On the one hand, harvard and the left repeatedly say we should live in a colorblind society. Race is not important and it isn't even real. It is a social construct of no importance to who the person is. They tell us only raicsts are obsessed with race and only racists see color.

That's a MASSIVE straw man. Harvard won't argue that, and nobody who studies race and equality issues will argue that.

I'm assuming that you are looking for actual discourse on the topic. The issue of color-blindness vs. race consciousness is pretty well-trodden territory in the context of studying racism. If you google those words, you'll find plenty of literature about it. I just tried it and there are several good discussions of the topic in the first couple pages.

The short version is that colorblindness doesn't address the "rich get richer" effect, so if you want to close the gap, you're going to have to look at ways to create catch-up mechanisms.

If we are all humans and equal, why does race matter? Who cares if the humans attending harvard are all white or all asian or all black? We are humans right?

You're assuming that the default behavior is fair. That's fundamentally not true. If you're looking for the actual argument made by Harvard and "the left," then this is it: the default is unfair, and the goal is to make it fair.

> According to research, materialism has been linked to a variety of mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression, as well as selfish attitudes and behaviors.

It would be interesting to many here, I suppose, to find details of such research. Also comparisons of problems caused my materialistic world view versus idealistic world view could be interesting.

However we may easily trip into religious disagreements here, which are both burdensome and seem to be quite outside of the YC area. May be we best leave this topic undiscussed here?

Nootropics (SEMAX + selank + alpha-GPC, for example, or noopept + aniracetam + alpha-GPC) and a multivitamin + D & K + chelated/TRAACS magnesium supplement (eg, AOR Ortho-Core + Life Extension D & K + Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium). Iodine protocol. Brainwave entrainment audio and/or meditation.

BTW, fuck Google! I didn't feel like an imposter while there (2010), but they seemed obsessed with having me do just that! The development tools were garbage and got in the way, the workstation was magically always slow, GWT use further slowed compile/development time, others would cough or make other noises that interrupted, etc.

I don't see why anyone would feel like an imposter around vanilla posturing as though they're something else. Maybe the myth of Google is clouding your judgment (unless you really aren't any good). Anyone poised is either full of it, or more experienced with the environment/tools.

Nootropics tend to increase verbal fluidity and mental clarity. If you decide to do it, take the stack 5 days/week. Start on a weekend to buffer against initial/side effects.
Depending upon the state a few ounces of weed could get him locked away for far longer than it would take to get his mental illness under control. That to me starkly calls out the hypocrisy.

Can you elaborate on how double entry accounting enabled debt?

Debt existed way before Pacioli invented (borrowed?) double entry accounting.

For instance, in the Bible, Proverbs 22:7 - “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.”

> Electricity is far more expensive than gas.

That's usually only if the gas is natural gas, and that's not available. Even then, "far more" can be misleading.

My experience in California is that it's on the order of 4x cheaper than using resistive heating in a residence (i.e. buying naively from the utility at retail rates).

My latest PG&E bill shows "procurement" costs (which I assume are the wholesale energy-only part of the bill [1]) of $.009-$.01/kWh [2], and, IIUC, wholesale electricity is about 4x that.

This is to say that an efficient enough electric heat pump (which I believe is plausible for whole-house heating, not high-temperature use cases like a dryer) could at least get close to gas in operating cost.

[1] only about 1/7th of the retail total, something which would likely surprise most consumers. This seems true for electricity, too, where, IIRC, the energy costs $.04/kWh, but PG&E charges upward of $.24/kWh at the highest residential "tier".

It'll start at the state level with single payer probably through medicaid expansion (medicaid for all). If the Feds aren't on board then you won't get the 50% match from the Feds but the premiums should help offset that. You might then get a few states who band together. What will happen next is that a lot of people will move to those states (as jobs permit) resulting in an economic bonanza for those states.

An algorithm to reconstruct pixel art images
Here's a preview of something I've been working, it's an algorithm to reconstruct pixel art images.
The algorithm first detects the relative "size" of the pixel in that particular image, then it redraws it filtering the noise, to get rid of artifacts cause by compression or interpolation due to scaling.

https://www.facebook.com/victorqribeiro/videos/2021533927867372/

Above is the video of the algorithm working. The audio is in portuguese but I'm not saying anything important; just describing the algorithm. I think soon enough I'll be uploading the source code to my git account.

