PRC global trade increased by 1 trillion with a T in the last 4 years, more than the prior 10 years. That's the greatest expansion in globalism... ever. Most with the global south, some of which is redirected trade to western block who realized they can't decouple but only derisk while the PRC has increased global integration more than... ever. Meanwhile PRC is moving from 25% skilled workforce to 60/70/80% like an advanced economy by spamming ~5M stem per year - for next 20-30 years they'll be reaping the greatest concentrated pool of skilled labour demographic dividend... also ever. Maybe post 2060s demography will be an issue like JP whose problem is they couldn't replace skilled labour at parity and even then they just merely stayed... very competitive. That's what a PRC "collapse" will look like, a massive Japan (as in multiple Japans) where median projection paints 2100 PRC as the second largest country with a skilled workforce many times larger than 2023 PRC. Conveniently, also one that doesn't have to import calories/energy. That's the problem with focusing only on the demographic pyramid and not actual demographic workforce composition. Yes PRC will have demographic challenges, but demographic trends also point toward overwhelming PRC global competitiveness and geopolitical security.

Have to agree about the professors. They aren't there to teach, they're there to do research.

I found that despite being in regular 2 v 1 tutorials, a large number of professors are simply not that interested in teaching.

The best tutors ended up being PhD students. They knew how stuff actually worked, and had been through the material recently enough to understand how undergrads might not get it.

The true value of a salesorce/hubspot killer CRM is integrations. Most people use hubspot or salesforce just as a database and use a bunch of other tools.

If you want to do one thing - focus on integrations first and UI second. Let your integration architecture inform your UI/metadata driven architecture.

the good thing is - this is an easy step into monetization. Anyone would pay the same cost as hubspot for an opensource alternative...but with the same integrations. Managing the data pipelines is the hard part.

A track star olympiad sounds like someone that has a sense of dedication and a work ethic that will serve them well in academics. A person who has scored well on a single test they had a long time to prep for but displays no other outstanding qualities seems like someone that might be overwhelmed and not able to keep up with the academic requirements of university.

Your fixation with standardized tests is unusual for this site. It's a complicated debate but you seem to have a strong opinion about the value of standardized tests

Some colleges don't even require them anymore [1] as you mentioned. The NEA claims they don't properly measure student value [2].

Finally, I know many children of immigrants who literally have burned out because of a singular focus on education by their parents. That's anecdotal of course and I almost stupid mentioning the steretype. However, this may be a real issue even if it's not all[3].

You have focused on these tests often in your comments. Do you have evidence these are a good measure of intelligence or ability related to either to college or the workplace?

> Good. With the end of affirmative action, legacy status in admissions becomes much harder to justify.

Placing University of Pittsburgh, a public university which has almost a 67% acceptance rate, in the same conversation with private universities that have acceptance rates in or near the single digit percentages borders on journalistic fraud.

I would also say that Pitt, unlike a lot (most) of universities mentioned, had many programs attempting to help those from more humble backgrounds get into the university. It used to have a very strong night school. It also had many programs in the summer for students who were "on the edge" of getting in but needed to learn some extra skills (like how to study, how to use libraries, extra classwork learning how to write, etc.).

I don't know what kind of programs Pitt still has, though. So my information could be outdated.

You see many examples of comments, I'm sure, that look like they could happen anywhere.

And you continue to believe that, right up until you see a comment just like them, that gets someone banned from reddit. And then you're irate, and you wonder why you were banned. But you can't even get much explanation, because having been banned from reddit, they've taken the one way you might use to demand the explanation.

But even that's not the full picture. Sometimes there are people whose "contrariness" is a bit higher than other people's. And they refuse to participate in places where they aren't allowed to say whatever they want, even if pretty much all the time they'd never say anything that would get them banned. Are those people more interesting than others? Who knows, you'll never find their stuff on reddit.

I think in the legal world, you call this over-moderation a "chilling effect". You don't have to censor everyone, it turns out, if you can scare or bully them into self-censoring.

Eventually, I think, everyone sees what we're talking about. It's just by the time it's so overt that even you can't deny it anymore, there won't be much anyone can do about it.

