Stephen J Gould was a scientific fraud, with an ideological axe to grind, and repeatedly lied and misrepresented reality to smear what he saw as his ideological opponents. His most famous work on the topic, The Mismeasure of Man, for example, discussed Morton’s skull measuring experiments, who found that people of various races have different average cranial capacities. This is now a well established scientific fact, nevertheless Gould found this so offensive, that he claimed Morton fudged results by putting finger on the scale, based on no evidence whatsoever, simply disbelieving this sort of human variation between populations. Morton’s skulls have been in fact remeasured, and found to match Morton’s measurements within error margin appropriate to the method. This has been communicated to Gould himself, but he did not issue any correction or indeed mention any of it for the second edition of his book, showing clear evidence for his ideologically driven lack of scientific integrity.
Why not just build a binary? What's the benefit of transpiling to sh?
Great idea for a product. Glad this exists! If anything, you guys should be charging more for this service!
Apple taking back their devices and finding another use for their old parts or disposing of them in a standardized manner seems less wasteful. All you are really doing is subsidizing a cheaper used phone market.
Ok. We've got the extreme-minimalist web alternative in Gemini, and the alternative that uses Markdown in KyuWeb. Now we just need the version that exclusively uses s-expressions for markup to complete the triforce.
Oh, it's impractical to own a car if you live in NYC. There's really no point, unless you make stupid money or have a car fetish, or have some specific reason.
This sounds more like bad management than bad engineering.
This gets to the question "what is the employer paying for?"

Let me flip your question around - do you think that it is fine that one person is paid extra to live 2h away or that they should be paid twice what I get paid for effectively the same time spent in service of the company because I only have a 10 minute commute?

Alternatively, consider the person who commutes into the office 1h each way while I'm WFH and have effectively 0 commute. Let's say the wages are $50/h. Should they get paid an extra $100 a day because they are commuting rather than taking advantage of the WFH option?

On Wednesday nights I'd head to dinner with my family from the office. This involved going about 20-30 minutes out of my way from my normal commute. Should I get paid for that adjustment to my commute?

Alternatively, instead of taking route 1 home, I took route 2 home and did some shopping on the way (the route is actually faster sometimes, but less enjoyable and a harder drive), how does that factor into what I should get paid for my commute?

If I took a 15 minute deviation from my normal commute to drive through McD's for breakfast, should I get paid for 15 more minutes?

I'm older now than I was, and so prefer taking city surface streets that are properly illuminated and plowed in the winter rather than country roads. This was a change that I made to my commute back in '18. Should I get paid more because I changed my commute to surface streets? It's a 30 minute drive... I could switch to taking a bus, but that's 80-100 minutes each way (yea, the particular route options are awkward - two transfers for the fastest route).

When I was in Northern Wisconsin, there was a Hmong community that lived 45 minutes away from the office. Would it be fair for the employer to say "you must live within 30 minutes of the office because we're not going to be paying more than 1h/day for a commute"?

The "not paying for commute at all" is the simplest and (I believe) most fair way to approach the commute and issues of non-productive time, personal choices for transportation, personal choices for "where you want to live", and significant complications for overtime and verification of overtime. It avoids issues of outright discrimination of people who take public transportation or live certain distances from the office.

It's really odd to see a transgender person attacking people for having "ridiculous pronouns" because most LGBT people, in activism or otherwise, have a solidarity-based approach. That's why it's LGBT and not separate lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights movements. It gains strength from unity, because the problems they face are all really the same problem.

The opponents of LGBT rights don't always attack all of them at once. Sometimes they just attack the group that's the most controversial or vulnerable, or those that haven't gained widespread acceptance yet. Nonbinary people with "ridiculous" neopronouns would be the latter. The thing is, if the argument is accepted against one group, it'll likely be accepted against others too. This already happens; conservatives' "one joke" about trans people ("I identify as an attack helicopter") is specifically mocking nonbinary people, but it's usually used to attack binary trans people. If neopronouns are ridiculous, they say, why would you accept a man [sic] saying he's [sic] a woman? And if that works, then they'll move on to lesbian, gay, and bi people, as it's been frequently noted that every attack against transgender people is a recycled attack against gay people.