Yes, that is my point. Just because he is their citizen does not mean they have to keep him in the embassy. (Subject to whatever laws govern such things, and to the extent Ecuador even has laws) they could put him out the door and say, "See you when you get home."

I find the whole situation so hilarious because Ecuador's government has such a shitty record on . . . everything, and they tried to make themselves look good by giving Assange asylum. Definitely a "dog catches car" type of situation, because in the long run it did them no good, and now their government is made to appear even more inept by being forced to house this ungrateful fool. He's suing them because they told him in no uncertain terms to clean up after his cat. They thought they would tweak the US and Britain by putting him up for a few weeks and it's turned into a years long joke.
I wonder how many engineers society lost because they banned that.
I swear that I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but can someone help me understand what's so spectacular about this? I don't understand why it got so many upvotes. How is this more than a list view of companies you've applied to? The company can send a decision through the app, but how is that better than them just sending an email? If this app resulted in feedback being given at a higher frequency, I could see the value add, but most companies don't give feedback for liability reasons. Legitimately curious why anyone cares about this. What am I missing?
What study? Did it break down other factors for survival or are you arguing that the 350 million Americans all have exactly the same chance of surviving cancer?

I don't know why you're quoting "anecdote," you gave a textbook example of anecdotal evidence, which is not data. My uncle Bob survived testicular torsion, therefore all uncle Bobs will survive testicular torsion. How many people in the U.S. with that exact same cancer did not receive that particular experimental drug therapy? Did that one person, or even all the people included in the trial, change the survival rates in America during that time period?
This is pretty much what I think, as well.

Support systems for economic relocation feels like the right answer in theory. Living in SF proper is like filet mignon. Yes everyone needs shelter but not in expensive zip code. In order to actually reduce homelessness you probably need relocation opportunities + friction to stay. I can’t imagine working on either front so here we are.

Taking a step back, the idea that learning is about fast data transfer is probably not going to hold up to scrutiny at all.

> the etymology for "macabro" goes back to Arabic: "Ma qabr" means "cemetery."

Maybe. But this is not generally agreed upon by Romance linguists. The more generally accepted etymology connects to the name of the Biblical Maccabees. The OED says:

"The Middle French word occurs first in Jean le Fèvre's Respit de la Mort (1376), where the author says ‘Je fis de Macabré la dance’: this is apparently a claim to have written a work called la danse Macabré. In form the word might be a popular alteration of Old French Macabé Maccabaeus (examples of Judas Macabré(s) occur at the end of the 12th cent.): see Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch at Macchabeus for investigation of the range of forms and spellings attested in Middle French for both the present word and for words and expressions independently derived from the biblical proper name. As regards meaning, it may be connected with the late medieval liturgical dance or procession called chorea Machabaeorum in Latin (Besançon, 1453) and in Middle Dutch Makkabeusdans (15th cent.), which has been explained as arising from 2 Maccabees 7: Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch suggests also the association of the liturgical office of the dead with 2 Maccabees 12:43–6 in the Vulgate (verses 43–5 in the King James Bible) as a reason for a link between a cult of the Maccabees and the dance of the dead tradition in art and literature. In Middle French the metaphor aller a la dance De Macabré ‘to die’ is found in the 15th cent.

A less likely explanation is that Macabré was the name of the artist who painted the picture which suggested the first poem on the subject.

There is no evidence to support the theory that the word derives from Arabic maqābir, plural of maqbara cemetery (Moroccan colloquial Arabic məqāber, plural of məqebra tomb), or from Syriac meqabberēy gravediggers. For summaries of further explanations which have been advanced see Trésor de la langue française at macabre, Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch at Macchabeus."

I don't understand what compilation has to do with anything, if the company (user) in question isn't distributing the software outside the company.

How is it any different from an individual making changes to GPL software and using it (compiler or interpretted) on a personal computer? Surely that individual isn't obligated to share anything, either.

> The real point to take away is that any modifications will never reach upstream.

The GPL doesn't mention, AFAIK, any such concept. I thought the point was freedom for users of software, not implied benefit to some "upstream" programmer.

