They need to store the version requirements metadata outside the packages. Having to download the entire wheel just to see whether it is compatible is ridiculous. This could all be computed by downloading an index file, then performing the resolution.

They made a half-assed attempt when pypa/pip added the "data-requires-python" tag, but that covers python interpreter version only, it needed to have been done for all dependencies.

An easy way to solve this issue would be to just liberalize the whole immigration process: for e.g. software development, research and any technical field, make it equally easy to hire either Americans or foreigners (whichever person is best for the role) on the basis of competence only. That would make the process more fair both to Americans and non-nationals and would ensure the best person for the job gets retained, rather than either the one lucky enough to be born on one side of an imaginary line, or the foreigner who might be hired simply because cheaper/harder to leave company.
Let's try to be honest about this. Any executive who receives this letter (and they will certainly be involved due to the liability concern) will immediately conclude that Gebru has to be gotten out as quickly as possible. The venom drips from the letter. It is clear that she is not a salvageable employee who could operate with the business interest of Google in mind.

Sadly, she will undoubtedly come up with some trumped up reason to sue for discrimination and probably be bought off with a settlement.

Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory 'not closing' after collapse
I didn't say "low risk, high returns." It is a spectrum. What you've said in your first two sentences sounds fine as a textbook principle. But the real world is messier and opportunities don't just vanish: if you do the math on a basic risk parity strategy with the S&P and some uncorrelated ETF, you can see it will beat the market on a risk adjusted basis. Very often you can then leverage this up to a higher absolute return than SPY while keeping lower volatility and beta overall.

> There is no unexploited profit opportunity that is risk free

This is essentially encapsulated by a Sharpe ratio (among other things). On the contrary, it is not especially difficult to produce a relatively high Sharpe ratio, accounting for transaction and margin costs, if you don't have a large amount of money to invest (large means single digit billions or more). This is especially, but not exclusively, the case if you don't care to compound your returns.
> I've never heard of cocaine going at $100/g even for really clean stuff. $60/g is much more realistic.

Given the range cited in the article (US prices of $25/g-$200/g, with an average of $112/g), I would assume that there is enormous variation by locality, over time, and by other factors, and that people that aren't specifically involved in analyzing it nationally are at best going to have experience that is narrow and/or intermittent and usually decidedly nonrepresentative for that reason.

But even if the price was $50/g, that only means it goes from 0.5% to 1% of the street value of the potential output that needs to be captured by Colombia to fully replace the value of US aid. (And only part of that needs to be recovered in actual tax revenue from cocaine itself, some of it can be recovered in additional tax revenue from other businesses that stop being inhibited by cartel vs. government violence, and some of it can be recovered by reduced government suppression expenditures.)

In that case, Apple is expecting that the odds of somebody making less money in 2022 because of the increased rate compared to 2021 to be very unlikely.

I.e. If you sold exactly $1M and were taxed at 15%, Apple takes $150K and you make $850K. Under an increased rate of 30%, that means you would lose money if you made less than approximately $1.25M in the year after, but the odds of someone with $1M in revenue failing to get to $1.25M by next year is very unlikely.
Steam has a strong hold because developers can generate as many keys as they want for free. So if indie games sell games in Humble Bundle and the likes, they are distributing Steam keys because it costs them nothing.

This alone puts Steam on the map of many gamers interested in indie games.

Importing it is already illegal in most of the world (including the US, Europe, and China), that would not be something the rest of the world has to do, it's already done. Perhaps Columbia is hoping it will change.

The U.S. is historically the actor with the desire and power to enforce this sort of thing on Latin America, with both carrot and stick. Other countries can decide they care and want to try to enforce it (although the U.S. is the powerful country that's closest to Latin America). I'm not sure if I'd expect them to try or not, really.

One example of what the U.S. has done is require toxic spraying of coca crop in Columbia, even though it causes health and pollution problems. In some cases it's even U.S. planes doing it, whether Columbia likes it or not (how would anyone else like it if a foreign country insisted on their right to spray toxic chemicals without permission?) But googling for a cite for that... I see I was wrong about the Trump administration, they actually were trying to force Columbia to start doing the spraying again.

It feels like if you listen to the peanut gallery, Apple CPU advantage is always easy to replicate. They said the same thing when Apple bumped the A series to 64 bits and at pretty much every step between.

Well, whats your suggestion then? If there was a better option, it feels like the airlines would have taken advantage of that opportunity. My guess is that the alternatives are too logistically/operationally expensive, and the pet owners aren't willing to bear that cost.

> Airlines have options to support people traveling with infants and small children

I see a lot of this sentiment in the comments, comparing infants and pets. One is essential to the continuation of our species. The other is a comfort, choice and privilege. It makes sense that our willingness to accept and subsidize is completely different between the two. You don't get a dependent tax deduction either, just because you have a dog.

My aunt flies frequently for business (at least once a week). She has routinely had to move because of people with pets (or "emotional support animals"). This isn't to be rude, but because she is highly allergic and it is not only uncomfortable for her, but dangerous.

Have you ever been on a flight where someone with peanut allergies is on the plane? The flight attendants announce that someone on the plane is allergic, so peanuts will not be served on the plane as a matter of safety.

The same courtesy should exist for people with allergies to pets. Many of them have to spend the whole flight concerned that they might have a reaction because they are forced to share the same re-circulated air as a pet that is potentially dangerous to them.

Gotcha. The H-1B was first created in the 1950s for aliens of "distinguished merit and ability". In 1990, it became a visa for workers in a "specialty occupation".

I mean if you compare a rich person to a poor person yes the rich person is going to come out ahead in most social metrics but we're not speaking of wealth inequality, but social divides outside of it.

That said, in the United States, non-white men were systemically marginalized and prevented from participation in society to the same degree. There are numerous examples of this over the last four centuries, but they did not decrease in fervor until about a generation ago. For many reasons, our class divide is correlated to our racial divide. That doesn't mean we don't need to fix both, just that the there are two problems to fix there.

Looking from America, it's hard not to be frustrated at Europeans on their high horses talking about class versus racial divide. Is it so hard to recognize that we have different social problems, and a different history? And that things we talk about might be colored one way, because race, gender, and sexual orientation impact real people on a daily basis? Do you reject the idea that bigotry exists independent of class and it's something we need to work on?
Homeless people are routinely defensive because they are homeless and the entire world treats them like crap on a routine basis.

There are still absolutely situations where I'd prefer to be the first person over the second. For example, when interacting with a police officer, or when visiting certain towns. Or when attempting to get medical care (there's strong evidence to suggest that physicians are worse at treating black patients, and are prone to ignoring complaints from women, independent of class).

While class problems do, absolutely, exist in the US, race problems also exist.
