More like against Chinese and Indian men. That’s where the hiring will go now that these programs are gone.
The article has failed to address the most interesting question: why this spread exists.

The most interesting theory is that it's effectively a "bank rank" on "paper gold" issued by London, i.e. traders may fear that there are significantly more claims on gold than physically exists in London vaults. If this market blows up, it would be the most spectacular failure with very significant consequences for global financial markets.
There's nothing wrong with eviscerating entire industries worldwide. That has been the way that disruptive innovations worked since the start of the industrial age. Adapt or perish.
“Enjoyed” is not the right word either.

For the last 500 years white men have had preferential treatment when it came to hiring. Indeed a stronger word than “enjoyed” is merited. But you think using “enjoyed” is too strong a word to use to describe such a state of affairs?
I wonder if the same problem happens on Android devices too.
It's useful to correct this misunderstanding, because people often take "I've always seen NAT come with firewalling" to mean "firewalls are impossible without NAT".

You quite regularly see people pop up in these threads arguing something like, oh, I dunno, "In IPv6 typically every machine on a LAN is directly connected to the internet with a public IP address. Every one of those machines now needs a full strength internet firewall.", as if this is somehow a problem with IPv6 rather than a problem with their own understanding. It's hard enough to get people to deploy v6 as it is without them mistakenly believing that a lack of NAT means their router can't provide firewalling either.
Like real estate?
The Chinese (on e.g. AliExpress) do this, too. With... mixed results. Small typo's, for example. Intentional (NOKlA) or not. Or, case in point: "NICGIGA is a technology enterprise focusing on communication network products. We have a perfect R&D team and Reliability laboratory."
No. Plenty of people don't have any interest in it.

It just seems like everyone likes it because it's because the new status symbol now that material consumption is looked down on. It's a way to demonstrate your worldliness and check the boxes of the zeitgeist.

But of course plenty of people just like it because it's fun too.
Making Markets on Kalshi
I built a market making algorithm for Kalshi, an event futures exchange. The algorithm dynamically places bids and asks to capture the spread while managing inventory risk. It supports multiple strategies running in parallel, each with its own configuration. The codebase is located at https://github.com/rodlaf/kalshimarketmaker.
The current one is "Musk stole the election by something something voting machines".

Which is, of course, just as stupid as the 2020 MAGA conspiracies. His money sure as shit bought the election, but it wasn't by fucking with the votes.
Some time ago, after going through about five years of terminal connectivity to my job via Slack, I got a new phone and just... didn't reinstall Slack.

You are probably expecting me to start listing off all the benefits, how my life is 127% better, I sleep 42 extra minutes each night and so on.

I wish it were that simple.

The good is that, in the three years I've not had Slack installed on my phone, I've missed important night/weekend events exactly twice - and in both cases, they were improper escalations directly to me (we have a pager rotation for this exact scenario).

The bad news is that I still find myself anxious that I'm missing something - because frankly, I probably am, even if it's low-priority. It's kind of like taking out a loan against tomorrow, where I'll have to catch up on a series of decisions that were made without my involvement, or talk someone through what they _should_ have done when I could've simply led them down the right path.

A long time ago I used an editor called Origami. It had really great folding.

After trying to replicate that exact folding method in many editors, the only editor that did it is vim with the kent extensions.

So... Thank you Bram and thank you to those who made the kent extensions.

Why bother with privacy when I have nothing to hide? (2023)
It also just uses a SQLite db, so you can sync it manually yourself if you want. But their implementation seems pretty secure.

Regardless, I just run it local only on each of my machines, separately. It’s still really helpful!
One difference is that a little upfront work to download the movie is approximately 500 infinities better than the thing glitching out or stopping during playback either due to the streaming platform or your "99.99%" ISP deciding to have its monthly 5 minutes of downtime during the movie.

And then you have stuff like the streaming platform refusing to play because you don't have the absolute latest browser or drivers.

Content is also spread across a dozen streaming platforms, and a lot of back catalog is hardly available too.. so what you say works within the confines of the subscriptions you have.

