Google didn't fire Dr Gebru for this paper, even though that is the popular narrative. Google fired her for sending an email to a large list that said Google's DEI initiatives were a failure and that employees shouldn't waste their time contributing to them.
> Hint: no chinese/russian IP addresses are being accessed.

As Snowden revealed, the NSA itself is way above that playing field. They (quite unsurprisingly) use IPs in the respective country, or just false-flag IPs in "enemy" countries. And the data is not actually sent as plain packets but tacked in the form of metadata onto normal, innocent packets going elsewhere. Then servers on intermediate hops exfiltrate that data. And none of it might happen if you're not actually targeted.

That of course underlines your main point. I don't see "sends nothing to foreign IPs" as an argument though.
I think think your last sentence answers your own question. People are worried their new machine might only last 5 years.
well under the trump administration, we were at the state where ICE was getting tips from unlawful traffic stops and deporting said immigrants/refugees.

They're both evil, just that US is less so.
Well said. Your comment reminds me of a conversation from 30+ years ago with a work colleague who opined - or shared the opinion, I cannot remember which - that our "input bit rate" was fixed. Young and argumentative, I disputed this, but....

I don't remember all of the arguments in favour, but he pointed out reading: We start sounding out individual letters and eventually progress to scanning whole words or sentences or paragraphs.

It's not that our bit rate changes, it's that our "bit" changes.

Yeah, handwavy I know, I am struggling to recall the conversation.

Essentially, though, consider your point another way: We can only process so many concepts/notions per unit time, and initially, in any subject, our concepts/notions are smaller. As our experience grows, they grow, so our throughput increases, even at the same processing speed.

Sort of like widening a highway to handle more volume at the same speed. Sort of.
> but the focus should not just be on getting the right answer, but helping students articulate how they got there, which can be a learning experience ESPECIALLY WHEN the student got the wrong answer

Who would disagree with this? This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with good teaching. And teachers who fail to do this are bad teachers, not racists.

What is still perplexing to some people, is how race gets tied up into this argument. I absolutely believe that the US education system fails many, many students and that this disproportionately falls on minorities and students of color. But this almost always falls back to manifestations of larger socioeconomic structures, and not the way that material is taught. Asian students perform far better in math than white students. Do Asians thrive under systems of white supremacy more than caucasians?
I would say this is quite a different situation:

Police enforcement includes the police powers of arrest and detention.

GDPR enforcement is (I believe) limited to a fine which can be appealed to a court. If the enforcement department turns out to be wasting court time, then there are likely to be significantly negative consequences for that department (at least, more than for the police in the US).

I agree that fine collection is not an ideal way of funding a department, but not all incentives are perverse just because they exist - incentives are allowed to align.
How do you like `pyportfolioopt` compared to other libraries? Seems a lot more batteries-included in a good way compared to most other stuff I've seen.
I don't find that to be true for the c-word (American here).

I'll edit out of respect for the low-profanity nature of HN discourse, but if someone said "Jan had a falling out with Marcia after she called her a meddling c#nt", that wouldn't phase me. I would find it amusing and childish if someone said "c-word" as a mention, in a context where an f-bomb would not be out of place, which is most adult conversation.

Yeah calling someone a daft c#nt isn't something we really do here, and it's about as misogynistic as insults get, but by contrast: white Americans really do take pains to never pronounce the n-word, use, mention, singing along with the radio, or under any other circumstance. No white American would complete the sentence, "as Muhammad Ali put it, 'no Viet Cong ever called me...'".

It's an actual taboo, at this point: it is simply never to be said, and it's tough to make a living or complete an education after a single offense, if made in public or documented.

Edit to add: I did say "no white American" but there's a certain subculture who do, and I have no idea what to call them now, since the name itself is pretty offensive. We would sometimes refer to them as Wegroes to be droll.

I personally doubt the value of vaccination in the covid case where ~98% of the cases are pretty easily dealt with at home by most people's healthy immune system. I will not take it.

If you want to be safe: sure take it, but it's a mechanism for self protection.

As I read the policy, expressing this point of view would not cause my tweet to be labeled. I could be wrong. Because on the other hand, it could be taken as a call for not getting vaccinated. I'm guessing that makes it a candidate in your view.

Content moderation is hard, and it seems there's always the danger of subjectivity.

> or what they deserve. It's about YOU.

