Thanks for the the heads-up :)

I hadn't heard about that specific board, but I'm certainly aware that students frequently collaborate in various public and private ways. It's definitely true that my company would be a prominent target, so we take various measures to try to defend against preparation like this.

For clarity, I didn't mean to imply that I had done a formal study. I'm just reporting my personal experience.

Editing to add: I'm really interested in other people's experience, too! I'm honestly curious how this person got the idea that the college grads do not know the fundamentals well. Maybe they're testing fundamentals in a way I'm not and I can learn.
Norman would refer to these constraints as "signifiers", indicators of possible affordances. It's interesting how weak voice assistants are at signifying what you can actually do with them.
Slippery slope is a sloppy parallel to make here when the gatekeepers in tech are overwhelmingly white men.

Please don't burn programs won in the Civil Rights struggle to the ground. That is making an alliance with and performing a service for white supremacy.
> As a white man, you lost me completely there.

I'm not the OP but you've lost me as well. What part of what you're saying is supported by data? Any data?

> In fact, you are reviling (immigration, foreigners) the very thing that gave rise to the west as it is now.

What gave rise to the USA were productive people creating a country for themselves and preventing other people from immigrating there. Immigration was mostly limited to other anglos.

One of the most remarkable things happened in Africa, I forget exactly where, where an unbelievably high number of 160IQ+, 170IQ+ school children were found whose parents had immigrated from Britain.

What you had in the USA were a high concentration of these outlier geniuses and other very productive people that made a new nation for themselves.

> The history of the white man is filled with taking ideas and solutions from other cultures and races they encounter and building on them, essentially the same thing you're accusing China of doing unfairly.

Is this not a ridiculous statement? The history of the "white man" is filled with producing outlier geniuses that are costly to those around them but benefit the group. These geniuses go their own way, they don't take ideas from others. You don't see these kinds of geniuses elsewhere, for reasons I forget.

> Slavery, abuse, theft and centuries of using and discarding anything and anyone we can to get ahead is a significant part of our history

I'm fairly certain that the consensus among those that have looked into slavery in the USA is that it was nothing but detrimental, slowing down progress. The slaves were well fed and made to work little. Children have been made to replicate the daily work of a slave in the USA and have done it with no issue.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to you to learn that the very people that ended slavery are the same people that treated their slaves well.

The slaves that freed themselves before slavery ended integrated surprisingly well, much better than the rest that gained their freedom later. Maybe an IQ difference between those capable of setting themselves free and those not.

> Immigrants, especially second and third generation immigrants often have stronger ties to the country the immigrated to and are more willing to fight for it and die for it as numerous studies ahve shown.

It's a recognized problem in Europe that second and third generation immigrants from the middle eastern countries are integrating worse than their parents.

I don't know man, everything you're saying just seems made up from the spot.

For perspective, here are the Harvard vs US demographics, sorted by most to least represented [1,2,3,4]:

Jewish: 14.0% vs 2.6% (5.38x)
Asian American: 25.3% vs 5.3% (4.77x)
Native Hawaiian: 0.6% vs 0.2% (3.00x)
Native American: 1.8% vs 0.7% (2.57x)
African American: 14.3% vs 12.7% (1.13x)
Hispanic or Latino: 12.2% vs 17.6% (0.69x)
non-Jewish white: 33.0% vs 58.9% (0.56x)

Then you start focusing in the diversity within those extremely large countries and groups of people. So further partition once the US becomes saturated with a more accurate representation of who lives on this planet.

50% of the world and admission at Harvard in USA are different groups, so the comparison is flawed. If you would use USA population structure, that is a relevant argument.

Unfortunately this is bigger than Harvard and the Asian American students are 'collateral damage'. Fundamentally, the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow permeates every facet of American life, education especially. You can't fix hundreds of years worth of discrimination without tipping the scales in a way that seems discriminatory to others, seems like the Judge in this case understands that.

Right but my intended point was, Texas is generally better off than the rest of the United States as far as their grid because the companies have much tighter, digital, control over the grid and don't have to worry about being tied into their neighbors which not only lets them get back up and running from 'normal' outages much quicker but they can also have a much larger impact when they do upgrades compared to the rest of the United States.
> Really, I’m starting to think that opting out of social media altogether is a bit like opting to be a hermit in today’s society

Perhaps this is what the network wants you to think? Or how your behavior has been modified by too much reliance on this technology?
I don't think it's necessarily sketchy. Any time you pick will be better for some people than others, and it's possible that earlier is more convenient for the groups who demonstrably want to attend their meetings. For example, if the people who come to your meetings are primarily stay-at-home spouses and retirees, you'd probably be inclined to pick a time when they're most comfortable.
> Even their university culture practically encourages cheating in classes to pass, so you have generations of students graduating with weak understanding of the fundamentals.

There is some truth in that, but it's quite exaggerated and sounds like a conclusion someone without deeper understanding of China AND US would make.

If someone only learned about US education system via news sources, the picture being drawn is gonna be quite bleak, sex, drugs, anti-intellectual, bribery for admission, racism, classism, etc. ...while in reality, it's mostly working pretty well, but nobody is getting views by writing about smart and hard working students doing well in school.

Not saying this is the reason NYC doesn't have pancake robots anymore, but it seems like New York in general has banned certain types of automation in order to preserve jobs.

concerning 'controlled by a non-democratic entity'

I'd say it's a step sideways.

The USD or any fiat currency is not controlled democratically or by a democratic entity either. When was the last time we heard of a vote before increasing the money supply of a nation's currency? If there is a vote, it is done by people who have not been democratically elected.

Clay works must carefully control kiln temperature, baking time, glaze production/composition, cooling time, clay consistency, room humidity, drying time etc. to prevent a clay work from going wrong. This doesn't make sculpting a science- you still must shape your object, in any shape you desire, with your hands, and express based off structure and pattern and paint and color theory or lack of colors. The end creation is still a piece of art.

When it comes to baking, you are still shaping, structuring, patterning, coloring(or not coloring) your breads.

Thin objects are really hard, and are probably the single area we have made the most software progress since the R1, especially very thin twigs and branches (it's still not perfect, fly carefully). We completely rebuilt the stereo vision algorithms to try to handle those better, basically by incorporating semantic knowledge (recognizing what is a tree, or a power line) in addition to traditional stereo vision techniques. To my knowledge, our systems are significantly more advanced than even the state of the art in academic research papers, so I would be impressed if there are any other drones that match our performance today.
Something about that seems wrong. I definitely respect the fact that someone will do the job, but isn't that basically the equivalent of a universal basic income except you're forcing the person to waste half their day doing trivial work?

A long time ago a daughter of a friend of mine received a letter from Congressional Black Caucus congratulating her on a phenomenal achievement. The letter congratulated her, Shoshana, a minority in a prestigious public school of overcoming the adversity caused by her circumstances in becoming one of 50 students in a school with the 99th percentile GPA and how the congressmen and women of the caucus were applauding her determination and would be delighted if she were to include that letter in her college application.

She did. And was admitted to one of the Ivys. The school was a bit shocked when she arrived to see a 5'1 girl dressed in a way typical of Orthodox Jews.
