This is not about whether he agrees with me (or anyone else).

It's about whether he practices what he preaches.

No one is perfect, but it's unwise to trust people who consistently advise one behavior but do another themselves.

Also, if he promised to be faithful to his wife, and then engaged in multiple affairs, he broke a big promise multiple times.

Again, I'd say that's relevant in deciding how much he should be trusted.
Not really, plenty of MBA type managers use it as a measure to allow for language adoption on their projects.
I think it's important to consider the effect size when we talk about race or class bias. My personal feeling is that class (money) plays a much larger role than race (at least in the U.S. , I can't comment on France). I believe that now, when certain minorities have lesser outcomes than the white majority, it is primarily due to a higher prevalence of poverty.

Consider East Asians, a minority who have historically been victims of racial injustice in the U.S. As recently as 1945, Japanese people were placed in internment camps in the United States. Despite all of this racism, they have better economic and health outcomes than the white majority. Why? I believe it is due to class.

If we were to spend more energy fighting economic inequality I think we would see better outcomes for racial minorities. That is not to say that racism doesn't exist today, and that it's not important to fight against racial injustice. Both are important, but I tend to see much more discussion of race than class.

As far as resume studies go, here is one that shows significant bias based on class: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/000312241666815... .

> If coronavirus were truly airborne, then we would all need to wear masks all the time, even when no one is around.

Cloth masks wouldn’t protect against that. Masks don’t do anything to stop airborne spread, only potentially mitigating droplet spread.

Unless you are referring to biohazard respirators as “masks.”

> I've heard it said that NYC was already past their peak before lockdown

They weren't passed their actual hospitalization peak, death peak, or (unless something caused a longer delay between infection and either of those outcomes than seen elsewhere) the infection peak when they started locking down.
This actually worked really well for me after a hell week and a presentation at the end. Often I get self conscious and freeze up at some point, but I was so wiped I just powered right through without a hitch. It was kinda weird.
> support for Donald Trump in 2016 (and after)

Um no.. Sowell endorsed Ted Cruz in the primaries and wrote quite the scathing critique of Donald Trump:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2016/02/16/traged...

In Sowell's own words:

> Some seem to think that Donald Trump's lead in the polls and in the New Hampshire primary make him the most electable candidate, even if he often acts like an overgrown spoiled brat.

Secondly:

> opposition to criminal justice reform and particularly decarceration,

is a common position amongst blacks in America. Many civil rights advocates fought for tougher criminal sentencing in the 80s and 90s, including many in Congress, such as Charlie Rangel. In this regard, Sowell's position is more in line with the views of African Americans of a certain age, instead of his conservative beliefs (recall, many libertarians were against the war on drugs: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/praise-imp...)

> a spicy "Brown v. Board of Education was decided wrongly" take

Here is Sowell's opinion: http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/5160. As someone who himself went to a segregated school, I feel he is entitled to his opinion on whether or not the children who went there feel inferior, which is the reasoning behind Warren's majority opinion. That being said, Sowell is extremely pro-school-choice and generally against publicly run schools, so in Sowell's America schools would have been naturally desegregated due to market forces.
Eleos Technologies (https://eleostech.com) | Android and Front-end Web Engineering | Fully Remote (US only) | Full time

Eleos Technologies is a growing 9-year-old company building communication software for truck drivers and field workers.

We’re helping a diverse mix of customers—from mom and pop operations to household names—improve how they communicate with their employees by tackling information overload, reducing phone calls, and eliminating obsolete technologies.

Our app is used by thousands of big-rig and small truck drivers, day and night, every day, and we've been on a sustainable growth curve for long enough that we're ready to grow our Android team from one to two!

The app does some unique things, including assisting drivers to plan their trips, find stopovers, manage their electronic duty log, and more—there's a lot more than just CRUD and chat features to go around. On the web side, we give fleets control over their workflow and service quality with innovative configuration and visualization tools.

As a remote team (since founding!), we're super lucky to have some great folks who use the ability to work from home to spend more time with their kids, help volunteer at a school, or otherwise be more fulfilled than they would be working from an office. You could join us!

