No. But it will certainly reduce financial burden and management from the point of view of government. So I hope governments join the platform as it will help them make better plans for education sector.
Well, it's also almost impossible to buy/sell a new small personal propeller-driven plane, so one needs to buy used, then retrofit. But you're damn right: if you've got a de Havilland Canada Beaver, you could rebuild the engine 60 miles north of the arctic circle, if you needed to, in a small airplane hanger. But the damn thing hasn't been produced in ~50 years.
> Large meta-analyses certainly always find correlation

No legitimate study has actually shown that such correlations are caused by genetic factors. However, numerous studies have shown that social factors (i.e. not having access to good schools, not having access to decent healthcare, etc, which statistically and historically correspond with racial divisions) play a major role.

How do you open new, specific, container tabs with a keystroke then ?

As far as I can tell, the only way to open a specific container tab is to mousey-mouse-mouse to:

File > New Container Tab > Blah

Of course that use-case should be preserved, but it's woefully inefficient ... if you have a profile you do a lot of things under, you'd create a window and then (keystroke) (CMD)-t to get a new tab ...
Your argument is that people do not teach Race in the same way anymore. I think that your implication is that the previous way of teaching Race was wrong -- however, this very article is making the point that political activism is changing the way that people teach, and politics has certainly affected how we teach Race -- the most politically-charged topic of them all!

So when you say "you are living in the past century", that could be a compliment -- it could say that the author is not being censored or brainwashed by a political orthodoxy.

If you actually want to improve his understanding of Race, I'd suggest providing him with some data that contradicts his statements, rather than just dismissing him as old-fashioned. Because on the other side of that, it implies that you could just be getting lost in a fashion.
I didn't downvote anyone but I was really tempted by the preemptive whining about inevitable downvotes. That's really bad commenting practice.

He initially got fired because (almost) 600 academics signed an open letter casting doubt on his work, on top of 800 students [0].

Also, I don't really think that "read his work for yourself" is a valid argument. For one, you're talking hours, if not days or weeks of research, which isn't reasonable. And secondly, unless the person you're responding to knows sociology well, they're probably not going to be a good judge of his work.

US banks are simply not suitable for remote problem solving.
I once have run US company remotely, which was completely blocked for three weeks after one typo in outgoing transfer.
Never remotely again.

I try to tell you guys about multi-million dollar opportunities to save lives available for the next 10 days and I can't keep it on the front page, even with dang's help (1).

I agree that there's more to it than growing up comfortably well off. Among other factors there's the mindset; I grew up in a professional family with deeply working class roots, and was raised with the idea that the way to get ahead in life is to get a good education so you can get a good job. The prospect of owning a company or being an employer rather than an employee was never even acknowledged. It took me a long time to break out of this mindset despite always having a general feeling that owning a company was the only real way to get ahead.
Depends on what the union is doing.

A healthy severance package is good for employment stability. Preventing jobs from ever going away hurts everyone.
Transferring large amounts of money quickly.
The fees can be very high, and you may very well consider an alternative as a result.
I'm mixed on this. I grew up with games, similar age as you. I haven't completely stopped but I'm down to a 2-3 games a year. Why? Because they are all the same damn game!!! FPS # 12446, 2D side scroller # 692134, Yet another twin stick shooter, Yet another shmups, Yet another Metroidvania, etc... They aren't changing enough to hold my interest.

Even games that seem "new" don't feel new. I played "Baba is You". Got maybe 50 levels in. It did have new ideas but at its core it felt like I was playing Adventures of Lolo NES from the mid 80s.

VR has added "presence" and being in new places feels novel as well as using hands instead of joypads but there's so few good well made titles and I'm sure that novelty will wear off as well.

I've tried to compare this to movies and TV. I'm not tired of movies and TV. I think the biggest difference is games are about the game, movies and TV are about the story. Games can have good stories but the majority are pretty crap and generally the more story the less game. I don't generally play for the story.
Thank you sincerely for the kind words and for understanding the toughness of getting in front of the camera as an introvert. The criticism on top of that is TOUGH to take, but in moderation it helps long-term. With this HN thread, I told myself I'll meditate on critical advice, consider action items to take in order to improve, and then move forward letting the more personal destructive (as you say) criticism fade from memory. That last part is easier said than done, but that's life.
Without evolution there would not be the necessary brain power to ask this smart question, to begin with.

Evolution is a gradient-free, population based algorithm that optimises the survival of genes. This is slow learning. On the other hand we have brains and senses - that is fast adaptation. Both have the same purpose - to support life and by necessity, self replication.

I think it's a good rule of thumb - where there is consciousness there must be self replication. That would eliminate theories such as panpsychism and give consciousness an intrinsic purpose.
> Sounds like jaywalking is either very rare (contrary to the author's opinion), or tickets for jaywalking are very rare.

The latter. I believe the photos are meant as evidence that jaywalking is common.

