I don't doubt what you are saying is possible, but I've never come across it.

I do a few things absolutely, for life, with no exceptions, but if applied to all aspects of life the rigidity would be crushing.
Only Kuomintang claimed to be China. Taiwanese does not.
Sorry, your belief is that some easily gameable standardized test correlates well with merit, particularly at the higher percentiles of the distribution?

Long termism doesn't have to be just increased lifespans. The concept of "double death" might be helpful here. Death of a human might be when a human's heart stops. But their double death might be the last time someone says their name or the last time some important idea of theirs gets reproduced (or stops being reproducible, like if the last copy of an important artwork they made gets destroyed). The death of thousands of beetles can happen, but when the ecosystem they rely on to reproduce gets damaged to the point where it can't recuperate, that might be called their double death
I disagree with the current top-voted comment, so I wanted to add a defense that doesn't care about disadvantaged white people:

Harvard is one of the core institutions for inducting new members of the US elite, aka the people who will be placed into positions of power over the next 10-20 years.

Deciding who gets in primarily on racial and gendered grounds without even a fig leaf requirement of intelligence or academic competence is going to deeply wound US culture. This is supposed to be an ideology abandoned in the 60s. Abandoned for good reasons, I might add. The universities are publicly and purposefully screwing up decades of social progress and the shockwaves could be broad because racial ideologies do tend to get out of control.
Why would it matter what anyone's immunity level was? Having antibodies doesn't matter for the mandates, it's just more shots good, fewer shots bad.
A pirate movie I had was 'locked' on Drive, this happened year ago.

I opened a hex editor, changed a random byte, re-uploaded and it worked fine.

This is a misunderstanding, as per other comments. This is old news not 'start soon'
You absolutely can! The data loader concept in Remix is semantically equivalent to `getServerSideProps`

We are making sure both Remix and Next.js work excellently at the edge by compiling down to our Edge Functions primitive (https://vercel.com/edge)
This is incorrect. It's only human subjects research if the researcher is obtaining data about a human. This is the "about whom" requirement. A classic example is calling a business and asking someone about the products and prices they offer. That's not human subjects research.
That's plenty of time to add 3 new levels, incorporate an in-game purchase system, and the 5 other items the PM just dropped on the devs. No, we will not need to push the release date to add these new features. The features will be fully ready.
>I recognize this applies both ways

Yes, it does work both ways but, while you acknowledge that, it's kind of like you want to read past that part quickly.

Because, what you're essentially saying is, "yes, this one group had a 400-year head start at the expense of that other group. But, why punish them for that?"

This line of discussion, BTW, overlooks a few other oft-overlooked points:

1. There is real value to having a student body that reflects the broader population--good for the school, the students, and the broader society

2. All of these students are of top quality. They're not eschewing a bunch of Einsteins to admit a bunch of dullards.

3. Harvard has an abysmal 4.6% acceptance rate. The overwhelming majority of applicants are being rejected for all kinds of reasons. The idea that qualified people are losing their seats en masse due to racial preferences is wildly inaccurate.

4. There's never been an objective, quantitative admissions process in any case. It's kind of funny that people are so focused on the SAT score, as if that was part of some numeric point-scoring system.
Thanks! This is miles better.
What sounds like nonsense? The fact that atoms are not actually infinitely solid billiard balls that just bounce off each other instantaneously should not be controversial. I think what's given is actually a pretty good layman's explanation of why a certain amount of the total internal energy of a gas is stored as potential rather than kinetic energy.
They should sue the fact checker rather than Facebook; easier and this will likely have the same impact on the fact-checker market.
When China get Taiwan, do you think you will get the chips you want for your computer? Or all the chips will have backdoor that control your life? It is not Dantzig you die for, but your freedom.
I think the thrust of the issue is having to pay to exist. Doing otherwise is criminal.

It's not a light switch, but we can try paving the roads at the bare minimum so that the societal wagon train can transition.

I do what I can, and you might do as well, but there needs a fundamental ideological shift in how we perceive those cornerstone workers.

