> Can someone explain to me why white people moving to another country is considered colonialism?

The premise is that colonialism was marked by people from wealthy countries (generally Europeans) occupying and extracting wealth from poorer foreign lands. So the author is alluding that a (relatively speaking) wealthy white person looking to hop to a lower cost of living land, and be treated like a king for their wealth, is similar at face value.

That said it's really just at face value. Using your expatriated wealth to live like a king in a low cost of living country is not the same as extracting wealth, and the expats generally hold no political power either.
Any new idea related to Productivity app development
Hi,
I am planning to build a productivity app (apple based if possible using firebase) to improve our day2day activities. We have lot of ToDo, Project mgmt, Chat,Habit...related App's. If you have any particular problem with existing app or integration of services (WhatsApp...etc) related Please let meknow. Looking for ideas for the same. Thank You!

They are already binning. The air is supposed to be less powerful, with cheaper variants even having one core less.

The benchmark is just ... that accurate.
Right, the point is not that poor families can afford a $100 computer, rather that the poor family's school can buy more $100 computers to hand out than they can $200 Chromebooks or $400 iPads.
I can confirm that at least two FAANG companies explicitly give diversity points to recruiters. That is, hiring a "diverse" candidate is worth ~1.5x as much to them as a non-diverse candidate for the same role.

They are cagey about the exact details of who is included at a given time. But I do know it varies by rule.
Thanks for sharing this. This was what I was missing. Should've done proper research before building.

I'd still think the cli could be useful in some situations. but I agree with others about how big this had to be because I used node.
I see a lot of people debating the finer details of benchmarks and trying to argue whether or not Intel or AMD are still ahead.

But consider:

1. Apple just introduced their “starter” chip for everyday consumers. They would not WANT that chip to smoke their top-end Intel Macs, as it would cannibalize margins until the more powerful chips are ready.

2. This is a “two year transition,” with a team that has been shipping a meaningfully better chip every 12 months for about a decade.

From those two observations, I would expect that we’ll see an M1x or M2 chip in the next 12 months which nudges the 16”MBP to 20% or so better than what we’re seeing today, and 12 months after that the transition is completed with the introduction of the M3 series, where there’s an M3, M3x, and M3z for the low, mid, and max performance machines.

And when that happens, I expect the max-performance M3z is going to smoke anything else on the market.

This is not the first time Apple has had a “five-year lead” on the industry, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes Intel and AMD some time to catch up.

And frankly we should all be thrilled about that, because more competition and innovation is just going to accelerate our entire field. I can’t wait to see all the new stuff this will power over the next decade :)

It seems to me that if you choose something that is completely equitable in who is able to participate, then the rest of it sounds like manufacturing dissent by companies or corporations that want a "leg up" on the competition in the D&I category, which is all the rage these days in terms of marketing. Maybe there are other reasons women don't want to enter these fields, but prefer to wholly dominate others, and maybe that we should turn the conversation to this being OK. We've spent so many cycles trying to "figure this out" when there is research after research that just shows women don't prefer the "rat race" as much as men, and gravitate towards roles that focus on helping, nurturing, and community, hence why they dominate roles where those are highlighted: teachers, administrators, nurses, psychologists, etc.

There's never going to be a feeling of "service" or caring when you are writing ad-tech for a FAANG. It's just not going to happen, no matter how many D&I articles you write.

Yes kudos to apple for delivering astonishing performance and performance/watt, but to use these chips you'll have to accept Apple's full embrace - the chip, the device it powers, the OS, the app ecosystem and restrictions.

> May be only then Apple could afford to offer a MacBook 12" at $799. And educational price at $699. Although I am not sure if that is enough, Chrome Book in many classes are going at $299. Apple doesn't have to compete dollar to dollar in pricing, but 2X difference is going to be a hard battle to fight. But at least it would allow Apple to win key areas in Education market where TCO and Cost are not as stringent.

Apple is already doing quite well in the low-end education market with the base model iPad. These are competitive with Chromebooks on price. They also do a better job of replacing paper with Notability or GoodNotes and open up project opportunities with the video camera. Most kids seem to be fine with the on-screen keyboard, but that part is not ideal without an external keyboard/keyboard case.

A modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0 (C++ variant)
That was very worrisome to me, too: backwards compatibility is a real market but it’s an inherently shrinking one and profits are capped with multiple competitors, even including Apple - if that old software ran on old processors it’ll almost certainly run fast enough in a modern emulation/translation system on new hardware while users migrate to non-legacy software.

Similarly, the full-range of PCs comment reads like they’re hoping nobody noticed that the low-end market is increasingly using cheaper ARM chips. Here again x86 compatibility is worth something but for a lot of people it comes down to whether it runs Chrome and Office, so there’s an upper bound on how much money you can squeeze out with such effective competition.

Intel has the resources to do better than this but I no longer have confidence that they have management who can effectively run the company.

We were all using desktops or fairly clunky laptops. Then, out of nowhere, we have touchscreens, cameras, maps, etc AND the power of a desktop machine, in a device that's 1/20th the size!

This wasn't all of a sudden. In 1999, I already had a Palm PDA with touchscreen, pen and handwriting recognition. Digital cameras also existed, but were limited by storage size and power efficiency. Handheld color screens were a commodity since the Gameboy Color in 1998, and had existed since the Atari Lynx in 1989.

