my spidey senses were tingling last night feeling like I had a typo somewhere... Maybe it's time for me to build that spell checker Cypress plugin I've been thinking about. Fixed, thank you!

Our main product is indeed only for Cypress today, I'm assuming you're using Playwright today? If so I'm wondering if you've had a chance to try out their trace viewer feature as well (https://playwright.dev/docs/trace-viewer). We're itching to build on Playwright as well, but want to do it once we've built out a set of features that can provide a few times improvement over the existing trace viewer. So I'd be curious if you've used the trace viewer, and if you already see our product as having a few legs up on it :)
No — individuals can still be racist.

But we’re discussing systemic racism against Asians in college admissions, so that’s an irrelevant distinction.
Are you sure China cares more about Taiwan than the US?

Taiwan is a global, single point of failure for advanced CPU manufacturing. My guess is that the US will never allow this to fall in Chinese hands.
Boole didn't work with XOR, as such, and certainly not with F2.

Boole worked with polynomials over the integers. Not all such polynomials directly represented propositions for him. But those which sent 0 or 1 valued inputs to 0 or 1 valued outputs did represent propositional formulae (with 0 as false and 1 as true).

Thus, he used a notion of + for which, in the familiar way, 1 + 1 = 2, distinct from 0.

And then he was able to interpret the inclusive disjunction of A and B as 1 - (1 - A)(1 - B) = A + B - AB. But most often, he spoke of this in cases where A and B were already known to be disjoint from each other, so that AB = 0 and this simplifies to A + B. That presumed disjointness/exclusiveness of A and B might be confused with this being XOR. But he did not use the principle A + A = 0. He worked firmly within familiar non-modular algebra.

(He spoke of all this in a fashion a bit less familiar to modern eyes than the way I'm describing it, or anyone else in this discussion is. He never talks about "the OR operation" or any such thing, for example. He just saw himself as applying ordinary numeric algebra to the laws of thought/logic, not making up some new algebraic structure. But the above is indeed in essence what he did.)
If you're in the middle of the US, there's a good chance that there aren't that many local tech jobs, requiring moving to a big city (which many don't want). It's also possible that they can make similar money in a trade as they can at the local tech jobs. If they do pay the same, I'd probably recommend a trade over IT. I know I won't be pushing my kid to be a dev based on my own dissatisfaction with the industry.
I think I tend to agree. The place to put the thumb on the scales is pre-k-12, especially early on.

If we look at purely merit metrics at the bottom of the funnel at university, then based on the approach these universities are taking, Asians will have the best merit metrics, and Blacks the worst. I fail to see how this could possibly promote a good social outcome. People are going to notice and stereotyping is going to kick in.
Many consumer protection laws streamline resolution specifically to unbog the courts.
This is a very uncharitable and needlessly aggressive take.
This might be rational behaviour on the part of the dealerships. They're burning their bridges to Ford and their customers, but if your business is going to die anyways you might as profit while it burns.

What's going to really kill dealerships is that EV's need so much less maintenance than ICE car's and most of that maintenance is tires and wipers which is highly competitive. Service is where dealerships make the bulk of their money.
I wouldn't take namday's comment at face value without some kind of citation.

It could be that it works similarly to Croatia - it's not illegal, but if you are found to be "a hidden employee" you simply owe taxes and retirement/healthcare contributions as if entire income of your single-employee company was your salary.

It could be that it's actually illegal in France. But many people are confused about how it works here in Croatia, so it wouldn't surprise me if it were the case in France too.
This is unrealistic from an Asian perspective. The US has actually lost three proxy wars with China on the other side (Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan) and what is happening in Ukraine is a total mess that no Asian country wants to be in. The US also did not manage to unite the world (including most of the Asian continent) against Russia.

The idea that the US will be willing defend Taiwan fiercely when the US did not do the same for Ukraine, against a foe that is much mightier than Russia, is silly. No country in the world wants to descend to the levels that Ukraine had gone.

There's unconscious bias, which is real (that really is a job of the human brain, actually), and then there's unconscious bias testing and training. Like I mentioned elsewhere, I've got ~ 9 minutes until an interview I'll have to attend for multiple hours so I can't adequately respond, but my perspective on unconscious bias is one of skepticism that said bias can be reliably tested for and whether the training is free of negative side effects.

What if they didn't? What if the Supreme Court decision results in zero (or near zero) black people being admitted into Ivy League schools?
I tried to sign up for a developer account with them to try out their ARM servers and met a similar brick wall. They won't activate my account and support won't talk to me, except to tell me that they won't talk to me. I tried hitting up sales and didn't get any luck there either. Too bad for them, I probably would have ended up paying for some servers if things worked out.
> Fresh young folks work more for less

I've actually found that not always true. In order to acquire talent, the very large corporation I work for has been hiring younger developers at higher wage levels to compete.
If they are truly looking for diversity of background, they can do that without race. If Yale focused on admitting smart, low income students they would have a much better diversity of backgrounds.

Really, are you also more likely to be athiest as well?

