Not usually the case under UK law at any rate.
My sense of the term is that it is intended to be inclusive: not just black people but also Asians, South Pacific, Native American extraction, etc. so it’s not referring to the same group of people.

"you find a problem you deal with on a daily basis". Nope, not necessarily. Depends on where you work. If you are a cog in a big company, slaving away your 9-5, then no. You would NEVER get an idea that some finance folk would love to get an excel addin where you can click together in a simple GUI a data fetch from API, or whatever.

Getting a few orchestras to retune to 432 Hz was Lyndon LaRouche's greatest accomplishment -- right up there with the "public relations technology" of L. Ron Hubbard.
Super underrated show. The other shows by the same creater Gilomore Girls and Bunheads are also great.
That is partly true and they have been doing this for two years now. Regular readers would have notice a lot more leaks coming out from website and tweets than usual. And I think their sales and marketing department did an exceptional job during Intel's darkest hour.

Not that is matter much because both Intel and AMD was constrained by capacity.
I think fame is on average a truly great thing, though it can of course also destroy you, in rare cases.

This is speculation, as I am not famous.
“X is better than Y” is subjective, so kind of a silly position to debate in the first place.

It would be interesting for me to know what he meant by “better”. More efficient? More prestigious? More collaborative? More visionary?

One of the main reasons I started sharing an ALB is because I had Terraform build a whole web stack's infrastructure for every Pull Request, test the app against that stack, then destroy it all on PR close... and that was hitting the limit of # ALBs per account. Sharing an ALB allowed us to scale that CI process without hitting the limit [as quickly].

Integrity involves placing our duties to others in the proper order.

Sometimes that means doing stuff to benefit "your own." sometimes that means blowing the whistle on something. It really depends on the context.
He isn't right; owning something successful doesn't prove you caused the success (and I never said it did), but it is a strong indicator you caused the success, and more importantly past successes are leading indicators (not absolute assurance, however) of future performance.

Acting like I claimed some "proof" or "absolute certainty" around this topic is disingenuous and manipulative, which is why I stopped engaging with him, and honestly am suspicious of you as well.

Telling me that I believe something I do not is not a good way to interact with others, and it's not likely to breed positive discourse.

This topic is a lot fuzzier than the language being used by you and the other commenter, and it's not possible to have a civil conversation with people who don't get that.

I can still see all of my Talk/Hangouts/Chat history going back years. Removing XMPP sucks, and I was annoyed by that too, but the chat history is still there.
When the scale of data goes up, so does the complexity of managing it. Deleting 100 rows from a live psql table with 1000 entries is very different from deleting 100M rows from a live table with 1B entries.
I read it as they sold later (amount of time unspecified), so presumably they continued to grow before the Microsoft offer.
Don't assume they haven't performed experiments. If performance improves after removing devices from class, in multiple classes in various situations, teachers won't be relying on "intuition" to know what's going on.
> "know when to stop selling"

I disagree. Stop over-selling, maybe, but at the end of a sale, there's a buyers remorse window. And you need to make sure you're communicating with the "buyer" and strengthening their resolve so they don't get cold feet. This applies with selling, hiring (esp after the candidate signs), etc.

A good way to do this is to make sure to remind them of why they bought in the first place.
I believe everything you need to know about who would be responsible for this kind of "mistake" is right here from the article:

> Our own internal tool worked well (I would like to say it was all due to me, which would be an arrogant thing to say, but also 100% true, so I will say it: It was all or mostly due to me)

This is a person who is incredibly overconfident in their limited skills and hasn't yet developed any sort of self-awareness or self-reflection. The fact that the rest of the article blames everyone else for his mistakes further proves the point.

> I could have tested it better, but that would have meant working late into the night. No thanks. I had already worked a few late nights/weekends and I was done.

Uh huh.
> opioids are massively under-prescribed for those that actually need them.

Absolutely.

While reports of ODs are endlessly bullhorned, millions in pain get demonized by algorithmic opioid blacklists, get ignored by news orgs/legislators addicted to opioid hysteria and get gaslighted by a public who only hears the bullhorning.

