Instead, his research suggests that society simply became less racist toward Asians.

I think some more interesting questions are why that happened, and why the same didn't happen with blacks.

Yes, disabling cursor acceleration requires some CLI fiddling and adding that to the autorun login scripts.

Also rotating the screen is not automatic in tablet mode.
There are a lot of scholars who think the current administrative state is not constitutional. The Supreme Court upholding administrative agencies are not well reasoned. Two are New Deal era cases, and Mistretta is a results-oriented bit of hand waving: "Applying this "intelligible principle" test to congressional delegations, our jurisprudence has been driven by a practical understanding that in our increasingly complex society, replete with ever changing and more technical problems, Congress simply cannot do its job absent an ability to delegate power under broad general directives."

Obviously the practical needs of Congress has no bearing on whether a delegation of legislative power is constitutional.

Oh, sorry. I forget about that effect. After lot of endless battles in newsgroups, I learned that text contains no emotions, so all emotions, which I may draw on my opponent, are in my head only.

How I should rewrite that text so it will not cause unwanted emotions, but will not look like a dictionary article? Can you help me, please? My level of English is not strong enough to be sure.

PS.

Even when (if) Pilot-Wave theory will be widely accepted, it will be theory, not a fact. :-)

Actually, PWT explains some effects much better than GTR. Moreover, walking droplets shows that relativistic and quantum effects can be described in terms of Newtonian physics, which is much easier to imagine and argue, which may cause significant advance in physics, after almost 100 years of "shut up and calculate".

That's practical, and for people like you and me who aren't bothered by the idea of not owning our own vehicle, but it's very culturally desirable in the US to own a personal vehicle. Not an unsolvable problem, but it will definitely be a bump in the road.
I don't get the impression the parent comment is saying "people are stupid". I think the point is "news != entertainment". At least it shouldn't be. If you want to be entertained go watch a movie. If you want to be informed well on a topic then read or watch the "boring" news.

If the incentive structure props up the "news == entertainment" organizations better than the "news == boring facts" organizations we have failed and will ultimately pay the price.
The Irish and Italians used to be considered non-white. I wonder if one day society will consider Asians as "white".

I've worked with both AWS and GCP (my day job is working on Cloud Foundry).

In every area that I've looked, GCP is so much better than AWS that it's offensive, bordering on obscene.

It's faster, cheaper, more configurable. The documentation is actually comprehensible. The APIs are consistent. There's a single console, rather than a fruit salad of conceptually different consoles under a single domain. The console is, in fact, navigable without invoking curses. Not even a small one.

AWS has the massive advantage of inertia. If you're deeply woven into the higher-level AWS services, I'd probably stay put.

But if you aren't, or you're just beginning, then holy moly you owe it to yourself to look.
God yes. Text and lack of imagination are the two curses of CS.

You're reading a lot into something they didn't even claim. They explain why they had to choose a specific race in the following paragraph:

> It was essential to keep the race and gender of the subjects constant to test my central question: How would reactions to my sanctioning message change based on the race of the bot sending the message?

Why they chose people who were white shouldn't really matter as their conclusion was not "white men are racists". It was just something that had to be kept constant and grouping on race is not something unfamiliar for researchers, especially since in this case the whole experiment was based on the races of the sender and receiver. (Also note that it's much easier to distinguish between black and white rather than if they made the profile pictures different shades on the Fitzpatrick Scale)
Feynman gave a whole lecture on this subject - the second or third lecture of the Messenger Lectures (much better timepass than night time TV show, second only to the Wizards Lectures and the five three seasons of The X-Files).

It seems that this is an ideal case for the Less Is More principle.
You missed the point. It doesn't matter what the goal is; this line of questioning is invasive and inappropriate.

Donald J Trump: "Mexicans coming to America are rapists"

Random Person: "That's pretty much racist"

Trump Supporter: "You're an idiot, ignoramus, shut up stupid, you didn't understand what he meant, he's not a lawyer - why should he have to worry about specific words"

"I am not saying this lightly" - you want to 'lose contacts and friends'?

Go into your office tommorow and repeat Trump's statement. In full - for context if you want.

