What a lot of people don’t understand about this flavor of feminism is that it isn’t about gender, or directly about trans people. It’s about the primacy of sex in defining and defending women as a class.

Social roles, gender, clothes, appearance, identification, personality… none of these things are what makes a woman a woman.
Or a CEO cage match.
I would agree with that, at least for this site. I wouldn't be surprised if the ratio was 1 to 10, since tech skews it significantly. For example, I work in tech in the US, and the only American I've spoken to today was my summer intern, and - oh hold up, I just typed that and realized she's from Canada. OK, I've been in work meetings all day and I have not spoken to a "US American" during that time. I suspect that other sites, particularly some subreddits, are mostly American, though.

I haven't run a desktop linux for years so this might be completely off, but what I got from it was there will two majors paths:

- you're a hardcore oriented distro, you assume most things will be built from source, follow all of your dependencies and maintain the glue for your distro. Gentoo/Slackware style。

- you value convenience and go the snaps/flatpack route.

And you can still go the convenience path while building some specific apps from source, but there will be a bigger gap to bridge and it won't make sense formost applications.

I get the shift, as we're already seeing it, even outside the cloud, I think it's still the best of both worlds. I compare that to how I'm running a natively compiled postgres version but a containerized mysql because it was too much of a pain to match all the dependencies.
Clubhouse? The Facebook?
The hypocrisy of "we fired 7500 people because we can (and didn't honor any of their contract terms)", followed by "no one else is allowed to employ them", is truly a thing to behold.

But followed up with "no one working on Threads worked at twitter" is a chef's kiss.
It's funny, I've had this issue with one of the most cost-cutting airlines before (Ryanair). And they just paid right out. A lot more than the ticket for the flight sector had cost, too.

And it was due to the airport being closed for inclement weather. Not even their fault.
What's the solution though?
There is no reason to use state at all here, let alone the state of the world. In FP you just do:

Moreover, this example is totally meaningless, because it doesn't feature anything that is different about FP and the imperative style at all.

For enterprises, it's hard to have a ton of different tools.
I worked at a very large software company, and our security tech stack was so big and convoluted, that just maintaining a compliant CI/CD pipeline was a 5 person job, because there are ~20 different tools to integrate and debug, and each of those changes every year or two, so you're constantly re-learning, re-integrating, debugging,etc.

Arbitration.
Yeah. Joking around helps build camaraderie, and makes people want to stay working there. I'm not sure who or where these hypothetical pearl clutchers, who can't handle a codebase with jokes or a bit of swearing, are, or why management care so much about them hypothetically encountering the codebase and getting upset. Sanitising everything and making it family friendly just makes workplaces even more soulless, rather than letting us have a bit of character in our work. At best it makes you look humourless, and at worst it can make people feel anxious about causing offence, if it's particularly strict policing
I took an airline to the small claims court last year, and they settled when it entered the mandatory arbitration phase. They never really had any good reason for denying the claim, and the evidence (including emails on the day of cancellation) supported my compensation claim.

I think the modus operandi is simply to deny and obfuscate everything. That probably works 95+% of the time, as it takes a certain amount of motivation and effort to actually go through a small claim (even though it is ridiculously simple these days). My wife told me she would never have bothered.

So, they probably ultimately save a lot of money by doing this, even though it is annoying and nefarious.
I thought so too ~10 years ago but switched to docker on all my machines some years ago. For me personally it seems much easier to manage docker-compose and Dockerfiles than individually managing lxc/lxd containers. And I do have some docker containers that run multiple processes where separation makes no sense. I'm not ever going back to lxd.

I now only wish docker either evolves or something entirely new replaces k8s since I do not really like k8s setup and usability.

Generally, no, universities classify graduate students as students, not employees. Stanford additionally classifies postdocs as students and charges their funding source a nominal tuition fee.

> A Stanford postdoctoral scholar is a non-matriculated trainee, in graduate student status, in residence at Stanford University pursuing advanced studies beyond the doctoral level in preparation for an independent career.

This makes doing taxes as a postdoc extremely irritating as the stipend is not earned income, which of course benefits Stanford's tax situation considerably.
I just had a friend that flew United, was going to a honeymoon in Argentina. Got caught up in the problems from the past week, they delayed his flight by 6 days (all the rebookings filled up every day going forward)! They refused to compensate him. He had to cancel the whole thing and they wouldn't give him a dime. How is that legal? They claimed it wasn't their fault, so it's not their responsibility to refund. I told him to at least try to get compensated with points (which they will normally do, but it can take a month+ for them to do it and requires a lot of bitching.)

