Well, then, that’s on me for misrepresenting it. Let’s try again.

You can see desire to comply with gender norms as a constant X and starvation risk Y as a variable. Appropriately scale each and measure X-Y. That can go positive or negative depending on Y without X varying at all.

I want to eliminate this explanation as significantly causative. Where would I find evidence for that?
If they're doing intercepts on every package they're (hopefully for their sake!) using a negotiated rate. It would be a very non-standard use of intercept regardless. Even at $20, still cheaper than receiving and reshipping (labor + postage).

>Is there as much of a gender "confusion" (for lack of a better word) in parts of the world that use languages that have gendered nouns?

As someone who speaks a Slavic language with masculine, feminine and neuter genders (Croatian), I've never heard of anyone identifying as non-binary in my language. It'd be extremely difficult because all adjectives and verbs in some tenses change based on the gender of the person in question. Singular they wouldn't work because it's already used to formally refer to someone (similar to German Sie). You'd have to rethink half of the language to not gender someone, which no one is going to do for such a niche problem.

One thing I see Anglophones do when talking about other languages is confuse neuter gender for gender neutral, which equates to calling someone an "it".

>...English doesn't use gendered nouns so maybe we have less deeply entrenched ideas about gender and what is masculine or what is feminine...

That's another thing Anglophones get wrong. At least in my language, when not talking about people, 99% of the time the gender is determined by the ending (suffix?) of the word it's referring to, not some mystical gender role we imbue that object with. When using the word human, the rest of the sentence refers to them as male, whereas if you're using the word person, it'd be female even if you're using them to talk about the same guy.

One other thing is, when referring to a mixed group of people, you use a masculine form of plural, same as "latinos". It REALLY doesn't matter and it only bothers people who don't speak gendered languages.
We have different users ( at least those that cared ) getting a new M1 MacBook Pro points out how the keyboard is slightly different to the Magic Keyboard in MBA M1 and 2020 x86 MBP.

They are sold at a loss or at best at cost. $200 is possibly extreme, but I couldn't find a BOM estimate for Quest, so it could be much higher than that. This isn't unusual, most game consoles are sold at a loss initially. Also, even though I said "Quest" in my first post I meant "Quest 2" as the original Quest is being phased slowly out, and Quest 2 has sold significantly more units. The current retail price of the 128 GB model is $299, and 256 GB model is $399. So if you're bothered by my price difference assume I was talking about Quest 2 256 GB sold at cost. Regardless, it would cost them more than they want to spend. If you watched the keynote yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg specifically mentioned not wanting to lose too much money on hardware while still selling it at the lowest price that makes sense... Giving away hardware for free is the complete opposite of that strategy.
There's a level of paranoia and distrust that's endemic to many suburbs. I've met a lot of suburban residents who genuinely fantasize about society collapsing so they can shoot their hungry neighbors if they come knocking.

This is one reason I really hope they end up adopting Capacitor for the iOS and Android output. Capacitor has all those iOS-specific integrations that enable an app to be accepted into the stores, and they'd get all of that for free but could still keep the core PWA-to-native experience the way they want.
Because Hebrew is gendered Meta (מתה) technically is "she is dead". However that transcription is incorrect and arguably (מטא) is the right one. Those phonics are actually quite common in Hebrew. Similar sounding מטע (Plantation) מטה (Down) מתא(From Cell), מתע (misleading/tricky) could also have been used.
If your phone had a front-facing camera, you never had the use of the full front area. (Unless it was one of the weird ones with a pop-up camera!) A notch lets you use those odd-shaped blank spaces at the top of your phone for junk like a clock, and gives you more space for apps.

There's the Swiss cheese theory of accidents. Each layer may have holes in it, but by having enough layers and aggressively trying to shrink the number and size of holes in each layer, you can get much more secure.

External audits by good teams are a good layer, but neither they, nor any other individual layer is a silver bullet. Good audits do provide a lot of value.
I don't know if it's a snark. It's probably the right thing to provide legally. It's literally the records they have.
> I'm unconvinced that the "best possible person" (if you grant such a thing even exists) is that much different from an average person.

This seems like an absurd thing to believe for anyone who has a solid grasp of how evolution by natural selection works.

Or rather, it's absurd to believe that even a small improvement from the average isn't a HUGE advantage for a person's success in life and genetic legacy.
I can't help but thinking that there is an option in between those two choices.
If that same analogy were applied to Apple, it would be the manipulative and abusive boyfriend in this context.
> Sure, in theory, the distributed system should win, but in practice, it fails more often (due to operator error or unforeseen bugs) than hardware.

Isn't this because of the rampant introduction of accidental complexity whenever you attempt to make a system horizontally scalable - e.g. for whatever reason the developers or the people in charge suddenly try to cram in as many technological solutions as possible because apparently that's what the large companies are doing?

