> So let's get down to the core of this discussion: ritual circumcision bears religious and cultural value and that's pretty much it.

Indeed, and there is a long list of harms that humans have perpetrated on each other in the name of religious and cultural value. Ditching these superstitions and taking a human-centric evidence-based perspective is how we have progressed from valuable cultural practices such as foot binding, witch burning, pederasty… honestly, every evil deed in history’s entire rogues gallery has at some point been justified by the religious and cultural benefits that we would miss out on. I mean, a good witch burning surely did wonders for bringing the community together.

> I'm not sure I understand the physical or psychical harm done

That is apparent, and I wonder if it is truly possible for someone to understand the harm of losing something if they have no experience of what was lost.
The reply highlighted an issue that seriously affects interpretation of the data from the NHTSA link. Citing a source isn't enough if either the source or the commenter misrepresents the facts. There was no justification for you to be so insulting.
The buyer of your labor could pay your health insurance directly, or reimburse you for it. For the purposes of anything official, you are unemployed. You would not get any retirement options. Your earnings would not be reported to the IRS.

Your government could say it's illegal to receive money under these circumstances, and they basically do. But think about what that means.

This is fixable without suffering. Read a few books on the subject, and develop an appreciation of why money is important. Suffering is the last and blunt resort.

Yes, a banana has an effective radiation close to 0 because our bodies evolved to hold its level of potassium in homeostasis. Your body already has radioactive potassium in it. When you eat more potassium, the excess is excreted and the amount of radionuclides in your body stays the same. Caesium-137 on the other hand is drastically more radioactive and stays longer in the body.

I don't even own a Tesla or Tesla stock, and I can tell that you've got some serious issues going on. Calling Tesla cars "self-crashing" and "unreliable" is just flat out lying[1]. This website is not a Twitter echo-chamber, and it's certainly not your personal soapbox. People are going to call you out.

To be honest, we're dealing with this in the context of a really weird situation; that is the curious case of the existence of the billionaire! How strange is it indeed, that in a democracy there can arise individuals with access to such ridiculously outsized and concentrated power (relative to their individual contribution)?

When the equivalent power of millions of people can become concentrated into a single person, you get all sorts of weird consequences! Most of them not good for the public as a whole, and often with a corrupting influence on liberal democracy. It is indeed fitting then, that a solution targeted at this very rare and specific problem would look a little weird; even though it's extremely similar to the existing property tax that every home owner pays.

I don’t know how these companies actually do it, but I reckon the easiest way to set this up is if you register locally as an independent freelancer or equivalent. That way you take care of all that yourself.

That does, of course, leave the question of how to actually get paid anonymously, as there are plenty of accounting requirements for businesses that aren’t compatible with anonymity here either.
I like that, and it could be marketified/gamified too. People could put themselves forward as potential match-makers, i.e. moderators who screen introductory messages, and they can stake a certain number of points on whether they think the recipient will like the message. (They could also review abuse reports after the fact, including ghosting).

Over time, certain match-makers with a track record for finding good matches would be highly valued, and they could be given a free premium membership (giftable to friends) to reward them. I suppose the downside is that people who do a bad job at screening messages would end up having to pay more as a consequence, and the community might end up relying on a minority of users to do all this extra work.

This is exactly what saved me. I was an undergraduate research assistant and our postdoc warned me.
In practice in the U.S. the early part of a PhD program can be very similar to a master's. It's relatively common for people who leave PhD programs to walk away with a master's degree they didn't intend to get. It's called "mastering out."
Might not even get there. It's almost all defi which is imploding ATM.

As I recall (vaguely) Microsoft did release a few security fixes for Windows XP and Windows 7 after their respective ends-of-lives on a case-by-case basis when the security issue was especially bad.

I am by no means a fan of Microsoft's, but when you release an OS and some applications and provide security fixes for ten years, asking for people who want to continue using that OS/app beyond that point to buy a support contract is not a complete dick move. In the FLOSS world, you may get volunteers who maintain a piece of software as a labor of love, but with something like Windows or IE, someone needs to pay people to do that work.

