> What is the "Material Existence of Being Female." I'm guessing you mean assigned gender?

No, I mean sex. From a radical feminist perspective, this is what women and girls have been and still are oppressed and disadvantaged by, as a class.

For example, if you consider women denied the right to vote, this was imposed based on them being female, whether it's the pre-1920s United States, or Saudi Arabia prior to 2015.

Another example, if you look at Afghanistan under the Taliban right now, women and girls denied the right to education are being persecuted on this basis due to being female. They can't just somehow reassign themselves to the male sex and identify out of this oppression, that's not how it works.

IMO the better long-term solution is to educate everyone on the concept of preparing and structuring a meeting adequately in advance, to only invite the people who should really attend, and not be afraid to say no when you believe you don't need to attend when justified.

IMO the person creating the meeting has that responsibility to prepare and structure the event to minimize the time required.

I personally include a document in the meeting invite containing the talking points in advance, which gives the time to those who participate to prepare their content and add more points if relevant. I guide the discussion through those points while also taking notes, and when the meeting is over I share a meeting summary to all those who attended so that we all have that info written down, easy to Ctrl+F if needed.

So far I think everyone enjoys the effort I put in these.

The rest of the work is documented through our incident management system to keep everyone in the loop, and wr have our group chat for the ad-hoc discussions.
Yeah..the voting is a sham anyways. Opinions matter more than a down vote.
I found this video, "Edgelord Movies and the Men who Love Them
" [1] by sociologist F.D Signifier, to be a particularly interesting exploration of this specific disappointment. His thesis is that young white men are more attracted to edgelord movies like Joker, Falling Down, American Psycho, or Fight Club that portray a sudden violent break from social norms because they start with an elevated expectation of how society will cater to them that gets shattered one day. The idea of a protagonist that lashes out and punishes "the system" through stochastic violence is very attractive.

Young non-white men are less likely to be under the impression that society is looking out for them in the first place, so their choice of anti-social entertainment looks very different. It's more about detachment and the use of violence for personal enrichment because the social system doesn't matter.

Depending on the crash, the engine being pushed under can launch the car into the air, where it is more likely to roll over. Contrast this with EVs where the battery is basically a giant puck that the occupants are sitting on top of; the deformation of the crumple zone and the low center of gravity cause the vehicle to rotate away instead of being launched.
I wonder what causes this high electricity use. Not because it's any of my business, it's just genuine curiosity.

He never reveals actual use, only savings. Still, at 0.25$ per kwh charged and an average monthly saving of 210$, we can work out that 860 kwh/month was saved, which amounts to 10,320 kwh per year. Actual use may be (far) higher, but we don't know.

Just these savings alone is triple my total electricity consumption (in the Netherlands) in a fairly similar weather pattern. And I'm not exactly frugal with electricity: big TV, washer, dryer, powerful oven, multiple PCs, and even a few small power hungry electrical heaters (due to very high gas prices).

I'm not exactly projecting a personal situation. Our government has established that median/typical use of a dutch household is 2,900 kwh/year in order to qualify for the new price ceiling, a temporary measure to keep energy affordable.

So here we're talking about 3 times more than an above average consumer (me), and what might be a factor of 4-6 more than our median. Yet the person is unlikely to live in a mansion as he can't afford to pay for the panels in cash. I don't mean that in a judgemental way.

Large scale permanent electrical heating/cooling in every room? EV car? What would cause such enormous usage?

Again, I don't ask this to justify usage, only to understand it.

I work in metal fabrication, rarely took my last MacBook to work, but the micro fine metal follows me home and ultimately resulted in destruction of that laptop due to the magnets in the charge connector.

Apple's phones are too fragile for my liking too, after having ruined a few in this environment.

I liked using Apple's gear, but it's all too precious-jewelry like for me in this industry.

Big Ideas in Tech for 2023
This first got really bad during the Trump presidency. One could be reading the least "political" article imaginable, and suddenly see something condemnatory about Trump that smugly assumes that everyone reading surely agrees. Nowhere was safe: Film reviews, book reviews, articles about cooking, travelogues, minor human-interest stories, you name it.

During the aforementioned Trump years I thought at times about creating /r/ihatetrumpbut, a subreddit for collecting articles/posts/comments in which the author felt the need to declaim "I hate Trump, but [something Trump/US government did may not necessarily be 100% fascist/evil/a bad idea]". Basically, a Lord's Prayer to preemptively avoid the devil's accusation of maybe possibly being a (shudder) Trump sympathizer in some small way. Hey, maybe I'll get more motivation to pull the trigger in November 2024!
Not wealthy, but I have long believed that too much wealth can be a curse.

Did you pay cash for your TV? If not, then the retailer knows the serial # of the TV they sold you and who you are. If they partner with the manufacturer and share the sales data back to them (why wouldn't they? More $$$) then the TV maker has your identity.

Bernstein Says Crypto Exchange Binance Not Likely to Fail
In the next years I’ll have to face the same question.

One of my parents manages and also own a part of a century old company, I’m sure must be one of the oldest continually running companies in my country.

After a century though, the percentage of the company that we actually own is smallish, perhaps about 20%, and the rest is owned by more distant relatives not involved in the administration.

