I see this argument brought up every time there's a discussion about automation and jobs, but this a different type of revolution.
Ah yes, sorry. I misunderstood who I should really be responding to :-)
How is the AI revolution different from the industrial revolution(s)?

A farmer in 1700 would have seen the 1880 machine and said « We’ll all lose our jobs »... and he’d be right. Also « and money will be centralized in the hands of the factory owner ». He’d be right too. « We’ll never be able to make everyone learn ti read and work in a desk job ». Right again. We just raised everyone’s education, and also raised everyone’s IQ in levels that would seem impossible to a 1700 farmer. We’ve also have the underside: poverty for those who can’t get office jobs and socialism to try level the field.

Similarly it seems to us like we’ll all lose our jobs to AI, wealth will be concentrated by 99% more and we’ll never be clever enough to make each of us an AI scientist. That’s what it seems today. You can call to regulate but it’s hard to know in which direction. After all, we had to spend 2 centuries of wars and famines till we figured a merely stable system, and even today, we wouldn’t stand upright if we didn’t rely on Chinese workers being poor. So all the regulation in the world didn’t suppress any problem, we just put it out of sight.

I see no difference between the scale of the AI revolution and the scale of the industrial revolution.

Arabs, Armenians, North Africans, and Persians are all considered white in the US.
Jews were also historically discriminated against, e.g. "Dean Milton Winternitz's instructions were remarkably precise: 'Never admit more than five Jews, take only two Italian Catholics, and take no blacks at all.'" (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_quota#United_States)

Also related: California Alien Land Law of 1913 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Alien_Land_Law_of_1...), targeting mostly Asians (Japanase, Chinese, and Koreans). SCOTUS reaffirmed this law in 1923, it was finally invalidated in 1952.
The author means brand to mean authoritative identity holder. It means an institution that 1) doesnt allow two people to use the same name and 2) at a very basic level will reactivity correct fraud

It is being used similar to the way we think of banks, as a provider of trust, and a custodian. Now that I think about it, custodian is a much better word than institution or brand.
It's funny to think about but the reality is that it's better than a lot of other options.

- The page has automatic history & merge conflict resolution
- There's built-in role-based security to control both visibility and actions (read-only vs. read-write)
- You can work on a draft and then "deploy" by publishing your changes
- You can respond to hooks/notifications when the page is updated

Considering that the alternative is either editing a text file on disk or teaching business users to use git, a Confluence page is not so bad.
Others here have pointed out, quite correctly, that this ruling follows a long string of precedents. But with the new conservative majority on the Supreme Court, I wouldn't be surprised if we see affirmative action knocked down in the next few years.

Fisher v UT (2016) gave us a look at where the justices stand, and the three most conservative justices at the time (Roberts, Alito, Thomas) wanted to strike down UT's affirmative action policy. If the new conservatives (Gorsuch and Kavanaugh) join them, we could have a new majority that believes affirmative action at a public college is always unconstitutional.
It uses kafka as an operational primitive. Kafka is somewhat complicated but it also solves real problems. I can see a fast, distributed db built on top of kafka.
> I exhausted the entropy on the Linux VM

How is that supposed to work? Entropy does not get exhausted.
I mean we already have way better automation for pizza making and at huge scale and efficiency -- that's what frozen pizzas are with few exceptions. And some of these are great; safeway brand rising crust pizza is pretty damn good and can be had for as little as $3 a pie.

The machine in the video kind of sucks. Slow, one pizza at a time, poor control of amount and placement of toppings, poor consistency, lots of waste with toppings flying off everywhere.

I don't think machines are going to be putting pizza places out of business. The margins are already quite high, and paying one guy to sling pies at a restaurant and get high quality product isn't a huge expense.

