not.

> It's uncanny rewatching movies where the fat kid everyone picked on then would be on the average to skinny side today.

The distribution of body types in film (in the 1980s and otherwise) represents the fashions of the motion picture industry, not (except coincidentally) broader society. The relation of that fashion to broader society is very much not consistent.

> Forget being transgendered the majority of the US would look barely human to anyone from the 80s.

Being an actual person from the 1980s (70s, in fact) I can say with some confidence that this is not true.
Yes. The fact this craziness is actually encouraged by Finnish state media as something normal nowadays is seriously starting to destroy my will to live in this country. Idiots are copying everything that's wrong with America here.

Not by default, but Julia has various units packages which integrate fairly well with the rest of the ecosystem. Unitful.jl [1] is the most used one I believe and integrates with DifferentialEquations.jl for example. It should also work with many other things, but you might have to patch it up a bit, especially if operations change the units (such as derivatives).

The Plandemic "documentary" nonsense alleges that there is a decades-long conspiracy involving Big Pharma, the CDC, Google, climate scientists, John Oliver, and Bill Gates to cause the pandemic in order to benefit from the vaccines. They go on to make other specific allegations. Here's a sample.

1. That Italy's COVID-19 epidemic is linked to influenza vaccines and the presence of coronaviruses in dogs.

2. That SARS-CoV-2 was created "between the North Carolina laboratories, Fort Detrick, the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, and the Wuhan laboratory.

3. That flu vaccines increase the chance of contracting COVID-19 by 36%.

4. That despite the goal of preventing coronaviruses, flu vaccines contain coronaviruses.

As an Eastern European I have friends and coworkers who are educated(PhDs even), but at the same time highly conservative, xenophobic and against wokeness in general.

Some of them even lived and worked abroad, but of course learned nothing from that experience.

Modern "wokeness" and so called social justice is just another way of tricking ordinary people away from the one issue that matters - wealth distribution. It's much better for the 1% to have wage slaves fighting each other about things like race, gender and culture.

Like all the “why are people gay‽”-type nonsense, I also think it's not that – but people are complicated. There is not going to be a single factor for anything, so I don't think that's a valid reason to discard the hypothesis. “There is no real correlation in the first place” would be.
This thread is filled with an unbelievable amount of vile ignorance and hatred against Trans and Gay people. This is why straight people and non-trans people need to shut up when it comes to those respective topics, because you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

I wish I could see the faces of the commenters saying this evil hate and ignorance. I bet it’s many immigrants from regressive cultures like in India (considering it’s HN) and basically anywhere but the first world where Gay and Trans people are trampled on and hated and shunned compared to the US. Watch this get banned though because straight liberals only care about “racism”. Straight liberals don’t give a fuck about Gay and Trans people.

The amount of hatred and ignorance in this thread is flat out shocking. The fact that this is all allowed to stay up is disgusting and HN should be ashamed of itself. If this was about racial identities, this thread would become a national news story about how HN allows hordes of racist computer nerds.

But homophobia and transphobia is OK to straights. Fucking disgusting.

I think they are missing one concept in their analysis.

A clock by definition is something that produces a regular series of pulses. In other words its signal is sparse in the frequency domain.

To keep it sparse, you constrain it by its geometry (if it’s electrically driven then you contain the fields in a narrow region of space). If it’s mechanical you constrain its physical dimensions etc. And finally you filter out thermal noise by lowering the entropy of the system. This is where standard thermodynamics enters into the picture…to cool the clock (say) you have to increase the entropy of the universe. The “lab conditions” under which you operate the clock though, are a low entropy zone.

But the nature of pure oscillations has no dependence on entropy—quite the reverse, the clock itself operates in a low entropy environment. In other words you can predict exactly what frequency state it’s in. Proof of this is the fact that you can print the frequency on the outside of the box in permanent paint.

Astronomical bodies float in space and they are already in a sparse environment as far as gravity is concerned. There are 7 major planets besides earth and the sun has most of the mass of the solar system. The spaces between the planets are relatively debris free. The asteroid belt is quasi-uniform. So they move kind of regularly. Where they couple energy between planets that can be predicted using Newtons laws. What makes it a clock is the empty space between the planets. If the solar system was full of dust with storms etc then the motion of the planets would be subject to “weather” like conditions and nobody would treat it like a clock (just as we don’t keep time by the arrival of the rain).

We’re spoiled on earth by the presence of this regular motion on the skies above that is independent of all that is happening in earth. So that’s where our notion of a “fixed” absolute clock comes from.

What does this mean for atomic clocks? In the lab we try to reproduce these space like conditions (by keeping air currents, external stimuli out) and think that vibrating atoms are telling us something absolute about nature. It’s perhaps better to say that they are relatively more stable than our living environments and independent of whatever we are trying to measure. But is there some master clock in the universe that these atoms are tapping into and recording for us? No. There’s no such thing. They are just drums that beat to their own tune which happens to be defined by their dimensions and the local properties of space around them. The fact that all atoms of the same type under the same conditions are all the same size makes atomic clocks possible.
