I would rate this as "partly true".

We don't have a rabid pro-worker EEOC, we have an EEOC that is notoriously hard to convince of anything and that process itself requires production of evidence, so when the EEOC makes a determination, that is not just "an accusation", it is the result of a fact-finding process by a third party expert. It is true that an EEOC finding of fact is not the same as a judicial process and it will be ultimately decided by courts, but let's not minimize what has been accomplished here.

Some details from the paper:
- The paper studies colleges that offer a three-year undergraduate course in arts and science (no engineering or medicine). So, extrapolating this for IIT/NIT vs non-IITs is just argumentative with no data points.

- The statistical data did not survey students who managed to secure a seat in an elite public college using reservation quota.

- The sample data is from admission cohorts a couple of decades ago (1999 - 2002).

- The detailed in-person survey was done only in urban areas during 2011-2012 time frame.

- Data sample:
* Initial survey request sent - 1981
* Actual surveyed - 1506 (76%)
* Either self-employed or salaried - 748 (49% of surveyed)
* Final data sample - 439 (58% of employed)
# public colleges - 190 observations
# private colleges - 249 observations

- The entire analysis (and the claim) is made comparing the outcomes of students at the margin of admission (around admission cut-offs). So, if a student secured top score and entered into a public college and gets a top dollar salary, the author weakly attributes it to better learning environment.

I have observed that people who lack empathy have completely different world view than mine. Ever seen the most beautiful masterpiece on YouTube being disliked by some people? I think people disliking where majority likes are the ones lacking empathy. In your case, a person saying why biodiversity should matter probably lacks empathy as well which could also be the reason they never watched those documentaries in first place because why care?

The point is people see world differently because of some fundamental differences in genetics & childhood nurturing.

I've seen it spun as a move away from the legacy stack into the new modern architecture. Of course the legacy stack programmers have a suspicious common element.

Also, of course, 2-3-5 years later the legacy stack is still what keeps the business running while all the new shiny toys have come and gone.

I had a boss who came over, asked me what was working on and then looked me in the eye and said, firmly and deliberately, "So you are working on transitioning to the new architecture". I shrugged, said "I guess", and he left. Only later did I realize that he was saving my hide.
IIRC the institutions distributing debit cards (banks, credit unions, whatever the heck PayPal is, etc) will often 'voluntarily' give you effectively the same protections as for credit cards at their discretion because they want you to have and use those cards and the benefit they get through transaction fees, etc. outweighs the cost of the fraud that happens.

Details are likely spelled out in the multipage 5-pt text pamphlet that you received with a new debit card at some point.

This is not a simple redirection. cmd <(subcmd) is a bashism that redirects the output of command subcmd to something that looks like a regular file to command cmd. Command cmd receive a path at the place the <(subcmd) syntax is used. Different from cmd < f, which redirects the contents of file f to cmd's input.

So, this should work :-)
That's true. However, I think the phrase "completely free" is misleading since the truth is that it's free until you accidentally use too much--which isn't something you have all that much control over if you're hosting a static website on S3.

Why Coming Up with Effective Interventions to Address Covid-19 Is So Hard
For me it's all about experience. Finding chances to do something interesting related to a project. That's basically how I learn anything -- find a useful project that uses the new thing I want to learn. If I'm lucky, the project is at work and there are a lot of resources to go big.

In my mind there are two types of expertise: learning something that exists or making something new.

I've always done the second: find an opportunity to do something new, deep dive on it and figure it out, and then you are the expert by default. Then it's just a matter of keeping up on the state of the art while everyone else starts doing what you're doing but does it better than you.

Show HN: News Monitoring API
Hi all, this is the side project that I am currently working on. Datanews Monitoring API gathers hundreds of thousands news articles per day and allows you to easily monitor them for keywords you are interested in. Essentially, I see several main use cases here, such as keyword tracking, discovering new trends, gathering general statistics about news segments of interest (e.g. finding stats about authors), collecting large amount of news articles for data analysis or ML training. The retrieved articles also contain all metadata with them, like url, description, title, authors, image url, etc. There is also a client library for it, so you could get a grasp of the API in several lines of code. I would appreciate any comments/suggestions/problems about the service or maybe about a problem you have, that this service could probably help you in solving. Thank you!

The difference between 2 years and 5 is quite significant for server runtime above water. This argument of diminishing returns would hold better for placing it 1 year rather than 2, 9 months rather than 12, etc.

If the concern is that you'd see significant failure after 5 (which is likely) which could undercut your future plans, I could understand cutting the plan short.

I'm really confused what problem this solves...? I think it's just supposed to stop de-queuing nodes when it's seen every node in the graph, but the time to calculate V isn't accounted for, won't some form of BFS need to be run in order to count the number of vertices in the input graph, so any time benefits will be trivial.

>> How do people become experts?

By leveraging your academic credentials, legal authority and social connections to promote an agenda (e.g. corporate agenda) through carefully crafted lies which intelligent people in your field cannot easily disprove but which the masses will openly embrace because it aligns with their primal incentives.

It's about being able to bypass people's logic and reasoning skills and appealing to their underlying primal instincts; namely their need to feel safe, to feel accepted, to acquire resources, etc...

The main role of experts is to give people a false sense of certainty and safety.
>what is the direct ecological impact of doing this at scale

Great question. Without real data it's hard to know for sure. I do think that it would be somewhat negligible though.

