What are these "regulations" that help little guys compete?

If anything, regulations hinder little guys from competing.

Whos passing laws? Who is giving money to politicians?

Hint: its not the tutors, community banks and its not the bodegas contributing to pols. Its the universities, monster banks, and supermarket chains.

> donations to get in" has not been a thing in recent history if ever

Did you miss the Varsity Blues scandal? Official donations are uncommon and more reserved for the Ultra High Net worth, but they are a thing, Jared Kushner was the literal poster-child for it.

The most prevalent and whitewashed pay to play path is getting your child do an expensive specialty sport (Lacrosse, Fencing, Crew, Equestrian) & hiring college advisors & SAT prep.

At least in South Asia they are also at that point working and in many cases supporting their parents.
$15/hr * 40 hrs/week * 4 weeks/mo = $2,400/mo and that's only during working hours. Which, chances are you're going to pay more than that, as that doesn't include that person's healthcare, that's pre-tax, and more.

Sure one can pay for a child care center, but that's not covering the whole cleaning and doing the chores around the house. Its also only 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

An at-home caregiver (note: I didn't say wife either spouse can do) can provide an immense amount of value.
Important true fact: Daniel Gritzer, the current editor at Serious Eats and a Kenji's former colleague there, is also a practically bulletproof recipe writer and is very underrated. It's Gritzer's Roman pasta technique I use, not Kenji's.

It raises the question of how they can find that many hits to be removed, they must be spamming the hell out of the index, and Google must be allowing it/providing an API.
It certainly isn't faster or more reliable for a single node, but this is just homelab stuff. Nothing in mine is particularly necessary. I think it's interesting because it's now accessible and receiving support from multiple vendors.

At some scale, it's nice to separate the two. You don't care much about where the disks live vs. where your compute is running. You can evict work from a node, have it reschedule, and not have to worry about replicating the data to another machine with excess capacity. Though I'm no authority on this topic.
> Young men today grow up almost entirely in female-dominated spaces.

That's bullshit. In American government, women make up roughly 30% of leadership positions. At work, unless you're a waiter, nurse, primary/secondary school teacher, or in HR, you're surrounded by men, and you only see more and more men the higher up you go.

> That is not normal historically.

That's asinine bullshit. Historical norms are not a model for current norms. A lot of people have plumbing, electricity, and representative government now, which is not normal historically. What I'm saying is, your appeal to historical norms is arbitrary and thoroughly shit.

Y'all are making women out to be devils and they're not. There's a college word for that (I had to look it up) it's called "misogyny". Ain't nothing wrong with women, or having women teachers, or women legislators, or women doctors and lawyers. Jfc, I literally can't believe I have to spell all this out in 2021.
The company I work for now pays substantially more than Google/Facebook/et. al and most people on my team are from random state schools, many with no experience at FAANG. You can certainly make millions from a pre-IPO startup (and I have 2nd degree knowledge of many people that did get rich off IPOs), but you're not making that at the Google of today.

I'm sorry you feel that way about your past. You should consider seeing a counselor. I've found that a growth mindset is important to ensuring you keep succeeding because there's nobody you can just copy once you've made it this far. Failures shouldn't be depressing but motivating instead. All this "I should have" thought should be "Now I know I should" instead. In your case, "I should have aimed higher" -> "I will aim higher now that I know". I can definitely empathize with you - I played video games all day in high school and only got into CS because of playing video games 5 hours a day and wanting to work with them. I screwed around freshman and sophomore year and destroyed my GPA. I came back and grinded and brought it back up the rest of my years.

Good luck. I'm sure you're more brilliant than you think if you made it to Amazon. If you ever need motivation go read the Reddit threads on people saying how hard it is to make it to Amazon.
Why Software Sucks?
Icecat is a fork of Firefox to rid it of proprietary services and DRM. It's got a different name because Mozilla forbids (or used to forbid) redistribution with patches.

Debian also used to do this until Mozilla changed their tune on a few things. Debian's version and Icecat both used to be named IceWeasel, though, making fun of Mozilla.
EISA never really mattered much in the PC market in my experience. It was quickly replaced by VESA local bus for video cards on many 486 motherboards, then PCI, AGP and eventually PCIe.

That said, there were a bunch of interesting chipset vendors in the market around the time of the 386 and 486. Byte magazine ran reviews of some PCs that had quite advanced L2 caches that really outshone their competitors. That eventually died out as CPUs became more complex and tightly integrated to their chipsets. Plus Intel really did a number by refusing to license most of their bus related patents around the time of the whole RAMBUS fiasco.

