> the absolutist belief that these peoples' lives will be improved by exposing them to a modern education

I haven't seen the documentary, did anyone say that? My point is if you get monetary benefits, then you need to be able to read, write, and do arithmetic. This isn't a controversial idea. We aren't talking about uncontacted tribes. And it's voluntary. Some people want to get education, and they should be able to. The idea the that the government should somehow deny them that is untenable.

And if you think the government should not offer them social security at all then you have a bigger problem.
I'm so sorry that this happened to the author.

I'm also very surprised (and a bit suspicious) that this post was "dead" -- I was about to post the article myself before googling it, and discovering it here. I don't understand why this has been flag-brigaded. This article is absolutely on-topic for Hacker News.
The difference between Trump and all recent presidents is the degree of damage he does with his actions. It's not just a tiny bit more pushing the envelope, as I think your comments suggest. It's just wholesale cynical ignoring of reality. There was so much complaining about Hillary Clinton working on President Bill Clinton's health care, but she didn't have power, she was not employed, she was not sent off to work on 10 things she had no background in, unlike real estate investor and rich kid kushner. There is nepotism to a tremendous degree without any consideration, with the president's daughter, son in law working directly in govt positions, with security clearance. Also the loyalty pledges. HRC was not paid. Trump is in a different ballgame.
An additional bad part of A, if you look at many bootstrap sites, themes and components that aren't built from source projects, is you also wind up with a LOT of bloat for style definitions that aren't even used. Winding up with kludge on top of kludge, in a large project, where eventually you have to deeply namespace everything to overcome some abstract rule for a part of the app/site you can't even find if it's used anymore.
> "The idea behind the "suit" is to enforce sameness; everyone looks stupid but splendid and so no one will stand out. "

So... if everyone is wearing jeans and a sweater (like in my office currently) you'll stand out with a suit?
Again you stated:

>>""My government has taken the action it deems appropriate to defend the country and its citizens, while still protecting the cover of the agent or asset that gave us the intelligence.""

Well then they didn't do that did they?

Your own interpretation of what is and isn't "proper" in matters of intelligence notwithstanding, they failed to do what you are stating above. "They" being your government.

By the way the "deep state" conspiracy narrative is really tiresome.
This is a story about misaligned incentives and social status.

Having the special programs lowers the social status of the demographic it targets, because it suggests those people are not good enough to climb the ladder through meritocratic means. At the time they do lower the hurdle for the demographic seeking to enter the industry and/or get ahead, fairly or otherwise. In otherwords, there is a tradeoff between social status and initial growth.

Whether this is a favorable trade depends largely on where you sit. If you're high up already, you would likely prefer the programs to go away since they hurt your status by associating you with the low-status newbies while not giving you much. On the other hand if you've just submitted your resume on BigTechCo's website like a thousand others, it's much more likely to get read by a human if they have some kind of affirmative action program (at the cost of somebody else's resume not getting read by a human, of course). Once you get in, extra programs and mentorship would also be valuble.

Finally, from the company's perspective, it just wants the statistics-illiterate social media diversity mob off its back while deviating as little from its current HR formulas as possible (since they obviously worked well enough to get them big enough to have to worry about this). This means it'll optimize for visibility and photo-ops and photogenic suit-clad female interns in its annual reports.
The biggest disruption is the quality of the electric drivetrain. We are quickly finding that a "mediocre" electric drivetrain feels better to the average driver than a very good gasoline drivetrain.

That isn't what people intuitively expect, but once that expectation changes, the market is going to see major disruption. Gasoline based powertrains will not be seen as the superior choice by most people 5 years from now.
10 Common Data Structures Explained with Videos and Exercises
They popped up on so many talk radio shows with each host himself voicing first-person experience ads (even John Batchelor), it turned me off right away.

Lifelock, Proflowers, and that beet company use the same strategy. That advertising just has a snake-oil feel to it.

Research and trading have strong information barriers, to avoid just the sort of thing you're suggesting. Banks enforce this very seriously. Search for "Global Analyst Research Settlement" if you want the history.

If an event happened that caused the Earth's atmosphere to not be breatheable in a number of hours, would anyone survive? We may have the technology but do there already exist any artificial independent self-sustaining human habitats on Earth that would survive? We could try to build such habitats now -- it would probably be cheaper than going to Mars -- but I think we would have trouble forcing ourselves to spend the money and effort on it and have trouble keeping it honest (avoiding any cheats where it's mostly independent but still dependent on the Earth's ecosystem for some specific uses) without a separate goal (being on another planet) and a hard forcing factor (an environment that doesn't allow any cheats).
I had the same idea about Web Page Scraping...may be good...

