He's saying that if the economic gains where wiped out, then blacks and whites should have had equal economic standing after the war. But we all know that didn't happen, which is why he posed that question.
I would add a few considerations (related to Italy), however.

1) there has been a multiplication of faculties/courses, some of which are almost if not entirely "fluff" (when compared to the "classic" universities/courses).

2) the "initial" bar for entering the job market has been progressively raised (on essentially meaningless metrics such as the UNI career/grades), once (think of the 70's and 80's) there was a lot more jobs and very little amount of graduates, so having a degree was almost the same as having the possibility of a job guaranteed, now that there are so many graduates and so little jobs, having a degree is the very basic requirement[1], the degree grading starts to matter.

3) Additionally to the above, since the graduated cannot easily (or quickly enough) find a proper job, they continue studying and stages and masters are added to the curriculum, and age for a first job increases.

4) It is of course not the fault of the students, often good willing and what not but increasingly we have not-so-young people with a (largely unneeded) theorical knowledge that enter the job market too late and either with too many expectations (because they actually studied hard and for years) or with too little ones (because they "survived" on gig works or were underpaid for years).

About the level of education, there are however some serious problems IMHO (I perfectly know that I sound like an old grumpy bastard, but actually I am an old, grumpy bastard).

In my times there were simple "rules":

1) at the end of elementary school you should be able to make no grammar/spelling error when writing

2) at the end of middle school you should be able to additionally make no grammar/logic error when writing

3) you had all five years in high school to refine on the above two key points

4) when (if) you went to the university grammar, logical construction and more generally properly speaking, reading, understanding and writing in Italian were not a problem anymore.

Nowadays it is not so uncommon that people graduated from the university have difficulties in writing without some spelling errors (particularly accents and apostrophes), and in talking with verb conjugations and pronoums.

[1] There is also an economical - reversed - incentive. There is in practice very little cost difference for a firm between hiring a graduate from university and someone coming from a high school, even technical ones, so, for roughly the same cost (think of a difference for the firm Euro 100-200 more per month) the firm has all the interest in hiring someone which at least on paper has more knowledge and at least in theory is more mature.
Leases seem like the worst aspect of this, at least a return flight is only half a month's rent (one would hope).

I agree that you are correct about this, even here in Boston we've just got so many colleges that even if the one I work at has no problems Boston in general seems likely to have a big enough uptick that it will impact everyone. That's a lot of students traveling here by plane all at once and even if they're quarantining when they arrive I bet their parents aren't...
This is an unproductive interpretation of "living without tech giants". Yes, if you decide to ban all major cloud providers from your live, including everything they host, you are going to have a hard time. But it is foolish to give up that easily.

Let's say I want to ban Google from my live and I ditch my GMail account. Thinking along the lines of this author I would not be done. Actually I would not be able to have an email account at all anymore, because there are other people who are still on GMail and they might mail me and then I would be "infected." And therefore I would better just keep my GMail.

This is nonsense, of course. You're better of without GMail and Google and the others. You can't get all there in one day, but it is certainly worth it to take as much steps as you can.
You can easily argue the walled garden is for their user's common good, which it is. Less malware, safer experience, easier to use for less technically savvy people.

> Apple saying that I'm not allowed to step outside their walled garden on a device I own is restricting my freedom.

Only if there is no remediation - there is. Buy an android and quit moaning. "Freedoms." Laughable. Belarus is shooting people and you're mad because you can't force a company to do what you want when the free market can easily solve the problem.
We are going back to AOL days. That didn’t work out so well for AOL in the long run. It’s kind of crazy to me you can’t do marketing now without at least discussing Google and Facebook these days.

Edit: at least you knew you were the customer with AOL and paid them with clear terms for access.
> The answer is still the same, things need to evolve if it gives meaning and give improved user experience and value.

