>At the same time you talk of "temple beggar jobs and 60 year old women doing road maintenance".
> Am honestly unable to reconcile these opposing narratives.

India is a massive complex country, just like the US. It has plenty of physical and cultural space to accommodate both those narratives. You might consider visiting there to see both play out at the same time for yourself - it's fascinating.

But you don't need to look as far as SF to India to find such opposing narratives. SF entrepreneurs with vast amounts of capital are in close proximity to many people right in the Bay Area working for low wages in marginal and informal jobs (day laborers, child-care workers, domestic maids), and even people in jobs that involve human oppression (human trafficking, etc).

India's extremely complicated bureaucratic nightmare of inter-state borders and customs/tariffs is the fault of the British?

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/31/india-economic-...

Imagine if you had cargo truck borders and customs paperwork between every one of the US 50 states and what a nightmare it would be for trucking/logistics/distribution/warehousing/cold chain/etc.

Indian states have a significant degree of regulatory autonomy, far beyond what a US state or a Canadian province has, to the extend that some states are looking at banning alcohol entirely and others have unique tax code and criminal code laws not found in the rest of India.

Why do you say that? Again, I'm not an economist, but opposing protectionism makes sense to me intuitively.
I have to ask the folks here. Given the OP used an ID that seems easily traceable and he/she admits to defrauding the bank publicly (I know, just .32 USD, but still people are going to prison these days for so many silly things). Should OP retain legal counsel and have the lawyer make contact with a VP?

Or does lawyer-ing up make OP look guilty from the start?

Protectionism shrinks markets, drives up prices, and reduces consumer choice. The decreased competition from protectionism also decreases technological development.

http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

It is best to assume "everything is correlated with everything else", rather than jump on every correlation. On the other hand it is important to encourage people to notice correlations and coincidences, but realize not every one can be followed up on, and most of these that are noticed will be only weakly involved in any solution.

Really all we know at this point is that Alzheimer's disease is associated with the presence of more stuff that stains with antibodies raised towards Amyloid-beta aggregates than usual. It isn't even clear whether these are a cause or a symptom, nor whether these stains are near 100% specific towards beta-Amyloid (ie as derived from Amyloid precursor protein) rather than other aggregations of beta-sheets (like any prion "infection").
Stop.

You're risking your freedom to save a corporation.

If you press ahead you will be dealing with people who lack knowledge and are scared of what you did affecting their career. They will rake you over coals. And you will have gained what? The minute pleasure of helping them save a few bucks?

You have a desire to help people. That's great and noble and commendable. But that's not what you would be doing here.

My advice: drop it. It's not worth it. If there was no risk to life or liberty from what you found, then yes chase the disclosure. But there isn't. Drop it and forget it ever happened. Your life is worth it.

I currently use Google Apps for business. You can associate multiple domains to a single account and have a single user ($5 per month) that has multiple email aliases from each domain.

So for example, if you set up Google Apps for ExampleA.com, you can then add/verify additional domains under that account. Once you have done that, you can create a user on ExampleA.com (i.e. SomeUser@ExampleA.com) and have aliases for the other domains (i.e. AnotherUser@ExampleB.com). While all the mail comes into one inbox (I set up rules to dump each domain to a separate folder to make it easy), you can customize the TO field to allow you to send from any of the addresses. In the end you only pay $5 for all the email addresses though (or at least $5 per user you set up if you want to have more than one user on the account).

It may not be the perfect solution, but it is effective and inexpensive. I don't have worry about it, it works great with my Android phone. The only downside is that if you later decide to separate out the accounts it can be a little bit of pain and confusing.
Galileo v Church was about whether the Earth moved, not about the Earth being a sphere.
Along the same lines, you can visually inspect them. Now, perhaps there's a way to hide some sort of wafer-thin wireless reader and transmitter in a floppy disk that can somehow harvest enough electrical energy to be useful, but that's a long shot.

As for SD cards, ones that are more than just storage (e.g. with wireless technology embedded) already exist.
The post has nothing to do with inter-state commerce. Its to do with Federal Laws set by the Indian Govt, which overall seems to be deeply protectionist. If you ask any historian the reasoning for this attitude in India and why its tolerated - is mainly because of the holdover from the time India was colonized by European Powers.

Essentially what I am saying is that its not easy to sell 'Free Trade' in India.

I wasn't blaming anyone for anything - just staying the facts. I personally think it would help India to loosen up some of its protectionist laws and be a little bit more like China - but that is just my own opinion.

> Once you start talking about systemic racism vs the rise of single-motherhood and destruction of the family and glorification of violence within the black communities you're called a racist and the discussion stops there.

How is this at all relevant to the topic at hand? Why does every black individual have to account for the cultural and socioeconomic complexities of being born into a low income black neighborhood? Nobody needs a lecture on the struggles of the black community when they're talking about their own experiences and interactions in silicon valley. I don't think you're racist, and I'm sympathetic to the argument that the term "racist" is sometimes abused to the effect of shutting down discussion, but it's not surprising that someone might think you're racist if your response to racially charged interview questions is to bring up black single mothers and the glorification of violence in rap music.
In my opinion it's impossible for them to do anything of substance - unless they turn into a lobbying body to drive legislative regulation of AI/AGI development.

Even with concrete plans/objectives ML/DL/AI projects rarely live up to their hype. IMO An AGI project that isn't focused around observable learning models (eg, not around "consciousness" etc...) isn't going to make much progress.
I'm not disputing the fact that there is a difference. But whether it's perceptible depends on where in the spectrum the differences are in relation to what you are looking at and the response curves of your cones. Not to mention your expectations.

