Yes, this represents a genuine shift in the way feminism approaches gender politics.

"Second wave feminism" (roughly, the 1960s through 80s) tried to improve equality by minimizing differences. It was understood that gender was a social construction, and so could be re-constructed. It was always seen that women could choose traditional social roles if they wished. But it was expected that most wouldn't.

But there were problems with that approach that didn't appear until later. Transgender people were being ignored. It's not that they didn't exist; as has been noted, some of the most prominent activists at Stonewall (a key event in gay American history) were trans women.

Trans women are women, and denying the importance of gender constructs undercuts the work they put into their true gender. In second-wave feminism, transgenderism could be seen as gender essentialism, that gender wasn't constructed. That risked marginalizing women who had fought not to be dismissed because of their anatomy.

The approach of modern feminism is more intersectional. It incorporates all kinds of different marginalized people. This is in contrast to the explicit white racism in first-wave feminism (the ones leading up to the right to vote) and the subtler racism in second-wave feminism (which focused more heavily on issues facing white women). That approach also incorporates gays and lesbians, disabled people, and lots of other ways in which people are harmed by the culture that people persist in solely because it's "traditional".

There are a few "trans-exclusive radical feminists" clinging to older approaches that don't admit trans women, but there are so few of those the the acronym "TERF" ends up being applied to almost any anti-trans woman.

Now gender is seen as a spectrum with many axes. It doesn't matter that some trans women want explicitly to identify with femininity, even as cis women are liberated from its strictures. A lot of people don't fit into either binary or anywhere along that axis, so there's less worry about reinforcing gender roles.

Sorry for the length of this post; I'm summarizing a ton of messy stuff (and, I'm afraid, not doing it entirely well). I was asking the same questions you are, not that long ago, and it took me a while to get past the assumptions that I learned as a second-wave feminist. This is my best understanding of it.

For a living, I influence high level corporate strategy in the games industry. I’ve consulted for all the biggest companies in the space, including all the tech giants’ various gaming-related groups.

Let me be abundantly clear: the decision is utter nonsense. I’m not going into the details here, but the decision is an abysmal abomination and should be very concerning to all technology businesses, both because it signals that a relevant regulatory body is willing to make arbitrary and horribly-justified decisions with major material impacts, and because a story is emerging about the international regulatory collusion that drove this. It ABSOLUTELY IS an undemocratic power grab from politically-driven regulators that abrogates their core duties in favor of empowering themselves and their own political factions.

Additionally, it’s extra embarrassing for the UK because it signals an overly cozy relationship with Sony (which has more operations / employees in country) that reeks of regulatory capture by a local lobby. That and a willingness to jump through hoops for an ambitiously activist US FTC. Unfortunately, the net result is the UK coming off as a complete joke. I’m strongly advising clients to avoid expanding operations in the country and to genuinely consider abandoning the market.

Take it or leave it, but I write this all as someone who had otherwise been strongly arguing AGAINST the deal, because I think it’s bad for the games industry. But this kind of sloppy and arbitrary behavior from regulators is even worse, for all gaming and tech businesses… and, to some degree, for all business in general.

Edit-
I can’t elaborate on my reasoning here, but the full picture is out there for anyone interested in looking into it. This is a long and thorough rundown of the situation that serves as a good starting point: https://naavik.co/digest/microsoft-activision-blizzard-timel...
Draw the line on number of parameters needed to produce the ordering. An A-Z or chronological ordering is based off 1 parameter whereas a recommendation algorithm uses dozens. A HN-style algorithm needs maybe 2-3 parameters. The regulator can make a value judgement that up to a certain number of parameters is just hosting a directory of third party content, whereas above that you’re promoting it and have to accept some liability for
the content.

For context then, some two-three weeks ago, I wanted to upgrade my wife's perfectly good Windows 7 to a Windows 10 (mostly because Chrome has been whining for the past half a year, but also because Spotify plain old denied to start playing music until we upgrade the OS). I went for the in-place upgrade path, which involves downloading a Win10 media creator tool from Microsoft. Links to various Windows 10-related information all redirect to Windows 11 landing pages now.

Additionally, I suspected I'll need a new product key. I couldn't get that from Microsoft - every link I've managed to Google also had a redirect to Windows 11.

(In the end, I purchased an electronic license from some local software shop. Then it turned out that somehow, Microsoft considers my wife's Win7 license still valid for Win10 Pro, which is nice. I used the key to upgrade another machine, which I thought was on Pro, but actually was on Home.)
I lived half of my life in Soviet Union and would say that this article is simplification with sources more from instate propaganda than from reality. The article basically describes russian upper middle class (yes, there were classes within soviet society) after WWII. Most of people couldn't even dream about Sochi. Soviet Union was huge and differences between regions, classes, nationalities etc were very much there. The life of intelligence in Moscow was very different from the life of intelligence in Baltic republics or the life of farmer in Central-Asia republics etc. Even in seventies it was common that people in many regions weren't even allowed to move from their hometown or village.
This is part of why I don't trust CPI data. Take Warren Buffett's house as another example from 1958: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/03/warren-buffett-lives-in-the-...

