> I burn much less carbon when I take the bus to work.

I understand that. It's the obvious reasoning behind a gas tax.

My entire point is that there are also other effects.

If gas prices raise significantly, then the price of everything - groceries, medication, clothing, cleaning supplies, solar panels, everything - raises, meaning simple things that everyone relies on suddenly become unaffordable to low-wage workers, so their employers suddenly need to raise profits to accommodate the price hike, and raise wages for the bulk of their employees, or (more likely) simply fail, resulting in a significant unemployment increase.

You can't just magically fix climate change by putting the poor out of work, nor should you.

> encourage more energy-efficient industries.

This can be done with much more reasonable methods. Don't forget that transportation is not the only significant source of carbon emissions. The best legislative efforts we can make are to support clean energy (nuclear, wind, solar).
The most likely explanation is the prior to perhaps 200 years ago the differentials were different. (Also having lots of children may not result in a lot of descendents, so is an insufficient measure). This would be due to the fact that in an era before universal rights and universal economic security there were reproductive consequences to intelligence (or lack of).

So there is no evolutionary pressure. Evolution is a (brutal) system of unfairness that represents everything that modern progressive values work against. This is something that will need reconciling (or many technologists will hope for genetic engineering I guess) or in the long term will not be sustainable.

Consider your children are on average genetically inferior to you. This is mathematically true. A society which uniformly has 2 children per person + 100% survival will regress. In fact it may take something closer to mediaval or even prehistoric reproductive outcomes to have positive evolutionary pressure. This could be many people having 4-5 children, with many other people who are 'unfit' not having children at all (either remaining childless or dying early).

The subsequent improvements in education,environment and nutrition have likely provided a dividend that masked a fall in underlying genetic intelligence. Naturally as those gains have been fully realised the underlying trend will reassert itself.
It's not like the stereotype is entirely fabricated. This was created by how Indian workers were used by corporations -- to cut labor costs without much regard to the quality of work. If they're doing the same thing in their Indian offices, it's not going to do them any good in the long run.

It's not that I think people should not ride motorcycles. It's that WE are aware of the heightened level of danger, extra things to watch for, etc. Most people are not and recommending motorcycles casually to people who may not grasp the risks is setting them up to get fucked, pardon the language.

I do think an amendment to my original statement is needed, though: I would NEVER recommend them to other people without firmly impressing upon them the value of safety courses and the risks involved.
That is already the case on 16.04 afaik, perhaps even earlier.
Right, clearly there's been a vast improvement under his tenure! /s
Everyone seems to be making the assumption that all the work IBM India does is outsourced from US. IBM India is the biggest domestic IT player in India with clients like Airtel, Indian Railways, HDFC etc.; IBM India also services clients from other countries in the world (which wouldn't have happened otherwise because its too expensive in the US). And, IBM India, has a few research labs setup that do independent research.

Considering this, how is the number of employees in India and US even a relevant question. Isn't it similar to say why is there more manufacturing workforce in China when compared to US for company X? We know why, it costs less for the company and the client, and taking advantage of it opened up new markets/demand.

The actual Rust developers are not like that, they are quite friendly and help anyone that wanders into their forums.

Google is already using Rust on a few ChromeOS and Fuchsia libraries.

Firefox is getting more components ported from C++ into Rust.

Microsoft adopted a regexp engine, written in Rust, for Visual Studio Code.

So some victories, but the language still needs to mature in a few domains, UI, IDE, DB drivers, graphical debuggers, processors, and these things take time.

It took C++ almost 20 years to steal some industries from C, while others still choose C and Assembly as their daily tools.

It takes years to replace tooling, and many times the sucesses are not only technical, but are heavy influenced by social and political reasoning.
I am a foreigner who works for an American customer and I freely admit that I am not as productive as one of their in-house developers. This is because of things like communication delays, lack of documentation (of both their code and their business logic and practices) and generally the overhead of being in a separate team.

Now that IBM has more people in India than in the US, maybe they will find that they face the opposite problem: US workers will have to adapt to their Indian counterparts instead of the other way around, so it will be more productive to hire an additional Indian than an additional American.
Sure, but aren't basic necessities less expensive in India?
I can't believe Bloomberg would publish that. Why not write "nobody knows but the authorities are investigating" or just wait until there is actual news to report on? Why fluff it up and make up what is essentially gossip at this point? Journalist standards seem to be declining across the board.
"New editions strive to streamline the experience, fix mishaps, and comply with legal requirements and state-mandated education programs."

