I would bet you're right - even just doing sauce/cheese/pepperoni is probably 70% of pizzas though.

And you can throw fresh toppings on top of that as a manual last step in 30 seconds before it goes in the oven.

Still seems kinda ridiculous. Watching people in pizza places... seems like most of the time is spent stretching the dough to be pizza shaped and appropriate thickness without tears, which this contraption doesn't solve.

Once that's done, people sauce, cheese and top pizzas about as fast as their ovens seem to work.
The distinction between Jewish and non-Jewish whites has been contextually important when discussing the history of discrimination in college admissions. The original move towards subjective ranking of applicants was in part a way to limit the number of Jewish applicants: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-ivy-leagues-history-of-d...
Oh you misunderstood or I was not clear -- i meant the spreadsheet that listed who was assigned to where that is used by the staff to deal with the move in.

Britain benefitted from Industrial revolution because they looted natrual resources from their colonies, it was also unethical.

Then those Anglos went to make America.

Lot of Europe benefited from British industrialization, as technology and skill just flowed to the rest of the continent.

To steal from Europe or America is unethical yes but to me it's justice served

India should do the same.

Why not steal technology? If India steals technology for better power plants and ends up lowering their carbon emission, what's wrong with that?

If china steals adhesive technology from Germany (Henkle?) and ends up lowering their polluting their river, what's wrong with that?

Stealing better technology to further development and reduce load on planet should be fundamental right.

If people in India or China, simply can't afford better, greener, safer tech. Why shouldn't they steal IP and manufacture locally, which ends up improving quality of life of millions.
Asian Americans were as discriminated against as African Americans under Jim Crow. The fact is that we have forgotten the rampant bigotry against Asian Americans because us Asian Americans now basically own the United States of America.

Asian Americans had to put up with (among other things):

* Being ineligible to become citizens of the United States well after the passage of the 13th Amendment. There was a time in this country when both the white and black man could enjoy citizenship and voting but neither the brown nor yellow man could.

* A good portion of Asian Americans (the Japanese) who were American citizens were enslaved by the government for three years, after having all their land and businesses taken away. This was in the 1940s.

* Being victims of hate crimes. There was an entire gang in New Jersey in the 80s dedicated to beating up and murdering Indians (dotbusters). This is not a new phenomenon. The labor movement in Seattle also organized a mob to rid Washington state of cheap Indian labor in the early 1900s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellingham_riots)

* The stereotype that Asians prevent 'real American' people from achieving their wealth goals is oddly persistent. It is highly reminiscent of the blame that Hitler laid upon the Jews as preventing real Germans from achieving their potential. The Asiatic Exclusion League in the United States had its first meeting in 1907.

* Moreso than black people, Asian Americans are constantly cast as being perpetual foreigners. Americans whose families have been in this country decades are still treated as Asians, rather than 'full' Americans.

I think it is especially telling that the organizations in favor of affirmative action are also the ones that started the Asian exclusion leagues. The labor movement in this country spearheaded affirmative action. Affirmative action discriminates against asians. This continues a long line of labor movement participation in Asian Exclusion Leagues, and it needs to end now.

> "I hope the pro-democracy movement in HK returns to its origins of peaceful demonstrations."

Peaceful protests have limits in what can be achieved, if anything, and have actually slowly bit by bit lost a little freedom every year. They've been protesting every July 1 since handover-day 1997 [1], as well as every anniversary of Tiananmen [2], as well as every new year demanding universal suffrage and further influence of mainland China [3].

The problem is not intractable if you are willing to solve pieces of it. Then you solve another piece. Then somebody realizes they're the odd man out, and they solve their piece.

You know, I never realized until I read your comment that "drone" seems to specifically refer to a UAV, and "robot" to a terrestrial type.

Which is strange to me, since when I hear "drone" the first animal that comes to mind is an ant. I thought it'd just be a catch-all term for any kind of bot.
A colleague of mine declared African-American when applying to a US medical school, being from Egypt, a country in Africa, despite also being visibly white and a US citizen. The medical school paired him with a black African-American interviewer for the interview, who was visibly surprised and possibly annoyed at seeing the person he was interviewing.
You didn't actually offer a refutation of anything the parent comment said.
I don't see how it is possible for someone to argue that discrimination based on race isn't racist and prejudiced.