You will lose your job immediately, and probably a few friends and acquaintances.

It doesn't matter that you voted for Trump, what your ethnicity or education is - that's besides the point.

What I care about is that some people clearly do not seem to understand what point-blank bigotry is when it's right in our faces.

This is not 'leftists overreach' or 'left wing bias' or 'social progressive oppression' - it's just bigotry on the part of Trump.

It's just a very obviously racist statement, something someone in any public office or that has any public position should never ever say. Stop defending it.
> "A war that absolutely no one saw coming"

This bit is oddly wrong in an otherwise mostly sound piece.

Even if you only look at the popular fiction being written around 1910, you can know it. Especially in naval matters - the English were very much troubled by the growing German naval power. There was a strong notion that it would come to blows sometime soon, for one reason or another.

Slightly unrelated, but since there seems to be some Google Cloud people in this thread: I see that Google Cloud account is linked to my Google Account.

At the University of Waterloo a CS degree was a Bmath degree with a CS major up until like 12 years ago, when a BCS was an option with slightly less Math courses. It was so much math I almost dropped out because I hated it, felt like no programming or real world stuff, I just kept waiting for it to get better until I finally realised this is it, it's mostly just math, that's what makes it "computer science". I grunted through it and got my degree and learned everything I use today mostly on my own. There was a good base but I've forgotten most of the math and notation now because it's mostly useless to me and I didn't like it or fully get it. Maybe that was just a UW experience as it was a highly touted math school.

TL;DR Comp Sci I took was all math so I don't get the title!

With both the United States and the Russian government (and of course others) surging so much in information and psychological warfare, is it any wonder everyone is so confused?
I would make a strong case for numerical methods as well (putting statistics to work on the computer).
The menacing culture of anger, retaliation, violence, crime and drug abuse which appears so frequently in rap music could have something to do with that.

The degree to which those things are exalted and praised is an indicator - and part of a closed circuit - of the negative cycle of poverty in a depressed demographic.

I've been working on one fun solution to this: server-side rendering of web components - https://github.com/pimterry/server-components.

The idea is much the same as server-rendering anything else: you give the components a first run to generate HTML server-side, send that first, and then let JS progressively enhance interactivity on top in the client if it can, or just stick with the initially rendered version if it can't.

(Server components is currently still on the V0 version of the spec, and this article is talking about V1, but they're very similar and we're migrating at the moment).
> "Many of those changes suggest that you have a brain that is wired up at a much more baseline excited level," Ramirez reported. "You need much more sensory stimulation to get [the brain's] attention."

I wonder what is control group on this study. Some rat closed in small sterile cage with zero stimulation. Of course rat from such environment needs less stimulation to get excited.

It would be valid to compare with rats from their natural environment with all the exciting smells, predators, food collecting...
Actually the comment is mostly wrong, it throws together a random assortment of ideas in a way that does not make much sense. When I initially read the comment I thought about replying to it because I agree that downvoting without a comment is usually not helpful. But I then decided to do nothing because it would require quite a bit of time to address all the misunderstandings in the comment because there are quite a lot.
Agreed, we have 10 instances on AWS, but it's hard to judge the complexity of the migration just based on that because these servers vary in size, requirements, and purpose.

But all in all, yes, it is a fairly small scale migration.

This popped out of nowhere. Because I am in serious dilemma if I should focus for a few years on Ai(ML||DL||NN). I got place on very respected computer club on my faculty. I got to choose in which team would I like to go. At first i wanted to go to OS/Systems programming. But recently I was reading a lot about Ai in terms pf CS. And pne of the board members of the computer club asked me why I do not think about joining Ai team, since I was very well covered on all basic bases of programming (OOP, algorithms and a little bit of functional in Lisp). Since then I am bashing my head really. Ai looks really interesting to me, but I am afraid of it's high level abstraction, and it looks to me that it is just piping data for the most people (those people who make actual algorithms are not included here). So i think my fear comes out of unknown. Ai is the future and it looks very interesting and attractive to me, plus I could go a learn awesome new things in terms of different, more exotic languages that could do me well in general as software engineer, but man I don't know yet...
Claiming that only first-world-ers can be happy through adversity.

