DEI programs typically implemented in US companies are considered constitutionally illegal in other parts of the world, such as in France. Giving preferential treatment based on protected characteristics is not allowed in France, for ex. preferring a female hire over male, to meet female quotas.
> woke to collapse

What does that even mean? "Woke" is such a non-sense word these days that you really need to be more specific.
But you make a strange comment here: "black and brown" employees are both completely different people.

What you should want in priority is to get the descendents of former slaves to have a prominent place in society, include them as equals and make them powerful. I can understand that, they built the US same as the other invaders, and maybe even the natives should be more present in american society.

But brown ? Im French, and sadly not brown, I wish I was ofc, but why would an Indian from Calcutta be more "diverse" than me from Normandy ? Skin color is as interesting as hair color, it means nothing. Say "descendent of slaves", Indians and Europeans if you want to rank people by order of priority, maybe ?

For me that's why these DEI things are wrong, they're racist in a way. They divide people across skin color boundaries that make no sense.
I did forget about lawyers, the other stereotypical Iranian-American career that isn't STEM. The part of my family from Iran jokes about this a lot, saying even lawyers unofficially go by the title "doctor" because of the status it holds, idk if that's true.

Even "properly" aligned headlights are a problem on trucks, because they're too high to begin with.

PureRGB [1] is a very comprehensive hack that fixes a bunch of bugs from the original game and adds a bunch of new content. All of the elementary school playground rumors are implemented as well like Bill's backyard, Mew being under the S.S.

At big tech company I used to work for ($3T) they did this in 2017, and my manager did not give a single offer to a man in years even when everyone said hire, and the next 14 of 14 offers were to women, several minorities, despite many having barely any “hire” votes.

This is the answer, you're expecting a South Korean show to depict US problems, because culture is invisible if you're in it. These problems don't exist in many countries (e.g. here in Greece we have free education and healthcare, so you can't have student loans or medical debt).

I'll make some controversial statements.

I had odd thrombosis-like bouts in my legs after each of my first two Pfizer shots, and during one after the second round, the leg issue (I mean, you could feel the bump) subsided yet also resulted in my sigmoid sinus (in the ear) completely blowing out leading to pulsative tinnitus [0]. What was more curious was that the Ear specialist who actually fixed my problem was 'curiously cautious' in that he more or less said he thought the vax was the best thing overall yet had seen a huge uptake in patients with curious verifiable issues afterwards.

My gut says we won't see anything about the real impacts until all legal liability has elapsed...

And yes I've been boosted since then, I just think we haven't been told enough.

They should really do a photometric study of headlights shining at a wall at a specified distance and take the average footcandles across the area being measured instead of measuring a specific spot.

> Sexism and racism are both very real and objectively quantified

Outcome differences are real and quantified. Your preferred explanations for the differences are not. Racism and sexism are not the most parsimonious explanations for the majority of outcome variance. We know this because there are shallower nodes in the causal graph you can condition on and race/sex disappears as an outcome predictor.
> To the anti-DEI crowd: focus on what you can build together

The problem with DEI-as-implemented is that it often not only contains overt discrimination against a group (based on a protected class), but also prohibits any criticism of this. When someone is being discriminated against, not subtly or silently but explicitly, intentionally and overtly, and then punished for daring to complain about it, that leads to a lot of resentment (both by the people directly affected and by other members of the same class that observe both the discrimination and the silencing).

I'd say that resentment is justified; unfortunately, I suspect the backlash will primarily hit the people that the DEI policies were supposed to help, rather than the perpetrators of the discrimination.

That's a 50% increase. Seems pretty successful to me.

> but never really actually cared about the outcomes

To be clear, I'm referring to the outcomes of the DEI programs in and of themselves; not the outcomes that resulted from having those programs (and/or appearing to have them). And to be clear - some C-suites really might have cared about the programs because they believed in them.

> It's very cynical to think executives have no goals or ideologies beyond enriching themselves.

I disagree, wholeheartedly. The majority of executives have shown, time and again, that they primarily care about money. A close second is power. It's not to say that they don't have goals beyond enriching themselves, but rather that does appear to be the goal they overwhelmingly choose when said values are in conflict.
> may disadvantage my business by making my own products (build from their components) worse

One of the biggest wins for the anti-DEI crowd was convincing people that embracing DEI implicitly meant getting something of lesser quality or value.

You mean Imane Khelif? If so, you've been misinformed.

Khelif does not identify as trans, and described such accusations as "a big shame for my family, for the honor of my family, for the honor of Algeria, for the women of Algeria and especially the Arab world."

The evidence indicates that Khelif is a male with a disorder of sex development - not a male with a transgender identity.

And odor. Kimchee taste really does work itself into things in the fridge.

