I'm thinking the exact same thing. It also makes me wonder why professors still have mandatory homework when they know students will cheat. Why not give optional homework, and allow students to have their work reviewed by the professor or TA if the student wants. But if the student doesn't want to do it then, they can skip it and waste their money. Then, have mandatory in class tests that cover the material.

I feel like this would cut down the BS professors have to wade through, allow students that want to learn the opportunity to get valuable feedback, prune the students who don't want to try by failing them when tests come around, and hopefully lead to a better overall outcome for everyone actually invested in the education.

What's the use case here, buy Apple's M1 hardware and reinstall it with Linux? Apple's hardware is relatively expensive and part of that price might be from its MacOS, I will just buy a PC instead, better yet, a PC with no OS(or Linux installed).

I do need get a Mac Mini to test flutter apps there, not happy with its default small DDR size(8GB) and pricey upgrades, and, of course it's not upgrade-able either, disappointed.

I have worked in the Seattle tech scene since 1997 and sex and caste discrimination is rampant in the Indian tech community. I only know this 2nd and third hand as I am the stereotypical cis male white guy.

The biggest one to me is the sex discrimination across dev and qa, with a women making up the vast majority of qa even though they graduated with the same degrees as the men from the same Indian universities.

Even Indian men that I respected on multiple levels, when they get on an interview with a women they are overly harsh in ways they were not with men. So much so that I stopped interviewing all together. I reported to HR and they of course didn't know how to handle it. It really makes me sad.

I try to talk to my Indian colleagues about this and they stay extremely tight lipped about this for a multitude of reasons. I applaud this action. This shit has to stop, leave it in India, America is better than this.

Discrimination is fractal. All interview should be truly double-blind.

Sure, I absolutely agree, Comcast deserves to be named and shamed here. But “not worth it” to me doesn’t mean I’m making a judgment against IPv6 as a protocol suite, just that, in practice Comcast’s shitbaggery makes the whole effort hard to justify.

They can give you a static IPv6 prefix, too. But you have to pay extra for a static IPv4 address to get it (which makes what kind of sense?) and you must rent their equipment (ie their router, not just a modem) to get it. So that’s easily $30-$40 more a month (equipment rental plus static IP charge) they’re holding your network hostage for. Pay up or get re-prefixed every week.

It really makes me want to puke that they’re literally incentivized to fuck up my network to try and make the extra upcharge seem worth it. There’s no reason whatsoever they couldn’t just give me the same prefix forever. There’s no shortage of IPv6 space. If I had literally any other choice in ISP I’d drop them in a heartbeat. They should all be thrown in jail.

Somewhere out there there’s a Comcast engineer whose management told them to intentionally configure their DHCP6-PD server to forget (and likely intentionally shuffle) delegations, to pressure customers into ponying up for a static IP. Maybe you’re reading this post some time in the future. I hate you and I wonder how you sleep at night.
While I agree with you in this case we do have to acknowledge that such a statement can only be made from a position of moral superiority. That’s an uncomfortable position to take in the general case.
There's good junk food and bad junk food; whatever junk food Costco carries is presumably good junk food.

The "junk" in junk food isn't talking about the quality (good/bad) thereof.
What I am saying is precisely that there needs to be nuance to the discussion rather than a dogmatic appeal to some archaic and Edenic past. The OP in my estimation has a very anti-human set of values. I’m specifically say that we need to have thoughtful conversations about what we preserve and what we change.
I live in SF, and I've had co-workers here open "brag" about being able to tell whether someone is a brahmin or a kshatriya (sp?).

I had one co-worker who would brag that he isn't discriminative to anyone, except other Indians. We (non-Indians) would kind of have a response of "ah ha ha ha yea... you could do that we can't".

Because of course as team members who aren't minorities we can't be found to do any of that stuff, but there's plenty of minorities who have taken over in discriminating against others based on their own cultural criteria and seem to get a pass.
For a shaggy-dog-story from the previous century, check out The Silver Eggheads, by Fritz Leiber.
So your solution to caste-based discrimination is to replace it with racism, which would harm a far larger number of people? It's repulsive to think I'd ever work with you or someone like you.

> In the first year after achieving VL undetectability...

I'm gathering from your comments that you don't have a clinical background in HIV research (because if you did, you would not be posting this as a reply).

Not only does your link not prove what you think it does, but it actually says the exact opposite: once a patient has durably achieved clinical undetectability under HAART, they do remain undetectable, even when using older generations of drugs that are no longer first-line treatments. It even states that in the conclusion: " Patients on first-line HAART who maintain consistent VL undetectability for 1 year have a low risk of subsequent virological failure."

To spell it out: the mistake you're making is that you're looking at a paper that studies treatment-naive patients and whether or not they durably achieve undetectability, whereas what we're talking about is patients who have already durably achieved undetectability.

So the paper you linked isn't particularly relevant to our conversation, because it's studying a completely unrelated endpoint, but by coincidence, it does actually corroborate the point I was making.

