Filling your party balloons with hydrogen is one way to make sure your party goes off with a bang!
> Things-oriented occupations are those that involve extensive work with machines, such as computer programming, repairing machines (e.g., cars), or tailoring

Most computer programming jobs have very little to do with machines as such. Code in high-level languages works mostly with abstract representations of business requirements, and the fact that it's executed on machines is incidental. And if abstract concepts count as "things," then you've stretched an already ridiculously broad category to the point of uselessness. You might as well say "I repair cars for people, so my job is actually about people."

I am a woman, and one of the things I find appealing about programming is the very immateriality of it. It's distinctly unlike something like "repairing machines." You don't have to get dirty, or crawl under anything, or climb a ladder, or carry heavy stuff around. I can see how women might be less interested in "things" when it comes to all that, but not computer programming.

It's pretty clear that these dichotomy is over-generalized to the point that you can build whatever narrative you want. Also, why is it that it only seems to apply when the people-related jobs are low-status? Politicians and executives are mostly men and mostly deal with people. Food-preparation workers deal with things and are about equally men and women, except for head chefs, who are mostly men.
Another “revolutionary” construction company to add to the ash heap of failures.
Not quite--a conventional thermonuclear weapon uses a "tamper" surrounding the secondary, essentially a cylinder of uranium that's designed to eat the spike of x-rays coming off the primary and convert it into a compressive force by ablating away on the exterior. This compressive force generates the pressures necessary to drive the fusion reaction (and is potentially fissile itself, if you use enriched material). It's physically heavy, and bringing that mass to speed requires a pretty powerful primary relative to the overall yield.

It seems that the conjectured Ripple design uses some sort of wave-shaping barrier between the primary and secondary to convert the single massive spike of x-rays into a series of pressure waves that, via constructive interference, are able to compress the secondary directly without the need for the intervening tamper.

Being able to do direct compression this way means you can do away with the weight of the tamper, and since you're applying the force directly you can get away with a much smaller primary (e.g. a 15MT device with a 15kT primary gives you a 99.99% "clean" design).

Still requires the primary though.

> It's not scanning on the client side, it's hashing.

They are (their code is) looking at every item and reviewing it opaquely to us, and deciding if they should have an employee look at tiny thumbnails to tell the cops the owner is a pedophile. Its (a) not real hashing - its "perceptual" which is fancy math that says they're looking at thumbnails and (b) cycling through every item in a list and running an Algo against it is what I'd call scanning - lets not get bogged down on the terms.

We all know the tech details they shared, people on this site all understand the difference. We know the algorithm is easy enough to produce collisions. We know that apple said multiple 3 letter agencies can determine what goes in the bloom filter, and it would be downloaded from the internet and not audited. We know they are going to open it up to other countries governments too. We know that its on if you want to use opt-out services.

> The alternative, as many have pointed out, is them uploading your whole image to be scanned server side.

The whole image is being uploaded server side anyways.

My smart money says that this won't lead to encrypted backups anytime soon. Too many other things in those backups.

> social liability of being a free encrypted cloud storage for CSAM

I don't really think there is much tbh. That said, it is clear people would rather have non-absolutely-private cloud than a non-absolutely-private personal device. I know I would!

People criticize apple for "not letting you own the device" and this is a much bigger step down that road. I would rather a less-absolutely-private cloud service than an absolutely-private-everything where my local stuff is scanned.

> There's lots of reasons to criticise Apple, this isn't one.

> classifiers, but reading this, it sounds like they might be properly called genders too?

No, not quite, classifiers do not introduce a notion of the noun class/gender, and the East/South East Asian languages that make an extensive use them (notably, Sino-Burmese and Tai-Kradai languages) remain being fully analytical languages.

A more apt comparison for classifiers would be collective nouns, of which English (and other Indo-European languages) has plenty, e.g.

– a pandemonium of enterprise architects;

– a tuxedo of Linux kernel developers;

– a dazzle of birds of paradise;

– a shiver of IT consultants;

– etc.

where the implicitly associated noun class/gender of the noun that is the focal point of the expression is «debased» into a collective one and can be applied across the noun class/gender boundaries. Pandemonium, dazzle, tuxedo and shiver are, effectively, classifiers.
> There is a technique that solves both problems!

You have a bizarre and manifestly incorrect view of capitalism.

