It's not really about "who is the MOST oppressed" but rather that there are many oppressed peoples who are right now slipping through the cracks altogether.

Probably we need to support all of them, at the expense of people who could afford it (the upper middle class and up), not make them fight for scraps against each other.

I think the likely outcome of such a system (my hypothesis only, untested in reality) is that we'll find that yes, believe it or not, life is harder for Black people in general, especially in some areas, but that there are also rich Latinos, poor whites, cis men who've been abused, Asians who grew up in the hood, whatever.

Our society is too heterogeneous to neatly segregate us by any one line alone, whether that line is race or class or sex oe whatever. Our backgrounds are a complex mix of variables that each have an impact and shouldn't be ignored.

I took a class in college that focused on Latino culture in the US. It was taught by a professor originally from Puerto Rico. For context, this class was taught in Los Angeles.

He said that even across central and south American cultures skin tones affected how people were perceived and treated as applied to class. The lighter the skin the better in most cases but not all. He wasn't proud of it or endorsing it, just stating it as a fact of life in many countries. And he'd been on the other side of that perception, too. He later intersected those prejudices with the interesting pride many take (or appropriate) from the art and symbols of indigenous and ancient civilizations (Aztec, Mayan, etc.) even if there were no direct biological ties. It's a very complicated topic with countless caveats and anecdotal experiences.

But the biases we witness and experience in the US are not unique by any means, that's for sure.

I entirely agree with your identification of the problem. Everyone thinks their desired set of features is the most reasonable set of features to want, and is confused why anyone would want anything else.

My desired features are basically yours, plus notifications. I've found the Amazfit Bip to just about fit the bill. I wish it had a bit more health tracking, but the ~month of battery life makes up for it. Watches with batteries that last a week are what confuse me; it's too regular to forget about, and too infrequent to easily remember. I could probably get used to a daily charge though.

First, I agree. Microsoft has failed to provide a viable platform for native GUI development, and IMO there is still a place for native desktop applications. Part of the reason Windows stayed so prevalent for so long is its rich software ecosystem - arguably, an ecosystem that partially resulted from MS's focus on developers.

However, there may be additional reasons for building new products with web tech. Someone already needs to maintain the web versions of these applications. If you're going to offer web access to Outlook, a team needs to be responsible for maintaining that web application. By replacing the native desktop app with a wrapper around their existing web application, Microsoft reduces the need to separately build and maintain features in both platforms.

This is a key reason why std::unordered_map is several times slower than fast hashmap implementations that only use a couple of long flat arrays per hashmap object. Nonetheless, common STL implementations use their own allocators by default and would not call malloc() on small objects frequently.

This also works in the opposite direction though:

New York has a right to shelter law because of the judicial branch of government. Basically, a pro bono lawsuit and a judge forced NY to have enough shelter space for all people sleeping in the street.

Compare and contrast that to San Francisco (and more broadly California) - where everything can be decided on at the ballot box (like kidney dialysis staffing levels) - which has more people sleeping on the street than all of the UK, and has a wait list of each night of 1000+ for a shelter spot.

Everything has advantages and drawbacks.

Not answering your question, but a bit of interesting trivia for you. Large passenger airplanes routinely take off with too much fuel to land safely. If one took off, circled the airport once, and landed, then it might actually break apart on landing because of the mass of the fuel being sloshed around as the airplane touches down. That's why planes preferably dump or burn off excess fuel before an unscheduled early landing.

There are also rules about exactly where a plane can touch down on the runway. Only some of a runway is engineered to be strong enough to bear the weight of a massive plane dropping onto the pavement. The rest is called a "displaced threshold" and is OK for parking, taxiing, and taking off.

Yea, it is really amazingly nice to have this. People don’t like Pascal, even though it’s a nice, readable and very fast language. Compile time wise, modern languages are a joke, but not a funny one. I can compile a million lines of pascal faster than updating a hello world typescript site. I have been looking how to add a borrow checker to fps with minimal damage. It seems with compiler directives it can work. The compiler can tell you how many frees are not guaranteed.
The general case is for arbitrary programs. That's not the important case. You want to prove things about _this_ program which you've written, not about all programs.

There is a difference between type _conversion_ and changing the type of a variable. In your example, there's no conversion performed. "a" is dynamically typed, it's type changes with each assignment. The interpreter does not coerce the type at any step.

Your definition of "f" is no different than this in C++:
template<typename T, typename U>
auto f(T x, U y) -> decltype(x + y) { return x + y; }

"f" is duck typed, effectively. It works fine if operator+ is well defined for "x" and "y", otherwise it fails. The difference, though is a compile time error in C++ vs a runtime error in Python (maybe a linter error with appropriate type hints).

You're under the mistaken impression that justifications are a prerequisite. Any court can find justification for any ruling in whatever way they see fit. Yes, lower judges have been remove for questionable decisions. SCOTUS is above that, as a lifetime appointment. Sometimes rulings come with no justification at all. SCOTUS has been trying to explain itself via these public "opinions", but is not required to do so.

Hey dude, I was in your class, and I can say firsthand that you deserved to be there like any of us.