> If Omicron is more infectious to the vaccinated than not vaccinated, that would be super ironic wouldn't it be. Would scientists even admit that.

No that would be by design.

particularly if Omicron really is milder to the unvaccinated as well. (that is still an IF). all those vaccinated people will be at the leading edge of the fight to make Omicron the dominant if not the only version of the virus. They will have been a strong wind behind the evolution to "flu like" alterations...

Still go an get vaccinated, Still go and get your boosters. You can't leave this to nature, because nature is constantly trying to kill you. There is not "mother earth" or Gaia... there is only the on-going war that is life. Everything competing to eat or out compete each other for resources to make sure their offspring get to fight the same fight.
*Update* to their credit, they've followed up with me. The github login was routing to the wrong account (a rarely used account) and was caught in their automatic fraud process. They've verified the main account (5 year old) is still intact and given me instructions to get back in.

I am immensely relieved. They've done right by me. Kudos for a delayed but excellent response.

You could just read what the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/section-12-religious-disc...

The sincerity of the belief is a measured by the credibility of the claimant in each specific case. They are assumed to be credible by default unless the other party can show glaring inconsistencies. Even then, the guidance notes that people's beliefs change so challenging such a claim is relatively hard.

A sincerely held religious belief is basically a "get out of jail free" card (figuratively) because of the issues you point out. With the preponderance of evidence standard, all one has to do is convince the judge that their belief is more likely to be sincere than not. If one can prove that they go to church on a semi-regular basis, for example, it's nearly impossible to convince a judge that the belief is insincere.
I don't think any of those rights you mention avoid obligating other people.

What if you're my neighbor, exercising your free speech in person, and I don't want to hear it?

Your sound waves don't stop at my property line. But there are definite limits on what I could do in response.

Hunters go traipsing across private property. Someone with a gun could shoot your dog, or mistake you for a deer. Living around people like that is a huge infringement or obligation of property owners.

We can certainly disagree about particular calls because they're matters of interpretation. What I was trying to explain is why your argument doesn't work in the general case; that (for me) is the more important point.
Religion is socially acceptable mythology. Your 10 minute one has less social acceptance, even if it is equally a myth to some significantly older one. It is the social acceptance that gives it validity. You can guess the social acceptance of worshiping Zeus.
News flash: they basically do.
I get it. But atleast I'm not living in fear of my family being put in jail due to some offhand remark on a WhatsApp group (not saying that is not a possibility in future due to how things are turning around the world).

The fact that they have some person answer the phone doesn't mean they have to fix the problem.
That's a very generous assumption. Especially in the context of an email sent under false pretenses and a false name and an anonymous domain.

It's either a veiled threat or a serious error. Either way, this study needed more oversight.
Dude you are seriously underestimating postgres' versatility. It does so many different things, and well!
Thank you. I posted an update, let me know if there is anything else I should do.
The key phrase is:

> a living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research:

The mere fact that you're interacting with a human doesn't trigger it. If you're associated with a university, I'd encourage you to reach out to your IRB and ask them. The fact that the researchers in this case specifically were told by their IRB that it wasn't human subject research should be a good hint
Who is the subject of the emails sent to personal domains?
A quarter of Harvard's entering class is Asian (vs about 6% of the US population and less in the youth bracket). What proportion would you like?
> The grand old party will be 90-95% sycophants for a literal would be dictator. Where is the middle ground? The centrists are moderate Democrats.

Can you tell me where to find these centrists? As far as I can tell, most online spaces not about the Right (well I don't go to Right spaces so I don't really know what they're like) are all about anti-capitalism or anarchism or socialism or communism or something, certainly not what I'd call centrism. I don't know too many moderate spaces left.
Ironically, I think they can't. Their brand depends on public perception of their admissions process, and careful curation of their student body. The point of an "elite" college is that everything about it is on display. The value offered to each student depends in part on expectations about the characteristics of the student body.

