And if a teammate makes it clear they don't want to, and people still do it, it's battery in the UK, and a criminal offense. In theory it'd be an offense even without a warning, but one might expect the defence to argue they believed there had been prior consent.

My ex took someone to court over an unwanted slap on the bum a while back, in case someone thinks this is hypothetic, as the CPS agreed it was a crime though they cautioned they'd have a hard time proving the case.

I responded to your other point elsewhere.
but I hope you understand that if no one did tolerate the abusive then our psych wards and hospitals would be about half as full, right?

That isn't to say that half didn't need help -- it's that humans who need help can be abusive.

So.. what do we do with them? Ignoring these people is about the same fate as 'compartmentalizing' them into a wood-chipper -- doomed.

yeah, this whole idea that "doxxing" is a universal harm needs to be corrected. not exposing people's real-world identities is a courtesy we obey to protect each other from harassment. if it becomes a way to protect the harassers, then we've lost the point.

nobody has a natural right to anonymity, and if your actions are causing real harm then you should expect some of the real-world consequences that come from having your identity exposed.

Can you install homebrew without an Apple account? The last time I owned a mac (some years ago) it seemed as though I was required to have an Apple account to download the 'developer tools' required for homebrew to operate.
You've reduced it down to a single scenario, but that's one of many: it seems just as plausible that the police shot at him, he shot back, and then they hit him multiple times.

It also seems plausible (although less likely) that his gun was fired by someone else. Either way, the important fact is that we do not know more because there is no bodycam footage.
I should have said asymptomatic disorders in general. It's okay to say that you suffer from ADHD, people will support you. But co-workers and especially bosses tend not to appreciate the issues that come with it, such as procrastination, inability to meet deadlines, lack of focus etc.

A broad consensus that application of corporal punishment in children is positively correlated with aggression, poorer mental health outcomes, and domestic violence.

A quick, preemptive edit:

If you take the time to get the ranked list of journals in developmental psychology and then search for this question in those journals, you'll find the consensus gets significantly stronger. As you've already shown us, if you instead go the other direction, and find un-reviewed papers co-authored by professors at private Christian colleges, you can find counterexamples.
Ability to be a hacker or researcher is not on the list of important CEO skills. If I had to collect my (totally unqualified) opinion of most-important skills of a good CEO, I would say:

- Ability to promote a company vision (even if you didn’t invent that vision)

- Ability to recognize and recruit excellent high-level leaders

- Ability to raise money by selling a company vision and instill confidence in investors

- Ability to sell product at the highest levels (e.g manage acquisition, sell to ultra-large organizations, get special gov treatment, whatever “big” sale matters most to the company)

- Ability to crisis manage in the short and long run

As far as I can tell, Sam had a lot of experience in the above in his time at YC and his own startup. On top of this, he had enough connections to get him into the pool of candidates and it looks like a lot of very smart/powerful people in SV are impressed by him when they meet or work with him. Seems like a very good choice to lead to me.

I know it’s Silicon Valley koolaide that good hackers == good CEOs, but it’s not true.

Are you basing that assessment on any specific evidence? This article claim there is no video of the incident.

Law enforcement in the US (and many other countries, including others where environmental protesters are often killed) has been know and documented to lie routinely, so is not a reliable source to take on face value.
It was not an assassination, only an assassination attempt; the trooper has survived being shot by the domestic terrorist.
I basically stopped reading the original article here:

>>Officials say Manuel shot first at a state trooper “without warning” and an officer or officers returned fire, but they have produced no evidence for the claim.

Except of course…for the trooper with the bullet wound in the hospital that is communicated in the very next sentence…

>>The trooper was described as stable and in hospital Thursday.

How does this story get past an editor?
> According to a McKinsey report, nurturing organizational diversity leads to higher profit margins. The most diverse companies outperform their less diverse peers by 36% in profitability.

These are two points contained within the article, in the paragraphs leading up to the conclusion.
I used to think that (due to tribalist human nature) mainstream American culture is structurally blind to the fact that virtue signaling by organizations is often superficial and sometimes gives cover for more discrimination than at places that don't try to sail the currents of the zeitgeist. Posts like this make me realize that sooner or later, organizations will figure out that it's usually better to just avoid carrying banners on social justice topics and focus instead on treating staff and customers fairly and with kindness. No idea on the ins and outs of your lawsuit but I hope that you encounter the justice that you appear to be seeking.