I've had my flight delayed by 36 hours before and AmEx did a full claw back of the fare, since I missed a major event I was going to. If I hadn't had AmEx I'd have been SOL. The Airline in my case also claimed it wasn't their fault as well, though we had a 4-hour delay before because of a landing gear problem. They blamed it on air traffic control and said they couldn't do anything to refund me. Very lucky AmEx thought otherwise, otherwise I was out $2k. The airline industry is getting away with murder, which considering they've been saved by the government several times at this point is just infuriating.
I assume the cars have a database of existing traffic lights.

I can see how that's true in the case of a single lane street: the 20 individual vehicles or the 1 bus both need one lane either way. But is it still true for higher volume cases? For example, I imagine that if you replaced a major subway line with a highway, the highway would have to be a lot larger to accommodate the same number of passengers in individual vehicles.

If you’re having issues with UK 261 claims, one surefire way to move things along (beyond escalating to the national agency, which may be more or less effective depending on the country of departure) is to take the claim to CEDR.

Many times simply filing with CEDR will result in the airline paying out the claim; otherwise, if you have a legitimate claim, they’ll be ordered to pay in a relatively reasonable timeframe.

There’s a lot of great airline specific information on EU/UK 261 issues on FlyerTalk.com in the forums if you ever need to conduct additional research.

Air Canada was privatized in 1989.
Saying just "Hi" or "Hello" is asking for a synchronous chat, whether by text or by voice.

Lots of people prefer talking to people rather then writing each other letters.

Yes it's arguably less efficient, but lots of things that people do are inefficient, and if they prefer that means of communication it doesn't really hurt and in my mind is just polite to oblige them.

Try Manjaro. It's the best user desktop experience, together with Arch way better than any point release distro like Ubuntu or Mint in terms of new software availability, hardware support, and stability (yes, ironically, rolling release distros are more stable than point release ones). If you're running servers, stick to Debian.
It means you can bring them into arbitration. Judicial means a lawsuit, arbitration/mediation is extrajudicial. While "extrajudicial" can mean other things, they're not advocating vigilantism against the airline no matter how satisfying it may be for the CSR on the phone to hear about some executive's car getting keyed in the parking lot.
I know people who purposely schedule transatlantic flights with iffy connections and bad on-time records specifically in order to maximize their chance of EU/UK 261 compensation.

I didn’t make enough to max out my 401k until I hit my 40s but always had a rainy day fund (8 month runway). I guess I lost the compounding for all those years but I still have enough.

As an immigrant I’ve always lived so close to the edge financially that I feel I don’t have the same expectations of most native born folks of what retirement looks like (I don’t plan to retire, but if I’m forced to I’m planning for 70s not 65). To me it just means I have to be hustling all the time. I don’t feel I’m hard done by or financially insecure though. I’ve lived with very little (I was technically below the poverty line in undergrad — I really stretched my dollar) and now I’m relatively comfortable but it’s all the same.
Let's not ignore the fact that Threads brazenly stole Twitter's proprietary "no edit button" technology.
A better solution is to require two invites to sign up. And then the service provider hands out double the number of invites. But now every new user has at least 2 existing contacts on the service - so their first experience is more than just saying "hi" to the only person they know there.
Okay, but how much would it cost to hire a hacker or red team to breach your systems? Is it more or less than $10M? If I had one competent hacker and a year do you think you could stop me? How about three people and a year?
Launch a microblogging platform for anything but the worst universal taboos. The end.
The best advice I can give people who struggle to claim something from an airline and get exhausted of getting rejected, use flightright.com. (No - not affiliated with them)

I had a claim rejected and initially it was rejected when flightright attempted to claim it. It went to court and even after commission I ended up with more money than I paid for the tickets.

All I had to do was sign a few documents and have patience.

Swore at or swore while talking to? There's quite a big difference. I don't see profanity as inherently abrasive, and some of the biggest dickheads I've met in workplaces didn't swear much at all (some were of the Professor Umbridge type, so kept up an air of perfect professionalism)

So I Answer with nuance about said shades of gray, and your response is that you don't want to read that much and "Its a binary question".

> For the record, the narrative I'm pushing here is "shades of gray

Fine. Let's assume that's true.

> Convicted formerly-male rapist, now identifies as female. Which prison do they go to

With information given, it doesn't matter, but generally default to male for violent criminals.

Reason: You prioritize protecting others from violent offenders over the offender themself when push comes to shove, which is what you're forcing by framing the question in such a way.

If we modify the question slightly to remove the implication and give enough actual information to make a determination, we'd specify who the male had raped. You send them to the opposite. Unless it's both/unclear, in which case, you refer back to my default.

