> Harvard's admissions policies do not have discrimination as a deliberate goal.

Apparently this "personality rating" was initially included in the Harvard application process explicitly to discriminate against Jews:

From the OP:

> Harvard has been here before. “To prevent a dangerous increase in the proportion of Jews, I know at present only one way, which is at the same time straightforward and effective,” wrote A. Lawrence Lowell, Harvard’s president in the 1920s, “and that is a selection by a personal estimate of character on the part of the Admission authorities, based upon the probable value to the candidate, to the College and to the community of his admissions.” The opacity of its admissions procedure could veil what Lowell’s written correspondence would later disclose to be a fully intended policy of discrimination.

> That's how things work here in the U.S.

That's how things are expected to work among large corporations which have terrible NPS scores ("net promoter score", basically how "loved" the company is by the public).

Tesla has an NPS score of 97. This is an impossibly high, legendary score.

The fact that they are willing to jeopardize this score over something like this is just... extremely short-sighted.

>Government bonds generally have a fixed term, so unless I'm mistaken, repayment can't be demanded all at once.

But espionage, market and currency manipulation, copyright and patent infringement and a miriad of other activities are illegal, yet China does them with impunity.

I can imagine they can demand whatever they want, (they are a sovereign nation) and can use that debt as a bargaining chip to be used in any negotiations.

In theory, I think you are correct, in practice, who know what is possible?

Bugs are different, 77790 is about color, 547260 is about CSS styling(+size control). Default scrollbar width is very thick and its color is out of web developer control. It's a pain for developer to make a good admin panel with several scrollable areas. JS-scrolling is not stable for all browsers and CPU-intensive for mobiles.
If that is truly the case, then we should encourage as many people as possible to visit the Tails' site. If the list changes from "these people are doing 'dangerous' things" to "these people know someone who likes technology", then the list itself becomes a lot less useful.
Only if you agree to it? (which is seems we have up till now)
As you have pointed out, good "faith" is in short supply in this conversation because there are extreme elements that will go to great lengths to maintain the status quo, despite all the evidence that it is long-term unmaintainable.

If you want to talk in good faith with me personally, there are a few things you have to accept as ground truth:

1) Human behavior has caused a change to the climate that is measurable and has real impacts to the environment.

2) Those changes are complex and driving systems in ways we do not fully understand, any more than we fully understood the systems before we started adding climate change into the equation. Despite this lack of understanding of all of its effects, this does not mean #1 is somehow disproven.

You tripped over #1 -- if we don't agree about that we will have a problem having a productive discussion.

Another commenter in this thread tripped over #2 -- if someone wants to litigate the minutiae of every historical prediction from climate scientists we will have a problem having a productive discussion.
All good points! And since each person has their own take on these other factors, I guess it explains why people live different places. (Besides our west coast snooty "flyover states" attitude -- lots of people really do want to live where they live!)
If you create a new Gmail account, as many people do, you can still be tracked with that. Using the same email address on multiple sites allows data aggregators to match your profiles from each site to build a very comprehensive picture of you. Of course, you could create hundreds of Gmail accounts, but then you have to manage hundreds of inboxes, which you won't do well leading to you missing lots of emails.

Maskmail essentially does this for you with extreme convenience.
I very recently rediscovered mine.

I was looking for a tool, and it didn't exist. But I did find an abandoned open source repo that could do the core 70% of the job - including the tiny core part that I didn't have the skills to even begin to implement.

So I began working on getting it to run at all and then to build the application I wanted around that core.

I would not have found so much joy in this project if it weren't for the following factors:

It was solving a problem that I really had. Maybe not anything important or urgent, but something that had been annoying me for ages.

It was within my grasp. I was able to make visible headway within minutes and more progress within hours. I didn't have to spend weeks buried in textbooks before even getting started.

It was challenging. It required learning technologies that are adjacent to the ones I work with every day but that I'd never touched. With every feature I wrote and issue I debugged I was learning something, and something potentially useful outside this project.

