Compare this with Germans under the Soviet sphere of influence. Puppets, maybe, but alive as long as they cooperated with the ruling ideology. There was no plan to ethnically cleanse them to make room for Soviet citizens in German land.

The USSR declared Germans in the annexed territories illegal residents. Going by Wikipedia, in 1947/48, officially, 102,125 Germans got shipped from East Prussia to the Soviet Zone, though only 99,481 arrived there (one reason for this was that food wasn't always provided on a journey that took 4-7 days by train). The GDR attributed this discrepancy to a 'calculation error'.

There's also the issue of German orphans that were left behind (which are known as 'Wolskinder'). The lucky ones got adopted (eg by Lithuanian farmers), changed their names, and pretended not to be German. The unlucky ones were exploited as cheap labour, starved or got killed. His criticism of the treatment of German civilians was one of the things that got Solzhenitsyn arrested.

>No, this is not true. If it were, the star's mass would be zero.

All it means is that if we were to take all the constituent particles in a star and spread them out at 'infinity' from each other (effectively all across the universe), pushing them apart working against the gravity of the star holding it together, the energy required would be equal to the energy in those particles (from their mass, nuclear forces, etc).

The energy cost of disassembling a star equals the energy in the star, so the net energy of the star is zero. It's just a matter of doing the relevant calculations to see this, which was first done by Pascual Jordan in the 1940s.

I realise it's a ridiculously counter-intuitive result. Apparently when Einstein was told this, he stopped dead in his tracks while crossing a busy road.

> To maximize college's benefit to society, I think you should admit people whose success would be most improved by college.

1. I'm have yet to be convinced that Harvard is trying to maximize its benefit to society.

2. Even if we stipulate that Harvard's sole goal is to maximize its benefit to society, it may be that increasing the number of Jeff Deans or Jim Kellers, even by a small amount, is more beneficial to society than better educating a lot of average people.

... or it may not be. My point is that the approach you suggest is not obviously correct.

Oh yeah. I remember the "let's just apply the good parts of AngularJS here and there" in v4-6.

"React was built for Facebook, which is a large company building a large-scale application."

One large scale application, which is not enough to create stable conventions that are badly needed in a framework that's supposed to be used in multiple such projects done by very different organisations.

All those hoops current frameworks are jumping through so that we can eat the cake and have it too are there because of this.

>Also worth noting that 20% of Harvard students pay 0 tuition, and more than 50% get needs-based scholarships. https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid. So if you're smart enough, and/or fit into the financial aid brackets, why not go to Harvard?

Are you seriously suggesting that 50% the most talented students in the country have $313,000 for tuition?

If financial aid and scholarships worked as advertised, Ivy League schools would be filled to the brim with talented people. There would be no space left for stupid kids with rich parents. Yet those kids get in, reliably. There were many scandals related to that recently. Heck, just look at the children of major US politician and media elites.
Yep, Asians need to learn how to play the race politics card. All those white politicians didn't get into the white house because they had good grades, but because they knew how to play to the crowd. In a democratic society, if you don't know how to get others to like you you'll always be screwed by someone who does. Remember, the employee that gets promoted isn't the one that works the hardest, but the one that their coworkers like the best. Reality isn't school, you aren't judged by the letters on a report card but how well you can navigate through a society made of other individuals. Whether that's by kissing up to white male bosses on wall street or being surrounded by minority activists on main street, social manipulation skills gives much more leverage than hard technical skills.

I think a small (in terms of GDP) country developing major weapons systems is an impossibly difficult position to be in. The R&D costs are stupendous, so you need to sell a lot of units to make the per-unit costs bearable. Since you're a small country, domestic demand isn't enough. Superpowers buy lots of gear, but they also very strongly prefer their own domestic technology. So you basically have to sell to a lot of other small countries, in competition with the superpowers who are also eager to get export income and political influence.

Those resonate with me as well. For (1), it seems to strike for tasks that I feel "should" be simple, but in fact simply are not. Accepting that seems to help.

