It is clear that you support trans rights and are at some point also conflicted about how that impacts the rights of biological women. I appreciate your post.

As a coach of two nationally ranked club teams (one boys the other girls) and father of three nationally ranked biological girls in their sport I am also conflicted. We have a family friend who is transitioning/transitioned to a woman and I want to be supportive of her.

For me it comes down to this.

There are no biological women competing as men at the world level and dominating a strength/speed (field) sport. At least none that I am aware of. However, I am aware of a handful of counter examples where biological men dominate (sometimes to the point of catastrophic injury) biological women.

As you observe, almost all field sports have different brackets for men and women and as you also observe, sometimes different rules and equipment. My sport is one such sport. Women wear much less safety equipment as a result of the observation that that women are not generating projectiles with speeds in the 160km/h range. In my sport, men are required to wear specific heart protection to guard against fatal projectile injury. Women cannot wear this protection.

This is no joke or exaggeration. it would be reckless to allow biological men to compete with and against biological women with the women's rules and equipment. I will not support allowing biological men to compete against the women's teams I coach nor would I add a biological man to my women's roster.

I know you feel that trans-only or cis-only leagues would be clunky and I do believe at the moment it would be hard for trans-athletes to find places to play as there are comparatively few of them. However, this also casts a spotlight on the problem. There are relatively few biological men competing as women but we already see that there are situations where they dominate to the point of setting international records and causing catastrophic injuries.

Keeping sports fair and competitive for biological women unfortunately needs to come at the expense of supporting biological men who want to participate as women. Hopefully trans-athletes can carve out a niche that supports fair, competitive, and safe play in a widely supported and accessible way but playing at the expense of biological women is not the answer.

I hope that does not make me a transphobe, I don't feel like I am or that I am not supportive but my feelings on women's sports are settled.
Exactly, competitors may well be the source of your problems. It's cheaper (and safer) to trash your competitors than raising your own rankings (with SEO).

Heh yeah well I would probably never actually do a long term bet with anyone over the internet, unless I was well known like these guys are, so they can't really hide.

That said I wish there was a good site that allowed doing bets like this online, where you put the money in up front, and deputize a list of people to be judges to decide the winner. (yes it would typically be shorter term than 8 years, and obviously there would have to be rules for dealing with what happens if the judges aren't all available, incentives to reduce the chance of that happening, and so on)

I imagine anti-gambling laws make it difficult to do such things. But I can wish. It would reduce the number of people making poorly thought out assertions as to the future.

"African Union adopts Swahili as an official working language"
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/african-union-adopts-swahili...

"According to the UN, the language had its origins in East Africa, and Swahili speakers are spread over more than 14 countries: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Comoros, and as far as Oman and Yemen in the Middle East.

Southern African countries such as South Africa and Botswana have introduced it in schools, while Namibia and others are considering doing so."

Unless they didn’t then the deck is yours.
I often find it doesn't take much digging in someone else's life to find out they have lived through something awful or traumatic, either it happened directly to them or to someone very close to them. I'm always amazed people are willing to share their 'sob story' on TV, I think there are a lot of people that wouldn't ever share their stories.
Personally I don’t like paywalls because…

1) the price is too high for the content I consume. Often I will read a single article from a single well known publisher a couple times a month to a couple times a year.

2) I don’t know if I will find the content valuable until after I have read it. Headlines haven’t been of too much help especially lately where some quality content is under click-baity headlines; though sometimes the opposite is true or more often click-bait headlines do accurately reflect the quality of the content.

3) There is a lot of friction to pay even if the price did match my consumption model. And in addition to friction I have concerns with how my personal information might be used or resold; Creating an addressable audience via first party data is a tactic being pushed by advertisers and marketers.

So while I do agree with your evaluation I think the problem is a bit more nuanced (or maybe I’m just the minority).

Some have suggested a “spotify for news” which checks many of the above boxes but creates its own privacy concerns, may incentivize low quality content in the way ads do, add walled garden concerns, and may introduce fair compensation concerns.

An “open” solution, as hand wavy as that sounds, seems closer to ideal but as has been demonstrated time and again may not be competitive enough to “closed” solutions where winner takes all is in effect.

Just some thoughts.
Well that's basically all we do isn't it? Every exe you run on windows, every apt package you get on linux, every docker container, or node module, etc. Just layers and layers of running black boxes that nobody but the original developer knows much about.

But even if you compile it yourself, what exactly are you gaining? Extra work for something you won't look into anyway? You'd think open source stuff would be more peer reviewed, but as a maintainer of a few open company repos it's surprising how much nobody actually cares and will just run whatever.

Most of the time it works fine because the average person isn't a malicious actor, but every so often something gets compromised and it's always discovered by pure chance.
Reframing It
Can confirm, Google was really stingy with their RSUs compared to Apple, but the perks really aren't that good with the exception of the food, which, when speaking to current Googlers, they say the food quality has fallen precipitously. Google at the time I worked there seemed to lean heavily on its reputation to reduce total comp.
Not sure I saw misinformation anywhere. No reporting I saw said the reactors were attacked. The plant was attacked.

