Curious take. When it's noted that 90% of people in tech are men, it's often said that it just isn't in women's nature to pursue work in tech; or perhaps they just don't like taking the risks that men do. Is it not in men's nature to pursue education, or is it merely not risky enough?

And supposing that 60/40 split is evidence of systemic sexism towards men, what do you make of the 40/60 split in the opposite direction when you look at tenured professors?

No, I did not, and the fact that you believe this is just proving my point. You’re being unreasonable, and no amount of explanation is going to help here.

Besides, this is way off topic.
I think there must be something going on here. Changing your IP address would screw with all sorts of things. You never be able to do online gaming. Video streaming would stop working every time your IP changed. Anything that streams would just die and not recover for a while.

The war against ISIS went well. Removing Nazis from Germany etc. But none of those are exactly the same as this. Israel has several advantages here, despite the recent failures Israeli intelligence in the region is still very robust. Israel is on the ground. Unlike the situation in Iraq where US forces had a difficult time, Israel knows the territory.

Furthermore, if this is coupled with a peace process, Israel can get help from Palestinians who despise the Hamas.

But yes, it would be an amazing accomplishment.
Something I wonder is where is the line in quantum physics where there is no experimental evidence? Obviously things like wave-particle duality have been rigorously experimentally proven, but you hear things about quantum fields, virtual particles, quantum gravity, and others and to a layperson like my self it seems like there is much less — maybe even no — experimental evidence for some of these theories.

I’m always curious what in quantum mechanics is considered “canon” vs purely hypothetical ideas.

> some regulations don't work

The vast majority of regulations don't work. At least not if your definition of "work" is to actually solve market externalities. But they're great for job security for regulators and politicians.

> The market can never solve market externalities, by definition.

This is not correct. Markets can solve externalities, through market transactions that shift ownership so that the externalities are internalized. The main thing preventing this is government regulation that raises transaction costs so that the necessary adjustments cannot be made. This has been known at least since Ronald Coase published his famous theorem.

In other words, government regulators prevent markets from solving externalities, and then complain that markets can't solve externalities so government regulators have to step in.

It's true that there are cases where there are no market transactions that can internalize an externality. But in those cases, regulation can't solve them either; there are no solutions for such cases. Welcome to the real world.

> Most of Lean 4 and its tactics are written in Lean 4 (though at this point almost none of this code has any associated proofs).

Do you have to actually prove a tactic work for it to be sound? A tactic will rewrite the program into a simplified program that will verified by a kernel; if the tactic wrongly expands something, the kernel will later reject the program. Only the itself kernel need to be verified for the whole thing to be sound.

Or am I missing something?
You need to be so smart that you jump the chasm between what school can teach you to what you can teach yourself from undergrad and beyond textbooks. Given the pressure to pass exams, in addition you need to have enough in the tank that learning more maths doesn’t risk your hoop jumping to get into university. Ironically you need to do well in many things that isn’t maths to be allowed to study maths at an elite university.

I am sure it helps alot if your parents are professors!
You don't value and promote a single or even a handful of archetypes. You value and promote a healthy diversity of approaches. Not just diversity amongst individuals but also between institutions. If MIT, Harvard, Stanford all had meaningfully different research philosophies, it wouldn't be quite so obvious how to game the system.

If the NIH gave some grants like they already do, some grants that would target someone like Karikó, some grants that would target reproducibility experts, etc. (in addition to some that may be a combination of such criteria) it would be a much more complicated political game to try to be an ideal imposter. You'd still have some but I think there would be many more filtered out, and more true positives kept.

>- Graduate students in year 3+ (median 5 years for PhD) are not taking courses and doing full time research and likely being a TA at the same time. (Tuition costs do not change)

Typically they will only take 1 credit after entering candidacy though, down from 9, so overall tuition drops significantly.

They take copyright over the submitted manuscript. I maintain copyright over preprints. Anyway, the point of writing the research is to distribute it, not to own copyright over it, so I don't see the problem. You can choose the venue, and not all venues take copyright over the submitted manuscript. If copyright is important, then choose one of those venues.

Coroutines are always scheduled on a Dispatcher; if you don't provide one in launch() it will use Dispatchers.Default.

