It's really undermining the atrocities of the transatlantic slave trade by comparing it to prison. We wouldn't compare it to indentured servitude, which is much closer to the penal system (monetary debt vs social debt, but both are contacts even if not purely voluntary). The federal government also doesn't have complete ownership over prisoners. Yes, prisoners are mistreated, but what they face isn't at the level of those from the slave trade and so you're effectively diminishing those atrocities.
It's definitely a consideration. The way I think of AR is:

AR/VR headset = desktop

AR glasses (2025+) = laptop

phone AR = phone

So phone AR has ergonomic challenges kind of like the small screen and slow speeds that smartphones had when they first came out. You'd use phone AR to throw a pokeball outside, or use phone AR to touch up your virtual makeup / decor for AR selfies like you do with phone selfies (which are similarly ergonomically challenging). When AR glasses become an everyday thing, they'll be the workhorses and you'll take it around with you while traveling or for work. Finally, for dedicated production tasks, you'll get your AR/VR headsets and use it in pre-specified locations.
There's plenty of other companies that have the other side of the coin in values though that would admire people who stand up. It's very nice to be a good culture fit at a company. I have a Blue Lives Matter flag in the corner of my camera during interviews and it's gotten me some really good offers and I havn't been declined once.

On the flip side, I know many that have been discriminated based on their looks or vocal patterns(trans / lgbt). Alot of companies and people assume these people are a problem because of what goes on at google and decline them due to culture fit.
> exercising their own agency and choosing different fields.

If we accept this as true, fields dominated by women should receive the same grace.
I think there may have been a misunderstanding.

For many things, keeping up-to-date and at least having some opinion is what's important to align with some subset of the companies out there. Otherwise you have no culture to even fit to and align with nobody.
> The only hobbies that aren't looked down upon are things that involve creation instead of consumption or are major class signifiers really (Opera, skiing, etc).

This does not sound like what people think in general in the US. This sounds like you live in a social circle and assume their opinions as general opinion.
I also do not like browsing for content on Netflix because whenever I pause on a title it starts playing trailer with sound when what I really want to do is look at the average user rating and read the premise blurb.

It's not the same. If you the un-hashed password leaks it can often be used to authenticate on other websites since people reuse passwords. You can't do that if all you have is the hashed password.
Probably because that's not the only possible interpretation of the issue.

I agree that in some instances, white seems to be primarily used as a synonym for bright/light, and black as one for darkness, shadow etc., such as in the case of white and black box testing.

However, other cases, such as "whitelist" and "blacklist", seem more nefarious at least in some cultures: A list of names, one of people to grant access to some service or facility, the other to be denied...

And as somebody else has already noted, for somebody without that cultural background, it might not even make any sense, unlike the much more self-describing alternatives "allowlist" and "denylist".

If there is an alternative available that is both more straightforward and that has less negative connotations – why not advocate for its use, and assume that those that do so do it out of good intentions (while at the same time not assuming that people using the other terms do so out of a desire to cause harm)?

The main problem seems to be that, as in many such cases, a nuanced discussion of the topic does not fit into a tweet or news headline, nor a Slackbot autoresponse, and least of all into a grammar checker.
Back to leeches; got it
Update: I've found this site which appears to do what I want.

Your original comment condemned superhero entertainment specifically for their content, but not "the formats themselves". Independent of this discussion, I've been thinking lately about how, especially in the most closed-off months of the pandemic quarantine, so many of our pastimes consist of indulging in simulations. Everything from the loftiest performance of a Shakespearean play to the most throwaway TikTok, from the most true-to-life non-fiction narrative account of a real event to the most escapist of comic books, they're all about bringing out minds to a different place.

And I wonder what it all means. As a species we've been at this since the first cave paintings, the earliest oral traditions. And what we're doing now with modern hyperstimulating computer-generated mediums is in that same tradition. But from a biological standpoint, what do these intellectual forms of recreation really mean for us? Is the final goal of our society to automate away all of the hard physical stuff, and then place our bodies in comfortable pods where our only stimulation is the simulated and safe? To play out stories and to experience emotions where we have minimized our vulnerability and maximized our enjoyment? "All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused."

