Put primate ( text) next to a white guy and no one would consider it as racist really, because it's correct.

But next to a black person it's totally different.

Never mind history, i knew it was bad. But I wonder about the effects about "putting it to the center of attention" all the time.

Can we fix and name problems that are based on culture and not on race anymore.

For example:

What would be the consequences of having a statement "i don't know of any problems with Asians who migrated to my country". While i say Asians, it's probably that the culture of them probably has less conflicts?

Eg. In our prison ( not US), there is a over representation of certain foreign cultures, according to the numbers.

How can we tell if that observation is factual correct and there is a problem with different cultures or if it's a consequence of racism.

If that observation would be correct and there is a problem. How can we treat it, since we are not allowed to name it.

( Just to be sure, i am no racist. I'm just wondering out loud and it's very hard to find a place to properly discuss something like this. Which is part of the problem, no?)

I think when you want something you should ask for it, for sure!
Ask HN: What were the tech trends thought to be revolutionary but died out?
For examples NFTs are in style right now, I do not know how it's going to fare in the future, but has there been similar trends like this in history?

It's also baseless speculation. Better sources seem to agree it's because MS wanted a "clean break" from Windows 8, which got bad press. This makes much more sense than bending to poorly written apps from 20yrs ago.
The code should explain what it's doing (self documenting code) and tests should explain why it's doing it.

Comments tend to just become a place for misinformation or get disconnected from the actual logic.

Adding more comments sometimes doesn't clarify the situation, it just acts as a second source of truth.
(a) Do you call any case where someone turns out to be wrong "false messaging"? Their prior knowledge led them to believe (wrongly, but it seems to me, quite honestly) that non-N95 masks would not be effective, and they didn't have evidence to the contrary, and they very openly explained that their fear is healthcare providers not having masks, which was 100% a sincere worry any official worth their salt would have.

(b) A tweet only has so much room to explain things. There's a reason websites in general, official CDC recommendations in particular, and the news media exist. If the only source of information you get your news from for several weeks amidst a pandemic is Twitter, and the tweet turns out to be lacking some info, the problem isn't the source you're reading.

(c) Even if you establish there was "false messaging from the surgeon general on Twitter" (which you haven't due to the reasons above), it's quite a goalpost move from "the CDC was being deceptive/manipulative". Especially when the the surgeon general was picked by the president and specifically not the NIH authority figure that the nation was looking up to 24/7.
Ivermectin seems to be prescription for pets and over the counter only for livestock. So if you are using cat ivermectin, you need a prescription too.

Not sure on the specific differences of horse vs human ivermectin.
Yes that's unfortunate. For what it's worth, Anthony Fauci was on a podcast in June, 2021 where he discussed the mid-2020 mask advice among other things. He basically said that, yes, they didn't want people to hoard them, but also that, based on experience with the original SARS, only visibly (symptomatically) sick people were spreading the virus. Of course we know now that SARS-CoV-2 spreads asymptomatically for days/weeks, but hindsight is 20/20...

>I've never heard of a location with Roman numerals in the name.

At least in Europe, extremely common. In Paris you have Boulevard Henry IV, in Lyon the street named after the same king. There's thousands of kings and queens and many more roads named after them. There's also schools, buildings and such named after them.
I am strongly in favor of net neutrality.

There are still things that I think warrant disconnecting someone's IP connectivity in the same way that you can do things that will justify cutting off water, electricity or gas.

There's a larger set of things that I think can justify a hosting service saying "sorry, we just don't want to provide this service to you anymore". I don't consider hosting to be a public utility, unlike IP connectivity.
Are there any estimates on when the shortage might be over?
> So despite prescriptions going up x24, and some unknown number of people taking veterinary versions of the drug, emergency calls have only gone up x5? Wouldn't we expect it to be around x24 or greater?

Why would we expect excess emergency calls due to doctor prescribed levels of ivermectin? Ivermectin is used to treat humans for other things, and unless it's a particularly dangerous treatment I doubt we'd see many hospitalisations due to it.

There's little evidence it helps treat COVID, but I doubt doctors are prescribing dangerous levels of ivermectin like those found in animal treatments. 5x emergency calls for people taking animal treatments sounds reasonable.
It's part of why I like to bring it up. It's a toss-up whether it makes people really upset, make them refuse to accept it, or get them to learn something new, but occasionally it makes people think critically about how property rights relate to liberty.

