This seems pretty serious, but I wonder if there is a way to measure how many systems are affected by this. Does anyone have telemetry on how many Runas configs are set up this way? How would someone collect this data?

Is it just me or did the OP just reinvent Weight Watchers points?

> Some jobs simply carry with them the understanding you are going to be "used up" by participating. Wrestlers, boxers, hockey players, and now footballers. Some men are willing to destroy themselves in pursuit of wealth and fame, and it's difficult to say it's our job as a society to overrule their choices about their own bodies.

I think one of the more interesting comparisons starts when you look past professions that promise fame and fortune, and start looking at jobs like firefighting, police work, and military service. I would argue that there is a similar progression of personnel (as evidenced by earlier retirement and pension ages for these professions) but the pot of gold at the end of rainbow is less celebrity and more a consistent job and service to one's community. Where do those professions stand on the spectrum?

Our sincerest apologies that things slipped through. We were able to identify you based on the description above, and I'll personally follow up in hopes of making amends.

Last month was our first time posting in the HN Hiring thread, and we didn't know how much volume we'd get. We responded in a very ad-hoc fashion, without implementing enough process around it. After some promising candidates came through the HN pipeline last month, we built out a bit more process for this month -- your feedback is very valuable and we'll do our best to prevent similar failure modes from happening again for other candidates.

Given the microUSB ports in the third and fourth images, I'd say it's likely.

Not a single mention for Battleship, the game that (I would warrant) introduced most current American 20-somethings to the concept?

I don't think that's true; it's really more about learning the lingua franca of a different world. Style, hobbies, etc. I didn't know what "rowing crew" was until I got to college, and to be honest, I still have no idea how lacrosse is played.

I have; it was a very solid portrait of one portion of the low-income/high-achieving cohort.

What most of these articles fail to mention is that there are three aspects to the traditional socioeconomic diversity narrative: low income, race/ethnicity, and familial educational achievement. As an Asian American whose parents both had PhDs, I've been in the unique position of having only one of the three factors affecting me.

Speaking as a lower-income student who went to an Ivy League university, appearing more similar to those in power is an entirely different thing than becoming an "arse-licking sycophant".

I'd argue that going to a so-called "elite" institution is more akin to learning a language by immersion.

My main issue with them is the small target area. Is there a significant practical challenge to make a Qi charging area that's maybe 5 times what the small chargers are? Alignment, perhaps, or power waste?
