I have criticized the material, please read the section on the qualifications of the Kazi and how they were glossed over in favor of characterizing him as a noble brute.

Such a perspective would not flow from the pen of a western (read: non-indic) author in today's day and age. But plains Indians have an romanticizing gaze towards inhabitants of the Himalayan ranges. They view them as simpler nomads. The author applies a version of the "Oriental gaze" to Sikkim's political struggle and attributes the kinetics to the two western woman in their midst - one who was just 19 and on the scene for barely a dozen years. This reduces the natives and the major participants - both educated, one highly - as mere appendages of the two western women in the mix. You don't find this highly incredulous?
Ideally research does get reproduced from scratch; I think what people usually mean when they talk about the replication/reproducibility crisis in science is not being able to reproduce an experiment with new samples, independent data analysis, etc.

However, if you can't even reproduce an analysis with the authors' own data and code, that's a red flag before you even get to the starting line. Ensuring that level of reproducibility is, I think, an essential ingredient to enabling the stronger form of reproducibility.

Personally, I made the mistake during my graduate career of trying to reimplement an analysis using a certain rather complicated ML algorithm, from scratch, in a different language than the original authors had used. After struggling mightily to get it to work, I finally bothered to try to get their own code working. (I had been hesitant to do so because I wasn't proficient in the language they used, and it wasn't even clear they had released all the necessary code, aside from the core algorithm.) Once I did that, I discovered that I couldn't even get their own code working on their own data, and gave up. This was researched published in Science by a group from a top-tier research university. (I don't fully blame the authors, it may well have been my own incompetence that was the issue. But it just serves as yet another illustration of how pervasive and disregarded the reproducibility issue was for a long while.)

Aren’t the all sales reps commission based? I would be very surprised if AWS reps are not.
It's not clear to me from the quotes you provided why you think she's lying? She said she was sterilized in 2019 at the age of 36 after having given birth to five or more children. I don't see anything especially suspicious there.
I suspect the vast majority of bugs are exclusively using Bugzilla. Maybe they use Jira for roadmapping or security bugs.
Great advice! Start with good binoculars for $100-200. I would get a used telescope. Many of them are as good as new and here in Germany you get them for 50-70% of the regular price.

I bought an 8" SC myself used for 550€ including a mount with tracking.
Make one mistake with that address and your crypto is gone!! at least with IBAN/SWIFT the funds can be returned to the original account.
Tot best knowledge, you can actually pay to have pearl white teeth. It's a quite basic procedure, costly, but doable.
Sounds like my experience with their recruiting.

Nov 2019 - interviews

Dec 2019 - passed hiring committee

Dec to June 2020 - emailed recruiter every two weeks never heard back

June 2020 - cold email from recruiter “here is your offer letter to join Google! Let's talk team match.”

Needless to say I did not accept that job. This was for a software engineer role.

Bromite is the only Android browser I've ever seen which has a "View Source" command, which is both incredible and quite sad. Kudos to Bromite team, I am grateful to them every day.

Yes, I'm aware that in other browsers I can scroll up to the address bar, tap the address bar, stumble-drag my way to the beginning of the text field, and type "view" (switch to symbols view) dash (switch to letters view) source (switch to symbols view) colon.

I've yet to see a single iOS browser which has a View Source command.
Agreed, they are building a really great product.

We are (at this stage) still very different though:
with weweb, you can build full layouts with various elements and manage the CSS of every single element directly from a GUI in a no-code editor, just like in a Webflow.

In Stackbit's no-code editor, you can change the position of ready-made sections and change some of the props of these sections (text, links, etc.). You cannot however build a section from scratch 100% in no-code like you would do in a Webflow (or weweb) using grids/flexboxes, drag & dropping elements into these containers, updating all the CSS parameters visually, etc. You'd have to do it in the code in Stackbit today.

Same goes with Tina CMS. They do not offer a comprehensive no-code editor like weweb or Webflow and we are very different for that reason.

The cool thing that Tina and Stackbit manage very well (and that we don't), is the ability to add a in-line visual editor in an existing react project to change the content and some of the properties visually, but it is limited to these properties.

What we do on the contrary is offering a comprehensive no-code site builder where marketers would build 90% of a custom website and developers would add custom coded vue components in the drag & drop editor for the extra 10% that cannot be built in no-code (+ make some of the properties of these components editable from the GUI).

