For what it's worth, sounds like the professor would have qualified under the EB1A/B scheme, which even for Indians is "Current". The qualifications are not very hard to meet for someone working as a professor, or even a postdoctoral researcher.
I call bullshit. There's no shortage of examples of people, both those qualified for the task and those completely out of their element, trying to do whatever they could to make the situation better right up until it killed them.
Who Wants to Manage a Millionaire? [2000]
I worked for a popular software services company that used this sort of thing on their inbound interest forms.

They found that oftentimes prospective clients would write a first draft that was much more candid about what they wanted and what their budget was, and then they'd revise it to make it more circumspect before submitting.

Going into negotiations, our side had the original unfiltered data.
So you're saying the hiring process is racist?
This can be said for every profession.
Yes, they are in absolute terms. To prove that they are exact we would need to have a complete understanding of the universe, which we do not have.

In practical terms, some of them are in the sense that it is impossible to measure their inaccuracy with common equipment and our primitive human senses. In the end, their purpose is to make predictions and help us make sense of what’s around us, they do not need to be exact.

Wrong, the goal is to crash wages as far down as they possibly can be crashed.

About 30 years ago we decided to compete economically with China. We knew they could not reach our level of prosperity. We overlooked the current situation where we sink to their level.

AvE does a lot of teardowns of power tools. Here's a comparison of a HF vs Milwaukee item:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cSiI9MB9MA

I've watched a few of these and the upshot is that there's definitely a quality difference between HF and name brands. I've burnt out a HF angle grinder (which they replaced under warranty). For the most part, HF tools work fine for hobby use and sure they're cheap. But when this angle grinder dies again I'll buy a name brand one (for probably $50) - it gets a lot of use and driving to HF is annoying.

I think this really comes down to the equity grant and whether or not you think that you can personally move the needle. If you're a junior engineer getting your second job, it's a little bit of a scam to be sold on equity. You probably aren't so good at programming that you'll carry the entire company to success; you're being hired because you're a warm body for cheap. But if you're the CTO or VP of Engineering and you're good at that kind of role, then you certainly have the opportunity to build a team that can do better than the average startup, and thus your equity could really be worth something.
This conversation is especially interesting given the FDIC is probably the most decentralized component of traditional financial infrastructure.

It has cost taxpayers effectively nothing and rests on mutual insurance across the system. Yes there is a line of credit to the Treasury but the overall security it has provided for 70 years is probably hard to measure compared to the Fed buying/selling activity. I know there are probably teams working on this for crypto already (without the law mandate).

Ah yeah, I remember that guy that was supposedly the investor's expert that we met right after lunch.Obviously his meal was copious and also helped with large servings of alcoholic beverage, so after 15 minutes of our explanations (we were sitting in front of him at his desk) he started snoring audibly with his head down on his chest... We looked at each other and waited for a solid minute before trying to wake him up with some gentle coughing.
You should move your crypto out of Coinbase or any other exchange's wallet into your own cold wallet.

In Coinbase's case, you can move that crypto to any wallet, including Coinbase's Coinbase Wallet app, where you have possession of the private key and should still have access to those funds if CB were to go south.

But yeah, welcome to the world of currency not backed by guns, so to speak.
My favorite is when a French colleague wanted to send some "demands" to a customer. He meant "questions", "demander" = "to ask", he didn't realize that "demand" has a very different implication in English. Fortunately this was caught before he sent that email.
Correct, the assets you have in a wallet (something you have a secret phrase for) are not controlled by Coinbase.
It’s really hard to have a meaningful discussion if we’re warping the definitions of words so much that “keylogger” now means something other than “a thing that logs keys” :(
When you ask that question matters.

By immediately spending more time on such nonsense you've chosen to give it top priority.

What makes arbitrary geographic borders markers of diversity ?

The language, religious practices, food, festivals and traditions change every 100 miles in India. It is an old civilization with as much or more diversity than all of Europe.

