> race is not relevant unless you are an indigenous Australian or Torres Strait islander

So... race is relevant, then? I mean, that's a pretty big "unless".
Ignore this person. They're clearly of the mind that diversity is the number one threat to the civilized world, never mind what reality is.
> allowing the Chinese to steal our technology and then underprice our businesses with cheap labor [is not beneficial to most Americans]

This tariff isn't preventing that, or punishing the Chinese companies involved.

> The reason they're the only viable place to purchase these items is because they're so cheap. Making them more expensive gives space for non-Chinese competitors to enter into business.

This tariff makes American assembly of Chinese components more expensive than it already is. Finished goods made in China are unaffected.

For example, an assembled-in-china iPhone will stay the same, but the moment this comes into effect, the cost of making the Mac Pro in the US will go up substantially.

To avoid this, apple can either:

1. Shift Mac Pro assembly to any other country.

2. Switch out all their suppliers and components to ensure that nothing comes from China.

Most products have done #1 without the tariff. The tariff just makes it harder to justify keeping anything in the US.
> For a long time, saying a game was French was a shorthand way for an Anglo to say that it was, well, kind of weird, off-kilter in a way that made it hard to judge whether the game or the player was at fault.

Pff. This is only true for about 0.1% of French games, most of the other ones were typical generic games you'd find everywhere else and not particularly original at all. It's like judging Japanese movies by taking Kurosawa's movies as representative.

One way is to use the CI Pipeline feature of GitLab. When you commit your code, run it though a build stage (if necessary) and then a test stage. Any tests that output an error will cause the test stage of the CI Pipeline to fail.

I set up a simple proof of concept [1]. My goal is to complete the "Your First RPM Package" tutorial [2] using Web IDE from a iPad 6th Gen. [3] is the resulting CI Pipeline. I recognize this is nowhere near a "real" project (and hadn't ever planned to really share or use it). Maybe someone else has a more complete example?

Edit: Since you mentioned Java development, it might be worth reading through the answers to the Stack Overflow question "How to use GitLab CI to build a Java Maven project?" [4].

How is using their platform instead of my own computer not taking power away from me?

Most Indian technical and medical colleges have common entrance exams administered at the state or national level. Other specialized degrees - film & TV, fashion design, advertising & journalism - have their own entrance procedures which take into account high school final marks (a state-level common examination that all high-schoolers take) and possibly aptitude tests and interviews.

Arts, commerce, and science (non-engineering and technical) students (all of which sort of map to a liberal arts education in the US, albeit with different specializations) are admitted solely on the basis of high school final marks. Since a high school education is already pretty broad, wouldn't performance there be predictive of performance in a liberal arts institution? Obviously this is more of a problem in the US because you don't have common high-school final exams at a state or national level so it's hard to compare an A from High School Foo and an A- from High School Bar.
That's the literal goal of the SAT. A standardized test across all schools.

True is normally 1, while False is 0. This seems like specific variable declarations as well, which you generally don't need as they are built into all languages e.g. "variable = false;"

However maybe the professor needed 'true/false' to represent something to be used in his formulas so this made sense to him. But who knows.

Even if it is case that native speakers of a specific dialect score higher, it's not clear that the result is due to language barriers, and could be a correlation with socio-economic groups. That is the point of bringing up non-native speakers doing well, as the test is not even their native language, which is certainly a greater disadvantage than a different dialect.
OK, his client was a reality star. But now he's working for a controversial president. Who's under investigation by various agencies, probably including rogue elements of the NSA.

So is it any surprise that he'd be targeted?

If there aren't security firms that handle stuff like that, isn't that quite the market opportunity? From what I know, one would start with an iPhone. And then tweak for known fails. Buy the various hacking services/systems, and test against them. Not cheap, I know. And not easily doable without connections. But hey, better safe than sorry.
In most programming languages, including python, true is represented by 1 and false is represented by 0.

This script is changing it to be backwards, and python is flexible enough to allow that. But I would expect this would break most python libraries, because it's such a core language feature that's being completely restructured.

In addition, it would also be supremely discriminating if the "Psychopath exam" would, for example, consistently score Asians lower.

That is, a psychological or culturally acquired trait should not be used against an individual without a proof that it actually affects his behavior. You are in essence denying that the person has any agency and it's utterly incapable of learning and acting on society's moral code, which I bet is false for the vast majority of people with sociopathic tendencies.
For the record I have been predicting criminal charges in these threads for over a year now. You can’t make blatant misrepresentations that result in hundreds of millions of dollars being transferred to you without criminal charges eventually coming.

I don’t think she did it out personal greed (except perhaps greed for publicity) - I think she believed she would probably make the tech work and just never got there. But regardless of the reason, investors are out a ton of money as a direct result of material misrepresentations. You cannot “fake it ‘til you make it” at least where investors are concerned.

