So, that's kind of the point is that the more we study bodies and collect data on their differences the more we might be able to find / create sports where men, women and transgender can compete on a relatively level playing field together. And we perhaps already have many of those sports in the Olympics like equestrian, darts, curling, motor biking, sailing etc.

By including those events in the chart and showing little to no difference between the sexes in some sports, I think it actually helps the case that those other sports in the chart (which heavily favor strength and therefore testosterone), should continue to be played in separate divisions based on testosterone levels to create an even playing field.

But just saying transgender women shouldn't compete with women in any sport (which is what the paper is advocating), I don't think is backed up by the data. I think that's why people are mad, is that they conveniently skip over all of the mixed sports where testosterone is of little to no advantage, but then say that the male advantage is "insurmountable in nearly all sports" but only provide data on the sports that are already split up.

So, their proposition that transgender women not be allowed to compete with women in darts, sailing, etc. seems biased and they awkwardly skip providing any data around those sports in the paper.

Huh? Adding third party repositories has never been a supported path. You're welcome to use them since you own your system, but the future stability of your system is then down to the ability of the third party to not break it. Usually third party apt packagers don't consider future release upgrades.

Counselling and rehab is required in the long term, but it's a process to get people into that.

The advantage of prescribed safe supply is that drug users are now interacting with the medical system and this is a touch point where medical professionals can interact with drug users directly and divert people that are ready for counseling and rehab to those options.
I agree in general that GM is mostly a shortcut to a similar selective breeding that humans have been doing since pre-history, and banning it altogether is short sighted and reactionary. That said I think there is space for debate over which phenotypes are bred into our food, and how some phenotypes enable drastic changes in how our food is harvested and processed. For example, the use of glyphostate as an essential component in weed control and harvesting of wheat is enabled by transferring phenotypes from very different organisms that would be impossible using natural breeding techniques. And note that this and similar modifications are now IP owned by the people who did it, and they have a vested interest in getting everyone to use it (by force if necessary) irregardless of the obvious looming health questions that arise.
Yes, I’m seeing a lot of younger people trying to play the angel investor game without the capital and without realizing many angels don’t make reasonable returns but it doesn’t matter to them because it’s play money and more a chance to support new ideas and learn about things. Personally, I put aside an amount I want to angel invest every year and assume it’s burned but I really couldn’t afford to do that in a responsible way until I was well beyond the accredited investor minimum point (in yearly income).

The key to taking better pictures is to take twice as many as you would otherwise take, and throw at least half of them away during review. Over time, you'll take more, and better photos.

The key to writing better code is to write more of it, then refactor it once you've discovered what actually works to solve the problem. Spend time making sure you document it, and don't ever take pride in "clever" code. Pride go'eth before the fall.

Always be willing to throw code away, and be willing to rewrite it, at least once.

Not true at all, but the sweet tea they serve you will probably be mediocre at best, that's true. A few places will serve you unsweet tea (all they have, as a cost-savings measure) with sugar packets, as if that's the same thing, which admittedly is an offense worthy of challenging your server and/or the restaurant owner to a duel.
Fear. The IT person is likely scared of (fill in the blank - blame, losing their job etc. )

They are scared because their leadership is likely also afraid - and so unable to provide protection by taking responsibility.

This is the vibe of an organization where mistakes lead to blame and punishment instead of quick resolution and learning.
Is DNI the only acceptable form of ID for voting? Are there no free IDs that are also accepted? How long does it take to get a DNI? How convenient is it?

Voter ID laws in the US are weaponized to reduce turnout. Make ID compulsory, then make getting ID really cumbersome (reduce office hours, increase wait times, increase costs).
Re 2:
It's actually gotten a lot better. There exists Flatpak, AppImage, Snapd, and of course Docker on the 'container' front.

A growing number of apps, probably due to Go, are just as you described - a binary you can run anywhere.

I will say, I've been solely a Linux user for almost 20 years now, and still prefer the Windows structure as you described. I like the idea of applications in their own folder, with the binaries and configs and everything just there. In Linux, of course they are divided - confs go here, binaries go here, libraries here. The problem is that -here- isn't well defined. Directions for one distro don't necessarily translate directly to another wrt to locations.
Not only the US, but if you've ever claimed residence in California, they might decide to tax you for foreign income as well (if you accidentally leave any part of your life there behind when you move on, for example, leave a car registered there, or keep medical records with your doctor, even visit family there too often)! So add another potential 14% for high earners.

There's a case that Spiro (“nattering nabobs of negativism”) Agnew is a better Nixon-era example than Nixon himself, not that it started then, either.
You seem to be espousing tenants similar to 'The Secret'. Which if that's what you believe, more power to you; each to their own. I tend to think the opposite though, I think the universe tends towards death, and suffering. In the absence of concerted effort death and suffering is the result. Only through hard work and effort is the chance for happiness attained. Although I guess my ideas also seem to espouse 'The Secret', just focused on a different view point.

