In this article, the person featured is intersex, not transgender. This is made clear in the following sentence:

> Zzyym was born with ambiguous physical sexual characteristics but was raised as a boy and had several surgeries that failed to make Zzyym appear fully male, according to court filings.

I support having an "Other" or "X" for the rare few individuals in the intersex category, but the underlying policy change and this article itself group up or conflate intersex with nonbinary and transgender, which makes me think this is more about pushing progressive gender identity politics rather than serving a utilitarian purpose. I don't think nonbinary or transgender people should be declared as "X". The passport specifically has a field labeled "sex". "Sex" means biological sex, and to most people on the planet, even "gender" is the same as "sex". This line on the passport is not meant to be a place to feature "gender identity". It is meant to be immutable to serve as identification. Sex is immutable, whereas "gender identity" is something more like personality, given that there are many that claim they are gender fluid and can have a gender identity that is different day to day, and given that a large proportion of people who feel they might be transgender in their youth end up actually being gay or lesbian.

>Reduced inhibition does not support the thesis of increased agression, unless you define aggression to refer to "aggression shown".

I mean overall increased opportunity for violence. Less inhibition might mean I'm more likely to say "fuck off" to someone rather than just think it. Which could lead somewhere.
This is just coming across as completely ridiculous.

Anyone who has played Factorio knows that "just in time" is far superior to actually holding reserves. If you buffer things up, you don't know where the problems in your production are.

People are saying "why didn't we buffer up more" ? Well, there we go. Play Factorio. You'll see just how bad buffers are in a simulated factory.
Prejudice is also why we’re all here today, it has very well documented implications when it comes to survival among other things.

Ignoring and censoring the truth because it’s mean can be far more dangerous with far more disastrous effects.

Censorship of thoughts is not the way to go - and the pushback, if it stays that way, is going to be worse than we can probably imagine right now.
> They couldn't get the manufacturing for it, either.

A very good point. I think the financing would be less of an issue, honestly; $200 billion a lot of cash up front, but spread out over five or ten years it's well within their FCF if they wanted to allocate it that way.

EDIT: As another comment pointed out, FB might also be able to convince advertisers to subsidize some (or all) of the costs of "free" headsets for the masses, if they wanted to try this scheme.

> feeling... that you do not appreciate that fact.

Actually, I do; at least, I think that galaxies rotations are peculiar, but can be explained by the addition of unobserved matter. And I think inflation is a plausible candidate explation for the smoothness of the CMB. And I note the evidence that the universe's expansion appears to be accellerating, but I wonder is that is an observational error (rewally, I don't know - nobody I know is a physicist, or even interested in cosmology).

So I'm an armchair cosmologist; same as I used to be an amateur astronomer. We serve a purpose: amateur astronomers are usually the first to spot new comets, because they have a wide perspective.

I'd consume more material about cosmology, but it's generally either dumbed-down mass-media crap, or something about Lagrangians. I'm not a maths graduate, I did Philosophy. None of that invalidates my viewpoint.

> Look at the moral panic over Four Loko. The same cocktail of ethanol and caffeine has been consumed as amaro and coffee by rich women since time immemorial. Yet it never caused moral panic until the “wrong type of people” started consuming it.

You’re not entirely wrong, but a splash of liqueur into a small cup of coffee is pretty different from dissolving caffeine pills in tall boys of malt liquor.

Regardless of whether 'command -v' is a better alternative, 'which' is ensconced as standard practice in many shell scripts, and I would go so far as to say I think the majority of them that actually have to choose between the two use 'which'.

Given that, having it print out a deprecation warning without considering what that means to all the people that use it is irresponsible. I help manage a few hundred servers. We send root email to a list and actually review it all every day. We make sure to sanitize anything run from cron so that we only get email output on error (STDERR). Given that some of those cron jobs run quite often, this would have been thousands of emails to sift through if we used Debian.

There were many possible solutions, as the maintainer notes. Unfortunately in trying to remove themself from the decision, they forced a non-solution on everyone that is disruptive. I can't think of any way this is a good choice for this particular set of facts (I can see a deprecation warning being warranted for some other things, but this case has little to do factually with those theoretical situations).
The only think I don't like about command -v is that it will output the alias if one is set. That is 100% of the time what I do not want.

From my reading of the article I think the ferry is intended to service inter-island hops on Orkney where a 200 car ferry would be overkill.

Also as the article reports, Orkney has an idiotically huge amount of renewable power available, far more than the islands can consume, and far more than the interconnect from Orkney to mainland Scotland can handle. So using it to create hydrogen seems like a fair use of that surplus power.
Maybe you missed the part where FB undermined the US election?

As with other questions of book recommendations:

- What are you reading and why?