Maybe a place like little Caesars would use this tech but local pizza joints? nah

The author's name looked familiar - then I found that this year he published a book titled _Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control_. Looking forward to reading that soon, and will search for your recommendation too.
You chose to ignore both the fact that the rest of the arguments are perfectly valid and that the clarification I made right below still stands. The aggressive tone you chose to use is both unnecessary and unwelcome.

Moonfish (https://moonfish.com) | San Francisco, CA | Full-time, Onsite Preferred, but Open to Remote

Moonfish is a big data for consumer travel company, aiming to help people plan and book travel more easily and cheaply (starting with flights). While other travel products start by asking departure/return dates and exact airports, we instead help people at the very beginning of their trip planning process - when they typically only know a broad sense of where, when, and why they want to go. Some folks may just want a weekend trip to visit family, while others want to visit Japan but aren’t yet sure when or how long to go. Moonfish works by constantly ingesting and understanding flight prices and fluctuations (through a set of data partnerships with various travel companies), and then matching our users to the best flights we find on a daily basis (typically saving them 40-90% off typical prices).

We’re backed by top-tier investors including general partners from Accel, Wndrco, founder of ITA/Google flight, founder of Opendoor, and execs from Airbnb, Facebook, and Twitter.

RDRAND might not be the only place where an attacker can screw me over, but it's a much easier exploit than many others, and one that is by design impossible to detect.

It would probably not be possible to get away with an XOR instruction that doesn't behave as advertised. There is simply no way to determine if RDRAND is behaving as advertised or not.

> you have to trust someone

Well, yes. Intel specifically has to my mind demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are not be trusted (that "entire x86 core running minix --- with security holes" thing you just mentioned, thought it was ARM though). So if the only difference is moving my root of trust from Intel to a random, unknown party that is not Intel, that is already something of an improvement.
Well, there is a growing movement of conservatives that are unimpressed with this and with the general politics of universities, and who are becoming anti-college (and the booming cost of the said colleges provides additional arguments). I think it is a bit dangerous, but in essence it joins your argument.

I personally think that the education aspect of colleges is massively overrated, that the quality of the university pretty much all comes from the quality of its recruitment (its students). The teaching is typically very average (researchers aren't necessarily good professors). But if the game is that this badge is required to land a high paying job, a kid today doesn't really have a choice. It's kind of a prisonner dilemna.

We could have a system where the name of the university wouldn't matter that much. That's pretty much how Germany works if I understand correctly.
As a person living in Africa, this is probably because Africans are willing to work much much harder than American blacks. Also the culture is less toxic.
No, I'm saying there's a difference between people saying "there's too many Asians in tech" and "there's too many white males in tech".
Oh man I'm sure glad that poor youth showed restraint and chose bear mace instead of the glock!

Sounds like you just made a great reason for concealed carry.
Don't forget the food factories (Elios, Tombstone etc) turn out many thousands of pizzas an hour.

This is distributed, just-in-time, made to order manufacturing.
I had the same reaction. "self-driving cars will eventually be everywhere" is true, but that "eventually" is a long time away.
Plausible but to turn this assertion into an actual argument there'd need to be a causal statistical analysis. I'd be interested in receiving a pointer to the relevant literature.
I was skeptical in the beginning that "bullets can still come down with lethal force if a warning shot is fired into the air" but I guess you are correct. Mythbusters were testing this in one episode and [1]"Because of this potentiality, firing a gun into the air is illegal in most states, and even in the states that it is legal, it is not recommended by the police. Also the MythBusters were able to identify two people who had been injured by falling bullets, one of them fatally injured"

Now all someone from a wealthy family needs to do to justify their admission to elite institutions is to find some great great grandparent who plausibly suffered a systemic injustice.

