Good for you. Most people are not technical and can't, so why do they also not deserve to not get tracked too?
It's acceptable to cycle to the office at less than your maximum workout speed.

> So schools have subjective criteria that disproportionately impacts one group of students, but it’s fine because that’s the rules and they are following it?

I don’t think that the criteria are quite as subjective as you think. Anything on the margin, especially if it will make or break an application, will be discussed and evaluated at a reasonable level.

Most people are getting downgraded because of complete omission of one or more evaluated areas.

For the past few decades, elite schools have been very clear that they are looking for more than good grades (which themselves can be highly subjective) and good SATs in applicants. As mentioned in the article I linked in my first reply, Harvard actually lays out their exact rubric.

If someone, Asian or not, decides not to participate in sports and doesn’t really have a good reason why not (e.g., had to work after school), they shouldn’t be surprised by their low rating in this area, and they better be highly rated (as in, a 1) in one or more other areas to compensate.

The schools don’t maintain these criteria in order to exclude a certain race of people. They maintain these criteria because they think it’s good for the school long term.

As a simple example, so many of the people who disparage athletics as a component of admissions have no idea how important being a varsity athlete can be after graduating — I call it a totally-not-club club because it has such an invisible but significant influence.

Lastly, I will add that it is almost impossible to have an evaluation system that yields an equal outcome for all races that isn’t a pure lottery. I know the lottery idea is popular on HN, but I think that this is overly dismissive of what makes the strong elite school applicants strong both when they apply and after they graduate. Imho, other than 10% or so of each entering class, it’s not that they are brainiacs — it’s that they are smart enough and can get interesting shit done.

I went to read the page and found them very intuitive. In fact, it took me longer to figure out what you meant by "sidebar elements". I think you meant "sidenote elements".

A very common idiom in long-form webpages is a clickable superscript to show a footnote-like item inline.

To improve usability for people less used to this sort of format I would underline it in blue like a link. I know it's not fashionable, but I think click targets should be styled as either links or buttons and this fits the concept of a link better.

You're completely right the target should be larger. The fix is to add a little padding.
What’s the plan after in current economy?
To keep people who don’t have a means to pay at that store by having the app installed and configured with their account away from the sales floor.

It’s one thing to stop a shoplifter at a normal store. Turnstiles reinforce the notion that this facility actively enforces access control.

This is similar to Passport Control line at the airport. If I have Mobile passport (MPC) app installed, I use a dedicated and usually empty lane. The same is true if I have my Global Entry card. It takes a couple of minutes to setup MPC while walking, but most people choose to wait in the main line.

Yeah, knowing there is no poly-time quantum algo would be as big as showing P!=NP. If it is "no known" algo, it is well known not to use the stronger wording. Outside of oracle results an "at least this hard result" is a big deal.

Yes, structurally if not deliberately (it is unlikely that mainstream IQ tests are anything but diligently designed to avoid overt bias, unlike those of the middle 20th century). If you measure something that has a large SES causative component, and SES is for whatever reason itself highly correlated with race, then your measurements will encode a racial bias.

The big debate in academic psychology is the extent to which factors like SES (and factors downstream of SES, like general health) confound the measurement of some kind of general intelligence. The evidence we have right now pretty clearly points to an effect, so it's down to what the size of that effect is.
Will be interesting to see how that dynamic acts out. I'm also kind of dumbfounded. E.g. will we just make food even unhealthier and just counter it with more of these drugs? Where eventually we're just chugging soybean oil laced with high fructose corn syrup? :D

I mean could the drug counteract that or is there a limit?

Guess we'll find out.
On the flipside, when your website only works with Internet Explorer 11, forcing your customers to keep an unsupported browser around, it's time to reconsider the aversion to keeping up with changes in the technology.

Hi,

It’s Mark from flowstreams.io.

I’m thrilled to share with you that our app is now in early access.

While the streaming market has been booming and evolving, it seems that some of the main players decidedly have not. Insane revenue cuts and overcommercialization have, in my opinion, distracted from what matters most: live game streaming and the content creators that make all of this happen in the first place.

We have decided to rely on blockchain technology purely for the streaming part of our service, which gives us a competitive advantage in terms of fixed streaming costs compared to the likes of Amazon AWS and Google Cloud. Our aim is to keep the revenue split as low as possible while maximizing access to anyone who’d like to stream their favorite game(s).

Check it out now at flowstreams.io, I’d love to hear your feedback and/or questions.

Connect with us on Discord to get your exclusive code to stream on our platform yourself: https://discord.gg/p4TMFK453n
If you have all the modern (on by default) side-channel mitigations on, it's a pretty safe isolation barrier. Not being able to f with your drives & see your data is a pretty enormous win. Set some cpu & mem limits. Im not sure what the default behaviors are but there s likely still things like a docker0 bridge, & many of your services are probably exposed there. You can change your services, you can change yoyr container networking, or you can live with letting containers see your local services. I think i general how secure you want your network to be is one of the most interesting/harder things to be certain about.

