Here is how I took it. I watched it the day it came out before I read the outrage.

I am a southern raised white male. I have seen Dave live. I HAD been a fan of his stuff. I had some issues with his comedy in the past but nothing that made me avoid it.

However, this special rang different to me.

This special felt the same as white dudes I have heard my entire life. White dudes who would say racist shit and turn around to say they aren’t racist because they have black friends.

I felt Dave did the exact same with his trans friend. He used that friendship to try to shield his comedy.

Look, Dave doesn’t need our money. He doesn’t need any fucking person supporting him. Dude has so much money it doesn’t matter. So I do wonder why so many people are so desperately trying to defend transphobic comedy routines?

Stand away from the comedian and take a stand on what Dave’s actual views are. Own them yourself and defend those views. I think in 20 years you will look back and realize you held shitty views or at least society will

It's rather disingenuous to point at the increase in murders like that, given how 2020 saw a huge spike in murders year over year for the general population.

So 44 trans people were murdered in 2020, out of a total of 21,570 in the US [0]. Estimates for the trans population range from 0.39% [1] to 0.58% [2].

That's about 2-3x lower than we'd expect, as a population of that size with an equivalent murder rate would have 84-125 homicides per year.

If we zoom in on black trans people and compare them to the black population as a whole, 27 were murdered compared to 9,941 for the black population [3]. Doing a bit of napkin math, and with the assumption that the rate of transgender identification is the same in the black and non-black populations, and using 46.9 million for the black population, we get:

21.2 murders / 100k for the black population

16.2-24.1 murders / 100k for the black trans population (using 0.58% for the first figure, and 0.39% for the second).

So the surprising conclusion seems to be that the trans population has a significantly lower homicide victimization rate compared to the general population, and black trans population has a slightly lower rate than the black population.

And if anything, I'd expect this gap to expand once correcting for age (the trans population skews younger) and the rapid increase in trans identification over the few years.

> Most math textbooks contextualize it like that

I'm all but certain mine didn't. For sure there was the odd contextualization and examples of real world applications here and there but definitely not enough and definitely not interesting or fascinating ones.

Eg if there was one for trigonometry it would have been something lame like "Alice is standing in the field some distance from Bob and Billy. Calculate the distance based on <trigon blabla>"

Hardly riveting stuff :P

Yeah, I believe ideally, you'd use the right-hand modifiers when pressing keys on the left hand side, and vice versa.

I think the asymmetric, row-staggered layout that keyboards have discourages this.

Though, a fancy technique many keyboard-enthusiasts will use is to have dual-use keys. e.g. Tap-Hold dual use. The key acts the same when tapped, but acts as a modifier key when held.

e.g. changing Capslock key to escape when tapped, Ctrl when held is probably the easiest to think of.

The best use of tap-hold is for Home-Row modifiers. Putting alt/command/ctrl/shift as modifiers of asdf (and symmetrically, jkl;).

> It is entirely possible that Dave could be a great friend to Daphne and be transphobic at the same time

He says as much in the special, but the message that the hyper-offended mob seems to miss is that in the end of the special he realizes that Daphne’s trans identity was secondary and frankly unimportant to her identity as a human and comedian. Basically realizing he came to view Daphne pretty much as Daphne wanted to be viewed and how she viewed herself.
Wow, what shock!

In Germany, there's a phrase "Lügenpresse" translates to "lying media" but to use it labels you as an alt-right twerp and the whole argument is disregarded as such.

There's no real solution other than for people to stop relying on passive absorption of information, and to enforce open transparency in communication networks (ie, Internet) no matter what negative news gets revealed.

But nobody wants that either. Is it better to believe a lie and "trust the system"?

I think most would say yes.
I did need a sqrt, but I cared more about predictability than accuracy, so I just did an iterative algorithm (actually two - one for the integer part, and then a second one to get better precision)

Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program, not 20 years ago and not now. This has been proven again and again. Even the CIA confirmed as much and told this to Bush and every other president since.

Iran has the best monitored nuclear industry in the world by a large margin. Iran is a signatory of the non-proliferation treaty (unlike US or Israel) and always had the proper monitoring.

The Iran nuclear-weapons is pure political thing power play by the US. It has nothing to do with nuclear weapons and everything with Iran not wanting to accept US power.

Iran literally didn't even want to do this infrastrucutre. They had a deal with France to provide them with low enriched nuclear fuel, and France would then take the spent fuel back. All this monitored by the IAEA according to international non-proliferation standards. The US got involved and prevented any such deal.

Only then Iran then started trying to make its own fuel instead. They literally had zero infrastructure to do any of that stuff. The US basically forced them to develop the infrastructure themselves. As soon as they did this, US started claiming they were building nuclear weapons.
Look at the booming US steel industry we have today!

> Yes, why shouldn't it go to the same dataset?

I didn't say it should or shouldn't, I was just asking about the data you are using.

> Sure, they can drive only in routes that are less difficult. But they have a product to develop (a public robotaxi service) and areas to expand. So they don't really have an incentive to exclusively work towards artificially reducing disengagement rate.

