Jewish people are white though - and "white privilege" as a concept is primarily about how white people don't have to overcome racism or adapt their behaviour to the dominant culture to get ahead. It does connect with issues of diversity but it's not a direct explanation.

These days compilers provide fix-it hints that are very useful.i find them especially convenient for misspellings and printf format string errors, especially when coupled with on the fly error checking.

The seeds have been sowed into the youth through media, technology and educational systems for years now. Do you think it stops there?
I wish he would just give examples or at least speak slightly more plainly about his complaint. I would understand his complaint more (and be able to decide whether I agree with him, although I’m fairly sure I don’t) if he would just say something very plainly like “I liked it better in 1985 when you could say X and have zero risk of losing your job.”
I do, pretty much daily. Casino poker streams and stringers livestreaming their news chasing, for my evening entertainment. Sometimes other stuff if it surfaces in my feed.
Giving examples is left as an exercise for the reader.
On one hand, you're right. The nuance is sometimes lost. On the other hand, think about what we're talking about: a political party is trying to erase the existence of a class of people, and they are wielding the power of the state to do so, especially in places where there's one party control and no hope of electing any opposing party.

When you say "I don't understand trans people", trans people have heard this many times before. Unfortunately for you, many people who have said this phrase before followed it up with "...and therefore I hate them. I will legislate against them; I will pass laws against their existence in public space; I will demonize them; I will jail them; I will murder them."

Those are the stakes, so the pushback is in proportional to the life and death nature of what's going on here. When you say "I don't understand trans people" they are expecting you to follow it up with more of the same. And I get that's not great for the general public's understanding of trans people. But understand that it's a reaction to years and year of abuse from other people who also proclaim that they "don't understand."

Your general confusion is being received in an environment where people are literally fighting for their lives. Maybe in a different time, when people aren't facing down the vast power of the state to dictate their existence, there would be more room to treat you gentler. But the pressure has been ratcheted up to 11 by powerful forces bent on a 21st century new moral panic, and that's not the fault of trans people and their defenders, but the people who are trying to make their lives hell for no reason other than intolerance.

This part of his essay addresses your thought:

I've read, that theory about "alpha male with alpha female in wolf pack" is disproved, as this behavior is seen only in captivity.

Also, claim that cats are breed only for appearance is not completely true, in villages good rat-catchers will breed and not-so-good rat-catchers will have their litters drown.

The fact is that I am probably very much like you. Except that I won't throw barbs at a stranger who may in fact be a good person. Site rule: assume the best intentions. ^_^

I happen to love nature and animals. I guess we would agree about the terrible environmental consequences of human industry and consumerism. We have scaled the our greed and selfishness too far to hide it from ourselves anymore.
Slightly off-topic, but when Swype was initially released I was absolutely blown away by how good it was. I remember swiping in the general periphery of the correct letters, and I do not know if the algorithm smoothened out the input points, used the context of previous words or both, but the keyboard was borderline reading my mind. And trust me, I tried to be as lazy as reasonably possible while swiping to get it to predict wrong words, but it was a fight I would almost always lose, albeit very happily.

My question is: why does swiping now feel so much more inaccurate? As this is HN I'd be very happy if someone from Google/Microsoft (or hopefully even Nuance) could shed some light. Was it "the big players forced the small and innovate folks out and then bureaucratized it like every commerical software because the competition was killed"? Or was it something else? I find it hard to believe that the predictive text accuracy has increased at all, if not gone down, when comparing Swype to GBoard/Swiftkey.

PS: Swype is/was the name of the keyboard app by Nuance, I'm not referring to swipe-typing in general in the 1st paragraph.
For commuter rail inside a city it's nice to know "the trains run every X minutes so I can always get one" - between cities it can be more clumped around commuter times.

You also run into trainset issues where you want to run 5 trains in one direction and 5 back in the evening, which will require 5 trainsets, but if you run them back and forth you could do more trips with less trainsets, but some would be running off-peak (and in the worst case, nearly empty, but getting into position).
It's awfully patronizing for something coming from what I understand to be one of the larger Dutch banks. It reminds me of some of the internally-circulated bank employee training videos that I've had to watch for a past job, but none of them were this bad.

You need to be more specific. The “west” means nothing. Calgary is just coming out or a terrible crash and still has dozens of empty buildings. Vancouver and Victoria are growing madly and have the housing pressures to match.
What criticisms of these groups do you have in mind? That's like 80% of the world population.

Also think its a common misunderstanding to think of critical theory issues as relating directly to oneself. I'm a straight white guy and I understand concepts like privilege, and it's nothing to feel personal responsibility or guilt for.
The only answer anyone can give you here is that that sounds like an unfortunate glitch, and perhaps some really poor programming/planning in some area, but no, destroying your notes is not an effort to onboard you to the paid version.

