> If you work for, say, a FAANG company, you have pretty solid healthcare.

While you're employed. For how many days of sickness does your contract say do they have to keep you employed? Isn't it even employment at will?

I don't wanna enter this discussion further. I'm just gonna finish with that I experienced first hand someone making what's today nearly a million a year (in Germany no less!) and ending up on social security within a few years due to sickness and bad investment. And that's with universal health care. A good job, high earnings and decent savings give you leeway, but they will not protect you from tragedy and even more important they will not protect your kids from tragedy that have no fault in whatever happens.
Right, if you look at banking (which is regulated nationally) there is very little competition between banks in EU states. There are examples in other industries.

But I didn't compare it with the US at all, all I said was: the EU was formed, in part, because people in the 60s believed that US growth was stronger because the domestic market was larger (and that scale advantages were critically important to business success). This was a very common view in the 60s in the UK too (and held by the govt which embarked on a huge investment/forced merger program to boost domestic production that ended in disaster). And it was totally wrong, as subsequent economic performance demonstrated (the reason why the EU's single market is incomplete is nothing to do with language and everything to do with politics).

And how do you explain those products being dominant in the rest of the world? The UK went through this, tried to create globally competitive firms with scale by forcing companies to merge, almost all of them went bankrupt (have you heard of British Leyland? No?) because they were mismanaged, and produced bad products no-one wanted. It was like trying to add one to one and make twenty.
You do not control that person's body, nor is it really your business what they do to their breasts -- which they own.

Those that don't want to should probably reconsider having kids.

> Mothers are not always available when babies need to be fed.

This is why pumps exist. No problem.

Clearly it's propaganda for the non-trans majority that are not comfortable with trans people.

Just like trans people came up with their 'cis people' propaganda to deal with their uncomfortableness with non-trans people.

An eye for an eye makes the world blind...
Dark was infuriating to watch. Visually stunning, great characters and performances, but ultimately an intentionally obfuscated and meandering story that only ends up disappointing you.

It's kind of similar to Westworld season 1 or Lost -- there's this style of storytelling where you drop a bunch of interesting clues to lead you towards possible theories about whats really going on, and then all of those threads are dropped on the floor as if they never mattered. I find it abusive and disrespectful to the viewer.
This reminds me of every food production facility I worked at. When I flipped burgers, some people went entire shifts doing fake temperature checks. When I worked at a processing plant, people would smoke and chew right on the line.

Quality control is hard. I'm fully convinced you could have a "whistleblower" on any given facility in The world. And any perfection is an invitation to complacency.
TickTick is the best app I've found. I started with Todoist. But bugs and missing features made be check out the competition a few years back. I've been happy with the switch to TickTick, and I haven't had any reason to re-shop since.

TickTick has steadily improved/refined their offering without ever interrupting my existing workflows.

Thoughts/details about how I use it:

(1) I never try to remember to do anything. I just always add a quick reminder in TickTick and let my brain move on. I have ~300 reminders right now. This is part of the answer to how I remember to manage the list. The list has every I need to know/track in it, so the need for management shows up whenever the list becomes unwieldy. More on that below.

(2) Everything that needs to get done gets a due date. I add an arbitrary one if it doesn't have to get done by a certain date. I won't see any task with a due date again until the due date arrives. The only thing I regularly pay attention to is my "Today" view -- the list of due or overdue tasks.

(3) Actually-scheduled things go on my calendar. The to-do list is for things that don't necessarily have to get done at a fixed time. (Tick Tick is good about showing both your calendar and your tasks at the same time, so you can maintain this separation while still seeing what has to get done.)

(4) There are lots of tasks (e.g. perform annual maintenance) that I don't perform right away. Having these tasks automatically repeat 1 year from completion (vs. 1 year from the original due date) is a very helpful/useful option. (Both Todoist and TickTick support this.)

(5) I remind myself to do more things than I actually do. As tasks come up that I'm not going to perform right away, I re-schedule them (e.g. for 1 more week out). But once I've dismissed/delayed a task a few times, it's time to re-evaluate whether it's actually worth doing.

