Unfortunately, parental income can be a terrible proxy.

High income doesn't necessarily indicate wealth or high class. It usually indicates highly educated, high level working class, like doctors and software engineers.

Families with generational wealth often have very little direct income. All wealth is in assets that they borrow against, which doesn't count as income. Even when they take income or realize capital gains, they often do it erratically, so it can be fairly easy to game a university admission that looks at parental income by avoiding income for the years universities request.
This really is the sweet spot when production is a specific Debian version, set up your dev environment to match that and it's pretty bombproof. Run CI with pip installs against later Python versions to see the shouty deprecations you'll be able to sidestep.

yes I knew someone would say, "that wont solve the problem!" it would certainly make it way better. it is much more difficult to hack someone's account and bypass their two-factor authentication instead of literally uploading any number of randomly named packages at will.

the same argument can be applied to, "when you park on the street in manhattan, close your windows and lock your doors". Well that won't save your car from being compromised. But it will certainly make it way less likely that someone will steal something out of your car.

There was a YC company awhile back doing something like this App.net. Maybe it could work now.. I could see YC funding a set of companies that build on a platform together, Dalton is a big part of YC now. That might be the way to bootstrap something like this. Discord seems to have something kind of going this way. If you think of the IRC and usenet model but I guess modernize it?
Haven't experienced this issue, I'm running Intel macos.
Nope. The IRS publishes effective taxes rates for income quintiles. The effective rate goes up as you go up in income.

It is true the effective rate is lower than the statutory rate for a given bracket, but that's true for all income levels.
I’m getting more and more iffy on Amazon. I love the convenience but the fact that they’re hiding the real merchants and so much fraud goes on is pushing me away. Also raising Prime prices to add more services I don’t want but have to pay for.

I miss the old days when everything I bought from Amazon came from Amazon and was trustworthy and not a fake.

Their terrible worker treatment isn’t endearing in any way either.
> Nothing the Supreme Court says about the consideration of race in college admissions will affect the more basic problem, that too few Americans from poorer families are sufficiently prepared to apply to college.

About sums it up. Though if there are any visible disparities in the populations that produce poor children who are prepared, I expect a loud argument.
Many Americans are made believe that they are temporarily embarassed billionaires, and if they are just a little bit more comfortable than the next black or other minority, they are on the top of the world.
They discuss they would build a 3.5 mile array using unfolding tiles. They seem to appreciate the challenges and are researching how to overcome them. Isn’t this how we turn “cannot” into can ?

In the same vein as others have stated, the airwaves are just getting too blasted crowded. In all but the most rural areas, even the 5GHz band in the United States is starting to get quite noisy, and I find the constant frequency hopping and "ghost in the machine" network behaviors on WiFi to be much more vexing than simply running a Cat 5e cable- even if I'm terminating it myself.

Edit: directly to OP's observation, bandwidth is not so much of a concern to me as are things like wildly-fluctuating bandwidth and sporadic dissociations.
Here's a citation showing the opposite.

You forgot file systems. The main problem to date is that there has not been a single system that can handle all the different kinds of data. We store all the unstructured data in files. Highly structured data goes into a bunch of different relational databases. All the semi-structured data gets distributed into various NoSql stores. Then we need many connectors to tie related data stored within different silos together.

I have been working on a single datastore that can effectively manage all the different kinds of data. So far it can manage hundreds of millions of files better than file systems. It can form relational tables that query faster than other databases (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va5ZqfwQXWI) and it has a schema flexible enough to handle stuff normally stored within Json files. It still needs a lot of work, but it is currently in open beta.
"Fewer remaining earners"? There is no change in earners unless they aren't making any money.
And this is why the term "white privilege" sells so poorly to whites. And why CRT is attacked so vigorously. Everyone likes to think they made it on their own. The guy who inherited a multi-million dollar business thinks he has had no more real advantage than then guy who was raised in an orphanage in Uganda. While I firmly believe that this privilege exists, you just can't legislate based on it, because you'll get no support.
Motivations vary, but in my experience the most active individual NIMBYs care more about quality of life issues than real estate values. Most of them have lived in the same home for years and have no plans to sell. But they don't want the noise, traffic, parking shortages, and loss of privacy that come with developing higher density housing in their neighborhoods. That is not irrational. If politicians and housing developers want people like that to stop objecting then they need a better strategy than just labeling NIMBYs as greedy obstructionists.
Not for long I am afraid. They are announcing hiring freezes, China locks some of their larger factories, and they have nothing new to sell.
Well that's a good point. But then: why is it the privacy policy department who mandated the change?