I also think the presupposition that an increase in "diversity" is always "good" isn't necessarily always "true".

Diversity efforts sit in a gray area that is nowhere close to race quotas.
> There is a written test, multiple-choice questions

So we have this in the United States but it has been accused of being discriminatory because the outcomes differ by race. You can't make this stuff up people!
Funny personal story:

In 2008 i applied for an IT role at News Corp in Sydney Australia, i didn’t get the job. In 2015 they (one of their subsidiary companies) acquired the company that i founded with two other partners. A much better outcome.

Perhaps it takes into account the % of pizzas which have a certain number of additional toppings. Presumably Margherita pizzas can take much less time?
When it comes to questions of "degrees" of racism in the US I believe the root of it goes to the news cycle. And in the news business there is a very old expression "If it bleeds, it leads."

Whatever the reason for one group having more violent crime over another - I guarantee you that the more violent groups' activities will be more closely covered due to the "bleed" factor.
Immigration is not a problem, even in Europe. At current rates, it would take several generations for immigrants to make up half of the population. But at that point, the immigrants' children and grand-children will have assimilated. Just like how immigrants to the USA lost their native language and customs, so too will this generation.

Today, the only thing remaining from the influx of Italians, Irish, and Germans, are a bastardized holiday, canned raviolis, and maybe a few "heritage" festivals. Hell, the USA fought two major wars against Germany despite previously having a large influx of German immigrants.

On the other points, I absolutely agree. It's often cheaper to just buy nations than to deploy your military at take it by force.

Ironically, you're the one moving the goalposts here.

The topic at hand is warren proposing _BREAKING UP_ large tech companies, while not doing the same to non-tech companies. Please stay on topic.
What? Are you being serious right now? You must be fun at parties.
What executives do is come up with organizational values that indirectly result in the strategy they want.

That's still incorrect. Microsoft didn't come up with Internet Explorer because Bill Gates set some organizational values. They came up with Internet Explorer because Gates identified Netscape as an existential threat to the company and told his engineers and product managers to do whatever it took to come up with a viable response. Similarly, when Steve Jobs designed the original Macintosh (or, later, when he came up with the iPhone), he definitely had a strategy in mind. It wasn't some values-setting, which led to a lower-level engineer or product manager creating the product. Likewise, when Jeff Bezos sent out his famous communique [1] mandating that Amazon move to a service-oriented architecture, I'm pretty sure he had some idea of a strategy.

I can keep going. When Larry Page and Sergey Brin decided to spend 9 figures on a video-sharing site with no history of profitability and a massive potential copyright liabilities, I'm pretty sure they had a strategy in mind. Likewise, when Zuckerberg decided to spend ten-figures on a messaging app, I'm pretty sure he wasn't doing it to "set values". The entire category of mergers and acquisitions is inherently strategic -- companies only seek mergers when their CEOs have a specific strategic outcome in mind.

This is strictly bad. getrandom was fine as it was, it's not the issue with the kernel if people don't read the explicitly documented man page on it. This is now changing behaviour, breaking the god damn userspace which is exactly 100% what the kernel shouldn't be doing.
Most interesting quote:

Carlip suggests instead that in a spacetime foam scenario, energy would exist everywhere in a vacuum—but if you took a much closer look, you would find Planck-sized areas that have an equal likelihood of expanding or contracting. And under such a scenario, the patchwork of tiny areas would appear the same as larger areas in the vacuum—and they would not expand or contract, which means they would have a zero cosmic constant. He notes that under such a scenario, time would have no intrinsic direction.

Doctype | Software engineer with reverse engineering skills / Anti-cheat engineer | Stockholm, Sweden | ONSITE, VISA or REMOTE (worldwide) | Full-time | https://www.doctype.se/

We're a small digital agency based in Stockholm, Sweden. Currently around 15 people. We have an office in the heart of Stockholm, but our employees are free to work from wherever they feel most productive. We've built https://lemondogs.com/, https://www.gothiaecup.com/, https://beta.esportal.se/, amongst other websites. Our largest clients are within the eSports segment.

