I don't know the peculiars of GPA. But I did a mediocre school result at best efore joining university. In university something switched. And I was top of class in many lectures.

So what exactly does my anecdata mean? Exactly nothi g. But So does your "argument" (you didn't make one except touting a statement full of subliminal racism in the context of this discussion).

Nordea in Finland is known for having slight issues several times a year, and they usually end rather quickly.

Yesterday, 2022-03-01 at roughly 09:00 UTC, I was completely blocked from accessing my bank account. Eight hours later, at roughly 17:00 UTC, it took me several attempts, each loading for over a minute, until I gained access to my account. "Normal" issues fail immediately, so this time felt completely different.

The YLE news article stated that this was indeed a DoS attack, and I think it's been years since a Finnish bank was targeted.
I agree it’s not good to censor RT and similar, though I do remember Churchill’s comment that in wartime “truth is so precious that it must be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies”. RT are scumbags and it’s been depressing to see some of my stupider/more self-serving academic friends go on there to pump their personal hobbyhorses. But they don’t need censoring, just our contempt.

The article would be better if it didn’t make spurious and unsupported assertions about how NATO “had a hand in starting” this conflict.
Sure, though your dice might not be weighted the way you thought. Rather, you might want to look at the pipeline. Asian culture is particularly education focused, so is it surprising that Asians are overrepresented in areas heavily associated with education?

Yeah, cancel people for allegedly saying the N-word, but when a whole TV channel is financed by actual dictator invading countries and killing thousands of people, and is spreading his excuses for doing so - just leave them be because "freedom of speech".

No, it cannot. The US and Europe accusing Russia of acting without provocation is like a serial killer with 600 dead girls buried in his basement complaining to the cops about his noisy neighbor.

2003. Iraq. Ukraine was a part of the "coalition of the willing" which invaded the sovereignty of another country.
Your thoughts seem misguided.

OAauth2 was never intended for authentication, it was intended for authorization. (i.e. - "authority X gives you Y permission for Z feature"

Facebook and Google were just the first to bastardize the protocol and leverage it for authentication. (i.e. - since we can give you permission, you are probably who you say you are)

OAuth was never intended to work like this, which is why it saw limited adoption.

Finally OIDC was added to the protocol to catch up with how people are using it, which is why you now see everyone migrating to OIDC, which makes federation for everyone much simpler.

AFAIU all the Graviton chips so far are using off the shelf cores licensed from Arm. What Amazon is doing is assembling a shopping list of cores, peripherals (probably also to a significant extent licensed from Arm rather than a 3rd party or even in-house) etc. and creating a SoC, which is manufactured by someone else. Even this is no walk in the park, I'm sure Amazon has hundreds(?) of engineers working on Graviton.

Now, if someone would create a RISC-V core competitive with the Arm server cores, and an ecosystem of RISC-V compatible peripherals (well, not compatible in the sense that some random peripheral would need to care about the ISA, but that Arm might not want to licenses their peripherals to a RISC-V based project?) shows up, I'm sure Amazon could do roughly the same with a hypothetical RISC-V Graviton. But if you're talking about designing a RISC-V core from scratch, that's a whole different ballgame.
I grew up in a society where 3 major races make up 60%, 26% and 10% respectively.

The 26% and 10% have a culture of striving, and they typically aspire towards business and/or the professions.

The 60% (the majority) are indigenous and had civilization that stretches back centuries. However, they did not (and do not) have a achievement-oriented culture and therefore are not given to striving (at least in comparison to the former groups).

For the longest time, the 26% and the elite among the 10% controlled the economy. This all came to a head when racial riots broke out, after which the government introduced affirmative action favoring the 60%, for exactly the reasons you outlined -- to create racial harmony and to quell the racial resentment.

In a sense, it worked. For decades racial strife was low, at the expense of marginalizing the capable 26% and 10%.

The problem is that once you introduce affirmative action, it becomes a political tool for staying in power, and no government can ever remove it without risking losing an election.

Affirmative action is a short term band-aid. If you keep it on for too long, people depend on it and the entire system degrades, especially when it applies to a large enough number of people. People lose the incentive to strive to do better, and the standards go down to accommodate the lowest common denominator. Affirmative action in my country has led to an overall decline in competency in many fields, and a brain drain of the people who are marginalized to neighboring countries and beyond. With every passing year, my country is surpassed by other countries in the region.

The feedback loop of stomping on meritocracy (where ascribed qualities like skin color or race are elevated over competence) is self-reinforcing. Our politics has gotten worse, we're getting less and less competitive by the day, and competitive forces are eating our lunch. We may have a more equal pie, but we got there by pulling everybody down so our pie is smaller. The society feels stagnant and continues to degrade. This is my lived experience.

The country next to us has also achieved low racial strife, but they adopted much more directed and -- I dare to say -- more social darwinist policies. They are economically much more successful than we are, and much more dynamic than we are, even though we both started out with similar initial conditions.

