Science continues to work, but the work of being a "scientist" really sucks because of this stuff.

I personally left science because I could see it had 98% overlap with what I'd do as an engineer (or entrepreneur, in the case of a PI), with a tiny fraction of the monetary benefit. Being a winner in that system is a great life, but it rests upon a huge pyramid of people who are working their butts off at low pay and lower prestige, for a brass ring that few will ever grasp.
And probably the most difficult to estimate are the implied odds. If you do make your draw, how much money can you expect to make in later betting rounds.

Implied odds are interesting in that they can make very bad hands more playable because if you do hit, then the likelihood that your opponent believes that they are winning is higher (because the chances of such a bad hand being played rather than folded immediately should be low) and thus the probability that you can elicit more money from them is higher.

Small pairs and low suited connectors are good examples of these kinds of hands. Your pre-flop chance of winning with a pair of 2's on a full table is pretty low. But if the flop is 2-K-A, you will likely get a lot of action.
It is independent of the processor architecture, and to a large extent the operating system. (As opposed to an ordinary binary executable, which depends on both.)

The compiler turns Java source into bytecode. The JVM runs the bytecode. The JVM doesn’t need the compiler to run.

I have had zero bad passenger interactions on any long-distance train I've ever been on; part of that may be the cost keeps out the riff-raff, but there's a certain group that travels by train and everyone gets along quite well in my experience.
Agreed. It is oddly convoluted, does not change the privacy equation, does not really change freedom of speech equation.. I am genuinely not sure who would benefit from this particular setup.

When I first read it, my instinct was that somehow it will be fixed with a 3rd party data broker and I pre-emptively groaned.

That's probably because your standards are different than mine. I don't call a $20K investment "capital from an emerald mine owner", I call that "pocket money".

Your consultancy firm probably earns more than that in a month. Or not?

There's no restriction on exporting raw data. Just on resolution and maximum frame rate. Hence the annoying 9fps limit on FLIR's consumer products.

Though I half suspect they also do that for market segmentation since there's a long list of countries that the export restrictions don't apply to. You can easily buy their super expensive cameras which don't have a frame rate limit if you have the money.
I am also a foreign born person of Indian descent and agree with the person you’re replying to. I have never been aware of my cast, the cast of other Indians / Indian origin people I interact with, and think that’s a good thing. Could you elaborate on why you think the negative effect - that making previously oblivious people aware of castes could increase discrimination - doesn’t exist?
"I think this is a problem with all cable news, and is more or less directly responsible for the dramatic polarization of US politics over the last 30 years. Politics looks more like sports now. Irrational fandom and support for one's "team" is fine when it is over something trivial like moving a ball from one end of the field to another. It becomes detrimental when it's over things that actually impact our lives."

that is probably true. And reporting about politics like sports brought out the worst of the US two party system. The talking head format did a lot of damage too.

I came to the US in 2000 and when in 2004 they philosophized for hours about whether people would prefer to have a beer with Bush or Kerry I thought "WTF? What does this have to do with anything?".
Overpopulation is mostly just a way to hand-wring about developing countries that aren't responsible for most historic emissions and have much lower per-capita emissions. It often overlaps with racist neocolonialism (see: Bill Gates directing global health policy and being really concerned about black birth rates)

As for economic development I think the past few years have shown us very well (though whether or not people want to hear the message will remain to be seen) is that optimizing for economic growth and development (namely GDP) means you're not optimizing for things like redundancy and resilience and stability. Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of a cancer cell; it doesn't have to be ours. How many more "once in a lifetime" economic crisis do we get before we take that to heart?
For 3:

a. The official number is ~254,000 (in the USA) which is certainly a major over-estimate. True number is certainly far less.

b. Employees who died or retired don't count as resigned.

Maybe they have to end up somewhere in the job market, later. Maybe they got long Covid and are recovering. Maybe the isolation made them decide they needed to take time to consider what they want in life and to pivot/re-train. Even a small portion of the workforce on each reason to resign work, collectively at the same time, looks indistinguishable from a wave.
A much more likely explanation on the bowling thing is that physical fitness is not required to be a good bowler. Consider:

-There are lower-paying sports where fitness does matter, and they all have fit athletes at the top.

