Even in tech, the majority of executives don't have Ivy League degrees. Some of them might have MBAs from good schools, but many went to ordinary colleges. I work in tech and in my entire reporting line, there is exactly 1 Ivy league graduate. Tim Cook went to Auburn (MBA at Duke). Satya Nadella went to Manipal Institute of Technology (then UW-Milwaukee, and later an MBA at UChicago Booth).

They’re defining having an elite background as having a parent with a post-graduate degree… which seems like a stretch to me.

Post graduate degrees are not that special anymore and they often don’t earn you much additional money, let alone power.

They didn’t remove blockchain, they moved to their own blockchain with a proof of authority mechanism. It turns out it was a terrible idea as it didn’t meet the security of Ethereum, and was pretty quickly hacked for $600 million. A rollup would have achieved the same scalability while inheriting the security and trust assumptions from the underlying Ethereum chain.

Ok, just to get it right: You think it is possible that the US would go to war against China (in defense of Taiwan). And, that they would go so far to bomb mainland China with nukes?
IIT is pseudo-meritocratic.
It's a very rigorous exam and the person who can spend their whole high school time studying phy, Chem and maths and who can spend the most money joining the best coaching institutions and best mentors bacially get the admission. Doesn't matter if someone has an IQ of 200 or India's best football player or coding genius unless they get the highest marks in physics chemistry in maths they aren't allowed. It's technically meritocratic but it is a really flawed system that rewards rigorous practice over skill, interest and other aspects of a student.
> create more extremely skilled teachers.

I think this puts the cart before the horse, and presumes that you can find the right balance of teacher skills to student requirements and that you can maintain that balance year after year.

I honestly think you get more mileage thinking the opposite direction. If you want students with passion and a life long commitment to knowledge, then they're going to need to develop those skills first. At that point, in our modern world, a single oracle of generational knowledge isn't a particularly useful addition.

What you want is generalists that know how to motivate students and to help them find and utilize the resources they need. You might only need a bunch of librarians and proctors and can skip the specialists of the "oral tradition" entirely.
> Why does she support the invasion of Ukraine then?

Mostly because she thinks the jewish nazis were killing russians in Donbas, but that's the only thing she can articulate to someone from outside.

If I was to speculate, I'd think it's a lot more to do with a general attitude of russians that they are invincible in war and how much they've been brainwashed about WW2 about how heroic it was, how the other side was so evil and how they prevailed, that they now have a pavlovian/PTSD reaction to war -- they're in WW2 again, thus the war is just, thus Russia will prevail, thus those that kill the glorious russian soldiers are subhuman-nazi-scum-devils.

I'm sure she doesn't even realize how deeply she's affected by the propaganda.

Maybe limits of human hand craft which I assume is the allure of these bespoke time pieces. That said I don't actually see the description mention hand crafting other than polishing and drawing a few surfaces. Otherwise I don't see why this is pushing any envelopes when we can make micrometer MEMS machinery. Which would be pretty slick - theoretical minimum micrometer thick watch mechanism encased in sub millimeter baseplate.

Just repeating "landlocked country" twenty times doesn't paint the clearest picture. They have a lot of untapped mineral resources. It has never been rich but people have had organic means of growth like agriculture. Sure it was never blistering growth but it was steady progress that lifted everyone. Once the PRC money started to flow, they basically bought the agricultural lands and now people who used to own the lands are working as laborers in what used to be their own land. Sure they got that initial money but they never knew how to handle that - so they blew it in the casinos, also operated by the PRC or in drugs (which were always a problem, it being the Golden Triangle area) or other things like tricked-out pickup trucks. Everybody is running after that quick PRC cash and the culture is undergoing rapid changes; signboards are in Mandarin, people prefer to learn Mandarin (even though it is English that connects them to a wider part of the world). Micro level societal changes are more subtle and hard to quantify. The country is basically becoming an extension arm of China

It is easy to look everything through the lens of GDP but it is a poor measure of healthiness of a society from sociological perspective.

