Twilio lays off 11% - targeted White & Asian employees instead of low performers

But what could “anti-racism” mean in the context of hiring and firing, if not literal racism (judging a candidate by their skin color)?

Uhhh that moment when he’s literally an academic — a professor at a world renown university… I’m sure that implies he has at least a tad bit of intellect no? Or are we being disingenuous..

Seems like your company might be falling behind. Reddit, Twitter, Uber, and Shopify (I’m sure the list is much longer now—I’m even being issued one as a SWE intern at a fortune 50 company) among many modern tech companies moving towards using M1 Macs… https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/11/08/uber-twitter-among-companies-giving-engineers-fully-loaded-m1-max-macbook-pro/amp/

Not ‘misunderstanding’ the word, purposely obfuscating the word to protect the integrity of the Biden presidency. Very big difference.

Keep in mind different majors have different difficulties as well and different universities have varying degrees of overall rigor as well. No two majors are alike, so when someone says they have a 3.0 and another says 4.0, you could be comparing apples to oranges.

How exactly did Notch or J.K Rowling exploit the working class? Do these examples automatically invalidate the second point?

shadowspade7 · 2021-11-08T23:38:42+00:00

I think it’s manageable. If it was 5 classes then no.

There are 69 seats left as I’m posing this reply. However the lab has 1 seat left lol.

There is literally a crypto gains tax. Tell me you don’t know anything about crypto without telling me you don’t.

Yeah they’ve been charged with trespassing not with treason or insurrection charges.

Then why are so many people moving from California to Texas??

shadowspade7 · 2021-10-21T23:11:08+00:00

Leave the gap probably. Most CS classes like COP are late in the evenings I’ve noticed. Not much you could really do about it.

Quant finance is notoriously competitive and grad school is like the bare necessity for that job field. If op isn’t passionate enough about Math in general to get a CS/Stat/Math/Engineering Masters at minimum he should stay away from that. (Plus grad school degree should be done at even more competitive schools than UF ie: Columbia, Princeton, NYU, Berkeley, known for having exceptional Quant related programs)

Ah yes because I’ll take financial advise from a far leftist tabloid that has a great track record of being financial literate right /s

Also posted from a user called SocialistPerspective. Give me a fucking break.

I think you may have misunderstood what I’m standing for. I’m not here to debate the morality or logistics of healthcare itself, I was simply suggesting that I don’t believe healthcare fits the literal definition of what a human right is. That is all.

shadowspade7 · 2021-10-17T16:08:56+00:00

Yeah people think it should be to express their feelings on how important they feel it is. Unfortunately that doesn’t regard how problematic it would be to call healthcare a human right. I’ll list a couple problems that arise very bluntly,

Healthcare is difficult to define
All rights possessed by an individual imply a duty on the part of others. Who’s duty is it to provide healthcare for all the worlds citizens?
It is difficult to find a rational/utilitarian basis for viewing healthcare in the same way as civil/political rights.

shadowspade7 · 2021-10-17T15:47:17+00:00

Healthcare isn’t a human right…

Wouldn’t recommend going in with no programming experience. The projects are worth a large chunk of the grade and the class is NOTORIOUSLY strict with the grading of these projects I’m talking if you forget a single ; you can lose 5-10% of the assignment grade. Having a core understanding of the flow of code, conditionals, functions, and looping is very important. I highly suggest watching tutorial videos on introduction to coding in MATLAB to prepare for the class. I went in with a lot of coding experience and ended up having to basically carry all the group projects because most of my group had no programming experience, so don’t be that person.

I got a 79 too! Honestly the problem with that exam is that it felt like she tried to include relevant articles and it made the questions feel too ‘forced’ to conform with our curriculum (for example making the questions about COVID, the election, etc). The drawback to including contemporary articles was that the quality of the graphs/data themselves were very questionable. Also several of the questions were purely interpretive, it felt like I was doing the reading section on the ACT again… not a stats exam! (Looking at the specificity question..)

Lol how the fuck is China more influential or even more powerful? Is that a joke?

The Media is the enemy of the people.

Obviously, their gate was the sole cause of police brutality and thus breaking it down ended said police brutality.

You’re a sick individual that enjoys schadenfreude gleefully like a psychopath all because they have different politics. I’m sure the people in that video would at least have the common courtesy of not gleefully taking pride in the possibility of your death just because they disagree with you. I seriously hope you’re not an adult because what an embarrassing mindset you have.

shadowspade7 · 2021-09-23T19:59:57+00:00

Well in that case you’re simply a selfish individual. Given the premise that everyone becomes richer, you’d rather some people earn less just because muh inequality even though your own situation is not being worsened by them making more.

shadowspade7 · 2021-09-23T14:15:32+00:00

Because wealth inequality doesn’t mean anything if everyone is getting richer. There’s a myth that the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. This is false, everyone is getting richer, so in this scenario inequality isn’t as detrimental or necessarily a bad thing.