For (2), I do indeed loathe retracing some task that's similar to something I've done in the past. One thing that sometimes helps is to find a way to put a new spin on it. Maybe use an unfamiliar language or data structure. Or optimize for something different. Or push 'git' to the max while working on it.

CalDAV should have you covered there. While the need for a server may be a bit inconvenient, I doubt that usability would be on par with it when you just copy the files instead (think of alerts, sharing calendars with others, etc). Also, there is no iOS Syncthing client when your phone probably is the most important device to have your calendars on.
> [GPAs a]re as predictive as or more predictive of future educational performance (usually first-year college GPA) than test scores, despite grade inflation (which isn't as extreme as some would have you think).

But in the context of this finding, the returns to grade inflation are limited by the fact that, when you report your GPA, you also report a standardized test score. This theoretically nullifies any potential benefit to grade inflation. (In practice, there's still a benefit.)

When there is no outside check on the reliability of GPAs, might they adjust by inflating a lot more than they already have?

This is all a Devils Advocate post. I have no reason to complain about my (future) compensation. Working in the consulting division allowed me to make $BigTech money as an “Enterprise Developer” without studying a single algorithm, and being able to work completely remote from a low cost of living area....

As a soon to be employee on the AWS side and speaking very selfishly, I could see it benefiting AWS employees tremendously being separate from the low margin retail side. They would probably have benefits and compensation more in line with the other BigTech companies.

Employees at AWS definitely wouldn’t be as limited in what they can contribute to their 401K because they are considered Highly Compensated Employees and the contribution rate is weighed down by factory workers.
What? Turbines? Materials? Only the US and Europe can actually build functional jet engines and most of the bleeding edge materials. Even semi functional jet engines are still a distant dream for China. Same thing goes for chips, where only Taiwan and the US can manufacture current gen nodes. If anything, the US offloaded commodity manufacturing that is easily reproductible to build a very very high moat around key technologies instead of fighting to the bottom for scraps of old industries.

As for medical devices and tech, the US probably creates more new drugs and treatments than the rest of the world combined. when's the last time china, india or russia made a break through in medecine? When's the last time the US did? Last year?

> Will be interesting to see how ML and CRISPR converge

I've been seeing similar comments a lot lately, and I don't understand why. As someone with a background in ML that is now studying biochemistry I'd be the first person to jump at something like that, but I'm just not seeing any big ML potential that directly has to do with CRISPR.

Is it just two hyped technologies being thrown in a pot? Is there something I'm missing?
Yea, probably. I just only cited data for recently.
As mine.

I'll just leave this here for any other disappointed folks. Mega65 is due to begin taking orders for dev kits next week. I am so stoked: https://mega65.org/

(note that dev kits do not include the final molded case, that should be coming later)
Because you are claiming to be providing something that is "smarter" and "more robust". Not actually testing it enough to find the common case where it doesn't work gives the lie to that claim. It indicates if anything a lack of smartness, and is not robust. (Even Thomas Dickey's Stack Exchange answer on the subject, which is better than what you've given here, isn't robust, as M. Dickey didn't describe how to robustly parse a CPR sequence.)

When people talk about "ANSI sequences" and "ANSI conformant", they also indicate that likely their knowledge comes from old wives' tales and samizdat. The actual existing standards are ECMA-35 and ECMA-48, and the "E" in "ECMA" does not stand for "ANSI". The world of terminals is alas full of people who've worked off informal "escape code lists", or the Appendix for ANSI.SYS in the back of the Microsoft manual for MS-DOS, and don't actually understand in the first place what it is to be standards conformant.

For starters, it is ECMA-48 in both directions, and your code has to be standards conformant, which that absurdly fragile string matching is not. Would you have your own "it's not conformant, it can be disregarded" applied to you? Because it very much does.

In truth, (partly as a result of people working from samizdat and old wives' tales) most terminals and terminal emulators are like your code, not conformant, and by your metric everything should be "casually disregarded", leaving nothing at all; which is hardly a sensible position.