>excessive screen time early in life can change the circuits in a growing brain

Any activity changes the brain. Also, as BurningFrog points out, "rewires" is a metaphorical term and therefore vague. Ditto "circuits".

Such disorders are pretty loosely defined. Something "like" such a disorder is vaguer still. And, again, these are mice for goodness sake.

No you can't. Lions are dangerous!

We're not passive. We decide what to pay attention to. Thus we can't be stimulated arbitrarily by the environment. Actually I think this is assumed by the contradictory concept of "attention deficit", elsewhere in the piece.

I was under the impression that the accusations of rotoscoping in Cowboy Bebop were just rumor and that a number of industry professionals had come out and said that "no, this is just how Hiroyuki Okiura draws".

Unfortunately, I might be a bad person to answer that question. I'm 52, and have been programming since high school, not as a professional developer, but just using programming as a tool. So I learned data analysis long before learning Python, just through my general science education and work. The result is that I don't really know what a good modern tutorial is.

http://hckrnews.com can be used to see which submissions reached the front page and then were marked [dead]. [dead] is distinct from [flagged] and can occur for administrative reasons. [flagged] means that enough users have flagged the story to penalize the ranking, but not to remove it.

http://hnrankings.info can indicate which submissions were [flagged] by enough users to be penalized. You'd be looking for sudden drops in ranking. Note though that the 'flamewar detector' (based on the number of comments to upvotes) can also cause sudden drops that can be hard to distinguish.

If you think your reasons for wanting this are well justified, consider writing a polite email to hn@ycombinator.com and asking if they would be willing to provide it. Personally, I think it would be an interesting analysis, although they may have legitimate reasons to keep the information private.

With my tin foil hat on, I've always wondered that now there is a very profitable business (for the big Pharma companies) out of just providing HIV positive people with drugs for years, that there is little appetite (again, inside big pharma) to actually 'cure' the disease...?

The more you'll repeat words like "racism" and "bigotry", the more this "black magic""

You don't seem to grasp the fact that I am not for or against Trump.

I don't care that he is President - I'm not even American - just a constant observer.

I've articulated a few times, that I don't think Trump is actually racist.

Listen TDKL - you don't get to say: "All n*ers are mongrels" and then say "oh, it's not racist because the press treats me unfairly"

What Trump said is point blank racist - how are you guys even defending it?

'Oh - he only meant immigrants' - still racist

'Oh - he only meant illegal migrants' - still racist

'Oh - he only meant some of them' - really, because 'some of every group' are rapists, ergo, still pretty racist.

And it doesn't matter what he 'meant' - it's going to be interpreted as racist.

So why did an intelligent man, who is probably not racist say such words?

Because he's running for president, and is going to say populist things to 'rile people' up. Including racist statements, to fire up the good chunk of his supporters who are bigots.

It's a dispassionate reasoning of the populist tactics that he's used during the campaign to get elected. That's it.

Like mentioned already by another poster antibodies are an extracellular mechanism, they do not function within the cell.

Cell to call transfer and communication happens all the time, cells share nutrients and many other things, some viruses take advantage of that mechanism allowing them to basically cross cellular and tissue boundaries.

Some can exploit this to the extreme by actually replicating only parts of themselves in each cell and using the cell to cell transfer highway to be finally assembled in another cell, this is often used to prevent cell suicide since one of the intracellular defense mechanism is basically the cell invoking cell death upon detecting an infection.

If you want an analogy from the technology world think about it as staged payloads that some malware use, each payload on it's own is undetectable and even non-functional but when everything reaches the final target all the payloads are assembled into the final piece of malware that takes over the targeted host ;)

My current place of employment does a good job around career develop. Managers can't progress in their careers unless their direct reports verify they are helping with development, so incentives are aligned.

That said, it's still up to the employee to drive a lot of it. Nobody cares as much about your career as you.

So, expect to have to do the leg work. If your manager won't help find you projects you need for development, then you should go find them. Learn about cool projects being done in other groups, find out if they need help, then go to your manager to say "As a part of my development, I'd like to do X. Jim's department is doing X and would like me to help. I can make it fit with my current responsibilities. Is that OK?"
