I'm not sure what's supposed to be notable about that? The only company I've ever interviewed with that didn't ask what my legal residence status was very early on in the process was a startup with a poor understanding of employment law. You can't assume that people who can't actually legally work for you won't apply for jobs anyway and asking it later would just waste your time.
I loved this essay when it came out, and I still think it's pretty great. But I'm forced to acknowledge that a big reason I was on board with it is that the identities I was given to choose from when I was young didn't appeal to me.

And I'm forced to acknowledge that for most people, their identities do work and make them happy in ways I can only sort-of understand. And maybe they lower our society's level of epistemic virtue, but people may never let them go, and it's not obvious that we ought to try to convince them to beyond a certain point.

I like balioc's perspective here https://balioc.wordpress.com/2017/03/15/responsa/. The whole thing is good, but he responds to PG's essay specifically with:

"I could answer by saying that, in many circumstances, identity really is necessary for hedonic well-being. [...] the world isn’t set up to provide us with constant sources of utility, so it’s much better to have a constantly-accessible utility generator inside yourself, even if that generator requires some finicky maintenance."

US trade balance: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/balance-of-trade

How to read that graph: if the line is above zero, it's a net benefit to the US to allow free trade, if it is below, it's a net cost. In the last 50 years, not once has it been positive, and it's systematically gotten worse.

TLDR: free trade is a massive cost to the US economy. It is in fact clearly at a level where if it wasn't for the dollar's status as global reserve currency, it would be completely intolerable.

Distinction Bias: Why You Make Terrible Life Choices
I have the good sense to avoid working with people who are playing mind games with me.
That's a prisoner's dilemma. If you open up, and the other side doesn't reciprocate (and China doesn't, to put it VERY mildly), you will lose. A lot.

Also, if that happens, you have the worst of all possible worlds : the situation gets worse (more resources are more inequal), AND the party that tried to get it fixed is the one that loses the most resources. This, of course, will make any future attempt to fix inequality that much harder.

It's just not that simple.

Look, I'm not evaluating their virtue as human beings or their contributions to society. I'm saying that in a functioning market economy, prices/wages reflect an informed estimate of the balance between supply and demand. If you're telling people stories of a shortage and sky-high prices, then offering to buy for well below "sky-high", well, you're lying to someone, and let's just hope it's yourself.
Why is this controversial? Why would Americans prefer immigrants chosen at random through a lottery vs. those who are skilled and vetted? Or worse, giving illegal immigrants immunity?

Ok so stay in India and build businesses in India. What’s so difficult about this for you? You’re not entitled to move to another country nor am I. If we have too many people from one place how can we build a multicultural society? If you’re truly high-skilled then you should be advocating for the US to restrict immigration like Canada and others do to a points-based system. Do you advocate for this or do you prefer a liberal immigration system like the US now has? You can’t have both.

And if you spent any time in the West you would know that just because a few people (even many) hold a wrong opinion (I.e. downvoting) doesn’t make them right.

And next time instead of making a throwaway and calling people trolls I think you should post under your real username and spend more time discussing the merits of their arguments.

> languages with good metaprogramming facilities let the users them to fit their needs.

No amount of metaprogramming can fix the intractability of proving programs correct in the base language, especially if the metaprogramming facilities leak identifiers like a sieve (unhygienic macros).

> userland extensibility can play a huge impact on the overall cleanliness of the language because new ideas can be tried out as libraries.

Instead of (uselessly!) trying new language features, how about trying to find usable proof principles for the language features that you already have?

"t sounds more like advances in hardware virtualization yielded better solutions than a bunch of additional segment registers and slow context switches."

The most secure OS's of the past used both paging and segments but for different things. Later on, the numbers I saw on Atom put segments at twice as fast as paging which matters given too much overhead makes people use mechanisms less. Finally, both Native Client and Code Pointer Integrity used segments for app-level protection which could run in VM's isolated by other mechanisms.

So, they still have value given simplicity, efficiency, and fine granularity. I didnt like seeing them go given new developments were happening on segment-based designs.
expanding aggressively

Are they aggressively expanding their open boarders immigration policy? Hmm? Oh, they don't have such a policy? Golly, looks like they've been "shooting themselves in the foot" for a while now, 1000s of years really, so I guess it doesn't matter if we indulge in the same.
I agree with the general gist of what you are saying. But specifically with respect to Google, should a company that openly admits it optimizes for a low false positive rate even though it knows that means a high false negative rate really be sympathized with when they say they can't find enough people?
So you’re advocating for the US to restrict immigration to only highly-skilled migrants? Would you be ok deporting non-engineer Dreamers?
This is what you responded to:

>> Friend's mother was recently in hospital, multiple doctors thru a single day, each one had to completely relearn what was going on.