Oh they absolutely do if people buying their shares, their services, employing them, or writing legislation, or just general public attitudes are influenced by this data.

The marginal cost of cars is so low given the costs involved that it would be trivial to add easy miles while still doing difficult routes to develop the product. Including doing most of the difficult work in other states.

> Nope, I indeed mean they are better than Tesla. There are no other (aspiring or current) L4+ systems that don't use lidar. When Tesla used to report disengagement rate in CA, they were still worse than their competitors. That and the tons of YouTube videos showing FSD being unable to handle basic scenarios tells us their current disengagement rate is far worse than competitors.

Okay, so not the objective data I wanted but thanks for helping.

> What they should be really doing is start being transparent and report safety data like everyone else.

I don't think this is really a matter of transparency given all the problems with the data and tests we've just identified. When the products and are made available to the public that would be a different matter.
The principle here should be the same as the principle of proper auditing.

Take the population of x , then sample y and if the sample passes the tests then you have z degree of confidence of projecting the results of the sample over the entire population.

>we've spent a ton of money on our anti-ICBM missile shield which is now useless.

Isn't this how the USA broke the Soviet Union, by developing advanced weapons that forced the Soviet's to try to compete and bankrupting them? The USA will likely go ahead with the anti-ICBM shield because there are still ICBM's around, but now the USA's hypersonic missile program will also be accelerated (as well as a counter hypersonic missile program?), just as the Senate is haggling over how many trillions to spend on other existential issues. So one prototype hypersonic missile launch by China may cost the USA a lot. Very asymmetric effect. A few more like it and the USA might start to feel the money pinch. Can't say this was intentional, but the timing of it may directly affect the amount of money spent on repairing USA infrastructure and fixing other internal problems given the hawkishness of some politicians, raising social discontent. Maybe another demo of a satellite killer is next? Just speculation on my part, though it seems to make some sense as a strategy. The USA military has a self-professed strategy of always being the best and ahead of everyone else. That costs a lot, and that cost can be a vulnerability.

I think you and many of the comments below are missing a critical point: the employees are objectively in the wrong here. This is not about labor conditions or abuses or something, it's about a group trying to censor content and impose ideology on others. You'd have a point if this was Netflix not allowing breaks or something, but it's really just censorship. If there was a group of christian employees walking out over non-Christian values in a show, would you still support it as "people first"? Censorship is censorship, whatever the ideology behind it, it's up to me what I want to watch, not employees at the infrastructure provider
Here's a simple example finding a hidden seed. It takes around 1, 2, or 3 values in a row and finds the seed. You can adapt this to all sorts of breaking problems, but for some you'll have to learn more about SATs and be careful how you code things. Note the simple PRNG I chose doesn't reveal all the state, yet over time you can deduce all of it.

…and nothing of value was lost.
Really depends on the baseline, it’s easy to accidentally write something that would take billions of years to finish on real data but is fine for a mock-up. Caching often seems like the first optimization simply because systems tend to already be optimized enough to be useful.
Don't use stdfix.h if you are doing this though. As soon as you need to change your headroom (even temporarily within an algorithm), it will be a pain. Just use the boring C90 types (possibly typedeffed to something else) and write the operators you need.
At least IMO, the neat thing about these isn't a privacy thing, it's that when you don't have an identity associated with the usage of your service, you have to answer some interesting questions (data persistence? Rate limiting? Cost, or is it low enough that it can just be free for everyone anonymously? Etc) which make the solutions fun to check out

The US, contrary to your claim, is a party to the NPT, but as one of the five recognized nuclear powers under the treaty it applies somewhat differently to the US.

The friendship will tolerate what it will, until it can't. I think situations like these occur all the time, but unless one side shows more empathy or understanding, the friendship doesn't tend to last. I believe Dave's friendship with Daphne changed him. I think this is further supported by him saying at the end of the special that he won't be making anymore jokes about LGBTQ+ people until he knows everyone's laughing together. That to me, sounds like someone who was changed by a friendship. Whether he stays true to his words, we'll have to see.

re "holding up the fix", another possibility is that Waymo wasn't aware of the problem, right?

If the cars were able to---albeit slowly---cope with the closed streets through this kind of cumbersome queueing in a dead end and turning around, it seems possible that Waymo might not have been aware there was an issue.

The interests of society are not served by a group of activists with extremist views trying to impose their values on the entire planet by leveraging the fact that they work for a global brand, and then trying to use that leverage to deplatform anyone who offends them.

The sourcing here seems incredibly thin. Who says 1,000 employees are walking out? Variety links to another Variety article as a source for this statement, which in turn links to a Verge article as the source. The Verge article says nothing about 1,000 employees walking out, and contains only a single, anonymous claim that they characterize as,"a leader of the trans ERG in an internal organizing message."

It would be interesting to see how many actual Netflix employees are outraged enough by a comedy routine to walk out on their jobs.
