They are faster but only if you aren't waiting on them to set someone else. Also due to the nature of duckpin, strikes and spares are harder to get so they typically aren't setting every pin.
Same with Drucker, Deming, and other great management thinkers of the 20th century who repeated similar mantras: respect your people, build good systems, and you have a better chance of succeeding.

We're doomed to repeat ourselves, as understanding complexity is not an easy thing to do, and it takes significant time, experience, and effort to unlearn your assumptions and learn to get closer to reality.
That is the starting point of the game Firewatch, by the way:

Just used KiCad to design a guitar amplifier, really happy with it.

Now I'm designing a PCB, and what's lacking is good part placing and trace routing. I feel like there should be a an algorithmic way to do what I'm doing by hand. It sort of reminds me of the traveling salesman problem.
Let us not muddy the waters with "Dodge vs. Ford" nonsense. Not only was a fair chunk of the original decision reversed on appeal, but it's also fairly well known in business law that "Dodge vs. Ford" is an aberration and not solid precedent.
Its not like rats aren't around any more.
If it helps, Walmart don't pay their employees poorly because they are less moral than other companies, but because they hire a different type of employee from, for example, Starbucks. If you happen to live in a place with Starbucks and Walmart, try visiting both and then ask yourself if the Walmart employee would stand a chance of getting a job at Starbucks.

Merger and Acquisition – Intellectual property due diligence
A pithy quote, but it does not have to be. There is no reason or law that prevents us from acknowledging our failures in the past and updating our beliefs to the corrected findings of the present. Death is just the minimum bar, the floor, for progress, not the ceiling.
Newton's method and other numerical methods are the hello world of machine learning.

Why numerical methods?

* They might produce the right answer

* They frequently do

* They are easy to visualize or imagine

* You get used to working with a routine that is both fallible but quite simple and remarkably able to work in a wide variety of situations. This is what machine learning does, but there are more sophisticated routines.

At some point you need to make a decision to go down the road more focused on analysis & modelling vs machine learning & prediction. It's not that the two are exclusive, but they really do seek to address really big forks in the problem space of using a computer to eat up data and -- give me predictions or give me correct answers

Google needs lots of prediction to fill in holes where no data may ever exists. Analysis and modeling can really fall down when there is no data to confirm a hypothesis or regress against.

An engineer needs a really good model or the helium tank in the Falcon 9 will explode one time in twenty vs one time in a trillion. The model can predict, based on the simulation of the range of parameters that will slip through QA, how many tanks will explode. Most prediction methods are not trying to solve problems like this and provide little guidance on how to set up the model.

On the prediction side, you will learn all the neural net and SVM stuff.

On the analysis and modelling side, get ready for tons of probability and Monte Carlo stuff.

They are all fun.

Laws and morals change, and sometimes they are not concomitant. I am speaking of an ideal equilibrium where the law is the manifestation of universally agreed-upon morals. In this case, some may have higher morals than the law requires, but to violate the law would be immoral per se.
As you noted, that's duckpin bowling, which uses differently shaped pins than "standard" ten pin bowling; shorter yet heavier. The New York Times did a nice mixed media piece a while ago on the sport and its fading popularity, which in part is because the additional difficulty in creating a mechanized pinsetter for this type of pin. There was a successful pinsetter invented, but the manufacturer went out of business in the 70s and declined the license the patent to other companies. Now there is a dwindling number of vintage pinsetting machines left, many of which have been cannibalized for parts to keep existing machines running.

>set_error_handler("myErrorHandler"); function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) { throw new Exception($errstr, $errno); }
Is all you need.

So you think boxing all kinds of errors into one generic exception type is a solution to this shortcoming of the language?

That sure feels like a 'php' solution. I will give you that. But that ain't pretty (even as a work around), and no, it does not do the job. May be if you don't know how to work with exceptions in the first place, then it might work for you. But you might end up with a code base like this [1]

I used to work in a record store (well, CD store) in the 90s. It was fun but times change!

I liked the job in part because I got introduced to a lot of new music. But with the internet, it is so much easier to discover new music than it was, even for a record store employee.
While I am sympathetic to people concerned with the amount of scientific trash talk online, I have to agree with the basic thesis:

Evidence-based policy is important. The alternative is gut-feel based populist wingnuttery.

To stand against Trumpism, evidence-based policy needs to be above reproach. The correct way to be above reproach is to be flawless, not to silence informed criticism.
Poison and traps were in wide use at the time of the photos in question and had been for some time.