There's no reason why you couldn't think about which data can or cannot be shared, and develop your system as one that's scalable, possibly modular, but with the codebase still being largely monolithic in nature. I'd argue that there's a large gray area between the the opposite ends of that spectrum - monoliths vs microservices.

I actually wrote down some thoughts in a blog post of mine, called "Moduliths: because we need to scale, but we also cannot afford microservices": https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/modulith-because-we-need-to...
>You can also see remnants of the old system here and there in Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Russian, ect.

For example, there are some adjectives in Latin and Ancient Greek, which only have two declensions instead of three: one common declension for masculine/feminine, and one for neuter.

For example: naturalis (masc), naturalis (fem), naturale (neut), as opposed to novus (masc), nova (fem), novum (neut).
Think about it this way; if the government wants to know something about you, they'll be able to find out. Switching browsers, or search engines, or email providers, or chat apps will not stop them from their goals.

It doesn't become useless though, the menubar is still there. It just makes the menubar black so the notch is less noticeable.
The great majority. In Anglo-Saxon times, England had a population of about 1 - 2 million and several percent were highly literate. There would have been hundreds or thousands of authors in each generation, tens of thousands of priests, bards, etc.

In the generations after, only the manuscripts that impressed, or writings that were the most celebrated as literature, were preserved or duplicated. Those not held in high regard were sometimes recycled for paper, or ultimately lost when the last copy fell apart. Cultural biases play a role too. There wasn't much interest in preserving pagan legends in newly Christianized England, and so much of the Anglo-Saxon literature we do have is from the later period and usually utilitarian or Christian in nature.

The scale of the loss is clearer further south. We have book lists from the Roman and Greek classical era. The playwright Aeschylus is thought to have written about 100 plays, of which 6 survive. Julius Caesar and Aristotle were prolific authors, and celebrated individuals almost continuously since their deaths, and yet the majority of their works did not survive.
What exactly would be between "we put a screen next to the camera" and "we put a bezel next to the camera"?
I don't understand it either, but it can and should have been easily fixed by a built-in OS feature instead of having to get a separate app for it. Android allows this, for example in developer settings for applicable phones.

The GP did: "I actually believe that law enforcement has the legal right to subpoena information, with a judge's consent, while investigating criminal activity. This is exactly the solution to that _problem_." Nothing was said about spotting at large, but the context was subpoenaing information with a judge's consent while investigating criminal activity.
It's just that Apple will have you think that nobody has ever developed a laptop screen with a smaller bezel, and thus the revolutionary and innovative approach is to just obstruct the display.

The macbook has basically gone from having a comically huge bezel to something people will consider a nuisance.

Dell did similar with the XPS 13 when they put the camera lens on the bottom corner of the screen, and it wasn't too long before they sorted that one out.
A college degree also signals something: that you stuck with something for years, and finished it, and that your college believes you learned something along the way.

Haidt and Lukianoff: The Polarization Spiral
I strongly encourage folks to think about the the notch not as "space taken away from a 14in display" but rather that a smaller display was expanded to fill all usable space. macOS UI paradigms lend themselves very well to a notch in the top, as top area can be split into two regions, one for menus and one for status widgets as we have long been doing anyways. Just like iOS utilizes the left region for time and the right region for status.

I think with a couple of usability tweaks, and giving folks a little while to get used to it, they'll get over it. And probably really like it.

Kvetching will continue until boredom ensues.

It's not a mistake at all. They understand nuclear yields fine. The exact effects are complicated by wave reflectiins off Earth, changes in the atmosphere at different altitudes, etc. but basic cube law is a decent approximation. The bomb fills a volume of space, the cube of the increase of the radius of damage. The radius of damage is a linear measurement.

I wonder what API call it uses to make the menubar black.
It seems to me that an awful lot of money that could be spent on cinder block walls, razor wire, and private security is instead fueling pipe dreams of avoiding those things with some sort of matrix-type escapism.

I would bet that they get more long-term traction out of the walls, razor wire, and hired guns.

The most telling thing about these projects to me are how sheltered the bubbles of existence are for tech execs and their financiers.

Do they think there won't be heroin or meth addicts because of VR? Do they think that neurotic kids raised on legal meth (ADD pills) and legal heroin (anti-depressants) will suddenly be happy to go to work and shuffle the spreadsheets because there's VR goggles in the middle? Do they think VR headsets will make people want the soylent green when there's not enough farmable land left to feed the world's growing population? Do they think it'll be harder for a burglar to knock them over the head and take their stuff when they're zonked out on sleeping pills and alcohol, being aimlessly driven around town by their hopelessly lost Tesla which just had its GPS antenna fail?

All of those things aren't abstract things that "just happen." They are created by the current culture. How ignorant must the current culture's tech execs and finance execs be of their own shadows, to think they can just put sunglasses on and make those things disappear?
For reference, this is how the notch works with menus and status bar items. https://twitter.com/SnazzyQ/status/1453143798251339778

I think categories need to be more granular.

