The paper is easy to read, and a bunch of questions that came to mind were addressed, or at least acknowledged, in one place or another of the paper.

I appreciated the following tidbit, which I didn't know (since I figured prep for this particular test was now widespread there, by convention, but not officially stated):

> students at Stanford take courses for passing technical interviews, CS9: Problem-Solving for the CS Technical Interview.

And because of things like that, the current interview convention seem even less useful as a predictor, for purposes other than "Did you go to Stanford, or are of similar socioeconomic status, to have been coached on beating the current metric, specifically?"
Apparently we didn't.
Yes, all us Native Americans are poor and need special help. The ones that don't are the exception.

I should have been more specific.
But "for a given causal model" precisely means "given a set of statements about what causes what." Those statements must be either proved or assumed.

If they are already proved, they don't need to be proved further per (1).

If they are not already proved, then they are just assumptions and we are talking about (2).
I wouldn't call this an American tendency. Generally the word "international" is used for things which are expected or aspire to be truly international.

If anything the American tendency is to restrict interest to the US.

I view this as a kind of self-criticism, awarness that your country ain't as perfect as the gov paints it and so on

Can you pivot your data around order price? would be interesting to see if my impression that price and quality are pretty much linear where I am. (Not US)
Plenty of other things she notes were sexist; pointing out that one is just absurd. It's more or less the advice senior staff are encouraged to give junior staff regardless of context in almost every manager/senior training program I've ever been in.

I understand the argument you're making (that in this context it's sexist, even if it's not sexist in other contexts), I just completely disagree with it.
Couldn't agree more; but some people are genuinely, staunchly opposed to making a phone call. We all have our crosses to bear, and I'm glad that particular one is not mine. I find a 30 second phone call way more appealing than futzing with an app.

Worth noting that if I'm calling the restaurant, I'm doing a pickup order. Delivery, whether its through an app or not, is a pretty awful (and expensive) experience; and I avoid it whenever I can.

Well standards are not just for companies, they are of interest to individuals too.

That is a safe assumption to make.

> I agree with all of that, but there's also the idea that once the government decides you're guilty, they will find something.

I don't think the government had any vendetta against this particular person. (ie: Martin Skherli) However, she was probably investigated for money matters (ie: her tax reports) as she probably was shadier than Ben would like to admit.
That's interesting, it didn't used to be linear, particularly on the very large instances. Oddly when looking at the prices for RHEL those are much closer to what all the prices used to look like (I hadn't actually looked at AWS pricing in a few years). I wonder if AWSes virtualization tech has just reached the point now where all processing is effectively fungible and it's all really just executing on clusters of mid-range CPUs no matter how large your virtual server is.
First, that's maybe acceptable if you live in a place with such a great math education program available in the public system, but most of the world does not and limiting the options of people in a region to only attend the public option creates a local maxima.

What if someone were in a region where the math education program was #100 in the world? Would it not be reasonable to want to create a private program providing an education that is capable of producing students that are competitive to those students from your province? What if some parents from your province weren't satisfied with being #2 or #3 and instead want the option to send their kid to a local program competitive with the #1 ranked program in the world?

> and you aren't allowed to run a private school with a different curriculum - at all

That's some Harrison Bergeron level thinking that is blatantly liberty reducing.

You might say that I left off the rest of that statement, "beyond a certain amount of enriched tracks that are available to anyone.", but even that ignores the fact that resources are finite. Parents more invested in their children's futures might be able to pool resources together in the form of a more competitive private program for their children but not have enough resources for all children. One of those finite resources might be the ability to attract enough world class educators and still maintain a low teacher to student ratio that the teachers can have a significant impact on each child.
Australia doesn't use America's building codes. Australia has its own. And their "Australian chapter" is the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS) – which it is worth noting is not the Australian body which develops Australian building codes – that's the Australian Building Codes' Board (ABCB). The AIBS is the professional body for building surveyors, and as such while its members have some role in enforcing those codes, it doesn't develop them itself–although they are able to provide input to the ABCB's public consultations (same as any other organisation is.)