Because I mean Donald Knuth is pretty darn bright and a devout Lutheran. And when we say evidence and science are we talking about the evidence and science that guided our pandemic response?

If reality has such a hard left bent to it why do so many communist nations end up massacring their people through famine when trying to implement their ideal utopian leftist solutions?

But please go on telling me how your people are so much smarter and more intelligent than the other group of people you don't like.

Actually I'm convinced we need to do something about these dangerous conservatives, their dangerous racist, deadly views are killing children and limiting women's rights. We need to do something to stop them and help them understand reality as it really is, they just need more education. Clearly however the current model isn't working maybe if we setup special camps for them to all go to so they can be really educated, re-educated for short.

Of course there will still be people that will resist, we'll need some sort of final solution for them....

I want to make sure I'm on the right page here:

PM = Project Manager.

Projects can range from something like all of Project Loon down to some one small little thing.

Project managers can manage many people (and other managers) down to only one other person.

Project managers are given access to budgets, including hiring and project budgeting.

The role is somewhat ambiguous, but you are definitely in the 'Management' side of the business now, not the 'Labor' side.

There are two legal ways to do this:

1) The company opens a branch in France, with as director and sole employee the person in question. Employment contributions are collected on the money that the French branch pays to its (sole) employee. Very simple to set up, does require a bit of work from an accountant for the yearly accounts (I'd say to budget about 1kE/year)

2) The employee joins an IT contracting company that already has a commercial presence in both countries, they will take 10% of the take (known as "portage salarial")

Of course it is. It is a very typical pattern of the US external politics. Decompensate some frozen conflict or a status quo situation somewhere beyond the ocean and then enjoy being a safe haven when the rest of the world is burning.

I think a lot of people who defend "affirmative action" [1] are misinformed about the extent of it. It's not about preferring the more "diverse" or less privileged candidate among roughly equally qualified candidates.

It's a direct attack on the concept of merit. Some of its ardent proponents aren't too shy about this fact either. [2]

This chart [3] by the Economist is illuminating: In Harvard undergraduate admissions, a person of the wrong race with top 10% academics has a chance equal to that of a person of the right race with bottom 40% academics.

> Asian immigrants are not struggling to escape the clutches of centuries old intergenerational poverty

The children of people we put in concentration camps or accepted as refugees from e.g. the Khmer Rouge should be punished so the daughter of a hedge fund manager can get into a university named after an executive of the British East India Company? Give me a break.
Eh, that seems like a stretch. I doubt it's so subversive.

Sure it's the de facto state of things, but when conservatives don't like things they tend to do so outright, e.g. the recent Supreme Court ruling.

Plus is it really policy keeping Visa away from these trades? Or internal forces withing Visa?
> If the dealerships don’t markup the vehicles then scalpers will buy at MSRP and resell the vehicles at a markup. As bad as the dealership experience is there is less chance for fraud or theft at a dealership than from a scalper.

Dealerships are absolutely doing this themselves - create a shell company, sell to their own shell company for MSRP, sell back to the dealership at MSRP, now you get to report a compliant sale to the manufacturer, and you have a "used" vehicle on your lot with <100mi that no-one can tell you not to sell for $20K above MSRP.
The racism narrative is so flawed in America. Go back and look at how Chinese were referred to in early American literature and news. They were not considered equals either. But they performed disproportianately well wherever they went, and so they overcame whatever innate aversion Americans had towards them. Now there's a positive discrimination towards them.

It's been a similar case for Eastern European Jews, Russians, Indians, etc.

I don't understand why Hispanics should get a leg up in admissions just because they haven't gotten into schools in a high enough proportion. It seems to me the issue is supply side. You need to change the number of qualified applicants by convincing more kids to focus on college admissions.
ah yes of course, if it really "one of many" jobs it's fine in France too. What I understood from the conversation was people trying to do this for a "100% job"

One easy trick to keep your skills relevant: Just try to predict ahead of time how long-lived a technology will remain prior to learning it. If you do this throughout your career and are moderately successful, you will end up knowing a bunch of skills that will rust very slowly.

The question then is how to successfully predict the future lifespan of a technology? Obviously you'll get some right and some wrong, but with a little thought you can at least get a good batting average. The easiest trick, which actually works, is to estimate the future remaining lifespan of a technology as being equal to its lifespan so far.[1] If it's been around for a long time, it's likely to keep staying around. By contrast, most new languages, databases, etc invented in the last couple years probably won't last more than another couple years.

Some concrete recommendations this simple heuristic would have made in the recent past, just by way of example:

* If you're working in front end, just get good enough at React to get by. Instead focus your extra efforts on mastering CSS.

* If you're working in back end, just get good enough at novel NoSQL databases to get by. Instead focus your extra efforts on mastering SQL and the relational model.

* If you're in "devops" just get good enough at Ansible, Salt, Puppet, or whatever the flavor of the week is to get by. Instead focus your extra efforts on mastering fundamental UNIX/Linux systems concepts and the basics of internet protocols, etc

* If you have to get stuck on either a ruby or perl legacy project, pick the perl one.

