> I'm kind of disappointed that the EFF never issued a correction or retraction for this claim.

What kind of correction or retraction would you be looking for? That is explicitly Twitter policy[1].

Trump may have eventually crossed a line. That doesn't mean his line was in the same place as other people's.

To me, a gamble is something where you go in with the intention of let's say, a 55% chance of winning, and a 45% chance losing it all; or a 10% chance of massively winning, and a 90% chance of losing it all. Whereas investing in things like equities is less binary (as it's rare for things to go to $0), and if you have good investment skills, investing seems to me to offer much greater ways to exploit inefficiencies in the market than what gambling does, and can create much better returns, no matter the asset class.

Obviously one has to be careful which asset class one invests in. High yield bonds are riskier than investment grade bonds; equities are riskier than high yield bonds; bluechip crypto is riskier than equities, and speculative tokens are riskier than bluechip crypto. I think all that is understood, and I was well aware of that aspect of the risk. But an aggressive choice of asset class doesn't necessarily turn it into a gamble, so I reject the way you framed this as a "gamble".

The one thing I would consider a gamble was my "gamble" that FTX would not go under before I had a chance to take my money out. I think it's probably fair to call that a gamble, if that's what you are referring to.

In either case, it's interesting how humans tend to be a quite a compassionate species in face of adversity, and yet, this specific topic seems to trigger something in the human psyche that elicits vitriol and compassion in roughly equal amounts, even as many people are clearly facing adversity. I'm not judging that reaction, but I'm curious as to why it's happening.
The Fediverse en masse - and most participants that i have met on the Fedi in my 13 or so years on this thing - are not trying to "take off". However, the beauty of the freedom of the underlying protocols and other mechanisms like the software employed (with mastodon being only one example), offer the ability to scale up *if so desired*...But, again, my experience tells me that the vast majority like it as-is. For Mr. Bardin, while he might wish to scale his effort up to Twitter-like scale, i merely wished that he used some of the open source software already used and developed on the Fedi....with the benefit of more and continued universal interaction. There is already precedent, such that the mastodon.social instance is maybe one of the biggest if not the biggest instance on the Fedi (Of course, i know its not twitter scale, but its still pretty huge relatively speaking)....but the size of a big instance doesn't stop other instances from happlily staying small, but while still allowing for interaction among all. That's all i'm saying.
> Manliness, how much a "man" someone is, is a huge spectrum and it's socially defined. Likewise, how "womanly" someone is is a spectrum, and also cultural.

This doesn't seem to be anything new. Go back 100 years, or more, there were manly women and effeminate men.
I don’t think anyone was implying that at a literal level, no need to get triggered.
You are making the determination by declaring that this article is intolerant.

It's a woman's opinion about how language is changing in ways she disagrees with. It isn't her advocating for hatred or violence.
Do you have a URL for a current chart? The old, single runway config would require proceeding on taxiway A to get to 34. The latest chart I could find online was 2019/2020, but there’s no way to get to the runway without transiting a taxiway on that side.

As much as I love BASIC from a nostalgia standpoint, Logo is still better -- Scratch is basically blocks-based Logo, and so Logo makes more sense as a first text-based language.

There's plenty of Logos out there at varying degrees of complexity as well: Lynx, Terrapin, turtleSpaces etc.

And they don't have static typing!
Another nail out of the coffin for decentralised platforms
More surprising is that they haven't been swallowed up by Match Group.
That hasn’t been my experience, but possibly the over-representation of males in the industry means trans people in tech are more likely to be trans women.
Tech has lots of places tolerant of people falling outside the "mainstream normal", pays well (which is quite useful for people who want to medically transition), and until quite a short time ago, niche online communities were probably one of the main avenues for people to understand what's going on with them and what they can do about it.
You need to prime the cycle somewhere though, i.e. Either someone started identifying as a chicken and laying eggs, or someone started identifying as an egg and transformed into a chicken.

That whole pure astral energy egg inception has no scientific basis and comes entirely from poultryian cults chickenshit
I agree that this is the goal. And a worthy one. However, I think a lot of the controversy around self-identity centric models of gender is that they don't achieve that goal. They don't allow people to talk about the physical aspects of sex, which is something that lots people want to do. And they redefine gender in such a way that many people will feel like they no longer self-identify as the gender they identified as their entire lives.
Clarifying question: are you saying that 1% of humans don't produce either "small mobile gametes or large, immobile ones"? In that case what do they produce?

