Yeah but you had to work harder because of the traits being measured by this score and you should get credit for that, whether or not you think you should.

Sorry, but there are people who work just as hard as you and don't get as far because the deck is even more stacked against them, and this is an attempt at getting them some relief.

If a poor kid in a high crime inner city school who has very limited access to tutors or mentors scores a 1600, that's a much more impressive achievement than an affluent kid in the suburbs who took the test 3 times, had access to experts in the various fields, got 3 good meals every day, etc. getting that same score.

Just imagine what that poor kid could do if given the same resources as the rich kid...
Or, perhaps, solve the problem at the source once rather than 7 billion times?
I admire the drive and sacrifices your family has made. I hope that karma (and the American dream) reward generously.
People are starting at different points. His parents were physically able to do what they did. If his dad had been disabled, or dead, he wouldn't have been able to commute for 4 hours. Would that make his dad less virtuous?
Not sure if this is due to medium or not. Back in the day I used to write articles on business consulting focused on high value keywords. After 7+ years some of them still rank 3-10 on Google for the target keywords.

Medium is just easier to spin up than a domain + WordPress. I don't see any other advantages
1% of what?
Mobile Safari is the new IE6.

Hopefully that class-action against Apple for the app store monopoly bears fruit (pun fully intended) so some alternative browsers can be installed on iOS (via Amazon app store or something similar to f-droid).

Note for those new to the party "Chrome" and "Firefox" on iOS are just skins on top of Safari, iOS rules require you to just use Safari if your app browses web. See 2.5.6 here if you don't believe me - https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#sof...

I love propublica and donate monthly. Good to see it getting some great tech coverage. Thanks for your reporting!
what if they aren't practicing every second? what if it simply comes out 100% effortlessly? how do you define "earn"? only X hours of obsessive practice? does their skill not count because they didn't put in years of 'hard work'?
The Streisand Effect when people try to pile on these things as being some kind of secret masonic handshake is insane.

I don't think actual white supremacists could ever come up with propaganda anywhere near as effective.
Ouch, there's honestly no worse insult than being compared to the average Blind user.
I agree. I work for one of the big four tech companies and we are all on prescription drugs to enhance our work productivity. Although it's not enforced, anyone who isn't popping uppers and downers just can't keep up in this industry and falls out.

There's one guy here on 18! Yes, you read that right, prescription drugs. He is so smart and productive and it shows! Fancy car and house. He's smarter than everyone here.

I'm only on 9 prescription drugs. I hope one day to be as rich and smart as him when I work my way up to 18.
> Would you rather get operated by a surgeon that graduated from the medical school with A+, or by someone with a B who got the job instead because they came from a poorer neighborhood?

Ben Carson is an apparent moron, who thinks the pyramids were for grain storage. He'd fail a history course. He's also apparently a phenomenal brain surgeon.

Clinical skills and raw academic scores can be wildly disparate in a single person. Frankly, if I were picking a surgeon, I'd look for the one who enjoys tinkering with electronics and engines in their spare time.
It gives me the impression he had no idea what trim does, trim in memory? Reuse LBA? You must be kidding.
It seems like your computer should consider remote workers. I live in Denver and have told Facebook recruiters that I’m specifically not interested in working at Facebook, but I would consider a remote position at a startup. I’m sure as hell not relocating to the Bay Area is all.
There are Let’s Plays that I think are better than others, but I don’t think any of them, even the best of them, are popular enough to be part of gamer culture.

However, the gameplay video that I think comes closest to leaving “a mark in history” is this single video by pannenkoek2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A “SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated)”. That’s the only video I’ve seen referenced in comments on videos of completely different games. The references are to “parallel universes” and “0.5 A-presses”, terms that are explained in this video. I don’t know if you could call this video a Let’s Play, though, since the commentary is recorded after the gameplay, it’s not part of a larger playthrough of the whole game, and the video has custom-made animations to aid in explaining the game, not just raw gameplay footage. It’s quite interesting, though, especially to a programmer.

Among popular Let’s Play series, one I recommend is the Achievement Hunter Minecraft Let’s Play series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA689F118656DB852. (Yup, they snagged the username “LetsPlay”.) In each episode, members of the Achievement Hunter group of players play some custom-made activity together in Minecraft. I don’t like the personalities of the players/commentators that much, but the immense creativity of the challenges and the players’ occasional funniness make it worth it. After 100 episodes it started getting repetitive though.

