"The modern man does what he can so that he doesn't have to walk, doesn't have to lift heavy things, doesn't have to sweat, doesn't have to meet others in person, doesn't have to take responsibility, doesn't have to love, doesn't have to hate, doesn't have to care, doesn't have to cook and even doesn't have to eat! So in the end he doesn't have anything! He has no life left as it all has been artificially removed from him so that he could just do nothing, accomplish nothing, think nothing, be nothing and live not and be comfortably nothing. Comfort is death. Life is a struggle. Life is a messy, unsanitary and trigger tripping struggle."
Quickbooks seems to be moving away from being about managing financial books and more about offering services that integrate with a company's books (payroll, invoicing, etc).

I run a business without Accounts Receivable and just need a reliable way to keep books. However, it is not a simple business. We have multiple revenue centers (departments or classes), multiple bank accounts, and multiple cash accounts. Intuit seems to be moving away from companies like mine (oh, and I use a Mac).

I was really excited when they moved Quickbooks Online to a more modern interface. Unfortunately they made some frequent tasks (browsing our chart of accounts) much more difficult that it used to be. Invoicing is much more prominent though.

It is incredible that in American melting pot, there are some races that are constantly manipulated for political ends, and others are not. And witness: those races that are left alone, and not made into an issue, do quite well.

Can someone explain the logic behind the 'showdead' feature design to me? When you enable it, it makes it so you see dead comments--but it styles them with the same kind of hard-to-read style that is used for heavily down voted comments.

I first assumed this was a bug and reported it on the issue tracker. It was closed on the grounds that it is working as intended.

Why give me an option to make dead content visible, and then purposefully make it hard for me to actually read the now visible content?
And it simply must support overstrike since that is no longer a display problem. The simplification of the keyboard that results is amazing. I've always been surprised that overstrike did not re-emerge with "bit mapped displays" and printers.

I started APL on a Selectric typewriter with the dancing type ball at IBM in 1967. The sounds of that demo still resonate more than I would have ever expected.

In 1975 I was using it to teach myself numeric signal processing. I think I learned it more deeply and quickly because of APL. One didn't so much code functionality as simply express what one wanted to see the consequences of. APL made exploration so easy you couldn't help it.

Had IBM had any idea what to do with APL, Matlab would simply not exist.
Likewise, Tibetans living in India and Nepal are not Indian or Nepali (if these are ethnicities). Nepalis living in Bhutan are not Bhutanese.

Possibly. At any rate, the loss/gain of Soylent is all about the type of person you are. I don't expect someone who doesn't see the appeal/desire of Soylent, to enjoy drinking it.. Rob didn't intend for that.. it's supposed to be cheap, neutral, and healthy. Nothing more, nothing less.

With that said, i'm super excited for it, and i've been drinking DIY "Soylent" for a few days now, since i'm getting impatient waiting for official soylent, and i couldn't be happier. It's everything i wanted. Once the official stuff gets here, i'll spend even less time preparing, and in theory it will taste better too (mainly less grit).
It's grammatically correct, read the whole sentence. It just looks odd when you take half the sentence out of context.

American Indians tend to prefer the term "American Indian" to "Native American". The term "Native American" was invented by white liberals to make themselves feel better.
You gotta think global. Han Chinese make up almost 20% of the world's population. Calling us the 'minorities' seems pretty laughable.

There's actually lots of dispute about this--substantial numbers, perhaps a majority, of... indigenous people prefer American Indian to Native American, since the latter sounds like something a government bureaucrat would dream up. A fairly radical and influential group exists that embraces that name, the American Indian Movement.

What!? There were plenty of Chinese and Vietnamese (+ Hmong and so on) who came over during the Vietnam and Chinese-Vietnam wars as refuges who, like most displaced peoples, had (and still have) many social and economic problems; e.g. gang violence that you normally wouldn't associate with upper class Asians.

> I think it would be equally appalling for it to fire, stop hiring, or hire fewer whites as well.

You think it would be? How have we got to the point where racism has to be rhetorically hedged in?

In the UK, not only is it illegal to hire on the basis of race, but it's also deeply taboo. I like to think that a UK company would not have the racial data on their employees to compile such statistics.

I hear a lot about "white males" from supposed leftists, and frankly it disgusts me. There is a large amount of casual racism that oozes from the American left under the guise of "equality".
I don't believe the TrueCrypt license allows this kind of redistribution, does it?