So then if a mugger is attacking someone, you think that we should tip our hat at the mugger, and walk by?

No. I think that I should stop them from attacking others, and I am not going to respect the attacker, even if I lived in a society where it was legal for a mugger to attack others.

Even though violence is "wrong" in general, it is not wrong to use violence to defend others who are being attacked by a mugger.

> You want to be a good guy with that clause? Line the clause out.

Thats like saying that if you are being attacked by a mugger, you should just run away, even if you think that mugger is going to hurt someone else in the future.

No. The good thing to do is to take actions to stop the mugger from attacking you as well as other people, even if we live in some weird society where it is legal to assault others.

> Agreeing to something with your fingers crossed behind your back is dishonest and cowardly.

Using violence against others is normally a bad thing, but it is a good thing to do it in order to protect others.

The same thing applies to the original situation.

Would I rather have some data harvested by the local three letter agency and some by a random Chinese company versus all my data harvested by an American entity (most western three letter agencies share with the US)? I would most definitely rather have them out of the reach of US spying even if it means sending it to China instead. You might consider PRC hostile but how much do you think it takes for your data to get US agents come knocking on your door versus PRC agents? Sure today it might not happen but in your parents youth it could have. In your children's lifetime your words today might harm them.

The short version is that unless you live inside the PRC data harvested on you is highly unlikely to matter no matter what you do. Inside the US or US allies? Be careful.
Wow! Thanks!
The catch for me is that so much of what people consider privilege is effectively just skin color or other outward attributes. Yes, those are attributes that are discriminated on so we should be hyper aware of those attributes, but those aren't the only attributes that constitute privilege.

You absolutely cannot make the determination of someone's privilege just by skin color or hair or whatever else. It's impossible. You can make a generalized, probabilistic guess, but you don't know if a white person grew up in a leaky trailer with abusive parents, or if a black person grew up in an upper middle class family. You don't know if someone sleeps in their car, or if the bank won't give them a loan, or if they're chronically depressed or in pain. There are so many vectors to privilege beyond race. There's so much more to a person's position in society, whether cultural or economic, than can be determined just by looking at them.

And it seems to me that so much of "punishment" you speak about is directed towards people specifically based on outward attributes.

The old phrase "never judge a book by its cover" really does apply here.
Maybe it's the equivocation of "dominance" and "whiteness" in assertions like this:

"Classrooms are often microcosms of the world around us and reinforce dominant (or white) ways of being."

> It seems like a toolkit for identifying how seemingly innocuous ideas could support existing power structures in our society. Why should that be shunned?

It lacks intellectual rigor and is unfalsifiable, yet the burden of proof rests on the accused. Perhaps the tools we use to teach math are suboptimal, but to assert that they are "racist" or "white" (in a harmful sense) is an extraordinary claim that needs extraordinary evidence.

It should be possible to experimentally demonstrate that certain teaching methods improve the outcomes towards racial equity, then give recommendations based on those results. If this isn't possible, how could we achieve racial equity by making all these assertions, then requiring teachers to reflect upon them? Clearly, if the teachers are biased by white supremacy, all of their conclusions must be biased as well.

Apologies, didn't see there was a reply before I trimmed mine or I would have left it.

Trimmed because I thought it didn't add anything really and wasn't very articulate. Basically - not every document needs to justify its existence from first principles. "How to fix X" doesn't need to convince you that X is in fact a problem you have, if it's aimed at people who already think that.

> The woke ideology, on the other hand, treats both science and mathematics as social constructs

Every field of human endeavor is a social construct. In the best case scenario, we are able to agree on some basic set of facts which are considered to be true regardless of the people observing them. But like the world of quantum physics, sometimes things shift in subtle ways simply because of who is observing them. No, I'm not saying 2 + 2 doesn't always equal 4. But the significance or "use case" for acquiring or utilizing that bit of knowledge is subjective, as are the methods used to convey that knowledge…which is where things get tricky.

Except that he isn't human and, while found, clearly entered the US illegally. A lawyer would have had him claim refugee status. You cannot just throw a child over a border and have them "found" by someone. Foundling is a commonlaw principal to cover situations where it is not possible to determine a child's history and it is therefore assume they were born locally. It doesn't trump obvious evidence to the contrary.
Yes.

None of these statements are equal:

> Statement A: "Children of certain minorities perform more poorly at math."

