The really absurd part is that they still wanted that data provided to these private companies from the NWS, just not available to the public.

Almost all of these companies simply regurgitate NWS information pretending it's their own anyway.

Forecasts are fuzzy enough that they may play in that area; but serious things like severe weather warnings only come from the NWS.
They are "stagnating now" but the long term problem isn't solved even with immigrants. So the point is that humanity itself needs to find a sustainable solution. They definitely have the resources to deal with their problems, they just don't have the labour to utilize those resources. For example migrant labor is definitely a solution that Japan is working on.

>"The OEMs want to make hardware that runs Windows."

I disagree. I think the OEMs want to make hardware that consumer buy. I don't think they care one bit what OS consumers run on top of their hardware. In fact I would imagine OEMS would prefer to bring their products to market without consulting Microsoft at all.

It's coercive in the sense the the secure execution is predicated on there only being one PK and the OEMs have to knuckle under to MS just to be considered a "potential" machine that Microsoft allows to run Windows.

>"Linux and other operating systems are piggybacking on the Windows PC standard."

What exactly is the "Window PC Standard"? I have never heard this term before. Linux didn't piggy back on Windows anything. Maybe you mean X86? X86 predates Windows.
I hope that you feel better soon.
Interviews are tricky, and it will be very hard for us to guess what you're missing.

In your shoes I'd hire somebody to do practice interviews with. Look either for somebody who does that for a living or, perhaps better, a product management consultant who will consult on your career.

One thought, though: it sounds like you're running from, not running toward. When I'm interviewing product managers, key characteristics include excitement for the domain and energy for the work. That's because they need to have enough enthusiasm for what they're building to get everybody else charged up too. If you're burnt out and just looking to escape, people may be spotting that.
Fair enough, you can't really predict these idiots, I mean come on, in 2017 we are telling women not to dress xyz.(unless it is a policy violation)
This is a pretty good idea. I was surprised how helpful an executive coach was to talk to when you're having a work problem and you're not sure what to do. I'm not sure how to find one outside of a corporate-sponsored management coaching program, though.
Honestly, nothing interesting :)

That was the day I moved to California for my first internship. It was the first time I was flying by myself after turning 18 and I was getting ready to queue up for the security line and I just said fuck it, I'm done.

Prior to that day, I'd mostly flown with my family, who put up with, but don't empathize with my dislike for law enforcement (not that you could call the TSA that). Even when I later told them that I'd started opt-ing out, they didn't really understand or agree with it.

In addition, I've always thought that the scanners were more security theatre than actually useful and at more than $150,000 a pop, all that money could go to so many better uses. Since I was starting my first internship, I was also going to start paying taxes. Taxes which contribute to these systems. I can't opt-out of my taxes contributing to what I consider to be useless contraptions, but I can opt-out of using said contraptions (for now at least).

It's also a simple way that I can communicate that I'm not complacent with the system.

At this point, my "airport security playbook" is pretty much:

1. Disable Touch ID on all my devices and temporarily change the passwords

2. Confirm that FileVault is enabled for all laptops

3. Turn off all electronic devices.

4. Opt-out

Unrelated, but on that flight to San Francisco, I decided to become a vegan. A lot of different stuff aligned that day. :)

A friend of mine was an intern at CNN. One of his jobs was to look at all the NWS weather alerts and forecasts. They would prepare it for the reporters to read and report about. He had to get to work at 4am every morning to complete it before the morning shows.
Define great. Obviously they only benefit, as you kind of noted, people with disposable income. I mean you aren't dropping money into an HSA if you are living paycheck to paycheck. Do you really think we should have health programs that only profit our affluent citizens?
So there are a lot of good comments here for you to consider, a couple of things stand out.

1) You're perception of yourself and other's perception of you appears to be different. This can occur for a couple of reasons, either your resume says you're something that people don't see when you talk to them in person, or people around you are giving feedback about you that doesn't match what you believe their feedback would be.

In a company setting you can get a "360" review which is basically a survey about you that you take, people who either report to you or are your "customers" take, people who work with you take, and the people you work for (your boss and perhaps their peers). Those exercises, suitably anonymous, can be really helpful in pinning down mismatches between what you think and what others think. The bigger the gap the bigger the problem.

