What if you're not wanting less white people in your life because they are white, but because white people in general are more likely to be Republicans?

Race is a protected class but currently it's not illegal to discriminate against political opinions and 'race' is a proxy for those.

> DOJ’s accusations of racial discrimination are baseless. In 2011, both houses of the Texas Legislature were controlled by large Republican majorities, and their redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats. It is perfectly constitutional for a Republican-controlled legislature to make partisan districting decisions, even if there are incidental effects on minority voters who support Democratic candidates.

If it's a good enough excuse for Texas republicans to prevent minorities voting, then surely it's a good enough excuse to want to exclude white people from your life?

It's plummeting every time :) As much as I don't like the "don't look at this (this week's chart), look at this (last 2 years chart)" meme, it really applies each time there's a crypto crash reported by every news site. Still, we recovered every time. Let's see how the price is going in 3 months.
I have specifically said that they have no obligations. But if they silence an opinion because they don't like it they don't adhere to the principle of freedom of speech.

I don't think social media platforms have any legal obligation to allow anyone to state anything. It was a culture that had formed on the net in most places. I has no relation to the law or the US first amendment in any way. It was a foundational rule for the exchange of ideas and that always requires freedom of speech.

Also, almost every institution that want intellectual exchange has to adhere to the principle because it is a fundamental part of dialectic. Many educational institutions are falling short here lately, but at least most are improving again. But that is a completely different topic.

People that silence others without a justification are rightfully looked down upon in my personal opinion because they are not capable of intellectual exchange. And these ideas are also enshrined in human rights for a reason, although these are sadly also not really legally binding.
I don't disagree, but that also does not indicate a defeat. Russia seems committed to the war, and while they have had a... questionable performance thus far, it really seems like they aren't exactly on the edge of a collapse.

I would've agreed with you 3 months ago that russia would've needed a very very quick victory to avoid an economic collapse but right now, I don't see that having a huge effect anymore either. The internal situation is probably better for putin now than before the war and their economy has proven to be oddly resilient. Though time is still against them, because the ukrainian army gets better equipment and training by the day.

Obviously the russians have not won, but the title is weird and reminds me of an opposite, almost equally uninformed, narrative that was common in the weeks before the war (ukraine will fall in days!). We have been hearing "imminent coup d'état/putin is hiding/ the military is about to mutiny" predictions daily since the beginning of the war, and I honestly don't see the point. If anything, it's super counterproductive (PR wise) to the ukrainian cause.

There is zero coïncidence in El Salvador and the Central African Republic, nos. 115 and 154 on the corruption perceptions index [1], having implemented Bitcoin as legal tender with zero transparency around the holding wallets.

It seems to me that if you are using NFTs to maintain ownership of property you are essentially inventing a kind of bearer share, which in most of the world isn't legal for anti-money laundering policy reasons.

> So an adult human female (XX phenotype) who is taking masculinizing hormones and thus has a beard, body hair, a heavy voice, and perhaps has had his breasts surgically removed, or even had penile reconstruction surgery, is, in your opinion, a woman?

Yes. She's a woman who has taken masculinizing hormones, and had cosmetic surgery. She is not changing her sex. She remains female, and is therefore a woman.

Consider this: the women athletes who have doped with testosterone, did they become men? No, of course not. What if they got breast cancer and had to have a double mastectomy? Also no - they're still women.

Investment banks use this in production. You have a complex product whose price is a function of many inputs: P = f(x,y,z,...)

Your risks are basically the changes of the price when one of the inputs changes (delta is dP/dS where S is spot, vega is dP/dσ where σ is vol, etc.).

Using finite differences, you'd have to bump each of the inputs. With reverse AD, you get all the risks in one go.

> Some doctors earn around one million USD a year in the U.S, that's money that makes insurance more expensive and unaffordable for everyone.

You're seriously not comparing yourself to physicians in level of importance in Society, are you?!

As I said, after COVID we got a real wake up call of who mattered, and Nurses and Physicians deserve every penny that they get, its the system that is broken: see Stanford nurse strike.

Moreover, it's actually not the physician salaries that keep things unaffordable, but the over-pricing of every bloated expense, procedure, medication, drug etc... that keeps it at those levels and simply because they can.

Believe me, I just did 2 MRIs that I put off for several years because of COVID, physicians who I met before COVID who were doing well, and are probably better of financially now then before have been run-down significantly and they all had the same tells of using amphetamines/cocaine that I saw in my undergrad as pre-med students and bio students did the same courses.

