Metal expansion joints can't hold a vacuum.

Morally speaking, if your company can't afford to pay all of its employees a liveable wage, then it doesn't deserve to exist.

That'd be true if all hedge funds were actually trying to just beat the S&P. The vast majority, however, aren't trying to do that all; they're trying to create different risk/return profiles than you get by just indexing large-cap US companies.

The paper proves that the smallest cardinality of a set of integers (such that every finite subset has infinite intersections and has no almost-intersections) is equal to the smallest cardinality of a tower.

Not all uncountable infinities are the same cardinality.

The most cogent criticisms of liberalism come from the left, not the right.

When I entered my info I got a message saying they do not think I'd been affected by the hack. So if you get a different message, its probably safe to assume you're affected.

No, because the idea that JP is a hack is not a controversial opinion among academics.

Take everything Jordan Peterson says with a massive mound of salt. He has a long history of spouting off controversial opinions on topics without much (if any) evidence backing those opinions.

Except your generality is not at all self-evident.

Haidt's ideas are widely discredited among academics in sociology, psychology, and philosophy. He's peddling pseudo-science that just so happens to make conservatives seem more 'balanced' than liberals.

> ...the absolute garbage that critical theory has been pumping out for the past, I don't know, 30 to 40 years.

I've found that the only people who spout nonsense like this haven't actually studied any critical theory.

It takes a lot of hubris (all too common in the software engineering community) to suggest that Marx and Hegel, two of the most influential philosophers of all time, produced nothing of meaning.

> What if you run an online payroll service?

Then you should already be treating your data in this way. If you're not, then I'm glad you're being forced to now.

As for your other point, sure. Customers should absolutely have a say in what happens to their data.

> You will basically need to hire full-time compliance officers to deal with this. The big tech companies already have compliance officers, but GDPR is so massively invasive to businesses that even small companies now need compliance officers.

Or they could, I don't know, just not collect that data in the first place.

Cuba's not really the best example. The highest literacy rates on the planet, some of the best doctors in the world, and zero homelessness, all while being embargoed by the largest economy in existence. Not really that shabby all things considered.

> Solution: only allow trades that are in accord with the students' submitted preferences. That is, if Alice prefers Central to Devonshire, and Bob prefers Devonshire to Central, then we could allow Alice and Bob to switch if their submitted rankings indicated that these moves were consistent with their desires. There would be no incentive to lie.

This is just false. You're still incentivized to place popular schools farther up than you otherwise would.

Sexual orientation is a protected class. Being a Nazi is not.

This difference isn't hard to understand.

Cultural Marxism has been explicitly anti-Semitic from the beginning, and early adherents argued that it was necessarily anti-Semitic. So people who believe in the conspiracy now are either anti-Semitic themselves, or profoundly ignorant. Neither one is a good look.

In his Jordan Peterson interview he talks about it quite extensively.

He explicitly mentions 'cultural marxism', which is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory from the 60s.

Is it really worth the risk?

Benchmark doesn't need to discredit Travis, he did a mighty fine job of that on his own.

Why in the world would you want to make it socially acceptable to wear a camera on your face?

Its simply not scientific consensus that the kind of differences he was positing actually exist. A handful of studies with tiny sample sizes and questionable statistical techniques does not a consensus make.

The papers he cited are still extremely controversial, they aren't settled science at all. The rest of his sources were Wikipedia links.

I understand the difference between the concepts. Im just saying the FCT result was not a 'surprising one', which the poster I responded to was implying.

Everyone already strongly suspected that the FCT was true. Nobody was surprised by the result, it just took a computer to prove it.

> I'm not saying you shouldn't do it (I wouldn't but you do you) or that you must have more exp to do it. I'm just recommending to be careful. Have fun and good luck!

OP should also definitely consult a lawyer before making this public. Eth advocates love to parrot the 'code is the contract' slogan, but the actual law could very well disagree.

No, I'm making a point that is well-accepted in political philosophy.