Hope this makes sense?
Lack of arp/layer 2 isp, routing.

There is also a mistake inside the DNS part. DNS queries are done from the client - and this is actually true for a majority of client/server requests - by opening a dynamic random port above 49152.
I disagree.

Yes, trading value must be necessary in a system with scarcity.

But most of the things that make work a struggle for me are simply not necessary at all.

It's not necessary to have nonsense like a few weeks of holiday. The UK is far better than the US in this regard and still we get only a few weeks.

It's not necessary for there to be ludicrous entrenched inequality, which results in most employment being with a mega corporation.

I could go on but I lack the energy, I've had this discussion too many times to count.

The issue is the way in which the system seems artificially set up to benefit the rich. In the UK homes are unaffordable for most of the population now in a way that wasn't the case a few decades ago. That means that the idea of saving for retirement is a total dream for anyone other than a tiny elite of workers.
What? You have to be kidding me. TCS involves some of the 'deepest' mathematics known to mankind. Try convinvcing an expert that complexity theory and cryptography and type theory and PL theory aren't thoroughly mathematical. In fact computatbility theory and type theory lie at the very foundations of a reformulation of the basis mathematics in Homotopy Type Theory.

In fact, unlike physics and chemistry, which simply utilize deep mathematics, CS is deep mathematics.
Wouldn't it also work by just not having CSS on it at all? Except for maybe the font.
From what I've seen (in Dear ImGui), this is solved by not giving the 1 million items to the API, instead you can query what range of the list is currently visible, and only describe those to the API (in Dear ImGui this is called a ListClipper).

But I guess different UI frameworks have different solution for this. Creating and updating a 1 million item list wouldn't be a cheap operation in a traditional UI system either.

I don't have any specifics handy, but over the years I've found a lot of information on webmd that is plainly false. Maybe it's better now, but I have been ignoring it for years and encouraging friends and family to do the same. Even Wikipedia, for all its flaws, is a better source of medical information.
Holy crap, the homophobic comments about shielding their children from immigrants children/issues.
How dare you speak in the name of other people and get a grip and grow a pair. Jesus this is Sweden and Australia we are talking about, not a war zone.
You do not know the really bad places on this planet.
Let your children learn conflict resolution, they are not gonna be assassinated in school.
Or well, pay for these useless schools ripping you off if you think the kids there are all saints and angels.
I don't get it. Scott's response very clearly lays out the ways in which the NYT article was misleading--so clearly that it seems obvious that it was intentionally misleading. But to what end? What are the motivations driving NYT to try and create these poor associations with Scott and his writing? It seems a poor and short-sighted motivation for them to do this out of "revenge" for the bad press they got from the situation, it feels like there has to be something else going on here.
> In many countries and U.S. states, laws guarantee that the cost of an employee to an employer is almost twice as much as what the employee is paid.

This might be true at the lower end close to minimum wage, but payroll taxes are a specific % (usually around 15% at the federal level, and the employee pays about half that) and insurance and other benefits are typically a fixed cost per head (15k to 30k per year at most of the places I've worked). The only thing that might be variable are things like 401k match. Once you get to six figure salaries, the fully loaded cost per employee is 120-130% of their salary.
Well it is also weird that we can just call Japan Japan or Germany Germany all the time as those aren't those countries' names, yet we still do it.

ya. i recommend you minimize all points of friction as much as possible.
I don't think whether comments are allowed will make a difference when there is suitable mystery/curiosity. The recent case also illustrates this: other posts in this forum or others will be spawned to try to reason an identity out.

A posting anywhere with enough specific info to prompt applicant interest will prompt other observers to fill in the details. It's true for Google, Apple, Facebook etc. – so it will be true for self-identified YC startups who tout their impressive metrics as well.

Blizzard already put terms in their contract prohibiting bots. They can't make up arbitrary damages, but they don't have to; both contract law and torts come into play when you violate a license contract and cause damages in the process.

And no, you haven't discovered a great way for absolutely anybody to evade any contract by laundering software through an anonymous third party.
Individuals or even small groups of people are essentially incapable of accomplishing anything on the scale of taking down the media trusts. The only step individuals can take is to complain, and thereby try to spread their outrage to enough people that change becomes possible.

