This is completely BS. The activists have been trying for decades to bump up the percentage of Blacks and Latinos, and yet it's dominated by Asians. Asians are "stealing" spots from White, Blacks, and Latinos and it makes it hard to justify racism, especially when Asians are not only 40% of the G&T but also the poorest demographic in NYC.
The problem is that if you watch a news clip for informational purposes, say you want to know information about lockdown restrictions easing, you will get sucked into the most addictive news content. It takes a lot of self-restraint not to click on some of the accompanying recommended videos, they are all carefully designed to make you click.

And people's ability to self-restrain varies with mood. They are ready to catch you when your mood dips, or you are in an extremely boring situation.
Debatable claim that avoiding food waste saves anything. The cost of sending a person to your door with a quart of milk, might overshadow anything gained. And the idea of 'fridge no more' contradicts the 'no more food waste' idea, as you'll have to throw away anything left over that need refrigeration.

I never said it's not a general problem, it clearly is. But Facebook is still the biggest monster. If you have a rabid dog running around in a kindergarten, you don't just turn a blind eye and tell parents the dog has it's will and right to live the way it wants as much as the children, because "democracy". This is what Facebook essentially is at this point and that's what it's doing.

So my understanding – if you run VirtualBox on macOS, and you choose macOS as Guest OS type when creating your VM, it automatically turns GetKeyFromRealSMC on. That means you are using option (2) by default. You can always switch to option (1) instead if you want to, but if you are virtualising macOS-on-macOS, there is little reason to.

From reading the VirtualBox source code [0] – it also automatically enables GetKeyFromRealSMC if it detects Apple hardware, even if the host OS isn't macOS. So, if you install Windows on your Mac, and then create a macOS VM in VirtualBox, it will automatically select option (2) as well. (I think, they actually include the code to talk to the Apple SMC in their Windows and Linux kernel drivers too.)

(Note I haven't actually tried doing this myself, this is just what I gather from the source.)

The problem with the G&T program was that it did a better job of selecting for parental affluence (the ability to pay 4-5 figures for test prep for your toddler, and the time to navigate a byzantine system) than for inherent differences in student capabilities.

Strangely enough, there were also a very limited number of G&T programs, including none in many of the poorer areas of the city, so if you lived in, say, the west side of the Bronx (as a friend of mine did) and wanted to send your kids to a G&T school, your best case was a 1.5 hour transit commute to East Harlem. My friend and his spouse could do that because they had work flexibility (including the flexibility for one of them not to work), but poor people don't usually have that either.

Effectively, this works out to socio-economic desegregation masquerading as racial desegregation (because, for various historical and structural reasons, race in NYC is correlated to affluence).
Yeah lol, some people like the structure, other people don't.

> in NYC, Asians are the poorest demographic by a large margin.

Do you have evidence for this? Asians are by far the richest minority in the US so I was surprised by this statement.

> Activists have no problems openly discriminating against Asians because whites, blacks and Latinos think of "Americans" as whites, blacks and Latinos. Asians are considered foreigners. So when a prestigious program is dominated by Asians, something must obviously wrong, right?

Diversity means increasing representation. In a situation with limited resources, increasing representation for all means decreasing representation for some. This is the natural conclusion to pushing for equality/representation.

> Agreed, I don't know why the industry (or people?) in general have a problem with accepting this abilities gap.

I don’t think it’s that people have a problem admitting that there are significant outliers. It’s that there’s a backlash to the fetishization of “hiring 10x programmers” and most people claiming to be one really aren’t.

I know I’m good at it, but I am not and will probably never get to 10x on just writing code. I’ve worked with people who have a better claim to being a 10x. And having seen that, I have also never encountered any company that claims to hire 10x engineers that actually has a process to consistently hire even 1-2x engineers.
Why isn't going from $1 to $0 not realistic? Tether is completely centralized and has the ability to prevent token transfers on all major networks it operates on. They regularly add to their blacklist, much more often than other stablecoins. Were it seized by the DOJ, they could simply freeze all transfers subject to proof of AML/KYC and source of funds analysis. That would nuke the market for them immediately.

