i know nothing about what happened there in norway, so what i say is pure speculation.

if i understand you correctly part of the program was financial support. so once that support went away, the numbers went back.

sounds to me that, all other things being equal, the program was not able to change the culture. and that includes possible ongoing discrimination against women, only that the financial support helped some women to enter engineering despite the discrimination happening.

it is possible that this program was the wrong approach. (where it comes to discrimination, i believe it matters to teach everyone to change their attitude towards women in engineering) or that it simply wasn't active long enough. it takes time to change peoples attitudes. maybe after a few decades people get used to women in engineering. (that worked in china, they have a lot more women in engineering)

the problem with liking it is that it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the field at hand. i may love programming, but i hate working in a bro-culture, and that alone would be enough to rather work in a job that i don't like where the people are nice than the reverse.
I can see why you would get confused, this is using elements from Starlink satellites the so called “Starlink bus” not the constellation.

-The Space Development Agency awarded $193.5 million to L3Harris and $149 million to SpaceX to build four satellites each to detect and track ballistic and hypersonic missiles.“

-“We want to show that we can take commoditized commercial components and perform a DoD mission,” said Tournear.

Of course if 95% of the workforce is currently white and you aim for proportional representation the hiring goals will be to hire more non-whites for until the goal is reached.

Seeing as how this article didn't even link to the court filing, here you go:

https://regmedia.co.uk/2022/10/04/prejean_infosys_complaint....

Excerpt:

> 85. After approximately a month, Plaintiff had a complete partner list and began taking meetings with partners regarding their hiring needs.

> 86. Consistently in these meeting with Plaintiff, partners talked openly about their
hiring prejudices and discrimination preferences.
87. These illegal criteria were more important to partners than anything else.
88. Plaintiff consistently heard from at least a dozen partners, to her shock, that they
preferred not to hire additional consultants of Indian national origin, that they wanted women
without children at home, and candidates not approaching 50.

> 89. These preferences were open and notorious and seemed to be the company culture.

> 90. In each of her meetings Plaintiff apprised the partners that they were advancing
illegal criteria and that she would not act on them.

> 91. Among the partners who endorsed illegal criteria were Defendants Kurtz and
Albright, who expressly stated them to Plaintiff.
>Expected to be in operation for around 8 years.

Is that a typo? I'd expect undersea cables to last longer than that.
if the companies are unhappy with those terms then they're free to go elsewhere. under those terms companies hire people, so your assessment that such terms must break companies is clearly wrong.
I already told you this is not what I asked. Your replies are all over the place and I sincerely am not understanding them.

Right hand dominant, and feeding the resonance with either hand feels fairly easy, I feel the wave coming and responding to it comes naturally.

I do try to use my left hand every so often, but I wouldn't say I'm ambidextrous. In general, I find that my left hand is not very good at adjusting how much force is needed for fine movements, so for more complex tasks than swirling water the level of control is pretty rough.

I can browse the web, code, or do other basic activities with the mouse in my left hand, but I wouldn't try to play videogames with it for example (and let's not talk about my handwriting!).

I just want to point out that counter-clockwise in left hand is not the same motion mirrored as counter-clockwise in right hand.
Sorry, I got confused about the example, you are of course correct, it's a basic center squeeze.

The IRV case here is simply a cheaper way to organize a delayed runoff; voters are usually adept at understanding the implications of strategic voting, as long as it's framed correctly: in case your preferred option does not make it to the second round, would you still go to vote, and which would be your other choice? In Europe there is a long tradition for the two round delayed runoff, but it's certainly not presented to the voters as "you can chose anybody in the order of preference and it will be magically solved by the system".

Two round is in almost any case superior to FPTP, so if you can get it by simply tweaking the ballot paper and allowing second and third choices (IRV), it's an easy upgrade.

Approval voting might be closer to a Condorcet winner in some cases, but it's not a panacea to center squeeze because it's vulnerable to honest voting. What we see in practice is a tendency to function as FPTP, as all sides have an incentive to demonize the center and train their voters to mark a single option. So, in your example, the Sunni or Shia Muslims which can't stand themselves enough to approve each other but would still prefer islam in the second round (if secularism is not available), would lose the approval vote to a well disciplined contigent of Buddhists.

