Even controlled for income, achievement disparities persist between races. Also imagine: everytime you make a bad play, you go to jail, while the white player does not. Even as children, black kids receive harsher punishments (full on suspensions) than white kids (time-outs) for similar infractions. Imagine your whole life being told that you're bad and disruptive. You might start to internalize and normalize that message, and not try very hard as a result.
"Centuries of slavery and legal discrimination" is not "active discrimination on the basis of your race." It was at the time, of course. It has contributed to the circumstances of populations at large, but that is not at all what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about if you take a black man and an Asian man and control for everything but race, the Asian man will be more disadvantaged in pursuing things that matter (education, employment, spouse) than the black man, on the basis of their race.
Is there a good introduction to decision methods on general like the ones you describe? I'm very interested in this.
> Everyday consumer cars haven't offered anything interesting to the consumer for nearly 20 years, and I'm not sure what they could possibly offer.

If you look back to the days when cars were less utilitarian and more sentimental, the key difference was that people would modify them. They'd put on bigger wheels and performance parts, cut them up and turn a truck into a camper or add aftermarket features to the interior.

You ever see that show about Count's Customs? People used to do that at home. But basically every car on that show is 1980s or earlier for a reason.

Modern cars are unibody, they don't have a separate frame so you can't put on a different one. Everything is not only done by computers but done by opaque undocumented non-standard computers. You can't so much as replace the entertainment system in your car because it's integrated with the climate controls and everything else.

Some of that (like unibody) is for a reason, but most of it isn't. It doesn't have to be this way.

And when it wasn't was when people actually cared about their cars. That's how you get people to pay you all of these maintenance dollars -- get them to push their cars hard on the track or off-roading or on cross-country road trips but then care enough about them to pay you the money to repair them when they wear out. Get people to love them because they have hundreds of hours into them and brand loyalty means something because all your spare parts and systems knowledge are for Chevys and not Hondas or vice versa.

They all think they want to be Apple but more phones run Android and more servers run Linux and Tesla is already being Apple. Be something else. There are a lot of customers looking for something else and not a lot of competitors providing it.
Well I think there are innovations there.

Electric cars are a huge innovation and comfort improvement when driving.

Cars could have way better entertainment systems.

Better integration with your phones is generally a feature people like

Advanced Automation like Autopilot are Super Cruise are popular and a useful technology

Modern active safety features are a great technology

Seems to its just that many automakers do a bad job on many of these things. Those that don't generally have less issues.

> I'm addressing the assumption, wrapped in theories about incentives, that everyone (strangely except any persons expounding the theory) is eager to quit work for "welfare" at the first opportunity

Again, the GP comment didn't say or imply anything like this. You're just accusing random commenters of irrelevant thoughtcrime based on trying to fit into every square peg into the round hole of the same vacuous political gamesmanship that dominates most conversations that touch on the economy. Paying attention to incentives doesn't at all imply that you think it's a moral failing for someone to follow incentives. In fact, I'd imagine that it's quite the opposite: people who get hysterical at the sight of rational, apolitical discussion are infinitely more likely to weight descriptions of incentives with moral dimensions that they don't have or need.

This is what it looks like when people are actually interested in trying to understand the economic situation, without immediately having to snap into us-vs-them political gamesmanship. HN isn't perfect, but it's at least better than that; Go to /r/politics or something if that's what you're interested in.
Yes, Windows has made a reputation for backwards compatibility and it works surprisingly well. However, it's not perfect and it only goes so far. I know there are a lot of companies out there still running Windows 95 because their software doesn't work on more advanced versions. Also, what have Microsoft given up for this compatibility? Its my understanding that Windows source code is a huge mess which has made updating it a large project. Just look at the control panel for the most recent version of Windows; it's a mish-mash of styles and layouts.

Is this what you're looking for? Scientists at NTNU St. Olav's Hospital has made a test that can check 150,000 patients per week for Corona infection [1]. (Yes, it's the same uni that used the USA as an example in warning students abroad against poorly developed health systems lol.) Already testing is a lot more frequent in Norway because of it, and they're cautiously re-opening some businesses and services, the first of which are kindergartens and hair dressers.