To everyone jumping on this: Yes, good actors can have words taken out of context.

FFRefresh had an example of, not so much "taking out of context" as "selective reframing." An entire document or posting pretty much IS "the context." A few words out of a sentence, coupled with writer-provided context, is something entirely different.

I think the giveaway is when they say something is "untrue and taken out of context" without providing any further details. It's kinda like the lawyer's boilerplate statement "the allegations are without merit and we look forward to vigorously defending ourselves in court." It means nothing.

If FB had said "we have robust debate and the leaked documents show ONE opinion, but that doesn't represent what we ultimately decided." then I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it.

Lastly, I've had personal experience with journalists, and most of them really are honorable people. The scum at BuzzFeed or Gawker or CNN who only care about advancing their agenda, rather than reporting the news, are the ones dragging down the reputation of the media.
Just to contradict the complaining about groovy scripts: I reduced something like 100 jobs to 2 using groovy in jenkins, and it has been a godsend. I'm not having any problems with it.

Mind you, the Groovy stuff was implemented as an afterthought, and if you aren't handy with Groovy (I am) it can be challenging to learn. But compared to the horrible GUI-driven alternative, it was a no-brainer in the end.

Really, the more you're doing CI, the more you want scripts - doesn't have to be Groovy. I'd honestly be perfectly fine just doing things with a bash shell on a vanilla linux install. I only use Jenkins because my team insists on it, for what? So we can put a web UI in front of CI. I'd even tend to agree that with supply-chain attacks being what they are, and jenkins being a never-ending fountain of security patches, putting a web UI in front of CI isn't worth it.

But at least the groovy part makes life bearable.
It seems like the main purpose of Spinoza's God is to have an unfalsifiable God.

The problem with other Gods like the Christian God is that they tend to come with requirements about the world that are easy to disprove. For example, the Christian God is not very compatible with the existence of natural evil. By removing all of those implications and other attributes, you arrive a Spinoza's God, a God so vague / powerless that it cannot be argued against.

You seem to be misunderstanding me here. When I say "asymptomatic transmission," I am referring to whether or not a person is displaying/experiencing symptoms at the time of transmission.

"Presymptomatic transmission" is asymptomatic transmission. Whether the infection itself becomes symptomatic later (which, as you've referenced, the research strongly suggests will happen) is of no relevance to the discussion.

Hi! This looks really cool and I like that you've published/presented at VLDB.

I'm a little curious why AWS is free/cheap, but anything other than AWS ends up in the "Enterprise, contact us for pricing" bucket. It might simply be based on your costs. I don't know if the on-prem stuff is expensive since your software needs to be in the same datacenter or if it's just a pricing differentiator.

I'm also wondering if you've thought of going the DBaaS route. It looks like AWS is charging an ~80% premium for RDS over regular on-demand instances. If you're managing a fleet of them and getting lower pricing (through committed-use discounts and negotiation) you could potentially get good margin there. For example, AWS charges $280/mo (on-demand) for an M5.2xLarge and $500/mo (on-demand) for the same instance for MySQL RDS (single AZ). So Amazon is already asking for an additional $220 and then you'd like $90/database ($450 / 5 databases on the standard plan). It seems like there might be more opportunity in the DBaaS markup than in trying to convince someone to use your tuning engine.

From your video, it doesn't sound like OtterTune does this, but it might be worth thinking about: maybe not just tuning the database, but also offering suggestions on potential anti-patterns happening. For example, if someone has code that should be using connection pools and isn't, it could be helpful to present it as something potentially important. Likewise, let's say that there are unindexed queries. Detecting that and recommending solutions is helpful. That seems like it could offer ongoing benefit.

Speaking of ongoing benefit, would there be a lot of benefit to paying for more than one month? In the 5 minute video, it showed the configuration stabilizing pretty quickly once it reached a good place. Assuming that my access patterns remain relatively the same, it seems like I could just continue with that configuration. Maybe I could sign up for one month every year to get a check-up. This isn't meant to be a criticism. It's more that I've seen so many customers exploit holes in SaaS pricing. If you're counting on recurring revenue, what happens if a customer notices that after a day they don't need the knobs tuned anymore? Can I get that $450 5-DB plan and run it on 5 databases on Monday, remove it from those 5 databases on Tuesday and apply it to 5 new databases on Tuesday (effectively getting 150 databases per month for the price of 5)? Or maybe there is a need to be tuning the configuration hourly/daily (though that seems less likely).

I do like the idea of auto-tuned knobs and it seems like a great service. I guess it's just hard to try if, like me, you're not on AWS. I'm sure that most people are so I'm not suggesting it's an inappropriate restriction for the free tier. Really cool and congrats on VLDB!

Perhaps, though you would be wrong about the state of things - Korea had a fairly big manufacturing base when taken over by Japan, so in a way they had more infrastructure already built that just needed to be repaired or upgraded.

