There are 2D rules that are aesthetically similar to Rule 30 (in how reactive and "fluffy" they are, and how they tend to perpetuate instead of die down), but a 2D and a 3D rule are fundamentally different.

But you can apply simple transformations on rules, like reflecting them (1D and 2D) and rotating them (2D only), or layering them (having a bunch of lower dimension rules running in parallel). Or you can perform a 1D rule along each horizontal/vertical axis (or even diagonal axis) and then combine them somehow (like XOR). But that will typically have a vastly different behavior.

One of my favorite 2D rules that looks kind of like an animated version of Rule 30 is "HGLASS", named that because it looks kind of like the falling sand in an hourglass. If you run it in a torus (edges wrap around), it tends to settle into a circular dependency tree with gaps bubbling up through it like space between cars in a traffic jam.

intelligence is estimated to only be ~50% inherited. the rest is environmental. Based on that... half the legacy admits would be there based on intelligence, the other half would be there based on parental choice of university and might not be qualified.
The issue of discrimination is real but the intent of this lawsuit is not as honorable as you think. Check out the commentary online about the plaintiff, Students for Fair Admissions, and their anti-affirmative action bias.
Under Canadian law, pretty much anything that can be used as a weapon is illegal to carry for use as a weapon. If that fight was in a wooded area where carrying bear spray was a reasonable precaution against bears, there would be no crime. The weapon offense was for carrying bear spray with the primary intention of using it on people.
Killing armed rioters would get much less condemnation than killing unarmed protesters.

Productivity at scale: How we improved build time with Gradle build cache
Most people who use this argument forget about the scale and duration of this transformation back then and now. Back in 1800s there were merely ~1 billion people, then in 1900s it was ~1.6 billion. Lets say even if 50% of people back then lost jobs you had to find new jobs for 'only' ~0.8 billion people and you had more than 100 years for that transition. WWI and WWII at the beginning of 20 century 'helped' to reduce population and keep other busy to rebuild what got destroyed during the war. I guess we would like to avoid that scenario.

Now we have 7.7 billion people and it is estimated we will have 10 billion by 2050. Pace of current technical development is much faster than in 1800s and education for acquiring new skills probably takes even longer than in 1800s.

Will we be able to hypothetically reskill 5 billion of people in the next 50 years? Personally I doubt it.

> You have to define temporary or else it just becomes de-facto permanent.

Perhaps, once it becomes settled law. However given Roe v Wade is still up for debate means that defacto permanence is not really a problem.

The answer then is "When the supreme court decides that the argument presented is sufficient to warrant no longer allowing race-concious admissions is a factor."
The book I recommend on this topic is '10 Arguments for deleting your social media accounts right now' by Jaron Lanier.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37830765-ten-arguments-f...

It makes the arguments for doing so very clearly and with a good sense of humor. Lanier, is a treasure, I always like how balanced he sees the tech industry, it isn't all good or bad but a mingling of ideas.
Out of curiosity, why not just lump most of it under "socioeconomic disadvantages" category (mostly based on the family's financial situation)? E.g., poor asian kids shouldn't be grouped with the less poor asian kids and shouldn't have been at a disadvantage compared to a rich african american kid for admission purposes. This proposed approach sounds so obvious, I feel like there has gotta be some caveat in it that I am missing. Is it easily gameable or something?
This violates freedom of speech.
> "Globally recognized standards, such as ISO 27001, 27701 and 9001, can definitely ensure a baseline of security, privacy and quality assurance amid suppliers. One should, however, bear in mind that they are no silver bullet and some additional monitoring of suppliers handling critical business data is a requisite.”

This is misleading.

ISO standards dictate that a company should have certain processes in place. Like quality assurance, customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, ect. They do not specify individual processes or procedures to the company. They just lay out which structures should exist in an ISO compliant company. It is up to the company to develop processes and procedures that fulfill those structures.