Gotta read this post. It’s a quick one and explains how India’s caste system is being used at the workplace by fellow Indians to remind the that they are still ‘untouchables’ and do so in a matter that materially impacts employment.
Legislative action moved women from holding 13.97% of professional roles in the United States in 1966 to holding 50.56% of professional roles in 1996. Even rarely- and poorly-enforced laws can, over a period of just 30 years, dramatically shift the corporate landscape.
This is true. I think again, open source is an extremely important concept here. People need access to be able to stay at or ahead of the curve when it comes to being able to access technology that can help avoid poverty.

Also I kind of agree that in the short term this will suck for artists and illustrators but on the other hand, we recently went on a day trip with some friends and paid an artist to sketch us while we sit together and drink coffee, it was a great experience and I could’ve just used the “sketch” filter on my phone but there would be no “experience” or individuality. No memory that made it special.

Don't say you were laid off, say you left the job to start a new web site, but it's not working out financially. And obviously have a small website ready with a reasonable sounding business idea.

It is totally reasonable for counting being laid off as a red flag, it puts a ceiling on your performance - if you were really that productive, they would have kept you.
I used to get the best ideas when I decided to do something completely different in the middle of a problem, e.g. walk/bike to a forest etc., allowed by WFH. Suddenly something clicked and I figured out the solution. However, most companies hate this and rather force me to struggle for a week on some tough problem instead of utilizing this shortcut. With the cultural demise of FAANG and their move towards a sweatshop-like handling of swengs I don't think there will be any top-end company that would accept this approach.
Do you want a startup to give you some special privilege above everyone else trying to get in the country? What makes you think the people laid off the tech sector are the main group of people waiting for visas or even the main concern of the immigration office? If anything you were the most privileged and had an awesome opportunity.
Steak and kidney pudding? Stargazey pie? Beef Wellington?
So when do you think is a good time to address is? For the people suffering from caste discrimination, what would you tell them? "Sorry, we couldn't legally protect you because we can only do one thing at a time, and there's a lot of traffic right now."
How do you believe this detracts from other more worthy causes?

The rest of your comment is fine but you can say it without throwing an entire country under the bus.

What's the current state of privacy in Teams? Specifically calls and meetings.

Obviously operating under the assumption that everything you say whilst on company-managed infra is potentially or even likely subject to recording is sound practice, but I do have curiosities. Microsoft is heavily invested in both consumer spaces and cloud, so they walk an interesting line with respect to user privacy in the workplace and guarantees thereof.

My read is that compliance recording (as opposed to normal recording) still requires mandatory user notification.[0][1] That's good. The lawful intercept functionality of course doesn't.

I've heard third-party integrations can initiate recording, albeit with requisite notifications still in place. Is this accurate, or are there scumbag third-party compliance solutions that somehow manage to bypass things?

Based on other comments here, the Linux client appears to be the most privacy-focused insofar that it's too broken to function. :-)

More likely Teams was written quickly as a response to Slack and some poor decisions were made along the way.

Performance and resource usage are my two biggest issues with Teams so this is a welcome update. I don’t think Teams is perfect, but it is useful for what it is and generally is good enough.
This is categorically false.
Caste has been hereditary for ~800-1200 years.
Sure, it was considered more flexible in the 4000 year old literature, but it doesn't really make sense to blame the British here.
And the time, resources, and expertise required to solve those timeless problems are relevant to discrimination policy how? Could we solve homelessness and crime by repealing all discrimination laws?
I am aware of and agree with this definition. But...

One company I worked for had two rounds of layoffs - the first round got rid of exclusively low performers (they didn't announce it that way but it was clear) while the second cut across the board. If someone had that insight, they'd be right to consider someone cut in the first wave as a red flag.

But more generally, I don't think people stick to this definition, especially when talking about themselves. "I was laid off from X"... No dude, you got fired for harassment.

Again, all of this is conjecture - we have no idea what the situation in question actually was nor how the person communicated with the company about it.
Now that you mention it, on my non-American fully remote team, while we have no Indian men as engineers, I believe all our QAs are Indian women.
> It should be of the utmost importance to not only prevent the spread of castes, but to utterly destroy them as a concept.

I don't think castes are spreading ideologically outside of India. A lot of Indian immigrants in the US completely ignore caste once they get here.

One problem is that the upper castes benefit from the system. They're sometimes wealthier and speak better English, so it's easier for them to immigrate and become managers at companies.
Perfect is the enemy of good.

India is not dealing with this issue, America is.

The guy invented ball bearings. That alone places him among all time great engineers because we're still using ball bearings everywhere, almost 5 centuries later. The fact that he invented hundreds of other things, many of which we're still using makes him the legend he is.
The average person has no choice but to live in single-family homes. That doesn't mean they want that. Your solution of 'move somewhere else' is completely tone-deaf.

Furthermore, you completely ignored mid-rise housing, and the fact that it can be seamlessly mixed in with SFH without significantly changing the feel or character of the neighbourhood. Oh The Urbanity made a great YouTube video about this recently where they made a neutral comparison of different densities, from 0 to ultra-dense NYC skyscrapers.

