There's also the important question of jurisdiction and closeness.

If I have to share my data with someone, I'd rather it be someone distant, and with limited capability. Sharing my data with Google is effectively the same thing as sharing my data with the FBI. And the FBI can stick guns in my face and lock me in a steel cage for anything they don't like in said data.

I have jstor access elsewhere (through a school) which allows me to actually download pdfs, but it doesn't carry all the journals that going straight through jstor does. And often I just need a single result from a paper or the article is short, and reading online without downloading is fine.

arxiv.org is best if the article is recent and available there.

Journals published by professional societies sometimes have free access - e.g. some, but not all, of the American Mathematical Society journals. Go to the organization's web site and search the journal there.

If you know the author(s) of the paper and they're still active, a search on the author(s) will often turn up faculty web pages with download links. I've found that it's useful to search (ddg, google, etc.) on the author + title of the book/paper, as opposed to going to a site that aggregates works and then searching, because a given site might not have that book/paper. I've often found books, for instance, that were not on places like Project Gutenberg.
If that's the way you want to approach it, which does have some value, the starting question is "why isn't the legal system sufficient or able to address this?" Which is a many-layered question but let's go.

The needs of a small organization are different from an entire state. Transgressions can be disruptive or destructive to organization-scale relationships without rising to criminality.

And the the traditional feminist answer of "why can't the legal system address sexual assault" is "it wasn't meant to." A famous quote on this is that from a woman's perspective rape isn't illegal it's regulated. The definitions of it and the standards to be met for deciding it has taken place were decided by men, to enforce against other men. The way women feel about their interactions with men has not traditionally been a prioritized factor in the legal system.

> Generally the existing legal system is a very difficult path

And for good reason, the current legal system assumes innocent until proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt (for criminal cases). Civil cases have a lower burden of proof.

These protections are there for a reason. Everyone has likely been accused of things they didn’t do. We shouldn’t assume anyone’s word without a decent amount of certainty.

sexual “misconduct” is even more insidious, because most people making the accusations are doing so long-after the fact, often have outside motivation for making claims AND likely have too low of a burden for a civil or criminal case… In other words, feel free to make claims, but without proof it’s hard to justify ruining someone’s life.
I agree that often that's not the goal, but if you have multiple parties making different claims ... all of a sudden you have to determine facts to make a decision based on and suddenly you've got a sort of mini justice system and you're learning all the ins and outs of such a system, making the same historical mistakes and so on.

Why do we expect a chess federation to be good at policing, investigating claims, collecting evidence, following precedent, passing judgments, and balancing collective and individual interests?

I think it's a big (and likely incorrect) assumption that all of (or even a plurality of) the people making these comments working in admissions are themselves white.

It's not just that they're not representative of an entire group of people, many aren't members of that group at all.

It's also not necessarily entirely on the admissions people - the argument made in that substack (and ultimately the conclusion of SCOTUS) is that affirmative action is a euphemism for racial discrimination.

Ultimately you have to be doing something like this somewhere if that's the policy since that's explicitly what it means, the internal comms just show the reality of the policy that's often not said in public communication (because imo it seems obviously bad to most people).

I'd suggest lobbying congress to reform the US courts. A few things come to mind:

- ban binding arbitration and all other extrajudicial legal proceedings

- strengthen whistleblower laws so that NDAs against people with whistleblower protection are non-enforceable

- train a subset of police to properly investigate sexual assault / harassment allegations

- provide a low cost alternative to civil court similar to small claims court for situations where there is a large asymmetry in the financial resources of the two sides of the proceeding.

That's the first time I've seen literally-as-figuratively defended from a historical perspective. I still think we'd all be better off if people didn't mindlessly use it as a filler word or for emphasis, which is generally what people are doing these days that is the source of controversy, not reviving an archaic usage.

Also, it's kind of ironic you corrected my use of "devolves", where many would accept it. :)
Security against unauthorized use and data lifespan are separate concerns. They're not fully orthogonal—security tends to make things more brittle—but you can apply whatever form of security you like and then store the secured data in any way you like. Hardburn seems to have been talking purely about the useful life of the archived data. The charge in flash storage leaks, so the data is eventually lost if not refreshed. A flash drive is reliable for a year, but not a decade. If you want long term storage you're going to want something else. Paper would be fine for most uses. An ordinary printout subjected to ordinary handling is good for a few decades with reasonable storage conditions.
Around the 6 months mark is when the baby starts reacting to you. Smiling, copying you, trying to eat food. To me it was a big motivator because in the previous months it's hard to see any meaning in all the effort that I pour out, because the baby was completely useless.

From then on it's less and less useless over time, and they do things like playing and learning to walk. Many of these things don't make it easier for me. Some may even make it harder, but just a little bit. Not having to wake up every few hours is the big release though. So over time, it's less work and more satisfaction, which to me is an ongoing motivator.