A few other lesser-known Let’s Plays I recommend:

• Cryaotic’s Undertale playthrough, Pacifist route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwPDQB0EVbY&list=PLeqwXTaiY-.... He is generally calm and empathic, which means he isn’t distracting and he roleplays a pacifist character well.

• After that, NateWantsToBattle and Brett Ultimus’s Undertale playthrough, Genocide route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6kpGtgy3bQ&list=PL_IirJiXdc.... They add a sarcastic “don’t-care” layer of commentary on top of everything that makes the violence easier to enjoy without feeling bad for the characters who are killed.

• CarlSagan42’s playthroughs of online levels in Super Mario Maker: https://www.youtube.com/user/CarlSagan42/videos. He is better at the game than me, so he can beat levels that I couldn’t, and when he does a hard trick or glitch that is necessary to beat the level, he explains it for the watchers. Also, when a level does something interesting with the limited objects that can be used, he goes into the level editor and figures out how it works. He doesn’t throw a tantrum when he fails, and his video-end responses to watcher questions about science are often interesting, as well. The downsides of his channel are occasional Twitch subscriber banners interrupting the video, and Carl sometimes missing the obvious solution, which viewers call “Carl Blind”.

There are more Let’s Play series I have watched and enjoyed, but this list is big enough already.

Pertinent to TFA, if this adversity score weighs economic factors more heavily than racial ones, then it might actually be more beneficial to Asian Americans than previous affirmative action implementations.
I'm not getting into the hate speech debate - most of this page of comments so far is depressingly tone-deaf and insensitive - but I have to say that your argument about having no rights on websites is pretty hollow. Nobody with even a modicum of sense ever claims that their actual legal rights are being violated when they complain about being censored on a private website. Any reference to "free speech" is an appeal to shared values, an argument that they think the moderators are acting improperly in light of those shared values. The public debate is over whether platforms like Facebook, Google, Reddit, etc should be neutral marketplaces of ideas, like Greek agora, and to what extent they should be able to privately police such a large part of our public discourse. This is a legitimate topic for debate and potential public policy, even if initially such policy would only serve to provide a voice for some pretty despicable people. You pointing out that Facebook is a private company which can do whatever it wants with its own data is wholly missing the point. Nobody is even having that conversation.
Agree. But bloomberg is communicating with an audience that has no idea what any of this means.

For an unsophisticated user the phrase “end-to-end encryption still not safe” is an accurate summary of what to expect when you pick up your android phone and message someone, while you happen to be the target of a three letter agency or hacking exploit.
The OP's blog still does less annoying stuff than medium does
Flimsy anecdotal account. Funny that this person's Fiverr account has gigs like "I will develop a web app for you (starting at $20)", which for me epitomizes the "rush to the bottom" that the writer bemoans.
When are Asian men overrepresented in government ever? And what about Asian representation in Hollywood, NBA, NFL, and execs in corporations?
I hate Sunset too, albeit for a different reason. It's businessese, like Legacy, Utilize, and for that matter, Retire (in this sense).

Choose the word that is old, short, and plain. Sunset is a little better than others because at least it is poetic. But for my HTTP headers I would prefer something a little more straightforward, rather than euphemistic --- like Expires, but that's already taken.
thanks for checking it out, happy learning :)
A bigger problem to me is Google's search bias and subtle manipulation. The same goes for Facebook's news curation algorithm. These things can directly impact our democracy, yet it's much harder to tackle or even investigate, because the whole thing is so elusive and subjective.

To me privacy seems to be already a lost cause. We've lost it and there's little hope to take it back. Also privacy violation is a relatively easy problem to understand. For bias and manipulation, however, we don't even know what to do.
You would use the nuclear resource constantly, just like solar and wind. Can schedule refueling and maintenance in summer when there’s plenty of sun. Additionally: thermal plants like nuclear are more efficient in the winter (particularly if you add a bottoming cycle), meaning they generate more power right when they’re needed.
Just imagine a Gmail or Mint breach. Oy.

