2) Vaccines are effective

Why are they locking people down? Why aren’t they just vaccinating them all?
It’s not about the ethnicity of the people who have immigrated, but not creating incentives for new people to come here permanently. Not “no Indians” but instead “America is full.”

I don’t believe America really needs high skill labor. When my family came here in 1989, America was already the undisputed #1, and there were less than 1 million desis in the country. Today there are over 6 million—but America is in decline. I’m not saying there is a correlation, but I think it’s self-indulgent to say the country needs skilled immigrants.

In the UK at least, this is only true for a certain type or - shudder - class of person. For the vast majority of people, just getting the right course is the reason for the choice of university to attend.

Certainly, for the vast majority of people I've ever known, getting a spot at Oxbridge not only was not 'extremely important' - it wasn't even a consideration.
Former Econ major, now in tech (worked at multiple unicorns in first 50 people and now am a repeat founder). Have hired all the functions over the years.

Product management, BizOps, corporate finance, or data science / data analytics are good bets. You can definitely try sales or marketing too if you want, undergrad major doesn’t matter much for those roles. SalesOps and Marketing Analytics / Growth Ops tend to be more interesting over time than Sales or Marketing channel ownership.

It’s hard to break in to being a PM, so often starting with strong analytical roles will help you make that case, if you’re not technical and don’t have UX experience. PM is generally an apprenticeship model so I’d recommend working under an A+ product-minder founder at a product-led company, over going to the Google APM program or something similar where you learn process more than results. You’ll learn faster.

No path is wrong - corp finance you get into by being an i-banker first, BizOps a consultant, data science through data analysis (or PhD but that doesn’t seem like your path). Professional services are mostly 2 year, entry level jobs so it’s far from a permanent decision if you did that. Great founders have come from many paths, like the recovering lawyers in the PayPal mafia.

Just make sure you stay humble and remember you’re not the one who can actually build the company, like your Eng partners :)
The median household income in California is $77.5k [1]. I'll emphasize household. Your 9-month pay was for 20 hours, that means $25k is actually $66.6k annualized which does not include your subsidized housing nor for inflation. The economics just simply is not there. Sure, students might be able to squeak 10-20% in wage increase at the cost of all other university voluntary support such as student group support and things like free gym memberships.

Furthermore, I can very easily see one "professional" TA replacing 5 grad students. Just use HN search to find how many people's advisors told them that teaching does not win Nobel prizes. To be frank, most (not all) grad students do the job poorly. First, the professional TA automatically is 2 grad students because they can devote twice as much time, but then there is economies of scale where they can teach the same stuff multiple times in the larger classes. Again, the number of people would would be signing up to be a professional calculus TA for $100k would be very high.

Late reply, but my general impression is that US parents tend to have much more a view of "ownership" over their children. By that I mean you read a lot of views that seem to indicate that parents really consider children their property and they should be able to decide everything. I find it quite baffling considering the very strong importance of personal liberties in the US.

I am wondering if you know some Rust?

For now, Glicol can be used as a VST plguin, where you can write audo logic with Glicol syntax:

If you want your own vst (with your name on the author and you can sell),you can start with vst-rs:

Wanna some GUI, here is a template:
https://github.com/DGriffin91/egui_baseview_test_vst2

In writing the vst, you may need some rust audio lib, you can search dasp, fundsp, or wait for glicol_synth published as a Rust crate (like pip or npm)

> She was lying about the most trivial things, for the sole purpose of manipulating her children into behaving the way she wanted them

As a children, you depend on your parents for food, shelter, physical and psychological safety... everything.

Children sooner or later realize that they are being manipulated by the very same people that they should trust most.

Unsurprisingly, it's quite traumatic and the trust is difficult to win back.
UIC has been underfunded for so long that it is a joke. I don't even think that they even budget that kind of thing anymore and just accept the fact. But, the computer science college is going to have a building dedicated to computer science due to the fact that a bunch of alumni are funding it directly. I personally gave around $100 but I would guess many other alumni will give much more.
As a greybeard, I have seen plenty of old ways become new again. It's hard to predict when the next shift will be or where it will go, but it will shift.