I think that the focus on "percentage of workforce" as a proxy for "amount of discrimination" is a bad idea. Frankly, I don't know how discrimination in the workplace ought to be measured. I know that every single woman I know that works in tech has experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. At a company where I worked, male employees started telling female employees that they shouldn't be wearing pants to work and should be instead be wearing dresses and skirts.

Certainly, these experiences are anecdotal, but I've seen enough anecdotes personally (in addition to reading articles about discrimination at Uber and Blizzard) to suggest that discrimination is a non-negligible problem. I'd definitely be in favor of accurately measuring discrimination since, at the moment, all I know is that it happens to _some_ people, but I have no clue how big that group is.

I doubt that tech companies have any motivation to actually try to measure this accurately. A lot of the "pro-diversity" actions that tech companies have taken seem to be aimed to placate (sometimes misguided) employees worried about diversity issues, rather than trying to actually solve any actual problems.
The US rockies region get to negative F all the time. The area around Antero Reservoir gets to -20F -30F all the time. Winter Park overnight parking is commonly around -10F overnight.

Camping in a car is not an issue at all. Living in a van or an RV is an entirely a different game. For that you need from 2 to 4 kilowatts of heat, for days on end. If you let the temps inside drop below freezing even once, you are dead, all the plumbing is frozen and batteries are out of commission until you warm them up.

Solar is useless in winter. Finding shore power is hard.

There are solved problems in van life and unsolved ones. The heat is solved with gas/diesel. The AC is not solved at all.

As far as the range, I drive a disel van with a range of 400+ miles. It's okay but often times I wish I had more.

Forget it, EV RV is a dumb idea and is never coming. It does not mean they won't be selling one. There's always a sucker to buy.

ok, but aside from a time-machine and time-cops, what do we do?

We 'compartmentalize' the ill out of our lives -- they don't just disappear, they roam the streets and poorly interact with societies ..

-OR-

certain professionals sacrifice aspects of their lives in order to facilitate treatment and professional isolation for such individuals in an effort to keep them off the street and out of interactions with regular society.

which one results in less violent crimes towards regular citizens?

It should be obvious to anyone with their eyes open that someone has to interact with these people to provide rehabilitation and growing potential for people in need.
>What makes it so that Asians are underrepresented,

Their physique.

Fact of the matter is, black peoples' bodies are far more suited for strenuous physical activities than asians'. For the NBA specifically, the average height of blacks compared to that of asians is a significant factor; the taller you are the more advantageous you will be.

For a more in-depth example, over in Japan (note: I'm Japanese-American) athletes who have some foreign blood in them tend to perform better in sports compared to 100% Japanese athletes. Not to mention 100% foreigners who moved to Japan who will, in general, perform better than anyone with Japanese blood.

The reality is asians aren't as physically capable as other races, generally speaking.

>and would the games be more interesting if these causes were addressed ?

No. I think I speak for the majority when I say we watch sports matches to spectate top-of-the-class athletes doing their best, regardless who or what they are.

If there are obvious diversity quota players in the mix, that would /reduce/ the overall fun and interest because the sport stops being about the best athletes performing their best.
Yes, the executives who give long speeches about the oppressed are often also ones who push their teams to work 12 hour days and burn their people out. Somehow their kindness is only displayed in the abstract, never to actual people who work for them.

This doesn't make any sense. Amazon can choose to pay Google per conversion instead of per click, but whether to send the conversion ping is already up to Amazon. They don't need to use something like Smile to get an excuse for not sending the ping: they can just not send the ping.

(Why send pings at all? The reason to pay per conversion is to let Google optimize for sending you the cheapest traffic that converts. Your bids still end up in auctions against others, though, and if Google's estimate of how likely this traffic is to convert on your site is lower, the bids they'll put in on your behalf are lower, and you'll lose lots of auctions you'd have preferred to win.)

I would also be surprised if Amazon were paying Google on a per-conversion basis, since I bet Amazon wants to do their optimization in-house.

Now, if you said this was a sneaky way to cut down on their affiliate commissions that could make sense.

(I used to work at Google, on display ads, but none of the above is based on internal information).

For every letter typed a line is drawn. The length of the letter is determined by its position in the alphabet.