I have a lifelong friend with visibly crippling arthritis. He lost access to effective pain meds after the state passed a 3-day-max on opioids (passed >10 years after the pill-mill problem abated). Over the year that followed the law's passage, every Dr in his network (along with most Drs in the state) ~stopped Rx opioids. The (now fewer) pain mgt clinics are overloaded and not accepting patients.

His remaining avenues for pain relief no longer involve Dr's.

I had emergency abdominal surgery this year and had to convince the discharging Dr to prescribe Tramadol. Our new normal is for ERs/Hospitals to undermedicate patients in pain with OTC analgesics.

So yeah. Shout out to folks who are hand-waving away millions in pain - because pharma is greedy or because folks can't differentiate responsible Rx opioids from street fentanyl (that many in chronic pain turned to in desperation after they were cut off from safer pain relief).
> Anyone who insists too loudly that 'they can't make Blazing Saddles' is probably looking to have the surface level of those jokes, without noticing the real target of 'em.

And that assumption is the problem.

This made me chuckle, as this is pretty common in the midwest.

My first job was at 12 years old; I drove a 6 wheeled grain truck for our family's farmer friend in the July heat to help with his wheat harvest.

No a/c, windows were stuck down, 3 speed. Bruce, the farmer, rigged up a pedal extension for me on the clutch.

Plenty of kids down here can drive a skid steer, tractor, truck, or loader.

> For example, if your server is erroneously sending traffic with private IP addresses out of its public interface, they will block the server without warning.

I had a CS class last semester where the students used some Hetzner cloud servers. I always got an email or two before having the servers IPs blocked. And it were mostly students' faults by choosing easy passwords..

I recommend Hetzner! No affiliation, just a happy user..
It's not unlikely at all. We're talking about numbering four tiles in a square, right? There are only two natural ways to do it for anyone who writes in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom language:

1 2

3 4

Or (less likely):

1 3

2 4

In binary, note that both of these patterns naturally assign one bit to left-right, and the other to up-down, which is a very desirable outcome. E.g.:

00 01 (0x row)

10 11 (1x row)

(x0 (x1
col) col)

I bought the 14 inch 10 core with 32gb ram upgrade. Using it for coding. I am replacing my current 13 inch i7 with it. I got the 16 inch i9 but it’s pretty heavy and not so portable so I picked the smaller model to upgrade.
I would argue a competitive salary at 18 can make the world of difference for a graduate who doesn't have the resources to attend college (as long as they were taught financial literacy by a parent or school)
I've been their customer for over 2 years, no problems at all and I'm very happy with their prices and offering. Started with dedicated server and now I'm also using their cloud services for some of my EU-based clients. Can definitely recommend, I much prefer Hetzner vs no-name VPS providers when I need cheap VMs.

> .5¢ per 1000 items LISTed seems insanely expensive considering how cheaply you can transfer terabytes of data with S3.

Correction: I misread - .5¢ per 1,000,000 items LISTed

.5¢ per 1000 LIST operations
LIST operations max out at 1000 items

Still a little pricey, but way less so than I'd imagined.

Do they make a lot of money off of charging for basic operations? It seems like you could make the whole pricing structure a lot more friendly by only charging for bandwidth use. I guess when you're as dominant as S3, you don't need to care about friendly pricing structures.

Charging for basic operations like that is weird, it's akin to a service charging people per number of clicks on a website.
Those small players aren't comparable to AWS. They might be sufficient for your needs, but the only players at AWS scale are Azure, Google, and Alibaba. Their prices and billing practices are basically identical.
Even if/when they don't fully "own" the phones, users ought to always be able to access their data (at least for backup) and call emergency services (which is a legal requirement in many countries).