The only reason that "ratcatcher" is a job that no longer exists is because it changed names to "exterminator", the same way that "secretary" no longer exists as a job and is now called "administrative assistant". Preferred titles have changed over time, but the basic job of killing rats absolutely still exists.
This kind of runs against the philosophical ideal of the limited workweek though. The idea is that people should never have to work more than 40 hours to make ends meet, and so when working 40 hours is not enough, the government will close the gap.

Sure, we could probably reduce welfare dependence by allowing people to work 60h a week, but that would be abandoning one of the most important principles of the fair labor standards act and greatest achievements of the labor movement.

It's currently used in production by two online marketeers.
My guess is they use it for around 20~30 queries each a week.

They are currently testing it to see if it solves all of their problems (we just finished building it) and we're considering adding a 'bulk mode' where you can just upload a spreadsheet and get results back in another spreadsheet later.

Is it possible that gitlab's position is that the presence of malware is proof that the site is vulnerable, not that the malware is the vulnerability?
This will most likely break a lot of existing code. Even if it works, it means I'll be parsing text to figure out what exactly happened (exception not only signal "that something happended", but also "what exactly happened". In languages that use them properly that is). Third, nobody does it. Most importantly, stdlib doesn't do it. All of does make PHP bad for me.

And we never did. When the country was founded, only white male land owners could vote. Ah, the good old days.
Probably overkill when the metrics are so easy to gather.

I think old-school SPC techniques will take us a lot of the way.

And even before that, asking people what they already watch is good too.
In this case, since the attacker has access to the source code, they could easily disable a site's Content Security Policy.
In the very long run if we can reproduce human intelligence in a machine, maybe this will become a reality, but we are probably far, far away from it. (and further than we think we are).
Machine learning works by writing a framework for a computer to learn, then throwing tons of examples at the algorithm. The base may be created by humans, but the creativity actually comes from within the algorithm itself.

I was a big fan of Postscript and Forth. I loved Forth for the way it made you think about dividing up a program. It felt so natural to build a dictionary of words in pursuit of defining a higher level solution. I don't get the people who think its a write-only language. I came upon one of my old programs a decade after I first wrote it. Its was really easy to understand even now. Stack notation for comments with a bit of explanation are some fine documentation.

Postscript was a better Forth IMHO. I loved creating Postscript files for reports. My Turbo C, foxbase, and a Postscript printer were my main tools at my first job.
Yes, the same response.

> It's also worth mentioning that a side effect of efficiency wages is more unemployment. Paying more results in a better class of applicant, meaning that people who would normally use WalMart as the bottom rung of their career ladder are shut out.

This assumes that workers are of a fixed quality. I know I worked harder for $10/hour than I did for $7.25. Higher pay means stronger incentives to do well and less stress from poverty.

I was a big fan of "Thinking fast, thinking slow", like pretty much everyone, until the replication crisis came along. Now I see a lot of the work in this field as a sort of scientifically informed stereotyping that might someday end up on par with phrenology, but it's still fun to read and consider as if it were true. It's really awful how pseudo-science can get so far though.
Yes. So to get something taken down, all you have to do is allege copyright violation. If you're not concerned about perjury in the US courts, the claim doesn't have to have merit.

Service providers have a choice:

a) follow the DMCA takedown process and be shielded from all liability, whether or not the claim has actual merit

b) evaluate each takedown notice to decide if the material falls within the scope of copyright, ignore takedowns where in the service provider's opinion the material is outside the scope of copyright, and should it go to court, be forced to defend that position on its merits instead of having an automatic liability shield

What sensible service provider is going to choose option b?

They aren't doing it for the economy they are doing it because their sales were sliding as a result of poor customer experience. They realized that their focus on lowest possible labor cost left them in a position where they were getting the least ambitious bottom of the barrel labor. So they hypothesized that by training people in basic retail concepts, like how to stock a shelve to be visually attractive, offering people an above minimum wage and a path to better opportunities within the company that they could have a better trained workforce and better retain those people.
>Come on, if a handful inconsistent function names is all the problem with PHP..

I don't know about OP. But it is not just that. Php is a flawed language to its roots. Just think of the community that has tolerated a feature like register_globals for, I don't know, 15 years?

This might be your best option.

I know people who gave me really good feedback about this (they incorporated in the US for your exact same reason).
No, the post you replied to opposes incorrect TLDRs. Not TLDRs in general.
It is an invalid question, like what is North of the North pole? Values are always relative; to whom and for what purpose. The proper question is; can values be objective, rational, scientific, i.e. proved to be true for ALL humans.

not even. There are many companies that pay higher-than-category wages just because they want to get the best employees possible. Look at what's happening in the Valley for the more popular companies. They pay more than average and give you tons of benefits on top.
The problem with bulk email is that the volume of spam has created a whitelisth/blacklist system. The primary value of third party services is that they are not blacklisted and anyone rolling their own bulk email solution is likely to be quickly blacklisted because some recipients will move the newsletter to their junk folder on Gmail or mark it as junk in Outlook with telemetry turned on and those will be the primary results that go into the various spam filters.

