No, ethnicities are absolutely not just administrative or cultural groupings. You've clearly done no research into this topic whatsoever and are just repeating some misinformation you got fooled by. Even the classic races which are unnecessarily crude by modern standards do actually partly correspond to distinct genetic groups. We can now classify ethnicities at a much finer level of detail and they're still distinct genetic groups.

Ironically given the article this is under, IQ was considered to be dirty Jewish science by the Nazis, probably because it showed Jews to be superior.
I can appreciate the some of the frustrations many here raise with corporate work culture. However, in reality, you need to sell the value you bring. If you see more junior folk or good folk who don’t highlight their own value, help bring visibility. If you don’t highlight your value and peers you appreciate, you risk it not being recognized. Don’t let the good people lose out in the game. Help get good people promoted and into positions of power.

It might seem that way but, in the US at least, it's a time honed practice with at least 150 years of past practice.

Wait until the company forms a private army to keep staff in line and|or calls in the US army to assist .. even then that'd still be within the pale of the history of US labor relations.

It's not a good move for many reasons but it's not "beyond the pale".
> Am I crazy, or do fines never come close to matching damages?

Fines aren’t intended to replace damages. If they are criminal fines, criminal restitution is also available through the same process. Even where criminal restitution isn’t available or, for whatever reason, pursued, or where the fines are civil, civil damages for those harmed are not precluded by the fines, they are on top of the fines. Fines are punishment, not compensation.

Ask HN: Why is uploading to Google Drive so slow?
I'm attempting to upload 2TB to google drive.

My upload speed is 250mbps, so 200gb should take around 2 hours, but it takes 20h. I've tried on multiple different wifi networks and on different times/days for the past week.

yesterday I tried dropbox app on macOS, and the 200gb directory uploaded in well under 2h.

This differential is abstruse and I have no idea what's going on nor where to get help on this. The tl;dr is I'd like to keep using Google Drive because it's what I'm familiar with, but it seems upload speeds greater than 25mbps are not possible.

I realise I could "just wait". But I much prefer to understand what's going on; if this is a google policy, or if I'm doing something wrong.

FWIW I'm drop and dragging files from macOS to the google drive web interface. (I don't believe google has an official drive app for macOS app as Dropbox has).

Any improvements to my understanding or help on this are greatly appreciated.

It’s similar to Amazon applying the “Disagree but commit” leadership principle to their RTO policy. It suggests that leadership, from the seclusion of their private offices, does not trust employees and prefers to dictate the optimal working conditions without considering individual feedback.
> absurdly, valued about 50% higher than Toyota, and equally absurdly 7 times BMW, which sells 30% more cars. TSLA has a lot of room to decline and still be generously valued.

Tesla has at times been valued at a number higher than Toyota, Volkwagen Group, Hyundai/Kia, General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Fiat Chrysler, Renault, Suzuki, Daimler, BMW, Mazda and Mitsubishi. COMBINED. But wait, there's more, also worth more than all of these AND several Chinese manufacturers: SAID, Geely, Changan, Dongfeng.

The insanity is that this seemed reasonable to a non-negligible portion of the population.

> Allred should be in prison.

The CFPB, like every federal regulatory agency, has only direct civil enforcement powers.

They refer criminal matters to the Department of Justice, which usually takes significantly longer before handing down charges, and does not usually disclose the existence of an open investigation until and unless it issues an indictment.

A fine article on the role of timbre which is indeed discussed little compared to the focus on harmony and form for classical music. Charles Rosen gave one possible reason for this neglect in his book "Piano Notes", where he traces it to a philosophical prejudice of composers from Hadyn onwards against variety in tone colour and in favour of more abstract qualities.

> The utility of the piano for composing was its neutral and uniform tone color: in theory (although not in reality) the tone quality of the bass is the same as the treble. In any case, the change in tone color over the whole range of the piano is, or should be, gradual and continuous (there are breaks, of course, when the notes go from one string in the bass to two and then to three in the treble). The monochrome piano might be used therefore just for its arrangements of pitches, and the quality of the sound could-absurdly in many cases-be considered secondary.

> What made it possible for composers to refuse to acknowledge the difference on the piano between treble and bass and leave whatever problems arose to be solved by the performer was the fact that the change in tone color over the span of the keyboard is not like the leap from a bassoon to a flute but continuous and very gradual when the instrument is properly voiced. These imperceptible gradations are the result of a deliberate policy of a unified sonority on the part of musicians and instrument makers. All attempts over the history of piano construction to incorporate anything analogous to the picturesque changes of registration in the organ and the harpsichord had little success, were not exploited by composers, and were finally abandoned. Radical contrasts of tone color were traded for the possibility of making a gradual crescendo or diminuendo. This was a decision that took place at the same time as the preeminence accorded to the string quartet over all other forms of chamber music; that, too, emphasized the importance of a unified tone color. Chamber music with wind instruments, while the occasion for several masterpieces, became the exception, an exotic form. That is why the use of colorful sonorities in the orchestra has so often been considered somewhat vulgar, as if calling attention to the sound were paradoxically to detract from the music. The prestige given to pure string sonority is part of the asceticism of nineteenth-century high culture. Contrasts of tone color were given a significantly lower place in the hierarchy of musical elements. This is one reason that only the piano repertory rivals the string quartet as the most respectable medium for private and semiprivate music-making from Haydn to Brahms.