-There are way more conventionally fit folks than there are pro athlete slots; It's not like the select few fit people in the world are being exhausted before they can fill the ranks of all professional athletics.
Haha yes, I'll admit there are probably better ways to decompress :D
And they are nowhere near as liquid when it comes to employment as in the US. The trade off of not having employment at will is extremely slow hiring processes and a lot of difficulty when firing employees that do not perform well. All in all employment at Will is probably what makes Silicon Valley thrive. Otherwise nobody would dare to start a company.

This is like saying a public school teacher can't buy a cigarette because his money actually came from "taxpayer funds".

The moment the money enters the teachers account it is no longer taxpayer money. The same is the case for the university. How they spend the tuitions is entirely upto them.

Good point and an interesting though actually.
I think it's fine to accuse people of things, even though I did feel a little sad about it. I don't think the problem is that you broke rules of a web forum, or that you attacked me. I wasn't complaining that you were flippant and off-topic, I was complaining that you think silly web designs are a masculine trait, which is incredibly sexist, as well-intentioned as the sentiment is. Geocities was almost gender-balanced, which included a lot of people of all different kinds of backgrounds making strange-looking web pages. Neocities has more web pages by women than nearly anywhere else on the Internet, and many of those designs aren't to corporate sensibilities, either.

> Ah, it sounds like you may need to study a little history if you’re curious about these terms.

I am a mind in thrall to delusion.

> Sex bias means a cultural bias or prejudice based on someone’s sex.

Using the word “prejudice” to define “bias” doesn’t help me to understand the term.

> Cultural bias is about having ingrained prejudices in large social groups.

Okay, so different people having different assumptions which they use to judge phenomena.

> The goal is to remove bias and prejudice that is hurting certain categories of people, preventing them from having equal access to opportunity to improve their lives, and to make decisions about people based on their interests and abilities, and to establish and respect some basic human rights across the board.

There are lots of things that lots of people will tell me are hurting them. Personally, I don’t care about any of them. But how do you prioritize one claimed hurt over another?

> but this sounds like a straw man and that you’re skeptical

Probably, I was just guessing.

> I will turn your question back on you: what is the alternative you’re suggesting, do you support having different standards for men and women in QA?

I don’t really care. The hiring/promoting practices of 2022 American QA departments doesn’t interest me. Let the Harvest Gods have their day.

> Do you support the idea that a woman developer who writes the same quality of code and works as hard and has the same level of experience as her male coworker should be paid the same amount?

Depends on the context. Does disqualifying the woman help me to get what I want, then I’m all for it. Otherwise, I don’t care.
Funny that you are literally discounting an Indian American, telling them how they will think and feel about the topic.
Sounds like crypto is in big trouble.

While Coinbase's value is not dependent on a given price of a given crypto currency they are quite dependent on people using and trading some crypto currency.

With big companies and if you are not household name, I believe it should be easier than people think. Change your email and phone number in CV next time you are applying and nobody will remember your past with the company.

I am hiring manager in mid-size company and if you used different email to login into workday, to work for somebody who is not sitting next to me, no chance your previous behaviour could disqualify you in any way.
There in the UK you've had a republic for some six or seven centuries, your kings are mere entertainers hired and fired at will, as Charles I found out.

The crypto bubble is popping. There are a huge number of dead coins and NFTs, with more to come. Bitcoin and ETH are useful enough to stay around, but most of the off-brand ones are doomed.

List of dead coins.[1]

NFTs stall, rather than crashing. High asking price, low offering price, few sales.
Peak NFT volume was in late 2021.

Everything that depended on growth rather than profits is tanking. Even Softbank is in trouble.

Habit forming? This is obviously a physical dependence like any other drug. There are thousands of case reports on /r/decaf outlining a recovery period of months and years with horrible side effects like anhedonia, panic attacks, sleep issues, brain fog, cramping. The hardest day is day 2?? You honestly believe that is sufficient payback for the years of being buzzed up and artificially interested in boring and pointless office work by drinking this poison?
Whereas I solved it by instinct and am still not sure how. Maybe it is better to be lucky than good!
Maybe NPR. It has a left bias but at they report facts and don't have all these opinion talking heads.
> I'm struggling to remember the last time I saw something on mainstream media that had any impact on my life whatsoever.