Lol this is why Trump was elected… it’s what makes the “establishment” of both parties oppose him. It’s why we are constantly reminded by the economist that “republicans and trump are racists”.

Steve Bannon actually explains this quite well in a PBS Frontline interview

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pm5xxlajTW0

It’s infuriating to constantly have the Economist pushing the idea “the country is racist” or “so and so is racist” for many years now. Only to point out what most people know - a poor person in west Virginia is likely to be white, and have more in common with a poor black person from DC than a wealthy white person from DC.

we have more than enough donations to pay for that, and since SQLAlchemy is a "critical project" they'd likely comp us anyway.

Because the risks are different?

Do you have the same attitudes towards helmets whether you're walking on the street or riding a motorcycle? I'm assuming not, because you understand they are different risk profiles.

When risk profiles differ, so do the mitigation strategies. One of the ways spaceflight manages different risk profiles is by implementing a risk-based approach. For example, NASA classifies their software risk based on probability and severity. When risk is high, they leverage more requirements and more oversight as a way of mitigating the risk to an acceptable level.

What you seem to be insinuating is we should be willing to accept more risk. While I agree in principle, the hard part is getting stakeholders (from astronauts to contractors, administrators, politicians, and taxpayers) to agree. They get a say, too.
I see a lot of negative from the Amazon side...but I'm open to hearing some positives!
> He closes by positing that university intellectuals are above the whole mess

That is a very disingenuous if not flat out incorrect summary of what he said.

That may be one group of people who might be outside of “this mess” and in his category X, but I don’t think that university intellectuals are categorically in class X.

For folks who are interested in a more contemporary class summary, I recommend Michael O’Church’s version:

Ask HN: Why not have a heating unit shared by many houses?
Such a unit could be owned and maintained by the city.

Wouldn't this be safer than expecting the owners of a house to maintain one?

Similarly, you could have an air conditioning unit shared by many houses and maintained by the city.
It's because class in America has always been fluid, with people going from poor to rich or middle class, and from rich to poor, based on their life decisions, and seizing opportunities.

Perhaps the current events have strangled these opportunities for enough people so class can now be used to divide the population against itself?
We love to scapegoat the media.

If you could capture the public's attention and make tons of money focusing on class, someone would do it and dominate discourse. Maybe not existing institutions, but certainly there's nothing preventing someone else from taking to the field. Indeed, there is no shortage of media that do focus on class issues, but they are invariably small & marginalized.

Media will literally eat poop in exchange for attention and the wealth and influence that comes with it. Pretending that the reason they're not talking about class is because of some misguided focus of those in the industry is absurd.

It's just... if you don't pretend, then you have to place the blame elsewhere, and nobody wants to.
Almost anything a politician does anymore, they can basically always bypass accountability by claiming the impetus is to help advance some racial or other marginalized agenda.
Google and Facebook are not really in the same businesses as Amazon and Apple.

I think it's interesting, and still kinda sorta valid since when tech companies surpass the value of companies like Ford and Exxon, they make similar hoopla, even though those are in entirely different sectors.

“Important” is incredibly subjective.

Could you explain your position more fully? Perhaps a bit about how society would function without advertising.
Find a way to educate lower-class Americans about class, not just race. Ultimately, that should be more effective than reforming voting... if you can figure out how to do it.
> That Amazon isn't worth more is puzzling.

The simple answer is that Amazon is the least profitable company in the list (even less than Meta in its current state). There are factors that excuse this, hence Amazon is actually valued very high compared to how little money it makes.
Yes, for a lot of classes of products I simply do not buy from Amazon any more. The counterfeiting and inventory co-mingling (such that you can't even filter for trustworthy sellers) has destroyed a lot of Amazon's usefulness.

IMO Amazon's foray into 3P market-making will ultimately be seen as an attempt to grow the product that ends up killing the product.

Even besides the counterfeiting, there's just so much crappy junk. Want lightbulbs? Wade through page after page of crappy no-name brands who all have fake/gamed reviews, so you can't tell the good from the bad. Want a name-brand lightbulb? Well, then we're back to the counterfeiting problem.

Even when I do buy from Amazon there's at least a 50% chance what I buy will be some cheap bullshit with faked reviews that will fall apart in under a month of use. Amazon is worse than the Walmart discount bin.

Amazon has weirdly given me a newfound appreciation for traditional retailers. There is value in the curation - in filtering bad products so that as a customer I can shop with confidence, and that even if I don't do too much research the product I buy will be good enough - or at least authentic and safe.

