An animated timeline pondering what could be accomplished in certain timeframes
A few years ago there was an exposé on 457 abuse in the IT industry on national tv.(http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2013/s3786315.htm)

Hence the "TCS" jab from empressplay. A lot of IT contracts for major companies in Australia are outsourced to multinational IT companies. Those multinationals use a lot of 457 workers and get the big contracts via undercutting and paying low wages to poor migrants.

Then various politicians have attacked the 457 scheme over the years. Most recently, one government backbencher from a regional mining area where unemployment is still very high threatened to quit over it.

It's reputation has been shady for quite a while. It is always raised in a bad light by the media due to abuses.

I do feel that this current move has unfairly affected legit skilled researchers like a_bonobo though. How they manage to be lumped in with 457s brought in by outsourcing companies makes zero sense.

I don't have numbers in front of me, but I also can't think of a riding where the LibDems were within 5% last election that voted Leave. IMHO the odds seem better if the LibDems can claim "Remain if possible, soft Brexit if not" when it comes to picking up Tory and Labour seats.
Nobody is silencing anyone.

The Lib Dems campaigned for an EU referendum [1], and now want to reverse it because the result wasn't what they wanted.

The SNP campaigned for Scotland to leave the EU (as it would have done if leaving the UK) in their independence referendum, and now behave as if leaving the EU is unthinkable.

Both are playing politics. The ground has shifted, and so it's helpful for the government to get a new mandate.

Who would've thought that a CEO of a large corporation for over 10 years would ever have a situation where they yell at a staff member?! How utterly inconceivable.

Because, of course, some person who never met either of them can fully understand the complexity of a father-daughter relationship through biased third-hand summaries. Nobody could ever have a complex or estranged relationship with a family member. Nope, he must be evil.

> downplayed the suicides in Apple factories

There is no such thing as an Apple factory. Apple does not operate factories. They contract build work out to companies that specialise in that and manufacture for multiple companies. Whatever you typed this on was likely built in the very same complex at Foxconn, or another one just like it. The overall suicide rate for Foxconn workers is lower than both the average for China and the average for the US. [1]

Yes, he's EVIL for choosing his own medical treatment. He really screwed us all by using less of our medical resources. What an evil man.

He's not perfect. It's certain that he's done things that are downright wrong. But can you imagine how evil you would look if your entire life was scrutinized constantly for any possible misstep by biased people who directly profit from doing so? Now consider that you weren't a brilliant inventor and leader, and haven't created thousands of jobs or led the inception of entire industries. If Jobs was evil, you're worse than Hitler.

Do you track the usage of the free trial to the email addresses used to activate them? Better still do you track any interactions on your forum, wiki, etc?

It is very easy for staff to create fake email addresses to get a free trial and kick the tyres. Unless they end up using your product they won't be interested in demo-calls, etc. Most technical staffers hate sales calls, so offers of demo-calls are more likely to be seen as pushy sales calls.

BTW what is your conversion rate from free-trial to paid plans?
Doesn't really matter what three countries want. You'd need to get agreement from 27 countries. That is why trade deals are so hard for the EU to do. I really doubt we'll be getting a deal in the next two years.

A more likely outcome is a French Exit or the collapse of a large Italian bank causing the end of the EU as we know it. Then we can make trade deals with individual countries.

I'm still a Corbyn supporter, and I think he's had a difficult time, having to owe up to his own goals, the goals of his grassroots movement and the goals of the old time voters and unions. This is very highlighted on the EU move; I don't think it's charitable to say that he "supported Tory policy"; the members don't mean anything when the majority of people voting for you aren't members.

So what would you have done if you were him? Go with your members and get booted out of any sensible position, or go with your voting base and disregard your members? Brexit was a hot button topic for many reasons and arguably the fact that someone is either a Tory supporter or betraying their voter base is an example of politics becoming more about principle than doing what's right.
The bot for playing music in chatting room
Bot for playing music: https://www.patreon.com/himebot

I am a 14-year old student in grade 9. Since this year, I start to learn programing and have developed my first application, a bot for playing music in chatting room. This small application was written in Python programming language that I found easy to start with. The bot is deployed in the Google cloud.

