Not sure where you are referring to but in most places of the world data scientists/engineers don't have nor require a PhD.

There is a difference in the results for "portraits of European" and "portraits of Europeans".

"portraits of Europeans" contains a large number of non-European faces.

Nah, I think it caught a lot of flack because a lot of the research it contains is sloppy at best.

Some is downright hilarious, though, as you can see with the story of Apple according to Graeber:

"Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly Republican) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other's garages..."

As a side project / alone or in an organisation? I assimilate the former as theory, usually your work in this sort of project was not challenged by your pair. In an organisation, your work has been reviewed, challenged and you had gain real experience from that.

I don't know how to categorize the next case: A group side project. The work is challenged, but it is difficult to prove.

How to Deal with Bad Code (2013)
I mentioned that above, but I think this misses my point, which is:

If Akamai can't provide their service for free, then they shouldn't provide their service for free.

A CDN's whole business is resilience, which in this case makes them the bodyguard, not a bystander.

Whatever your opinion of Cloudflare, it seems clear to me that Matthew Prince keenly understands this, hence him reaching out and offering to step in and get Krebs back online.

tldr; If Akamai can't do the one job they exist to do in the face of an (albeit well armed) assailant, then they're the problem, not Krebs.
The joke would be in poor taste if it was literally true, but it is funny because we would all assume that is not the case.

So, if I report a scammer CloudFlare will forward my information to that criminal, putting me at risk. Gee, thanks!

and

Or to put it in the words that they answer every abuse request with:

Which basically translates to "We don't care, we want to pretend that we are not responsible for our actions."

>> Or: Broken tail-light -> hiding face behind hoodie -> hmm's and haw's when asked to leave vehicle for DUI test -> acting aggressive -> etc.

And a last objection: that's a crap (sorry) way to profile people. A kid with a hoodie talking trash to a cop is most probably a teenager trying to grow up -and failing, currently. Give them the time to succeed and go bust someone actually doing some harm. Everyone 'll be the better off in a world with more adults than juvenile idiots.

How often do you guess real perps go looking for trouble with the police? I'd guess, not very.
One of the main uses of lexers are in compiler.

There are others, certainly, like parsing various configuration formats etc. but they tend to either use tool generated lexers that tend to use dfa's, or handwritten lexers that may or may not use regexes, but there too it's fairly uncommon to see much regex use.

I custom write all of my lexers for exactly the reasons I outlined above.

I am sure Newton didn't name the unit of force after himself, so I would roughly place the invention of such possibility around early/mid nineteenth century, that is, about 200 years ago, which is when the research in such areas as electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics etc. was in full swing.
The Money is Gone
Why finance? Finance was the major viable option for people with your background but that's not the case anymore. Every industry needs people with your background -- more than ever!

However, if you're hell bent on going into finance and you're going to read one economics book, read Thomas Piketty, "Capital for 21st Century".

These are the classic economics tomes that you'd read over a lifetime:

Karl Marx, "Capital"
Adam Smith, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments"
Adam Smith, "The Wealth of Nations"
FA Hayek, "The Road to Serfdom"

For someone coming from a totally different field, I'd actually recommend the opposite approach: start with pop-econ to actually develop an interest, then move on to more serious academic works. Starting from zero, a textbook risks being far too boring to stick with. Best to generate an interest first, then dive deeper once you've got a context and hunger to know more.

Sure, can be met, and they are random accessible, but that means a lot more wiring, right? So density goes waaay down. (Or cost goes up.) Though maybe at least they can use their "7nm process" for this too, to keep things economical.
Exactly this.

Interesting. I've used C# heavily at my last couple of jobs and it has all been server side web work - mostly back ends of web apps, but also services and microservices of various kinds.

From talks with coworkers, the impression I've gotten is that most C# in the wild is running server side, though there's obviously a lot of it in desktop apps, and on mobile with Xamarin.

I came into the ownership experience pretty nervous that the touchscreen would be a distraction. But it works and works well. The screen is huge and all the targets are a comfortable size. You don't really get a feeling for the real scale of thing from a screenshot. It's organized and intuitive, with common controls well anchored to the edges and corners.

Working with an active navigation route was the one area where I felt they could improve. In particular, the UI for cancelling guidance is too small and fussy. I'm probably not the only one who noticed because it looks like they reworked some of that.

I am NOT optimistic about how they appear (in 8.0) to be hiding the main navigation at the top. Doesn't seem like the extra space was ever needed. It feels like a cosmetic decision that adds an extra step.
These kinds articles exhibit the worst brand of sophistry. It's like saying that metalwork is ethically complex because one might make a weapon.

That's not quite correct.

However, "engineering" in France is more of a title than a field. It corresponds to all degrees delivered by the écoles d'ingénieurs which, although they were intended to create engineers, have since evolved to meet the requirements of the job market, and have kept their name although their teachings aren't quite as strictly engineering-related as they used to be.

So yeah, you could get a degree from an engineering school that's mostly about statistics. But you could also learn about statistics while doing a math degree at the university. It's just some terminological oddity coming from our weird system.
The article seems to suggest that an attacker would be able to perform a (new) backup without unlocking the phone if they had access to a "pairing record from a trusted computer", which I assume means an iTunes installation that's paired with the phone. In other words, you might have to unpair the phone (or protect the iTunes installation with FDE) in addition to deleting any backups.