From a different perspective, pretty much anyone who wants your newsletter probably already subscribes to other newsletters and their email is already in the third party bulk email service's database; the third party service is more likely to provide partial metrics on user behavior for users who don't want your newsletter; and most importantly if your SaaS is your business's primary product then building a bulk email service is a distraction and not something that creates much value for your users.

Good luck
I highly recommend the Udacity courses on machine learning. They even have ones on how to become a self driving car engineer.
As a merchant, I am the one responsible. When a stolen credit card gets used on my site, I am the one that has to pay for that (assuming Stripe does not block it through fraud prevention). Which is fine, because my fraud rate is very low. But it's an odd situation because in effect I am being penalized for someone else's lax security. Sure I could try to come up with my own fraud prevention algorithm but I highly doubt that as a small vendor I could beat Stripe in that department. So it doesn't matter how well I'm protecting my customer's card data, the fact is if someone's info is stolen from some other site or an atm skimmer or somewhere else, and then the perpetrator buys product from my site, I have to pay for that carelessness.

Personally I think the banks should be paying for the bulk of this fraud out of the 2-3% transaction fees, not merchants who may not have anything to do with the problem. This way, there's strong incentive to actually issue secure cards and improve security. Right now, it's no skin off their backs, so nothing is improving.
That's not because they decided to get together to stop inflating waves that it means the waves were not high in the first place.
How can you be so confident? You have no proof of this (or at least have not demonstrated it) and are simply going on faith which is exactly what someone who says that consciousness comes from the soul is doing.

And even if consciousness is an emergent property of the structure of the brain, how could we have a simulated brain report that it is experiencing consciousness when we cant define what it is in the first place?

Not everyone can be a software engineer, and even if they could, we probably wouldn't need 7 billion of them.

For three decades the U.S. has been the primary scofflaw on this issue. Both Greenpeace and the LaRouche organization agree that we should use propane as a refrigerant because it is (i) cheap, (ii) highly efficient, (iii) non-toxic, and (iv) is not an extreme global warming gas.

So does everybody else, but in the U.S. we have long had this idea that the risk of fire is vastly greater than all of the other ways you can get killed. Thus kids get run over in the suburbs because they drive fast on wide streets designed to take the largest firefighting vehicles with ease. Thus we legislate that fabrics contain carcinogenic fire retardants, etc.

Just want to reiterate how nice a CSA share can be. Sometimes you need to be a little creative in the kitchen, but it's less expensive than buying the same quality elsewhere.

If that point about datageddon is true (strikes me as logical but im no data scientist), it seems that learning algorithms that can deduce the importance of datapoints based on a large but fuzzy dataset would be of significant importance.
Yes, but that also means humans are usually more resourceful than what we can imagine in the first place. Look back also in the early 1900s where all major newspapers were proclaiming the end of world and massive famine if we ever reached 1 billion people on Earth, and look where we are now: virtually no famines anywhere (except in war zones and in the worst dictatorships, which is now a minority) and the population is still growing and poverty is decreasing progressively. This would have been unimaginable 100 years ago.

So, let's not fool ourselves with predictions. We are notoriously bad a predicting long term trends.

PS: the analogy with horse is wrong in so many ways (because horses are not humans and cannot adapt like humans) but this would be another topic altogether.

From Wikipedia: "Her four most well-known contributions to the field of psychology are the stereotype content model, ambivalent sexism theory, the continuum model of impression formation, and the power-as-control theory."

Fiske's own work has examined neural systems involved in stereotyping, intergroup hostility, and impression formation."

Neural systems.
That CircleCI post seems to talk about different issues than I see when I think safety of random CI jobs.

It's a non-trivial problem to solve, especially with caching of artifacts involved. You'd probably want to run a sandbox inside a vm and secure the vm itself first, while having only ephemeral storage attached. Barring a container escape via just read/write/execve allowed inside the sandbox, which could probably also used to escape the surrounding vm, there isn't much you can do if you support running random stuff in a CI job.

Actually, maybe CI needs to be limited to tools that can run on something like ZeroVM.

Limiting persistent state and spinning up machines (vm or bare metal) for each job, while having no permanently active job runners, sounds like another defense to consider.

That said, I very much doubt any of the CI services goes to such great lengths, given the limitations involved.
