> facts about lawful ownership were straightforward

Clearly not, otherwise we wouldn’t be reading about it in the news. This was a civil dispute. One party is of the opinion that they bought a goat and the other party is of the opinion that they haven’t sold it. This is where you need a court to decide who is right and who is wrong.
> Generalist can be a specialization in itself.

This is absolutely true. Someone who is comfortable chasing down a problem no matter where it leads, and learning what's necessary to handle it if they don't already know, can provide a great deal of value.

Many clients don't need a specialist in X, they need someone who can do X, Y, Z, A, B, C, and oh we didn't realize we needed D and E but we're glad you're up for that too.

I'm not talking about hunting.

Most meat consumed on this planet comes from large scale animal farms, not from going out to the woods and hunting, like our ancestors did (who needed it to survive - most of us don't anymore).

I'm talking about this: https://www.nationearth.com/ - ask parents to show their kids this or just videos of factory slaughterhouses. Do you think most parents would say yes? Would they say yes to showing pictures / videos of places where workers suffer from PTSD?
Well the concept for this bike (bike-alike) is to ditch the dual drivetrain and run on purely an electric motor. So your control surfaces no longer push gears and a chain, but instead simply select. No need to RPM sense, or Torque Sense when you have a fresh control design from scratch. It would just be direct from control surface to motor.
I agree whole heartedly. Often wondered the same. But I'd always think a small amount of conflict is needed to keep our defenses evolving in case we ever come into contact with a society that would be more sophisticated than us in that regard. The same applies to computer viruses, pathogens, and even scams and haggling. I know at least some of these been explored already in fiction (Pandora's Star, War of the Worlds, Bender's Big Score).

I don't think it was meant as you interpret it. Rather a callback to the famous quote "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
Stating that white heterosexual men are at the intersection of privilege is quite different from "mandatorily demonizing white men in everything they publish." That is quite the chip on your shoulder, I think.

I am a cisgender, straight, white male in tech (not in academia) and I don't think it's a big deal to acknowledge that I benefit from quite a few privileges as such. I don't get harassed sexually, noone bats an eye when I mention my partner, society doesn't expect me to bear children, I have a very decent income, I get a default level respect for my technical abilities just by virtue of showing up.

I have many friends in leftist, queer, activist circles and don't feel demonized in the slightest. What I do, and I don't feel diminished at all by doing so, on the contrary, is learn and listen to how people not having all these characteristics have a wildly different life experience. If someone rails against white patriarchy or whatever, realize that that is very much a thing in many people's experience, and you might be blind to it by virtue of being a white man.

The great thing about intersectionality is that even if you're a white man, that is not all you are. You can use an intersectional framework to address areas where you are indeed a minority, be it because of your financial background, physical or mental disabilities, physical or mental illnesses, etc... Being a white man, yet an immigrant in the US, is a different experience than being a citizen.

I always find it puzzling that critics think that intersectional studies are about vilifying "all white men", when the premise is actually the opposite. A white man with mental illness from a working class background would not be part of the "very narrowly defined group that enjoys intersectional privilege". Nor does enjoying the intersectional privilege assume that you are a harasser, a bad person, just that other people probably encountered harassment more often than you.

Unfortunately for our author the writing had already been on the wall for a few years in bike crazy the Netherlands where they've been buying more e-bikes than pedal bikes for a couple of years now. Even in western Canada where I ride half the bikes on the bike paths are e-bikes. There's no going back.
> This is an entirely ridiculous take - bicycling is just as active a form of transportation as walking is.

No, it's not, at least not in an urban environment with traffic and red lights (assuming you don't run them). Cycling is a non-load-bearing exercise. Overweight people, having excess weight, would stand to benefit much more from having to support their excess bodyweight during exercise than sitting the whole time. And being non-load bearing, cycling does nothing for bone density, and if done to excess, actively harms it:

Except I’m not wrong:

“On June 24, 2022, accompanied by Plaintiff Jessica, Plaintiff E.L. exhibited Cedar at Shasta District Fair in the junior livestock auction.”

Since we’re making assumptions about each other apparently, I’ll assume you’re from San Fransisco or Toronto or some other urban center where livestock auctions aren’t common. So allow me to inform you that the purpose of a livestock auction is to bid on livestock which most of the time will end up being bred or slaughtered.
The facts were straightforward and against your position. The girl was at all times the lawful owner of the goat. The goat was not legally sold.

Even if she had not been, there was a good faith dispute, under which circumstances destruction of the disputed property is not the sort of thing that a court would allow. Which is why police need to not play cowboy. By the way, if your car is stolen and you see it in somebody's garage, the police are NOT just going to grab it and hand it back to you. They'll impound it until things are settled.