We’re currently looking for a software engineer with reverse engineering skills to work with us on client-sided anti-cheat technology. Our current tech stack is mainly Go, MariaDB and React, but the project you would be working on is a standalone client built in C/C++, Go and Assembly.

Requirements:

* Good understanding of C and x86-64 assembly

* Good understanding of the x86 architecture

* Good understanding of the Windows NT kernel

* Good grasp of reverse engineering

* Eager to learn

Nice to have:

* Experience with reverse engineering malware/cheats/games, the windows NT kernel

* Experience with binary instrumentation

* Experience with hardware-assisted virtualization (such as VT-x and AMD-V), SLAT (Second Level Address
Translation) (e.g. EPT, NPT)

* Understanding cryptography primitives

The role we’re looking to fill is full-time. You’ll be working together with another anti-cheat engineer to combat cheaters in video games. We can offer relocation to Sweden and assist with housing.
Feel free to mail me at asamy@doctype.se if this sounds interesting to you!
Of course the elite students from Chinese universities are going to be brilliant, as elite students from any country generally will be. It would be ridiculous for me to claim that every single student in China doesn't understand the fundamentals of their field.

However, an academic culture that doesn't see anything wrong with cheating will mean their average cohort of students have a much weaker understanding of fundamentals compared to average students from a country that doesn't tolerate that.

Indeed no one is entitled to go to Harvard, but Harvard is also not entitled to federal research grants that are being funded by taxing Asian Americans under the same laws as other Americans, so I guess we are at an impasse.
Also time to make those shape-shifting suits from A Scanner Darkly (reference being from the movie version - it actually isn't too bad if you have not seen it).
Exactly, the law SCOTUS ruling associated with this claim says that just because people combine their resources under a corporation, you can't take away their first amendment rights.
Right, the states are not the same as the people. The right to bear arms is the right "of the people".
So, no geofencing or accesing NOTAMs, etc. in the AI? Regarding the second point I wholeheartedly agree, but I'm concerned when instead of the stern warning that flying these machines requires a good deal of study and preflight preparation to avoid endangering others or breaking the law, one constantly sees statements such as flying should require about the same minimum skill as using a smartphone camera (i.e. none), a three year old can operate it, etc.

Should we place a tax on murder? Certainly there's a payoff at which point, 50% of the voters will shrug their shoulders, and say: "Well, if someone's willing to pay 5 million dollars to want someone dead, surely they've got a great reason to... My property taxes just went down by half a percentage point!"
This a little like waving the red flag at the snorting bull. Not a lot of upside.
HN / Reddit votes are very easy to manipulate with State-backed funding. Best to ignore the "consensus" on online boards and make one's own decision based on available evidence.
Almost every college is subject to this law because they accept federal grants and loans for students during the admissions process.

There are only a few conservative religious schools that are exceptions. They refuse all federal funds to prevent such laws applying. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grove_City_College_v._Bell
This edict was before my time at Amazon, so I can't speak to whether there was an RPC framework in existence when this was mandated.

By the time I arrived, however, there was a cross-language RPC framework that integrated with Amazon's monitoring, request tracing, and build infrastructure (for building and releasing client versions). It was very full-featured and the de-facto system for creating a service. Most of our communication in my organization was done using this framework, and systems that violated the "only communicate over a service boundary" mandate were real problem children.

Yes it is discrimination, because it gives people of that race systematically fewer chances of having a life.

The difference is when it is systematic. It is currently systematic in most universities and schools.

>However, a better UX would mean that the initial learning curve to start with something should be low, which isn't usually with terminals.

Depends how you define better. If you do something very often a steep learning curve with long term payoff can be the better UX seen as a whole.

I use almost only VSCode mind you, but I can see the argument here. I know a bit of vim and it is practical when configuring servers via PUTTY. For bigger projects I find it very lacking.
"White people" is a vast generalization, it includes people that came in US much later than the history you are talking about. How can you even consider punishing them for something they did not do, just because they are the same race as the people that did something bad a long time ago? This is racism in the purest form.
