Exactly this. Even using the phrase 'trans woman' is a concession, implying that these men are a subcategory of women, rather than of men. And that it's possible to 'trans' into this category.

(This is why in radical feminist circles, they are typically referred to as 'trans-identifying males' instead.)
Just as the the pro-life stance ignores the question of the woman. There are the rights of two beings in play here, requiring compromise… something that is nowhere to be found in these discussions.

Compromise is made harder by three things, one is the parasitical relationship that only disadvantages a woman (who doesn’t want a child), the second is that a woman’s body flushing a fetus is a natural occurrence, and third is that occasionally the removal of the fetus, dead or alive, is medically required for the woman to survive.

The bans on abortions being proposed are not compromises.
SSL ruined this.

I did this for fun a while back in our office.

We had some people who would burn too much time on social media, so, they got added to a special rule on the `pf` firewall surrounding the office which blurred all images from selected sites, like facebook. I blurred instead of something more obvious like blocking or inverting the images since it was designed to counter casual use and was more amusing. Anybody who couldn't evade my trivial firewall block shouldn't have been working there.

I remember watching logs and I would progressively ratchet up the blur level if it wasn't effective enough.

I terminated the experiment when an employee casually told me he had an appointment at the eye doctor because it was getting hard to see his computer screen, it would never get any better than this.
It's a tragedy that none of the 314s survive to this day. What an amazing period in aviation history.
A desirable property for this is to be able to generate only some part of the terrain, but if you're using a seeded PRNG then you have to generate the same bits at a time. You could solve this with chunking, but it's not trivial.
Google Maps developed an infuriating trait during my own usage of it: the shy, disappearing street names!

its a real battle at times messing around with the zoom and centering to figure how to make it display the name of a road I care about.
"franchise or retail shops" is a pretty broad definition. Some of those shops will be lifestyle, and others could be investments.

I've been using Apple Maps for the last couple of years, and they've served me just fine.

I'm told that it is quite dependent upon where you live, though. A friend of mine, from Minnesota, says they aren't so good, over there.

As far as software goes, I use Apple Maps, because I don't feel like paying licensing fees, or including fat dependencies.

I have never received any complaints about the accuracy of the maps in my apps.
> Shorter terms devolve the actual functions of governance to unelected,

Baked into that statement is the assumption shorter electoral terms means shorter periods in power. It doesn't.

Governments tend to stay in power for about 8 years where I live, which has 3 year terms. That doesn't seem to be much different to the UK, were terms are twice as long, or the US for that matter. But individual politicians are often there for decades. The fate of the election tends to depend on 10 or 20 swinging seats, out of about 80. Typically a bureaucrat is going to be dealing with politicians with decades of experience at handling bureaucrats.

It's not always true of course. Occasionally, the electorate does get riled up when the government does a particularly poor job. And then it isn't just a matter of 10 or 20 seats, most of them change, and it's after a minimal term in office. But that's only happened literally once in 60 years to me. Yes, that's inefficient, but I don't see any choice. Occasionally, the political class needs to be reminded who is actually in charge. 3 year reminders seems to work well enough.

The fact of the matter is that the US is laid out in a way that cars are necessary for most places. Even if you actually get people to vote and participate in their local politics, that does not change how things are already laid out. It's not going to magically fix neighborhoods being 10-20 mins driving away from grocery stores and businesses.

I -want- to reduce car usage, but I'm also realistic.

"If that is the case, then why don't they make their voices heard?"

Some people do. See strong towns for example. Yeah, there's also NIMBY-ism. Turns out people working minimum wage jobs (who have to commute because they can't afford to live downtown) don't have as much time or energy to participate in local politics as well-off folks. But let's keep on blaming people!!

Also, I'm not sure if you understand what creepy means. Even if your points may be correct, I'm disinclined to engage with someone who calls everyone who doesn't exactly agree with them "creepy".
Your feedback is all related to directions, but I have also found Google Maps to have an increasingly cluttered and unfriendly UI just for browsing and searching maps on mobile. Everything seems to be too many taps away and basic use cases like looking for the nearest restaurant are quite frustrating. Switching to Apple Maps was like the first day of spring.

Google as an overall company seems to have jumped the shark some years ago and the slow decline is starting to become apparent through many of their products, search included.
- Cement is extremely perishable.
- Contruction projects need cement at very precise times.
- When that precise time will occur is hard to predict -- construction projects have a lot of delays.
- In a city there are a lot of construction projects at any given time.