But under the hood, Dispatchers schedule on Executors, usually ThreadPoolExecutor. So the more apt technology to compare to is VirtualThread with structured concurrency, and the takeaway should be that coroutines are an ergonomic way to manage concurrent work. Secondarily, they _can_ improve performance by reducing the number of OS threads, if the alternative were to naively spawn them and wait on I/O or something.
> Didn't we just try this in Gaza?

Not really. The territory abandoned was systematically kept down to the point where any kind of improvement was destroyed again. And much more is being destroyed right now. What do you think all these bombings will do short of just creating the next 20 years of personnel supply for Hamas?

> Abandoned the territory settled?

No, it wasn't just abandoned. The houses that were there were gone and the houses that were built were demolished. So the land was barren. That's not giving the other party a chance, that's the kind of scorched earth tactics that make things worse.

> Imagine if Hamas controlled both Gaza and the West Bank? Israel would be destroyed.

Yes, Hamas is a problem, we are in agreement on that. But so is the Israeli government, the problem is to get them both to back down from their violence-begets-more-violence cycle. And it looks like things are going to get a lot worse rather than better. So you can expect many more Israeli lives to be lost as well as many more Palestinian lives.

> UN peacekeeping is bullshit. What country is going to trust the UN to guarantee it's security. There is UN peacekeeping in Lebanon where attacks against Israel are and were coming from, they do zilch. The history of UN peacekeepers in the region is that at any hint of violence they move away.

I have had family members in Unifil deployments and that's not what I hear. Both sides criticize the UN peacekeepers as being on the side of their enemy, that's usually a good sign.

> On the Israeli side nobody will trust the Palestinians over anything.

Makes you wonder why there isn't a solution possible. But: with the dubious ways in which Hamas was financed there may be enough blame to go around for everybody.

> There's also a minority that believes the entire land belongs to Israel and screw the Palestinians.

Unfortunately that minority has a disproportionate effect on Israeli politics. It should be obvious that this is one of the root causes of this ongoing conflict.

> On the Palestinian side (IMO) there's a majority that is unwilling to take any settlement other than all the Jews should leave the middle east. There's fractures and nobody that represents all of them that can agree and/or enforce any agreement. So here we are.

I'm missing the proxy war that the Arab world has been fighting against Israel using the Palestinians in just as much a cynical way as the right wing in Israel has been using them to keep the conflict alive as much as possible.
I think the premise that it's viable to "concentrate together when needed" is false. A key tactic on Ukraine's front line, due to the nature of the enemy and the nature of Ukraine's weapons, is dispersion. Concentrating force for any reason before Russia's overwhelming artillery has always proven costly. When that premise fails the utility of point defense like Gepard fails. The only way to salvage it is to imagine Gepards in quantities that a.) don't exist and b.) can't be crewed for lack of trained manpower.

I seek a larger force multiplier: a system that can effectively cover large areas by a small number of men at low cost. One Gepard could pay for many light fox hunting UAVs. With sufficient autonomy a large number of these could be operated from secure areas by small crews. The system should be capable of reaching behind enemy lines to preempt UAVs before they reach combat areas; a capability the can't be matched by any point defense.
This is an opinion piece and I would say biased. Just to picks some random piece: "For years, Israeli leaders have advocated ethnic cleansing, euphemistically called “transfer” " is totally false. We're talking about some fringe crazies, no Israel leader has ever advocated for this.

The article talks about how schools in Israel view Arabs. Well, you should see how schools in Gaza or the West Bank view Israelis:

https://www.memri.org/reports/plo-summer-camps-%E2%80%93-par...

https://www.memri.org/reports/palestinian-authority-schoolbo...

I would agree there's likely some stereotyping of Arabs and some "freedom" with the historical narrative. But there's also lots of teaching of principles of free society, equal rights, etc. The evidence is the large number of Israeli who have been trying to work towards some sort of peace, helping Palestinians, fighting against injustice.

"Other Israeli political, military and religious leaders have at different times described Palestinians as “a cancer”, “vermin”, and called for them to be “annihilated”. They are frequently portrayed as backward and a burden on the country." -> references?