More generally and regardless of time pressure, I can't believe someone can "play" with such test a script (used with a production tool) without even thinking it might fuck up and hit real phone numbers... (and if the developer was aware that his approach might fuck up, then he should make his boss aware that he had no time to fully test the feature rather than play russian roulette. Time pressure is not an excuse for everything...)
The headline says South America. I don't think they use UK law.
It is a straw man because nobody believes that:

- The story is linear (the stages are followed in order, with no going back) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal_collapse

The other parts are not that clear cut - but for most of the list there is no 'mainstream' consensus. For example: progressive (the stages are “stages” in the first place, leading from lower to higher, more primitive to more sophisticated) - everybody believes that at least the past civilizations had some good sides and it is now quite mainstream that hunter-gatherers were egalitarian (see also https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/the-worst-mist...)

> This still technically reduces the generality of the given function

My point was that we are almost never hurt by that reduction.

> you are specifying that each function cannot have multiple overloads

Haskell has type classes, and if we restrict ourselves to local type inference it's fairly easy to have C++ style overloads without even that. So no, I'm not specifying such a thing.
It seems like young people (particularly the 15-20 year-old range) are so much smarter and better informed than decades ago or even just 10 years ago. The fear about the US falling behind seems unfounded. Then again, I have to remind myself that Reddit and NH is not reality...these sites are probably only representative of the top 20% or so of ability. The bottom 50% are either less active online or more inclined to major social networks.

i don't believe it have to be a niche. lets look at Zoom, its in a saturated market with a lot of established products that already have all the Zoom's functions built in but hide under complex UI that no one know how it work or its there.
The M1 Mac Mini recently was only $600 on sale.
I moved personal projects to Hetzner from Linode several years ago, due to significantly better pricing for the RAM I needed, and I haven't had any problems. I am using a few of their "cloud" shared servers (https://www.hetzner.com/cloud) and backups, can't speak to other services. I'm not doing anything CPU or IO intensive, though.
Are these results broken down by race? If not, we could be seeing static or even improving results, hidden by the shifting demographics of the USA.

When you examine Goodschools data for a given area, there is a very high correlation between the White/Asian student population and the overall performance of the school, including for Black/Hispanic children.

Additionally, how much have politics impacted results for the worst performing students? Anecdotally, its a lot harder to expel or discipline certain consistently disruptive students now.

>>>Don't expect customer support

To be fair, you can also book a managed server with them.

For their hosted hardware offering, HDD/SSD swaps (or even "we replace everything about your server because it produces random faults except your HDDS") are within reasonable timeframes (i.e. usually within an hour).

They, however, will not diagnose this for you - that part is on you.
I'd really be curious how much money AWS makes on zero-usage accounts where someone spun up something and then forgot how to log in or delete it.

I've been paying $10/month for over a year on an EC2 (I think?) instance I spun up, and I still haven't had the time to go in and find it and delete it. I've tried several times (and even disputed the credit card charge one month).

I'll probably just end up cancelling this credit card. That would be a lot easier than figuring out how to stop AWS from charging me.
The explanation is perfectly rational.

Once the buyer has been convinced, his worldview is dependent upon a number of assumptions he's made by extrapolating limited information. He makes a number of those assumptions on the basis of trusting the seller. If that trust wavers, the assumptions crumble and the worldview collapses.

The buyer's trust in the seller is fragile because the buyer doesn't really know the seller. His image of the seller is based on an internal model that the seller has triggered by being similar on a few heuristic markers.

The buyer jumps to the conclusion that the seller is that good guy he's been waiting for, on the strength of a few matching signals.

