The ABCs do make some profit from moisture... They buy moist at a discount, and blend it with anything dryer than spec and sell it at spec. This practice probably generates roughly a 0.5% boost to revenue depending on the weather. This would be incredibly hard for farmers to capture because it requires buying from places with a wet harvest and places with a very dry harvest.

The UK even allows visa-free 24-hour transit that allows leaving the airport for almost anyone.

While studying in the US, I once booked a flight to visit my relatives in Prague, flying into Heathrow, then flying out from Gatwick 18 hours later, leaving me with a whole day to explore London. It's supposed to be at the immigration agent's discretion, but he was happy to let me through, despite my Armenian passport.

Return leg was slightly more complicated, because the airline staff in Prague refused to check me in, since the flight was to London, and I had no UK visa. After at least half an hour of arguing, they ended up drawing up a waiver for me to sign, and let me on.

He explicitly told you that diversity is an empty term and explained why. You even demonstrated it yourself in your other comment: you don't care about diversity, you care about people being judged on their competence alone.

You -say- you care about diversity, but that's not the explanation you've given. At best diversity is a tool to be used in the very particular case where it would help competence representation. By your comment, it would be in the case of untrue stereotypes.

"Exposure to the people we have those narratives about shows us how wrong they are."

The problem is that studies have shown that most stereotypes are true. (Really!)

This brings me to the next point : you somehow fail to mention the cases where it would be counterproductive to push for diversity, even if they are most cases. (At least for your stated goal.)

So which is it? Do you pursue diversity, or competence representation?
If it's competence, will you accept to openly fight against diversity?
> I'm a software developer on the side and would love to stop residency to try a healthcare startup and/or pursue a research, but the risk is too great - I need the attending salary to pay off the debt.

This is exactly why I pressed a giant pause button halfway through my MD to get a PhD in computer science. There was no other time I could do it. After 4th year? Too much debt; also looks bad for residencies to take time off. After PGY-1? Too much debt; would hurt me if I wanted to do a full residency. After residency? Too much debt; also that forces me to wait quite a few more years before pursuing my research/software dev ideas.

Right now I can manage the debt from the first two years with my graduate stipend + summer internship gigs in the industry. If I had waited even one more year to do this, the debt would have been be prohibitive.

As someone who's taken two linear algebra courses at different schools -- it's really not. When the expected level is familiarity with basic concepts vs. being prepared for a top-tier graduate degree program, the course content becomes very different. When this is aggregated over all of your courses, then you start to get a gigantic disparity.
Think about the two sides of this. You are weighing your interest in genealogy, no doubt legitimate but arguably a curiosity, and your perceptions of its value, against their interest in personal safety and keeping possible threats at bay, and their perceptions of the value of that. And in doing so you are also asking for what they will consider their personal information, in effect, in the form of photos. Who do you think has the heavier weight to consider here? Is your quest really all that important?

>I knew this, but reading it again in this context makes many business decisions very clear.

Yeah. You can get this very clear in your mind by considering a few examples. Here's one.

How much demand is there for legal, genuine, clean $2 bills that are legal currency and have no meaningful restrictions (won't get you in trouble, nothing special about it)?

Barring anything I can think of, just your personal demand for such bills should be at least a billion of them... at the price point of $1.99 each. (For a profit of 1 billion * $0.01 = $10 million USD. There are some logistics involved, according to Google a U.S. dollar bill weighs about a gram, so a billion grams weigh in at around 1102 tons. So that is approximately $9074 per ton. But for $10 million you'll figure the logistics out.)

And now compare your personal demand for them at $2.00. That's probably about 0 in number. Why would you want even one of them, they're less useful than the $2 in other currency you bought it for.

So just your personal demand for a legal $2 bill is either a billion of them or 0 of them, depending on whether we're talking about the price point of $2.00 or $1.99.

Demand is at a given price point.

This sentiment, which I read repeatedly, really irritates me. Most of us program here. It's not that hard a problem! When social media execs claim it is, what they really mean is "it's a hard problem to solve for us, because we are unwilling to risk losing any percentage of account sign-ups ever, under any circumstances."

The irony is that they are so timid about their precious sign-ups that they act against their own interest. For example, YouTube won't risk a short term dip in user retention metrics to scrub garbage from their comments... even though doing so would likely greatly increase sign-ups in the long term.

You make two arguments that I fundamentally disagree with.

1.) Individual women inherently bring a perspective that individual men do not, and vice versa. And more importantly, the needs and perspectives of people in a given group can not be understood by those outside of it.

2.) A technical team necessarily benefits from diverse perspectives. What if they're building low level drivers for circuit boards? What if they're programming an application, but have no bearing whatsoever on the product decisions or design?

I find these ideas, particularly #1, to be diametrically opposed to liberal philosophies of universality and the focus on the individual. I legitimately find that line of reasoning to be abhorrent.

The idea that everything is fine as long as it goes along with one's worldview is dangerous. Using powerful tools to manipulate society is something that needs to be done carefully and more often than not, not at all.

