I like to try on identities a bit like trying on clothes. If someone is making decisions based on identity, you'll find it hard to understand them, or empathize with their position if you can't imagine what their outlook is like. It's especially troubling if you think of people with different perspectives as being "other", alien in some way.

Most identities have positive things to commend them, as well as negatives. Frequently a set of identities mesh together into a consistent narrative of the world, such that you can't change people's mind on a single issue unless you can flip them on a whole bunch of related issues, or create a better narrative. These narratives are often backed by both ignorance and logical fallacies that cause evidence to be misinterpreted.

I think if you don't try out other identities, other world views, you're liable to get stuck in an identity by default, and just not be aware of how biased your perspective is.
> A few years of this does not make it normal.

I wasn't implying that.

> Implying they haven't been in the past.

Nor that.

My only intention was to agree with the original commenter that the title and start of the article made it sound like this one event was a complete anomaly.

Later on we find out that, no, this has been happening for a while.

If it is not an anomaly then we need to know how frequently this temperature spike happens. Multiple times during the winter? Has it been spiking only in the last few years. How anomalous is it?

Am I not allowed ask these questions?
When did your friends move to US. Recently or before 2012. Since 2010, the decline started and since 2012 very few highly qualifies Indians are moving to US. It has been a mix of growth in local startup ecosystem and know how much the immigration situation for Indians sucks in US!
Funny that just today I was searching for old D&D campaign settings and found that Birthright had a game called Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance, distributed by Sierra.

Ah, the nostalgia.
If price gets to a point that it is at parity with the typical bike, I'd probably jump. I don't own one and the only thing that really draws is less fuel consumption. Something that I just charge for trips to and from work? That'd be icing.

Though for the points you listed and others, I expect the run of the mill that they're none for to continue for a while as well. But they have the possibility of owning two markets, so why not?
40 of the top 100 crypto assets (coins and tokens) by market cap are ERC20 tokens. Exchanges involving fiat are necessarily centralized since fiat requires a centralized custodian.

There are some dollar-pegged ERC20 tokens like Tether (backed by dollars) and DAI (a stable coin) that could allow what is effectively fiat-value <-> token decentralized exchange, but to acquire actual fiat, that can be used in the rest of the financial system, requires interaction with a centralized exchange that has a banking relationship.
Healthcare in the US has left the era of the small business and is entering the era of the nameless corporation. What wal-mart did to all of the mom-and-pop shops is happening to healthcare. Except that instead of lowering prices, it is raising them

Physicians have gone from small business owners to rank and file employees of large corporations. The burnout that is increasingly common among physicians is not unlike that of american office workers in the 1990s.

I'd love for the next stage of the evolution of healthcare to see physicians as customer focused, tech savvy entrepreneurs

Note the title is "Keep your identity small", not "Reduce your identity to zero". While I think I can see what you're getting at, I'm not sure I follow the logic. Bear with me for a moment: In the case of slavery, I wouldn't want someone to consider themselves a slave, I'd want them to consider themselves a human being and expect to be treated as such. Similarly for anyone dealing with harassment or unjust marriage laws. These conditions aren't unjust because one is a slave or a woman or gay. They're unjust because you're a human, and the conditions are inhumane. A slave doesn't want to continue to be a slave; a woman doesn't want to have to put up with harassment because they're a woman; a gay man doesn't want to be treated differently because he's a gay man: they want to be treated fairly and justly because they're human.

I think one of the things Graham is pointing towards is finding what is common among people, rather than focussing on the differences. A couple of sentences that stood out to me when I read it were "More generally, you can have a fruitful discussion about a topic only if it doesn't engage the identities of any of the participants. What makes politics and religion such minefields is that they engage so many people's identities." I read that as focussing on those topics in common.

None of this is guaranteed, of course. But I think it's a more constructive way forward than focussing on what divides people.

Would you expand on what aspects of the piece you took to supporting the conclusions and examples you provided above?
I didn’t observe that whine with my 9350. But the touchpad is essentially useless. In fact, I should reimage it with an OS where mouse use isn’t necessary. It’s that awful.

My best theory is these machines are meant to be seen on a desk attached to a big monitor and usual desktop setup.
The US is still partying hard. At least, relative to much of Western Europe. Much of Eastern Europe still has too much inefficient Soviet-era infrastructure. And yes, China has had slack in most climate agreements.