Yes, that is one of the things I'd like to reduce. I will be focusing on reducing the size of the app. The app you linked, looks nice too.
This startup is the equivalent of a task management app. I guess you can call that a startup, and app to help you manager your exercises. There are only a 1,000 others out there.
> we're all using QWERTY [...] for no reason other than that's what locked in

We are all using QWERTY because it's not bad. You could switch to anything else and it would not be so much better. It's a local maxima that is good enough and it happened for historical reasons.

Most people are not held down by the keyboard setting. They don't need to type faster, and if they did, they would need to think faster first - it's not the tool that is the bottleneck in this particular case.
I'm not sure that off-the-shelf software on your own server is necessarily less likely to get hacked. It's easy to fall behind on security updates when you don't think about deploys regularly.

Look at the logs for your existing infrastructure. I can pretty much guarantee that there are drive-by Wordpress attacks, regardless of what software is actually serving requests. There will be ssh login attempts.
I'd have to see if it has all the building/signing and packaging support as electron. Thanks for linking!

re HTTP specifically: one major benefit I've seen to even "just" HTTP wrappers for systems is that the HTTP ecosystem is extremely mature, even on relatively exotic languages / platforms / coding patterns / design constraints / etc.

You want load balancing, context propagation, multiplexing, proxying, authentication, request tracing, [anything from a truly gigantic list, both in-code and around-your-system]? HTTP has it. Probably several. And they probably already work with everything you already have, and happily run unattended for years.

Kafka... might? Kafka for language X.... might? But probably not.

You want to extend Kafka to add X between Y and Z? Does the protocol even allow it? HTTP does, choose your flavor. Odds are even decent that a fair number of your engineers have already heard of or used it.

---

There are benefits to specialized protocols, absolutely. But there are also benefits to letting everything just use the same robust HTTP client as everything else.
> Your parents income level, and their ability to prioritize what income they do have to make sure you're in a good neighborhood. The second thing is what's being de-valued.

So, you're saying that people who have the misfortune to have parents who can't do those things for them should suffer a handicap, right? How well you are able to compete for a slot in college should depend on who your parents are?
Last I checked, Chrome on desktop stores all your passwords in plaintext on disk. Unless something's changed... I wouldn't use that.

Firefox at least offers you the ability to set a master password to encrypt all the rest.
I'll play devil's advocate. I went to a public high school that served a large area (it's Rim of the World High in Southern California in case anyone is curious). It's the only high school in the mountains, and services "poorer" areas like Crestline and "wealthier" areas like Lake Arrowhead. To my knowledge, I was one of the only honors kids from Crestline. My morning consisted of getting up at 5:30 am and taking a 45 minute yellow bus ride to get to school (and school started at 7 am!) and back. How do I explain to colleges that every day of my high school was 1.5 hours longer because of that bus ride?
> Numerous private universities (Christian schools in particular) enforce strict student code of conduct rules that severely limit the student body's freedom of expression as to way to enforce religious or secular compliance. And it doesn't hurt their reputation but instead is an integral component of the school's identity.

Perhaps you're coming from a different cultural context than, but in my circles such universities absolutely are mocked and looked down upon. Some people don't even consider applicants from BYU, and other heavily religious universities because they don't want to reward such institutions.

> I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I'd argue that colleges and universities should have the right to police speech and expression: they should just be upfront about it. "Our house: our rules" as they say.

For public universities, the First Amendment legally obligates them otherwise. For private universities they already have the right to police speech and expression. It is, as you say, their house and their rules. They don't police (or rather they are very liberal in their policing) because freedom of speech and expression are central to an effective academy. Once universities start policing heavy-handedly, or on ideological grounds people start to doubt whether the ideas voiced are genuine or whether people are censoring themselves out of fear of retaliation from the institution. This cloud of doubt hangs overall the research published by that university, and the reputation of that university suffers considerably.

Unless they on-the-fly decrypt your chrome sync (which would require non-encrypted password storing), the stuff you sync to Google is encrypted with your Google password, and if you're paranoid, you can encrypt the sync with a separate password.

