AFAICT, it's basically xpath applied to json. Which isn't helpful, but perhaps explains why it's so obtuse.
Caste is another term for race. Both terms are not terms that designate bioligical properties of a person but social grouping based on perceived social differences (e.g.: even if your skin is lighter than some white people, having 1/8th black ancestory will get you classified as black, while actual african americans with wealthy had become "honorary white").

Like others have said, you can't say "I won't hire you because you have red hair" either for example. If I make up the practical equivalent of a race and arbitrarily deny jobs to people because of it, that violates the equal employment opportunity law. If I deny jobs because of skin melanin content, regardless of sociap definitins if race, the fact that I don't call it race does not change the fact that it is "race" , a classification of humans that identifies behavioral,physiolgical and intellectual traits based on membership to a unique genetic ancestory.

Accent and color of your cloth are not bioligical hereditary properties.
I find the HN structure very effective in following discussions and it is really the same structure that the author creates, just spread vertically instead of horizontally.

Has anyone used this for their company internal discussions? I'm keen on giving it a try. I've even grabbed the last published HN source code to give this a try.
My parents had stable jobs, but weren't super well off when I was a kid; but one thing that I only really appreciated in retrospect was that they gave me an effectively unlimited budget for books. They'd give me suggestions and buy me books that they thought would be worthwhile reads, but they'd also buy whatever fantasy/sci-fi books I asked for. Thankfully for my parents' wallets, I did spend a lot of time at our town library.
Fundamentally, the choice of training data set, and the biases that went into it's collection.

Also, in the case of statistical models, the crafting of the trained features themselves.

Actually, this is also relevant for neural networks despite the fact that they learn their own features because some amount of "framing" of the raw data often takes place in order to focus the neural network on the portion of the input data the trainer sees as relevant. This removes noise, but also removes context.
I have heard that small cable companies pay upwards of $11 per month per sub in retran fees. This article from the industry says..."According to Kagan, the average retrans fee charged by a broadcast station will reach $2.93 by 2022, putting it behind only ESPN ($11.08) and cable channel TNT ($3.09)." [1]

This increase by YTTV is driven by the leverage that ViacomCBS has because of the CBS locals then own. They are forcing YTTV to take these network. Until retransmission consent is changed, we are stuck paying the local station holders despite the fact that their content is free OTA.

> i really think that alot of people just don't think things though before they open their mouth and this is one time where you should have thought through your answer instead of jumping on the "knowledge should be free" bandwagon.

Respectfully, if the original poster didn't think things through, you should be able to come up with a counter argument that goes beyond just asserting s/he is wrong. Something that appeals to some sort of underlying principle.

For non-intellectual property most justifications rest on, there is only 1 car, we can't both have it. Seems like it is most fair it belongs to the entity who made it (or for things in nature first to find), who can then trade it to other people. This argument rests on the notion "we can't both exclusively use something" which doesn't apply to ideas. The foundation for why intellectual property makes sense (in a philosophical sense) is much less clear, is a much more modern invention, and most of the time seems much more akin to the gov giving a tax benefit than to a natural right.

>"it can be argued the same as downloading a movie or a song or an application."

I don't think anyone is disputing this. I certainly think movies, songs and programs should be treated the same as books.

Price hike aside I cannot support a company that abuses creators. It used to be such a great source of knowledge and content but now it’s been gutted and has become just as mind numbing as daytime TV.
> So...don't use CRA?

Sure, I can get by fine without that, but then I've got to educate 2 other members of my team, both who can program in numerous languages but are quite inexperienced with web development, how to correctly set up each project using the React/Redux/Sass/Typescript/Jest. I can do it myself and hand them a project template, but then no-one else will learn how to do it. The reason for CRAs existence is (more than any argument I might make) an implicit acknowledgement that setting up new webapps is a far more painful experience than it should be.

> it's kind of a surprise to see the claim that Webpack encourages its use.

It was React that recommended CRA, not Webpack recommending CRA, apologies for my misleading description.

> Or - a much easier tradeoff - just don't use Sass.

I'm already quite familiar with plenty of reasons to not use -or to use- SASS. The point is that as a tech choice it's hardly a minor player, and yet the experience of setting up / migrating a project using easily recognisable tech (React/Redux/Sass/TypeScript) is a long way from a straightforward. In my example, I already had SASS on existing related projects. My team members were already familiar with it. Create-React-App was at the time was also actually already built to include support for SASS - the problem IIRC was that the fork of CRA that added Typescript support was forked from a CRA version before SASS was supported, so (at the time) it was a "one or the other" situation before I forked it and fixed it myself.

> Keeping up with that kind of change, and knowing how to recognize and take advantage of the good, is one of the things it's an engineer's job to do.

It's also part of our jobs to look at processes and procedures identify areas of inefficiency, and to ask questions about what a better way of doing things would look like.