I take issue with "often", as the vast majority of mobile phones don't have anything (even if there exist specific models which could have them).

There was a brief window in time when you had to go out of your way to buy an Intel laptop "without" a TPM (even Macs had them for a time, even if Apple never made use of them). The Trusted Computing Group failed to capitalize on that timeframe by providing both a "reason" and decent solutions to that problem.

There's a lot of reasons why that was, if I've been drinking I'd happily go into many of them.

On the mobile side, I agree, it's a hodgepodge. Apple has their secure enclave (which doesn't quite act like a TPM, even though it theoretically could), and there exist vendors who could theoretically include a TEE in their phones (right now they're almost entirely limited to special "government-specific" use cases).

And I'm ignoring Samsung's solution (which is basically snake oil).

Intel's SGX would be great, provided that the industry suddenly switches to X86 for mobile (which I don't think is going to happen).

The mobile industry is way too fragmented from a hardware perspective for any type of trusted computing platform to achieve even a modicum of install base. That might change in the future, but I wouldn't bet on it.
I find something appealing about how the vestigial remnants of physically punched cards are retained to boot the OS, even though they don't really make sense any more. It's weirdly reminiscent of biological evolution, where systems get retained and repurposed even if they're not the most efficient way something could be implemented.
This isn't even remotely necessary for Coinbase to do well - the only thing they need is for crypto currencies to be more widely used in 25 years.
I wouldn't be surprised, and by that I mean I actually believe, that organisations like Coinbase are directly manipulating the price of BTC in order to create a big hype and excitement before their IPO.
Or after the statute of limitations runs out, but I'm not sure how long that would be for the crimes he's accused of.
She's a pretty white woman with the wits to get into Stanford. She pretty much won the genetic jackpot and her life will be easy and fun. Every single guy probably "yes'd" on her CMB profile. She was being picky with going on 1 date/week. My friend slept with four guys from OkC in one week and isn't even as attractive.
Thank you!

This paper (only started on it) looks fantastically interesting. And yes, I'm old enough to actually have worked on hierarchical databases.
Dubliners is super easy to read. It's basically the man page for Joyce.
I agree that if it's true it's incredibly damning and probably warrants some hard evidence.

That being said it's still a strange move by Signal, given that it's still a rather niche messenger that's now integrating with an even more niche payment system. The only ones that really stand to benefit from this are people holding this cryptocurrency.

It's just a super strange move by Signal, regardless of your stance on cryptocurrencies. Did anybody really think "you know what's missing from Signal compared to the competition? First party cryptocurrency payment support".
Yes. This is the sad truth.

Cryptocurrency is about network effects; more users, more value^2.

Today it is really the way to monetize a large collection of users, whereas it in the past perhaps was advertisement.

Perhaps it should be illegal in the same way a chain letter or pyramid scheme is illegal. However right now it is not.
> We need to fight against the idea that private payments are any less moral than private conversations

Disagree, but upvoting because clearly articulated.

If money is private and money is speech, then taxes aren’t tenable. Would you agree?
I find this to be an interesting statement. What happens if you're able to evade regulation by making your "AI that interprets human emotions" of really poor quality.

"Your honor, we investigated the source code and discovered that there was technically no AI being utilized. It was a poorly formatted series of if-statements. Honestly, I wouldn't even consider this a program. How it avoids crashing the moment it's run is beyond me."

Like, does AI mean some statistical method is used? That large data sets were used? Are you using some declarative language like prolog?

Ultimately the only definition I can see them coming to will reduce to "person uses computer to do thing I don't like." And somehow I don't think that's going to actually help.
"Hire a great team" .."Delegate your work"..These are the opposite of easy stuff which OP wants to do. Team building and managing is one of THE hardest things to do. Won't work for OP who is looking for easy stuff. Source: I have built a team of 20+ people and keeping it functioning well is one of the hardest things for me.
Good way to get rid of some competition.
I'd love to be able to give you some more specific pointers, but alas I'm more on the scientific/numeric/stats/data side of computing. I wouldn't know where to begin with the web stuff :(

You should probably look to others for specifics in your case.

But what little advice i can give is try to turn it all into a project. Do a quick read up on all the topics, then combine them into something tangible and of worth to you.