If that sounds fun and rewarding to you, the full description and info about applying are over here:

> "...SARS-CoV-2 is airborne stable in aerosol form for over 3 hours..."

see, this is the kind of insinuation that does none of us any good. it's like doing PCR to connote live virus particles live for 17 days on surfaces (spoiler: they don't).

with that said, i'm down for air purifiers in living spaces† for a whole host of good health reasons, but most commercial spaces and public buildings (like schools) already have HVAC systems incorporating HEPA filters (as good or better than N95 masks). whether the operators change the filters on an appropriate schedule is a different matter however. residential HVAC systems, at least in newer construction, also tend to have HEPA filters (but not always).

Discipline and habits are one in the same as far as I am concerned. One builds into the other.
I used to work for DRT, they make the "dirtbox" mentioned in the article. I would really encourage journalists to dig more into this company and their products.
So the way these Deals are structured, you have "people in charge" of each deal, in simple terms. They also monitor all of these properties (Asset Managers) all the time. Right now they are basically marking them as "COVID" Forbearance. But that has been going on for some time now, and we are at risk of the bonds starting to default. I expect the Gov. to step in soon on this even more, but that will only buy a small amount of time. What needs to happen is to get tenants paying. It is a very complicated system that was never designed to handle something like this.

Using a Lidar to collect measurements deep into ocean
Please propose a system whereby facts can be collected, interpreted, verified and distributed for free. If it is not free, who funds it? How do we prevent the organization funding it from perverting the facts to serve its own interest? If we cannot prevent perversion by the financing organs, then we have propaganda.

These blue-sky pronouncements about truth being a public good do not move the discussion forward. "Truth" is socially manufactured (by that I'm not saying that nothing is true or false), and the process of manufacture has enormous costs.
Or it’s a form of cyber bullying.
>As much as I'd like it to be I don't think Linux is a serious desktop contender for most people, so Microsoft is just in second place - and it's not that distant yet, since the Apple transition has just started.

I think market evidence points to the contrary. The Raspberry Pi is a fully fledged Linux Desktop, it's running and marketed with full fledged desktop software. Last I checked 25 million units have been sold.

It's use/sales far outstrips Windows RT or Surface Pro X which from what I know are the only current uses for Windows on ARM.

So yes I think Windows is in a clear 3rd place on ARM architectures.
Requirements are 1 in each bedroom and 1 in the hallway outside each bedroom. That adds up quickly.

Where I live, that's the minimum required by law, networked device or not. So it's not surprising that Nest requires it.

But you're right — that does add up quickly when converting from technology that's worked for 130 years to the SV "disruptor" version.

This is something I don't get. Once I've clicked on an ad, the company has all my information to correlate with other databases they bought from someone other than Google, right? It takes me to their website, where they fingerprint my browser, drop cookies, etc. How is that materially different than Google selling them my info? If I interact with it in any way, they get all my info. (And in fact, with ads that include Javascript, do they even need me to interact with the ad?) This seems like a distinction without a difference to me.
> > “I think C++ can do anything Rust can do, and I would like it to be much simpler to use.”

> I think Bjarne isn't getting the issue with C++.

In my opinion, put succinctly, the issue with C++ is that it can do things that Rust can't. And, as it turns out, most of the things that it can do over Rust aren't important for solving problems (one of those things is explicit memory management).

> Rust people [...] accuse [...] stolen

There is something that many developers struggle with, and it seems to be cropping up here. You are not your work, folks. Go back and honestly look at your very old code, it's probably not good, it's probably not good at all. There's no reason to be ashamed of that, because your work is not your identity.

If your work becomes your identity, you lose the ability to critique your own work objectively (biologically/psychologically), which really impedes your ability to improve your work.
Used to work for makers of the dirtbox. I would hope anyone curious about this issue also spends a lot of time digging into those devices as well.
Understood but think pets and of children who could later carry it to you.
Why don’t you show us what your clarity looks like, instead of merely hinting of the secret knowledge you have?
And I'm over here wishing I could pay an extra $350 to get a Pixel 5 with a headphone jack. To me, the Pixel 4a is pretty much a headphone jack with a free low-powered smartphone attached. Haha.
Yeah, it feels like "damned if you do, damned if you don't". Folks would complain "why can't I buy a simple phone like the 6!" if Apple only sold the latest and greatest, but then when you sell something older, folks want to complain if it's not able to run the latest OS.