It's like a human menagerie. Imagine choosing the animals for a zoo. Even if it were agreed which kind of animal was best (I like zebras), a zoo full of nothing but zebras would lose the interest and support of the public. Therefore, some "lesser" animals must be included, to provide the variety that makes it a zoo.

The "elite" college needs a curation process, and it has to be opaque, or it will be easily gamed, and the student body will turn into a freak show, spoiling its brand. There is enough demand, and little enough true variety among high school students, that a straight numerical admissions threshold will produce a class of effectively identical students.
> Do you have unbiased sources that indicate otherwise?

The burden of proof lies with the person making a claim.

I find it interesting that the general sentiment here is to disagree with this change, but HN folks also generally seem opposed to whiteboard interviews. That seems contradictory. What's the difference? Or is it just a different group of people responding here?
I have a custom hook that I like to use called useLocalStorage which is just a wrapper around useState which first looks for existing state in localStorage. There is a defaultState argument if there's nothing in localStorage.
Thanks for sharing your post. I want to highlight that react-query solves all of those problems very elegantly. You should check it out if you haven't already.
People are jumping on this. Question is—do the resource requirements outlined align with usage you described, or is that combined workload? By combined workload, I mean working set plus messaging. It’s not a useful exercise to criticize a service that’s multifaceted based on a single use case. Full disclosure—-not a Postgres user, nor am I invested in the tech.

Interesting. Both my cousin and I stutter. We share maternal grandparents. While allegedly our stuttering was triggered by being suddenly scared, in early childhood, I had always wondered if there is a genetic component to it as well.
> “A restlessness has seized hold of many of us,” wrote the American author Rebecca Solnit, “a sense that we should be doing something else, no matter what we are doing”

However, as the article testifies, there is still pleasure (including a calmer intellectual pleasure) to be found in isolation with a book.

A useful hypothesis: Loss of attention span (due to an internet focus) can be reversed, and it is worth doing so.
That "best-case" is unrealistically favorable to the 1970s buyer. In 2020, you can almost get that zero interest mortgage. In the 1970s, you are going to be paying at least 10% on top of that.
That's not the definition of human subjects research. Not everything that involves a human responding to questions is human subjects research. A lot of comments in this thread are uninformed about the relevant definitions.

You can think the study is poorly designed, unethical, etc. But if they're not obtaining data about a living individual, then it's not human subjects research.

I've been having very similar thoughts recently, but I've come to a very different conclusion.

I agree with the author that the news article is an archaic way of transmitting history in real time. The solution, in my mind, is a new medium--something between a news article and a history book. This requires two changes.

1) We need a free, user-friendly platform for organizing and navigating news stories. Basically, we need a Google News that is actually interested in the original mission statement--“to organize the world's information [in this case, data about current events] and make it universally accessible and useful.” Looking at the Google News of today, you'd think their mission statement was to be the Drudge Report. It should be trivially easy to put together specific sets of news articles, but it's not. Say you want to see a list of every NYT, WaPo, and WSJ article that mentioned Trump in 2016. Should be trivial, right? Or maybe you want to see a list of every article referencing Jeff Sessions in the lead-up to his decision to recuse himself from the Russia collusion probe? Good luck! I've been searching for a neatly organized, searchable and free news database for awhile, and I've had zero luck. But there are only a few thousand articles coming out of reputable publications every day. It strikes me as utterly bizarre that past news articles are really not all that much easier to parse through than there were in the era of microfilm. I think there are millions of would-be fact-checkers and meta-journalists out there who would love to organize the daily deluge of news data and battle fake news in forums across the internet. They just don't have the tools.

