That’s true, and I don’t mean to downplay your experiences. This is more of me trying to convince you that it’s okay to feel angry and hurt without it taking away from other peoples’ experiences. It doesn’t have to be a you-or-them phenomenon.

All I’m saying is that it pervades womens’ lives more. They have to deal with it constantly, every day. If you have any trans friends, I’d encourage you to ask them about it, since the issues are doubly magnified. That was one of the stepping stones that let me start to believe that women have it much worse than men, even if our experiences are also awful.

Either way though, I hope you have a nice week, and I’m sorry if my comment brought up some trauma.

Inkscape is a gem, I used to like it a lot in earlier versions despite its clunkiness (after all, I'm not paying for it so I can't really complain if it doesn't looks like an Adobe product). And yet in recent versions it feels like it has improved massively, both in terms of UI and performance. Truly amazing!

As soon as you have composite types, you will want to filter and join on the individual components, which would require extending the query language to allow drilling down into nested composite types. Basically you are back to hieracical databases. This is why Codd recommends expressing composite types as relations rather than complex values. You can express the same information, but can use relational algebra rather then special-case operators.

Nulls are a special case though - even if null was not allowed in base tables, you would still need them in outer joins.

Twitter is dead.
> I am wondering why anyone would think they are in an adequate position to write anything about a topic, even though they neither did proper research whatsoever on the topic nor have their own experiences in the matter.

I think everyone is in a position to write a post about why they themselves don't do something. It's his blog - he's a fairly well-known person who a lot of people are interested in, I'm sure he's been asked before about this topic, and he chose to answer it, on his personal blog. Who would be better positioned than him to say why he chooses to do (or not do) something?

He's not saying using psychedelics is wrong or that other people should or shouldn't use them, he's saying why he chooses not to use them.

Literally the first line is:

"I am not sure how many people should use psychedelics, and I do not wish anything in this post to be construed as advice."

> more than just education.

Definately, debating, fencing and politics of student councill all belong in university.

But is a highly-commercial sport appropriate.

My understanding is that these studenta do sport instead of studying. They basically get a degree instead of cash compensation. This seems both corrupting education and exploiting the students.

If you think that's okay, why is this approach not applied to Formula Student?

I control my browser (actually my whole computer) with my voice.

I'm not aware of anything specific where you could say "click publish" and it would intelligently find the published button, though I haven't looked.

What I use is a combination of vimium (a vim browser plugin, there are a few) and talon (https://talonvoice.com/), either just relying on the vim shortcuts but with my voice, of for specific domains making talon shortcuts.

I have also heard good things about Rango, which is supposed to be a vimium like thing but much more voice focused: https://github.com/david-tejada/rango. I haven't tried to use it though.

Cigarettes are killing more people than all the substances you mentioned.

Also the fact that you include "creatine" among those substances is extremely ridiculous, creatine is available OTC and present in many foods, it's obvious that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Lip-fillers are not substances that you ingest or inject in your bloodstream, they're part of surgeries.

The FDA should be here to say this is recommended for this and that purpose. Here are the recommended dosages.
Not to forbid you from using something.
Every dangerous substances should have warnings on them like "this could kill you/give you cancer/mental illnesses" or even "not meant for human consumption".
Ask HN: Do you put most of your money in stocks?
It's rather shocking to me that 9 of 12 friends of mine I've asked recently have zero direct exposure to the stock market, whereas about 80% of my savings is in stocks/mutual funds/etc. Of said friends, the most common reason (besides that they don't feel like they know what to invest in) is a general feeling that "the market's gotta crash one day". I respond with, "but FOMO". (Neither one is a valid argument).

The two wealthiest people I know are completely invested in real estate and neither of them gets anywhere near the stock market.

Yet... I was brought up on this concept that the best way to preserve and increase wealth is to buy stocks that have a history of increasing their dividends, and dripping them. That that is better than any sort of CD or mutual fund. Mostly utilities where there's a firewall to competition. Which, granted, is a curiously conservative form of investment (but still a pretty radical form of saving, from the perspective of most of my friends).

I'm curious how many people around here actually put most of their money in the market, or what your view is on it.

* Primary logo in top left of web changed to X

* Favicon still old Twitter logo

* Search bar says "Search Twitter"

* Meta title still says Twitter

* Tweet terminology still in use

* Dialog for upgrading to Twitter Blue now has a blue X logo but copy refers to Twitter Blue

* Communities still called Twitter Communities

I mean, it's an X. There aren't many things you can do to an X to make it look unique.
I work with batteries, it is almost always the cost of setting up a factory for a new process is just too high. Especially the first factory where you need new machines that don't exist yet.

