> if you find it unfair that the pro-male affirmative action for female-dominated jobs only provides low-paid, low-status jobs - then feminists are very much in agreement with you about the unfairness of the situation :)

This is an interesting point, how much of the salary is determined by presumably impartial market forces, and how much of it is just status and social signalling.

We know status and social signalling play a significant role, otherwise behavioural economics and marketing wouldn't exist.

We also know that the diffrence between salaries of rank and file staff and C-suit executives have increased 15x in the past 20 years, without any corresponding increase in productivity

There is good reason to believe that if you could magically shove high-status men into nursing; nursing salaries would go up. But it's hard to see how it would happen unless we'd have equivalent of the draft for low status jobs.
I looked at the landing page, but don't really understand when I would use this. Could you give a few examples of why this is useful?
A great example too -- initial page/content load for text/docs, vs continuous streaming which could be workable with arbitrary latency compensation as long as you do really have sufficient bandwidth. The start time might suck, but once you're going, you're going.

I had to double take when I saw illegal fishing, I thought you meant the digital kind and my mind went to ddos/similar :P
Why Elon Musk Must Resurrect Vine
Keep in mind this is only true for requests that don't require a preflight check.

This also means if you rely on CORS to prevent XSRF attacks (which is maybe not the best idea), you must be ensuring that any request that came in would have been preflighted (for example, reject requests unless they have a special header)
Lol. And then it’ll turn out like his software in his cars. Sloppy and buggy.
You might mean if you turn "on" HTTPS-only mode?

The silly trick blip uses involves pinging non-encrypted HTTP web servers, which is not allowed from an encrypted web page. So you really have to load blip from a non-encrypted server.

This code is from 10 years ago. Most likely we could find some way to work with HTTPS nowadays, but alas, I don't have time to maintain it.
They already have a lot of scrutiny on used catalytic converters. It sounds like this ring might have been smelting the precious scrap.
Thanks for providing more context. However, the original claim I was reacting to was that "half the population ... [are] beneficiaries of affirmative action", i.e. that all men in college are beneficiaries of AA. I agree there are exceptions, but I stand by my claim that very few college-attending men benefit from AA for males.
Everything in GCP is built atop the Google Auth system and tied to a GSuite domain. It’s Org->Folder->Project hierarchy is very similar to AWS Orgs. However, it’s far easier from there. IAM is tied to your gsuite email, and service accounts are also email addresses. One never needs to login with different creds to access another project. You just use your Google login or activate a service account.
Projects are a really flexible abstraction. My company has one for every stage for every team plus specialized projects for net/VPC, GCR, logs, etc, hundreds in total. We’re about halfway through the F500 list. Projects are a nice abstraction and getting the setup OP described is a lot more idiomatic to GCP.
I prefer it. I find that ethernet is much better than smoke signals for reaching the other side of the world.

Seriously though, sometimes it's difficult to use a network cable. You could look at Ethernet-over-power-line adapters. I use all of the following in our house: ethernet cables, wifi, and ethernet-over-powerline. I have even used E-over-P to carry an ethernet 'cable' to a far-flung wireless access point in our last house.

You could get perhaps something like this: https://www.techreviewer.com/tech-answers/powerline-adapters...

It's not clear to me that either China will have abandoned lockdowns nor that the Ukraine war will be over in a year. Like, maybe they will! But it seems plausible that they won't.

I agree that neither are likely to last a decade or anything. But I'm not sure what anything we're doing right now is predicated on the idea that they will last a decade.
They are open about not being interested in working with or federating with far-right groups, you don't have to make a bet.
It’s ridiculous. Names matter. This is almost as bad as Soylent, or Coq.
It’s even worse if you don’t size the burner to the pan. My wife always uses the largest burner with an 8 inch pan, probably 70% of the heat goes around and over it. Really made me want to switch to induction but I noticed the same thing that most induction cooktops have stupid, unreliable touch controls.
Move your comp letters, redacted promo packets, redacted impact docs, promo letters, and pay stubs (on Workday) to your personal laptop. It’s imperative you have access to your key employment documents.

In many cases these systems only have SSO login. So how do you get that data onto your laptop when as mentioned earlier in the article you could be fired for cause when sending data is detected.

Well, Twitter's no longer public so they won't benefit from any long term stock price appreciation. I wonder if there's any other bonus structure in place, or if Elon plans to cut everything to the bone.
You're misquoting yourself.
Often the other way around is better. Example: Let AI give text classification a go then let a human perfect and check the result. Let AI
end your email but check you are happy with how it is physically phrased. Etc.

Human first scenarios will be more rare. And probably where the
human has to do it by law. Made up example: border control checking passport photos match face. Human checks and if they click OK then AI double checks.
>We also know that the diffrence between salaries of rank and file staff and C-suit executives have increased 15x in the past 20 years, without any corresponding increase in productivity

Seems like evidence against the claim that status plays a significant role in setting salaries, unless their status has also increased massively in that time.
So the blog mentions that in certain cases you have to decode the punycode from one field to compare it to the value in another field.

