What is your idea of how people were living for most of that history?

You think being human stock ticker is worse than:

living on average 25 years,
starving most of your life,
having high chance of being literal slave not figurative,
being ostracized and killed for any silly reason by local community,
being dumped into trash or simply killed if local community found you were not useful or weak

So if you take it into perspective of 200000 years - being human ticker is actually really nice and comfortable.
I don't know if there's a _rising_ pushback but you definitely do hear a not-small amount of complaining about coding interviews on HN.
Correct. An even though fuel costs are significant, it's mostly the enrichment that drives up the cost. Even at the present un-economical seawater extraction rates, the overall cost increase would be negligible: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2016/07/01/uranium-s...

But that requires a wire that goes from the outlet all the way to the charge pad though, right? I think the main goal is to have no visible wire when it's on the wall. On the other hand 7k image changes before going out of battery seems quite a lot. Just not sure if that's a representative number.

IMO it's either able to be made safe or it's not. If achieving safety requires the precondition that unsafe situations never occur then it's the solution that's shortsighted not the location it was implemented.
I wouldn't argue with that one, either. But it's also not "hard left" :)

The word - if we're willing to shed many of the more populist overtones around it - is probably "neoliberalism". Consistently siding with money & corporations, with a democratic bent. (But not too much!)

Since 2016, it's more and more living on its reputation and not coming quite to terms with the changes in the world. It is still firmly rooted in facts - can't really provide economic guidance when you deny realities - but it seems somewhat unable to engage with the rise of populism and nationalism in an economically intertwined world.

Not unlike centrism :)
That was an amazing cover, I like both artists but Johnny Cash just blew that out of the park. Combined with his death just a few years later too, man.

"Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode was also a excellent example.
Many years ago--business grad school--one of the professors (forecasting?) had done research into GMATs and various post-school success metrics. Like it or not, the standardized test scores were a better predictor (by far) than anything else.

In terms of gaming scores on standardized tests generally, yes people with more money can take prep classes and the like, but there are also test prep books available--presumably even from the library--that probably get you a lot of the way there.
I agree completly. And i dont think it should be “wrong” to point this out!

Its getting worse nowadays for people who dont have an account. They are adding more “register now!” popups that cannot be closed, etc…

I am so tired hearing “we have to listen to fringe voices” because oh my lord so many of those fringe voices are anti-democratic, accelerationists, theists, and/or greedy misanthropes.

Banning “Z” is banning support for a mafioso political system that is not only anti-democracy, but also actively murdering an internationally-recognized democratic nation… again.

Fringe voices need to give their heads a shake and sit this one out.
It's by county in New York. Where I lived liquor stores were open but not until 11 or 12 I can't remember exactly it's been a while since I lived there. Similarly, you couldn't buy beer between 2am and 8am. I am probably misremembering the times a bit because it was a long time ago but that's roughly what it was where I lived in NY.
The movement to shit-can standardized tests was far bigger than MIT or any one institution and was part of a broader political trend whereby these sorts of institutions have been adopting particular positions. Hence MIT is the tail in this case.
I think I misinterpreted your post. We're talking about the same thing.
Yeah, pretty much this. Industry farming treats animals horribly and the quality is usually crap.

Backyard chickens is another thing, and anyone who wants fresh eggs should go that route. The same applies to chickens raised for meat.

"So many" being ~500 out of a population of ~7 million or so
I only skimmed TFA but the accusation seems to be that they are adding tons of special cases for well publicized flubs.

That seems somewhat unlikely to me although it might be nudging at the truth. i.e. they might be using bad press to help identify areas of weakness and then focusing on those. I guess it boils down to how generalizable and scalable these fixes are.
Those "mouse getting out of a blender" brain-teasers or whatever are pretty unheard of at this point I think. Most people complain about coding questions, generally leetcode-style questions I think.
MIT stepping back from the insanity of the Current Thing. Will anyone else follow?
I'm aware that the USA has shockingly, appallingly low animal welfare standards, especially for a developed country - but chickens don't have to be farmed like that.

I haven't bought a non-free range egg in at least a decade, and I make sure any poultry I buy has been reared with good welfare.
What is involved in using PAM on Windows and Mac?
Title is misleading and I think many commenters are missing the point. This is support for *restarting existing reactors* and not really a support for nuclear in general. This may lead to the latter, but it is very different turning on reactors that already exist (meaning some danger already exists) compared to creating more.

Proposed title change:

> Majority in Japan backs restarting existing nuclear reactors
Admissions officers will tell you they are aware of what programs schools have, and take that into account. If your school has no AP with GPA inflation your 3.x is the same as a 4.x at some bigger high school. How true that is idk.
It's more about labor market dynamics and supply versus demand. If there are plenty of developers available to hire then employers will insert extra hurdles in the process to filter out weak candidates (with the understanding that there will be some "false negatives"). But when the labor market is tight then employers will take a chance on any candidate who seems minimally competent because they need to fill the req.
I've never understood why github shows the first line of the most recent commit for files / folders next to their name instead of the first line of any README.md file inside the folder.

