I was thinking of Andre 3k at the OutKast reunion tour with the "sell out" thing here.

I'm also a software engineer at Google and I think our stock price has gone up too? I might be wrong.
I largely agree, but would add:

Saudi use of US precision weapons systems has been far from precise.

It still depends on weapon system operator skill, as well as rules of engagement, IE not knowingly targeting civilians or having much higher thresholds for civilian casualties.

As far as Saudi nuclear development, the Saudis have never been know for doing things themselves, preferring to hire mercenaries.

In the case of nuclear development, I think it’s safe to say that Saudi financing for Pakistani nuclear development (directly or tangentially) represents a nuclear program by proxy.

If push came to shove, I could easily imagine Pakistan flying several “leased” nuclear weapons to Saudi Arabia to:

1) ensure Saudi regime continuity

2) enhance existing Pakistani influence with Saudi
You can have an astounding career in sales (wholesale). A manufacturer can have thousands of retailer clients, as a sales rep or sales manager if you can remember a few hundred you will do well especially at the trade shows because retailers come in in the random order. You will also do well switching from one job to another because that’s also about networking.

Do you think it’s contagious, whatever it is you have?
The problem carries through time, not just at the moment you're making the decision to invest. What about the better potential cancer researcher who was left behind because their parents were poor? What about the one that decided to go learn programming because they couldn't get the exclusive internship due to lacking connections?

The position that states "remedying inequity costs more than simply giving it all to the current best" is a shortsighted one.
What makes it more than just a guess is both Turkey and the US disclosing that they possess evidence of the murder.

Possibly a geopolitical poker bluff, but unlikely something two countries would openly state(not just leak) if untrue.

> When I meet people I totally tune out when they say their name, partially cause I'm socially nervous, but also my mind is jumping ahead thinking about interesting things/questions, like what they do or the meaning of their t-shirt slogan.

I repeat a person’s name as I introduce myself, yet it’s completely reflexive (“Hi X, I’m Y.”). I don’t internalize the name and then I don’t know it a few seconds later. I developed stressful coping mechanisms in college to hide this, but have since learned to be very proactive about advising people that I often forget names and will need to ask later. I don’t feel any shame or awkwardness when I have to ask because this disarms the situation.
Mean IQ world-wide (and also in America) is 100. Software engineers here in San Francisco are nowhere close to average intelligence across the US. Data shows differences across professions for IQ, and software engineering lands firmly on the 2 stddev (130 IQ) mark. Remember, populations aren't distributed evenly, and smarter people than average tend to end up in SF Bay. It's difficult to be well-calibrated if you haven't spend enough time outside the bubble here.

There is a crucial "if" that you ignored. If you cheat on your taxes to avoid paying millions of dollars of taxes that are you required to pay, I think it's fair to say that you are betraying your country. I don't know enough about this particular case to say that applies to her, but the major publications covering this appear to take the tax evasion for granted. If she didn't evade her taxes, then this is travesty of justice. Are you saying that you don't think her actions are relevant? Or do you have outside knowledge that the charges are false?

Honestly, I think that the boost provided by money is probably quite small. At a certain level, poverty is going to detract from a young person's ability to succeed, but money very rarely begets success.

What I think is far more likely the case is that parents who succeed in their lives are far better prepared to teach their children how to succeed as well. Further, that they're better at giving them a leg-up in networking and opening doors for them.

The fact that this study cites "academic success" as a measure for determining capability for business success shows that the author himself doesn't really understand how to make big money. Does he really think most entrepreneurs are genius level IQ?

I have a totally different interpretation. This study is evidence pointing towards the extreme failure of the public school system. The purpose of public schools is to provide talented, hard-working people with the tools to succeed. Schools haven't been preparing children for success, they've been largely focused on preparing them for college, and in turn for graduate school. They have not been teaching kids the values and skills which allow them to genuinely get ahead in life.
wiby.me is fun.
Think of how much society is set back because people who have no interest or ability with "networking" aren't given the opportunities that they should have had. Instead, we end up with the most socially aggressive / self promoting running practically everything (badly).
>They would do fine with Russian or Chinese weapons. Hell, they have enough money to kick-off their own military industrial complex.

Their airstrikes on Yemen require US military assistance, and without active support for their blockades they would be seen as the war crimes that they are and would halt immediately. Maybe they could still wage war without the US, the toll on the population would be dramatically higher and the regime would not be able to maintain stability.

>They remain a vassal state to the US.

>Countries with global reach have done worse in my eyes.

These are the acts of the United States. Full stop. They can only happen because of the US and they serve US interests. That's how vassals are. This isn't some global match for supremacy with Russia and China, this is the imperial desire of the US.
Internet access is still pretty variable throughout the world (or even within countries that can have good speeds, like the US). Anything randomly uploading megabytes is going to cost somebody an unreasonable amount of money so there should be consent.