It might make sense to create something like a foundation to take care of the long term support for software, which would benefit everyone. I'm kind of surprised actually that this has not happened, yet (to my knowledge, at least).
I haven't read it but I'm going to hazard a guess that it's the article Vice just posted about him and Kraken. If it is, then lol of course it was written by them.
I think it's pretty funny when libertarians or conservatives all of a sudden start sounding like Marxists and claiming that of course workers (engineers) should be entitled to part of the value they produce, when it's their own salary they're talking about.

$400k is also way way more than any engineer will earn in most countries except USA, and maybe it's exceptional in most US states too? For context, it's about twice what the Swedish prime minister makes, and $70k per year is considered a high salary for senior developers in Stockholm.

Adventures in AWS Lambda Land – Lessons Learned
Fuel capacity 40,000 liters of fuel. At a range of 8,700 km, that'd be 0.217km/l or .511mi/g.

An Airbus A350-LM, a widebody/higher-capacity plane that can go 15,000 km, has 141,000 liters of fuel. That'd be 0.106km/l, or .249mi/g.

I suspect these figures are a bit off, as I doubt "range" == "all fuel burned". But it's at least somewhat representative.

I consider walking simulators to be in the same category as the old LucasArts-style point & click adventures.

Often there is the very reduced or entirely eliminated puzzle-solving component.

In the old point & click adventures, with the very linear story, if you can't figure out a puzzle, then you are stuck. You absolutely can't advance through the story.

With the walking simulators, if you miss some bit, then you miss a part of the overall story, but you'll still get to the end and get the big picture. And you can usually go back and pick it up if you realized you missed something.

BTW, some walking simulators I can recommend:

Gone Home - very good story.

What Remains of Edith Finch - also very good and heartbreaking story.

Tacoma - also decent.

Observation - trippy story

Return of the Obra Din - this is a bit closer to the old point & click in the sense that you are a detective, and must actually Sherlock your way through.

Tips for transitioning to database development: learn rust, start working on systems, ideally get a systems job, and optimize for being prolific. Write a lot of code
The obvious answer is that what you identify as does not give you the right to do things that others reasonably consider offensive.

So if a transwoman goes on a rant about how women are all crazy bitches, she doesn't get to justify it by saying she's a woman. She can reasonably ask others to treat her as a woman. But it isn't a get out of jail free card.

Now for a harder one. Why philosophically is being trans OK, but it is not OK for a white to identify as a minority and then receive preferential treatment as one? What if the white is detectably a minority, but so little that nobody would notice if they didn't make an issue of it?
I've never used anything in the product space, but I've read through some of the docs because IoT deployment interests me in the context of most network devices having terrible deployment and update strategies.

My favorite sales pitch was always Mender (https://mender.io) because it can be as simple as .img files and slice based booting. Unfortunately they changed their pricing a couple years ago and went from a hobbyist friendly pricing structure where you could scale down to $120 / year to charging for scale and features where the minimum cost to use delta updates is $3k per year. If you want something like mutual TLS authentication it's "call us" pricing.

When I looked at Balena I thought the whole architecture looked like a mess of complexity and containers when a simple .img would suffice for most use cases (IMO). It's also too expensive to get into without having a well understood target market for whatever IoT product you're planning to build. IE: No hobbyists or enthusiasts that just want to learn without having something sellable planned out.

IMHO all of the IoT deployment solutions charging tons of money for features and scale are a good example of where platforms like Cloudflare could reshape the industry. I think by going "all in" on Cloudflare Pages/Functions/Workers, etc. someone could build a "Cloudflare Native" platform that can afford to dominate the unserved (low-end) portion of those markets, but with the ability to scale up to accommodate the large deployments these companies are trying to attract as customers.