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule

“Capitalism” being called as a reason for success sort of also implies that there is something strong and special about Koreans in that they can make it work, where there are countless other examples of capitalistic societies leading to massive corruption - and indeed Korea has massive megacorps owned by just a few families that are de facto governments in themselves.
You still have early voting if that is a complaint.
There are basically three kinds of voter fraud: in-person voter fraud, mail-in voter fraud, and outright ballot stuffing. Actual fraud mostly occurs with mail-in ballots. Perceived fraud, judging from my recollection of outrage over supposedly fraudulent election results in the past 20 years, focuses mainly on ballot stuffing. Strict voter ID mostly tackles in-person voter fraud, which doesn't feature prominently in actual or perceived fraud.
You beat me to it by 2 whole minutes haha. I thought it was only me at first, but then downdetector and twitter confirmed.
Insecure enough to attract a significant number of people willing to risk a felony? Sounds like it would need a massive conspiracy (busloads of people faking signatures at multiple polling stations) to impact an election. Especially compared to the impact/effort of burning or "misplacing" a box of ballots.
As he said, more or less. Sorry for being cryptic.

It exists only when people believe it exists. If no one believed in your citizenship, your passport would just be a little notebook with no value. When going from a world without citizenship to a world with it, nothing needs to change outside of the human brain. In that sense, it’s a fiction.

It's authentication vs. authorization just like with computer software.

You go to vote. They check ID to determine whether the person standing there is who they claim to be. Then they check the voter registration rolls to see if that person is eligible to vote.
The autonomic system responds not to lack of oxygen, but to a rise in carbon dioxide levels. (More specifically I think it has something to do with pH, which decreases as carbon dioxide increases.) So as long as you can expire carbon dioxide, you'll pass out without any sensation of asphyxiation or struggle. You still need to inhale to exhale, though, and the inhaled air needs to have a sufficiently low partial pressure of carbon dioxide.

Your statement reminded me of something I read during my undergraduate courses.

An excerpt of Abraham Lincoln’s seminal work of popular wisdom, “Boom! Goes the Capitalism”:

“Schrödinger's Policy is a seemingly paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger—-after a late Wednesday night of strong ale and copious amounts of poutine—-that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of an early interpretation of quantum mechanics when going from subatomic to macroscopic systems. Schrödinger proposed his "policy" after debates with Albert Einstein over the Copenhagen interpretation, which Schrödinger defended, stating in essence that if a scenario existed where a policy making body within an (ostensibly) benevolent tech company could be so isolated from external interference (decoherence), the state of the group’s work can only be known as a superposition (combination) of possible rest states (eigenstates), because finding out (measuring the state) cannot be done without the observer interfering with the experiment — the measurement system (the observer) is entangled with the experiment.

Einstein reportedly suggested that tech companies could never be benevolent, especially when they are expected to maintain an objective view when their finances were concerned.

After an unknown number of rounds of distilled spirits derived from wormwood, Schrödinger conceded this was true and instead recast his thought experiment to feature a cat as the primary actor; a creature which he felt had a vastly higher likability.”

/hat-tip to the editors of the Schrödinger Wikipedia page

> requiring an ID card to vote in the US

Requiring an ID card without taking steps to ensure those IDs are available easily and for cheap. There are almost no "election security by voter ID" bills that provide the latter. On the other hand, making voter ID mandatory has been accompanied by closure of offices or reduction of hours, increasing wait times and so on. It's clearly a dirty trick.
It's fairly likely that my Twitter thread last month (https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1438265897093763074) is indirectly responsible for this.

I am not convinced this is actually true. GMOs in practice tend to be the introduction of a foreign gene into an organism. Breeding is different; you shuffle ~1 million small effect size variants around and see if you can get a combination that has a bigger effect size. This sounds inefficient, but done right it can have spectacular effects (i.e the green revolution).

I also don’t think we have pushed the limits of breeding yet. It is only in the last decade that genotyping tech has become cheap enough to employ it for a breeding program. Combine that big data analysis with breeding and I bet you can produce some spectacular results within 1 or 2 generations.

I think the massive advantages of shuffling a million variants 1000 times is why GMOs are transgenics and not modifications of the existing genome. Traditional breeding is just so much better at this.

Right.

Fusing things like this makes sense. If you have a year old Chrome that's still running but is blocked from updating itself, it doesn't do some of its security checks, "Huh," it says to itself, "I am out-of-date" and some checks it would normally require are disabled because it has no way to know what should be checked a year later.

This makes it less safe than a brand-new Chrome. But, duh, of course it is, it also doesn't have the last twelve months of security fixes, meaning there are twelve months worth of publicly known security flaws in your browser.

Android's choice in this makes a lot of sense. If you get root trust store updates, then you stop trusting old roots and trust new ones instead but if you're no longer getting updates then just do the best you can with what you have.