Skyscrapers require extensive excavation already, because you don't want them to fall over. You might as well drop some parking in there, since it won't double the cost as it would for a strip mall. It still won't "suffice", because although you've added a couple hundred spaces (at the most) you've also added at least a couple thousand more people who need to get to and from the building.
It's better to be born rich than gifted, if you think that college graduation rates are the number one most important thing in the world.
Even if we accept that scrubbing of personal data is possible, which is far from certain, that theoretically non-malicious traffic still provides camouflage for malicious traffic. If we insist on opt-in, then we can apply a very simple and fail-safe heuristic: any traffic the user didn't explicitly request is malicious. There's no need for slow and error-prone analysis.
Thanks. The scales have dropped from my eyes!!
For anyone curious about the numbers around what tptacek is saying (given the popularity of the myth that the US mass incarcerates pot smokers):

The strong majority of all prisoners are in for violent crime and property crime. Public order offenses (which includes eg weapons and DUIs) are nearly as large as all drug offenses.

There are about 60% as many people in state prisons for just burglary, as all drug offenses.

In 2015, only 3.4% of people in state prisons were in for drug possesion of any type. Marijuana would be a small subset of that figure.

If you call it 'networking' it sounds bad.

If you call it 'getting out there and speaking to people, listening to what their problems, hopes, opinions are, and sharing the same yourself and making a connection to see if you can mutually help each other' then it suddenly sounds like a better thing, doesn't it?
Oh! I didn’t know that had a name. Yes - it is indeed a topological sort. At least the way I’ve implemented it, the performance problem is that moving an operation from position K to position N in the output requires O(|K-N|) steps. CRDTs can do this work in O(log(|K-N|)) steps.
Now you're getting some of the logic of civil asset forfeiture. (I don't support or not support it).
I was merely giving you the clearest possible examples, since you seem to be confused about what possible harm nepotism could cause.

Sure, in some situations, it may be ambiguous who is actually the better pick. For argument's sake, let's assume such choices are ALWAYS ambiguous. If you're consistently picking your friends in those situations, you're nevertheless creating a perception of nepotism (read unfairness) throughout the rest of the company, which will minimally be harmful to morale. So yeah, even if you're not being particularly nepotistic, guarding against the perception of nepotism is still important.

My bigger concern, however, is that it's very easy for someone to rationalize nepotism when they're a beneficiary.

I really don't know enough about the specifics of your situation to know if nepotism is much of a concern, but I definitely don't think your friend's "nepotism is GREAT" stance is worth taking seriously.
Anthropology Meets Self-Driving Cars
Hmm, not really.
Along these lines for linux. I've got some hacky scripts set up on my computer so that everything runs in a network namespace with only a loopback device (i.e. no internet) unless I start it by typing `net command` (like `sudo command` but for internet). I could post them if people are interested.
In other words, put your money where you mouth is. But I have read that they make $2 billion a year on this. So why would they give that up when people are giving them credit without actually changing something crucial like that? It's too much money.

I think it comes down to legal manipulations rather than PR. If someone can find a legal way to force Microsoft to stop the exfat stuff, maybe with some other Linux related patent litigation, then they will. But it might need to be worth $2 billion which is a pretty big ask. On the other hand other large corporations have a lot invested in Linux and certainly some of those executives must be able to see through this PR so maybe they can do something.

I wonder if there is any possibility of dropping exfat entirely over the next few years.
Tokyo-by-night is a by-product of the 80s American panic over Japanese competitiveness in technology and manufacturing. It's a common theme of media at the time.

To back up the other comment, recent studies find that students from worse secondary schools with worse grades end up outperforming students from more selective schools with better grades once in medical school.

So in order to get the best doctors you can't just be all "meritocratic" by looking only at the results, i.e. grades, but have to take other factors into account.

Networking isn't talking to people about important things. It's talking to people with the specific goal of moving your career forward. That's what makes chronic networkers insufferable, and those people give networking a bad rap.
Ahhh so that's why high-quality games keep coming to ios.
>The fastest way to lose global political influence is to send your allies to buy weapons from your adversaries. How did it work with North Korea, Iran and Syria?

What? Nothing like that situation happened in any of your examples. North Korea went from Japanese to Soviet control due to WWII treaties, Iran revolted against US control, and Syria happily bought US arms until the civil war started.

>When France cut off Israel’s weapon supplies in the late 1960s, all it did was to accelerate the development of the Israeli defense industry and replacement of all French hardware with US one.

