Satya had been at the company for quite a while himself. Perhaps not as long as others, but he was a well known veteran within the company

Locu. Acquired by GoDaddy. Morphed into a Yext competitor called GetFound.

It started as Jomax Technologies, I believe.

There are more brown people than Indians… Usually these initiatives push for underrepresented brown people, ie Hispanic/Latino Americans.

Most diversity programs actively harm Indians as over represented, as they fall under the broad “Asian” category (see Harvard).

But I guess Indians are easy pickings these days.

This is an interesting response that points out ambiguity in it all. Depending on what you're reading / what statistic is being derived, often times you see Hispanic / Latino included as white and not brown.

Historically in the US, Indian and Arab people were classified as “Caucasian”. In fact, it was marked on my relatives first speeding ticket in 1972.

In the US I always see Hispanic/Latino as its own category.

On forms, I would tend to agree.I'm more speaking of in statistics. It appears depending on the narrative they're intertwined. There's also the variances in self reporting.

"A 2014 Pew Research Center survey found that one-third of US Latinos identify as "mestizo", "mulatto", or another multiracial identity.[21] Such identities often conflict with standard racial classifications in the United States: among Latino American adults surveyed by Pew Research who identified as multiracial, about 40% reported their race as "white" on standard race question as used on the US Census; 13% reported belonging to more than one race or "mixed race"; while about 20% chose "Latino" as their race." - Wikipedia

This is the #1 reason for ad blocking in Eastern Europe and Asia (eg dolphin browser). It’s also why the current “solutions” big tech is providing viz. privacy and non-annoying ads doesn’t move the needle there.

Also, they program stuff like high rep clean and jerks and snatches along with high intensity cardio and gymnastic movements. Never a great idea to train high power, highly technical movements with fatiguing exercises and time pressure, let alone with poor form. I did a few classes in SF coming from a background in Olympic lifting and strength sports and I really found maintaining form and safety was quite hard.

I believe it’s because a doctor doesn’t prescribe cigarettes to you. So the only liability is your own.

It’s a weak line of reasoning to _allow_ cigarettes, but I’m not convinced it’s so bad to _disallow_ novel therapeutic uses that are understudied.

Yes but then you’d have to carry that for domestic travel.

The wallet-sized passport card is a great solution for that case then. It’s much cheaper than the regular passport book (and you are allowed to have both at once), doesn’t invalidate your regular passport book if it gets lost or stolen, and is also usable to go between the US and Canada by land or sea without having to bring the passport book with you. For people with a Global Entry or NEXUS card, that card also works for every case where the passport card does (and more).

Green card holders also have a convenient wallet size for their green card, and they’re legally required to carry it with them at all times while in the US anyway.

States like MA legally only accept MA IDs and federal govt IDs for age verification. That’s why a lot of bars and packies will turn people away or ask for additional proof like CC’s. You’re more likely to be held liable for misconduct if the license you accepted is out of state.

Yeah, and the bill will come back adjusted to

  - X-Ray: $15
  - Radiologist Consultation: $125
  - Harrison.AI interpretation: $20

The cat and mouse between payer and system will never die given how it's set up. There's a disincentive to bill less than maximally, and therefore to not deny and adjust as much as possible. Somewhere in the middle patients get squished with the burden of copays and uncovered expenses that the hospital is now legally obligated to try and collect on or forfeit that portion for all future claims (and still have a copay on that new adjustment)
