A better solution would be to do gender-blind hiring, not gender quotas.

No. This is mathematical nonsense. Let's say there's a fitness function for each candidate in a candidate pool. If you filter candidates by any criteria, the expectation of fitness function will be less or equal to expectation be

As interesting the assumption that mind can't work on classical computation could be, it's still not grounded in anything but assumption of humans being special. It's also wrong to take two unknowns and assume they have the

This is probably going to be a lot, but... 1. Would you advertise this tool as a visualization to help with future research and understanding cells OR a possible diagnostic aid? 2. Is there any project that aims to apply these tools to find

I'm kinda surprised this task isn't limited by RAM or IO. There should be no benefit of multi-threading except for blocking I/O.

Higher resolution - no. Resolution is limited due to diffraction, so adding more pixels doesn't necessarily add more details. Better images in the dark - possibly.

It's a nitpick, but a necessary one. x264 is a codec. An implementation of H.264 standard. x264 is loved because it is very optimized and fine-tuned. There are plenty of H.264 implementations that aren't. We're probably not

Does FOSTA apply to VPS providers? Do VPS providers have to be wary of what sort of tenants they host? Edit: What if I rent a VPS and host a porn site?

This won't work. Purely because of thermodynamics. We already have devices that suck water out of the air - dehumidifiers. They don't collect enough water to drink. Similar concepts were tried before: - https://www.i

If do-notation is the solution, does that mean that adding syntax sugar for nested functions / promises in JS would solve the problem of callback hell as well? I somehow doubt that.

I'd like to point out that do-notation in Haskell is a syntax sugar for something nasty. Let's look at the example: do a <- getData b <- getMoreData a c <- getMoreData b d <- getEvenMoreDa

The answer to that is `Either` monad (similar to `Result` in Rust).

C and Rust (can) have different calling conventions. C is the de-facto standard calling convention. When you mark a function as `extern "C"`, it means that it can be called as if it is a C function.

I agree with your mission statement. It's important to match the demographics of the population with the demographics of trial users. It's important to prevent as many deaths as we can. It's important to account for differenc

According to the definition, the term applies when local majority is country's minority. If you're no longer country's minority, you cannot be majority-minority.

And I agree with all of those statements, but phrased as it is now, it's blatantly wrong.

by m1el 9y ago
Do you find the opening statement "With more than 50 percent of the population estimated to be a minority by 2044" ridiculous? When did we start ignoring what words mean? That's not what the word "minority" means. T