> What's the alternative? 24 hour shifts for the doctor and the new doctor each day needs to relearn everything?

This is from your response:

> Is there really a need for 24 hour doctor visits most of the time?

The exact situation described is hospitalization. Pointing out that most treatment may not be on a 24h basis is not relevant here.

1280-bit keys are still mostly sufficient for now, this isn’t a website where every party is relying on the key of the server being heavily resistant to protects millions of users - every device has a unique key.

Still, you are correct that a determined adversary, potentially one capable of purchasing a quantum computer with enough quibits could factor the device key. It would be nice to see Apple move to a large enough ECC key which would improve security against quantum computing attacks in particular.
Could you explain a bit about your project? I looked at the site, looked at the examples. Maybe I am dense, I understand the scores etc but I am not sure how to use the scores. Maybe I am not the target market...
When I was in 7th grade in the late 80s I sent Sierra a letter asking for something...perhaps a disk exchange or maybe it was just fan mail, I don't remember. But since I wasn't used to sending letters I completely forgot to put my return address on the letter and possibly not even on the envelope I sent it in. I did however include the name of my junior high school and several weeks later I was called to the principals office and told that they'd received some mail for me. I was stunned to find a letter from Sierra with whatever it was that I'd requested. They'd literally tracked down the address of my junior high to avoid disappointing one of their fans.
Many of my most formative game playing experiences were with Sierra adventure games.
It was really a different time.
It looks like the X3bar (really bands) suffer from the classic problem of mismatch to your strength curve, with the strongest resistance where your lifting is weakest. Nautilus equipment generally solved that problem by the 1980s.

Author Doug McGuff MD has been operating a training facility since 1998, 100-120 client sessions a week, and he reports zero injuries to date. Most injuries come from excess force/acceleration, so pick an exercise protocol with very low acceleration that seriously fatigues the target muscle.

I don't think it's controversial. Any country I've been to that can control ingress does control ingress and will promptly deport people who didn't enter the proper way.

Japan, S Korea, China, Singapore, etc., would be extremely hard for anyone to work off the books without having to resort to the underworld. Otherwise you may last a month or two, but most people will get kicked out without a visa. What's more regular police have the authority and responsibility to make sure anyone without a visa gets expelled.

I completely agree that while quantum key exchange is amazing, in practical terms it might not be necessary for great security.

However, creating a long range quantum network (as a supplement to the classical internet), would provide amazing new capabilities (plenty of which we probably have not thought of yet). I am particularly excited about using it to link up sensors (telescopes) so that we can surpass the diffraction limit of classical sensors.
Really advanced? The size, speed, and altitude were no better than airliners from 50 years ago.
No, they don’t.

Most patients get admitted under a DRG, which is a lump sum payment. It’s true that doesn’t apply to every patient, but enough of them that doctors habits aren’t going to be shaped by the minority.

For that matter, you can come in and see a patient without asking the same history as the guy before you, if you’re just checking a box for a billing.
If I had a choice between going out of business sooner (not using AMP) or going out of business later (getting screwed by AMP one day), I'd choose later.

The question employers are supposed to ask is whether you are legally authorized to work; 'residence status' is not relevant (and indeed you could get into trouble for refusing to hire someone who is authorized to work on the basis of their visa/residence status).

This logically doesn't make any sense.

What are they doing then, sitting on their ass at home? Emigrating outside of the US? If not, and they're working, and companies are still having trouble filling positions, how would paying the existing American engineers more fill those outstanding positions?
I like how he starts by explaining how the accounting is misleading and things like the tax gain or stock fluctuations do not reflect the underlying business. I'm not sure there are any other US businesses that do that?

Maybe. But you probably have a programming language that you like to use when building Web apps, and another that you like to use when building command-line utilities. The differences aren't usually just the libraries available, but how easy it is to express certain solutions.

I like to think of myself as intelligent, and I am religious. I'd like to gain some insight into exactly what kind of serious cherry picking I'm doing. Could you provide some examples of what you had in mind when you wrote your comment?

I have a hard time understanding how someone can get a degree in religion without noticing how unfalsifiable most religions are.