I've certainly witnessed people going down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out which platform still has the content they want, getting sent on a goose chase from outdated information, only to just give up and torrent it.

Video quality on the torrents is mixed but it's also mixed on the streaming platforms-- both between the platforms and due to bandwidth management on the platforms. With torrents you have file size ~= quality so you have a pretty good idea what you're going to get. Streaming platforms, or at least the ones I'm familiar with (other than youtube) don't seem to give you any direct control of your bandwidth usage. So if you want lower quality to conserve resources you may not be able to get it.

I think the instant catalog in streaming might also cause some people to suffer from choice peristalsis. I've seen people just scroll long enough on netflix that after a bit they don't have time to watch a movie anymore.

I dunno how much I'd argue that it's superior, but it's certainly different and I think it's easy to understand how someone might prefer one or the other.

One test of your conjecture might be: Do people with all-you-can-eat access to a streaming platform ever torrent content that they could just watch on that platform? -- They do.
I use to have a thick book filled with a bunch BASIC game listings. You had to type them in yourself to play.

I remember there was a version of this Star Trek game inside and I had tried it.

I can't remember the title of the book.
Cool your jets. I called a spade a spade, I never said anything about it being natural.
I’d assume that demographics should somewhat match real demographics. If your country is 50% white people and 50% black people, you’d see that in hiring in general with some variance.

You’d probably have to adjust for socioeconomic level etc. It’s no good if all the hires in the low paying jobs are one type of people.

I don’t think it’s impossible to tell even if “99%” is hyperbole.
I think a lot of this “DOGE scenario” couldn’t happen in most of Europe, or Canada, or Australia/New Zealand - due to the US having a presidential instead of parliamentary system of government.

In a parliamentary system, if the Prime Minister wants to merge/abolish/restructure government agencies, it normally just happens - because, most of the time, the Prime Minister can be confident the legislature will vote for any necessary legislation, since the PM’s party/coalition will control the legislature. So, the whole argument that Trump is illegally shutting down government agencies, why would a PM shut something down illegally when they can do it legally? The only exception might be in a minority government scenario, when the PM might not have the votes to get the necessary legislation passed - but, in such a scenario, if they decide to bypass the legislature and shut it down anyway, the legislature likely wouldn’t let them

Similarly, this whole “impoundment” thing - in most parliamentary systems, the executive is under no obligation to spend appropriated funds, and if they decide not to, the legislative majority will not have any problem with it - because, the executive and the legislative majority are basically the same thing. It is only because in the US (and maybe other countries with presidential systems, such as much of Latin America), the legislature gets upset by the executive deciding not to spend appropriated funds, and tries to make it illegal for them to do so. (Although we’ll see what the Supreme Court has to say-don’t be surprised if the current conservative SCOTUS majority decides that the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 is at least partially unconstitutional, or else renders it judicially unenforceable, e.g. using the political question doctrine.)

Many political scientists argue that the presidential system is inferior to the parliamentary, and produces political instability, gridlock, strongman (caudillo) rule. For a long time, while much of Latin America suffered from many of those problems, the US escaped them - whether due to wealth, cultural protective factors, or just plain good luck. However, with the return of caudillo Trump (arguably in his second term acting even more like a caudillo than in his first) and now the “DOGE scenario”, maybe the US’s luck has finally run out, and its politics are at last turning Latin American.
I think it was mainly about not losing face internally when the separatists would have been defeated. Like, there was a bridge. Water can be piped. The port in Sevastopol was big enough. Etc. And there is no way some mines can repay all the costs just as the invasion of Iraq wouldn't be repaid by Iraqi oil ever.
> But if you're going to claim that most of Texas only drops below 100 for winter, you're going to need a citation.

I didn't intend to imply that. I'm not insane, I literally live in Texas. I know it gets under 100 during the summer. I'd be shocked if anywhere in the world spent a single 24 hour period over 100 most years.

I was being hyperbolic, but not by much. In 2023, Houston saw 97 days over 95 degrees. Dallas saw 84, San Antonio 110 days, Austin 109. For most of those days, the low is still over 70. It gets to around half the year in most of the major population centers if you lower it to 85 degrees. Los Angeles only rarely gets over 100 days over 85 and SF almost never sees more than 100 days.