Almost everyone at a place like MIT feels some impostor syndrome, and I think maybe even for good bogus-mathematical-theorem reasons: if a place like MIT tries to select from the top few percent of a normal distribution, that new distribution after selection will look bottom-heavy (and feel that way around campus). We all knew those few incredible superstars who could run laps around us, but that doesn't mean you're not a star too.
The intent is to factor in some unknown "racism" value. Poor White and Asian kids still beat out poor Black and Hispanic kids academically on average, so if you naively stratified by income, you'd still wind up with a mostly white and Asian student population.

There are a lot of reasons Black and Hispanic kids underperform, and it's just easier for the school to short circuit all that and choose based on race rather than incorporate all those other factors. It might not even be viable to incorporate all those other factors.

We really only have two choices:

1) Wait out the effects of racism, historic and contemporary, which will take hundreds of years.

2) Sacrifice some of our "individual determination above all else" principles to reach some palpable level of racial equality.

I think both are flawed in their own ways, but the world is always imperfect, so pick your side.

As someone not from the US, this whole Affirmative Actions seems to just be reversed racism. I.e. in the end more-or-less still unfair.

Better to just remove race all together, and e.g. require college admissions by law to be judged without knowing the applicants name or ethnicity.

To me as an outsider, the US focuses wayyyyy to much on race. Race really does not matter, and no matter how much the US claims to be racism free, the degree to which it is focused on just proves that the US isn't free of racism. Even asking for ones race or ethnicity in my country would be considered descriminatory as there can be no purpose for collecting that information that isn't descriminatory.

Discriminating based on race (among other things) is forbidden in the constitution, and that is absolute.

I really wanted to dive into Racket a few years ago and still really like Racket. But this is when they switched focus to the Rhombus project, which killed a lot of interest and personal momentum I had going for Racket. It has also become clear that Racket's maintenance core is too academic. I don't think Racket is too academic, but by the very nature of Racket's primary community being professors and graduate students, it means there is a very small core team with a lot of the interest and use outside of that core being shortlived as students go through PhD programs. There are a few nonacademic core members, but there are few.
> I think the good lesson here is that if you aren't capable of judging the risk of something, you shouldn't participate in it.

> I assume the intent is to help disadvantaged people have opportunities that more priviledged people have already. Right? I mean, I can get behind that. But then why the entire detour with race?

Up until about 1971 (possibly later, but that's the date of Loving vs Virginia), the US had formal, legal discrimination against black people. On finally removing that, there was at various times discussion of whether people who had been legally discriminated against all their lives should be compensated, as if they had been wronged in a tort sense. This would obviously be extremely expensive, and anyway impossible to quantify, so it never happened.

Harvard, and many other colleges, has a big base of "legacy" admissions, as well as a certain amount of generational knowledge and connections - you're more likely to get into Harvard if your parents went to Harvard, over and above mere class status. Since black people were under-represented in this category, people came up with the idea of putting a thumb on the other side of the scale and artificially increasing their rate of admission. Can it balance exactly against the disadvantages of discrimination? No.

> I genuinely don't get why the race thing is part of the equation. Shouldn't this just be run-of-the-mill social democratic "lets hand out some extra opportunities/benefits to the poor" program?

America is not in the least social-democratic, but racism and anti-racism have been there since the beginning and will probably dominate US politics until the last person who remembers the KKK is dead.

(It could be worse: Haitians who had freed themselves from slavery by the mass murder of their oppressors were made to pay a huge amount of compensation to them!)
This ends up moving the burden onto individuals.

If you have an Asian Medical Doctor, they are AAA. If you have a multiple minority Medical Doctor, they are not necessarily AAA, they could be As.

Which one do you want to do brain surgery on you?

Without Affirmative action, you'd trust a multiple minority doctor equally to an Asian doctor.

I wonder what the cost is on the healthcare system/US citizens when we have worse performers in critical positions.
Indeed, but the goal of affirmative action as actually practiced is not to help people who are unlucky in terms of where they are born and are growing up, but to literally just achieve desired racial balance. It is pure racism, it’s all about skin color.

This is why, for example, children of African immigrants are something like half of black Harvard students, despite being a minuscule fraction of population: they want to meet their 13% black quota, but there are too few American descendants of slaves who will not be utterly out of place, so they make up the shortage with Africans.

> They should have lost the publics trust over that alone.

Public opinion - let alone public trust - does not matter to a Supreme Court justice; they're appointed by the government for life. There's literally nothing the public can do (short of revolution) that impacts their jobs.

Only the opinions of the house/senate members even remotely matters to them, and so long as congress can't get enough votes to impeach them (a majority in the House, and 2/3 of the Senate), they can do pretty much whatever they want.

Historically, no Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. It's been around 200 years (1805) since the last attempt was even made.
It's not. Going 70 in close proximity is extremely dangerous.
They kind of do. Federal judges have a great deal of latitude in what they are allowed to accomplish with a ruling. They have the power to effectively change the text of a law to mean what the judge says it should mean (granted, it must also pass appeal).

It has been a problem for decades now that Congress will pass laws that aren't well thought out, then leave it to the judiciary to iron out the specifics. It's only recently that members of the judiciary began pushing back and ruling on the text of the law and saying the legislators should "fix" the obvious problems with the law.

The term for this is colloquially, "legislating from the bench."
Why is the analogy ridiculous? You should read The Chosen, by Karabel, which is probably the best history of elite college admissions. Much of what we do in college admissions today are remnants to reduce the number of Jewish people at Ivy League schools -- and then later a focus on meritocracy. Colleges have historically taken stock of the "type" of people they accept and adjust to their liking.