It sounds like this is Raven Ridge — I'm guessing Ryzen Embedded is to Ryzen Mobile something like what Ryzen PRO is to vanilla Ryzen? But with longer-term support.
I think one way for matter to reach the black hole might be that when more matter comes close to the black hole the event horizon expands, so that matter that is already close to the event horizon gets incorporated even without moving. I don't know what happens to the matter that gets inside that way, does it remain stuck, giving an onion-like structure to the black hole, or something else ?
Apple watch was after Jobs died, it's a success even if no one thinks it is. There's a very real chance nothing they do will ever compare to the Iphone.

Article does not address the problem why the doctors' behave this way: insurance companies.

Unfortunately, treating makes more money than curing and the United States is scared to death of what shall they do with all that free time if they actually do cure, while other countries do not work themselves to death because they do not have an artificially controlled supply of Doctors...
Stuff like this is why I backup to an encrypted USB drive.
> Free insurance with no co-pays and deductibles is worth a lot of money if you consume any healthcare services, and you can only get it if you don’t work.

The Medicaid expansion population is up to 138% of Federal Poverty Level, so it's not “available only if you don't work”, and the vast majority of states participating in the expansion impose cost sharing requirements (which work like deductibles, though at least the ones I know well are monthly rather than annual), so it's mostly not “with no copay or deductible”.
The current title, implying abuse by Infosys, Tata et all is hyperbolic borderline xenophobic.

If the way Infosys and Tata use the H-1B visa is abuse then so is how Microsoft, Google and Facebook use it.
You obviously don't know much about immigration laws, either in the US or other places. Otherwise, you'd know that some countries allow folks to move there as long as they have a bit of income or a bit of money in the bank. Some countries don't have such confusing regulations about getting permanent residency nor citizenship and have them clearly laid out. You'd know a lot of countries have family immigration policies for close families, much like the US yet easier to navigate. Heck, Norway's civics exam was a reasonable thing to pass after a 6 week course (50 hours of classroom time), unlike the american exam. Sure, it is required for permanent residency, but that doesn't seem like an unfair requirement either.

You are also unaware of how the refugee program works. Otherwise you'd know some of the things that qualifies folks to be a refugee. You'd know that folks can't really choose their country. Most refugees I've met would have rather stayed in their home country, by the way, if it weren't for things like war and starvation. Some are saddened that they will never be able to go back home because they think they'll get killed. Tends to happen after getting tortured by the cops and taken by ISIS - or your family getting this done to them.

I'd put links up for you, but that is seriously too much work for this comment.
This isn't going to help high tech companies.

EB1-C is a Green Card category for multinational managers. It is supposed to be used to move job creating foreign nationals to US.

Till 2010, the body shop and consulting companies didn't use it much. However as rule tightened since 2010, these companies started using EB1-C to most low cost labor to US and delaying Green Card for everyone else.

With EB1-C you can get Green Card within an year, cutting in line in front of everyone else from India.

With this ruling, these companies are going to double down on EB1-C.
There is a video posted in the comments.

But it worked fine on my Debian Stretch laptop with Intel integrated graphics. MED was pretty slow, but VERY_LOW and LOW detail levels were fine.

Do you understand how abysmal your people's mathematics skills in comparison to average Asian countries? SAT math is like 7-9th graders' homework, definitely not high school level in Asia.
Ville Radieuse: Le Corbusier’s Functionalist Plan for a Utopian “Radiant City”
That's true to some extent, but it's not the same. Immigrants working in the U.S. at headquarters will have a different relationship with the rest of your team than people in a remote office 12 timezones away.

If you don't want your teams to be segregated by nationality then you will want people working in same place.
When the time comes, they'll just ignore the Constitution or at least relieve it of its meaning.

The path to a healthy government has to include rule of law. I think the slippery slope we are on is very dangerous. When people decide ignoring the Constitution is easier and just as legitimate as amending it, it is the beginning of the end. I think we already passed that point and I'm not sure how we can recover.
That's how it's happened here. Another commenter mentioned that while we've had such highs, we've also experienced record lows. What they didn't associate was how they have come back-to-back.

It's rather usual for a northerly place like Calgary to go from -20˚ to +20˚ Celsius (or the reverse) over the course of a day due to Chinook winds from the mountains. They're really quite a sight if there are any clouds—you can watch the wall of whatever front is blowing in.

