A mob didn’t show up at her house. My understanding is that students were using their free speech in criticizing her speech while her right to speak was supported by her employer. I don’t see the issue here. The article doesn’t describe credible threats to her person; it’s not like someone put a bomb threat on her classes or something. It just looked like there was some outrage, maybe a protest, or a petition online, which I’m sure is hard to deal with but I don’t agree that it’s accurate to call it being run out of anything.
But how do the pacers keep pace?
My advice to women on such sites is to just ignore the flood of messages (would be nice if you could auto-delete any message from someone you haven't messaged before), and instead just look for interesting messages and only talk to men where you've taken the first step. Only men with an interesting profile.

Spending any attention at all on that endless flood on low-effort messages would mean you're never going to find time to actually find and date someone.
They are speaking loudly about the issue, because their speech is being infringed. The law in Florida currently says that you're not allowed to talk to school children about sexuality in an inappropriate way, without specifying what this exactly means. I have not seen any conservatives deny that this is specifically set up to still allow talk about heterosexuality (e.g. a male teacher talking about how he went hiking with his wife) while disallowing any mention of homosexuality (e.g. a male teacher talking about how he went hiking with his husband).

The only defense I can see would be the same which was used to deny gay marriage - "we're not infringing on their rights, they can still marry straight people of the opposite sex!" - which I'm sure we can all agree is not in any way a good defense.
I used FAANG as a shorthand for "big international tech companies that pay a lot". Glad to hear though that there are lots opportunites for tech folk in Russia to make good money.
What does "it worked" mean? Does it mean she has now finished "dating" because she found "the one"? Does it mean she now has more and/or better sex? Or maybe she has been able to extract more value (time/money) from men? Or is simply receiving "high quality" messages the goal?

Any dating advice seems utterly useless unless the goal is actually defined.

A lot of people on online dating platforms seem to be "lifestyle daters". It's very similar to lifestyle dieters: people who are eternally "on a diet" but never lose weight or become happy with their bodies. There's nothing wrong with it, but I think for most people online dating is a means to an end and not something they want to keep doing for its own sake.

Hetzner Ubuntu Server, a good firewall configuration and automated backups. I can't think of anything easier. I tried a lot of stuff, but this just works. For internal applications I basically block all traffic outside of our office network, activate auto updates for the OS and just stick to one version of the app for as long as I can.

Edit: and only one app per server. Also only the Hetzner Cloud offering with managed backups and managed firewall.

Depends on the virus - something with the long incubating periods and frequent lack of symptoms like Covid yes, but something much more quick and deadly (say, Ebola, even though 2-21 days is still potentially slow) could result in quick mass deaths without the opportunity to spread it around.
Here's an example. The Duluth Pack (https://www.duluthpack.com/products/2-original-59l) includes a tumpline. The pack was designed over a century ago, for wilderness canoeing. Here's an picture of someone using it with a tumpline: https://archive.org/details/beyondpaddlecano0000cono/page/66... .

This fits your description because it's used when portaging. The goal is to get to the next navigable stretch of water, not take in the view, while carrying 100+ pounds of gear in the bag and a canoe over one's head.

In canoeing they are used for relatively short stretches. The various sources say it's not that comfortable. I found a backpacking guide from 1971 which explains the issue:

"If you can stand the abuse, a tumpline surpasses all devices for toting heavy, bulky, or awkward loads. A 100-pound burden is routine among the few who understand the tumpline. During its heyday, 200-pound loads were commonplace among voyageurs in the fur trade ... The packer must lean forward abnormally. It is not a rig for amateur packers or for occasional weekend trips. In fact, the tumpline must be approached with respect. It will handle tremendous loads but only after your neck muscles have been developed. No packing device depends more upon sheer bull strength, but it does the job." - https://archive.org/details/backcountrycampi00rivi/page/16/m...

I expect that if you're part of a culture where people need to to carry heavy loads often, then you'll start young and build up the neck muscles which will make it more comfortable.

Someone going backpacking a few weeks every year is not going to have the same specific training.
Fwiw I actually do prefer polars for standard long format relational operations. But sometimes it’s just more convenient to work with data in other ways. Another example:

Polars:

polars_df.with_column(
pl.when(pl.col('timestamp').is_between(
datetime('2023-03-01'),
datetime('2023-03-31'),
include_bounds=True
)).then(pl.col('val') * 1.1)
.otherwise(pl.col('val'))
.alias('val')
)

Pandas:

pandas_df.loc['2023-03'] *= 1.1

Another option no one has menitoned is AMP. Many sites that try to use "paywalls" have AMP URLs which point to pages that have all the full text of the article in <p> tags. These AMP sites generally look great in a text-only browser that does not run Javascript. Popular example is WSJ. In the URL, add /amp before /article/.

