Can you define “absurdly atypical” as a percentage? Because Democrats barely cleared 60-40 among Hispanics and Asians this midterm. I’m pretty sure that 40% doesn’t meaningfully care about climate change. Does it make sense to racialize an issue based on a split that’s basically dog people versus cat people?

And then there’s all the brown Democrats who don’t meaningfully care about climate change. Nearly all the brown people I know are democrats, and will say they think climate change is real (hell I would say that too) but that doesn’t stop them from buying an SUV.

The people who care deeply about climate change, enough to change their lifestyle, and vote on the issue, are overwhelmingly white. For example, this picture of Extinction Rebellion NYC has to be the whitest gathering in that city: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce0b9b4c14cff... (I’m not cherry picking. That’s the first group picture on their website.)

It’s bullshit when white liberals try to appropriate the political capital of brown people to push issues that they care about more than any one else. It’s a form of political disenfranchisement.

Worked on a core drill rig that that did 2200m core drilling, worked a number of holes from 100-2200m on a few different types of surface rigs. Stuff gets weird when you get deep >1500m. Runs take ages, bit changes can take an entire shift. The structures in the rock can come out looking like a picture in space (black base littered with color). Hitting 10 miles (16km) would be epic.

Created a sports news site. I was very proud of it - in the mid-90s it was fully internationalized for European audiences, and could deliver minute by minute updates. Mostly it was for journalists who would then relay the info over their media, but people on the internet could also use it.

It was commissioned by tobacco firms who had sponsored those teams.

Later on some regulators decided that this could potentially market tobacco to children and it was going to be shut down. My boss joked that we should just remake the site but never mention the names of the teams, only just use their colors. The sponsors thought this was an ingenious idea and we actually did it.

A lot of denial from people working on this project. I heard my product manager and the CEO talking to each other privately about whether this increased tobacco use and they both strongly agreed that it couldn’t, they repeated the common lie told by tobacco companies at the time that it just encouraged people to switch brands.

The most impactful thing I've worked on was vehicle driving systems for quadriplegics. I worked with 4 others and the owner of the business on that for about 12 years back in the 70s-80s.

> It's looking since the US midterms like the new hotness in western hard right circles is going to be the war on youth. Young people (especially women and people of colour) overwhelmingly reject white male supremacism, for fairly obvious reasons: they're also more inclined to be worried about climate change. An immediate response by authoritarians is to push back against any resistance. In the USA, Republicans propose raising the voting age to 21 or even 28; in the UK, New voter ID laws discriminate against young people (old peoples' bus passes are acceptable at polling stations, but young persons' railcards are not), and in Iran we're seeing a striking display of inter-generational violence, as the ageing male authoritarian fundamentalists of the post-1979 revolution shoot young female demonstrators in the streets.

> Some years ago, when asked, SF author Bruce Sterling summed up the 21st century as "old people, living in cities, afraid of the sky". Well, Earth's human population is over 50% urban at this point, the sky is becoming bloody dangerous (climate!), and as for the old people ... the young are trying to adapt, the gerontocracy are pushing back, but eventually the current gerontocrats will die out.

Above is setting up a false dichotomy between Republican/old/white/male and Democrat/female/colour/etc (US version).

If you're voting a certain way you're rejecting white male supremacism. But, both parties are dominated by old white folks to a great extent, so, a vote either direction furthers the existing hegemony which is the Establishment Uniparty.

In recent times, the Uniparty has been weaponized against non-Uniparty of both Dissident/Populist Left & Right.

> they're voting against fascism

What a fraud! We're seeing ever closer ties between Uniparty/TheState and BigTech, and saying something like fascism is actually a cover for voting you don't like, or a non-existent enemy. But, the merger of UniParty and BigTech is alive and well, as BigTech works as the Official Censor of Record for Govt.

You are right, but I think weighting too much on the extreme.

Inciting violence or holocaust denying is outside the spectrum of what can be accepted on any moderation platform (outside of the sheer legal issues, also for the reasons you are citing). Some people want those kind of speeches represented as well, but it just won’t happen, at least not on any platform with public and international exposure.

With anything illegal off the table, sthe debate is more on how to deal with things ranging from flat earthers, hate on fat, furries, sex, anti-capitalism, hyper-capitalism, bigotry, grifting, crypto bros etc

In that “somewhat legal but possibily be deeply disturbing or unwelcoming from some” fringe, advertisers will also gain from being allowed to filter on what moderation strategies people are choosing. Basically it gives them ways to dictate specific rules for their content (e.g a diet product could be fine being advertised next to sex and fat-hate but want nothing to do with crypto-bros, etc.)

Somewhat self-interested plug here: consider working in metabolomics as well. Metabolomics is where sequencing was in ~2008. The physics and chemistry are pretty well worked out (though many improvements are surely coming in the same way that 454 gave way to Illumina, PacBio, Nanopore, etc.). The software and computational workflows are truly awful, like hard to describe bad. The company that figures out metaboloimcs well is going to command a much larger market than genomics - genomics tells you what's possible, metabolomics tells you actually what's happening.
Ask HN: How do you find your local community? (Austin, TX)
Hi all,

I'm struggling to find like-minded people. This is both an online and in person conundrum for me.

I moved to the US many moons ago and have been in a creative field that barely crosses over into technical and I don't know where I'd go for meetups or otherwise!

I've tried reaching out/interacting with individuals in my area through the typical social media channels but I'm just another nobody so I feel in person is the best way to make an impression.

