Probably a lidar on the inside to detect mess? :)

They can certainly have a video/image feed of the inside, to remote check if it is messy once the ride is over(can be automated to a good extent with image recognition), and retire it from service until its cleaned up.
I had a look at the actual pages and they're pretty bad, Greek is listed as "Ekari-Drabbe" (what the hell is that?) and many languages have unicode symbol encoding errors (e.g. words like "?akke").

In Spain, where the system is similar to what you described (staff for the day is chosen at random from all citizens in that voting district, and similar to jury duty), some professionals (doctors, nurses, air controllers, etc.) can decline the request if they will be on watch, and there are assigned replacements for them.

A non-critical worker cannot refuse but:

a) Chosen citizens are paid, even if not much (60€ I think).

b) Chosen citizens have the following Monday morning free, should they need to travel back to their job site, etc.

c) Chosen citizens have strong legal protections should their boss try anything.

In practice, when an employee is chosen for election duty the boss just deals with it as best as they can, since it's a case where judges and police are super strict: messing with election duty will get you heavy fines and/or jail time. So no-one is going to fire you or retaliate if you are assigned election duty.
Crenshaw's book, Let's Build a Compiler was written in the late 1980's and uses Pascal. It is structured as a step by step tutorial/example. It is not very theoretical. The compiler is written in Pascal. Because Turbo Pascal was available in a box from a computer store (these existed back then) or at the office supply store at an affordable price, regular hobbyist programmers could implement his book.

Googling the title will turn up many PDF's of his book and it is worth a read for the clarity of his writing, the simplicity of his approach and the historical significance of the book itself.
If you've read his books you know that this is how he negotiates.

Will it not simply create a blue colored hole in the sky for the duration the jet engine is turning and then when the engine is turned off the hole will soon turn grey again ?

Assuming they fire the engine during daytime. I hope they do it in the day time as that will be simply awesome and better due to the possibility of sonic boom (from the gaseous fluid in the jet exhaust going near supersonic) or the noise otherwise will prevent people from sleeping within a couple mile radius.

Angular 1 is NOT Angular 2 or higher.

Angular 1 and Angular 2+ are in essence completely different frameworks.

The "Angular" team should have picked a different name for their post-Angular 1 project.

The vibrant ecosystem of custom directives, etc., that surrounded Angular 1 must NOT be confused with the Angular 2+ project just so that everything can be "one big happy Angular".

They don't need to stock for peak demand. They don't need a monopoly (nor will they be permitted to get one).

To succeed worldwide, they simply need to be as good as Uber, but cheaper. And if the capital cost of the car becomes half of the cost base of taxis, a 10% saving matters.
I don't know what it's like in India, but in the US people seem to only care about pollution that looks or smells bad. If rivers are catching fire or the sky is hazy from emissions, people seem to become more environmentally friendly. Which makes sense, you're not relying on some elite expert, but your own gut reaction. However if we start hiding pollution will that have the effect of making people care less about the effects of pollution that aren't easily detectable anymore, such as climate change?
Do we know that those new collar jobs will be less paid? In the resource you linked, security and data analysts are included. The could be vocational. They could be degree bearing. They could be advanced degree bearing. If they are paid less, it's probably do ease of entry.
It has more vowels (and more frequent consonants), but tone doesn't change the word in English. It can change the meaning (denote sarcasm, sadness, or questioning) but using a higher or lower pitch doesn't change the way you'd write out the word. Remembering tones is like adding imaginary numbers to your math, it's something you never thought about that you need to now account for everywhere. Learning new individual sounds is hard (and I have to do it with Russian) but I don't think it's as hard as the tone business in Chinese.

As for filler words in English: I totally agree it's madness. The word "set" has like 20 definitions. But you can mess them up and people will still understand you. "I break into car" (the way a Russian learning English would say it) vs "I'll break into the car" are both understood the same; whereas in Chinese if I mess up a (to my ears minor) tone, the information is completely lost.

Can Elon, Travis influence Trump's policies in any meaningful way by being part of the PAC?

A lot of Trumps plans such as opening up fossil fuel reserves, not believing in climate change (though Trump said he would keep an open mind in a recent interview), going hard on immigration go directly against what Silicon Valley stands for. Will it be possible to influence Trump's plans on these issues? I remain skeptical.
Didn't see that one coming.
I posted a link in another comment in this thread that gives some idea. Their pilot program (6 year high schools) is targeting entry level jobs that pay $40k/year. They are definitely not degreed.

I can't, of course, prove that this is displacing a job with a higher entry level salary, though I highly suspect it is.