2) We need to end the tyranny of the news article. Let's say you want to learn about Watergate. Would you pick up the NYT archives and start reading every Watergate article you could find? Of course not. It wouldn't make any sense to re-live the slow, confused trickle of facts in real time. You wouldn't know which articles were biased, confused, or outright misleading. You would be piecing together your own narrative while using shoddy data. Instead, you go straight for a book. Leave it to someone else to collect the relevant facts and tamp down the spin and the confusion! They'll even sprinkle in a healthy dose of background data for context, and weave it all into a neat narrative. It might even be entertaining! When it comes to the news, we need something that's closer to books than a news article. We need folks who follow events in real time (facilitated by tools like I mentioned in point 1), collating facts, and maintaining clear, coherent narratives, instead of dumping facts into the real-time, disposable media that is news articles. Of course, reading a history book while it's being written sounds awful. But I'm confident that there is a happy medium.
> the number of Boeing employees seeking a vaccine exemption on religious or medical grounds had reached more than 11,000 - or nearly 9% of its U.S. workforce

I need to sell my Boeing stock; this doesn't bode well for the average competency of their organization.
I'm not saying they need tons and tons and tons of people.

> And Account Safety/Support/Security/Compliance Customer Service is (almost everywhere) very much a bureaucracy.

Fine. At least in that world you can talk to someone. Bureaucrats, I can work with.

But tech just doesn't give a shit. We have this wreckless-to-ignorant willfull blindness to the flaws of what we build and having to exercise one's connections is the exact opposite of the so-called 'democratization' that everyone talks about. Our world practically vomits liberal values of equality and egalitarianism and yet we willfully submit our lives to machines that can shut us out for completely automated and imperfect reasons, with no real recourse save for the savvy and connected.

Like people need to be burning at the stake over this stuff. Enough is enough.
> Rules for thee, not for me.

Many times I think how to arbitrage and profit from any situation.
I am envy that certian people can, and I cannot!
What can I do to deserve same humane treatment?

I propose to setup a Nancy Fund.

We pool our money and give it to her for management.
She makes say 1000% guaranteed profit by insider trading, and by manipulating the stock prices by issuing appropriate legislation. This is all legal, as a part of the governmental framework.

Of course she can take hefty management fees -- I do not mind.
My risk-free net profit will be still better than any other investment!

It can become huge -- anybody can invest and everyone will get rich.

For further scaling other members of congress can be utilized also.
Just make sure they do not issuing contradicting laws and policies, else this would cancel our profits.

How about this?

Clicked it expecting to read about some CS luminary I'd never heard of, which made it even more hilarious. Very sweet.
as long as it's working, can be understood by new devs joining 6 months from now, and is reasonably efficient* (in CS terms) I think that's enough. Maybe work on the personal relationship you have with the lead reviewer.
Maybe give 'yandex disk' a try?
Can you explain a bit more why you added emphasis to "about whom" in the clause you quoted? I don't see how those two words create any kind of exception; this research gathered information about how the humans behaved in response to the requests and threats.

Are you accidentally reading an "is" into that clause to interpret it as "about whom an investigator is conducting research"? What matters is not whether the researcher considers the human to be the target of the research, but whether the human (or their privacy) is actually affected by the research.
Plenty of other things have been the subjects of irrational exuberance that are fundamentally fine. No one is arguing tulips or houses are ipso facto nonsense. $1M for an NFT is more of a symptom of insane/desperate global monetary policy but NFTs per se are fine.
It is likely that quite a few people would lie if they knew they were going to be observed/studied or reported on. However, I'm sure they could've made the actual email less threatening and more friendly/ethical without revealing research intent. (or the intent to research this specfic aspect)
Wow it’s been that long, jeez. End of an era. I always thought that thing succinctly summed up the community, culture and zeitgeist of 2000s South Florida.
Kinda makes me wonder how the live action Cowboy Bebop actors took it. There was so much buildup for the show.
I don't think you're saying anything that can't adequately be explained by "more people on social media," and mainstream media more or less using that to stay relevant.

As opposed to some sort of "new" brand of victimization or something. People are telling their own stories in an effort to be seen and to change how we do things.

Compare and contrast with the much narrower mix of "public speaking" which was more driven by classic (yes, mostly white) American Boomer-esque capitalism of before.

Seems pretty natural and expected so far, actually.
