No, they're not. In the country I'm living in, *no one* uses phone calls except for rare things like delivery people calling because the box doesn't fit in your apartment's delivery boxes. Absolutely no one under the age of 50 uses voice calling to talk to their friends or family; they all use LINE texting.

I haven't taken a phone call in over a month now (from the Amazon delivery guy). I use dating and texting apps every day. For actual talking to friends/family, I use voice and video chat functions in chat apps.
I haven’t really seen him called a failure unless it’s in the context of habitual over-promising and failing to meet frequently and very publicly stated goals. But, the stuff his companies are doing is hard so it is what it is. Couldn’t hurt to be more realistic from time to time though.
Why pay for a 1gb fiber connection when your WiFi is just going to throttle it?

Many people have given answers to this very good question.

But I'm going to ask another: WHY does the admission process need to take into account the social class of the student?

- Fairness? College admissions at Ivy Leagues are not a fair process. It advantages legacies, donors.

- Diversity? Then why not also account for race or national origin too?

- An attempt to fix the inequities of US society? Why do this at the college level when 90% of the scars of a poor childhood are already set in stone? Why do it with a student class of only 5000? Why not admit 50,000 into Harvard each year then?

Ivy Leagues' admissions standards are designed to optimize one thing only: the prestige of the institution. That's it. That's why it has mostly rich kids but also a few poor ones to make it look like it's an egalitarian place. That's why it admits some black and brown students even if their SATs are not that high - so it can make it look like it's an institution that promotes racial justice.

Society should not look to Harvard and Yale to fix all its racial and economic inequity problems. Parents of Asian kids should not look to Harvard and Yale as the ultimate universal badge of academic merit - it's not. Harvard and Yale are going to look after their own interests - and it's all about prestige.

And yes I went to both an ivy league and state university. I know the game.
It's barely a dog whistle, but the obvious insinuation that sinister Jews are behind all the world's ills.
My bad, sorry about that.
> I'm also curious what's difficult about pin in rust?

I understand the concept. It’s the syntax which trips me up. You don’t mark structs as Pin. You mark them as !Unpin. And then, when is it safe to pin_project fields? Every time I read the documentation I understand it for about an hour. 2 weeks later I need to re-read the docs again to convince myself I’m not subtly messing anything up.

I’ve also gotten myself in hot water writing custom Futures, trying to wade through the barrage of compiler errors at the intersection of lifetimes, Pin and async. It’s a lot harder than it needs to be. The compiler holes around GAT, async closures and async trait methods doesn’t help.
The wild thing with amazon is that it just overwhelmingly appears that they do not care about all of the fake products and fake reviews. I looked for a screen protector and half way into reading reviews see that the seller had taken over a listening for... kettle bells. Or when a fake product I had unintentionally bought set their address to be that of an Amazon warehouse. Surely detecting such blatant lying and fakery shouldn't be difficult.
I've always loved how succinctly LBJ put it:

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
Here's an even more tautological answer. You can't misparse input unless you're parsing input. That's why parsers have trouble with parsing input.
"stuck" ? under Prop19, property tax on a paid-off 3-bedroom home in a wealthy area is less than rent in the ghetto. It has been that way for twenty years.
I have yet to see a horticultural LED that cannot be bought by regular people. The indoor grow market, especially for cannabis, is humongous. If you can buy them in 10,000 piece lots as a business, they will have no problem offloading them to lower level consumers for a decent markup. Ive made a lot of money myself sticking bare LEDs to chunks of extruded aluminum heatsink and reselling them to growers, and even that makes me feel like im ripping them off because it is so dead simple to do yourself.
I love the “mental cabinet of treasures”.

What usually happens is that consultants are selling time, not outcomes. So it is in their interest to waste time and minimize risk to themselves.

I’ve had experiences like yours a few times, most recently during the nadir of COVID. It felt great.
If you have time, I would really love to know examples of this. This is very interesting.
We're talking about radar and ultrasonic sensors here, not accelerometers. We're also talking about feeding them to a deep neural network. Not the same thing. Sensor fusion is not being done with a Kalman filter in this case.
I second this, the book depository has remained consistently excellent despite Amazons ownership, providing slow but efficient worldwide delivery.
Using zip code could at least have a really interesting incentive towards de-segregating residential neighborhoods.

Highly motivated parents would have a reason to move into neighborhoods that they previously would not have lived in.

