"Not evidence based" is the impression the motivated author aims for, but if read carefully, is not supported by the text of the article. E.g. the link in While testosterone is widely considered a “male hormone,” all people produce testosterone. is to a study [1] showing an average 10x difference in testosterone levels between men and women.

Later, talking about polycystic ovary syndrome, it tacitly admits excess testosterone is likely to cause:

developing intersex conditions, or having biological traits that do not fit binary definitions of male or female characteristics; [..] metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction, such as obesity; and neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism and attention-deficit disorder

This is excused by equating the desire for "normal" children with eugenics:

I became increasingly concerned that this focus on producing “normal” children fails to attend to both natural human diversity in cognitive processing, bodies and identities, and the mental health of trans and nonbinary parents. It may also echo eugenicist policies that attempt to eliminate human characteristics and communities that society deems inferior or bad.

See my comment below but TL;DR I’d like to hear a bit more about “the great team” rather than Musk because I know behind that interview what hard work people are going through to make the things he is showing off happen.

Look I think you just like Elon Musk a lot. I don’t mind him either, I just know almost all of his success is built on the back of a lot of hard working individuals, which I think is pretty hidden behind a dude in XXXL T-shirts

1. Can I extend the functionality of my web app using native code where necessary (adding background GPS geofences, etc)

There doesn't appear a reason as to why not? This should be doable.

2. Do I have access to the real modern web stack in the compiled app?

Yes. The webview Red Goose provides is basically the thinnest it could be. All your users get to see on the front end is your choice of web stack.

3. Does my iOS build support offline caching via my web app's service worker?

Yes, it does! [1] Haha! And that's the main reason why I believe there is little value in coding up the whole business logic in native stack again. Although, I could be wrong here, and we are just starting to explore this vertical with the enormous power of PWAs.

Whether "truth is an absolute defence" depends on the jurisdicton. In Canada and Britain proof of truth is an absolute defence, but mere truth is no defence at all. Think about it - how much of what you say could you actually prove in a court of law?

In court and parliament, this is relaxed somewhat. But just 'cause you - say - saw a murder by X in broad daylight, doesn't mean you get to say you did anywhere you like, in Canada and Britain.

PS, yes defence is really spelled with a c in Canada. This was deliberately done historically in order to distinguish ourselves from the US long before the internet and spell-checkers.

IANAL - but then a lot of lawyers aren't much good at their game either.

Who defeated the first iteration of the KKK? It wasn't local sheriffs, it was the feds.

Who brought charges against Ahmaud Arbery's killers? The local PD cleared those lynchers. It needed the Georgia state authorities' involvement.

Local police authorities can be of highly variable quality, and they don't have as much oversight as the higher levels of law enforcement. I'm not inclined to trust in them more just because they're "local". Their closeness often leads to massive conflicts of interest. Trust has to be earned.
Not sure what you are saying here. I've only ever used TXT DNS records by copying&pasting whatever the original certbot told me to do or when setting up custom domain with 3rd party email. I have no idea what they do, who can read them, when, where, why, etc.

Even so, when people say that we’ll just spread out this energy generation infrastructure everywhere I still want to know the actual numbers. Are there enough rooftops and vacant lots in LA to provide all the necessary power? What about lower density areas? What about northern climates with lots of snow and rain? There is still maintenance involved, installation costs are likely increased by doing this piecemeal rather than at a single site. Are we assuming all of this will be undertaken by individual homeowners or is it a commercial operation? Leaving it up to individuals seems like it would drastically slow roll out due to a lot of people not being able to afford it or simply being unwilling to have panels. If commercial then the available locations become very limited. These things can’t just be hand waved away.

Well, I am not an Elon Musk fan or hater and I don’t own any Tesla product. However, I think if your standard for him is “he hasn’t delivered yet on the two brand new proposed models of high-priced EVs that my family has reservations to buy”—I can tell you that I can’t drive 2 minutes without seeing several Teslas, I can see strings of Starlink satellites sometimes when I look into the sky, and at least a couple of times a month I can see SpaceX launches from my backyard.

Seems to me Musk may not be delivering on what you want, which I suggest is a couple of items serving a tiny elite market, but no doubt he is delivering something.
He's already wealthy by the sounds of it.nl Pretty easy to be chill when even if your pot gets halved you're still rich.

> also started to expose internal DNS-based service discovery.
Then this is similar to Consul-based service discovery. In that case, do you know how Netflix continued to support their client-defined routing rules, like selecting a specific set of nodes of a given service to route traffic to? I'd imagine that the number of IP addresses in an ARecord is limited too, so a service won't retrieve the entire list of IPs from a DNS record?

That's the whole point! Think of OpenStreetMap as a global spatial database of raw map data. An infinite variety of specialised maps can be generated from this data. Maps for driving, for hiking, for public transport, for cycling, and much more: it all depends on what renderer is used.

> trying to overturn the election through force

I've not seen this discussed so let me ask: how was this supposed to work?

Wikipedia says:

They sought to keep Trump in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the electoral college votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden

For how long? I mean wouldn't this only delay the inevitable? How could it have actually overturned the election?
I recently used concur, and by 'used' I mean I clicked to a page that said "our servers are down" and then I called the travel agent directly who then booked my travel over the phone.
what makes you think its the US government you should worry about?