So when I see people complaining about "compelled speech" for "ridiculous pronouns", I get a bit suspicious.

("The left eats its own" is also a popular right-wing narrative for portraying every dispute between a leftist and (someone they think they can get away with calling) a leftist as the beginning of the end for leftism, proof of their treachery, etc., so that's also an interesting inclusion.)
I suppose the other possibility is the program might be designed in a way that each kid child being educated in a neighbouring district comes with a transfer of tax funds. If the transfer is larger than necessary to educate the child then districts would be interested in competing for students and will make quality improvements to do so. I may revisit my position on OE based on this. I am coming around to the idea that well designed OE programs could work. I think the “well designed” is key though as poorly designed programs can do a lot of harm by lowering the quality of education across the board.
summary of some highlights:
- over 90% of crude oil goes to transportation
- diesel and gasoline are the large majority of demand
- electric vehicles are reducing demand for oil
- electric vehicles are viable and economic for buses and heavy haul trucks
- however battery production is a major bottleneck, priorizing higher margin cars over battery powered trucks and buses
- synthetic fuel (electricity plus atmosphere turned into gasoline, diesel or jet fuel) is viable at ~$12/MWh when oil is $60/barrel.
- cost curve of renewable electricity suggests that synthetic fuel may be economically viable in a few years
- all this has serious long term implications for the oil industry

Yes, teenage boys (even 13 and 14 year olds) frequently beat female world records. In almost all athletic sports, a "combined" Olympics would have no female participants at all.

This is why women fought for sex segregation in the first place.
Typeables provides better typesafety and encapsulation by using the Rust pattern of "New Type", which defines a struct tuple that wraps the original type.

This can be especially helpful for scientific units, and for types where structure is helpful such as content types (e.g. a phone number is really a string not a number), media types (e.g. MIME), and more.

If you like the Rust crate "uom" or functions with strong types, then you may like Typeables.

I'm the author and happy to answer questions. I welcome constructive feedback.

Nice. Any time you submit a bug, you give the maintainer a little bit of cancer.
Nice. Wish you luck in this space, especially with the _other methods_ of reading manga around. Will definitely take a look.

Question about the releases: are there any plans on having Japanese language versions of manga available as well?
That seems like it would only work on very specific types of software teams. I've never been given a requirements doc that prescribed exact interfaces or anything even close.
I know nothing about manga, but my kids are bang in to it. What's your target demographic? Are these titles child friendly? (< 12 yo)

It may be that they have learned from Lockheed and tried to do the bribes in a better way.
Yeah, if you visited before 1630 you'd have seen the one for today (25th). They've been having ongoing issues with Actions so implemented a maintenance schedule to alleviate the load....temporarily I hope.

> Well it isn't an outright purchase for most people buying a phone on contract - i.e. they don't pay for it upfront, don't own the device upfront

Yes, this how is how a finance model works. Why are you giving us an example of financing works when the real question is on purchasing (with or without financing) vs leasing?

> So I'm a little baffled as to why you are baffled that a 'pay monthly for a service where you don't own the phone for 3 years' could be considered more similar to the concept of a subscription than the concept of outright ownership.

Your statements are inaccurate.

For all practical purposes, if I purchase a new iPhone from ATT or T-Mobile on contract, I do own the phone. It’s now mine. I can’t skip my contractual obligations and just ask ATT to take the phone back. I keep the phone but the full balance becomes immediately due.

Financing and leasing are two different things.

I worked for a company that did an SAP modernization project. The IBM consultants did a large part of converting all the custom ABAP stuff. The idea was to get back to as vanilla SAP as possible and included a ton of Business Objects and data warehouse work as well to convert old reporting etc.
They were constantly behind and decided to just push the load testing off the road map to hit the cio's arbitrary go live date. Within three days the data volume got large enough to grind the entire system to a halt and the company couldn't take, bill or fulfill orders. Of course the consultants were well out the door by that point. I spent months unwinding the stupid crap they did on the Business objects reporting side.
> Regardless, Russia will not be able to subdue Ukraine, but there's nothing good coming from a more enthusiastic Russian society.

