It still isn't defined by the presence of absence of the Y chromosome. Some animals have sex defined by incubation temperature; there are animal species with inbuilt hermaphroditism and dioecious plants; male birds are WW, female birds are WZ. Biologically sex is defined by gamete size. It's a construct used to link together behaviours in many different species that are derived from a variety of mechanisms.

My understanding is that in humans that meiosis (production of gamete) begins in females whilst they're embryos whereas in males it only begins at the onset of sexual maturity. I would be interested to know if this is the same in other species because my working theory is that male meiosis is the fuel of evolution because there are more mutations in the male germ line cells. The female gametes having differentiated earlier and undergoing fewer replications provide a working original template as opposed to the male gamete's likelier deleterious replications. One small set of large well provisioned gametes likely to work, many large sets of likely mutated gametes hopefully with some useful mutations amongst the bad ones which can be rooted out by selection.

The fundamental existence of sex is interesting and its implementation is pretty complex. 99.9% of references to it in the "trans debate" are reductionist misrepresentations. Either of mystifying complexity making its existence meaningless or as if an authoritative revelation from an omniscient, omnipotent being.

And it now infects every discussion that we have about sex in humans. It's made sex, one of the most fundamentally interesting (and considering the success of its possessors) facets of life on Earth, torturous to discuss because it has become about the limits of society's ability to limit freedom of conscience, individuals rights to identify, and the right of the individual to self identify. It's narrow, myopic, fundamentally boring in the context of biology.

What isn't true? Nothing you said, even if it was true (it's not) contradicts anything in the grandparent post.

> CAFE was amended in the late 2000s to provide more fuel restrictions for smaller cars while keeping the same fuel restrictions for bigger cars.

No, it wasn’t. The footprint model within the passenger car class did differentiate by size, but it didn’t provide more restrictions for smaller cars while keeping larger cars the same.
That's socialism

Ad blockers are rules for thee, but not for me.

As software engineers many of us play a part in creating a world that we wouldn't want to live in and then exempt ourselves from it with ad blockers leaving the ignorant or less technically inclined to fend for themselves.

It unethical to use ad blockers.

I could not imagine using the internet without an ad blocker and despite trying to live an ethical life, that's one thing I can't go without. If for no other reason, raw dogging the internet without an ad blocker is a real and legitimate security risk.

I consider it part of professional ethics not to work for ad based companies, and I have started to pay services, like wikipedia in particular, so they don't have to be supported with ads.

While Byzantium was still somewhat Roman it was also something distinct. For one thing the official language right up until the Fall of Constantinpole was Byzantine Greek not Latin.

so it may be true that the Goths in Italy were Romanized (as had repeatedly happened with conquerors, interestingly), the empire that remains after the Fall of Rome was, in total, different in character, culture, language and territory.

> The airlines stopped pumping exhaust into passenger compartments for a few years

This is way off the mark.

All airliners except for the Boeing 787 [0] pressurise the cabin with bleed air. This is not "exhaust"; it's pressurised air extracted upstream from the combustion stage. There are certain situations where the engine may ingest its own exhaust, or the exhaust of an aircraft in front, or there may be an internal leak in the bleed system. All of these are unintended contamination of the bleed air, not a normal mode of operation. In addition, the compressors ahead of the bleed valves must be lubricated and it is possible for this lubricant to get into the air stream if maintenance (including cleaning) is not carried out properly.

There was no period of time where airlines stopped pressurising the cabin with bleed air. It is the only source available on all airliners except the Boeing 787, and pressurisation is not optional.

[0] The Boeing 787 uses electric compressors to provide cabin air. This avoids some of the risks (leaks inside the engine, for example), but does nothing to avoid others (ingestion of exhaust from the same aircraft in certain wind conditions or from the aircraft in front when taxiing, or lubricants from the compressors getting into the air stream). The compressors are located in the wing-to-body fairing so the possibility to ingest external contaminants is quite similar to in traditional bleed air systems. The most noticeable difference on the Boeing 787 is the higher cabin pressure (lower cabin altitude) and higher humidity, both of which are made possible by structural improvements including the use of composites. Similar improvements (lower cabin altitude and higher humidity) are also present on e.g. the Airbus A350 and A380, which nonetheless — like all other airliners except the 787 — use traditional bleed air for pressurisation.

no, a makefile with a docker build task acts as a reference for how to build the image. that’s my point.

