I have been on multiple hiring committees and had insights into plenty of hiring processes at other “top-25” universities. My experience is that it is more complex than simply using prestigious universities, supervisors, and collaborators as markers. In fact, I have so far never heard that kind of argument raised, while I have heard diversity arguments raised more times than I can count.

Rather, my experience tells me that having attended prestigious universities, as well as having had “great” supervisors and collaborators drives up other metrics for a candidate such as publications, impact, collaboration networks, etc. Success breeds success across academic generations, due to overall positive perception of people/institutions, (in particular at top American institutions) ample access to funds, etc. Note also – and this is very important – that the metrics I mentioned are considered “objective” and disconnected from prestige. Making matters even worse, the ability to make use of the opportunities that these prestigious institutions bring, is of course correlated with intrinsic attributes you want to see in a candidate (not everyone that goes to Harvard ends up being a superstar).

It is very difficult for me to pick this apart. How can I possibly objectively tell whether individual A that entered a top-5 institution or individual B that entered a top-100 institution is most deserving? Given the complexity of it all, I suspect that I can not, but I also sincerely doubt that the insistence on “objective” metrics does much to alleviate an already very messy situation.

16kg of lithium lasts ~2000 (*200 miles) recharges and can be recycled into a new battery pack with little lithium loss and a some energy input.

16kg of gasoline lasts 1 "cycle" for 18-45 miles. The output requires significant energy input to capture and convert the co2 and H2O back into a fuel.
I would love to get some reading recommendations from you that fuel this style of writing. Pretty please?
That's a good point, you're definitely on to something I think. Reversing classes at a young age would be super engaging for kids as it's "not something you're supposed to do"

My mother is a teacher for ages 7-11 and I help out with her IT curricula sometimes. I think I might do some reversing with her next time I am with them!
Not sure what kind of "special visa" they thought they could get... To come here right now (before this change takes effect) you need to be a permanent resident, have a work visa, or be a close family member (i.e. parent/child, not sibling) of someone who lives here. Or be a tourist with one of those tourist groups of course.

Americans coming here with iPhone 14 Pro phones aren't going to have a good time: the easy and cheap way to get cellular data here is to buy a tourist 30-day SIM card at 7-11 or the airport and put that in your phone. But the 14 Pro (US model) doesn't have a SIM slot. But that's OK: anyone with a 14 Pro should be perfectly happy to just keep their regular US phone service while overseas, and pay exorbitant roaming charges. If you look at forums discussing this issue, this is exactly what the Apple fans advocate, and that you're being cheap if you waste time on foreign SIM cards to save money.

The Japan Rail Pass for those on tourist visas/entry stamps is a sweet deal that I take advantage of whenever I travel to Japan and visit different regions. It allows you virtually unlimited access to the Shinkansen and other routes operated by the various Japan Railways companies (such as Tokyo's Yamanote Line and the Narita Express) for 7, 14, or 21 days, beginning on the date that the pass is activated. I say "virtually unlimited" because there are some restrictions, such as not being able to take the fastest version of the Shinkansen that has limited stops between Tokyo and Osaka; instead you're restricted to the Shinkansen schedules that make more stops (it's still very fast even when stopping at every Shinkansen station, though). I don't know what the prices are like today (it's been five years since the last time I purchased a Japan Rail Pass), but in the past the cost of the seven-day pass was comparable to the round-trip Shinkansen fare between Tokyo and Osaka. It was a fantastic deal for somebody traveling often between different regions of Japan.
This reply is not meant to be dismissive at all, just direct: things like "how to organize and execute the operational side of a tech product" or "managing Enterprise IT" are not things that are taught in the "elite" research universities being discussed in this article. They are more likely taught (here in the US) in community colleges, vocational schools, or (at best) university extension programs (i.e., professional education programs run on the side by research universities, such as the University of California).