Small countries like Belgium, Netherlands and Austria can balkanize and claim diversity over minor differences. Yet, Indians are clumped together under 1 umbrella ? How does that make sense ?
As a native English speaker “political map” means to me both specifically “sovereign state borders” and generally “a map that relates to politics”. If I’m on Google Maps and there’s a button that says “show political map”, I would expect country borders, but if someone tells me “here are some political maps” then I’m expecting anything that has to do with politics.
> If you count at the polling locations, most countries manage it in 24 hours for the most part and public scools/libraries can reopen on monday.

First, most countries don't have elections as large as the US presidential election, which is the third largest in the world only behind India and China. Counting to 160 million is a lot harder than counting to 10 or even 50 million.

Secondly, if you really want to count in 24 hours you'll need a lot more trust. For example, my polling location was my neighbor's garage. My neighbor ran that polling location, so if you want to count at the polling location you'll just have to trust my neighbor opening up all the ballots and believe whatever he says.

If you don't want to trust him, you'll have to transport the ballots to some other location and count them with more process, and now you have to invent a system you can trust for transporting ballots. So why not just use that and not have my neighbor open up all the ballots?

Besides, no matter what you're going to want to audit the results, and you'll have to transport the ballots at that time for the audit. Yes it's true that transportation creates a vulnerability but at the same time it's not a really good one (as shown by the fact it hasn't been exploited as you imagine). So I feel like continually pointing it out just because it makes you "feel" like the system can't be trusted (although you can't really specify why, just that it doesn't have some features you like), is getting old at this point.

Yes it's not 100% secure in some way you imagine it can be penetrated. No, that doesn't mean we should put in place systems that do nothing to shore up the vote, but actually make it harder for everyone to access. Now that is a way to make people lose trust in a system. That's called "security theatre" - when you implement a pointless security regime for no other purpose than to make some people "feel" better.

> Give everyone mandatory 3 hours off on election day(which would be saturday so most people dont work anyway) and you are fine. Noone is "disenfranchised". This appears an excuse not a serious issue and just about every country managed to solve it.

When you hear people complain about disenfranchisement, this is never an option on the table. Of all the voting laws passed by Republicans since 2020, none of them include a voting holiday, let alone a mandatory one.

IQ helps predict job performance even among unskilled labor. CEO's tend to have high IQ, so you'd expect them to perform better than average people in unskilled labor as well once they have gotten comfortable with the role. (Statistical expect, that is the statistically expected performance of CEO's at the role vs the statistically expected performance of typical current employee, would still be lots of overlap)

The following study shows this connection for low skilled job. It also shows that the connection has to do with IQ correlating with better understanding of the role, so wont show until after the worker has learned it, but the connection is still there so you'd expect the CEO to learn the role better than an average employee.

Instagram’s NFT Support == Meta Tracking Your On-Chain Activity
This was my first thought when I saw the support for NFT’s on Instagram. Once you link your wallet address(es) to your Instagram account, Meta can track your on-chain activity and show/sell ads based on it.

Are other people thinking about this the same way?

The status conferred through clothing is not determined by anything so objective as fit or so friendly as self-expression. It is determined entirely by the people who see you. If your peers/coworkers/friends happen to think Armani is cooler, anything else would be an eccentricity. (This is why anyone with sense eventually converges on casual clothing.)
It is true that bertopic is a great tool. It's modern, it's modular, and it's pretty performant.

That said, I want to caution against using topic modeling as a one-fits-all-solution. As the author stresses, this is one particular approach which uses a combination of embeddings (sentence, or other), umap and hdbscan. Both umap and hdbscan can be slow, so it might be worthwhile to check out the GPU enabled versions of both from the cuml package.

In addition, topic models have a huge number of degrees of freedom, and the solution you will get depends on many (seemingly arbitrary) choices. In other words, these are not the topics, they are some topics.

That said, it's awesome, really great work by Maarten Grootendorst and a great blog post by James Briggs.

