I wonder why a lot of asians have this racial inferiority complex. I (being asian myself) grew up in an affluent asian dominated neighborhood of Cupertino. I had black, white and asian friends growing up and I never thought too much of racial issues. Maybe because in my schools asian americans were largely the majority. Again, I had the same experience going to school at UCLA which was largely populated mostly by asians.

However coming back to the bay area a decade later and making a lot of friends with local asians who grew up in San Francisco I am seeing huge racial inferiority complexes among asian males and females.

It's disgustingly huge. Among asian males racism manifests itself as hatred against white people for their white privilege and they talk openly about being scared of black people because they're all criminals. It's nuts. Note that this attitude mostly manifests itself among the native asian SF crowd who grew up here, not the tech migrants from outside of the city.

The other thing is racism manifests itself differently among asian females in the most pathetic display of inferiority I have ever seen in my life. The majority of single asian females in SF prefer dating white people over their own race. It's not even a superficial taste fetish either, literally a huge amount of asian females view their own race as too inferior and too weak to date. I don't know whether to blame the asian males or asian females for this level of patheticism.

I read posts from asians above and I'm astonished... I'm literally thinking what planet is this guy from? Then I realize that I'm from cupertino, I'm the guy who grew up on a different planet.

Its more a dark joke about the large number of protestant splinter groups that founded most of the colonies.

Some left the UK and the Netherlands as those countries where to liberal in terms of freedom of religion.
> These dates don’t line up with the attacks on the US military base which killed an American and heavily damaged the base plus the embassy siege which NYT reported showed tacit support from local police. It’s unique in the region where the US doesn’t respond to protests with mass shooting of protestors like the hundreds killed in Iraq this past month.

They don't have to. This attack had been in planning for a good long time before the attacks on the US military base. You say it's unique for the region; I say that it is, because it isn't in response to any action taken. They've wanted him dead for a long time, and the US base attack was a scapegoat casus belli.
I don't think you fully answered either of my questions. I appreciate that your limited personal experience is closer to what we would like to see, at least in your telling of it.

I still await your further thoughts.
Well I can only speak from the point of being the bread winner for my household which the last few years has been getting hit hard by medical crisis after medical crisis, and despite every effort at cost cutting and saving, what cushion I've built up slowly gets consumed. And I'm in software.

The Aerospace folks don't enjoy the luxury of the exaggerated salary, last I checked.

So maybe there's some bias there. However, the circles I wander tend to face the same financial struggles as well. Just speaking from experience.

I would say fiction is really worth it.

You can learn so much by reading classical fictional work (Tolstoï, Flaubert, or whatever) about humanity.

Ok, sure, but if the clients don't implement it... does it matter that some servers do?

EDIT: Well, maybe it does matter. E.g., if it creates request smuggling vulnerabilities, say, in the presence of reverse proxies that don't interpret the spec the same as the servers.
>Blacks do have lower IQ than whites on average, and that's correlated with criminality. IQ is partly hereditary

Lopmotr, you think this will go down well with an average HNer here :) ?
You have been downvoted for what is generally considered a 'fact' among people who have closely looked at IQs. I have upvoted you.

Readers, this observation is not to be conflated with racism. Two groups that separately evolved will necessarily have statistically different IQs. You could tell me that blacks have _more_ IQ than the whites and I'll listen. But if you tell me that blacks and whites have near identical IQs, I would be questioning your understanding of biology. Biology is not egalitarian.

Notes: I'm fully aware that I have used the terms black/white pretty broadly. There are various ethnic groups in each category and sometimes the variations within a category can be higher than compared to another category. While the average IQ score of 'race' A might be less than the average score of 'race' B. The IQ score of an ethnic group in A might be higher than all of Bs ethnic groups.

It increases with the amount of effort you would spend. If you value your time at $150/hr and you _would_ spend 3 hours looking for them, the tickets are worth $505 to you, even if you spent 15 minutes looking for them. Then, if someone offers to buy them at $500 that’s a bad deal because you value them more.
Man I cannot agree at all. I've personally seen some majorly bad decisions made on the backs of those fallacies.
I don't want or need my UI to pretend it's a Nordic modern art museum. Seeing all that screen space wasted on huge margins, drop shadows, and glow effects makes me want to cry.

I would rather see more of the information I frequently need, or the controls I frequently use, without having to dig through page stacks and submenus to find them.

In cases where there isn't any more commonly-used stuff to display, I'd rather have text that can be easily read without squinting/glasses/giant phone screen, and controls that can be easily operated while riding in a vehicle.
Who wants to bet that is not a numeric bug, but a certificate expiry?
1. Noise levels in workplaces (especially cafes, restaurants) will be increasingly recognized as contributing to stress and later-life hearing loss for people who work in those environments. What is considered a "safe" noise level will decrease drastically.

2. People will become more concerned about air pollution than climate change; emissions from combustion engines, brakes, and tires will be increasingly in the public eye. Office workers will become concerned about CO2 levels in their workplaces, and on their commutes. Many workplaces will install equipment to provide fresher, cleaner air.