It's always interesting to notice thoughts like: "I should do this, but I'm about to skip doing so again." Sometimes this prompts working to develop new habits or other corrective action. But more often it results in me re-evaluating why I think I "should" do it and deleting the task. Until I take one of those actions, I have explicit evidence that my thoughts (what I should do) and actions (what I'm actually doing) aren't quite aligned. Seeing that gap is useful -- it provides some insights.

(6) The biggest downside of this system is that it can result in a mountain of delayed (so clearly not very important) tasks building up. But I find it better to deal with that as described in (5) than to be careful about what I add to my task list up front.

Isn't Canada already in America?
“Nothing to worry about if you’ve got nothing to hide” goes back even further than 2012.
This is absolutely ridiculous and objectively untrue.

Most of the food, drink, music, and art that is considered quintessentially American either derives from, was improved to it’s modern rendition, or was inspired by small towns. There’s literally a category called “Americana” for much of this.
> if you’re not trans you may not understand transphobia very well but it’s similar to white people saying they don’t think something is racist

This is just a terrible, terrible argument, that leads to a continual ratcheting up and broadening of the definition of "transphobia".

Transphobia should mean only "fear or hatred of trans people".

What it comes to mean, however: questioning self-identification, questioning trans women in women's sports, questioning trans women in women's spaces, questioning the use of puberty blockers in young children, among others. With these now defined as transphobia, it is no longer necessary to acknowledge any principled, genuine objections or concerns there, because even raising these topics is transphobic (or TERF) by definition. The sad thing here is, a frank discussion might indeed allow trans women and bio women to come to some accommodation, but insisting that some people are the only ones who can define certain words like transphobia elides those conversations.

No. Words matter and words belong to us all, not only to those who decide they want to determine the bounds of debate. I say all this with huge, massive respect to the gender warriors out there. I promise, these tactics win skirmishes but will lose the war.
I used to pirate lots of music when in University but I stopped because currently all music I listen to is on Spotify which is cheap and costs like $4 in my country, even if it was the full $10 I still wouldn't mind paying for it.

However, for movies and TV shows I need to pay for like 5 services to get all the movies and TV shows that I need. No way I am paying all those. SO I will keep pirating Movies and TV shows
I live in the U.S. and initially misread the headline as Shell planning to install charging stations in the UNITED STATES. Of course I was wrong.
> It's something I've lamented before: Even Americans get kind of brainwashed that their local culture is inferior and everything is better in New York (and California) because that's where so much of our popular media originates and is set.

In the context of finding the best jobs at the top of an industry, key locations like New York, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Seattle, and others depending on the industry really are significantly better.

That doesn’t mean you can’t find okay or good jobs in other locations, but if you’re in journalism then it’s far, far easier to get a top job by moving to New York or a small number of other cities than it is by moving to some random small city somewhere.

In this context, if someone is going through all the trouble of emigrating to a different country for their career (a huge amount of work) then it only makes sense to choose the locations best suited for that work. It wouldn’t even begin to make sense if someone uprooted their entire life, switched countries, and then chose Alabama as their home base to launch their national journalism career.

It’s definitely not because people are being swayed by Sinatra songs or other media. These cities really are epicenters for certain industries.
In Finland, everybody and your mum has ”higher education”. Requirements are surely decreasing. Old academic universities are now vocational schools.
but of course, how else are they going to do a layoff on an extremely short notice without all the legalese and laws of layoff.
Given that you've clearly decided that trans activists have "delusions" I'm not sure there's much hope, however...

- What changes to your language are they demanding? If you mean they ask you to refer to them in a particular way, then this is not an uncommon thing. People often ask to be referred to in a particular way. For example, most people don't like being called "fruitloop".

- If what you mean by "anti-scientific ideas" is that that people exists who either a) are not conventionally male or female, or b) feel very strongly that their gender is not the one assigned to them at birth, then I would argue that these ideas are not anti-scientific at all. There is a huge amount of nuance in the science of human development that is left out in the "conventional" wisdom.

I'm a non-binary person, a scientist, and a medical doctor. So I am obviously invested here on several fronts.
" Canada was the place to be for working in film/tv , visual effects and animation in terms of jobs"

No it wasn't.

That such a glib Canadian thing to say.

There are some decent jobs in those fields - but they are not even close to the kinds of jobs available in the US.