Edit: All it takes is one tenured professor who strongly filters submissions for good papers to keep standards high for a department to look much better, but then you'd be stopping your lab from playing the citations/publications game which is necessary for future postdocs. I may be cynical.
I appreciate your insistence on evidence of starvation. Death from starvation generally requires 30 - 70 days without food, depending on starting weight, body fat, activity levels, etc. Shanghai has been under lockdown for 12 days. It is unlikely you will find any real evidence of starvation.

More interesting to me are the claims that food is scarce, grocery orders are unreliable, the government has not provided sufficient rations. Most importantly, the claim that the government insisted there would be no lockdown and arrested folks for disinformation when they predicted it, thus leaving the population unprepared.

Do you have any evidence that the government prepared the populace for this event? Do you have evidence they are supply sufficient rations?
I'd agree it very much depends on the individuals. I have worked with people all across the spectrum. My advisor was absolutely in the "good" camp - we'd openly describe call academia the "world's biggest hidden pyramid scheme". He led a small, tightly knit group, and the group followed the two pizzas rule.

I've also dealt with people who tried to come across like this, but were the absolute opposite - they'd grown a pretty large research group to get their chair, but had a reputation of over-promising and under delivering. They'd promise things without the technical knowledge to understand what they were saying they'd do, then causing morale problems among their team when people found out what had been promised. They absolutely didn't follow the two pizzas rule - you could barely find their whole group, let alone fit them in a room. This prof would try to give the impression they wanted others to grow and succeed, but ultimately it was all about them, and preserving their carefully crafted hierarchy. They didn't like to hear "no", and couldn't bear the thought that they were over stretched and not delivering, so everyone would tell them things were fine, as they under-delivered, exacerbating the situation...
I'm sure it wasn't your intention, but this comment describes perfectly why I find there's nothing appealing about colonizing Mars. Ah yes, that glorious future of humanity, let's go live underground in a tube. Not that I don't understand the intellectual appeal of space faring (smart people doing smart stuff with technology), but I find the picture of humans in space such an impoverished vision of the future.

> It used to be that you would buy a game—a piece of software purpose-built to entertain you. Now you are no longer buying a game; you are buying a value extraction device that uses a game as bait.

This applies to a lot of things besides games nowadays. A lot of software (and certain hardware - "smart" devices, etc) are built/sold at a loss with the primary objective being to generate "engagement" and/or collect personal data. The functionality of the device is purely there as a bait to get the mark to buy/adopt the software or device and would not be there if there was a way to get the marks to "engage" anyway.
> The way I see it, a language should either allow 'closing' over the color (or effect or capability, or whatever) hiding it, so that f' doesn't beed to care about the details of r; or it should provide enough of polymorphic behaviour so that f' the signature of f' can be inferred from that of r.

> Most languages with async do not provide this capability.

Those where async is syntax sugar for something else (e.g., JavaScript, Python, I forget if C# qualifies this way) allow hiding; you don't need annotation to call an async function, you only need it if you choose to use async syntax in the calling function.

Decent labor standards would be a start.

Universities are rather analogous to sweatshops in how they operate and the economic reasons for doing so. And I suspect that, in much the same way, this state of affairs represents a sort of Nash equilibrium that cannot be significantly altered except by an outside force changing the rules of the game.
> it’s easier to discuss when it happens to another country with an

I'd say it's actually harder, because one cannot compare like for

analysis.

> I was surprised, last year, that techniques we were condescending
about, and saying it only happens in China, were applied in Europe

I think those making condescending remarks about China were not
realists, and perhaps a little racist. Of course similar authoritarian
responses were applied around the globe, some less heavily handed than
others, and some with better results than others. And in some places
there was a liberal response that put choice and civic responsibility
into the hands of citizens, again some with tragic outcomes, and some
with joyful results. Quite a mixed bag.

> As if it was an emergent property of a human group facing a new
disease.

