Or underpolicing. Blacks are at much higher risk of being the victim of violent crime than whites. Even the boy in the article's brother was murdered. Lack of security means people take it into their own hands and you get violent gangs and/or a harmful honor based society.
Well, in the end it's their competitors that are hurt most when they close loopholes without warning. All chrome needs to do is hamstring ad-blockers (which they just did) and add a fingerprint that only google can use (like tying your google account to the browser for no reason...)

'Years ago, I interviewed Kweisi Mfume, then the president of the NAACP. "As between the presence of white racism and the absence of black fathers," I asked, "Which poses the bigger threat to the black community?" Without missing a beat, he said, "The absence of black fathers."' - Larry Elder
I vouched your comment which was dead, but I think it's deliberately obtuse.

I think what people are speaking to is a second involved parent from shortly after birth-- which will most likely be a father/man. A second parental figure makes a world of difference, especially when confronting poverty and an educational environment that does not provide additional support.

> It’s almost as if things we know to be true are often just noises our motor functions generate, and may in fact, upon reflection, be belief not rooted in truth.

There's a whole lot of evidence that children of single parents have significantly worse educational and psychosocial outcomes, even when controlling for household income and other confounds; even when considering whether that parent remarries/a step parent shows up. The degree of involvement of the other parent is strongly predictive of the amount of harm; that is, there's a dose-response relationship.
It's more about perspective, to avoid beating oneself up too much on the bad days. "This sucked, but we're still basically OK, just gotta learn and move on".
Of course that's true. In fact, it's obvious enough that we can be fairly sure the author knows this too.

I could just tell you why I think this article is focused as it is, but I think it will be a lot more useful if I challenge you.

So: why do you think this article is titled and focused as it is on black boys?
How about banning donations, bribes, and money in all lobbying. No money, no ads. No ads, no manipulation. At this point, it would literally require the Supreme Court to reverse its own decision just to start so I don't think it'll happen, but it's good to know there is a simple, implementable solution that would fix our problems but that we will ignore so the interests of a few can be placed ahead of the many. Hardly an unusual situation as most of our problems have similar solutions.
> "I vouched your comment which was dead, but I think it's deliberately obtuse."

If a comment is dead and you think it's unhelpful ("deliberately obtuse"), don't reward it by vouching for it. It's likely going to generate even more noise. (Note a sibling comment which is is only argumentative, not moving the discussion forward.)

If you have a point to make, make it in a separate comment.
Then why did you not bother citing a single one?
The measure covers software that could be used by sensors, drones, and satellites to automate the process of identifying targets for both military and civilian ends, Lewis said, noting it was a boon for industry, which feared a much broader crackdown on exports of AI hardware and software.

"sensors, drones, and satellites" used to target anything means that you can't even send a Ring camera to Europe.
I personally go with "The Fine Article" in my mind when I write it, although obviously all these alternatives are possible. I first encountered this initialism on slashdot back when it was still relevant, although I don't know if it was coined there.

And yeah, I believe that it derives from "RTFA" (read the fucking article) which would be what you told people who obviously commented without reading the article.

Ignore the fact if its good or bad to read books. Comments here advocating one way or the other are relative to their experience. Think why do you read slowly and why do you think reading a book is different then reading online. My relationship with reading the books completely changed after i heard naval’s podcast.

With the caveat that I may be projecting or reasoning from a biased sample, I had two thoughts:

1. I think the faults you're picking on in documentation are valid, important, and also probably more organizational/management faults than TWs.

If the people who have to pay employees tend to be willing to pay developers more than they're willing to pay writers, it seems like the best "average" outcome you can expect--even if you go looking for tech writers who know how to develop--is that you get tech writers who can't or don't want to earn more money developing (i.e., they prefer writing over developing strongly enough to turn down the extra pay, don't have the skill/experience to earn more developing, and so on).

Dev/ops tools, methods, and thinking have a lot to bring to tech writing--but I can't imagine many orgs/projects can achieve this without a collaboration between developers and tech writers, or developer-writers sufficiently remunerated for possessing both skillsets.

