Nope, I wouldn’t agree, sorry.

You’re attempting to redefine the gender characteristic “man” in terms of physical sex characteristics “male”, which isn’t valid; this invalidity is proven by the existence of both intersex men and intersex women.

You’re also using the invalid term “biological sex” to refer to “sex at birth”, which can be male, female, or intersex — but due to your imprecise phrasing, your use could also refer to “current sex”, which is a modifiable state that can be altered surgically and thus invalidates your point further.

Minor49er, I don’t think you’re participating in good faith here. You’ve presented a view that doesn’t stand up to the facts after repeatedly being confronted with them in multiple threads, your concluding question “Don’t you agree?” is a direct quote from the sealioning comic, and you’ve asked the mods to delete this post in a different thread while continuing to engage here. You’ll need to shop your anti-trans trolling elsewhere, as it’s not productive for me to engage with you further.

Absolutely it is (I always double check the mirror and crack the door first, even as a passenger) but it's defense in depth, and as a cyclist, if someone's going to open the door anyway, I'd rather be able to see it that assume they've seen me. I have lights, but as a driver, I also know that even the brightest bike lights can by surprising easy to miss.

Also, speaking as a cyclist, it can be surprisingly hard to see an opening car door in the dark. The side of the inside of a door is the same colour as the bodywork, so this is not as obvious as you might always expect.

It's also not only cyclists who can see this - cars with their light on will see it too, and since I'd quite like my car to continue to have a full set of doors, this is a win for me too.

Also, the car carries passengers and is not always driven by me. While obviously, I am completely perfect and am obviously physically incapable of fucking up, I cannot guarantee they will not open their doors badly, so I might as well make an effort to mitigate it in case they do.

Loss of productivity isn't due to WFH though.

It's a combination of factors, including the mental and physical strain of living through a pandemic. This includes many people being ill, managing long Covid, losing friends and family, struggling through home schooling, missing sports and activities, and in some cases having your support network suddenly taken away (such as addiction groups or parenting support groups).

It is an oversimplification to lay this at the door of WFH, which has been hugely successful for many industries, including technology.

Not having the resources and support to WFH successfully is another case though...

I am assuming your comment was in good faith, although it's odd for an HN user to ask a question that could be answered by a simple google search.

I also note your highly loaded language of "race wars" which is not the same thing as a what everyone else is talking about in this thread.

The term "race wars" is a term that is frequently used by online right-wing agitators in order to derail discussions and push people's buttons. I'm not saying you're doing that, I am saying that it's not possible to distinguish your post from a post written by a ultra-right troll.

How do I know this? Because in college I was trained by right-wing activist to use exactly that type of language in order derail conversations.

I got through all of school, including two professional degrees, organizing all of my notes chronologically. It worked really well for me — right up until I tried to write a novel, hah.

I think the "best process" is driven by goals — my husband gets by just using notepad and plaintext files, because he and I have very different goals with our notes. He's a software developer, and I'm a nerdy scifi author.

As long as his code is documented clearly, he mostly doesn't need a system more complicated than some .txt files and browser history search. Me? I've got way too much going on, and I need to be able to follow reference chains so I can figure out what the heck I was thinking six months ago when I wrote the thing I'm trying to publish.
I find there's plenty of discussion on all those points on HN to call it about even in my experience.

Some topics do come up more often than others, but that depends on the article.

That's definitely not true in general, in fact my impression has always been the exact opposite. France, in particular, has a very large number of distinct municipalities (called communes). Paris proper includes only the very high-density central and historical core of the city. The inner ring suburbs still appear very urban. Compared to New York it would be like comparing the 5 boroughs = 1 city with the entire Paris region which probably contains dozens of distinct municipalities.

When it comes to slowing down or stopping, getting car drivers to slow down or stop is nothing compared to trying to get bicycles to so do. The vast majority of cars will stop at an intersection. The vast majority of bicyclists will not. Ask a car to respect a very slow limit in a school zone? No problem. For fear of tickets most every car will slow down. But ask a bicyclist to respect a school zone or stop at a pedestrian crossing and they will stare in bewilderment. A speed limit? For a bicycle?

(As a kid I was ticketed while on rollerblades for speeding in a 15kph zone. In many jurisdictions the rules apply to everyone.)
My first Linux box was a 386SX with 3 megs of RAM. This was in the 0.99.x kernel days. I later upgraded to a 486/100 with 16 megs. Linux (Slackware, kernel 1.0!) ran like lightning on that thing, including X and an early browser like Netscape. I would often have over a dozen users logged in remotely (telnet...) Things are incredibly bloated today.
The risk of unpatched vulnerabilities between now and the next "major release" far exceeds the risk of inconveniencing anyone foolish enough to rely on the system Python 2.7 installation.