For some animation jobs - it can be a bit closer. But for anything else, no, Toronto/Van/Montreal is a 'lesser cost centre' for some labour, that's it.

Finally - most of this boils down to money. If someone can double their salary by going south they will.
The pinout for full and half duplex is the same, the behavior is just different.

If you get traffic on the RX pins when you're sending on the TX pins, in full duplex, that's great. In half duplex, it's a collission and you stop sending your current packet and send a jam signal instead through the minimum packet time.

In 10base2, the RX check is more nuanced, because it's reading from the same bus that TX happens on, collision is only signalled if the RX differs from TX. In 10baseT, I think (but again, would love to be corrected), the expectation is that an ethernet hub will isolate a sending port from receiving its own transmission to the shared bus inside the hub, and of course switches are switches.

For the simple case of two Ethernet devices connected with a crossover cable, there is no possibility of actual collision, but if they run in half-duplex mode, recieving a packet while sending will be processed as a collision anyway.

If you connect only one pair, you can connect RX to RX and TX doesn't go anywhere, TX to TX and TX goes (subject to collissions), but nobody listens, or Peer A TX to Peer B RX and get a one way connection; peer B may detect link up because it gets link pulses, but peer A won't. I'm not sure what Auto MDI-X does in that situation, but it still won't work.

Autonegotiaton usually doesn't do anything smart about failing pins or poor connections either. If you've got two pair connected, you can autonegotiate (at 1Mbps, with the 10baseT link pulses) to the best connection offered by both ends, which will then fail to work if you negotiated to GigE and only have two pairs, or you negotiated to 100M and the cable is really terrible. It's getting somewhat common for OS drivers to detect this negotiation succeeds/connection doesn't behavior and restart the negotiation with fewer options though.

If I have some time today, I'll make a single pair cable and confirm, but if it were as easy as you said, there would probably be a web page telling people how to do it.
It’s crazy how much of a Wild West payments have gotten lol. Banks exist, but haven’t innovated (possibly due to regulations). Then payment apps, crypto coins, and now an aggregator for payment apps has shown up. I guess the final step in all this will be an app that takes in money from any crypto coin, cash app, or bank, and then sends it to any other person who can receive the coin, cash app, or bank, where the idea is that the aggregating app would only need to be on the sender’s side but not on the receiver’s side.

How about providing unbiased content that show both sides?

Shows like Netflix's "Midnight Mass" and "Messiah" (questions on faith) or HBO max's "The Staircase" (objective & subjective truth) are the minority.
A solution to this would be for fewer people to have a personal vehicle parked outside their house all the time.

Perhaps a first step could be self driving to and from a car park near your house. You ‘hail’ your car via an app / button in your house.

We could then get rid of parking on residential streets and reclaim parked-over pavements for pedestrians.
I agree with you about the legal landscape in many parts of the world. However, I really do not think that without having seen any numbers that crypto really betters human rights ( I guess violation of them would be the only reason why in which local legislation/constitution should be ignored) . It will be a tool mostly for the oppressors I in many undemocratic countries to circumvent things like sanctions.

Note that these changes paralleled the decline in the status of BSA. I really don't understand this change - as a boy it seemed to me that the BSA simply lost respect for the scouts, changing from treating them like young men to treating them like children.

Europe doesn't use SAT.

I concede most people don't actively train for IQ tests, especially not people who only have to do it once. But one can't exactly claim "IQ tests are flawless measures of IQ" when they can be trained and gamed, which is the point.

I think the quality of content is not related to whether is for or against some part of the population. As a matter of fact I find it quite dull and artificial when is so obsessively centered on some aspects like race or sexuality.

It reminds me of Don Quixote: it's a masterpiece of literature but I find different parts of varying quality. Some parts are eternal and you can relate to the glories and miseries of people from 500 years ago. Other parts, like when Don Quixote starts to ramble about honor, what is honorable or not, and so on and on, are quite boring. Not because honor is not important, we have laws nowadays about defamation after all, but you cannot make it the center of your life.

Making your content either offensive to some part of the population or making it all about some political agenda results in low quality content, IMHO.
No the building on the property isn’t taxed. You pay $0 more in taxes for building it.

