>> “Meritocracy!”, I hear you cry. “They pick from the most talented students. The ones that worked the hardest to get into the most elite schools. The black students should have just worked harder”. I guess mummy and daddy paying $20 mil for a new library to get me a seat at an ‘elite’ school is still meritocracy eh?

yes everyone who gets into these schools donates a library. thats why harvard has 10,000 libraries. theres no jewish or asian students whose parents came here with a penny and worked menial jobs. its all rich white people.

and im sure if they didnt change the name this person would write an article about how they didnt change it because they are racist. racist if you do. racist if you dont.
I totally agree but I’m excited for some recent initiatives to fix this. https://www.researchallofus.org/ This research project is open even to at home scientists although I think some of the genomic data may reasonably not be as open as other parts.

The thread is about whether a for-profit service for Wikipedia is a good idea. The healthy finances show this is completely unnecessary for keeping the lights on, while the "slight" decline in editors (a huge drop relative to where it should be with continued exponential growth) shows that the health of the community is much more concerning. That suggests that the decision should be informed much more by its impact of community healthy than its impact on finances. The more Wikipedia becomes an organization monetizing the work of volunteers, with that money spent on cancerous overhead while the contributor tools languish for decades without meaningful improvement, the fewer people will want to volunteer.

For retirees, consider replacing some of your bond holdings in your portfolio with annuities [1]. A million dollars will buy you a ~$50,000/year annuity for life. That said, annuities have major downsides too (i.e., they are degraded by inflation).

The AWS service advisor assigned to our account would actively and frequently inform us ways of reducing the cost. Apparently one of their KPIs was cost reduction for their clients. The AWS docs may be bad at surfacing the cost information but their SAs more than filled that gap.

Sure, to be assigned an SA you’ve got to be above a certain spend threshold but still it’s a pleasant experience.
From the article:

Participants were randomly assigned to then either judge the veracity of each headline (accuracy condition) or indicate whether they would consider sharing each headline online (sharing condition)

So they use "accuracy" as an alias for "veracity". But they don't really need to define it, because the study is about what the participants think is accurate, not the researchers.

EDIT: Now that I've made it down to the methods section, I see that the wording they actually used was "We are interested in whether you think these headlines describe an event that actually happened in an accurate and unbiased way." So, their measurements refer to whatever the participants interpreted that question to mean.
Not all security threats possible are from mr. robot episodes and involve sophisticated hackers. There are also a lot of straight up dumb people out there with malicious intentions. This method is more like a speed bump.

Misinformation is a made up problem. With the amount of information we have now it’s trivial to push any narrative just by amplifying the “right” true information. It’s why every politician has a source saying they’re a sex offender. Most of the accusations are real but which one you believe depends on where you look. Or just look at all the articles that quote nobodies on Twitter.

The sentence right there is what a lot of people find inane and absurd, though, too. It’s often less a case of people not “getting” what the nominal intention is; it’s that people do get the nominal intention and think it’s an idiotic waste of time that’s being done to satisfy a pretty ignorant and narrow-minded view of language and history. It also has no limiting principle to what gets targeted except the energy of ninnies. It’s worth considering now where your line of tolerance is going to be - the point where you think, “okay, this has become too ridiculous, even for me”. Is it when I suggest removing “chain” from blockchain because it evokes slavery? Point being that many people see this issue with GitHub as having crossed the line of absurdity already.
OSX is going to be better for Node development. There are still many projects that assume a POSIX environment when you build them, and I assume you're deploying on Linux. You can mitigate this if you run Node solely in WSL, but it still has some interop issues, including with the filesystem.

The M1 Macbooks are an absolute dream and the best development machines I've ever used. If you can do this, it is the cheapest, fastest, lightest, and highest battery life option.

The 16" Intel has a great screen but is expensive, hot, and slower than the M1s, even when the M1s are emulating x86.

If you can't get an M1 for some reason, it's probably a wash between a Windows laptop (some models like the Dell XPS are really great hardware) and the 16" MBPr.

This is an extremely privileged and dangerously ignorant point of view.

There are more people living in slavery across the world right now than ever before in human history.

...because yields may continue going down. Other countries have shown us that 0% yield isn't even the floor.

A couple years ago, 30 year treasury yield was around 3% and people were saying the same thing...why would you own bonds. People who bought bonds at that time made good money as the yield fell further.
Yeah but that comment is kind of ignoring the segment for whom it does matter...

There are tons of free crappy apps on Android, but for the ones that generate moderate value and are paid for because they are functional apps and not games or ad-ridden networking apps then this is a huge change.

The "vast majority" of developers might just not be making apps that benefit from this but its a bit misleading to say this isn't a good change or helpful. If anything it will incentivize people to perhaps look into developing more away from an ad model into a sustainable paid model (given the margins just got 100% better)

The path to modern astronomy went like this: cultures that lasted a long time (Multiple hundreds of years) typically developed observatories that defined the yearly calendar as well as dates of religious observances. Many times, their observations got very accurate and they could predict various things, although surprising stuff still happened. Eventually, civilizations lasted through multiple solar eclipse cycles and noticed they were periodic (keeping great records for hundreds of years and maintaing a class of people who can work with them is nontrivial). This eventually led to people being able to predict nearly all planet's motions with surprising accuracy (see the antikythera mechanism).

So I think it's had a huge influence ,and one that ultimately led to a scientific understanding of the cosmos. At this point, JPL can predict the location of nearly every major solar object for decades into the future and the main challenege is determining whether object movement is truly chaotic.