IOW, since the GPL is about the user, it's about protecting "downstream" and, without redistribution, there's none to protect.

Now that all the phones coming out have a bezelless display, why aren't manufacturers reducing the whole phone's size instead of extending the screen to the top and bottom. Take OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 6 for example. The OnePlus 6 could've easily been equal to only the screen size of OnePlus 5 but they chose to extend the screen to top and bottom instead.
Well, for starters, that number is less than my bill rate was at NCC.
Oh yes they say that, but the increased video ad placement the metrics supported did.

> humans were created along with the rest of the universe, but many don't believe that they were designed in any useful sense of the word.

Genesis 1-27: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

If you create an MMO and then host it somewhere where it can run in perpetuity and then you move on and never touch the servers again, can you in good faith make an argument that the game wasn't designed by programmers, artists, composers, etc?

So the players might have stumbled into a game (they were born) and believe that the game itself was created, but not designed?

The people you talk about might believe in "a" god, but certainly not the christian god. It doesn't make sense to say that you are a christian, but you believe in it à la carte.

The point of exclusive clubs like top schools is to be exclusive. If they’re not exclusive, then they don’t confer the benefits of distinction. That’s all elite universities are, for the most part. You can learn whatever you want from books; going to a top school doesn’t bestow greater knowledge on you.

By the metrics, the most generous person in the world is Bill Gates who has given away something approaching 30 billion dollars. Maybe there is an argument that he isn't materialistic, but I think the evidence is against that.

I suspect they are misusing "materialist" in this context and they meant "selfish". The link is selfishness causes materialism, not materialism causes selfishness.

The main problem is that the catch up mechanisms don’t have a termination condition. At what point do these go away? What if for whatever reason, these mechanisms don’t actually improve anything. Do we keep adding more mechanisms?

I just wish you could find pocketable 4.7" phones in the US. They exist but are either not imported or don't support domestic LTE bands and not worth it. Older flagships are guaranteed to be Chinese knockoffs and not worth the bother. We don't all want a phablet.

> Often the federal government forces freedom on the states against their will.

Often it's the other way around - for example, in the pre-Civil War era, a big point of contention (that was specifically cited later by those states that tried to secede) was that the federal government enacted the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which forced the free states to, basically, participate in enforcement of slavery on behalf of the slave states.
Seriously, there's zero upside for them providing feedback. Just potential liability. I don't understand why this got so many upvotes...
it's probably much more difficult to reduce the size of the phone than to extend the screen. Think about specs such as battery life and processing power, smaller phone would have really tough competition, apps and mobile OS hoard all the fancy specs that come with bigger phones, there's very little room left for phones with less capacity.
It reads as haughty, overwrought, and cliche to me. To each their own I suppose.
1. Sandy Bridge to Skylake combined makes barely a double digit gain in IPC, ~roughly 14%. I hardly called that a "huge advancements" in IPC over 7 years time.

2. We have already proved should the SandyBridge Overclocked to 4GHz+ it would have perform faster in some cases than Skylake Uarch with same Clock Speed. Remember SandyBridge was 32nm.

3. "Netburst, Willamette, Northwood, Prescott, and Tejas " You made it sounds as if there were many generation. All of them are part of Netburst uArch and Willamette was the first Gen, Tejas was cancelled. So there is only "Willamette, Northwood, Prescott". Each with much improved Clock speed, better implementation of HT, better memory controller and cache read improvement, and finally AMD64, all translate to substantial performance improvement, regardless of its power usage.

Netburst may not be a good uArch, but it definitely brings many improvement, the writing was on the wall in 2004 and we got Core 2 in 2006. And we have been stuck with Quad Core Desktop CPU despite we have had over 4x transistor density improvement.
Yes, they say we should live in a colorblind society. But because we don't, applicants' paths to Harvard are very different, often because of systemic differences in opportunities, resources, enforcement, etc that differ strongly between races.

Thus, the theory is that the way to get to that colorblind society is by accounting for those differences and to afford greater opportunities to historically disadvantaged groups.

Just wait a minute. Even with your deductible and max out of pocket you will find that your provider was out of network or that drug isn't covered or that procedure wasn't. Or is considered experimental (when it isn't).. Or something was denied incorrectly and what not.