I was able to build momentum. A friend reminded me early on to skip the "make it right" and focus on just building the proof of concept. It had been years since I'd done that. It resulted in much faster progress and a much more rewarding experience. This was reinforced a few days in when I started to get bored with the project after an afternoon away from it - but as soon as I picked it up again and spent 20 minutes implementing another bug fix, I was utterly engrossed again.

And now that I'm feeling good about the project it's no longer arduous or intimidating to go back and add test coverage and proper configuration and to refactor things.

Finally, I made it unintimidating. As I built the project out it started to grow a backlog of notes about things to add or fix or improve. At about 20 items, though I didn't notice it, that list began to unconsciously weigh me down; by 50 it was paralyzing. I solved that by breaking out a separate document with just the next 3 small changes I want to make. That document isn't allowed to grow longer than 5 SMALL items.

Basically, the trick turned out to be hacking my brain to reassociate programming with a steady stream of tiny dopamine hits instead of a continuous stream of frustrations and "it's not good enough" judgements from both myself and external project stakeholders.
Yes, of course people would revolt, I fully agree.

Of course American citizens would revolt and demand non-market interventions, like minimum wage etc..

Without non-market interventions, they would be serfs, is my point.

My idea is that we have to take the focus off cleaning up, and put the focus on stopping the infinite creation of packaging/garbage.

Instead put the focus on creating a system of highly standardised containers for selling food and other products in.

These containers would be washing and refundable, and could have paper branding stuck on them.

Surely there's opportunities here for a startup to be the creator of such a system?
Howdy,

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate venue, but I wanted to ask the community what to do. The details can be found in that reddit post.

In summary, a trademark lawyer is sending me threatening emails for uploading Magic Leap's API documentation to github. No one viewed these except me. Github's traffic stats show 2 viewers total.

Should I just take down the docs and forget about this? It feels wrong that a billion-dollar startup is threatening the very developers they're counting on to make them money, so I didn't necessarily want to encourage this behavior.

Ultimately, I think I'm willing to make a stand over this, but ideally I'd like to not be dragged into court over some 3 month old API docs. What are my options?

The ideal outcome would be that Magic Leap changes its behavior before it becomes the norm. It seems like if we tolerate this now, it's going to get worse later.
> Already in February of 1984, PC Magazine could point to at least four other GUIs of one sort or another in the works from other third-party developers: Concurrent CP/M with Windows by Digital Research, VisuALL by Trillian Computer Corporation, DesqView by Quarterdeck Office Systems, and WindowMaster by Structured Systems

I've at least heard of the latter two, unlike the former ones, or VisiOn. IIRC,they were mentioned in the documentation of some program or game or another I had found and tried to run on my assembled-or-modified-from-scrap computers back in the mid-90s. I assume they had achieved some measure of success and presence in the marketplace (however small or brief that may have been), had they managed to be worth mention in an old DOS or Windows application's documentation.

I'm curious if they'll be covered in subsequent articles in this series.

I would say in other flamewar topics, publishing data has had a net positive effect. For example, having some data on GPL vs BSD license usage has not killed the flame war but it has elevated some of the discussion. Similar for comparing install/download numbers of Vi vs Emacs. It is unlikely to cause anyone to "switch side" but it reduces the anecdotal noise and focus the discussion to either be about the strength and weaknesses of each side or to be about the data collection method.

I personally can't think of a single flamewar topic where data has poured fuel on the flame and made the discussion worse. Could be a failure of imagination of course but past experience has been clearly on the positive. I see however that the work is unlikely to be done by you all if you collectively don't think it is a good idea.
It should sound like that, but unfortunately the point they are making is true.
"Lawrence Lowell, Harvard's president from 1909-1933"

Harvard's current policies do not explicitly have discrimination as a goal. They'd get sued to hell and nobody would go there if they did. Can Harvard's policies have effective bias or be applied in a biased way? Sure. But the Soviet stuff was not remotely as subtle, let alone subject to any kind of legal remedy.

You'd then be defining "successful businessman" as a subjective X-factor. But that X-factor doesn't apply here; the argument above was that, as a successful businessperson, Trump has demonstrable competence in dealmaking. If he barely beats the S&P500 (or, depending which of 5 years in the late '70s or early '80s you start counting, severely lags it), that competence hasn't been demonstrated.

