This paper examines discrimination based on startup founders' gender, race, and age by early-stage investors, using two randomized controlled trials with real venture capitalists. The first experiment invites U.S. investors to evaluate multiple randomly generated startup profiles, which they know to be hypothetical, in order to be matched with real, high-quality startups from collaborating incubators. Investors can also donate money to randomly displayed startup teams to show their anonymous support during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second experiment sends hypothetical pitch emails with randomized startups' information to global venture capitalists and compares their email responses by utilizing a new email technology that tracks investors' detailed information acquisition behaviors. I find three main results: (i) Investors are biased towards female, Asian, and older founders in "lower contact interest" situations; while biased against female, Asian, and older founders in "higher contact interest" situations. (ii) These two experiments identify multiple coexisting sources of bias. Specifically, statistical discrimination is an important reason for "anti-minority" investors' contact and investment decisions, which was proved by a newly developed consistent decision-based heterogeneous effect estimator. (iii) There was a temporary, stronger bias against Asian founders during the COVID-19 outbreak, which started to fade in April 2020.

It's difficult to extricate for the reasons you mentioned - various textures interfere with extracting it. But it's also surprisingly difficult to purge once you extract that fingerprint.

Astronomers (I presume) do much more in the way of non-uniformity correction (NUC). Often one of the biggest differences between consumer cameras and industrial/scientific ones is the ability to continuously recalibrate them, either in firmware or in post. You could do the same with off-the-shelf cameras and some software, but there's little need most of the time.
You seriously need to read up on Scandinavian economic history, because you have it exactly backwards and this isn't even something that is disputed.

Update:

> I throw that advice back at you.

You're wildly extrapolating using the already established bad measurement of GDP. Do you believe that social democracies primary concern is increasing GDP per capita? Have the living standards been significantly worse in Scandinavia? No, the opposite.

Economic growth is not an end in itself, it's also not an indication for how well off he people in Scandinavia are compared to others. It's indisputable that the average Scandinavian citizen has enjoyed very high living standard for the last 80 years or so. Even with very large public sector and high taxes. This blatantly disproves the notion that this is not possible as you suggested above.
So because two rioters left their guns at home, it wasn’t a coup? Keep moving those goalposts, buddy.

5G is just capitalist marketing bs to give you a reason to buy new devices.
My guess is that they make sure that you don't doubt your purchase. You could send it back if a competitor gets into your head. Additionally, if you don't doubt, you become loyal to the brand and you will recommend it in your network.
When you finish middle school, you're supposed to learn most of kanjis used in real life.[0] At that point it's pretty rare to encounter kanjis that are completely foreign to you.

But there's electronic dictionary on which you can draw to search for kanji.[1] I used one of these in high school.

Wokeism is the fastest growing religion for a reason.
You would really have to stretch the definition of religion to breaking point to justify that comparison though. Secular humanism is fundamentally different in the way it was born, how it tenets are formulated and how it's practised compared to say to Islam or Christianity. Reducing both religion, as practised by billions of people, and a secular belief system to just philosophical systems does neither justice.
Oh yeah I use it everywhere. The ideas are live on prod on a number of sites.

My recent fun public focus now is to power Scroll, (https://scroll.publicdomaincompany.com/). "Scrolldown" now powers my blog (an example post: https://github.com/breck7/breckyunits.com/blob/main/insist-o...). I think from what I'm seeing so far Scrolldown may be one of the first Tree Lang breakouts. Simple but powerful from extensibility.

TreeBase is used extensively at a few moderately successful websites. I think Tree Notation (or 2D langs generally) will be used OOMs more in this domain. It integrates so incredibly seamlessly with Git.

At Our World in Data Tree Notation is used for the researchers to build interactive data visualizations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn2aJA5ANUc&t=145s). That one uses it's own implementation called "GridLang" because I didn't want to depend on jtree, which is a bit too R&D for a site with that kind of traffic. The 2D lang/Tree Notation ideas are so simple that it's easy to roll your own code and you don't have to use "jtree". I view the "jtree" project in a way as just an experiment to confirm that yes, you can do anything/everything without any visible syntax characters. Space is all you need.

On the contracting side I'm helping a crypto group with a shockingly ambitious 2-D crypto.
Hmm.

I wonder why the dichotomy. Where I was, it seems the inverse.

Data points re: 1541 reliability:

* all were early adopters, but moved to the Amiga within a year of A500 release. So there is an end-time bracket here.