I don't think critics disagree with this notion. Rather they disagree that the bloat gives meaning/improved user experience/value. It admits the existence of incompetence and perverse incentives. The latter seems like a natural consequence of profit-driven development when user satisfaction is only loosely and partially tied to profit.
Anyone buying Firefox will make the project instantly irrelevant. It’s not a product, it’s a community. Let alone a predatory, USA based company like amazon.
Sorry, but no. That is a deletion request. The GDPR tells you exactly what to do once such a request is made. There is no such thing as a 'specific GDPR deletion request'.
I wouldn't like it of course, but the consumer would win, and it wouldn't be right to sic the government on them because I get outcompeted. Government shouldn't be doing any favors for business, big or small.
It's not a wacky far-out conspiracy theory to notice that Google is attempting to dominate the internet. It's a serious problem that we need to do something about before it's too late.
Not the person you've replied to, but I've found that the observation of consistent progress (in terms of the weights you're capable of lifting, etc) is a big hook.

I haven't lifted in a while, but I've done marathon training before and the hook is quite related. Each week, if you push yourself hard enough, you will make more or less linear progress.

Just like running, the first 2-3 weeks of regular lifting are a big slog to get through, but then your body starts learning/adapting, you start demonstrably and rapidly improving, and it becomes fun.
Stanford cancelling on-campus education definitely feels like a major bellwether. It's hard to think of any school better positioned to make it work. Not just because of its wealth and elite status, but because the climate is so aggressively warm and non-rainy, and the spacious campus absolutely has the space (though perhaps not the seating/tables, at least initially) to accommodate all-outdoor classes and activities.
I know this replicates the sentiment expressed by other in this thread but still: Go does not do away with the need for front end servers for deployed end products.

And so the eventual proxying Go behind Nginx or Apache comes with it's own cost since Go is nowhere near as tested as PHP when it comes to server integration.
Maritime law has been super weak historically.

There are basically no repercussions at all unless people get hurt.

Even if the company itself gets fined, they'll simply declare bankruptcy, close up shop and sell their assets to a new company (often incidentally run by the same people).

> It was originally supposed to eventually replace Gecko, but last I heard they had shifted to simply moving the more stable parts into Firefox with Quantum.

Those don't sound like incompatible approaches. The monolith Gecko would be difficult to replace whole hog, a modular surgical approach seems more realistic.
I think a bigger problem is fear mongering like this without providing sources or data to back it up. People have become distrustful in general because frankly it's exhausting figuring out what is true and what isn't.

The pay differential between CEO's and workers in the US is larger than that in the Netherlands, which is larger than that in Germany.

In general, high earners earn more in the US, which includes both CEO's and SWE (but the point about how easy it is to fire people and about inequality was more general, not specifically about SWE).
The premise “browsers are as powerful as OSes” is dubious.

“Why do you need OSes” is something I would expect from someone who does not know how a computer works.

Whilst they should probably be tweaked, address bars are central to the web as it is currently.

Google should stay as far as possible from me and has no business telling me it approves of the sites I am browsing.

I did not downvote the post, but there is no sentence in it that does not make me regret having read it.

This is a feature, not a bug. Really this speaks to the entire post; as these aren't "quirks". It has a side effect of blocking the "Hero Programmer".
The comparison isn't completely valid.

Satisfactory is not yet released, and still in Early Access.

Factorio was in EA and enjoyable by 2016.

The Factorio team has slowly grown to its current size - for a few years it was just one or two people and no funding.

Coffeestain was a fully formed team with some funding.
This is not how it works. A deletion request is all that it takes. The difference here is between what you think the requirements are and what they really are. As an engineering manager for a major payment service provider you should know better and it is disturbing that you do not.
I hate to say it, but yeah that's kind of the point of kubernetes deployments (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/de...). Or openshift for more UI and "out of the box" experience.

You deal with all the headache of making your app stateless with a predictable API so that you can reap the benefits of a system like k8s, which can automatically manage all of it for you.

Similarly i'm a bit confused by your comment about SSH dying... in k8s you configure a readiness/liveness probe and behavior when the probe starts to fail. If SSH is an important thing for a given container, maybe the "liveness" probe is the command "ps aux |grep sshd". Then if it dies, the container can be pruned automatically.
Believing that you know me based on a few sentences you read online is pretty naive, to be honest.

