I'd hire you but I'd still make you use a framework.

Convention makes code readable and maintainable. A framework is essentially shared convention that you don't have to maintain. Making your own framework shows that you understand the value of convention.

A framework means that spaghetti code can only get so bad. A bad ad-hoc implementation of a web platform is an order of magnitude worse than bad code written on top of a popular web platform.

Seems like the best advantage of in car navigation is the GPS. Seems like many car GPS are rock solid, lock quickly, and can handle short outages because they know the speed and compass direction.

Maybe car windows are tinted more often now? I often get a marginal signal in my car, seems worse than in my house.

Anyone had luck with a magnetic attached bluetooth GPS they can put on their car roof or similar to improve a smartphone's GPS signal inside a car?
I'm not prepared to dignify the argument that white people left neighborhoods that were beginning to integrate, en masse, to form new all-white enclaves --- and then fled again when those enclaves started to integrate --- as a purely rational reaction to crime.

The idea that the arrival of black people in a homogenous white neighborhood is a harbinger of intractable crime problems is itself an example of systemic racism. I don't care if you feel it's justifiable racism.

There are places in the US --- St. Louis is probably the best example --- where you can observe white flight creating strata of suburbs like the rings on a tree. Ferguson was one of those suburbs: 99% white in 1970, majority black now, but (until very recently) with institutions controlled by whites.

If white people are re-colonizing the inner cities of some of these places, I'm not prepared to see that as a purely hopeful sign (or, worse, a sign that white flight was itself benign or justified). Rather, I'd worry that we're progressing towards an outcome that France has seen in its own cities, with vital city centers ringed by poor, disadvantaged suburbs.

I don't know what you mean by "intrinsic". Kalium said:

The educational experience of students is not dictated wholly by teachers, curriculum, and facilities.

You seemed to disagree with his claim. Due to this apparent disagreement, I interpreted "intrinsic" to mean something other than teachers, curriculum and facilities. The Chetty paper, and the entire need for VAM (as opposed to just measuring raw test scores), shows this to be true. Do you believe this to be false?
> only know how to build web pages using frameworks like Angular and React

I've never been able to fathom how anybody can do that without understanding the foundation that it's built on. At the bare minimum, how the heck do these people troubleshoot errors? If you have so much as a typo in your code, Angular is going to give you a completely cryptic jQuery error message.
This has bitten me occasionally, even though I know the workarounds (tempfiles or pipe-consumers like sponge(1)).

Way back in the mid-1980s in the United Kingdom, and there were few places more 80s than that, Superior Software produced Speech!, a software speech synthesis program for the BBC Micro, a 6502-based machine running at 2MHz which didn't have PCM audio. It could reasonably reliably read out ordinary English text in a fairly robotic voice.

It was 7.5kB of 6502 machine code.

There's a writeup from the author here: http://rk.nvg.ntnu.no/bbc/doc/Speech.html and a demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8wyUsaDAyI

It was an utter sensation (featuring, among other places, as the computer voice in Roger Waters' Radio Kaos).

It's obviously not going to win awards, being barely intelligable, but if you can achieve that with a table of 49 phonemes each of 128 4-bit samples, then producing basic speech isn't that hard. I think that mespeak.js, which is what this demo is based on (which is pretty cool, BTW) is based on the same principle, although with obviously better samples.

(Unlike producing human sounding speech, which is appalling difficult.)
Yes: white flight is obviously the product of a cascade, seeded by the belief of a core group of virulently anti-black racists that any incursion of black residents in all-white neighborhoods will bring crime with them, and bolstered by the rational belief by other white residents that the reactions of their racist neighbors will decrease property values, spur an exodus from the neighborhood that harms the tax base, and eventuate the crime that the racists were concerned about.

Like I said: I'm willing to concede that not all of the participants in white flight were wearing Klan hoods. What I'm not willing to do is blame their victims for the systemic, perpetual disadvantage this phenomenon created.
Thank you for that.

I posted a reply on an online forum earlier today where I said that 90% of Arduinos, etc. are sitting in someone's desk drawer gathering dust and the other 10% are doing some very trivial task. Then I felt I was being too negative, so I deleted the post.