> Check your political beliefs at the gate when you walk in

Why? How? It’s unreasonable to suddenly flip a switch and turn off your beliefs when you walk through a gate.

> Every 2 weeks your employer settles their debt to you. This is a transactional relationship.

Agreed but this doesn’t mean…

> If you choose to accept a paycheck, you have to accept the rules and regulations that come with working at that place.

…that you don’t have a say in your company. A company is the sum of the individuals that contribute to it. Some have more sway, especially in leadership, but that doesn’t mean folks can’t band together and influence their work place.

> If the company is doing something illegal, you are welcome to file a whistleblower complaint and take it up with the authorities.

Individual contributors have moral obligation that they are conscious of their contributions. Some groups drill this in: Doctors enforce this through the Hippocratic oath, Canadian engineers have the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer.

However, I believe the obligation applies to everyone. Otherwise, imagine all the atrocities individuals can contribute to by just following orders[0].

The headline misled me into thinking that MGM tried to stop the FTC from investigating. In reality, MGM asked Lina Khan (FTC Chair and one of the five Commissioners) to recuse herself from the investigation due to her apparent conflict of interest:

Franz has a nice RDF triple store. No idea if Cyc uses it but if so that could be a factor.
From my experience, the best performing companies foster a culture of ownership. Owning the features/products you work on, the team you work with, and, to some extent, the company as a whole. The other limit is a completely detached and mercenary workforce. This is also a part of the reasoning behind ESOPs.

The fact that those people didn’t feel like they had any other way of voicing their disagreements with the company’s direction (and having them heard), does not bode well for the long term future of Google. Loosing passionate people that care deeply enough about your company to criticize it is seldom a good thing.

The 28 employees do not own the company. They have no right to make life difficult for everyone else who is happy to work there.

Removing bad actors is good for the other employees on net. I wouldn't want to work at an office where I had no idea if my office or desk would be a safe space.

Calling police is better than private security since each party knows the mediating force is independent and bound by law.
> Just here in HN is progressive to ultra progressive. Any mention of the other side is a sure way to get downvoted to oblivion.

The idea that a forum that's a discussion and PR arm for a venture capital firm is progressive at heart is almost funny. If HN is anything, it's technocratic first, then libertarian to classic liberal matched with business/market friendly, then progressive at whatever margins are left. Plenty of room for someone who can argue non-progressive politics in the first two terms, and people do.

Bubbles are pretty much irrelevant to the question of whether NPR has changed over time. Someone who listened a lot in the 00s and then came back in the last few years is qualified to weigh in on that. And it's not like my comment is a glowing endorsement of NPR.

But assuming reasonable models of how you'd tell I'm in some kind of vacuum isolated from non-progressives... in terms of radio/audio habits alone I also spend a good deal of time listening christian radio networks that occupy the same parts of the dial as public radio stations, Rogan / Friedman and adjacent, I've spent an ungodly amount of time listening to Jordan Peterson although I dialed it way back once he became a vaccine crank and Russian shill. I get lots of whatever Musk and people who are still there because they like the direction he's taking Twitter get. I get lots of exposure from a social circle that has as many conservatives as progressives.

So, why is it you think I might be in a bubble again? Or was that just your rhetorical strategy to say "well your opinion is no less biased than anyone else's, if anything you're the biased one"?

First, that isn't what it's doing. It's regulating the nation-wide market for data, which it can do under the commerce clause.

However, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments apply to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment, which explicitly states that "Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." So state warrant requirements are not completely out of the reach of Congress.

I think this continues to set the precedent that Freedom of Speech is reserved for those who can afford it. For most people, political speech is a liability for your job, which means speaking your mind puts your healthcare, and that of your spouse and kids in jeopardy.

It’s not an accident that the people most outraged about “cancel culture” are far more wealthy than the average Joe. Most people aren’t walking around with the illusion that they can speak out about important things and keep their healthcare.

Free Speech is not a law, it is a concept. The idea is to be able to say what you want, including and especially about powerful groups and people. It doesn’t matter if that group is the Chinese government or Chuck E Cheese. While it is true that Freedom of Speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequences, we still get to decide what those consequences should be.

Not necessarily, fresher or graduate trainee programs are this effectively.

Large companies especially conglomerates do this by hiring freshers and investing in their learning and benefit by paying a bit lesser than the market over the years .