All of those technologies already existed before the iPhone came along. The limiting factor, before 2005, was silicon (transistor) density and power draw, which also saw gradual increases (Moore's Law), not a leap. After 2005 or so, the processors became powerful enough to support a generic OS and that allowed all those technologies to be combined in a single device.

The graph on page 13 was interesting. The gender distribution of applicants stays about the same, but the gender distribution for hires has dropped for men and risen for women. So were the women previously dropping out of the workforce? Do we now have men dropping out of the workforce? Or are they simply being reshuffled among the various companies within the industry? I ask this because there are other studies that say the industry in the US is facing a shortage of tech workers, so it seems unlikely to be that a significant number of people would be dropping out, or that this study accurately represents the industry as a whole.

Yes, most people have jobs. Those jobs are created by entrepreneurs or government. Some entrepreneurs choose to do without employees. Software development and publishing would be a niche where this model applies.

Job markets are usually protected by work permits. Arguments about protectionism can go either way. I'm not advocating either position, only making a realist's observation.

Job creators and people who have income are usually recognized as a benefit to an economy. The expectation that migrating to a foreign country (for political reasons of all things) should be made easy seems misplaced. There are ways to achieve this and live well for those who apply themselves. A little creativity that yields a modest passive income is enough to prosper on in many parts of the world.

No, you're misinterpreting it, maybe even projecting your own insecurities. Nobody said you have to date fit / thin people - just that people shouldn't lie / pretend about it. You have a fetish on fatties? Set the weight filter up high. This is clearly superior to the current model, where it's easy for people to lie about weight/age/height/income/...

The real criticism of this model is completely different, and much deeper. People don't actually know what they want and who would make them happy, and they often conform / default to social conventions in their public preferences - e.g. maybe you want to filter out 10+ older men because you don't want to go on dates with "creepy" dudes, or you want to filter out fat women because you don't want your friends to judge you - even though in reality, you might actually be happier with those matches, or, more likely, those attributes are often orthogonal to your actual happiness.

But regardless of whether the outcome fits your priors or not, you may wish to know whether the study has decent evidence, or is just noise.

And GP has a good point. The authors have some automated scheme for grading how well-qualified people are. The recruiters also have some such scheme. If these two schemes differ, and the distributions aren't identical between the groups being compared, then you will detect group differences like what they see. To label these differences bias in the recruiter's process, you must be confident that you have less bias in your process. The details of this correction are going to be crucial.

> such as ketamine and estketamine for TRD, are really only available in the US

Go careful here. Ketamine infusion is a pretty heavy duty intervention and patients require careful monitoring while taking the infusion and for a short term afterwards.

In the UK we're looking at 1:1 nurse:patient ratios, delivered in ECT suites.

In the US the way increased access has been achieved is by dropping down the nurse:patient ratio and delivering it in wider settings. It's a more risky way to deliver the treatment.

We know that in the US there's already a problem of "doctor shopping" -- going around doctors until you find one willing to prescribe ketamine / eskatamine. This is normally associated with harmful prescribing, although it's too early to say if that's the case with these meds.

EDIT to add: There are cultural differences here. The US sees access to medication as being the same as access to treatment. The UK sees it as over-medication with at best ineffective treatment, and at worst treatment that causes harm.

I'm torn. Obviously sovereign societies are free to enact any rights and restrictions (within constrains of treaties they sign up to) they see fit. But I see people's freedom of movement as a natural balancing right in a globalized world were capital moves easily across borders.

In EU freedom of movement is normally only talked about as a right due to shared european values but another pragmatic view is: if you allow for such drastic unequal neighbors to be living under similar legal/economical frameworks it's only fair (and economically sound) to let people move with capital.
That the bottom line results be plausible is not enough. It matters whether the study is a good source of evidence for its claims. Otherwise none of us have any reason to update our views in response, and the study has no value as information.

> Which music service's discovery features actually work?

It depends on what you mean by "work".

Discovery capabilities have certainly gotten vastly better. 10+ years ago, the only decent one was the now (effectively) defunct Last.fm. These days, they're all pretty good. Spotify, pandora, google music, and now youtube music will do a good job of giving you recommendations based strictly on what you've been cue-ing up.

But the recommendations from these services are the equivalent of going into a record store and getting advice from a dim-witted and disinterested employee. You'll get all the obvious stuff, maybe things you forgot about, and if you happen to like popular stuff the recommendations will work OK. But you won't get challenging, provocative recommendations that expand your taste. You'll get cloying recommendations that try to cater to your taste like it was a static attribute. Oh, yeah, and there's "the surveillance capitalism thing" which happens to be the centerpiece of all these services. Is that a problem? Yes.

The best "discovery algorithm" is still HUMAN BEINGS.

If your cool friends aren't available, then the next best thing is a mag like pitchfork (https://pitchfork.com/), xlr8r (https://xlr8r.com/) or in-depth reviews like Anthony Fantano's channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/theneedledrop).

I really feel that you (and Microsoft) have completely lost sight of the reason why DI was ever even necessary and have become blind to just how much extra code it generates. The only reason was to inject mocks, and people hand-wrung for ages over it because the code to do so infects all the other code. Then people started to try and back justify it with IoC, but it's never really been a convincing argument.

It's also something that if you're not working regularly with it can be very mysterious and when it fails, fails at run-time, quite inscrutably sometimes.

From my perspective it's just boilerplate magic that if you actually need it, fair enough, but if you don't is a persistent, nagging, pain in the ass.