2) A big influence in person to person interviews can be how you take responsibility and give credit. I interviewed a guy once who was great on paper, really knew his stuff when it came to interview questions, but all of the people who interviewed him mentioned that at some point in the interview he spent some time talking about how another person at a former company "screwed him" or "had it out for him" or "sabotaged the project" Etc. Every time the project that wasn't successful was somebody else's problem. I'm sure he wanted us to see him as not the problem in past failures, but instead by blaming everyone else and not taking any of the responsibility he seemed like someone who wasn't a team player. Nobody wants to work with someone who will turn on them if the project is behind schedule.

I don't have any idea if either of those things apply to you so please don't take it personally if I got it all wrong. Good luck with your job search.

Several places I know of also outright block specific banks and BINs for abuse.
Or keep the resume, since that really leads to initial screens (which he's passing), and learn how to interview better. Like other commenters mentioned, it would help to know the other positions being offered and how they compare to his current+desired positions.

The creator of APL also made an open source language called J that uses ascii characters (although there are some other important differences between APL and J). J has a pretty nice IDE which can do things like break down code into its constituent parts, which is also used for stepping through code as a debugger. That has really helped me to understand J code better.

For learning the language, I've found the freely available "J Tutorial and Statistical Package"[0] to be a great approach. You learn J by building up a package of basic stats functions. The author also has a variety of other interesting J papers.[1]

Well, you can go through the scanner if you'd like (which is what most people do), but the TSA can require you to get a pat-down.

You can also opt-out of the scanner (which is what I do) and get a pat-down, but the TSA is not required to allow you to opt-out.

If it comes up within your first three months I would suggest maybe going but leaving after an hour just so you don't seem antisocial. I'm with you in that my time outside of the job is precious to me but turning down every invite might give the wrong impression.

If it's a regular thing like say Friday every other week I don't think people will care a whole lot if you skip but if it's an occasion where you just finished a project or you are celebrating with another company I would suggest going just so it doesn't come across as being rude unless you can come up with a really good excuse such as "I would but I kind of promised I would take the kids to see XYZ tonight at the theater".

Anyway that's my limited experience 2cents.

In the history encompassing the legal tradition of where Uber's HQ is based, governments have been interfering with this (by road, trackway and holloway construction and maintenance) since before the Romans invaded Britain.

Indeed, formal regulation of taxi services appeared in England in 1635, with the Hackney Carriage Act setting up a legal framework, with further statutory and regulatory tools (including licensing, which imposed training and safety requirements on drivers and carriage owners, and which granted broad protections against rent-seeking by road owners, including public bodies) before the 1670s.

So the "interference" in the market you pine for has been going on for many centuries.
That's overblown, to some degree (in the same way some exaggerate "inner city" crime in the US). It exists, and in places where it does, it is horrifying. And, it is partly the fault of, and responsibility of, US drug policy.

We should own that, instead of shaking our heads and lamenting how awful Mexican crime is. It is American crime, too, it just happens south of the border because that's how the economic incentives our failed drug policy dictate things will go. Yes, there's higher corruption, at the police and judicial level, and that plays a role. And, yes, there is higher poverty, which empowers criminals and enables recruiting. All are solvable and a significant portion of the solutions are on our side of the border. We've been shitting on Mexico with our failed drug policy for decades.

> Actually Java has always been a fairly dynamic language. If it wasn't you wouldn't have all the XML and annotation stuff but code generation like you do in C/C++ and to some extent Go.

You're equivocating on "dynamic".

Java is not a dynamically typed language.

It can be seen as "dynamic" in the sense that its behavior can be modified at runtime by external files. Then again, what languages can't?
Razer owner for many years now. Love it, best gaming device I have laid my hands on. Comparisons with Apple don't make sense. They are targetting different audiences.
That's never going to happen. AT least under razer's name.
1. The difference between 14 inch and 15.6 is minimal at best, if you want a bigger laptop the blade pro is the only option. Creating a new line would be too costly.

2. The bezel is there to add space to the main laptops body to fit a proper cooling system for the gtx 1060 and 7700HQ

3. See 2.

4. The stealth and pro offer 100% Adobe rgb models (see razer's website) with the blade having 100% srgb and 75% adobe rgb.[1] Having a 100% adobe rgb version of the screen wouldn't be out of the question.

5. 4k already exists on all blade models

6. The port selection is ok. I wouldn't be surprised if razer follow apple and adopt 100% thunderbolt 3 + power connector (current power brick is at 165W). Connectivity on the pro model is very good.