You are mistaken if you believe that Russian society isn't already enthusiastic. But this isn't a country with the warrior culture US has, dying for your country isn't cool in Russia, it just means that you were too poor and/or stupid to dodge the draft.

> There's a law for these things. That law allows sanctions but not attacking random civilians.

Which law is that?

> It also states that any possible harm to civilians must be incidental to the method

Many of the sanctions are specifically targeting civilians, civilian businesses.

> and that any harm be proportional to the possibility of achieving a legitimate goal (kicking Russia out).

Oh no, you're deeply mistaken. The sanctions will not go away even if Russia gets kicked out of Ukraine, they're very much intended to be punitive.
In some cases, yes --- the leasor may have no recourse that makes any economic sense. The cost of legal "recourse" may exceed the value of the item.

What happens if the leasee declares bankruptcy --- or if he dies?

For a variety of reasons, a certain percentages of leases will not work out as expected. Apple's most sensible "recourse" may be to charge everyone extra to cover the cost.

Thanks for sharing. I can definitely see why it might be appealing. However, using Ctrl + Alt + Del guarantees that only Winlogon can handle the logon, no other process can be simulating the login prompt.

My dad told me about a program he wrote for a PDP-11 which would just simulate a login prompt. When a username and password were entered, it would append it to a file somewhere, then print the 'Incorrect username or password' message, and exit silently.

The user would assume they'd fat-fingered the password, and try to log in again (successfully) and be none the wiser that their password had just been stolen.

The Windows dependency on Ctrl+Alt+Del makes this type of attack impossible, while systems that don't require a Secure Attention Sequence (as apparently it is called) to log in are susceptible to a slightly more sophisticated version of this attack.

This works great for single and potentially two later boards, the problem is when scale up to 4 layer and beyond boards. For quick turn production level boards I have used https://www.allpcb.com, JLPCB takes a day or so longer than ALLPCB in my experience.
Wouldn't that be evidence that they have less reason to lie about this? This is potentially burning a bridge, which could potentially cost them financially long term.
With NPM being such a security nightmare everytime you rope in another dependency, and myself being a long-time user of postgres.js (and much of porsagers' other work in the Node community), I do think this was the right decision.
I, for one, am interested.

My understanding is that "woke" started as shorthand for criticism from POCs towards their nominal white allies (progressives, Democrats, etc). "I know you're trying to help. Please stop."

One recurring affront, of allies doing more harm than good, that I've observed many times is "white knighting" (correct term?).

A white person will argue in defense of a black position (or cause). While there's black people present, trying to be heard.

The correct action would be for a white person to concede their time to a black person. So that we can hear first-hand their input about policies and decisions impacting them. "I don't know. Let's ask a black person what they think."

My criticism of wokeness, as a middle class white blue hair, is that maybe haranguing people is not the most effective strategy. Just like how fat shaming back fires.

Personal example. I have a friend whose compulsion is to correct my misgendering of others, while I'm talking. Each and every time. Are they really listening to me? Or are they just waiting for me to fuck up and pounce, demonstrating their greater virtue? It's exhausting.

Sure, I want to get the genders correct, and certainly don't want to inadvertently offend any one, especially not punch down. But decades of habit don't change over night. And how the fuck am I supposed to know when someone's picked a new pronoun for themselves? Is there a gender registry some where I can reference in real-time?

I can't comment specifically on the reactionaries' criticism of wokeness. I assume whatever they're fluffed up about is just part of another grift.
Your dad will be a unicorn -- someone who knows how to code, but also has the business/social aptitude to manage relationships with executives. This is very rare and impressive.

I'd encourage him to give this a shot.

A lot of technical people don't appreciate how difficult the relationship aspect is, and often struggle with it. Your has this in spades!
Thank you. That's very interesting.

I'm put in mind of community organizations, which have the same risks. I've seen several organizations do abrupt turns where one group gains power and then cements it by rule changes. Organizations are different in that you can't just opt out of a country, but it's interesting to see the ways organizations might look to this to protect themselves.

I believe one of the most important things Germany has is its assertion that "Human dignity shall be inviolable". The US does not have that. As written it's too vague to apply directly, but it does imply an ethos of protecting people that isn't usually found in the US Constitution. We resist protections, especially when they interfere with somebody's economic freedom or their freedom to persecute others when not expressly forbidden.
I think Karl Popper's "Paradox of tolerance" [1] applies here as well.