The real blame is at the administrative level, and accounting not the physician or nurse level. My MRI required that 2 specialists sign off on it before the Insurance approved it and everyone took a cut, such that by the time I got my MRI it was actually less (in the 1000s) than the 2 specialist visits to get that one MRI. I did this once again for my 2nd one and the same thing.

I also got an EMG in 2019 and had to go for another one, it didn't matter that I had significant atrophy and weakness, not that I was approved for one before when it wasn't as bad as it is now. I had to go through the same process and everyone got their cut.

So, again... no you're embellishing YOUR value if you think you are comparing apples to apples, its simply not the same thing at all.

And none of you were working double shifts in an ER or Urgent care when COVID was at it's peak, or the large amount of attempted or successful suicides as lockdown, so really, get some perspective. You work on computeres, and many of you boast about really only doing 4 hours of work a day, the fact that you're posts counts are as high and still complaining about salary is testament of this very facade.

And no, I don't agree, the 'system' was not based on greed, you chose to make it about greed because so many other have as well and is another matter entirely, because most physicians and some nurses are drowning in debt by the time they get to earning a decent salary. I agree they should optimize for that given those circumstances and many have after COVID and those who haven't are jumping ship or leaving the Industry all together, which is why we should pay them whatever they deserve/ask for (within reason, of course) to retain them.

People aren't even aware of how many nurses are simply over the job entirely and will be quitting in masse.

Someone did not think that through. You could make the same argument with about: that they're essentially the same as some number in a spreadsheet.

What makes people trust a currency is who is controlling it. In the case of some cryptocurrencies that answer may be "people who contribute processing power". For USD that is "the US government", and for miscellaneous virtual currencies it may be some company who manages it in spreadsheet...

That is because that is a standards organization's job. They exist to document what is actually being done, not editorialize about what should be done.

This seems to be a good example of the virtue of this sort of behaviour. The mostly arbitrary changes that have been done here have in themselves caused more problems and wasted effort than just keeping everything the same as it was.

To be clear, in the paper you cite, it says that median wage has decreased 3% for men and increased 28% for women. Overall, clearly an increase.

Here's the chart that most people cite when taking about wage stagnation: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/04/50-years-of-us-wages-...

That chart (which isn't actually median wage, it's excluding supervisory workers) shows flat wages between 1973 and 2019. But it shows rising wages between 1980 and 2019.

It is important to note when people talk about wage stagnation that median wages have risen pretty steadily since 1997, with an extended period of decline or stagnation before that.
Haha, my bad.
People have blamed illness among Gulf War 1 veterans on a lot of things; I dunno if the "official history" admits the presence of any chemical weapons. Or ill veterans, for that matter.

There's the pesky issue that any chemical weapons found are likely to have had "made in the USA" stamps on them.

Anyway its great that its not forgotten. We can be confident that sometime in the next 30 or 50 years the mistakes and misdeed of our government over the last decade will be brought to light and we can correct the errors and right the wrongs... right?
Nice point! Thanks.

What I also am curious though is why PCIe-based USB-C/Thunderbolt controller cards have so little (usually just one, some have two) numbers of ports? In the worst case (e.g. if it's extremely hard/expensive to produce a controller chip to support multiple independent ports) I would at least augment such cards with on-board hubs to turn one port into more so a user wouldn't need to attach an external hub.

In fact I have never seen a computer (neither laptop nor desktop) with more than 2 USB-C ports. This makes me feel like USB-C just has failed to become anything much more than a Micro-USB successor. Everything (incl. keyboards, mice and printers) going USB-C is probably never going to happen, is it?

> Why have a max of two? Seems arbitrary, why not one?

Finding the sweet spot implies trial end error. It's certainly not 1 and I suspect 2 is too restrictive unnecessarily. The relevant is to restrain housing from being a financial instrument not to repress people. If a person can't buy a dozen houses the demand (and consequently the price) will fall.
> Like this very article, there were plenty saying "the /usr split is there for a reason!". No, it's just an historical quirk.

For those of us who ran small-disk NFS workstations back in the day having the split and a common /usr was no quirk and very useful. (There were also diskless (Sun, OpenFirmware netbooting) workstations: common /bin, /usr, but per-machine /var on the NFS server.)

Yeah, except if you have a fleet of several hundred or thousand workstations to provision. "Cheap" is relative, especially if you're an academic institution.

It’s about risk. US debt is sustainable because bond holders trust them to effectively manage their economy so that they can pay them back.

If I would guess it could be with this part:

> The number of the sender and that of the service provider they claim to be, do not match. Moreover, when you receive a message from bigger service providers, (f.e. banks, post offices, or delivery services) they will mostly have their company names displayed instead of their numbers.