* I had a VIC20, was an early C64 adopter, and most people I knew were too. So, a start time bracket.

* all drives were bought in Canada

I'm thinking, maybe source plant for drives, PLUS, maybe earlier bought drives were more robust/more expensively made. Fewer cost saving measures?

So hard to tell now. :/

A mere beginning to the end of flagrant double standards and the plebeian concession to live under them would be a dandy start. Since we're unwaveringly barreling toward the panopticon anyway, why not do so properly and see along the way who the true believers are, those willing to make genuine examples of themselves. The world should know Jeff's shower thoughts - they'll probably be foisted on it soon enough and skull bracketed AI cameras with thought-monitoring ultrasound would do well to keep everyone informed in a timely fashion. Until we wangle that, we have smartlocks, which could integrate well into a sort of prebreakfast polygraph which scans our general intent before unleashing us into the outside world where we might stretch the truth, make mischief or think in an unutilitarianly beneficial way. A morning multiple choice questionnaire could substitute during outages or glitches. We'd carry the completed form as we do driver licences. Real ID, Real Intent, auditable by any citizen on demand.

Seriously? Start with your standard orbital space station. Add a bit more structural support and stiffening, then lower it into the atmosphere and use balloons to keep it at a set altitude. Voila, cloud village. Repeat as needed until your village is a city.
I don't know about you, but occasionally some location services on my or my family phones say that we are in another city. I think that happens based on IP and that IP probably is in another city, latency comes from providers tunneling all that traffic to their centers first, probably for many legitimate reasons, not just on a whim. 5G is supposed to solve that, at least that's my understanding.

In my opinion, mainstream American Conservativism fell from grace long before Trump. Coincidentally for the topic at hand, I believe it was when they made a pact with the evangelical Christian community that they lost their way.

An ideology can not support both small government and personal freedom and fight for banning abortions and gay marriage. They are, on their face, opposite beliefs, but the Republican party needed to bolster their base, and taking on the religious community was a marriage of necessity. Unfortunately any coherent message of actual Conservativism has been lost in that attempt.

> Everyone worships something - either God, the State, or oneself.

This is false equivalence. The common use of the word worship does not describe how everyone acts towards things that interest them. And people devote their lives to a greater variety of things besides the government, themselves, and non-falsifiable entities.
It's no longer musical notation, but audio recordings that are the "text," or primary source for popular music. This principle applies even only from a practical perspective, as the pedagogy of popular music has a heavy emphasis on listening to and replicating or transcribing audio recordings.

But more fundamentally, you're approaching from an outdated common practice-period perspective what should be understood from a (post)modernist, electronic framework. Transcribing Stockhausen or Xenakis into notation would be a worthy endeavor, but the output of such an effort is secondary to the recording itself. Not just in terms of importance, but in that the recording represents the ultimate creative decisions and expressions made by the musician, whereas the notation is a mere reduction produced for convenience. This was certainly not the case for classical music, but music has changed since then.

And so the same goes for jazz, rock, or any other popular genre. Our music has evolved in such a way that those musical elements that do not lend themselves easily to being written down in standard Western musical notation have become central to the expression and stylistic idiom thereof.

Finally, if you're interested in what I've had to say, look up a concept called "notational centricity" by musicologist Richard Middleton, and a book called "Everyday Tonality" by Philip Tagg.

Are you familiar with Chesterton's writings? In particular his criticisms of capitalism?

“Comforts that were rare among our forefathers are now multiplied in factories and handed out wholesale; and indeed, nobody nowadays, so long as he is content to go without air, space, quiet, decency and good manners, need be without anything whatever that he wants; or at least a reasonably cheap imitation of it.”

Why not compare Sweden and Norway, in many ways a better comparison in culture, population density and geography than Sweden and Germany? …oh.

See, I didn't specifically went with countering the OP line of argument because refuting BS takes an order of magnitude more effort than slinging it. It's something anyone who did try to reason with generally unreasonable people so abundant lately can attest to. The laminated checklist from March 2020 above just gives that vibe of someone brining up their homework here and all reasoning is going to be futile.

Incredible miniseries, starring Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. It advanced television and not with special effects or anything technical. Commenting on what it means to be a man, a woman, an American, human, and more.