If you don't need a virtual DOM, nobody will judge you for not having one. But once you really feel 'behind the wheel' of a framework like react or vue, it's hard to go back. Not only is it easier to hack out something quick over a weekend, it's also more suitable for collaborating large, complex applications.
Yes. See above.
To be honest, I think Windows would be in a _much_ better state from a user perspective if it had been like the iOS ecosystem for the last decade.

If you just want to use the damn thing and not spend time pissing about with sorting out the constant problems, incompatibilities, each app doing whatever it pleases, Windows is a nightmare right now

That won't do any good, then pedantic people will complain that they can better the numbers all the time, and thus EPA numbers are ridiculous, just like you are now.

Credit checks had a similar impact for minority and disadvantaged communities. Before, if you wanted to get a mortgage or a car loan, the bank would assess you based on a number of factors. Many banks explicitly used race as a criteria for denial. Now, with near instant credit checks, race has been removed as an explicit criteria, rightfully leading to much higher rates of loans and mortgages for minority and disadvantaged communities. Are credit checks anywhere close to reliable or fair? Can you correlate race based on zip code or other factors? Yes, these methods are not anywhere close to 'good enough'. But they are miles ahead of the explicit racism that preceded these form of financial product applications.

I worked at a major defense contractor in a small office for as an intern. The entire 50 person office was working on a single top-secret contract which very obviously was never going to get off the ground. After working on it for over 5 years, the prototype was still about as janky as could be and required a team of human operators to perform dangerous, highly intensive, time-intensive-training-necessary work just to get it to work. No one could say anything because everyone would be out of a job, and so, as far as I know, the project hobbles on.

Is it? My impression is that Windows behaves the same there, i.e. the border is drawn 1 px wide, but the full width of it is still available for grabbing, only it's being drawn invisible. If I hover my mouse over a window border, the cursor certainly switches into resize mode for more than just 1 pixel's worth of distance.
I agree it'll happen in time but my point is that Apple adopting ARM will not necessarily cause an instant chain reaction across the industry. My concern is whether my next laptop (perhaps 4 years away) will be ARM - and I'm not sure that there will a suitable machine on the market (I need Linux support) even if there is a perfectly capable range of MacBooks.

> "The holocaust was possible because step by step, the dehumanization and abstraction of the process resulted in people being able to be apathetic to it."

Abstraction of the process is not required nor is a process of dehumanization if it's already culturally ingrained. It is rarely spoken of but the Japanese occupation of Asia immediately preceding and during WWII caused nearly triple the deaths of the Holocaust (the vast majority being civilian) with as much or greater brutality in many cases and was not neatly confined to camps but widespread across all of Japan's occupied territories.

A Labor party should understand that the ability to organize and direct the labor of workers is itself exceptionally valuable labor. The value even scales up with the number of workers involved, the locations involved, the number of other working relationships that must be managed, and so on.

In the JavaScript/web framework space, it is absolutely remarkable how much running to stand still occurs. How people making absolutely trivial apps have megabytes of frameworks, having injected many magnitudes extra complexity, for illusions. It's bizarre.

It's like web developers have some major inferiority complex so there's this desperate need to make responding to a button and changing an input into some monstrosity of hilarious over-engineering, the result being some colossal piece of shit.

There have been incredible advances in software engineering in general, but the web space is really a counter-example -- I really don't feel there has been beneficial movement in a decade or more. Which is why frameworks and approaches are all so temporal -- the lack of legitimacy makes it so easy to unseat for the next silver bullet for hilariously simple apps.

Very mixed feelings on this.

I got terrible grades throughout high school (despite taking AP classes), and the only reason I was able to attend college was because I had very high ACT scores (perfect in English, and 2 points away from perfect in Math).

The way I see it there are two kind of perspectives you can take on this: A) I was a lazy kid who skated by and short-circuited my way through college or B) the school system failed me and I shouldn't be punished by not being able to attend college.

Honestly, I tend to gravitate toward option A, but it does make me wonder how much weight we should really assign to GPAs.
