I'm not saying that AMD's current cards are slouches (I'm planning to buy one myself this year when I build my next computer) but they certainly do not meet the performance bar set by Nvidia's current high-end models (the RTX 2080 Ti and Titan RTX) which is what I mean by "properly high-end". Those are admittedly niche products due to their high pricing but it is important for AMD to have a competitive product in that segment since many people don't do a lot of research and if all they know about GPUs is "Nvidia has the fastest cards" (or an equally-uninformed salesperson tells them that) and buys a 1060 over a 580 based on that "knowledge" then AMD lost a sale.
New to some but this is regurgitated content as these patents were reported on long ago.
It does actually work fairly well for non gaming uses.
I don't think we'll ever be able to succeed at that.

We should work hard to strive for equality of opportunity.

We should avoid trying to guarantee equality of end result. (Because it's an impossible task.)

Summary: Everybody should get a fair shot. Everybody won't end up with equal results.
Something is wrong with your argument because America used to have higher tax-rates, and the economy worked better for most Americans.
I don't see what the issue here is. If you don't have the time to do it then get someone else to do it. If they won't do it for free then you pay them. The unfortunate part is that if you regularly buy brand new Nvidia cards then the cost of the proprietary driver is built into the price of the card, so it sucks that you would have to pay twice for drivers. But this clearly is a result of Nvidia's decision, they are thes one who are forcing you to take personal responsibility for getting your own libre drivers working, not the developers working on said libre (and gratis) drivers.
I think you’re getting the wrong impression. I find medical papers tend to be easier to read as a non specialist than recent matimatics papers.

Math however is trying to be as clear as possible and more elegant notation generally though not always wins over time. Mathematics don’t still use Roman Numerals even though they worked.

PS: Languages change over time, programmers dropped the term subroutine. This can look messy, but it’s benifical over time.
Many of those who claim to want only equality of opportunity are also committed to a rather extreme “blank slate” theory of individual potential. For these people, the only acceptable proof of equality of opportunity is equality of outcome.

On the contrary, properly teaching pointers can do wonders to help people understand how memory is structured.

C and C++ are horrible academic languages for other reasons - the original design is just too much of a hack to begin with, and then there's decades of legacy backwards compatibility with it in all newer developments. Syntax is ugly and inconsistent, doing things right is often harder than doing them wrong, there are many features and exceptions that are only there for historical reasons, and standard library is very eclectic in terms of what is and isn't included (from a modern perspective). But take something like Modula-2, and pointers aren't a problem.
The protected classes are not protected because the data is somehow statistically not significant or cannot be a predictor. The classes are protected because as a society, we have decided that greater social good is achieved by sacrificing these predictors.

The question is then what is it that you are after with this prediction? Max profit or max social good with enough profit.
Is something being created for profit scarier/worse? I'm personally far more concerned about government surveillance programs that I have no option but to participate in.
I’ve seen other comments describe QNX being used in embedded systems needing rock solid performance.

Orgo is exactly what I'm talking about. Whether or not it's harder or easier is besides the point: it's simply too low a level to be useful.

I'm all for a liberal arts approach of understanding other layers of abstraction for more context, but empirically this is not how the vast majority of premeds experience the orgo requirement. And if liberal arts was really the goal, then corresponding amounts of public health classes would also be required (layers of abstraction above and below at equal distance). But that's not the case. Clearly then it's not about a broader perspective but instead about weeding people out arbitrarily for sake of some combination of wages and egos.

I'm not a doctor or on that track. But I am a musician and programmer, at say 1000+ hours for the former, and 10,000s of hours for the latter. Not once have I engaged in flash-card-style rote memorization for either, especially not for any written test. I am certainly full of random facts by now, but the knowledge I hold most valuable is not that which I could also get from API docs or stack overflow.

No doctor, med student, or premed I have ever met studdied their field remotely like the ways I've studdied mine. Is being a doctor inherently that different? I can't see why not, and if I look at economics and public health research the arguments I give leap out at me.

(I also studdied Chinese for a few years when I was younger and definitely did not do enough flash cards. Now that is a field (language learning) where rote memorization is inherent to the problem at hand.)
It’s possible, but where’s the evidence of that? It sort of seems like you’re trying to suggest my experience doesn’t “count” because it could have been even worse. Is the above really what most people picture when they hear “white privilege”? I don’t think it is. To be clear I’m not questioning the existence of white privilege, but rather its magnitude or extent.