'doctors'

A quick LinkedIn search for Surgeon shows that about 70% of surgeons in the SFBA are male.

80% of pediatricians are female.

'engineers'

50% of SQE were female.
I take a similar approach. I usually want to see what I'm about to change before I change it, so I'll SELECT * FROM ... WHERE ... , then go back in the command history and delete the SELECT FROM.
Personally the thing that really ticks me off is that they
"don't allow" you (aka will boot your app if they catch it) to flow content smoothly around the notch.

The way it was presented to developers was super obnoxious and, honestly, I don't think anyone would care if their phone was half a centimeter taller. People didn't loathe the iphone back when it had a screen between two bars of utility space.

Signal stores messages on their servers until they're delivered at which point they're purged.

Additionally, Signal's encryption scheme gives their messages the "forward secrecy" property which means that acquiring key material at some point in the future does not allow you to decrypt any previous messages. Any encrypted messages that they could provide would be useless.

we put a small bezel next to the camera
no I thought people were using this to push their menubar down below the notch and making the space on the left and right of the notch unused. Which was incorrect!
Well, nobody has without terrible cameras. On launch day, some people were saying, "Well, Razer did it!" but Razer's webcam quality is absolutely hot garbage by comparison to even the old 720p Apple webcams.

It's either notch and good camera, bad webcam and no notch/bezel, no webcam and no notch/bezel, or a thick bezel and good camera. Take your pick.
No, I don't think so. Organic compounds still formed just fewer.

FAA approves hundreds more engines to use unleaded avgas
You can still say that many of those things (memories, feelings) are material impressions or tendencies in the brain. But cognition itself must have an immaterial component, because it deals with immaterial realities (justice, truth, abstracted quantities and shapes, etc.) That's the Aristotelian and Thomistic theory.
It's a semantically better thread-local var[1] + a slightly more one-way thread interruption of sorts[2].

It's a performance nightmare when you put too many layers on it, but to some degree: meh. If that's your performance bottleneck, you have many options.

[1]: In that it's request-local and explicit, which makes it both clearer and much easier to control. For pure "optimize for fewer memory movements or cross-thread locks" purposes, go has nothing, you have to trust the runtime to schedule efficiently. Except maybe runtime.LockOSThread().

[2]: You can always make a new context that's not cancelled, or just not look at the Done channel. But by accident you get better cancellation behavior than e.g. java's thread interruption, because everyone still uses `catch (Exception e) { println(e) }` despite decades of education to not do so.
Besides that the notch is aesthetically displeasing, it's also impractical when you end up with more notifications than can even fit in the area left over.

And yeah my phone is one of the "weird" ones with a pop-up camera. Solves the problem nicely.
They're modifying the current desktop image, adding a rectangle of black the size of the menu bar along the top. Menu bar transparency takes care of the rest.
Right because until some bar that can never be met is satisfied, let's let anything go? Sorry, that's not the society I want to live in.
I seem to be able to change the fingerprint through triggering a fetch in the JS console on every `/signal/...` url found in the stylesheet while it is "gathering data". I'm guessing that adding some randomness on the fetches in an extension could probably fool CSS-based fingerprinting, granted you're handling all `url()`s found in all CSS... which is pretty overkill.

"I am arguing that in nearly every case, the audit would just be a copy paste of the same data the solidity developer would see when they ran the open source tooling."

That's not been my experience with good audits. Automated tooling only gets you so far. We use open source automated security tooling, unit tests, and and some formal proving, and audits have found things these didn't.
I remember reading about mPesa back in the day, and the article was talking about how there wasn't really any choice but to do SMS payments because there wasn't infrastructure for anything else. It's next gen, but also kind of the opposite of that...

> Are there any major non Tesla EVs in the US?

A few. Chevrolet will sell ~30,000 EV units this year in the US.

And this is getting some attention:

https://www.caranddriver.com/chevrolet/bolt-euv

Chevy needs to get that price down to $25k-$26k (their Trax ICE vehicle that the Bolt EUV looks like is $21k base).

The Ford Mustang EV will sell 20k units this year, or just over that.

The Volkswagen ID.4 will sell maybe 13k-14k units this year.

Nissan Leaf 10k units; Audi EVs 8k-9k units; Hyundai EVs 8k-9k units; Porsche Taycan 8k-9k units (the Taycan is now outselling the 911 in the US market).
I think another issue is that there are plenty of robust, battle-tested building blocks such as databases for monolithic, vertically-scalable applications, but much fewer for horizontally-scalable ones, meaning you'll need to roll your own (at the application layer) and most likely screw it up.
There are plenty of people who disagree with the tradeoff who aren't raving lunatics. Any tradeoff will please some people and displease others - it's irrational to assume the displeased are always same people, and are therefore un-pleasable hypocrites. Don't cast aspersions with so little regard.
