If you happen to be in a visually homogenous society (i.e. rural America, or Japan), you're gonna be treated differently because you stand out.

This common occurrence for American-born children of non-white immigrants in American.

"Where are you from?" "Kansas City" "No, where are you really from?"

This being said, America's had more immigrants come in than Japan, so by collective experience, America should be more open-minded about outsiders than Japan. Which is what we see in big cities like New York.

The NetEase statement details what the punishment will be. (It is explicitly set in the future.)

I'm quite willing to believe that NetEase made that statement only after discussing the punishment with Blizzard, or hearing an official public statement from Blizzard, or some such. But (and again, I am not informed on the topic) I'd also be willing to believe otherwise.
He’s black. Did you read that part?
In order for Amazon to do that, they would either have to ship from further away (which costs more), or have a separate, Amazon-only set of products in each distribution center (which defeats the point of commingling). Also, the vast majority of people aren't going to turn it off, so how would it help?
Equal in this case might be that when a Collegiate team held up a sign supporting HK, Blizzard gave them the same 6mo ban that Blitzchung eventually settled at.

They then also banned future livestream footage from the entire Collegiate format.
It sounds like they're computing the most probable eigenstate of the system. Doing so on a classical computer requires doing a bunch of inefficient N-body quantum mechanics with randomized interaction terms. Doing so on a quantum computer is basically just making a real-live quantum measurement.

By taking an ensemble of real-live measurements, you can infer what the most probable eigenstate is, which is the "output" of the program.

There is a ferry from Alameda to SSF, so that would at least allow some people to make the trip. Otherwise you’re right, that’s a 1.5 hour commute each way from major East Bay locales.
I see it very similar to 20th century space tech. Yes, they are technically providing something unthinkable otherwise. But what is their real utility? Most if not all the biggest civil utilities like remote sensing, radio communication and navigation are quite well doable also without them. They fail to deliver the biggest dream of trans-galactic travel and there is no even roadmap to it. It does not help much our everyday ground-based transportation. So in this century we start to think: maybe this is just big waste of energy, which now will need to be spent to resolve way bigger real issues. Like to keep our current planet inhabitable.
Race probably not the issue there, at least not tonthw degree some assume it is.
I've seen the very same santiment "you will never be X" from the people which emigrated to the countries where the wast majority is of the same race.
Of course, I commented on his picture and it would be pretty hard to notice his width and not his race. I don't see why this is pertinent, though, he's not Japanese and I was commenting on the fact that he's not Japanese, not on what race he was.

In my experience most developers, while often a bit introverted or nerdy, are not particularly different from normal people, who often enjoy social interaction and making friends. I can’t agree with your assertion that real developers are as antisocial as you seem to be.
Yet, there is a lot of incentives to allow importing into your social net.

Right now, if only facebook was authorizing scrapping instead of actively fighting it, even in the absence of a clear documented API, people would be writing bridges to import your contacts just by making http requests.
Agreed, but at the same time BART needs to run more trains to Millbrae for this reason.
There are actually deeper reasons for these limits. Text typically gets broken into multiple columns when it would be over about 70 characters long, because reading long lines is uncomfortable.

Many people talk about the 80 column rule as reflecting some technical limitation due to the antiquated punch cards — but they could certainly have made wider punchcards if they wanted to.

If you spend extensive time reflecting on an injustice you can’t do anything about and that isn’t going to change that is absolutely “stewing”. I know someone who is still bitter at someone years dead and brings them up to bash them regularly. They were wronged and they’re stewing.

The article’s plenty insightful, it provides a wonderful insight into what it’s like to be the author, and secondarily, an aspect of being a foreigner in Japan that obviously really disturbs some.

There’s no need for quotation marks on home in your last paragraph. Mr. McNeil is not attempting to be Japanese. He’s professionally American in Japan. He writes for English language publications, campaigns for American cultural attitudes and despite living in Japan for 15 years and being a writer his Wikipedia page is only in English.