Collective choices get made within capitalism all the time. Corporations, clubs, cooperatives, unions, associations, etc, cities, counties, countries, etc, are all legally established collective choice making groups. There is also nothing preventing people from forming their own groups by free association.

I think he means that Java is not a small language, rather than it doesn't take up much space in RAM.

Personally, I still think that C is a very good compromise between size (both of the language and of its RAM usage) and it's level of abstraction.

The size of a language can be judged by the size of a definitive text on learning the language. Compare how small the K&R book "The C Programming Language" is [230 pages] compared with (say) the O'Reilly book "Learning Python" [1200 pages].
Are they withholding us taxes or things like social security or Medicare? Or are they withholding the Canadian equivalents? Contractor or on payroll employee? A us-ian files taxes to the us every year but I did not think others outside the us did so.

But you would have to file to recover any taxes withheld or consider them as foreign taxes paid when filing in Canada. Canadian taxes are higher than the us so you should not end up paying the us anything.

You're right although the English 's technically isn't a case marker. You can see this because 's doesn't mark nouns, it marks whole phrases, in things like "the Queen of England's hat." Since it modifies phrases and not single words, while not being a word in its own right, it's a clitic and not a case marker. It does descend from the Germanic genitive case, though.
It would make sense that lead aerosolized in the air has more access to human biology than lead in undisturbed paint.

Degraded lead paint consumed by unknowing children would probably deliver high concentrations, but a lot of that will travel unabsorbed through the intestinal track. Aerosolized lead paint would be unavoidable with a higher proportion passing into the bloodstream through the lungs, and therefore on a more express route northwards where it can pass between the blood-brain barrier.
It’s not odd at all. And the vaccine is safe. Your only plausible argument would be that it’s useless, which we know is not true generally.
I worked at a place where this happened pretty much monthly, in production. Outages, blown SLA $$$, uptime metrics blown. Certain teams’ entire toolbox was a sql script with various query templates commented out, that they tweaked, manually highlighted, and ran. Passwords, configs, user data, all got wiped out this way. No one got fired, no one got reprimanded, the workflow didn’t change despite this happening over and over. And each time the DBA team got to spend a few hours restoring a multi-TB backup so that someone could grab the prior data from the table they wiped out. Middle of the night? No problem, wake up the DBAs and go back to bed, it’s not like there would be any consequences.

> the International Court of Justice gave an advisory opinion stating that there is no source of law, customary or treaty, that explicitly prohibits the possession or even use of nuclear weapons. The only requirement being that their use must be in conformity with the law on self-defence and principles of international humanitarian law.

If a nation notices an incoming nuclear attack, my intuition would be that it is proportionate to respond with a nuclear counter-attack, especially if that stops the aggressing nation from following up with an invasion, or going on to attack other targets. Moreover the possibility of this counter-attack may be the only practical way of preventing the attack in the first place, which seems like the best form of self-defence.

Obviously, though, the ideal number of nuclear weapons in the world is zero, assuming that can exist as a stable equilibrium, but I don't think an ICJ advisory opinion is the right mechanism to get to that outcome.

If X and Y are the same label, they should compare equal to satisfy the Law of Identity.

If you perform two calculations, whose values are coming up as equal, but you didn't check the fact that both calculated the same NaN, that is your problem.

Suppose you are looking for the result of the two calculations being unequal, and they produce NaN (or at least one of them does). That's also false positive. There is no way to get around checking for NaN.

Different languages often require you to use different fonts, there are very few fonts that contain characters for all languages. Ranges using specific languages are tagged with the 'lang' attribute so the browser can use the appropriate font. If you aren't allowed to include any font face rules you lose the ability to handle multiple languages (unless all the languages you care about use codepoints below 255).

Italic and Bold are also separate fonts (albeit in the same family).

Yes, everything you say is exactly why government action on this would've been appropriate as suggested by the comment I originally defended.

Thousands of people and organizations across aviation benefit in terms of retaining the ability to fly more cheaply. This is true across existing infrastructure, vehicles, engines, manufacturing, certification, etc.. Accordingly, it is clear that the industry will not change; "an object at rest"...

Instead, because of government inaction on the topic, presumably because of aviation's ties with the military and wealthy folk in general, these thousands of people and organizations retain their benefit at the expense of everyone else. They simply spray poison from the air in a manner which seems, again, one of the most efficient ways to contaminate the environment with this poison. It is clearly not beneficial to anyone except those in the ingroup, which is a vast minority. Why would government action to force this stale industry be inappropriate?