He is rhetorically saying an "ought", not "is", although grammatically it is an "is". At least that's how I read it. (Disclaimer: I'm not American and English is not my native language though.)
So I work at Microsoft and I live in Redmond (Seattle suburb). I live in a large neighborhood that is 95% Indian families. My family is white and my daughter is the only white girl on the playground. It's a weird change from growing up in a place that was 95% white people for most of my life. Everyone is friendly but it hasn't been easy for us to integrate hyper-locally. I sometimes feel like our family is intruding in this neighborhood with our non-Indian-ness.

I've noticed that there are lots of teams that are primarily Indian folks and this is true not just of the contractors and India based teams. I really don't know about the dynamics of the caste system and whether not they are at play within MSFT, AMZN or other Seattle/tech companies, but just like most (all?) ethnicities there is certainly a tendency to stick together and live in the same areas / work on the same teams from what I've seen.

On a mostly unrelated note, Seattle proper (as I mentioned, I live in a suburb which is an affluent one) has really gone downhill in the last 10 years. The homeless/drug problem is very bad and the local government seems so entirely incompetent to do anything other than woke signaling.
Not my intention. We of course have our own problems. At least Seattle is standing up for something and calling it out.
It was programmed in to make it more "friendly" or "personable".

> You are literally getting a coin flip of surviving past 2 years after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. If I was given the choice of HAART and living a mostly normal lifespan, or maybe die with a coin flip chance in 2 years, I would pick HAART, no contest.

Not to mention that the "64 years" comparison is not the correct reference point here, because it's talking about people who were never infected with HIV in the first place, not people who have received a stem cell transplant.

The stem cell transplant almost certainly reduces both your lifespan and QALS in the long term, not just the first two years. Yes, it might be worth it if you have cancer, but it's not like it suddenly makes you clinically equivalent to a person who has never had HIV!
Ask HN: Does anyone use hackerrank to prepare for an interview?
I am ready to look for a job, I understand that some employers will do online tests on hackerrank, so I signed up for hackerrank, the website generated some interview preparation questions for me, currently I have completed more than 20, but the problems I found are:

1. Some questions cannot pass the test case, and the question has error. I looked at the discussion of the question, Many people have already reported that the problem exists a year or two ago and have not been resolved.

2. The descriptions of many problems are very long and difficult to understand, and are not human-readable. What I am doing now some basic problems, the solutions is not difficult, but it takes a lot of time to read and understand the topic. (Especially English is my second language)

Now I'm a little unsure if I should continue to invest time in this。Why haven't these obvious errors been fixed? What's the point of doing these brain teasers programming games?

I say the following as an outsider, an

Jesus Christ. What the fuck is wrong with this person.

This is an unacceptable behavior, and it should be banned as a condition of entry to the country. This supposedly enlightened and woke country. Although this is a cultural tradition -- and it's not our place to judge what may or may not go on in India -- all humans are equal here, and this tradition should not be allowed in the United States.

(EDIT: Maybe this story is a false flag, maybe this is all fake, to justify layoffs, purges, etc... but if not, the above is my opinion as an anon.)

Privately held businesses are treated as persons and can have sincerely held religious beliefs, Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores.

I have no idea if the conservatives on the SCOTUS would permit caste discrimination as a sincerely held religious belief, or if they consider only Christian religious beliefs as sincere.
Not so, the discriminatory aspects have existed for thousands of years. However it is always convenient to blame an unpleasant aspect such as this on a foreign scapegoat.
We have, but it's not a single process. We can convert light to electricity quite cheaply and efficiently with solar PV panels and then use that electricity to electrolyze hydrogen from water and capture CO2 from air(or seawater). Then there are a variety of processes, such as the Sabatier reaction, to convert the hydrogen and carbon into a hydrocarbon. I believe Prometheus Fuels is combining the hydrogen electrolysis and CO2 capture into a single step. Terraform Industries is also working on this problem, but is focused on driving down capital costs of electrolysis so that carbon neutral fuel producers can afford to have electrolyzers sitting around unused 75% of the year and only working when solar electricity is so abundant that it's practically free. Electrolysis and carbon capture takes a lot of energy, but assuming that all electricity comes from solar panels, it is far more space efficient than biofuels. An acre of corn or sugarcane can produce about 400-700 gallons of ethanol per year, or about 36-64 gigajoules of fuel. An acre of solar panels (laid nearly flat to maximize space efficiency) that is converted to methane at 30% efficiency (efficiencies around 50-60% are very normal and state of the art is around 75%, but 30% is much easier and cheaper) can produce about 350 gigajoules of fuel per year.

There's also some research on converting hydrogen and CO2 to edible carbohydrates, either chemically or through hydrogenotrophic or methanotrophic bacteria. That will be a huge revolution for either increasing the carrying capacity of the planet or decreasing humanity's impact on the planet. It will also be a huge boon for countries without much arable land to be able to feed their people without relying on imports. Electricity to food is not quite ready for scaling up yet, but synthetic fuels are absolutely ready to go as soon as solar electricity prices drop just a bit more or fossil fuel prices rise a bit more.