Paywalls are insidious because they target non-subscribers. Why let non-subscribers view articles. Why not password protect all subscriber content. Paywalls are a way to make money from (the attention of) non-subscribers, targeting them with ads and tracking. The strategy is apparently to annoy people to the point of subscribing. Yet even if they subscribe they will still be subjected to advertising. One potential advantage is that a paying subscriber has an enforceable contract. In theory the contract could contain enforceable privacy protections. "Tech" companies would never agree to give people enforceable privacy protections; it would destroy their "business".

The way to save journalism, especially local news, is to regulate "Big Tech" middlemen, who generally do not employ journalists and produce zero content.1 The quality of journalism in general has taken a nosedive, but placing the blame for that on web users not purchasing subscriptions is conveniently ignoring the true culprit.

1. Arguably that's a prerequisite to maintaining their Section 230 protection. In the recent Supreme Court oral arguments, Google's counsel argued Google is not a publisher. Then minutes later she argued Google has to make design decisions "like any publisher", therefore Google gets a free pass to reorganise information in annoying and perhaps harmful ways to maximise ad services revenue, like inserting "popular" videos into YouTube search results that have nothing to do with the query string.
This is just commerce. They want to continue to sell the books.

It's made clear from the context that "good" is "a good match". There's nothing wrong with most of those other men, but they're not going to be people that she will want to spend the rest of her life with.

We've seen various workplaces unionise (Some Starbucks stores, Amazon in some warehouses etc). What have they achieved so far? I ask because the core things that would attract me to a union (higher pay, perks, better conditions etc) and the kind of things the unions were selling themselves on (more diverse workforces, ethical statements by corporations) had very little overlap...

To be clear: I think people have a right to unionise and to push for what they want. I am just interested in what they want and how effective the process is at getting it...

Edit: It seems like there has been no actual progress yet:

> Workers won breakthrough union victories at Starbucks in December 2021, and the next year saw several other organizing victories. REI workers had a successful union vote in March 2022, Amazon in April, Apple in June, Trader Joe’s in July and Chipotle in August, but none of those companies have reached a first contract.

This is sort of what I thought would happen: people thought a union meant they'd get what they wanted. But unions can only get you what they have the power to force employers to give up. And when you only unionise one store that is basically nothing...

I doubt he does, the little I've listened to him, he sounded like a christian, that shoves old beliefs of what women should be and men should behave.

Not all women want to have kids, some of them, want to be very powerful and drive big changes. Not a psychologist here, but a lot of men seem to have the expectation that their wife are like their mothers, submissive, taking care of the house and kids.

And because of that, they struggle to understand the change in power dynamics and how to be a great partner despite of this.

Real conversations with real strangers are tit for tat. Going overboard coming up with a bunch of catchy bs is not helpful in finding real people. The one thing that got me from almost no dates to dates all the time was just going places myself first instead of just asking girls. So instead of asking girls on a hike I’d tell them, hey I’m going on a hike want to go? And if they said no, i asked other girls and if they all said no, i went alone. The next time i had more girls wanting to hang out than i could. But the step before that was to change my mentality from one of trying to get laid to one of empathy. If i had as many options as those girls do, i would flake out too… there would be a lot of girls i want to go out with who seem cool but I’d have to prioritize them. And with limited information, that prioritization is never going to be perfect and it would make me sad to constantly have to hurt girls who are perfectly nice. But i would also have to develop a thick skin about it. Kind of like homeless people asking for money. So i started being way more understanding about them being flakey. I also realized women are skiddish. They never know what they’re going to get. So I’d try to be as wysiwyg as possible. I stopped trying to have sex on the first date, it’s too hard to get to know people, too complicated. And the people going around intensely doing hookup culture are just a subset of bratty rich kids who aren’t interested in finding or being good partners. I started trying to form genuine connections. That got me some nice convos but still didn’t work to get me dates until I did the first thing. Then i has more dates than i could handle. None of it was out of my comfort zone. None of it involved a lot of effort. It was ultimately literally just empathy.

Echo this, and I _did_ notice it in my first two weeks.

3 separate issues prevented me deploying. One was my fault, but hard to diagnose because error messages contain no useful information.

The other two were the platform falling over, with the support forum having no resolution but plenty of other people in the same boat.

I don't see any similarity between gotos and signals at all. Gotos are just explicit jumps, while the "normal" structured way of doing jumps is to have them inferred from nested regions (that double as scopes and lifetime guards for automatic variables).

The structuredness of such inferred jumps usually is both sufficient and convenient, but sometimes being extremely structured leads to boilerplate and inefficiencies. That shows already with early returns from nested scopes, which aren't widely frowned upon, while they are very similar to common usage of goto. I would say I haven't encountered a goto that isn't basically an early return from some nested scope to after some parent or grand-parent scope.