2. Style issues in writing are much like those in programming. Code style doesn't matter a whole lot when it's a one-developer code base, but it definitely starts to matter when there are more chefs in the kitchen. When you don't nail down what the style is in either domain, everyone follows personal preference. It can work for a while, but it tends towards chaos that requires a lot more work to clean up than it would to be consistent in the first place.

Edit: This isn't to say you aren't right, but that the style issues are a sort of maintenance issue that may seem pointless from the outside but also do need to get settled (though, ideally without extended bikeshedding...)

You don't need to invoke social narratives and consistent behaviors to justify honoring sunk costs.

Sunk costs are often a predictor of a developed position.

For example, you spend 20 years in advancing in field and then worry that you might not like it that much anymore.

If you avoid leaving the field purely because of the sunk time, you are honoring a sunk cost.

If you avoid leaving the field because your 20 years have made you good enough at it that your pay is good and your job stability is assured... and meanwhile you would have a hard time getting hired in a new preferred field or keeping a job there because your expected pay would be unaligned with your experience there (see also: ageism)... then that is just playing the hand you are currently holding.

Usually your current position isn't completely clear. You don't know precisely to what degree 20 years experience have made you better suited to your past field than another.

Under the reasonable assumption that your past costs weren't entirely wasted and aren't perfectly fungible to different moves it is reasonable to use your past costs as a predictor of your current position. 20 year experience in a field is probably worth something, and probably worth a lot more than 5 years.
The nuclear family became American dogma after WW2, and it most benefits corporations and a growth economy. Prior to this modern age most people didn't have the resources to move willy-nilly. Even during the Great Migration, people moved in large groups from the Old World to the New, landing in ethnic neighborhoods. Whole villages uprooted. While there are benefits, having no support net (in the USA), has huge downsides. If anything happens to either parent, it's extremely difficult to continue. Having abruptly become a parent last April has been eye-opening. Like bomb blast so.
It's a responsibility to prepare your children as best you can to stand on their own in a competitive world.

It's basically just one degree separated from the competition.
Is there anything that people outside of the US should download now in order to get access to software?
It's nice in that it enables higher performance than previous "looks like a standard web server" due to QUIC but other than that there isn't too much to say. It's just a straw man proposal so the implementation details aren't there to talk about and it's not a new idea outside of binding to QUIC as the primary transport.
I actually have a subspecialty in targeting narrow business verticals, and yeah, the algorithm is better 95% of the time.

“Everyone I know is stuck on some book. I’m sure you’re stuck on some book right now. It’s page 332, you can’t go on any further but you know you should finish the book, so what do you do? You give up reading books for a while. That for me was a tragedy, because I grew up on books, and then I switched to blogs and then I switched to Twitter and Facebook, and then I realized I wasn’t really learning anything, I was just taking little dopamine snacks all day long.”

My suggestion would be not limit yourself to Windows, but I would recommend not just Windows. Linux dominates on the server side, and ultimately you'll need deploy/debug apps running on the server and/or in containers. And in nearly every dev job I've had, development was done on a Mac. My current company is my first dev job where I was offered a choice between Mac or PC.

For the record, I started learning on Windows, and for learning on it was fine. The thing that ultimately made me switch was all of my friends used Macs, and they couldn't help me with Windows specific issues.
Official toolkit at the time was only immediate mode, calling all gui logic every frame, so, no. But even with the unity UI, building atlases on the fly isn't something that you can do out of the box.
That's exactly it. Thank you!
Did those Great writers learn writing in the womb? Which language are they good at writing in and how did they learn that?
I think you're conflating what the paper author calls "binding" and "betting" -- "binding-type" decisions (like the one in the concert example) seem to be candidates for honoring sunken costs. Betting, on the other hand, does not.

> to report Jane and act in the society's interest, or not report Jane and act in her interest.

Why is it in society's interest (or rather someone's twisted representation of society) that Jane be reported? Has she killed/harmed anyone or did any damage?

> If she's a teacher, her students parents may not want a porn actor to teach their children

And some people (still) don't want to interact people of certain ethnicity, religion, disability, etc. Thankfully we have realised the stupidity of this and have laws to deal with it.