Incidentally I think everyone should read Dejacque's open letter to Proudhon [1], irrespective of their political views - it's just one of the most poetically written political texts I've read (and his first use of the term libertarianism). Also somewhat relevant to the discussion here as an early example of a form of wokeness - Dejacque criticising an ally on the left for not going far enough in throwing off the social order Proudhon was ostensibly challenging by failing to stand up equally for women.

Lol hmmmm... very interesting.

So how do you pronounce "nose" (like on your face)?

Second question: how do you pronounce "bulldozer" (like the heavy machinery)
Did you write it? What is the tech stack? Why is the maximal speed 15gps? (Is it hardcoded, or it's calculated for each computer?)
Social security has been 20 years away from not being able to pay full benefits since the 1970s.
JavaScript inherited the abysmal standard library support of Lisp language families and poor support for domain specific use cases of Java. The situation has been improving, but with the ”never break the backwards compatibility” of the web browsers on the driver seat, JavaScript will never be like Python or Julia for the data science use cases.
Is anyone actually upset about this or is this just news sites trying to get clicks? Anyone that thinks about it for half a second would realize this that this is just another case of image recognition being imperfect, just like when reCAPTCHA asks you to select all pictures of buses and there aren’t any. It’s not designed to be racist or malicious so why are we talking about it?
> The most stunning moment in my life was when I realised that in a world of ~7 billion souls a group of about 30 people could have such an oversized impact.

There are much more stunning examples than that. For example Stalin has pretty much shaped the fate of billions for decades, and he was just one man.
You expected an actual useful explanation of a complex tech issue from Bloomberg?

The next time Bloomberg manages that will be the first time.

Completely, utterly useless for tech reporting of any kind.
Completely agree. After healthy doses of React / Angular / Vue development, you kind of reach a point where wrestling with the quirks and overhead of the framework, when it's not strictly necessary, seems like more work than just tossing up some plain standards-compliant code.

I like getting rid of dependencies whenever possible.

I think I read something a little while ago that that's actually what Netflix sometimes tries to do with their front end - plain, dep-free code wherever they can make it work.
If they don't have pay us for our data, then they will not.

I am pretty much hard-over on privacy, yet I carefully use many fine Google services, keep a Facebook account because I really enjoy my Oculus, etc.

I am conflicted about Apple because my professional and personal digital lives are so smooth with an Apple Watch, and iPhone, iPad, and M1 MacBook Pro. Low friction.

I have several Linux laptops, including a really nice System76. The thought of getting a CalyxOS Android, and just using Linux is a rough decision.
I hate wifi. It's useful to users so they like it (it's useful to me too, I admit), but it's a serious PITA to manage and to diagnose problems. Perhaps people here - especially network professionals - have tips on these age-old issues:

* What statistic(s) actually correlate best with network performance? Signal strength is what everyone assumes; is that it? Signal strength variability (i.e., availability)? Ratio of endpoint to base station active radios?, etc.

* How do you efficiently diagnose user reports of intermittent network failures? How do you distinguish interference issues from base station hardware issues from user hardware issues from good old user confusion and imagination?

* How do you efficiently and cost-effectively track down sources of interference, especially intermittent interference? They could come from anywhere, inside and outside your facility. They could be caused by a million different things, active and passive.
That's just not true. Most people are happy to have Netflix and other streaming apps integrated directly in their TV without having to acquire an external device.
What the TOS says is:

“violates the privacy or publicity rights of another User or any other person or entity, or breaches any duty of confidentiality that *you owe* to another User or any other person or entity.”

Most people don’t owe any privacy rights in regards to others medical care.

GoDaddy can say “we don’t want to be involved in this sort of thing.”

But they should not pretend their clients are breaking the law.

There is lots of caselaw involving whether anti-abortion groups can gather this sort of information.

They can.

GoDaddy doesn’t have to be involved in it. But they shouldn’t pretend there is an obligation or duty being violated by the site owner.
> Basic 1080p is 3.96 Gbps.

Yes. (Well technically you need 3.20 or 3.33 for 1080p60, and HDMI 1.0 supports 3.96)

> Lightning is 480 Mbps. The bandwidth isn't there according to how lightning was designed.

Not true. Lightning has two differential data pairs. The port can do much more than 480 Mbps.

If your response to that is "oh, but it's only connected to pins that do 480", they would have to reconnect it to video pins anyway to do HDMI out. And nothing else in the lightning ecosystem would limit it, because this is a directly-attached adapter.

Also some of the iPad Pros have actual usb 3 support on their lightning ports.
Any further reading on this? I’d like to understand it more. Are there certain chips that are plentiful that we could port a lot of software over to?