3. Ebikes, electic scooters, and other relatively compact electric transportation quietly revolutionise commuting for people who live within 20-30km of their work.

4. Work weeks (or at least time in office) will decrease for many office workers. It will become normal for many people to only go into the office once or twice a week.

5. The combination of 1, 2, 3 and 4 above lead to increasing de-urbanization as people who can afford it seek to move to quieter places with cleaner air. Clean air becomes a major issue of inequality. Productive farmland around cities is converted to large home-office plots with lots of trees.

6. At least one climate change mitigation geoengineering idea will have a large scale proof of concept experiment conducted

7. Microplastics in the food supply / ecosystem will turn out to be not that serious of a health problem for people and most other animals (some animals will be severely affected)
I think that Thiel’s intent is to support and normalize a far right politics that will scapegoat immigrants and other minorities so (to his mind) a more mimeticaly stable oligarchic order can replace democracy. It’s why he’s also supported and been in league with other “Dark Englighment” figures and written tracts in opposition to the enfranchisement of women. It’s all little more than dressed up fascism.
>Though I imagine the prevalence is much higher in black youth, this is a general issue that goes beyond race.

It certainly does. I'm having trouble digging up primary sources I've read on this before (there's a ton of secondary by searching "Consequences of fatherless childhoods", "consequences of single-parent households" and similar on DuckDuckGo), but studies are showing that children being brought up in single-parent or "fragile" households fare worse than their counterparts brought up in two-parent, comparatively stable households.

The issue is likely significantly compounding generation after generation. It's not really a surprise that children need a stable household with good role models at the helm though, and the absence of which being damaging.
For me there is nothing like reading a good story. And good stories are timeless. On the contrary, tech, money, billionaire's thoughts... they age fast.

So lately i'm wondering, is HN worth it?
>I urge people commenting to ask their black friends for their insights.

I avoid talking matters of race as much as I can, because I don't want that person to feel that they're a "black" person in my mind or view. Because if I were a black man, I wouldn't want to define me. So I don't let that define those I contact. I strive to treat everyone the same. Most of the time, it works, you CAN train yourself to treat everyone the same. If you think "black" when you see a black person, then you need to keep working at it, like everything in life. After you're done, you'll still have some level of innate subconscious racism that comes with human nature, but the key is to not actively embrace or act on it.

That said, I work with a black guy (we're both developers). His dad was never around, he is a wanderer today and he called him a deadbeat. He said something about his dad being resentful that he turned out so well, and had nothing to do with it. My colleague attributes his success to his mom.

In his case, it sounded like his dad was absent by choice. My coworker is not a deadbeat dad, has children, an expensive home and a wife. Hard worker, as you have to be to be a successful developer. I think being born with a good mind helps, as well as a stable home even if it's just a mother. A little luck (circumstances) helps all of us.
Serious questions. What is wrong with a hypothetical scenario that our children will have to move to Antarctica and northern Russia to grow corn and grapes? I mean after all, people moved all the time. Civilizations collapsed in the past from lack of water where it used to be plentiful, and other natural disasters wiped out entire civilizations. And we are still here, living well, eating organic food, drinking clean water and watching Netflix. And we are living longer and better, and in the West we have more forests than a century ago. How do we even know that these naysayers are correct while those that blamed witches and proclaimed impending apocalypses were wrong?
The big time advantage audiobooks have over the printed word is that can listen while doing something visual but relatively mindless (e.g., driving, cleaning, yard work, etc.).

US starts 3rd World War (in a sense) by attacking Iran. This will destroy most of our economy, with possible nuclear impacts involved. Coincidentially, all this also reduces our economy and alas global greenhouse pollution more than Paris and Green Deals can do. We will finally see some hope to avoid total breakdown of life on earth, which seemed to be inevitable before. Trump will get Nobel price in climate fix.

The inference though is that the million dollar land _was_ worth that much because it was next to a (now-condemned) shopping centre, and the cheaper land was next to nothing; the new subdivision means the values have changed dramatically. Extreme example, but the point is the price paid is irrelevant if circumstances render it so

My experience is similar, though nngroup.com has some reports that look like an okay research (though unreplicated as well). NASA's color graphics pages [1] seem to be based at least partially on research, contain further references, and generally seem good to me, but they are focused primarily on accessibility (and similar to WCAG). Searching for relevant papers on CiteSeerX, Google Scholar, and so on usually yields surprisingly little.

> We know this is true, because most people can compute that it is 30. The interesting thing is how little dna is required.

I was going to say that "No, it means a computer made from DNA can make another computer from DNA that can compute the square root of 900, but I'm the father of the two year old that will, presumably at some point, be able to calculate it as well. It'll just take somewhere around 10 years(?). I guess the achievement is how quickly it can calculate it, from creation.
I think as opposed to classical statistics, except for the important subfield of statistical learning theory, machine learning relates much more to functional analysis, differential geometry/optimization over manifolds, and measure/probability theory. "AI" is whatever marketing people want to define it as.
One reason is that println! will lock stdout for you. I'm not sure what percentage that makes up.