IRV solves that by not providing any help to competitors in the first round, and moving the "lesser evil" decision into the second round, encouraging more honest voting. Short of some Condorcet method (which will never be practical or intelligible by the average voter), IRV is an "acceptable compromise".
Re-using is still much better though - there is essentially no cost to cleaning a metal spoon compared to building and throwing away a plastic one.

>>Most of their regrets revolved around their family and how they wish relationships, usually either with their children or between their children

I am willing to bet, that if you met many of these people in the 40's and 50;'s (where I am today) they would have the same statements.

I too sometimes regret I am not closer with family, or have more "friends" but at the same time I do not have the desire to change that reality at all...

It is complex psychological problem for me I have always since my teens been a "loner", I do not have the mental stamina to be around people for long periods of time. Once of the reasons I would attracted to computer programming, even when working in a "team" you work alone for large periods of time.

To be clear I am not really a introvert or rather I am both an introvert and an extrovert when the situation requires it, I can carry a conversion, I can be "the life the room" but I find it mentally draining and exhausting to the point where if I am at a conference for example, I need a few days completely alone after to decompress.

So sure I sometimes regret that was not born with the mental gift of being able form these close continual bonds with people... but at the same time I dont have the desire to change that element of myself... if that makes any sense at all.
English grammar is very simple to learn if you come from a Germanic language, but I think English pronunciation and orthography is a mystery to all of us.

Even if you know the origins of the word, you still have to guess: facade is pronounced correctly, but the pronunciation of Uranus was apparently left up to a 5-year old to decide. Kindergarten and doppelganger are pronounced the German way, angst and flak aren't. The non-loanwords are somehow as inconsistent, after pronunciation changed but the spelling was preserved (and the other way around). For an unknown word you can come up with reasonable guesses, but they might be totally wrong. The only thing that makes us good English speakers is extensive exposure to English media.
> English is the simplest Latin based language.

It's not a Latin-based language (French, Italian, Spanish etc are Latin-based languages).

It's not clear how you measure simplicity, but, in terms of phonetics, English is quite the nightmare as the link between the spelling and the pronunciation is often determined by the history of the word, rather than by a clear set of phonetical rules.

So, at least by that measure, English is far from being the simplest.
I find the Anki shared decks are basically not high quality enough. Do you ever use them? Which ones do you use?
Depends where. For example Ukraine (before the war) had a similar gdp per capita to my home country, Morocco, which is definitely a developing country. Belarus is richer, but not by much. I guess those two countries are more of an exception now though.
Fair enough, but most people prefer a warmer climate, where it is easier to live, do outdoors pursuits, grow food, use less resources (for heating). But each to their own!
I worked for small and large companies, both German and American, never has anyone asked me whether I had been in a PIP. Have never even encountered something like this in Germany.

The fact you believe it to only be relevant in marriage and politics goes to show the naivety of your understanding of how prevalent this 2000+ year caste system is. I'd go as far as calling it the oldest system of systemic slavery in the world. The fact it plays such a level to this day in the modern lives of individuals shows how the Indians have normalized it in their society and often directly bring it into our own. It even goes as far as impacting children, and starts from their. Who they know. Who they can interact with. Where they're accepted. At every step impacting and controlling their lives. To claim what you have said to trivialize it is kind of shocking to me.

Gaben's comment is related to how you can curb the effects of piracy by making games accessible and easy to install, which Steam undoubtedly does. There will obviously be people still not willing to pay who pirate games, but these were never a marketable population anyway. By improving your services you reduce the relative appeal of Pirate sources for the actual target population of these games, i.e. people willing to pay.

