Rajan stood for poor India... He saw through this... He was told to go.
My respect for rajan grew all the more the day I learnt that he had reservations about demonetisation plan.... .. I can see clearly why he was asked to go.

"So that this ill planned move became reality. "
True for certain kind of works, but for drivers or other non intellectual work that could be very hard to do. When in Italy you force the "contractor" POV, if the employee can show that she or he is not independent in the time of the work, location, and so forth (basically must show up), then the setup is illegal.
"'There is no difference between Time and any of the three dimensions of Space except that our consciousness moves along it,' says the Traveller. That turned out, amazingly and counterintuitively, to be true. 'In surprisingly short order this notion would become part of the orthodoxy of theoretical physics,' says Gleick."

What? Spacetime does contain four dimensions, but the whole reason that time travel is fiction, rather than fact, is because the time dimension is different from the space dimensions.
This is absolutely true, but let us remember that the creepiest pervasive surveillance entity in SV is probably Palantir. I am sure that Obama did not give Peter Thiel warm fuzzies (based on his position on the Trump transition team) and yet they showed no sign of abatement during Obama's presidency.

I think it is foolish to think all of SV are allies of the people.
NVIDIA has been trying to pivot into a "services" company for a while, NVIDIA GRID/Gaming Cloud, computing etc. "AI" or at least fused sensor automation seems like a good place for them since they already have both the hardware and the software expertise for this.

NVIDIA actually gave up on even attempting to do console graphics again since they didn't want their pipeline to be suffocated by these draconian single customer contracts. What keeps AMD's graphics department alive these days, is exactly what would have prevented NVIDIA from pushing their business forward.
The long term trend doesn't look good, though.
Looks interesting, which features do you intend to cover?

How are you going to onboard people with previous (extensive) experience using spreadsheets but not with feature X?
No, no, maybe (I am 25y/o)

I read many responses mentioning you should have kids to 'pass on your genes' so potentially your offspring can be a 'better you' and improve the world.

I would argue that adoption could be a good alternative. When adopting, you are potentially doing all this without actually contributing to the world population increase.

Also, I think RMS made a respectable choice, and probably indeed contributed more to society than if he would have had kids. Not having kids is IMHO probably a harder decision than actually having kids.
In general, people tend to overestimate technological advancement in the short term.
And just as another probability we can also consider this. 6% of economic output isn't something dramatic - just think, many companies can have quarter-to-quarter results fluctuating more than that - so it's entirely possible that China won't notice that much, especially if the reduction is evenly spread.

More, in autocratic economies people sometimes have higher tolerances to sudden economic turmoils, so it could be just another example of that. Those 6% could even be redistributed, possibly lowering prices elsewhere but in general decreasing, dampening and postponing the direct effect - so possibly not creating anything of a huge problem for China.

Regarding USA springing back into self-reliance mode, one can - just as an example, possibly not particularly relevant - see how other countries behave, and how quickly they adjust. As recently demonstrated by Russia, some "remarkable snapping into action" suspiciously didn't happen, and so far economy slides downward two years in a row. That's after lots of rationalizations of Russians which products they don't really need - and reminding that, again, the tolerance to economic hardships there could be bigger than in US.

Of course it's also unreasonable to imagine that not only China, but a whole set of countries could decide against US simultaneously. Never had examples of that in the past, right?

Once again, this is just another perspective to the reality check proposed.
I can certainly understand wanting to make this transition. One thing to bear in mind, though, is that corporate programming jobs can end up having a lot of focus on process and highly-structured modes of collaboration that make it a very different experience from coding on your own. As a tech PM, you're probably more aware of this than people coming from some other backgrounds, but still something to watch out for, especially if you're tempted because you enjoy hobby coding.
It probably does, but what good does that do if the source code wasn't transported securely and verified from the upstream to the packager?

Disclaimer: I don't know anything about brew packaging practices. Maybe they always require verification. Maybe they don't.
I've seen this "is not a real news source" on both sides. From the right it's often cast as MSM or liberal media bias.

This attitude is destructive as it's making it so difficult for us to come to any agreement on what we accept as a trustworthy third-party. Where do we start to give people some benefit of the doubt? As it is, even "trust but verify" can appear impossible. I'm not advocating some "can't we all be friends" platitude. As a practical matter, how do we move forward from here?