An open, democratic and pacifist society can only continue to exist if it defeats those who try to end it.

The EU handles fines differently than the US. While the US applies harsh singular punishments early on, the EU gives slaps on the wrist at the beginning but will relentlessly punish companies that repeatedly break the law. This can end up costing companies more than 4% because they will be fined over and over again.
That's the problem. It would require some kind of new fuzzy signature algorithm, which works on information content in speech, rather than raw audio data. In this case, exact matching of data isn't important, but major changes in information, so that changing / removing / adding words wouldn't be possible. Simple way would be to just convert speech to text first with a known method, so that both microphones could work from the same source data. The display device could actually show real-time transcription of the speech along with the signatures.
don't forget to write Berlin time or Beijing time, so people won't be confused about time zones, since some experts write them in some odd UTC/GMT format with + sign which is complete mess especially with summer/winter time in Europe, while all year same time in China

I always write my Chinese colleagues time either in Chinese/Beijing time or Berlin time to clarify what time zone we are talking about, because it's not so obvious since some of them work until midnight or even 1AM local Chinese time
Tickets generally are dynamically priced. If a ticket has high demand it will instantly sell out and be put up for auction on resale sites.
It seems like most of the skills measured in the studies referenced relate to spacial skills or memory/recall.

Is it considered a "bribe" if it's a transaction between private companies? I would think that's just considered a "discount" at that point.

Not saying it's right, I'm just saying that I thought there might be a legal distinction.
The problem with this is that a person who makes a mistake when doing something is much more likely than someone else to make a mistake when evaluating that same piece of work.
Works the other way around as well: Compile platform independent code (such as Java) on --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM in a build stage and then copy into containers that are --platform=$TARGETPLATFORM. That way your build only runs once, natively, but you can produce the correct runtime containers for each architecture rather quickly.
I am against that. The result could be that US companies would go all in on bribing and make the countries even more corrupt. It would make the US even more hypocritical when they preach ethics to the world.
Hopefully regulators catch on to that crap.
Modern UI design is optimized for screenshots in a PowerPoint, and from there, to screenshots in a portfolio and on marketing pages where the audience that needs to be satisfied is marketing themselves, and especially people very concerned that every piece of everything be "on brand" and who are entirely sure this matters a ton for making sales.

That's what's going on, as far as I can tell.
I think "BPA free" means "BPS". I think that's less-studied but not necessarily better. [Edit: but "phenol-free" is likely actually safe, thanks for pointing that out. I should read my own link fully!]
I think that it would be difficult to keep everything clean enough to avoid galvanic corrosion at the metal interfaces once someone has touched it. I experienced surprisingly rapid corrosion when securing copper lugs using zinc-plated steel nuts and bolts until I started handling them exclusively with gloves.
Oh they still do. Some of them, anyway. Like my electric utility.
I always setup a dedicated QA team that has right of veto for releases. Developers indeed can do some testing, but quality assurance is more than that. It starts at the problem definition stage, when QA engineers ensure there’s no misunderstanding of the requirements, they make sense and they answer all important questions. It ends long after release, because production support is also part of QA. QA engineers do their part of testing, just like developers do, but they also coordinate delivery and support from quality perspective. Their feedback is often valuable to product managers and designers, they can help a lot your customer support team.
> I think it’s emphasising the “default” action quite nicely, and de-emphasising the other action quite appropriately.

I don't really know how you fail to comprehend this -- people have been proven to underestimate or look down upon other people who don't share the same language or looks. Whether it be barbarians, people with different skin color, or generally of different cultures.

And you just reply with "it's OBVIOUS that animals don't possess the same level of intelligence, show me the cow Einstein". The GGGP's point is that studies on animal intelligence is only surprising with this attitude. I feel like you're just trying to appeal to common sense without actually addressing people's point. Don't forget who made the claim that '"As if they are inferior because they don't speak English" is a pretty cheap shot'.

I'll sign off here. You are free to presume that we're unreasonable idiots who don't even have a speck of your "common sense".
Maybe? Some of those sound like unit tests should have caught them.