Now that Amazon will give you 70% if you price under $10 and sell on Kindle, it's a whole new world for writers who want to release independently. If you put your book on Kindle Unlimited, you get paid by how many pages people read. Sure, you have to do all your marketing, but giving out free copies of your book for reviews is a low-cost way to bootstrap a following. Once you get a decent number of reviews and climb in the sales rank, the rest takes care of itself.

Of course, your book has to be good, which is the very hard part. Since Kindle lets you read free samples, I've read some of the lower ranked stuff in the genre I write in and it's pretty awful. However, I've heard there are people who write in certain genres like erotica and write total trash, but they making a living at it anyway by targeting various niches.
> more efficient, cost effective, and reliable than anything prebuilt due to their nature

Absolutely untrue, and I’ve run the numbers to prove it. Prebuilt PCs have lower TCO because they extensively test configurations and have aggressive pricing around support contracts. Every broken pc costs them! Some vendors are better than others, as well.

Now, if we’re talking about gaming PCs, the numbers are a little different there. It makes sense to roll your own for that. But for most people, building their own pc yields nothing but the entertainment of building their own pc.
> there are huge populations of arabs that live peacefully in Israel so this apartheid narrative is complete nonsense.

For many, the narrative has superseded reality. And that’s the crux of the issue. If only more people had your level of willingness to explore the facts on the ground with their own eyes. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective.
A client who's paying one person effectively a half million dollar a year rate to be a 'slot' in their workload, which presumably implies they take on multiple such clients at once, would also presumably not blink at pouring another 5,000 or 10,000 a month off onto a robust cloud platform to make sure things don't go down at 3:00 a.m. for trivial reasons.
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with bullying in academic research labs, where no amount of "ninjitsu" is going to solve the problem that your abusive PI exerts enormous control over the trajectory of your career, which will depend in some significant way on the recommendation they're willing to provide for your next position.
The main problem with diversity, is that most of the time it's a performance. And it's often done with bad actors, who will spend hours and hours on talk shows, describing how they are proud to be the first X to have played in this role.

The result is thus disappointing. And it does not create anything of value.

Because unsurprisingly, people are not paying to the the "first black elf". Nobody care. So it's just alienating the core fanbase because they are fed up seeing their favorite franchise being ruined by quotas, and racial war, especially when all other aspects are lacking (scenario, dialogues, poor yet expensive CGI, etc)

I just wish most of this company get broke and we start to see smaller studio producing interesting stuff around diversity.

As you can tell I have no fetish for diversity as it's a criteria I found useless in a workplace or in my entertainment. But from time to time, I would happily watch a high budget and original production about some fantasy world happening in Africa (like Game of Thrones is for England) or in Thailand or whatever with all the folklore around it.

Rather than seeing divisive comment about :

"Amazing, we finally have some diversity among LoR's elf, take that racist Tolkien"

or

"Disgusting, they put some black elf".

As usual, I really feel this modern world is not for me, it's ruining most franchises one after the other, yet it's not creating any new interesting franchises.
> The optimal amount of crime in a society is non-zero because a society with zero crime would be a dystopian police state where innocent people sometimes get caught up in the justice system's net to make sure it catches all of the criminals.

At this point you're just playing with the definition of crime. I would argue that it is criminal to deprive an innocent person of their freedom, and challenge that your proposed scenario is actually "zero crime".

Secondly, you talk of catching "all of the criminals". In a "zero crime" environment there are no criminals - by definition if there is a criminal, then a crime has been committed at some point.

All that said I agree with your larger point - the cost of freedom is that people are not constrained before the fact from committing crime, and that's a good thing on the whole.

I'm a full-time employee but I can see myself in your comment. Too many people do not realize the power of "no" on one hand and the power of being able to build a valid opinion on many topics quickly, opposed to having the perfect, expert opinion on one single topic, on the other hand.

It took me a lot of experience to learn that and now I'm more listened to by my reports, peers and superiors alike, while feeling much quieter and more efficient at the same time.

Kind of a zen state of sort. :)
They are not “technically parts of Israel” at all. Israel is righteous to defend its right to exist while at the same time denying the same right to Palestine and refusing the concept itself of a two-state compromise, never mind the only internationally recognised borders.

This is part of Israel just as much as Kherson is part of Russia.

One way of thinking about this is that you’re charging less for doing less work. Maybe that’s what you want (eg less stressful days). Another way to see it is that if you could work for some places you like less for £X per day, you could live off £500 per day and donate £(X-500) to charity (this is basically the argument that was popular 10 years or so ago that ambitious young people wanting to ‘do good’ should go and work in tech/finance to make a lot of money to give to charity instead of working for charities directly). So in some sense you’re choosing to instead donate £(X-500) per day to the nonprofits you work for. I guess if you like what they do then maybe it’s a reasonable choice for you.