> The Berkshire Hathaway CEO still resides in the five-bedroom home in central Omaha, Nebraska, he purchased for $31,500 in 1958, which is about $329,505 in today’s dollars.

But the house clearly isn't worth only $329,505 in "today's dollars." Sure, it's more modest than a full-blown mansion, but it's still worth a lot more than that, closer to about a million dollars. And that's including if you were to try buying the house with zero knowledge or context that Warren Buffett once lived in it.

Of course, these things are all 'worth' what someone will actually pay for them, but unless we believe that that housing market is so screwed that Buffett's house would sell for ~$330k if the housing market crashed down to reality (which would actually imply potential deflation and a CPI that would result in the home being worth much lower, per "real" dollar figures), that house is never selling for less than $330k. Not even less than $660k, in my opinion. The only way these homes would come close to their price in CPI is if something catastrophic happened to the neighborhoods in which they exist.
These are the shockwaves of the Chinese economy slowing down. China has been a large source of new demand for years, particularly for resource extraction economies; zero-covid supply chain shocks were the first wave, China’s property shock was a second, and economics are not quite back to solid yet either. For decades it has been easy to invest in China; it is not really so easy or cheap to develop in other areas, because postwar East Asia really focused on efficient infrastructure rollout, and now private companies have to pick between countries with cheap labor and countries with good infrastructure.

> This treatment is controversial because it is considered bad practice to prescribe antibiotics liberally, for several good reasons. Mainstream medicine did not have a theoretical foundation to justify this treatment path.

This doesn't seem like prescribing antibiotics liberally to me? Having symptoms, test for bacterial infection, prescribe antibiotics seems reasonable to me with no medical training. I would consider liberal prescription to be something like prescribing antibiotics based on symptoms that align with viral infection, without doing any labs to determine the type of infection and hoping for the best.
It's not really about the frequency of light. We pretty much have "discovered" all frequencies -- it's the electromagnetic spectrum. We know all of the frequencies that exist. The trick is devising new methods with increasingly sensitive instrumentation.

This article talks about how researchers looked at measurements taken from space to gauge where the sea level was a mere few-centimeters higher than the surrounding area! Incredible! In theory, I could have seen someone like Arthur C. Clarke proposing this half a century ago - but with the precision in instrumentation only becoming available today, the idea could have been proposed long before the technology existed.

In the future, might we devise a method and accompanying instrumentation that will allow us to map the sea floor with just a regular flash light hung from a ship? Maybe (but probably not). Point being: It's the methodology + instrumentation, not the frequency of light itself.
A more charitable interpretation of the comment that you replied to is that the artifacts may be located near ancient gold mines, and after we've retrieved the artifacts during excavation then we could potentially continue to mine the valuable resources in the same location.
Relatedly, it's incredible how thick of a tome "modern" editions of Robert's Rules have become to elucidate every single edge case and complex trivia of nearly every state of the described finite state machine. As a programmer, I laud that kind of detail in the specifications of something I need to build, but meetings aren't run on computers, they run on a group of people, and if the finite state machine can't be easily visualized and shared by everyone in the meeting then it isn't doing its job properly.

The editions in the public domain are so much smaller and faster to read by comparison, though still suffer most of the problems the article points out. It gets the raw gist across without getting lost in trivia. (The 1915 edition is often the most commonly recommended. [1]) There are "bugs" fixed in later editions, but the answer is more often YAGNI (you aren't going to need it) and if you do, you are a) in deep, possibly with too many "rules lawyers" trying to D&D min/max your meetings, or b) the edition is public domain so DIY hack your own bug fix.

There is a certain satisfaction to only running meetings on public domain editions of Robert's Rules, including that it is free as in beer and speech to do so, and it can be worth throwing out some of the bathwater from "modern" editions (including in spite of if you think there's a baby in there in some of the "bug fixes").

I knew someone whose favorite "edition" was the Robert's Rules Simplified of 1937 that is also mentioned in the first paragraph of the article. I think it will be a big day for meeting governance once that is finally in the public domain as well.

(I think procedures manuals such as Robert's Rules are a strong case against how absurdly long copyright has become. Finite state machines for controlled meeting operation should be easy to hack and share. Everyone has meetings in their lives. Good shared FSMs make meetings run smoother. Access to the "source code" of those FSMs shouldn't be limited to a cabal of people buying expensive books and/or planning to use rules trivia to bludgeon meetings into shapes they enjoy or think they control.)