* Learning the basics of C will likely turn out to remain useful forever (even if C itself becomes obsolete)

* Git has been around for a while and will be around for a while longer, so investing in knowing it well is probably worthwhile considering how intimately you work with version control. But the really important and long-lived skill you should master, that was applicable (if more challenging) before git and will remain applicable under whatever replaces git, is being good at resolving merge conflicts.

Etc.

Obviously use your own judgment in concert with this heuristic. Your judgment about this can get better if you practice it a lot, thinking about why some technologies live long and others live short, and what factors allow a new technology to outcompete an old one. But even if you don't get very good at it, the "It will live as long as it already has" heuristic will work pretty well.

[1] This works because it follows from the assumptions that in the absence of any other information, a technology must be estimated as currently being 50% through its total lifespan. It works for estimating the lifetime of anything else that does not decay with time, ie it is just as likely to die early as late other things being equal. So it works great for things like organizations, fashions, human languages and cultures, technologies. (Obviously it would not work for an animal, which gets closer to death as it gets older)

> What can the system do here to you? Will it jail you or fine you, or otherwise stop you, the worker, for “illegally” working on a wrong type of contract?

It can charge additional taxes and pension/healthcare contributions (which is how it works in Croatia).
That's arguing about leading/lagging indicators, though. Wages go up with inflation, more or less by definition. Wage increases due to inflation can't be measured until after the fact, though.

Short version: "inflation" is not remotely the same thing as "recession", which seems to be the point you're trying to make. If your only evidence for an economic slowdown is prices and not production or consumption, you're likely confusing factors.

Clearly the truth is that the labor market remains strong. Most people are working. Most people have multiple choices in jobs. Most people are making more money (yes, in nominal dollars) than they were last year. Those are all signs of a healthy economy. They are not the only signs of a healthy economy, and there can be other aspects (like inflation) which are less desirable[1]

[1] Though probably 80% of the people who like to yell about it don't really understand it well. Inflation, by reducing the size of existing investments and debts (i.e. "stuff wealthier people have") relative to the economy as a whole (i.e. "wage levels for everyone"), acts naturally to reduce income and asset inequality. It's not entirely a bad thing.

While it’s possibly true in this case, that’s definitely not always true. I’ve been in two companies that had to implement a hiring freeze because growth was too fast. Everyone understood, because nobody new each other, because half the company was just hired.
In bootstrapping SaaS sites, I have always been careful to grow slowly by word of mouth (no public facing registration pages at first). This keeps your initial users to friendly beta testers. When you are ready to take on more (initially beta) users (gmail was in beta for 5 years), again do it slowly and has been said elsewhere responding to requests for customer support is THE best way of getting feedback. I have only ever had a very small number of hostile users - in those cases I asked them what they thought I should do. Do they feel I should I shut down the site or would they be willing for me to work with them to make it better? In those instances, those users have become long-term friends with some of the best business and product advice I have ever received. It is important to listen.

No they're not. They caved to dealer pressure.

Carvana "guaranteed" offers are not guaranteed. Dealers don't respect them. It's essentially clickbait that dealers put out to get leads.

Carvana is a search engine and nothing more. The offer numbers are entirely fictional. I was unable to get dealers to honor them even under threat of legal action for false advertising.

The only companies trying to work around dealers are Carmax and Tesla.
Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens
Do you have any proof of that being the case? If the Chinese son makes it clear to the admission team about the hardships he overcame, surely that would be to his advantage.

Completely anecdotally, but I had two Asian colleagues from poor households. One got a full ride to Harvard and the other to MIT. Whereas, the smartest person I've ever personally known was accepted to Harvard but not given any financial aid. He was a white male with a drug-addicted mom raised by his grandma in the slums.
The US Constitution is a good example. While it's a politically controversial opinion, if the framers had extended 'indentured servitude' status to all slaves in the colonies at the time (a common status for many European migrants in the Middle Colonies, generally involving a ten-year period of forced labor before freedom was granted), it's entirely possible that the US Civil War could have been avoided. Some argue that southern slave states would never have gone along with this, however. The distribution of free laborers, indentured servants, and chattel slaves across the American colonies in the 17th century is a very interesting history that's typically neglected in education:

The point isn't that the "hijab empowers women." The point is that a woman should be able to choose for herself whether to wear the hijab or not. Autonomy, and all that.

Telling a Muslim woman she can't wear a hijab is just as oppressive as telling one she must wear it.
Even if someone would like Python to pretend to be statically typed, __subclasshook__ is real (and not even type checking in the traditional sense) while type declarations and their checkers are only quasi-executable documentation.

Personally, I think this is a very good situation: extremely dynamic languages are a worthwhile tool, and the only issue with the pattern matching "exploits" in the article is that boolean operators and non-cached evaluation for subclass checks are not built-in.

Also, the Civil Rights Act was passed in a time of extreme racism (necessarily, otherwise the laws wouldn't have been needed), society has advanced substantially since then, as has our thinking about what racism is and how it affects society.