_any_ repo has clues about the toolchain encoded in the file types and extensions, but that’s not the same thing.

and yes, npm or yarn can define scripts which can have the same documentation benefits. but there’s lots of others too that are specifically for tasks. i really like https://taskfile.dev.

these files can communicate how to work in a project.

I was born and raised just north of Seattle and, while I know you're in the Portland metro area (as am I now, near that Fred's), I'd recommend looking up something called the "Seattle freeze", which sounds like what you're referring to.

I had a very interesting experience in 2010, when I moved to Atlanta for a few years, kind of the opposite of what you're experiencing. Being from the PNW, the sort of attitude you described was ingrained in me, and I hated the forced outward politeness of "Southern hospitality". It was such a shock; I could never get used to it and quickly realized that it was a bullshit veneer that people put on in spite of whatever mood they might be feeling. That's not to say that, perhaps to your point, there's not a happy medium to be found, but I digress.

I bring that up because in the first apartment complex I moved to in Atlanta, there was an older gentleman a few units down who had an Oregon license plate and looked stereotypically Oregonian. The highlight of my days would be my interactions with him as we passed by in the common area - they literally were only ever a quick head nod to one another with nary a word said between us. Never knew his name, never held a conversation, maybe only uttered the word, "Hi," once, but for someone who preferred those kinds of interactions and couldn't get used to that aspect of Southern culture I really, really cherished those moments.

But that's just me. :)

Tesla’s radar adventure started with the poor temporal resolution front facing Continental radar. It’s the cause of sudden vehicle braking when there is signal that there might be an obstruction ahead, when in actuality it was a large metal road sign overhead or a bridge.

This contributed to their move to Tesla Vision, using vision alone for driving assistance systems. But they hedged with a high resolution phased array radar, “Phoenix”, which this is. It is a compromise that vision is “enough” to meet regulatory scrutiny, but this radar will be superior than vision alone (due to inherent nature of radar rf).
"There is a chance Google won't launch this product. But if it does, like many other half-baked ideas from the company, we expect it will join Google's ever-expanding graveyard soon after launch."

Like Stadia, developers and gamers will be reluctant to invest in the ecosystem because Google cannot be bothered to maintain anything that does not make as much revenue as search and ads.
For what I have in mind at the moment, that probably would be fine, but I’d like an option with at least some actual security, just in case :)
I just tried 2 more of the suggested itineraries and they were both flat-out not-doable time-wise. The third suggested breakfast somewhere plus the Whale Sharks Tour in 5 hours total. Nevermind how far these might be from each other -- the tour itself takes 8 hours.

In other words -- that's 3 for 3, all total crap itineraries in real terms. Yeah, the individual items might be good for some people -- but that's what Lonely Planet and Rick Steve's are for.

Seriously, why bother to build this thing? "Because AI"?

I'm not asking this to be cynical, or to put down a passion project. I just seriously don't get what's supposed to be useful about this.

Unless they've never heard of an old-fashioned travel guide. Or they think, "ooh, an AI travel planner, I bet that must be really neat."
I didn't know that, and that's a great question! Apparently they count cars and multiply it by some # of passengers per car. The methodology was recently updated:https://smokymountainnews.com/archives/item/33883-counting-c...

Buses are one step, but not always enough. Zion for example has mandatory bussing but they still need to do permits for Angel's Landing (if I remember right) and lotteries for the Narrows, especially for the few backpacking campsites in there.

Actually, she did not specify the ethnicities of any specific person other than the Jews.

If you read the article, you'll notice "Italian" occurring once, but not in relation to a specific person...