This wasn’t automated, at least not entirely — the notice was signed and hand delivered to my partner at home while I was at work, who then almost cried thinking we were going to be kicked out.

Gross. Oh well, another one for the already massive pile of unreasonably greasy facebook creeping. Massively parallel automated stalking. This shit needs to be regulated soon. A lot of the people being data-fucked are not actually people who have signed a EULA or anything, and it's getting more and more dubious that this is readily-available information "in the public square" that has no reasonable expectation of privacy. In my opinion at least, as if that's worth anything.

Also forgive me if I don't 100% take their word for it that none of this shit has been implemented except a few tests in 2015. These companies are never forthcoming with the truth around these matters of privacy and security. Ever. Any breach, any shady practice is denied until it's not possible to deny anymore. Why should they be truthful? It can only bring bad PR and there has literally never been consequences for lying about it.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't deliberately misinterpret your citations, considering in your first he explicitly says: "in the long run immigration and diversity are likely to have important cultural, economic, fiscal, and developmental benefits" [1]

And your second citation says nothing of the sort with regards to immigration, it is solely examining the affects of geography within a country as it affects conflict both religious and ethnic.

Most operating systems these days support IPv6 privacy extensions where a device will pick a semi-random address every 24 hours. IIRC, it is the default on macOS. You can have a static prefix and random addresses per device.
In those socialist European countries that doesn't really apply. Pension is supposed to be payed by the state, not by individual wealth built up during your work live (very different to the US).
Whether that idea is sound is a different question, but that is how it kinda works ;-)
My understanding is _a lot_ of stuff in Nvidia drivers isn't _technically_ owned by them. As in they license out A company to make Y thing with Z license. After 20+ years of legacy those weird licenses add up, and no-one feels comfortable with releasing the code. Whether or not that's true? Hard to say... For comparison AMD has been (since 2015) working hard to make nearly all parts of their drivers upstream in some fashion (amdgpu). While that's not a 1:1 comparison there (AMD has less capital than Nvidia) it shows it _is_ possible to free these drivers.

> Suppose I pay an extra $1,000 in income taxes via a donation. This amount will not help anyone or improve the fiscal situation of the United States government.

We're talking about marginal returns here, i.e. whether or not the author should donate that extra $1,000 to the government. Donating that extra $1,000 when other people don't will help just as much, if not more, as when other people do.

A better idea is to force the initializer, and require some special syntax if you really want an uninitialized variable. E.g. if a language uses underscore as a syntactic wildcard, then it could be something like:

int x = _;

The vast majority of variables can and should be initialized when they're declared (and often don't ever change after, so const is a good idea too). This is especially so in C++, which is less likely to return values via references/pointers these days (with tuples and uniform init for returning structs).
in what way is thieving 70% of someone's income worthy?

I'd agree that Ayn Rand is a step too far. I don't think the pure libertarian mind set is at all practical. But their arguments do have weight when you start to get to this level of taxation.

I see no issues with some having 1000x the wealth of others. We both probably have 1000x the average citizen in some of the poorest countries in the world. Is this a problem yes. Are we morally wrong for having that wealth, no I don't think so.

Is there a problem with the difference in power at the political level, yes, is this a moral issue yes. But I don't think taking from the rich giving to the poor solves this problem. The reason being that as we do this it tends to make the situation worse. Welfare programs tend to restrict the freedom of those on the programs more that the rest of the population and have been shown to develop a learned dependence on these programs. Even if it did work I don't see how that justifies taking so much from someone.

It's a good idea to try and level the playing field. But I don't think massive income taxes are moral and as such should not be chosen as the tool to do this.
This is great, thanks so much
I don’t think profit motive is the scary second ingredient, but rather the massive centralization of data that Facebook (and a few other tech giants) have.

Exactly the same as when other people do. Probably more, actually.
taxing beyond necessity is theft.

and theft is never morally justified.
I support much higher tax rates but you can't argue there's much causality between the high tax rates we had and how high the quality of living was at the time. It was a tremendously different era in a ton of ways.