The complete laissez-faire free-for-all model just results in me Googling for product reviews for the most mundane things I buy. It is a massive time-sink.
My understanding of the phrase "virtue signaling" is that it's a slur: somebody pretending to be better than others.

The intention of "leading by example" was that it's ridiculous to ask poorer countries to make sacrifices that we ourselves are not willing to make.

I can make one up. Kanye is black and wealthy and gets much more negative attention than Jimbob over here who is on disability and sometimes even mows the grass around his trailer.

Otherwise, it seems kind of suspicious. Extremely so.
Racism was literally invented so the working class would fight one another instead of rising up against the elites. Look up Bacon's Rebellion in 1676.
The main rationale is that it is complicated. :-)

Controlling for income doesn't work well, because whites at the same income level tend to have much more wealth than blacks at the same income level. Controlling for wealth, blacks still tend to poorer access to resources (clean water, prenatal care, etc...).

It would be a great achievement if we could simply say that poor blacks were finally as well off as poor whites, but we're still quite a ways away from that.

That said, I don't think the country has the stomach to realistically try to fix that problem any longer.
I think this is a reflection of how financially insecure most individuals in modern society are/feel. I believe that if most people were in a better spot financially, then perhaps this desire to extract money from everything would decline.

these aren't compromised repositories on pypi, these are fully legitimate repos started by bad actors that intentionally use similar sounding names and readmes. a system by which all of the major packages and dependencies are coming in, which to be clear is the whole pile of stuff that people aren't usually looking at, on a set of trusted authors and where someone who is being careful can whitelist specific repos for newer projects they want to use would reduce the problem to almost nothing.

It's not hard to use a "vector" library or even just a small set of macros that ensure memory safety when you are manipulating slices of strings or buffers.

Unfortunately it's very tempting to play fast and loose with raw pointers, with ad hoc validation logic all over the place.

OTOH, maybe SSL maintainers consider punycode parsing performance more important than security.
Well... if the choice is either freedom of speech or political correctness, I guess he has no choice but to let toxic personalities on the platform.

Hi, Sucrase author here.

To be clear, the benchmark in the README does not allow JIT warm-up. The Sucrase numbers would be better if it did. From testing just now (add `warmUp: true` to `benchmarkJest`), Sucrase is a little over 3x faster than swc if you allow warm-up, but it seemed unfair to disregard warm-up for the comparison in the README.

It's certainly fair to debate whether 360k lines of code is a realistic codebase size for the benchmark; the higher-scale the test case, the better Sucrase looks.

> worse it disables esbuild and swc's multi-threading

At some point I'm hoping to update the README benchmark to run all tools in parallel, which should be more convincing despite the added variability: https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase/issues/730 . In an ideal environment, the results are pretty much the same as a per-core benchmark, but I do expect that Node's parallelism overhead and the JIT warm-up cost across many cores would make Sucrase less competitive than the current numbers.
>"Why does it seem easier in high-level languages?" High-level languages have slowly had their bugs stripped out, and give you features that are rarer in low-level languages. You literally aren't writing the same routines in high-level languages because you don't need to. If you had to do all the same things, you'd have the same bugs. And a lot of newbies simply are lucky and don't personally run into the bugs that are already there.

Which bugs precisely are you talking about?

Sane string implementation, so instead of performing some shenanigans with buffers to concat two strings, I can just "a" + "b"?

>If you had to do all the same things, you'd have the same bugs.

Why in lower level languages people cannot write some handy abstractions which will result in better security and dev. experience?
Yes indeed love the sci-fi aspect :)

But these things have to be commercial to work eventually... I wonder what they are seeing as the major competitive advantage. Land, perhaps yeah, but most of the land for solar type systems tends to be out where land is cheapish, but getting that electricity via a cable from a far off location would be something saved.

There's white privilege in Pensiltucky? Elon Musk knows he wouldn't have made it big without family connections, but the white guy from Western Pennsylvania knows that he was up against a whole lot and made it anyway, against all odds.

My family went through reducing our meat intake to a few days, and honestly - it kinda sucked, since it reduced many of our meal options, since they "had" to be vegetarian.

After about twelve months of this and getting sick of it, we settled on meals that usually have meat, but using less of it. For example; Pad Thai usually calls for mostly animal protein + noodles + tofu, so we usually pad it out with lots more vegetables, which is healthier anyway.
Well, I see two ways it might be: the operations are not really safe in an absolute sense or the operations composition does not preserve safety.
Or you could say that an operation can be safe in a context but ops+context does not compose as well as we would like to guarantee the preservation of safety
