AND queer people have always struggled to gain access to workplaces. Even today income lags & opportunities are hindered by bias

The history of drag balls and specially the category of business executive is a great example of how the only access to so many professions was performative art and impersonation (& still is especially for POC, non normative gender, trans etc)
As in, outside of the social bubble. Usually pre-school kids still have fairly active 'social calendars', with nursery, parent/child meetups, being dragged to family events. COVID stopped these, which stopped transmission.

Another commenter (dragontamer) pointed out elsewhere in the thread that Apple might be doing what Sony did for the PS3 (since Sony also made custom chips that had to perform identically in the end product): the strategy Sony took was to actually make better chips than advertised for the PS3, and disable the extra cores. That means that if one of the cores is broken, you can still sell it in a PS3; you were going to disable it anyway. Yields go up since you can handle a broken core, at the cost of some performance for your best-made chips since you disable a core on them.

That could make sense for Apple; the M1 is already ~1 generation ahead of competitors, so axing a bit of performance in favor of higher yields doesn't lose you any customers, but does cut your costs.

Plus, they definitely do some binning already, as mentioned with the 7 vs 8 core GPUs.

> That part Apple does get right.

In the sense that they don't bother, by those standards. AFAIK Apple's watch that does everything is virtually comparable to the "watch that looks good" in its running analytics, cycling features, swimming connectivity, etc. Put another way, the mid-tier and above running-focused Garmin devices (can't speak for the other sports) should not be considered to be in the same class as an Apple watch for running.

I think this would be a tumbling window rather than a true "rolling" tdigest. I suppose you could decrement the buckets, but it gets a little weird as splits can't really be unsplit. The tumbling window one would probably work, though Tdigest is a little weird on merge etc as it's not completely deterministic with respect to ordering and merging (Uddsketch is) so it's likely you get something that is more than good enough, but wouldn't be the same as if you just calculated it directly so it gets a little confusing and difficult.

Have a series 6, used it in the pool (salted) the first time and the watch died. Had to get a replacement from them which took one week. I couldn’t do fitness tracking all that week. So, I am not planning to use the watch in water at all.
Problem is your example.

A) There is plenty of precedent for women being involved in the mechanisms of government

B) Governance is a cultural artefact and diet is a matter of biology. I do not think we perfectly understand culture, but we create it as we go along. The requirements of biology are hard, must be met, and very poorly understood. SO lack of precedent for veganism (plenty for vegetarianism) is an issue

> It used to be that if you were queer - in any sense of the word - and lived in one of the countless small, conservative, traditional communities in this country, you were shit out of luck.

Doesn't stop at the country's border: Social Media has been a gift to the whole world.

And it's not just queers either: just look at the 2011 Arab Spring. Suddenly, people could just get news from their peers, see live videos of what was really happening and not just the curated content allowed by the local warlord. They could see how westerners lived and wonder: "Why do I have to bribe everyone around me?" "Why can they just go to school and not me?" "Why are woman able to have jobs and walk down the streets without a man?" and "Why are they allowed multiple sources of information?"

There's a wonder some countries are trying hard to restrict internet access, and western social media. The great Firewall, Cuban Intranet, Egypt cutting out the countries network during protests...

Flipping doesn't really exist when appreciation is low. Remember how no one was flipping houses in 2010? And then in 2012, suddenly everyone in their mom started flipping houses again?

It only makes sense when asset appreciation is high. You'll find that most of the "value added" is simply them holding the house for 6 months and capturing appreciation (on leverage).

Well, when things like superbowl or similar events are happening the overspill tends to get inacceptable.

I also worked at Google. Now I'm using Google's Flutter to build a mobile app. I worry that Flutter will stagnate and become unusable on mobile before I can afford native rewrites. Flutter's mobile support is already stagnating. Flutter Team has left many mobile features half-implemented: iOS widgets [0], dark mode [1], location [2], and camera [3]. They even hired an outside company to work on Flutter mobile extensions [4]. Flutter's engineers have moved on to web and desktop. Others have written [5] about this.