True story: I was ICDCS '98, perusing the textbooks with my advisor and some of his ex-students, and see the new (6th?) edition of Silberschatz's OS book. "Oh, yeah", one of my advisor's older students says, "Avi does have another kid going to college this year."
That would be today! Which is why I posted it.

Thank you for asking.
I love Cryptonomicon but I don't think it would be adaptable in any way that bears more than a superficial similarity to the book. Though actually I feel the same way about Snow Crash, so we'll see.

As far as adaptability of Stephenson goes, I could see Zodiac, or maybe REAMDE, that would work in a way that resembles the books. Maaaybe Seveneves, though you have to deal with the significant separation between Part 2 and Part 3.

The rest of his books, including Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash, are too intertwined with "theoretical" concepts to make much sense in an adaptation. I mean, yes: you can have a show or movie about a pizza deliverer/hacker named Hiro Protagonist who swordfights in the metaverse; or Jack and Eliza's Adventures in Enlightenment Europe; or whatever. But the real underpinnings of the story aren't going to make it in and that's what makes Stephenson's books interesting.
This is pretty much true of any group, it would be absurd to deny it.
Yes, we intentionally disabled it for now because the WebAssembly API allows dynamic code loading at runtime. We want all code deployed on Cloudflare to go through our standard deployment process so that we have copies of all of it e.g. for forensic purposes. Also, when we integrate with Cloudflare Apps, that code needs to be moderated.

What we'll do at some point is allow you to provide a WASM blob along-side your script, which will be loaded separately and then exposed to your script probably as a global variable.
Actually, reading James Flynn's book What Is Intelligence?, I got the impression that environment and culture plays a huge factor in IQ. Genetics is a factor, obviously, too. But accepting IQ as a mostly function of race or sex, which some people are always itching to do whenever this is brought up, is reductivist.

In his book, Flynn attributes part of the mysterious increase in IQ during the 20th century to the spread of general education and inculcation of scientific and logical modes of reasoning more broadly.

He recounts a story from Soviet anthropologists who travelled through Russia studying peasants at the beginning of the 20th century. An anthropologist presented a villager with a simple syllogism:

All swans are white. If I told you there was a swan in the next village over and sent you over to report its color for me. What color do you expect it to be?

Peasant's response: I don't know. I'd have to go check.

Which makes sense when you exist in a world in which you're operating mostly on the basis of personal relationships and trust is based on a person's word and status and not on abstract and institutionalized forms of knowledge. You'd be an idiot to trust the word of some stranger you just met.

But this guy probably did not do so well on the IQ test he was given.

In fact, check out this statement from Flynn's Wikipedia page:

Women, he argued, caught up to men in these nations as a result of exposure to modernity by entering the professions and being allowed greater educational access.

There are many problems in Cuba, but what this article is saying is based on pure propaganda. Of course these doctors are not receiving money as they would in the US, this is the whole point of a communist system. In the other hand they didn't have to pay anything for education during their whole life, unlike the US where just a few people have the money and/or opportunity to go to medical school. It is just like going to Cuban managers and saying that they wished to live in a capitalist system where they would made 10 times more than their poor friends. It doesn't make it right.

In other words, this article is trying to attack Cuba for what it did right as a communist country, not for what it did wrong. If this were the worst that came out from Cuba, then it would be pretty close to perfect.
I'm reminded of Howie Hubler, the man responsible for the single largest trading loss in history. His trade cost Morgan Stanley $9 billion. He resigned and was given $10 million in back pay.
The loss rate for manned space launches over the past 20 years has been 0.79%. What you're pointing out (only once every few decades) is a factor of the small number of manned launches per year. Actual loss rate is very high. 1/130 chance of loss.
It doesn't matter, it provides value. This is enough to make it not a scam, it's not like a bunch of people got together and asked how to make themselves rich. Bitcoin was created to be the trusted currency of the internet, without the banks interfering.

It's not racism, it's the fact that India's tech sector came up so quickly, there were so many engineers, probably not all with the same level of training, that lots of code probably was crap. Not because Indians can't code, but because the industry wasn't as developed as elsewhere. Obviously that can change over time, and it has.

> This racism is again mirrored in the huge salary difference. Are those Indian workers really worth so much less?

Corporations pay people what they'll accept. Since many Indians are essentially doing salary arbitrage between what they'd make in India and the US, they'll accept less. Also, cost of living in India is much lower.