‘Maybe Americans Should Know What It’s Like to Have a Dictator’
I'm curious. Have you tried asking a US engineer to improve the brick? I've had that experience, and the engg. team came back to me and asked me to improve the spec. I was an Indian product manager using engineers in the US (for a very very very large US software company) I had to specify the exact length of a text input field for a search box, because the team couldn't figure it out for themselves! Idiots exists everywhere.
It's intended to make people wake the fuck up and deal with problem(s) (next time) before it is too late, like it is now for this issue.

The saying goes "they went after group 'A' I didn't like, then after group 'B', now they're after me and I care. Well maybe if you 'A', and 'B' worked together against your common enemy instead of being selfish, short-sighted and stupid you wouldn't be fucked right now"

We are idiots and deserve everything that happens next 4 years.
It was the fourth link on a google search for "stallman married".

As to why somebody would put such a thing up I don't know. I started to click around his site a bit more after posting and became increasingly uncomfortable.

I find it saddening, but of what I did see of the rest it seems he views his ventures into personal relationships as amusing, and I can't help but consider such openness in his specific case to be useful as a warning for those in our society who may fall down a similar path without intending to.
This is vague and hyperbolic.

For starters, there is no united group known as "liberals" whom either of us can speak on behalf of, but I will indulge you and also speak in generalizations.

Liberals do not arbitrarily support "moving as much power to Washington as possible". Rather, they believe strongly that human rights should be dispensed equally to everyone in the country. If abortion is a right, then being born in Texas shouldn't deprive a woman of that right any more than being born in the south in the 19th century should've deprived blacks of their freedom. Similar arguments can be made for gay marriage, miscegenation laws, female suffrage, the availability of healthcare for the poor, quality education, etc.

There's nothing whatsoever baked into the liberal ideology that supports things like domestic spying and warrantless wiretaps. Rather, the better explanation is any branch of government (in this case the executive branch) is incentivized to increase its own power, and people tend to be biased in favor of their party's presidents. But I've met countless pro-Snowden liberals, and I think you've really mischaracterized the essence of what makes liberals liberal.
Many people. And I still don't expect to see general-purpose (secondary roads/cities, range of weather conditions) for decades.

Most bootcamps that I'm aware of are for training web developers, with a few going into mobile app development. That will give you some basic coding skill but is probably not going to get you very far in the direction you want to go.

You'd most likely be better off seeking an online CS degree.
Tourists where only cash is accepted are the most effected. They didn't come to India to stand in queue to pay fo meals.... They came to travel freely.

I can see every minute it will become nightmare because nobody wants to spend because they don't have change. In matter month the tourism which relies on cash will be dead.

Which is a kind of computer, and thus can do all the things that are hard to do with physical cards.
Technically the fourth variable that a receiver solves for is the clock error in the receiver, not the actual time (though that then follows easily enough). The system of equations is only solvable because it is assumed that the clock error of the satellietes relative to each other is zero. I'm not convinced though that time dilation is the same for all the satellites, since they are not all in the same orbit.

Since the system works by determining signal delay between the satellite and the receiver and the signals move at (rougly) the speed of light, even an nanosecond error in time is already a 30 cm error in position. According to [0] the clock drift due to relativistic effects would be over 45000 nanoseconds per day. So keeping the clocks synchronized for all the satellites is crucial and relativistic corrections are super important for accurate positioning.

No, I'm assuming that the number of contributors is the number of people who's contributions - code - was merged into this release.

I'm disputing the six weeks figure by assuming exactly what you outline above - that 'work done' is different from 'code merged' - so contributors may well have produced the work over a period of a year or more, and it just happens that those contributions came together for this release

Anyway, it's not really important, I didn't mean for this to descend so far - regardless of the time frame it's fantastic that so many are contributing to the project :)
You mean to say people living meal to meal have all 500s and 1000s ? How else to push for cashless economy even after 2yrs plea to operate bank a/cs ? The only reason traders deal cash is to underreport income and avoid taxes. If villagers use mobiles today, they will use plastic cards tomorrow. Wearing helmets, condoms, filing IT returns, are all necessities. Ignorance not an excuse.

>...all Muslims...

Not ALL Muslims.