> Let me go out on a limb and guess that out of 316 tickets about 314 where given to intoxicated males too.

Okay, you're on the limb. The actual data, at https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/01/08/nypd-targets-blacks-a... , says that 15 of the people were female a 2 were "unknown".

Looks like the limb broke. And that's not even explaining why 27 of those ticketed were <18 - is underage drinking really that common in NYC?

Also, your interpretation doesn't explain the disparity across areas. Manhattan has the most pedestrians but fewest jaywalking tickets.

Quoting the streetsblog link "Some precincts which formerly issued a large amount of such summonses have abandoned the practice. For example, the 94th Precinct in Brooklyn issued 30 summonses in 2015, but zero in 2019."

That more in line with jaywalking being a common practice which the police ticket only when they want to ticket someone but don't have another reason.

I am the cofounder of Mercury.co. We built a modern bank to support US businesses.

I am somewhat surprised by the negativity on HN to this post. I think the author is on target with issues he identifies at incumbent banks.

The future is going to be customer centric, technology driven banks and the incumbents are going to have a very hard time adapting to that change.
Sleeping on a parent's couch isn't an option for many people for a wide variety of reasons, and it's certainly the very minimum bar for a safety net. For example many people I know live thousands of miles from their parents. Sure it's an option, but it would be truly a last resort before homelessness.
For healthcare? In my case much less because the system feels a bit like very regulated competing non profits with a public option available and defined minimum service.

I've heard we've been paying more and more for certain types of medicine as far as subsidies go and although i haven't looked into it enough i can't help but look with distrust at recent governments over it.

I know how HN works pretty well, I think, and I understand the front page pretty well, too. Hipmunk isn't intellectually interesting on its own, and plenty of companies in the flight space close down daily; they're rarely relevant to HN. This is a marketing post, filled with marketing speak, and contains no substance. Under no circumstance would this be counted as intellectually interesting were it posted by any non-YC company (or one of 'patio11's I guess) as tiny as Hipmunk is. A quilt company in a town close to me closed down a few years ago; they made yearly what Hipmunk was purchased for. Didn't see their press release on HN, and it wouldn't be relevant to HN.

Plaid's posts were third-party articles, and they got purchased for a billion. This is ad copy. Users would not have upvoted this, because it's not on-topic, were it by a non-YC company.

I didn't even intend to be implying relevancy was required on HN (my submission history is filled with articles that aren't relevant to much of anything) with the original comment; my statement was intended to give context. The second comment, though, was devil's advocacy that I'm still going to stand by: it's nothing but silly to act like ad copy is relevant to HN inherently.

> It does not say that those who did not graduate from a top school are not good enough. All it says is that from a relative starting point, if you graduate from e.g. Harvard, you are more likely to be successful than if you did not.

These seem like they’re saying the same thing. If people like me were considered “good enough” OP wouldn’t have said that to begin with and CC to state school would have been fine

Thanks for posting this. It takes a bit of courage to write what you have. The hardest thing (for me) is to detach mentally/emotionally from the job when you're not there. You've just spent all day in an office, and it's difficult to be truly present when you get home. All I can say is that I struggle with similar issues, and I'm trying to work on setting more firm boundaries between me and my job. I wish you and your family the best of luck (and strength) in the coming months.
>>>I'm not basing my response off of any real data and neither are you.

I provided a measurable piece of data for my conclusions, which I'll put in pseudo-code:

CLASS partner; //object to define each sex partner, most variables omitted for simplicity

BOOL ahole; //dickish statement made post-coitus

BOOL itsover; //relationship terminated by other party

INT terminated; //just a counter

FLOAT failure_rate;

RANGE(partners):

IF (ahole AND itsover):

terminated++

failure_rate = terminated / COUNT(partners);

The sample size may be small from a statistician's perspective, but the results are nevertheless measurable and, more importantly, actionable, at the individual level. So basically I'm asking you, what does your "shallowness" function look like in similar pseudo-code? And I'm asserting that whatever variables you include, if we did a deep dive on them we would find some characteristic or behavior that the jerk in the equation could optimize for in order to maintain a favorable outcome.

>>>1. If it's the case that you disagree in it being dehumanizing.

Yes, option 1. But I'm a member of an organization that considers being called a "Steely-Eyed Baby Killer" a sort of compliment, so I'm sure you and I have vastly different Overton Windows for what constitutes dehumanizing commentary.

>>>I disagree and think it is dehumanizing and if someone said that to me after sex I would be pissed and lose interest. How about myself for a reference no data needed.

As I said before, what people SAY and what they actually DO are very often not the same. More importantly, they rarely even realize the cognitive dissonance. Data has to be collected from the party doing the seduction, which has a totally different frame of reference. Hence the analogy "Don't ask a fish how to catch fish, ask a fisherman."

>>>"Again it's your opinion that it doesn't matter after a connection has been built and I disagree strongly. If you think I'm the only human who disagrees ok."