Would it have been safer to encode the data in the other field to punycode and compare the encoded values?

That way a hacker can’t mess with your decoder (where bugs like to lie). But at the other end you risk that your encoder has an issue. I do t know how to judge if those are equal risks or not.

Thoughts?
What I find uncanny about this is how closely this resembles random philosophical/artistic discussions one can find on YouTube - or even what I encountered in college dorm rooms.

It's in fact the illogic of the conversation that makes it more realistic. The reality is that in many deep conversations, people talk about a shared topic, and sometimes even make a coherent point, but also tend to frequently talk past one another and fumble with the thoughts they are trying to convey.

Even as as we listen, we don't focus on each word with the same degree of emphasis, but rather highlight those parts that are most salient to us while thinking of our own response.
I remember a scandal at Guatanamo Bay - some of the translators working for the defense attorneys had previously been translators for the CIA where they interrogated the very terrorists they now were defending.

The terrorists knew this. The translators knew this. But the defense attorneys weren’t allowed to know.

The terrorists tried to inform their attorneys, but the attorneys weren’t “allowed to know” the identities of the original interrogators identities.

So the clients were refused to cooperate, which made attorneys resign, etc.
D has scopeguards similar to defer.
Haven't there been major scandals in the appraisal and verification, as well as art still being stolen and successfully sold in black markets?

I'm hoping a law helps, but I won't hold my breath.
For some reason the name apenwarr reminds me of old hacker zines. I have Apenwarr near Attrition.org and Ankit Fadia from around late 90's. Is this someone else with the same name?
Yup. I think the alternatives at the time were things like Hotmail offering a whopping 4MB.
Thank you! We're incredibly fortunate, and did everything fully permitted and whatnot to try and avoid all those wrinkles. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
> This isn't a movie I don't think anyone is seething or really cares.

If you think people who assume minorities are diversity hires only exist in movies I'm not sure if you're naïve, clueless, or both.

> They may look at you and wonder where you rank, so it forces you to prove yourself

I mean you want to tell yourself no one cares, but you also want to say that removing AA forces me to prove myself? (actually that's just a really vaguely written sentence, removing AA? or being black? what is "it"?)

Why do white people get so uncomfortable at the thought that other whites can be racist? I didn't say you think of me as a diversity hire, I didn't say any majority of white people think of me as one either, yet you immediately feel the need to start throwing yourself in front of the bullet with statements like "this isn't a movie".

Is this some sort of cognitive dissonance from the people who have these thoughts deep down or something?
I'm not really bothered by a handful of elite universities which are only attended by wealthy and connected people.

Why is this a problem? Other schools exist which are accessible to people without wealth and connections.

The colleges can let in whoever they want or don't want. We don't need all of them to be an accurate representation of society at large. Plenty of other institutions in society are also not representative - churches, companies, sports teams - and that's just fine.

People regularly get treated differently due to their race. Effects happen when applying to jobs and also interactions during traffic stops. From Canadian research for the first [1]:

"Job applicants with English-sounding names have a greater chance of getting interviews than those with Chinese, Pakistani or Indian names, a new study by University of British Columbia researchers suggests. The study found Canadians and landed immigrants with names such as "Jill Wilson" or "John Martin" are 40 per cent more likely to be offered an interview than someone with a name like "Sana Khan" or "Lei Li," given an identical resumé. Applicants with mixed names like "Vivian Zhang" had a 20 per cent better chance to land an interview than job-seekers with non-English names, but still less than the English-only names."

For US research for the second [2]: "Blacks were 63 percent more likely to be stopped even though, as a whole, they drive 16 percent less. Taking into account less time on the road, blacks were about 95 percent more likely to be stopped. Blacks were 115 percent more likely than whites to be searched in a traffic stop (5.05 percent for blacks, 2.35 percent for whites). Contraband was more likely to be found in searches of white drivers."

On HN discussions on racial issues, there is often at least one comment that asserts that people get equal treatment due to race, and any contrary reports are fabricated. My only request is for people to try to practice humility, and at least consider the idea that one's personal experience of life may not be shared by everyone else's (for the rationalist crowd, at least consider that statistical studies should have more weight than beliefs formed from one's personal experience, where n=1).

No. Two houses connected to each other can already save money and energy by means of sharing one larger/better installation instead of two "small" ones.
But the stats seem to show that it's substantially less common in the US than in a bunch of other developed countries, including countries that literally still have monarchs. A "Global Social Mobility Index" doesn't even put the US in the top 20. It looks like if you consider fathers in the bottom income quintile in Sweden and the US, the Swedish father's son is roughly 75% more likely to make it to the top quintile than the American, and the American's son is 68% more likely to remain n the bottom quntile than the Swede. That's a pretty big difference.

If we value class mobility enough to talk about the "_American_ dream" maybe the US should actively work on improving that.

For enterprises it seems this is already baked-in, ie. when you're a Google Workspace (previously GSuite) user, your project selector has an inherent hierarchy stemming from the domain, ie. example.com -> project1, project2, etc. and, in my limited experience, switching between accounts on the command line is pretty good. But this article still makes a good point about keeping different environments in different siloed projects.
This is just as much of an issue with real teachers.
> But my current hypothesis is that many (most) Americans actually believe it.