Piracy often wins in cases when it provides a vastly superior experience than official channels themselves. A LOT of today's AAA titles end up giving a massively better experience in Pirate releases than in official ones - Assassin's Creed and Far Cry series, Bethesda's Doom and Wolfenstein series, the Mass Effect series, Rockstar's GTA series,... the list goes on and on - plainly because the official releases are so insufferably bloated and ridden with consumer-hostile designs. Piracy is indeed a service problem. Ensure your services are good and people won't turn to Pirate releases anymore.
What if some people that would usually be in the group that enjoy playing table tennis realize they actually want to run a marathon and they find out that most marathon gear is only built to help group A run better? What if there were shops that sold marathon gear but there is limited supply and since 9 out of 10 customers are group A people then those few group B that would like to buy the gear cannot because it's always sold out? What if I specifically started selling gear saying that 50% of it was reserved for group B to help them participate in marathon and that I cannot sell it to group A people? That's clearly discrimination, isn't it? And yet...

The problem is that there's so many variables in this equation that it can't simply be resolved in a simple "racism bad" or "discrimination bad" and "if they really wanted to they could but in reality they don't want to". It's a bit more complicated than that.

> Arcidiacono shows that, after narrowing down applicants to those with the strongest objective academic qualifications, Asian Americans were far more likely than blacks or Hispanics to receive a low personality score from admissions officers.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2018/06/harvar...

So we know for a fact that Asians received lower "personality" scores than blacks and hispanics, as a racial group and regardless of their financial status, and these lower "personality" scores were used as a basis to reject Asians and accept black and hispanic candidates.

TL;DR we know for a fact this exact thing is happening.
I'm closing in on 15 years of git usage as well.

Before that for a short period I really wanted to get into darcs, the first DVCS I used. I was constantly confused about what commands to use to rectify the off-the-happy-path situations that you find yourself in every now and then. The UI might have been better than git's in a lot of ways but it was distinctly higher-level.

When I learned git and understood the underlying model I had far fewer problems. The commands of early git could have been designed better, but they were more transparent in what they did.

The thought haven't struck me before, but maybe one of the great things about git is that even the low-level/plumbing commands (cat-files/ls-tree/show-ref) have well written man pages.
You might get more value from cards you write yourself. You should do that when you encounter the information.
Does anyone have a link to the paper?

I found a similar study from 2020: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/pdfExtended/S1550-4131(...

EDIT: I _think_ https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(22)... is the paper, but this article is kind of blog-spammy.

Paper Summary:

Late eating has been linked to obesity risk. It is unclear whether this is caused by changes in hunger and appetite, energy expenditure, or both, and whether molecular pathways in adipose tissues are involved. Therefore, we conducted a randomized, controlled, crossover trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02298790) to determine the effects of late versus early eating while rigorously controlling for nutrient intake, physical activity, sleep, and light exposure. Late eating increased hunger (p < 0.0001) and altered appetite-regulating hormones, increasing waketime and 24-h ghrelin:leptin ratio (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.006, respectively). Furthermore, late eating decreased waketime energy expenditure (p = 0.002) and 24-h core body temperature (p = 0.019). Adipose tissue gene expression analyses showed that late eating altered pathways involved in lipid metabolism, e.g., p38 MAPK signaling, TGF-β signaling, modulation of receptor tyrosine kinases, and autophagy, in a direction consistent with decreased lipolysis/increased adipogenesis. These findings show converging mechanisms by which late eating may result in positive energy balance and increased obesity risk.

Highlights:

"Specifically, late eating significantly increased the odds of a >50 response on the VAS scale of how much a participant would like to eat (p < 0.0001), of reporting a desire to eat starchy foods (p < 0.0001) or meat (p < 0.0001), and of reporting a strong desire to eat (p < 0.0007). There were also increases in reported desire for salty foods (p < 0.0051), dairy (p < 0.034), and vegetables (p < 0.036)."

"During the 16-h wake episode, late eating decreased average leptin by 16% (p < 0.0001) and increased the ghrelin:leptin ratio by 34% (p < 0.0001), consistent with the increased hunger probability during that time, while during the 8-h sleep episode, late eating increased average leptin by 10% (p = 0.0028), decreased ghrelin by 13% (p = 0.0002), and decreased the ghrelin:leptin ratio by 18% (p < 0.0001)."