So using software to coordinate cement mixing and delivery has a lot of potential to reduce waste -- or that is, it did back in the dot-com boom when CEMEX started working on that. If you heard about that back then, you were hearing about something with a lot of promise! From what I remember it worked out really well.
To give just one example, I think Effective Altruists focus far too little on meta-science. Much of what they want to do depends on meta-science, and in science it's quite difficult to fund that sort of work, so it seems odd to me that it's not considered a top priority on 80,000 Hours.

I'm sure there are other areas, but I haven't put an effort into listing them. Global priorities work is pretty hard.

Also, apparently 80,000 Hours now considers AI safety only "somewhat neglected", so perhaps the EAs behind 80,000 Hours agree with me more than I thought. https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/positively-shaping-a...

I've been running into this constantly. It seems like it has no allowance for the average number of seconds spent at a light, so it sends me routes cutting through town that end up being slower because of all the signals, when it could have just sent me up the freeway three more exits.

I've learned to be critical of the route and look before I leave.
So are you advocating for entirely mixed-sex prisons or what? That's an extremely radical view.

An important part of addressing these issues of violence in the prison system has been, up until recently, the segregation of inmates by their sex. This is in addition to other policies regarding the prison environment.

If you want to undo that policy of sex segregation, you should have a very good reason, and proof that it won't cause harm to the sex who, in general, have lesser physical strength and can be impregnated by the other.

If all you want to do is to generate a texture by looping over all pixels in sequence, then yes, you can use a RNG. But in many use cases you need to evaluate a noise function at an arbitrary (x, y) position (or (x, y, z) or even higher dimension) which means you need to hash the coordinates to get the pseudorandomness you want.
How do you mitigate the privacy risk of mail providers reusing email addresses for accounts when their customers stop paying for services? (e.g., I heard that fastmail do this).

For example, user@example.com signs-in to your site and stores data they expect to be private, they stop using the mail provider and the mail provider deletes the user's account which allows it to be re-used, then another unrelated user signs-in to the site and takes-over the account.

I imagine the only viable way would be a whitelist of domains of mail providers that are known to not recycle email addresses (like Gmail), or to also check if the WHOIS data for a domain changed.
Consider what the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had to say about pandemic management in 2008:

“The notion that we need to ‘trade liberty for security’ is misguided and dangerous. Public health concerns cannot be addressed with law enforcement or national security tools.”

13 years later, in a guest essay in The New York Times, the ACLU proclaimed that:

“the real threat to civil liberties comes from states banning vaccine and mask mandates”.

Think what you want about these policies, but the shift in ACLU values is real.

Streaming is just a medium. How you curate and listen is the message. I might be a bit older than average here but I converted to iPod on first generation and I’m on the streaming bandwagon now but I never got into the habit of shuffling. I listen to albums, track by track in order. Always have regardless of the tech I was using and don’t feel like I’ve missed much. Actually I’ve gained a bit because I can branch out pretty wide from my core stuff and I can put on a playlist for ease when I just want background noise. Also, I remember the feeling of buying an album out of pure curiosity and thinking it was trash. That doesn’t happen any more.

So really all to say, it might be worth trying some habit hacks before flipping the whole thing over.

The part I don’t always like is the app experience. Not that it’s hard to use but browsing a shelf /rack is so much better. Just like finding a movie at blockbuster was easier than on Netflix. Grocery store > instacart.

Google Maps fundamentally doesn't understand the difference between signposted speed, and practical speed, either.

I was on holiday in the UK a couple of years ago, down in south west, and it insisted on sending us down these really narrow, single-car-width country roads (with passing places). I grew up in the UK, and learned to drive on them, so no particular fuss with actually driving down them. The problem is they're "National Speed Limit" roads (60mph / 30mph in built up areas). They're just too narrow, and too twisty, to be able to come even close to it, let alone do it safely.

Unless there has been enough cars using Google Maps going down that road, within a recent enough time period so that it knows the road is currently slow, it'll send you down it assuming you're able to go at something approximating the limit. Sod the large road that's just a little bit further away and legitimately can be used at those speeds. It got almost farcical. I'd even attempt to persuade it otherwise, and part way through it would reroute and I'd still end up going down one.

Even without height restrictions, limited ownership of land still has the problems exhibited in the game.

Zoning and highly restrictive building codes were invented after Georgism, and are ways to further heighten the basic unfairness of land.

Local politics are dominated by landowners, as they tend to have the most control of, and greatest interest in controlling, the local levers of power.