Which for most city to city travel will end up being dramatically less efficient and far more expensive than electric, autonomous cars that can go 400+ miles on a charge - unless you're only going from large metro to large metro over a particularly long distance.

For travel within cities, autonomous electric vehicles will ultimately surpass rail travel. That will happen within several decades.

The cost of car use and ownership will plunge. Software and constantly improving batteries will eat the expense out of the heart of the machines.

What's the cost and usefulness to run high speed rail between two mid-sized Romanian cities that are 60km or 100km apart? Right, it's wildly impractical. Inexpensive, autonomous, electric vehicles however are the future and will be extremely practical for all purposes except very long distance travel between two major cities. No other scenario will justify spending the vast sums of money required to install and upkeep high speed railway - and that cost will only continue to climb with wages and security threats in Europe; meanwhile electric, autonomous vehicles will bring the cost of vehicles down dramatically over time.

A lot of this kind of information (like public toilets) is not really suitable for fixed schemas and periodic release. It works better as a log of simple events that relate to a particular thing in the real world.

For example:

* Disabled toilet opened (01/01/2012).
* Reports of graffiti from member of public (06/02/2012).
* Opening hours changed to 8am - 8pm (14/02/2013).

The flow of events contain much more information than a few edited facts. It allows people to enter complete information without needing to agree a schema. The data on its own is useful without complex tools or UI.

>> If words and sentences about race push your buttons then you're one of those whiny people who I wouldn't want to hire.

Taken alone without context, I'd agree with this statement but where does one draw the line?

Many organizations are homogenous enough where whining over race(gender/class/religion/sexuality)-related comments is a rare event. Have you ever worked in a diverse organization where whining over the aforementioned was normal (and hence annoying from your viewpoint)?

The OP is not about whining over racism. It's about how-to talk about race when two people are considering a mutually-desired conversation. Your commentary is whining over a hypothetical "whine" that never took place in the OP's world (unless you count being publicly invited to speak on hiring experiences). I repeat: Have you ever worked in a diverse organization where whining over the aforementioned was normal (and hence annoying from your viewpoint)?

Practically speaking, let's not overlook the legality of "words and sentences about race" when hiring in the U.S. Take your liberty but don't break the law [0] --if only for the health and well-being of your organization if not self.

Argonaut, are you suggesting that the chart shows transparency of nations?? That's inferring a lot from one chart :) I don't think America is the most transparent country in the world.

Credit Suisse did the research and reported the chart+numbers.

And Trump is all about protectionism. If America wasn't the most protectionist country before, it certainly will be very soon.
Miles on the car. Given how the article states that the tires alone are good for 5k miles and cost $1600 to replace, that's 32 cents per mile just for the tires. If you're going somewhere far enough away that it's worth your money to fly instead of drive, it'll also be worth your money to rent a local car rather than have your Tesla drive to meet you.

I am not a Tesla owner, so please correct me if I got the cost/mileage of the tires wrong.

You're not wrong, but Docker comes at it from a different angle; Docker expects you to be handing around tagged images, to solve a similar set (but not the same set!) of problems that reproducible builds solve.

Ideally, I want _both_ of them: tagged Docker images being sent between environments (with `docker run -e SOME_ENV=testing imagename` for changing the internal config), but reproducible builds in my Dockerfile. I wonder if Nix can be used to achieve that last part?

I speculate that the real reason they are canning the canary program is that it was headed for extinction all by itself anyway.

Reddit's canary is gone, and they made it as clear as they legally can that it was due to a National Security Letter.

Effectively the canary program lost one of its best assets and few people gave a damn.

The flaw at the heart of the canary program is that it relied on public uproar when a canary disappeared. In the absence of that, they will disappear one by one - death by a thousand cuts - and then the program itself is dead.

EFF have seen the writing on the wall and pulled the plug before the program was seen to be doomed anyway.
Even a tiny sliver of 1.3 billion people may be worth pursuing once other markets are saturated.

My personal car was stopped by octroi officers near a state border in India. They searched my car, and then said that I should have paid octroi tax on the personal computer I was carrying in the car.

I told them that all taxes were paid including VAT and Octroi for the computer when I bought it 5 years ago.

The said it doesn't matter, I must stop at the Octroi office and pay taxes again every time I am crossing a state border for everything I am carrying in my vehicle.

He said my only option is to pay them bribe, or they will impound my vehicle indefinitely.
I started having issues a few months ago when I moved desks at work to one which was not as ergonomically well adjusted as my previous desk. I was surprised how quickly my wrists began to hurt.

After doing a bit of research, and going back to my old desk, things have gotten much better.

The changes I made are
1) don't wrest your wrists on the desk when typing. Apparently we're supposed to have our wrists raised...who knew?

2) I use more keyboard shortcuts. I've taken to using virtual desktops in windows to switch between screens rather than mouse between windows. Works great.

3) reduce mousing activity when you can (learn keyboard shortcuts if you haven't. When you do mouse, don't use your wrist. I used to place my wrist on the desk and my fingers on the mouse. Now I place my palm on the mouse. This causes you to use your arm to mouse around and is less stressful on your wrist.

That's what I've tried so far. Still not 100%, but definitely getting better.
This definitely sounds like the most cost effective solution.

What does the process look like when you're changing the FROM field when composing an email (e.g. sending from SomeUser@ExampleA.com and then another email from AnotherUser@ExampleB.com)? I'd hate to forget to change it and send out an email from the wrong email address. But it would be nice to manage all emails from one account.

This does not make sense based on my own experience of launching phones in India with Intex, Spice and a few other Indian manufacturers. 'Indian' smartphones are all made in Shenzhen.
