Individual stalls is the way to go Image credit @assignedmale.bsky.social
Four-panel comic by Sophie Labelle.
Panel 1: how some people imagine gender-neutral public bathrooms. A row of toilets sit next to each other with no privacy screening.
Panel 2: what a gender-neutral public bathroom actually looks like. A row of doors, each with a green or red "occupied" indicator.
Panel 3: a collection of fully-enclosed stalls, ideally with soap and a sink. I don't want going to the toilet to be a social experience, thank you.
Panel 4: gender-segregated spaces, especially in schools, are where violence and bullying occur. Gender-neutral bathrooms are the safer and inclusive option

One striking characteristic of Grothendieck’s
mode of thinking is that it seemed to rely so little
on examples. This can be seen in the legend of the
so-called “Grothendieck prime”. In a mathematical
conversation, someone suggested to Grothendieck
that they should consider a particular prime num
ber. “You mean an actual number?” Grothendieck
asked. The other person replied, yes, an actual
prime number. Grothendieck suggested, “All right,
take 57.”

Mathematician here. These are wacko mathematicians; don't listen to them. Most mathematicians I know are very excited about AI's ability to solve difficult problems, and have been since Haken and Appel solved the Four Color Theorem in the 1970s

Code explanation: - If I send a change to the cloud, then you are "behind" the cloud until you pick it up - If you have made a change, then you are "ahead of" the cloud until you send it - You can be both behind and ahead of the cloud

Math explanation: - let A be a subset of another set B - A is "open" if, for each x in A, A contains a neighborhood of x - A is "closed" if, for each (x_1, x_2, ..., x_n, ...) in A with a limit x_∞, A contains x_∞ Note A can be both open and closed

Athletes (much less parents of athletes) have no right to their competitors' private medical data. They have a right to - know what the rules are - know whether their competitors are following the rules That's it
