The way I read the GP post it’s more “the way economics are structured strongly incentivized them to engage in this behavior.” which is more a statement about how pressure and incentives work on humans than anything racist. I doubt that people in the US would react differently to the same incentives.

Comparing the raw GDP of the US in the 1950s to India now is glossing over a lot of points. For example, GDP per capita does not capture the (in)equality of wealth distribution in a country. Or how that GDP ranks on a scale: The US in the 1950s was in a high, probably even the top position (I didn’t check exactly which) - India with the same GDP now is definitely not. That makes a huge difference in perception.

It’s easy to dismiss the status value of a brand name piece of clothing or any token that elevates your status if you’re already high up on the ladder.

None of that excuses the behavior in the sense that it makes it “ok”. But it contributes to the explanation of why such behavior clusters in specific communities.

For me, that I’m ahead, it’s easy to look down and say that this is unethical behavior, but it’s important to keep in mind that I’m applying my ethics from a privileged vantage point - and likely you’re doing so as well.
Sugar is cheap calories and cheap "tasty", so junk food will have a lot of it. For me, also an immigrant, lots of US foods are too sweet and some sweets are plain intolerable for being oversugared (yes, cake or pastry is supposed to be sweet, but not that sweet, there should be a balance!)

But sugar is a cheap way to make something feel tasty, especially to an unsophisticated taste, and people get addicted to it. I know because I was a sugar addict once. I drank liters of cola, and ate tons of junk food. And then when my blood sugar started to approach the red zone, I stopped and now I avoid added sugar foods at all, except an occasional pastry once in a while. And it does change how you taste things. The cheap high of added sugar is replaced with rich gamut of actual food taste.
Measles is an RNA virus. Vaccine essentially lasts forever. Ditto on hep A.

Why do you think that the flu being an RNA virus is the reason that you need a new vaccine every year? I'm pretty sure that is not the reason.

In order to grow into this valuation, snowflake will need to become the biggest data warehouse company ever. They have a great product and that will probably happen! But you need to be highly confident of the best case scenario happening to buy at the current price.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm curious about your approach. I expected that, as you're targeting kids, you'd start with something like 'hello world' before going into the distinction between high-level languages and assembly.

Do most of the kids you teach understand and recall the things you mention in the introductory/foundational videos?

(I have almost no experience teaching kids to code.)
A ton of sandwiches? Worldwide? That would be a ridiculously small amount, there must be many tons of sandwiches of any type.

I haven't seen or heard anything about them improving the quality of their meats. But, if you think they're good I have very good reason to believe you don't know what quality meat is.

I have raised and butchered cows, pigs, and chickens. I can assure you what I've produced is far superior to Subway. That's why I won't eat their stuff anymore.

Because it’s going to suck when the oil runs out.
They always have the choice to not do the work. You just don't show up and that's it. Not doing something is the easiest thing to do.

The protest is about trying someone else to do something.
Well that's fucked up, but to what extent does that apply to Ontario?
We do very similar things.

Works great.
I think the biggest problem you're going to run into is that there are very few people assigned to maintaining old systems, and it's quite hard to get these issues brought to anyone's attention. The ones I mentioned only got fixed because they crept up to the top most common causes of crashes.

A bug report would be the first thing I'd want for something like this - in addition to logcat info it includes a bunch of process information, and apps can add custom data to the report. It'd also be nice to know anything to narrow down when the problem started - whatever bounds you can provide on when you were last absolutely certain it was up to date and working, plus your best guess. Someone's going to have to dig a Galaxy Note 3 out of a drawer somewhere, go into the archives of old Play Store versions, and try installing them until they find the version that broke it, so anything that makes that binary search process less terrible would be a start.
Yeah, I came in here thinking this was about seat law changes leading to less conception in cars.
Out-of-the-box thought: wouldn't it be easier to artificially introduce a 5-second delay before their games (presumably even more memory-heavy than a browser with one empty tab) start until they realize that spam-clicking makes things worse?
As far as I know, quantum supremacy has been unequivocally demonstrated, albeit not on a very interesting problem, and of course without solving the quantum error correction problem:

https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=4372
I read through the underlying paper, and I don't quite understand their methodology. It seems like they're taking a bucketload of demographic information and then trying to control for every other possible factor that could affect fertility rates to isolate the effect of car seat laws. I'm skeptical that it's even possible to control for all of those variables. Even assuming that they perfectly model the factors they do account for, it's perfectly possible that there are more underlying factors.