In Ontario, it's rather unusual for the same kind of phenomenon, and we've experienced it multiple times this winter.

EB-2 works under same priority order, whether NIW or not. Only benefit of NIW is that you don't need to do PERM (which is labor certification).

So, EB-2 NIW - doesn't help people from India - because it is really easy to get a EB-2. I have 2 approved ones which are useless!
The type of developer who prefers Windows wouldn't get a job in a place that uses GNU/Linux.

The rest of the things you mention doesn't really apply to developers (when developing, at least).
The O-1 is meant to bring in Nobel Peace Prize winners. It just turns out that, on paper, and according to the US, they tend to have a lot in common with developers.
I learned this knot in 1986 from my brother, and he knew it for awhile before that, and unlikely through Ian.

I do it slightly differently, and a decent amount faster. I don't pinch and grab after the spin, but rather hook the opposite lace during the spin with the front crease in my index finger.

It takes about 10 minutes to learn, and 20 minutes of practice for the muscle memory to get it right.
No, a "ceiling on American wages" theory would only make sense if globalization was removing jobs from the USA, in which case you would not have a labor shortage. It would be reasonable to say "Foreign competition has stolen jobs from Americans, therefore the unemployment rate is high, therefore there is a ceiling on American wages via globalization."

But that can not be reconciled to "labor shortage".

A more fruitful line of research focuses on the growing power of monopoly, and the collapse of new business formation in the USA. Why don't companies with huge profits reinvest their profits? Why are most of the tech giants sitting on piles of cash? Monopoly could explain that, and would also explain a limit on wages that otherwise seems to defy market sense.
Gates certainly sounds deplorable, but it’s interesting that one of the criticisms is:

”with Carey incinerating the killer—a cross-dressing man who is given about as much humanity and depth in this story as you'd expect”

despite this hit piece being little more than an exercise in denying Gates himself of any depth or humanity.
The problem is MBA administrators looking at their little accounting tables and deciding that not letting patients actually see a doctor is their purpose in life, just so they can pay everyone at a hospital as little as possible. This of course leads to global cost blowups and worse care.

Of course, by now there is no turning back, and the government has decided that actually training doctors must be prevented at all costs.

VERY short term vision, constantly sacrificing the future for a quick buck, leads over the span of decades, to spiraling costs and worse outcomes. Who knew ? Well, everybody knew.
>Even 500,000 cars would leave most of the market for a handful of it's competitors.

Better batteries and more competitors producing cars with different characteristics will vastly increase the market size. That means the incumbents could grab most of the market, but Tesla could still sell lots of cars and be profitable.
The point is that reputation is important if you wish to form contracts in future. Doubly so if you already have the aces of hearts, diamonds, spades and especially clubs up your sleeve.
Which is basically an upside down surgeon's knot. Just like a normal shoe-lace knot is a reef-knot using bights instead of ends.

I don't think he gives the correct knot for the surgeon's knot.

First IMO you should cross the two ends, push under the upper end, and then repeat. Then form bights and do the same action again (I use this for laces when I need them to stay fastened or when they're long and I don't want dangling aglets). However, it seems I also have been doing the surgeon's knot wrong - I make it balanced (a reef knot with an extra cross in each direction) but in every other image it's finished with a single cross of the two bights.

There are lots of easier textbooks, all of them less...wordy. Wald's is the industry standard these days. Schutz, Carroll, and D'Inverno are all good introductions. If you're really pressed for time, Dirac wrote an intro to GR which is about as short as humanly possible. It omits most of the geometry though.
You are regurgitating a "misused funds" talking point that Republicans always fall back on when facts don't support their position.

The US isn't that out of line with spending:

US is $15,171 per student while Switzerland is $14,922 per student. US is 7.3% of GDP while Denmark is 8% of GDP.

Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-education-spending-tops-glob...

There is not some magic bank of "misused" money waiting to be tapped.

The US also has a lot of students who fall into the education assistance category (free breakfasts, lunches) who would fall into a "social safety net" in countries like Sweden and Norway. A lot of the poorest students eat up the largest chunks of funding.