It certainly is. I think the results surrounding disgust and disease
that Jordan Peterson and his group of researchers talk about , as well
as the theories of Adorno etc on the "authoritarian mind" should now
be checked against data we have from the pandemic. There will surely
be xome confirmations and surpises.
Shouldn't your product be independent of Jupyter? Jupyter is amazing but still seems to have a beta feel to me as often old Jupyter notebooks will not work at all (for lots of reasons).

I love python, hate the limits on google sheets apis, and don't really honestly think VBA is "scummy-crummy" it is just unsupported. Microsoft made a huge mistake discontinuing real Visual Basic, as it honestly could have been where Python is now, instead VB.net is basically dead, and the momentum Microsoft had with wysiwyg code editing is way behind where it was.

Very cool that you are generating code for the Jupyter notebook. What are the practical row limits as I see that as one reason someone might use Pandas instead of Excel?

This is a point of frustration to me. It seems like there's a significant disconnect between research in academia and research in the real world.

Beyond that, a lot of software engineering research doesn't seem to be easily reachable or discovered unless you're in academia.

Real world software engineering has to ship a real working product, while academic software engineering only has to produce a paper. Maybe that's an unfair representation though.
No thanks. Doubt it would change performance. Gov jobs are already considered cushy jobs for the incapable.

I find it reasonable to think that people can broaden their sexual interests over time somewhat like their experience of foods, arts and even work.

I think there is a knee-jerk reaction to "acquired homosexuality" because it was used so long a an excuse to persecute homosexuals. But like many arguments in our society, I think it is the wrong hill to die on. Because to overly concern oneself with winning the argument over whether homosexuality is acquired or not somewhat cedes the ground to the authoritarians. It implies that there is something to be lost if homosexuality is acquired. That if it were, we should probably then accept some regulation of the sexual lives of consenting adults.

I do understand there is a purely scientific interest in many questions. At the same time, this seems one of those questions that's very easily confounded by a myriad of social factors.
Hahaha cool!

It definitely is a scary business proposition for them to improve Excel and awaken the 800lb gorilla. Microsoft is certainly capable of improving Excel in ways that might even improve the productivity of the entire world. Seems like some of these startups are likely just giving training to future Microsoft employees.

Virtual Meeting Backgrounds from Your Kindle Collection
We are a small B2B, and during the pandemic our primary source of income disappeared. Our president built out a new service, one that is VERY analytics heavy. He built it in weeks using Excel, rather than the months it would have taken using "proper development". It's a beautiful monstrosity, and eventually needs to be ported to our codebase, but it saved the company.
Book Tapestry lets you create cool virtual meeting backgrounds from your Kindle collection so you can trigger engaging conversations and deeper connections during online meetings!

The backgrounds animate every minute to keep your audience engaged. Works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet!

> The real problem would be if the people making all this money just hoard it

It’s not actually really possible to hoard money. A dollar is meaningless until you use it to convince someone to give you something.

If you just accumulated $1T in cash and hid it under your mattress, all those people wouldn’t just do $1T less stuff. They would just do a little more for $1 than they would’ve before. That adjustment might take a little while so the fed might (did) print $1T to speed things along.

Also, when some one like Jeff or Elon is worth $300b - it doesn’t mean he has $300b. It just means that other people are willing to purchase their shares in eg Amazon such that if were to sell all of them at that price, it would add up to $300b.

But that money didn’t change hands, it’s just indicative. And of course if Jeff were to say “I’m selling all my shares right now who wants em” the price would change dramatically because nobody actually wants to buy all that. So really he would get about half of the money or something.

> the capacity to solve problems also scales with population

Missing a potential key factor is not a logical fallacy. You can be perfectly logical operating from the wrong set of underlying assumptions and be completely wrong.

I'd say that your statement sounds intuitive but is not necessarily correct. As a cell's size increases, its surface area and volume both increase, but its surface area increases by the square of the radius while the volume increases by the cube.

The problem set and the solving power both increase as population size grows, but I would say problem set almost certainly increases faster. That's why people break populations down into smaller groups to be managed (federal, state, county, city, HOA).

As technology improves we may be improving the rate at which our solution power scales with population, but I think it's likely we have a long way to go until it scales faster.