There is income tax (interest / gains on stocks / crypto etc is not seen as income).

And there is tax on your valuable possessions on the first of January, exceeding 25.000 a person, so 50.000 if you're together, ex. your first home and substantial ownership of a company. First home is tax free. Subtantial company ownership is taxed differently.

Valuable possessions include art and cars kept only as investment (gray area), cash (exceeding a certain limit), crypto currencies, second home(s), stocks, bonds, savings.. but not the things you use in your household, such as the family car(s)..

> What is it storage storing if not data or files?

Objects. Cloud Storage is the S3 competitor.

> Why are files not data?

“Data” as in rows in a database. Like Dynamo.

Everything on a computer is data. The thing you’ve got to understand is that the terms we use, “objects”, “files”, “data” — these don’t refer to types of data, but rather to access paradigms for data. The semantics of their storage, indexing, mutability, etc.

An object is a blob of data named by a key, that you can retrieve entirely, or overwrite entirely, and where usually you automatically get a version history of old versions that have been overwritten that you can retrieve, with a cutoff for automatic GC.

“Data” is a structured tuple that a database knows how to index into, and sort by the columns of. You insert rows, update columns of rows by a key, or delete rows by a key.

“Files” are seekable streams where you can index anywhere into a file by position and then read(2) or write(2) data at that position, and where other clients can see those updates as soon as you sync(2), without needing to close(2) the file first.

All could be used to implement the other (S3 is implemented in terms of Dynamo rows holding chunks of object data, for example.) But each access semantics has use-cases for which it is an impedance match or mismatch.
You know we could probably leave the personality aspect of the admissions process in and allow more Asians in if they just did away with legacy admissions. Ending legacy admissions makes more room for everyone else but still allows Harvard to maintain subjectivity in admissions.
1. Subscription products are not reliant on advertising. Payment technologies are not. Neither are ecommerce operations, or in-person services. Just because a firm can advertise their products does not mean it is reliant on advertising. A firm advertising is not the same as it having an advertising revenue business model.

Advertising revenue is ad CPM (how valuable the ad is and how well it's targeted) multiplied by ad impressions (which is why people measure page views, time on site, minutes watched, etc.) Both matter in the model.

I think what the author is trying to across is that despite the technological and scientific advances we still struggle with our understanding of how pain works. I mean a 7T MRI is ridiculously powerful and at the end of the article one of the scientists from the lab tells the author "That map is actually really difficult to make sense of".

They do discuss a little bit about the brain coping with pain in religious versus atheist participants about halfway down the article where in the religious population they found that a neural area was engaged that is associated with ability to override physical response.

I think this article is important right now because pain and pain management has been one of the driving forces behind the opioid epidemic that has been sweeping across the continent. Understanding pain is an important part of managing it.

I've been in this space pretty much throughout the whole period. Applets never took off as a serious option. They peaked briefly around 2000, then flash took over and by 2005 Ajax happened and JS took over.

As for build times, modern javascript is like having all of the disadvantages of a tedious build process without most of the advantages. You are spending the time, yet still don't have static type analysis and exclusion of whole categories of bugs. The reality is that, mostly for political reasons, javascript was the only thing that ran in a browser and after particularly MS (but certainly not them alone) ran into trouble with security issues, nobody really dared to do much else for a long time. Plugin APIs were deprecated, proprietary browser specifics were abandoned, etc.

So, what's happening now is a long over due correction where people compile to some heavily optimizable subset of js called wasm. As soon as that becomes commomplace the whole argument for javascript needs to be revisited, pretty much for the first time this century.
but if the customer was threatening or rude to their employees they have every reason to give a cool response.

Yeah, you better be biting your tongue while giving your biggest smile while you try to explain to the customer how your trashed a car worth more than some houses in the U. S., and how you're not in any particular hurry to correct that. And if the customer yells at you a little bit, or says rude things, be glad that's the worst of it.
Yeah, it's kind of annoying that most parallel libs only show single-depth/degree examples.