This isn't meant to be a condemnatory dystopian vision or anything. I just wonder if the ideal end state of luxury existence is to live in stories, so the mind and passions can work, but the body is satiated and at peace. So when people indulge in leisure now, is that truly "wasting their time"? Perhaps they are only capturing a fleeting glimpse of the final future of our species.
The thing is a classifier is going to classify. So it’ll create _some_ name… but will it be correct? Useful? Or just completely misleading? I think the misleading bits can be worse than no name at all.

Better would be a high level description of what’s happening. I have a feeling that would be easier to achieve.
Not sure if you missed the details of the announcement but they are doing the payouts on Polygon, which is not a Proof of Work network (the technology that is harmful for the environment).
Of course, there is discrimination between the sexes, sexual orientation, nationality, politics, or any other religion or philosophy. People hire their friends, they will hire people of like mind, and fairness be damned. (Don't me get me started on age discrimination.) I think it is demonstrable that women have it tougher than in most fields, especially in the art world.

We are all created equal under law but who "watches the watchmen? And how do you regulate decisions? Even algorithms that declare a certain race percentage be balanced are discriminatory.
I'm the opposite of you. From age 20 to about age 45, I did not watch TV at all. Part of that was because I grew up in the UK, and the experience I had with the BBC (and a bit of Channel 4 and very occasionally ITV) made US TV just look stupid to me. Endless stupid ads, laugh tracks, completely unrealistic characters, dumb plots, and more endless stupid ads.

Then ... Netflix arrived. I started watching a few of the shows that people raved about from their days on network TV, and I realized that the biggest problem was ... endless stupid ads. Which Netflix did not have. I became willing to try out HBO from time to time, got in Battlestar Galactica, and of course in 2014, True Detective showed up on HBO. In 2019, I discovered Deadwood (at that point nearly a decade old), a more or less Shakespearian epic of 19th century US history. Over the past decade, I've discovered so many truly worth shows - and I haven't event started on The Wire yet!

On top of that, Netflix has given me access to several UK shows (Luther, for example, but also Grand Designs (now, thankfully, on Youtube)) that have rounded out the menu.

I understand that aesthetic choices with TV shows are very personal, but I can honestly say that I now absolutely believe that "TV" (ala the new streaming services and/or their presentation of material without ads) can be a medium for stellar story telling. I would like it if we had a few more defined "limited series" where there's a story already known, with a beginning, middle and end (True Detective and Mare of Eastttown are great examples of this (as long as they do not ruin Mare by making a sequel). And sure, there are some TV series that really would have been better as a film. Nevertheless, the ability to spend 8-16 hours with compelling characters is big positive to me.
This is when Ministry of Truth comes into play. The main character's job in 1984 was literally this: rewriting history when it came into conflict with the updated "truth". Orwell didn't foresee that in a world of computers, such updates are trivially made: no need to reprint newspapers and books, since all of them are virtual.
Insurance policies can exclude coverage off public roads. If the Tesla and aircraft owner are one and same, the owner may be holding the bag for the damage.

The aircraft owner and insurer could sue Tesla, but likely Tesla's terms of use require the car only be on public roads and private driveways.
NATO (US) - Russia deterrence model rests on nuclear deterrence, and most importantly on the fact that Russia can guarantee MAD in retaliation against US because they have a huge stock pile of them. This deterrence model is not itself changed if Russia detonates a nuke in a non-NATO country. If it were, we could just skip past that and just send nukes to their military installations right now.

That said it's only a deterrence model if you have stone cold people like the people who set up the MAD system. It might break when it is lead by hysterical people and then MAD becomes "acceptable cost".

