> Someone can disagree with the concept and/or implementation of race based admission policies without being a racist eugenicist.

I agree. However, you went a step further and started suggesting a biological essentialism and history erasure. If you simply didn't know you were doing that then admit your opinion is ahistorical and go research the subject.

I think you're are now walking this statement back because it was such a weak point. I'm going to take screenshots in case you attempt to abuse editing.

> When it sounds like you do believe asian Americans start in a better place due to historical immigration policies and trends.

Please see Dr. Eugenia Cheng's 2017 talk "Category Theory in the Real World" for a primer in how to interpret this. There are multiple axis of privilege. Interestingly enough, admissions standards often address these axis by also considering family income and other historical details like presence or loss of family members.

The existence of affirmative action for specific groups does not create a zero sum exercise for white Americans, who also have access to a larger number of economic and social criterion for admissions and financial aid.
We need an HTML lite but AMP doesn't get us anywhere close to it because it's a custom dialect of HTML driven by a bunch of proprietary Javascript. The google search spider enforcing a 'lite' subset would have gotten us closer, if not there entirely. We know they can do it because the spider runs JavaScript, they could examine loaded content and measure time to first content. They don't because it's way more effective to get content providers into a walled garden where they can be monetized.
The Weight of Numbers: Air Pollution and PM2.5
Super excited to delve into this! I've read over the documents and examples and it's obviously very well thought out and well-abstracted.

In particular I really like a lot of the decisions made in regards the point object: using Float32Array, making it the primary abstraction, and keeping the number of dimensions unspecified.

I've been working through some ideas on ways to implement a Vectorpark style psuedo-3d projection engine and pts.js seems to have almost all the basic tools I needed to build and then some.
No those are separate displays not built into the windshield/screen.

Personally this really shouldn't be patentable but mainly because it's basically a software patent. There's not really much there that's physical other than the display and the fact it interacts with 'sensors' the rest is just a piece of software.

It's also relevant that SF is only 47 square miles, compared to the metro area's 3.5k square miles. In many of our cities, people commute to work in different cities (hence the horrible traffic). You can end up with different salary:rent ratios comparing jobs in a city to rent in a city than you'd get looking at salary:rent ratios of jobs of people living in a city to rent in a city. Both are interesting statistics in their own right.

I'd bet the difference in those two statistics indicates uneven housing supply (residential areas aren't the same as business areas) and small cities (residential areas are counted differently than business areas).

Sometimes the asker can't recognize that it is a duplicate - especially if the linked duplicate is a foreign concept to them. For example:

Q: "How do I extract just the last names from this list of contacts?"

A: Closed as duplicate of "How to use regex capture groups"

Asker then gets mad because they don't even know what regex is and the examples in the duplicate seem unrelated to contact lists so they are left without a plug-n-play solution like they were hoping to get.

MakerDAO can fall apart, too. From their white paper:

"If there is a sudden market crash in ETH, and a CDP ends up containing more debt than​ the value of its collateral, the Maker Platform automatically dilutes the PETH to recapitalize the system. This means that the proportional claim of each PETH goes down."

There's a lot of obfuscation about both that and Tether, but the reality is that a big drop in the asset held for stabilization will break the stability. And the asset is some cryptocurrency, not gold or land or something with a track record. Tether at least claims they have dollars, but their auditors are not convinced.
The easiest way is taking the median instead of the mean. For more info and other methods, search for “robust estimators”.
I have very successfully in the past and still do use HAProxy as level 4 LB. It's one of the fastest to my knowledge. I have used HAProxy as entry to big Mesos clusters without any issue before.

One example of using HAProxy as L4 LB instead of letting it do the termination is when it is proxying TLS traffic from and to multiple backends. Or Websocket. Or even as bastion LB for SSH should one bastion go down.
I agree with this. I figure I probably have the same number of dollars after paying for housing in Atlanta as I would working the same job in SF. But I can buy food, entertainment, etc. at Atlanta prices.

I like the notion of deep-field AR along the lines of Hololens or Magic Leap being possible with a simple pair of passive 3D glasses. This opens a range of possibilities, such as a whole new kind of IRL Mario Kart. (However this design would need to be safety-focused in a way that few video games have ever had to, which would likely detract from that particular experience.)

But, as another user has pointed out, this would need to be optimized for the viewer's head placement, resulting in a terrible experience for passengers. So the default should be a basic HUD. Facetime will be fine with this. Maps will probably need multiple modes for different levels of immersion based on user preference.
The input constraints might have been realistic 10+ years ago, but there aren't a lot of performance sensitive parsing problems that can safely do without either escaping or Unicode support.

One piece of history, hardly even contested, is that Hitler came to power when "moderates" were trying to "stem the tide" of "extremism" from the left and the right. von Papen--along with other industrialists, nobles, and political elites--wrote a letter to Hindenburg asking him to appoint Hitler as chancellor, then Hindenburg complied.

>People is overweight because they can not afford healthy food. Fruits and other healthier food is more expensive than junk food.