The Norwegian health authorities also published an app that can be voluntarily downloaded, that tracks and warns about infected, while also collecting research data for future use. [2] The app has garnered some criticism for leaking user data, and for discharging the battery too quickly. The retort is that it's of course voluntary and anonymous, and that it's actually tracking less data than Facebook or Google.

Read a lot, play a lot. Keep a swing book and write down what you've learned and review it often. You are about to take the first step on a long journey. Here's the first page of my poker swing book:
Buy into a Poker game with the idea of completely destroying it.
Pay attention and attention will pay you.
It's difficult to conceal character.
Over time, the worst player in the world catches just as many good cards as the best player in the world.
Don't open limp and attack open limpers.
Don't cold call. Raise or fold.
It takes a stronger hand to call a raise than it takes to raise.
Reraise 3x the original raise.
Never reraise with QQ or JJ preflop (unless you are very seldomly balancing with a limp reraise).
Play tight EP loose LP.
Don't overvalue flopped bottom two pair--you are probably up against top pair or an overpair with 5 outs as well as draws, and you can be counterfeited by a higher running pair on the board. Also go slow with top and bottom pair.
J 10 is the best connector hand. It's the only 2 cards that can make a nut straight 4 ways: 9 8 7, Q 9 8, K Q 9 and A K Q. It can't make a bad straight.
Change gears suddenly. Once they catch on, change gears again.
Play mostly tight in a loose games, and mostly loose in a tight games.
Targets of plays need to have at least a 20 BB stack; preferably 20x your bet.
Set mine small pairs. But not against small stacks.
Raise suited connectors, midpairs and broadways in late position if no one raises in front of you.
Bet or raise big Aces, but fold if reraised.
Bet JJ +AK 6 BB. Only go for a limp reraise rarely.
Commit stack in low SPR hands.
Fold one pair hands when facing a turn raise.
Don't call down with inferior cards!
Continuation bet 1/2 pot, but don't raise dry flops if you have a monster.
Raise pot with top 2 pair and no pair on board but be careful with bottom two pair and top and bottom.
Ask yourself, "Given how I’ve played the hand so far, what might my opponent think I have?”
What we does he want me to think he has? What sort of hand might he actually have?”
Don't bet so much that a hand you want to call, will fold, or so little that a hand you want to fold, will call....Especially on the River. Don't help your opponents play correctly.
Big pots and big bets are for big hands: Big bets mean big hands. Don’t make or call big river bets with mediocre hands. Big pots and big bets are for big hands. Don’t forget.
Make sure that you bet or raise enough with your good hands so they can’t profit by playing longshot draws.
Don’t justify optimistic calls
Whenever you bet or raise, always have an answer in your head to the question: “Will I pay off a big raise on this hand, or will I fold if it comes to that?”
Gnome-Builder, the official Gnome IDE, builds flatpaks. I'm not sure how good it works, but idea is that one should imagine this brave new world of Linux sandboxed apps similarly how IDEs could work on smartphones. In the end the IDE must be either blessed with special powers or it must build packages for the sandboxing system. Gnome-Builder seems to take the latter direction.

I had run it via X11Forwarding (I had a contusion and used a puny laptop to connect to my desktop) and it was not a smooth ride, so it's not an entirely representative experience, but it shows that it's not all painless, yet.

> I'm talking about if you take a black man and an Asian man and control for everything but race, the Asian man will be more disadvantaged in pursuing things that matter (education, employment, spouse) than the black man, on the basis of their race.

This just tells me that you have zero conception of what life is like for lower class black Americans. Your assumption is that everyone starts at the same starting place, and that these things (education, employment, etc.) are just things one intuitively knows about and can easily gain access to, if you just work hard enough.

The reality is that for many lower class Americans, there is no cultural capital or mechanism for even beginning to understand the process of academic achievement, applying to colleges, getting a professional job, and so on. There are no role models, no family members to offer support, no community that values such things. These cultural patterns, behaviors and built-up knowledge do not exist.