I've noticed that in the debate around 'binary' (on Twitter, I confess), some people claim that no human has ever been observed who didn't produce either sperm or ova (and never both). I'd like to know whether that's true. If it's true, then the GP's claim covers 100% of cases, not 99%.
I haven't driven a manual with hill assist, but indeed this is a difficult thing to master especially on an unfamiliar car. It takes a while to get used to the pedals on any car, much more so the clutch. Drifting backwards down a hill is a scary thing to happen at first!

I find that automatic drivers aren't used to engaging with the handbrake, which is the real secret to starting up a hill.
I think assembly isn't a great way to do that.

If you are looking to set yourself apart to others in terms of applying to universities (I'm assuming) then I would focus on full-stack and making complete sites/apps that are engaging more than feature-rich.

Also, consider applying to your congressional district's Congressional App Challenge.
They got 5/8 correct for the last year, so basically a bit better than a random guess. Seems like the future is still hard to predict...

Edit: As some people have pointed out, around half weren't binary choices (which I didn't notice) so 5/8 is actually good!
Can someone explain to me the advantage of using Nix over containers? What do they offer that are not provided with using docker or other container platform.
Awesome! There are a few different paths you can take, depending on what type of robotics you are interested in.

Consumer/Commercial robotics. These are things like Roombas and Robomows. The dominate type of engineer in these companies is embedded systems and firmware engineer. You should probably switch to an electrical or computer engineering and get experience with some robotics program at your school which is smaller scale and works with microcontrollers and C/C++.

Advanced robotics. Things like Boston Dynamics. These companies also have embedded system engineers, but it is more important to have high-level controls experience. You should look for a CS or other degree which includes control theory, Digital Signal Processing, and so on. A lot of universities have robotics programs (think DARPA challenge) and teams, definitely join one of those.

Good luck!
This is true, the gearbox almost sucks the next gear in. I often do it when taking first gear while rolling at a low speed.
Because you're conflating biological sex and gender. That has led to ignorance of the latter and a lot of hate, which is why people will argue with you over it.
I'm tipsy and that was quite the trip. Not sure how I've never heard this before. Now it's gonna be stuck in my head for days.
I give you the Münchhausen or Agrippa“s trilemma. But in math we start with natural numbers or sets.
Starting with „wise“ and „loving“ as primitives is a different thing.

You can even treat mathematics as syntax, that only gets meaning when applied to the world. Then your primitives get meaning by what you can technically construct with it and by what you can predict with it. That together with the no miracles argument let‘s science circumvent the trilemma in my opinion. All that’s needed is a pragmatic semantic, or better practice as a quite weak fundament.

That link says 0.13%, first off, and it only includes people who have visible genital differences.

Many, many more people have different genetic configurations that can manifest well after birth.

I'll admit I rounded up to one percent from something that was a large fractional percent.
William Dttmer defines strategy as “the means and methods required to satisfy the conditions necessary to achieving a system’s ultimate goal.”

Alright. Well that's a very long winded way of saying 'general plan' with a useless pet definition that adds nothing by some dude.

Similarly, if you are interested in strategy, you will inevitably encounter military and business strategy. That doesn’t mean you need to enlist in the military, or sprout pointy hair.

No kidding? This is promptly followed by 'Conjoined Triangles of Success' type graphics.

This insight, that strategy is iterative, is the core of John Boyd’s OODA loop. OODA is an acronym for Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act.

This insight, throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, is the core of Robert Matthew Van Winkle's SCALE loop. SCALE is an acronym for Stop, Collaborate, and Listen.
When have we ever had a government-run social network before?

We've had many failed attempts at 'anything as long as it's not breaking a law' online spaces.

why aren't physical, offline public squares full of screaming bigots?

Because we impose severe social costs on people for that sort of thing. The screaming bigots are only bold and screaming when they feel they can avoid them. An 'anything goes' pseudonymous online forum is effectively a gift to them and mostly them - most people prioritize other things in their online social spaces far above 'anything goes'.
Acknowledging that a minority exists is not “designing society” after them. It’s accepting reality.
Ah ok, I see what you mean.

This is different from how I would understand the notion Ur-Logic: Just a logical system that can express anything you want, given you are free to add axioms. Obviously there are a few choices for that.
That's a cool idea. How about integrations like github or notion which would write out a markdown file?
>it is also 100% unacceptable to hide that when you are dating.

If you need to know about someone's genitals, you can just ask them before you meet them. No-one is hiding information about their genitals by identifying as a particular gender. Don't make unwarranted assumptions and you won't have any problem. (That said, the false conception that trans people are tricksters lying in wait to ambush you with their unexpected genitals is a pretty big component of trans panic transphobia.)