I'm in Germany. Just this week, the news have been full about new policies that went into effect on June 1 to reduce cost of living amidst inflation and energy price hikes in particular (a tax rebate on fuel, and subsidized public transit passes). There is also news about shortages of particular food items like sunflower oil and mustard. (I actually wanted to purchase mustard last week and was confused why there was so little of it. Turns out that Ukraine used to be a major supplier of mustard seeds.) Also, Coronavirus policies for the next winter are being discussed, which admittedly does not have impact on our daily lifes right now, but there will be an impact when the policies go into effect.

I don't disagree with your notion. There really is a lot of news that is non-actionable and can therefore be considered superfluous, but "I can't remember the last time" is taking it way too far in my opinion.
How do you know it is "cultural bias" and even if it is why do you think it is a problem? It could be that men and women have natural different disposition to work in certain fields, it might be that even in fields where it is balanced it is the "cultural bias" that make it balanced rather than the natural disposition. I don't understand how something like that can even be proved, how do you control for all the parameters? I also don't understand why we should strive for balance? what is wrong with each group, whether grouped by sex or race or age or whatever else being specialised in different fields on average?
I agree with you. Being a scientist has become worse (although I would argue that is true for many other jobs as well). A PI nowadays really works like the leader of a small startup constantly looking for money to keep the ship afloat without the prospect of a big payout at the end.

I think people have lost sight, or perhaps never understood, the role of the product manager. The role of the product manager is to manage the product through the product lifecycle. Concept, R&D, launch, iteration/revision, maturity, decline and retirement. I’ve been fortunate enough to bring new winning products to market and to kill off a fair few. Both ends are rewarding.

That's not what caste is. Caste is a value assigned to you at birth that you cannot change no matter what you do. It's similar to race but stupider

It's money and everything that comes along with it - social status, health (both because of access to healthcare, but being able to afford a healthy lifestyle), education, safer interactions with law enforcement, job prospects and advancement, etc. If you're born poor, it's very hard to break out of that. It's not literally impossible like changing caste is, but it's very difficult.
Well, the problem as I see it is, I just gave my 2 weeks notice when I accepted your offer. I might have even given it earlier and pushed the start date a week forward so I could get a nice gap week to decompress between jobs.

Now, at this new company I've been excited to work for, I receive an email telling me that I in fact do not have a job next week and I am actually unemployed.

My options range from extremely bad (begging for old job back) to mildly embarrassing (attempting to re-accept a previously declined counter offer).
Peer review really was different in the past. Hell, Nature even used to occasionally accept papers without any review at all until the mid-1970s, if the editor thought they would provoke good discussions.

Watson and Crick's famous 1953 paper where they presented the double helix of DNA is one such example.
I've declined an accepted offer 1 week before my start date. 6 months later the company reached out again to see if we could make it work this time.

"Burning bridges" are very exaggerated.
I'm not Indian, I don't think there's a caste system for me. If people discriminate against me for not being Indian and thereby not having a caste, then I hope they get brutally fired and ridiculed, and their wealth is dispossessed.

That depends, one person probably isn't doing that in a single shot, but a three people driving in shifts might.
>This assumes folks even read legal-speak.

They obviously don't, but you're missing a key idea; why aren't they?

You can't benefit from reading without expert knowledge, and the cost is a massive time-sink. Even lawyers, with experience reviewing these types of documents, take a substantial amount of time to get through them and note them up.

If EULAs said: "In exchange for this free Solitaire App, we're going to reserve the right to inform your insurance company about which doctors you visit and the government about which abortion providers your phone keeps going to" you'd obviously read it because you can understand what's going on and you'd understand the exchange in a reasonable time-frame.

This situation doesn't exist because people are stupid. People are smart, which is why they aren't wasting their time trying to go to law school each time they need software.
The first comment was clearly talking about the internal, institutional politics of things like professional societies, academic fields, etc, while if we look at the other branch of this particular subthread we have a pretty long post about things like the media and international politics.

Perhaps it is impossible to nip talk of the latter type of politics in the bud, though.