And I make it a 0 probability event that Russia uses a nuke in Ukraine. They're winning, they're using limited warfare (ie. no mobilization in RF), NATO probably follows the nuclear deterrence calculus, and they see the Ukrainians as part of the Russian people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Russian_nation) based on Putin's speeches.
From perspective of fairly young hiring manager (25y old) it really depended on candidate.
If you changed industries and you want to come in, more than fair. If you have 10+YoE and I know we don't play that much, why would you want to work with us? I am bit wary if those people are teachable.

Please don't take it offensively, I just want to understand better philosophy of people who do only lateral moves for 8+ years (not becoming seniors, not becoming highly paid).

If the case is "not everybody is looking to dedicate their life to work" then its more probable that I will hire young person, as they just might put extra effort, as they maybe haven't chosen the philosophy yet.
The improved support for external monitors alone is enough to make one not want to go back to X11. No more fiddling with xrandr to fix scaling issues. Or being forced to settle for lower refresh rates if any one of the monitors or cables can't support higher rates. Moving to wayland has definitely resulted in a much better experience.

Interesting. I don't have data, but it heavily correlates with my school and what I had heard from others. There was like a big cadre of trans people in the CompSci department, then a few in the Math department.

There was a smattering in other afaik. I was on the board of the LGBT club so I knew at least the ones who were out / came frequently.
There remains no such thing as the thing that they actually said
This is mostly irrelevant today though; the hardware is so much faster and memory so much more plentiful that handling is done by reading the full header (and often full packet) then making the routing or forwarding decision. You don't need to squeeze out every single cycle or save every single byte possible. You have so much headroom saving cycles or bytes makes no difference and you can't optimize enough to make significant BOM reductions by choosing cheaper chips while still offering features considered standard. Even if you could you'd be selling into an ultra-ultra-cheap market segment no one cares about (congrats, you made a $2 10Mbps router that can run on a coin cell battery).
Hype. The same reason it rocketed upwards some week. If it was possible to reproducibly generate hit tv shows, these people would be owning the distribution pipes. Not the reverse. Each of these companies got lucky, got rich and now have to do it consistently. As an older rocker said “You get 20 years to write your first album. You get six months to write the second.”
With properties like The Boys, Bright Burn, and Batman movies and spinoffs like Joker, it's starting to sneak back in.

There was a similar cycle in the late 80s and 90s, when there was a rush of "mature" super hero comics.
Did you purchase, rent, or legally borrow the physical dvd?

That's part of Marxist long march through institutions. They achieve these goals through bullying and accusations. Nobody at work wants to be (unfoundedly) accused of racism so they silently accept these new rules. I mean it's a small inconvenience that is probably worth the salary they are getting.
But the truth is people in these organisations are afraid of speaking their minds in case they say something that is deemed wrong by woke police. I noticed that people have become less open and many limits conversations strictly to the tasks at hand.
It's kind of how corporate goals meet with Marxism - they believe people no longer engage in "pointless" socialising that affects the bottom line and if they want to engage, they have a minefield to navigate.
Many of my (former) friends who worked at these big corporations have become zombies - it's not possible to have a conversation with them about day to day life, events etc.
It's really fascinating and worrying.
This should be on the frontpage.

I can tell you why i cancelled my subscription. Everytime i would access Netflix from another device, they would reset my password and i couldn't create a new one without contacting customer service. They basically kicked me out. When i said i don't want to go through this process for the third time, and since your algorithms kicked me out, i want my money back, at least whatever is left of my subscription. They said no, i either go through the manual process with them to reset my password, or my subscription will automatically renew (because i can't even log in to cancel it). Thankfully they were very happy to cancel my subscription on my behalf.
That's peak Google right there. It's the infection point on their organic growth. They've got a long tail of incumbency and subsidized dominance ahead of them, but in the lifecycle of a company, this is the out of touch moment that demonstrates they've passed their middle age. In terms of half life, this suggests they've got another decade of some vitality, and then a kind of legacy presence in the decade after that before their furniture gets picked up by something newer in a growth phase.

They would be well served to update their motto to, "Don't be fatuous." It's the best they can do now.
Last two companies I have been at simply do not hire any white males, and blatantly give bonuses for hitting targets of DEI.

