The fundamental misconception of today's "anti-racist" movement is that every unequal outcome is the direct result of past or present racism, without stopping to examine the validity of that assumption.

A great many eggs have been and will continue to be broken in service of equality of outcome, and we will all be worse off for it.
I agree that the debris problem is one of those commons-type issues that’ll cost way more to fix than if we’d prevented it in the first place.

However, for starlink specifically aren’t the satellites all low enough to deorbit and burn up automatically within 5 years? This should eliminate the orbital debris problem for this constellation specifically.

A different problem is what happens with all the burnt up aluminum and other metals in the high atmosphere. I saw a post mentioning this once recently but also don’t know much about the scale or effects of this problem.
It seems like we really don't actually know.

Sugar and trans-fats are the only things everyone can agree is bad, and it's not even totally clear whether sugar is actually that bad for people who aren't overweight and aren't sedentary (although most people are overweight and sedentary now anyway so it may not matter).

(Even fiber, for example, might not be that important in itself so much as it is simply a proxy for vegetable consumption considering that fiber supplementation does nothing.)
Seems so - although forums also seem to gravitate towards slightly more self-hosted than Discord. Which is a feature in a way - own the domain and build something real.

Discord basically won because of style over substance. I use it plenty because I don't have a choice. But there's nothing actually good about it besides the VC money they poured into going to market and branding.

No, my argument is that once it's a matter of "you could lose everything or make it big!" is gambling.

This is exactly what the people who currently hold bitcoin are suggesting to those who don't.
I think this comes from a misunderstanding of orbital dynamics. Without *active* effort by the engines, these sort of satellites are low enough they drop out of orbit within a year or two because of friction against the atmosphere. Basically, these solve their own junk problem
They are in a very low earth orbit designed to naturally decay and deorbit in years instead of decades. Yes, there are a lot of them but they did design for this. Not nearly as big a problem as satellites in higher orbits which keep being destroyed into thousands of pieces intentionally with no care for their consequences.
> A contractor can choose to work as a LTD company or through an umbrella organisation depending on how much admin they want to take on and requirements of the client such as IR35.

IR35 is not a 'requirement of the client', it's HMRC's judgement of the relationship between contractor & client that matters.

Great point. We're working on a render pricing estimator that allows you to upload a blend file and get an estimated price back. Until we have this, one way to see the estimated price of your render job is to upload your blend but cut the animation short. For instance, if your animation is 1000 frames, render the first 100 and extrapolate the price by 10x for a rough estimate. Then you can later render the rest by setting the animation in the blend file to only be frames 101-1000.
> Electron does not support encryption or protected file locations by default

Jesus, this article is wrong on so many levels. Electron is fundamentally a way to build cross-platform apps with C, C++, and web technologies. It supports anything the operating system supports.

> I am vehemently opposed to the notion that white people are all privileged or don't face trials and tribulation.

Sure, but who actually claims that? The actual claim I hear often is that whiteness, as one of the many facets that makes up a person, confers privilege. I don't think many people consider privilege a boolean property which is forcibly latched to true if a person's skin tone is above a certain threshold. Instead, privilege is more like a point measure that can be increased by each property a person has that aligns them with the dominant group in their area.

You can certainly find unreasonable people online who take it to extremes, but there is always strange personalities like that. I think the actual reasonable perspective that most progressives hold is that privilege is a continuum affected by many factors. (I do think even reasonable progressives overfit to named group identity components of privilege versus individual components, but that's a somewhat different problem.)
Great level design!
The issue to me is cost vs benefit to creators. I do back a few of my favorite Youtubers on Patreon (actually, I pay them each more than I would pay YouTube), however, creators actually receive very little from YouTube Premium subscriptions.

The most bizarre part of this age is the rewriting of Martin Luther King into a person who thought that Black Americans should be left to sink or swim in a segregated pool, because in the only speech they know he described a future utopian dream where white kids and black kids skipped hand in hand not seeing race.

Pool metaphor: It's not enough for lifeguards not to see race when the majority kids bully minority kids as groups. It inevitably leads to the lifeguards seeing the minority kids as the source of the problem, since they're always in the middle of any fight, and when they're gone the fights are fewer.