Finally, the Gates Foundation, whom I don't necessarily like, has shown time and again two fundamental things about education attainment:

1) any SUSTAINED focused resource improves educational outcomes

2) resource allocation is strongly sub-linear--it takes FAR more than 10% more resource to cause 10% improvement in outcome from our current system
As Voltaire said: "The secret to being a bore is to tell everything."
I’m not a woman but I do this too. It really just came from others’ negative reactions to certain behaviors I would do, which taught me that it’s not acceptable to behave in those ways around “normal” people. (Like some of the women in the article I knew I wasn’t normal but didn’t know why.)

Ironically, I have gotten so good at this that I sometimes get annoyed when a person I am talking to acts “weird”.

I feel “lucky” in that I’m not too far off from normal, whatever that is, on the spectrum. But I still find it exhausting and depressing, like they do. I have also had the feeling that certain friendships and relationships are fake because I act differently to who I am when around those people. I don’t feel that anyone at work really knows me. I don’t think it is worth trying to be yourself at work, even disregarding the spectrum stuff.

The bit about the difficulties with diagnosing autism in women is also interesting. There are many similar situations in regard to mental health, for example women are diagnosed as borderline much more often.
Police Quest was huge for me. As a kid it was just risque and free form enough to capture my imagination. I always loved knocking over the motorcycles out in front of the biker bar. I re-bought the Police Quest series a few years back and this genre of games definitely didn't age very well, but still holds a place in my heart. Last time Sierra came up on HN, someone recommended the Sierra chapter in Steven Levy's "Hackers", definitely worth the read. All Sierra Games had a unique aesthetic and you could just tell that the people behind the games loved what they did for a living and had an amazing combination of tech and design skills.
Try yearly lottery. You have higher chance! ;-)
Let me rephrase. Assuming the tolerance maximizers are completely successful, the next wave of ugly intolerance will be wrapped in a veneer of "no tolerance for intolerance".

I think the thing to strive for is a more perfect due process. I'm concerned people are instead looking for a more perfect way to label and shun transgressors. And they use hate and fear of intolerance as a key justification.

So how do we stop that? Or, rather, why haven't we had any luck so far?
I was following the Starting Strength Training program, created by Mark Rippletoe, one of the most respected names in strength training, under a trainer who learned how to train directly from Rip. There's no chance that I wasn't following the program correctly.

The problem is that the program is wrong. Taking your advice, to go for a slower progression, is going against the program. That is definitely something I could do, but why not just throw the whole program out the window? Because it obviously doesn't suit my needs. If I try to go slower, there's no guarantee that I still won't get injured.

To make an analogy here, let's take a woodworker's shop. A table saw is an incredibly dangerous piece of equipment, but the way to keep yourself safe from it is simple and intuitive, keep your hands away from the blade. Every single safety protocol revolves around that, and you can pick and choose just how many safeguards you want to use. Push sticks seem mandatory, a blade guard less so.

But you can understand the danger of a table saw. Nobody says, "well you can take all the precautions in the world against a table saw, but you still might get your thumb taken off anyway." But that's the situation with barbell weightlifting.

>>I see what you mean, but that opportunity cost applies to all currencies.

I don't mean that. I mean the actual process of converting liquid wealth into/out-of ether staking deposits, and of sacrificing liquidity to maintain stake deposits. That is not a free activity.

Given the earnings accrued to anyone with staking deposits, there will be competition to increase the share of one's wealth that are held as staking deposits, and that requires increasing frequency of these activities.

The cost of all of these activities will approach the revenue generated by holding ether.
Microsoft, Apple, and Google, among other big tech companies, are some of Tata and Infosys’ largest clients, so it’s not as clear cut as it might seem. They get to avoid hiring more “expensive” FTEs by using these body shops.
I completely feels the same. I am grateful for the education and opportunity that is offered, but I am losing purpose as time goes.

The America that I was dreaming of, might never exist in the first place. However, it is painful, now even a little bit enthralling to see it disintegrate at this speed.
While I see your point, "CEO/Executive Pay" is a poor indicator of waste in these organizations. Fundamentally, Non-profits need to operate like businesses, in the sense that their balance sheets need to remain stable and their income needs to cover their costs. The difference between a non-profit and a corporation of course exists, in their respective names imply, in who they're beholden to. Non-profits exist to not make a profit, where "for-profit" corporations exist to deliver a profit to their shareholders. For-profit corporations pay their CEOs exorbitant amounts as well, and for non-profits to recruit talent, they have to do the same.
Yeah and it's a stupid idea. The problem is that the startup "idea" is probably not good enough. A company succeeds despite itself as there is no such thing as
