It’s easy to dismiss everyone who doesn’t like being surrounded by fentanyl and meth addiction and crime as “right wing,” but it just makes them sound pretty sensible. All my friends moved away over a span of about three years. I held on as

ImageNet was very influential, but this just shows he was eighth author on a twelve author paper from almost a decade ago. Is there better evidence of sustained contributions to the field?

A few years back, 1-bedrooms in dire need of renovation were going for $3-$4k. Sounds like things have really fallen off. I still wouldn’t move back, unless I were 15 years younger and needed to jumpstart my career

Going from 1 nm to 0.7 nm is hardly as impressive as going from 3 nm to 2 nm. It’s only 0.3 nm less!

You joke but it does seem like we’re near the end of the line. We can go from 3 nm to 2 nm to 1 nm, but we can’t go negative nanometers. That’s it.

I’ve been buying Brother printers for the past 10-15 years, and recommending them whenever someone I know needs a printer. They’re simple, reliable, and relatively affordable, so they’ve given me no reason to seek out alternatives.

Ah, you’re right. It says online that a generation is 20-30 years so I was actually looking over 2-3 generations. Thanks for the correction.

No, both numbers refer to non-Hispanic whites. The Hispanic population of California was 13.7% in 1970. 19% in 1980, 39% in 2020: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanics_and_Latinos_in_Cal... And over 55% of students

California went from around 85% white European to 35% in roughly a generation (from 1960s to today). Statewide, only 20% of California students are white so their numbers will continue to decline for the foreseeable future. The US is a melt

I highly doubt it’s a top-down decision to prefer foreign applicants at Apple. But that said, it’s common in FAANG to find scenarios where a manager is of a certain background, and 90% of the people under just happen to be of the same backg