If he’s being treated unfairly there’s no evidence of it in the linked article.
If you’re using pretrained models then they should run ok. It’s the same reason why Tensorflow runs on phones: to run models, not necessarily to train models. DNNs take a lot of time to train.
I did wonder about his needing to sit in a crowded train at all. Maybe he’s passed middle age?
> Eg, “[Because he’s not white] he’s never going to be American. If that bugs him, why not go home? Nobody is making him stay in America.”

No, because America is not a racially homogenous society. Japan mostly is. Japan's residents are 98% japanese and most of the other 2% are other asians.
SSF is much less accessible by public transit - going from a major Caltrain station to a minor/local station is a big step down.
There's always an explanation where the answer is racism, even if it isn't the correct explanation.

Wider than the average Japanese person and crowding the seat(s) next to you? They must not sit next to him because he's black.

Audiences are "parainformed": not informed about the really important (but "boring") topics and not necessarily told lies all the time, but fed data that apparently seems relevant, but in fact is a lot of noise with a hint of signal (for the sake of advertising profits).

A solution is not following the news, but rather reading expert insights about current events (root causes of massive inmigration, drug wars and the involvement of three-lettered federal agencies, deregulation of private healthcare and higher education, etc.)
How does that affect the situation? Is it objectionable for a Japanese person to avoid a seat next to a black person but not a white person?
I think he's saying that the private keys to his crypto never leave physical hardware. There is no phone number to call if he loses them, but on the other hand what you are describing is impossible.
Uhh.. no. In fact it doesn't.

If your goal is to secure the entire internet via SSL or get people to use PGP signed emails in a mass market then the tremendous technical and cultural hurdles in place that create making a 'truly secure' implementation that gets widely accepted a near impossibility.

But if you goal is to secure the communication between trained people in a 'terrorist cell' or other small group then that is pretty easy. It's really as hard as you want it to be.

For example any decent programmer could write a program that utilizes a 'One Time Pad' of random data to encrypt communication. A program in a USB flash drive that is filled with randomly generated data and the program is all that would need to be exchanged ahead of time. The biggest challenge involved in that is making absolutely sure that the every section of the one time pad used is only used once and is destroyed afterwards. You don't need to really know anything about encryption or math or protocol details to make something like that work.

And if correctly done it'll be impossible to crack.

And we are dealing with threats and adversaries that are much more sophisticated then that. Even small terrorist groups are more often then not state-funded one way or another. Foreign threats are sophisticated enough to create their own encryption. Domestic threats and cartels are sophisticated to hire competent programmers to do work for them. Pedophiles are not idiots either. Many of them are talented technical people that will have no problem avoiding government backdoors in commercial software and hardware products.

The threats American face via encryption isn't that encryption is too strong. It's that Americans don't use it enough and don't use it properly.

I find the idea that Americans are under threat due to lack of backdoors a fallacious one. Legislating that backdoors need to put in place only increases threats.

The only thing that laws like that would accomplish is to make it illegal for Americans to be secure.

Take away legal ability to have secure software then it means that the only people who will have secure software is criminals. Criminalizing good software is never going to be productive.
The abi meaningfully binds them.
Also, the tax oddly targets Stripe and Square.

People don't talk about this very much. But it seems extremely unfair that Stripe/Square pay way more tax than Saleforce in terms of ratio to their revenues. (I don't recall the numbers. Anyone?)

I think it's even enjoyable by people who would be put off by the phrase 'alarmingly postmodern'.

It's playful and weird and meta, sure, but it's not difficult (or purely an excuse for Calvino to show off), and there is sincerity not far below the surface.
I don't understand articles that do benchmarks like infiniband or Ethernet, but set up a system where the nic is limiting the test. It would be useful to do the same thing with enough cards to saturate the memory bandwidth.
America actually is unique among countries. I could move to Japan, but I'll never be Japanese; I could also move to Denmark, but I'll never be a Dane. But I moved to America and now I am American.

The vast majority of countries don't work this way, nor would it be better for all of them to. But it's great that at least one does.
The travel times between these two locations can be 60+ minutes depending on mode and time. It is a Big Deal.

It's more complicated than that though, because:

1. he may not be in a position of being able to leave easily after this long--a random example could be a significant other who does not speak English well.