Then again, with anonymous developers and unknown jurisdiction, it may be moot.
The fact that Soylent tastes terrible should hardly be a surprise considering that none of the team behind this product has education/experience in food technology (http://www.rosalabs.com/team/). Shouldn't that be a red flag for investors, considering ample availability of experience in such industries?

Vivint is more of an ADT competitor. They are a security/automation company with monthly fee model.

It is clear they have spent alot of money buying links from their profile, but so has ADT.

A more fitting question would be why ADT hasn't also been penalized.
One then has to ask what does it mean that there are racial inequality? It is not in general, it has to be constrained to a particular domain.

Say look at customers in a store and notice there is inequality, more people of a certain race visit it. What does it mean? Should something be done about it? Then, there is like you said, prisons. There is something disturbing going on, and something has to be done there, more urgently, than say figure out why there is racial misrepresentation at that one mall or store.

Ok two extremes. What about Google? There is racial inequality at Google. What does it mean? Should something be done about it? Should Google hire based on racial profiles. Minority X gets Y slots based on some weighted criteria. Will that solve anything? Will it make things worse. Should anything be done at all at Google? Is that a big priority. Should we be looking at prisons instead...
I was not aware of those, thanks for the links!

I posted this in a flippant comment already, but it bears worth reiterating that Vivint, or someone friendly to Vivint, also sockpuppet-edited their Wikipedia page, in such an egregious fashion that since March 2014 (not long after Google's alleged action), Vivint's Wikipedia entry has a banner-warning:

Node's big advantage (some would say disadvantage) is that it uses JavaScript (or languages that compile to JavaScript). There's a good ecosystem around it. However, let's face it, the whole asynchronous thing is a pain - even if you use the async library or promises or whatever. Node enthusiasts would say that the asynchronous thing is necessary for great performance, but the reality of it is that there are plenty of languages that outperform Node without using asynchronous calls: Java, C++, Go, even raw PHP without a framework in some cases (see http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r8&hw=i7...). Another reality is that most sites don't even need such high-performing languages. Instagram with its 200 million users uses Python, and Facebook used "normal" (uncompiled) PHP up until the point when they had 500 million users.
Well, disadvantaged minorities also exist in China; e.g. Uighurs in Guangzhou.

2. The problem when you talk about the data is that you fix yourself on numbers, you try to set objectives and you end up with quota, instead of actually understanding that's the underlying problem.

They actually haven't. The closest is "booster shakes" which you can use to replace a lunch, here and there. But that's it. None of them say you can stop eating food all together.

I've sat down and done the research and tried to find a single one that would actually say you could use it as a meal replacement, and there aren't any. The only thing really are ones that they keep coma patients alive with, which isn't exactly something a normal every day person could use and stay active. But they would advertise it, just a hint at it, then the fine print says otherwise.
> I wonder how much it'd shock Eugene if someone pointed it out to him that, in American racial discourse, Irish and Italian folk were once considered "not white."

The title of his article is "How the Asians became white" which as Eugene pointed out in the comments, is an allusion to "How the Irish Became White," by Noel Ignatiev.

So it wouldn't shock him at all, that's his point.
You need to start planning, and most importantly, changing your mindset. You need to treat this job as temporary and convince yourself that, sometime soon, will be your final day. Imagine yourself going into her office with your resignation letter. Imagine this every day.

Now once you can see yourself with that resignation letter, starting right now, think about what you need to do during this period to prepare yourself for this day.
Why should what matter? Google's composition? That wasn't the main point of the piece at all.

"How can we be a supposedly post-racial society and yet ..."

We simply are not a post-racial society, not by a long way. The way to get there is not to pretend that we are and hope it all goes away. Google's data is just more information that can be used in the discussion. It is not particularly surprising, though. I think that their publication of it is more significant that the data itself, in this case.

You should refactor your code to use PDO.
They've explicitly said that they are seeking to reduce the surface area for bugs by initially removing cross platform compatibility, and then exposing what primitives the OS needs to supply to make it possible to port. This seems like a much much saner approach to me than trying to work through every quirk in every operating system known to man in the one project itself. Any OS that doesn't implement any of the primitives can legally go and take OpenBSD's implementation and use it if necessary (and hopefully contribute money or code back to them).

I'm not sure why you brought up OpenSSH, since it's by far the most widely used SSh implementation in the world...

This thing looks so...empty! I imagine it will be a welcome change to the incredibly cramped Soyuz.