Such as being 1/1024 Native American, that technique is known to work at Harvard
OpenBSD doesn't have a magic fix for availability on readonly media, right? You can use jitter entropy, and/or RDRAND (if available), but otherwise availability is a problem.
The last one is not an announcement of the FDA or a conclusion of the FDA. It's the brochure of a vaccine made by the manufacter. The table 2 to table 9 have the confirmed side effects. The part about autism is in a list of unreliable reports of symptoms:

> Adverse events reported during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, autism, convulsion/grand mal convulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea. Events were included in this list because of the seriousness or frequency of reporting. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequencies or to establish a causal relationship to components of Tripedia vaccine.2
This only applies to the "least elite" UC schools (Merced and Riverside, or perhaps just Merced at this point).
> Or are SF Rates inflated because of market dynamics in the region?

SF is very expensive. Where I live, my salary provides an extremely comfortable standard of living (I'm in the top 5% income bracket overall here). If I made the same amount in SF, I'd be hard-pressed to afford a small apartment.
They immigrated to a country built on the free labor of blacks correct? Once here they were given preferential treatment in terms of unionization and local government correct? The narrative that later immigrants didn't benefit from or engage in Jim Crow is kind of ludicrous.
Edit: Also, don't forget about local regulations wherever you fly. You are still legally the pilot, even if the drone's software can make that easier.
Professional sports have well-defined skills and roles to compete for. Diversity of backgrounds/perspectives/ideas is not as valuable in athletes as it is in an academic community.
A culturally and context dependent grouping of people based on ancestry and geographic origin.
I don't understand why do you even have to declare a race during admission? Does it happen in all US universities?
I wanted to go to Harvard, and didn't get in, so I went to a slightly less prestigious school instead. I had perfect test scores and grades so I potentially could have been part of this lawsuit, and I used to be super bothered by affirmative action.

But now I don't really care. Even if you don't get into your favorite top school, if you're actually a strong applicant you're likely to get into at least one, or if not, somewhere like Berkeley. Not getting into the tippy-top schools only hurts you if you want to do high octane finance (which these days is less attractive than tech IMO), and maybe puts you slightly behind where you could have been regarding internships or where you land your first job/grad school.

I felt like I had "caught up" to where I would have likely been if I had got into Harvard by the time I hit 23. I had to work a bit harder and smarter than if more opportunities were handed to me on a silver platter, since I went to a slightly worse school, but it wasn't a big deal. Meanwhile there are probably people who got into Harvard for which it was actually a completely make-or-break, life-changing event in their lives. Arguably, they deserved, and certainly needed it, more than someone like me.

tl;dr - 57% of Schwab's revenue comes from paying below-market-rate interest on customer cash and investing it in low-risk bonds and other instruments. Encouraging customers to trade means that accounts have more cash on hand to collect net interest payments on.

This article is over 15 years old, are the statistics it cites still accurate?
Of course it is - the action is to stop discrimination of any kind. And yes, yes it has been effective. Hate crimes have dropped off precipitously and minority unemployment is at an all time low. Continuing to play this reverse-discrimination game will foment resentment, especially in the group that is "allowed to be discriminated against" according to the political flavor of the times (particularly the ones that aren't winning in society) thus creating the monster that you sought to destroy.
Don't forget the most important step.

"Think of the acronym CSV. Don't look up the definition of the format, just meditate on the idea of the format for a bit. Then write your data in the format you have just imagined is CSV, making whatever choices you feel personally best or most elegant regarding character escapes. Pass this file on to your downstream readers, assuring them it is a CSV file, without elaborating on how you have redefined that."
Or researchers who had near misses are at institutions (or moved to institutions) that have sufficient internal resources to get early career researchers bridge funding to keep them productive during their funding lull.

I think there are so many ways for people to get lost in the current finding environment, that would be extremely difficult to be able to make any findings to how people performed. The main exception I see is the attrition rate. This is the measure they reported that I have the most confidence in.

As was said elsewhere, everything else just smalls of a survivorship bias.
This only makes sense if you're looking at it as a binary thing: qualified vs not-qualified.

But the reality is that it's more of a spectrum, and in general universities usually want to take the most qualified people they can, just like companies want to get the most qualified job applicants.
