> but if any individual employee leaves the territory the reason to pay them American market rates erodes away, even if they have the American nationality. They no longer meet the need that led the company to paying those prices in the first place.

This doesn't make sense to me.

If my company employs me because it wants me to write a Ruby compiler, and there are only so many people in the world who can or want to write Ruby compilers and can communicate effectively about it, then exactly which 'reasons to pay them American market rates' do you think have gone if I move? They weren't paying for that in the first place.

They were paying to get something done. It's still getting done no matter where I am. Me moving doesn't mean that someone else suddenly becomes able to do my job for less money if they weren't before.

Companies pay to get things done. If the find the best people to do that is people who happen to be in the US then they hire there.
I think huristics of scepticism are useful when there is really something at stake, however they can become toxic to simply enjoying the wonder of life. They specifically require you to not assume positive intentions of others.

In this case, I'm fine to assume it could easily be faked, but wasn't.
I wasn't aware that your syntax has changed, thanks for the heads-up! I inherited an older codebase and found Redux to be the single most complicated part of a relatively straightforward app, and was turned off by what seemed like needless overengineering for relatively simple use cases.

The problem with “let everyone work wherever they want” is that there are a lot of real challenges with having some people working remote and some not.

I remember a saying my old boss told me when we were hiring remote workers; “if one team member is remote, everyone is remote”. In order for the team to work well, you have to move almost all interactions online or the remote worker is going to miss out. If decisions are made in person, the remote worker won’t be part of them. You have to have the discussions online anyway, even if most of the people are in office.

Plus, most companies aren’t going to want to maintain an office, with all the expenses that entails, if most people aren’t going to be there.

The thing is that in-office work only meets the needs of the in-office people if everyone else is there. So instead of every company feeling like they need to support remote work, there should be some companies that are all in-office and some that are all-remote rather than each company feeling that they need to support both. I am not the kind of high performer that companies fall over themselves to hire, but I prefer an employer with no remote work (other than full remote teams like a Europe office) and I’m sure some high performers feel the way I do.

Even if he didn’t, it was a terribly apathetic behavior while shatner tried to reflect on the emotional impact of the trip.
Easy:

1. Have some minimum objective criteria (test scores, grades, class rank, etc.)

2. Accept students who meet that minimum with a lottery.

Of course, that would never happen at highly selective colleges, because it would shatter the notion that "only the best and brightest" got in and would ruin colleges' role as a maintainer of social hierarchy in the US.

I say this as a person who went to one of the most selective colleges in the world: the idea that colleges set up their application systems to build a "diverse" student body is complete and total bullshit. The reason being that some of the most important diversity comes from interacting with people of widely varying economic levels and intelligence levels. The idea that you can have a socially diverse student body, but only made up of people who got 4.0 GPAs and above, is bullshit on its face.

Yeah, I almost felt like flagging this submission. It's taking something that on its own could be interpreted in many ways and giving it a strong political spin.

For the sake of argument, let's imagine a college doing the opposite: admitting students solely on the basis of a standardized test score. You submit your SAT score, and everyone above a certain percentile is admitted. People below the threshold are not. Many of the comments here seem to think this is optimal.

In that scenario, there wouldn't be any complaints from admissions committees at all about them having to put effort into the situation, because they wouldn't be involved at all. So is it being difficult a sign that reality is more complex than suggested by a test score, or that they've lost an objective indicator?

Most of the statistics thrown around in the article could also be turned on their head. For instance, just hypothetically, if getting rid of the test isn't changing the student body, what's the point of the test?

Having an objective number is useless on its own. Even if it's roughly correlated with the outcomes you desire, if it's that roughly correlated with outcomes, and subject to biases, there's no point in having it.

I feel like these tests are kind of like buying a house based on nominal square footage alone. Sure, it's probably correlated with satisfaction and resell value, it's an objective indicator that involves some measurement, and so forth, but no one would buy a house that way. It's subject to all sorts of manipulation and fuzziness, and doesn't tell you anything about the architecture, lot, or anything else. And yet that's kind of how standardized tests are used.

I'm fine with using standardized tests in theory, but they're far too abused and misused. It's not so much the tests I have problems with, as it is how it seems once you introduce them, it seems they can't be interpreted rationally in making any sorts of decisions about human beings. It's like people take something that has a sliver of information value with all sorts of limitations, and then treat it like an infallible signal just because it's easy to use.