It's not though. Colace is primarily an emollient laxative i.e. it acts by softening stools and is not necessarily as active as the other kinds of laxatives in inducing bowel movements. As such you shouldn't expect it to provide a quick relief and it roughly takes at least half a day to a couple days depending on your diet and internal constitution to see results. It's possibly that delay that made you consider it a placebo perhaps.

> But the main point stands -- across all 5 boroughs, the vast majority of grocery stores are local chains.

I’m not going to do like others and say your main point is irrelevant because NYC is unlike the rest of America (although arguably it is an outlier in almost every way), but the fact remains your main point is incorrect, the ‘vast majority’ of grocery stores in NYC are not local chains. I’m not invested in this debate enough to prove it by counting the number of grocery stores in NYC, but I’ve already shown that 5 (if not more) of the top ten grocery store brands in NYC are regional or national chains, so that disproves your “vast majority” claim without further effort in my opinion. YMMV!

Edit: even one of the ones you mentioned (Associated) is a regional chain... https://www.asghq.com/

Edit2: Foodtown is also a regional chain covering three states per their website. Further, Western Beef even has locations in Florida which stretches even the definition of regional to me!
What are you talking about? You misspelled “Ethereum” and Bitcoin never forked with it. Its a totally different thing. Unrelated. Chain splits Are nothing like forking code in open source; forking code is this analogous to altcoins. LTC is a code fork of BTC.

Chain splits are more like a consensus failure and could be likened to a religious scism.

It’s generally undesirable and so are forked coins. There are many many fork coins that nobody cares about.
> "69% of Yale students come from the highest-earning 20% American Families" [1]. So the bottom 80% makes up 30% of Yale. Thats quite the under representation.

This is still very different than the image painted by your GP, at least in my mind.
Domain expertise looks like understanding all the pitfalls holistically and knowing the right ways around them. In the case you describe (deciding on technologies), this type of decision often falls to CTOs because they need complete understanding of all pitfalls of an eng department, many of which are business, people, or financial issues, not tech.

Technical advantages needs to be weighed against scaling up technical velocity (hiring developers). This is why you you might want to forgo more niche technologies for mainstream. However, if you're never going to scale past 3-10 people or the technology really suites your business case well (ie. whatsapp built on erlang), you can break that rule. Thought leaders on both sides will advise for either case, but stage 3 will know their requirements very, very well, and how to choose the right thing that will avoid all pitfalls. Another way to put it; if you hit an unanticipated pitfall down the road later, you didn't really understand the domain.

Some decisions are literally millions of dollars or more for the business, and can only be made once - in this case, you definitely want a stage 3 person who sees all the pitfalls. If you decide on lisp for your language and you can't hire enough developers to scale up, you might be bleeding customers due to lack of engineering velocity, or large price tag acquisitions may fall through because they can't do anything with your code.

Other decisions are worth 0 dollars to the business, and many engineers spend too much time on them trying to do stage 3 decision making. They usually do this with an incomplete understanding of the pitfalls (most 0 dollar decisions don't have pitfalls by definition, just a bunch of "better or worse" arguments from thought leaders - react vs vue anyone?).
> Nevertheless, if you want to store data for many years, investing in a tape drive may be worthwhile just for the peace of mind, because when storing HDDs for years you can never be sure how will they work when operated again.

You'd actually need two tape drives to be reasonably secure, because getting a SATA adapter is much easier if your current setup is broken and you need to access the data either many years later (when technology moved on) or right now.

Having your data on a few hard drives combined with some check-summing and somewhat regular checking is probably easier. Or a combination of both - two different storage systems with two different failure modes are a lot safer. But when you're going that way the break even moves even farther away.
I think dismissing a tool for its age/maturity requires a very specific use case; you must be starting a project now that you know will be very long lived.

The web is great because we have an insane amount of backwards compatibility. Old Wordpress sites and even geocities are proof of that. Those sites use pretty old browser tech but they still work.

The technology behind alpine will still work identically in 10 years (assuming browser tech stays on the same course it’s been following for 30 years). If you’re building a one off blog or a brochure site that’s a one and done project, then who cares how old the tech is? (Within reason and scope etc). You won’t be coming back to that project ever again.

I would argue that the case for maturity as a deciding factor, requires that your project live long enough to potentially need further support or features only made possible due to the extended investment into the framework.

I doubt all this bluster in Congress is anything more than rhetoric and posturing. There might be some settlements and watered down regulations, but that’ll be it. This is DoJ vs MS all over again.
> Life is a purgatory where you must suffer away from your family...