Also, if she's working, shouldn't she be judged by her performance at work, and not what happens outside?

> Her parents may be traditionalists

So what? How does this give them the right to know what's going on, and why do you consider it to be someone's moral duty to disclose it?

> So why shouldn't the person email Jane's friends and parents and tell them that she's lying to them?

Because she's lying to harm anyone or gain anything from it; nobody is getting hurt by the lie. She's "lying" because society still attaches some stupid stigma around pornography and she doesn't want the fallout on her career/relationships when people like you catch wind of this.
I believe the raised the prices but then cut the hours below threshold to provide health insurance.
Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with that scenario.

Leave aside any ticket refunds or rescheduling--and assume you got the tickets for free but were offered the $500 from a scalper. If you really don't have any interest in staying I think most people would shrug and think "easy come, easy go" whether or not they theoretically had an option to turn the tickets into cash.
> Browser fingerprinting is a hack, and exploits clear loopholes in browser privacy models.

> I wouldn't rely on it because it's committing to an ongoing arms race against the browsers.

It doesn't seem to me that browsers are trying to win at all. For example, one of the greatest discriminators - font list - has been known about since people were talking about browser fingerprinting.

The fix would be pretty easy too: in incognito mode (or when toggled by the user), only support 2 fonts: 1 serif and 1 san-serif that ship with the browser on all platforms.

I don't think any of the browsers want to do that.

There are a number of other longstanding fingerprinting issues that are similarly easy to fix.
Congratulations on finding a solution that works for you!

> I'm also convinced I'm on spectrum but therapist didn't really want to go there or test for it. Not sure if that would have changed anything.

I really don't like this "you don't need to know what exactly is your problem" attitude, that often comes from psychologists. But that would be a long rant. Here are some hypothetical benefits from knowing that you have a specific diagnosis X, whether autism or anything else:

- maybe you could apply for disability benefits (probably not, but at least you would know what exactly to ask);

- you could find a support group for people with X;

- you could exchange information (in the support group or online) about what helps or what hurts people with the same problem;

- you could read scientific research or popular books, ask an expert by e-mail, etc.;

- you could find out the chance that your kids get X, how to find out whether that is the case, and how to help them.
People here are really taking offense to the characterization of 18 y/o this way since the first thought is to see where they fit in this model of reality. But the author isn't speaking about individuals but aggregates; on the average, the 18 y/o American kid is most likely unsure about what they want to do in their lives, and are thrust into an extremely competitive zero-sum environment of college. All the author is saying is that this isn't representative of the real world, but people that go through this trauma might continue to think this way into adulthood, leading to a toxic culture and paradigm of the world.
That progress bar doesn't even make sense. For "cash available"? What kind of progress bar makes sense for that? Having available cash in some shitty company's account is not a goal you want to reach.

It is unfortunate that people focus on such superficial aspects of design, especially in UI design. When there's some trend showing up, you'll see countless people talking bullshit about aesthetics and how pleasing things look, and people get so wrapped up in it that they ignore any sense of usability.

This is a good point and it was going to make it in my original post!

I was going to say that the $1,000,000 price (as opposed to $100,000) tag on a piece of land will tend to be indicative of the value of the piece of land, assuming you weren't in a drunken stupor when you paid a million bucks for it. In other words, most decisions in life aren't bets made in a vacuum.
How can I take an interview while at a job that tries to prevent interviewing?
Whenever I see this advice, or similar, I'm reminded of one of the "rules" I encountered in the style guide for an old MUD.

Roughly: Don't write item/place/npc descriptions that tell the player ("you") anything they should think or feel.

Easier said than done, though.
I know the guidelines well, nevertheless, thank you. But I’m truly curious why such a straightforward comment by kerkeslager would get downvoted, it would honestly satisfy my intellectual curiosity. It also raises the issue with reading speed and its connotations. Examples: Is reading faster better? It depends on the material; Is speed reading as the extreme form of it of any value or just a gimmick? A gimmick of no value to me.
This guy sounds great, and I hope that he is allowed to continue doing his great work. The fact that he has the position that he has, speaks volumes for the school district. I don't think my (affluent, painfully white suburban) school district has the same.