Yes and no you have to be better than the median in all categories some of which you have no control over. For example you need to work in a better than median group for a better than median boss in a better than median division with better than median experience.
Because while the "top-tier" media outlets are doing extremely well (NYTimes, WSJ, FT, etc.), everyone else is suffering. Huge numbers of media outlets have closed over the past 20 years and there are now far fewer journalists in the United States. Local newspapers that haven't closed are often operating a skeleton crew. And this trend has consequences: numerous studies have linked the decline of small, single-subject and local journalism to increases in political polarization and local corruption. (I worked at Harvard's Shorenstein Center which did much of the research.)

Dell did not make a thunderbolt monitor in 2017. I'm still not sure if they do. You might be referring to running DisplayPort over USB 3 (with a type-c connector)

USB 3 video is a troublesome way to connect a monitor, with a lot of vendor incompatible techniques for signaling sleep/wake, charging, and obscure limitations on resolution/refresh. For example, for years Dell stated that their USB C monitors were not compatible with Apple devices.

Thunderbolt 3 seems far more reliable, in my experience.

Yeah or it's full because of people being treated for side effects, but the authorities don't want anyone to know about that, so they don't collect data on it or they collect fraudulent data.

See how in Germany the head of an insurance firm wrote an open letter saying his countries stats on vaccine injuries were wildly out of line with claims with vaccine injury billing codes. For pointing this out, his company fired him. Anyone making claims about hospital load change due to vaccines cannot be reliable, for this reason. The data just isn't there and sadly it's deliberate.

why would USA be secret about supporting Ukraine? USA was one of the countries guaranteeing Ukraine's safety in exchange for nuclear weapons release. I would argue USA is not doing enough for what they signed up for.

> The 3f + 1 assumption means these protocols cannot be deployed in open peer-to-peer systems, since they would be vulnerable to Sybil attacks. In contrast, my approach makes no assumption about the number of Byzantine nodes.

I'm confused - probably because I haven't finished reading the paper.

1. Sybil-proof-ness requires a CA [1]. It's orthogonal to whether or not a protocol is BFT. Specifically, the classical BFT protocols "assume" there exist a CA, and then prove their protocols to be BFT.

2. I won't comment whether 3f+1 protocols cannot be deployed in open P2P systems (they can), but "makes no assumption about the number of Byzantine nodes" is weird. This result is valid in a particular system/time model eg. With PKI, in synchronous setting, for any `f` one can achieve consensus in `f+1` rounds using Dolev-Strong. This means you make no assumption about `n`, but the protocol is impractical for variety of reasons eg. large `n`, strong synchrony etc.

I've grown mushrooms as a hobby for 15 years. All myceliated substrates harden when they dry out, regardless of the species of fungi. You are relying on this property when you pack something in it.

All the mycelium packing material examples I have seen involve a variation of packing a mold with myceliated substrate (usually sawdust) and then when the myclieum finishes colonizing the sawdust you dry it out to lock in the form.
I'm about there with my Proton experience.

There are tons of reports on Proton DB (and my experience agrees) where there are slow downs and stutters that just don't happen on Windows. Spyro: Reignited and Batman Arkham City are some recent examples for me.

I've played a few games that I can run at 4K with frame rates I don't notice any problem in, where with Proton it isn't the same experience.
I've had that same problem before. I would recommend a good pair of soundproof headphones. It can do wonders for concentration, depending on what you listen to.
Does Ukraine kill journalists who criticize their government? Does it send assassins who murder political dissidents abroad with polonium? Do they imprison and torture people for being queer?

It seems your argument that Ukraine is corrupt and poor creates a false equivalence with Russia. It seems to me that Russia under Putin is far, far worse.
Sorry but this is not true.

> Swahili lacks the numbers of speakers, the wealth, and the political power associated with global languages such as Mandarin, English or Spanish. But Swahili appears to be the only language boasting more than 200 million speakers that has more second-language speakers than native ones.

Not to detract anything from the article or Swahili, but surely this must be the case for English as well? Wikipedia on "English language" says:

Native speakers: 360–400 million
L2 speakers: 750 million
The reasons for Russia's hyperagression are simple and stated by Putin himself - he sees it as reacting to an existential threat. Right now US can't do a preemptive nuclear strike without retaliation. If military bases pop up in Ukraine the russians will have no chance to react. And US knows it and has been actively involved in Ukraine's affairs for a decade and now Ukrainians are paying the price. Putin will "watch the world burn" before it sees Ukr fall into US sfere of influence. And the worst part is that Putin can't win. Ukrainians are already against Russia the same as afghani people hate the US liberators. Putin's country and army will get increasingly depleted until there will be no other options left on the table. If this war takes more than six months we're going to see some beautiful mushroom clouds. P.S. I don't think the cockroaches are going to care who's to blame for the anihilation of our species.