Whereas research universities require (or almost require) a PhD to teach undergrads (and certainly graduate students), these more professionally-oriented programs are much more flexible. They might like to see an advanced degree such as an MS or MBA, but probably would put significant value on industry experience. No bachelor's degree might be a hard sell though.
Ahh, that study. That's an interesting one. I don't think I'd summarize it as "we believe what we read" so much as "correcting false information isn't as easy as telling people they're wrong".
Except legally you can’t simply not take tour kids to school. Doing it in a “non anxious” way is a challenge
It is an obvious fact that majority of ivy league school students are coming from rich families. My argument is rather that (again with zero data to back it up) even if the ratio of full scholarship to full fee students is around 20%, a big majority of the ones who pursue an academic career (and become a professor) are the ones who got into those schools via scholarship in the first place while the rich kids mostly go back to running their family business or aiming for high paying jobs immediately after their graduation.
LTT has a video where they tried to see how many PCIe riser cables they could string together before it stopped working.[1] They got to several meters. Maybe you could argue that it's worse inside a PC case since there's more EMI, but it seems like your PCIe riser cable would have to be very out of spec before you'd notice anything.

There is a constant stubborn push back of "it's impossible" while time after time different parts of the world have proven it is in fact possible. The biggest impediment to walkable cities in the US is the broken political system that makes bipartisan efforts exceedingly rare. If a politician of one party advocates for it everyone on the other side needs to throw out bullshit arguments as to why it's dumb.
I was always under the impression that was to help stabilize long cards so they don’t sag or fall during transport.

Are those brackets strong enough for the job? I remember them being basically shallow plastic slots.
University was my playground for this sort of this sort of thing (because my high school was all paper). One subject used an Online Platform called Wiley which stored the answer in the page, a weekend writing up the script to solve it, fake a realistic completed percentage and take a realistic amount of time to solve. I used a greasemonkey script, just like this post as well!

Countless subjects also distributed questions and answers from Textbooks in a PDF format. One OCR run later and a script to clean text I had a database of questions and answers I could share with my friends to practice for the exam (which helpfully used the exact same questions). https://www.rytek.me/archive/projects/epmquiz-webapp/

Ask HN: How to share a list of curated article links nowadays?
Use case:

I curate a list of articles under the same topic, and I'd like to share this whole set of articles to internet friends. I'll continue adding new articles to this list (maybe via Chrome extension or iOS share sheet?). Ideally people can subscribe to this list via RSS or some sort of webhook / notifications.

Is there a tool for doing this thing?

What I can think of:

* Trello

* Notion

* Google Docs

* Twitter list

* ...

- the above tools are not designed for article/link curation, and they are a bit too complex for the task. I imagine the right tool just provides a clean list of links (maybe allows some custom notes for each link)

The problem with external gpus is that the pcie5x16 slot requires signal integrity chips every 5 inches or so [1]. Even for pcie4 it's bad, many people had blue screens or boot issues when using pcie3 only rated riser cables with a pcie4 video card, even though electrically they have the same connections. So, having a huge cable with x16 lanes of pcie5 on the back of the computer doesn't seem that feasible. Maybe fiber optics could be a thing.

South Korea has even fewer. Let's set the first goal at one car per household, and supplement everything beyond that with transit and electric bikes.

Yeah, there really isn't a good reason to drive unless you really want to go somewhere that doesn't have a train station. There are not all too many such places.

I'd also add a suggestion of renting a bike and riding the shimanamikaido from Hiroshima to get to Shikoku. You can also take a ferry and then bike back one-way from Shikoku to Hiroshima if you want. When I did it (2010) they only had "real" road bikes available from the Shikoku side for some reason, so when I showed up on the Honshu side I settled for a hybrid-ish mama-chari. I happened to have good weather (some time in July), made short stops at random shops on the islands along the way, and stayed a business hotel in Imabari for a couple of days, then rode back.

