And to flip that around again, why is it OK to have the majority of college admissions going to women? Especially in some fields women dominate, e.g. 95% of veterinary students are women. Is that OK and if so, why is the opposite a problem?

The idea of a genetic "line" is not the concept people think it is.

Humans already share 99% of their DNA. Of the 1% that creates our differences, after 5 to 7 generations, depending on how you look at it, the similarity of your descendent's DNA to your DNA would essentially be indistinguishable from noise or random variance in people who you aren't even related to at all.

Talk of lines and blood and bloodlines has more to do with people really wanting to not disappear into oblivion.
Are those oxygen monitoring apps any good? (including the Apple Watch one, I mean). I remember that during Covid there was a big gap between what these devices were telling their users and the numbers measured by actual medical equipment (with the latter being those closer to the truth, of course).

>So may I suggest that wage stagnation came from no longer having a underclass of women and people of color to be underpaid for their labor, and frozen out from the general market?

Wage stagnation is everywhere in the west, even more than in the US, and Europe didn't have an underclass of women and people of color 50 years ago in the prosperous times when a factory worker could buy an apartment and support a family, so let's not point the fingers there.

Wage stagnation exists because all the fruits of increased productivity gains in workers' labor from the last decades have been skimmed at the top instead of trickled down to the workers in the trenches.

Secondly, it exists because of the last 30+ years of corporate mergers and acquisitions have a concentrated a large piece of the pie of certain industries into the hands of only a few ultra-large players who get to dictate the global market in terms of wages and prices, due to the lack of competition, meaning workers have less bargaining power for wages and consumers less bargaining power for prices.

Thirdly, globalization and lifting of trade barriers, meant that those few ultra-large players left after mergers and acquisitions, could tap into places that offered the lowest wages, lowest taxes, and lowest regulations in terms of environment and labor, enjoying all those benefits simultaneously instead of having to compromise, meaning they could have their cake and eat it too, resulting in massive more profits for them and a global race to the bottom for most of those working for them.

>Americas golden age is not really a time with conditions that are easy to replicate.

America is still living a golden age, due to being the world reserve currency, dominating the finance sector, the software sector (the only one with major growth and the most profitable), being land, energy and resource abundant, having no enemies at its borders, having the worlds biggest and most power-projecting military, and its citizens enjoy one of the highest purchasing power in the world.

Is that not a golden age or what? Most countries would be happy to tick just one of those boxes, let alone all of them combined. I think some Americans often forget just how privileged they are compared to the vast majority of the world.
Ok, let's paint this picture:

You scan a QR code to connect to someone's wifi.

All your traffic can now be captured. DNS requests will be logged. Some traffic might be redirected. When will the connection be closed? What if someone shows you a different QR code, and you're not that tech-savvy. For example a phishing webpage which asks for the user's password. Many many many people will still just enter their single-password-for-everything.
What if the QR code is a deeplink to an app.. for example to a conversation on or whatever. Or maybe someone was previously logged in into some account.
> If they offer stability, they hardly offer nothing.

You're somehow assuming that those who are attractive and have something to offer in terms of romantic relationships have an exclusive monopoly on economic stability.

> Why is it okay to leverage your looks and personality, but not stability?

You can try to leverage anything you'd like. Hell, pick up juggling and work on that too. The point is that you are not entitled to a spouse just because you hold a job, and if you are a lousy person then don't be surprised when you repel people. You don't own people and you are not entitled to abuse others by holding your income over them. If you want paid services, hire someone. In the meantime, don't be surprised that people with free will opt to stay with people they actually like and stay away from creeps who think they are entitled to other people.
There are non-medical versions of CGMs that are available from a wide variety of companies, primarily for those who are interested in monitoring their sports performance.

Technically, you still have to get a prescription to buy them, but the companies help you with that by connecting you to online doctors for the prescription. Oh, and they tend to cost more than if you had a medical CGM prescribed for you by your endocrinologist. I guess that's why they're so profitable for the companies selling them.

They achieved what they initially wanted, and left Google closer to its peak. At some point, you want to move on. Especially when you quit as a winner, and now you can relax or deal with more fun and interesting ventures.

