> It’s true that if you can say “you can hire from {top N colleges like MIT}” then this would be attractive. I'm not even sure this is true. The big tech companies that they are targeting can already hire from the top programs. >

Yeah it is a weird list. Dartmouth, Brown, and Duke? Good programs, but definitely below a number of public schools (Washington, Michigan, UW-Madison, UT-Austin, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UIUC, and probably others that aren't coming to mind ri

It is even worse when aimed at large tech companies. These companies don't experience FOMO when they see a resume of a CMU grad. They get mountains of those a year. And further, large tech companies are going to be less likely to be

Exactly zero of the people I know who are into Musk are into him because of these reasons. Granted, this is a very very very tiny corner of Musk's fans but the people I know are into him because he is "badass" and "stick

It is still reasonable to call it a broken system even if "move to Idaho" is an option.

It does not. The stated goal was “disrupt the nuclear family requirement.” Very different than “dismantle the nuclear family structure.”

Moving thousands of miles sucks . Leaving all of your family, friends, and work is an enormous disruption to a life.

We've already seen Thiel float the "the world would be better if women couldn't vote" thing. Far right communities online already express sanitized versions of this belief system. You can see it when far right women end

Civil rights for gay people and black people were criticized "artificially engineering society". As were voting rights for women or access to birth control. Subservient roles for women and labor roles for black people were seen as

Regardless of your opinion of the "subversive" nature of such a word problem, it becomes exceedingly clear that the bill is about more than "presentations about sex (straight or otherwise) to a classroom of 5-10 year olds&quo

"Functioning" is a word for it, I guess. I really don't think I'd describe a system where 50% of the population has basically zero rights to be "functioning."

Pros and cons. A big challenge with rigid social expectations is identifying the beneficial ones and removing the harmful ones. In practice, there tends to be little introspection about which traditional expectations help and which ones hur

Title is wrong. The wired title is "Hackers Are Getting Caught Exploiting New Bugs More Than Ever." This is important because if you read the GPZ article you see text like: > While we often talk about “0-day exploits used in-th

Is it wrong to explore the boundaries of the art form for reasons other than enjoyment? Formal experimentation is powerful and gives ideas to later composers. By constraining oneself to the goal of enjoyable performance, one can't be a

Not even just one speech. Literally just one line!

Yes he did say that one line in one speech. But if you review the totality of his writing, it is very clear that total colorblindness in the face of inequality was not his goal. The "I Have A Dream" does not represent some shift a

No. MLK considered it to be a step on the path to equality.

by UncleMeat 5y ago
MLK explicitly supported affirmative action and other programs designed explicitly to benefit black people in order to make up for past discrimination. I suspect he would be tired of being used as a justification for absolute colorblindness

How is that bad? If you've got malware on your machine then you are already fucked. Desktops don't tend to have strong process isolation that keeps malware from reading a password in flight anyway.

But there is no evidence that they are writing the passwords to disk.

"Not necessarily." It depends on the nation and their political situation.

In the modern day, humans are not necessarily "cheap disposable units." At least for the US, it is not politically feasible to have 50,000-100,000 people die in a war anymore. 4,431 US soldiers were killed in Iraq. The calculus ha

There are two ways to prep for interviews. One is to actually learn the principles. The other is to grind and memorize. 4-8 hours a day for months is the latter and is not the intended interview process, though some people go that route. “R

Almost nobody plays vintage. Legacy is largely dead. The most expensive competitive format is modern, where competitive decks can run in the low thousands. 1000 or 2000 in equipment is absolutely normal for a lot of competitive endeavors.

by UncleMeat 5y ago
It is actually the opposite. If you choose your pile then low cost decks are better because you can choose to spend fewer draws on land. Expensive cards are better if you get a draw from each pile each turn.

"BTC will eventually crush dollars" and "BTC is not volatile because 1BTC = 1BTC" are very different claims. Even a bitcoin maximalist should recognize that the value of BTC when trading for good and services has swung d