This was pretty extraordinary news.

It's been fine that company leaders take political positions because they have all been reasonably centrist (with leanings left/right). But Trump is the most provocative and polarising candidate we've seen in quite some time. And to not just support him but actively engage in this way is really unusual.

I can't imagine Zuckerberg is going to be at all impressed by this.
The real problem is that the minute it was found the teacher would probably be fired, or at a minimum put on administrative leave, the media would catch word of it and publicly tarnish him, parents would demand swift action, and before the investigation even had a chance to get going the guy's life would be ruined. In the end, even if he was found innocent, the lasting damage would done.
> "portraits of Europeans" contains a large number of non-European faces.

Which are the same that are showing up via the articles about art of european history from the original result. Again, this is just keywording working against your expectations. The relevant results for these keywords lead to articles discussing the presence of non-whites in European artwork.

What you envision for the results of the search terms are apparently different than how other people envision them. In this case, the search is considering portrait paintings, not portrait photos or anything, and from there, it looks like the most popular results are these articles.

Search for "[pictures, photos] of european people" or just "european people" and you get more pictures of white europeans. Unsuprisingly, once you search "paintings of european people" you start to get the aforementioned paintings once more.

This isn't a conspiracy or social manipulation, it's just that there is apparently enough discussion and interest in older european paintings including black people that searches related to paintings of europeans returns a few results with black people or indian people.

Ah, that's an interesting mission, and it's nice to know that Yeager supported his flying on that. There was some armchair quarterbacking of how Armstrong handled that, as you may know, by some of the lesser known astronauts.

It was pretty much the most dangerous situation an American astronaut ever encountered in orbit that required specialized piloting skills and very quick reactions to survive. A couple of other pilots thought he used too much fuel solving the problem, which resulted in him having to abort and reenter right away. The NASA leadership thought he did well enough that he was qualified to command an Apollo mission likely to land on the moon...
In other words, their monopoly or semi-monopoly means every action from them has severe effects on other markets, and them displaying any of their products before actual search results kills the competitors.

I didn't fully understand what the bug was, but I found on a German news page[1] with a slightly more detailed description:

Aufgezeichnet wurde zwar die Gesamtsehdauer aller User, geteilt wurde dieser Wert allerdings nur durch diejenigen User, die das Video länger als drei Sekunden ansahen

So the average was not calculated correctly: They accumulated the duration of all video views (including of those shorter than 3 seconds), but divided it by the number of 'legitmate' views - i.e. only those longer than 3 seconds. So you get a pretty big offset if you have many views under 3 seconds (which they probably do, thanks to autoplay).

>It goes without saying that speaking out against police violence or government overreach shouldn’t land you in a surveillance database. But it can, and it does.

People need to realize is that social sites are voluntary surveillance platforms to begin with.

In the best of cases they surveil you to learn what advertisements to show you, but of course once the infrastructure is built, it can be put to other uses.

Social media gives the government and spy agencies undreamed of power. They don't have to create a file on each citizen, the citizen will create and update it for them!

I anticipate (and hope) Google and other software vendor can step in and fill this void.

By the time other car makers going to release any serious competitor to Tesla , Tesla's software will be far advanced than those companies, and the thing about software is its design and implementation takes professional teams with a lot of experience. No matter how effective and advanced your team is, you need time to create a professional team to make mature software.

So the idea of other car makers somehow magically will design and implement software as mature as Tesla's , is wishful thinking I think.But software companies like Google, Microsoft, etc have required expertise in software development.

Please do not look upon popular economics best sellers as a good way to get a rounded economics education. While many have value in critical insight and entertainment, they often offer only a narrow perspective on economics. Novice economists typically lack the ability to critically appraise them without a wider economic framework to work from.

An academic reading list (i.e. university course texts) will provide you a good theoretical foundation as to how economists interpret and model real economic issues. It's important to grasp the plethora of important economic concepts like diminishing returns, comparative advantage and concepts of market efficiency (among many others things) and how they apply within micro or macro economic issues.

With some foundational knowledge in place, a good economist then goes on to relax the underlying assumptions and look for analogues in the real world. This is where the popular reading list come in, often they take a deep dive in specific areas i.e. where traditional economic assumptions break down.

In short, the academic reading list gives you a framework to understand economics. The best seller list tempers that framework with real world exceptions, paradoxes and open questions.

It's a bit disappointing to see a real academic reading list so far down this comment page (I strongly recommend looking at oli5679 suggestions). I doubt HNers would suggest reading up on javascript as a good foundation for a computer science education. Yes, you can become a well rounded computer scientist by starting on javascript. But it's more important to have a grasp on core computer science ideas like algorithm design & analysis and automata.

That's because there's a wealth of documentary evidence showing the Lincoln existed within the past 200 years.

Imagine if you were 10,000 years in the future. The United States has ceased to exist, and many of our monuments are buried in mud and rubble. The paper artifacts have mostly rotted away, or they lie buried in some preserving medium. No first-hand accounts remain from the period. One day, a team uncovers a partial statue of a seated man with a great beard. Was he a god, or an emperor of the land? How could they prove either stance without applying scientific techniques, gathering evidence from the remains of the surrounding buildings and analyzing it?

Archeology may not be a hard science, but it is an empirical science.