Additionally, interpreting the results as t-statistics doesn't really tell us very much, as the variation between model and reality could easily be noise from the control variables rather than from a relationship between car seat laws and fertility.

I'm not saying the paper doesn't have any merit at all--I think the idea is quite interesting. I am just skeptical of inferring anything from the results, given that the methodology is very poorly described (and is so error-prone).
"Multigrain" is the most confusing term. A bread can have more than one type of grain and still not be whole-grain. Most multigrain breads in the US that are also whole-grain will specifically say so.

The Whole Grains Council (which created the Whole Grain Stamp icon used on the labels of US food products) has a guide for determining which words refer to whole-grain foods, and which do not:

There’s a whole ecosystem of alternatives that have sprung up I have a feeling you haven’t tried (not MVVM or anything like that). Without appealing to any of them you aren’t convincing.

Even within the frontend world and not in React you have all sorts of new state systems and structures that are in my opinion far more intuitive, less code, less cross cutting concerns, easier to change and grow more naturally. The gist of it is either a global state store with cursors and namespaces (I like this less than most) or a global state system with state split out (see Recoil) or an entirely tree based reactive state system (see mobx-state-tree or mobx-store) or even just nesting reducers or any simple nesting state container (pure react, zustand). I’ve recently put together gqless[0] with a state system similar to recoil but simpler (sort of like use-atom). It’s wonderful.

Your data is a tree/graph, you app is a tree, your file system is a tree, everything matches. You just slot in state with corresponding actions and at the level of the view hierarchy where it first becomes relevant (router at top, view controllers are spread in the middle layers however needed, and leafs get their own state as needed). And all data level things stay up in the graph, which I guess you could argue is an M sitting above it all, the VC are blurred together with more C at the top of the tree and pure V at the leafs. Even styling is all encapsulated where it’s used. Each piece is a lego block that can be moved around. And yes, it works, and works well, even without all the handlebars of Rails.

Wouldn’t dream of going back. It’s perhaps not a mature enough ecosystem for most to navigate their way to getting a good DX on a stack like that. Many pieces have rough edges if you don’t know what to avoid, it’s not like these huge mature frameworks that keep you away from scary stuff but also box you into a rigid structure. But of course it means you can do all sorts of things unimaginable in MVC land.
> We estimate that these laws prevented only 57 car crash fatalities of children nationwide in 2017

That cannot be properly evaluated without considering second and additional order effects, like everyone driving huge SUVs to fit these child seats. All else is never equal.

> western society has a problem of "safety at any cost"

No, I think just America. Europe isn't so safety crazed.

For instance, it's common for Europeans not to wear bicycle helmets.
Which just brings us back to linear again
> We estimate that these laws prevented only 57 car crash fatalities of children nationwide in 2017. Simultaneously, they led to a permanent reduction of approximately 8,000 births in the same year, and 145,000 fewer births since 1980, with 90% of this decline being since 2000

Ironic... but a would-be birth vs. loss of life in an accident are immeasurably different things; incomparable.

As an slightly off-topic aside, I live in a rural area of Japan where, in my experience, most kids ride without car seats. In fact, small children around 3 to 6 often don't use seatbelts, instead standing between the seats or sit on an adults lap. There is a apparently a child seat law, but it seems a large number of people ignore it. I think the big reason is a lower accident rate, due to more careful driving.
How is that supply restricted? Medical schools are pretty much full, but many schools are going to great lengths to expand available spaces. Med school enrollments are up about 30% since the early 00's. It's true that at some point in the 90's the AMA was predicting an over-supply of doctors, but they quickly realized that wasn't the case and reversed course, as evidenced by their own (successful) efforts to help schools increase enrollment (https://www.aamc.org/system/files/reports/1/enrollmentreport...)
The saying of two things in life being certain, death and taxes, implies death is tax free. Desires and aversions - like pay cheques and taxes - stoics yearned for freedom from both, and they appreciated end of life for freeing the soul from it's wantings and aversion for earthly desires and pain.