I do think we need to have a society where everyone has an equal shot at social mobility. However I also believe that affirmative action is too blunt an instrument for achieve that and it is one that creates vicious feedback loops that are politically difficult to get out of even when it's clear its usefulness is over.

So no, I'm not a big fan of affirmative action as it is conceived here in this article. To achieve a more equal society you cannot merely force equality by tweaking the gates, because (1) there's irreducible variance among humans that you quell at your own peril, (2) some of those gates are important -- remember Chesterton's fence. It's clear to me that a more thoughtful approach than affirmative action (or even a more thoughtful kind of affirmative action) is needed.
Cool game! Also has an addictive element.
For elite universities in particular, I doubt they care about racial equity for its own sake. Instead, it's a component of their strategic interests, to wit:

1. Admitting children-of-elites for funding and advancement purposes
2. Admitting extremely high-competent students to build an alumni reputation
3. Maintaining a demographics profile that the general population will see as legitimate

Fundamentally, today's racial quotas and preferences are in place for the same reason as why Harvard discriminated against Jewish students in the 1920s and 30s. If they didn't, the university would be seen as an attempt by outside demographic groups to install elites by a significant section of the population.

Ukraine Proposes ICANN Remove Russian Domains
Our institutions reflect our public discourse, and right now, discourse is dominated by race. When it comes to school admissions, the elite schools and colleges want to see their students in places of influence and power. It helps attract more talented students, helps grow their influence networks, and attracts donations and other sources of large sums of money.

Ivy league and other top-tier schools dominate placements in industry, the Supreme Court, and public institutions. When race is a factor for consideration (e.g. Biden only considered black women for the Court vacancy), it will be a factor for these schools. If they instead accepted based on standardized test scores and became 50-60 percent Asian, it would mean that most of their students (by virtue of being Asian) would get shut out of positions of influence and power. Those positions would instead be filled by students from other schools.

One must always remember that elite schools exist to grow their own prestige. An honest hard-working student at Harvard Medical School who then opens a small private practice in his hometown, doing good for his community and his family, is, in the eyes of the elite, a waste of an education. These schools want students with talent and ambition who will be well-placed to change the world.

On the other hand, for lower-tier schools, I see little justification (from their perspective, not from a universalist ethical point of view) borderline-quota affirmative action policies.
What I get from the article:
Some scumbags loaned money from Credit Suisse. As security, they used their big boats and airplanes.

Credit Suisse then themselves loaned money from hedge funds offering a very good return and using the scumbags loans as security. To prove that they had security for those loans they sent pictures of the boats and planes to the hedgefund.

Then someone told a newspaper that Credit Suisse was loaning money to scumbags.

To make this less embarrasing Credit Suisse is now asking the hedgefund to throw away the picures of the boats.
Both those ways of determining race get the same answer 99.9999% of the time.

Hey I personally know Ukrainians, also those with a military background. And I can tell you, you are full of shit.

You claim that the Ukrainian army, under control of the anti-russian government, is not fighting? Why is that? And the government that staged a coup against the will of the people is now giving those people guns to fight against... who exactly?

Your story is completely contradicting itself kamaraad. Even the Russian speaking Ukrainians want the Russians out.

And guess what, Zelenskyy's first language is Russian.

I don't like take homes, because you are able to cheat... (ask a friend, hire a fiverr, etc.) - so a brilliant solution is not very helpful to find out, if you really met an expert.

I prefer a 2 - 6 hour training day (depending on whats possible) for the best applicant, where he / she meets the team, sees how they are working and most of the people I met, were interested, because they benefit from this, too.

When you MUST provide a take home one, you could take a look at adventofcode problems as inspiration. They are fun to do, not too complicated and do not depend on a specific technology.

You might think Johnstone's assertions are wrong, but you too are lying when you say they are unsupported; in the sentence you are referring to, she linked to her own previous article which explains the history https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/experts-warned-for-y... as well as some guy named "Aaron I Killed" on Substack https://mate.substack.com/p/the-ukraine-crisis-sponsored-by-... and, more credibly, a FAIR backgrounder by Bryce Greene https://fair.org/home/what-you-should-really-know-about-ukra....

These do in fact support the assertion. "Aaron I Killed" in particular seems perhaps partisan enough that his assertions should be handled with tweezers. The FAIR article is pretty solid and reliable; the only criticism I'd make is that, as progressives often do, it overstates the importance of the neo-Nazi movement in both Ukraine and in the US, for example neglecting to mention that the Ukrainian neo-Nazis lost all their parliamentary seats in the last election.

I haven't been watching RT so I don't know firsthand how much they're lying, but see a lot of secondhand reports that they're lying an enormous amount, and those seem reliable.

Indians and Asians are some of the most racist people I have worked with as a trans. They are more concerned about what your genitals are than the work you can do. They are especially racist to those who identify as black, latinx, and womxn.
Those quotes are entirely compatible with "not really".

