USB mics could also be dynamic, the difference is the USB and internal ADC, however they are aimed at a different use case. Dynamic mics are among the best choices for live singing and miking loud instruments (drums, guitar/bass cabs, etc), while USB mics primary use is podcasting by people who don't have or need a mixing deck.
I would never ever use a USB microphone for music because, sound quality aside, it could introduce a non predictable latency and possibly phase differences when used in two or more channels (8 USB mics = 8 ADCs with 8 different clocks, unlike for example a single audio interface with single multi channel ADC or more ADCs sharing a common clock), so although USB sales have increased lately, dynamic ones remain king when music is being played or recorded.

Innovation Power: Why Technology Will Define the Future of Geopolitics
As someone who's been around the tech industry for a while, I know firsthand all the sausage-making that goes into building a great technical hiring funnel.
On the flip side, as a job seeker, I also know how demoralizing it can be to go through a broken hiring process that doesn't accurately reflect your abilities.

With recent layoffs and many talented professionals on the job market, I was compelled to write a blog post about how to build an inclusive hiring culture and find exceptional engineering talent.

If you're involved in your organization's technical hiring process at any stage, I encourage you to give this a read. I share some best practices for conducting effective interviews and improving your own hiring process.

How little are they paying these people who are doing the unlocking, that it's worthwhile for such small items?

They just opened an Amazon Go store in LA (Woodland Hills) at the beginning of the year.

For whatever reason there's also a Whole Foods and an Amazon Fresh near by as well. Woodland Hills is well stocked with Amazon retail!

I agree that one letter variable names sometimes make sense. I’d use w for width if the function is short, has a very limited number of variables, w is limited to the scope of the function and not an input parameter, and w is used multiple times.

Books: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team & Elegant Puzzle.
Possible! But my previous answer was based on the "If they are so qualified" scenario. The important takeaway is that the legacy special track has a reason to exist whether or not they let unqualified students in.
We don't need rich people to all piling in to donate to the top schools. Have them donated to the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th tier schools.

Encouraging donation to top schools via legacy admission creates a perverse incentive to concentrate resources at a few top schools, creating the cycle of everyone fighting to get into them. Money and resources should be spread out.

When I studied physics it was almost “free admittance” (essentially a high school diploma with at least P-Level courses is what I think would be an equivalent in California).

Within the first semester everyone was weeded out who wouldn’t make it to the degree with theoretical physics and math courses.

It was pretty fair in retrospect. Everyone had their chance and a bad grade in English didn’t prevent anyone from pursuing physics. Since there was only an administrative fee of ~500€ for the semester it also didn’t ruin people’s finances

Apple is just one of thousands of manufacturers and tech news gave the too much attention IMHO.
> I still don’t see how it’s discrimination against White students. This actually looks more like discrimination against Asians, with Whites being the biggest beneficiary of the discrimination based on the numbers.

Because you are looking at it through the lens of total student makeup of certain top universities.

If Whites need 100 points higher on SAT than some others, then Whites are being discriminated against. That is, if you remove only the discrimination against Whites then they do better in the current system. If Asians need 200 points higher on SAT and you remove all discrimination then Whites do worse at some top universities than currently. So Whites would be both being discriminated against and for at those certain universities.

If you look at the overall college system, there's something like 35% of undergrads that are Black/Hispanic and 5% for Asian so in the overall system Whites net benefit more from no discrimination than Asians do.

So you've picked a particular point of view between principled and subjective, global and local, to conclude Whites aren't being discriminated against. Maybe it's worth exploring why.

Microsoft has repeatedly engaged in malicious anticompetitive behavior. Without any additional information, I therefore think it's rational to place a high prior probability on this being malicious anticompetitive behavior. The data itself might be consistent with either an accident or malicious anticompetitive behavior. In that case, the prior dictates the posterior.

LISP isn't a pure functional language, it's a multi-paradigm language that is as dynamic as they come. Its problem isn't lack of expressivity, it's probably that it's too flexible (and of course the syntax throws people off).

As for Haskell, I guess that gets into the question of how you define expressivity, which is admittedly a very fuzzy term. Here I meant it to mean capable of fluently expressing many different kinds of algorithms without having to resort to circumlocution.

Functional programming is natively supported in almost all modern languages. You call a function which calls a function which calls a function which calls a function, return the result. There's no syntactic sugar, just function calls.

In Haskell, while I've seen people argue that do notation may as well be imperative code, it isn't. It's an approximation of imperative code using Church—Turing and a liberal dose of syntactic sugar, and using it effectively still requires you to understand the underlying monadic model.

One day, it would be nice to have a metric of how many tons of CO2 is a year of life less for one specific human being (being killed by climate change), or one net-year over multiple humans lost with indirect deadly effects would probably be more useful.

