To apply or learn more about the position contact me: scrank@juniper.net (I'm the hiring manager)
I agree - but my own experience is remote workers working at home etc -> can have very high productivity.

Remote workers on vacation / traveling / visiting family -> low productivity.

That said, overall situation -> totally reasonable to bail out for the employee, clearly not a good fit overall. But for the last, new manager - they may not have had a good impression of employee given employee was themselves not treated properly by company before and the expectations they brought were out of the blue for new person.
Students admitted to a university that one of their parents went attended. Having parents(or grand parents) as alumni can help you get into many schools in the US.

In some cases, their parents having gone to the school is the only reason they got in. A lot of schools athletics programs are in similar situations as well.
Yeah, sure...

From a different engineering perspective, Dave Ackley had some interesting things to say about the difficulties of going from 2D to 3D, which I quoted in an earlier discussion about visual programming:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18497585

David Ackley, who developed the two-dimensional CA-like "Moveable Feast Machine" architecture for "Robust First Computing", touched on moving from 2D to 3D in his retirement talk:

https://youtu.be/YtzKgTxtVH8?t=3780

"Well 3D is the number one question. And my answer is, depending on what mood I'm in, we need to crawl before we fly."

"Or I say, I need to actually preserve one dimension to build the thing and fix it. Imagine if you had a three-dimensional computer, how you can actually fix something in the middle of it? It's going to be a bit of a challenge."

"So fundamentally, I'm just keeping the third dimension in my back pocket, to do other engineering. I think it would be relatively easy to imaging taking a 2D model like this, and having a finite number of layers of it, sort of a 2.1D model, where there would be a little local communication up and down, and then it was indefinitely scalable in two dimensions."

"And I think that might in fact be quite powerful. Beyond that you think about things like what about wrap-around torus connectivity rooowaaah, non-euclidian dwooraaah, aaah uuh, they say you can do that if you want, but you have to respect indefinite scalability. Our world is 3D, and you can make little tricks to make toruses embedded in a thing, but it has other consequences."

Here's more stuff about the Moveable Feast Machine:

Seems like a poor way to rationalize avoiding planning ahead.
The number of open positions says nothing about the nature of the work. I can open a position for a doctor to work for me for $100 a month and while it's an "open position" it will not be and could never be filled and yet it's still a job opening.
In addition some people are working multiple jobs to barely survive so again there is no defined relationship of number of jobs to number of workers or whether that's a good or a bad thing.

I would agree with you if wages had risen enough that workers could work one job and have their needs met but that won't happen any time soon, especially with robots on the horizon. The only thing that makes sense is to plan ahead.
Wouldn't be my intention to minimize the impact it has currently over the lifes of 30 people each year in the entire planet, but you must admit that among 7700000000 humans (0.0000000039 % of humanity affected by Guinea worm) is not a high number.

With zero people dead by this animal in the last years, does not feel like its extinction would be an urgent problem to adress.

If we wipe it, what would prevent somebody tomorrow to ask for the extinction of the much more dangerous sharks?, or tigers, polar bears, scary spiders, and dogs of course (dogs kill lots of people each year, maybe we should wipe them), or pretty much anything alive that could cause allergies to some people, or that could be seen by somebody as disgusting or ugly.

Economic resources are limited and we have worse problems that are not being adressed.

Then that's the right strategy for you. You're intentionally loading all your bets towards a single massive payday.

For someone on Main Street, however, the odds of any payoff are probably more important than the size of the potential payoff.

> a Supreme Court Justice who went to community college

To be fair, you cannot become an attorney just going to community college. You need a graduate degree. Graduate school admissions do not have the legacy admissions preference that undergrad does. While true that all current SC judges went to Harvard or Yale, they did not necessarily go for undergrad. For example, Clarence Thomas went to Conception Abbey Seminary for undergrad, which is a little-known school in Kansas.
Great read! Lots of potent talking points for your next financial meeting at work.

