Agreed that rescinded offers are not something to worry too much about. And, worst case scenario, you can often go back to your old team if you left on good terms. It would be nice, though, if you had some certainty of some support, though

Do the meanings of mouth morphemes ever correspond to the mouth shapes associated with spoken morphemes in the local spoken language? (Sorry if that's incorrectly/confusingly phrased; been awhile since I cracked open a linguistics

Ah, I see what you mean. I don't think so, though sign languages do sometimes have loanwords from spoken language. For instance, certain English words have made their way into ASL through finger spelled words. It's not quite a tra

Sign languages are full fledged languages in their own right; they aren't simply a series of visual renditions of the words in the spoken or written language. Their grammars are often fundamentally different. E.g. ASL is closer in synt

I can't see how it will scale, but in the immediate present, it seems useful and good to me. I might even prefer if this small web remained small (though that's likely... unappealing to Kagi's investors).

Race as we know it is a modern invention, approximately four centuries old. It's a toddler compared to caste.

That's not a terrible approach for some things. If I get a call from my bank telling me to login to my-bank.us or something to deal with a pressing issue, it may well be a phishing attempt, and it's generally a safer approach to g

"Boston Brahmin" doesn't capture any of the subtleties of caste, nor is it long lasting. The salience of that group lasted at most two centuties, and most Americans wouldn't immediately place someone named Ted Brinley in

CFIUS closely works with US intelligence agencies. That in itself isn't damning. But it also bears pointing out that the NSA also doesn't have authority over or interest in ordinary US citizens and is ostensibly 100% concerned wit

It's just corporate wokewashing. Make a profit-oriented decision, then offer a post-hoc rationalization of why it's good for racial minorities and hope to get some good press out of it. Nothing new or surprising here. Guis, it bea

The point is that there are shelter beds available: many are empty. The fact that if every single homeless person decided to take a bed there wouldn't be enough is irrelevant, because they don't want to. If N is the number of beds

You're missing the point: requiring the government to provide permanent housing that has storage units and allows pets (and alcohol, and drugs, and...) before it can take action on homelessness is not an effective approach. Temporary h

1) your two points are at odds: some proportion of the homeless refuse shelter under any circumstances. What, then, is the point of wildly overprovisioning shelter beds, when ones are going unused today? 2) So, the idea is that until the go

Didn't Google have this feature like two decades ago (blocks, at least)? It's not quite a search innovation, more like a "caring about your users as a business strategy" innovation.

Enterprise likes it, because it gives them more visibility and control over what's going on in the dev box. That gives more angles to control against e.g. exfiltration threats. It also makes dev environments much more homogeneous: you
