Free college has always been a poor-to-the-middle class program.
That's a great analogy. Just a small nitpick: While it's similar, in reality, interviews are not quite like being graded on a curve in school. The main point of a technical screener is to decrease the likelihood that a candidate will bomb the more demanding onsite interview loops. This is especially important because these loops typically take up most of a candidate's day, disrupt the day of a bunch of engineers, and might even cost the company hundreds or even thousands of dollars in plane tickets/accommodation costs if the candidate is flying in from out of state.

It's true that an interviewer might look at previous candidates to calibrate expectations, but they don't necessarily pit candidates for the same team against each other as would be the case in school curved grading. Usually what happens is a candidate just barely solves the technical exercise, but also raises a bunch of yellow/red flags. A common rule of thumb among tech interviewers is "if in doubt, reject". This is - in my experience - so common that a company will typically nab the first candidate that clears the expectation bar. It's actually rare that two or more candidates would be up for consideration at the same time because it's hard to even get a single one of high enough caliber in the first place, since good engineers are in extremely high demand and are almost never actively looking for jobs (recruiters reach out to them instead).
These style of exploits remind me of "The Free Lunch Is Over: A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software" (2005) - http://www.gotw.ca/publications/concurrency-ddj.htm

> Chip designers are under so much pressure to deliver ever-faster CPUs that they’ll risk changing the meaning of your program, and possibly break it, in order to make it run faster.

> ...

> applications will increasingly need to be concurrent if they want to fully exploit CPU throughput gains that have now started becoming available and will continue to materialize over the next several years. For example, Intel is talking about someday producing 100-core chips; a single-threaded application can exploit at most 1/100 of such a chip’s potential throughput.

It seems the trend in programming languages is towards better concurrency support. But why don't we yet see 100-core chips? If chip makers had to forego all speculative execution and similar tricks, would that push us toward the many-core future?

That's insufficient. I do that, but I still manage to get AMP links in various ways. I admit, it's merely an annoyance as I can generally edit the URL to get the real page, but it's annoying nonetheless.
>like walking down sidewalks next to traffic

Traffic noise is usually much more intermittent, unless you're walking next to a busy freeway. You just hear cars as they go by, but it's not usually a constant. Ears handle intermittent sounds much better than constant noise, even when the intermittent sounds are much louder. It's a lot like radiation exposure: it's cumulative.

>A noisier commercial airliner, all else being equal, simply is more comfortable than a quiet one.

Honestly, you sound like someone who already has a lot of hearing damage.
When a company buys something (a capital expense) they are allowed to deduct its loss in value from their income every year to reduce their taxes. Calculating the exact value of things is hard to do without selling them, so for tax purposes things typically lose some fraction of their initial value every year. The number of years it takes the item to lose all of its value is typically 3, 5, 7, or 10 -- or my sample is biased. I am not an accountant.

In any case, the new "bonus depreciation" rules let companies take all of the depreciation in the first year. Effectively, they were able to shift their deductions from tax year 2019, 2020, 2021... into tax year 2018. I am sure many did/will. It's a nice trick to score a quick bump in profit, but it only works once.

If the market is full of dumb models that inappropriately extrapolate this bump into future years, the people investing money on the basis of those dumb models will be disappointed.
It's worse than that though, because, for example, nuclear power is significantly safer than other technologies currently in use[1][2], and as another example, immigrants (including illegal immigrants) are less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens in the United States[3][4], at least for several generations (they asymptotically approach native levels).

So I think we're fighting a couple of battles here: fear-mongering and misinformation/ignorance, and I guess they go hand-in-hand.

Ah, but we maximized profit extraction from those units!

Also, remember that old millenials are pushing middle age (late 30's). Their mortgages have been used to fund a bunch of boomer retirements, they can't afford to see a doctor, they watch a lucky few (including many readers here) collect a huge chunk of the output of human labor, and they were left a dying world where the thought we might literally see the collapse of civilisation is not completely outlandish.

I mean, hell, I'm not diagnosed but I've had points where I'm pretty fucking depressed. I'm trying to check out of the system (cheap house, no commute, etc.) because it seems purpose-built to make other people happy. but I still worry my kid will need to learn to shoot, trap, grow, organize, and hide in order to get by in the world we're leaving her.

