Cancer is a numbers game. Unlike say, blackjack, you only know about certain risk factors. Many are unknown.

With skin cancer, getting a sunburn every two years triples your risk of developing melanoma. With the fairest skin types, even a single severe burn can increase risk if melanoma. Other skin cancers tend to result from constant exposure over time.

I don’t know much about this scenario with hair product. But if you have some other risk factors, it’s not unreasonable that a single exposure may result in a bad outcome.
Most database schemas at Google have exactly two "columns": a primary key column, and an "Info" column which contains a large protobuf. The difference between that and a simple K/V store, though, is that the storage engine is building indices and columnar data stores under the hood that make it perform as if it had been defined with all the fields as flattened columns, but you never actually have to declare a schema in any detail. That cuts down dramatically on tooling and release nonsense - there's nothing like a Rails migration script, because the only update you're likely to do is "sync to latest proto definition". It also means that you have all the semantics of a protocol buffer to define your data structure - oneofs to express optionality, and submessages to group fields together - which simply don't exist in a normal DBMS.
One thing with Upwork, and I was helping a project awhile back where this was the case, someone with a high tech social profile will post. They will outsource the work to someone at a much lower rate. The last of these projects I was involved in, the individual had a very high dev advocate type profile, the outsourcing was to Pakistan. Rather than outing things, I just chalked it up to learning and being more aware for future such projects.

> their descendants

Or themselves since plenty of the victims were alive. This was a single event that lasted ~4 years with comparatively very good records.

Slavery lasted for several hundreds years, there are not records for most slaves and even cases where they can identified good luck tracking down all of their descendants. That's several magnitudes more complex, to an incomparable extent.

> Figure out how much the labor was worth

So do you need to find specific ancestors who were slaves and the payout would be based on how long did they work for? So... somebody who's great-great-great-great-grandfather died when he was 72 years old would receive twice as much than someone who's ancestor only lived to 36?

Of course you'll be especially lucky if you can find any ancestors who were shipped to the America in the 1600s. I bet slaveholders kept perfect record, especially back in those days.

Then you have to figure out how to split the payout between 50 to 1000 (un)verifiably descendants of the same individual or will be on first come first serve basis?

All this just seems so bizarrely impractical that I can't believe anyone would seriously suggest it after spending more than 2-5 minutes thinking about how would it work.

> The more interesting claim, which this blog post doesn't address, is that dynamic typing plus unit testing lets you produce working programs faster,

That's an interesting question for any program or app in the move-fast-break-things domain. But perhaps a suboptimal, and potentially inaccurate, one for high-assurance systems that can't break without losing substantial financial value or lives, and/or for which system-wide refactoring may be necessary as the system evolves. Know your domain, choose your tools and methodologies appropriately.
Yeah, more importantly: until cities are 100% EV, I wouldn't worry about rural. Realistically, we can probably just never worry about it: there are far more cars used in cities then in the country.

In a case where you're trying to get emitted CO2 to zero, you'd probably prefer to just subsidize ethanol and renewable diesel to manage super-long haul to get their - too many tractors and other equipment we also need to run.
The better the type system is, the more bugs it prevents, so one has to spend less time unit testing. Sadly, it also means the language is harder to learn, so the rest of us are stuck with horrible, unsafe languages.

Disagree. It is not the states job to raise foster kids. It’s the states job to match them with families that want to take them in and care for them like their own. There’s a line a mine long of people that are desperate to adopt but have to job through endless hoops.

Fix the adoption system and stop needlessly expanding the state and taking on more clients.
It takes privilege to be able to afford those luxuries that I can assure you many disabled individuals cannot afford. Those without get by with help from others.

Cabs are more popular with the disabled over Uber because the driver will get out and help seeking a better tip. Calling a restaurant vs using UberEats app is easier for some types of disabilities and easier for the elderly. Many disabled can go shopping or have government services to physically go for them.
I thought this was a revenge play for Musk and he planned to destroy it. He blamed Twitter for his child at least he really seemed to leading up to the purchase. A bigger Hulk vs Gawker.

But even a degraded social media platform is more powerful than owning an entire sports league.

Well, there's astrology and astrology.

The newspaper astrology that is so broad you can't take it seriously.

Then there's the birth horoscope z the natal chart and whatever which is, believe it or not, more accurate.

Astrology is also the oldest form of psychology, it's easily accessible and popular because of it.

> actions targeting minorities end up overlapping a lot with poverty

Yes, but they also have a false positive rate (rich minorities) and a false negative rate (poor white people) that is much higher than a properly administered means test.

Given this, and given how controversial race-based affirmative action is, it's worth questioning whether attempting to sort based on race as a sort of shortcut to sorting based on economics is doing more harm than good. If we could implement a race-blind affirmative action program that got bipartisan support, could we not solve poverty faster than if we continue to alienate one side by insisting on excluding poor white people?

> The main reason it's relatively easy to target skin color is, well, visuals. Another can of worms in and of itself, but for the most part it's pretty easy to look at a certain minorities and pin them as such.Meanwhile financials are private and it's not like every millionaire is driving a fancy car with a suit and tie.

Why should a goal of an affirmative action system be to be able to make the accept/reject call based on a quick glance at the applicant's photo?