There's also a fraud incentive since it's not super difficult to pretend to live in a different zip code. Plenty of politicians do it.
PRC still huge market for many multinationals, access is there for those who play ball. If anything PRC willing to reserve market share for foreign companies to maintain relations, i.e. no reason Nokia/Ericsson should have 5g contracts in PRC but they do.

As for PRC talent, no bamboo ceiling and increasing mccarthyism targetting PRC individuals big perk. Most people are happy being mere millionaires than billionaires. And even billionaires fine if you don't go full retard like Ma and try to challenge state regulators. Best of PRC minds are staying in PRC, this isn't the 80s-00s when PRC was sending their best as state initiave to be educated abroad, most of the students going to west now are those with some English proficieny but can't hack it in gaokao. There's a reason why more and more sea turtles are returning to PRC for better prospects. Or why US has to literally sanction Chinese Americans from working in PRC semi.

Plus PRC high skill demographic divident, the kind that drives innovation + high tech, high value development is just starting. The greatest pool of high end talent in human history is being churned out as we speak despite broader demographic decline that only makes PRC more resource independant. PRC won't peak for another 20 years, by then they will likely have sufficiently caught up in most advanced sectors to start eating the west's lunch. The convergence will be PRC closing gap which will erode western dominance by denying PRC market and wrestling shares from emerging economies fine with cheap PRC exports at the expense of west.

How have you communicated your cap table and investment activities to the lead? Does the lead want the whole round? Did the higher valuation come from the lead or you? Provided you aren’t trying to shift their stake or acted as n bad faith, a reasonable VC should be fine with adding valuable people to help the company.

If its desktop, there's no reason not too unless you can't reasonably get your cable to the PC. If its laptop... eh.

I always have more issues with WiFi than with Ethernet, so I go Ethernet when possible.
Whenever I hear these totalizing opinions I do some searching. The NYT has published an imperial ton of articles on class in the last several years. About the effects on income inequality, on how wealth inequality is now at its highest since WWII, a breakdown of guaranteed income programs by city, a synopsis of a study on poverty reduction, a synopsis of De Blasio's mixed successes and failures on addressing New York income equality, how the effects of New York heat weaves are worse for poorer people...

I think the 'upper class' has a lot of influence, but it clearly isn't stopping the NYT from giving enough information to readers to build some pretty strong opinions on the effects of class in the United States. Journalists are clearly spilling a ton of ink over it.

I think the blame must be spread more broadly. There is a tremendous anti-socialist, anti-labor force in American discourse, and parts of the media are helping to drive it, but other parts are resisting it. And regardless of its provenance, it is quite entrenched in the day to day, non-journalist culture.
The top 10% of the good high schools don't go to University of Texas
I would recommend joining with some recruiters from Durlston Partners. They are fairly upfront about the compensation on offer and for C++ in London it is significantly better than the numbers I've seen in this HN thread. For example, I've seen roles with base salaries of £250k and generally large (or even uncapped) bonuses on top of this...

For example: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rahnpreet-sandhu-2b84a515a_co...
That's a pretty straightforward disadvantage. The only solution is to make public schools accept people of color. There's no other way around that. If you don't, they won't.

What we're dealing with now is the legacy of those decisions. They made sense in that context but the context has changed.
That sounds more like issues with IPD adjustment rather than resolution issues. I feel that resolution is already good enough for gaming especially if you pair the Quest 2 with a VR ready PC. The resolution only isn't good enough for work. Reading a lot of text on a Quest 2 is nausea inducing. Since the Quest Pro's resolution isn't much better than Quest 2, I don't have high hopes for it when work involves a lot of reading and writing, but Quest 2 is already great for design collaboration.
Ah, I guess I was responding to this paragraph of your message

> But more to the point, people claim it's somehow harder in C++ to learn programming so either I'm super smart or they're wrong.

TBH I consider the type systems of most imperative languages to be extremely similar. The only difference worth discussing is enumerators which can hold data. C++ doesn't have these, not sure if C# has them now. Rust has them.

I'll create a new comment under yours for a more specific discussion.
I understand why a phrase like that can be emotionally activating, but please don't perpetuate flamewars on HN. You made your point already. Escalating ("your doctors sucked") is unhelpful.

But that time if they try they'll fail. Almost all avenues to municipal NIMBYism have been closed:

Strict SFH zoning? It can often be ignored now and build duplexes and four-plexes by right (no CEQA necessary!)