Because of the amount of money involved, these two defendants are looking at a stiff sentence. The federal sentencing guidelines would easily put them at the maximum (20 years), though they may get something like 10-12 years if they take a plea early in the process and don’t make prosecutors work too hard to prepare for trial. This will not be a Martha Stewart type of sentence.

It’s a sad day for everyone involved.

I agree, I’m in my early 30’s but I have no problem hiring people above 40’s. The key thing that I observe is indeed the ones who are still curious and always tinkering with new things, especially combined with their experience, are extremely powerful. Wouldn’t trade them for any young kid in the world. The instances where it doesn’t work out is when they have an inability to adapt or to change.
There is definitely a cultural divide. Among most of my white and Latino classmates, the SAT was treated like an IQ test: you just show up and see what happens. For better or worse, this is probably what colleges originally intended, for the SATs to be legal and non-controversial proxy for IQ. My Asian and Indian classmates treated it like any other test, something you can study for and improve at. They expected that they could boost their scores hundreds of points between their PSATs and SATs by taking classes and studying hard.
So the only victims of said guerilla style warfare will be the small shops. BiCo will get away with it, and get emboldened at their success. Might not pushing for a policy change be a better altrnative?
> it is the cultural norm and everybody's expectation. To a lot of people you may as well be a Martian to defy it.

Incentives play a major role in defining such a culture. It doesn't have to be a positive seemingly self-selected incentive to want to live in the suburbs, but negative ones play a major role as well, such as the insanely high costs to own property... due to severe limitations on developing high density multistory buildings in cities, which is why modern cities are exclusively full of either a mega skyscrapers or a single family homes. Or the ease of an automobile-first lifestyle - which is almost always a reaction to poorly developed mixed density urban areas, causing urban sprawl, not a cause of it.

Just because a lot of people have responded to opting the easiest options given to them doesn't mean the easiest option was the result of market/personal choices. Rather it was ultimately a result of the intention, or more often unintentional, side effects of government policy, not a prolonged series of personal choice.

This is hardly limited to just urban sprawl and land development. Thomas Sowell has a brilliant book on how this same cycle has been applied across US culture/politics/economics for decades after WW2 - well beyond just real estate - to nearly every major sector which influences modern US lives: https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Poverty-Politics-Thomas-Sowell...

If one considers government economic and social policy by their results, not simply their good intentions, this pattern can be seen in countless places. Yet the popular reaction by the media and political parties is so often to blame personal choice and 'unrestrained' markets for the output.
Is that controlled for measures of merit? Or is that the accidental effect of correlation between ex. academic performance and socioeconomic status?

All languages are going to have dialects. Trying to eliminate that "bias" is going to just result in removing language entirely from exams, unless we decide to make tests for every single test taker. But the point of standardization is to have a solid, uniform goal for all to work towards. And if you're applying to an American university and you have difficulty with what's considered standard American English, you will have far worse troubles in university.

And again, people from families of non-native speakers do well. Generally better than people who only have family who speak the native language and dialect.

That people think it's discrimination is quite clearly silly. :)

I think optimizing for the lowest total unfairness in the system is a worthwhile goal. Fairness is the ideal that we strive for in every other part of society. The second part of your question is pretty vague so I don't know how to answer it.
Edit: I read the article, and it makes sense that colleges are seeking to maximize their future revenue stream.
So you don't think that there is an advantage gained by being a native speaker of a dialect a test is written in?

The academic consensus is that there is.

The clearest example is that vocabulary is a large part of most standardized tests and native speakers have larger vocabularies than proficient L2 speakers.
Do you recall which album?
Article says 912 million barrels produced since 1999 with cost of extraction $40 per barrel for 36 billion spent on equipment, wages, etc. the average cost of oil since 2000 is $65 per barrel so 912 million barrels grossed 58 billion.

It isn't clear who invested 200 billion and why they continued to invest since they have a loss of 178 billion having only netted 22 billion.

VSTS does a lot of stuff GitHub doesn't, and has had GitHub as a source control option for a while.
These were publicly reported data sets of case counts. You can find them on various Ministry of Health websites.

Sourcegraph CEO here. VS Code is great for editing, but Sourcegraph is code search/browsing. So we switched to using a read-only code view that loads super fast on the web.

To address your last point, my first comment was not really specific to children, none of my comments really have been.

I enjoy thinking about these things. So indulge me.

Life objectively is a choice. There is no denying that.

The question I asked above is, should it be morally okay to negatively judge/discriminate people based on their choices, even for a choice that is societally necessary in aggregate?

At first it might seem like the answer is no - but counter examples are easy to think of. Take drinking water. Producing it is societally necessary. Would it be okay to negatively judge an intelligent software developer for pivoting and becoming a pipe repairman for the local water utility? many would think so! You might think it is a waste of his potential. It would not be considered taboo to negatively judge him for making that choice.

