All social animals have the concept of social rank. Rather than popularity I would rather translate that to: "why nerds are ranked lower in the human social structure". Now, to answer that, you need to standardize in a definition

Those few are actually in the order of hundreds of thousands if not millions. You are talking about a 173 million people country. If only 1% of 173 million had a western-like middle-class+ purchasing power, that gives you? 1.73 million. A l

You are not taking in consideration that poor countries have high inequality and disproportionally rich people at the top. So no, that's not correct.

With someone or an entire country? Based on what specifically? to which extent? 300 people in a 173 million people country do fraud, flag them all?

Even car color is discriminated against. Red cars are tied to extroversion and risk taking. Then... yes. Discrimination can be very harmful. Lack of health insurance for example can have fatal consequences, which can be more severe than sca

A good programmer is a good problem solver. But it also requires technical knowledge or ability to acquire it, as well as a good ability to communicate ideas. Now, you can solve problems in many ways. They can be solved in the best interest

Banks historically have also profited from racial profiling, and insurance companies have also profited by discriminating against women, especially in countries with paid maternity leave. Country of origin discrimination is no worse than th

The burden of proof is still on the party forwarding an accusation in civil cases. Presumption of innocence still holds in civil cases. Presumption of innocence is even in the UN universal declaration of human rights. What is considered bur

It is as reasonable as proactively detaining everyone using tatoos or sports clothing. Correlation does not imply causation. Ethically, I do not think it is correct to outright flag an entire country. It can be used as one factor, but that

I do not think it is a good idea to make a blanket accusation over an entire country. Presumption of innocence, reasonable suspicion and burden of proof are core concepts of our justice systems for a reason.

Depends on the amount. There are drinks containing 60g of sugar, or 15 teaspoons of sugar. Combine that with a sugary snack and you will see.

I do not think this is the correct analogy. The analogy would be gun manufacturers helping customers avoiding detection after illegal usage of their weapon. In that case, yes. It's bad.

It will be hard for them to recover from this. They will have to aggressively lower the prices to attract customers.

"unsafe" is expressing that you are opting-in for less safe code. Same in C#. Many unsafe abstractions are not opt-in in C++. You can go ahead and writing them. No warning or cost. "mut" and "unsafe" are keywor

In theory you can achieve a lot in C++. But C++ is like a large buffet where you can pick from a lot of different abstractions. Rust on the other hand is not as flexible. But it rather tries to focus in safer abstractions, and provide conve

While CoffeeScript has some useful additions, it also has some that were not good ideas. When the language helps communicating an idea more clearly and concisely, it's fine. But removing delimiters in my opinion does not help readabili

I used Geocities. I think it still exists in Japan. Back then, HTML templates/generators were very mainstream. Nowadays that use case was largely replaced by what we now call blogs. Many of those websites were in fact proto-blogs. Late

Economy follows the path of least resistance and cheaper labor through H-1B is that path now. But taking away visas does not mean everyone will happily employ local computer science graduates. This is what is more likely to happen: - Coding