Does anybody know if the second row of seating is meant to be replacable? I assume a 7 person crew won't be the norm for the usual ISS crew rotation missions, so it seems like that row would usually be better spent on filling up with supplies.
Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. As a non-American I didn't know the political climate. "American Indian" sounds fine to me; at least it's not so ambiguous. "Indian," IMO should really be used to describe people from India only.
I think you need to differentiate your argument from his a little more if you are going to purport to disagree with him.
Git packs are mostly made up of deltas. Git is remarkably efficient at diffing files. And because it's all handled at the the storage level it doesn't matter what order the files are in, it generally packs all the revisions of a file from largest to smallest with the a compression window several versions wide. The problem is that it's still a lot of data when you have significant binary assets.

Edit: The default is to delta files up to half a gigabyte in size.

Recent Chinese and Indian immigrants (probably true for other Asian countries too) tend to be either wealthy or highly educated, due to stability of the region and changes in immigration policy.
ISS is only projected until 2020, but will obviously go longer. I am not sure you will be competitive within 10 years. Flight hours alone may limit your true chances. It is also not uncommon to be certed to fly and still wait 3-5+ years.
Forgot to mention that these questionnaires themselves are at fault - they perpetuate the concept of "race" while we should know better in the 21st century that races are an invention of the 18-19th Century. Look at actual genetic differences between people, and while you may certainly define subgroups here and there, it's certainly not as simple as having a dozen of groups defined mostly by the color of your skin and your appearance.

Races are BS, period. So these questionnaire make the BS go on and on.

Your view of a post racial society excludes any form of ethnic identity which influences occupational choices. IMO, that's not nessisarily a good thing. It's Basicly saying no culture has any value or no culture that differs from mine has any value which is vary ethnocentric.

I'm basing it on the mainstream media's coverage of the announcement honing in on "too many white guys" (when in reality whites are under-represented at Google and the male percentage is in line with candidate demographics, if not skewed more towards females) and ignoring the fact that Asians are incredibly over-represented at Google. One thing is seen as a "problem", the other isn't. You must have blinders on if you're not paying attention to how this announcement has been interpreted.

Depends what you mean by 'astronaut.' One of the interesting things about the space shuttle is that it allowed large crews (up to 11, but typically 7) of which only 2 were absolutely necessary to fly it, so you could have relatively specialised people (e.g. scientists who were not also pilots) going up into space. Now, with the Soyuz capsule only having 3 seats, every seat counts again and we don't have that flexibility anymore. But the Dragon V2 seats 7, so maybe that's about to change :) and you wouldn't necessarily need to join the air force at all to get into space!
He thinks it's something new that white means "an ethnic group that has made it," and in fact goes on to bemoan how "this new division is as likely as the old to create nasty, corrosive, sometimes fatal battles over which racial groups get the spoils."

I'm annoyed that he seemingly doesn't get that for centuries white always meant "an ethnic group that has made it." Despite his allusion to the title of a work showing exactly that, he obviously didn't pick up on the point.
ain't just big deal .. it's just business buffy
Google is looking to address inequality in the tech sector, because that's where its expertise and experience lies. Its is not doing this by hiring based on racial profiles. It is doing this by trying to encourage people from diverse backgrounds to a) enter the field in the first place and b) actually apply for jobs at Google.

I think his point is that "white" is becoming synonymous with "privileged", and that people are responding by grouping Asians with "whites" because they are increasingly enjoying the same systematic privilege that whites do.

The whole privilege debate has always bothered me a bit. I don't doubt that having a particular ethnic background helps in certain situations, but "privilege" suggests a certain binary-ness that doesn't accurately capture all the nuances of race and ethnicity in America.

For instance, there's a large amount of variation among different Asian groups. There is a world of difference between the socioeconomic status of the Hmong community in Michigan and the Taiwanese community in the Bay Area. Or even between the Chinese immigrants who came in the 1800s and the latter wave of immigration in the last few decades. And while it may be fair say that, all else equal, being to a particular ethnic group grants certain advantages relative to belonging to other groups, that advantage isn't uniform. For example, being Chinese or Indian is probably a net plus if you want to be a software engineer in the valley; it's probably a net minus if you want to be an actor in Hollywood.

That said, I don't think the answer is to be color-blind. Race and ethnicity clearly matter in America -- it's just not as simple as privileged / not-privileged or majority / minority.