My experience has been exactly the same.
What bugs me immensely about this whole situation is that we can't really discuss it in public. I feel like if I dare express disagreement with current policies and predominant views, I could be fired. I could be publicly attacked and shamed, even for what seems to me like rational arguments along the lines of "let's take a step back and look at this problem from multiple angles".

Being attacked and labeled as a racist because you dare question these kinds of policies essentially amounts to gaslighting, and the idea that we're not allowed to express disagreement against these kinds of policies is well, censorious and oppressive.
> TV didn't go away because of ads but because consumers shifted to a different model of consuming content.

Perhaps. But a nontrivial percentage of people I know stopped watching TV because of the ads (especially the overlay ads) well before there were any serious alternatives to TV.

So, at least some audience was driven away by them.
I considered this in the past. Linux support for NTFS is much better than any of the mechanisms to read ext3/4/btrfs/etc on Windows/Mac. Your options for a Windows/Mac/Linux portable filesystem are basically exFAT or NTFS.

There are no stupid questions, except maybe this one:

Q. Why is a wide horizontal tree superior way to work with a mind map that’s a pure outline (not a DAG) than a simple outline?

See the Data Format here, it’s an outline. Keystrokes are about moving nodes and descendants, that can work on an outline. And then why not have a portable outline format.

I do understand this is terminal/text. Yet there are plenty terminal/text outline editors, and being able to see a narrow outline instead of a wide tree feels more usuable.

That said, I use and really enjoy iThoughtsX which can import/export OPML and Markdown etc., and provides ability to control visual layout per ‘information geography’ or ‘cartography’. So not averse to visual graph depiction of a DAG, just asking why folks like this for pure outline format instead of outline editing?
At some point Teams has to ask the TPM to unseal its encrypted copy of the access token. At that point an attacker can read the communication between Teams and the TPM, or it can read the token straight out of Teams' memory space.

Even considering my historic dislike for microsoft, I must admit how a dedicated person Bill Gates was. The fact that even after being highly successful he was still apt and willing to review projects, maybe even code, to this level of detail is impressive and not a thing I've seen much.

It is hard to say he didn't earn it.
I know of another SW company that did the same thing. Everybody at the company was then told not to contact or communicate with any of the employees in Russia. Then one of the executives told everybody that it was a vendor who was providing the remote access solution who pulled out of the country in a blame shift we saw right through.
Years ago, I used some personal projects and a database certification to make some desired job changes. I advise any person to leverage both training (traditional education, certification, etc) along with a demonstrable portfolio of work to do the same. Even now, I occasionally do a MOOC and earn the certificate just for personal interest.

I hope hiring orgs don't run away from candidates simply because they undertook a certification. But I understand the caution - my org has had bad experiences with coursework-only MS in computer science career changers who turned out to not have any real skills and maybe not even any desire to learn any real skills.
Yes, very interesting point. It can not know that they are its own rules. BUT we can know that. Therefore we the meta-level can reason about the subject more than it can of itself. For example the subject-system can not mechanically prove that it is looking at its own ruleset.

So the term "unprovable" should probably best be always qualified with: in which system.

There are facts about systems which the system itself can not prove. Statements like that can be expressed in some formalized subset of English and proven following the rules of that formalized English. What is that "formalized English" that we use in our reasoning? Or does it not matter?
Usually the non-hierarchical is an option to toggle on/off in the tools I’ve used.

With hierarchy you can still achieve it though. If the topic is “alphabet” I might create major nodes A B C D without linking them. I then play with A B C and D and add more nodes in a brain dump and then re-arrange later and map the relationships

I guess nobody ATM, but if the support for NTFS becomes really good then why not use it as your root fs? It's truly battle hardened (the fs, not this particular implementation necessarily), and it is really nice to use an fs that is supported in both Linux and windows if you're dual booting.

I see that is possible, reasonable, and a valid explanation. It is undeniable, however, that Musk knew he would have effect on Twitter's share price because he delayed 11 days in revealing his stake, saving him ~$140M on Twitter shares while everyone was in the dark. Now, maybe the market subsequently declined everywhere, but it is reasonable to assume that Musk's public statements after Twitter accepted his offer were intended to affect the share price to increase above his offer, sweetening the deal for him. It is also possible that, even though or if the market declined everywhere, that Musk did have an effect opposite to his intention: it would be incompetent to publicly announce intentions to fix something that was already profitable, which if unpopular enough, may have affected share prices negatively.
It's not possible to have a Signed Language interpreter around you all the time. Or did you? If not, how did you communicate with your coworkers?

