> But if this whole issue is because women are frightened of predatory men in that circumstance then this issue is with predatory men not with those that happen to be LBGTIQ+. The intersection is likely vanishingly small.

The issue, I would guess, is not necessarily with predatory men that are also LBGTIQ+ (which would be vanishingly small as you say), but perhaps with predatory men that would claim to be LBGTIQ+, which these predatory men would have an incentive to do. This could be a much larger segment of the population, relatively speaking. That said, this is not the point I was arguing, as I don't have a clearly defined opinion about this.

What I don't understand is why people think that leaving things as subjective as they are (and therefore more prone to prejudices) is better than having simple and clear definitions and legal rules that can be adapted to each person's personal circumstances (again, assuming that you do want to have separate bathrooms).

Especially given what you said in another comment:

> That 'at birth' thing is arbitrary if for example you are a mix of male and female cells, or as in the story, genetically one thing but partly physically another. Especially if it takes some time to work out what the facts are for a given person.

Exactly. Since it would be difficult to work out what the facts are, it would be better to have a legally binding document that clearly says "you are allowed to go to these bathrooms". Then you would no longer have to "work out" these issues every time someone makes a fuss.

Although, I will repeat again that you'd need to allow this document to change after birth, as that would be required in some cases.
It's a bad and lazy question, but I'll respond nonetheless.

"All united by a passion for beautiful architecture and an aesthetically pleasing living environment." is entirely subjective. Presenting opinions on what constitutes 'aesthetically pleasing' as fact is neither productive nor useful. Trying to link this with empirical research so cumbersomely is foolhardy, patronising to the reader and not compelling.

I would claim that’s the physics engine, more than the “game engine”. Physx did this sort of thing 15 years ago.
I think this aspect of religion/history is fascinating. One of my favorites is the myth of the seven sisters who became the Pleiades constellation. It's a myth that appears to have originated before settlers migrated from Africa to Australia. In every culture, we see a story of seven sisters chased into the heavens by a hunter, but there's only six stars! The seventh star has faded from sight over the last few thousand years, yet the myth has persisted. It's likely the oldest myth in human history!
> but the company that provides repair services up to 7 years and battery replacements for Macs up to 10 years is somehow worse than that because they refuse to provide access to parts to third party repair shops that don’t join their program?

Apple is well known for forcing customers to swap expensive internal components (instead of repairing them) and contributing to greater e-waste. They force suppliers to not sell parts to independent repair stores. It sounds like you're not very familiar with it, so I won't blame ya.

I have the option of not taking my car to the dealership and instead doing simple stuff like oil changes myself, or taking it to a mechanic I trust. I'd like the same option for my electronics. If you don't trust anyone except Apple, you can keep going to them.
Gadaffi threatened to sell oil in a currency other than the US dollar. That particular threat to the hegemon could not go unpunished. Without the dollar as the world reserve currency, a position firmly backed by the US army, there is no way the US could afford its current level of expenditure. A threat against the reserve status of the dollar is an existential threat to the US.

And so did Saddam Hussein, for that matter...

Even on the less cynical side, there's something to be said for hearing from customers directly instead of filtered through 5 levels of middle management
The general answer is that we can all be held personally liable for our own torts. For example, if a delivery company driver runs into a pedestrian, the pedestrian can definitely sue the driver. Usually, however, they will want to sue the company instead, because the company has more money.

The same logic applies here. The customer can sue the employee who falsified the records, but they’re more likely to want to sue the company.
Google is nearing the release of Gemini, its GPT-4 competitor
Yes, I would expect amount of work per paper to stay roughly constant in a healthy research community. The whole point of writing papers should be to communicate what you did and found so that others don't have to do the same thing, and I think the amount of work would be the relevant variable that determines the amount of information that has to be transferred.
What if the contract states that they can?
I think it would make more sense to take a cut of the revenue when a game is sold, as that is easier to calculate for the developers. I can understand why they chose installs though as that's easier to measure for them and they would need to trust developers with their revenue numbers as they don't own the distribution platform like e.g. Apple does, but honestly they could've just used the installation rate as a sanity check for the license numbers reported by developers.

As a game developer I would be very wary about signing such a contract as I'm sure these metrics can be easily gamed, so anyone with enough malicious intent could probably install-bomb my game and rack up large charges for me, and in the end I would be responsible for proving that those installs were malicious (which I imagine could be quite difficult).
So this person lays out a complicated issue concerning contracts and fraud and ends with

> To be clear I'm not looking for legal advice, just opinions from people who may have been in a similar situation

I'm going to go ahead and say they are going to dig themselves deeper in the hole.
If I was going to get fired it’d be for telling the truth. Saying no is allowed. If they fire you for telling the truth and there is evidence to support your position then sue the fuck out of them for unfair dismissal.