If it were a normal white collar opportunity, why call it new collar? That term obviously implies she's trying to shoehorn something in-between blue collar / white collar.

Edit: I assume the $40k jobs are mostly in New York State, since the pilot school is in Brooklyn. I have no idea if $40k is a reasonable salary for say, Poughkeepsie.
The same way stores keep unattended restrooms clean: periodic inspections throughout the day and a timely response to customer complaints: If cars report to a central facility for a 5-minute inspection after 45 minutes of service, they've already cut labor costs by 90%, but with some increased capital costs due to decreased fleet availability.
That's my point. MFA itself is certainly a very useful security solution (for example, I wouldn't trust a bank that doesn't use it), but "MFA everywhere" is not a way to go, because I value my privacy more than some useless Internet account.
This is ripe for abuse. Case in point:

Back in my time in the military, there was an online portal that held your service information, the ability to request leave (time off), pay, etc. It was the place to go if you needed information aside from a paystub.

It required 8 char min, two upper, two lower, two special char (from a predefined list), and passwords would expire every 30 days. The thing is, most people knew all of their service info off of the top of their head. People also weren't requesting leave very often either, so most people would have to change their password on every login from some bullshit permutation of keyboard rolling with numbers and special chars tacked onto the end.

All that being said, you only had 3 attempts before lockout. No one wanted to risk lockout, so you'd make a throwaway password and reset it if you wanted to login. If you were locked out, it was a call to a civilian contractor with a hold time of 10-30 minutes just to get a temporary password emailed to you.

One of the easiest ways to fuck with someone was to intentionally lock out their account. It was trivial to find someone's username via searching through the email global address list. Then you pull up the portal, enter their user, smash the keyboard, and cackle as you have cost that person a guaranteed 10 minutes minimum just to do something trivial like print something from their file.
It's still a problem, but the threat level goes from the scale of a running car in a closed garage to a running car out on the road.
Comparing MapReduce and Flow-Based Programming (2013)

No, it would not mean such a thing at all. Where did you get this idea?

My guess is they only turn these on during the most polluted days. In many colder climates they have power plants of last resort that are basically old jet engines. They only fire them up when power demand hits peak of the peak levels.
If you use modulus instead of bitmasking, it doesn't have to be power-of-2 size, does it?
It's because it doesn't fit with and can't be addressed by the libertarian ideology dear to a bunch of programmers.

9 Tips for Handling Customer Service During the Holiday Rush
Even if you don't have a degree in your field, college offers an opportunity to enhance your own critical thinking and problem solving abilities, which are paramount to success in some fields.

Also, one has to consider the shifts in education that seem to be focused more on graduation rates than quality graduates. In such a situation, graduate school becomes the new undergrad, and undergrad becomes the new high school degree. This isn't everywhere, but that seems to be the general trend across many markets: a four year degree is become a minimum qualification.
Dictatorships thrive in austere environments. They are no friends of internet access. You might want to travel to more austere environments. Like small towns in Kansas. Or the Philippines.

The job areas sound interesting, but I'm curious how their schools will train people sufficiently for data science and other such intellectually debating work.

Not that these people aren't smart enough...I just question the ability to educate someone sufficiently for this stuff in 6 years as part of extended high school.

I'd love to know more about what this means in practice. The play on words with "blue collar" might resonate with Trump but definitely has connotations with "lower paying" which is concerning when coming from a major tech employer like IBM. After all, under a services model your biggest overhead (and thus target for "optimization") tends to be salaries.
I think a lot of tech jobs are vocational. I know they don't require a college degree.

I have one. I'm good at what I do. I've worked with several people who didn't have one, only a HS diploma, and they were good. This is part of the meritocracy that is tech.

As to the entry level. While that is low from a SF perspective, in Florida, that's pretty good, especially in a semi-rural area. If IBM is putting data centers and the like in similar areas, the price for the employee is a good fit.

Edit: don't get me wrong. I'm not a huge fan of IBM. I have a love/hate relationship (15000 red book pages under my belt). I also call their self-checkouts Nazi Clerks given their past.
Maybe if the CO2 quotas wasn't in reality a ponzy scheme it would have made it easier to sell this doomsday scenario to the avarage joe. Its quite obvious that climate change has grown into an industry of lobbyists and worthless quotas swapping hands for billions of dollars. An absolutely worthless industry that has no progress to show even after decades.

