This is fundamentally the only thing that bothers me about the entire post-modern left narrative. If the goal posts were “equality of opportunity” (as they historically have been) then I’d have no problem continuing to fight until opportunity is provably equal. But if you move the goal posts to “equality of outcome” (what people mean when they say “racial equity”) and say “look we’re still a racist society” I just can’t get behind that definition and framework.

The hard reality is that we have made a lot of progress and it’s almost impossible to argue that we’re missing equality of opportunity anymore. We’ve been legally equal for at least 3 generations. Yes, there are still some poor and intensely disparaged communities of predominately minority populations. I have no problems with people coming together to help those communities. But we can’t let racial equity seep into our legal framework or we’ll literally be discriminating based on race all over again and all the way down. No horrors of the past justify that level of wrongness. It’s hopeless and fruitless to try and design a “racially equitable” society, and you’re going to always just be an angry person if you set out on that path.

All that said, as always with these situations, I ask “what is the end goal and how can I help get there”. 9 times out of 10, there is no end goal and that’s where I draw the line in lending my valuable time, my money, my vote, and/or any mental space for stress and concern to a proposed cause. If you came to me and said every white person has to pay e.g. $5000 this generation, 4k the next, then 3k, and so on to balance out slavery and then we’re done talking about race and we can move on I would pay up immediately even though I disagree with the idea of reparations and holding future generations accountable for the sins of their fathers. I would do it because there’s a clear goal (correct for the past) and path to achieve it (pay money).

What I can’t get behind is being perpetually discriminated against as a white person under a framework of ever-evolving goalposts chasing racial equity of outcomes into the sunset.
Thank you, that actually answers my question.
Depending on the court, burdens of proof can vary a lot...
It's the difference between "we're setting aside this slot specifically for you because of who your parents are" and "we're placing you in this competitive pool that will make up a certain percentage of the overall class."

They're vastly different in terms of magnitude.
The results speak loudly by themselves.

This is not the first submarine build and many of the other are still on duty after decades.
They can ask you to say that you own all the relevant rights, and then if it turns out not to be true later they can say they don't know.

Which seems like as much as you can hope for in a policy?
A lot of the beef with Amazon seems to be "welcome to retail". I don't think Walmart even has third-party logistics for its stores -- or if it does it's of the "hire contractors and squeeze them hard" variety.

Personally I've found the customer experience of non-FBA merchants on amazon is often pretty bad: long shipping times and weird return policies. This gets at a sort of core problem with this: where is the line between anticompetitive behavior and just "making good products". I was very happy when google did it's hotels thing, the hotel aggregators are by-and-large unpleasant. And as much as there was wailing and gnashing of teeth here about amp, when I was doing a mobile search I would preferentially click amp sites -- they tended to work much better.

Of course all of this depends on what specifically the FTC is arguing, and we won't see that until they actually file.
I am thinking back to when I was a wunderkind. If I'd had access to modern technology (software and hardware) back then, could I have done anything like this? NO!
Conservatives also care deeply about morality and society, but their opinions often hide behind whatever legal interpretation gives them the policy outcome they desire.

Thomas is a textualist when the text is favorable. If it's not, suddenly historical context and the founder's intent becomes crucial.
I have the same preference as you perhaps for different reasons. I'm glad to see people seem to not think we have to do this yet but I'm assuming it's inevitable given a couple years.

I can see some use cases for it, but every time in the past I've encountered other kinds of partially-sequential UUIDs like v1 or v5, they've been misused. Same with the hash-based ones like v3. v4 is simple and not prone to misuse.

It's pretty easy to accidentally convince yourself of things when you get a big payday by doing so.

This is why analyzing clinical trial data is so obscenely hard. There are bad actors, there are liars, and there are scientists who are really, really hoping to achieve a breakthrough. All of them are liable to end up putting forth bad information.

I would look at what happened in South Africa. An explicit part of Mandela's agenda was setting an end point for the discussions around what happened during apartheid.

South Africa is also a good example of what happens if people decide to go back and reopen that box (and tbf, when it came to money the initial movement was quite short-lived, the current President of South Africa got very rich very quickly).

Yes, because this is what's been happening already with the past versions. It's not just sequential and random, there are also hash-based UUIDs. They shouldn't have sequential (heh) version numbers.
> public schools may not discriminate on the basis of race

Harvard is NOT a public school! It is a private institution which receives public funds. Huge difference but I guess that's not something you want to consider.

Nobody has the right to attend Harvard. They must discriminate based on something. (see: their legacy admission system which accounts for half of all their admissions. Which is fundamentally racist because, guess what color of skin harvard legacy admissions predominantly have?)

> I don't really feel like in 2023 I should have to be arguing that the right to attend a public school shouldn't be conditioned on a pupil's race or ethnicity.