WebOS used WebKit last time I checked.
> What is an “inactive” image?

> An inactive image is a container image that has not been either pushed or pulled from the image repository in 6 or months.

>

> How can I view the status of my images

> All images in your Docker Hub repository have a “Last pushed” date and can easily be accessed in the Repositories view when logged into your account. A new dashboard will also be available in Docker Hub that offers the ability to view the status of all of your container images.

That still does not tell the whole story, does it? I still don't know if my image have been pulled for the last six months. Only when I pushed it.
> You aren't doing business with Amazon by visiting a site hosted on AWS

But think the other way, if you don't support them, you should avoid sites using them _and communicate so_.
"No sorry, I won't, that's an amazon IP."
I have long felt like containers, and VMs before then, have been abused to the point of absurdity. Most of the primary reasons for people jumping to them are already sufficiently solved problems.

* Resource and process isolation -> capability-based security

* Dependency management conflict resolution -> nix / guix style package management

* Cluster orchestration and monitoring -> ansible, salt, chef, puppet, etc.

If you need all of those things at the same time, maybe containers are the right choice. But I hate the fact that the first thing we do when we run into a pip package conflict is to jump to the overhead of containerization.
I hate to be all like "to be fair" but wouldn't it have been even worse if they'd waited until after she moved there and then sent her home and made her move twice instead of canceling a move once?

Do you mean they're still having in-person classes required but are just not offering housing? That's definitely scummy, that's the kind of thing that would have changed people's admission acceptance decisions.
I don't think you can really compare both of these games... both are about building factories, but that's it. Factorio is another world of complexity comparing to Satisfactory
Not only did I not know that a non-profit could wholly own a for-profit, not only did I not know that they could share executive leadership, I certainly did not know this was the case for Mozilla.
Ask HN: How old is the CD command?
I've been reading up on the history of the terminal and how it influenced what we have and use today and I came up with a cool question - how old are most of the commands we take for granted.
They are transferring economic losses to the students/parent
When you load a webpage or an app that's hosted on AWS you give Amazon a lot of information about your browser, location, etc. They could very easily aggregate all of the AWS services you load things from to build a very detailed profile about you. If Amazon were being nefarious they could inspect the data in the packets you send across their network.

Using a site that's hosted on AWS === doing business with Amazon. It's just a very one-sided relationship where they get a ton of useful data and you get to load a JS app.
I remember both my grandmothers cooking and I don't remember either of them speaking about food processors or say pressure cookers in terms of "miracles". Both grew up and learned to cook at a time when such niceties where not available. I myself cook most of my food in simple pots and pans with simple utensils no different than what would have been available even a thousand years ago. Ovens are another matter- but even there, the variation between different modern ovens (e.g. how quickly they reach a certain temperature) means that experience with a particular oven is much more important than precision.

So I think "miracle breakthroughs" is an exaggeration. Those are things that are more "nice to have" than "absolutely indispensible".

If I wanted to admit to an exception- I've made mayonnaise by hand and by hand mixer. The former is a pain in the ass and takes a lot longer. Even so, having made it by hand I understand how the ingredients work together so I know what to do with the hand mixer. Which is not something you can know if you've always made it with a mixer. So you're actually losing something with too much technology in cooking, so I think anyway.
Over the years I've learned to do this very rarely. However, I'm not the lone wolf in the woods, I also have other developers working for me. I can talk to them however long I want and motivate them to debug locally to understand the problem, but in the end they have to gain some experience with their own pain. I would prefer that their experience gaining would be faster, so it would cost me less money :)
The App Store didn't exist before iOS, it was created for it. It is not a separate product.

None of these questions get you anywhere. You made the claim that hardware was why people upgraded - which is false because of the diversity of the market and the fact that the hardware is only a portal to what they want. You haven't dealt with the argument - that the App Store is a separate product from an iPhone. It isn't.

No, containerized applications is a fraction of what AWS offers. It comprises only beanstalk, ecs and eks as far as I know. What I am tracing is a reference between expiring skill -- cloud specific -- and permanent skill -- cloud agnostic.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say this might actually be a good thing for people who are looking for domains.