Hostile to human life seems a bit hyperbolic. Our technology and society will collapse and stop the co2 addition well before then. Its possible we will have hit run-away by then, but I don't think that is currently predicted? A malthusian collapse followed by a second shot with sustainable tech built on the back of unsustainable ones might well have a chance.

For someone who is passionate about climate change, this job looks really interesting,

But, as someone once said: "I have made it my business to understand your business". A quote that I follow when I'm looking at companies that seem interesting.

So here we go: I can't quite figure out how your business work: Clients pay you so that you can provide them with data about various climate related events. But how do you collect those datapoints to feed your models? For example, do you have actual sensors in the field to measure the land suitability index https://gro-intelligence.com/applications/land-suitability-r..., do you have some sensor in the field, your do you aggregate data that you buy from the government or other sources?

Also, how exactly do you address climate change? It seems more like you are measuring climate change (and its impact) rather than addressing it directly.

Lastly, this post will serve to check whether you are actually engaged with this position and responsive or have just dropped it to farm CVs ;)

Honestly I'm put off by the authors' use of critical theory and intersectionality. But the fact that this harassment does exist and should be eradicated is unquestionable, and any effort to raise awareness and fight it should be commended.

Middle-Earth most definitely is not based on Europe and claiming such is unsupportable. The geography and map of Middle-Earth is absolutely nothing like Europe, no similarities whatsoever, and no geological process known could make it similar. On the other hand, Middle-Earth is strikingly similar to a mirror image of North America.
You clearly didn't read the complaint. It states that they tried to back out at the auction, both before and after bidding had concluded, and then taking the goat and sending it to a friends farm hundreds of miles away while continuing to try to negotiate.

As a European, I find it absolutely absurd that peoples immersion is “being broken” by seeing non-white people in a fantasy show.

When I see a dwarf in a fantasy TV show, I don’t see the colour of the dwarfs skin - I see a dwarf. The fact that people are uncomfortable by brown dwarves is ridiculous. What a strange hill to die on.

I am flabbergasted that this is even a topic of such heated debate at the moment. It would appear we, as a species, are not quite as far along as I would have thought.

Fyi, an imho more illustrative example why we should think in terms of expected utility than expected cash flows:

Anytime you pedal with the motor engaged, it will push you forward more than you’ve pedaled. I thought I’d acclimate to it, but I still haven’t; especially when pedaling from a coast out of a turn, I forget the motor is in gear, and when it engages it sends me off course, flying into the curb (or worse, into traffic)

That's just not a good controller. In other words: yes there are bikes like that but do your research before using it as an argument in what reads like a weird unfounded overly generalized crusade against a complete segment of transportation.

Counter argument, by means of anecodte just like the OP's: I have ridden quite a lot of different ebikes and speedpedelecs and the vast majority doesn't ride like this. In fact I have the impression often the controller is programmed to slowly ramp up, taking a while to reach full power. And of the ones that do have the tendency to behave like the OP's, there was only one on which is was annoying but not yet such that it would send me off course.

People can buy cases with glass covers on their sides—I have one—and I do wonder, could they ever sell a complete computer system with these case, due to ESD/RF regulations.. Is it a loophole selling computer cases that could never (conjecturing here) satisfy radio emission tests with a running PC inside them, but as they never sell those as systems, it's fine, and then the user ends up building that very system themselves?
The thing you learn from start-ups is that ideas are worth nothing. It's execution that matters.

But ... if you were an oracle (religious, not database) who sometimes foretold the future, would there be a marketplace for your ideas? In 2003 if you described a social network would that be valuable information? I tend to think no since there were social networks before Facebook but FB were lucky and executed very well.
I think you are missing the point. What you consider to be a controversial/non PC answer is considered to be a pretty normal answer to them.

They are not trying to get in touch with like minded people, they are just posting comment on HN to share their thoughts and react to a news, pretty much exactly like you are doing.

I will take myself as an example :

1. I think diversity is a completely useless metric.
2. I am in favor legalizing discriminations.
3. I believe we should not help people who want to commit suicide.

I don't consider any of these opinions to be controversial.
Ha, there's probably a terminology misunderstanding.

I think GP was talking about "kick scooters", the ones on which you stand, whereas you're talking about "motorcycle scooters", the ones on which you sit.

I agree, the latter kind usually have much space, and can maybe even be modified to add a top case, etc.

The first ones, though, are an atrocity as far as I'm concerned. Very unstable, the small wheels need perfect pavement (I live in Paris, our streets haven't seen any maintenance since Roman times).