You make an assumption that the way your system and method of working is the same as everyone else on the planet. It is not.

I have two tools that I use monthly which require python 2.7. The people who made the tools never updated them to work with 3. For this reason, I have a work box that I cannot upgrade.

I know that Macs are aimed at end users, and not developers, but it really is getting harder and harder for me to use my Macs for the kind of work I do. Each major software update borks my virtual hosts. PHP has been removed, and because of code signing requirements, adding it back is so complicated it takes an entire day and filtering through a dozen half-baked online tutorials. No, the ones that say "Just use brew!" are not the answer unless you have a very simple job. I don't use Docker, but from what I read on HN, that's six miles of bad road, too. But as I understand the situation, that's Docker's fault, not Apple's.
You are ok with a bridge collapse every 10 years? Do you understand how rare bridge collapses are today and that this would be a massive increase in the rate of failure?
I think, striving for software to not have a maintenance need if no new features need to be implemented is sound. I am very well aware, that the complexity of any but a trivial piece of software on a trivial piece of hardware is beyond human comprehension.

The general approach of most projects and vendors at the bottom of the stack to not accept full responsibility for their part is striking. The amount of lying, faking, leaky abstractions, adapting but not 100% etc. is so immense it is a wonder we get something done at the higher levels of the stack at all.
I cannot comprehend, how it is possible, to hammer the RAM in such a way, that you can affect neighboring cells charge until the information interpreted based on the amount of charge in the cells is changed. This should never ever be possible. I haven't seen any such disclaimer this was possible on the package or in the data sheet of any RAM module. The same is with changing the kind of magnetic recording in the same hard drive model without notification (or change in model name that would be more honest). And then there are "subtle" problems, like coil whine on mainboards or PSUs for no reason - we know how to fix this. These high pitched sounds can give you headaches without you hearing much or anything. There is no indication about it on the package and almost no review tests this. And the whole Meltdown and Spectre type of bugs is just the cherry on top with major performance regressions because of it. So how are you supposed to write reliable software on top of all this if just a tight loop might actually change the state of hardware in such a way that is becomes a problem? I mean, this is just crazy.
Don’t use pyenv?
Yeah, and it’s been years or decades since you wanted to use the bundled software on MacOS for stuff that was important. Them removing Python 2 probably will fix more problems due to multiple Python installs than it will break anything. I tend to get a lot of support questions on “how to make this Python thing work on my Mac laptop” and I have seen some screwed up things.

I'm not convinced there is no theory of a just riot, at least inasmuch as the majority of riots in history seem to have non-participating academic types willing to explain explaining why the anger was in this case justified. (Some of it's pretty ad hoc rationalisation, but lots of "just war" claims are too). Plenty of theory about how much rioting is too much rioting too.

It's just that most people who believe a cause justifies a riot (whether that's police killings, blasphemy, a candidate not winning an election or high taxes) want the riot to go beyond a riot and into some sort of actual change. A war is justified as a means to an end; a riot is usually only a small part of that means.

Also, a lot of just war theory boils down to asking religious figures or bodies like the UN for permission, which isn't really practical for your average riot.

I'm not going to argue the ethics, I'm going to argue that these trials are under-powered and insufficient to make bold claims about vaccine efficacy. The trials are in fact not completed until the end of the year, but there is little further information to be gained after dissolution of the placebo group.

Remember, the people defending Ivermectin also argue that it's unethical to do further trials when it is "clearly effective" (according to under-powered studies). Consider that pharma companies deliberately avoid follow-up trials to avoid finding results that don't align with business interest. Remdesivir and Molnupiravir both looked promising in early trials, but were found to be rather ineffective (and dangerous) in later trials.

I don't have a problem with administering drugs/vaccines based on good faith and speculative benefit if that is declared appropriately. Just don't dress it up as "scientifically validated".
No, please, you go first.

I don't have an issue with it as far as Twitter the company goes, but I also don't think things that don't have a public way of reading them without an account should be used as sources on HN. Yes some paywalled content gets posted occasionally, but most of it has a public archive somewhere so others can still participate in the discussion. Otherwise HN will just end up a bunch of different cliques, each commenting on different things that they have access to, which seems to defeat the point of HN. At least to me. I mean, at that point you might as well just have the discussion on Twitter about info posted on Twitter as 100% of people with a Twitter account can participate.

