Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard. Neither Brin nor Page went to Harvard and are both more famous for their connection to Stanford as graduate students IMO
Out of curiosity, why did you omit the word 'possible' from the sentence you quoted.
Would everyone be satisfied if a restaurant or a store discriminated based on race even if it doesn't take any federal funds?
Racist policies are racist. Hopefully Supreme Court takes it and strikes it down.

Which would be fine.

> I mean to suggest that in a bubble / "irrational exuberance"

Earlier this year, Uber IPO'd and raised $8.1 Billion in public money. It then _immediately_ lost $5.236 Billion in Q2. https://investor.uber.com/news-events/news/press-release-det...

Public investors are weary about giving more money to Silicon Valley startups because the public has already lost so much money this year on other bets.

Yes, "irrational exuberance" is going away today. But there are many, many companies that the public has bought into this year and last year, at HUGE valuations. But this only confirms what I believe to be the deflating of the new-tech bubble.

Uber is laying off staff and cutting costs. Future investors and future IPOs are "poisoned" due to how poorly Uber has done. Anyone else planning on IPOing in this environment is going is going to have more trouble.

The public is going to increase their scrutiny of future tech IPOs. If Uber did that poorly, who else may be a trap?
Those are different recipes, but I'm not sure that's where the "art" comes in.

The challenge of baking is that the components aren't very standardized. You won't get a consistently good result by robotically mixing 1000.0g flour with 7.00 g yeast and 650 mL distilled 35˚C water, and mixing for 400 seconds. The flour varies from bag to bag, even of the same brand. Yeast is alive and responds differently depending on the temperature and other conditions; sourdough cultures are even more finicky.

As a result, there's an "art" to knowing when to add more water/flour or deciding when the bread is ready to shape and bake. I would bet you could get this more under control in a commercial/industrial setting, where you've got proofing cabinets that control the ambient temp/humidity and other specialized equipment. At home though, you've more or less got to do it by feel.

Affirming precedent is a part of setting and establishing precedent. It doesn't set a new precedent, but its absolutely a part of establishing precedent for the future.
Thank you! I fixed the links, and added the link to the Doctor-Seuss-like pencil drawing.
The thing is: robot videos are viral.

That doesn't mean white collar jobs, even those that are high-skilled aren't at big risk.

You just need to look at the rate AI is advancing, the amounts of startups and money aiming at white collar jobs, and what's waiting in research.
> I find it shocking so many people were expecting him to just take it the beating or 'run away' and leave his partner there.

That's what the protesters are expected to do.

Attacking the police was definitely a bad idea, especially for strategic reasons--this illustrates why Ghandi and King preached 100% passive resistance. Protesters can allow themselves to be brutalized for months, and the moment a few of them hit back, the narrative starts to shift to "violent thugs."

If you want to retain the moral high ground in the face of organized propaganda, you're not allowed to physically defend yourself even once.
Why should historical discrimination matter to the policy? If at all, it should be about discrimination today.
Is "Jewish" a race? Or a religion? Or a culture?

And how does harvard assert the "race" of someone in the first place?

This is all extremely confusing.

> It is absurd that a judge would knowingly make a judgement that a higher court will overturn.

If the judge makes the ruling based on previous rulings made by the higher court, while knowing that the higher court is likely to now overturn those rulings, it is still absurd?

The way the US system works is that lower courts are generally bound by previous higher court decisions, assuming those decisions are germane to the case in question.
You're comparing an SSH implementation with a terminal (that seems to also include an SSH implementation).

For Terminals, Windows has a number of outstanding terminal apps:

- Windows Terminal (a tabbed terminal made by Microsoft)

- Fluent

- Hyper 3

- Terminus

- ConEmu

And a billion other maintained tabbed terminals, some with an SSH UI if you want it. As an SSH implementation though, openssh is probably the best.
There is already talk of fraud in mainstream publications: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/marketing-expert-scot...
"I'm all in favour of the principle that it's good to reward people who do things that contribute to society and it's good to punish people, one way or another, if they do things that harm society. This means that people who develop Free Software that's useful deserve a reward, and people who develop proprietary software that's attractive deserve a punishment."

That is from this interview https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/transcripts/rms-fs-2006-03-09....

We aren't talking about the age of consent. RMS explicitly said children before they hit puberty / sexual maturity which is a bit different than a 17 year old to most people.

