I'm not sure Trump has it in him, but if he did and courted the black working class the right way, I think he could start winning them over from the Dems. But he has to be serious about creating jobs for them, it means raising the min wage to $15 and not allowing undocs to undercut citizen workers.

Trump should learn one thing. Black families like jobs. They'll vote for jobs. They also want, if not always like the police but jobs would go a long way to smoothing things over, as with any pop.
We are in full agreement, and you added evidence to the evidence I gave:

For ORFE, I mentioned Cinlar. My best prof was one of Cinlar's star students.

And I mentioned Ford and Fulkerson, Kuhn and Tucker, Tukey, and you mentioned still more. Good.
I dropped one tab when i was 18. It took me a few years to get over it. Flashbacks daily for the first year, slept just a couple of hours a night, constantly on edge, scared I would get a flashback. A course of prozac 18 months later sorted me out - calmed me down enough to deal with it. It still took another 3 years before i felt comfortable enough to smoke a joint. It was the single stupidest thing i did in my whole life.
Homeschooling seems like a no brainer option when your kid flames out of public school and you can only afford 1 spouse not working but not private school. These are the homeschooling cautions I've read about or observed.

1 - Homeschooling has been documented as locus of identity abuse by withholding modern identity paperwork required to prove citizenship. This insures the child remains dependent on the family and religious unit into adulthood since they have no documentation to prove they are a citizen. [1]

2 - Homeschooling allows for abusive parents to be abusive with limited opportunity for a mandated reporter discovering the abuse. [2]

3 - When I went through high school and college, a homeschooled student was rare like a unicorn. I never met a single person. When I went back into a school setting in the last 5 years I met several. Anecdotal observations: (a) untreated autism spectrum disorders, (b) homeschool teachers unqualified to teach math & science leaving the adult student unable to academically survive college level sciences despite a passion for science subjects, (c) a well adjusted kids who joined 4H programs and had parents with a scientific background, and (d) one student with a deep love for English literature.

On the whole, I'm dubious when I hear of people home schooling. I ask things like "Do your kids have birth certificates?". "Do you immunize?". "What is your math and science background?". "Are your kids being socialized with their peers?"

I'm sure the homeschooling parents really love me. But a number of homeschooled kids are child abuse victims and I feel an obligation to probe these weird situations.

Actually, the opposite, this is the same principle as a hyperspectral sensor. These line scan sensors (kind of like the pupil photos in the article) create "data cubes" (i.e. an 2D image with a 3rd spectral dimension for every spatial pixel) which are huge compared to red, green, & blue images. The article actually talks about how computationally intensive it is to handle and how that made squid so smart.

I don't agree with your strict stance against unschooling. Yes, for some kids it's probably quite harmful - something I occasionally saw first hand when I was homeschooled - but for other kids it seems to work very well. And for the kids that it works well with, I think it helps instill a true drive to succeed that's difficult to do for those kids in an institutional environment; for some kids that's a drive that gets driven out of them.

FWIW my own experience was more on the unschooling side than not, although I also was in high-school full time after grade nine. Particularly when I started working full time I found it strange seeing most of my coworkers and interns just not being willing to take initiatives and learn on their own, something that to me seemed very natural - if I didn't when I was a kid nothing would happen. Meanwhile I advanced very quickly because I did just that. And from talking to others with similar unschooling backgrounds, that's not an unusual experience to have.

Part of why unschooling seemed to work for me is probably the environment. Growing up I didn't have access to computer games or the internet, and TV was strictly an evening thing. So for many hours a day I had nothing to do but learn. Sure, I didn't have all that much direction on how I was supposed to learn, but I seemed to figure that part out well enough on my own; the main structure I was given was to always have math textbooks around to work through, and I was expected to spend time every day studying them and doing problems. Programming on the other hand, was something I spent a lot of time learning on my own in a very self-directed fashion because I wanted too - same for subjects like economics, science, and art.

An exception to all this though was spelling and grammar: when my parents took me out of school in grade five I still wasn't able to read to write very well, so for about the first year I remember my mom spending a lot of time with me on those subjects. But that year was all it took to finally catch up; once I knew how to read sufficiently well learning on my own beyond that was much more practical.