But the more the seller says after that point to demonstrate defining characteristics of his knowledge, personality, or character, the more he risks varying from the buyer's internal model. Less is more, because by increasing the number of points of comparison, the more the seller risks spoiling the match.
There are many simulations like that when sadistic engineers (sorry, simulation engineers) will inject errors in the simulator and see how the operators react. Then the operators have to find a way out. This is also used to make sure that monitorings and procedures cover all the errors.
I think “quite” is doing a lot of work here. I agree with this characterization of the mechanics of what’s happening, but more broadly I’d say western culture has been suffering a growing disconnect between dream and reality for some time now. What is seen as “futuristic tech”, driven by endless hype machines, perpetually seems to be just a few years away, regardless of things like: physics, funding, business models, government aptitude and will, human behavior, public opinion, and frankly human ingenuity/adaptability. As a consequence, instead of planning based on the world we live in today and the most likely near term projections, we try to plan for entirely unrealistic futures. It’s a mixture of being sold a future as being closer than it is or entirely different than it will be, and trying to will into existence a future we want (or want to avoid). Nobody wants to stay tethered to reality anymore, for various and varied reasons, so they try to act like it doesn’t exist.
In some contexts PoC is appropriate because it is pretty much catch-all for "not white" (where "white" is used the same way as in "white supremacy", referring to a racial category defined by the absence of other racial identities).

In other contexts it is more precise to say Black because Black people experience a specific form of oppression by being Black, not just non-white. The same is true for other identities (like Indigenous) that are also part of the BIPoC umbrella, of course, but this is why it is often rendered as BIPoC rather than simple PoC.

true, but then in the UK you're working with roads that aren't even really designed to host trucks in the first place. American roads are pretty grid-ish, British roads are all over the shop and much more organic in structure.

A Hint of Dark Matter Sends Physicists Looking to the Skies
Sure, that's a fair point - it's a change with likely interesting indirect consequences.

However, as a critique of Huxley's piece, I don't it's really relevant. If you're talking about how progress is essentially purely cultural (as he claims), and not down to intrinsic biology, then cool bits of historical trivia aside, this just doesn't quite seem to cut it.

The context being stuff like...

> Beneath the shifting surface, human nature remained substantially the same.

Human culture clearly isn't so dramatically different in places where this did not evolve, and what differences there are are certainly down to many factors, of which lactase persistence is just one.

Also, consider that he says

> A man born in the twentieth century A.D. has no better chance of being congenitally intelligent and virtuous than one born in the twentieth century B.C.

or that

> Evolutionary progress of the species has not been perceptible within historical times and may, for all practical purposes of record of prophecy, be left out of account as non-existent. Uninheritable progress, due to tradition, has genuinely taken place in the realism of science and technology, where each worker stands on the shoulders of his predecessors.

...he's not disputing the dramatic impact of evolution per se; simply that on the time scale of cultural evolution, the genetic variety is so slow as to be largely irrelevant.

He also says a bunch of other stuff; but I think the observation that the literally incredible progress (I doubt anybody in e.g. ancient Rome might have foreseen the average life we live today) humans have made over the past few millenia is down to memes, not genes.

Genes are still important; but they don't explain progress.
I really enjoyed that. He's a great writer. Says a lot, without getting prolix (unlike Yours Truly).

I sincerely wish him luck. He sounds like a really decent chap.

Unfortunately, today's culture doesn't reward "decent chaps." It never really has, but it seems much worse, today, than at any other time in my (admittedly, sketchy) memory.

I am not aware of his work, but that is something that I can change.
Most games use licensed engines, most AAA games use their own engines. Only 3 out of top 10 games in Steam use engine that support metal. More than a half of games in top 100 use engines that don't support metal. In this month we have few prominent releases on PC: Guardians of the Galaxy, Far Cry 6, Age of Emires 4, FIFA 22, The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes and Back 4 Blood. Out of these 6 titles only last 2 use UE4, others use their own custom engines. And I could go on and on.

It’s rather difficult to solve a problem you don’t have yourself. That’s why you rely on user feedback. If you design for yourself, the feedback loop gets much tighter.

I mostly design for myself nowadays, and I found that it’s not that easy. It still requires multiple iterations to get it right. My own laziness as a developer also biases my decision making.
They've been saying the same about factory and warehouse work for several decades, and yet Amazon (who has spent over a billion $ buying robotics companies) is hiring hundreds of thousands of people in the US at higher than prevailing wages.

Further -- we know that employment in a job trails off over decades, it doesn't fall off a cliff suddenly. Truck driving jobs are still increasing. I would wager that the average 18-year-old truck driver today could retire from that job when she's in her 60s.