Another big jump for me was when we start going to a child care, at around the 12 months mark. It's a huge relief. My wife and I have time to try and resume "normal" life. The baby learns more things at school and sees more people. It costs quite a bit but we don't talk about it :)

I'm hopeful it will be less and less work, but I have already made peace with the fact that I will never be back to "normal". We will probably stress about the baby until we die. The good thing is, the sense of progress and satisfaction seems to scale very well, while the work is mostly flat. Surprisingly my wife and I are already talking about the next baby, because the work would still be mostly flat and the sense of progress / satisfaction would be doubled.

My daughter is 2 now so I'm a little "ahead" of you. Hope this little bit of personal experience helps. Using an old throwaway for privacy reasons.
> Generally the existing legal system is a very difficult path.

Yeah, it's a difficult path because of pesky things like evidentiary rules, burden of proof, and presumption of innocence. False accusations happen, especially in mega-competitive spaces like sports/chess competitions. I'm not sure why so many folks believe that destroying someone's livelihood, career, and reputation is ethically permissible based simply on a paragraph with zero transparency.

Hypothetically, if you were falsely accused, wouldn't you want a fair trial?

zypper is probably the best 'classic' package manager there is (although dnf is great too; it's more of an argument against Debian and its derivatives).

Then there is https://build.openbuildservice.org which automatically builds packages for all supported distributions and architectures from a single RPM spec file and creates a ready to use repository for you.

OpenSUSE Leap is built from SLES sources and is thus comparable in its stability guarantees to the old CentOS (or any of the current RHEL rebuilds).

Journaling with an LLM AI: as good as therapy, at least for me
Over the past month or so, I embarked on an experiment with AI-driven journaling using Claude, a Large Language Model. Here's a brief rundown of my journey:

* Choosing Claude: Its impressive context window, around 25 times larger than GPT-4 (handling ~75k words compared to 3k), was a big draw. This larger window allows Claude to recall and reason with content spanning my entire journaling history, offering insights that align with my previous entries — even if they were written a month ago.

* Experiment Set-up: My goal was to gauge the kind of feedback an AI could provide in the realm of personal journaling.

* Routine: Almost daily, I spend around 10-20 minutes crafting a 3-4 paragraph entry.

* Feedback Quality: The insights and feedback I've received from Claude resonate on par with what I've experienced in professional therapy sessions.

* Frequency: The ease and immediacy have led me to journal multiple times a week, which is significantly more frequent than traditional therapy sessions. This regularity, in turn, has provided me with timely and continuous insights into my personal life.

* Price/accessibility: Many people cannot afford quality access to mental healthcare. This is a tool that anyone can access for free.

The idea of an AI substituting for human-led therapy might seem unconventional for many. Yet, my experience has shown that, at least in the context of journaling, there's enormous potential.

> If someone is committing sexual assault why does their seem to be this avoidance of the existing legal system

At base, because the legal system:

- takes too long to be a useful preventative measure

- frequently involves re-traumatizing the victims, including via requiring public testimony of incredibly personal information

- often results in acquittal, frequently because victims choose not to submit themselves to trial

The goals of the legal system are essentially at odds with those of civic organizations. The legal system is designed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, a solid standard to use before e.g. incarcerating a person.

However, this standard is not necessarily stringent enough to vet people who supervise minors. More to the point, no private group of people is compelled to allow any individual to associate with them.
This is enough for me to upgrade from Workspace Starter to Standard. DocuSign is extremely expensive for what you get.

I'm agreeing with the adage in question (#'s 39 in OP) that designing any new rocket is going to be difficult or expensive, and if viable, it's better to use an existing. You acknowledge as much later in this thread:

The above poster I was responding to was saying the opposite. I was asserting that that's not true, that SpaceX is embracing the adage of not only "Don't reinvent the wheel" but "Hell, let's reuse the wheel".

Also, just because someone has the foresight to budget extra time and money for the inevitable failures/complications of an initial prototype, doesn't mean there weren't extra cost or time involved in the development of that product than if it had worked reliably like a mature, proven design would.

SpaceX has been killing it. I'm not criticizing. I'm just acknowledging these are some VERY basic tenants of engineering and product design PERIOD, no matter if you're making a stapler or a death star.
You don't move the loads to the sub panel. You make a new main panel, move the feed to that, and turn the old main panel into a sub panel. Much easier.
The legal system has a much higher bar to put people in prison for crimes. Organizations have a much lower bar for deciding not to associate with people. Their goal is to protect their members.

Also, there are lots of things that are problematic but not crimes. "Sexual misconduct" could mean sexual harassment, which isn't a crime but shouldn't be allowed in organization.
What are you talking about? There are like... a thousand things that could have done better here, and which were still being done long after the complaints.