Its ease of use could be seen as a problem, not something desirable.

There are 2 problems with this. The first is that CPUs want to do out of order execution and vectorization, so not allowing reordering can come at a significant cost. The second problem is that different LIBMs and cpus will change the result of transcendental functions like exp.

From my experience so far with pandemic WFH that turned into permanent WFH for our company, if the employee was generally good or performed pretty well they are performing even better working remotely. However, if the employee was just average or needed some oversight, productivity is not very good remotely. Fortunately, I have a solid team (at least for now) so I'm seeing the benefits and things are going very well overall. However, a colleague's team's overall productivity is abysmal. Btw, we also don't have long hours. Rarely work over 40.

I suspect if you ask any of the "essential" workers, they would disagree.

The divide that has been created between essential workers and the pyjama class is extreme.

In some cases, pyjama classes were being paid to just stay home and not do anything because their work could not be done remotely or the systems were not in place.

Meanwhile, nurses, grocery store workers, and pharmacist techs were all killing themselves working insane hours for virtually no pay increases, all in the back drop of a "deadly pandemic".

It should be no surprise that the labour shortage is affecting the jobs that "essentials" perform, and meanwhile we have a surplus of pyjama class.
Or we could acknowledge that society functions best when the most qualified people are chosen and decide to only discriminate on merit.

These selection criteria are meant to match students with schools filled with students of the same ability level. Of course there will always be factors in life that make it harder or easier for people to succeed.

Having had exceptionally difficult life circumstances doesn't somehow change the fact that you need to have already mastered Algebra to succeed at MIT for example.

We should focus more on mitigating the extent that difficult circumstances hinders learning not just manipulating selection criteria after it already has.
We are talking about what is happening at this moment, not about a possible future direction. Germany needs power now, this winter.

Batteries can be used as peak buffers, their capacity is measured in hours. So-called "green" hydrogen has not really made it off the drawing boards yet so it remains to be seen whether this can be a real solution. Most natural gas infrastructure - storage as well as transport - is not directly useable for hydrogen but parts of it can be adapted. As of now this is mostly a pipe dream so Germany has to rely on the mentioned sources for their base load: coal, natural gas and nuclear - imported as well as generated locally.

The difference between Tailwind and CoffeeScript to me seems to be more in the underlying language.

JS (and programming in general) is actually quite complex, and you can't hide that complexity under a shiny veneer and hope it goes away.

CSS on the other hand is not complex at all. For that reason, it's a lot more plausible that you can make big strides by simplifying the language down to its core essence.
> because naming stuff is hard

This feels like a weak argument. Yes, naming things are hard - but we name classes, variables, dom elements & everything else every day. There are also really good naming patterns for CSS out there too (BEM, etc.).
> If putin keeps the radiation from spilling into nato territory

That is virtually impossible. You can count on at least some detectable level of radioactive fallout reaching a NATO country. That could be enough to trigger Article 5 IF the political leaders of NATO willed it.

To really simulate this sort of scenario properly, you need political wargaming (e.g. matrix games.) And the best way to do that is with politicians themselves, or at the very least members of their staff, participating in the wargames. This isn't the sort of thing you can simulate properly with computers or college students.

That may just be a reflection of the kinds of games you’ve been playing. Forza Horizon has been doing an incredible job of creating convincingly real locations at high frame rates for a while now, for example[1].

Others have pointed to the Matrix unreal demo that shows off some truly gamechanging techniques for environmental modeling and realism.

two things that sass has that i want to see in plain ol' css:

1. nesting - but this is coming!

2. mixins - not even static mixins are coming =(

static mixins might seem to be limited in utility at first, but it'd alleviate a lot of duplicate css by allowing you to have orthogonal groups of styles. so you could have sets of static mixins for borders/shadows, spacing, layout, fonts, etc. that you could mix and match into both element and class styles as you need.

too much nesting can lead to a rat's nest of css (ha), but shallow nesting (1 level mostly, 2 levels on occasion) adds clarity and structure.
You mention the key part here—it was designed for compilers writing assembly, not people writing assembly.