Since I'm not a web guy, i'm probably talking half out of my arse here, so feel free to dismiss. Think up a rails project, and try implementing the whole thing via a TDD pattern. Test, produce a really basic first shot, re-factor, repeat, etc. And what better place to learn about or implement some algorithm basics than while profiling/refactoring code to make the whole thing as fast as possible?! I learnt almost nothing from algorithm books or lectures, what really made it all sink in was when I had problems that ran slowly, and I had to make them better. Then suddenly the topic was relevant and I understood. And of course, once you optimize everything, you tend to quickly run into the hard lessons of good design, because nothing makes things fall apart and get complex quickly more than optimizing everything, except maybe trying to optimize everything with bad design.

Will you screw up? Sure! You'll be bitter and twisted, but the scars will be of experience. That's what makes you learn. The screw ups are what you remember, and when you hit a problem of your own making, suddenly you respect the solutions presented in the text-book a lot more, even if you don't agree with them or feel they're complex or constraining.

Wow, the content-aware downscaling seems very useful!

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kopf/downscali...

> This paper introduces a novel content-adaptive image downscaling method. The key idea is to optimize the shape and locations of the downsampling kernels to better align with local image features. [...] Besides natural images, our algorithm is also effective for creating pixel art images from vector graphics inputs, due to its ability to keep linear features sharp and connected.

IIRC, this is one of the major reasons that vector graphics based icons have not taken off.
Can you share the file ?
This was my strategy when I switched from TextMate to Sublime a few years ago, the plan being to make the full switch to vim in a few months.

Sublime never gave me a reason to go all the way, though :p
Why wouldn't the countries where these batteries are currently developed decide to heavily tax the export of these batteries to Tesla thus offsetting any net economic benefits of the Gigafactory? Though there seems to be enough competitors where this wouldn't be a problem.

People are challenging you on the point about sovereignty, but you’re quite right to criticize the ridiculous processes of the ICC. What defense is there for that? Is it supposed to be acceptable because it’s a ridiculousness that belongs to all nations?
A lot of my friends are electronic music producers and DJs, and many of them have now lost all or most of their income from live events. I made a super hacky site to host a "TV Guide" for all the online streams these artists are hosting. It's been a mix of tutorials, production sessions, and DJs sets so far.

The hack: It's a Google Calendar embedded into the README of a default Github Pages theme. Open to PRs lol.

I've had this attitude in the past as well. I never believed people who said they got counterfeit items on Amazon, or blamed them for buying off-brand items. Until one day I got a counterfeit SanDisk SD card. Sold by SanDisk, shipped by Amazon, straight from SanDisk's merchant page. Then I got a counterfeit Swiss Gear backpack. A Xbox controller I bought from Microsoft, shipped from Amazon, and inside the package was a no-brand Xbox controller. It worked, but I paid for name brand and got an obvious knock-off.

You can keep blaming others like I used to do, but someday it might happen to you just like it happened to me. There is a very obvious problem at Amazon and you literally cannot be careful enough to avoid it. At some point, it will happen to you. I hope it's not something where safety is critical, like a smoke alarm. You might not get a chance to leave a negative review.
Well I’m hearing most people are going to get it anyway. With tests we can slow it down. We’re going to have to accept some risk though aren’t we? We can’t really afford to shut the whole economy down for several months. And if you look at Italy it doesn’t appear to working that well anyway.

At least with testing we can catch a large chunk of the asymptomatic spreaders and get control of this thing. But in a few weeks when this fist wave passes, we’re gonna all have to learn to mitigate risk with good hygiene and accept we may get it. Testing is our only hope to returning to normal life before we totally crush our economy.
At least based on the prices I've seen when considering my options, the big potential for savings with airbnb is if you choose to take advantage of the kitchen, so that you're not paying to eat out for every meal.

But, if affordability really is your top goal, you'll do even better if you go with a hotel that offers kitchenette suites. In my experience, they typically offer a lower nightly fee than having an airbnb to yourself (especially if you are staying at least a week and don't require someone else to come make your bed for you ever day), and still let you save on meal costs.

(Airbnbing a room out of someone's house is even less expensive, but I don't think that style of airbnb rental is really the subject of much controversy.)