In that sense, a goto can save from having to extract a nested scope as a stand-alone function just to write it as an early return. I would say that many gotos in the wild could be rewritten as early returns after making a standalone function, but maybe sometimes this is too much of a hassle, or, subjectively, puts a toll on readability.
can confirm, went from being a 5/10 guy to a 5/10 trans woman, attitude changes real fast when you go from 0 matches to too many matches (and loads of guys aren't even interested in trans women!)

The disparity also makes tinder basically useless since it's clear that many guys are just swiping right on everyone, sure in their head they do believe they'll take what they can get, but if they're not doing any filtering then the fundamental contract of the swipe system is broken, that both of you are actively and on consideration interested in one another.

Hard to tell from the article how widespread the issue is. They've been making the SE in India for 5 years so presumably some learning has happened. Is the issue on the new model? This run of parts?
> I don't know if it's true

> that does not seem unreasonable.

My point is that what seems reasonable to someone that doesn't know anything about the subject means nothing, and could even end up being somewhat offensive.

Try to reverse the logic and realize how absurd it would look to you: say a guy in middle east wanted to roughly estimate the number of Latin speakers and made the assumption that it should roughly be the same as Catholics.

Wikipedia says there's ~2 billion muslims, and 400 millions Arabic-dialect speakers (native and non native). So on average 20% of muslims are able to understand basic arabic, I expect that not even half of those would be able to read and understand classical Arabic such as written in Quran.
Fly.io is so good, i really like it. Started using it to host my backends for hobby project while all my FE are at vercel. The free version keeps my project running and it is very generous as well!

Scaling out isn't just about performance. It's also about high availability.

Which is something everyone needs to consider when using cloud infrastructure.

AWS provides 99.5% EC2 uptime guarentees which is ~2 days a year of outages.

That is not simply acceptable for most use cases and is why a single server just won't cut it.
> dates with 120 men and rejected every single one

Is this very surprising? More and more women are choosing not to date men at all because of the low quality of partnership. Men really don't try very hard in terms of supporting the women around them, from my experience.
Doesn't matter.

Economy of scale will give china cheaper and saver energy on a scale and speed which will put them further.

Cheap energy means: Cheaper products, cheaper iron ore, cheaper everything.

It means cheap energy storage, which also implies cheap EVs.

It also will mean (if the coal thing is true) in the longer term cleaner air (when it overtakes coal), higher life expectensy and higher productivty.

While in parallel we in europe have had big issues with russia and energy dependency.
Some of it is to do with your so-called "protocol churn" but also the fact that a phone from the 1890's is order of magnitude less complex than a modern smartphone. It's really a ridiculous argument.

Many of the required updates to a device are security related, perhaps they could write said software better so that there are never bugs...but software is complicated now; millions & millions of lines or code and dozens and dozens of different chips. It's better to make phones much more recyclable than it is to make them last longer.

> Middle-aged men choose to transition to become transwomen, and they all went through puberty. Some even fathered kids.

> So there's no reason for trans-identifying teenagers to have their own puberties blocked [...]

If this is really your whole thought process, I'd implore you to read up on why transitioning is beneficial for transgender youth. Do you know what would happen if we were to implement your idea? We'd have a lot more suicides in transgender youth, because going through the "wrong" puberty is hard, and leaves a lot of mental anguish. Instead of relying on simple thought patterns, could we please do actual research into these complicated topics and try to find what works best for those afflicted, not what feels right to us in the moment? Thank you.
Drug addiction is an illness, but it's not like you randomly get the drug-addiction-virus because you didn't wash your hands after touching something in the super market. Drug addiction usually follows drug abuse, and drug abuse often has a reason. That reason is what leads to drug addiction, in other words: drug addiction is a symptom. You can get people into rehab, but unless the reason for their drug abuse is fixed, they'll have a hard time getting & staying clean.

If someone limps because their leg is broken, you'll try to fix their leg, not teach them to walk differently so the limp isn't as visible.
What about other rights that are in direct contradiction with freedom of speech?

Take, for example, privacy. In a free speech absolutist world, nobody can ever have privacy, for anything one says in confidence can be repeated for all to hear. Or I could completely doxx you, and you'd have no recourse.

Free speech absolutism is complete garbage
That would be insane, yes. It isn’t the case, though. I signed up with my own domain just fine.

It takes zero effort to maintain - not to walk around with! I end up a sweaty wreck after moving a trunk, but the load is basically all on the legs and spine, straight down the column. What I mean by “maintain” is that you expend no bodily energy on the actual grip, and it’s secure enough that it doesn’t move around on you and make life hard when you’re moving over uneven terrain. I honestly didn’t realise how heavy what some of what I was moving was until I started stacking it to dry, as with the method I describe you never actually have to lift the mass - just carry it.