Beware depending on any Google tool for your business.

Pointlessly reworking software is the hallmark of a poor (or green) contributor. Designers can redesign features that work fine, engineers can refactor code that doesn't need optimization, PMs can come up with features that nobody needs. Designers might do this more often since there is a somewhat lower barrier to entry than the other two disciplines, but that doesn't mean the whole profession should be ditched. A good designer knows when to pull out the big design guns and when to leave em holstered.

From the article: "More than half of the participants in the Yankelovich focus groups questioned the price of our burger."

They "did research" which found that a handful of people didn't understand fractions, in an unusual group social setting which can easily amplify oddball beliefs if other participants aren't 100% confident.

You can do general polling of a question like this, which will give you actual serious data about whether Americans understand fractions.

Ever since getting my Apple Watch I basically don't use my wallet anymore since Apple Pay is so convenient and ubiquitous where I live.

> I know that a lot of us more tech inclined want this freedom. But grandma is never running toolchain on a computer to install custom software

This is thought-terminating nonsense, constantly repeated. What my grandma wants is for me to pick what's best for her and install it. What she doesn't want is Google (or Samsung for that matter) keeping her grandson from doing what he thinks she'll like best.

edit: and to be clear, that's what all of my computer-illiterate family members want, although not all of them from me (there are other grandchildren, uncles, etc.). The radical idea that people would rather have decisions made by the people that they love and trust rather than companies that actively and constantly prey upon them should be accepted without question.
Ok here’s a list of the features;
“GPS, fitness tracking, music, calls, text if I'm out on a run (LTE required), 2-factor auth, Apple Pay.“

Now why would you need them running on an Apple watch when you have an iPhone in your pocket? Justify the $400+ expense and charging hassle to me. I’ll give you heart rate tracking although a good heart rate tracker is $80 w/bluetooth and an app. You don’t need the watch for any of it is the answer. You’ll get there. Think about it

I've seen the idea float around that in order for democracy to function, the people need to see the political leadership as a) competent and b) acting in good faith. For the group of people who were coming into political adulthood in the 70s-80s (mostly born circa 1945-1965), those sentiments were deeply undermined by the Iran-Contra affair/hostage crisis and Watergate respectively.

That cohort have now been the modal force in politics, business and the electorate for a few decades, and we're seeing the results.
Do you think that companies pay based on productivity, or based on the minimum amount they need to pay in order to attract workers?

If the former, do you believe that if a remote worker moves from NYC to Idaho, and their employer cuts their pay by 25%, it is because their productivity has dropped by 25%? Or because their employer knows they can get away with paying them less in an area with lower cost of living / less high paying jobs?

> The anti-cancel-culture people make it sound like they are being horribly oppressed. But for what? The color of their skin?

At work last week, our "diversity and equity" team announced that our company is "obviously" not diverse enough.

This is a company in the US with employees across North America and Europe, with some employees in South America, Australia, India, and even Africa, and not just South Africa, either.

The company does have more employees in Europe and North America than elsewhere, and those employees share one thing in common: skin color. They do not share a nationality, a language, a cuisine, or a mindset.

The only possible interpretation of the D&I&E officer is that there is too much white skin at our company.

Is that horrible oppression? No, but it is racist and prejudiced AF and I would 100% lose my job of I said a single word.

What's wrong with renting? Why are poor people entitled to home ownership when most of the young middle class isn't? Why can't they rent?

There would be no problem with rent if home-ownership wasn't a massive handout from the government by guaranteeing that home prices appreciate more than interest rates. This is extremely unfair to poor people as it is currently - because they can't get in line to get massive amounts of free money. Best they can get is SNAP.

Meanwhile, your local millionaire is getting >$20k per year in asset subsidization.

I don't think that even more manipulation is the solution to the problem. If the government could get out of the business of pumping up house prices while keeping benefits like SNAP, that would go a long way toward fixing inequality.