7. For razer this really isn't an issue they believe that most people would be using headphones.

8. I'm pretty sure windows has a feature like this built into the power menu?? The pro has a 1080 and the 14 has a 1060. Both feature the 6700HQ/7700HQ

9. Already replaceable. Uses Samsung pm951. (note: its a M2 storage drive)

10. Already exists

11. Already exists (note that the pro model has a "low profile mechanical keyboard" which received mixed reviews also rgb is standard)

12. The pro is 7.80 and the 14 is 4.10. Depends if you think the extra power is worth it

13. Not enough space on the body

14. Never gonna happen. Razer has been about thinness and performance since the first blade. If you want a thick laptop clevo and alienware exist.

15. You can turn the backlight off in synapse

Best part for me is the new fallback controller plug. Really well done. That and the centralized error list. This is one of the things which is miss in Go (I think this is the same in Rust, but I am not an expert).
Never underestimate human stupidity.
The plethora of Greek symbols and italicized fonts for fancy operations make interesting research papers mostly unreadable for me. It would be great if mathematicians started using descriptive names for each variable (including non-obvious functions/operations), and weren't limited to one letter per symbol (i.e. I'm describing programming).

Granted, there's too much momentum to change anything, especially since it would probably slow down the people doing the fancy math.
This doesn't really happen in natural situations, because riverbeds generally aren't this smooth.

When I first noticed it, I was reminded of waterfalls, especially the way they were portrayed in 8 bit games. [1] It turns out not to be that easy to find a good real world example, at least not without watching hours of waterfall footage, but this one [2] does an acceptable job showing it. I have no idea if this could be caused by the same or at least a similar mechanism.

I really do wonder how optimized the game is. From what I've heard (I'm waiting for a good digital foundry comparison video) it sounds like the game plays identically on the WiiU and the Switch in docked mode. The only difference is that the WiiU version runs at 720p instead of 900p.

We know this started as a WiiU game, i'm wondering if this is another twilight princess where they did very little except up the resolution for the new console and we're not really seeing what the machine is capable of.
I work in a different job role than you but I can relate to your lengthy search. I was in a senior leadership position prior to taking about a year off. When I wanted to go back to work I did a lot of interviews. I was starting to think that I should apply for more junior positions or take a pay cut, but I went back and hit the books pretty hard and really reviewed all of the interview prep stuff for my field, like studied intently for several weeks. I lined up interviews with 3 top companies in the same week and got 2 offers, and I'm very happy with my new job. So don't give up hope, but make sure you are as well prepared as you possibly can be.
What are you willing to sacrifice? I can give you an answer, but you won't like it. As an Indian man you'll be discriminated against. Period. Lots of empirical proof for that, not just job wise but in lots of other cases (dating, etc).

While folks here will give you lots of tips on the professional side, here are a few actionable things you can do to minimize racial bias:

- Change your name to an americanized version. I know someone who did this. Lots of research that proves this point: http://bit.ly/1mcsxdJ

- Take acting classes and learn to speak with no accent
It wont be permanent, but you'll be able to minimize your accent for a few hours in the interview. It's akin to speaking with a fake French accent. See: http://bit.ly/2loPQwy

- Pay people to give you mock interviews and record them. Pay someone else to review the footage and give you interviewing tips.

- Improve your appearance: Bleach your hair lighter shade of brown and try to dress comfortably casual.

- Take some dating classes, learn to improve your confidence (or at least fake it for the in-person interview0.

- Improve your public speaking ability: Join a toastmasters group, get a mentor and give a few speeches.

A job interview is a bit like dating. If you're getting rejected during in-person interviews, then learn to "date better". A lot of racial biases here in SFbay are pretty rough. Even if you graduated top of your class at Stanford and had a successful exit you'll be near the bottom of the pile when it comes to dating.

If you've done any sort of computer modeling, it's pretty easy to understand why technical people would have doubts. It's pretty easy to do it wrong and it's pretty easy to make it look right. Anyway, questioning is science and the debate is more about whether the sky is falling, whether man is primarily responsible, and if so what the next steps should be. So you can acknowledge that deforestation contributes to global warming as an example while being skeptical of the claims and modeling the environmentalists make.
You think a punishment is bad when it crosses a certain arbitrary severity threshold. I think a punishment is bad when it's ineffective, its application doesn't benefit society as a whole, and when there's no oversight.

A morality that's consistent, dependable, and based on greater good to society is rather more useful than one based on arbitrary feels.