At least now I feel somewhat vindicated :-)

Actual crime arrived in those neighborhoods. There is no shortage of statistics to prove this.

I highly recommend listening to a recent episode[1] of Planet Money. This was by no means an accident. As a short summary of one employee's plight:

Ashley, working for them and making only $35k per year in San Francisco, was continually harassed to sign people up for accounts they didn't want. An old man comes in, pensioner, $200 in overdraft fees due to being duped into excess accounts. She dips into her own savings to get him back in the black. She reports the incident to the internal ethics line. Nothing. Tries again. Nothing. She refuses to fraudulently push excess accounts onto people. Fired. Worse, Wells Fargo put her onto a permanent blacklist that others in the industry pay attention to - she can't get a job anywhere else.

Imagine making $35k per year in San Francisco - insanely low given the region - and dipping into your own pockets to help fix a situation your own company created. Then, as thanks, being eventually fired by that company for not continuing the practice and being blacklisted in your field of work. I'm desperately hoping Ashley sues Wells Fargo in a defamation suit but I fear the likelihood of that is low - even if it's not the first time it has happened to Wells Fargo[2] ...

At best, upper management were willfully negligent of the impact that their insane sales goals had on the ethics of the company. At worst, upper management were actively trading any ethical notions they could get hold of for money, ripping apart the lives of employees and customers on the way.

So, apparently not all causes are equally legitimate. Is "public support" the rubric here? How much public support?

The thing about Ferguson is that the "protest" was based on completely false pretenses. The guy the protestors chose to build their narrative on robbed a store, assaulted the clerk, then assaulted the cop who was there to investigate the robbery. The actual evidence was on the side of the state in that particular case, which is probably why the cop who shot him was never charged.
I'm surprised no individuals at the executive level have been charged with crimes, to be honest. Or perhaps it's simply too soon and that's the next shoe to drop.

Weeelll ... not use a bike any more?? How are you going to get around then? :) :)

Indeed most would refuse and not do it, and if largely enforced, many would still refuse and not do it. ... but give up our bikes? Never! :)

They'll never enforce it though. Too many bikes. Take mandatory working front and back lights. I don't know about all cities of course, but where I live, they only enforce that a few weeks per year, at only a few same spots every year. Any other time, anywhere else, you can drive past a police car with no lights and they won't stop you (because they are there with something better to do). And this is for a bike law that pretty much everyone agrees is useful and important for safety (it's just that those damn lights break so quickly).

> Good luck suing Facebook for patent-infringement

Protecting from patent lawsuits is not evil as SW patents are bullish anyway. No one except maybe some patent trolls or some other big companies will sue Facebook for patent infrigment and if they do then this is a pretty clever defence. If you really really have something really really unique invented (which is really really unlikely) then just don't use anything by Facebook.

Power BI can connect directly to many database engines. Queries are generated on the fly by the reporting engine in a proprietary language called DAX, and DirectQuery is a technology that translated DAX into SQL queries.

This is a mode of operation that has been supported by Microsoft's SSAS OLAP engine for years.

It works quite well, but you do run into some performance overhead with the transpiling step.

I think there's fairly strong evidence that the answer would be "yes" to that question.

I doubt that. Netflix didn't start with original content. They had to spend many years acquiring their substantial member-base before they started experimenting with the original content. If the company literally launched with House of Cards with no existing members to speak of, it would have been much tougher for them to convince people to pay them money and watch their as yet unproven original content.
Related Suggestion: Start with experiments, then read theories. This is very true for QM (or any other modern science). Start with older texts. Read the thought process of past giants.

Avoid all "textbooks". Especially the one with >1ed/decade. These will only teach you how to pass in exams and useless "tricks". These will result in worse understanding of nature. Remember go to the source.

Bravo to the directors for waking up. Any time there's a long-serving CEO of a big public company, it's as if the directors have been chloroformed. They generally show no ability to question the boss, let along hold him/her accountable for anything.

One interesting thing to note is that the actual license makes no specific references to the patents rider, and in fact the patents grant rider is a separate file completely.

The advantage of the intermediate step, I believe, is that you get everything in sql for free, without the need to re-implement. From the framequery docs:
