There is money to be made or lost depending on a persons race so it won’t stop. Insurance companies will always try and calculate risk and certain ethnicity’s are at higher risk for certain diseases. And before anyone suggests there are laws preventing companies from using race as a factor well then lets just make one more law that states it is illegal to break any laws then all crime will be stopped. The point being even if it is illegal but there is an incentive someone will gather that information and use it regardless of the law. Bigger companies do it blatantly and just eat the fine when they get caught. So personally I don’t think race will be going anywhere anytime soon. Too much money and value can be extracted by knowing a persons race. Furthermore I think the problem lies with the human condition more then anything. If it was not race it would be something else that distinguishes a person we would fight about.
Very little information in the article other than the announcement.

I suspect that Self Driving Vehicles in Japan would have an advantage over the US. People drive well in Japan, it is no easy task to get one drivers license. In Tokyo, drivers seem to be aware of all their surroundings. Pedestrians also obey the rules and don't walk where ever it suits them.

A lot of US drivers are terrible. Even lvl 1/2 is an improvement over most drivers on the roads who are looking at there phones while driving down the center line or against traffic.

But didn't we all agree a long time ago that discrimination is inherently bad?
I learned about neural nets in roughly the late 80s and early 90s and thought they would transform science. I struggled to understand backprogation and gradient descent. My undergrad work was training the weights of a linear model using gradient descent to predict gene encoding regions. By the time I got to grad school in '95, a very small number of people were using MLPs to predict protein secondary structure and had reached about 75% accuracy and got stuck. I was told, at the time, there wasn't enough data or CPU cycles to train good networks, so why bother?

A few years later SpamAssassin came out and I tried to use it to train a spam classifier without any luck. And I tried my hand at a few protein structure SVM classifiers (failng miserably, I didn't really understand it was critical to have a balanced false and true training set).

A few years after that I landed at Google (around 2007) and very few people were doing machine learning, other than ads and search and the work that was being done was far from what I knew about (mainly supervised training with SGD on batched data). Eventually Google adopted the paradigm I enjoy (synchronized SGD using allreduce).

Nowadays, we have ample CPU and data to train amazing models (with the most interesting working being around large language models). It took a lot longer to get there than I expected.
I think it is from the dos/windows world.

Local cache: no, you need to do it yourself once the app goes online. We plan on having things like that soon as part of support for automatic conflict resolution and etc.

As for Skynet. We are already too late.
The big issue with it, IMO, is it simply doesn't work with load balancers. You HAVE to have sticky sessions which, unfortunately, really limits some of the best benefits of http2.

This is where idle power matters. I recently replaced a pretty low power atom in my nas with a i3-9100F. The peak power usage is probably a good 2x higher, but the idle power is just a couple watts, so I expect my average power draw to be much less since the power draw under plex/etc is about the same and the machine sits idle most of the time.
Cube Games and Group Theory
Great explanation! Thank you!
I've seen it happen at varying levels:

Carrefour supermarket opened in my block next to a decades old famously local bakery/grocery store and undercut their prices by more than half, with a focus on infrastructure, quality and service, bakery went out of business, one year later all the prices in the supermarket were way up, staff was cut and service went terrible afterwards.

There's a huge war on this with tons of delivery apps/ride sharing as well, in different corners of the world, Uber tried to burn cash to get ahead of taxis with coupons and discounts in several markets, it won in some, but lost big in China(Didi), India(Ola), and Indonesia(Grab).

Another major example was the "Brazilian airbridge", the flights between SDU - CGH airports, when a growing company tried entering that market, three airlines bundled their offerings together to set prices and coordinate flight times, which priced their competitor out of the route, eventually getting them bankrupt.

I totally agree. But shouldn't we trust the data more than one person's anecdote? The original article clearly did not find any discrimination against white male. Rather than discussing that result, we are here commenting about one person's anecdote.
Techcruch, arguably an entity with some experience and credibility in assessing product and service offerings, noted both "unlimited" and "free" in describing Google Photos.

wait for it. this all sounds too good to be true. I would love it if it was and I will be the first to get a Mac but it doesn't sound true.
Thank you for sharing this experience.

It makes it clear that if bias against a member of the most privileged group in our society can create this kind of trauma, what must it be doing to the minority groups that have been suffering under the same pain for many, many centuries. I applaud your vulnerability.
The idea that "race is dangerous" is dangerous.
People have always been saying that the bond market is manipulated, that it shouldn't be trusted, etc. It's up to you to interpret the data. I think it is actually remarkably accurate. Yield curve inversions work like a charm to detect slowdowns and recessions (not just in the US), and if you think for a second then a yield curve inversion is exactly what the market should price in if there's an "air pocket" ahead in nominal gdp. Then, there's the story of Japan, which was predicted early on (1995) to be in stagnation for decades. And guess what, over 2 decades later it turns out the JGBs were right!

There are times when the bond market is very explicitly manipulated, such as towards the end of WW2 in the US. The country's economy was getting seriously inflationary and rates were pegged at 2% (the rate should have been probably over 10% without the manipulation). Thankfully there was much collective sacrifice and the country managed to win the war in time before its economy imploded. Then the typical post war recession and later the baby boom solved everything.

You can detect such situations by things like: wage freezes, rationing, shelves not completely full in shops, large premium on gold bullion particularly small coins, the politicians' talk of "great effort", things like that
1. If you sincerely want an answer to this, it's easy to find arguments on either side. I don't think HN is an appropriate venue for it, which is why I flagged it (not because the question upsets me or anything -- curiosity is great!)

2. Systems can be racist in the absence of laws. For example, there are still many whites-only country clubs in the US, and there's no law enforcing that. Schools punish Black children more severely for the same behaviors. Those are just small examples -- there are many.

3. You may benefit from existing discussions on this same topic, such as this one:

It’s a bunch of Arab royalties’ money with some tech companies and employees to boot. Not a sympathetic bunch.
I can't believe we're at a point where I have to defend the right, but its actually the opposite. Most Republicans couldn't care less about race, but after constantly hearing how racist they are because of skin color(which is actual racism), they are put in this position to defend being colorblind, which the far left sees as the proof of their racism. Also, what incentive do white people have to be racist? it doesn't make sense.
Yes, that was the context of the statement. But it also would give an answer how customers would use an AS Xserve.
The same can be said about basically any workflow investment.

Of course "tons of productive developers manage without." Most productivity changes aren't make or break. That does not mean with hindsight it would be a bad investment.

When Pandora first did discovery based on the attributes of the music you're listening to, it was amazing.

Then it became trendy to provide discovery based on what other people who listen similar things like. Not so amazing ever since. Not _bad_... just not great. I haven't found any (even GPM) that do a good job at pulling together suggestions that fit into my eclectic listening habits.

I tend to disagree. Server push was a cool way for implementing streaming like in hls particularly when you have constrained devices that otherwise would suffer from request latencies.

However, IMHO the Internet has mostly degraded to a huge CDN. Http/2 is often not even handled by the final end point. Decentralized caching and proactive cache control has become a niche.

Having said that, I still dream of a world in which browsers just care about rendering, rather than defacto shaping the future arch of the net on all layers (DoH, https cert policies, quic MTUs, ...)

> Anything goes wrong, goes to Amazon.

Exactly, which is why you should review your seller negatively so that Amazon can take steps in removing that seller from the marketplace. Amazon reads the reviews you put on a seller and take almost immediate action. When you review the item, they don't. So not only are you wasting your own time, you are wasting everyone else's.
i dabbed into android when the pixel 2 came out, i wanted to see how much greener the grass was on the otherside after using iphone since the 4.

two things i noticed beyond this "location history" that absolutely crepped me out - especially when it recorded a loop i took walking my toddler around our neighborhood at the time that was seriously better than any track that my garmin fenix could record of my runs:

1) simply asking the assistant : "call contact x" would say the assistant could not perform the task because it needed location history enabled -- why? it's in my contact list just execute the function!

2) simply asking the assistnat : "make alo call to contaxt x" would tell me the error above along with "google has not enabled that function yet". this was, at the time, the flagship of google and goole assistant couldn't even integrate with google's own apps?

it's amazing to me how people here defend android and google and the insane amount of information that they're giving to this company all because they want to sideload an app onto their phone? i can do the same thing on my iphone, no, it's not as easy or as quick as "allow aps from unkown sources", but christ, think about what you're giving up.
I think breaking up is a ZIP limitation (max archive size is 4GB)

I'm exporting it regularly (although I certainly don't have 120Gb of photos on it). You can choose an option for regular exports (every two months), and delivery method (e.g. Google Drive). Then I have a script that runs daily, mounts google drive, moves the takeout locally if it's present and removes from google drive (so it doesn't take space).

Then indeed, inside you have mess with some data in HTML, some in JSON, etc. But well, at least you can parse it... I have a library which I'm using as an API to various data exports, in particular, archived takeouts too (so I don't even have to unpack them to access)

> The court also noted that just be­cause Har­vard’s ad­mis­sions cri­te­ria are sub­jec­tive doesn’t mean the school is bi­ased against Asian-Amer­i­can ap­pli­cants. “There is no re­quire­ment that uni­ver­si­ties use en­tirely ob­jec­tive cri­te­ria when con­sid­er­ing race to ad­mit ap­pli­cants,” the judges wrote.