We already ask college students to provide an assessment of their means for the FAFSA, and about 3/4 do so. It's not long or complicated, and I see no reason why a similar system couldn't be used for a means-based admissions process.
I want manufacturers to be mandated to retrofit new technology to some portion existing vehicles. I have two 5-7yo Toyota hybrids and would love to have a better battery technology to replace the NIMH batteries when the time comes. There are aftermarket Li-ion batteries, but I’d love a third party solution that would convert these into PHEVs. I only have a 8 mi per day commute, and would basically never need to buy gas with a PHEV. With one of these solid-state battery packs, I could even take longer trips all electric. I’d probably pay $15k per vehicle for this.

Velociraptors were roughly turkey sized. I doubt one could eat a healthy human. The Jurassic Park "raptors" were badge-engineered Deinonychus.

There's a smaller predator, larger prey phenomenon I find fascinating, and it has to do with how a modern dinosaur -- the peregrine falcon -- takes its prey. It literally falcon-punches its victim -- diving at high speed to strike with a closed talon. It can make a meal of a bird about twice its size this way, though usually it feeds on pigeons, other small birds, and the occasional small reptile or mammal.

Physical attractiveness correlates with many good things like fertility and genetic health. Not to mention beautiful people benefit from the halo effect. The causality there though is likely that the relative superiority of attractive persons causes the halo effect to exist. There’s a pretty obvious set of mechanisms that offer causal reasons why attractiveness leads to better outcomes.

As for the presidential fitness exam, well that’s true but quite facile. Much like how people who have taken the Wonderlic test are considerably more likely than the general populace to be or have been in the NFL.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if taking aptitude tests at all regardless of score predicts above average outcomes because of a selection effect.
It absolutely is? They wrote this piece, and context matters because it can shed light many things, including hypocrisy. In this case, the commenter is pointing out just that.

>I don't see where it could possibly be justifiable to discriminate against Asians

I just did. You don't have to accept that justification, but I don't imagine it's an uncommon sentiment. There's a difference between not getting into Harvard but pretty still having a dozen top universities of choice and barely even getting out of high school because your area's education was under-funded due to historical factors.

I don't know the historical factors that lead to Asian-Americans being so successful in comparison to other minorities, but it's clear they need less help as a whole compared to other minorities. There's your justification.

>It's almost as if they are being punished for ruining the narrative through their own hard work

You can interpret it that way. You can also say that the AA is starting to focus more on those who need it, and Asians seem to need it the least as of now.

>force people to admit that other minorities being underrepresented at Ivy League colleges is due to something other than just "systemic racism".

So what are you suggesting? Again, my Asian american history is very superficial, but I think it's hard to deny that it's a shorter history than African or Mexican American history in this context.

> it does need to mourn the death of the hatchet job.

I despise hatchet jobs. They may not be as common in literary reviews any more, but they absolutely have taken over most popular internet media. Youtube is full of dunk reviews of absolutely everything, dripping with sarcasm and often targeted at anything even remotely unconventional or provocative.

I can't remember who said it but I took the advice to only listen to critics who lead you to something, not away from it. For one it is more actionable and useful to get advice on what to read rather than what not to read, and also scathing criticism is often more about the reviewer than it is about the subject they're writing on.
America is the most charitable country in the world[1]. But, as evidenced by the parent's comment, there is no shortage of people willing to spend other people's money, and Americans are justifiably cautious of that.

You're hopelessly naive and haven't read even a few hours into the economic ramifications of 0 zero fossil fuels in the current global economy. Their products are embedded into everything and many simply don't have alternatives. Our best hope is to account for the fossil fuel externalities such that their use (probably at a significant reduction) accurately pays to remedy the consequences. There is no world you'd want to live in with 0 fossil fuels.

Cost is never immaterial. We look at the various ways we have to provide fresh water, and do whatever is cheapest. If shipping fresh water from places where it's abundant to places where it's scarce is cheapest, we do that. If/when that becomes expensive enough to make desalination attractive from a cost perspective, we start doing that. If the >230m below the surface idea turns out to be cheaper than surface level plants, we do that. But I don't think anyone really knows for sure if the underwater method could be cheaper, so we're all just guessing here.

I think a good analogy for this is oil extraction. These days we extract oil from places where it's more expensive and difficult to do so, because we can no longer meet demand with the cheaper options (many of which have simply dried up over time). But we'd never go after the expensive-to-extract oil 40 years ago (or whatever) when cheaper options were available that could meet demand.
AGESA is updated every few months and a number of motherboard vendors track those changes with BIOS updates. The updates can often contain pretty substantial changes, like resizable BAR support.

Further: I'm typing this on a Macbook Pro which is running right now only because I was able to pull the bootrom (which is UEFI), add a NVME driver from a newer Macbook Pro, package it back up, and flash it back to the older Macbook Pro.

This let me use an NVME drive in a machine released before they added NVME support to that system's bootrom. The only side effect was that the OS didn't fully support NVME standby modes so power consumption was slightly higher, but even that was fixed in a later OS update which was released after NVME drives were in several models.

with the decline of organised religion amongst Western Europeans, astrology is one way they fill that void

> Those are universities and not colleges. Cãnada College, Foothills college, De Anza College are examples of “community colleges”.

Community colleges are rarely described as "state colleges." The latter refers to state-backed higher education institutions, from De Anza College to the University of Pennsylvania.

The delineation between colleges and universities varies regionally. Nowhere does it solely signify exclusivity. In America, there is an accreditation difference that largely pertains to graduate school.
