Seems to me that they immigrated to another country because of a specific type of cultural phenomenon that was happening in their country of origin resulting from immigration. Maybe the same type of phenomenon is not happening in their country of choice? Doesn't seem sarcastic at all.

In the majority... in the United States?

How was anything I said racist? I'm genuinely curious. And what are the guidelines on HN for this kind of language?

This isn't meant to be a provocative question: What's the messaging from India been like?

>He explicitly reused a racist phrase to suggest the black protesters should be shot down.

I thought the consensus was that the looters were mostly young out-of-states whites? And to insinuate that the President had read some 1940s Florida mayor's (sorry, I can't remember who the saying is originally attributed to) speeches and knew the connotations of that phrase is ridiculous.

But surely it can be harmful? Perhaps women aren't encouraged to get into racing sports and get potentially lucrative careers out of it. Imagine the same sentence with computers - or programming! - replacing driving. Many a heated discussion has been had on these forums about a certain man and his memo.

Somehow I hadn't really thought about whether the discrimination in university admissions against Asian Americans in general affects all sub-groups, like Japanese Americans for example. Is this the case?

Would you say this is true outside of the US as well? Does the moral hazard get introduced with lobbying, or do you find it to be problematic on its own?

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. If the text had said white person, it would have obviously been racist.

Perhaps because sexism in this instance is completely acceptable? I'm not objecting to that, by the way.

When Germans elect a Chancellor who doesn't make sure that Germany meet their NATO commitments are they being disrespectful to their allies? I understand that the comment may come off a bit incendiary, but I'm genuinely asking.

Are black restaurant owners an oppressed group?

Why do you think his "musings" are wrong? Seems like something very obvious to me, but I'm a complete lay person in this regard.

Do these folks on the left feel the same way about marching with anti-semites? I didn't hear much about that on the left.

This could set a really perverse incentive for people to start monetising their followers.

I would imagine that the sun is hotter and shows itself more often in India and Pakistan - hence the darker complexion.

>If markets were truly random, you might expect 50% of day traders to lose money, not 90%.

Only if the humans were making decision to buy and sell randomly.

It might be harder for some to accept it now, given that it might hurt their preferred political outcome.

Feel free to not respond as this might be too personal, but I'm very interested. Does your wife keep in contact with her mother? Presumably yes, as you have gotten to know them?

From the second sentence: "Good contrast makes it easier for people with visual impairments to use products."

>4. Don't offer large salaries to anyone. The role shouldn't attract people who care about salaries, even if it means you don't attract the "best talent". That "best talent" was probably going to wreck the organisation anyway.

Is this necessarily the right move? I have a vague recollection of reading about Singapore and their approach to attaining top talent to the public sector with high wages. I could be totally wrong!

>I assume GP did a lot of searching and experimentation, and haven't found a solution.

Yeah, I was very hesitant to ask so as not to seem like I didn't think they've looked into it..

All the best to you as well.

Stay strong.

>My brain chemistry is irreversibly fucked for lack of a better word

Are you sure it's completely irreversible?

How do you jump from

x = 0.999...

to

2x = 1.999..

I have none. Enjoyed all of the videos so far - keep them coming!

Been meaning to get into AWS, but every time I try something it seems very complicated. Very excited for this channel!

>because being Asian-American is not a disadvantage

It very clearly is.

>For instance, the average black family has one tenth the wealth of the average white family

So make it wealth based?

>Let me be clear though: this is purely against your affirmative action points. Any potential discrimination against Asians outside of affirmative action is unacceptable.

Why draw the line arbitrarily at affirmative action? Why not housing as well? Maybe a quota on high-paying jobs?

Perhaps somewhat ironically, Asians seem to support affirmative action the most: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/02/25/most-americ...

Does anyone know how Alibaba and the like have fared in China?

I did not hear that in the video - could you pinpoint the timestamp? I would also not be OK with that.