* One can contest the vaccine award, and there's a pretty fixed law behind it[0]. Basically, if it's on the adverse list the claim wins automatically. If not, the claimant must show that the harm was done by the vaccine. The result can be appealed to civil courts.

* The FDA did screw up once in 2004 with a flu vaccine - and it was caught in time. I doubt a single miscommunication 15 years ago is representative of the process.

* I stand by my summary. Sure, your original post didn't use the same exact words, but it's pretty typical rhetoric: greedy corporations ("corporate profits", "$600 epipens") and arrogant flawed science ("Barry Marshall.. after getting a Nobel prize some Dr doubt his results").

* After all that, you're not really saying what "reform" you have in mind. If history is any guide, the misEducation of the last twenty years did a lot more harm than good.

correlation != causality

If someone has threatened you with a gun or you live in an area with increased gun violence, I would expect that greatly increases the chances that you'd want to acquire your own. This cohort would already be at a much higher risk of gun death before they owned a gun as well.

There has never been a placebo controlled double blind study on gun ownership. Probably never will be because of ethical concerns.

It probably does increase risk, but I expect the effect size is much lower than 2-3x.
Unless you are truly innovating, then you don't care what the other guy is doing. Spying is only good for keeping up.

They didn't fit well in most places. Now they might.
As others have said, it’s not about religion it’s about ethnicity. If you really wanted to skew things, look at Ashkenazi Jews versus everyone else. You’ll find the former group extremely over-represented among Nobel laureates, Fields medalists, Turing award winners, and world chess champions. In light of all these achievements, I think it makes sense to distinguish Jews from non-Jewish whites at Harvard, where the achievements are paralleled there as well.
Based on the analysis done for the court case, they are their athletes.
I used mbasic at some point (and had the normal one blocked), and then I just unfollowed everyone. I now just check someone's profile when I remember that they exist - once a month or even less often.

It can matter a little because of vesting schedules—you don't typically get the stock/bonuses as soon as you start, and it can take ~4 years (depending on the company) to start getting the full comp package. So if you leave a year after joining, you might get very little of the non-salary compensation and the final number may be closer to $150k than $400k.

That said, unless you're not planning on sticking around for very long, I agree that the total compensation number is the one that ultimately matters.

Kagan, an Obama nominee, skipped the Texas case. I think it'd be ruled the same way this time.
Nice, great job! I'm glad to know that those hard objects are handled, I'll probably put in a pre order today.
If I call up a pizza joint and they say it will take one hour to get my order to me, I might call someone else instead. Improving their throughput could absolutely generate more business.
We’re kind of stuck with current battery tech. While a ton of research has been going into batteries, the energy density has barely improved.

We’re very much at the extreme edge of diminishing returns with the current chemistries.

It’s a fundamental material science limit. There are a few new chemistries that are significantly better. But those are nowhere near mass-production. Expensive, unreliable, unsafe.

The very high-performance drones use carbon-fiber composites. Those have longer runtime with current batteries. But again, those are expensive.
Honestly, Unity WebGL GI looks way better and probably is also easier to integrate into your mesh modelling/texturing workflow.

Of course it's discrimination. Just look at the definition of the word. The only debate is if slight discrimination is acceptable if it achieves higher goals.
I use Windows Terminal about 10 hours a day. Windows Terminal has got tabs, Unix cut and Paste, emoji support (surprisingly how common outputting emoji is in tests suites etc).

The 0.5 version is usable as a day to day terminal.

In a lot of data science focused places, like mine, people are more or less researchers. There is no repetitive work, and everyone must show creativity and autonomy. You can't automate that.
I mean being raised with the attitude when you see the world, the world sees you makes the facebook thing just another venue for that same idea. There is an acceptable level of neglect for a facebook account. Just put up a nice photo of yourself and forget about it. Like myspace and friendster, ect. It's not clear what the value of facebook is to a 'customer'. It's basically a modern day newspaper, with classifieds and crossword puzzles, except your friends are now 50% of the news headlines. I never used to read newspapers either.
I guess you're right. Now, what to do about the 400 million or so weapons in private hands? Should the National Guards of each state get those since they are the rightful militia?
Yes. You have to claim your race when applying for just about anything now.
Because they represent authority and the law just like in any other country. The fact that LEOs carry guns is because they are surrounded by a lot of other individuals who are unable to take smart decisions while wielding a deadly firearm.