But also a great thing for google as they are going to reinforce searching instead of typing in a domain.

AFAIK a SSH CA can be a good solution for this.

Yeah we do. Nuclear, solar, wind. If you absolutely can't do something without releasing carbon (concrete and air travel are an example that comes to mind), you use carbon-free energy to suck CO2 from the air and sequester it. That just costs money.
Okta (scale-ft) at work, evaluated gravitational teleport in the past.

In the past (company with <1000 employees), I set up nss-cache and a saltstack system on a timer to regularly deploy new keys from LDAP (we used bastion hosts to control for any dangers of config drift and I wanted zero SPOFs during steady state). I would say this is the least likely to fail under all scenarios and is therefore the best choice unless it is somehow untenable (large number of employees, or extremely dynamic user creation/deletion)

This nutrition difference sounds very exaggerated, can you point me to a paper or something?
> Vote with your choices (use a different browser).

You almost don't even have to. Microsoft's Edge is basically a rebranded Chrome with all of the Google stuff stripped out. You can keep using the same extensions, etc.
Valid point.

Weird in its own way. White is a skin tone, Asian is a geographic location.

Defending either definition would be an exercise in absurdity and I'm not even going to try.

Where is this the most true? I would imaging there is more trade worker scarcity in some places than others.
I went to college for IT in 2000 and got to learn lots of this first hand. One important bit of history following was the introduction of Google Chrome. Up until then IE6 was making our lives quite difficult, and Chrome broke the MS inertia with it's standards support and silent updates in a way Firefox had been unable to achieve.
US health insurers doubled profits in second quarter amid pandemic
>I fully expect a notable outbreak in some college to start a wave of media, followed by all the universities sending everyone back home again.

If you are referring to the USA, I disagree. Unless the local county health departments or states require schools to go virtual, I don't see it.

If a large public university experiences an outbreak, I don't think they will go virtual until someone dies. I do not think large private schools will go virtual unless the government requires it.

The USA has no centralized method of handling the pandemic, so each state is making their own rules and guidelines. We have professional sports teams playing outside bubbles and many college football programs are continuing.

Many school districts outside urban areas are opening and seeing outbreaks, but continue to stay open. As a country, we blew it and seem to have decided to go about this piecemeal.

I hope your son and your family stay well.

How? At best it can take pictures of part of your face. And usually there's a screen inside that headset. Don't you have the exact same problem of needing a camera to be in the middle of the screen? But now it's even worse because the other person's eyes could be anywhere on the screen as you move your head.

Edit: Oh, you have a link now. So it's going to render a fake head based on eye tracking? You can do that without VR!

That is the cost of these employees to their employer ("fully loaded"). The fully loaded cost is typically about twice the employee's nominal compensation, which would be ~$113k. This is about 60% of entry level comp at a FAANG company and about 35% of mid-career comp. [1]

Mozilla employs a lot of people who are willing to work under market rate to do a job they believe in, but I doubt they would be able to get and retain the people they need if they offered substantially less.

I still don't agree with the removal of URLs, but I do still recommend watching the entire video if you want to get more perspective on the issue (beyond just the conspiracy theories about AMP and control).
Hmm. Most browsers use the webkit rendering engine internally. The problem is that browser engines are huge and require a lot of developers to maintain. I think the worst thing that could happen here is to have Firefox die, and we'd be that much closer to a webkit monoculture.
The question "what it is slang for" is different from the question "what is the word derived from". The prior may well change if everyone has a group delusion and believes it is slang for something different. The latter obviously not.
I imagine that's because "freshmen" is problematic in $CURRENT_YEAR, but it sounds too weird to say "freshpeople" so they went with the existing slang of "frosh."

Newly remote here. I'm a "Sr. BI Programmer Analyst" working in Walnut Creek, CA paying about $2,700/month for an apartment. I plan to move to Pittsburgh, PA and move in with my little brother into his newly purchased house where I'll make more money due to much lower state income tax and rent that will fairly be about a third of what I pay now.

The motivating factors for me are money and family (though I would argue that my brother more importantly means friendship to me).