It is indicative of the value of the land but says very little about whether you should or in what way you should choose to develop either plot. The surrounding economy, zoning and geography will have far more to say about that.

I'm trying to get started with freelance work as a college student, and I've experienced the opposite. People want project-based billing because they don't trust me, or my ability to work "as quick as an experienced programmer".

(For context, when I say starting I mean starting. I'm currently working on my second contract ever. I have no non-internship work history. My first was for $50 for what ended up being 4hrs, my current was $300 for what I expect will take at most 20hrs. Then Upwork takes 20% for making the match and providing insurance against my not delivering.)
Attorney fees are typically (but not always) one-third, when working on contingency. Then they deduct "expenses" for working on the case (court filing fees, travel expenses, and so on). The 22 women would split whatever was left.

So, roughly, 4.5MM goes to the attorneys. That leaves 8.2MM split 22 ways.

The woman will likely get somewhere around $375,000 each.

We use Stripe for charging members, and Tipalti to disburse to our private contractors.
He reasoned in terms of days needed to fix the problem, and concluded that therefore X would be cheaper. But maybe the change management in the contract made it more expensive. So even if he needed more work on it, he was still the cheaper option and/or easier instead of a change request.
Perl seems to lead the pack for interpreted langauges by a wide margin for this microbenchmark. I wonder if that's just for the narrow case of print() / hello-world.
Years ago, I worked at a large stock trading website. We deliberately used both Oracle SQL and Sybase SQL, with an interface layer. We deliberately did not use any special features from either. We ran both in production, some services on one, rest on other. We would occasionally test all services on each one. Reasons: price protection; the product or the vendor would disappear; future upgrades would break our system; sticking with 'standard' SQL features (no shiny new undebugged functions); and easier developer training.
What do you do when your sole vendor doubles or triples the price?

The infamous Lee Atwater (advisor to Reagan, Bush 1 and chairman of RNC) quote comes to mind:

> Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."

I'm not saying the people within the government are more racist than before. But the systems that the government put into place in the 60's through the 80's were specifically designed to be racist in effect without appearing racist in intention.

If you reduce funding in segregated schools, then when desegregation happens, you protest "forced busing", you're effectively keeping black kids in worse schools.

Turns out if you criminalize marijuana and declare a "War on Drugs", you can arrest a whole bunch of young black men, lock them away and give them criminal records. Then you can go on bemoaning the lack of black role models.

Or you can simply neglect to fight redlining, ensuring that it's impossible to get a house in the white neighborhoods.

Or you can institute a policy that schools whose students fail to get good test scores are penalized. I wonder what that'll do.

I could go on, but I think James Baldwin says it best: https://youtu.be/_fZQQ7o16yQ?t=150

To preemptively respond to the argument that these policies were long ago, I like that analogy Obama gave of an ocean liner:

> Sometimes the task of government is to make incremental improvements or try to steer the ocean liner two degrees north or south so that, ten years from now, suddenly we’re in a very different place than we were

Policy is about the next 50-100 years, not the next 10. If you put racist policies in to effect, people will see the effects for generations upon generations.
This doesn’t solve the general problem that binary floating point cannot exactly represent decimal fractions.

The first example

new Double('0.3').sub(new Double('0.1')).toNumber()

does the equivalent of

float f = (float)(0.3 - 0.1);

which happens to produce a ‘float32’ that prints as “0.2”, but for ‘float64’ vs ‘float128’.

I expect that adding a sufficient number of zeroes, as in

double f = (float128)0.00003 - (float128)0.00001);

(actual number of zeroes is too low here, to prevent wrapping on phone screens) will surface the problem again.
I've happen to be in that workshop room and had chosen the 2% robot, not the 15% surgeon. If I remember correctly, the point of the question was determining willingness of society to use black box models, not challenging the need for models interpretability.

Interpretability obviously doesn't hurt accuracy. But it is costly to engineer. And not always possible to make. Not always possible, because human capacity (and willingness to put in the effort) into understanding the explanation is limited.

USA is probably still ahead of the rest of the world regarding IA, thanks to Google. Google sits on a massive amount of text, video and speech data. Google is one of the biggest coordinated entity (regarding business, data, hardware and software) on Earth aimed at advancing AI. The only rival in term of budget and data is probably China with a few state-sponsored companies together (Huawei + Alibaba + Tencent).

All other countries probably have smart researchers and engineers, but no one has the data machine that Google has...

Most of what you're talking about is non-fiction "answers". Long form writing isn't particularly conducive to reading online (mostly meaning the web/HTML pages), but obviously you could do so via a PDF of a book. However, you're completely missing out on long-form fiction if you don't read "books". I'd recommend you read this recent article about binge reading [1], as it concisely captures what you're likely missing out on: the engrossing nature of a multihour in-depth read.

I now do most of my reading electronically (in my case via the Kindle iOS and Android apps, but I'm about to get a Kindle Oasis, because it's finally good enough), so don't restrict yourself to reading physical books. If you happen to have an Amazon Prime account, you can read plenty of books for free via Kindle. So you can also do this as a "no risk" experiment.