A bullet from his gun was found in the state trooper's abdomen, and I find it extremely hard to believe that Teran shot a state trooper after being shot multiple times, especially given cops' tendencies to shoot until a target stops moving.
Title: ‘Assassinated in cold blood’: activist killed protesting Georgia’s ‘Cop City’

Reality: Activist was "protesting" (ie. camping out) at the future site of a police training facility, cops arrived to kick them out, and there was a shoot-out that resulted in the activist being shot dead and a cop being injured.

I'm not sure how the title got past the editors, considering how misleading it is. It's technically true that the "assassinated in cold blood" part was a quote, but presenting it at face value, when there's little evidence of wrongdoing by the cops is wholly irresponsible for a seemingly reputable publication like the guardian. A much better headline would be "activist killed in shootout with police", or even "‘Assassinated in cold blood’, Mother claims: activist killed protesting Georgia’s ‘Cop City’"

Also, I noticed the article was also exceedingly skeptical about the state's version of events:

>Officials say Manuel shot first at a state trooper “without warning” and an officer or officers returned fire, but they have produced no evidence for the claim. The trooper was described as stable and in hospital Thursday.

but the press release have since provided additional details to support the state's version of events

>Forensic ballistic analysis has confirmed that the projectile recovered from the trooper’s wound matches Teran’s handgun.

But I'll let that slide given that the update came on January 20th, and the article was published early January 21th at 5am.
You'll notice that all of those people are pretty busy. Founders with a track record that currently have nothing to do have as a rule exited or failed horribly.
Have you used DALL-E? The bad CEO decisions impacted this product: you can only keep one of 4 generated images (hmm, there should exist a plugin to grab them), there is no way to disable the waterwark with paid credits (screenshot everything!), the prompt bar is right over your work area (this is UX but when CEOs don't eat their dogfood...), and there are many useful art features they could build around DALL-E, but they don't get it, it's a cool demo with a price tag.

The GTX 1080 has GDDR5X, which has ECC. I was able to dial in my memory OC on that card by increasing the clock then running memory throughput benchmarks until the throughput was maxed out. At the point where errors start the theroughput would decrease, but nothing would fail.

Assuming stationary processes this is pretty nice. Maybe bump back 5% for margin.
Reminds me of the fun fact that on Linux env vars are not really key-value, but just a list of strings; it's just a convention by libc to parse them as key-value by splitting on =. If you don't care about compatibility you could hypothetically use any format you want for env

A bullet doesn't guarantee your chronology. The article's factual basis is correct: the police claim he fired first, and an officer was shot, but we lack the bodycam footage to actually verify the chronology.

I think Zuckerberg is right about the metaverse. Unfortunately (fortunately?) Meta likely won't be where the metaverse develops, unless they can purchase it.

I still use and like Instagram, so they appear to be capable of keeping them alive. But the established industry players, including the Zuck subsidized ones, largely don't seem positioned to "get" VR/AR. I don't know what it is, but I know it's not what they have so far.

Outside of fitness apps the Qwest world is still just a fancy store interface. I use it because it's still among the best, but it certainly doesn't give me the feel of it becoming a "verse" of any sort. I really want it to be, but the folks working at Meta largely don't seem to be the sort of creative non-conformists it'll take to crack that nut.

Violence is effective at getting immediate compliance. It is not effective at producing well adjusted people with a healthy attitude to violence, nor is it effective at producing lasting compliance.

That you seek to compare abuse with saving a child from being hit by a vehicle is a astonishing. We recognises the necessity of physical contact that would sometimes be unlawful when that contact is necessary all the time, irrespective of age.

This attempt at acting as if this has anything to do with children's age or development in order to allow it to be used to justify abuse of children that'd be a crime when carried out against adults fails in that basis: we know how to recognise the difference.

Yet somehow we are told to accept violence against children we're not ourselves willing to be subjected to.

Yes, I do: parental corporal punishment is, unfortunately, most common in the families with with the worst outcomes. Asian American parents are among those least likely to employ corporal punishment. That's unsurprising to me; I have a generally favorable opinion of the parenting culture you're alluding to (even though I wouldn't have considered it for my own kids), and corporal punishment is (what's the right word?) stupid.

As my sibling commenter notes, we have a neat little case study here, too: we allow corporal punishment in public schools in a minority of states. Overlay outcomes by school district; how's it working out?