I have a hard time thinking what the remaining risks are. Certainly you could give the container too many permissions or give it access or network you shouldnt. In general, I feel like we've gotten quite good at preventing break-out attacks.
A reference is never really "held": from a language-semantics standpoint, it only exists when it is actually used. In this example, copying, reborrowing, or accessing the reference would be UB, but simply letting it fall out of scope would not be UB (modulo the UCG issue oconnor mentioned; but I personally doubt that this status quo will change). You can try this yourself with Tools > Miri on the Playground (https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...). The distinction is far more relevant for unsafe code than for safe code.
Well-played! <golf-clap>
I did this in 2017 when I was 30 or so. Very similar situation to you. Ended up taking around 9 months in total off. Traveled a lot. Worked on personal projects. Picked up chess as a hobby.

Highly recommend it if you’re able to.
I wouldn't agree with this. In order to register a signal handler in Rust, you have to utter unsafe somewhere. That's the point at which you form the contract that your signal handler is correct. The fault is not with the safe code that allocates. The fault is with the creation of the signal handler.

It is true that Rust could model signal safety in some richer way, but that's just a matter of shifting where the contract is formed.
You can do that in just 3 years at FAANG at L5+ level.
>First, using Harvard as an example, 25-28% or so of the entering class is Asian. Given that Asians-Americans are about 6% of the US, this hardly smacks of systemic racism. Something doesn’t add up with this argument.

There's a larger percentage than the whole population of the US, but a smaller percentage than the percentage who apply and have similar qualifications to accepted students who aren't Asian.

What you're seeing is that Asian-Americans are better qualified, but not enough of them are accepted as one would expect from being better qualified.

This is a bike I bought 2005 for about 180 euros. And I still use it today as a city bike. The picture is from around 2013 after I did some upgrades - second hand hydraulic brakes, new cassette, chain, etc.
I don't know what your definition for "ace" is, but I did pretty well. That was my peak. Ever since has been dealing with barrier after barrier, which often seem actively hostile. I suppose that some would chalk my failure up to laziness, but everyone that I've seen overcome those barriers had access to mentors, contacts, connections, and opportunities - resources that don't come my way. Too black, too short, too gay, too quiet, too whiny, too weird. Maybe I just I trip people's gut alarms?

Granted, most of my peers who received a full ride seem to be doing fine. For millennials, I guess your parents gave decent advice. When I look around today, though, I feel less like a one-off loser than someone at the vanguard of a socioeconomic reality where even coming out of an education with no debt weight isn't a guarantee of a clean and unencumbered launch. Increasingly, superficialities - affinity, attractivenes, imminence - are the criteria. Which means that playing by the old rules, going forward, is foolish.

I sometimes wonder where I'd be, with my dark skin (et al.) and high scores, in a country that cared less about the former and more about the latter. But, here, socially, I don't know what I'd have to do to beat out an Asian or white candidate.

I think a password manager like 1pass for all secrets (definitely not confluence) plus a cloud hosted secret system like Aws secretsmanager for secrets that need to be accessed programmatically e.g by various IAM roles.

Devs, once assumed a role, download the secret env files from secretsmanager.

You might see where I'm going with this, you have two systems to store secrets in, one for general use and one for programmatic use. It's not ideal but pragmatic and do consider if your in a security sensitive domain, then you would want to customise this process e.g. by only having one storage system and shorter access etc.

Someone of the two infra people would have the ability to assume a role/get a set of expiring "deploy" keys that they would paste into CI To start a deployment (still in ci just doing stuff that CI normally doesn't have permission to do)

I plug my cable modem into a server running the OPNsense firewall [0], which has a wireguard plugin.

I set up a wireguard VPN in OPNsense.

Then I downloaded the wireguard app in F-Droid, and pasted my credentials from the wireguard Android app into the wireguard configs on the firewall.

I set the VPN in grapheneOS as "always on," so from my phone's perspective, it always has access to my internal network, even when on LTE. All my phones internet traffic ends up going through my home internet connection as a result.

AirBnB is dogshit.
DDoS risk seems to be related to the type of services you're hosting. If you host openly available game services or adult media, those seem to attract DDoS, and you need a good relationship with your upstream. If you're just hosting personal things, you're not likely to get DDoSed except for people just hitting random IPs, which could get you anyway.

If it happens, not too much you can do, other than move to real hosting, and let them know upfront, or they'll drop you quick. Note that the first line of DDoS defense at your real hosting is going to be null routing your IP: dropping traffic to that IP, preferably on their upstreams' routers. That's normal and ok, although frustrating for you; doing better has costs.

My wife and I are 32, and just both quit our bay area tech jobs. We're moving to Europe for a year. Plan is to explore / adventure and spend some time thinking about what we want to do next.

And with our work experience we can just move back and start working again whenever we want.

ipaddr is right that he described the actual situation with FAANGs scooping up all of high caliber underrepresented minority candidates (think black/women ivy league comp sci grads with high GPA).

But this also creates a positive feedback loop when more and more women decide to switch industries and pursue IT/Engineering jobs via bootcamps, college degrees, etc. I noticed the number of female candidates in UX/UI, fullstack, QA, Data Analytics - has increased in last several years.

