I don't see why academic performance, beyond an institution's decided-upon base threshold, should be the sole or even dominant admissions factor. Especially at a liberals arts college like Harvard.

Of course it's constitutional, Harvard is a private organization and basically none of the constitution applies to them. The question was whether it violates federal law - specifically Title VI.

The confusing part is that Title VI prohibits actions by private entities receiving government funding that would violate the constitution, were they carried out by a state entity. The opinion uses "constitutional" as a short-hand for "is in compliance with Title VI, which means it would be fine for a public college to do it as well under the constitution".

>For example, both the Confederacy and Apartheid South Africa, two regimes obsessed with racial classification, never even considered that Jews might not be white.

Not true about South Africa:

"Shortly after the Union of South Africa received dominion status in 1910, the new Boer rulers proposed to re-classify the Jews as "coloured" because they originally came from the Middle East, and hence were not really European. The Jews of South Africa fought tooth and nail to retain their privileged status as "Whites""

Proper version-controlled DNS that is usable by non-developers.

Existing solutions like DnsControl and OctoDNS are great for development/devops teams who are familiar with Git, CI/CD, editing files in-line with a specific syntax and creating a merge request.

However, these can often be foreign concepts to general sysadmins or Windows technicians.

What'd be great would be to have a nice web frontend that implements version control with Git, and uses DnsControl or OctoDNS as the DNS-editing backend, but completely abstracts this complexity away from the users.

A comparable problem would be that non-developers may find Git on the command-line challenging, but the GitHub/GitLab web GUIs make it easy. I want to be able to say: Non-developers find DnsControl and OctoDNS challenging, but [x open-source solution that doesn't exist yet] makes it easy.
I think that's missing the point because the question is whether the NC student would do well at MIT, not whether the result of the program is better.

Yes, lack of herd immunity causing an outbreak certainly does meet the "clear and present danger".

- Was the first software engineer/data engineer at a successful wearables startup that was acquired and ended up evaluated at over a billion dollars.

- Developed timeseries algorithms for classification projects that is key to the companies long term success.

- In 2010 I worked as the first machine learning specialist. The project succeeded and was central to the companies success. By 2012 it was labeled the fastest growing tech company of the year.

- Oh, and I've worked on the proxy software almost every large ISP uses to transfer http and tls traffic.

> On August 3, 46 people were shot in El Paso, Texas.
> That same weekend, 51 people were shot in Chicago, Illinois.

One is not like the other.

The El Paso shooting was the result of one person, armed with semi-assault weapon, going into a Walmart and killing more than 20 people within a couple minutes.

The Chicago shootings resulted in seven deaths but were spread out among multiple cases and days.

Both are tragic obviously.

But the El Paso got wall-to-wall coverage because, in essence, it was a domestic terrorist attack.
The US had very little to do with democratization in South Korea and were perfectly happy to prop up authoritarian regimes for 30 years before mass protests finally led to free elections. The Korean War was fought to stop communism, not spread democracy.
No, you can. Owning a gun for self defense is an individual decision, so individual responsibility must be considered.

You can’t say that the Americans who want guns for self defense are better off without them because statistically, across the population, they increase danger.
Emissions can be expanded to Emissions = (Emissions per capita) * Population

Over the last 200 years the population has went up by a factor of 8. It's hard to nail down exactly what factor emissions/capita has went up since the number used to be so insignificant but you can compare countries right now and see the US has more than 10x emissions/capita than India and higher overall emissions output which is the opposite of what you'd expect if population was the problem.

We could cut population by 99% and say "no more problem" but that's an indirect fix to the main cause: increase in emissions/capita.
> It is pretty hard in general to prove that calculating things takes at least O(n) time

It's much simpler depending on the answer to the first question, right?

It's been a while since I've touched big-O, but I'm pretty sure that if the center column is periodic (period of P cells), then it follows that you just have to compute the P cells and then index into them, which makes it O(1).

Jack Ma was an English teacher and does not even know how to use keyboards. You expect him to know what Machine Learning algorithms do?
What a mess. The problem here is systemd and/or things like GNOME wanting high quality entropy too soon, often not actually even needing it. Systemd shouldn't need high-quality entropy for itself, and most services it starts shouldn't need any either, though eventually some service is bound to need it (e.g., for TLS), but each service should make its own decisions about early-in-boot entropy. Then instead of a deadly embrace between the kernel and systemd leading to not making progress in boot you'd have some services not quite operational right away -- still a big problem, but a lesser one.

Still, if you're booting a system that will be doing one thing, and that one thing needs entropy, then you have a problem. And the only practical solution then is to accept using things like RDRAND and a previous shutdown's saved seed to seed the system's SRNG, then add better entropy slowly as you can get it.

EDIT: I agree with tytso: if you trust the CPU enough to run on it, then you should trust its RDRAND or equivalent (if it has it).

Given the recent data on racial admission percentages [1], it appears that out of all the demographics non-elite non-legacy whites face the hardest time getting into Harvard, due to half of the already below societally-proportionate spots being reserved for legacy admissions.

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21130080
"Race-Conscious Admissions" obviously implies that a candidates race influences the criteria they must meet for admission to the university. So Harvard is obviously trying to balance the racial demographics of their students according to some ratio.

What I really want to know is what ratio they are balancing towards and why that particular ratio is better than any other.

I could pick any arbitrary ratio. How about a ratio that matches the modern demographics of Cambridge? Or Massachusetts? Or the United States? Or North America? Or all of Earth? Or the demographics of the US in 1636 when Harvard was established? Or the demographics some designer thinks looks good in pictures? Or the demographics of the wealthiest 5% of US citizens? Or the demographics of the poorest 5%? So on and so on.

What is the incentive? Is it political? Is it just a ratio that Harvard admins think will keep them safe from political criticism? That clearly didn't work. Are they getting a kickback somehow? Is it a personal agenda to promote education in places the admins agree lacks it? Is it simple bigotry?

I doubt the answers would change my mind, but I'm still very interested.
>First, in many (most) states of the United States, you can indeed purchase a fully automatic weapon..

This is being dishonest. Since the registry was closed in '86 there have been no additional automatic weapons added to circulation (for civilian owners) so prices start around $10k. They are basically unobtainable for people who don't have $10k to drop on a hobby and don't want to commit a felony with a coat hanger.

Asians were discriminated against, quite heavily, in america during the 19th and early 20th century. Doesn't seem to be affecting them . . .
Except good chunks did go off and die because they couldn't adapt, or because they were easy to exploit. (E.g. child workers). Or lived in subpar housing due to urbanization, which made perfect breeding grounds for typhoid, cholera and assorted fun.

You can't just handwave those changes away by saying "ultimately, they found other jobs". They didn't. There were entire generations that suffered. At some point there was an equilibrium, but it was far from instant, and "advanced" work doesn't help the person displaced.