Finally, the trajectory of this discussion is pretty absurd. I'm offering examples of what happens in web development to illustrate that there is a massive difference between treating developer tools like Webpack / CRA as though they're similar to text-editors that you don't have to invest a bunch of time to understand and keep up to date with (a point that if I'm understanding you right, you likely agree with). My comment above's central claim is: that while critiques on size of dependency chain of developer tool like CRA or WebPack might be misguided, they are hardly lightweight cognitively, and the choice to use these tools (or not use them) isn't something to just take lightly because we clarified that our deployed artefacts didn't balloon in size.
Exactly. It would be like discriminating against black people but only those named after somebody on our (USA's) currency.
No, not geographic. Unlike ethnicity or color, the caste system is racial discrimination based on profession.

In old Indian kingdoms, there were warriors, priests, teachers, business people, janitors etc.
The caste system basically puts a social value on each of these with priests (who were also teachers) being at the top.

The problem is, you couldn't just choose to be a priest.. or a warrior.. or a janitor. You were born into the profession. You were a janitor because your father was a janitor and his father before him.

Discriminating based on caste for the purposes of education, work, government services, etc.. has been outlawed in the Indian constitution since 1948. It still happens, because people are people, but less so with each generation.
I came to the realization that not everyone feels emotions the same way. In therapy, I often had people ask me to try to describe my emotions in terms of bodily images and ask me to justify how I know I'm sad or angry or whatever. It always seemed like such an absurd waste of time, but apparently some people don't actually feel emotions, they infer them from their own behavior. My therapist seemed surprised that the sensation of sadness is an abstract feeling that I experience, like you would feel pain or coldness, and the same goes for all the other emotions you might feel. The idea of getting in touch with your emotions is like getting in touch with a punch in the gut.

It makes me realize there's a lot of experiences we probably all take for granted and assume that everyone experiences the way we do, but we just kind of assume that when someone says they can see it in their head or they can feel it in their heart we just assume everyone means that metaphorically.
> In fact, this is exactly what the authors did.

In fact, they did so after Timnit brought up her objection, and did so by taking advantage of Timnit's research (the model card they added is a direct result of research Timnit was involved with: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.03993).
GIGO, which in this context would translate to something like "using a bad dataset means there is a problem with the data, not that the tool is racist". I'm not an expert, but I think the argument here is it's far far too easy to have a "garbage" dataset with these tools. I.e. one that only functions correctly for some racial groups (like this one does). That's only racist if you then try to use it in a situation where it comes in contact with multiple racial groups - like, virtually anywhere in the real world.
I've heard people argue that a lot of the older housing stock in the Bay Area isn't worth insuring because the property value dwarfs the value of the home.
Toby Ord talks about this very problem in his book "The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity" [1] -- I totally recommend it if you are into this subject, although I have to admit I am pretty pessimistic after reading it, as it seems that the only way to avoid existential risk is by preparing through international collaboration at a global level. Precisely what I do not think will happen any time soon in the current climate.

I'm not clear about how Yann does not take it seriously? He even admitted respect for Gebru's work. He's just making a technical claim that this is due to data bias. Whether that's true, who knows, but I really don't see how he is being callous in all of this.

I'm not sure I understand what the issue is at all.
I am someone who was born a hindu dalit and I am so ashamed of sharing that identity of mine that I am posting anonymously.

Hindus believe that humans are like dogs and they have a breed. So a person who is born in a higher caste is of a better breed than a person born in a lower caste. Numerous genetic studies have found no significant difference amongst Indian castes. The moment an upper caste person realizes that you are a lower caste, you will be made fun of and ridiculed. Caste is also tied to your last name, so when a Hindu person says his full name he is telling his First name and his Caste. Which is why brahmins will be the first ones in a group to say their full name, while dalits will only meekly say their first name. The entire religion and caste system was built to make people feel shameful of their last name. In fact, some last names of lower castes are commonly used as abuses by upper caste.

It is the worst form of discrimination known to man and it's horrible how hindu society openly supports and promotes it. While slavery lasted only for a couple of hundred years, caste system has been going on for millennia. Dalit atrocities are common in India even today and everyday 10s of lower castes dalits are raped, killed , tortured and humiliated just because they were born a lower caste Hindu. Upper caste hindu managers openly look down on lower caste hindus, even in the US , and will discriminate against them. Caste shame is also inbuilt in a lot of Dalit hindus and they themselves feel embarrassed while even saying their full name.

One of the best things I did after coming to this country was to convert to christianity and a few of my dalit hindu friends have done too. Upper caste hindus have no problem seeing a converted christian as their equal, but they would still regard a hindu dalit as inferior. Hinduism has a huge conversion problem even in India, and it is the fastest shrinking religion in the world.

Because some people still use computers without internet connections – especially users of “pro” applications (widely defined, e.g. anything made by Adobe), which are some of the most commonly pirated applications. I can confirm from experience that cracks telling you to prevent the program from connecting to the Internet are a thing.

For the record, 'more stable' would have been correct here.

I'm not too upset it's harder to qualify for a mortgage here because it saved us from getting hit even harder ten years ago.

I've been banking for about 15 years and never had much to complain about. Sometimes I get an NSF fee from TD, I just call them and they reverse it as a 'one-time courtesy.' I've lost count of how many times I've done that and they've never said no. My credit card has no yearly fee and I pay $15 a month for my chequing account with unlimited transactions and E-transfers. You can go cheaper but I use debit and e-Transfer a lot. That's the sum of my personal banking fees.