The practical effect is the same - you generally run your AC nearly 24/7 to keep your living areas below 80 degrees from April through November. It was already in the high 80s last week in a lot of the state.
> Requirements from smart people are the most dangerous, because people are less likely to question them.

This is just absolutely silly. What other reasonable ways are there to create requirements?
>This seems less like a country losing a war and more like the US and Russia partnering in an attempt to impose an unfavorable deal on Kyiv.

I dont understand the difference here. Losing a war usually comes with unfavorable terms.

Ukraine is absent from table because durable military power is the table stakes, and they were always a proxy. If the US has decided it is done using Ukraine to bloody Russia's nose and scare Europe into line, then it's basically over.

From the US real politik perspective, it was always a win-win situation going in. The US will walk away with 2 new NATO allies, increased NATO spending, and severed trade with Russia.

I don’t see how you’ve arrived at marathons having any specific norms. No doping and no assault is pretty universal. Can you explain it better?

The point was that speed runners are not operating with different ethics than any other competition, or society in general. “Anything goes” isn’t accurate as a description, and the top poster maybe didn’t realize that suggesting that exploiting game glitches somehow represented flexible ethics might be a bit presumptuous and patronizing, and also incorrect. It’s interesting to me that people would assume otherwise.
I just completed a round of research on this category of devices and decided to give the "Kody 21" [K21] a try. They're known as "田螺云厨" on the "TaoBao" platform, or "Kitchen Idea" outside of it. There's also a few other names like "Tokit", "乐小美", "tineco". Waiting for shipment, let's see what happens.

My main use case is for (A) weekly meal preps and (B) quick veg-meat stir-fry, steaming in a small apartment context.

Given that I can access the "TaoBao" universe, I couldn't justify the cost-functionality-ecosystem ratio of a Thermomix TM6.

I observe the following notable pointers in the current generation of this category of device on the "TaoBao" platform

- They can all reach 180C or 160C. For Asian stir fry dishes, this is great. the manual mode for the TM6 allows only 120C.

- Almost all can do a cook up with timers of 12-24 hours. For some reason, TM6 seems to only allow you 99 mins.
- Most units spins up to 10-12k RPM, TM6 spins up to 10k rpm. about the same.

- Price ranges from 391 USD to 1926 USD.

- On the higher end, you can get a 3L main bowl. Awesome for my use case. TM6 is at 2.2L

At the lower end, i.e. the K21:

- 2L main bowl which is enough.

- you don't get a built in scale but ... I am not sure if it's that much of an inconvenience.
- the blade only rotates one direction, hence the need for the tools. Some recipes would necessitate a "tool change". You can't exactly replicate the "throw in and cook" process of TM6.

- K21 tool change is awkward. the tool and the tool core are essentially one.

- Interestingly, there is a K29 from the same company with quick tool change ability (without taking out the core. the seller confirmed both are cross compatible) I'd just have to fork an additional ~70USD for the set of tools that I am interested in, which doesn't feel that bad.

- gets up to 10k RPM but not that relevant for my use case.

- You don't get the awesome ecosystem (paid subscrip) of TM6. Thermomix is way ahead on this. At the risk of my own gastronomic enjoyment, to supplement this, I'm looking forward to using gpt based LLM services to discover and translate recipes from TM6 to the K21

- its mostly metal accessories: pots for steaming, simmer basket. I don't really fancy the idea of anything plastic in a high heat application like cooking.

- Given where I bought it from, the UI is chinese only. Seller claims that its got more recipes on the international variant. we'll see.

- At this price, I could get 2 x K21 and still be half the price of a TM6. If it eventually becomes a workhorse, having 2 x K21 will be better for parallezing my cooking / doing bigger batches of meal preps, than having a single expensive TM6.

Looking at the new TM7

- the corrugated wall of the main bowl design seems to have increased overall surface area, and possibly better heat transfer?

- the lock mechanism of TM6 could crush fingers. I am glad they got rid of it.