“What happened to them” is covered in other comments (same thing that’s happened to everything that isn’t dominated by a benevolent vision-possessing dictator of sorts to keep things focused and say no a lot).
This is the reason I believe there should be a framework/mechanism for dying companies to open source their works. this way they can continue to live on forever or at least have a way to influence something better.
I hear this often repeated assumption all the time and I would love to know where it originated from?

Like what pop-sci article first misquoted a paper where someone stated that this was a possibility in a narrow set of circumstances?

I'm not saying it's wrong per se, It just seems like one of those factoids that sounds great, that fits in a nice little spot in our brains ready to be regurgitated when we hear something tangentially related. It's a little too convenient of an idea.

Heh, I did that when I was a kid. I was so proud of myself, right up until I learned how bad it was.

>Telling someone what you think they're wrong about or how they're flawed is not usually doing violence or harm. Done in good faith, it's giving feedback and giving them the chance to show you how your own perceptions might be wrong.

You have to earn people's trust and respect in order to do that. For an activist in a marginalized group, it can be very hard to figure out who to trust.

On the other hand it seems very easy for pg to gain the trust of commenters here, probably because he's a rich investor offering to give everyone big wads of cash for a skill they already possess.
The threads are collapsible in the threads UI, so I keep them collapsed and if there is something with > 1 child comments, I check it out. Probably more than I should, but enough that some time has passed and I can look back at it more objectively.

The serendipity of the site is that I can forget I made a comment and find someone has responded to it later on. A few of mine even blew up into long threads after I had forgotten them, and it was nicer to read the discussion by other people than to be responding to it. The slow/calm design aspect of it helps to refine my writing into something I can look back on without cringing too much. The low-notifications aspect of the site is a very nuanced feature.
I have a far less positive view of education and many of the professors who have traditionally occupied it in the US. A whole lot of entrenched people with tenure who have formal authority over people (grad students) without even a hint of manager training and it really shows. Many of these people are downright childish, intentionally put blinders on the world immediately around them, and cause countless students unnecessary pain just so that their own eccentric personalities are accommodated.
More intelligent than anyone gives them credit for. I have a couple I let them roam around outside in my garden where they'll wander through the pathways and stop to sniff every individual fruit, vegetable and flower near the edge, as if they're appreciating my work. Most of the stuff in my garden is flat out inedible to them and poses no threat. They're just enjoying the scenery.
> I don't think this guy necessarily deserved a New Yorker article

I am not familiar with New Yorker, but looking at their front page they would present to their readers any article they think is well written.

I see a movie staff interview and cow documentary review. This piece could pretty much fit I think, it looks to me like its primary purpose was to provide a long read to the readers, and not change the world in some dramatic way.
Fired from their jobs for what, exactly? Being too fiscally conservative?

Most people in the US are under at-will employment, so they can be fired at any time for almost any reason. So if we're going to argue that they are being fired due to political persecution from the hard left, you have to make a thorough case there because you're saying their employer shouldn't be free to hire and fire whomever they like.
Nobody reasonable is saying that profit making is a sin, the argument is that only allowing/focusing on direct profit making services is shortsighted and misses opportunities to implement services that have indirect benefits
Chinese inmates had hearts or lungs removed during executions, study says
(1) The concept of an inherent “gender” makes no biological nor logical sense. You can’t have been born in the “wrong body.”

(2) Socrates was mostly right about democracy.

(3) Seriously violent criminals, once convicted, should never bet let out of prison.

(4) The US (and all nations) should have essentially open borders.

(5) The US should make health insurance illegal and provide health care as a function of government, the way they provide national defense.

(6) All gun control is against the US constitution and poor public policy.

These are all my sincere opinions, and, although I think most of them are clearly, sometimes self-evidently true, most of them are heresies.

I've seen someone say (without citation) that US would nuke China too in a full-scale nuclear war with Russia just so that China doesn't inherit the world.

> There are plenty of examples [...] e.g. David Schor

I think it's rather the opposite. There are, to be sure, tragedies and abuses of woke rhetoric that gets directed at the wrong people and/or implemented in outrageous ways. But they're pretty rare, and generally get a ton of media coverage for exactly that reason. Those are what PG is writing about.

But in my experience, the overwhelming majority of people entering this kind of argument are actually just wanting more cover to say things they used to say that are... well, kinda off. Not "lose your job" off, but casually "x-ist" in a way that most of us would prefer not to engage with.

And really, that's the rub here, and the biggest problem with PG's essay here. Where are the examples? If there's something you want to say but feel you can't, then say it. This is a reasonably anonymous forum. PG is reasonably immune to that kind of criticism. But the problem is that when you say it the debate becomes a debate about your opinions and not your oppression, and that's ground these folks won't win on, like this one:

> I gently challenged her fat acceptance rhetoric

You literally had a friend walk out of your life because you couldn't respect her boundaries about something as senselessly unobjective as body image, and the lesson you seem to have taken from it is that you were the oppressed one?
But then how do you get the multiplicative effect described in the article without any debt ??
Another vote for Obsidian here. Its the first 'note taking' system I actually _use_ (even evernote wasn't as frictionless for me).

