Forced monogamy is what gave most men “skin in the game” (a chance at having a family), and as such, encouraged them to go above and beyond in making society better and safer. So yes, a lack of harems is what makes society progressive, safe, and stable.

Having large masses of men who will never have an opportunity for a wife and family is massively unstable for any society, because these men will either sod off and do their own thing (why should I contribute to society/civilization if it does nothing for me?), or they will forment unrest in an attempt to acquire wives of their own by any means possible.

The stat has had huge ripple effects, especially in poorer urban communities. Checking the homicide rates on the FBI data explorer shows an increase of 50% which gels with my 60% ballpark figure (rates accounts for population increases in a way my homicide increases figure doesn't).

My 60% figure was grabbing the homicide count in 2014 from the FBI UCR (14,249
per https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-....) and comparing it with the stats from 2021 (22,900).
"To address the common case of device loss or upgrade, a key feature enabled by passkeys is that the same private key can exist on multiple devices. This happens through platform-provided synchronization and backup."

Thus, unlike a FIDO2 key, you don't have to visit every online service to tell it about the new redundant keys you add.

The rest of the security article linked by madjam002 goes into detail how Google implements their version of that backup. It's a bit like Keybase in the sense that your other devices act as keys to unlock the backup for new devices.
Final step is key escrow authority that will store your private key and produce it to you if you can proof your identity with government ID. It is not enough to store in cloud storage (which Google, Apple, or someone else could deny you access to), or your own device you could lose or destroy (which is why backup hardware tokens are always recommended for U2F MFA); you need the ability (but not a requirement) to bind cryptographic identity to IRL identity.

Of course, one doesn’t need to utilize this, but you’re SOL without a recovery mechanism of last resort (unless individual sites and services have their own recovery processes to re-provision a user who no longer has access to their cryptographic credentials).
Allow deeplinking TV buttons into smart TV apps (should be easy to provide) and let me use smart playlists to put together flow experiences that I can assign as channels. Solve my decision paralysis, let the playlist be supplier agnostic, and solve the bundling paradox as well.
Except for the fact that a mobile phone does not, as far as I'm concerned, fall in the "user's own device" category, as much as Google would like you to believe it does.
Exactly. The cost of my WFH monitor setup alone was more than what Meta’s asking for the Pro.
It used to be you could only buy Coke in glass bottles. The mass market proved it didn't like glass bottles, so the vendors moved away from them. If the consumer preferred glass bottles it would be the plastic bottle that is hard to come by today, but in reality the consumer prefers the plastic bottle. They are much cheaper and more convenient than the glass bottle.

Let's not downplay how much power the consumer actually has. A business like Coca-Cola would end up bankrupt in a matter of days if it didn't listen closely to what consumers are willing to buy. It, again, delivers plastic because that's exactly what the masses want. Business is tightly bound the whims of the consumer. Business only exists to serve the consumer.

That doesn't mean people prefer bad things. The plastic bottle is clearly superior in many ways, even if has some negative externalities. There is good reason why the masses don't want to move away from it, even amid the good reasons to stop their production.
What if the US government was really dominated by a small cadre of elites? One can make a good case for that thesis; it would be terrible if true, but we have to be realistic in our outlook. Someone clever said that politics is the art of what is possible.
Calling it "benevolent sexism" is using a technical term you seem to be unfamiliar with. Benevolent sexism towards women is considered harmful to women and equality. Likewise attributing something overly positive to men would be considered harmful to men.

> By that same logic the bias that "men are smarter than women" is benevolent sexism.

Yes. Exactly. That's not the gotcha you think it is.

You can educate yourself on what the term means here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambivalent_sexism
Oh the hostility is definitely still present despite (perhaps because of) the CRTC’s regulations. For example, Bell successfully lobbied the CRTC to mandate that you can only buy TV from your ISP if watching on a home ISP cable package. This doesn’t apply to Crave/Netflix/OTT, but if you want to a-la-carte buy a Global TV channel you’ll have to buy it via your ISP, often Bell.

There is definitely a need for things to change yet even in the land of the free (USA), there are talks of trying to “bundle” together OTT streaming as the next wave of getting you to pay more to watch the same content.[1]

There is some good news though. Often when you subscribe to internet there are limited two-year promotions that offer streaming TV at no extra cost. Unfortunately, these plans often don’t include PVR function and also don’t include the ability to skip commercials when playing on demand, but luckily a number of on-demand streaming methods can still be tricked by adblock such as Pi Hole, in my experience. Not all of them, of course.