I'm not sure it's quite immortality but yes, the stakes are pretty high. It seems likely that you'd not go public if you did this, though, so it's possible someone has already tried.

There are probably people ruthless enough and resourced enough that they might just grow a perfectly normal (i.e. full brain development) human and harvest them anyway. If you're rich through (say) organized crime already, what's the difference when it's your life at stake?

Ostensibly the only issues for those people are lead time (they'd need to plan ahead of critical illness) and sustaining a minor conspiracy (paying off the medical team and surrogate, managing trust, or just cleaning up loose ends).

I think we are almost at the end of the era of un-curated online information. As the technology to deploy bots that are indistinguishable from humans becomes more widespread, the proportion of online conversations that even involve humans is going to trend towards zero. Eventually, it's all going to be such hyperbolic noise that nobody will even pay attention.

This. I don't doubt that there's going to be a crisis and a reckoning, but I changed my mind in 2020 on what that crisis will look like. The Fed & government's actions (both during the pandemic and, in retrospect, in 2018) show that they're not going to let a financial crisis happen. Instead, we're going to get a currency crisis, since whenever asset values go down the Fed prints to restore them.

The fact that a currency crisis and hyperinflation seems unthinkable to many people pours fuel on this. A number of people are pushing the idea that we can and should print as much money as we can to get back to full employment (and even beyond that - "living wage" is the bar now), and they're being taken seriously in government. This has somewhat predictable results - other governments have believed it throughout history, and (like with many things market-related) the point at which people believe it is the point at which it's no longer true.
Yes, and as the grandparent comment pointed out, denying or questioning the existence of the bias is by itself treated as evidence of it. That's the vicious circle you can't win against - a non-falsifiable dogma.

> What's powerful about this name change is that it pushes us to alter a habit, in my case one embedded deeply in my fingers, something that I do every day without realizing that I'm doing it. Thus it is a useful reminder of the implicit bias that contributes to the lack of diversity in tech. Never mind that the old name was harmless, the change brings repeated awareness to an important topic, and it reaches a the developer community in a targeted way.

My guess is that it ingrains a different habit--patting ourselves on the back for 'defeating racism' via some banal change or other. Or worse, that it leads them to write off the whole movement as disingenuous for all of its focus on pointless endeavors. It's probably another drop in the bucket of things that make people actively unsympathetic and perhaps even drives them toward the open arms of the far-right. Call me cynical, but it seems unlikely that any substantial change is going to manifest from this. Just a little more self-righteousness for some people and a little more bitterness for others.

“Yes and so were the ancestors of every race on this planet at some point.”

Great point! Everyone acts like history started in the 19th century. When you take a step back and learn about history on larger spans, it’s obvious that enslavement was common all over the globe. More people should learn that the world slave originates from the ethnic name “slav”, because Slavic people from central and eastern people were frequently enslaved by Moors, who come from the north of Africa.

“The massive con here though is that eventually if you tell enough people they're victims of a system and can't help themselves it'll eventually cause real societal harm.....”

Agreed, and I’m afraid we’ve already reached that point.
It's a bias. Let's assume that all muggers wear red pants (or you have been mugged mostly by people in red pants). So when you see somebody in red pants you cross a street. It's surely not a textbook racism, since no race is involved. Also how do you know that anybody wearing red pants is a mugger? The tragedy of blacks is that they can't change skin color, unlike pants. This bias will exist until crime percentages will at least equalize between blacks and whites (do they?). You can call it a racism if you want but it doesn't change anything. I have worked with many blacks, I had zero problems with any of them, I don't consider them worse than me in any way, but I will cross that street. Sorry. There is a difference between a concrete person and statistics.

It wasn't watching the compiler output... it was choosing the components. You'll need A, B, C, etc. For each category there was often more than one choice. You had to choose which syslogger you'd use, for example. With RedHat or SuSE or other distributions, those choices were already made. You may not have otherwise known what options were available.

Imagine starting out with Linux today and not knowing that systemd isn't the only option for an init system. (Regardless of whether or not you like it, it's helpful to know what alternatives exist).

In the end, with Gentoo, when you had your config set, yes, you'd get hours of compiler messages. And if you were lucky, none of them would be errors.

But you'd also know how the system worked. Honestly, it was also about control. With Gentoo, you could configure the system exactly as you wanted, down to the compiler flags. How many other systems let you really do that? Instead of targeting a well-known arch (ex: i686), Gentoo let you set your compiler flags for the entire system to match your exact CPU. The upside was that it was your system. The downside was that it was your system and if/when it broke, you'd have to figure it out. If your goal is to learn how to use Linux, that's also a feature. If your goal is to have a stable server, not so much.

Like the original parent commenter, I was playing with Gentoo back in the early 2000's, so much has probably changed. But I definitely learned a lot back then.
I think balancing success biographies with failure biographies helps emphasize the HUGE risk inherent in entrepreneurship, and for that reason it's worth it.

Failure can often ruin your personal relationships, future, etc, just as success can enhance all of those.
Right I think it'd be way too expensive to store it on the Ethereum chain itself, and not good for the network if every node operator has to save a million basketball videos.

There are projects though with "trustless" storage, where people are paid to store data offchain, and they periodically prove they still have the data available.

I was on Reddit saying “let’s ask the black devs”! What do a bunch of non-black nerds really know about race in America. I’m white btw. That’s a lesson you have to experience; you won’t find it in a textbook or solve it with an algorithm.

Go to the (obvious) reference for this, and ask them (almost entirely) what should be done. It’s all about black people in the first place, just ask them. That’s not politically incorrect, not even “uncomfortable” if brought up appropriately in a formal context.