I don't know what the actual point of having the AIBS as a chapter of the ICC is. Probably an excuse for some overseas business trips.
This might explain why the disappearance was a surprise to me. I never paid much attention to the Subreddit, other than checking to see why there had been an unannounced absence of new episodes for several months.

I remember that both the hosts encouraged audience engagement in different ways — several episodes featured long discussions about topics on the Subreddit, and they solicited audience participation in various projects.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get that involved in a Netflix movie in a moving car. Is that a common thing?

But even in your scenario, if you hit vague awareness of the environment at 4 seconds, and you know you're taking over to drive... that 6 more seconds is more than enough to reach full environmental awareness.

> You were in a deep sleep?

You're not supposed to sleep for level 3. And "don't sleep" is not some ridiculous requirement. It doesn't even compare to the "be constantly vigilant" rule of level 2.
if you have children it can be quite a lot. A few friends of mine moved to the US to work and they're paying tens of thousands per year for two kids childcare / education, and they have two cars. Meanwhile in a lot of European cities good schooling and childcare is either free or heavily subsidised and you might get away with one car, if you need one at all.

It seems like in a lot of the tech hubs in the US you need to make ~120k+ for a middle-class family lifestyle whereas in almost all European cities with 50-70k you're probably good.
The article has cause and effect reversed. Peoples stereotypes, expectations, and "coded" language has created the results. When someone googles "Brazilian Women" or "Latina Women" they looking for porn and racy photos not pictures of normal women from those countries/regions.

There is all sorts of coded language that people use to get the results you want. Search "Black Women" vs "Ebony Women" and look at the difference in results. No one is searching Ebony unless they are looking for racy content.
They are not "trying to shoehorn male or female dominance here"

They are describing the shapes, and the orientations of the projectiles in terms of coital positions - with which, um, some percentage of the adult population has some familiarity.

Since there is no "correct" way to rank images, why doesn't Google return them randomly? Because they have _chosen_ a way to rank them, motivated by some goal (likely, "user satisfaction"). It is therefore reasonable to critique that choice.

Last time I checked in Australia, compliance with pay-for-access standards was required in many laws. It is outrageous, because it means you don't even know what you are legally required to do without paying some corporation money.

To add humour to the situation, I think that corporation got bought out by the Chinese at some point. Can't swear to that, I forget what is handled by SAI Global v. Standards Austarlia.

Anyhow the whole situation is a black stain on the idea of equal access to the law.
I was extremely surprised in claim that Natural gas is nearly as dirty as coal as that contradicted my intuition. So I did some Googling and was not able to find supporting evidence. Below is a quote from: https://www.gasvessel.eu/news/natural-gas-vs-coal-impact-on-...

> Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas-power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant.

From the above natural gas power plants do produce a surprising amount of CO2, but is far far better than new coal plants. Legacy coal plants also are a significant air pollution source, so if we get out of coal power plants by building out natural gas seems like a win.

Finally I checked renewables for South Australia and they seems to be doing really great at 53%, compare to U.S. at ~23%: https://indaily.com.au/news/science-and-tech/2021/01/27/sa-r...

List of currently operating power plants and the ones under constructions corroborates renewable energy percentage and actually suggests that South Australia is doing great on renewables: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Sout...

Yeah, I have encountered this myself in the past as well -- a subject matter expert that has worked in the domain for a decade and asks you about how to solve problems in their domain (while the actual position is a generalist one).

Luckily, I was able to remedy this a little bit by brushing up on common system architectures used by companies that I was interviewing with.
Some folks are nit-picking about which statements are really sexism and which are more universal. I can understand that but I think a better way for folks to sit with this is to pull back.

Homogeneous cultures are bad at understanding how they seem to outsiders. We all lose the trees in the forest. It's not exclusive to race or gender but it comes it in particular around identities (gender, inexperience, etc) that someone has. It's really easy to say a series of statements that an insider would recognize as referencing one quality (i.e. inexperience) but an outsider could easily mistake for referencing another quality (i.e. gender). In order to learn what insiders mean, you need to be in a space where you can hear what existing insiders mean, which generally means insiders should take care with their language.