Chris is talking about the Sooner: https://www.androidcentral.com/look-back-google-sooner-first.... It was called Sooner because it was going to come to market "sooner" than the other, more advanced, Dream prototype. After the iPhone announcement Sooner was canceled, in favor of the "Dream" prototype, which eventually shipped in a modified form as the G1.

The _software_ difference between non-touch Sooner and the touch-capable G1 were relatively minor. Same OS, same view system, same application framework.

As I recall, Chris's role at the time was as a UX focused engineer, so perhaps from his POV it was a massive redesign. But if you consider Android as a whole, relatively little changed. I recall the apps being pretty easy to port over to support touch. (Moving to a bigger screen helped offset the problem of having to make the buttons way larger.)

> it when the company later has excess funds

The company didn't have "excess funds".

When you do a raise, you tell investors how you're going to spend the money. There may be a lot of money in the bank, but it's not "excess", it's merely not yet spent.

If he didn't disclose that $100k before the investment, he took it from what he told investors that the money would go for.

After not using Word for years we've been using it for a few months now for a project, expecting it would be decent.

While some of the ideas are great, the overall experience was pretty bad. Leaving autosave on often slowed down Word to an unworkable pace and after a few other issues (I'm not exactly sure what, wasn't involved) we just made sure only one person at a time works on the document.

Some other annoying small issues I experienced:
when working together sometimes your undo history is gone. I guess that's because someone else edited too and correctly undoing something someone else edited in between is not simple. IMO it's impossible and any system doing merges automatically will fall apart at some point.

There's a difference between what's written in holy books for any religion and how that religion plays out in practice. Tons of Catholic beliefs and practices are to be found nowhere in the Bible, for example. Ditto for both Sunni and Shia Islam and the Koran.

But when people leave a religion, they're not just leaving what the religion is on paper, because that's not what anyone engages with. They're leaving how the religion operates in practice, and that includes how people practice that religion day to day.
Ah... good ol' ClarisWorks.
Not the main point but 'Asian' is also way too big - and includes many groups who are as disadvantaged as any other ethnic group in the US. What they really mean is East Asian (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese) and South Asian (mainly Indians) but I am assuming kids from Hmong, Nepali etc ethnicity will also be graded down on this basis. Gross unfair in the overall case, but egregiously so in this specific context
Russians are brainwashed into believing they have the right to decide what people in nearby countries do. You can see it even in comments here.

"NATO expanded towards Russia" is used as an excuse for invading Ukraine.

Doesn't matter that NATO expanded because these countries wanted to be in NATO. And that's PRECISELY because Russia routinely threatens them. NATO is hugely popular in Eastern Europe (with the exception of Balkans), much more than in the Western Europe.

Why should Russia have a say in what defensive organizations a country can belong to?

But they don't. HN isn't even compliant with the EU law regarding cookie notices. There are none. There's nothing indicating that logging in or registering will use cookies.

Nor there are any checkboxes stating that you agree to the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy or anything of the sort.

Besides, cookie notices have to be explicit anyway. It can't be a thing buried deep within ToS or Privacy Policy.
I agree. This is the reason that most people come forward as "whistleblowers". They see something grossly unfair or illegal and feel compelled to report it. In the last 20 years, the US has introduced a mixture of Federal laws & regulations that seek to compensate whistleblowers with a portion of the fines paid. This helps whistleblowers to overcome some fear about reporting.

A deeper question to ask: Why don't all societies trend negative and "turn into a dirty, corrupt cesspit"? Honestly, I can only guess about the effects of human cooperation and altruism. I am thankful to have lived in relatively uncorrupt societies in my life. When people tell me stories about living in much more corrupt places (some examples from last 25 years: Russia, Pakistan, Indonesia), I am always appalled. It seems so unfair to live in a corrupt society. It is a drain on good life! I always think to myself: How does anyone get things done!?
Ask HN: Can you help me remove the marks for the airstrikes from Google Maps?
My hometown, which I left on the 14th, so far has been safe.

But it's about to change. Today I stumbled upon information about supposed marks for the airstrikes on Google Maps.

I tried cheking information myself and found it very believable. Replicate as follows:

1. Search for Dnipro on Google Maps

2. Enter фермерське господарство (means farm on Ukrainian, but there are no farms there) in search

3. Do not press enter and look for auto-complete: Those are supposed targets.

Those marks are unusual: you can’t even report them. I never seen anything like this.

Video demonstration here:

https://youtu.be/OHGsFCfuB_k

This may save lives, including people I know. That’s why I need your help.

Important Edit: I have to clarify that in my opinion these are more probably marks for saboteurs to make real-world marks on the specified locations.

Examples here: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/russia-invades-ukraine-secret-symbols-seen-in-ukraine-point-to-escalation-of-violence/ZRZPD5W7WRAWD3U32C4PHB273I/