Considering we have heat vents and underwater volcanoes in the ocean that kick out insane amounts of heat, I can't see datacenters having a ton of impact. Will it affect the immediate vicinity, probably. Will it affect the ocean at large, I doubt it. Unless we start sinking exaflops of CPU power into the ocean, I wouldn't worry too much.

Ask HN: When will HN implement dark mode?
Months ago there was a popular thread [1] regarding dark mode on HN. Dang was open to the idea, asked for suggestions, and many seemingly good ones were shared.

It seems like it would be very easy to exploit this. Either get your own card terminal or if you know a small business with wireless terminals (Square, PayPal, etc) ask them to borrow one and split the money. Then just keep both the card and terminal around and do a transaction as soon as the notification arrives.
Sure, but there’s different degrees, from a little inspiration to an outright copy.

In this case, I think it’s far towards the copy-end. If you presented a case of OnePlus Buds to the average consumer as Apple AirPods, would they know the difference? I doubt it.
Cells don't have self-awareness. You need brains for that. Just because something acts purposeful and goal-directed doesn't make it self-aware, unless you think a Roomba is self-aware.

But you're right, cells are must more complex than our intuition often gives them credit for. But the time you get to a bacterium, fully 50% of the basic biomechanics of life are already in place. In fact, you can think of yourself as little more than a colony of specialized "bacteria" that self-organized into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, not at all unlike the way humans self-organize into groups (tribes, city-states, nation-states, corporations) that are greater than the sum of their parts.

Not really. But the general impression from the piece is that he has various less-quantified reasons for wanting more people back to the office and slacker younger workers does seem like a convenient excuse -- especially if there's some truth to it (which is entirely possible). FWIW, if I were in my twenties at this time, I'm not sure I would trust myself to keep plugging away.

Facebook Quest 2 Leaked

I tend to agree, but there may be another angle to this which could prove beneficial to consumers. Right now, the only ARM chips which are actually competitive with desktop chips are from Apple, and are obviously very proprietary. If this acquisition enables Nvidia to begin producing ARM chips at the same level as Apple (somehow, who's to say how, that's on them) then that would help disrupt the AMD/Intel duopoly on Windows. Its been a decade; Qualcomm has had the time to try and compete here, and has failed miserably.

I doubt Nvidia would substantially disrupt or cancel licensing to the many third-rate chip designers you listed. But, if they can leverage this acquisition to build Windows/Linux CPUs that can actually compete with AMD and Intel, that would be a win for consumers. And Nvidia has shown interest in this in the past.

Yes, its a massive disruption to the status quo. But it may be a good one for consumers.

The amount of doublethink required to look at Biden and think cognitive decline when faced with Trump is so bizarre to me.

Biden has done long form podcasts and speeches, I've listened to them - he's not as sharp as he was but he's fine. He's a terrible public speaker, but he's fine.

Trump is also not a gibbering wreck, but - even ignoring the bleach comment - he cannot remember pertinent details from his briefings (Swan interview), he gives away extremely damaging information about himself on the phone to a reporter who he knows despises him (Woodward). He seems to have little to no control over his own actions. I could be more aggressive and cite the Daily Show's compilation of trump looking lost "Where's Rudy" and confused.

The whole reason why they are pushing the sleepy Joe line is because everything the Donald is accused of, they fling back mirrored against the opponent. Donald Trump, ever since his Nuclear speech, has been accused of being mentally deficient so that's their play.

I use jet all the time when I need to quickly examine a json snippet in Emacs. I would use <C-u M-|> (shell-command-on-region with a prefix) and execute jet to convert selected json part to EDN.

I guess I'm a glass-half-full type of person after all, then! This story is horrifying to me. Apparently it's possible to be indefinitely kept in what I can only imagine must be sheer hell, with no way out, and fully aware you're probably looking at decades of suffering. This man lucked out. How many others are supposedly vegetative but actually aware right now?

I suppose the odds are it's not a large number, but still. Time to find out what kind of paperwork I need to file to stop this happening to me.

I know the white blood cell animation you are talking about.

White blood cells are not self-aware. It might be helpful to picture cells (and even large animals) not as the discrete objects that are seen by the naked eye, but rather as a cloud of "stuff". In the middle is the meat; on the outside is various liquids, particles, and gases that leak out. So, the white blood cell isn't keeping an eye on the bacteria and chasing it. It's increasing contact with the "stuff" that it recognizes as foreign.
> The K1 tablet was Nvidia trying to get rid of a bunch chips they were unable to sell.

Based on... what? The only reason there wasn't an X1 tablet was because of the exclusive deal with Nintendo.

I don't see Qualcomm out there making phones because they make far more money extorting others. If they didn't have the ability to push their patent portfolio down the throats of anyone who wants to make a phone that can actually connect to a cellular network, they would absolutely be making their own handsets.

Good question!

GDPR is about giving users control and visibility over their personal data and controlling personally identifiable information.

Grouparoo is an open source app that runs in your own infrastructure (AWS, etc) and it does segmentation of users. The effect of that is that less info leaves your world and goes to third parties. For example, you used to send an address and lifetime value to Braze so that you could make a “high value Bay Area customers” group over there. Now you keep that in house.

On top of that, whatever information is leaving now has a chokepoint, so you can stop sending a user to Braze (and everywhere else) if that is the requirement or return all the information about them easily if that is the ask.