So many times law enforcement take advantage of this too, to fingerprint devices. The number of people caught because someone leaks packets outside the VPN for a few seconds because they forgot to configure VPN to disable outbound data if VPN drops... I've long wondered if making always on VPN require MDM provisioning on iPhones was a sop to police/criminal investigation forces, especially after Apple's public fights with the FBI over matters like the locked San Bernadino phone etc. I bet very few crims installing VPNs are aware of that apple support doc.

If this was working as it arguably should and could be done easily without MDM provisioning, it would remove a genuinely useful avenue for law enforcement and add more fuel to the the FBI's dislike for Apple's security features.
I really like the idea, but it does seem like a hard thing to be sure of. I suppose a secondary question is: does it look nice? :)

> I pay the US government protection money at a higher rate than the mob demanded (~35% vs ~15%)

Does your mob allow a bunch of deductions, tax dodges, "carried interest" rates, IRA's, and other tricks to cut what the well-to-do actually pay them down to half (or less) of their headline "rate"?

EDIT: Examples so far seem to be limited, one-off "if you're patting the right guy's back" situations. Vs. the US gov't allows an unlimited number of sleazy Wall Street types to launder unlimited amounts of money through various tax dodges. This might be good evidence that the mob is smarter about collecting "taxes" than the US gov't...but it sounds like the answer to my question is "basically, no".
Just make everything a link (a tag) unless you can't. Doesn't matter how it looks like. It can be some text with underline or it could look like a button.

Even if the button only does some action on the page, it could still be represented with a url. Sometimes it doesn't make sense. Then that's the time to use something other than an a tag.

If this were the default, most of this problem wouldn't exist.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but those seems to be 3d renderings/animations rather than interactive games, different class :)

Because a VC that is more concerned with the type of phone you use than your product/service/company is probably a VC you should stay away from.

Imagine explaining to investors in your VC - "You know that XYZ company that just IPO'd for several billion dollars? Yeah I passed on their series A because the founder didn't have an iPhone despite the business itself being really solid". If I was an investor in that VC I'd sue the partners into the ground over such trivial bullshit.
If you like this, you'll like Planiverse (1984) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Planiverse

A bit like the classic Flatland book, this also imagines a 2D world, and also fosters thinking about higher dimensions. But there's a nice shift: if there's an "up" in Flatland, it points out of the world, whereas in Planiverse, the up is in-world, and we visit the world by looking at it from the side, rather than from above. So the creatures of Planiverse would be great at playing MAR1D.

Planiverse also creatively thinks through a lot of the physical and mechanical realities of living in a 2D world, and is wrapped in a poignant narrative about using computers to connect to alternate realities.

(ah shoot I just learned that the author has turned into a 9/11 truther, but Planiverse remains a cool book)

> My advice—don’t do this. While rarely there might be something interesting to learn from bad employment stories, writing them as someone who is not of notoriety just tarnishes one’s image. The benefit is only, and only rarely, for the reader.

Yes, this is very good advice. You have at-will employment and there's little reason to stick around if you're unwanted and / or your interested / skilled in a different area. It just breeds resentment in both directions.

Speaking poorly about your prior employers will make future employers wary. Even if it was anonymous.

> To my knowledge this is pretty close to how updates work today.

But isn't the key advantage of coreOS's model, a sort of green/blue deploy model for the OS — i.e. that it can write out the new updated OS release in the background while the previous release of the OS is running; and then, when it's done, "update" by just rewriting the EFI boot list to default to the new release — without even needing to reboot to perform the update, instead just saying "the next time you reboot, you'll be booting into the new release"?

There's no reason that an "OS update" under this model, should ever be a thing that takes over your whole computer, and then sits around with an "updating" progress bar, blocking startup. But that's what macOS does.

I think your intended meaning, was that the current model involves a binary diff that gets used to patch the OS volume, while the OS is booted into the recovery volume. Which, yeah, uses kind of the same abstractions — but doesn't give any of the key advantages.
It depends on how you see it. I agree with you, generally, but in the limit, if you memorised all possible instances of multiplication, then yes, you could certainly be said to know multiplication.

I've not just come up with that off the top of my head, either. In PAC-Learning (what we have in terms of theory, in machine learning) a "concept" (e.g. multiplication) is a set of instances and a learning system is said to learn a concept if it can correctly label each of a set of testing instances by membership to the target concept with arbitrary probability of error. Trivially, a learner that has memorised every instance of a target concept can be said to have learned the concept. All this is playing fast and loose with PAC-Learning terminology for the sake of simplification.

The problem of course is that some concepts have infinite sets of instances, and that is the case with arithmetic. On the other hand, it's maybe a little disingenuous to require a machine learning system to be able to represent infinite arithmetic since there is no physical computer that can do that, either.