Not that Apple's being altruistic here, obviously they want to segment the market and get money from wherever they can. But, can't expect them to sell low price point devices that are as future-proofed (future-resisted?) as top end hardware.

Many small businesses have signed personal guarantees on their commercial leases, meaning that landlords will come after them even after they've closed.

Restaurants for example will often have 5-10 year lease terms.
This diatribe has nothing to do with what we’re discussing.
This is a bit of an outdated view on Coronavirus though. The whole point is that “airborne” isn’t black and white (which is how the WHO has treated it) and is more of a spectrum. A large number of scientists have been lobbying the WHO to get them to talk about it as airborne because it’s not just heavy droplets like people thought in the beginning. And there’s real concern that viral load can build up in poorly ventilated spaces. Which is why it’s a good idea to spend as little time in closed public spaces as possible, and why Fauci suggests that if you’re someone who needs to avoid it at all costs, then goggles are probably a good idea.

Alpaca (YC W19) Launched First Trading Competition
Why do you believe that?

People constantly complained US corps extracted too much profit, and get too much recession from the government.

The government recession part is less noticeable, because Chinese people are not informed anyway.

Like TESLA's shanghai factories. It's common that people complained "I can be as successful as Elon, if I got the same support from the government"...
There's one key paragraph buried in the article that will help a lot of people:

> However, to date, there is also no evidence of truly long-range transmission of COVID-19, or any pattern of spread like that of measles. Screaming “it’s airborne!” can give the wrong impression to an already weary and panicked public, and that’s one reason that some public-health specialists have been understandably wary of the term, sometimes even if they agreed aerosol transmission was possible. Cowling told me that it’s better to call these “short-range aerosols,” as that communicates the nature of the threat more accurately: Most of these particles are concentrated around the infected person, but, under the right circumstances, they can accumulate and get around.

Translation: people can get infected further away than with larger droplets -- especially in stuffy, enclosed environments -- but distance still reduces the risks.
I didn't finish it either, but mostly because of lack of time. However, I was also having an almost visceral reaction to his aversion to regulation, because I was comparing it to the situation that I know in some European countries and his claims seemed to clash with what I knew.

I wouldn't dismiss the book just because of that, but it did make the lecture rather difficult because it was challenging my assumptions and knowledge quite strongly. I guess that's good :-)

I like Ha-Joon Chang's "Economics: The User's Guide" as an introduction to economics. It's understandable, it has plenty of references and is written in a pleasant tone.
He opposed Trump in the primaries, like many conservatives, and supported him in the general, like most conservatives.

Supporting Trump isn't some weird mark of shame or anything; it's not my point that he's worth dismissing because he tolerates Donald Trump. Rather: he's worth dismissing because he has practically no interesting perspectives. He's a US-style right wing conservative in the most conventional possible sense. That doesn't make him a bad person, but it does make him a weird topic for an HN discussion.

Later

You expanded your comment (which is fine, so did I!) and I just want to say: I'm not so much interested in debating the merits of Sowell's positions --- which would make for a boring political argument --- so much as just recognizing that he has them, and that they're the standard-issue intellectual uniform of 1990s American conservativism.

If you want to rebut the point I'm making, I think the most effective way to do so would be to spot some position Sowell has taken that is far outside the mainstream of the Hoover Institution. Then we'd be discussing what makes Sowell interesting, rather than relitigating the most boring debate in American politics.
Cars, watches, boats, houses, jewelry, (expensive outliers of) vacations.

All of them have cheaper, equally functional equivalents, but people very conspicuously overpay for more than they need with all of them.
This works both way. Another study in France asked by associations about anonymous résumé was made. The surprising result was that with anonymous ones, the non-white people were discriminated more. Why? Because more often than not, when a recruiter was looking at a foreign sounding name, he was more lenient about gap-year, not-the-best-school etc. So in the end the idea of imposing anonymous résumé was ditched.
These low-level systems can be good attack vectors, on our computer systems if you can attack the BIOS (Intel ME or AMD PSP) it doesn't matter much what defenses the operating system has.

Luckily, most of our computers aren't easily remotely connectable, but phone modems are another story.
The Complex Variability of Climate
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
