Gender Queer isn’t a children’s book. It’s a book for older teens, and I think it’s quite appropriate in like a highschool setting for example. Go Ask Alice has worse than that(rape and prostitution and addiction), was published decades ago, and is considered a classic staple of American literature for teens.

> how we ended up with PDF as sort of standard to archive data.

I don’t think we really did. They are a standard for archiving typeset page-based documents.

Of course, paper documents used to be standard for archiving data, and some continue to do so in the form of PDF.

In principle, it is possible to integrate all the structure you want in a PDF (using Marked Content, Structure Attributes and User Properties), but for data (as opposed to document structure) you’d need custom software to generate and interpret that.

It seems so many of these debates have strayed away from some VERY core ideas.

Learning is good, knowledge is good. Giving people the ability everywhere to learn at their own pace is important. More important that paying authors. I'm not saying MUCH MORE, it is very good to compensate (actual) creators.

Now, people can get just about as much knowledge as they want for a very cheap price, and the barriers to that are so utterly artificial. An E-book reader can contain just about as much knowledge as one might ever need.

Priority ONE, enable learning. All other priorities fall WELL below that, law be darned.
As you said, it was the worst response from them.

But I remember it was due to something odd, but forgot what. But the point is, they sold you the book. So if they were scammed they should eat the cost, not delete it from your device.

Cryptocurrency scammer again. I assume they would be the richest and the most motivated scammers nowadays.
This almost happened before when Trump issued an executive order for Bytedance to divest TikTok. Most of the media outlets reported that Bytedance was actively courting U.S. corporations to buy Tiktok. I'm sure there was a lot more going on behind the scenes but I don't think the automatic reaction would be to shutter TikTok.
How can I find places that have these interesting problems to solve? And then, how does one go about "trying" to solve them? Sometimes I can look into what someone is doing and propose (or implement) a performance optimization, but it's never a sure thing without really digging in. It's the kind of thing I enjoy but I'm not sure how to market myself or whom to approach.

On a related note, a LOT of software suffers from suboptimal performance but it's not usually so bad that it obviously impacts the electric bill.

If libraries didn't exist today or were removed even for an instant can you imagine someone arguing for their creation?

"I want to make a public space where people can go and take home media. All for free. Paid for by the government."

They would be laughed out of the room.

Libraries are the last remnant of a past society where people's needs were considered more important than corporate needs.

How is it low quality?
From what I understand, it even covers campaign contributions.
Well the low-level implementations differ from cpu-to-cpu. Even between Itanium releases the width changes. They don't want to get bound to a single implementation as techniques improve and new approaches are found. Otherwise, each time they discover something new they'd have to release a new ISA and backwards compatibility was the most commercially influential aspect of a chip. Now, it used to be that super-computer were made with custom chips, with custom ISAs, but the advantage of mass consumer parts is too high. So in general the decoupling of implementation and programming language allows for enough wiggle room to allow independent evolution without being rigidly coupled.
Let's do this but unironically
That business-centric and artificial way of "shedding skin" is sometimes the case. In my experience the move to a new software piece just to get a reason to drop previous licenses - e.g. "BigApp 2" - is thankfully still not the common rule.
This has been my experience with kubernetes as well.

Since we're at it:

what are criticisms to transsexual maximalism that are not rooted in transphobia?

There are several criticisms of transsexual maximalism that are not rooted in transphobia. Here are a few examples:

Alienating allies: One critique of transsexual maximalism is that it can be overly confrontational and alienate potential allies. By using tactics that are perceived as extreme or disruptive, some argue that the movement risks turning off people who might otherwise be supportive. This can make it harder to build coalitions and achieve the desired goals.

Ignoring intersectionality: Another criticism of transsexual maximalism is that it sometimes fails to take into account the ways in which gender intersects with other forms of oppression, such as racism, classism, or ableism. By focusing solely on trans issues, the movement may inadvertently exclude or marginalize other groups that are also affected by discrimination and violence.

Neglecting practical considerations: Some critics argue that transsexual maximalism can be unrealistic or impractical in its demands. For example, calling for the immediate abolition of gendered restrooms or the complete overhaul of healthcare systems may not be feasible in the short term, and could distract from more achievable goals.

Disrupting dialogue: Finally, some people argue that transsexual maximalism can be counterproductive in its effect on public discourse. By using tactics that are perceived as aggressive or confrontational, the movement may make it harder to have constructive conversations about transgender issues. This can lead to further polarization and a lack of progress.

It's important to note that not everyone agrees with these criticisms, and there is ongoing debate within the transgender community about the most effective strategies for achieving social and legal recognition. However, it is possible to critique transsexual maximalism without resorting to transphobia or other forms of discrimination.
Fact. But you left out the part where it turns out they've been right about their exposes.

Its like with Private Equity. A part of me hates the concept and much of what's out there, but when done correctly it brings efficiency to the market.

Basically, short-sellers, PE, etc. are all just more ways of monetizing investigative journalism. They're like a 'virus' for capitalism, forcing good behavior and punishing the bad.

Yes, I’m sure the CCP is going to adhere to US privacy laws.
This brings back memories from Obama's first campaign. My parents joked that with the kind of influence the US has over us, every country should have a say in who leads them!

"Global Voting" is a poor solution to that problem, but more importantly, it is redundant. The Internet ensures that people in other countries can exert some influence over US voters. Even more importantly, migrant communities can exercise some amount of influence depending on their overall relationship with their home countries.

It's still a fun idea to think about.
You reported this to the SEC, right?
I use a USB C hub with my KVM for my laptop. The hub takes the KVM USB A cable and the DP cable. One cable connects the laptop and I can switch PCs with a touch of a single button. I don't like switching inputs on my monitor manually through the OSD. You can get KVMs that do 3 or 4 computers with multiple monitors, although granted they do cost more. Again, pros and cons! I find it pretty slick though.