I would kill for firewalls and switches that use a slice based, watchdog monitored deployment system like Mender has, but with pricing that's closer to the reality of the small business world.

The Origins of Genome Complexity

Abstract
Complete genomic sequences from diverse phylogenetic lineages reveal notable increases in genome complexity from prokaryotes to multicellular eukaryotes. The changes include gradual increases in gene number, resulting from the retention of duplicate genes, and more abrupt increases in the abundance of spliceosomal introns and mobile genetic elements. We argue that many of these modifications emerged passively in response to the long-term population-size reductions that accompanied increases in organism size. According to this model, much of the restructuring of eukaryotic genomes was initiated by nonadaptive processes, and this in turn provided novel substrates for the secondary evolution of phenotypic complexity by natural selection. The enormous long-term effective population sizes of prokaryotes may impose a substantial barrier to the evolution of complex genomes and morphologies.

Pretty sure "digital assets" is the wording used in legal contexts, especially because many "cryptocurrencies" are not really cryptocurrencies but instead tokens on someone else's cryptocurrency, or systems that are centrally-backed and controlled by some company like a stock or something.

I think "fiat currencies" is just wording meant to differentiate conventional currencies from cryptocurrencies

Business registration is a matter of public record, as far as I'm aware. Any entity you might set up for tax purposes would need at least to have a registered public agent, and probably a public list of directors and shareholders. However, it would mean that the business you're contracting with to no longer needs to file a 1099, at least.

Your interpretation is the other way I read it. Either the pronoun people and the n-word people are the same people, or they are two different groups of opposite upset people.

Given your interpretation, is he saying "engaging troll arguments further is a form of disruption"?

It's also possible the n-word people are prowokism but making a twisted not in bad faith argument that everybody saying the word is more inclusive. And meaning it earnestly. This reading seems the least likely.

His more egregious transgression, to me, is going from "If nobody is ever offended, we either don't have enough diversity of thought or we don't have enough transparency in communication" to 'let's sever ties with our 20 most outraged, so there isnt so many offended here.' There's some contradiction between words and actions. If he wants to build a offense-inclusive environment, it needs to include all outrage.

These 20 people should be encouraged to continue as an anti-culture team, as a counterfource and check & balance counter to their culture, albeit in a way that doesnt monopolize internal attention.

Not saying it needs to be planned in advance, but that there needs to be a very strong competitive advantage in some use case, not just checking the feature boxes. Continuing on the case of Python users moving to Go, they're probably not doing so for interactive use-cases or avec to scientific libraries...

Does checking the concurrency box make OCaml an awesome choice for some use case?

You mention Rust for example but that language is sort of built around a zero cost abstraction principle, which is very much not the case of OCaml, so I still think it's going to be viewed as risky for highly performance sensitive work.

The thread is very clear they are only open to perspectives that don't challenge any of their own opinions. They complain on the one hand that one shouldn't care about offending, and on the other say that they wouldn't want to ask a Saudi hire what their preferred pronouns are.
As a mid-40s guy who used the apps (not sure about my expectations, but I just wasn't interested in marriage, family or dating). I really believe that people do not get more realistic as they get older. Its probably the reverse, most just add more to the requirements for their "soul mate". At the same time the dating pool shrinks dramatically, and the people in it are often, like me, "discounted" so to speak.

I do agree the 20+ crowd seems to have the worst of it, but it really doesn't improve all that much. I think the best strategy is to find someone as early in adult life as possible.

Sometimes companies are looking to hire super cheap only and you gave your expectations as higher than they budgeted, so no point interviewing you, but also from your perspective, probably no point in being underpaid.

I'm sure we've all seen job ads where they talk about the mountains of experience and skills you need and then list near poverty wages as restitution, if they list salary range at all.

There is a huge difference in hourly paid people (consultants/freelancers) and salaried people (staff). Someone who makes 100k a year in a salaried position would charge 200 euro per hour as freelancer. A freelancer we hire for 100/hour would be salaried at 70k tops.