I saw a company advisor get all bent because so many people were taking out 401k loans. So we had to listen to him (a millionaire) and the CEO (also a millionaire) talk about how "cheap" money is at the moment and how they're both taking out mortgages and investing the money because their mortgage rates are so low. Then my boss said, verbatim, "I know, for a fact, with what you're making that any of you could get a loan at a credit union right now."

There's a lot of older people in my industry who take an executives word for gospel. It was heartbreaking to see this man gaslight everybody with his unwitting ignorance to how real people get by.

DJB is not saying that an entropy pool is insecure, as you put it. Nor is he saying that one shouldn't bother with a PRNG seeded with RDRAND and/or other hardware sources of entropy.

DJB has an axe to grind (and rightly so) here in that he's pushing cryptographic algorithms that need less (or no) entropy. Specifically EdDSA instead of ECDSA. And he's also dismantling some of the bad arguments about how /dev/urandom should operate.

An operating system doesn't know why an application needs entropy, just that it does, and I don't see the problem with having an SRNG for that purpose. DJB doesn't even say that a system SRNG is not good, but, rather, he's quite sensibly saying that _applications_ should stretch one good 256-bit chunk of entropy. And yes, DJB correctly points out that there's no need to have security relative to an attacker that once saw the entire state of the SRNG at an earlier point in time -- but that does not mean that a kernel-land SRNG shouldn't add entropy to its pool, just that it doesn't buy you much.

Imagine having a mental model of US demographics so bad that you think all Asian-Americans live on the West coast.
I agree, but to clarify a point: the "nearly half" number includes athletes, legacy admits, children of faculty and big doners, whether or not they would have otherwise gotten in on academic merits. The authors estimate that only a quarter would have. I didn't read deeply enough to see if they broke that number by legacy admits only.
This is desperately needed. We have:

1. An oversupply of newly minted PhD's literally waiting for tenured profs to die so that there is an opening

2. A skyrocketing demand from people looking to go to university, with acceptance rates everywhere dropping.

Connect these with building more universities. It might only be possible at the state level, look at how California opened UC Merced in 2005.
Does the study say that they "used the legacy backdoor"? I think most college applications just ask the applicant if any family members attended or teach at the institution. It would be pretty foolish to leave that blank if you had family members that had gone or taught there.
Sure, its possible that they place "greater emphasis on academic education" etc., but then you have to ask yourself what is the reason behind this.

As an Asian American who has had good academic success, my best guess is its socioeconomic. Asians who came to the US in the 70s - 80s often were highly educated, upper middle class, and they had resources to raise their kids towards academic success. They certainly faced some struggles, but were not socially disadvantaged in the way that other minority groups in the US have been.

You may not have meant it this way, but your post reads like a racist dog whistle.
Isn't that a strong argument for class as a better means for analysis? I mean, if they're so interlinked, why not avoid the pitfalls of racialism?
Again, the amount of heating will vary depending on the type of plastic.

Also, it'd only work for thermoplastics. Anything that thermosets instead would have to be treated differently as well.
Even if you ignore the legacy admissions issue, if you count Jews as a separate group, gentile whites are the most underrepresented group at Harvard.
What about the bright kids that can't afford to move away?

What about the crumbling infrastructure in those rural areas which falls apart if you made any attempt to move people out there?

Or what do you do about the poor rural folk you displace through what is essentially extremely sudden government gentrification?

Honestly we have plenty of universities, many of which are not Harvard but still have incredible professors and bright students. Instead of building universities in the middle of nowhere, we should take that money to make higher education (whether it's trade or not) free and help fund people move to those universities. This is a far quicker solution than hoping to fix the problem 20-30 years from now when we need a solution today.

The definition of "sexual assault" covers what allegedly took place. Yes, if you change the words used, you end up with an inaccurate statement. Why is that something that needs to be pointed out?

Stallman's entire point is that he feels the use of the word "assault" causes people to believe the crime is more serious than he believes it is. Pointing that out isn't uncharitable.
UT Austin, Notre Dame, and U of Chicago, while not all public, are fantastic universities in the deep interior of the country.