There is only one case where you should be fetching inside of useEffect, and that is with an empty dependency array to get data on first render. Pretty simple and easy to wrap your head around.

Everything else is triggered by event handlers. I work on a 70Loc react app and useEffect is used maybe once outside of this context. You really don't need it.

And I don't know what you mean by "listening to browser events" with useEffect. You really just need to use onClick and onChange.

You also don't need it to set state, you need calculated constant assignments.

I was born outside the US and we had local gangsters that would walk up to you in the middle of the street and try to “sell” you a brick. Like a brick that you build a house or wall with. They would show it to you, and tell you that it was a great brick and that you should buy it. If you told them you didn’t want the brick, they would assure you that yes you most certainly do want the brick. You then bought the brick from them. You can probably image what the brick was used for if you refused to purchase it.

I'm not familiar with this situation, but I'm assuming that whoever is doing this isn't there to "clean" your windshield, and that the entire "transaction" is imbued with the implicit threat of violence and intimidation. You're essentially being robbed through other means. If this isn't the case, then I'm happy to admit that I'm wrong, but that's how it reads to me.
My experience at the lemonade stand have been similar.
Your first link, straight from the introduction:
"Our study was not designed to evaluate the overall harm-benefit of vaccination programs so far. To put our safety results in context, we conducted a simple comparison of harms with benefits to illustrate the need for formal harm-benefit analyses of the vaccines that are stratified according to risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes. Our analysis is restricted to the randomized trial data, and does not consider data on post-authorization vaccination program impact. It does however show the need for public release of participant level trial datasets."

If it wasn't designed to evaluate the harm benefit of vaccination, why are you portraying it as such?
Looks like it's an easy way to make money, SEC won't do nothing of course.

The allegations in this report add up to wilfulness. That could result in the company’s money transmission licenses being revoked.
I once took a cab in the middle of the night. The cabby was a elderly gentleman who did not seem to know his way around very well. It was a long ride so we got talking. Turned out he was the new boss of the company (a fairly big company, lots of cars) who wanted to get to know the circumstances under which his drivers worked. He had been working the night shift for a couple of weeks.

So you’re validating what Hindenburg research is saying correct?

>> When the problem is defined as too many carbon emissions, the solutions will be optimized to reduce emissions. When the problem is defined as too little education and bodily autonomy, solutions such as schooling and birth control make intuitive sense.

It's a generalisation, and largely true unless you actually grant Accenture and co. 'elite' status.
I'm still trying to figure out if I'm alone here but I feel like it's much harder to find a developer job currently (well, unless you work on AI... Perhaps it's time to bank my Stanford ML class certificate?) because GPT4 could potentially make everyone's existing employees twice as productive at the same cost, and (especially considering the extreme Fed rate hike in 1 year) who's going to take the risk of hiring someone new in this economic climate? The sheer number of new variables being thrown into the mix out there right now is complete chaos to any sort of prediction model
Just the one? I have no idea how this is described mathematically, but just looking at the image in the article, the shape spans three hexagons, comprising 2/6 sectors of two of them and 4/6 of the third. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but it seems like it 'ought' to scale to larger (or at least some larger) polygons, or number of them spanned, even excluding trivial multiples (or 6/6 covered ones inserted in the middle) that are effectively the same shape.
these are just photos embedded in a PDF, which actually isn't that bad an idea, because it lets you scan multiple pages and join them together as a 'document'

I think you are confusing the notion of a work being copyrighted and the notion of someone complaining about any infringements on their copy righted works in a court. The first is indeed more or less automatic. You can't actually opt out of copyright. It applies to any work that is created. With very few exceptions. Hence copy left licenses, which try to undo some of the restrictions that copyright impose. Likewise the notion of putting something in the public domain is a bit tricky under international law. It's not clear what that means everywhere. An explicit license is better.

The second bit (enforcement) can be done by the copyright holders. Or, as is common in e.g. the EU by organizations like GEMA that actively charge third parties money for playing music in public. That's a weird one IMHO. The money does not actually go to the rights owner but to big owners of music rights and other members of GEMA. So they benefit from other people's work through some weird legal construction that gives them the monopoly on exploitation rights for that sort of thing. But basically, unless somebody goes to court nothing happens. That's not automatic.

Trademarks are a completely different can of worms.
In the UK I did some work with HMV doing Dev work on their stock systems.

Similar situation where they would send everyone in the company to work in the store, so you would actually use the system you've developed in the real world and understand why everyone always hates the software.
Surely attractiveness is a function of both the person being evaluated and the person doing the evaluation?

That is, a person's visual appearance has N aspects, and each person evaluates those N aspects differently. Attractiveness is then a kind of dot product between the two.

Seen this way, a person which is universally attractive is one with aspects u that is the solution to Au = 1, where A is a matrix of valuation vectors (one row per person), and 1 is a vector of ones.

Obviously very simplified but...
You, and any other non-Golang programmer, could visit the golang.org site, download the latest release, untar it, write a hello-world service, and run "go build". It will take about that many steps and about 5 minutes, and you'll have your single-file binary ready for deployment.

Can you compare doing the same thing with Java? How many more steps does it take, assuming that you don't already have a standard Java dev setup that's configured and ready-to-go on your machine? Now, let's let you put your thumb on the scale and assume that you do already the standard setup, but you want to pursue what this posts lays out and that you insist can be done with Java. How much more effort does it take just to go from "typical Java setup" to "setup that actually lets you do what this article describes"? If the answer is not zero but your position is still that there's nothing special here because "You can do all this with Java nowadays", then it's because you're not understanding what "here" and "this" actually are.
