I'm not saying this isn't a problem, but human person unemployment is only so much money. It's magnitudes lower than the amounts claimed fraudulently by incorporated entities over the same pandemic period. And those incorporated entities don't have to worry about liability, or paying it back if some algorithm decides that, oops, you never qualified. They use "normal" financial cheating mechanisms like offshore accounts instead of cryptocurrencies.

I am an Asian who went to a state school and I don't think it's irrelevant. Regardless of Harvard's prestige giving a whole class of people lower "personal" ratings because of their race is racism, pure and simple. I even see startups like Canvas/Jumpstart [1] that explicitly allow recruiters to filter applicants by race. I don't know how this isn't illegal and I hope someone sues them.

I took a look at your post history and it seems very bitter about lost opportunities due to "elite" schools being preferred. As a fairly recent grad from a state school I offer my own perspective: private schools like Harvard offer much better support and less cutthroat competition, but if you can rise to the top in state schools then you have the same opportunities as everyone else. Making 300k at Facebook is more than accessible to half the UC's including ones you wouldn't consider elite at all. I know many people working at Big 4 accounting, bulge bracket banks, big tech, startups, VC, etc.

What it often (of course not always) comes down to is that they have experienced some trauma or unfairness that ruins their trust in the delayed reward systems that the survivor contingent happily takes advantage of. It's a much greater emotional load to maintain discipline when you experience setbacks that are out of your control, even partly. If 100 people break the law and 10 get the book thrown at them and 90 get away free, those 10 made a bad choice but they also were unlucky. The bad luck part will tend to weaken the cognitive biases that help people stay motivated, i.e. the just world fallacy, and move their locus of control outward. Risks become less appealing. Satiating immediate wants and needs over investing in long term ones may seem rational.

How do you address this issue? I think it's cheaper and better for everyone to address unfairness than to try to fix people after they come to feel abused by the world. It would also be better than the status quo of Social Darwinism with a sprinkle of charity and busted social programs.

You are probably directing this at men, but I've also heard this directed at women who were surprised to find out that working unpleasant jobs full time is actually not the greener grass they thought it was.

Or women picking a physical fight only to be shocked at a man fighting back.

> Women did not create the society that is hurting men emotionally and economically

The extreme elements of 3rd wave feminism has influcenced society in ways that unfairly and negatively impact boys.

Specifically the concept of "toxic masculinity". Toxic people are toxic. Toxic behaviors are toxic. Toxic people should be shamed and toxic behaviors should be discouraged.

Boys should not be shamed for being masculine, and masuclinity should not be discouraged.
I'm sorry you feel that way. Before you make up your mind, I hope you consider that this is what I grew up in:

https://imgur.com/Hw9zH9j

I worked hard in high school to get a scholarship to a third-tier state school, where I worked hard to get good grades and improve my logical reasoning skills enough to do very well on the LSAT.

Nothing about society was ever catered for me. I had to fight very, very hard.

And yes, I know others work just as hard and don't get the same opportunities. I'm not claiming the current system is perfect. "Ya gotta take care of business, ya gotta go to school, ya gotta get good grades to even have a chance... I'm talkin' about a chance!

For postgres we send WAL files to a server in AWS which processes them. To bootstrap the database initially we sent zfs snapshots, and those WAL files are applied on an ongoing basis. If our data center were to die a horrendous fiery death, we could lose, at most, about 3 minutes of data although monitoring shows that it's closer to 30s under normal operating conditions.

For the app servers, saltstack is used and we synchronize that repository with what is needed to reproduce a production environment in AWS.

Obviously we'd have to provision servers, etc, but it's all possible in a worst-case scenario.

That's a valid way to look at it, but there are other ways. Containers are also a simple, practical way to bundle applications and their dependencies in a relatively standardized way, so they can be run on different compute fabrics.

That sense of the term isn't loaded with any specific notion of how attack surfaces should work. I think modern "Docker"'s security properties are underrated†. But you still can't run multitenant workloads from arbitrary untrusted tenants on shared-kernel isolation. It turns out to be pretty damned useful to be able to ship application components as containers, but have them run as VMs.

No, because the branch predictor is just "on" or "off". You'd be wondering if you can make it not speculatively execute specific instructions.

I have studied and taught (as a graduate TA) at some of these institutions so maybe I am not objective, but some of your premises are flatout wrong. Especially when it comes to money: it is not the majority, but a substantial portion of undergrads in these institutions are from lower middle class or lower (economically) backgrounds. The rest are upper middle class and few are actually from rich families. The higher steps of the economic ladder are overrepresented simply because having money implies better K12 education in the US, which makes it easier to get into these schools. (Some more elitist policies like legacy admissions are slowly getting removed and "donations to get in" has not been a thing in recent history if ever)

And while the extracurriculars available are quite great, it is not a "daycare" and the rigors of education are very high.

PS5 Dev Kit vs. Playstation 5 – What Are the Differences?
This is a common anecdotal example of Simpson's Paradox. Even if work performance is positively correlated with college ranking, a subset of selected grads can have a negative relationship with the same variables.

The mechanism is the selection criteria. Presumably, college ranking and demonstrated aptitude are both metrics used for hiring. Thus, if the variables are evaluated additively, and the examined firm occupies a single tier of the ranking+aptitude space, the hired employees will have a ranking/aptitude that falls along a negatively sloping line, similar to a budget constraint.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_paradox
I have wondered this. I work at an American company with many European employees and it is just really hard to see a complete lack of ambition/competitiveness.

At some point being on vacation so much must hurt, I know projects are delayed when folks just can’t be expected to be there and will randomly disappear for 4+ weeks at a time. But that really doesn’t explain the extreme cultural conservatism towards effort/ambition more generally.

