It doesn’t. I think GP is confusing small cell counts in micro data (a real problem) with small numbers in aggregate data (sometimes a problem).

In this case, just a count and prison is not a privacy issue as someone would have to already know the individual is trans to identify them. And that’s the only information contained in the data release.
This feels a bit petty but a huge part of why I use Apple Maps over GMaps now is just the performance. GMaps is sluggish and can't reliably hit 60Hz even on brand new hardware.

We have space-age CPUs and GPUs in our pockets that are basically supercomputers! They are faster than most laptops! But somehow Apple Maps scrolls and zooms like butter but Google Maps drops frames all over the floor and makes the whole experience Powerpoint-like.

It feels like Google Maps has spent the last few years packing a kitchen sink's worth of features into itself (much of which seems of dubious utility) but at the same time completely lost the plot on really basic fundamentals like whether or not their renderer can maintain 60Hz on an iPhone 13 Pro, or whether their transit overlays continue to generate illegible lines.

Shadow libraries are a competition to the official ways to access the papers.

Just like in any market, the various offerings have advantages and disadvantages.

- Advantage of, say, Elsevier website: is legal

- Disadvantage of, say, Elsevier website: accessing costs money (even if your university pays)

- Advantage of, say, sci-hub: is free

- Disadvantage of, say, sci-hub: accessing is somewhere between legal grayzone and illegal, depending on jurisdiction

As in any market, by your choices, you decide which offering you prefer:

- If you decide to get the paper from Elseviert (even if you can access it "for free", because your university pays), you vote for "Elesvier's business practices are perfectly fine."

- If you decide to get the paper from sci-hub, you vote for "what sci-hub does is less evil than what Elsevier does."

Choose the market offering that fits your alignment.
So would you then say that the popularity of sans-serifs as body text on printed media such as posters, back-covers, consumer packages, etc. is due to them preferring style over legibility?
Watch + Bluetooth headphones go great together.

Especially if you're on Wi-Fi and I believe on cellular (we still don't have it here in 3rd world) you can just go hiking with the watch and stream your music on Bluetooth without phone.

Same for messaging, fitness tracking, and voice calls. I think it's enough for that device.
Not for phones without SD cards on which you might have limited space or for situations/phones where you have to conserve battery.
> It was probably meant to protect to right of the people to engage in a violent revolution when required, and enacted by people who had literally done so to create the United States.

This is how I learned 2A. More or less, no government can last forever and at some point governments will need to be overthrown and set anew. Sound familiar?

> We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

They even provided some basic criteria for when might be a good time:

> Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

I was taught that 2A was the tool that ensures that this section of the Declaration of Independence would still be relevant to their new government.

On a grand strategy level, it's been a disaster, since Russia started a war of conquest (bad) far short of the absolute minimum 2:1 manpower advantage required. (very bad)

On a theater strategy level, it's been a disaster, as generals operated independently in opening many separate thrusts, without force concentration, and were defeated in detail.

On a doctrine level it's been a disaster, as the Russians apparently forgot what combined arms were, with the observed loss of hundreds of armored vehicles to airstrikes, (because RU air force didn't establish air supremacy) accurate artillery, (because RU ranged fires haven't been able to suppress dispersed enemy artillery) and ATGMs. (because RU infantry failed to screen armor against enemy infantry)

On a tactical level, morale has been zero, as RU conscripts abandon equipment, shoot up their vehicles to avoid being sent to the front, and run over general officers after failed attacks.

So. General staff at the front sounds nice, but does not appear to be a substitute for winning.

I've been a Plex user for years. I started playing around with Jellyfin this week and I think I'll probably use both for a while since they can share the same library.

Plexamp has been great for music. I can put on any CD I own, in FLAC quality, without having to go locate the physical disc. I've spent much of pandemic filing in holes in the back catalog of my favorite artists.

If I want a mix, I tend to open up Tidal and let it build a "radio station" based on my mood.

Ads in an app which is being used for navigation while driving, are you serious?
if so, then Google should be taken to court for reckless endangerment.
In-app ads (tailored for attention grabbing and engagement) and safe driving are simply incompatible.

No sane pilot would ever accept ads popping up on the controls in an airplane cockpit, so let's keep them away from a car's dashboard, too. The fewer distractions the better.
This seems to target the "bigger" cpu's in a car, but there are tens of ECU's that are far smaller and that I think could benefit from a better platform. A much better one than AUTOSAR, which is a nightmare to work with. I swear I don't know what automakers are thinking with pushing AUTOSAR.
Aye. If I have to age naturally, I’d prefer to be like my grandmother than either of my parents. She made it to her mid 90s, an extra 15 years of good health in both body and mind and got to meet her great-granddaughter.
> Automakers are moving toward providing more personalized and intuitive driving experiences while becoming more embedded within a driver’s personal ecosystem. Doing so creates opportunities for additional revenue streams and improved customer loyalty. The Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System provides automakers with a common, updatable platform that enables automakers to better meet customer expectations via frequent and seamless feature upgrades and deployment of new applications and services.