I'm currently in Austin and am looking for folks interested in reversing/sdr/general hackery. HN, do you know how best to make introductions or find new folk?

This is as much a hope for a career shift as it is just making new friends. It's quite isolating! Appreciate any advice you all could give!
> How long ago was that? It's not like their abuse of [foreign] workers is anything new.

It's also not like it's common knowledge. Myself I only learned about it couple years ago, here on HN, because of some comment threads that segued into discussions about Qatar construction projects.

Point being, without knowing anything about OP, including where are they from, you can't assume they had a chance of knowing this before taking the job, or even learning about it on the job. The world is awash with news stories about everything - often you learn about a huge tragedy only when you chance on a story about it.
Not necessarily. "Optimising" a process doesn't always mean increasing per-operator throughput with the goal of reducing the amount of operators required to keep the lights on.

You can optimise for many other things such as on-time delivery in production processes or duplicate/late/early payments of invoices just to name some straightforward examples. In the former case you're optimising the process with the goal of increasing customer satisfaction and in the latter you're optimising many things such as cash flow and working-capital while balancing early payment discounts and late payment penalties.

44 billion isn't that crazy. Twitter needs to make 2B/year to have a p/e of 20.

Twitter revenue was ~5B for the year before takeover. If Elon can keep costs <3 billion and bring back the add revenue, that would work. Firing 80% of workers goes a long way to cutting costs.

Alternatively, if he can somehow grow revenue, that would be another solution.

Design. IPFS is a dead end in design because it's properties are designed with statistical perfection to it's anonymity. This can only ever be achieved statistically, because there's always the attack of "Start Removing nodes at random, and when the content disappears when you remove a node that was your one"

This is a provably unsolvable problem, but it's okay: nobody actually has this problem but the worst social outcasts. In some places that's itself a problem: what "The worst social outcasts" is varies from place to place, but running IPFS is enough proof for a death sentence in those places.

> when you accept idea that sex is social construct

I can’t accept something wrong though. Sex is not a social construct, gender is.

Bearing a child is something exclusively reserved to the female sex, no matter what their preferred gender is. Articles related to pregnancy should not talk about « internal gonades » instead of « ovaries » to be more inclusive. You might identify as a a gender other than female, if your sex is female, you have ovaries, period. It doesn’t invalidate the gender in any way. And ironically it becomes a bit more exclusive of 99% of the female population which is not familiar with this newspeak.

Gender isn't sex.
I, and the director of the movie "The Core", agree completely.
What kind of actually effective controls do you think could possibly exist in a world where everyone can buy the data except the police? Aside from the fact other people and corporations can do quite a lot of horrible stuff to you, including turn the government on you - the obvious outcome is the police would simply use proxies and parallel construction, no matter how "illegal" you make it.

It's one thing to say they shouldn't be able to do it and we need to pass a law, it's another to create a world where they actually can't, and aren't incentivized to.

As a whole separate question, do you think companies and individuals should be banned from voluntarily giving data to the police, out of ideological motives or generosity or whatever? That also just intuitively seems weird. Charging a fee for something you're happy to do is just a small jump. The problem is the mass collection of data in the first place. Once you have that, the rest is inevitable. Mass data collection is a massive qualitative change to what we had before.
> Trusting all blue checks a year ago would have been a very, very foolish strategy.

Trust is a spectrum, and the old system wasn’t perfect, but it was vastly vastly better. I wouldn’t have absolute trust that an account was who it purported to be before, but I had much higher confidence that I did before.

> From what I've seen, the verification hasn't gotten at all worse in the last week.

Then we’ve had vastly different experiences. Did you miss the part where he sold verification for $8, but stopped doing the verification as part of that?

It seems preposterous to claim nothing changed in this regard, while they literally introduced a new feature that entirely changed this aspect of the product.

Edit: to clarify, I don’t think it’s preposterous to claim that your experience is better or unchanged in the new system. What seems preposterous to me is the claim that it’s unchanged from a month ago, when this specific area has undergone a drastic functional change.

> If I go to my office and there are men's rooms, women's rooms, and all gender rooms, I do feel much less excluded.

I'm not against gender neutral spaces. There's often no need to segregate by gender, and it makes no sense to do so if there is no need. What I don't understand is why you feel excluded.

I don't feel an affinity to a gender either, but I understand that bathrooms labelled "mens" are generally intended to apply to people with penises, and bathrooms labelled "womens" a generally intended to apply to people with vaginas. That has nothing to do with any feelings I might or might not have about gender, and it's literally just a room. Why does it matter which one I/you use?

It interesting that this comment is at the top.

The piece its responding to is very clearly centred around pregnancy but here you take it all over the place.

Paraphrasing the thesis of the article "gender inclusive language is harmful and profane in media relating to pregnancy".

Yet, in your comment that's entirely ignored. Which I think is pretty indicative of how this discussion has gone and is going.
I don't understand how your link relates to the topic, but a similar concept in sexual health is the use of the phrase "men who have sex with men" because they have specific health needs but if you ask them to tick a box that says "homosexual" or "gay" then some of them won't identify with those terms.
Because sex is not gender.

Biological sex is binary. Gender is a social construct that may or may not coincide with biological sex.

This is the problem reddit is facing, and I think for anything at scale paying people is the only way forward.

The amount of work required just goes way beyond checking some posts here and then towards the day, and distributing the load towards a huge community of moderators would give other issues on consistency, internal battles and keeping up to date on changes.

To note the people getting paid don’t need to be employed by the platform, I’d totally see a community crowdfund a moderator to tag for them specific content.