- Do you have an goals in reading, or is it merely entertainment / distraction?

- In the latter case, the Cheshire Cat's advice to Alice is appropriate. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/alice-VI.html

- I'd strongly recommend keeping a reading diary or log, which includes not just book read, but books recommended or suggested, either by others or your own past reading. This can include incidental mentions within books (occasional in fiction) or footnoted or bibliographic references (nonfiction).

- Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book concludes with a list of 137 classics. Most of those should have public-domain audio versions. (His book itself is recommended reading, and an HN perennial.)

- Podcasts are another alternative to audiobooks. There are podcasts of book reviews themselves. I'm more familiar with academic ones including the New Books Network, and reviews from the LSE, Yale University, Princeton University Press, etc. Author interviews can be amongst the best available, though production quality (notably for NBN) can vary greatly.

- Long-running podcast series such as the History of Philosophy (now in Western, Indian, and African traditions, with a Chinese tradition forthcoming), or histories of Rome, Byzantium, or China, can also be illuminating. There are years-long back catalogs.

- If you have a visual or reading disability, or live with someone who does, the US Library of Congress's BARD is exceptional, and free.

- The Internet Archive, Open Library, and Libre Vox have numerous audio presentations available for download.

- You can create a library of YouTube content through downloaders such as youbtube-dl, or by streaming directly via mpv. (Both work on numerous other audio/video sites as well.)
> All depends if they can deliver on AR before anyone else.

Nope. It matters only if the gain wide adoption before anyone else. If they do, they become the de facto owner of that space.

They definitely have the resources to do that.
FB is 10 times larger than Twitter, and is diversified across a fairly large number of different platforms.
Not all of them, but that would slow down their hypnotizing ad-feed machine. Baby steps into this direction are way better than the metaverse bullshit that we'll see in a few years down the road IMO.
It just that it is more likely that founders genuinely care about their baby, so they have more incentive to make the company more resilient to long term risks. I don't think this is an absurd claim. It's not that every founder is the same, there are founders who behave just like most CEOs.

> the exact same sentiment I remember reading about Zuck on HN around the time Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions happened

Don't want to downplay it, but having access to all the info users give to FB is like insider-trading. They know very well what is trending, what is growing and what is going nowhere.

The main difference is that Metaverse is something the want to build from scratch, not something that already exists like Insta and WhatsApp, so they don't have that insider-trading info.
You are probably right in your assertion regarding alcohol, however I suspect it may be possible that there are other compounds unique to various flavors of liquor which may influence the overall effects in various ways. These compounds may not be perceptably psychoactive on their own.

The same goes for strains of marijuana, beyond THC and CBD other psychoactive compounds are inconsistently present with uncertain psychoactive effects (if any). Further there may be complex nonlinear interactions (e.g. two compounds produce no effect but adding a third can change the experience, particularly if you consider reaction products from combustion).

In any case the uncertainty is good for marketing.
Probably will.
In some places (including Denmark) encryption is allowed as long as the signal is somehow identifiable (includes your call sign or DMR ID).

I know that some use WiFi outside normal bands (3.3–3.8 GHz) and simply set the SSID to their call sign. This is called HSMR.

My current setup is comcast and att to the net. Internally I've got a DHCP server, with reservations for key equipment (ie do a certificate issuance for these as well) - think proxmox / esxi web interfaces). A few items x.x.x.20 and less static IP (ie, gateway etc).

This system works great. Comcast down? No worries, failover to ATT (and visa versa). Everything works through the NAT, failover is seamless.

I've spent a bit of time naively trying to get ipv6 to work as smoothly. The way IPv6 addresses are handed out, auto-change, are typed etc. It's just no where near as smooth.

We needed IPv5 - I basic extension to address range - that's it. Just add another 0-255 at the beginning or end of things and be done.

My other complaint. Desite supposedly having more ipv6 addresses, my ISP WILL NOT give me a static block / prefix etc.

In other words, there are enough IPv4 addresses that I can get a block of 5 static IPv4 addresses, but CANNOT pay for a static IPv6 block. What's the limit / issue with giving me a static IP prefix if I'm willing to pay? Seriously...

I feel like proponents of Ipv6 have not actually tried to use it at the consumer / prosumer / small business level.

I'm curious as to what changed PGLAF's mind. Blocking those specific works was all that the court ordered 3 years ago. Blocking everything was PGLAF's own decision based on perceived risk of further lawsuits about other works. Nothing has really changed to decrease that risk. The plaintiffs may have agreed that those are the only works they own that were in violation, and won't sue about anything else, but any other German who hold the copyright to works are still valid there but not the US still could.
The design doesn't need to be great for an educational site. More frontend tasks can be done to change the css with a library like tailwind ui and it will look better, doing css from scratch is harder but cheaper than the $200 tailwind download. The hardest part of this application is done.
No, no, no!