Honestly, this sounds horrible. This is PR speak for "Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System will make it easier to serve ads and collect user data that can be sold."

Social media is an environment for spreading brain viruses. Here is how it works (with Twitter as an example, even without an algorithmic timeline):

A person tweets something. They have N followers

A subset of those followers may see the tweet (the equivalent to getting close to an infected person), and a further subset of those will click retweet (the equivalent to getting infected)

The proces then repeats with their follower's followers and so on (exponentially)

As such, Twitter is an environment where various ideas and their mutations are generated in a similar manner to viral organisms, and the "fittest" ones survive and spread exponentially. You could probably even calculate the R0 of a tweet (i.e. average number of retweets, quote tweets etc caused by a previous tweet)

All of this in turn means that the fitness function of the environment is incredibly important. Now, would you say Twitter as an environment encourages carefully checking information with other sources or for contradictions before clicking retweet? Or does it favor tweets that provoke a quick emotional reaction and a retweet within a couple of seconds of reading them?

Note: for specific harm, I posted an example of what social media can do to people (link is on threadreader https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1458881015917678594.html). I realize its long, but its really hard to explain the problem without seeing the effect in its entirety, especially given how we all (me included) hold free speech in high regard. (Yes I still do, but I now also understand how easily it can be abused to cause immeasurable harm in our new social media environments, and I think we must be at least aware of this)
It's like online voting. It works as long as the government does not have a malicious intent of staying in power indefinitely.

Then the secret word list might include stuff like "free speech" or "Uighur" and the world would go to hell.
By all available evidence it's horribly neglected at Big Tech firms, we keep seeing examples of AI researchers there not being taken seriously despite the quality of their work.
Jeffrey Snover claims Microsoft demoted him for inventing PowerShell
I haven't had the same success with Deno that I expected. At first, I was shocked by how good the tooling is, and I was super happy with its dependency management. All of the problems started once I started getting into actual business logic.

`redis` and `ioredis` `npm` packages don't work with Deno, even with the Node compat layer (I tried). So you have to use the Deno driver for Redis. But you look up the library for this, and it's experimental: https://deno.land/x/redis@v0.25.5

Same deal with Postgres. `pg` would not compile at all. Knex also didn't work (this was an older project). I'm assuming this is because these two packages use native Node.js plugins.

I like Deno a lot, and the out of the box TypeScript support is a gamechanger, but I had a really tough time working with it and actually being productive.
It's cool that ACME supports this at all, I remember having to spend hundreds of dollars for wildcard certificates not that long ago
I imagine it will prove fascinating for economists to observe how well the down-stickiness of wages holds up.
I hoped this article would provide more info than it actually did.

For me, a javascript developer that mainly use Node.js for work, Deno is interesting and I want to use it but the hosting part is what prohibits me from using it. In node it's easy to run production code with pm2, you can cluster it and it's super easy to configure it so that it will run one node process per available core.

With Deno, you can't do this because there is no clustering available so you kind of have to run it on single core machines to get maximum performance out of your hardware. In other words, on cloud solutions like Deno deploy or a Kubernetes cluster configured to run it on single cpu docker containers.

I am not interested in that and as long as it is that way, running Deno is unfortunately a waste of my hardware. Sure there are web workers and they are great for stuff but if my process dies for some reason I don't want that to halt the application.
Apple Maps still cannot give directions via bicycle yet GMaps can. Maybe it's better in other cities, but that doesn't help me.
> I simply have no interest in engaging

It's not just that you have no interest (which would be fine), you have made falsifiable claims about my beliefs, and you ignore the evidence I am presenting to you which disprove your claims.

You are lying to yourself about my beliefs. Not a very scientific approach.

Having said that, in the really early days it (or my phone, an iPhone 4 and later a 6S) was a terrible experience a lot of the time. Even with good Wi-Fi I’d wait for songs to play and then they would probably still stutter. It’s seamless now though, as long as I have a decent mobile signal.
> (tangent, but hopefully interesting!)

Very interesting! I don't have much to add but wanted to drop a note and let you know that your posts in this thread have been fascinating to read.
Let me take a step back and look at this another way. The initial comment I replied to looked at the issue only from the perspective of the woman in the cell. It treated it as "should a trans woman be with her: yes/no?".

But that's not the actual choice prisons have to make. The choice they have to make is "which cell does the trans woman go into"? Given that there likely aren't enough trans women prisoners to put them only with other trans women, the choice is "with a cis man or with a cis woman." And I believe pretty strongly that putting a trans woman in a cell with a cis male is more likely to result in assault than putting a trans woman with a cis woman.

I could be wrong. But given what I've read about trans women being the target of sexual assault outside of prison and sexual assault among males in male prisons, I think it's a fairly safe bet.

I guess the question hinges on whether you imagine a trans woman to be more "like a man" (stereotypically stronger, aggressive, and more prone to perpetrate assault) or "like a woman" (stereotypically weaker, passive, and more prone to being the victim of assault). What I know about trans women suggests the latter more than the former.

Obviously, individual behavior trumps all. Any particular woman (trans or not) who has a history of violence or sexual assault towards women should not be housed with another woman. The same should be true for men (again, trans or not).