I would amend your statement to "Young life is a purgatory..." Mark Zuckerberg famously said he wouldn't hire anyone over 30. Silicon Valley is built on young people trying to strike it rich, which befits a state that started because of a gold rush. It's also built on companies exploiting young people who want to make it big. The same is true of the film industry in Los Angeles. It's a bargain young people are eager to take. China seems to have become successful by copying everything about Silicon Valley, including IP, but they still have stifling control at the top. Let's hope Democrats in D.C. don't do something similar and kill the goose who laid the golden egg.
Indeed, lack of CLZ is also pretty horrible making a lot of (de)compression and signal processing code needlessly much slower.

Bitmanip includes other some nice stuff that other CPUs lack-- but I'd give it up happily to be able to count on popcount and clz being there.

I'm doubtful with your academic origins speculation. Even MMIX has SADD. It may be more the case that CLZs and popcounts are relatively rare. But in essentially every case they're used there in some performance critical inner-loop. They're not even necessarily obvious in source code because modern compilers are smart enough to detect obvious constructions and substitute the instruction.

The world of arm is full of important extensions that are optional but the world gets by. Hopefully at some point someone will standardize some RISC-V edition that turns a number of optional things mandatory and after it becomes popular enough that's what people will target.
I haven't experimented with it yet, but I expect that over TCP things degrade more gracefully. It seems earlier iterations of storage over networking didn't want to pay the overhead of TCP and lost out on the general purpose benefits that it brings. IIRC some RoCE iterations aren't routable for example. In theory, you could expose your NVMe over TCP device over the internet.

It seems to me applications taking advantage of NVMe are focused on building out deep queues of operations which may smooth out issues introduced by the network. But only way to know is to benchmark.
Don't throw the edges away; freeze them and occasionally boil them down with water to make ... well, anything really: tea (with lemon, for an upset stomach), soda (sugar + dry ice or a sodastream), syrup (sugar + boil until thick), or just a great way to make your house smell like ginger.
Sorry, but I'm having a hard time sympathising with you rather than the people spending time with their friends and family and enjoying life. Life is not a purgatory unless you believe there is an afterlife, which many people do not. You are free to derive joy from hard work or whatever, but do not think yourself better than those who do not share your priorities.
If the client device has a TPM or some sort of hardware that can manage the secret you can leverage that. Otherwise, protecting against "attacker has a valid session" is not very easy. Even in the TPM case attackers with code execution on the device can likely bypass it.
People are building nested modals with it. You can get pretty far I imagine if you can keep yourself organized.
> the low work ethic

So you were missing "glory to overwork people to death" and things like "glory to force them to work on weekends, late nights and make them feel guilty and insecure about their jobs"? And things like "glory to people going bankrupt in hospitals", right?
> The results show that only in marriages are the majority of breakups wanted by the female partner. Men and women in nonmarital heterosexual relationships in the US are equally likely to want to break up.

Incidentally, the courts generally don't get involved in the later sort of breakup. If a for-profit industry were made for nonmarital breakups as divorce attorneys have made for marital breakups, I bet this discrepancy would narrow.

It's the chicken egg problem. Woman birthed man. Who's to blame?

In all seriousness, if we are to succeed as a society, then ignorantly maintaining what are mostly over generalizations and stereotypes related to gender is a failing proposition. And that involves anything that existed pre-the-whole-world-is-now-connected.

That means

> It's not a binary decision, people. We don't need to decide which gender/sex is "better" or "more right".

But, for most of our parents it was binary and decision was obvious.

People fantasize about going back to that. Even the young kids, Gen Z, which is most concerning. Something alarming is that this comes from a feeling of helplessness. That and similar feelings explains the increase in massacres, hatred, and even why terrorists traditionally came from countries in turmoil. The kids need to be feeling hopeful not helpless.
Women are calling out unwanted advances on LinkedIn
I see this a good bit. And it is hard to get into the psychology of the individuals. I would work any job I could get if I was unemployed. I have taken retail jobs when I was unemployed or we could use extra income. My wife has done the same.

A few people I know come to mind that reminds me of your nephews and I simply cannot understand it. Right now there are hiring signs up in almost every business in my town. I would rather work (if I could) than take unemployment even if it would be a pay cut.
> If you reduce the number of kids from rich and powerful families going to these places, you are going to drastically reduce the networking potential amongst classmates

Disagree. The biggest "network benefit" comes from the Alumni Network, the established recruiting channels & the prestige from the degree. These would remain if they took more poor kids.

Extra dollars go towards things you want, not the things you need, so there is quite an incentive to earn more even if it is highly taxed.

Quantitative concentrations in Harvard are probably the ones that are the least affected by legacy admissions and “holistic” reviews.