Again, Harvard is NOT a public school. Affirmative action was conditions for receiving public funds. But if you are really mad at harvard for not letting in more deserving students maybe redirect that hate towards the legacy admissions which almost certainly pushed out well deserving students.
The data shows that the use of physical discipline is independently associated with negative emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes. If there are any studies of the same quality that show otherwise, go ahead and post them. Otherwise, your argument is just like saying that infrequent lead exposure may be beneficial because studies only focus on the negative effects of lifetime lead exposure.
My personal anecdote is that I tried learning Lean 4 last year with a group of other smart and curious programmers, and after a couple of weeks of trying, we failed to make significant progress learning it and stopped. We had much better luck working with Coq instead.
But what does California's proposition 65 say about it?
I am looking at this software it mentions and looking at what Apple is doing and trying to think about software/frameworks/libraries... Besides some stuff from Microsoft augmented reality stuff being on Unity, has anyone seen any of the new VR/AR stuff popping out in other things? Say some contribution with this for Godot/Unreal, or some new webspec draft that mentions VR, ... I think I saw some unrelated vulkan extensions? Just curious if there is anything in the open source/source available space to peer into.
This made me happy, too. I've been delaying becoming a paying customer because I wanted to see if they were going the VC route first. This is a signal to me that they aren't, so I've signed up.
I wasn't directing that at you, content is content (and FWIW that link works fine with yt-dlp). Rather I'm blaming Google for foisting this terrible UI on the world when they already had a decent one - from what I can tell there is no seeking, and scrolling up/down with arrow keys or mouse wheel stops the video and moves to the next one.

I think the "appeal" is for people stuck in dopamine loops on their phone, where the continual stimulation of looping plus the quick-next functionality are "features". Of course being older and more deliberate about technology choices and use, these are actually grating anti-features.

Sugar in the amount put in soda absolutely is terrible for you. The problem definitely is with people drinking too much soda, period, but replacing your average Americans's diet soda consumption with sugar soda consumption works out to an average increase of ~73 calories/person/day. Of course, most of that consumption is being done by the subset of the population currently primarily drinking diet soda, which multiples that number by 2-5 depending on what study you refer to. Which would definitely be an alarming increase in caloric consumption in a significant block of the population.

It's not that uncommon to have de/serialization functions where g(f(x)) == x for all x, but f(g(x)) != x for some x. Usually people just need to be able to correctly deserialize any valid serialized string, and preferably detect when a serialized string is invalid. Being able to deserialize some arbitrary string that doesn't represent any valid value but which can somehow still be reserialized into the same arbitrary string is a rather unusual requirement.

Surely the municipalities actually test the water though, especially since these chemicals are a decades-old issue across the world, I can't imagine it wouldn't be a standard thing to look for before determining the safety of water.

Yes! There's money to be made in the certification of the performative virtue signaling.
One can define and compile functions in a running Common Lisp. There's a standard function, compile, that does this.

In SBCL, any evaluation of an expression is done by first compiling it. Compiled functions that are no longer accessible (including not having any frames on the stack) are garbage collected.

The really interesting question is not whether users can mutate existing compiled code, but whether it's useful for the Common Lisp implementation to do so. This is because Common Lisp is a dynamic language, where generic functions and classes can be redefined on the fly. If you want to implement such things efficiently, it would be useful to be able to change existing compiled functions to reflect that (for example) this slot of this object is at this offset rather than that offset.

A scheme has been proposed to do that that puts such code off to the side in little chunks accessed with unconditional branches. When a redefinition occurs the branch is redirected to a newly created chunk; the old one is GCed when no longer referenced from the stack. You have to pay for the unconditional branches, but those are typically quite fast.

1. Latinos are extremely colorist in their own countries and have serious racism from the "European" heritaged ones vs the "indigenous" ones. This dynamic is a big deal in latin america

2. Latinos in the USA voted more heavily from Trump in 2020 than in 2016, and iirc trump got like 39% of the latino vote in 2020. Latinos are extremely conservative and are straight up abandoning catholocism and embracing evangelical protestantism due to the "liberalisation" of the catholic church.

These tools are clearly very powerful and likely will get more powerful. What they do would have been considered science fiction 3 years ago. Getting into the habit of asking your "assistant" to perform tasks seems like an investment which will give solid returns.

That being said, I don't think you are hurting yourself much today. But the trend is not in your favor.

PS: these tools are tremendously useful when creating documents. YMMV.
From your link they call out both processed meat and red meat. They do distinguish that processed meat "causes" and red meat "probably causes" cancer.

Her theory of antitrust goes back 100+ years. It’s that there should be robust competition and when firms get too large and powerful they should be broken up.

The alternate theory is the novel one. That theory basically sums up to “no we shouldn’t” and also “after a few years in public service I am happy to announce I have taken a role at a large monopolistic company and can now afford a summer home.”

Uhh, they were using AI moniker in 2019. They just circled back to it this year:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190428005007/https://min.io/
There are already successful Steam games known to have used AI art. And this is only in the cases of the developers publicly admitting that.

High On Life used Midjourney for it's ingame posters - https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1583230/ - https://www.thegamer.com/high-on-life-ai-generated-art/

And Firmament
https://store.steampowered.com/app/754890/Firmament/ - https://www.pcgamer.com/firmament-ai-generated-content/

So is Valve now going to remove these games off the store? This seems like a very terrible way to handle this - they need to make clear rules and make a public statement, not just start banning apps that they sense use AI art.

The publication or utterance of seditious or indecent matter is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law.