Costco in Japan is great. Even without an American sized fridge and freezer it is definitely worth shopping at. It’s by far the cheapest place to buy American snacks, bacon, good peanut butter, tortillas, brown sandwich bread and kind of the only place to buy bulk. It’s an hour away from me and requires a car rental but it’s easily worth going once every 2-3 months.

> You're confusing the total number of people who have degrees with new graduates.

Yes you're right. The original data said new graduates. I got sidetracked by the formulation in your comment. I removed the false calculation.

> The only thing we can calculate with the numbers given is the ratio of new graduates who have parents with degrees to those who have parents without degrees.

Yea that ratio is 2 and 1/4 respectively? I don't even know how to put in words what we get by dividing the percentage of new grads with degree holding parents by the percentage of degree holders with college age children among the general population. Nothing useful?
Well,"space bubbles" do not provide a mechanism to reverse global warming. Space bubbles (and other shading systems) divert some of the incoming heat from the sun and would allow cooling by re-radiation. But the space bubbles do not do anything about the CO2 in the atmosphere, the root cause of global warming, and so the greenhouse effects persist. This approach is a "Hail Mary" panic response, useful when the global warming disaster is upon us, nothing has been done, and people are dying.

Others have proposed similar projects and are actively developing sunshade technology.

Amstrad CPC6128 and Enterprise 128 were arguably much better machines than the C64, architecture-wise. The idea that the C64 was the 'best 8-bit machine of the market' is very US-centric - there were certainly far better 8-bit machines on sale at the time, its just that their market wasn't the USA.

(Disclaimer: Oric-1/Atmos user here. A much better machine than the C654 - it taught me to program.)

My question before was somewhat rhetorical actually, but you managed to basically hit the nail on the head here. This is the exact attitude I encounter in many Russians of the previous generation. This is exactly how the older members of my family see it. Most of them have never had a chance to live anywhere outside of the sphere of influence of that propaganda. They have been marinading in it since the womb.
popular vote usually not a good idea when it comes to decisions which have multi-decade implications. What a screw up - understandable tho it was!
Really, actually, there is a global crisis about information and management discussion, since decades and climbing. The cost of information and the expectations from the web model - consequently, reduced quality and/or independence in the lower budgeted informational products; the raise of noise and propaganda through the deviated discussion model in social networks - with the emergence of unleashed delirium as an issue in societies that have lost the controlling/mitigating and educating pyramidal network social models, and with generated bastions for the practice of manipulation; the difficulty in managing these phenomena and cleanly so, with the emergence of perverse micro-regulation (from mentally inept terminal managers) and maximalistic macro-regulation (from governments banning "misinformation" - cpr the UK - as if it were trivial to assess truth)... I could go on.
I've actually been using notion more and more.

I suspect the US would not be very happy had one of its states unilaterally declared independence and claim they're the real US (of one). China views Taiwan as a separatist, secessionist province that would be long reclaimed if not for support from the foreign powers.

Ukraine views Donetsk/Luhansk People Republics exactly the same.

Why is Ukraine right and China not?

Sharing my own experience because this helped me through a very tough time in life.

I used this for about 2 years when I couldn't use my hands much to do all my course work in my cs degree.

I coded, dictated math and even controlled my mouse through the eye tracker integration. The community around talon is great and development speed is very fast. The speed of improvement is also rapid, it was astounding how accurately I could dictate code, and the lead developer aegis would only push out more improvements to increase accuracy. He will also routinely push out niche features for people with very specific accessibility needs.

The software is free but there is an option to pay that gets you into some beta release channels. I'd encourage anyone who cares to contribute to the development costs.

Yes, it's something I've known about for a few years, and for that I'm very grateful for the move to remote work. At this point I attribute it to a comorbidity with some other bigger thing that results in momentary ramp up of anxiety, because it's not always a problem, but when it is I need to find somewhere else to be and it's really derailing.

Ironically, after decades of laughing at the West for worrying about flimsy global warming affecting poor fishermen in the Pacific, Russia is feeling the pinch itself.