This is pretending that they ever really lacked the support of the US, or that the UK support wasn't omnipresent as well. And, this directly contradicts your last point, as Israel was already shielded by the West yet pursued a nuclear program.
Everything about networking is shady and discriminatory. Networking should be made illegal.
This isn't about working, it's about getting together in cliques to decide who should be offered the best positions, based on mostly irrelevant personality factors.
Everipedia: The Wikipedia for being wrong ... but on the blockchain
One project I think is interesting is LeBron James' school. When I looked at what the biggest changes are between his school and a normal school, it all looks to me like surrogate parenting -- like he is moving elements from the parenting column into the school column: meals, clothing, transportation, scholarships, literally helping the parents find jobs. My vision for what creates academic and financial success is similar to LeBron James, but I don't support expanding the education system to include more daycare and parenting elements, and I think the government is uniquely horrible at delivering those elements at scale.

In my view the educational component is fine, access to information is better than ever, the major difference is the negative effects of the poverty environment, which can't be resolved through the education system.

Another thing that has to be identified is the components that are zero-sum versus non-zero-sum. In a zero-sum competitive process if educational attainment is based on resource consumption, the wealthy will always win.

I think we basically have an opposite view of the causal relationship. I think education is a product of prosperity, and I think you view prosperity as a product of education. It could be resolved by a randomized controlled trial like drugs are tested, but unfortunately it would be unethical since we'd have to randomly deny people education, or destroy their prosperity.

I do like the commenting on this site but is there a way to collapse comments without downvoting? The fact that I have to scroll halfway down the page to find comments actually relevant to the article is a major flaw with HN's threading system.
They are more of a second factor ("something you have") rather than a first factor ("something you know"). That being said, for the vast majority of people, the only attack they're worried about preventing is their phone being stolen then subsequently used to access their financial accounts, mail, or social media. This attack is handled well by FaceID, since if criminals are in possession of your phone and not your person, it's unlikely they'll succeed in unlocking your phone. On the other hand, if they are in possession of your person as well, then they have straightforward approaches to compel you that no amount of phone technology would protect you from.

I can say with confidence that there is no such thing as "dark matter", except as a metaphor. All we have is a theory about why a mathematical model doesn't quite fit the available data. Astronomers are masters at marketing because it keeps the money coming their way.
What is confusing is that I realized there are cases where Nepotism could be net-comparable or even net-benefit. I had never considered there to be an ethical upside to nepotism before, only a downside.

So that's why I was shocked.
My company does everything it can to not get direct input from employees. Need a new office layout? They don't ask employees but hire an outside company. Want to increase engagement? Don't ask employees but have some consultants at headquarters develop strategies. Want to improve project management? Hire outside consultants and don't get input from employees.

It's really weird. They do everything they can to make their employees into replaceable cogs without any input. My engagement would go up a lot if our input would be listened to. For example if my team proposes an office layout why not actually do it that way instead of doing something nobody wants? Or if projects are always late maybe ask the workers what they think the problem problem is and then fix these issues.
Yes. Thanks. Please see my other replies for clarification.

Pretty black and white presumptions (but license talks often end up that way).
This probably sounds really cliched by now, but this seems like the perfect use for influencer marketing. Social networks are always driven by network effects, and having big names there early is what often drives the initial engagement.

So approach a bunch of popular people on Twitter/YouTube/Instagram/whatever (including celebrities), and try to incentivise them to use your social network, as well as to advertise it to their followers.

> Should society be allowed to try to give the poor but genetically gifted children a boost in life? Nobody’s suggesting that parent’s shouldn’t use whatever resources they have.

But to a certain extent it is zero-sum. The way you boost smart poor children is by taking money from non-poor parents. So you really are suggesting that non-poor parents "shouldn't use whatever resources they have." I don't think anyone fundamentally opposes this, but there is a legitimate philosophical question about how much redistribution is appropriate, and what criteria go into defining "appropriate."
Nah, I wouldn't pay for a social network, and I don't think there's anything a social media platform could do to earn my dollars (or pounds in my case).

The only hope in hell you'd have to incentivise me to join such a network would be to get every friend, family member and celebrity I follow/associate with to join first, and even then I'd be hesitant to pay money for something that feels like it should be free.

Sorry.

> having seen the difference in productivity, I'd hire a 40+ senior over 3 juniors in a heartbeat most of the time

Honestly I think it's not directly ageism, but indirectly, many people are afraid of managing people with significantly more experience or just plain older than them. So if the team lead is 35 with 10 years eng experience, they will probably be worried about a 45 y/o with 25 years eng experience who will challenge their authority and possibly prevent them from leading the whole team the way they want. Developing the maturity to not just cope with but thrive on managing people with much more experience / knowledge than yourself takes time, especially for engineers who tend to derive their authority primarily from their technical knowledge / experience. Eventually it will happen, but only after those managers replace technical experience with actual management experience as the basis of their self-worth / ego / authority.
Perhaps, but you are almost guaranteed a terrible manager and many, many meetings in this scenario.