The only real solution to global warming caused by man is depopulating the planet (Think Georgia guidestones) is that really something you want to do?
Honest question, what does this mean for all the talk of Silicon Valley doom and gloom under Trump's presidency? Was all that just fear mongering? How do we understand this move?
I think it's a step towards protection for the photographer/journalist. having your camera seized doesn't automatically mean authorities have the right to look at its contents. if they choose to do something unlawful or unethical to extract the contents at least this puts another challenge in their wake.

I'm certainly not an IBM customer, but I recognize that they have a very strong sales force. Relationships with management level IT folks and lots of golf games/schmoozing is probably one of their main competitive advantages.
Silicon Valley has become a general reference to the Tech industry the same way Wall Street is for the Finance industry. That's just the way it is in the public consciousness now, no point in fighting it too much.

"If global warming is real why is it cold right now?" asks the fake skeptic.
You could do it this way:

Two or more block chains. Each run by different parties. And a need for the same vote to show up on multiple blockchains to count. The voters would visit multiple websites to cast their votes which would then be verified between the various block chains, potentially by software that anyone can run on their own computer or vps. Every single person does not have to vote on multiple platform. Just enough that you can validate the voting.

"Overall, state records show 10.6 percent of the precincts in the 22 counties that began the retabulation process couldn’t be recounted because of state law that bars recounts for unbalanced precincts or ones with broken seals.

The problems were the worst in Detroit, where discrepancies meant officials couldn’t recount votes in 392 precincts, or nearly 60 percent. And two-thirds of those precincts had too many votes."

Am I reading this correctly: if a district has an unbalanced vote count (a red flag for manipulation) it is removed from the overall recount total? Or, does the recount simply not move forward in those districts and the original count numbers are used?

The former feels more reasonable to me while the later would seem to undermine the recount's viability as an anti-manipulation check.

It may not be highly publicized, but you can bet your ass many (likely unelected) officials in the US already care and have been paying attention for some time. The same goes for Canada, Denmark (Greenland), and the Scandanavian countries. Whether for the right reasons is a different debate; from a military standpoint, it's far too strategic of a region for them to not care. The same could be said for big business (natural resources and shipping routes).

Yes, "cap and trade" plans are completely inadequate to address the problem, but "the only real solution is man depopulating the planet" seems questionable given that burning fossil fuels is not a sine qua non of continued human existence.
I routinely write programs that require a huge number of goroutines. Many programs in Go require a huge number of goroutines. Good thing modern kernels deal with large numbers of threads just fine. People misjudge how cheap kernel threads really are, because there was a time where they were expensive. That time was long ago. Today, threads are very light weight. For example, the solaris kernel schedules interrupts as threads, they are really that light weight.

There is a reason POSIX threading is implemented in the kernel on every operating system, even if they all started as N:M or 1:M implementations.
To piggyback this topic - I think cameras should feature an equivalent of iCloud lock. These are things worth thousands of dollars, and are dead easy to sell on once stolen. I would sign a petition that would convince camera makers to add a theft protection like above. Am I missing something here? The same should go for expensive lenses that should have a coded list of bodies they are permitted to work with.

If you make an exception-aware cache that part will behave correctly. The problem is that you can't just move the call around, store the value and use it later, because you're changing where the evaluation happens, so that can lead to an exception happening earlier or later and changing which functions get evaluated. "Everyone knows" you shouldn't use exceptions as control flow, but it's very easy to not realise you were doing it by accident (I once came across a method that always exceptioned and never did what it looked like it was meant to) until you refactor and break something.
Yes and how do you, as a citizen, verify that it's not been tampered with. In the US in the past few elections at least there has been accusations of fraud. And also having this sort of thing makes it possible to do research on the data afterwards... for anyone to do research on the data as it's public. No so with any other system.

As others have said, game AI doesn't draw from "real" or academic AI or Machine Learning.

That said, the references for AI and machine learning are quite old. Particularly the machine learning parts. The only ML texts on the list are Mitchell and Duda and Hart. The former is extremely outdated at this point. That's not Mitchell's fault -- it was a nice book for learning the basics of machine learning in 1997 when it was published, but all the developments that have made ML a hot subject have occurred since then and in areas that the book simply didn't predict coming. Duda and Hart, similarly, was the bible for certain subfields of ML for a long time, but it won't tell you what everyone's been doing in the past 15 years when ML exploded onto the wider scene.

If I were to add one book, it would be Kevin Murphy's excellent text (https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Learning-Probabilistic-Perspe...). There's no one book that will give you a complete picture of the field, but his is I think the closest available and does a solid job of preparing you with enough fundamentals that you can extend your knowledge from there on your own.