My current company won’t let me near customers.
ehhhh. Lots of hyper-conservative responses there (which is understandable, it's asking for legal advice). But assuming this is part of an RFP response, "embellishment" of answers is par for the course, and I understand the frustration of the director.

First, there's always a good chance nobody on the client side actually cares about this. RFPs tend to come with hundreds of questions, most of which are put in as requirements by completely detached departments to make them feel important, but don't actually matter. If something is important, it can be negotiated. For example, if the pen test is important, you can get the client to agree to sign the contract with a clause that says if they don't get pen tests results by X date the contract is void.

Second, well, what is a pen test, really? If you ever called one of your APIs to validate that your authorization or authentication code works, or you've validated that your AWS security groups are blocking external traffic to your database, congrats, you've performed a "pen test"! The client won't consider that sufficient, of course, but it's a justification for an answer on an RFP, at least. If they want more details, as they do in this case, they can always schedule a follow-up call or ask to see the pen test results document.

This situation reads like an engineer who needs a bit of business/sales experience more than anything. In their discussion with the client, you can start with "we've currently only done in-house penetration testing, but are looking to contract an external vendor to do penetration testing by X date." Assuming you've done any testing, this is a true statement, and the client can determine if that's sufficient.

The real solution to this is to get SOC2/ISO27001 certification, though, which makes a lot of these RFP headaches go away.
I've been living with generalized anxiety and OCD for over a decade, and I often find myself in a cycle of constant overthinking.

Balance is a web app I created that uses GPT-4 to attempt to tackle acute anxiety. You tell it what's bothering you, and Balance crafts three unique interpretations of your situation.

It's by no means intended to supersede professional assistance, and if you're ever feeling overwhelmed or in an emergency, seeking professional help is vital.

I designed Balance with the aspiration to bring a little respite and fresh perspective for anyone grappling with acute anxiety situations.

I released it as a completely free app (I currently have some free OpenAI credits that are paying for the AI side of it) with the hopes that it can help others like it's helped me.

There are details on safety and privacy under "More info" on the website.
I doubted the claims around here, so I tried to get some numbers from a DDG search.

I didn't find anything definitive, but looks like cruise ships spend something on the order of 100kg of fuel per passenger-day. This is completely out of line from any kind of transportation (with speeds on the order of 40km/h).

Their main issues are that they use a huge amount of electricity, and that they run way too fast for a ship.
Syncing your password safe to Dropbox is a completely different scenario, with a corresponding different threat model.

It may work for some people, but on average, I'd say it's worse than relying on a dedicated/"native" password safe cloud syncing service.

In any case, it's certainly not an alternative to a physical offline copy.
To be fair, the creator of HP is a crazy conservative. So, the idea of "Whore crux" being an attempt of fighting promiscuity isn't surprising.
It is traditional arms race. The whatever system combats something is constantly improved. And the other side consisting hundreds or thousands of people try to circumvent it all the time. Not too rarely they find some new way and that then has to be blocked.
My pithy description of software development is "a series of decisions in pursuit of a goal".

dogma invites people to stop using their critical thinking skills.

One of my favorite examples of this:

Everyone would agree that having a newborn in a car means safety is paramount. Everyone also agrees that left turns are less safe than right turns. No one would agree that this implies you should never make left turns in a vehicle with a newborn.

^But the above is how both security people and TDD proponents tend to act, as if there can be no risk assessment and critical thinking involved. We've all made right hand turns when we really wanted to go left because there was just too much traffic, even without a newborn in the vehicle.

Pymoo: Multi-Objective Optimization in Python
So I live in a remote community that has one main train route out of the mountains. Everyone goes to/from the train station to commute to the local metro for work. We have fixed bus routes during the major commute hours in the morning and evening, but during the day we have three small buses that act like an Uber. You call them, they pick you up and drop you off anywhere in the community for $2.

It works great! Less cars on the road and flexibility you just won’t get without a lot more empty buses driving around all the time.

And it makes money cause there’s enough popular destinations that the buses often have 3-5 riders sharing rides.
I’m not an extreme Harry Potter fan or anything. It just bothers me when people ride the coattails of some popular term/phrase but then get it wrong. Another one is “isomorphic” as in “isomorphic JavaScript” which abuses the term from mathematics to mean something completely unrelated.
This doesn’t feel right to me: Mark Cuban is obviously a general target because he’s rich, but there are probably (tens of?) thousands of people not as rich as him who keep similar amounts of cryptocurrency in hot wallets. That’s all that matters to these specific attackers.
Tricky.

I'm guessing you are already familiar with the Long Now Foundation?