To add to the other comment mentioning the cosmic microwave background, consider that thermometers measure _their own_ temperature, not the one of their surroundings. This nitpick is actually important here, because it explains how temperature can be measured even in complete (massive+free particle) vacuum. Whenever there is energy transfer into the thermometer, and the CMB does just that, you measure temperature.

Related fun fact: the vacuum of space is not only very very cold, but also very insulating. Space suits have to be fitted with a cooling system, otherwise the heat of the astronaut's body and suit electronics would become too warm, even though it's 2.7K all around them.
That is true, but it completely misses the point because rolling your own SPA is next to trivial. Things like state management, event delegation, and modularity are challenging without frameworks but only if you have never tried that without some large framework.

Every time I bring this up the common rebuttal is immediately quitting, something like: "I tried it once and it was tough, so therefore it can't be done". That just screams skills deficit.
> They both raised me, and they both stressed the importance of good social graces.

No offense intended. Parents often tell, sometimes show, but rarely teach their kids much. Teaching isn't easy.

My original point was that so much of this is also in the hands of the person, not your parents or society. Nurture isn't all external. I had a similar relationship with my parents.

> But if there's a hell, my corner of it looks like a cocktail party where I'm expected to mingle with everyone and never get a moment to myself.

That sounds to me like a lack of motivation, not introversion. I feel like you just don't see what's in it for you. If you were in sales, you would see that as an opportunity. Turning on charisma and charm is a skilled and conscious effort to delight people in subtle ways. Internally it's all about you, but externally it's all about them. Learning that dynamic requires experience. The only part that comes natural is the curiosity to develop a skill. Anyone can find joy in what essentially becomes a game when they understand it.

> No need to read the lines all into memory first.

It looks like that code does read the whole file:

(with a foo.csv that is 350955 bytes long:)

% python -V
Python 3.11.4
% python
>>> f = open("foo.csv")
>>> f.tell()
0
>>> header, *records = [row.strip().split(',') for row in f]
>>> f.tell()
350955

I thought that using a list comprehension to bind header and records was eagerly consuming the file, so I changed it to a generator comprehension with

>>> f.close()
>>> f.open("foo.csv")
>>> header, *records = (row.strip().split(',') for row in f)
>>> f.tell()
350955

nope, I guess the destructuring bind does it?

>>> f.close()
>>> f.open("foo.csv")
>>> headers, records = f.readline().strip().split(','), (row.strip().split(',') for row in f)
>>> f.tell()
125

not as neat, though. Is there a golf-ier way to do it?*
Can anyone explain the consequences here? I'm not familiar with US immigrant worker policy.
To the contrary, the NEA wildly overestimates it and employs junk question-begging "disparate impact" [0] reasoning throughout. The article is full of stuff like this: "There is a clear correlation, for example, between test scores and property values."

To the extent that society is meritocratic at all and intelligence is heritable (and it is), we should expect test scores to correlate with all manner of measures of success, including property values. Articles like this don't even take that question seriously. They just ignore it. It's proof by repeated assertion. It may be fashionable to insist that this is prima facie evidence of bias, but that is a question of logic and not a difficult one, whatever exceedingly average minds like Ibram X. Kendi think of it.

[0] As a legal concept "disparate impact" is what it is. The law means whatever its authors intend it to mean. But as a matter of logic, it's embarrassing, and beneath this forum.

Oh don't even get me started on this, I start fuming just by reading your comments because they often align very closely with my thinking (in other threads as well).

I really think we should all pull up our sleeves and e.g. make transpilers from TLA+ to every mainstream language. (Provided we first made sure TLA+'s parallel logic is exhaustive and flawless, of course.)

I too get super ticked off these days. The programmers at large are constantly running in circles and almost nobody seems to care and everyone loves to pretend that this is exactly how things should be... Argh!
You read it wrong. It's not permanently attached. They stick a very precise 3D object in the chip slot, and if it doesn't fit, that means the slot isn't the exact same as how the reader was made from the manufacturer. So you get a cashier to do that at the start of their shift, and if anything is detected they call out a more trained repair man/security professional to figure out if there is a skimmer.