"Taken together, our results suggest that late eating caused a decrease in energy expenditure across the 24-h cycle, although future studies are needed to verify this."

"...late eating significantly increased waketime hunger, decreased 24-h leptin, had no significant effect on 24-h ghrelin, decreased waketime energy expenditure, and decreased 24-h CBT."

Reproducible builds are notoriously hard even without having to worry about things like jailbreaking and app stores.

The point is not just that everyone can make their own, but that anyone who is competent enough can prove that their client code is exactly what is used to produce the version that gets distributed.

This means that with Telegram it shouldn't be possible to hide a backdoor in the client in a way that is impossible to spot.

Do What You Can't
I'm actually shocked that so many companies handle performance improvement and coaching so badly.

We implemented a coaching system for our support team about a year ago with the explicit purpose that individual coaching does not directly affect KPI, and that as much coaching can and should be done freely without worry of impacting the support team. The system tracks both the person being coached and their team lead who does the coaching. The coaching is directed to be as instructive as possible, that it's not about punishment, but better ways of handling specific technical situations or adherence to the support policy.

Long term reviews consider not just the person being coached, but also the leader as well, as a high number of coaching options across multiple persons on the same team would suggest an issue with the leadership as the root cause, and more qualitative reviews focus on that element as well. The entire point is to ensure that Performance Improvement Plans don't have to be a thing, and that there is constructive feedback flowing into the system.

Adoption was slow, but with strict adherence to what a coaching instruction must include, we've seen exceptionally high improvement and much calmer conversations when mistakes are made since the support persons realize "this isn't a KPI penalty or a PIP; it's just trying to prevent that." Having the system "open", i.e., the support persons can see every entry they have at any time with a few clicks of a button means no secrets.

It's a lot of documenting, but so far we're seeing a ton of success with it and positive feedback to having this process for constructive criticism, and the focus on also considering "this might be a leadership issue" also helps add some comfort.
Interesting, in most states in the US it would be illegal for an employer to reveal to another employer that the employee was on a PiP, I am surprised that is allowed in the EU with all the privacy laws.

The US has lots of anti-black listing laws in almost every state that would make something like that very very illegal

How confident you are that you are not the ignorant one.
What you suggest is not a good government policy in my opinion. A government wants educated people to not be scared to have kids. Leaving a job to be at home a few months and look a for a new job after is extremely stressful and risky, and it can destroy a career.

And long parental leaves are just normal and common in some countries. A medium to large company has no issues dealing with them. It’s part of the management work to deal with that.

Moreover it’s better for a company that their employees don’t leave.
Like paying schools from taxes and never have kids, or paying fire fighters and your house never burns.

It's called society.
From those rates I assume you live in the USA.

It's probably already clear, but just in case: it's not supposed to be mirrored.

If clockwise is harder for you using your non-dominant hand, try to rotate the water clockwise for each hand. If counter-clockwise is harder using your non-dominant hand, try to rotate the water counter-clockwise for each hand. If neither hand is dominant, pick the rotation direction that's harder overall for you.

Another important note: try to rotate it as quickly as possible. 3 - 4 Hz of rotation for the cup is OK.
I would say that “snarky” comments should not be a part of any medical note, so that’s unprofessional. Again though, these notes are not designed for patient consumption. As a physician myself, I have ZERO interest in reading my own doctor’s notes about my health—and I would prefer a system where my doctor doesn’t feel like he’s writing a document which I will be reading immediately. I want him to consider all the possibilities, even things that might be uncomfortable to me. I want him to get as close to truth discovery as possible and I don’t want to get in the way. If I don’t trust him to do so, I should find another doctor.

The system as it was previously was better. I could request a full copy of my medical records whenever I wanted, but without making my doc feel like I could be constantly snooping on his notes. I know all of this “patient empowerment” seems like a good thing, but there may be some serious downsides of this implementation.

What I would really like is an encrypted file that I can carry on me with an open format of all relevant medical records / labs / imaging that could be decrypted by any hospital or clinic EMR. That way, even if I’m unconscious or have forgotten my password, medical care can be given efficiently.