To analyze discrimination on isolated individuals is to entirely miss the point that centuries of slavery and discrimination have destroyed much of this cultural capital, and simply removing the most egregious discriminatory behaviors isn't going to suddenly straighten all that was crooked, especially not in less than a century. And that's assuming that there is no active current discrimination, which is again, blatantly false.

So this was something that a former boss/colleague and I kinda worked on for a few months at a prior company to help architects collaborate on global development standards.

There was a base set of standards which evolved over time, and regions whose standards would extend that base in different ways.

We actually got to the point where a small team of architects would write these standards in Markdown, use GitHub Desktop to manage their branching/PR-ing/reviewing workflows, and then tag releases. Then Jenkins would pick up the tag and process the Markdown with Pandoc to produce DOCX and PDF documents that adhered to our corporate style guide.

IIRC there were a few reasons why it never got widespread adoption. One thing that sticks is that even after we taught people how to use git and they ran with it while pushing out updates, without the daily reinforcement (e.g. like what software workflows require) the knowledge just didn't seem to stick.

The whole thing was really slick; in retrospect I wish we would have given a small talk about it and open sourced the workflow as an example. If nothing else, it reinforced my belief that with _just a little more polish_ force-multiplying dev tools could save people in other industries a lot of time/effort.
Yeah I was forced to do this as a child when writing typed stuff in school and wish I hadn’t, hopefully won’t be too hard to relearn.

We were also forced to have perfect MLA citations in high school where the librarian had to sign off on it and you had to go rewrite it for any arbitrary little thing - what a monumental waste of time. They probably still make the students do that.
Rete algorithm - famous in business rules engines, forward chaining, backward chaining, inference engines - all fun topics in the field of expert systems. Much of it, however, left behind in the pursuit of more complex machine learning and AI approaches, as of late.

Thanks for engaging with the HN community. I'm a bit disappointed that the original article doesn't say if the author is associated with your company. At one point he says "We", but it's never clear. Did I miss something? Your comment doesn't address this issue at all. Investor? Employee?

Ethics are an important thing.
Life expectancy, earnings, education of the populations at large? That isn't evidence of racism, these populations don't engage in remotely comparable behaviors, have remotely comparable histories, or cultures. I'm talking about situations that are specifically and actively differentiated _due to_ race alone.

If Asians are approved for bank loans at higher rates than black people, that doesn't mean that it's harder to get a loan as a black person than it is as an Asian person. What I am talking about is that if you were a black person with a given credit score, with a given salary, capital, etc, and you were less likely to get a loan than an Asian with exactly the same criteria, only then would this be you being discriminated against on the basis of your race.

When talking about discrimination against Asians, the examples I'm giving are ones in which the Asian individual can meet or surpass all of the objective criteria necessary for an outcome, but their race is the active factor that harms them. Last I read, if Ivy Leagues were unaware of any racial identifiers, and simply had the objective criteria of SAT scores, GPA, extra-curricular achievements, Asians would make up 40% of their universities. When we say that black Americans have a shorter life expectancy, earnings, or education do you understand how that isn't remotely comparable? You haven't controlled for anything. If you say that there is an epidemic of black students not being admitted to schools despite having identical qualifications as other applicants, only then are you bringing up a comparable example to what I'm discussing.
That's not true. Go look at the us constitution, which is not typeset. There are bigger spaces after periods, see article I section 2, lines 3 and 4 for two examples.
Clearly it was intended to convey a positive association. I think it's totally fallacious to imply that unhinged is a positive attribute; hence the rebuttal. Unhinged is just unhinged.

Sure, the crazy people who made a bunch of money (or the terrorists) are the ones you've heard of. The majority of "unhinged" people are probably not better off for it.

Steve Jobs is kind of a great example. On HN people fawn over him, but he was "unhinged:" he was a giant asshole to everyone, by all accounts, and he opted for snake oil over medicine during the earliest part of his cancer treatment.

Plenty of people get lucky and strike it rich or contribute meaningfully to society without being unhinged. There is no meaningful correlation here.

I would encourage any white or Asian person that’s against affirmative action to also mark themselves as an additional race, even if it’s a lie. What school you get in to (and what job, etc.) should be based on merit. If affirmative action is still to exist now it should be based on income, not race.