I'd also be interested to hear what great new evidence has arisen since the 19th century that makes religion so foolish. Take Maxwell for example. He knew about the age of the Earth and recognized the validity of Darwin's theory of evolution. Yet he was by all accounts a very religious man.
Couldn't agree more! I got into QFG1 at the time of Sierra's VGA point-and-click remake, and what a lasting impression.

The artwork, music, sense of humor, and character building - including being able to import your character and keep building your skill points through each successive game in the series - made it really special. Truly the golden years of graphical RPGs, IMO.
Also sure they at least use vertex shaders :)
What are the reasons to assume this wasn't just junk from space? Why say it was an aircraft?

I agree the advice in the article is to avoid "I am a ..." but given that seems somewhat impossible and the advice is to avoid this construct in order to prevent a kind of 'dumbness' as described by the article, I was wondering if it would be sufficient to avoid 'non-verb-ifiable' nouns in order to achieve the desired outcome: prevention of dumbness. I should have made that aspect of my comment clearer.
How about we create client-side plugins for each of the major platforms that people can use to detect the AMP mime-type and automatically mark as spam? Email reputation is a huge concern for senders and if there were enough people using the plugin it would poison the entire thing and may deter senders from using AMP entirely.

Now, for the web AMP I have no idea...

You probably have been asked for documentation that gives you permission to work. The Department of Labor has a list somewhere (can't find it right now) of what constitutes a work permit, and the employer has to accept anything that conforms.

My wife ran into a particularly obstinate HR drone once who wouldn't accept what she had. She asked company counsel if her documentation was in order and received a phonecall from HR to please come in and sign paperwork before the day was over. Yes, federal law has teeth.
As I understand it, EPA is the only one of these three with any reputation for accuracy.
Intelligence yes, but the risk was also commensurate with the returns - or more specifically, the volatility of what the end result would be.

>Why do the overnight shift of nurses take vital signs every four hours? So they catch rapid unexpected changes in patient conditions more quickly.

The first sentence of the second paragraph of the article you seemed to have avoided reading says:

“Checking things like temperature, blood pressure and respiratory rate every four hours on hospitalized patients has been the standard of care since the 1890s, yet scant data indicates that it helps.”
Observers outside a black hole (BH) are free to disagree about the location and shape of the horizon. However, there is no observer which is free to say that there is no horizon [1]. This latter point is why the horizon is a physical feature of the universe containing the BH. The former point is why infallers can cross the horizon according to them, while some outside observers will never actually see the crossing [2].

This is not an analogy as much as an example of an external-vs-internal observer problem. When you close the (opaque, insulated) door of your fridge, observers inside will see the (filament of the incandescent) light significantly dim, and if the door stays closed long enough, will see the light thermalize with rest of the internal volume. Someone standing outside the fridge might not even see the initial dimming; indeed, that observer may only ever see the light as "on" (rather than "heating from cold" or "cooling from hot").

[1] We could talk about naked singularities a bit: this usually means that there is at least one outside-the-black-hole observer for which the shape of the horizon is such that the centre of mass-energy of the BH is outside the horizon, rather than an observer for which there is no horizon at all. However, even these scantily clad BHs don't arise in realistic universes described by General Relativity. Fully naked singularites (where at least one observer exists which does not see any horizon at all) require an alternative theory of gravitation, or conditions extremely unlike those anywhere in our universe.

[2] Consider the observation of a supermassive black hole at the edge of the observable universe. From our view here around Earth, we see a race between a very bright star about to cross the black hole's event horizon and the black hole about to cross our Hubble horizon. Observatory A sees the star vanishing behind the horizon just in time; Observatory B sees the BH cross out of observability before the star vanishes behind the BH horizon. A and B have (very slightly) different Hubble horizons focused on them [3], and also with a (n also slightly) different radial distance to the BH horizon. "B" can never directly see the same coincidence of events that "A" sees; should "B" deny the infalling?

[3] Maybe this is illustrative of observer-centred observables? Glories (an optical phenomenon similar to rainbows) are so observer-specific that you and your handheld camera will have different ones (and each of your eyes will have different ones). As noted in the "From the air" subsection, we can tell what seat a photographer of a glory from a plane must have been sitting in. https://www.atoptics.co.uk/droplets/gloim1.htm
Likewise, we can determine the location in spacetime of an observer of a star-into-black-hole event from that observer's detailed description.
>> I don't buy bonds for the return, I buy them for safety of principal.

Stocks and bonds are not as anti-correlated as you might hope. The main benefit is diversification, and in that regard, it's really just lightening up your load of stocks - not actually the introduction of bonds. You may want to consider additional instruments for safety purposes.