If, as GP suggests, the underlying reason behind all this is pregnancy and families, then there are questions you have to ask anyway. Not every cis man or woman is fertile or wishes to have children.
I'm more excited about NVIDIA's acquisition of Parabricks and the version 4.0 of the software that makes it free to use, than I am about DRAGEN. At the very least it's good to have some competition in the space, Illumina's stuff is always SO expensive. We'll have to see what hardware will win in the end.
You wouldn’t notice if the maintainer was in the LGB part.
Why did they do that? Is it because VirtualBox and containers destroyed the market for them? Not enough money to bother competing with Parallels?
Nice, thank you! This does look promising.

https://www.arthurkoziel.com/replacing-docker-desktop-for-ma...

According to this article, file sharing between the container and the host is about 80% faster in Colima than Docker Desktop for Mac, but still much slower than native:

# Docker Desktop for Mac
IOPS: 1545
Bandwidth: 6.3MB/s

# Colima
IOPS: 2786
Bandwidth: 11.4MB/s

# Native
IOPS: 28.6k
Bandwidth: 117MB/s

Colima doesn't have all the annoying popups, telemetry, and other commercial aspects that turn off many developers from Docker Desktop for Mac. It sounds like a drop-in replacement otherwise. Terrific!

I'll still try to keep as much development native as possible for now, but if it ever gets to be a real pain I'll give Colima a try before mixing docker entirely.
This looks like catching up to GNU Awk, which allows "delete a" to clear an associative array. That's an extension over POSIX, which specifies "delete a[key]".
A new Norway-Poland pipeline was opened one day before the NS attacks.
And the attack occurred not far from it.

Showing that just switching away from Russia as a supplier is not enough to be safe, since they could just hit that one just as easily.
Biological differences are real but lots of them can be changed by hormones. People caring about how they are categorised is universally central to a lot of people, this article illustrates that. I think ciswomen have the right to be upset about changes in language but transmen deserve no less rights for being a minority. How different ideas of how language should be used can be reconciled is not something I know the answer to, but denying the biological reality of changes experienced by people who are trans is discrimination. I don't think the complaints expressed by this writer are invalid, quite the opposite, but her support for gender criticals makes everything hypocritical.
Or 1.7%, linked from that paper. I don't think there's a consensus number, I picked something in the middle and approximated to a whole integer.
Do you think the world we lives in constitutes intelligences that are non-human? Do you believe that all humans possess the same intelligence?

This is correct. "Left bit of your right foot and right bit of your right foot."

Social power is also somewhat logarithmic due to social structures and also things like economies of scale. The president of Monsanto has vastly more power than a single farmhand. With things like relationships, one can impact more than just the physical space around them as well.

To the point about side effects, varying degrees of power bring other things with it...admiration, jealousy, competition, responsibility, etc...and most people can't and won't perform well under such pressure.

While Gandalf is a good 'perfect' example, Frodo exemplifies the struggles of everyday people a bit better. We can see through the storyline how Frodo constantly struggles with the ring, and how close he comes to succumbing to it(Sam too!).
"at a time in my life when I have never felt more essentially female, more debilitated by a physical condition directly attributable to my biological sex, more in need of clear, informative language describing what I’m going through, journalists and medical authorities are hard at work seeking to obfuscate the differences between male and female bodies."
> Yes, why would you ever want a map with floating point keys?

One possible answer: you're in Javascript or something similar. You wanted integer keys, but all you have is floating-point numbers.
> Sex is binary even if we have a hard time seeing it or measuring it sometimes, or even if the answer is different in two places (Chimerism) etc.

Aren't intersex people the canonical example that sex is not binary? If it were, there would be no intersex people. I agree that we shouldn't conflate intersex with transgender as they're entirely different things. But it seems to me that neither is binary.
Considering how many crazy bugs are getting introduced now in windows, I wouldn’t be that surprised.
I met someone at a french conference who told me that their latest foodie experience at a truffle house was that "They can't taste the truffle". They can see it is truffle, but it just doesn't taste anything they associate with truffle. I was no truffle expert then, and didn't have anything to add to the conversation, so I just shrug it off. This article reminded me of that conversation. Restaurants who are honest are punished by this scam.
Because they are electric versions of push/kick scooters and not electric versions of motor scooters.
Well, no - when it comes to the modern manual transmission, we're now mostly discussing these kinds of cars. The manual is rare (and moreso by the year) in just about every other segment.
> It isn't her advocating for hatred

Are you sure about this specifically? Her own subtitle disagrees: "I have no patience left for gender activists who pretend that men can give birth."