When I was working in companies I just lipread and talked German, and it worked mostly fine except meetings. But a few years ago I realized that lipreading is too hard for me, so I now avoid that. Recently I got interrogated by the police but they put up an additional computer monitor for me to follow the notes. I declined the offer of a Signed Language interpreter because I was not sure whether the interpreter really knows the correct legal terms. The monitor was very helpful. I caught many little misunderstandings this way like I said, he wanted to void the ticket himself, but the minute taker wrote, he wanted to buy the ticket himself.

Anyway, I am lucky that I don't need to work in companies anymore being semi-retired.
The way I think about it - the higher your fat content in your diet the likely the higher amount of fat (cholesterol) circulating in your blood veins. It might not be a big deal if your body doesn't attach that fat the walls of your arteries however if you have inflammation in your arteries the fat will attach to the arteries and over time that causes a whole host of problems. My unqualified suspicion is that if you manage inflammation you likely won't arterial walls lined with cholesterol (which is trying to repair the damage to your arterial walls from inflammation).

However I also suspect that as you get older your vein structures change and theres probably a time in your 30s-50s where you biology changes and you start adsorbing more cholesterol (from fat) onto your arteries that cause CVD.
I think you are grossly misinformed.

There is nothing illegal about this either. You have to show discrimination took place. Many companies separate some roles simply for additional legal protection.

>Of course, I am unwilling to find out because my priorities lies elsewhere but if and when I learn of the next Deaf applicant that got turned away because of lack of direct call support, then my priority of my legal team will change.

You weren't turned away. You refused to tell them you needed direct call accommodation, and then act like a victim when they didn't know. Do you expect them to read minds? Do you expect them to accommodate every possible request from applicants without need for explanation?

If you go to court, google will show it's HR policies and process for accommodating applicants that notify HR of their needs. They will point to applicants that asked for accommodation, and all the times HR provided it. They will then point out the fact that you or the next similar applicant did not inform them, and explain to the court that they are not mind readers.

Hating What They Love – Search Data Analysis of Republican Trans Porn Obsession
As a trans woman myself and most trans women I know, have been at the receiving end of self-hating men attracted to us. They are often the most vocal when it comes to condemning us. Most frequently they have been religious or politically conservative.

I wanted to see how prevalent this was, so I took a look at Google Trends data, and investigated if there was a correlation between political stance and trans porn search volume. I found that there does seem to be a correlation. This is that investigation.
> Make it show up as a device you can write 3 bytes to

I've been curious about doing something like this for a while, but don't even really know where to start when it comes to researching information on this topic. Do you have any good resources for accomplishing this?
Good question. There are a few factors that I think will mitigate this concern.

- You still have to get developers to use and depend on these new projects.

- Allocation happens on a per subscription basis, so to realistically take advantage of this scheme, you will need many developers to adopt your new projects.

- Subscribers who notice maintainers doing this will be incentivized to vote with their dollars and change their dependencies to projects that aren't engaging in this behavior.

My OSS Project (Lit - at https://lit.dev) just moved our community chat from Slack to Discord[1] and we couldn't be happier right now. one of the main reasons is the velocity that Discord is moving to add useful community oriented features like this.

Assuming this means that Forum Channels are GA now, we're going to us them for our #ask-for-help channel to make them more organized and searchable. I think it's a great middle ground between Reddit / old-school forums and chats which are dominating the community space right now. Having both in one place (along with voice and video channels, and events) is awesome!

btw, Discord's bot API is wonderful as well. We easily made a `/docs` bot that searches our Algolia site docs search index, shows results in Discord and lets the user choose a result to link to. It's great for answering questions.

Since most people who go on a keto diet cheat about as much as anyone on any diet (i.e. a lot), the real effect is not so much remaining in a ketogenic metablolic state for years at a time as it is cutting out some number of doughnuts, and while the original idea is extreme, the product is a result just about anybody could get behind.