2. the attitude this comment takes (and I've been living in Seoul for the last four years so I've spent a while thinking about this[1]) is absolutely unacceptable to most people if placed in a western context. Different race? He's a guest in their country!

What is it about East Asia that makes this attitude so tempting? is a question that doesn't let go once it gets its hooks into you. The ethnic homogeneity of Japan/Korea and to a lesser extent China must be a part of it. Race and the assumed privilege (privilege to leave, etc) of being a westerner also factors in.For example, things would be murkier if the author of the article were a labourer from SE Asia. But I haven't fully worked it out yet and maybe never will.

[1] Koreans don't do the empty seat thing when the train/bus is crowded. I'll also note that I've been an enthusiastic proponent of "if you don't like it leave" at various times, depending on the situation, and am not pretending to have all the answers.
The US is pretty much the other extreme from homogenous country/society. Regardless of one's answer to your question, you are gonna need to pick a different country name in it to have any kind of comparison to Japan
Out of curiosity, would you be ok with a non-citizen Japanese person lecturing you on why Americans are bad because they don't have the exact same outlook and attitude as Japanese people?

Because that's what the author of this article is doing.
Neither does San Francisco. They just pretend they do.
I think tilting at windmills is a great way to spend precious hours or years of your life to a net negative effect on your life. It may redound to the benefit of other people later but you’ll pay the costs, not them. If that sounds like a good deal to you go for it.

I am personally a big fan of going where I’m wanted and where I feel comfortable rather than trying to change other people.
It's rude to say that to someone, but as a foreigner if you can't come to terms with the face that you ARE an outsider, leaving's your only alternative (America's pretty diverse so eventually anyone can become a local, but in many places the visual difference will always set you apart).

I've been the foreigner before and there's a big gap between not being treated like a local and being actively encouraged to leave.
I remember a short-story where a cat learns to pilot a customized glider. It has always made me wonder about the plausibility of it. Were I not allergic to cat, I would probably have built a customized controller for a roomba and see if they are interested in learning to drive it.

I really wonder how far animals can in tool usage if we were to build custom-designed ones for them.
Invisible cities was too visual for me (I have a weak visual imagination, so I can't appreciate books that rely too heavily on images), but I really liked If On A Winter's Night a Traveler, and this quote reminds me that I want to read more Calvino.

The same thing is true for anyone in the US though. They always describe themselves as being [insert grandparents’ nationality before coming to the US].
So? Is the black race so tortured that blacks must feel extra disturbed when subjected to some sort of racism wherever they are in the world?

Racism isn’t something you should always take personally. It is possible to harbor racist feelings toward a race while still making an exception for individuals you get to know on a personal basis.

When I’m in Japan, I know people will take one look at me and think I’m a filthy gaijin. Fair enough, I don’t blame them as they live in a very homogeneous country and outsiders are rare. It is the price I pay for being in their country, and I won’t try to change that, I’ll just try to do my thing and stay out of the way. I don’t want any trouble.

In the words of the late Donald Richie: "I would leave Japan if I were Japanese."

But there are endless perspectives on this issue and quite a few have their merits, despite contradicting each other.
I'd agree with it being bad for the quality of life, but eliminates is a bit of an exaggeration. It makes it more difficult, to be sure, but there's a BART station in South San Francisco and a free shuttle that runs between there and Oyster Point. For anyone coming up from the Peninsula or the South Bay, though, this might be a commuting improvement.

Of course, the big difference is that Stripe's current office is at the edge of SOMA and Mission Bay, within pretty short distance of the Embarcadero and Financial District. Their new office will be...a business park. No offense to business parks -- Bishop Ranch in San Ramon is unexpectedly lovely -- but they're rarely known for their vibrant cafés, restaurants and nightlife.
I bet I know what will really help "change the things you can". Instead of writing that article about racism for people to read about it and react, and prompt reflection on prejudice in all aspects of life -- you should just shut up and go home. Challenge nothing and no one. Do not stand up for human rights. Object vocally when others do.
I don't understand the conclusion that just because he wrote a couple of articles about it ten years apart, that he's been constantly stewing on it for that entire time. Maybe it's something that only occurs to him when he's on the train, and even then maybe only sometimes, and maybe - as a writer - he's trained to recognize these transient thoughts and tease them into articles. That's what a lot of these slice-of-life articles are, focusing on moments that would otherwise slip by and escape notice.
Kilroy Oyster Point is a pretty inaccessible area from San Francisco, you would need to take a limited train via Caltrain that's around 40 minutes to get there. I'm pretty sure this is definitely a blowback from the gross receipts tax and nothing more, even for commuters from the Peninsula would still have to get to the really strange south SF station which is also only accessible via limited express...or commute into one the worst traffic corridors in the Bay Area.
Your comments and parent's interpretation of your comments aren't necessarily in conflict with each other.
The number of representatives apportioned for each state does not dictate how they vote on any particular issue. The Senate has existed long before our current president.