It is ironically why I'm less concerned about private equity buying houses to rent than I am of local small time landlords buying houses. PE firms won't control local politicians in the same way that local landlords control politicians, because it's too much work and requires ridiculously intimidate knowledge of the local patronage networks.

Apple Maps has the same feature, but it's an opt-in change so I just ignore the announcement and it'll keep me on the previous route. Plus it's one of the things Siri works well for, just saying No will cancel it.
> The absolutely blood boiling part about it is that Google will tell me that it's going to take me on an alternate route, unless I press "No" or "Cancel" or something on the phone within a few minutes. How am I supposed to get my phone and press cancel while driving?

Last summer this had my blood boiling. I was part of some backed up traffic but I could already see my destination on the other side of a river, Google Maps saying ~25 minutes away. Suddenly it asks if I want to take an alternate to save 2 minutes. I look at the map and it looks like a pretty wild path to try to save 2 minutes over so I say no. About a minute later it asks again. I say no. This keeps repeating, with a different estimate between 1-4 minutes. I keep saying no. Finally I don't manage to hit the no button quick enough and it assumes I want to save the 2 minutes... so now every exit it starts saying "take the exit...". It was at about this point I thought to just turn the car volume off until I got over the bridge and turn it back on for the rest of the directions.

There was just something about how annoying it managed to be that set me off about it, it couldn't have been less helpful and more of a pain if it tried. Now whenever I hear that prompt that memory comes up. That and like you say the damn "you're on the fastest route". No shit, you'd go off your rocker if I wasn't why bother telling me.

Recently I was going through Chicago and a similar thing started happening during a heavy traffic period but this time rather than "there is a faster route" it was "stay on blah blah for the next <x> miles". Again constantly repeating. I got to thinking about it and I came to the conclusion Google Maps must have an issue where if you stay relatively still and there is any location drift when it snaps you back onto the road it considers it the same as if you had just went through an intersection and it should update you on what's next or going on. In the case of going over the bridge in Cincinnati that meant telling me about the ever so slightly shorter path I could use. In the case of going through Chicago that meant don't take any of the coming splits. Or at least that's the best logical reasoning I could come up with, either way I just muted my car again.

It pretty much happened to Knight Trading. They turned on a dev trading algo and wound up acquiring a massive amount of positions (and thus risk). Their clearing firm forced them to close all those positions and the cost of crossing the bid-ask spread wiped them out.

Never read the book (http://www.knightmareonwallstreet.com/) but watched it happen in real time from the trade desk at a different firm.

You could also say it happens to small banks. If you fail some sort of FDIC testing, you're classified as at-risk and they force you to sell to a larger bank so as not to risk depositor funds.

The quantity of steel may be inherently limited, but we can still make more than what we have now.

Land behaves differently because of the extremely in elastic supply. And it's not very fungible; a lot in the middle of Nevavda hundreds of miles from the nearest freeway is not exchangeable with the same size lot in Palo Alto.

And the limit itself is the amount of iron ore; that would be considered economic land, but the steel may just be considered capital.
Assuming your business is a private entity, then obviously the answer is yes...
> If you don't think this is an issue, can you explain why we should have any sex segregation in prisons at all?

Historically, mostly patriarchal misogyny; specifically, the belief that while women were inherently more virtuous, those who had “fallen” a state subject to imprisonment had fallen further, and less correctibly than men, and that they were a corrupting influence that would impair the rehabilitation of imprisoned men (that's also why imprisoned women, originally segregated within prisons rather than in separate prisons, were often given fewer meals, not encouraged to socialize, and otherwise treated worse than male prisoners.)

More recently, in order to avoid reexamining the actual policy of segregation, societies have tried to retcon a more modern rationalization, but that rationalization is not actually the reason for the policy, just an excuse for it.

Lead isn't added to help increase the lifetime of anything. In-fact, that's hilarious, because lead fouls spark plugs and the rest of the engine. I've personally removed spark plugs with pea sized nuggets of lead wedged in the electrode. Problems caused by lead (e.g., stuck valves) are probably the #1 reason you have to overhaul cylinders. Lead is an octane booster, that's it.

"Knocking" is an antiquated term. Knocking = detonation, and any severe detonation would destroy an aircraft engine. For example, this is why we take off with our mixture so rich, to create a huge margin against detonation by lowering internal cylinder pressures.

The article notes that the relationships were consensual. Like, do you think no one in prison would want to have sex? (The article could be misleading, but also there's presumably lots of consensual sex in prison, much as there is quite a bit of non-consensual sex).