My company is actually developing new lithium-metal battery chemistry that uses existing process for manufacturing, this is much more cost-effective and lower risk. You can just slightly retool an existing lithium-ion factory to pump out these new batteries.

Large-scale lithium-ion ever became a thing because Sony pumped a ton of R&D into walkmans.

By what mechanism would it "lie" to you? How is it even capable of lying in this sense of the word:

I guess it could "lie" in other senses, but calling that lying is not really adding clarity to the situation.

Nothing professional; just sketches for personal projects in and around the house. Usually fairly detailed, but mostly useful to get a sense of proportion and to design the basic layout of things like built-in closets.

Inkscape's snapping, aligning, and layering features make it a good tool for this as long as you need nothing more than 2D views.

I also use Inkscape to prepare the (plywood, MDF) sheet sawing instructions for the lumber yard. They love it when customers present them with a clear overview for the cuts (and I love it when wood I order is cut correctly). For me it's useful to use a single sheet as economically as possible.
Any lawyer even vaguely familar with GPDR wouldn't be worried about this. There is a text that states: "processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party.." and "processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject".

It could be easily argued that providing an end customer with access to digital products they bought is part of the service that data subjects signed up for, so retaining PII indefintely is 100% allowed (unless the data subject explicitly requets their account to be permanently deleted).

This is difficult for people to stomach because so much of post-FDR, post- Wickard v Filburn U.S. law has no validity under the Constitution, even though the idea of breaking the last 80 years of jurisprudence is unpalatable...

The constitution doesn't allow the feds to ban substances. That's why we needed a constitutional amendment for the failed experiment to ban alcohol in the first place.

(And, arguably, through the 14th amendment, the States, although that's not a strong case because it's not an enumerated right, but there are 1A issues with religions including Christianity using various drugs, and 4A issues with enforcement... same as most "let's ban X" ideas have.)

This is a good point, and also true for any system that may contain biases, e.g. deep learning systems.

However ... generalization is also a key part of what makes us intelligent beings, so let's not assume it's all bad.

For example, if someone is a heavy smoker then they are more likely to get lung cancer is a completely reasonable line of thinking.

Your comment is pretty thoughtful, so I’d like to respond in kind. One difference is that we rarely gain or lose jobs based on how we look. Another difference is that if we were to try to make a living by being a sex worker, we’d find that our income is much less than women, precisely because of the demand for a certain type of body. This realization is the essence of body image issues; to know that no matter what you do, you probably won’t achieve a certain thing in life unless you look a certain way. Worse, the question being ever present in the back of your mind will always get to you, no matter how much you try to shrug it off.

I note that this thread started out with a comparison of astrology to racism, and everybody seemed to buy into that. Is it so hard to believe that we’re just as guilty of our own flaws? It’s easy to make fun of a woman who believes the stars predict your future, but we should at least check whether we’re fostering a culture that can predict very accurately whether an ambitious young woman might want to join us as developers. The answer right now tends to be no, and I’m skeptical it’s because their interests are different.
Another stupid play is to merge verification with membership. I thought he would add a new membership tier along blue check mark to have some extra income. Instead he actually chose the bizarre route and sabotaged the verification.

There are university leagues for every kind of sport in the UK. Most of the people involved take it very seriously but it's still just a form of recreation and doesn't attract crowds and money. I've never spoken with anyone who admires or envies the US system. If it came up in conversation I suppose most would find it utterly bizarre and likely to corrupt the purpose of a university, as I do.

Ask HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?
My country (Israel) is going through a coup d'état, which would result in a regime that can use surveillance without going through the courts.

Israel has one the most advanced surveillance capabilities, that has long been used to target other peoples and nations, but as far as is known, not its own people. This might now change.

I am trying to prepare in advance with encryption software, and optimally a way to communicate if traditional networks go down. Unfortunately other nations have gone through similar situations recently, so I'm wondering if there's a known guideline for these situations.

However, I do strongly feel this is a big mistake and will act as a jarring moment for a lot of people who will not want a 'new' thing. This may be the move that spikes the platform as the relevance of X becomes less and less because now it's history is disjoint from twitter and it's relevance to current events over the last 20 years.