This is a (sad) fact.

> Statement B: "Math instruction is racist."

Could be true. If true, we can agree it's undesirable. The Gates foundation is tossing some money around based on this idea.

> Statement C: "Math is racist."

This is absurd clickbait that nobody actually believes. The writer is intentionally confusing statement B and C because clickbait.

That said, I'm sure there are people here that still don't buy statement B, so for the purposes of argument let's tweak it a bit: "Math instruction is sexist".

There was a study of elementary school children that showed that girls taught by women perform more poorly in math than girls taught by men. With boys, the gender of the teacher didn't matter nearly as much. The researches speculated that women teachers might be projecting their own insecurities about math to the women in the class, essentially giving the girls permission to be bad at math just because they are girls.

Putting aside the other wider socioeconomic factors, it's not hard to imagine a similar phenomenon happening among children of color, and if a billionaire wants to spend his money to try to find solutions to these problems, we should let him.
I think as a society we should always strive to be objective, especially when accusing someone of wrong-doing and, subsequently damaging their lively-hood. Yes, Black Americans have life experiences that tie extreme emotion to this word, but I think we can recognize that without losing sight of objectivity.

There is a reason we don't allow police officers with personal involvement to investigate crimes, and why it's generally frowned upon for employers to date their employees. It's the same reason why we shouldn't let the most subjectively affected decide intent in this instance.

That's a good example of atrociously poor HR by PG&E. Especially since they're apparently not willing to reconsider. It should be noted that he's has not been banned from speaking anywhere.

I was curious about this so I tried to follow up on the story to see what happened after the fact, but the reporting is pretty much entirely about the firing. I'm curious if he's been blacklisted from his industry or not? If so, that would be a perfect case of cancel culture going too far.

Most of the US is rural with no housing, therefore no affordable housing by definition. In most small towns you're even more car-dependent than in a city, and there are no jobs.

As I think about it, if we define affordable as "costing under $500/mo all-in" (since that would be a little over a third of one month's work at minimum wage), it would surprise me if even 1 in 20 homes met that criteria.

Spot on. And of course culture warriors like commenter Marco pile on:

"As awful as this is, the fact that it's funded by The Gates Foundation makes it even worse. So when Bill isn't trying to save the world from Climate Change or drive the world batshit crazy about Covid he's spending his money on racist initiatives..."

All they need to validate their misguided outrage without having to read a damn article. Wish Weiss would start a series about lazy pseudo-intellectualism feeding all this tribalism.
American here. I've always gotten my deposit back, but more often then not it involves work and knowledge on my part. Most tenets (even my wealthy peers) don't really know there rights and just write off the deposits as a cost of moving, so most landlords assume they can get away with stealing them.

I have always gotten payed after sending a letter to the effect of "I moved on XXX date. With interest (as required by the lease and state law) you owe me my security deposit of $YYY within 45 days or I am entitled to sue for 3x that amount and attorneys fees."

There are also some procedural rules around how to deduct from security deposits (among other things, you must send an itemized list by certified mail to the last known address of the former tenet within 45 days of the end of the lease). I'm pretty sure most landlords don't even follow that for otherwise valid deductions
Excellent catch. To be precise you need a measure of perceptual loudness rather than raw waveform excursion, but I would expect the results to be in line with what you've found.

> It's well known in the audio biz that if you ask people to compare two experiences, and one of them is a bit louder than the other, people will say that the louder one was better, or came through more clearly, or whatever it is you're trying to market for.

As a former mastering engineer, you're absolutely right that this is well understood in the audio industry. I used to present my clients with level-matched comparisons of source audio vs. processed so they would understand exactly what was being done, aesthetically.
There's a difference between writers and reporters. I think this guy is known as an amazing _reporter_. I think there are some people who are both but they are less common than you might think.

This should also demolish the argument that the use of the n-word in music and black culture has in any way "robbed the word of its power." Clearly the word terrifies and offends people, even if this offense is partially performative. It's not a feckless word.
If I were one of those teenagers, I would have felt offended just by these remarks alone.

It looks like a fact that at least some of the teenagers in that group complained, and NYT handled their complaints professionally then. However, when some other media exposed it, the author treated it lightly and inappropriately.

Down vote me as you like, but I don't like the author blame it on the teenagers at all.
