The funny thing, I went to five schools, 3 different districts across Bay Area cities. All had accommodations for different levels. High school, I ended up at UCSC my freshman year with enough credits from transfer in (from high school sc

That is a lot to read. I’m no longer in my 40s. Grade school - in San Jose - gifted and talented classes were classes at the school not a separate school. Sadly education has evolved where schools teach to the norm rather than acknowledgi

I don’t necessarily see a problem with enabling like talented groups to be mingled together, that said it depends on the metrics. A friend who had a 3.2 in HS did way better in life than several 4.0+ students. The other end of the spectrum

As some have said, it's not about being superior. Common language, background, maybe overlaps in education, and avoiding cultures like those at Indian offshore companies where there is a lot of churn, maybe 1 Sr person you "hired

Ok, I think what you are meaning is a certain cultural sect / group / region dominating. White supremacists, for me is a different meaning because, history. So I think I understand the cultural comparison. If I am understanding

I'm having a problem understanding are you saying it's white supremacy or parallel / similar too such? If its the former, I am not sure what you are trying to convey. For myself - seasoned engineer, european pursuasion, I wan

Time to start holding businesses accountable for pushing the cheaper labor option. Many of those on visas are biased toward those from their own cultural heritage as well.

People are buying Rivians that cost much more.

Of course they are. PGE has spent years diverting maintenance dollars into stock buy backs and the like. There are a lot of projects around clearing trees and such around their lines. Funny thing is, the current federal administration is

Looking at Lang's site, yes it is a super niche area, but there is a lot of self promotion - books, events, etc. I was first introduced to the general area of curved crease, etc was with David Huffman in the early 90s. He started tha

From 98 to roughly 2015, I used to drive or fly up for the Vancouver Folk Festival. My favorite was crossing into BC at 1-2am. “Why are you here?” “The folk festival”. “Are you a musician?” “Nope, just one of the folk.” “Have a great ti

Planning a couple trips from WA to BC this year - so long as we are allowed in. US border patrol has generally been less than pleasant (coming back as a citizen) at the car crossing for decades.

This is great. And it’s sad to think this, but given current trends at the federal level and a competitor with influence, is there risk for the company and financing/operational options?

When you are a small country where much of it is bordered by water and the largest distance from tip to next border is ~300km, and you have immense oil wealth, desal and distribution makes sense. Not explain to me how that works for a state

The android experience is off putting, that said I haven’t put much time into customizing or playing with my dc1 yet. I found the design poor - reminds me of a first gen iPad. Too much wasted real estate. I need to spend more time with it,

My favorite has been everyday people claiming Elmo will find all sorts of corruption on Fed databases using AI. Trained on what datasets? What biases? Etc.

There are other properties to pivot to. ByteDance had the chance to sell, the access to data that even credit bureaus would want is too much for a foreign adversary.

The current one is sometimes in Portola, CA, old rail town trying to survive. Usually during their railway days (they have a rail museum). It’s a sight.

These days, UP has the rotary snow engine they use to clear things up towards Donner. For the most part it’s usually parked in Roseville (I believe). A neat video - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iSe1izplce0

RTO is more than “why do they hate the office they are expected to return to”. I’ve not had to do this. I’ve been fully remote for over a decade. If I am hired as remote and then the company changes its policy later requiring me to go in,

There are thousands of pictures across hundreds of albums. So it’ll need to be scraped. Something might exist, no time to write such.

It’s funny, a few groups I belong to solely use FB. One group is for the preservation of weatern history and a friend digitizes and uploads thousands of pictures (if not 10s of rhoughsands) yearly. The only actual digital copies are on FB