I certainly believe that there is no rigid social class in America and it's definitely possible to move between income brackets with relatively little social stigma. In the UK for example no matter how much money a working class person makes they will never become upper class. Never be welcomed into the top social circles etc., they didn't go to the right schools (pre-college) or dont have the right accent...

I'm not as blind to believe that parental wealth doesn't matter hugely. I also wonder if it might be more difficult to move income brackets in the USA due to the extremely high cost of education.
> Early to sleep, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise

Early to sleep, early to rise, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes.

See how easy that is?
No, distinguishing between the 30%, 55% and 70% is not really relevant. It's mostly about distinguishing the top 5-10% from the rest of the applicant pool. As per the article:

> A study published in 2017 found that most of Harvard’s undergraduates hailed from families in the top 10% of the income distribution. Princeton had more students from the top 1% than the bottom 60%.

It is not nearly so simple for someone in the top 1% to try and pretend to be part of the bottom 60%. Their home address alone would usually be enough to mark them as upper income. Work history is not so easy to hide or fabricate. The government has employment records, and people need to disclose their work history to get future employment.

Separating the 30%, 55%, and 70% isn't really relevant. All of them are lower-class in the context of university admissions. Furthermore, these people wouldn't have the means to hide their assets, and they wouldn't even have that much assets to hide. The median net worth in 2019 was just over $120k [1]. For these people, you mostly just look at income.

However, the preflight check is sufficient to check latency :)

"Preflight check" is such a wrong analogy, since with CORS you fly all the way to the destination to check if you're allowed to fly to the destination.

"All politics is local" begins and ends with property values. Everything else is fluff. Crime rate, racism/multiculturalism, etc. The root of it all is property values.
>No emissions,

Growing up, we used to take the car for a run up/down the highway for a bit to "burn things off" before getting an inspection. There were also places you could go "outside of town" that did not do emissions testings. That was 30 years ago though. I thought all inspections required emissions testing now. Is it still not enforced outside of town? Of course, finding the guy to pay off is always going to be available for skirting the reqs.
In a post-Spectre and post-rowhammer world, I have my doubts that any sub-process security boundary will prove durable in the long run.
IMO, this is by design and why politicians and media types play to race instead of class. Because if middle/lower class Hispanic, Black and White people figure out they have a lot more in common with each other than their rich counterparts, it would not be good for the current status quo.
Which is a statement that doesn't gainsay what you commented on in any way. People leaving the labor market is not measured by the unemployment rate, it is measured by the labor participation rate.
One of the most pernicious consequences of this fixation on race is the definition of a person by an arbitrary social construct. Although they all check the same box, they have very different experiences and cultural backgrounds:

* Black descendents of slaves vs African immigrants [1]

* Chinese Americans vs Hmong Americans (a higher poverty rate than Black Americans! [2])

* A Korean who grew up in Koreatown LA vs one who grew up in Utah

* A Boston Brahmin vs an impoverished White Virginian whose family members were targeted by eugenic boards

That said, Affirmative Action can reasonably make those from marginalized groups feel more welcome. In elementary school for example, I felt very out place among the largely affluent members of my accelerated math class. By contrast, I related much more to the mischievous truants who would later go on to be low-level criminals.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

For all my life I've been afflicted in such a way, judged as being lazy and stuff. I blamed myself a lot. I tried a lot of stuff to "hack" myself into a proper schedule, no-screen, circadian lighting, substance abuse, healthy lifestyle, all sorts of breakfast, intermittent fasting, doing a shit ton of sports to drive myself to exhaustion, nothing worked.

I just can't sleep before ~2AM.

If I ever do it's only when I am severely sleep deprived, and then only get very agitated sleep, wake up at most a couple of hours later and will be mostly sleepless for the remainder of the night.

With age I started to challenge the idea that everyone must operate in the same exact way and maybe there's nothing wrong with me.

Around that time I started to measure the shit out of my sleep using various devices, trying to find root causes, then the baseline of my core circadian rhythm. Over 5 years of accumulated data just point in a single very obvious direction: my body wants to sleep about 7h45 min avg, between 01:45 and 3:00, and get up around 10:00-10:30, and coercing myself out of that for any extended period of time results in sleep deprivation as I then only get at most half of restorative sleep. Of course I can wake up early for a flight or something, but that's just not supposed to happen everyday.

So what's the hack next? Bathing in 6000K artificial bright light at 4AM and closing blinds + pulling curtains at 4PM so that my schedule ends up aligning with what "normal" people do? Sorry but no I'm not going to do that.
There has been a focus on race from the very beginning of the country. The entire point is to prevent class solidarity. The owner class has it, the working class does not and that's by design.

The problem is that those aren't the reasons for the inflation. The increase in the money supply is. But crafty politicians have blamed everything else in order to try stay in power.

The measures they're taking, increasing interest rates for a prolonged period of time, are to correct the inflation caused by the expansion in the money supply. They just can't admit it.