Coming in to save a company in a decline is not as fun and satisfying as creating something new and awesome from scratch. Especially when you’ve made enough to not have to worry about it ever, so that you can afford to only pursue things that are fun for you.

Plus, “decline” of Google is relative. Sure, they have not a good reputation anymore, and they do not push out new and exciting products that kill it in the market. But guess what? The share price isn’t tanking, so from the perspective of Sergei and Larry (who are still significant shareholders), that decline isn’t hitting them much.

Look at IBM. They’ve been dead in the eyes of the tech industry as an innovator and a success story for the longest time. Their Watson for medical applications is mostly considered to be somewhere between a failure and a scam. However, their share price is doing just fine.

> Could one shaft serve a lower set of floors while another shaft serves a higher set of floors to minimise 'wasted' time travelling up and down?

That's actually completely standard for very tall buildings, and of course the shafts that e.g. serve only the higher floors don't go all the way down, because the space used by elevators becomes an even bigger problem than the travel time as buildings get taller.

Another option to increase capacity is to have double-decker elevator cars that serve different floors.
Blood oxygen monitors aren’t event expensive. You can buy little ones that clamp onto your fingertip for like $20. Seems odd that they couldn’t use their weight to secure a license. Where is the Apple that refused to have the “Intel inside” stickers on their laptops?

They in fact do offer their own "consumer-targeting smartwatch, the W1 series, [with] FDA clearance for providing blood oxygen saturation levels." (Source: the article we're all discussing.)

Link to their smartwatch: https://www.masimopersonalhealth.com/products/masimo-w1 It's actually in the same price range as the Apple Watch Series 9.

So their reluctance to license the patent to Apple may be probably partly about competing with Apple, partly about Apple's alleged bad-faith behavior in past dealings with them, and possibly also disinclination on the part of Apple to pay them for a license. But not about Apple's retail price point per unit.
FYI, NYC does not have a soft drinks or any sweetened drinks tax.

Yes, the tax is supposed to dissuade people, but obviously if you are paying $5 per mile in tax to use the pickup truck, but earn $20 per mile profit from the work accomplished using it, people will still be able to buy and use the truck for a productive purpose.
Thank you, kopecs! It is nice to see a voice of reason here. Sometimes it helps me to remember that people are not that far evolved from other primates.

> The fix for a broken safety culture in aviation isn't arresting mechanisms so that it's impossible to crash: it's addressing whatever series of events and incentives led to the captain making that decision, whether that means providing extra training, or finding the source of pressure from his superiors to avoid the diversion.

sure but at the end of the day the decision is mostly made by a single (or multiple) human being(s) who can make honest mistakes or be arrogant (this sounds like what happened in the Mangalore case). in any case, having an arresting mechanism would safe lives. no matter how many hours of additional training is given, they can still make mistakes. even if it doesn't get used in 100,000 uses but if it saves 10 lives on the 100,001th use, it's worth it.

do you mind providing some sources for that? afaik there were no airlines accident last year anywhere that resulted in a loss of live.

sure. i'm giving out examples of poor safety. nowhere did i say this is the leading cause of avoidable deaths. this is one of the many i have seen there.
Slots aren't meaningful. There is very little random variation in performance on the event. More slots per capita just means more room for less capable people to compete and lose.
The problem with AsciiDoc is that its only maintained implementation AsciiDoctor is written in Ruby, which is a nice server programming language, but not the most logical choice for a multi-platform desktop documentation tool.

Training for Active Killer Incidents
I hate the term "brain drain".

I have a very similar background. The elite schools he talks about after passing those exams early. Hundreds of exercises, day after day, for a decade on end, classes, after school programs. Eventually a PhD.

I'm a human being, not some statistic to bolster the GDP of some corrupt country that doesn't give a damn about me. It's not "brain drain" it's just building a better life for yourself. Other countries want to give me a better life, to give my kids a better life, where they don't need to deal with corrupt cops that shake us down, doctors that demand bribes to provide the most basic care, wars, etc.

> Brain drain is a sad reality few try to counter.

My extended family was abused, expropriated, and at times just killed for centuries by the political system of these countries while not letting us leave. I'm so glad that my generation is the last one to have any ties to that place. Everyone in my family got educated and left.