Stockpiling is not a solution to a bottleneck!

In the grand scheme of things, having a couple weeks of extra inventory on hand will not help you weather a 100 year storm. But it will increase waste - inventory that you have to throw away when there are defects or when they become obsolete.

Imagine trying to predict the run on lumber, and the solution was to have kept a bunch of lumber sitting in yards rotting waiting for the off-chance that there was a sudden unexpected demand. The proposal that we should have been shipping over more of everything, building giant strategic stockpiles across the country of everything, and then tossing out 10-15% of everything from storage loss is bonkers.

Just In Time manufacturing reduces waste and improves quality across the board. And stockpiling only hides your bottlenecks!

Why would anyone be passionate about any specific corporation?

Speculating that it's perceived risk mitigation. If you're perceived as loyal, helpful, and even somewhat capable, they'll keep you around! This is in fact the perfect role for that person who gets a lot of juice out of supporting someone else achieve their goals. It is also probably a personality thing.

Of course, you have to answer a generalization of your own question: why be passionate about anything? It doesn't seem to be a necessary, or indeed very useful, to improve darwinian fitness.
Maybe. But the internet grew organically, over decades. It was not shoved down our throats by a corporation telling us “this is cool, this is what everyone wants now, and this is the future”. I’m sure VR/AR will be big too, but it’s going to take a while, many technological breakthroughs, and it’s not going to look like that.
Really not true. The same number of people will know Facebook as owning them as do now. Like now people are like, "you know Instagram is owned by Facebook right?"

That's not going to change.

Simply allowing private citizens to bring forth any charges that the police is allowed to bring forth would suffice.

If a police officer can issue a ticket for making too much noise, or bring someone to court for polluting too much there is no reason why any other citizen should be prohibited from doing the same on the exact same terms.
Is shake and bake easy? Seems pretty trivial
JIT works nicely in isolation--when everyone relies on it is when it starts to break down. It basically offloads the responsibility of forecasting your inventory needs to the supplier, who has absolutely no knowledge of your inventory needs.

There's an entire book (I've read it) about this called "The Machine That Changed The World" published in the early 90's. It goes into great depth as to the issues that were plaguing GM/Ford etc. The excess inventory was absolutely not driven by too little demand. It was simply inefficiency in the manufacturing process and inability to rapidly reconfigure the shop floor or reallocate labor towards bottlenecks.

The book is a deep, academic examination of the roots of lean production, and is a must read for any engineer who wants to get the Agile cultists to shut up and go away. I'm a hardcore believer in the ACTUAL Agile philosophy, which is rooted in lean, and I despise the cult of clerics that have risen up around it and turned it into management consulting BS. That book helps to know real agile from consultant billing hours agile.
Well, why don't you just do that?

I mean, there's a huge set of local IPv6 addresses for you to use, and odds are all of your computers are already using some (maybe more than 1). You don't need a NAT box at the network edge to set a private network. And iptables support what you described without a problem.

But most people prefer to allocate the public addresses to the actual computers, not route them by demand. So the edge machine acts only as a firewall. It's easier, and there are enough addresses.
I read that as instrumentation, not control.

The AWARE Development Plan
I'm going to hold off as long as possible before being forced by silicon valley giants to use ipv6. I do not wish anyone to know how many devices or which device I'm browsing from. NAT is a casual layer of privacy and provides commonplace plausible deniability. IPv6 eliminates that for no personal benefit.
This. Also, the tweets complain about not having excess capacity due to the "obsession with return on investment", but that's really just an abstraction around the fact that extra capacity means using more limited real-world resources to supply people with the same amount of stuff - more land, more steel and concrete and construction labour and equipment to build the extra factory and shipping capacity that goes unused - which then can't be used for other things. The tweets frame it as though it's only finance types and investors that benefitted from this, but in reality everyone was better off in real, "what can I afford to buy with my money" terms due to it.

Not sure if that would fix all the problems.

I think the SEC (or Congress, if legislation is required) should prohibit publicly traded companies from having dual-class shares with a 10 to 1 supervoting ratio. Some of the problems with FB are probably caused by Zuckerberg being accountable to no one.
No, they literally cannot. Because if they try to, they will be fired by the board for failing to perform and replaced with someone who will undo their work.
I think, that the first step should have been treating social media platforms as media companies. This would be enough to hold them accountable for their impact on the society.
Agreed, the MW definition does not seem to be correct.

Well, the splash screen says "Whatsapp from Facebook", and the description on the Google Play store starts with "WhatsApp from Facebook is a FREE messaging and video calling app."