I believe FTX has some 10+ billion USDT on hand. That'll put a serious hole in their balance sheet. Not to mention whatever would happen to their futures insurance fund when the collateral evaporates. I'm trying to find my source for their balance sheet size, will follow up.

5. Software is a means to an end

Yes, yes and yes. Many times we lose sight of the fact our job is to support the business (money-making) functions of the company. The software itself isn't the end-all-be-all point of what the organization does unless you write open source software all day long and survive off donations. My gut tells me that most departments are like this and sees themselves as the core of the company but I think software engineers think of themselves more highly than most (and more highly than they should). A bit of humility would really help - myself included more than most probably.

I agree with a lot of what he says... A few points are a little off IMHO but I've only been doing this for a few more years than this gentleman. Perhaps I'll feel differently in a few more. :)

term.js was originally created by Fabrice Bellard -- see the headers of @chjj's term.js file [1]. Bellard wrote term.js since he needed a way to interact with his amazing port [2] of Linux to a web browser. Term.js had a non-open-source license and @chjj spent time a decade ago successfully convincing Bellard to relicense term.js open source (I watched and greatly appreciated this as it happened!). Xterm.js is a very significant rewrite and improvement of term.js, mostly done by Daniel Imms who is on the VS Code team at Microsoft; xterm.js is a great contribution of Microsoft to open source, and is used at VS Code's terminal. I watched all this happen over the years, visited Daniel at Microsoft, etc.; I think this is all very useful tech (e.g., we use it in JupyterLab and CoCalc).

> They might not even know the difference between a Facebook page and an actual web page

Yes, this is a problem. I have never met such people though, but I believe they exist.

> You just can't beat free and easy with the open web.

You can make free, easy and open without Facebook.

It's far from impossible to make a nice app which would let you choose a template, some customizations (way more flexible and probably even easier than Facebook at the same time) and put a website on any dirt-cheap shared PHP hosting which supports FTP, SFTP or Git. I could make it myself if I had some time to spare, people would just have to sign-up at GitHub, click and get a page there, and even a QR code to put on their door/cards :-). But even if I made it I doubt many people are going to use it - Facebook is too popular already and it also provides them with an easy way to advertise.

Any (or almost any, perhaps really poor governments exist, I dunno) government can also easily afford to contract a shared hosting provider to give every citizen and every small business a simple web site. This would be a win for the government as they would hugely improve their nation digital independence this way.
Similarly, I consider that the vaccine passport in NYC is racist (in effect if not in intent). By not recognizing infection-acquired immunity, it disproportionately forces Black people to take a vaccine that they do not need. This is because Black people have suffered higher rates of infection (partly due to the fact that they were more likely to work in person during the pandemic). Moreover, for historical reasons (see [0], [1]), Black people have lower rates of vaccine uptake, so the vaccine passport mechanically excludes a higher proportion of them from public spaces.

> Where did you see that? I looked up GP and didn't find that 1.5 year time anywhere.

In the appendix of the Gallup link from GP, the <1% figure is calculated by dividing the total number of hospitalizations through August 9, 2021 (which is roughly 1.5 year after the pandemic started*) by the average unvaccinated population through that same timeframe. That doesn't result in hospitalization risk if infected, it results in hospitalization risk if infected multiplied by risk of infection.

* Actually, now that I'm looking at the actual CDC data instead of taking their word, the figure they used is for hospitalizations from August 1, 2020 through August 9, 2021, so it should be a year instead of 1.5 year (and their adjustment for reduction of unvaccinated population due to vaccinations is off, so the 0.89% is an underestimation). Doesn't matter for the point I'm making here, though (except to reinforce that we should leave statistics to the professionals).

> I don't believe there is any place on earth where you can poll people and reach an average response of >50% to the question "what is the probability that you would catch covid AND be hospitalized for it over the next 1.5 years, if you don't get the vaccine".

I agree, the people asked probably interpreted the question differently. This makes presenting the result of that question in opposition to the <1% figure misleading, since they are numbers for different things.