Even on projects that I'm actively working on, the most recent commit of a folder gives me no useful information, whereas if I could edit the README.md I could atleast add a description of each folder so that new users could understand the directory structure better.
>"Then you've just thrown "I sense" in front of it all to make it okay that you're basing that on zero evidence."

Yes, that's being used as a contextual qualifier. "I sense" = this is my personal opinion, not an assertion of objective fact.

>"If you think they've got an "incredibly" high false positive rate you should go do the work to have some kind of factual evidence to base that on."

Why? Do you have some evidence this is a bad thing? If you think my use of "I sense" is harmful, you should go do the work and provide some factual evidence to back up your position. I see no citations.

I think we should learn from the gaokao and only test once a year. The fact that you can pay for more tests (and pay more for "score choice") is the most unjust part of the whole thing.

Not all energy uses can be shifted. IT infrastructure, the pumps delivering plumbing to your house, streetlights, HVAC, all needs to be running at all times. Furthermore, if shifting energy demand is the plan, then renewables need to factor in the cost of shifting that energy demand into the equation.

Being a poor student myself, the EC is way more expensive and challenging for poor families(can not afford those at all), comparatively, SAT/ACT is actually much easier, a few books and keep bugging teachers can carry a long way at extremely low-cost. Comparing to EC's cost(and time), SAT/ACT mentor(online or offline) is still fairly affordable.

Living in internet era, I am jealous that nowadays 'poor' students can find so much resources online, most for free, even MIT courses! All you need is an ordinary computer and maybe internet access, which are quite affordable for nearly all families in US.

I will vote up for SAT/ACT and vote down on those EC from a socioeconomic perspective if I have to pick one.
> Have you seen what goes into industrial egg operations? How on Earth could you not call it exploitative or bad?

White Leghorns, New Hampshire Reds, and Barred Plymouth Rocks (the common egg-laying chickens in industrial farms) are not exactly existential.

Farming grasshoppers and maggots is at one end of the spectrum, with Orcas at Sea World on the other end.

Egg farming is somewhere in between.
Maybe the gas line should be closed off before German citizen are prosecuted by its elite for supporting Russia? I mean transferring huge amount of money helps the war effort more than Z-stickers. I guess the gov. decides what support is OK.

It is hilarious that some parts of Germany outlaws "Z" while at the same time giving weapons that will end up in the Azov regiment, which soldiers would be thrown in jail in Germany for wearing their nazi insignia. Like, Germany is for real arming neonazis in a foreign war.

But I guess I am the mad person for believing "the West" should not touch this war with a 10ft pole.

So they are going to teach a process to consistently make and deliver high assurance, robust systems written in Rust when they knowingly claim that they have never even heard of, let alone made, even a single high assurance, robust system in Rust.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Having a process for making high assurance, robust systems is a extraordinary claim which requires the extraordinary evidence of repeated success at delivering such systems in real-life adversarial environments and succeeding at audits and verification efforts that are demonstrably passed only by robust systems. Anybody who has not reached that standard should not use the words “high assurance”, “robust”, or “secure” as they have no evidence of their claims and anything they say should be completely, 100% ignored.

It is frankly outrageous that people so far from that standard that they can not even point to a single system that anybody has done have the gall to use those words.
My take is exactly what I said.

The same factors that lead to success for SATs can lead to further academic success.

I believe that MIT is probably right, in fact, I'm quite certain of it. Many people will drop out of university or perform poorly than their peers for socio-economic reasons, the person working while studying will probably do worse than the person who just studies.

MIT wants the most graduates and especially the most successful graduates, so the institution is right to do this, but I do still think it's more inhumane than I'm personally comfortable with -- but this is part of why I live in Europe where university students in general are seen as an investment by the state and not so much a business to be optimised.
Nuclear is competing against solar, wind, gas, coal and oil which all get massive subsidies. Why should nuclear be the only one left out that does not?

It's pretty easy to track the lifetime of some equipment. (not yogurt cartons, but Internet conneted equipment is trivial) You can empower users to make the right decisions, by collecting and publishing lifetime information at the point of sale.

This enables consumers to see that one phone is, for example, 50% more expensive but if its reusable (right to repair comes in here) and has a life time twice that of the comparable device. Consumers can make the right decision.
Its really important to log the miles and age of cars as they get sold so that consumers don't buy cars that end up being replaced too early. Second hand markets will reflect that knowledge once its collated and published and market forces do the rest.
You ought to regulate to ensure that facts once known are presented to consumers by suppliers.
In theory, with perfect knowledge, and consumers that care, the market regulates itself. Anything you do to improve consumer knowledge and encourage responsibility helps.
I was recently searching for wedding gift for my photographer friend and found this. There does not seem to exist many other e-paper art frames and this one looks decent. It also has some open source software (https://github.com/framelabs-eu), but the firmware seems closed-source.
And there are books available to help with a lot of that. (And I actually agree with the point that doing some amount of test prep/sample tests is helpful. But it doesn't need to be super-expensive/time-consuming. I do understand that the playing field has probably upleveled over the decades but it's still probably as democratized as any such thing is.
I always assumed that was the majority view, no?
Yeah but if the game isnt interesting than the cosmetics dont sell.
So let's cut the shit then and just do IQ tests.