Companies working as carriers for our social exchanges and turning that into profit is probably less good than evil. I think I'd rather be (back) in a world where if you published something, you did it yourself and the only people controlling it were doing so if you broke a law.

I like the idea of withholding tuition from future earnings. That way we can get rid of all the "underwater basketweaving" courses that are so popular today, and focus on the ones that the economy actually needs (as in, is willing to pay top dollar for).

There's one "but" however: this does absolutely nothing to improve affordability, so some mechanism needs to be devised to reduce overhead costs, and put a cap on profits. I would prefer if that mechanism were market-based as well.

Side note... not related to the same root cause, but related to a similar end user problem... I've been staying in a lot of hotels lately and using a lot of very slow internet connections (not by choice, that's just what is available) and I wish Chrome had some sort of "low bandwidth" mode where it would only allow requests from your current tab, or maybe current window (easily open a new window to control which tabs could use bandwidth). That would make a big difference for us road warriors and nearly everyone when they're on vacation.

And do you know what a straw man is? The reason I ignored suggestion of the wife being executed in my response is likely the same reason that the author's assertion was cut from the piece. Its based on one source referencing exactly one individual. This not only substantially increases the probability of this being a lie (consider: traitorous spies have, by definition, already shown an interest in hurting their nation and the people of it for money, and are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to achieve that end), but provides 0 information on what happened and why - which leaves the reader, you in this case, left to fill in the gaps with the most heinous story imaginable.

You were implicitly stating you oppose the execution of spies. And that is certainly your right. At the same time, I think many people do not consider what traitorous spies actually are and do. I'm also generally against the death penalty, but not unconditionally - traitorous espionage would certainly be near the top of the shortlist of things that I think fully justify execution.

Having experienced it myself, I'd say "it depends" - on the airline and the country.

In my case it was a connecting Air France flight from Paris to Mumbai that had to turn back to Charles De Gaulle after encountering problems en-route. Half the passengers were Indian nationals with either single-entry/expired Schengen visas (like me) or people passing through from North America or the UK.

The Air France staff wasn't particularly apologetic about it. They did everything that they were supposed to but half-assed it. Everyone who needed transit visas got them but we had to spend 6 very frustrating hours in line with not much communication. They sent sandwiches for passengers waiting in line but vegetarians got left out. The airline put up everyone in a hotel, with shuttles to and from the airport, but I got to the hotel at 3 AM (after waiting in line for a transit visa for so long) and the next flight was the following afternoon, so I couldn't get much sleep.

Two thoughts come to mind:

1. I’ve had people who like to “check in” too early.

They audit while I’m still developing something and create all kinds of reports about non-compliance yet I’m no where near completion. Their advice was “we need to catch this early.” These people literally logged unfinished stub functions scheduled for implementation next week as “requiring serious refactoring / dead code”.

This is like complaining about the lack of coffee because you’ve grabbed the cup away while someone was pouring the coffee into your cup.

2. Expectations management / assumptions.

Perhaps you need to schedule meetings where features are assumed to be complete by that time. And you have standards agreed up front. How the user experience is meant to be. Eg storyboards. Basically no UX surprises.

Misunderstandings and lack of communication around expectations are too common.

My first sound card was a Gravis Ultrasound Max I bought for around $400 maybe?

Cut out a part of the PC cage so it could fit. Added memory from an old video card to it and it worked great.

But things were going so fast that maybe one/two years later the Soundblaster 2 came on the market. Maybe it was $200 and producing much better sound.

Edit: changed the prices as others point out they are wrong.

Stereotypes exist, and people have irrational confidence in the relative spiciness of their culture's cuisine. Unless you have some kind of spice challenge, your food isn't that hot. Just about every wing place in America sells wings that you can order that are just as hot as food you can find at your average Indian restaurant, or Jamaican restaurant, or Sichuan restaurant.

Every job has folk wisdom and heuristics. I worked retail and then retail tech support for years. I've had to deal with plenty of employees who wouldn't listen to customer's preferences because that preference didnt match some heuristic they were using.

They had the same justifications--"They don't really want it, they'll just end up returning it."

Those employees who insited on treating all of their customers like children because of a few bad experiences were consistently poor performers.

Their heuristics were detrimental, but they kept using them because people are very vulnerable to confirmation bias. No mass hysteria required.

Listen to your customer. Give them advice, warn them if necessary, but don't treat them like a child because you once interacted with an asshole who looked a bit like them.

That's an amazing news! Being aware that education costs a lot is important, but being able to afford education is paramount.

I very heartily disagree with letting the market decide education priorities, for two reasons.

First, education is chock full of positive externalities, which will never be realized correctly. While "the economy" doesn't need underwater basket weaving - or art history, or literature - society still does. Even if people don't work in their field, the world is better for the increase in knowledge. Man does not live on engineering alone.

Second, the invisible hand can only do its work in a world where the effects of decisions are predictable. Given the long lead time on a choice of major affecting your income - at least four years, arguably more if you factor in choice of AP classes on high school - that's never going to be the case. Say this system had been in place in the 90s, and say you're okay with underwater basket weaving students getting the short end of the stick because, well, they signed up for it. Fine. But what do you say to the computer science class of 2001?