It's in the interest of citizens to get their goods at the cheapest price. Thats why you have imports, which is no less than importing the produce of labor.

With people, you have the added benefit that if people working within your country they spend and consume in your country.

Countries all over the world fight each other for talent, and the US immigration system is doing to itself what other countries spend money to prevent.
> Meanwhile for those that have the time and willpower to grind leetcode, they know they can command a 20-40% raise every few years.

One thing a lot of people forget about this 20-40% number is: It's only true early in your career. It might be hard for younger folks to believe, but you will all hit a ceiling and plateau. My first job hop was for +50%! The next one was about 40%, the next one 15%, and so on. Now, with 20+ years of experience, my last job hop was for maybe 0.25%.

If I could get +40% every time I switched jobs, I'd only have to have switched jobs 9 times in my life in order to be making $1M/yr.
Those of us who were around in 2008 remember when Lehman went bankrupt.

In that case they were the custodian for hedge funds assets. Lehman held those assets, in some cases because the British government force them to.

This really caused 2008 to spiral as now hedge funds that were perfectly fine got locked up and had to pull assets from the market due to Lehman holding their assets which caused even more selling and the feed back loop continued as funds sold their best assets first(think the Microsofts of stock world).

A coin bankruptcy would be the same thing, retail probably doesn't matter too much but if COIN held institutional funds, those guys do need to have liquidity for redemptions. This would mean alto of sell pressure on other exchanges and would lead to the best and highest quality crypto assets getting hammered down as funds fled to cash/stable coins.

Solana would probably crash and then shut down the network, even though they still try to claim they are a decentralized network:)

ETH and BTC would see very sharp drops in the first few days and then bounce back as people need to put money somewhere.

DEFI would feel this sell pressure and have alot of failings due to liquidity pools bein drained in this rush to quality. At best they'd get shutdown, at worst they'd just fail and go away.

You'd also expect the algo based stable coins to break the peg, even the well collateralized DAI would probably break.

Tether would probably continue on just fine as that's probably what most institutional funds would go to and I've given up on trying to predict its demise,
This is one of the reasons I believe that Apple will feature Airbnb as a launch partner for whatever kind of AR/VR device they might end up launching. Could easily see the user story of "know exactly what you are renting" on stage when they launch the product. Remember, Airbnb built their business on high quality image capture. The famous story of doing things that don't scale where they hopped from host to host capturing beautiful photos of their spaces. VR is the next leg and a meaningful use case. Imagine if every host could capture their own space by waiving their phone around their space? Big idea here.
I cut my reservation short according to host's cancellation policy. Host wrote a review on my page that I was racist to her. I never even met the said host or anyone at the airbnb. WTF.

I explained this to airbnb but they said they have policy that reviews cannot be be removed/modified. So now I have that on my reviews. Great!
At first I agreed. But then I realized I work in finance and it’d be nice to know they use Excel instead of Sheets. I can’t stand Sheets for any serious work.
Oh, come on: he had numerous examples from all over the world where the political implications are quite different. The author's view was simply that old political boundaries have lingering effects, and he demonstrated that very well.
I don't quite think you understand. The data presented here absolutely does not allow for the conclusions you make particularly in your second paragraph. In fact the reality could be exactly the opposite way (i.e. geography has no influence on things like modern election results whatsoever) and you wouldn't know it based on this data.

Think about the countless numbers of ways you could overlay any sort of historical map over some map representing any kind of relevant statistic. A smaller but still countless number of them will have strong correlations by pure chance alone. This is a simple fact of statistics.

The author here is filtering out exactly those that happen to have those kinds of correlations backed by some preconceived ideas the author has about how the causality is supposed to work and uses them to fuel his hypotheses, while ignoring the uncountable number of map overlays that don't show these correlations.

This is bog standard selection bias.