I struggle to understand what "no patience left" for [population] means other than human intolerance, which goes hand in hand with hatred.
I have clarified my comment a few levels up.
This looks nice! I’m really enthusiastic about these nix based dev env systems. Recently saw devbox[0] here, tried it out and fell in love. It’s made me very interested in all things Nix!

I follow a trans man on IG who got pregnant and had a child long after transitioning. Interesting journey to follow.
I'm a member of 102 groups on Meetup. Not sports, because I have never played any sport, but many tech groups, reading groups, and hiking groups. No singles groups, because I'm not looking to date and I'm not in my 20s anymore (and don't feel like paying membership fees).

I have been methodically taking turns trying all of their in-person events.

Hiking groups are dominated by retirees who have trouble relating to me socially. I have not found a reading club that meets IRL. The "philosophy meetup" is a bunch of 25-year-old crypto bro edgelords. I keep going to tech meetups, some for over a year, but everyone at them either goes with coworkers or is really apathetic and alienated.
The field seems to have comparatively visible representation, which is something I'm happy to see. An immediate question I have is how much of this change is because of society becoming thankfully more accepting of transpeople? Further by extension, in prior generations of tech workers how many are people who would have not felt able to present who they are?
If we are speculating without any basis then why not Turkey?

They are now signing deals with Russia about transporting gas to Europe.

Obviously it was Turkey!

No, no, sorry - it was Qatar! They are signing gas deals with Germany now. They stand to profit from it.

Please, stop speculating without any basis. You can make a case for basically anyone who trades gas or had any issues with Russia.

Your identity is tied to your account at the bank, not your bank accounts. It's simply a way to identify you are an individual. It is tied to your SSN, and there are very very strict requirements to gain access to this provider (it is run by a branch of government).
Pretty sure one of the things they did in windows land was to just stop supporting 32 bit software.
More boys being encouraged to go into tech is a potential reason. However, personally I think the biggest reason is that lots of people with ASD are in tech, and there is an overlap between ASD and trans. All of the times I can remember where I came a across a trans women in programming, they also had ASD traits.
Is pitching to publishers less precarious?
On the other side this post reminded me that is has been several years since I last played it, so I will check if I am eligible for the achievement.
Not that wikipedia is the end-all, be-all authority on double-clutching.

"While double clutching is not necessary in a vehicle that has a synchronized manual transmission, the technique can be advantageous for smoothly upshifting in order to accelerate and, when done correctly, it prevents wear on the synchronizers which normally equalize transmission input and output speeds to allow downshifting."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_clutching_(technique)
Yeah. We make our own from the trees at our house, and it’s appallingly intensive in time, labor, and land. Obviously there are economies of scale, but it’s much, much worse than any other form of hobby farming I do. But the two gallons or so we make a year are great fun for the kids, and what else are you going to do in March?
To any Twitter engineers, or people with know-how, is Twitter hiring engineers? Yeah, I know, I know, fuck me for wanting to work for that evil bastard, he's the devil incarnate, yada yada. I'm at the point in my life where I want to just put my nose to the grindstone, and my current big tech job doesn't really provide me enough opportunities to do so. Think it could be a great learning opportunity to go join Twitter right now.

That's called asking with more steps.
I'm not conflating anything. I'm asserting that being a man or a woman is a question of biological sex not a question of gender.

You're allowed to disagree but you've already asserted that my view is hateful and ignorant which was my original complaint.
I wasn't attempting to be literal. The observed effect "in the wild" though is pretty obvious, and the overall experience of the internet is worse off for it.
I too just use the handbrake since it feels natural after growing up with it. By the time I'm accelerating I mostly don't notice if any hill-assist was engaged - but this may be a factor of my particular car, and I'm unfortunately unaware of how it feels in some other modern stickshifts.
Very nice.
I'm curious how far it could go.

The Qatar slave helmet.

My company built the smart helmet used to track Qatar’s army of abused workers. The claim is GPS and accelerometer where used to track if a worker stopped moving or fell due to an accident; the geo fencing was supposedly for tracking if they had enough workers in an area for the job.

The reality is the helmets where/are used as mass surveillance tech to ensure workers are continuously active and never leave their assigned areas for petty things like going to the bathroom or finding shade to prevent heat stroke.
> And why aren't physical, offline public squares full of screaming bigots?

They are, but only now and then.

The reason is that, for most (not all) communities, there are only a few screaming bigots within easy reach of the town square, so their demonstrations often look like this[0].

With teh Internets tubes, you can gather together all those little groups of nutters, into one big nutball, so it looks like there's a lot more of them, per capita, than there actually are.