However, in the opening paragraphs of the "SuperMob" they're sure to mention which specific individuals are Jewish:

Crown Prince of the “Super Mob”

Henry Krinsky was born in 1896 in the city of Chicago. His father, a Jewish immigrant from Lithuania, worked as a sweatshop foreman and changed the family name to Crown when Henry was a child. After dropping out of school in the 8th grade, Crown started a steel business with his older brother, Sol Crown, in 1915, creating S.R. Crown & Company. A few years later, in 1919, another brother, Irving Crown, joined the company, which became Material Service Corporation (MSC), a sand, gravel, lime and coal business that was prominent in Chicago’s construction industry.

Henry Crown developed an early relationship with Jake Arvey, a notorious political fixer for the Democrats in Chicago who, like Crown, was the son of poor Jewish immigrants. Arvey had deep ties to the Chicago mob, including the circles around notorious gangster Al Capone

Now, I know also that you're saying I'm being overly sensitive, but I'm trying to point out (when I was asked to disprove the article) that these are signals that I think the article is not to be trusted on face value.
I don't think you can assume someones internal views by use of word, especially such a term with a complex history that means different things to different people.

The way you present it seems to have more problems than the 'not care' use case.

In practice, considerable difficulty. Like you said LEO moves fast. You are talking 10 min in line of sight (LOS) depending on the orbit. So the handoff algorithms (and necessary network) are very challenging and cost prohibitive. I mention it in my earlier response but if you have a LEO network you need pretty substantial arrays to accommodate such a power load, and during “night” for whoever is using the network, you need transfer mechanisms to relay the data, using even more power during eclipse. This is a real challenge.

The example you give of Ron being King Arthur's descendant is an extremely irrelevant fact, and so I'd be inclined to say "okay, sure, I'll accept that this is true, but so what?" if it was pronounced. It'd be canon or close-to-canon, but it has no actual use to explain or predict within the story. (Unless she'd said it before the series was done, I guess, in which case it'd have caused a bunch of speculation about whether Arthurian myth elements would suddenly become important.)

This would create a situation where there's a canon / near-canon fact about a character... that's extremely unlikely to come up. So unlikely that I suspect that the only reason it might have impacted any fan works at all is that there's almost a million Harry Potter stories on fanfiction.net, so there's probably at least a handful that have used "sole living descendant of King Arthur" as a plot point.

This gets back to my take that "X is canon" and "in my fan work Y is what's true instead" are not positions that're in conflict with each other. We can accept that the canon story has a bunch of canon background information that informs how it happened, but that's no reason not to change it if you want to tell a different story. Some not-stated-in-text background details do turn out to be deeply rooted in character motivations / setting functionality, and so are harder to rip out than others.

Now, on to some rambling about how a story and a contract are different, and the conservation of detail in stories...

A story that spells out absolutely everything about why the world is the way it is and exactly why every character does everything is probably not very well written. The author should give you enough details in story that you're willing to believe that there must be a perfectly good explanation for things, even if you've been not told it for any specific event.

It's equally valid, of course, for the author to have elaborately planned out the history and structure of their world in advance, or to just make up non-contradictory new facts whenever they need to use them. Just so long as the right vibe is given.

I'm generalizing a bit here, because exactly how true this is can be a matter of taste. I personally enjoy the sort of sci-fi/fantasy book that drops you in with weird words that you have to figure out from context and protagonists who won't consciously-explain anything that they already think of as "normal", so I'm clearly biased in one direction. (To give a popular recent example that doesn't go too hard on being weird, it takes a fair while in Brandon Sanderson's Way of Kings before you realize what the fuck is going on with "grass" and "hounds".)
Let me tell you how little I care about someone's commercial real estate investment.

It is rapidly approaching 0.
Hello,johnnypangs. We planned on launching empty. When I started my first real estate company, unlike the typical method many new real estate companys use, which is to hoard and pocket inventory while they are still with their soon to be former company, so they can open with inventory, I began with zero inventory. Let's see what happens in the coming months. We have one now, soon to be two. lets see what it look like in six months. We believe we can be successful independent of the industry. As an insider and an operator very few consumers understand the financial risks associated with real estate. All service businesses are far risker than people realize. Doctors, lawyers, car mechanics, auto sales, and many others. the problem is asymmetry., where the seller knows a lot, and the customer knows litte.