That trip started with attempting to walk to Nagoya to Osaka, but I only made it 50 miles before giving up and taking the train the rest of the way, because I tried to save some money and bought junk shoes that wrecked my feet. This was of course when the exchange rate was 78 yen per dollar, rather than 150 ;) That was really frustrating since it was only a few months after I ran the Tokyo Marathon, and I figured I could handle any kind of foot pain by then. Nope, don't compromise on shoes when you're thinking about trying to walk 30 miles a day.
That’s an orthogonal point. The “speech” that the first amendment is primarily concerned about is political speech. That’s the code of the first amendment protection.

The first amendment by its terms applies to the government. But that doesn’t mean that states can’t provide similar protections from the conduct of private parties.

Researcher Rodney Brooks complains: "Every time we figure out a piece of it, it stops being magical; we say, 'Oh, that's just a computation.'"

async drop is exciting because it means you can use the RAII[1] pattern for arbitrary resources. I've used this to, for example, manage infrastructure spun up for integration tests. I spin up a Docker container at some point in the test, assign the result to a guard variable, and then use RAII to clean it up when the variable goes out of scope.

Making it work without async drop was pretty hacky, so I'm looking forward to removing those hacks. Well done, Rust team!

>> However, the state is second, only behind Texas, in actual book bans

The bans in the article you cited are done at the school district level, not the state level. Holding the executive branch of government of Florida responsible for those decisions would be similar to blaming the Biden administration for the actions of Florida's executive branch.

It also appears that the link you cited confuses curriculum selection with book banning. There's a range of what can be called a book ban. For example, when the novel Ulysses was banned, people who sold the book were arrested and imports of the book into the US were seized. That's definitely a book ban. Nothing of the sort is happening in Florida.

There are also cases where local school districts remove titles from school libraries, but those books can still be borrowed from public libraries, sold in book stores, or purchased or read online. If that's a book ban, it's not a book ban in the same sense that the ban of Ulysses was a book ban.

Then there are decisions by local school districts about what material should be used to teach classes in the schools in that district. For me, exercising control over school curriculum is not a book ban and is in no way similar to seizing copies of books and arresting people for selling those books.
It's not only been done in cities all over the world, it's very much currently in progress in many places. Seattle is expanding rail, removing single family zoning, and building higher density while expanding transit. It maybe takes a decade or two, but it's extremely doable.
The state can't censor books per the 1A.... unless you're considering restricting some publications unsuitable for children "banning books"...

Also the don't say gay bill is fake news because it doesn't say that.
I'd much prefer that high density world myself, but this is a complicated problem. Rezoning as to make denser building possible, and even preferable by most people, would be great. But limiting ourselves for that solution isn't going to be enough.

Many American cities could be 1/4th of the size they currently are while still being full of single family residential + townhouses. We could be even denser if we wanted to. It'd, however, make the current homes of 3/4ths of the homeowners basically worthless. The world might be a lot better if the latest ring of single family exurbs didn't exist, but it does, and people are not going to be happy to abandon their new houses. Do we give people their money back from their now unsellable houses? Are we happy with the fact that the lucky winners that are the real targets of rezoning becoming very rich, as their land is now going to house more the families than before? How many construction workers, and construction materials, are we going to get to increase our homebuilding speed by orders of magnitude? That's a lot of materials in exchange for abandoned houses.

In practice, a change like this has to take 30-40 years minimum, and we sure shouldn't we waiting that long with gas cars. It's not a case of true solutions and false solutions: The problem is large enough that we'll have to apply many solutions at once.
This is a really heartwarming tale of having good intentions and assuming it of others. There was a similar situation in my high school days where someone's college path to computer science was taken away for something even less malevolent than described in this post, he ended up becoming a pretty wild startup founder and a defrauder of millions.
Folding bikes are much more common there, which helps a bit. You can go to a bike shop or a used-stuff-store ("recycle shop") and pick one up for $100-ish. Not going to be "nice" at that price, but it'll be functional.