- steam basket is still non metal.

"Falling" according to a literal shit posing car salesman
If that's true, then where did all the order that is there come from? Lots of open questions in that regard, plenty to agonize over.
Fair fair. I guess the most important thing is that you pick one style of efficient command line searching and editing and run with it.
> i’m very familiar with the arguments around DEI/AA. as i said in a different comment, i’m in favor of limited AA.

You were saying "maybe that’s okay, but that is absolutely what it means".
Now you are saying that DEI/AA is not preferential, some applications of it are.

> but if we look at the data from universities, the “correction” is clearly far in excess of any bias by race against same score candidates

You cannot easily compare such numbers, and in this case, "clearly far in excess" is just totally subjective. This is typically where biases and cognitive dissonance are the most easy to creep in.

> There might be merit to the claim but it does also mean that the end result is you are picking worse candidates “on paper” on the basis of their skin color.

But if you don't apply any correction, you are picking worse candidates "on paper" on the basis of their skin color.

That the fundamental flaw of people who are so vocal about the over-correction of DEI/AA: they care a lot about over-correcting but don't seem to care that much about under-correcting. Over-correcting is a big injustice, under-correcting is just something that may happen, hey, what can you do, right?
A great feature, Android has this also
> I feel the same way. The past is just the direction where things were more ordered (to be glib about it.)

The only problem is that this ignores the fact that we still don't know WHY entropy was lower in the past. It's an open question in physics.
"...suggesting that time’s arrow may not be as fixed as we experience it."

> It’s now usually cheaper for me to do two rides a day on rideshare than to rent a car for a week.

That's a big thing too. Whenever I have to rent a car, I go for the cheapest option, and that usually ends up being no lower than $60/day (plus taxes). If I only need it for a couple rides per day, that could very easily cost less. Plus I don't need to deal with gas, parking, or returning the car, worry about damaging the car, or ensure that I haven't had alcohol to drink before those trips.

I don't have time to get into it every time that guy's name comes up.

Basically he's best known for:

* Jargon file

* Parading himself around as "Mr open source" in the late 90s

* Working on what by all accounts was a not very good mail client a long time ago

That's the "good" side that's supposed to give him credibility as an expert, and it's not very much. The negative stuff is pretty bad.

Yeah, you found a different synonym.
Prolog is such a bizarre language. Part of my undergraduate studies involved learning about various programming paradigms (and new languages) and that included SWI prolog. We covered it as an example of logic programming, in the 21st century, and to this day I do not understand how it remains in current memory.

I've been told it historically was used for machine learning research, but at least lisp had a more natural structure.

I'd like to describe it as programming using a single yet very long ternary operator chain. But I don't think I'm proficient enough to say so.
If you design a webpage that looks like an app loading screen, and have to put the word "SCROLL" at the bottom, I think that's a design failure, for the same/similar reasons that "click here" links are.

I am a “crypto adherent” who champions decentralized networks and byzantine-fault-tolerant protocols, and I have been using strongly pushing for the original narrative of trustless smart contracts cutting out the middleman. I think there are many use cases for it.

This theory came up years ago when sites such as ZeroHedge were claiming JP Morgan controls a precious metals international scam and there isn’t enough physical gold or silver to cover everything. People were told to buy as much physical gold and silver as possible because it was all about to burst. Silver went to $50 and then collapsed and it was never mentioned again.

Is this theory back doing the rounds?
Huh, that'd be interesting. I'll try that out.

You mean so it'd be persistent/visible with the scroll?
Interesting, is not there on my galaxy fold
I'm really enjoying the discussion on how shuffle means different things to different people (I personally prefer random, but implementing `shuffle` specifically sounds fun with all of this)

> You insert each item into a random position among the remaining items

Thinking about shuffle + adding, I would have thought "even if it's added to a past position", e.g.

`5 4 6 21 3` as valid.

What do folks expect out of shuffle when it reaches the end? A new shuffle, or repeat with the same permutation?
Well, everything seems to be different nowadays.

My guess is it's not that different. But I've been wrong every time I tried to predict the US on this leadership...