If you ask a mother whose child has been killed or kidnapped what that mother thinks about the killers or kidnappers you might get "animals" as an answer. Emotions are definitely running high right now everywhere and you're going to get some of that coming out. As a rule though Israel does not de-humanize all Palestinians, there are many Palestinian Israelis (> 1 million) living side by side with Israelis. That's just a false narrative.
This is great. But I don't understand the result you get for things like 'peanut'. I'm assuming it means peanuts aren't regarded as toxic to dogs, cats and horses, but the result under the input section seems so random.

Yes, there are many different purposes of a modern university. There are plenty of non-R1 universities that focus more on education. No model is "better", but it might be more or less appropriate for different students or professors depending on their goals.
When I was a child , so a long time ago, at the Huntsville ( huntsville alabama )Space Museum they had a demo that was something that looked like a pie pan that was 10 feet across with Mylar stretched across it. And a tripod that was attached at the edge and stood over it. At the top there was a cone of metal and inside the cone was a copper tube that ran up one of the tripod legs and spiralled around the inside of the cone then ran down one of the other legs. They had a household vacuum cleaner attached to a tube at the bottom of the pie pan. When the turned on the vacuum the Mylar got sucked down and it made a parabolic surface. The sunshine was then focused into the cone and the turned on the water and it ran through the copper tube . It came out a stream of water for a few minutes but then turned to steam. Always loved that contraption.

OK, let's for a second assume that all this crap started on Oct 7. What exactly have the Palestinians' in West Bank got to do with any of this shit? 1k arrests, settlers gunning down people walking down the street there.

I feel similarly, though I also think that, provided the intent to track and profile-build is made clear to users up-front before they opt in to using something, the onus shifts to them (the user).

(OTOH if that intention is conveyed in p. 37 of an EULA in dense legalese, it seems clearly designed to swamp the user. I'd like to see a lot more attention paid to this in legal circles.)

We’re talking about a “political movement” elected on an anti-corruption platform that dismantled elections and siphons every dollar of economic aid it can. Let’s call it what it is: a military organization willing to violate international law in exchange for cash. Political movements don’t launch coordinated air, land, and sea attacks or build extensive tunnel networks. As with their anti-corruption campaign, their demonstrated strategic imperative is transparently not in service of the stated political objective.
Many severance packages preclude filing such lawsuits as part of accepting the package. Also at another large tech company I have seen statistics including age published by the company when they make layoffs that would tend to refute any possible age discrimination. Easy for a company to fire a few more juniors to get the age stats clean, then quickly rehire. So the law is in place, but in practice it is limited in effect.

On the hiring end, age discrimination is rampant.

By the mid-90's this was relatively common.
The Problem with Jon Stewart,” which launched on AppleTV+ in September, appears to be a flop, as it trails far behind its competitors on broadcast and cable TV, according to Bloomberg.

The show’s first episode was seen by just 180,000 US homes in the first week it debuted last fall, measurement firm Samba TV said. That number dropped to 78% to 40,000 by its fifth episode, which aired in early March.

Stewart’s comic rival John Oliver, meanwhile, pulled in viewership of 844,000 US homes for a March episode of his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,”
For reference The Daily Show with Jon Stewart had 1 million viewers in 2003, and by the time Jon left the program was averaging 2.5 million viewers.

I am a long happy user of authenticated TOR hidden services for my secure admin access to ssh servers and some self-hosting services, and it is my last hope when even tailnets, meshnets fail to reach. I2PD c++ IP2 nodes are very helpful as backup authenticated hidden services for some of my servers, as in general TOR is more stable but sometimes I2P can work around when TOR fails.

Tor is simpler, better audited, and I don't mind too much the little centralization of the authority TOR nodes, plus the pluggable transports.

I2P is more complete (UDP, protocol libraries, nice hidden service client and server port handling, etc) its somewhat chaotic decentralization is a mixed bless, but that's the point. I like the tradeoff of mixing my bandwidth with others bandwidth (pay with some bandwidth now to save my rear-end later when needed).

I2PD c++ node is pleasant for me because it is compact and clean for my needs (authenticated hidden service SSH access and self-hosted web services) and I can manage it almost like the TOR node. The original IP2 Java node is good for end users, handy with integrated IRC, email, and file sharing services.