I recall a roommate from decades ago (son of Korean immigrants) mention that his parents always kept a small side fridge / mini-fridge for the kimchee, so everything else in the standard fridge wouldn't adopt the flavor -- I think a comment of his was "kimchee flavored butter is not pleasant."
> The US spends more per student than any other country, by a lot. Money is very clearly not the problem.

I've heard this, but will fully admit I don't know how real this is. For one, the US generally has the highest COL in the world, so it's bound to spend more per student than any other country. Moreover, the general concern I've seen is that badly funded school districts in the US are much worse off than well funded school districts. Moreover gender disparities are not as bad in well funded school districts.

With one new exception (food delivery), I still tip/no-tip with the same basic policy I've always had.

If there's individualized face-to-face service involved where even a small conversation is required, I tip unless the service is grossly negligent.

If not, I don't tip.

- Restaurant servers, hosts, and bartenders? 20% minimum
- Barber? 30% minimum
- Tailor? 30% minimum
- Movers, Skycaps, & Maids? 25% minimum
- Food Delivery? Now no.
- Point of Sale? No.

Growing up, I used to generously tip all pizza drivers, but that's changed with the advent of ubiquitous food delivery apps like Grubhub and Instacart where there's a middleman between you and the business that made the food.

>> If your VM is compromised, no hardening will save your data

> So that means layered security is totally meaningless and instead of keeping it default, let's remove mitigations?

Security in depth is definitely important, but it would provide a smaller improvement compared with the virtualization. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater by refusing to use Qubes without hardening. Also, Qubes developers do have plans to implement more hardening: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5294, https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5461, https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8823 etc.

> Each of those dedicated VMs would need their own AppVMs at least.

This would provide more security in depth but if you never run installed software in your AppVMs, it would still be reasonably secure.

The product itself is very good, but the sales process is truly awful. Random calls with non-technical reps unable to answer basic questions like, "now that you've added this to my GCP account for 2 weeks, how much is this going to cost?" They'd say they're not sure but they have a startup deal with $xxxx minimum commit for 12 months gets you two months of extra trial, cancel anytime no questions asked. It's not just bad, it's comically bad.
Very Wrong Math
I actually think mitigations are real, but economics of the situation is broken. Right now buying and installing really bright headlights is cheap while not blinding people with really bright headlights is expensive I don't see this changing any time soon. I don't really like the situation, but enforcing max headlight brightness is far easier than enforcing not other blinding people.

The whole situation with headlight regulations relying on smart headlights and calibration feels like plastics recycling. It is a neat idea which runs head first into unworkable economics.

This was a freak event with record wind speeds so basic fire prevention couldn’t help short of bulldozing every other house in the affected neighborhoods and salting the earth. After the Camp fire and the lightning complex fires, California insurers got really serious about fire insurance inspections and mitigation. Problem is that normal mitigation like setbacks and vulcan vents don’t help when Santa Ana winds send fist sized burning embers for up to a mile in front of the fire. Only really expensive and ecologically problematic measures like external Phos-Chek sprinklers would help in that case, which is what saved a few celebrity hokes in the Palisades.

Only well funded commercial and government campuses like JPL or the Getty can afford the kind of fire suppression measures required to defend against a conflagration of this magnitude.

It is known that the physical strength distributions of women and men have very little overlap. Only the strongest of women are stronger than the weakest of men. This matters because firefighters are usually selected with physical tests, and most men would fail these tests. If women can pass the same tests, obviously they should be selected. As said in the video, 5% of firefighters are women, which sounds fine.

However, this is not what DEI is about. DEI is about seeing that 5% as a too small number, and trying to increase the number by lowering standards for women. Letting everyone apply is enough.

I recommend reading the WaPo article that goes along with it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/28/minoritie...

Bloomberg's choosing to misrepresent the data here - this is not about jobs added, it's about changes in the employment composition.

Simple example: Company X has 950 white and 50 POC employes. 10% leave over the year (95 white, 5 POC). They hire 200 more at an even split (50% white, 50% POC). They now have 1100 people, 955 white, 145 POC. So they've gained net 100 folks - and the net change is +5 white, +95 POC. Voila, 95% people of color hired.

It's still a pretty stunning change with a large ramp up in hiring of POC, but it's much less an indicator of preferential hiring than the Bloomberg framing makes it sound.
I always wonder about the math in these more complex card games, and whether it would be possible to calculate like it is in poker. Specifically, is the game fair for all players starting from a random set of cards? For example in Cuttle, if you get two Kings in your hand, do the chances of winning shift slightly, or skyrocket?

I guess this is why play testing when creating new games can take a long time - both for enjoyment and fairness.

Interesting comment. Any thoughts on what you can use now?
The EU generally places better mitigations on headlight glare, and their vehicles aren't any more expensive. It would be pretty easy to regulate: "if they're over [x] brightness, then you must have these mitigations"

But the other problem of maintenance will probably always be a problem because most states are reluctant to burden their driving constituency with any inspection/enforcement program worth a damn.