This is wrong. I study food as my expertise, and junk food is always less than 200 calories per dollar. Fresh fruit is similar while home cooked food is a significantly better value.

I wont address the other points until you revise this one. Its factually incorrect. Google Calories Per Dollar or Nutrient Per Dollar, or Mcdonalds Calories Per Dollar.

There are a lot of things you can do to create really new musics. Historically this was done by breeding with music from different cultures. India has quartertones and melody based rythmics, africa has polyrhythmie, etc. The problem is that nobody in the dying record company industry had the guts to finance the emergence of things created by innovators ( who obviously still exist somewhere), and since online music services recommend songs based on what you’re already liking, there’s just no chance you’ll hear those creations.

There should be a new section in apple music called « new things you’ve never heard that will probably take you a bit of time to enjoy, but then you’ll thank us for it »
Is there a difference between a "dialect" and an "accent"?

Yes! Most definitely.

I speak Norwegian with a fairly heavy English accent. The brand of norwegian I speak is a mix between "standard" bokmål, which is also kind of 'government-speak' and close to the Oslo accent, and Trøndersk, which is the local dialect where I live.

The english affects the way I pronounce things.

The difference in dialects is vast. Verbs are conjugated a bit differently: For some words, entire sounds are different. For example, "Hvor" (Where) is "Kor" in this region. Additionally, there are things like some pronouns being essentially a different word and different syllables dropped compared to other places. And lots and lots of differences like that. Even the melody is different depending on where folks are from. And these are within the same form of Norwegian - there are two official types. The written word is more standardized, but I have seen the local dialect in print form (I can barely read it).

So yes, I can completely see a southern accent being an accent, yet some things being a dialect. There is a much bigger difference between the accent and the dialect.
Yes, I get that. But in Mesos, for instance, you could use overlay-networks to get one virtual IP per HAProxy cluster (i.e. 3 HAProxy instances). They are then round-robin'd on each server in the whole cluster so that you have a transparent LB with a singular IP.
As far as I know, there is no way to link PostgreSQL as a library in another executable. At least, nothing supported by the official PostgreSQL project. Even MySQL, which used to be available as an embedded library, got rid of this, feature a long time ago. Do you have any link to this "underdocumented" feature?
Erm, apparently not, though I swear I saw that dateline earlier.
Absolutely. It's completely worthless in it's current state.

Also, the rent jungle numbers look a bit conservative for palo alto. In PA a 220 sq ft loft costs nearly 2000$/mo to rent. I think the 3900$/mo figure they have is a bit conservative for PA.

Furthermore, they compared 2BD as their normalization factor, rather than $/sq foot. I would imagine the more expensive areas get less Square footage for a given 2BD apartment.

And, notice how they conveniently didn't even mention any comparisons of salary to housing Buy costs.
They also weirdly assume you have a 2BR on a single income, which is not the norm.

It's not that HAProxy doesn't do L4. As I said, projects like GLB solves how to make the load balancer itself redundant; how to load balance the load balancer, so to speak.

According to ProPublica[1], in 2010 there were 1.6 million people in prisons in the US. Of those 128,195 were in private prison facilities. According to [2], the number of federal inmates in private facilities in 2016 was 22,000, which is down from 27,000 mentioned in the ProPublica piece in 2010. Additionally, in 2016 the Feds announced the intent to discontinue the use of private prisons. (Don't know if that has changed in the last two years or not.)

It doesn't seem like private prisons make any significant portion of the system.

You still rely on your cellphone and network. If Bitcoin becomes common enough, governments will find ways to ban / infiltrate / manipulate the network.

> People is overweight because they can not afford healthy food. Fruits and other healthier food is more expensive than junk food.

While I agree with the sentiment of your post, the meme quoted above needs to stop. Two bags of Doritos cost as much as a package of raw chicken that can feed a family, not to mention mass quantities of rice, beans, or even potatoes. Fruits and vegetables are very often <1 USD per pound. A single fast food combo meal can hit $10 USD, which can be groceries for one person for a week.

The problem with bad diets emerge from high stress, transportation issues, and lack of food education; not price tags.
The cameras we just lost were in mostly-residential areas on mostly-side streets, and all in school zones. These aren't freeways.

Every street in NYC is trafficked heavily by pedestrians, and that goes double near schools - where it's especially important for drivers to stick strictly to the speed limit.

Capitol Hill last year I was paying $3200/mo for a mediocre 1br. These prices seem accurate.

It'll move to central and southern Africa.

China has been sinking serious finances and engineering personnel into Africa for about 20 years. The Koreas have been trying too. Basically as soon as the Chinese middle class pushes up wages past the point where manufacturing is viable, they'll need a cheaper workforce.

Thanks to these long-view investments, they'll likely maintain control over manufacture for another few decades, at least.

India is already cooked. Despite their wage inequality, they're practically already post-manufacture. They've missed the boat.

More dangerous to drivers (especially those inclined to drive at dangerous speeds), maybe. More dangerous for pedestrians? I'm not sure about that -- especially if nobody's obeying the limit in the first place, getting drivers to slow down at all is a good thing.
