I wonder if there's a way to find out which AI model is used on the backend.

I mean.. they did loan the money, with all the associated responsibilities and risks of loaning money. And they did do the work. All the agreements were entered voluntarily, so what's the fault here?

The best option.. for what? To live in? To invest in? To look at? Besides, isn't it incredibly personal? What's the best option for someone, might be a poor option for someone else.

Future economic prospects for the US have never been so grim in living memory

Everything is cyclical, and no one truly expected the US to rise indefinitely. Perhaps we're past the peak now.

There's a big fat NDA attached to the reward.

I did not think that the point of the article is to complain about award withholding from Asian students.. although the attribution of race seems misplaced.

I thought the point was about the loss of meritocracy and the redefinition of what it means to fail. And grading work on a 50-100 scale.. you really don't think that's weird?

This is a possible outcome. However, another possibility is that not all children are of the same aptitude, and therefore your experience might not be representative of their.

This comes across as ad hominem-ish. Do their argument and allegation stand on their own or do they not?

Maybe there's a meatier part still, where the author alleges that they have yet to receive a certificate earned two years ago.

The argument still stands, but can be rephrased if convenient: have you purchased olive oil or vehicle fuel using cryptocurrency?

Lots of talk about reform and transformation but light in detail on what the desired changes are. Triple down on One China policy, but multiple mentions of special status of HK/Macau. Anyone got any additional insight?

Hacker News does not have a downvote button for the majority of its users.

The "strange" password limitations are probably due to some mainframe backing authentication.

His employees are free to seek a better paid employment if a jerk they work for underpays them. What's up with this nonstop handout mindset lately?

What's that de Gaulle quote? "No nation has friends only interests."

You need the moral fluff to convince humans to risk their lives in participating in the invasion.

I'm struggling here. Are you saying that there aren't any barriers for entry in the US? For everyone, or for Asians specifically?

That isn't specific to Russians.

I think the person you're responding to is talking about USSR circa 1920-1980, and you're talking about RF 2010-2020. Of course you can say that it's all the same, but then why would you be agreeing with them 10 years ago?

As a poor person who emigrated from USSR, this is borderline offensive.

I saw a lot of USSR as well. We lived in a 200 sqft apartment with no plumbing.

What kind of question is that?

Can you please share what platform you're using?

There should be enough people on that to communicate out as well as resolve.

There's a lot of anger just because 'Google'. Whatever reasons provided that would not be appropriate for others will seem okay when applied to Google.

Can't be hurting the domestic spying apparatus.

Wikipedia says that it's under the jurisdiction of the Federal government of the United States. So maybe depends on how you define 'government'?

There's a degree of purpose to artificial scarcity though. If construction is completely unchecked, then the demand, and load on infrastructure can reach a point where it becomes unusable to everyone,old and new residents.

I've lived in Toronto for a long time, and after pockets of th city got rezoned and high-rise construction was allowed, it created a situation where it was not possible to get onto public transit during peak hours, and people resorted to walking to work for 45 min instead of their planned 15 min commute when they brought their condos pre-construction. Similarly the growth of immediate Toronto suburbs has been so immense, that it is not possible to get a seat on the subway if you don't board at the terminus station (as suburbanites fill them). The city is addressing these problems through transit expansion, but it is taking decades for each project to complete (example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_5_Eglinton).

The main point is, zoning in a vacuum is not evil, or if more palatable, a necessary evil.

Right after he releases his tax records following the completion of the Mexican wall.

You're right that whistleblower channels don't work, at the very least according to Snowden. But you're wrong about him fleeing to Russia, as that's not where he was going to, but where he ended up.
