Are you talking about male feminists? They would seem to be the exception that proves the rule, especially as I made a distinction between males (who are largely masculine, by definition) and females (who aren't). Given that feminism - as much as the party line is that it's for everyone - is, certainly of late, solely for promoting women's interests without regard to or at the expense of men and boys. The notion that masculinity is toxic is not something that comes from men, after all.

Perhaps, given that there is a bimodal distribution of masculine and feminine traits across males and females, I could reformulate my statement and make it more precise: those that are of a more feminine expression of being might require or feel they require prior representation in order to give younger people in the same group the confidence to try for such a position. Males (in general, due to masculinity) do not, which is why they do not see the need for any representation (humans tend to think everyone thinks like them).

The real problem is in how both views could be reconciled - that of needing representation versus the more male view of acquiring position through competition (and thus implied competence). Hence, we have the DEI/affirmative action debate.

My own view is that competition should win over representation, but that everyone should be shown how they can compete effectively. Doesn't the history of sport - of competition - show us that every shape or skill can provide a competitive advantage in different contexts, so the key is to get a team to make those contexts arise more often and thus improve one's chances of winning?

In short, show girls how to compete and remove the need to patronise them as women. Maybe that's me being male, but I at once believe in merit and competition, and in women's ability to be effective in most roles (as I believe about men).
Collecting data isn’t so much the issue as having central control over the millions of information bubbles that people live in. Though that’s a power that Facebook, Xitter, and Instagram also have at their disposal
I assume it's simply a matter of caring about voter opinions. The one that bothered to complain is presumed to represent the 1000s who care about the issue but not enough to call.
Lol. If you don't subscribe, how do you get the latest developments from the subreddits you love?
Well because those constituents vote for them and they have to win elections. If they don't listen, they will literally be voted out by those same people (assuming there is significant volume)

Considering the current geopolitical climate, the fact that these companies are contributing to the Chinese economy negatively impacts national security and is socially irresponsible

I can think of several very wealthy tech industry women off the top of my head or tech adjacent women like Jeff Bezos ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, who is known for giving money away. I'm not going to assume these women are cheapskates so it must be some other reason. Maybe some issue with WWC leadership?
I have what is a rather rare disease in the United States. I recognized it for what it was about a month in, purely by accident -- I recalled an interesting article I had read when I was about twelve. It took roughly a year to convince the appropriate doctors to run the tests, yes because they were fixated on the "hoofbeats, horses, not zebras" mantra, despite my symptoms aligning so perfectly you'd think a constellation had been traced on onionskin paper. Each specialist who drifted through behaved like a sage in the tale of the six blind sages and the elephant. Then you consider the overwork -- why? It's hazing, but we know that it causes people to underperform.

To be clear, that would mean that all stocks would be perfectly priced based on available information. But available information presumably includes uncertainties, and some companies will do better or worse than expected. It would mean that there'd be no gain in purchasing one company over another, or that there's no "cheap deals", but it wouldn't mean that money in the market wouldn't grow, nor change the fact that the S&P is likely your best option.

It might be that's all you meant by the above, in which this is merely an elaboration.

Early in my career, I interned for a member of Congress. Calling your member of Congress does absolutely nothing. An intern, or a staff assistant, takes down your information and someone called a legislative correspondent responds to you, but signs the members name to the bottom of it.
> I don't think TikTok is itself any worse than our own domestic brain liquefying apps like Twitter

Do you honestly believe that a disinformation source whose parent organization granted a board seat to a political apparatus that will jail you for holding up a blank sheet of paper during a protest is the same as Twitter?

Because I find that difficult to believe.

I suppose if Twitter integrated a serving senior White House official into whatever shit-sandwich is its current leadership structure, and it was the policy of the current administration to jail persons for holding up blank sheets of paper at a protest, I could understand.

People, and websites, are allowed to be terrible. You can't really stop that. Terrible people and websites under the control of despotic regimes that will jail you for holding up a blank sheet of paper during a protest are a different matter altogether.

The depressing part is that U.S. government structure and the 3 branches of government are part of the 4th/5th grade curriculum. This implies that the (presumably pre-teen/teenaged) kids who called Congress had already passed that part of their schooling, and so they're going to grow up into age 18+ voters that still don't know what Congress is.

More and more communism. If you don't let some people fail, then the entire system will eventually fail and take down everyone with it.

You cannot create a utopia. It's a dangerous hubris that destroys entire countries. Some people necessarily fail, and the best hope is for lessons to be learned, and education to prevail and teach people how to avoid it.

Let's watch while California creates a permanent underclass that are hopelessly trapped depending on government help. Let's watch as people's feelings empower bad decisions that do the exact opposite of what they think it will do, again and again.
If generating left to right, it seems to me the condition almost always hold that both the number of empty cells and filled cells to the immediate left and to the lower left, directly underneath, and lower right (four known neighbors at the time of generation) is always equal to two, except occasionally you get three filled, but never four, which would create a thick wall. I’m not sure about the left edges, those would only have two known neighbors (directly underneath and lower right)Al
So maybe with a good intial rowthat’s all you need to do.
They nuked ZTE and Huawei back in 2018 so that they couldn't compete with Western high-tech firms.