Anyway that's how the debate goes on these things. I'm on the side that says that if you want to claim your system can do arithmetic, you have to demonstrate that it has something that we can all agree is a recognisable representation of the rules of arithmetic, as we understand them. For instance, the axioms of Peano arithmetic. Which though is a bit unfair for deep learning systems that can't "show their work" in this way.
Wow, this is eerily similar to my previous employer (even down to the industry!). I loved loved loved the product, my role in it's success, and the problems I was tasked with solving. Unfortunately, humans can take all of the fun out of robots.

I too pride my self in stress resilience, but at a certain point I realized the joy in my work was offset by the annoyance of interpersonal issues. Leaving the company was bittersweet. I was still going to work in robotics, but it certainly wasn't as "cool". Now that it's been a few months at my new gig, I realize my QoL is much better as I actually enjoy the people I primarily work with.

Providing ultimatums to upper management may cure your woes, but you have to be willing back up the consequences you promised. So if action isn't taken by the CEO you'll need to fulfill your promise of leaving, or at least get an offer to show you're serious. If things don't change when you show your strongest hand, that's definitely a sign it's time to leave.

Yeah, we paid for an extra sports package so my wife could watch her UK football. "WTF? There's huge ads taking up 20% of the screen? And every time we start (or restart) watching, we have to watch a minute of ads? Fuck that" was mostly my wife's response (possibly slightly less salty language, but that's how I remember it now).

She's gotten really good at finding various streams for the games she wants to watch, and just watches those, usually with no ads. To keep the system we had to watch them "legally" was... I think "only" $90/month - $60 something plus more for 'basic sports'. Oh... but you want HD? That's even more. And you need a new satellite dish. That will be an extra $200/installation.

But had we just been a new customer... I'm sure they'd have thrown the world at us for free for the first 3-6 months.

You guess wrong! I'm a hiring manager, and I'm very good at it. In the last few years I've had multiple quarters in which I successfully hired at a rate of 1 engineer a month or higher.

One of the first things I do when I get a new job is reach out to whoever I partner with on recruiting and spend significant time working with them to make sure they understand what I'm looking for and how to do initial screens if that's the recruiter's role in this company. I talk about diversity and how I approach it. For the first month or so at least, I ask the recruiter to show me as many resumes as possible and I give a paragraph or two of feedback on each one so they know what I did or didn't like about them.

I also expect that I'll be doing a fair amount of time searching LinkedIn myself, particularly at the beginning of the process, for the same reasons I give the recruiter solid feedback on resumes -- it helps them understand what I want out of my candidates. I also tend to pull in my team for sourcing sessions, because there's always someone on the team who knows a perfect candidate but didn't think to refer them.

If the company isn't paying me for a LinkedIn professional account with unlimited searches, I'm not gonna pay for it myself, mind you. In that case the amount of searching I can do is limited, but that's life.

Let's review what the original author said:

> I spent months waiting for a single person to apply who fulfilled the racial requirement. When no one did, I spent hours trying to find people on LinkedIn who I thought might count as black or Hispanic based on their name or resume.

"I spent months waiting." That's awfully passive, but I've had bad recruiters in the past, so I get the possibility. However, as I said, I would be annoyed if my company had a goal -- regardless of what it was -- and the recruiters weren't actually doing anything to help me reach it.

> Eventually, he acquired the tweets in question, and we were both stunned about why these benign tweets, which were clearly not about the company's financials, were being flagged. Then, he finally confided in me that the person who reported this to him was the SVP I had been working with previously, Rick.

I used the term "flagged" which was described in the article. I assumed it means that "this SVP was sharing them with your boss and saying -- this is bad" or something.

Who was this SVP? Why did he setup the social media council? What was his job function?

With your knowledge that logging occurred you know at least humans occupied the land with a purpose so tools and other lost modern items are certainly present. Unaware of Washington State land deeds and mappings this is where I would start as a pointer to potential item locations. You should definitely purchase a metal detector and just go for aimless walks because before there were banks people hid their money, some is still buried hint hint. In your walking you will learn the topology and erosion patterns of your land and this is the secret to finding surface items time and again. Of course YMMV with frequency of discoveries but even the remotest places known have had human occupation or at least passage with the opportunity to lose or discard items.

It is my perspective that gender and race are completely insignificant compared to culture and it annoys me how often Anglo-Saxons think otherwise, probably because of never really having interacted with a foreign culture.

In the end, from my perspective, Anglo-Saxons from whatever gender or color tend to think very much alike and very different from persons from entirely different countries. The country one is born in influences one's perspectives far more than one's gender or skin color, how could it not really?

That they prioritize such minutiæ over bigger problems is something I found a slap in the face, or rather, a reminder of the issue that they're probably barely aware of it and don't realize how different the perspective of other culture can be.
You make the case for pay-per-view shows.