Partly because the demand is still high for these professionals, partly because there is entire cottage industry of bootcamps churning out IT specialists en masse, partly these diversity hiring practices that opened up doors for women
I could see them leading a march to the worsening of health care overall in a number of ways. I don't think it's as simple as "if they're not good, nobody will use them". Health care in the US doesn't really work that way, which is part of the problem with US health care.

Oysters were poor people food in the same era, and like now, many people ate them raw. It has less to do with culinary trends and much more to do with the relative productivity of the lobster fishery. (In recent years, the lobster fishery has been really productive, but prices have been pretty sticky[0].)

Mark Kurlansky's The Big Oyster has some great primary source research on the social status of eating shellfish through the years.

It looks like you don't know much about Europe.

Let's start with browser. Opera, made in Norway.

Search Engine. Ecosia, Qwant.

Social network: Mastodon.

Operating system: are you kidding right? Linux, Linus Torvalds is from Finland.

E-commerce company, just a few : Otto Group (bigger than uber, close in size to Baidu), Zalando, Booking.com, Digitec Galaxus (Swiss company, now selling in Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy; way better than Amazon).

Cloud computing platform: Hetzner, OVHCloud, SAP Cloud.

Financial services: Adyen (payment company, net income about 1/5th of paypal with 1/10th of the employees), Klarna, Revolut.

Entertainment company: if you accept video games as entertainment, Wooga from Berlin made Diamond Dash, Ninja Theory UK (Heavenly Sword, Devil May Cry), GameLoft is in Paris (Assassin's Creed mobile), Rovio (Angry Birds), Team17 UK (Worms, I know a bit dated but it's a classic), Crytek Germany (Crysis, Far Cry, Homefront), Supercell Finland (Clash of Clans), CCP Games Iceland (EVE Online, EVE Valkyrie), Arkhane Studios France (Dishonored, Bioshock 2), King Sweden (Candy Crush), RockStar North (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne), CD Project Poland (The Witcher, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt), DICE Sweden (Mirror's Edge, Battlefield), Hello Games UK (No Man's Sky).

Since we are talking about AI. DeepMind started and is still mainly based in UK, although it is now part of Alphabet.

DeepL, often better than Google translate.

ASML, the single company in the world that makes extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines necessary to manufacture all the AI chips and latest processors.

ARM, based in Cambridge UK.

In the same vein: NXP Semiconductors, STM Microelectronics, Infineon Technology (originally Siemens semiconductor manufacturing division).

A few startups are doing good AI chips, e.g. Graphcore, GrAI Matter Labs.

IoT protocols: LoRA, LoRAWAN.

Open source: honorable mention to Redis, made by Salvatore Sanfilippo, fellow Italian like me.

OpenTitan: the root of trust chip that powers Google security chips in everything from Pixel phones to datacenter hardware, is a collaboration with ETH Switzerland, lowRISC Cambridge, G+D Mobile Security Germany, and other international companies (https://opentitan.org/).

A lot of industrial robot companies, which are essential to manufacture most stuff you buy on e-commerce sites, are from Europe: ABB (Switzerland) and KUKA (Germany) are the first and third companies worldwide by market for industrial robotics. Comau (Italy) is 5th. Stäubli (Switzerland) is 9th. Universal Robots (Denmark) is 10th. Notably, all the others in the top ten (Fanuc, Yaskawa, Epson, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi) are from Japan. None are from US.

Some suggestions:

* Spend a little time thinking about what you're hoping to get out of this break. Try to come up with some concrete goals. Write them down. It doesn't necessarily have to involve an extensive to-do list, which might feel overwhelming. But maybe a handful of goals related to your mental or physical health?

* Do you rent or own your home? Can you sublet or rent out? Consider spending at least some of the time in a different part of the country. If there's some place that interests you and has lower cost of living, all the better.

* Let you professional network know about this. And try to find some time to reconnect with colleagues and friends during this period. This will likely help you when you're ready to return to work.

* Be mindful of the fact that you are in a position that is unattainable for practically everyone else. Very, very few people have the financial means to stop working for an extended period. Don't take the break for granted.

* Traveling can broaden your horizons, but it also has a way of helping you better appreciate what you have at home. As Chesterton wrote, "The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land."

* I'm not sure where your interests lie, but one important contributor to personal fulfillment is helping others. Consider looking for opportunities to volunteer.

* A lot of people think burnout is purely a result of being overworked. But researchers who study burnout point out that there are two other contributors: cynicism/detachment and inefficacy. Basically, if you're not finding meaning in your work, and you're not seeing the fruits of your accomplishments, that can burn you out even if you're not particularly overworked. So when it's time to return to work, be on the lookout for these things, because you don't want to go through this cycle again.
I don't see why someone would still use Airbnb for short stays. At $1.5k for 5 nights in Seattle you can surely stay at a decent hotel (which the OP ended up doing anyway, at $1.3k), and not have to deal with some weird hosts.