A lot of the things hackers did in the 70s and 80s are now recognized as very oof, as they say, today. As to whether "no harm was done", you disrupted a salesperson's pitch and caused him to think the device was broken. You introduced delays and tarnished the reputation of the product in front of customers, potentially resulting in lost sales and hence, lost revenue.
At my current position I've been using the same 2015 MBP since...2015. As time goes on corporate keeps deciding more security issues exist and they keep shoveling on the 'security' software. So not only is my hardware aging - they're making it worse by artificially slowing it down.

The last agent they installed had a nasty habit of pegging the CPU at 100% and locking up virtual machines for 10-15s at a time anytime there was heavy disk activity. Luckily I still have root on the local machine so I wrote a quick script to loop and kill that process whenever it spawned. I'm not bragging about that, but it is what it is I guess.
Strange, I had something similar happening and they reverted/refunded me/did something (needed the police report first though).

In any case, sorry it happened to you.

Of course it would: but I'm struggling to understand the relevance, here. We do this stuff. They do this stuff. We each want to stop the other from doing it. There's nothing contradictory about it, as I'm not making an absolutist statements regarding ethics or morality.
Haven't read this, but I am a little suspicious already - I am pretty sure I have read theories of just riots - but maybe they're just not produced and published in mainstream academia.

Such theories will most likely be produced by the sort of anarchists who may very well eschew academic publishing.

I would submit that humans cannot easily be ranked from “best” to “worst”; and even the most genuine attempts at doing so will only capture it for a moment in time as both the individuals’ skills and the business’ needs are constantly in flux.

And yeah, I feel you can adequately gauge someone’s skill level across a technical subject area in 4 or 5 simple “how would you” questions. The way they explain it will tell you a lot about their understanding of the subject matter. In the old days (when we were in-person and I was still a technical SME) I would have them use a whiteboard to explain a technical concept to me.

This job is not that hard. I think a lot of companies have an overly fond view of themselves and most of these complex interview processes are for their own ego.
> The fundamental problem is that people running governments are spending other people's money and they never have a problem doing that.

This wording makes that seem passive and that's a key gap in understanding the problem. Almost everyone has high expectations for government services — they want great schools, smooth uncongested roads, safe water, responsive police and fire departments, support for their elderly friends and neighbors, etc. The problem is that fewer people are willing to pay what it takes to actually provide those services, and an entire industry of people misdirecting attention for political reasons — e.g. you'll hear a lot about wasteful spending for stuff which is like 0.1% of the budget but trips someone's political agenda, and they won't mention that you could cut that entire program and it'd fund 2 extra prisoners in jail or a block and a half of street.

The other problem is that a lot of our taxes aren't indexed for inflation or have been actively cut. Things like the gas tax used to pay for a higher percentage of road construction, and the massive tax cuts given to rich people have removed a lot of general revenue, and that means that a lot of what was previously covered by that revenue now has to be paid for in ways which are very noticeable to the average voter: property taxes, use fees (as a Californian, the example I use is that the UC system had free tuition until the 1980s — that shifted the cost to the students which made it FAR more noticeable since it went from what you could do with a summer job to the price of a new car annually), etc.

All of that tends to mean that a politician who runs on a platform of needing to raise taxes to pay for the things we all use will likely lose to the one saying they can cut the mythical “waste & abuse”, and it has to get bad before that changes.
“solely” is the word you are missing.

Right. Most people's experience of film is cheap film, micro formats like 110 and disc film, fast film they needed for poor quality or disposable cameras, etc.

Then collectively our cultural experience of black and white film in particular is of photojournalism, and popular culture's long-term obsession with the allure of the grainy photo; grain suggests interpretations like "immediate", "thrilling", "illicit", "secretive", or "exposé", so it becomes the dominant experience of a film photograph.

These things add up to people not really understanding what film is capable of.

Level of theory as it relates to an-initio QM calculations usually indicates Hartee Fock, MP2 and so on, then the basis set gets specified after.

I also agree that QM doesn't provide much for the cost at this scale, I just wish the term ab initio would be left to QM folks, as everything else is largely just the parameterization you mentioned.

here's the argument that Brad Fitzpatrick (who espoused this idea) gave: at the time, he was creating livejournal and had a bunch of russian hackers building the site. He noticed that every time they made pages load faster or work better, more people used the site (and site growth is the simple most important metric), and that more and more people were coming from countries with poor internet infra.

So, he made his workers use crappy computers and a dodgy network he set up. He claimed it made them make better applicaitons, but I can easily say that if the job hadn't been critically important for me, I'd give my opinion and move on.