It’s a great point, although I think it’s already been done. There’s a lot of attention on Harvard in particular but there’s plenty of good education in the country. It’s just become very expensive and too focused on the perceived top 2.

You know you can put a key with a null value onto a topic. If your backend object store gives you data by key, this should give you exactly what you want.

Later on, you can put a small subset of the data in value to assist with filtering or caching (if you want).

That's probably where we're headed. If this isn't already required by law (I'm genuinely unsure), I suspect this would be a rare case where Congress could easily muster bipartisan support to make it so.
Subtracted everyone else from 100%. I think they made people pick either only one ethnicity in their polls, or they were lumped under 'other'. The numbers I get are close to https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/harvard-university/s..., so while not totally accurate, I'd say they're reasonably good.

Because when it comes to academics they (in particular Ashkenazi) have an advantage. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jewish_intelligence) - so it does not have directly to do with religion, it's just that their persecution in the middle ages (because of their religion) seems to have lead to a slightly higher capability with regard to abstract thinking (the drawback here being a higher vulnerability to hereditary diseases).
The parents who buy there way in probably had the same done to them. If you have money you are more likely to avoid the poorer middle class kids who got in based on grades so marriages would be between two people who bought there way in because the other students are less likely to socialize over study.
The University goes first. Nevada has zero income tax, almost no property tax. It's about as business friendly as it gets (no 9 on some random list I found); the problem is it's a barren desert devoid of anything worth doing.

You smack a big research university into it, and bam, suddenly construction companies are there, then housing, then food, etc etc. Hopefully some new ventures get spun up by students and faculty, and now we're running.
I doubt these legacy admissions are going for a tech job, especially the ones that aren't that smart. They are going to go to jobs where connections and what Harvard brings can help them - politics, lobbying, the media, executive roles in nonprofits and in investment firms.
Your problem here is ability and motive. What other countries are capable of executing this attack and would want to steal this information? As far as I know Comac is the only company that is attempting to build planes that rival Boeing and Airbus for commercial flight so you have your motive. The Chinese have a history of corporate espionage (lookup Huawei and Nortel) and given that Comac is a state owned company you can clearly understand why they would try to steal information.

If you're trying to frame someone, there has to be a plausible explanation for why you would do it.
Ok, we'll take Bezos out of the title above.
Because it really doesn't. The total incoming undergrad class is ~1650. Across the entire Ivy League it's around 17000. If 20% of admissiosn are affected by legacy/faculty/donors, then that's like 3400 people who wanted to go to the Ivy League who couldn't (I suspect this is a high number, but ignore that). To include all the other higher tier schools ehre this might matter, let's just call it 10,000 people affected. There are 4.3M 18 year olds in the US. This means that roughly 0.2% of people in an academic cohort will have to accept going to a slightly lower tier school then they would have otherwise due to legacy admissions.

BTW- There are a fair number of studies out there suggesting that students who are admitted to top-tier schools but don't go have no effect on longer term outcomes than those who do, so other than short term disappointment it might be a null effect.

Meanwhile, universal pre-k enables families (ane espicially mothers) the ability to return to their own work/careers faster and has been shown to improve long term academic success (although their is some question to scalability).

So between the two, universial pre-k seems like a far more important issue...

I often wonder why there are no such robots in Manhattan now?

As someone in the food automation space, I would suppose this is probably some combination of: (1) Cost to custom-manufacture in small volumes, where small < 1000s. (2) Patent encumbered. (3) Food safety regulations. (4) Low output volume. (5) Reliability not 100% (eg. fails in winter temperatures) (6) Cost of site-call engineers to resolve semi-frequent issues too high. (7) Electrical consumption rather high. (8) Potential issues connecting to public water system, limiting viable sites and potentially introducing issues of pest ingress. (9) General novelty / wow-factor wears off. (10) You can't eat it every day.