I feel that mentorship isn't just restricted to someone officially appointed to the position. It's pretty much anyone that has a weighted relationship to anyone (not just kids). That includes spouses, parents, relatives, older siblings, peers, teachers, cops, insurance adjustors, union shop stewards, DMV clerks, and, of course, bosses.

For example, corporate culture comes from the top. It almost doesn't matter what the corporate values statement says. I believe that the behavior of the C-suite is the single biggest driver of corporate culture.

I've learned that I need to model the values I'd like others to exhibit. It's not a guarantee that they will, but it improves the odds.
I don't think it's deliberate. But we have a long history of harm being done by well-meaning efforts. It's easy for efforts to help to end up just creating more dependency and further collapsing the social order, and it's difficult to study the effects of charity.

My charity in this area is Big Brothers Big Sisters (which is also mentorship based), because they have actual well-designed studies that show the intervention is very effective. The study design compared kids who were stuck on the waitlist for BBBS to those who they allowed to shortcut the line, and showed much better outcomes than the latter.
Perhaps it's a reference to a standard for labeling electronic components. For instance a resistor with 3300 Ohms will be labeled "3k3" on a diagram. It eliminates the decimal point, which might be hard to read or even fall off if it's printed on a tiny component.

If only genetic attributes ended there. Genetic attributes cause people to be treated differently by society.
It is hard for the Left and social justice advocates to admit this simple truth because it shifts the blame to black mothers and fathers (where some blame certainly belongs) for many of the problems in the black community.

There is a compulsion among the political Left in the West for shifting blame to institutions and forces in society rather than individuals, where it often belongs. Shifting blame to outside forces often feels good as it absolves the individual, but this distracts us from real solutions that can bring about real change.
This is how I was taught about sunk costs at business school. Which schools are largely misunderstanding it I wonder? Also, is this really the most important decision making rule? Even so - maybe it isn't so good, or practical, to ignore sunk costs. What if a business partner squandered your investment? Not to worry - just a sunk cost. Spent all those hours looking for the Springsteen tickets - maybe your time was more valuable than that $500 offer.
Exactly. For good or bad, reading a book is essentially an act of conversation-at-a-distance with the author. Reading is very much an active activity, as opposed to, say, watching television. The TV shows you all there is to the story in pictures; almost no imagination required. A book, meanwhile, requires you and the author to work together to build up whatever structures they're trying to create in your brain. It's really fascinating from a meta/philosophical sense.

So a great book is like a great conversationalist; it can build a vibrant world of rich complexity, whether fiction or non-fiction. I would list Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid as one of these. Read that book and then imagine the author trying to present its complexities in a series of blog posts.

But a bad book is as bad as a bad conversationalist. Reading a bad fiction book will make you feel like you're watching campy soaps, or trying to listen to an incoherent storyteller; reading a bad non-fiction book will either make you wish you had just read an article on the topic, or worse, will make you feel manipulated or lied to.
Even if they own the planes outright, the interest cost of the airplanes remains the same (because the money tied up in the airplane could be otherwise put to use earning interest).

For example, conventional wisdom is that owning your own home outright is a Good Thing. But if mortgage interest rates are low, taking out a mortgage and investing in something that pays more than that interest rate is a Better Thing.
Thank you again for this direction!

I just finished a POC that generates 90% of the AWS services I use per client/project/application.

There are many, many reasons why this is the case; but they were almost all a product of racist social engineering in the 20th century. And when I say racist, I mean people whose main argument was the genetic inferiority of black people. Progressives consistently caved to their demands under threat of violence.

Showing up is hard to do when housing policy explicitly forbids black people from living within a 2 hour commute of the few places that would hire them. It's hard to do when you have to work 2 jobs because the few neighborhoods you are allowed to live in are expensive. It's hard to do when under constant police harassment.

The erosion of the family fabric of black communities in America was malicious, intentional, and far more recent than many are willing to believe (which is why this comment will probably be downvoted to hell). And there's no great conspiracy about it because it was done in the open.