Well, HTML is a stopgap, just as CSS and JS are.

The idea that we're trying to build medium-scale application UIs using a tool set intended to mark up documents with modest formatting requirements is still as crazy as it always was. Pragmatically, we can do it and make stuff work, and because of the compelling advantages of browser ubiquity and the distributed nature of the Web, we put up with the shortcomings, at least for now.

However, none of HTML, CSS or JS is actually very good for full application development. We had better technologies for native applications decades ago. If mainstream operating systems had solved their application deployment, maintenance and security problems within the same time frame, web apps would probably never have existed, and developing modern front-end code for distributed software would probably be much, much easier.

What I really wonder is when this chip would have been released if AMD didn't come out with Ryzen line up in 2017.
Everyone keeps talking about the cars... when it's really about the car factory:

> Ford has 23 global assembly plants that built 6,651,000 cars and trucks in 2016. [...] Elon Musk can imagine a single Tesla factory producing 5.25 million cars per year per assembly line [...].

> If this becomes the way to go for global car makers then Ford has 22 assembly plants it needs to scrap. I wrote scrap rather than sell because if every one of Ford’s competitors is doing the same thing there won’t be any buyers for those old factories.

Do you believe that decisions like this exclude men because women are so much more fragile and need more help than men?

Do you think that men may not need similar help. "intern buddy" doesn't imply a gender role, and maybe should choose to be an inclusive concept instead of exclusive.

The also could have just winged it and made the decision without backing data based on the advice of a gender studies professional.
OK, thanks. I found a good source but doesn't include Malaysia...I'll keep looking.
> I don't write code to get harassed about my use of master/slave vs primary/replica. I just write code.

If all you're there to do is write code, then why even have an opinion on master/slave vs. primary/replica? Caring which is chosen is the opposite of "just coding", so if people prefer primary/replica—which many people do—just change it and get on with the coding. Fighting against it is a complete waste of time. If you spend your time arguing about it, then your claims of "I just write code" are suspect.
I have no doubt that this is a factor is why Tesla is going somewhere - I don't know that this is enough to 'render all that came before obsolete'.

I'm hopeful yet though - I think a transition to electric power for cars would be wonderful - there are currently many drawbacks to electric power, mostly relating to batteries yet still to be overcome.

I have bipolar depression and was already in a bad place mentally, so I found myself feeling crushed and hopeless

My sense is that, in this post, we are getting one of many, many sides of this story.
I'm all for double the memory bandwidth (and more importantly double the memory channels) as long as it's not too expensive. But I'm holding off on buying a new desktop till the AMD Threadripper hits in a few weeks.

I suspect that benchmarks do a really poor job of measuring worst case performance... which is what users notice. Things like UI lag and audio skipping. I suspect double the memory bandwidth (assuming a nice fast M.2 SSD) is the limiting factor for heavy workloads made up of independent tasks.
Yeah -- and you don't lose half your fuel economy by getting the one that goes 0-60 in 4 seconds.
Arrays end up being a bigger pain to deal with when updating.

If the User marks TODO item #17 as complete (or deletes it), you have to either dig through the state array looking for the TODO with the matching ID, which is O(n), right? I'm sure there are times an array is more conventient. These trade offs are in the redux docs.
IIRC, "Continue Watching" shows things you haven't finished watching in most-to-least recent order. There isn't any aspect of "recommendation" to it beyond that; you could go find the worst rated, least recommended content on Netflix, play it for a minute, and it'll be first on your "Continue Watching" list.

Have you ever seen something being _recommended_ after you clicked that button?
> You say that as if it's unusual or unexpected.

Absolutely not :P. Hey, whatever works. But I think many people on this subthread, including me, are wondering whether something more elegant would produce more revenue.
That's what I was saying. The actual `setState()` function can be called with new references from immutable data, the same references that already existed but were mutated, or even no references at all if you mutated. So, literally, `setState()` does not care what process you used to potentially update data before calling it - it just applies a shallow merge of whatever object you passed in to the existing `this.state` object, and then queues a re-render. It's the _rest_ of your code that might care.