The purpose of the Senate is to give all states equal suffrage in the legislature. Article 5 of the constitution states “no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.“
What are you talking about? It specifically talks about it and even provides 2 quotes with contradicting points of view:

“Alex Tourk, spokesman for sf.citi, a tech business group, said San Francisco needs to consider changes to its business taxes. The city is currently reviewing the tax system, which brings in a total of $1 billion annually. But those taxes could climb higher under the revised system.

“Unfortunately, Stripe choosing to leave town is not an anomaly,” he said. “The membership of sf.citi would prefer a more holistic strategy per the mayor’s suggestion that we work together as a collective business community to fix the gross receipts tax once and for all and establish a fair and equitable tax system that we can all rely on.”

Chris Thornberg, founder of Beacon Economics, said businesses leaving San Francisco has more to do with real estate costs and high wages than taxes.

“Taxes don’t have a lot of impact on business decisions. It’s something that has been exaggerated for years,” Thornberg said. Stripe is staying in the Bay Area, so its departure isn’t a blow to the region, he said.”
Things like that probably have multiple outside counsel involved, and various versions of Word. :)

> Older IBM machines could only read 72 columns of the 80 columns of data.

That applied to the early scientific line, the 70x series, as a side effect of their 36-bit word size — they read each card row into two words. Fortran gave them lasting influence.

(Their earliest commercial computer, the IBM 650, could read 50 columns — any 50, determined by wiring a plugboard, as on pre-computer card processing equipment.)
In the media, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If tech companies weren't removing violent content, there would be twice as many articles complaining about it. For any choice, whether it's a blanket policy or a content moderator's personal call, either action can be painted as "dystopian" or "violating human rights" or whatever else is the flavor of the day. Reading hundreds of one-sided hit pieces over the years has totally desensitized me, to the point that I start feeling extreme skepticism whenever anybody starts talking about human rights or dystopias. That's not a good thing, but I would say it's not all my fault, either.

Across prestigious universities, mini-think tanks that study "tech and society" have been popping up. As far as I can tell, they exist solely to contribute to this tidal wave of narrative. They look at what is happening, and make up a reason it's bad. I can't think of a single example where they concluded that tech did something good.
1 - Did the employees got their salary?

It seems likely that yes.

2 - Did the employees were forced to work for WeWork?

It seems likely not.

WeWork StartUp was a Success a VERY good success for its founders.

Indeed we all should take notes because most of the time, we see VCs getting the better deal and the founders/owners small scraps.

People seem to forget that RISK is a function of "capitalism," and when you join a company expecting your stock options value goes higher, and you put up with non-sense, that is a risk.

It did pay for googlers, msfters, and others.

Will your outrage be still in place if:

"Adam sold his company for 1.7B$ to <big name>" and then one year later:

"<big name> is laying off xxx employees on its <legacy fake name> division.

It may sound harsh, but there is a lot of employees that I know were bragging about WeWork going BIG and BAM. BIG BUCKS BABY

My current work is a risk too. Tomorrow my boss can say "sorry, we don't need you anymore."

Good luck for us all and that we may find wealth and happiness.

don’t really have resolution per se

A CRT doesn't have to have resolution in the sense of pixels per inch (although many of them do). However "resolution" is a more general limit on how far away two distinct points can be.

A discrete grid of pixels imposes one kind of limit. But another kind of limit is that two slightly fuzzy dots will become indistinguishable if they blur into one another sufficiently.