EDIT: clarified "US" government, though I don't necessarily intend to suggest other governments are the worry.
From the wiki:
As of 2022, Vox reported that no evidence had ever emerged "that the laptop's leak was a Russian plot."[12] In March 2022, The New York Times reported it had authenticated some emails "from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop."[12][13] Also in March, The Washington Post reported that two security experts authenticated thousands of the 129,000 emails, though the vast majority of the laptop contents, including most of its emails, could not be authenticated.[3] Among the emails that The Washington Post was able to authenticate was the Pozharskyi email that formed the basis of the New York Post's original article.[3]

Not trying to be a pain here, just trying to point out that there was some truth to the claims. I've been quick to dismiss such claims as conspiracy before so I was surprised to find some truth to them. I agree though that many outlets ran too far with the story and it was meme'd too much online. Also doesn't really seem to matter to the public discourse these days anyway with all the other problems the US and the world are facing.
Disclaimer: Former Red Hatter

Yes, as long as it was in the best interest of the Fedora project. A recent example IMHO is the change of default filesystem to btrfs. From Red Hat's perspective a default like XFS or stratis would be better as it would provide more testing/adoption for their recommended RHEL uses. Another might be the creation of a Fedora Server variant which isn't really in the interest of Red Hat.

If there were something good for Fedora that would really hurt Red Hat, I wouldn't expect it to happen, but I can't think of anything that wouldn't also be bad for Fedora. Maybe a Fedora LTS version, but there are other already extant options to address that market so I don't see a need there. I would like to see a Fedora LTS kernel version though that behaved more like Ubuntu's.
That's good for some situations where all you need is a headshot, yes. Maybe it can be combined with this stable diffusion stuff?

The risk grows quadratically in decay time, not exponentially.

Actually less than that, as orbits with more decay time have more vertical space.
Stored procedures and even triggers are non-relational and have little to do with SQL proper. They are like Lua scripting inside nginx which are not directly related to anything HTTP.

On one hand, it might be nice to have completely portable triggers. On the other hand, the lack of standardization allowed to have approaches as differer as PL/SQL and T-SQL to emerge. It would be terrible to be stuck with some ancient COBOL-like SP / trigger syntax, required by the standard.
I know, it's hard to answer because the more you dig the more you start to ask uncomfortable questions about the fundamental nature of our economy and the emergence of varying degrees of wealth inequality... at which point saying when you should or shouldn't be greedy seems arbitrary.

People can debate and justify varying degrees of inequality all day long... but I think it's reasonable to draw a hard line at "surviving". If there is an economic event that cuts of a huge chunk of the population from being able to meet basic needs, even though regardless of money the resources are there, then clearly an adjustment is needed.
Can I expect pretty significant boosts in query speed when using DuckDB on my existing PG database? I'm very intrigued now that it's possible to directly query PG.

If I can just slap DuckDB on top and speed things up, I'd be really thrilled.

> We have a great judicial system and technology has always favored innocent to prove their innocence rather than it's absence.

None of this has been true for a very long time. Wrongly accused almost always take a plea deal these days. If you don't have money for a fancy lawyer, you're almost certainly taking a plea deal whether you did it or not.

This is spoken like someone who has never had any dealings with police or the legal system.

All that said, I don't know what any of that has to do with my original comment. OP said

> We need to dismantle the tools that can be used to oppress the masses

and you replied

> Do you have evidence that this tool is used to oppress masses in the US?

can be was the original qualifier. Is doesn't matter. Can be matters. You don't give a baby a loaded gun and then say "but is it currently shooting you?".

There's no logical argument that a government could not possibly under any circumstance be physically capable of misusing this, so "It is not" is false.

I'm working through similar gamification of map update questions right now, specifically with aerial imaging. We're trying to crowdsource aerial imagery using (for now) passengers in window seats, so the most obvious solution was to provide them free in-flight wifi so that we could upload the images as they're captured as well. They don't record the entire flight, just at certain points based on altitude and tasked coordinates along their filed flight path. Most have appreciated the gesture, but a good amount would prefer airline miles, free in-flight goods, etc. We've looked into chain-based royalties where an image accessed by our customers is paid out to the original photographer, but that's a ways out. Gamification is tricky.

My wife is here on an H-1B. The U.S. requires such visa holders from her country to renew their stamp yearly (even though the H-1B remains active) if she wants to be able to leave the U.S., such as even visiting Canada, and be able to return. This stamp must be processed in her home country at a U.S. Consulate. During 2020, we happened to be in China during January on vacation, visiting family, and of course renewing the stamp on her visa. Because the U.S. banned visa holders from entering the U.S. as a "response" to COVID, it was over 15 months before I saw her again.

The fact that she needs to renew the stamp yearly allows the U.S. to keep their options open in terms of refusing to allow valid H-1B workers to re-enter for whatever arbitrary reason, such as the case of my wife. It's always been mind-boggling that this is required rather than processing it here. She had studied and worked here in the U.S. for over half a decade, had an apartment, had a car, and had a job at a U.S. headquartered company at the time she wasn't allowed back in.

This is why these stamps need to be done in the U.S. It removes a lever for the U.S. to politicize and hold hostage current H-1B holders as well as removing massive inefficiencies in the immigration processes. The fact that it isn't like that added literally years of delay in our life.
Does anyone have a quick summary they could offer on how forestry tiles are added?

It's clear that they are added in blocks - edges to forest-cover data are at edges of very large (100km?) tiles.

I wonder, though, where that information comes from. Public sources GIS, and analysis of public satellite imagery, are two possibilities that come to mind.

This is an odd argument. You're basically saying that being more knowledgeable about something makes your opinion less useful. Everyone knows there's bias but if you're arguing that we shouldn't value someone's opinion because they're an expert then we're not going to progress very far in society. I'm not saying you have to take his word as divine truth but dismissing experts is extremely naive.