The primary reasons to actually update data immutably before calling `setState` are for easy and consistent implementation of `shouldComponentUpdate` / use of `PureComponent`, and general FP principles that immutability should be preferred over mutation.
It's amazing what a little healthy competition can do!
Because it's obvious that white males have all the power and are part of the patriarchy which oppresses all non white males.

It's so obviously correct that you can't even argue about it, and if you do (and you're white and male) you are mansplaining, and if you're not, you have internalized self hatred (which is the patriarchy fault, no less).

It's OK to promote Democrats internally at a company but if you're a Trump supporter you are EVIL. This is also obvious and requires no explanation and cannot be argued.

In all seriousness, this stuff needs to stay out of the professional sphere. It's a swing back in the other direction of toxicity.
If you've spent enough time at the lowest level of gigahertz clocked hardware you know that you'll never be able to even map a single second of a modern computers execution in a lifetime. You will always have to deal with simplification and approximation, which means you might miss a crucial detail.

Finding a bug is usually starting from a very high degree of knowledge about the designed function of the system and verifying at ever higher resolution that it actually performs according to those designed parameters. That's different from trying to understand what a computer does starting from an electron micrograph of the chips and not having access to the software or the wiring diagram. That might lead to useful insights but it wouldn't be understanding.
>LESSON TWO: Learning maths is hard.

I wish this were more widely accepted, rather than the fallacy of "math people". Mastering even undergraduate level mathematics is the single hardest intellectual pursuit any human can undertake. There's no way around it. It's just an insanely hard thing to do. I've been taking remedial math courses in prep for a CS degree after 10 years in the industry, and it is absolutely maddening.
Yes.

And it usually isn't anything as sane as half in the store and half in one other place.

It's like 70% in the store, and 5% in component#1, and 8% in component#2, and 16% in component#3 (duplicating some stuff from component#1 and sorta duplicating some stuff from component#2 with some notes that someone should refactor all this and move those to redux) and the rest of it is only god knows where.

And then there is some hard to track down UI bug because using setState() turns out to be really much slower than you think it is going to be.

But Redux is so boilerplatey and heavy handed that it made sense in each individual case to the original coder/reviewer to not use it.
Hi Peter

I'm late to the party. Posting on the off chance that you are still around. Any reply appreciated, even a couple of words.

Question:

How should I think about entering the US and gaining permission to work?

Background:

Canadian citizen, married to a (naturalized) US citizen (10+ years, kids), and am the breadwinner in our family.

Worked on System Analyst TN1 for 5+ years, switched to H1B until the renewals ran out, then back to TN1.

Moved out of the US in 2012, now living in Japan.

We're considering to move back but don't have a clear idea of what doors are open and which one to aim for.

TN work permission seems unlikely because I've had so many of them and hard to argue "temporary" when I have a US wife and kids.
Greencard, on the other hand seems unlikely because they disregard my current income and earning potential and want my wife to prove she can support me. What is the smart approach?
The TipRanks performance timeline is only 1 year. There are some short-term arbitrage-like opportunities available at this scale, but most opportunities are longer term - when the market has mispriced fundamental long-term value. I wouldn't be surprised if next year RBC capital has no analyst in the top 25.
They don't really need a TLS cert for your domain - they don't host your website; the MX record in your domain just points at a host in one of their domains (for which they have the TLS certificate); and the 'mail.yourdomain' address just redirects to https://www.fastmail.com.

The easiest way would be using a tun/tap interface.
I can sort of see your point. If you're 2 women out of 40 people chances are you already have enough of a thick skin and drive to find the environment comfortable and not wanting any help.

At the same time I bet that if this was offered to, at least some of, the men I've worked with it would take two weeks until everyone was informed of how important the program was for the organisation. While in reality they would use it to create informal networks within the same to further their own careers. Few of them would ever admit being singled out for any other reason than being an exceptional asset to the people around them. A fact that preferably would be indicated by their salary.

I can definitely see how getting special attention could be annoying. But at some point loudly objecting about something because it's only for women becomes not so flattering for women as a group.
I remember hearing someone answer "if the brain was simple enough that we could understand it, it would be so simple that we wouldn't" to that question.

Can a computer compute itself?
Consider for a moment the logistics of moving 14,383 cars per day out of a single factory, nevermind all the parts needed to build them. (assuming a 15 foot long car, its (ballpark number) 43 miles of cars parked end to end.. per day).