Maybe people feel depressed because the world is depressing?
No. Chemicals operate at the level of atoms and molecules. Nuclear radiation operates at the subatomic level and moves through matter into other matter.

You can hold a rock made of heavy metal in your hand which would kill you if ingested. If the rock were a gamma particle emitter, however, those subatomic particles will leave the rock and pass into your body, then through your body and out into the world beyond.

This poorly understood fact is what makes nuclear materials so dangerous. They simply cannot be compared to other "poisons" such as are used in solar plants or PC chips.
I think the goal of quantifying the amount of adversity a person experiences in their life is a fools errand. This is like asking "On a scale of 1-100 how beautiful is The Mona Lisa." Somethings can only be poorly approximated in numbers.

Once we have a number it tends to become An Important Thing, regardless of how much the number reflects reality. It is ironic that SAT is making a new number that has little reflection of reality to provide more context with their SAT test scores, which is another number that has only a poor approximate measurement of reality.
most companies operate more along the model of:

"Execs have to worry about regulation, corporate risk, and managing perceptions both internally and externally. You do not want someone spouting the literal truth without a filter in those positions."

That's why it's a great question. It requires a filter.
This is true. But in this specific case, it is unlikely a single person, especially one in the position of interviewing for a lower level job, would have enough money to rival the company in a lawsuit or cause them severe financial pain. Usually it's the opposite situation that is financially ruinous.
Yes its a serious question. Why do you consider burying it in a vast underground bunker not a sufficient solution?

You talk as if that's obviously a bad idea but to me it seems peefe fly reasonable. Yes there is some concern about people thousands of years from now not understanding the warnings, but the people during right now and in the near future due to coal and climate change seem like a bigger concern at the moment.

> Today's nuclear plants are just big scaled-up versions of the Navy's original small reactors for ships

This is true, and Perrow's book contains an interesting discussion of this. The Navy had requirements which are different from civilian power generation: they needed small and relatively lightweight reactors whose power output can be quickly adjusted, and where fuel can be replaced quickly. None of these requirements make sense for a stationary civilian power plant.
I think the argument is that no specific prep for the SAT should be necessary, the exam should measure your abilities from your schooling.

At what point in life can one's hardships be discounted? First job application after college? Should every job application have an adversity score? Should every promotion consider this? Should you be entitled to more government benefits, because of adversity?

At what point, if any, does the responsibility of getting out of adversity lie on the individual?
Hypothetically, what if it was true that wealthy people's exposure to better education over a lifetime, reduced stress distracting them from learning, better and more abundant roll models, etc, meant they would do better on pretty much literally any test you could put in front of them?

Most research points to this being true.
The anti-nuclear folks often understand science and stats just fine. They inflate legitimate concerns to argue against having more nuclear plants in favor of having more renewables.

Almost none of the anti-vaxx people I've encountered base their concerns on science. They spout conspiracy theories.

Also, why are you telling me to go look up which source is safer? I already told you I support nuclear.
While the CNN list feels somewhat variable, I'd highly recommend visiting countries that aren't on any "top destination" lists. I just got back from a trip that included Kyiv and Minsk, and I'd have to say that Minsk in particular exceeded any expectations I had. Clean, beautiful, a feeling of safety in the downtown, and plenty of sights (and alcoholic beverages) made for a great visit.
You're talking common carrier. I am all for designating facebook and twitter and whatever else as a common carrier. But I think if you look into it, those companies have fought hard to not be designated as common carriers. My guess is that common carrier status means that something very much like net neutrality rules would apply, and they wouldn't be able to profit so much from advertising, and they would have service guarantees to meet.
That would actually be pretty hard, since the airliner uses their own altimeter and radar to determine how close they are to the runway.

Much easier would be to put the runway where it doesn't exist, such as at the foot of a cluster of tall buildings or hillside that is a mile from the actual location. A strong transmitter and directional antenna would be effective. It would be a once-only attack, because the FCC, FAA, FBI would all be on maximum alert after that. There's also a good chance it wouldn't work because the airliner is cross checking its position with GPS, ATC is cross checking with radar, and there's a good chance either the pilot or ATC will abort due to confusion over position.
Key Technology Trends Transforming the Public Sector
If you’re worried about the hot sauce from processing or preservative standpoint it’s shockingly easy (and fun) to make yourself [0].