This is one of the reasons I get suspicious any time "cultural fit" is brought up. It's often talked about as if the existing team has a 'good' culture, and new people might disrupt this existing good culture. However, whenever we discover a cultural mismatch between a new colleague and the existing norm, I suspect what is revealed is that the existing 'good' culture is hostile to certain other cultures. Sometimes that's a good thing (coders should be hostile to people who don't think typos should matter), but generally you want to avoid it.

To put it another way: people from new backgrounds let you see your organization from a different angle. It's a rare and valuable service. If folks are going around and saying things that are earnestly meant to be supportive, but are being heard as diminutive or reductive, that's valuable data! You can learn to not do that! Take the feelings of outsiders who you would like to be insiders seriously - as primary source data - in order to grow your org beyond what it is now.
Ah, sure, the next generation pays, even as they generate even more debt themselves. I acknowledge it's a Ponzi scheme. But well managed, and expecting consistent growth in the productivity of our society over generations, the Ponzi scheme won't collapse.

I am not sure mate. Yes, some things you mention sound annoying and insulting but still. You are an immigrant to the US, got a non US education, you got a job in Silicon Valley and you made it.

Honestly, I feel like I received more discrimination as a white, western European in the US than you did.

When I was still working in a university lab in the US, it was extremely diverse, with a strong bias/over-representation of Chinese people. But it was still diverse in skin color, heritage, religion, sex or whatever. I never saw any "insensitive comments" there, at least none that were meant in a bad way.
I would argue that POW tends towards specialization of the hardware, congregating power in few hands, so yes. Yes it is.

If you lived in a big city there'd be a gazillion places within 10-15 minutes that you could drive to without dealing with traffic or parking issues, assuming you're not talking about SF or Manhattan. Even with high-density places like those, depending on where you lived there might be a gazillion places within a 10-15 minute walk. The people that live in those cities still enjoy getting stuff delivered though, for the same reason that people in small towns do (time is money and convenience is time, so if you have more money than time, it can be totally worth it).
> Any decent genetics/medical class will thoroughly disabuse you of this notion.

That was my point: this is one reason why biologists are particularly unlikely to believe in God. (At least in places where the dominant form of belief-in-God gives prominence to the idea that God is responsible for the design of living things.)
Well, if you're a single guy WFH with a cool-idea for some medical tech and you want to build a prototype to see if it's worth starting a company, then 200€+ per PDF (per person?) adds up and becomes cost-prohibitive.

> It's kind of a stereotype of rural farmers in China.

Is it, though? The wardrobe seems a fair bit elegant for some rural farmer; I'd expect a straw hat and simpler garb.

I ain't familiar with Chinese formal wear from that time period, but if I were a child in the 1930's trying to imagine a formally-dressed Chinese man (i.e. the literary context of that depiction) that's probably what I'd imagine. The white rice contributes to that perception of wealth, too; from what I understand, white rice is a symbol of affluence in a lot of Asian cultures, and brown rice a symbol of peasantry (see also: the Imperial Japanese Navy's experience with thiamine deficiency because sailors subsisted themselves entirely on "fancy" white rice instead of brown: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/japanese-curry-history). The Chinese man's presentation alongside a formally-dressed magician contributes further to that interpretation.

Amen. GE is a perfect example. Lots of different nationalities and skin colors and a solid mix of genders. Every one of them came from well off families, went to elitist universities, came in as interns and worked there thier entire career.

No one was self-made. If you hired in mid-career you were seen as different and if you brought a different point of view they just nodded their heads and basically ignored what you said until you came around to thier point of view. The most non-diverse environment I have ever seen.

About 15 years ago I worked at a small ISP and one of my jobs was handling dmca take downs. Normally this was someone using bit torrent or other p2p software, and I would call them up and tell them to knock it off, or put a note on their account and block them until they called in.

One time it was IEEE, one of our customers was a college professor, and he was using his personal web hosting space (remember that?) To host his syllabus including a pdf of one of their standards.