800 USD is enough to save a life, but how many people does one pickup truck kill?

Last time I checked for european SUVs, my in the ballpark guesstimate after doing the number crunching was 0.001 to 0.01;
So about as many as car traffic probably is creating by means of non-CO2 based costs and damages anyway.

The later number takes into account having subsidies either directly as well as for infrastructure paid for,

Somewhere between the advent of Gamergate and the advent of Trump-style fascism worldwide. Hate promoters codified abuse of the Internet’s legacy of free speech courtesies, into endorsing and accepting hate speech as a permissible form of “free” speech. They also co-opted the Libertarian movement’s definition of “freedom” to include hate speech, which enables a lot of plausible-deniability support for hate.

I don’t assume that anyone promoting unrestricted speech is a hater, but I certainly give then a wide berth regardless, as they’re usually too naive or in denial to be safe company to keep. US law no longer offers sufficient protection against hate speech to allow me to refer to “free speech” comfortably.

I hope this helps you comprehend why others might react badly to sites such as Grex; I tried to convey a viewpoint that seemed unfamiliar, even if it might be unpalatable. I don’t expect agreement and I don’t seek it, so please don’t view this as an attempt to change anyone’s mind.

They are going to make a lot of money with this. When NYC first rolled out the unlimited metrocards it was $50/m to travel anywhere in the NYC area by bus or subway. Suddenly all the places that people didn’t go because they didn’t want to spend the subway fare were now on equal footing.

Fast forward twenty years and that same pass now costs $200/m and they say now they are going to start adding a transit fee to everyone’s income tax as well. Not nearly as good a deal. But somehow I think Germany will avoid that fate.
> For anyone out there who values the swiftly fading open-ness of the Internet, Firefox or other smaller FLOSS browsers are the right tools of choice.

Mozilla had their chance at this decades ago and Firefox was the dominant browser against IE, 16 years ago, until they did a deal with Google, fell asleep at the wheel and allowed them to overtake and get sabotaged via Chrome's dominance. The same Mozilla CEO at the time believed they could live without Google's money [0] and now 16 years later, they are still heavily reliant on Google and at this point are on life-support.

Mozilla already gave Google what they wanted and forfeited their so-called 'privacy-focused browser mission' over giving the CEO a decades streak of multi-million dollar pay days, whilst the 'Mozillians' only got layoffs and all left with little to nothing.

Mozilla is now a joke to the 'open-ness of the web'. They have nothing to fight with and lost as soon as the took Google's money.

Your argument makes no sense because as the comment you are replying says, when you drop the shenanigans, the universities get full of Asians. If what you say is true, they'd become full of rich people of any race, common denominator being the richest you are the likelier you are to be there. But instead what happens is hard working Asians are admitted.

Universities should optimize for the best students.

> But when you group all traditional knowledge as one body and claim everything under it to be scientific

It might be useful to keep the topic on Mātauranga Māori, and not widen it to "all traditional knowledge."

As I wrote, I am not qualified to understand the actual debate here. I have tried to read some of the issues, like https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/2545-matauranga-ma... , and the best I can tell is that it's not being treated as "science" but contributes to how to do science, and what the goals of science are.

Take modern medical research. It has a long history of being guided by the interests of white males, under a paternalistic system where the researcher had little constraints on "the pursuit of science." Over the last decades this has changed, and medical research is more bound by ethical constraints which aren't "science", but which are ways to decide which science to do, or to avoid.

I think MM is supposed to be like that - to let Māori knowledge, culture, and "ways of knowing" influence how science is done. And I think people get hung up by the phrase "ways of knowing", as if there were a way of knowing which wasn't science. While I can't help wonder if that means things like "prioritize the well-being of local Māori tribes" over "get another publication out" or "follow the track towards tenure".

But really, don't trust my interpretation.
Is this coming from a different place by the sort of person who has good-but-but-top grades and top standardized test scores, but thinks they deserve a look by elite universities? However, they can't say that so they point to a theoretical disadvantaged student who is somehow elevated by taking the test?

Fundamentally, the question is whether the SAT does what ETS wants you to believe it does, that it provides an objective assessment of a high schooler for college admissions. The claim is a correlation to the first year grades. Beyond that, it's mainly correlated to IQ and social class (professional class scores best IIRC).

Contrast this with the situation in other countries that rely heavily on testing, such as Ireland. As I understand it, the subjects are tested and the test grade is used instead of subjective markers of academic performance. Students are allowed to choose their university course based on priority derived from these test scores. This seems like a much more likely way for a poor Irish kid to arrive at Trinity college than for Harvard to notice and pluck out a poor American kid, if they even bothered applying.

For it to be "just about the origin", what you describe is not enough.