Grass is greener. I don’t read very much because I prefer learning through trial and error when doing because I’m certain most ideas on the internet are wrong anyway (especially regarding programming). This is a limitation, and a middle ground approach is probably actually optimal. Which maybe I do because I still read extremely highly recommended things referred by people I know
Oh, I agree! SQL is far from optimal, as is JS. My thoughts are more about the feasibility of a replacement than the need for one.

US electrical outlets are also highly flawed, but we're never going to replace them either. Standards, once entrenched, are nearly impossible to uproot.
In the article, yet another leak notification as well. Maybe we’ll see how much data casinos really have on us.

Could you list any points that stood out to you in this context and on the topic of this thread?
It isn't the story itself that I'm saying is cartoonish (though it may be as well). It is jumping from that factually happening to that being the primary cause for the nation's car centric infrastructure and lifestyle. IME an emergent social dynamics explanation is much more likely to be correct than a conspiracy theory most of the time.
Exactly. Crypto enthusiasts are slowly building up the traditional banking system, a couple million-dollar hacks at a time.

I've found ClamTk visually buggy but otherwise functional in that it completes scans.
The automatic update function is either broken or silent, as is the user-initiated update button, though eventually it displays that an update took place.
As someone who prefers graphical front-ends over command line (so far, and I don't have enough reasons to change at this point), I appreciate that ClamTk exists.
Was thinking the same thing. If you ever start to doubt who's on the right side of this and who... isn't, meditate on the phrase "illegal library". For me, it's right up there with "illegal hospital".

The world is changing faster than ever, and a lot of the countries, dynamics, peace treaties and structures we're familiar with may be about to come to an end. Peter's job consists of him analysing data from geography, demographics, and global politics to understand economic trends and make predictions. And if his predictions are correct, the next 50 years are going to look incredibly different.
Oscar Wilde said "The truth is never pure and rarely simple," and legistating as if it is does not work well. There has to be acceptance of difference and nuance.

The point may be to try to avoid women (or anyone) being harassed in toilets: that is reasonable. But that has nothing to do with what happens to be on someone's birth certificate, especially someone already in a tricky circumstance through genetics or whatever.
I didn't read the comment in any way like "not every man is a sexist", mainly because what the comment says is true - Israeli society is made up of very particular groups, and the political map is complex, its not a single vector of left-wing to right-wing or secular to religious.

The settlement movement is a mix of secular nationalist people and religious Zionist (a group that contains a lot of very religious people but is socially distinct from Haredi/ultra orthodox, and the difference is immediately obvious to anyone who is familiar with the groups based on their dress code alone).

There's even a political party that caters primarily toward immigrants from the former Soviet Union that is simultaneously staunchly secular and anti-Haredi but also right wing and nationalistic.
> What confuses me most about Israel’s rising political turmoil is that the faction driving for violence against Muslims (the ultra orthodox) are also exempt from the military.

That's mostly inaccurate. Most Haredi people don't "promote" any violence against Palestinians, since they don't see themselves as part of this conflict (they mostly identify as non Zionist), don't go to the army, and in general don't participate in any violence against Palestinians.
You might be talking about religious zionists, most of their men actually do go to the army.

There's definitely room for lightweight positive comments. Those are a natural part of healthy conversation. What we don't want are the shallow dismissal or name-calling kind; not anywhere on HN, but especially not in Show HNs, which have extra rules along those lines (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).

(We also don't want the kind of thread that fills up with booster comments from friends/fans/users, usually after someone passed a link around. But that's a separate issue.)

I agree with you that posting links to alternatives isn't great in a Show HN thread or a startup launch thread, but people are always going to do that - it's how the mind works (associatively). We usually downweight such comments when we see them, which ranks them lower in the thread. But of course there are many we don't see. (Edit: and yeah, you were right - this thread was full of them. Not good.)

Applause for substantive feedback! including what you provided the OP here!

What would be the benefit of crypto over the current monetary and financial system in that scenario?
You're right, I was wrong. I remember now that they had existent chemical weapons and a nuclear weapons program. Over time, my memory of talk of them "giving up their WMD" led to conflation and "giving up their nukes".

I think it's an important and interesting corrective, but fundamentally doesn't affect my argument about the intervention in Libya and its effects. It's just less ironic now.
So, if you end up with a lot of money, it wouldn't be wise to keep most of it in a crypto wallet.

Yes. This. In my past in situations like this I have given the sales team the line “I can answer truthfully or you can write your own answer to the customer.”
This is why you FIRE, so management loses their control authority and you can actually focus on solving problems without their interference.

This is Rust, which is a language that doesn't have data races (though other kinds of races are certainly possible).

Not to be that guy, but do you have a source for this? As scummy as what they're doing is, it's also completely typical for damned near 100% of companies to reserve the right to be scummy.