The level of straw manning here is egregious. The OP wasn’t trying to make the points your refuting, just pointing out that these clear and accepted benefits also have some costs. That’s all.

> There is a good reason most people in the world left from rural areas to factories as soon as they could.

Yes, and that reason was massive rural unemployment. That was certainly the case here in the UK, but also China with which I’m also familiar. By and large they didn’t go to the cities to get away from back breaking work all day, they went to escape no work at all (for them).
When you recruit starry-eyed kids out of college telling them that they’ll change the world at your company, well, some of those kids never grow up and realize that it’s just marketing.
About 3 years back I was having a discussion with my CTO and he was mentioning why he likes `hg` instead of `git` and that how he uses hg-git bridge to handle git repositories and all. But still he supported the git as the organization wide adopted SCM tooling. Reason being that when we have to choose a tooling which needs to be used by a lot of people in organization then we also need to consider about the learning curve and adoption of a tool. Git is already a default tooling and so many engineers are already familiar with it that choosing it came natural. Moreover, the SCM use-cases for us were mostly the regular standard one.

Over time, I have started to think in terms of innovation tokens [1]. You cannot choose all the new technologies all the time and you have to measure how many innovation tokens would you like to spend on what.

Because sugar is addictive. It's not really about taste, per se.

Sugar is metabolized quickly, and then is followed by a huge insulin spike shortly after. The whole process is up in 4-5 hours. While you're eating, it feels like you're getting something--those are the same signals that trigger the insulin.

More substantive foods containing fats and proteins (probably, that's the stuff you like) take much much longer, >8hrs, and correspond to a more muted, but longer term, insulin response.

So, if you eat a bag of chips with a sugary coating, you get a signal of "oh this is super fulfilling!" while the insulin is spiking, and then a "my stomach is empty again" in 4 hours when the whole thing ends.

This makes you buy more of whatever thing had a bunch of sugar in it.
Thankfully reader mode cleaned it up nicely :)
:) More of a question of what tradeoffs you're using to solve them.
Boy that is a dumb straw man argument. Nobody is seriously proposing getting rid of wire insulation for pete's sake. People are proposing getting rid of single use plastics, that are intended to be tossed out.

If you bring your own bag to the grocery store or drink from a paper cup, you are not ending civilization.
The European nations have been dealing with Russia since before there was an America, and it’s not clear that Russia would benefit from forced occupation of countries that don’t already have a large population that supported it. Irrespective of whether the Crimea annexation was legal, the population there already had a signification portion of people who supported it.

Russia trying to march into France or Germany, for instance, wouldn’t be a fun thing for anyone, including Russia.
I'm in full agreement with you. However, it is hard for management to change how the company operates in such a massive way when the shareholders have been nothing but happy with the company's performance. Google have to have left a ton of revenue on the table by giving up on products rather than developing them to be useful and giving their customers confidence that the product they depend on won't be depreciated.

CodeQL is based on an existing product from a company called Semmle which GitHub acquired in late 2019 [1]

They have been part of GitHub for barely a year so it's not too surprising, especially given they are continuing to support the product for the enterprise customers they had previously not just GitHub.

Lack of ethics or interest in the subject, luring to the ways of gaming the system - I'd say this reputation is well deserved, as someone who studies here.
Yes, in your first example this is known as “value-based pricing.”

However, when it comes to quantum computing, they may be trying to determine if your application is even relevant to their solution.
I would say 99% maybe 100% above maybe ten million dollars or so, sure. Why do you think hereditary wealth is positive? Maybe everyone would have to improve society and try to make sure the bottom of it isn’t quite so horrendous as it is now. But I understand where you’re coming from, there’s nothing like working hard and doing well to make you think the money is yours not something you are lent largely by being born in the right place, at the right time, with the right parents etc. etc.
I halfway see people in the US using it to show their political preference.
Either fractional reserve banking itself is ridiculous, or a 0% net balance is the right number.