One part of me would like to continue running the company, even though I’d have to take a pay cut. But it would only make sense if I owned a larger part of the business, which would be by its own an expensive thing to do.
Even if it's not true, it shows that RSA is breakable by the near future.
VCs job is also to maintain a reputation for good investments. Now, founders will rationally devalue investments from a16z lest they be associated with such unsavory company, even if they aren’t crypto-related. Especially if these kinds of party rumors keep going around.
In good faith, it sounds like you see the difference as “alcohol/cigarettes can kill you so it’s different.”

How about e-cigarettes? I see some similarity to pornography; they’re arguably both not harmful — vaping doesn’t cause cancer; it was invented as a safe alternative.

You are assuming that people not wanting to have kids has to do with some worldwide sentiment rather than the simple reality on the ground – it is just not financially viable anymore. Costs like housing, healthcare and college tuition have risen thousands of percent more than inflation and wage growth in the last few decades. More and more households have both spouses working full time and still not able to afford a decent house or minor luxuries. Add in childcare, education, supplies and more for 1-2 kids and the math simply doesn't add up.

IT as a cost center strikes again
I wanted to try 10x, it doesn't exist for Linux.

Sublime Text on the other hand, I purchased a licence for ST3, I am still using it with ST4, and I am happy with it. I use ST for C++, PHP, Python, LaTeX (it's actually great for LaTeX, with inline equations) and web stuff. Also use it to explore Rust, go, dlang, edit huge SQL files, JSON files, etc.

I think at some point I will get a new ST licence.

With regard to 10x, I don't use Windows to program, and I will not reboot the computer just to test it, as good as it could be.
So, since you have a limited window to work with where the kid can't see how the modern world is today, this will be a 2 year old learning basic and/or C on a 486? Their brains aren't ready for that kind of cognitive development at that age. You were a lot older back in the 80s and weren't exposed to people or society with much better stuff. Kid is going to see that dad forces them to use a 33 year old machine with poor resolution graphics and sound and is slow as molasses.

Let me frame this differently. Your father or grandfather cut the grass with a sickle. Why aren't you doing the same thing? You can buy a sickle even now. Yet, you presumably use an electric or gas mower. Why not a sickle?

Because a sickle sucks and it was fine for the time. Not now.

PS. After a kid has frustrated out, it's already too late. You're never getting them back because they've already decided they hate it. Lots and lots of kids with parents who wanted to live through them again or wanted them to be a clone of the parent, and these kids rebelled against their planned lives. Same thing with parents who force their kids to eat a food that they've already expressed that they do not like the taste of it. They don't suddenly start liking the food when they are older. Listen to what they're saying, don't force it. This isn't the army.
> So in short, Russia becoming a local hegemon is fine in principle

As an outside observer, perhaps, but I suspect for those in Eastern Europe who lived under Russian hegemony in living memory, even this would be undesirable.

> But now I don't actually know why I went down this thread, I don't think Putin believes he should and can become a local hegemon.

It is a matter of speculation whether Putin actually believes in expanding Russia and its sphere of influence, or merely acts so, but it hardly matters if that's the way he's acting.
> Alternatively, they [US big tech] could pay the fees, but pass the costs onto end-users

Of course they'll pass the costs to end users, everybody does.

The point is that end users are already paying to use their connection. If the price is too low, it should be upon the ISP to increase their fee to end users.

Anyway, it's us, the end users, that want to see streaming video. It's not forced to us from the USA.

I don't think the most common use of something being "to make scams or other worthless things" is enough to make that thing "a scam".

Think about cryptography for a second…. In cryptography you need a problem that if you know the key is fast to decode but if you don’t is really slow… like you would have to search all the possibilities one by one. Such problems are (basically…) called NP. P are all the algorithms that are fast on computers. If P = NP than any problem you could use for cryptography could be decoded fast
One handy resource for tape deck belts, aside from the library of service manuals at hifiengine (whose user registration has been "under maintenance" for months, at least), is turntableneedles.com.

Despite the domain name they carry a large variety of belts for things well beyond turntables, and more importantly have a searchable resource to match belts to product models and OEM service manual numbers: https://www.turntableneedles.com/find10.asp

If they don't stock the belt, you can often find the same-sized belt elsewhere. But it helps immensely to know what you're looking for. They also stock tools designed for belt replacements. This helped me replace the belts in my old Realistic/Radio Shack boombox's deck.
Social media is not email, not a platform for forming communities, so I will ignore all those questions.

Your final argument is that blocking bad actors is ineffective- they could just move.

Well, if a bad actor did move- I would report them to the instance admin.

If their admin was not interested in dealing with them, I would consult my admin and discuss blocking that instance.

My experience with defederation is that in the real world, on the real network, that it is incredibly effective. I do NOT see bad actors on my instance.
But "invariant" has application in various areas, e.g. you can have a loop invariant, or function invariant.

Oddly enough, I talked to a college friend on Sunday (our yearly tradition), and he has a thriving business helping buyers of such businesses! (Not in Japan, though.)

There are a lot of older people who used to own businesses, and are looking for something new to run in their semi-retirement years. Once they find one, he helps them complete the sale.

I wouldn't have thought there was a business there, but apparently there is.

Reminds me of a different but somewhat similar situation faced in the US by the Gamble-Skogmo holdings [0] - 4300 stores - back in the 1970s. The complex lashup (dozens of store names) was decades old, the aging owner wanted out, the purchaser went bankrupt in two years. Some of the pieces survived (Red Owl to SuperValu), the rest fell apart. Maybe a co-op could work.