(Might be a good business opportunity if so)
I think is is with something like autism that likely represents an underlying cognitive difference. It allows you to find other people like yourself, and calibrate your own experiences. To understand why you react to things in the way that you do. Otherwise you could easily end up going through life receiving advice and guidance that is completely inappropriate for you because it's aimed at an average that you diverge from significantly.

Well, those are fine for on-property, but not going places, as at least around here they're not road/hwy legal.

I have a compact tractor, I want something for moving stuff around that is either off-property (compost, manure, lumber, straw bales, etc.) or not suited for tractor/trailer.

I do have an SUV (Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which is cool cuz it has a 12 amp outlet in the back for powering tools etc) but it can't fit plywood in the back and I wouldn't put dirty stuff in it, cuz it's my wife's :-)
Yeah, it's the font that Atari games had at the time.
I welcome the chip shortage.

I implore the national security state and the intelligence community to take action and intensify this trend.

Thus the advance of artificial intelligence will be slowed and we will have more time to practice AI regulation and control.

Only then may strong AI be permitted to eventuate.
Otherwise it may destroy us.
He who develops AI would be punished severely were we to live in a just world.

We need a butlerian jihad against AI, led by the national security state, equipped by the brave men and women of Anduril incorporated.

The damage to the rest of the economy is unfortunate but a cost I am willing to accept.

Now what do we actually need that hardware for, aside from training language models or mining bitcoin?

Why don’t we also develop more efficient software?
Why don’t we pay people to do so?
Many of you in this thread could work on this, and be paid handsomely for it.
I suspect this has something to do with the human drug vs. the veterinary products.

Ivermectin is a widely prescribed and generally safe drug when used for its intended purpose. Some would argue that taking it in human-sized doses for COVID is probably not dangerous (this does not imply it's effective).

The problem is that people who can't get human prescriptions are turning to veterinary products which tend to be massively larger doses, and this is where things probably go off the rails.
4chan generally produces some of the most objectively hilarious scenarios. I recommend watching the "He will not divide us" series by Internet Historian on Youtube.

Exactly.

I remember in the DMV regulations that there's a special dispensation for Kei cars that essentially defines Catalina. 'An island over xxx square miles in size' sort of thing.

It used to be big fun here (before they went to 1975 and earlier gasoline engined cars going to not being inspected) if you had a car that was incapable of passing even when new.

I'm actually quite surprised that they don't check date codes on tires and require new seat belts every so many years.
I am adding my comment for what it's worth. This reckless grab for power is immoral and contradicts Apple's core values. They must stop all attempts at surveilling their users or lose their user-base altogether. Apple, stop this evil plan!
I visited Londrina a few years ago and was impressed at how much Japanese culture there still is.
In short, more suitable staffing and scoping. Hopefully I don't need to explain the arbitrary nature of the 40-hour week.

A lot of people like the idea of flexibility along with these reduced hours, but I'd actually prefer if we went to a uniform 3-day weekend with Friday off. This would have the benefit of aligning the definition of the weekend in the middle East with that in Europe and the US.
When this run in crypto is finished.
I've dealt with a lot of badly labelled datasets, but I can't say I ever saw one maliciously labelled by racists.

There are other more subtle problems that may contribute. As an amateur photographer I've been told that most cameras are calibrated for light skin. If you aren't careful with your setup you'll get bad definition in shadows and relatively very dark areas. If you have badly calibrated/exposed photos then very dark faces, whether of sub-Saharan people or gorillas, may be poorly distinguished. I bet there are loads of unfair, hard-to-catch issues like that.

By the way I don't mean to say that you're wrong, but just to offer a Hanlon's Razor-type counterpoint as it occurred to me.
And they shouldn't have been.
Could I please ask for some explanation of the multiple downvotes I've received here? I note the following:

1. I made my point politely, and constructively.

2. I did also offer an answer.

3. My point was not related to "preferred pronouns" or even "political correctness". It's simply a violation of basic avoidance-of-sexism principles to use a male pronoun in this situation, when a technical cofounder may be any gender. (It hasn't been acceptable to do that for several decades.)
It's not only chips.It's everything.Timber,iron,steel,building materials, certain types of food.

Just 6.5 acres, half wooded + market garden + hobby vineyard. I've considered local beater trucks, but I'll wait until I can get farm plates (lower insurnace) which requires us making a little more revenue on the farm biz first.

> the correct dose

A single correct dose is a myth.

The author even sort of notes that with the differences between teenagers, 25 year olds and the elderly.

There's also a wide variety of sleep disorders which are touched on in the article.