If withdrawals get out ahead of collections on debts held by the bank, FISA can (will) step in and make the withdrawing parties whole. The bank now owes FISA and can repay at leisure. This works even if the bank experiences a run, FISA has a bottomless wallet.

If credit issued exceeds 100% of "held" assets, that's clearly fraudulent, it will never work out. But compelling banks to hold some arbitrary amount of the leverage is pointless.

The bank is of course in trouble if defaults exceed the interest on loans, but that was already the case. A 0% balance surfaces this problem faster, and again, FISA pays out, acquires the outstanding debts in lieu of full repayment, and the bank goes bankrupt. No big deal.
They forgot to put music on that board
I don't remember a lot about Forth, except this. After programming in (8-bit) assembler for about a year, I tried Forth. Getting the -code done- in -so little- time, I grinned broadly as I played Frisbee in that saved time.

There's no way to save time like that any more; the computer's done -before- you finish typing 'run'. (Well, ok, infinite loops aren't any faster, just get -much closer to infinity. I postulate.)

Anyway, those old mags always bring back that sense of WHOA! (I still have Kilobaud #1 and #2.)

That only true if you want pure white bread. If you bake with more whole grain (> 30%) higher hydration (> 70%) and use preferments or even better sourdough, a bread can easily last a week, as long as you can toast it once it's more than 2-3 days old.
Well a half-truth is half true, but then of course it's also half false.

I've been thinking politics is increasingly just people lying about each other. Someone's behavior can be over-simplified and then pattern-matched to be a tiny bit like that of a literal socialist/racist/whatever. So you "round up" and throw the worst possible charge at them which can fit your evidence, intentionally creating what is almost certainly a false positive due to a terrible classification process. The lie (i.e. the degree to which their statement was rounded up beyond the evidence they have) is the part that damages the target. So people make it as big as possible. The worst possible names are always immediately diluted by overuse.

Same thing going on here. Not helping is partially like helping the other side, so stop thinking there and start rounding off information to make a lie that can hart them.
Microsoft has used products from Semmle (the now-GitHub and thus now-Microsoft division whose tech is in GitHub code scanning) for a few years, and I've personally used it on occasion.

From that limited experience, I'd say that false positives are less of a problem with Semmle's checkers than with other security-focused static analysis tools. This is partly due to Semmle checkers being much more customizable; Semmle has developed a declarative query language called CodeQL* which its checkers' built-in and user-provided rules are written in. Microsoft's security development lifecycle has a lot of mandates which are captured by custom CodeQL rules precisely enough to match their intent.

You can see some examples of how Microsoft uses Semmle here: https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2018/08/16/vulnerability-hun...

> Here's what killed web components: lack of native databinding on the web.

We have one, and it's called DOM, and XSLT to expand XML data into full fledged documents.

It's just browsermakers collectively conspired to sabotage declarative features to push their numerous JS based "bicycle reinventions."

We also had XForms, but this is an even longer story.
> By GDP per capita, India is where the US was at in the 1950s.

In the 1950s the US's GDP per capita was the highest. Is that the case for India today?

> Would we excuse this behavior in the 1950s West

I mean the 1950s West was no bastion of ethical behavior. Wasn't that when the cigarette industry in the US started its decades-long campaign of misinformation, obfuscation, and false advertising to cover up the harmfulness of their products? And this was flagrantly unethical behavior by some very privileged people. This is without even getting into how women or minorities were treated.

> relative poverty is no excuse for unethical behavior.

One man's "unethical behavior" is another man's "playing by the letter of the rules, not the spirit". Spamming PRs for a free T-shirt is no way comparable to call center scams.
But there are plenty of people in the world, many from poor countries. If we have capacity to spare why not just import them and naturalize?