> current strains of COVID, which hospitalize something like 1% of infected

This is and cannot possibly be correct. The CDC reports that the US has had 3.1 million COVID-19 hospitalizations since 1st of August 2020, on a population of 329 million. If only 1% of infected is hospitalized, that means by now everybody must've had COVID. That's clearly not the case. Furthermore, if we add hospitalizations from before August 2020, clearly hospitalizations of the population already exceed that 1% number.

You're right though that it's hard to accurately calculate infection hospitalization rate, because counting infections is hard. It has been reported to be somewhere around ~5% in the unvaccinated population, but I can see it being anywhere between 2% and 8% (probably depends on the characteristics of the population under study as well). Since August 2020 the US also reported 39.2 million cases, which gives an upper bound of 7.9%, and assuming three-quarters of infections are asymptomatic gives a lower bound of 2.0%. Note that since a significant part of the population has been vaccinated during that timeframe, and the vaccines protect better against hospitalization than infection, the current infection hospitalization rate is lower than that in the unvaccinated.

The hospitals are in much worse shape after terminating all the unvaccinated staff. When they "give" you that as the reason for what they are doing, they are lying. If that was truly their motivation they would have increased hospital capacity, not reduced it. And now that "the hospitals are overwhelmed" is justification in the public's mind for sweeping emergency powers, you should expect them to be some level of 'overwhelmed' (at least, according to the press) in perpetuity.
This isn't novel research. A lot of it has to do with an effect where our bodies will secrete insulin in response to a sweet taste or even just something in our mouth. Insulin will decrease release of fat energy and turn on exclusive sugar metabolism. Without the expected influx of glucose, blood sugar will drop, making us hungry and stressed as we attempt to come back into homeostasis.

Some people underestimate the power of food cravings. The amount of willpower needed to overcome cravings as a result of starvation can be monumental. Some people have never experienced starvation level hunger in the first world. Some people experience it every day by choice.

Your brain will re-wire itself to think of nothing BUT food and how to acquire it. You notice colors associated with foods. Smell becomes heightened. I once smelled what the neighbor was cooking two doors down and felt an overwhelming urge to knock on their door. Commercials for food are endless. One time on a walk, a white-tailed deer walked by and I had the feeling of a NEED to run it down and kill it with my teeth.

Real hunger, experienced by people every day, is almost at the level of psychosis. Trying to hold a job, raise kids, keep a house, and have a relationship while starving yourself to not be fat is nearly impossible as it is. Artificial sweeteners aren't going to MAKE you eat. But they will make you even more miserable.

That would likely need to be built for every version of MacOS that's ever been made, it's easier to emulate the hardware and provide the key it's looking for. That part alone shouldn't violate any ToS or laws on it's own, as long as the key isn't provided by the emulator/vendor. That will still allow you to
still virtualize MacOS on the actual hardware (as is required by the license of the OS) without having a hacky patch in place that could lead to crashes or failures to boot whenever an update is applied to the guest.

No program was provided. The kids were just labelled. The label was a placebo, and it worked.

Straw-man examples of differences in kids are cute but not helpful. The issue was the imbalance in NYC advanced programs was clearly racial, which begs some kind of correction. Or do we have to resort to "Black kids aren't ever smart enough?" Is that your argument?
Related, I'm absolutely in favor of everyone moving to a state that matches their priorities, but if someone prioritizes "highly-ranked public schools" then you might want to look closely before moving to a generic "red" state. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/public-scho...

There are absolutely "red" states like Nebraska with good public schools, and "blue" states like New Mexico with poor public schools. But there does seem to be some kind of positive correlation between how "blue" a state is and how highly their public schools are ranked.

So if your "blue" state has you itching to pull your kids out of public school, a "red" state may not be significantly better.

When I read the headline I was upset, why get rid of a program that challenges eager young minds? Then I read that the current system tests 4 year olds, and puts these kids on separate tracks. 4 year olds! I'm all for challenging different kids with different levels of material, but the current system of testing and separating kids out starting at 4 years old is absurd. That being said, I think by age 8 (3rd grade) it makes sense to give kids different levels of material so they don't either get bored (because it's too easy) or give up (because it's too hard).