The specific standards that are a "silver bullet" (as the author puts it) are NIST 800-171 "DFARS", ITAR, AS9100, NADCAP, and other smaller (yet equally significant) manufacturer-specific specifications that get flowed down the supply-chain on an as-needed basis.

So there is no ambiguity. If a supplier does business with a diverse enough client base in aerospace they will almost certainly have overlapping systems in place to protect against these things. Without pretty much all of the specifications I listed above, a supplier would not legally limited in what they are allowed to possess and produce.

We tried various iterations of this when I was a PM a Blue Jeans (enterprise video conferencing company). We always called it the virtual water cooler - a place where people on distributed teams could just pop in and ask questions/chat as people in the office do at the water cooler.

Lots of customers showed interest, but nobody ended up actually using it. Video conferences always ended up being scheduled ahead of time (i.e. meetings) or escalated (more like this use case - starting a Slack chat and turning into a call because that was easier for the topic at hand), and this occupied a sort of weird middle ground between the two.

I still love the idea, and I hope you can make it work, but I suspect that it's really only ever going to be practical for a small subset of distributed teams that have just the right culture for it (and I don't know exactly what that culture is).
There are some serious problems with the pathways to engineering majors though. I don't know if it is still the case, but I remember my state school expected calculus pre-calculus in high school as the norm for engineering majors. To get to that level of mathematics in high school you had to progress from to Alegbra II to FST, to pre-calc or calculus, but you were only required by the school system to take up through Alegbra II, which a lot of students got to in 9th grade. That means that you had to decide to be an engineer at age 14 and keep taking math.

The reason why students exit engineering programs isn't just the material- it can be a terrible teacher (hello physics professor with a thick accent that would insult their students for being stupid), the culture, or being underprepared for the material with no clear path forward to becoming prepared.

Given what people pay RH for, this makes sense. Given why people like me no longer choose to run RH, this makes perfect sense, as a reason why we don't run RH: The money we pay RH to maintain support for old code can be better invested in converting old code to run on new platforms.

There is a class of client who needs what RH is selling and I am glad they sell it, and that people like my bank can invest in that, because longterm stability of fintech cores for a banking product is very important: People ran applications developed for LEO, in emulation under GEORGE and then subsequently re-emulated on later operating systems because ICL committed to that to meet customer needs. People emulated PDP-11 RSTS inside Vax/VMS for the same reason. People emulate OS360 inside RS6000 based machines..

TL;DR RH supporting Python2 makes perfect sense. If you don't use RH, then this doesn't have to matter to you.

Some of these could actually be legit:

> Forecast staff, equipment, utensils, and silverware.

Sounds like something a catering business would need.

> Run errands, such as animal dehorning or castration.

> Operate farm machinery, such as espresso machines.

Both of these sound like things a ranch would need (who says a cattle rancher wouldn't appreciate an espresso while turning a bull into a steer?).

Brad Stone wrote a Bezos/Amazon bio called “Everything Store.”
IMO I should not have to go to any college to become an attorney. California does not require attending law school to take the bar exam and become a licensed attorney. The law is written on paper, case law is produced by the courts, and the techniques for comprehending and using law are not rocket science and can be self-taught using books.

Expecting that only top-tier colleges can train good lawyers is elitist nonsense, just more gate keeping by the upper class.
I've known a lot of Main Street entrepreneurs over the years, small business people of various levels of success. I know far more of those people than I know entrepreneurs that have been VC-backed.

I'm talking about people that own insurance agencies, small city newspapers, boutique shops, fast food franchises, small consulting businesses in tech or elsewhere, car dealerships, convenience stores, bakeries, food shops, and so on.

To add to what the parent, Will, said - very few people in general possess extraordinary skill at anything. That's just reality. It's true of most business creators as well as it is the general population. Most entrepreneurs don't have access to the networks required to raise millions of dollars in venture capital, even if they wanted to. And given the very finite nature of such things (there are only so many VCs and so much money, and relatively few VC deals even in the largest economy that has 330m people), most could never get access to them. The numbers are badly against anyone that wants to attempt it.