Then banned ASML tech and such like so that Chinese chip-makers couldn't step in to help. That's not exaggeration, that's official US foreign policy.

Urging companies to de-risk. The CHIPS act to onshore semiconductor tech is another prong in an attack on who? Not on Europe, not on Taiwan … on China of course.

I agree with the video that stock market is waking up to the back-firing. Same back-firing as Western sanctions on Russia over Ukraine.

Gross under-estimation and rank Western hubris in both cases.

At the end of the day, though, you have to do something to change the situation, and just accepting the status quo means you'll just be stuck there forever. Their advice might be harsh, but it's not poor, it's very even keeled.
I'm not sure either. Public school's primary purpose is to teach you just a few things:

1. The mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell)

2. You're made up of DNA and everything is atoms with electrons that zip around on little orbital paths

3. Stalactites vs. stalagmites

4. Crocodiles vs. alligators

5. The Holocaust was seriously bad

6. World history consisted of the US revolutionary war, the Civil war (fought over ending slavery), the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the Western Front in WWII (which began in 1941 and ended in 1945)

You were probably looking out the window for a few years when they continually announced that the mitochondria (POTC) was an absorbed bacterium.
I believe you're mistaken in thinking that calling your rep doesn't matter. They keep track of what their constituents call them about, totaling it up at the end of the week or month.

It's one of the ways they keep track of what their voters care about.

This was from a friend who interned there 20 years ago, things may have changed.
EE here - he technically has to comply with FCC Part B since he's selling in the US. That said, the hobbyist keyboard community has been pulling this for a while for small group orders without issues. Pre-certified modules are helpful, but stuff gets weird when it's on a board, so no guarantees. The fact that it's on a single layer board doesn't instill confidence since that typically means less than ideal return paths that can cause problems.
Good point. I think things would have naturally gone this way eventually but direct market manipulation forced Chinese companies and government to focus more.
Ah yes, McKinsey, notable experts in decentralized organization and anarchist decision-making practices - although I suppose they make it up as they go along with everything else, so why not this, too.

On the front page he says:

If you take that lifetime registrations that's not so good.

They aggregate the responses and tally them up statistically. The assumption is that for every person who bothers to call in, 10+ people, perhaps even hundreds, feel the same way. (I assume they'd model based on the relative number of total calls across all issues vs. voters in the district). Then this becomes data for the representative to know how their constituents feel about the issue.

The rep isn't going to listen to you specifically - you get a form letter back (sometimes years later), and the only thing that matters is the issue and whether you're yay or nay. But because so few people call in, it makes your opinion (on that issue, at least) weight much more highly than the average voter.
Isn't the workaround for this just ... actually submitting the issue? Then presumably GitHub won't delete the file.

I was talking about proprietary OAuth2 authentication protocol implementations in that statement. Like how the Thunderbird OAuth2 protocol for gmail is incompatible with the one for yahoo email, and so on. Which is different from normal protocols like imap/pop3 where the implementations are compatible across companies.

I was not speaking in the context of exchange but in the more general sense of new HTTPS based protocol flavors being added to Thunderbird regularly.

> can't someone start a CCTLD (it's only $250K)

No, they can't. ccTLDs are associated with countries. There's no process for creating one that doesn't involve having IANA recognize you as a country.

You're probably thinking of the new gTLD process, which has only been open for applications once, for a brief period in 2012. It's not open to new applications, and the process for applicants was much more involved than a single payment.
What problems did you encounter?
VCs care. The way they make decisions has changed wildly in different ways multiple times within just the last 5 years.

There’s a very good argument to be made that they shouldn’t care and that their investment theses should be more stable as well as their criteria, but that’s an academic argument that doesn’t do a whole lot for the founders who have been attempting to fundraise amid those varied VC spasms.
I recently had a conversation with a 33 year old who I would consider both intelligent and well-educated, including some college. His uncle is a lawyer (I met him at some family+friends party or another) who he spent a lo of time around.

I mentioned something about a SCOTUS opinion and he was very surprised that the court published its opinions. We delved a bit further and he also didn't realize that you could read bills or laws or executive orders.

I have never been more alarmed or scared about the future of our democracy.

The CHIPS act isn’t an attack on anybody. It’s a recognition that it’s ridiculous for the. US to depend on a foreign country for a fundamental product on which every individual, every household, every business, every government and the entire military is dependent on.

And as a side benefit it’s also good old fashioned industrial policy.
It's also cheaper per head than Google's business offering so it makes sense even for small business.
I would love to see a VR "game" where it's possible to level up social skills via LLM backend. There are some prompt engineers on reddit that have come up with great prompts, but there is definitely a niche for making a seamless product for people to practice being in uncomfortable situations.

If anyone is interested in working together, reply. I started working with TTS, ASR, and LLM API's because this piqued my curiosity after attending a few meetups and going in "cold" without much social interaction before the meeting. I imagine a proper app could give people superpowers.