With both Trezor and Ledger it is possible to use Electrum as the GUI (interface) app. So if they go out of business and/or stop supporting the specific hardware wallet model that you own, you can continue using it with Electrum.

I think this was because at the time of picking the name, Windows with a working 65-bit Windows-on-Windows subsystem only ran on x86 and x64, so the naming made sense. DEC builds weren't relevant at the time and ARM was still far away from gaining 64-bit support. There was a 64 bit version of XP for Itanium but that couldn't run x86 code natively.

It'll be interesting to see what Microsoft will do if Windows on ARM actually takes off. As far as I know, the current translation layer can't execute amd64 on ARM, only x86. Will we see Program Files, Program Files (x64) and Program File (x86)? It would make sense; have the redirection system ready to go and the naming scheme would also make perfect sense. ARM doesn't need a special 32-bit folder because there's no notable 32-bit vs 64-bit clash; nobody is migrating upgrading their Windows CE device to Windows 11, after all.
> That's not what happens when you're a monopoly.

Fortunately, that's not exactly correct. After getting burned a few times with AirBnB I now use booking.com mostly. Of course they are evil in their own ways, but the percentage of incidents is much lower for me.
And shortly after he entered the country, studied and then worked for many years.

We used Airbnb almost exclusively 5-10 years ago. We’re now back to nearly 100% hotels, with Airbnb as a backup option if there truly is not a suitable/available hotel.

1 out of 3 airbnb stays was deficient to the point of affecting the trip in some way: didn’t match the description, overbearing rules, maintenance/cleanliness issue that was difficult to resolve with absentee hosts, etc.

The costs became equal to or more than hotels once you added in fees, and the experience was guaranteed to be less consistent than just booking a familiar hotel brand.
The cost savings can't have been that great because PES is no better than FIFA now when it comes to nickel and diming players constantly.

My man, I hope you're not American because the world has a laundry list of complaints against America. People care about different things to different degrees. You compromise on who you think is the closest to your positions. In a country of 1.3B people, there is always divergence of opinion and in fact nearly no-one would have even thought about immigration as a concern when voting.

There is a difference between the personal things you can influence and being the 1/13000000th voice of the people.

Another more serious mistake is that further down the thread he refers to the DDR as a "former Soviet Republic", which it absolutely was not.
I'm not sure what you mean by "not transactional". SQLite implements transaction support at the "page" level, and builds all other database operations on top of it, which means anything that touches the bytes of the database file is transaction-safe. You can verify this for yourself:

sqlite> CREATE TABLE foo(a,b,c);
sqlite> INSERT INTO foo VALUES (1,2,3);
sqlite> BEGIN;
sqlite> ALTER TABLE foo DROP COLUMN b;
sqlite> SELECT * FROM foo;
1|3
sqlite> ROLLBACK;
sqlite> SELECT * FROM foo;
1|2|3

It's of course still subject to SQLite's normal restrictions on locking, which means a long-running ALTER statement will block concurrent writers (and probably also concurrent readers if you're not running in WAL mode).
Prisma won't work with D1 out of the box. The primary limitations are:

- SQLite is traditionally embedded in an application, so Prisma interacts with it by mounting a file. Workers does not have a local filesystem, and D1 is exposed over the network through an API accessible from a Worker. Prisma will have to create a specific connector for D1.
- Workers have a script size limit which is currently 1MB. My understanding is that Cloudflare will be increasing this in the future. We also have specific work to decrease the size of Prisma. Both of those will have to happen before Prisma could be used with D1.

Note that Prisma already support querying Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server and MongoDB from Cloudflare Workers through the Prisma Data Proxy, which will see a GA release next month.

We are also very excited about D1 as a way to bring a subset of data closer to users in order to deliver faster experiences. We hope this will be a way to bring the benefit of edge computing to larger organisations who cannot simply rearchitect everything to run on Workers.
I'm not sure what the difference is between this and a bunch of other ones like Jekyll or Middleman? Is it in the render phase? What am I missing?