Literally none of what you've explained here is a result of racism, just economics.
>Ten years ago, so many Americans were making jokes about poor quality Indian code and Indian accents. The idea of Indians actually working innovative jobs seemed laughable to many Americans.

As someone who grew up in America during that time, this is the exact opposite that I was told by the media and teachers. We were taught that Indians were just as effective (if not more) than people working in the US and that we shouldn't select jobs that will be outsourced in the future (like programming). In fact computer science enrollment in many colleges were at an all-time low during that time because of outsourcing fear.

So I completely disagree with your generalization that many Americans thought Indians were worse at programming.

> If someone is plotting a crime while having sex with their partner in their bedroom, how is that not the government's business?

That escalated quickly. So to you monitoring information posted to a third party is the same as listening in on you and your spouse while you're bumping uglies?

> See how it gets problematic?

No I don't as I reject your example outright. What goes on within the four walls of a person's bedroom has already been established as protected. In contrast, what gets sent out to a third party has been established as not protected.

> Bad actors like that can communicate in 200000 ways. If governments want to target "known terrorist organizations" let them target them, and follow those people, monitor their houses, etc -- not monitor the general population in the off chance they see something.

Sure and this is one of the many ways they can do it. Just because there are other options available doesn't mean they can't use this as an avenue.

> So, in 1980, before Facebook, they wouldn't be able to catch anyone?

I never said that nor implied it. I'm saying that social media posts are fair game and likely a valuable source of information for identified terrorists and potential terrorists.

> How about they monitor actual suspects with good old police work and leave the BS?

That's a false dichotomy. There's no reason you can't have modern data analysis of social media posts in addition to traditional police work. Technology is a force multiplier. Back in the day people would manually examine finger prints to find a match based on a categorization system. Now a computer does it nearly instantly.
Wow! That's actually really interesting! but...

It still doesn't provide for the reality that most large chains are fairly efficient, and optimized to begin with, resulting in most tasks being dumbed down to the point that actual last-mile labor activity is mostly unskilled.

Whether or not a worker in a fast food restaurant can foment a bidding war between two locations, operating the same brand, for his or her skills as a human resource, is negated by the fact that there isn't much skill beyond being a warm body. All the hard work of a fast food franchise is performed in the supply chain, by accomplishing delivery of a uniform meal across wide areas of service.

Diners, Chinese take-out and other varieties of greasy spoon don't have this problem, because there isn't anything unique about what the preparers do. The only time you see contention for personnel, is when identity and distinction separates one from another.

Rare situations such as recipe inventions, and new menu items come from innovative chefs who dream up things like the Cronut. Unless something like that is in play, this protection clause is somewhat vestigial. Most franchise agreements render such innovation impossible anyway, since deviating from branded products represents a violation of terms all its own.

Not even a large enterprise, just anywhere there's any sort of formal process. Very, very few companies outside a startup with a single product+handful of employees are able to just make code changes like that all willy nilly. Especially to something as sensitive as authentication.

To add a bit of context: the React docs were previously a Jekyll site that was hosted at facebook.github.io/react/. The new site was rebuilt using Gatsby.js (a React-based static site generator), uses the Glamor CSS-in-JS library for styling, and has a bunch of nice tweaks and improvements overall, like the live component editors on the front page.

>> By not paying a competitive salary, those IBM offices in India are lacking the deep experience of western programmers.

1. IBM offices and most multinationals do pay competitive salary in India. We have the same problem with retaining talent in India that we have in US. Its hard to retain good programmers.

2.Thanks to US immigration system, you do find a lot of folks with deep experience working for firms in US for years return back to India. They carry with them the best practices that they learnt in US. Some of these people also attend US universities.

3. At least the big fives (I don't know about IBM) have consistent coding and code review standards across geographies and use similar frameworks, deployment and monitoring tool chains. So there is not as big of an impact as you think on coding standards across geographies, be it Dublin, Sydney or Bangalore. It usually tends to be the same.

The premise of this article is flawed (to put it kindly). Surely no rigorous statistical study would fail to take age into account. So why is it even an issue (beyond a measuring technicality) being raised in a 'science' journal? I think it is clear that as a society we don't want science to be undertaken in this area and so consequently we end up with obscurantism (willingly or unwillingly). Or maybe we have already become to stupid to engage in science?

Because everyone would have to suddenly react.