Of course there are differences with child birth, but they aren't relevant to the question I've asked above - which is sufficiently answered. The answer is yes, it's okay to judge/discriminate even for societally necessary things.

Of course, the next step is to take the reasoning farther, and ask more questions. Perhaps I shouldn't lump judging and discrimination together. But I'm satisfied here.

Just to circle back and explain how we got here:

1. I started by pointing out that child birth is a choice and that we commonly discriminate people for their choices

2. Someone responded that it is societally necessary in aggregate and not a choice

3. I showed a simple counter example that it is okay to discriminate against people even when that choice is societally necessary in aggregate

I don't agree that it's a different context. An end user might not care directly about OpenGL or any other low level feature, but these things will directly affect the availability and quality of third-party software for the platform, and hence factor a consumer's decision about which platform to invest in.

They just made up charges from a more or less standard set, as Stalin purged people across the entire depth and breadth of the leadership. Her father, a high-level regional functionary, has a Russian wikipedia page - it seems seems it's not entirely clear what he was charged with although the two possible stories outlined are among the staples of the time - espionage/plotting against Stalin/ counterrevolution or some subset of the former but more about 'wrecking', deliberate economic sabotage.

Back when Java came into scene, all major GC enabled systems programming languages had support for value types, some kind of off-heap allocation, some of them also had generics and were AOT compiled to native code.

But then the way it was massively marketed meant those languages died, with Eiffel and Oberon being the only two that are still kind of around, but they are pretty niche.

Thankfully .NET designers learned the lesson and kept value types, some ways of manually allocating, AOT compilation at installation time, reified generics, but "it's Microsoft" meant many did not explore this path.

Java is now trying to fix these bad decisions.

In a way Go is what Java 1.0 should have been.
To my mind, the actual problem is neither one of those things, but if Github is wrapped up into some new project. Many of the citations for Github aren't for software, but as a stable, open store for data.

Which means if that URL changes, that link - in a physical paper - goes stale.
So what I'm hearing is the solution to this migration problem is to also store the entire issue tracker as a git repo alongside the real repo and wiki repo? Git repos for all the things! (Seriously, I think this solution would fit right in along with the way Wikis are handled)

As someone who's moved between states and cities all across America, GPA really should be dumped for system like that.

I've lived in schools where an A/4.00's average score was 90-100 and I lived in another school where it ranged from 95-100. 3.00 would be from 80-89 at the one school and 90-94 at the other.

From raw GPA data, students who had a 90% average would look great if they graduated from the first school, but just OK if they graduated from the latter school. And I've had friends that went to schools that had max possible GPAs of 5.0.

It's a mess.
Speaking as someone who's spent a lot of time reading the Zork source code and the Z-machine spec that allowed it to be ported to an huge variety of ancient platforms (http://gunkies.org/wiki/Zork), I have to say, your dismissive attitude is wildly inaccurate.

Both the game and its VM platform were incredibly intricate works of genius.

I did.

Despite loving to learn, and spending a lot of time self learning, I never excelled in school. I skated by in High school, but my parents weren't pumped about paying for me to fail through college.

I dropped out Junior year to teach English in Brazil.

After I got back I realized I'm a college dropout, with a work experience in manual labor & restaurants, and I knew no one would hire me to do the things I wanted to learn.

So I started a company on an idea I was passionate about.

I told myself from day 1, whether the venture was successful or not, I was going to learn the skills and meet the people to do whatever I wanted to do next.

The venture was not successful, and I did meet the people and learn the skills to do whatever I wanted to do after, and it lead great places.

The Australian National University, headed by the Nobel Prize winning Brian Schmidt is going to change their admissions policy to be more like the US.

http://theconversation.com/anus-new-entrance-criteria-wont-d...

Amongst Australian academics there is a push to change ATAR allegedly because it reflects socio-economic status (SES) too much.

https://theconversation.com/should-we-scrap-the-atar-what-ar...

Andrew Norton, a researcher on academic policy points out however, that ATAR is a very good predictor for success at University.

https://andrewnorton.net.au/2018/06/14/does-atar-measure-mor...

FWIW having been through the Australian university system and having worked at US universities it seems that the Australian system actually rates pretty well. We don't have researchers of the quality of institutions that pay a huge amount but there is far less grade inflation (really compression) than in US universities because you're graded on a curve in the end. In other words, only 5% or whatever of a subject are expected to get HDs (As in US terms).

That's in print. In another paper, I expressly cite a GitHub repository as the source of the data used in the analysis. Pointing to data in papers is the way most of the scientists I know use GitHub - because it's relatively stable, not tied to an institutional account, and relatively pain free.