I found a wicked email CGI script on there that is all that and a bag of chips. You can transfer the script into your cgi-bin directory and submit a form to it to collect feedback and all that.

Just put an animated mailbox icon on your home page that hyperlinks to a form page. Put the usual <INPUT> and <TEXTAREA> elements for "from", "subject", yada-yadda-yadda...

Then put in "hidden" type <INPUT> form elements for the "to" value. Totally make sure to make it hidden!

Add a submit button, and bada-bing, you're all set!

You can even send messages to your pager! Check the manual that came with it.
The PRC bet on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and got burned. Their constant whining about Taiwan and childish insistence that Tienanmen Square never happened makes them the laughingstock of the world. Their continued support for the demented lapdog regime in North Korea is similarly laughable. Their deification of gangsters like Mao and Deng puts them on a par with other unserious regimes as North Korea and the former USSR.

China's massive digital divide is shameful, as is its neglect and brutalization of ethnic minorities. China's sexism is notorious the world over, as is its noxious pollution and the utter disregard its companies have for environmental laws. There's little for the West to copy, and even less the West should copy.

My reasoning is that it's actually backwards.

So this is a systemic issue, where the people actually impacting the problem are at the top of compagnies, governement and international regulators. That's where any change can happen - any individual change has an effect that is either non perceptible ("setting an example for others" is impossible to measure) or measurably negligible (making your footprint smaller).

So things like recycling or running the AC less have nothing to do with the problem or the solution - we need to affect the system itself, and to do that we have to go through companies, governement and international regulation.

Issue is that virtually no one is trying to do that. Few people try to impact local governement, fewer national or international entities.

I think this is because the "energy" needed to think and find a way to have an impact is drained into all the individual action stuff.

Like a pressure cooker - individual action is the valve letting of enough steam so that nothing happens. Remove the valve - what happens?

An individual may be eligible for CAPI if they meet all of the

1. Are a non-citizen and meet the immigration status criteria in effect for SSI/SSP as of 8/21/96.

2. Are 65 or over, blind or disabled.

3. Are ineligible for SSI/SSP solely due to their immigration status. (This means they must either apply for SSI/SSP and have a notice of denial based on their immigration status alone, or submit other proof of ineligibility from the Social Security Administration.)

4. Must reside in California.

5. Their income must be less than the CAPI standards.

6. Their resources must be below the allowable limits of $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a couple.

7. They must successfully complete the application process.

> The average reader there doesn't really have good taste in books.

Massive problem everywhere. Sometimes I'll read some well-reviewed book-club sort of book, and it's usually somewhere between middling, and really bad. I once encountered one of those from a major publisher and aside from not being very good to begin with, it didn't even seem to have had a test-read done before it went to print—there were multiple parts, and one egregious chapter, where it looked like the author had done a major re-organizing edit then never gone back to iron out the wrinkles, such that the text would contradict itself line-to-line, like two or three versions of a scene describing different action, sequence of events, and circumstances re: things like which characters were present, had been hastily mashed up then never fully reconciled. This was plainly not a some intentionally-ambiguous literary device, but an oversight that left the reader unable to know what was supposed to have occurred. You'd never know what a mediocre story and technical mess it was from reading online reviews, though, unless you dug deep into the one- and two-star stuff (and found a reviewer of that sort who hadn't DNF'd it after the first couple chapters), plus other people I know who read it didn't even notice—one did, and we both got to stop feeling like we were taking crazy pills when we compared notes. WTF.

All I can figure is a lot of people just skim everything, so are used to filling in lots of narrative gaps in their head or accepting the gist or outcomes of bits that don't make much sense to them and moving on, which would also explain why the quality of the story, characters, and writing aren't something they really notice, if it's all coming through to them rather impressionistically anyway and they're painting the rest of the picture any way they like. I dunno.

TL;DR I find book recommendations nearly useless unless I've got a good sense of how a reviewer's quality-o-meter is calibrated. Star ratings from a broad, general audience are entirely useless.