Jam a bunch of peppers of your desired heat, a few cloves of garlic, and salt water in a mason jar. Close it and keep it on the counter and it will lacto-ferment. Let the CO2 out every morning for a couple weeks, then just let it hang out.

They’ll become delicious pickled peppers after a couple weeks, and become unbelievably complex and delicious after a couple months. When they taste how you want, blend it up for sauce or eat the peppers whole (I’d do a couple jars at once so you don’t have to choose)

You can add a little bit of vinegar at the end to stop the fermentation and make it shelf-stable—and maybe a little xantham gum to thicken if you’d like—or just keep it in the fridge.

Great for your gut flora and you’ll be shocked it came out of your kitchen with such little effort.

Sexual orientation, yeah they might not be able to get that one. But here's the factors they're using: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1129009648214921216

I do believe with just a few pieces of the information they're taking into consideration (namely, neighborhood, if you have a single parent, and if you're ESL [not sure if they're talking about the child being ESL or the parents]) you could reliably determine if the child is black or Hispanic and therefore worthy of an adversity score boost. Everyone else, get stuffed. They may also be making a big show of using these factors that "technically" don't identify the test taker's race and instead are just disregarding them and relying solely on the self-reported racial information provided when taking the test. Who knows? But I highly doubt you'll find a lot of poor white kids in West Virginia getting boosted scores via this scheme.
Most of the conversation here is around free speech and censorship. I don't believe in government, in general, limiting the flow of information through censorship and 14 year prison sentences.

As to the USA.. Well, I think it's important to consider that the USA is about 68 times the population of NZ. 68 New Zealands, think about that. Some of those New Zealands are quite safe even relative to other countries, and others are not. Firearm homicide rates, along with other crime rates, fluctuate wildly by region. And yet all those regions have the 1st and 2nd amendment.

IMHO, as a NZ resident, NZ is definitely safer and nicer than the bad parts of the US. However, I do not believe it has too much to do with its loose free speech protections and firearm restrictions. New Zealand is probably sturdy enough to have stronger free speech and personal liberty protections while being as safe or safer as the safest regions in the USA..
I'm a huge fan of the fact that Google is embracing a Linux + Vulkan stack for gaming, but I also want them to have meaningful competition. Yes it would be a dream scenario if MS & Sony started supporting Vulkan, but it would also be a nightmare scenario if Stadia started dominating the gaming market, and gaming technology stagnated for a decade at Vega56-class GPU's because there is no competitive pressure to push the envelope.

I would focus on dividends and executive salaries over store manager's pay. Executives want store managers to be loyal to control theft.

Walmart has 2,867,125,000 shares outstanding * $1.96 per quarter * 4 = $22,478,260,000 per year spent on dividends alone. If you take all that money and give it to the 2.1 million employees listed that comes to $10,703 a year in additional wages alone. I haven't even looked at executive salaries or the costs from lawsuits Walmart gets from it's shady tactics. Or that many employees are part time and the per hour wage increase would be much higher than it indicates.
> Earth's cyclical climate will kill us anyway

Why? The reason climate change is dangerous is not because it'll get too hot or cold for us, but because the temperature is changing too fast. It's the gradient that's the problem.
You lost me at "labor organizing is a bad thing"...

There are some flaws in the labor laws in the US, and the first thing that comes to mind is the fact the "Union Monopoly", ie once a Union is established there's no competition. If you allowed for competitive union practices, then you no longer allow for rent seeking by that union because someone can always just organize a different, "better" union. I don't really care which happens first (union formations or reform to labor organization laws) but both would be my goal for a long term solution.

Most of the 15 factors are reported here, 4 paragraphs down:

"Neighborhood environment will take into account crime rate, poverty rate, housing values and vacancy rate. Family environment will assess what the median income is of where the student's family is from; whether the student is from a single parent household; the educational level of the parents; and whether English is a second language. High school environment will look at factors such as curriculum rigor, free-lunch rate and AP class opportunities."

These are hard to game, and in many cases if you do game them it's a "Mission Fucking Accomplished" situation. Most billionaires are not willing to move into a high-crime, high-poverty neighborhood with shitty housing, nor are they willing to put their kids in bad schools with poor people. If they are, great, that neighborhood probably won't stay poor with shitty schools for long.