Of course, I have to give a lot of credit to my parents there: the environment I had while "unschooling" was likely no accident... I'm sure they worked quite hard to make that happen.
This article was partly a warning shot. They most likely just want it resolved and naming names now would just harm that effort. But it demonstrates they are capable of taking public action if negotiations fail.
Your anecdotal experience doesn't really mean much.

I'm sure short term Audi is of the opinion that if you'd settle for a Tesla's definition of luxury and refinement from their flagship, you weren't really their target to begin with.

Longer term they probably realize they can't depend on Teslas never getting better and will need to compete or other luxury brands will eat up the segment (and probably wish they had just "done it right" for luxury EVs first)

Audi also probably comes from the school of thought if someone wants supercar acceleration, they'll get a supercar (or a proper S-line)

"Uber as a company is very ethical and takes the responsibility that we are entrusted with very seriously."

Probably every company has said that, yet we know how that usually turns out sooner rather than later (I'm looking at you, WhatsApp).

"So I know it's not easy to believe, and it's easy for me to say since I work here, but nothing nefarious is going on. If there was, we the engineers would be against it completely."

For now. What if a new higher manager comes and decides to use this information for other purposes (ad, sale etc.)? Some engineers might quit, but costumers can't take their data back.

My takeaway is: do not trust companies with more data than necessary to provide you a service and this is exactly such case.

Well, just for comparison's sake, employees at Google are able to give each other bonuses that are worth more than that. They're subject to manager approval of course, but they can be given for things as simple as "this person was my go-to help for understanding this new platform I haven't worked on before". So take that for what it's worth.
I will never seriously consider using php for any new project until they clean up their standard library API, but that will probably never happen (python 3 being a good example of what happens when you drop backwards compat in a major way). Even then, stdio==socket and bloated syntax might still weight it down too much.

It's not just your trip data, it's also your driver's. It would be wrong to allow you to delete the record of the trip.

It's also the case that the record of your trip isn't just data. It's the receipt for an actual thing that happened. A transaction between three or more parties takes place. That data needs to be preserved for any number of the reasons, including government compliance. Even just handling credit card disputes makes it invaluable.
I think there's a lot of variance between people, and it's largely a matter of preference. Some people are happy to walk a block or two in order to make the most efficient trip depending on where the driver is approaching from and where they're going, and some people just want to plop it down and not think about it and have the company/driver figure out how to come exactly to them and figure out which way to go.
Not sure how big your company is, but my guess is you've only been there for part ofThe year, so you are considered very junior. Many companies don't give bonuses so I personally wouldn't sweat it.
If so, it's not publicized internally. I interned at Google this summer too, and I didn't hear anything about how I could bypass conversion interviews. Maybe it's a case-by-case discretion thing.

More and more people are now getting IPv6-only connections (notably on mobile). To access IPv4-only websites, the ISP is using "carrier-grade NAT". Therefore, if your website is IPv4-only, users will go through a big translation cluster. The incentive for an ISP to keep it running well will become lower with time: the most "important" websites are accessible through IPv6. If you are IPv4-only, you will provide some of your users suboptimal service because the CGNAT box may slow down connections, drop connections or loose packets.
Talk to your manager. Ask him or her if there's a message here. If there is, then there's no reason for your boss to beat around the bush.

It might still be good for other reasons, though. Like if the colour filters used in space probes degrade over time (I don't know, do they?) then it would allow more consistent colour recording. Also it might be usable on very small probes that primarily take black and white images but can capture colour (at expense of resolution) if required.

I've worked as both a programmer and a sysadmin for large enterprises, so I've seen both sides!

No it isn't. It's fine to have a "base" image that you use to then run deployment scripts on, if done correctly. Way better than having to go through a 20+ step process of securing a new Linux or Windows box :)

Sine I have recently done a literature review on the topic the bullet points for medicine/healthcare and emergency work are a bit thin. Specifically for medicine there are tons and tons of academic publications and it's used for all sorts of training (mostly surgery). Emergency services use it mostly at the squad leading level and for some operational aspects. There are also some police use cases (even though I haven't researched that). I do remember one paper where researchers basically let criminals and students break into virtual houses and steal stuff to understand the process better.