Amply sized commercial lots but no residential multifamily zoning? Those can be residential now. No CEQA necessary in some cases. I believe it's <400 units.

Parking requirements? Gone. In fact a city cannot even consider parking in deciding to issue a permit or not.

Procedural tactics? New laws have been passed capping the amount of required public comment meetings to 3, along with various other things like maximum review windows and mandatory ministerial approvals.

Bad zoning? Cities for which CA decertifies their zoning codes (housing elements) can be considered to _have no zoning_ until they present a housing element the state is satisfied with. Such cities include Santa Monica (recently fixed, but not before 4000+ units qualified), Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Davis, soon to be Palo Alto and San Francisco.

The only thing that's left, really, is CEQA reform. California is _so close_ to realizing a building boom. You have the Coastal Commission, too, but that only affects properties directly within the vicinity of the beach, and as a state agency is not something a city itself can really influence.
Not saying they create a data processing overload. I'm saying they're fed to a deep learning architecture that must then try to fuse disparate sets of data into a coherent picture. The neural network becomes simpler when you remove that function and just focus on visual processing.
> Realistically, however, it is rare to move more than one or two income brackets from where your parents were when they were your age.

You state that like it's a bad thing. If you can bump a bracket or two per generation, 2 generations can take you from near-penniless to upper-middle class.
Because feels before reals is how so many people live their life these days. Reality doesn’t let them blame the people they want to blame, or reality doesn’t assuage the fears they fear, or reality doesn’t let them feel smarter than everyone else, so they fall back to empty platitudes and fantasies to protect themselves from reality.
was just coming here to mention that. I don't understand why people don't bother to google before naming new projects, ESPECIALLY when they're naming something in the same general space.
How much does it cost to run?
> there was quite a bit of backlash

Not from Washington Post though.
Ivy’s core issue is they want to use racially biased metrics for admissions like “did your parents go here?” which could be illegal. But they don’t want to admit that those metrics could possibly be illegal when defending their racial metrics to correct for that issue.

Assuming they lose the case things will get interesting.
At this point, zero. The framework I built automatically rejects certain patterns that are not conducive to an interesting conversation. The only thing I still do manually, and I think I will automate, is to decide when to stop a generated segment.

I’ve listened to a lot of Watts, which isn’t to say I understand it but rather I can recall it. your p1 concerns making progress, p2 on being serious. Watts talks on progress being an illusion, that the deer hunter doesn’t see the mountains. He also talks the same in being serious, rather than sincere, in that it’s like being an oak that cannot away in the wind, constantly concerned with holding yourself together lest you might accidentally fall through the ground.

By trying for America while worrying about India, would be like being hung up on trying not to be hung up. Or competing about who has attainted the most enlightenment, who sat for longest or the most uncomfortably. ~it cannot be grasped by thinking, it cannot be perceived by not thinking. ~The goose flying over the lake doesn’t mean to cast a reflection, and the lake has no mind to retain it. But still, it happens.
Yes and it is common too. E.g. the vendor of my SmartTV now has a probe in my home.
Isn't it though? I think that's the point: a well-off or even rich black kid from two black lawyers or doctors or whatnot is being favoured over a poor white kid from a (former) coal mining community in West-Virginia. The number of university openings, job openings, grants, etc. are all finite in number, so there is some amount of "competition" involved.

And you can talk about statistics and averages and whatnot all day, but once you start applying averages to individuals – which is essentially what "positive discrimination" or "affirmative action" amounts to – you're always going to be wrong in a very substantial number of cases.
This doesn't prove anything, you're just telling me the same story in a different way with a dollop of "if you're not rich it's because you're lazy".

> There is no system or mechanism in America that prevents a poor child from growing up into one of the nation's wealthiest or most powerful.

How is that different from most other western countries?
On this particular issue

Name a "progressive" state that comes even close.
Apple is a style brand as much as a functional one, people will buy the new model just to have the new model.
I remembered hearing an NPR report about that. There was also something about success rates being higher because they were in the top 10% of the high school, rather than top 10% overall. Students were also given more mentoring, and some of them catch up.
These sorts of quotas generally do nothing but paper over the fundamental problems and truths that affect various groups. It's a way of concealing failures of education and culture. By making admissions blind to anything but merit (we can talk about how to define merit, of course), it forces people earlier in the chain of causes to confront failure close to home. By keeping responsible parties in the hot seat, you stand a better chance of fixing bad schools and bad cultural norms and accepting truths that those lacking in humility have a hard time swallowing. (Politicians get elected by flattering their base, of course...)
If you want to see an example of cellphone latency, watch your local news. When they send a reporter to cover a remote story these days, they nearly always use a cellphone as a camera (cheap, ubiquitous, good image quality, and they don't need to pay a separate camera operator).