For my business account I use FirstOntario's eChequing account with no monthly fee. Only thing I ever pay on this account is a $1.50 e-Transfer fee when I pay myself or others. I did have to buy shares when I opened the account as it's a credit union but they were only $25. The shares have appreciated by $10 in the few years I've had the account so I'm not complaining.

Really not that bad for me. What's your situation?
People are arguing for what should be, not what is. In that context it doesn't matter what happens to be illegal right now. Laws do change over time - and intellectual property is a relatively recent invention compared to normal property.
Even on SiriusXM, the DJs never seem to shut up.

One of my fondest "one of these days" project ideas: duct-tape a correlator to an RF front end, along with enough storage to "Tivoize" the local FM band. Record everything, recognize and redact any content that reoccurs within 30-second windows, and rebroadcast it for household/car consumption.
I think the dilemma is more important than how we do the copyright laws right now. Sharing is always better as a model, it demands less restrictions for one, less oversight. I don't have a number how much the world population have grown since the laws were inacted, but it's at least in the 10 fold? What works on a "small" number of people might not scale. We as programmers know that. So what gives if everyone wants to be a millionare, which in a sense promotes that ignoring values/others around is a good idea if you yourself get a good life. In an ironic twist the most shared idea is the one that anyone could be rich, and that it is a good thing to be much richer than those around you.

So, what is a good life? I don't see living in a mansion or castle as a good way of life if measured that way. I rather see it how many people I can help along during my stay here, that's my measurement. Of course I absolutely hate copyright and the notion of IP.

Maybe the laws and lengths are good for the life views that people have right now. But maybe there's other incentives than the Right to the work, maybe good work could be measured in an other sense and rewarded more directly in your community. Globalisation when done badly is so bad for us since the ones in that bubble optimize for their own profit instead of the greater good (which is the best scenario in long sight).

Maybe I'm weird, but I am soo tired of the idea that we should only focus on ourselves all the time. Get good ideas out that will solve big problem, reward those that produce those ideas and those that want to do the miles. Less of the, look I changed color of this thing and now I got a patent on it and I will sue you. Reward ideas that makes sharing easier. We as a planet just don't have the time if we want to make it as a whole.
you could argue that caste, is a combination of color+religion+origin/ancestry combo... it has a racial + religion + ancestry undertone.... i.e. it is something you are 'born into'.
You can convincingly say this in retrospect about any event that happened, after all, it happened; it can't be so improbable and someone somewhere inevitably warned about the risk.

The spread of coronavirus outside China was in no way inevitable. Several potential pandemics were handled internally, this one escaped due to denial and incompetence, at which point it was harder to control. If it is utterly predictable we should be able to predict its course and fatalities - we can't.

If we had a large asteroid strike, famine, a robot rebellion, a collapse in world supply chains or super-volcano eruption it'd be 'inevitable' according to somebody somewhere, but most of the world didn't expect it and didn't prepare for it.
Ideally you would temporally separate the purchasing of the drives and make sure to hook them up and check them every so often (once a year?).

Much like other commenters I'm no expert on the topic, but I think you'd have to be pretty incredibly unlucky to have a mechanical failure on 3 drives at once from lack of use, especially if they were from different manufacturing batches.

It is difficult to fully understand as it deeply part of the religion and culture so they may not be able to easily explain it to you. Many political parties win elections on caste based politics, so it is large part of people's concisenesses

There are always layers within every layer whether someone is higher or lower and even within a caste it depends on genealogy(which mythical ancestor your family originates), sub varieties, socio-economic status locality, education, organizations , roles you worked at etc.

It is persistent and systemic discrimination, while things have improved in the last 70 years, there are still a lot problems. Easiest way to to figure out who someone marries especially if it is an arranged marriage
Not the same thing, if you chose to be a member of caste or it had nothing to do with your anceatory then your comparison would hold true. But even if you said "curly haired people can't work here" that would be racial descrimination. The term race can mean different things in different cultures but the reasonable person's understanding would be ancestoral grouping of people based on physiological characteristic such as skin color.

Consider how east asians can sometimes have skin whiter than scandanavians but their race is still asian. Or how brown skinned southern europeans can be white while similarly skin-toned north africans are excluded from whiteness.
I cannot remember the syntax and have to search for it every time but it's very powerful. You basically give a DSL to process json. I can do map, filter and even math.

The reason it's popular partly because it's available from both Centos/Debian based. Just use `yum` and `apt`. Most of time, you maybe limited with what have on a container. And `jq` may even pre-install by DevOps.

Because HR generally doesn't have arbitrary hiring and firing power, and because their job in most firms is to protect, first, the company bottom line from unacceptable risk of legal liability for employment actions and, second, the company’s management (who presumably are looking out for the bottom line in other ways).

Arguman's fallacy system is really an anti-feature. It's impossible to separate the claim that a specific argument is a fallacy from a counter-argument. Many people seem to think that you can just take a word describing a kind of a argument, attach "fallacy" to it, and you have refuted it.