The name of the game should be keeping perpetrators away from victims, and my belief is that "has a penis while other has a vagina" is a relatively poor proxy for that. Yes, there is a strong correlation, but that's a Simpson's paradox from combining the much smaller trans population with the very large cis population. If you were to separate out the datasets and consider cis men and women separately from trans men and women, I suspect you would see no or the opposite correlation.

My favorite parasite story is in Episode 404 of the "This American Life" podcast, act 3. It's about a guy who has terrible allergies (to pollen) and fixes it by intentionally infecting himself with hookworms. It somehow calms down his immune system.

> Onerous certification incentivizes companies to invent in other countries.

I'm sure there are lots of countries around the world that would bend their aviation rules to whatever whim a company wanted. I'm assuming they don't take advantage of that because of the lack of infrastructure, talent, funding, and a viable commercial market.
From what I've read from others a PDP-8 or maybe a PDP-11 is about the limit. They got a 12-bit computer with 32 KiW to be a time sharing system for 17 users with TSS-8. So they were still quite capable.
That is a bit silly, but on the other hand, sometimes it’s important to check that you’re calling the right branch, or that you aren’t confusing a business with a similarly-named one in another city, and a map view is good for that.
While I really prefer the term “bedicked,” what is the term for people with penises regardless of gender? Is there a term that won’t result in someone being called a transphobe?

I’ve heard the term “sex assigned at birth” but that’s not accurate in this situation because I’m interested in people with penises and if someone was born male and had their penis removed surgically I wouldn’t want them included in my population of interest.
I love this style. Just compare it to the Wikipedia article. So dry and boring with no sense of how amazing this accomplishment was.

Remarkable. The Founders totes protected the right to bear arms because of "racism," and not because they had just used the right to bear arms to found for themselves a new country free of the British monarchy. That makes total sense.

I have discovered so many (good) bands via Spotify over the past 5 years it's honestly insane. If I had stuck to "guessing" at what I might like, I would not have had such a rich collection of new music from relatively unknown or foreign artists. It's also allowed me to sample so many varieties of genres without any direct monetary involvement. I wouldn't trade it for the world honestly.

I also support the artists I listen to by buying merch/going to concerts to supplement the pittance they get from streaming royalties.
Open windows or no open windows I still don't see how any of that says anything about the way the scope of the switcher works. There is no law of UI that says "an app with no foreground windows must not be switched to the same way via the same method as a window from another app would be".

hrt is effectively chemical castration by another name. one of the primary effects of estrogen and anti androgens is erectile dysfunction combined with the shrinking & atrophy of the genitals along with a typically highly diminished sex drive.
on balance, this issue, just like sports, is incredibly optically poor for trans people regardless of the facts at hand. the suggestion that mtf trans create an elevated risk for rapes and assaults is a deeply unfair cultural bias that is probably not going away for at least a generation. similarly putting mtf trans into the male prison system seems likely to subject them to incredibly high risk. there are other nations & cultures that have had a legally recognized 3rd gender for much longer than trans rights have been an area of focus in the west, i imagine we could learn a great deal from them on these issues in particular.
“Open application without windows” is not the same thing as “background task.” When I run PostgreSQL on my Mac, it doesn’t show up in the application switcher, because it’s not an application.

I find it convenient to be able to have an application with no windows. The big reason is for applications with longer startup times—unfortunately, something we don’t have a good solution for. The other thing I like about it is that I can close a document and create a new document without figuring out if I need to reopen the application after closing a document. Closing a window only closes the application for cases where that makes sense (System Preferences).
Makes sense for who? If all competition becomes winner takes all, then most humans become losers.
QR Code scans are a missed opportunity for most in 2022
I have a career in performance marketing. Building tracking platform tech, offers, and staring out mountains of data. QR Codes have been around since 1994, but it took a global pandemic in 2020 to make it something grandma knows how to use (at least in the US).

As someone who is used to making decisions off numbers, I'm still baffled by the number of static QR Codes out there. For an extra few milliseconds of load time, why not find out things like # of scans, location, browser and even try to capture data before they get to where you're sending them anyway. You can do this with restaurant menus, billboards, catalogs, office visits, you name it. All missed opportunities!

We originally built https://autonix.io as a visitor management platform, but found out we went too deep on the problem. A well built visitor management platform is a tracking platform that can also capture visitor data. We made the visitor data piece optional and gave our full QR Code analytics suite away with all plans. There are a few great competitors in the space but IMO its a huge space once we get people like designers and small business owners onboard with understanding they can actually learn from those little square's they're putting all over the world!

Who said anything about Down’s syndrome? 1 in 10 clinically recognized pregnancies results in miscarriage (to say nothing of the pregnancies that end in miscarriage before they’re detected). When a wanted pregnancy naturally terminates or is deemed non-viable, doctors must often use abortion to extract the fetus in order to prevent further complications for the mother.

If you’re concerned about people terminating fertilized cells as a means for genetic selection, you should rather turn your attention to IVF.