The logistics and storage of both material and finished goods are part of why Ford has 22 factories to produce 6.5 million cars.
Another issue beyond the fact that the X299 boards are problematic in terms of how many, and/or what slots you can and can't use seems to be excessive heat and stability in some of the reviews I've seen.

I'm still running a i7-4790K at home, and though I'd like something with more cores... nothing is compelling enough to bring me to switch given the costs involved. If I were building new, would most likely go with an AMD solution.
The Phobos Anomaly? We should keep a close eye on that thing, look out for cacodemon activity...
And this is one of many reasons why Redux encourages you to normalize your state - you can retrieve any item with a couple simple direct lookups (such as `state.entities[type].byId[id]`), rather than mapping over an array comparing item IDs. Granted, O(n) array loops aren't likely to be a real perf issue until you hit fairly large values of N.

As you said, I covered this in the "Structuring Reducers - Normalizing State Shape" and "Immutable Update Patterns" sections of the docs: http://redux.js.org/docs/recipes/reducers/NormalizingStateSh... and http://redux.js.org/docs/recipes/reducers/ImmutableUpdatePat... .

At first glance, that seems like more of a reason for low-end electric cars to disrupt Tesla.
"Oh wow, so you have discovered that after someone buys something, and you keep recommending the same thing, a large number of people go out of their way to buy other stuff to remove the recommendation. So we actually make more money recommending the last thing that they would want to buy?"
Trump won because he ran a better campaign. It's that simple.

And people voted for him because they liked what he had to say. Not sure why you're looking for some magical reason why he was elected.
"there needs to be a better understanding of the fact that the job market is, well, a market, and salaries will adjust based upon the supply of that market"

Completely agree, but you're pointing out a chicken and egg problem. You want 17 year olds that are about to graduate from high school to understand market forces, economics, and a whole lot of information that's just simply not being taught in most high schools. In fact, learning such things is the reason many people go to college in the first place. That's simply too much to ask, so we shouldn't be surprised when those students make the wrong choices because we as a society haven't prepared them to make the right ones. Not only are they disadvantaged by being teens (don't have fully developed brains, almost no experience, can't fully control emotions etc.), they are also disadvantaged by not having the proper learning experiences. Seems like what I'm trying to say is that the fix that's needed needs to happen much earlier and we as a society are failing spectacularly at providing it.
That sucks.

The problem is that the algorithm seems to be unable to distinguish interchangeable items (e.g. vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers, Swiss Army knives) which you need exactly one of, similar items (e.g. different death metal albums, or Hammer horror movies) which if you bought one of, you'll probably want some others, and connected items (e.g. different parts of a course) where you'll probably want all the others.
What a hunter-gatherer diet does to the body in just three days
Basically, if you can mine it on earth you can do the same on mars excluding organic compounds.

Anyway, back to your argument. Processing ore is not light weight. Total mass of asteroids inside earths orbit is actually surprisingly low relative to planetary manufacturing needs. Sure the asteroid belt is ~4% of the moons mass, but inner planets have mostly cleared their orbits.

Yea, there are KM sized objects, which might be rich in stuff we want. But consider, Bingham Canyon Mine for example is 0.6 miles deep and 2.5 miles wide and that's just for copper. And even if you processed it all you still need Delta V on 19 million tonnes of copper.

Look at a periodic table. Mines can only really provide you with that stuff. Now exclude the useless elements and the stuff and what's abundant and there really is not a huge niche for asteroid mining. Futher ateriods regularly impacted mars after it had a solid surface so all the same elements are there much like they are on earth.

So, you really need asteroid mining to stand on it's own independent of colonizing Mars.

PS: Artificial gravity only gets you part of the way to dealing with micro gravity You need life support, food, water etc. Spin all that stuff and you need an even stronger tether with a larger counter weight.
Publix started offering this service a few weeks ago. I haven't tried it yet (probably never will, for the same reasons I'd never try Blue Apron), BUT they put it in plastic containers with a label for each of the individual items and the instructions. The contents appear to be in individual wrapped vacuum sealed bags. Not sure much beyond that.
I'll answer your subtle comment quite explicitly: never.

Intel clearly rushed this out to prevent AMD from having the perception of leading the space, at least in terms of the largest core count. The article even references this.

I just hope that it stays competitive, as this is clearly a win for consumers.