Well let's circle allllll the way back to my original comment. I caveat-ed my position with a "tends to". Of course there is always some non-zero population for which the above doesn't apply. But the salient points are that a) a system model is applicable b) the model can be optimized c) the optimization is fault-tolerant significantly more often than not. Any guy with a sufficiently-deep notch count can corroborate that.

In order for my position to be false, the same high-notch count guys would have to be experiencing abnormally-high post-coital rejections due to assholish commentary, and that's definitely NOT the case.
An introductory psychology book that didn't give alternatives to g wouldn't be a very good textbook. g is easy to replicate but it doesn't really explain anything. It literally just proves that there's a correlation between cognitive tasks. That answers a what but not a why.

Yeah true,and thanks for that. I unintentionally oversimplified.

I meant the 'page' (including the FB pixel JS on it) could read the pixel but the problem is of course the page is composed of resources from multiple domains and parties.

I'm pretty sure these days the default is just a JS ping to an endpoint, but the eponymous pixel exists under noscript tags for legacy support.
Your extension is great. Thank you! I've used it for a while. It makes something that I used to do, i.e. watching foreign language content on Netflix to advance a language, much easier.

Exactly my question when I learned through this post that Hipmunk is owned by Concur. The Concur flight search is the worst I've ever used. It feels like you have a better chance at winning the lottery than Concur's search actually showing you the flight that you want to take (that I already found on another website (usually Hipmunk)).

> I found libcurl difficult to use in 'C'

Umm.... it is literally the most simple API that could possibly exist? Here are the four lines in 'C' to fetch a URL:

curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_SSL); // do this once inside of "main()"

CURL ch = curl_easy_init();

curl_easy_setopt(ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com");

int res = curl_easy_perform(ch);

I'm not sure how you could fetch a URL without initializing the library or specifying the URL?? It is like profoundly the most simple API that could possibly exist, I challenge you to specify any imagined API that is shorter or more simple or more straight-forward??!

The nice thing about the libcurl API is the above works and is the "base" concept, but if you want to specify something like a "network throttle" to be polite to other things on the network, you just start adding one extra line at a time to the above code:

curl_easy_setopt(ch, CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE, (curl_off_t) (256 * 1024)); // 256 kbits/sec
This is somewhat of an aside, but it's been interesting watching the constant debate about the direction of causality between financial and emotional stability in a family.

I think when I was younger I tended to see financial success and stability as a downstream effect of other factors, but I can't help but now see that viewpoint as naive. Economic pressure alone is sufficient to create severe emotional stress and instability (which probably creates a feedback loop that makes it even harder to recover from).
I used to laugh at the idea of playing games on a tiny screen, especially AAA titles. But I was gifted a Nintendo Switch and I've used it almost exclusively in handheld mode. I played the entirety of Breath of the Wild on planes, morning commutes, and heck, even the bathroom.

That's a gorgeous game that probably deserves a big screen experience. But the convenience of being able to play anytime, anywhere trumps the cumbersomeness of sitting before a TV, switching everything on, and using a controller.
Perhaps. But it's far from "This is fairly simple maths, the rich are enslaving the working class [...]".
That's true, but it only redeuces the probability some. There existed well-fed healthy populations at many points in history and geography.

Even if the probability is much lower, there is estimated to be over 100 billions humans that have lived.

I think we intuitively underestimate ancient peoples' individual abilities because we have so much knowledge and wisdom that's been built up over millennia easily available to us. But someone had to figure out how to farm using primitive tools and develop the tradition for the community.

There are many options for you as an app developer. You can enjoy the scale and tooling provided by Apple, at one cost. Or you can write apps for any other computer at some other cost.

Or you may choose not to be an app developer at all and do something else useful.
For your first part, define "unfairly". A billionaire or multimillionaire might be benefitting from many advantages in life that others didn't get but this does not negate their capacity to organize capital and labor in a way that creates a business which otherwise wouldn't exist in the first place to give jobs to all those workers. This is not something just anyone or some collective of workers can pull out of a hat or easily continue to run in most situations. A single factory employee might work very hard but their marginal utility will make little difference to that company's survival. The CEO or founder simply ceasing work definitely could ruin the business as a whole though. So again, define unfair and why you have your definition.

Furthermore, Wealthy people in most developed modern economies didn't simply steal most of their wealth out of some giant pie that someone else created They instead organized capital and labor to create something others wanted to exchange value for. For this same reason again, I'd love to see you define how you measure "fair" and "unfair" share in a business or society.

As for the second part in italics, the idea that a middle class somehow can exist at all before a capitalist economy developed is absurd. Other parts of that quote are emotional dreck and as for said "plutocrats" being job creators, well, in many cases this is exactly what they are, whether you like it or not. This doesn't mean they're above criticism, but cheap, populist class warfare arguments are no good solution to anything economic or social.