Unfortunately doctors who voice doubts about anything governments say on vaccines tend to lose their license to practice, so actually, doctors are much less reliable on this than engineers would be. The latter don't have to worry about professional blacklisting.

The CDC has proven completely unreliable on both vaccines and masks unfortunately. The mask studies they published are laughable and CDC vaccine stats conflate "unknown vaccine status" with "unvaccinated", which is obviously not valid.

You can believe people at your local church if you wish, but, that does not change the facts on the ground.
That's exactly what McFaul suggested, and it's frankly absurd. Putin is quite popular, even my modern, non-Putinist friends in Moscow think he would win a fair election. Besides, he never lost an election, it's not that he lost and stayed on, that's not the issue.

And every one already knows that there are democratic countries, it's not like Russians would suddenly stage a coup because Ukraine has a fair election. Which they won't have any time soon, by the way. Ukraine is more corrupt than Russia.

The gap between level 4 and level 5 is huge.

Basically, if you can find videos online of Waymo giving up and requesting backup for a situation not severe enough for humans to do the same, then you are not really at level 5 yet. If you cannot rely on the car to handle driving though any circumstance you could reasonably expect your hired chauffeur to handle, well then you are not level 5 yet. Examples of situations where humans give up are hurricanes, and blizzards.

And there are plenty of videos of it stopping for situations where no human would ever be equally confused, plus a good handful of videos of the cars doing absolutely unacceptable things resulting in near misses.

Are you really that confident that by 2030 Waymo's roadside assistance program will be disbanded, or at least reduced to a killswitch, summoning a replacement car and a tow truck (because obviously the car must be broken if assistance was called)? Because if they need more than that, it sure isn't level 5 yet.
Deepfakes of Xi launching an attack on Taiwan.
I literally watched these riots from my window. The MLK quote is silly.

The protesters did break windows, painted a lot of graffiti, and took and burned police precinct(!) But it wasn't protesters starting fires and looting.

The looting was entirely opportunistic. At first there were people in the neighborhood but it quickly turned into something else, with many looters literally driving into the neighborhood and parking so they could carry out their loot. During later events, like sentences being announced, people have probed to see if it's possible again. But it never reached critical mass. It's not a protest phenomena, and I think "voice of the unheard" is complete bullshit. It's just people who want to steal things.

It IS revealing: it doesn't take that many people to decide to act with impunity before things break down. And in that sense I suppose the protesters did inspire the looting as they did the unbelievable. But it simply wasn't the same people.

The arson, I just don't know... it doesn't take many people. What little we know from convictions mostly involve people outside the community with little clear purpose. Some people just like to burn things. Given the actual buildings burned down it is nearly the opposite of what protesters with any ideology or connection to the community would do. There are theories of outside agitators, but who knows...
This makes no sense to me. I drive at or around those temps all the time. Sure today it was only -16C but it has been like that for forever now. Like the GP since about November. Some breaks with warmer weather, some stretches of -25C for weeks on end.

I have yet to have my breath fog up the window even if I start the car and drive off right away.

Of course it's cold. Of course the radio display is sloooooow. You can feel how much slower releasing the clutch is. Can't get into first gear at all unless the car is fully stopped either. So rolling stops need to use 2nd gear.

Make sure you don't use the washer fluid. Scrape everything free. Even with pure "-40" fluid you will get it to freeze and you will have to wait or use the wiper fluid constantly until things get warm. Have the blower on de-fog for the windshield and even if you don't wait even a second before driving off you should have no issues at all. Even the cold moving air is enough to keep things fog free. And defog actually runs the AC too, not that it's needed when the cold outside air you're blowing onto your windshield there has much need to be dehumidifierd.
Because my employers never went all-in on remote anyways. Telework was used to achieve social distancing goals (office at 1/4-1/3rd capacity, then 1/2). It isn't possible to do all technical work remotely (for various technical or regulatory reasons).

Also, mentoring new hires absolutely sucks when you're working remote.

“If your support is this poor/non-existent, you shouldn't get to talk about your "record-breaking multi-billion dollar profits" quarter after quarter.”

Interesting fact I learned a while back. Belarus is named white russia because mongols used color based cardinal directions ( gold = center, white = west, black = north, red = south, blue = east ).

So white russia means west russia ( west of russia ). Red and black ruthenia means south ruthenia and north ruthenia. White, gold and blue hordes, you get the idea.

If you ever wonder what made white russians white as opposed to other russians, not you know. For the longest time, I thought it was because it snowed more in belarus.
If you want to ((use open-source drivers OR use wayland) AND play demanding games), that's true, AMD hardware is probably a better choice, but:
- if you're fine with the proprietary Nvidia drivers and Xorg, Nvidia hardware works great;
- if you play less demanding games, Intel hardware works great.

Really? Or did move to a platform like App Store/Steam. I’ve seen it quantified and there’s a absurd amount of new games posted daily. I won’t argue that the tools in use are easier or better than flash, but developers certainly pivoted or so it seems.