Brain drain is the best thing that's ever happened to us. It's not something to counter.
Yes. It makes them look like they ate too much.
Yes! Firesheep was the extension, and I think the combination of that and LetsEncrypt (which was in part a reaction to Firesheep) were the reason the web went from almost entirely decrypted by default to almost entirely encrypted by default in a matter of months. The capabilities had been there for years, but Firesheep made session hijacking a literal one-click affair and vividly highlighted the danger of unencrypted web traffic - it’s maybe the most impactful bit of white-hat hackery of all time.

> Copyright only gives you control over copies, end even then there are limits on that control.

If that were true, nobody would be afraid of the GPL's. When you buy a painting, you get an implicit license to do pretty much what you want and resell it, but you still can't put it in your YouTube videos (yeah, nobody cares, but "technically..."), create your own gallery, or put it on a stage ... but we're not talking about paintings. Not directly, anyway.

We are talking about implicit licenses, though; people's work is listed online with some implicit license. At the crux of this AI issue is whether or not there is an implied license when AI scans stuff and, if not, whether it is covered under fair use.

For example, my blog posts and short stories. I don't care if someone uses it for training, but if it is over-fitting and spitting out my stories as if it were its own ... I'd be pretty furious.

I'm interested to see what happens, but I have a sinking suspicion that for some AI companies, it won't be an issue (non-profit, actually research motivated, etc.) and probably will win a "fair use" argument. Then others create AI from people's code they host, doing it purely for profit; I highly doubt they would be able to defend themselves.

I don't see where am I. Your opinion is that retail is not nuisance is, you know, just your opinion. American zoning is literally based on nuisance - SFH zoning excludes nuisance sources such as multi-family housing and retail, multi-family zoning excludes retail because it's even bigger sources of nuisance than multi-family housing itself and then there is commercial zoning that is free for all.

but home charging is typically during hours where renewable output is at its lowest. would be amazing if/when all EVs are automatically grid-connected when not in motion. instead of expensive centralized energy storage in giant megapacks, we have low-cost (but stochastic) decentralized storage that is available when renewable generation is at its peak.

It’s not only useful for COVID, that just got it mainstream attention. If used along with the sleep tracking, it seems like the O2 could signal someone to get treated for sleep apnea. The Apple Watch Ultra is geared toward hikers and people going off the beaten path, for those in the mountains, this is something to monitor at high elevations. It can also signal the user of heart and lung issues that they’d want to get eyes on.

(Not the OP)

The "C" and "A" in CAP theorem have very specific definitions in the context of the theorem, that isn't the same as, say, the "C" in ACID. The CAP theorem in its original formulation makes no claim about latency, or eventual consistency, or any of these things. It is a very trivial logical conclusion.

"Consistency" just means when a node is queried, you either get the latest read, or you get an error.

"Availability" just means when a node is queried, you always get something. You never get an error.

---

Given this, we can show with a simple example that in the face of a network partition, it is impossible to get C and A simultaneously.

Suppose there's a Leader node and a Follower node with the two being kept in sync, but say there's a network partition between the two, so the Follower cannot reach the Leader.

Say I changed my name in the Leader from "old-name" to "new-name".

If I ask the Follower node what my name is, what should it return?

The follower can't know that the update has occurred, so you can see that it can only do one of two things

- The follower could return an error (it has C, but not A)

- The follower could return "old-name" (it has A, but not C)

Joined Google in 2014 - from the people on my team I heard the place was much more magical in the years before. When Sundar started I remember the first thing people were upset about was the handling of the holiday gift - Google changed it to a donation to charity instead and the communication of it upset. It wasn’t that we were not getting a holiday gift anymore (everyone acknowledged we had grown too large for that to last forever). It was that things were communicated as if it was not a cost saving measure and instead phrased that it was net generosity. IMO those kinds of things are what snowballed into Google becoming less of a magical place to work over time.
The article claims "The limitations on financial claims will (probably) not make this a lucrative line of mass litigation."

I wonder how true that is given how lawyers have leveraged laws like patent, ADA etc into lucrative mass litigation?
In my life experience, anecdotal data always signals trends weeks, months, years before the experts catch on.

I have never seen it otherwise. Whenever I talk to a range of people, they all tell me X is happening to them more often, the media take another 6+ months to report on it.