I've suffered with 2.5mg before for long enough to understand that it doesn't work for me, no matter how many studies you have with 95% CL that the dose is much lower. The 5mg tablets work much better for me.

If you get results at a lower dose, that's fine, I won't tell you to try using more.

I'm a 49 year old though with moderately severe DSPD and at least used to have non-24 hour disorder and would be happiest letting my schedule shift 1-2 hours every night during college for a few years. If you're a 25 year old and you've never quite had sleep that fucked up which wasn't entirely self-inflicted due to partying then you're not me (most young people who think they have bad sleep disorders are just actively doing things to fuck up their sleep and when they stop doing those things they're magically cured -- and then they turn into the most insufferable assholes because they think they understand sleep disorders when they don't).

And one thing to understand about melatonin is that its not really an anxiolytic and if stress/anxiety is keeping you up it may not work (it will not make the pandemic go away). I also find that I need to take it about an hour before bedtime, and rather than making me tired, it more allows me to get tired. I still need a nighttime ritual to unwind.
I thought I would hate them but accepted my fate and got one last year after our not so smart TV died after 18 years. I had no bad experiences so far: very smooth ride.
“Systemic racism” is itself a woke term that misleadingly imputes prejudice and intent onto basically economic factors. As a brown guy in America, I can expect to make more money, and my kids will have higher income mobility even if I came here in poverty, than whites. I have half the chance of being shot by the police and a third the risk of being incarcerated than white people. I can expect to live longer as a brown man than white women. What does it mean to say American society is “systemically racist” against me and my kids?

It’s not just my kind of brown people either. The incarceration rate for Hispanics is now below that of whites: https://www.slowboring.com/p/hispanic-prison (even though Hispanics are much more likely to be in the 18-35 demographic where incarceration is highest). Studies show Hispanics are converging in terms of income over generations at the same pace as Italians, etc. American Hispanics live as long as white people in Denmark. What does “America is systemically racist” mean for them?

This system of “white supremacy” that holds back all non-white people just doesn’t exist. It’s a myth.

Like there are concrete disparities that are true that we can teach about. But the reading lists you got in your email last year had Kendi and Di Angelo, not concrete facts: https://www.epi.org/publication/the-color-of-law-a-forgotten...
Or get a second opinion, like a grown-up.

I don't listen to the first contractor or plumber on a big job, either. There is nothing special about the position or opinions of medical professionals that I shouldn't seek additional information or help.
Yeah this was in central Alberta, pretty brutal winters. And my parents had a bit of a steep driveway.

These days I live in southern Ontario which is about the same as Indiana for climate.

One thing about that old Ford Ranger is that the cab was small and the engine hot and it heated up faster in the winter than any other vehicle I've ever had.
It would be great if someone from Apple spilled the beans on what actually went down.

No doubt the Apple Internal Affairs Department would be all over that. It would be a good test for Apple Privacy(tm).
I think this article lacks an actual history of the event as opposed to the meaning people seek at the event today.

It's my recollection -- from speaking with some long time san francisco residents -- that the original burning man was really a burning woman, and was an effigy of one of the founder's former girlfriends. If you look at photos of the first burn, the "man" appears more to be a woman in a hands-on-hips scolding posture https://www.presidio.gov/blog-internal/PublishingImages/then... . Subsequent burns shifted to a more neutral hands at sides posture.

Of course, if you speak to the original burners the somewhat misogynistic roots have been smoothed over to clarify that the man is a more universal symbol. There are some decent articles https://www.trippingly.net/burning-man-musings/2019/2/14/why... that cover the different accounts of the first burn, which is a bit more well researched that "something a SF long time resident told me".
You can and people do it all the time, what you are not allowed to do is say "sorry I can't serve you cause you have a different skin color", but you can certainly say "sadly due to our terms we cannot serve you because we cannot serve people who are born in North Colorado because we get to much fraud from North Colorado".

There is tons of ways to "not serve" people. Just try not to be an outright racist and you're fine.

A business with a terms of service that you signed always says "Random Business has the right to refuse service for blah blah".
Right and that’s why we should curtail its use because thinking in an engineering box suits very few real world examples.

This algorithm is clearly broken, it doesn’t label all people as primates, it labels Black people wearing a green T-shirt possibly as such, I mean I’m sorry but that algorithm is definitely broken. The person in question should not be labeled as primate by any means not should any other humans unless the context is specifically some form of species taxonomy.

Also your reaction seems to be all daisies and roses, and I don’t blame you for your social context ignorance you displat, I guess you are just an engineer after all..