Their free tier is only 100 "imports". After that, you are looking to pay $500 USD/mo. for unlimited - which simply isn't an option for a free app.
Quickbooks Online would also be horrific
It always gets ugly. I had a (well-off, white) friend use another friend's address to get into the high school I went to. He ended up at Princeton so I guess it worked well for him. No one did anything about it. The case in 2011 where an Ohio woman (Kelley Williams-Bolar) was sentenced to a short jail sentence and 3 years probation and asked to pay $30000 to the school because she did the same thing has come up in the news again. She's black of course. There's that guy who paid $400,000 to get his kid into Georgetown as a tennis player who is now suing Georgetown 'cause they had the gall to expel his kid. It's all a matter of how much you can pay for a lawyer after your crime/gaming of the system.
Rust is getting value-typed template parameters Real Soon Now - in fact, they now work to some extent on nightly. In the parent’s example, my guess is that only the second parameter could be changed to a value, whereas the first is actually used somewhere as a type - but I have no context so it’s just a guess.
If Stack Overflow's enterprise knowledge management systems were breached then that could potentially be a big deal. A release of knowledge on development and production systems from companies could potentially lead to larger hacks in the future.

Of course, that is all speculative until the extent of the breach is released. From the press release, they seem to imply that the only affected areas were public facing.
And what if a candidate wants to spend that stipend on Facebook ads. Is Facebook not allowed to have a salesperson take that money and sell ads to the candidate?

I mean... does any startup when compared to FAANG? Salaries are basically the same but the total compensation is, obviously, wildly different since expected value for startup stock is horrible.
When Your Money Is So Tainted Museums Don’t Want It
The more I reflect on your comment the more obvious to me it is that the situation is ultra urgent.

Somebody needs to get a class action going asap, tomorrow.

Its so so true that so many Asian families have made massive financial and personal sacrifices in the hope to provide their children the best opportunities possible. This is clearly protected activity under the founding documents of our nation, pursuing life, liberty and happiness for themselves and their children through education.

I can’t imagine the sinking feeling running through so many of those incredibly honest and hardworking families tonight. Imagine you saved everything, lived in the smallest apartment possible barely in the good school zone, spent extra money on tutors and extra circulars and your high school senior or junior learns all his or her effort all the family’s effort they want to cancel out.

It’s a blatant attempt to punish Asian families for believing in America.
If we wanted remote workers then we'd hire people in Romania. Like the last place I worked at did.
.. yes? I mean, it depends on what you mean by "accept", but yes we choose the option that has the least risk of killing people, even if it has "issues", because those issues are already encapsulated in the relative risk estimates.

Airline flying is safer than driving even though planes have known issues too.

I was a little surprised when traveling in India the first time and I got a soda. They expect you to wait and give them back the glass bottle once you’re done. This was at a local stand, of course there’s plastic bottles elsewhere.

At first it felt weird, but then I realized how much better it is for everyone and for the environment to reuse glass bottles. The bottles are washed and reused and even if they ended up in the ocean, we’ll, the world was none the worst for it.

It made me sad we moved away from this. I’d love to see glass used more often again for drinks.
At least it was clear, efficient and sincere!

I think a mature state of mind is that you should assume those systems are compromised.
They don't have to store them as plain text for it to be a problem.

If they're not salted it's trivial to crack the hashes, and if they are all uniquely salted, while it's time consuming, they can still gradually crack them.

Given that you could probably sift through the users to find particularly juicy targets (usernames of maintainers of top open source projects with github repos for example?) that could justify the work of a time consuming attack on the hashes.
Huh, thanks for the reference. I have heard elsewhere that the one issue with Numenta's work is that they aren't particularly proactive about citing prior art, so it's hard to know (as a newcomer) what parts are their innovations and what parts are incremental improvements on existing techniques.
Well we're talking about the TSA here.
Then they should call it "idempotent processing". They know that when people, especially middle or upper management, ask about queues, they insist on needing "exactly once" delivery, and will never understand the FLP impossibility and its implications on messaging systems.

They are intentionally using this phrasing to obscure the fact that nothing novel is happening to push sales, and it is absolutely infuriating how well it works.
Haha you now know how they maintain their SEO -- by purging the politically incorrect stuff.

BTW only druggies say "research chemicals", academic researchers just use "drugs"/"compounds" or maybe "fine organics" or the actual name of whatever it is. "Research chemicals" is basically "SWIM" in terms of being a "druggie heuristic"
But then you're paying the much higher levelized cost of nuclear (and it is much higher, a factor of perhaps 4 or more) when the solar or wind or solar/wind in short term storage are available. So this doesn't work either.

As I said, solar/wind and nuclear are not complementary. They're in competition.