Why would the code for "const int i" be any different from the code for "int i"? The Standard doesn't require the variable to be allocated in an immutable memory area. It just says that if you do anything to change its value, the result is undefined behavior. And actually changing the value in a way that would be observable via the const variable is a valid subset of undefined behavior.
Yes, "regressive" has a strict technical meaning of marginal rates going down. It has a very common practical meaning of affecting people with less income more than people with more income. (For instance, it would be a coherent and meaningful sentence, despite being technically incorrect, to argue that subway fares are regressive.) Do you have a better word for that that is in common use?

The blog post you link (which I am attempting to read through, but the condescending first paragraph doesn't help) argues in favor of a progressive tax on the amount of consumption, which I will admit is a proposal I haven't seen before. If you can make this work logistically, it would address the problem of consumption taxes being "regressive." (So would other approaches like food stamps.) However, I don't see any discussion of how these taxes would influence the decision to consume vs. save. Is the person with $100K in income going to make the same decision in both scenarios? I would assume they'd be likely to consume more in scenario 1 and less in scenario 2, where they get taxed more as they consume more. (And they would consume even less under a progressive consumption tax.) In particular I worry about money being "lost"—instead of the $50K that has doubled to $100K being spent all in 20 years, perhaps only the $50K interest is spent or perhaps not even that because there's a disincentive to consume, and then the person lives off of investment income for the rest of their life. For the casual meaning of "regressive," I think it's politically/socially important to many people that someone who lives off passive income and chooses not to work not be in the same position as someone who works long hours and lives paycheck-to-paycheck, even if they consume the same amount - or at least that there's a meaningful route for the latter person to become the former person.

I also don't understand why Bill Gates giving $10B less to Africa doesn't count as reducing consumption. It's a use of money to exert his will on the world; I think that should count as consumption (and be taxed as a consumption tax).
What statistics are those? Can you cite your sources?

Because I've never seen anything that suggests that a majority of homeless people have addiction/mental illness problems. A higher percentage of such issues then the housed population, sure, but not a majority.

> Everybody should get a fair shot. Everybody won't end up with equal results.

Everyone is not going to get a fair shot, since some will be born with more inherited capital (social, financial, etc...) . I'm not arguing everyone get equal results in the end. I'm suggesting that society will function better if folks are made whole. In other words, they have basic needs met and this standard increases with the increasing wealth of the country.
China ends a long freeze on new video games
Well, if you read closely, the 70 rate is cutting to the sum above the threshold value.
So if your salary is X + Y + Z, where X, Y, and Z are, respectably, the lower, middle and the high threshold values, the taxes you pay is something like

(X * alpha) + (Y * beta) + (Z * gamma)

and only `gamma` is 0.7, `alpha` is something like 0.35 and I assume `beta` is something in between.

So those who pay 70 percent taxes are already maxed out on the lower contributions in corresponding income range.
It's my experience that "hiring for diversity" advocates are very much in favor of a monoculture. For example, devout Christians are severely underrepresented in most professional fields, and I've never seen a diversity program targeted towards obtaining their wildly different worldviews.
The incredible vast majority of major purchases cannot be done in an untraceable manner. Cars, yachts, planes, property, art. The businesses that sell these items necessitate a paper trail.

The problem with C++ that the article explores isn't that it's complex. It's that it's unnecessarily complex, and you could have a language with all that power (and then some, like say a proper macro facility) without so many warts. Indeed, Rust is a proof by example now.

Of course, those warts were necessary for C++ to be successful back when it was introduced and competing against others, and therefore to its popularity today. And this popularity is just as much a part of C++ appeal as its power. But we can call them out for what they are, without trying to justify them.

> you could make this argument about any policy

It is completely reasonable to say that good policy for 10 million people is different from good policy for 100 million people. Not all effects caused by increasing population scale in the same way. Economic geography is a very interesting subject and certainly admits the possibility for small, high-skill nations to be able to enjoy a localised prosperity that doesn't scale very well.

> It doesn't really follow that tax policy should be different because a diverse population disagrees more

I don't follow what you mean with that. A divided polity will produce a very different set of policy than a united polity. There is no convincing science, theory or philosophy setting what taxes should be. Taxes are what they are, and we've seen arguably successful societies at a wide range of tax levels. A small united polity will clearly be more successful at using government to achieve their aims than a large and disparate population.