I don't understand how a simple plot of the prevalence of the STDs you're talking about doesn't instantly refute your argument. Whether or not the CDC has decided to highlight current STI rates as an "epidemic", the norms you're referring to are correlated with far, far higher rates of infection.

I read this as "type inference _in_ Scratch" and thought: that language for kids is getting pretty sophisticated!
I don't know why this was implemented in MySQL's implementation but here's an example scenario where the general capability where you have a logical foreign key but not necessarily uniqueness in the pyhsical target. Pardon the jargon:

In a reporting/ROLAP dimensional data model, you may have a slowly changing dimension where you have something a table design like:

customer_id (varchar(N)),
current_record_flag boolean,
record_effective_start_date,
record_effective_end_date,
attribute1,
attribute2, etc

and a sales transaction table:

customer_id -- non-unique FK
product_id
sale_date
sold_quantity
unit_price
total_sales_amount

The customer ID in the sales table really relates back to the customer ID in the customer dimension table but not to a single UNIQUE row in the customer dimension table... unless you are, as you always are, either querying on current_record_flag='Y' (for seeing current customer attribute values), or a specific date value that falls between record_effective_date and record_end_date (for seeing customer attribute values at the time of the sales transaction_date).

(And optimal query performance for these types of analytic use case often involves using a columnar storage engine rather than InnoDB.)
Also applies to Matlab.
Another unexpected driver could be the increasingly high comfort level in business and first class on long-haul flights with no domestic alternatives (yes, JetBlue mint and Delta one are nice, but are they widely available enough domestically?)

"Business class" on most domestic flights in US would be called "premium economy" on most long haul airlines. Yet it can easily cost more in cash than an actual business class seat on a long haul airline.

Domestic flights really should level up on their premium options. Convert all the non-lay-flat "business class" seats to just "premium economy" and start getting lay-flat business class seats between hubs multiple times a day. These seats will always be filled with actual executives or people with the points to upgrade to them. The fuel bill still gets paid, less private jets in the sky, and a move towards more competitive pricing on comfortable seats for the rest of us.

Very recent example of what this could look like: FlyDubai (a narrowbody discount middle eastern carrier) just announced a very nice looking lay-flat business class option: https://onemileatatime.com/news/flydubai-business-suite/

Major question: is something like this feasible with Opnsense as a router, or should I only try it with a Linux solution?

Minor related questions:
* How much does this complicate my firewalling?
* Do I deal with firewalling IPV6 only from the outside world?
* Or do I need to worry about RFC1918 addresses on my LAN "leaking" out to the IPv4 world via the IPv6 connection?
If you actually want a do it all solution, learning CAD/CAM and 3d printing is the way to go.

You can do a lot of stuff with CAD/CAM before even getting to the 3d printing stage.

As a counterpoint, some years ago I felt it was time to use "a real painting program" and switch to Photoshop. It felt so backwards, mostly in terms of interface, that I dropped the idea very fast. There are a few shortcuts that I change or find missing in Krita, but apart from that it felt like the painting experience was much more streamlined (which is my main concern, so I can't talk for other aspects).
Been dealing with it 3 years now, took the first 1.5 years to figure out what it was. So far took 2 rounds of rifaximin. The first round didn't do much, but the second round (with neomycin) got rid of my methane overgrowth. I still have a hydrogen overgrowth and waiting on insurance to improve another round of just rifaximin.

Do you have a methane or hydrogen overgrowth?
Heh, I built something similar for my partner and myself: https://wine.unobtanium.de/ It's not very sophisticated (as we're not sophisticated wine people), but we've sometimes found ourselves standing in front of the wine rack in the super market (as I said, not sophisticated) wondering which of those we already had tasted and how we liked it.

There's not that much in it because it was put on a bit of a break owing to a broken server a while ago, but it's back up again :)
What's happening now is an example of the system working, not broken. The comparisons are also made to 2008. Between that and the SnL crisis there are three important differences:

1. Unlike 2008, we don't have a whole host of risky borrowers and poor debt;

2. Rates are still historically low (as another commenter mentioned); and

3. The banks being taken over by the FDIC are solvent. That is, their assets exceed their depositor funds, even if they have to realize losses on long-term bonds by selling them.

It's worth noting that accounting rules allow banks to keep bonds off the books and nominally kept at face valuew with the intention of holding them to maturity.

We've had bank runs on banks that largely catered to a single vertical (eg SVB, Singularity) and were relatively small. This made them vulnerable. On top of that, you had poor risk management by holding long-term bonds instead of short-term bonds.

Management chases short-term yield and if 10 year bonds are offering 1.75% (a couple of years ago) but 3 month bonds are only offering 1.69%, many banks will hold the long-term bonds instead, even though they open themselves up to rising interest rate risk. They are paying the price for now and depositors aren't left holding the bag. So the system is working.