Your statement is forced just to make the point. I don't think the gun control topic was ever related to law enforcement or military personnel carrying guns. It's more about having guns easily accessible to violent and repeat offenders, mentally unstable people, etc.
Not only that, but you can also track performance/crash rate/etc of each service individually and over time, which is a really powerful tool to have. Infinitely better than a monolithic system at that scale.
So, asians are less likely to be leaders because of their race? African-Americans are more likely to be leaders because of their race?

Let's be honest here. Everyone has an incentive to gain insight into what everyone else is doing.

Everyone is spying on everyone else.
Income inequality is only "unachievable" exactly because of thinking like this. If people were genuinely invested in equality they would be asking "what can i do to get us there faster?" instead of being defeatist and calling it unachievable because you didn't personally create the problem.

This is why you're supposed to use getrandom() instead of /dev/random. It doesn't block on "low" entropy.

What were you using that uses /dev/random?
Yes, you're correct of course. I considered rewording my comment actually. The point is that the precedent had already been set, this decision primarily follows that precedent.
The solution to walled garden brands is to have registrars and world governments take over identity? If DNSSEC had been widely deployed a few years ago, Muammar Gaddafi would have owned BIT.LY's CA. If a CA misbehaves, Google and Mozilla can nuke them from orbit --- as they just did with several of the industry's largest CAs. If .COM misbehaves --- a thing that has happened repeatedly in the last 10 years, because the DoJ owns it --- Google does, what? Move to .IO? Oh, wait, that's a Five Eyes TLD as well!

You've got one thing right, though: virtually no major Internet tech companies, save Cloud Flare (which sells DNSSEC services) and Paypal (but not their subsidiaries like Braintree or Venmo) use DNSSEC. Not Microsoft, Google, or Apple; not Mozilla, Stripe, or Square; not Facebook, not Cisco, not Oracle; not Salesforce, not Twitter; not Netflix. If there's a conspiracy against DNSSEC, it is deep.

Firefox, Chromium, and Apple piloted DNSSEC years ago, and then withdrew support. It's been 25 years with DNSSEC. He's dead, Jim. Let him go.

I think the thing I find most objectionable about the AA policies is that they proceed from an intellectually lazy and flawed premise -- that a group's representation following a selective process should exactly equal its representation in the general population.

That is demonstrably false from general experience in life.
I think that is exactly what OP meant, as in, no new projects or further Ada marketshare. I think the same can be said for Lisp and Smalltalk.
According to UC Berkeley (https://internationaloffice.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files...), in 2018, they had 6569 international students enrolled out of a total of 42,519 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_Berk...).

This means that 15% of the UC population was international.

On the contrary, Harvard admits about 21% international students: https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/harvard-university/s....

By that metric, UC berkeley is way more pro-America than Harvard, because UC berkeley educates more Americans as a percentage of its class.

You should probably attempt to cite facts when making statements.

Twice exceptional individuals have especially frustrating lives. Their high intelligence masks their difficulties and then other people claim they are making excuses and not trying hard enough.

No one wants to cut any slack for a smart person with disabilities. They just want to double down on "Smart people are lazy, arrogant, over entitled asshats and you need to behave better!"

There are generally too few resources available for such people. Most resources help with one issue or the other (giftedness or disability), not both at the same time. Such resources are a poor fit for the needs of 2e people.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twice_exceptional
Yes.

Africa is a huge continent of 54 countries with a population of 1.2 billion people, so it makes perfect sense that such a huge geographic area like that would have many excellent schools compared to the areas of concentrated and persistent poverty in the US.

The two areas aren't remotely comparable, unless you were thinking of something else?
Yeah, I think bear spray is usually a more appropriate form of defense against animal attacks: in addition to effectiveness, when humans go to their 'home' it is unfair for animals' natural defense or feeding behaviors to cause their deaths.

Racism is racist, hypocrites.

It is ultimately a response to the fact that Jews were treated as the same people by policies designed to exclude them. There were no such policies for various Christian groups.

Practically for much of this history in this part of the world, "Jewish" has been used interchangeably with Ashkenazi. Jewish is not an ethnicity, but Ashkenazi is, and most of the Jewish people at a place like Harvard (or applied-but-denied) have been Ashkenazi. Note this paragraph is descriptive, not normative: this conflating of Jewish and Ashkenazi is a way by which other Jews (many of which face even more racial discrimination) get erased from discourse.
They did bring fame though right?