It’s no longer about merit or skill, it’s about woke crap and identity politics.
I'm a long-time serial dieter who has radically changed my diet on several occasions now, from SAD to vegitarian to SAD to vegan to SAD to raw vegan to SAD to FODMAP to SAD to McDougall high carb to paleo low carb to meat-centered to (currently) carnivore. (Among others.)

Each time (moving to non-SAD) it takes around six months before I stop naturally losing weight and either stabilize (on carnivore) or start heading back up (on everything else). I attribute this mostly to the microbiome, so by my own N=1 experiments, I'd say about six months.
We should be able to test our blood for PFAS on a regular basis and our doctors should be able to let us know if we need to filter our blood.

But PFAS testing is not the norm?

Per a Tedx talk on this subject:
https://www.nrdc.org/experts/anna-reade/pfas-blood-tests-nee...

>> Unfortunately, a PFAS blood test is not a routine lab test that can be processed by your local lab and covered by your health insurance. In fact, there are only a handful of labs certified to test for PFAS in blood and the out of pocket cost for this test is out of reach for most people.

They’ll just say racism and sexism only exist in a context of oppressed and oppressor. It’s all been carefully worked out by certain academic intellectuals, long before it vectored into the mainstream (apparently by way of Tumblr)
From the NIH: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20066931/

> men on average have higher intelligence than women by 3-5 IQ points

Maybe, but negligible.

What's probably more significant, when looking at a sub-population, is the variation in intelligence for men and women: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26158978/

The standard deviation for the population of men is higher than women, so you get more outliers for men, smarter and dumber, but the average is the same. If that's true, then the math says the upper percent will consist of more men than women, assuming a split population. The dumb end will also have more men.

I realize this is taboo, but I don't see how any other conclusion can be made. I don't think it matters though, in the grand scheme of things, assuming the hiring is based on merit rather than bias. And, if the above is true, there's a better chance that you hire a dumb man than a dumb woman, so merit is important.
I generally agree but having a lightbulb that can be scheduled to change brightness, temperature, and on/off status has been pretty great for my sleep. Only being able to control it with my phone is a pain in the ass especially when the widget breaks and I now have to unlock, open an app, and flip through screens just to enter my bedroom.

I find this a very reasonable approach. I also find it natural that language evolves and sometimes it can even be marginally beneficial to artificially guide the evolution. All in all, in practice it just doesn't matter in my life.
yes, that makes sense for your use case i.e. you're not 'interested' in subscribing in general but you only want to watch a specific show.

For me, if I want to get the package (in general and not for a specific instance), I'd rather pay upfront (so far as it's not expensive) than the monthly subscription. Psychologically, I feel like - 'I just eat the cost and I'm done'. So I'd rather just pay you $100 for the entire year or say $60 for the entire year of Sirius XM than a monthly thing.
I don't mind "main" for the main branch but for existing projects...

Resisting Attack by Repairing the Damage
Let’s zoom out a bit. The big picture is that by using discrimination they are not hiring based on merit and therefore the ability to produce the best goods and services is impaired. If these discriminatory hiring practices put them at a productive disadvantage, then companies that hire out of merit should, over time, outcompete them in a free market and put them out of business. No regulation required.
Well that's not good for them either.

Yes and no to fresh engineers being good. I’ve met many fresh engineers that integrated and soon outperformed their older peers in a couple months. My first engineer position I went from new hire to lead on most projects in about a year. I was surprised and dumbfounded how much better I was than my peers (expect one he was amazing and I learned a lot from him). There a lot of good and bad engineers and experience doesn’t make up for bad engineers.
More than just wanting too much money, they think you are going to be bored going back to gruntwork and if you are bored you'll be looking to switch jobs again in a year.

The sad thing is someone like that would probably produce a better product thanks to their years of experience, and even possibly become a mentor to the rest of the team, but that's not the kind of thing recruiters think about.
But for the record, my first hire was 10yrs older than me, my last one is probably 10yrs older as well. So I still value experience of people who are longer in the industry