I remain a bit skeptical when it comes to VR outside consumer though (maybe telepresence might be an exception). Most traditional businesses seem to be more interested in AR (for warehousing etc.)

> but Uber as a company is very ethical

Even if you would believe Uber is an ethical company (there is good reason to believe for-profit companies generally are not and also good reason Uber especially is not), the underlying problem is that the data could fall into other hands. Three letter agencies can ask for that data, someone could leak the data, etc. I know the last one sounds unlikely but stuff like this happens all the time.

Thanks for replying. My point would be that they would not really evade laws, since as a Canadian company (even if a subsidiary) they are subject to Canadian anti-dumping laws. I don't get why NAFTA is needed at all, and why would it apply to a service provided locally. It's not like Uber "imports" rides.
The more layers you have, the more time you need to convert all of them to IPv6 (from network to all the applications). IPv6 implementations of various things is always less complete than their IPv4 counterpart.

Notably, even low-level stuff may still be difficult to make with IPv6. For example, Linux supports IP equal-cost multipath routing for IPv6 since 2012. Quagga, a popular routing daemon, still doesn't support that. BIRD, another open-source routing daemon, just got partial support for it this year. If your network is relying on this, it's an additional burden to deploy IPv6.

"Voluntary options to state education should absolutely be celebrated, and parents should have the freedom to choose how to educate their own children."

See, at first when you said "voluntary" I misunderstood the word to refer to the kid's participation, but you meant voluntary as in for the parents to decide what their kid does.

All this talk of the ills of public schools, but you know a household is also a top down authoritarian system, one that certainly doesn't have more tolerance for free expression than a school, and one that isn't voluntary in the least. Most of the hostility to public schools seems to be from parents who don't want dictatorial competition.

I have no problem with homeschooling, but I'm no devotee, and I don't really buy a lot of what advocates say. Like, in actual fact, is there any evidence that homeschooling produces kids that are less, "subservient citizens who will do as they're told and not make trouble by thinking for themselves?"

Then again I'm not a great fan of the public school system. But I will say that when people say that public school is better for socialization, what they mean is that kids get the chance to navigate complex social relationships, (peers of all kinds, older near-peers of all kinds, younger ones, authority figures), and do so truly on there own.
The article blatantly edited out those reasons and rearranged his quotes to give this doctor an anti-psilocybin crusading slant. It worked, you immediately dislike him not knowing what his real concerns are, and were just given an out of context snippet.

His concerns are already on record in medical journals (sadly mostly paywalled) about using Psilocybin on cancer patients http://www.ascopost.com/issues/may-10-2015/a-cautionary-note... and it has to do with peer review. The comparison with medical marijuana is that they did not do reproduction or review on those studies and then the research was used to shove through legalized marijuana and he wants more research and review this time around before dosing patients with hallucinogens.
The elite are not really elite. That's the problem. The real elite are the scientists, philosophers, engineers, and so on, the actually intelligent, but most of the actual elite have been made into slaves by the pseudo elite using money. The real elite are barely given enough time to think about the big picture, and confined to work on smaller problems that the results of which are used by the pseudo elite to mostly make more money and amass more power.

Who runs politics? Is it not money that runs politics, or is it intelligent people who constantly warn the idiots that they are doing wrong, and then slowly while preserving their power and money react to fix problems that they are causing. I guess to intelligent people the masses are more worrying, and probably should be. But the people running the world are not all that much higher then them. They just have money.

I suggest http://web.archive.org/web/20160413005246/http://www.norvig..... It's extremely easy to understand. Once you start adding features to your Lisp interpreter and extending it, you'll eventually realize that the naive recursive descent approach is getting in the way of your more complicated ideas, but you'll be ready to try more sophisticated approaches to writing an interpreter. Nothing beats Norvig to me for learning how to write an interpreter as a beginner. Lisp isn't as complex as the Monkey programming language from https://interpreterbook.com, but I argue that that's a good thing. Once you get the basic principles, writing an interpreter for a language like Monkey seems like a much more easily surmountable task.