I feel like a Martian speaking an alien language when I try to get coworkers onboard with the idea of creating a competitive product or trying to be innovative at all. They just don’t want to do more than the bare minimum to compete. The concept of taking pride in the work and wanting to create something great is totally foreign. It seems like work is just a way to earn money for Europeans, which I sort of get, but I thought humans were supposed to be intrinsically motivated by pursuit of mastery/excellence?

I get that baguettes and wine and croissants and endless Mediterranean vacations are more enjoyable than work but ffs someone needs to put effort towards advancing society.
It makes more sense sense when you think of Glacier as a tier of S3, like Infrequent Access/etc which it is now. There used to be a Glacier standalone service but you had to upload a blob and track the UID to file name mapping yourself. That skipped S3 but was far more complex.

Workspace make more sense for large amounts of data where you can take advantage of the "unlimited".

Decades ago I read about a simulation aiming to evolve creatures that could walk, or one day run. The fitness function that determined how many offspring you get was “maximum speed ever attained in your life”.

They let it run for a while and came back to find all the creatures had evolved into extremely tall, thin stalks that would tip over and never move again. The top would be moving very fast before it hit the ground.
And we should educate people better about how to use these things safely and sparingly. Some people use them like candy, which isn't safe and isn't effective. (There seems to be some evidence, admittedly of poor quality, that using pain relievers more frequently leads to less effectiveness. This is just one reason why treatment of chronic pain is so difficult.)
For some reason the comment brought to mind the old folklore story:

Anyway, the story is that one day Apple executive Jean-Louis Gassee, who had recently transferred to Cupertino from Paris, had just parked his car and was walking toward the entrance of the main office at Apple when Steve buzzed by him in his silver Mercedes and pulled into the handicapped space near the front of the building.

As Steve walked brusquely past him, Jean-Louis was heard to declare, to no one in particular - "Oh, I never realized that those spaces were for the emotionally handicapped...".

In a market with rapidly escalating home prices, assuming you're interested in living in the same area for a long time (>5 years probably, depends) buying a house can be a good bit of a hedge against real estate inflation. Home prices going up (usually) drive up apartment prices. My mortgage won't change, maintenance costs won't change, property taxes might. But if my property taxes go up, you can bet rent prices are going to go up by at least that much, probably more. How many apartment complexes rent 5 year leases?
US monopolies couldn't penetrate into China without the Chinese government's say so. Xiaomi had its share of US and Indian sanctions (albeit temporarily).

Doing things together in groups, which leads to almost by definition having to build relationships, including romantic, seems like the best way, and that's how things were before Internet. Some commenters above hit kind of the same notes, and I wonder, maybe an app that builds a mixed group of men and women to do some activity together offline, would result in better outcomes. Of course this will be gamed in no time by the bad intentioned. I think the truth is, that finding a mate has always been a crapshot, and largely random, through out history of life itself. Internet does not seem very successful as a mating platform, I have never been a user of dating apps so what would I know, but maybe on average it's just a little better than randomly stumbling on potential life partners. Still, going out and meeting people instead of staring in screens feels more natural to me.
Most kids doesn't even get the recommended level of physical activity, I doubt they spend that much time playing organized sports. An hour a week isn't really a significant amount of time compared to how much time school takes.

And to add, if you go to less privileged neighbourhoods you'll see sports participation drop significantly, most don't do any sports at all. And the problems are much worse there. It might have been even worse if they did more sports, who knows, but I doubt it.

> According to the National Survey of Children’s Health, only 24% of youth ages 6 to 17 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day, down from 30% a decade earlier. B

Container tech can be used for small scale "pet" deployment, but my understanding is that the true benefit of containers come with seeing them as "cattle".

You should never login to the shell of a container for config. All application state lives elsewhere, and any new commit to your app triggers a new build.

If that's not for you, then while containers like proxmox/LXC can still be handy, you're just doing VM at a different layer.

The article was a bit hand wavey about how "they" complain about containers, and then uses the analogy more than explaining the problems and solutions.

If you meant to say, "young men don't have strong positive male role models", something most people would agree with, then you should have said that.
I see. My apologies, I should have specified “undergraduate” because that’s what makes the most difference in my particular field (not law). I have no idea what law progression is like after undergrad or what it takes to get into an elite law school that can offer upward mobility, but I do know it’s not uncommon to go to a top tier law school after a mediocre undergrad (Tim Kaine comes to mind off the top of my head) I personally know a handful of people from my undergrad at HLS (though they were full scholarship students who were overqualified to go to my undergrad and stayed away from the the simpletons like me).
Oh, of course, acetaminophen/paracetamol is a generic, so it makes sense the pharma industry would prefer to push consumers to pain killers that are still under patent, like orphenadrine citrate, or just straight up opioids.
Dating is a numbers game. The more dates you go on, the higher odds you have of finding someone compatible.

Sure you could be more picky and spend the same effort to go on less dates and maybe end up in the same boat at the end, you'll just get laid less often. And honestly, I learned so much about myself, about women, and about people in general by going on a bunch of average or below average dates.
As others have said, there are many other good schools for everyone, even for the Ivy Leaguers. But with the Ivy League you get cachet and connections.

I don't begrudge them. They can have them. They will have them regardless as you said. Why want to be the thing you don't like anyway.

At least it's not as bad as having to have attended the Sciences Po, or have to have attended Eton/OxBridge and the like.

The bad part of the higher education system is the skyrocketing costs facilitated by loans secured by the gov where you cannot dispose the loan due to bankruptcy, as you can most others.

I don't think a 4-year undergrad tuition should be more than the median of a first year graduate's full-time earnings of the degree you're pursuing.
Because you must cede a small part of your sovereignty to be part of that market. Switzerland had done this through treaties with the EU.