This is the best technical university in the world offering the best technical education in history. It's where the smartest minds learn foundational knowledge that will enable them to make amazing technological contributions to mankind.

Not everything needs to be a battleground for the boring diversity of skin color. It's actually important that we get the most qualified people in these seats.
The SAT is a test of your academic preparation, not Raven's progressive matrices. That you can study for it is not inherently a bad thing. Portions that are highly susceptible to coaching are bad, and that's why there aren't analogies any more.

If students learn the vocabulary and practice the math to do better on the test, at some point it just becomes the Key and Peele Heist sketch: "That's called a job!"

It all come down to me to what this point touches.

When you have a test, you have something definite to prepare for. Even if you do not have dedicated mentors or well-wishing, caring teachers, you simply know there is a test that significantly improves your chances for MIT.

When you don't have a test, you have to study all the year round, do all homeworks, be active members of math, chess, or debate club all the year round and win at least province-level competitions, play an instrument at the school band, be elected the class monitor, create social equity clubs, do social service and so on.

Which path do you think will be easier for someone from an impoverished, troubled background?

Is it easier to prepare for a test for three months or be a whole different person severely constrained by your background?

Whom does no-test policies benefit? The rich White student living in a gated community, or a Black/Hispanic person living in slum-like condition?

I have little first hand experience (was born in a middle-of-nowhere small town, but wasn’t truly poor), and a lot of second-hand experience. I know a lot of friends, acquaintances who moved up the socio-economic ladder just because test-score based admission policies existed.

The people who promote no-test policies are deluded ivory-tower dwellers detached from reality.

This essay made me think – I watched a movie the other day, and like all movies set before the ~late nineties, the characters relied on landline phones and didn’t have texting or any immediate forms of communication available. You had to make a phone call and if no one answered, that was it. You had to just wait around until they called you back.

It made me wonder if we will ever not live in a world in which instantaneous communication is the default — and subsequently what is expected by everyone. I think it’s possible, but only as a deliberate stepping back, away from the expectations of instant replies, as a social movement. It would need to be a mass social movement in the 60s sense.

I'm not sure the argument you're trying to make is as impactful as what you think it is.

It should have been avoided, and wasn't. How does that make anyone feel more secure that other plants will be any safer at all? I argue that it does not.

If anything, that statement only solidifies the other posts in this thread who talk about businesses focus on short term metrics and profit margins calling all safety into question.
“They aren't chickens which wouldn't survive in a non domesticated environment.”

You would be very surprised how quickly animals can adapt to a new environment. There are plenty of examples of domesticated animals being released into the wild and doing just fine.
Clearly unrelated, but interesting that 'Z' is used as a symbol of rebellion against the junta following a coup d'etat in the film of the same name. Though based on events in Greece in the 60s, the themes of corruption, intimidation and oppresion of freedom are probably what we would be seeing under a 'Z' controlled Ukraine. The cynic in me thinks that whoever decided on this branding of the Russian invasion knew that it would be a headache to moderate/censor in more open societies due to plausible deniability, as this discussion shows.

We in Europe have good reasons, in fact very good reasons to reject GMOs. Its a very powerful tool, very poorly tested, side effects on whole ecosystem not tested at all (aka if you don't brag about safety in ads, it means there is nothing to brag about).

They often come from most amoral companies in the world, ie Monsanto which clearly don't care about human health and life, only profits at all costs. They are often pushed by political means (ie US business folks coming ie to UK to lobby for lowering food safety standards compared to those from EU right after it was clear Brexit is happening).

You want to solve world hunger and feed those poorest and most unfortunate that would otherwise die? Sure go ahead, but at least attempt to be moral and show some serious research into collateral damage. You try to push that cheap untested crap on one of the world's most rich and free regions? Well clearly your chops are not good enough right now.
You really need a very deep understanding of the pain points in the industry. If you're solving a problem that you yourself have, that gives you a higher probability that others in the industry has the exact same problem.

Sure; Keynes coined the term "animal spirits." Yet the criticism (that economics is too modelling-based) is widely levied, e.g. see https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/19/its-ti..., https://aeon.co/essays/economics-is-once-again-becoming-a-wo....

Is it the whole story? Probably not. Like I said, I'm not an economist.

But given the extreme challenges in empirically testing macroeconomic models, it should be no surprise that economists might--as somewhat irrational humans--over-rely on theoretical models.
On kind of a random tangent, during the early pandemic I began reading a ton of cookbooks. I found it interesting how the quality of recipes and techniques was so vastly better than anything I found online.

I think a similar item is happening with news. Online news is rather superficial where really long form things like books can give you the reflection to think.