You're not building the next giant company without extraordinary skill, most likely. Sure, there are some flukes that get through somehow, mostly that isn't the case however. Mostly, it takes extraordinarily skill at a thing, combined with immense luck, typically immense hard work, immense sacrifice, and access to elite networks. Yes, Joe/Jane Average can beat the odds, overcome everything that is dramatically stacked against them, it happens, and it's kind of like hitting the lottery. More likely they'll ruin their life chasing a nearly impossible dream.

99%+ of the population is eliminated from contention instantly. It's simply not a consideration, it's not a potential, and I believe most of them know it. Certainly all the small business operators I've ever talked to, they tend to understand their capabilities and limits very well, especially those that have been in business a while. They know better than to waste their time on fantasies (and that isn't a bad thing). Very few of them that I know did it to try to get very wealthy, mostly it was for all the other reasons: independence, not having a boss, charting your own course, pursuing a solid opportunity that becomes a good job, doing something they enjoy, etc. The VC game is an entirely different beast, it makes perfect sense that most entrepreneurs would have little interest in it.

Looking for an entry-level/junior software development position to kickstart my career transition. I have an MBA and CPA with 8 years of experience accounting for small businesses, working in cross-functional teams to solve business problems, and communicating with vendors and stakeholders.

A position with a company working on a finance product or within that domain would fit my skillset well, but I'm also open to other opportunities where I can learn more.
The China defenders can't seem to decide whether to argue that no, the Chinese are not extreme nationalists, or that they are and this is perfectly right.
But Harvard is a private school, which I think makes a difference. I also don't know how you maintain a diverse student body with different cultural perspectives if you aren't in some way filtering on cultural background, of which race is a part. Honestly, I don't know. I don't think it's an easy question. However, I think there's a decent case that, if Harvard is making decisions like this, it's ability to receive funding under title IX is called into question. Not that it would really adversely impact them, but it's a valid complaint that they maybe shouldn't be eligible. However, again I don't know! I don't think these are black & white matters.
This is incorrect.

Don't mistake my seeing things for how they are as apathy. That's a false equivalence. I absolutely support getting out and participating in the political process, but it's important to understand just how much of what happens is completely out of our control because how else do we fix that? The act of noticing and speaking of this is not the same as the act of giving up.

Also, my responses were a reality check in the face of the propaganda you're speaking of. The "the US is the most free and moral country!" folks are getting a much bigger dose of force-fed freedom than anybody else.

Well, just going by the article, they defined it as 500 grand a year. Not sure how they got that number, (?), but that's the number they gave.

I'm just pointing out that the percentage of whites who are not athletes, and whose parents make less than 500 grand is pretty small. And the percentage of blacks matching that profile is even smaller.

And if you really want to see some depressing numbers, factor out the females. That is, count up the number of white males who are not athletes whose parents make less than 500 grand. Or for a real laugh, count up the number of black males who are not athletes whose parents make less than 500 grand.

This is just the ugly reality of how our society is currently structured. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that in this society, these sorts of things have a lot to do with money. More to do with money than race even, which is saying something.
I'm guessing if you took age into account (i.e. the average age of a white person is older than the average Hispanic person and the average Harvard attendee will be younger than the average person) then the positions on the bottom two might swap over.

The average age of people who identify as two races is markedly lower than other groups though they're a relatively small group, so not sure how that works out. But there's roughly as many people who identify as both white and native American as just native American. If Harvard only lets them choose one, which I guess they must if it adds up to 100%, then that could have a big impact on those numbers depending on how people react to that.

I actually agree with you! Most cases should be able to be settled in court just by the two parties at odds. If the law is too complicated so as not to allow that, the law is what needs to change, not the individuals seeking redress.