ONLY the Muslims IMMIGRANTS from countries with direct ties to terrorist groups.

So how can he be racist if he's only banning the Muslims from countries with direct ties to terrorism, and not ALL Muslims? He's not banning ALL Muslims immigrants like you claim.

And this has nothing to do with religion. An immigrant don't even have to be Muslim. ANY immigrants (ANY, not just Muslims) that are attempting to enter the United States from a country with direct ties to terrorism will not be allowed into the United States until vetting can be done.
How Green Is That Grocery Bag Ban? (2014) [pdf]
I absolutely agree with this premise philosophically, but history speaks against it sometimes.

Civil rights are a great example. Minorities living in the south during Jim Crow were always legally allowed to move north to freer states that wouldn't discriminate against them. But they didn't. Mostly because they were economically and informatively suppressed to the point where they no longer possessed free movement - either they could not afford the cost, or did not know the option existed through intentional disinformation.

The same applies today, for everything from legalized cannabis, to right to die, to bathroom law, to abortion availability and rights, to gay marriage before the supreme court decision. People who are oppressed by hostile local legislation still choose to stay, often because they don't have a choice.

But that is fairly black and white, and reality really isn't. The more interesting, and I think where the liberal argument gets its support more than anything, is in those who have the choice but have to weigh their options. It is an awful situation to be in to decide between gaining rights and leaving everything you know behind. People really resist leaving their homes, in all definitions of the term. There is resistance to leaving your parents house. To leaving your hometown. To leaving your home culture. And that resistance often defeats people who would, objectively, and purely analytically, be better served just leaving.

But that is 20/20 hindsight showing itself. At the time, these people do not know what might happen. They have to weigh the risks. And there is a tremendous natural human aversion to risk. It drives millions of people who would be more prosperous - economically, personally, etc - to stay where they are and not take what they perceive and weigh as unnecessary risk.

A lot of this is a problem of the times. The more opportunity you have in your destination the lower the risk of moving there. Opportunity, in aggregate, is at generational lows today in the US. It suppresses mobility, and that generational lack of opportunity and thus promotion of conservative decisions regarding your own prosperity and rights creates the environment for top-down policy to centralize authority over the whole, to use a wide brush to direct ideology than letting people chose their own. Because in practice, many people cannot make that choice, objectively or as a product of their own uncertainty, and the liberal wing that pushes centralized power to assert their beliefs see that people suffer in conditions they wouldn't need to if they had perfect information and had no emotional baggage holding them back from seizing opportunity.

Distributing power, localizing governance, and making it as democratic as possible in the process is the path to maximal liberty and happiness. But it requires that people actually take advantage of that opportunity. If you build it, how are they to come if they don't know its there?
But we also know that the KKK donated $20,000 to Hillary.
Outsource This Job Role and Make the Most of Your (Growing) Business
There is also at least one auction site with a similar business model that is practically a legal scam; bids cost money/points, and every bid increases the price by a fixed amount and extend the clock. Non-successful bids aren't paid back, of course.
And the people who make the real money, reinvest it by buying a pretence of scientific ignorance from politicians.
My point is just that they may have produced the patch outside of the six week period. When it makes the release is somewhat arbitrary, and out of the contributor's control.

Regardless, as I said below, it's great that so many people are contributing whatever the time frame :)
This is shallow and is part of the reason Trump won.

They prioritize culture, heritage, tradition, community, and stability (economic and social) over academic knowledge, mobility, novelty, etc.

They are not dumb or more dishonest on average than anyone else, and the cognitive biases and blind spots they have are identical to yours. They are 99.99...% genetically identical to you.

What they have is a different goal function.

If you want to solve a monster global problem like climate change, part of it is finding solutions that can be viewed as positive from the perspective of the many operating goal functions in the world. The world is huge so this is hard. One sided answers that try to herd the rest through shame will fail, as they have for the right on other issues like abortion.
Well that's shady.
> Is slate.com then a "real news source"?

Slate.com does not describe themselves as a news source, so apparently not. I've certainly never thought of them as informative.