It's not a hard question. But the way you frame it is straight out of a fascist handbook (Throw the "paradox" of tolerance in their face while strictly framing the question in a way that does not allow for nuance), especially while trying to advocate for "shades of gray" while insisting on reducing the discussion to a binary question. It's not productive discourse.

So no, the narrative here you're pushing is not "shades of gray", it's literally binary.
Well, that's partly because these languages were never designed to be functional in nature, and partly because the approach you propose is not how FP works. I'm not sure what else you'd expect?

Threads seems to be poised to take the Fediverse mainstream. Whether it's the first step in an Embrace/Extend/Extinguish strategy is not really relevant. The fact remains that Meta will bring the idea of "yourname@fediverse-domain.com" identities into mainstream consciousness. I suspect that this will be good for the Fediverse, at least in the short term.

That said, I'm worried that Meta will only choose to federate with a whitelist of ActivityPub instances, which would certainly be a long term harm to the Fediverse. Maybe they'll prove me wrong though. Zuck is more philosophical than people give him credit for, and I think he's aware of the mistakes he made that caused people to lose trust in Meta. He has an opportunity to embrace (for better or worse) federation as a way to distinguish Meta from its increasingly centralized peers.

It's also an opportunity to expose the disingenuity of Musk, who ironically promised to "turn the platform into 'something new that’s decentralized" [0] but is now suing Meta for making a product that more closely resembles that description than does Musk's recent behavior of view limits and auth walls.

Rotary-Powered Domino’s Trike Almost Became the Future of Pizza Delivery
This thread is amazing. I've flown Paris-DC at least ten times over the past three years. (Yes, my carbon footprint is stupid.) Airfrance was systematically the best experience I had. One other company fucked up my connections so bad that the eventually offloaded me to an AF flight. The first company also lost my luggage, and it was airfrance who led the search effort to find it and send it back to me...

As for EU companies being shit, I can only laugh. Customer service might be apparently "friendly" in the USA but fuck you if you expect actual compensation for delays or cancellations. There are just zero regulations, so they don't care. They will however smile and call you buddy while explaining to you that they won't do anything and you better not complain again or they'll charge you extra fees. Which I guess has been dubbed as "customer service excellence" elsewhere in this thread.
Europe has plenty of competition in the airlines space?

I believe it's thanks to that competition being mostly low-cost that we've now got a race to the bottom in terms of customer service.
I hate these articles. "Take a deep breath and refocus". "Find a way of working that works for you." "Stick with that you know." "Understand risks." It's so meta it's useless.
Transfers of under an hour with AF/KLM are a complete crapshoot; if you actually need to get to your destination on time (as opposed to somewhere within half a day of that), don’t use them (otherwise, go for it).

For several years pre-Covid, AF/KLM would sell you evening tickets from Moscow SVO to Paris CDG with a transfer of IIRC half an hour to an hour and a half in AMS, and they virtually never made it, putting you up in the airport hotel until the next flight in the morning. It wasn’t a bad deal if you expected the delay (I still carry around one of the very nice foldable hairbrushes they gave out in the hotel), but I don’t understand how that could ever be a sensible business decision.
If this was a case of turning up for arbitration, sure, that's lots of paid staff time wasted. But if they already had enough information to provide to the customer service to provide a summary to the customer, it shouldn't be that much harder to provide the raw info to ANAC. It may not be fully automated, but... At few hundred $ per claim, an existing semi-automated process would surely pay for itself if their objections were true, right?

It's likely way more complicated in practice, but I don't immediately buy the "it's cheaper not to fight it" idea, if the request is just for information they already have.
Wow, under penalty of perjury

In other words, their EV strategy doesn’t work and they are losing to Tesla and the Chinese automakers.
IIRC, they've since expanded their training to "the basics of flying a plane without the autopilot holding your hand" and "Here's how to not stall at 35,000 ft, and here's how to recover if you do."

The latter part about high-altitude stall recovery was, IIRC, previously absent entirely.

> If I hadn't had AmEx I'd have been SOL.

Although I wrote about Article 19 of the Montreal Convention below which would have applied in your case, I should point out that in practice as a heavy traveler I mostly also rely on AmEx. AmEx has saved my bacon so many times I've lost count, in one case they basically literally saved my life by providing me a translator and guaranteeing my deposit to be treated in a hospital for 4 days while I was traveling in a foreign country one time. They've helped cover damage to rental cars, and flight cancellations, and all sorts of other things throughout the nearly 20 years I've had my card.

While knowing the law is a good thing, I honestly think for us Americans the most important thing is having a competent travel card and knowing what your coverages are and using them. AmEx is a godsend when dealing with shady airlines, rental companies, and hotels.