If you have a fundamental objection to how the established theory of supply and demand curves works I can’t really help you. Large parts of economics have shown it to be successful and I certainly trust it over anecdotal arguments about how landlords will pass on the tax.

Based on the demand curve any attempt to pass on the tax will result in empty land and less overall revenue due to the mispricing. This at a minimum means some landlords will be very unhappy.
IQ tests seem woefully outdated and highly biased at best. As many note, the ability to do well on these tests is greatly increased by practice, as with most testing procedures. The notion that an IQ test is a standalone measure of innate intelligence is not well supported.

Perhaps specific areas could be tested, such as memory - but even with such a basic concept, we know that the ability to memorize a long string of numbers is a highly trainable skill. If we go to 'higher level' mental processes, such as pattern recognition, symbolic interpretation, analytical capabilities (i.e. higher maths), and creative capabilities (inventiveness), again we see that these abilities are highly trainable.

The only real way to sort this out would be to apply the same educational program to a large cohort of individuals, over the course of at least a year, involving intensive one-on-one tutoring, and administer the prospective IQ test both before and after this process takes place. This has come up before and such a study has never been done to my knowledge, nor has anyone ever pointed one out.

DenaZifying and dewokening. And the end of globalization. Finally good news.
This sounds very cool, and I can imagine one way they might have done it: instrument a program probably including with the 286 in-circuit emulator like features, then link its code and data for maximum locality in 64 KiB chunks to minimize the segment switching hit.

And/or make better use of the extra segment and maybe stack segment, compiler technology there. I'd imagine other compiler hacks would be useful, for example compare to today's bigger systems where the premium is on having as much in the most local caches as possible. Cleverness once you're in them is overwhelmed by the penalty of going to a more distant cache, memory, or taking a TLB miss. "Cache is the new RAM, RAM is the new disk, disk is the new tape." and all that.

Your example does not use a type, so I fail to see how it's an equivalent example. What does your example give you aside from "namespacing" the values under a generic struct?
There's an important distinction here. To quote that page:

> Gender dysphoria is the feeling of discomfort or distress that might occur in people whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth or sex-related physical characteristics.

Being transgender is not the same as having gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is the (sometimes) associated distress. It is effectively an administrated diagnosis, without it many trans people would not be able to access treatments they need.

The pages goes on with:

> The diagnosis was created to help people with gender dysphoria get access to necessary health care and effective treatment. The term focuses on discomfort as the problem, rather than identity.
I can assure you that my family dog, at least, definitely has strong food preferences. Even things that hurt her stomach if she eats too much, like popcorn or broccoli. Her favorite food is chicken and rice, cooked exactly like you would for a human. Maybe food doesn't really get old for her, but I think a desire for novelty is separate from having strong appreciation for the taste of food.

The tables did turn a bit during the Ottawa convoy protests. Lots of absurdly bad takes from American conservative pundits on Trudeau being a "fascist" for using the emergencies act to bloodlylessly stop a crisis that, in the USA, would've involved the National guard (something that Canada doesn't have).

I believe it can seem that way in the interview context.

But taking a step back and thinking about it: is it really possible for someone to have been writing production code for years and not know how to iterate through an array looking for smallest element?

I firmly assert that no, it is not possible. This shouldn't be controversial. Seriously, it's not possible to not know how to do that for anyone who has written more than a few days of casual code, let alone years of professional production code.

And yet the interview makes it seem like they can't? Which I'll also believe.

So what's going on?

What's going on is that the interviews are measuring something entirely different, not programming skill.

Which means the interview technique is wrong because it isn't measuring the skills, it's just measuring tolerance to the extreme stress of the interview. Which many conflict-avoiding introvert programmer types are very bad at, even though they are excellent at programming.
F# also has:

It’s funny none of the links work except for the donate one. What’s the story there?
This seems so... stupid. In the moment, you can always tell yourself the world is ending and that there's no point. But we have a 15000 year track record (modern civilization) that things are going to keep functioning and you'll be around tomorrow to live with today's choices. Most things are normal most of the time, and neglecting to prepare for the likely outcome while instead focusing on the .00001% chance of collapse is foolish.

It's like the preppers who spend their entire life savings on a preparing for an apocalypse that never comes. It's just stupid.