I can't personally comment on Breitbart's content, but apparently a number of their employees quit earlier this year, believing that the site has lost its journalistic integrity since the death of Andrew Breitbart.
We do have a rat problem. There are quite a few predator free areas in NZ which are islands or fenced inland areas. With fenced off areas, more problematic than rats are mice, which can get though truely tiny holes in fences, jump quite high and are hard to control. At least rats can be fenced out more easily. In terms of killing pests, some great equipment has been developed recently. A homegrown CO2 powered ", self resetting trap has impressive functionality and ongoing testing is really promising.

>> You misspelled "shit"

ahh S--t, so I did
I would very much like that yet, like Germany's rental laws. That way, you don't develop a two tier class system of tenants with no security or attachment to their local community, and owners.
Back in the cold war days it was something of a banal truism that only an objective, external threat--e.g. alien invaders--could ever get us squabbling apes to set our differences aside and work together towards some common goal.

It is very likely that within a decade the effects of climate change will go from "scientists arguing" to "transparent to everyone".

Although this will not exactly be "alien invaders"--"real life godzilla" seems closer to the mark--civilization as we know it will be faced with an external threat that cares not for what we think--indeed, that cannot be bargained with--but only for how we act (and indeed, if we act).

If nothing else that thought experiment will become a real experiment soon; I hope we make it through.

One thing to consider is how much uglier our national discourse will likely become. For example, the narrative around our recent election seems to be settling around a rejection of urban and coastal elites and experts: middle america is tired of being ignored, insulted, condescended-to, looked down upon as ignorant yokels, and so on and so forth..."show us and our opinions some respect", they say, electing the man who's now appointing the man who's going to (literally) slam the pedal to the metal while (figuratively) rolling coal all the way.

I wonder how these people will wind up being thought-of once climate change goes from deniable--as it is now, at least domestically--to undeniable (as it certainly will, and likely soon).

I mean, seriously: if for forty years you've been warned by experts that continuing to do X will eventually lead to Y, you continue to do X, and it eventually leads to Y...how can you reasonably expect anyone to respect you? To consider your opinions worth the time and energy even to listen to, let alone take into consideration? Why should you not expect to be seen as anything other than an idiot in the classical sense ("incapable of useful reasoning; danger to self and others")?

I do not expect this to end well--culturally and socially--and expect it will play out far uglier than the dust bowl...

I also think readers on this site vastly underestimate how radically the world will shift once change becomes undeniable; the default assumption seems to be that things will generally continue as they always have right up until it gets so bad it's game over for everyone.

In reality, as soon as it climate change begins having undeniable impacts expect a radical changes in financial behavior...which will likely have direct, pervasive impact upon daily life well in advance of the direct impacts of climate change proper.

Will the 30-year mortgage remain typical for home purchases? Will 5-year commercial leases remain typical? Will it remain possible to price weather derivatives accurately enough to be viable? Will SV angels continue hobby-investing in high-risk, high-reward gambles, or turn their attention to second homes in northern latitudes?

I can only see a move to shorter time horizons and more risk aversion from the private sector.
Facebook was able to spread negative news about Trump, but Facebook was unable to stop the spread of negative news about Hillary.

In the end though, it didn't matter, because Facebook's Minister of Truth was unable to stop Trump's rallies. People who actually went to Trump's rally saw the truth, and that truth was very very different from what Facebook was claiming to be true about Donald Trump.

In the end, the truth prevails.

Nothing was more eye opening to the voters than going to a Trump rally, coming back, turning on the TV, and seeing live on TV the media twisting Trump's words and taking it out of context to make him look bad.
I'm starting out with courses on fundamentals, but we can also do deep-dives on specific niche topics. Think, courses on "Performance Optimization", "VLOOKUP", "Managing Large Datasets", etc.
> At the end of the day, nothing is permanent if the landlord stops paying their mortgage or other loan secured on the property you're renting.

In Germany, selling the house makes no nevermind to the tenants. Considering how many people rent here, it just makes sense to encourage long-term tenancies, they lead to better communities.
I played around with it, seems to do exactly what it says on the tin and is super easy to start with.

I think this might have been a hypothetical question on your part, but one name does stand out to me, and that's Tim Cook.

Consider that Trump was openly hostile toward Apple on the campaign trail, and that Tim Cook himself is gay, and the GOP establishment wants to roll back protections for LGBT+ individuals.

And consider Apple's vast war chest, which could really make a difference assuming Citizens United isn't overturned.