When the anchor in the studio says "And now over to Lester, who is reporting from the scene" - there's a 1-2 second delay before we hear and see Lester respond.
That doesn't sound like it, I've had that since I have memories and I didn't do any psychedelics as a baby and my parents nor my grandparents never touched any of the stuff. Visual artifacts like that are normal for some parts of the population.

I think you need to worry if you're getting into depersonalization-derealization, otherwise you might just have some minor visual artifacts.
Zip code can absolutely be a proxy for race.

There’s a reason that banks have compliance departments that have to review any statistical models inputs and assumptions for implicit violations of the Fair Lending / Fair Housing acts.
I've seen a marked decline in the speed and usefulness of google maps over the last 10 years or so. I'm not sure whether they are cramming too many features into it, so the UI becomes too cumbersome from it's original use case, or that they are having issues with data quality, but I find needing to retype different searches more often, and just interacting with the UI more to get the same information (which in my case is almost always "find the nearest X" and then "plan a route from where I am to X".)
Humans may find, however, that without practice solving the trivial problems they are ill-prepared for the difficult ones.
Oh I don't think Daniel was asking why we're doing i18n. My remark was not at him, at all. I was just pre-empting a possible made up objection. He's in fact correct to wonder why punycode decoding ended up in OpenSSL, as the rest of that section explores. The point being that OpenSSL could do its job and still support i18n domains and emails without having to ever decode punycode if only the spec had made different tradeoffs.
Candy track sounds better.

I do not like what psychedelics did to my generation. I was a rave kid in the 1990s and I just don't like how most of us did in our 40s and 50s.

Be careful out there. I think the upsides are balanced by a general under-performing malaise which gets worse over the decades.

5 years of bloom, but it's burning adaptation capacity and resilience which you'll need later.

Yeah, by the data it's not exceptional in the west, it's just the loudest.
I'm assuming they didn't mean "grep" in a literal sense, rather that it is easier to find keywords like "reinterpret_cast" when scanning your eyes through code, whereas with C-style casts you'd have a much harder time.
The practice of routinely scheduling a c-section is basically a confession that birth medicine doesn't serve the patient. Any reasonable medical system would allow natural birth to progress until medical intervention became necessary.
Could you tell me some differences that you see as significant between the C++ and C# type system?

I can think of a few but they seem like compiler sugar only. For instance C# classes are treated as a &ClassName or std::shared<ClassName> (handled by reference transparently to the programmer).

Otherwise I think that C, C++, C# have very very similar type systems. They don't have alternatives to dynamic dispatch (virtual / override) like enums with value (a Rust feature). They don't have ways to add functionality to existing 3rd party classes. C# Interfaces are basically simple C++ classes with every function marked virtual.

C# feels far more dynamic with reflection and whatnot but you say type system, which is a different thing. LINQ again stacks well with C# and makes it more expressive, but doesn't change the type system.

I'd argue that '99 C++ is very similar to C in the type system, with a little sugar around classes having an implied *this and vtable mangement around virtual. Otherwise you can impl something like C++ classes using C structs.

Are you talking about C++ template programming and meta-programming? Because I personally view that as an advanced preprocessor / precompiler step that outputs large amounts of simpler C++ code without templates and doesn't change the "type system" a great deal.

Perhaps you are referring to some very modern C++ features I haven't used yet? Most likely they only brought C++ back in line with a subset of Rust / C# features.
is it legal for you to collect rain water? apparently it's not legal in a lot of places.
There's arguably a third: Message-Id. It's meant to be globally unique and comes from the message itself. I don't know how workable it is for email synchronization with IMAP; IMAP servers will provide them (they're just another header) but I'm not sure the client commands exist for a message-id approach to be as efficient or ergonomic.
Norway tested self propelled artillery in deep snow and the Korean solution won, so they bought that. Other countries followed.

Anyway, many of these products have components from all over the world and can also be customized like use a different engine or gun barrel. Furthermore, one can cross-use them like fire rounds made elsewhere.

The key is to design for common standards like gun calibre or missile size so allies and partners can share. May the best ones win.