From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonesome_Dove_(miniseries):

Lonesome Dove is an American epic Western adventure television miniseries directed by Simon Wincer. It is a four-part adaptation of the 1985 novel of the same name by Larry McMurtry and is the first installment in the Lonesome Dove series. The novel was based upon a screenplay by Peter Bogdanovich and McMurtry, intended to star John Wayne, James Stewart and Henry Fonda, but the film was never made after John Ford advised Wayne against it. The eventual television miniseries stars Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. The series was originally broadcast by CBS from February 5 to 8, 1989, drawing a huge viewing audience, earning numerous awards, and reviving both the television western and the miniseries.

An estimated 26 million homes tuned in to watch Lonesome Dove, unusually high numbers for a Western at that time. The western genre was considered dead by most people, as was the miniseries. By the show's end, it had earned huge ratings and virtually revamped the entire 1989–1990 television season. A favorite with audiences, as well as critics, Lonesome Dove garnered many honors and awards. At the 1989 Emmy Awards, the miniseries had 18 nominations and seven wins, including one for director Simon Wincer. Lonesome Dove also won two Golden Globes, for Best Miniseries and Best Actor in a Miniseries (Robert Duvall).

> if you can demonstrate remorse and desire to change, it goes a long way

It sounds like you're presuming to know more about what happened there than you can. I fully expressed remorse, and explained how in hindsight I understand that what I was doing was disruptive, and that I wouldn't behave that way in the future, etc.

Their rubbish analysis was just that. Also, how is "slouching" a fair thing to observe in analysis? I sit with bad posture. I did then and I do now. It's completely irrelevant.

Oh, I should also point out that by this point I had been clinically diagnosed with ADD - which they expressed, and I'll have to paraphrase as it was about 13-14 years ago, was "made up" and that it couldn't possibly explain my behaviour.
It's as if directly when they draw some random conclusion about someone, they stop thinking, stop evaluating that person any more.

And they go on believing forever that that weird first random idea they got, was right.

(I might be exaggerating a bit.)
This part here is potentially misleading:

> Without a written language or direct sources, the language or languages they spoke ... remain unclear.

This is not quite the case. It is the mainstream consensus – and has been for many, many decades – that the Scythians spoke Iranian languages ancestral to Sarmatian and Alanic. See the article on the Scythian language [0] in the Encyclopedia Iranica, the standard reference work for this field. This finding is based on onomastics (Scythian names in Greek sources), as well as loanwords into the Uralic languages spoken just north of the steppes. What is unclear are dialectal divisions within Scythian, not the general affiliation of the language.

Random Turkish nationalists on the internet sometimes say that the Scythians spoke a Turkic language, as there have been some crackpot publications claiming this. However, with regard to the millennia BCE this is not taken seriously among historical linguists.

Really cool to see a "day in the life" of someone in some profession, to get a feel for what it's really like. And it also gives you a sense for what practice looks like, and what's necessary to get good.

It's a nice way to feel part of a community, too. If there was a way to get on stream with a bunch of other people practicing, I find that more motivating to practice myself.

Indeed, this is what I miss most about not being in the office: seeing people modeling good working behavior. I find it much more motivating to have that in my immediate environment.

it's always seemed to me that the serious problem with Venus is it's rotation speed. if it wasn't so slow I think you could turn it into a legitimately nice planet very long term. Mars on the other hand lacks the necessary macros, it's likely always going to be a rough place to live.
Mars' ground will not burn you to death, but the occasional solar flare due to missing magetosphere might, or the cosmic radiation, or the toxic soil.
English is not easy to learn (or teach) without being [involuntarily] exposed to it in one way or the other since childhood.

One of the best examples of the convoluted mess of ambiguities and exceptions in English: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23581841

It's particularly frustrating when English-speakers arrogantly make fun of other languages (like Chinese/Japanese) as if English doesn't have its share of stupid shit.

Sounding out, e.g. place/people names, in Japanese is difficult and sometimes impossible if they use a one-off reading of the kanji.
At what level does wealth go from "normal wealth" to "oligarch wealth"? Like, where is that line?

Also, on what planet could Bezos be described as an oligarch? Not this one. Everyone on the left and the right hates him for various reasons. The previous president hated him. This president just told his workers to unionize. Senators are constantly portraying him as Satan incarnate.

He has no political power in Washington. They hate him.

Initially, I wanted to go way further and add 3D avatars dancing like the connected users. This would use the webcam + bodypix to map the user dance with its 3D avatar.