Huge amounts of their infrastructure are built in permafrost, now better characterized as "thawing bog". We're talking cities, roads, power lines, gas and oil pipelines (har har), airports, ports, mines... And it's all literally melting away. Slowly for now of course but steadily. Not to mention Taiga fires which seem to be getting worse and worse.

I have using calibre with dropbox for 10+ years now. The warning was given out mostly for the internet speeds of the time where the time for your edits to be synced took very long. I had a problem only once in 10 years even then because of dropbox revert file ability was easily able to revert.
The only caveat is I do not use calibre server so I usually start calibre do what I want and exit. If you use the server and keep calibre on all the time then Dropbox might not work as well for you though just restarting calibre after any library edits should be enough.
I think it has changed a lot during the last 2 decades. Nowadays most younger people are able and willing to speak enough English to deal with typical tourist concerns just fine. For people over 50 it might still be different unless they are 100% proud of offering good service to tourists.

I am not an expert on the matter because I always try to practice my French when being there. So those who are not willing or able to communicate in English I would never notice. Sometimes it happens that some I could understand decently well in French switch to English and I get difficulties to understand what they are trying to say. Not disturbingly often I'd say.

Thanks for the pointer. This is an impressive job - reducing a grammar correcting model to as much as 20MB. Theoretically this could even be shipped to browsers and if we are able to wrap it in an extension that works everywhere, this could seriously compete with Grammarly.

I could understand why Google wouldn't open-source this tech, but the blog pretty much covers how to build one. I'm surprised there isn't any open source project that took this direction to bring a privacy-focused grammar checker.
Yup. A huge win for the environment.

Is it a recent phenomenon in the US? My country has a pretty straightforward pay-to-win scheme, which leads to degrees with a higher barrier of entry (mostly STEM) having a disproportionate amount of middle-upper class students.

Even university is partially pay-to-win since well-off students usually spend thousands a year on private lessons that are the uni equivalent of cheat codes. Even if it weren't dominated by the elite, it would still be a fundamentally elitist system.
There's nothing "flawed" about rewarding rigorous practice over irrelevant "skills" like being a good football player or scoring well on an I.Q. test. Sure it might be nice to pick up other meaningful predictors of achievement including e.g. deep interests, but that's very hard to do reliably in any sort of high-stakes situation, and school admissions are no exception.

Weight reviews based on the spread of the user's other reviews. If a user only posts negative reviews, reduce the weight of their further negative reviews. Weight reviews from well rounded users higher to discourage people from being overly negative or overly positive.

If you have a problem with every hotel you visit, it's probably you. Right now negative reviews cost nothing... if negative reviews are expected to be a minor part of your overall review pattern, you have to be selective about expressing negativity or know that your review's relevance will suffer.

I’m referring to the scaling of the display. The reason that I say that macOS looks better is because it uses integer scaling on the studio display. While even after setting a custom resolution, (the defaults macOS chose for the Mateview were either really small or really large for my taste) the Mateview still has a bit of a blur to it in small fonts it is most noticeable. Whereas the studio display shows well because it was made with integer scaling in mind

"Tom Lord was one of the last of the real Berkeleyans, not the goofy stereotypes of the long-gone “How Berkeley Can You Be?” parade (started by a guy who lived in Piedmont) but a data-driven free-range public intellectual who was not hampered by conventional thinking. He knew a lot about a lot of things that really count, and he wasn’t shy about telling you so. He showed up frequently at Berkeley public meetings to politely set officials straight on what they were doing, even when pompous officials allowed him no more than a one-minute sound byte. ..."

Polish people in few cases did offer help to middle east refugees. But they do not want to stay in Poland. Many of them will just disappear into thin air. They want social welfare of Western Europe and are very vocal about it.

On the other hand, Ukraine is protecting us from Russia. Most men are not allowed to leave and are expected to fight if necessary. The last we can do is to provide them with weapons and take care of their families.

BTW - Poland participating in US wars is also due to fear of Russia. We need powerful ally or we will become refugees once more. In quite naive way we also saw US as a moral leader.