Not an issue for me, but others might be concerned about its (lack of??) mobile support. I do all my work on desktops and sync thru git, so its not been a problem for me.
Because many users flagged it.

That’s usually all there is to it.

Personally I flagged it because it’s conversational flame bait where two radicalized groups will argue past each other endlessly, which will serve only to reinforce their radicalization. (Yes, me too)

And even beyond that: there's a direct line from Goldwater's open hatred for the press and academia to the Contract With America/early 90s "big tent" cultural conservatism.

Conservatism in America has not existed as a unified front modulo the culture war for decades. The only thing keeping the stakeholders together are social issues and revanchist sentiments towards anything that has even historically challenged those issues.
Bypassing the need to consciously name things is one of the worst parts of excel.

Imagine taking a data pipeline and renaming all columns and variables alphabetically and then asking someone to check the business logic

Also it pushes people to include excessive parts of formulas into a single calculator rather than breaking them into comprehensible and testable chunks.
This is one of the best reasons to learn a second language. Heretical concepts are often wrapped in layers of euphemism. For this reason, heresies tend to have problems crossing language barriers as that structure of euphemisms hasn’t necessarily been developed. One of the properties of the euphemism treadmill is that the mere existence of softer alternatives makes the original seem much worse than it was before.

Speaking another language often exposes you to people expressing taboo (to you as an outsider) concepts in a blunt and direct manner. This may strengthen or weaken the taboo to you, but at least it will make you think.

To give a very mild example, in English it’s taboo to mention someone’s weight. Even if they are a public figure that you will never meet. So we have a structure of euphemisms: “overweight”, “larger”, “plus-sized”, etc. But there are other languages where people literally do call each other fat, to their face, and it is not taboo. As you can imagine, this principle extends to political and social concepts too.

I was thinking about a documentary where a Californian farmer was trying to recharge the groundwater by flooding his farmland and seep into the ground instead of letting the water run off. It didn't look like he had any permits to do this and he was most likely breaking the law. I can already imagine an overzealous police department looking for easy to prosecute crimes using facial recognition to arrest this man.
I thought no dogs could recognize themselves in the mirror. Are you sure?

Human discourse does not consist of people stating neutral, truthful propositions in isolation. We are not Vulcans.

When someone chooses to say a particular sentence is as much a part of communication as what that sentence says.

So when someone says "very few women are capable of running a Fortune 500 company effectively," they aren't merely blurting out a fact at random, they are trying to say something.

And depending on the context, and who they are, and who they are speaking to, the thing they are trying to say can be different.

In many cases, if someone brings up that particular fact in conversation, you would reasonably conclude that they are submitting it in support of the idea that it is unsurprising that few women are CEOs of F500 companies; that they believe that is natural and reasonable.

But in other circumstances, say in a profile of a successful female F500 CEO, that same assertion could be being offered in support of the thesis that the subject of the profile is an exceptional individual, deserving of success.

Or, as in muglug's comment to which you're replying, it could be being used to illustrate a point about the fact that very few people are capable of running a fortune 500.

So this is the thing: a fact is neutral. But the facts that you introduce into a conversation are always selected to support a position. And a position can certainly be sexist.
Yes, heresy by definition is an opinion that is deemed socially unacceptable.

Last time I had a trip from Boston to Chicago, I briefly look a look at the train. It would have been a long overnight trip and cost about 3x the plane if I got a sleeping compartment. Just made no sense.

Although I've done it, even doing the whole Northeast Corridor is a stretch. DC is a pretty short flight from Boston whereas it's a full day by train.
You might be missing the point.

Business leaders encouraging inclusivity is a winning strategy for their business, as it helps them get the best skills. This is not a war, it's simply honest to goodness market forces getting things right.

The decision in the US of the GOP to stoke division while as a party deciding to be deliberately obstructionist caused things to go off the rails. That is why you get shenanigans like Republicans claiming that Obama would never nominate a centrist like Garland the day before the announcement, then pivoting 180 to prevent their constitutional duty to advise and consent. They are lucky Obama respected the Constitution as they have opted to be derelict in the performance of their duties.

Your point on terminology isn't the problem in your statement. It's that you project towards cultural division the real issue of classist division.
Not sure why you are being downvoted but you are completely right.

A few years ago GCC wasn't as good at error recovery, so the "too many errors, bailing out" message was a common occurrence (code for Internal Compiler Error, but managed to print at least one diagnostic). Today it is much much rarer to encounter it and using the compiler is a much more pleasant experience.
True, I am not yet 40, so I do not have that perspective. But the order of operations for maintaining health is, as I understand:

sleep right > eat right > exercise right

If you do not have the sleep and eat part down (including alcohol), then proceeding to exercise will not have all the desired effects. Not to say that meditation does not help, if it works for people then it works for people.
One of the major problems is that we haven't broken down IQ into its actual basis. Working memory and reaction speed are two psychometrics highly correlated to IQ. But someone can easily be gifted in one but not the other. A conventional IQ test would not recognize this.