If race is considered at all, it is racial discrimination, period.
The Swedish word used in Pippi, until recent editions, was "neger" which has historically been used comparably to the English "negro" but also as a slur more comparable to the English "nigger".

The Swedish phrase "n-ordet"
("the n-word") covers both the Swedish words "neger" and "nigger". The former was considered correct at one time. To my knowledge, the latter was always a slur, in Swedish.

So there is bound to be some imprecision when discussing this topic across the two languages if one does not want to type out the full words even in their meta use.

It is not hard to find examples of meta uses of "neger" in respected sources from just a few years ago. "N-ordet" is a quite recent import, obviously influenced by the American "the n-word".
Here's the issue with meritocracies: They pursue individual excellence at the expense of group excellence.

We know[1] that a more diverse group creates better group outcomes than a non-diverse group where specific individuals may have better performance. Even from a wholly selfish perspective for the people running a project, prizing diversity of qualified individuals over a pure meritocracy is the right play.

From a "making the world a better place" perspective where some altruism is shown, it also helps to acknowledge that not everyone has all the same advantages and tailwinds so that it is fundamentally more difficult for them to have had all the same opportunities and advantages, and providing those opportunities and advantages to them gives them that chance to even the playing field. The amount of unconscious bias built in to humans also means it is difficult for us to be effective judges of ability for those that are not like us. You don't have to be racist/exist/homophobic/transphobic/etc. to have built in biases - you just have to be human. They're difficult to overcome without explicitly stating goals around it.

Show HN: Hire top vetted developers from Latin Ams and Europe for 35/ USD hour
We've been running the platform in beta trying various pricing points that's fair for the developers and affordable for startups & businesses and we've finally settled on this price point.
All our developers go through a vigorous vetting process. Although we claim our talent to be at top 5%, they are virtually at the same level as Toptal's. Top 5% is less misleading than Toptal's top 3%.

Also we believe, based on our previous experience, huge timezone differences can be a hurdle for remote work. So we aim to assign developers from similar timezones. Our US based clients will be assigned with Latin Am developers, where as our European clients will be assigned with European developers.

Generally you are able to maintain distance pretty well. And you are moving quickly in open air. Some people keep a mask under their chin and pull it up while passing, which seems more reasonable. I also see people wearing masks while driving alone in their cars. I advocate for masks, and have given away thosands of KN95's that I imported, but I think in some cases the masks are serving mostly as a way to feel some control in this out of control world that we inhabit
I mean it's possible that they're alt account created on a whim rather than ones that represent actual people. Law enforcement could have requested information from about a few people who each created thousands of accounts, for example.

Maybe that's Windows or Windows pre installed bloatware specific ? The high end thinkpads (t/x/p/w/carbon) are generally well supported by Linux distros, partially thanks to many kernel and distro developers using them.

As for bios (well EFI these days) that should be handled very seamlessly via fwupd on all major Linux distros:

(Frankly seems much more robust to how it is handled on Windows - not at oll or via half broken OEM bloatware.)
What exactly is the issue with DI? How else are you going to pass dependencies? How are the errors "inscrutable" when they tell you the exact type that it can't load?

Do you just want to `new SomeClass()` instead? If so, what's stopping you from just doing that?

It would be interesting to see a frequency analysis of the non-tech subjects that tend to reach the HN front page.

Samuel Johnson has come up several times, Stoicism is a perennial favorite as is depression, burnout, and meditation; nootropics and drugs are popular.

There are just things I've noticed, however, and are not the result of any kind of systematic study.

It would be easy to perform this kind of analysis if HN articles were tagged, but unfortunately they're not, so maybe some kind of AI techniques could be used to determine the subject matter from the title and then aggregate and sort the data.

Racism in the US like most other places is no longer based on codified law, but rather how laws are applied and personal prejudices.

While there are no longer laws that say "Whites can but Blacks can't", there are clearly laws that intentionally or un-intentionally impact some people more than others.

Isn’t this just exponential growth catching up to us? As long as the exponent > 1 the curve eventually gets “vertical.” It just takes longer. Discounting herd immunity, etc. which we’re clearly not at. (I am also interested in the data and don’t mean this as an argument.)

I completely agree. I'm apart of a generation that grew up with technologies like YouTube, Facebook, etc. I think the majority of my generation sees the internet as a platform to project themselves, rather than a very valuable tool. I've learned countless things on the internet for free that I would've had to pay thousands for without it. I wish people would realize this.