There are still something for improvement. For example, it is a bit slow if many people are online. This might be the problem of the program written in Python. I am planning to rewrite the program in Java for my next step.

Hope you all like this bot, and give me comments. Thanks!

Corbyn is not to blame for this. When Harriet Harman was caretaker leader after Ed Miliband resigned, Labour MPs voted in favour of having the referendum on EU membership. They should therefore feel bound by its result.

The only party which voted against having the referendum, and who aren't similarly bound, were the SNP.
The Liberal Democrats and SNP bother have moderate social-democratic policies without being particularly left-wing generally.

> What if Apple is aiming for a tomorrow when you won't need to do such things as gain root access or manage the allocation of memory.

How do you come to the idea that in the future this will not be necessary anymore? My personal (but this is perhaps biased by my personal values) thoughts on this is such properties will become much more important in the future than they are now.

Why this?

A lot of the advantages Moore's law gave in the past have ended. So it will become much more important in the future to apply more "clever low level hacks" (e.g. use special units of the CPU) to get more speed (allocation of (executable) memory is one such trick).

Also Snowden's revelations have shown that it is very dangerous not to have complete control of the device anymore (at least in Germany these lead to a deep distrust in cloud/SaaS offers for many companies, since these companies fear industrial spying). For this having root access is essential (though not sufficient, since there might be other backdoors).

I think that the majority of the country is generally less comfortable with the idea of coalitions/minority governments/power sharing than many other parliamentary democracies where those things happen more regularly.

Consider the run-up to the 2015 GE when it looked like Labour/Lib Dems/SNP might be able to form a majority coalition even though the Conservatives were likely to be the largest party - there was a lot of sneering at the idea of a "coalition of the losers". That circumstance arises quite frequently and is largely accepted in many other countries, as can be seen from the results of Denmark's recent elections.

We have some events connected and we are using Intercom, so it is being tracked, yes.

I need to give some background I guess. Our platform is a codeless development framework for mobile apps. So it is not easy process for users to actually make their goal come true = build the custom app they want. This is where our support would come in handy, but we need to talk to the user first, to find out what app he wants to develop. Then we could even prove him it is possible, by simply developing it in a few hours.

But we haven't found a formula to make those enterprise users actually start talking to us...

I agree that the distinction between warren and plaza is crap. That's basically my point above: there's not much to say about the distinction seeing as FB and Reddit are both extremely popular and users on Reddit apparently spend more time per day than FB users. So I think we agree on the conclusion, we're just disagreeing on how we get there.

>They're like old-school programmer forums - if you just jump in as a non-member and try to engage you may well be told to GTFO or lurk more.

That's not my experience on any subreddit so I can't agree on this part. But maybe I'm in an echo chamber so I no longer see the distinction. Do you have any tips to see if I'm in an echo chamber? Or does this just involve intentionally crossing norm boundaries and how is it distinct from trolling? /semi-rhetorical

This would also make a leak in languages without a GC, possibly making it quite hard to spot.

With traditional leaks, where you're allocating memory and not freeing it, it's quite easy to find the problem using a sanitizer or valgrind. But with a memory wasted like this, which would get nicely cleaned when the program is exiting - well, you need to start a profiler and find the leak by yourself. Can be annoying.
8 pages now? It used to be 6. Anyway, 8 pages can fit a lot of explanation/discussion. Also, keep in mind that AAAI is a conference, where you are supposed to present promising research that you are still edging out. Finished works are supposed to be presented in journals, where space constraints are typically more relaxed.

On a personal note: I'm sick of smart-ass reviewers, unprofessional researchers, results over-selling (to put it mildly) and so on. I think the whole system is so corrupted that i just quit research in despair. Unfortunately, I don't see how blogs and/or just "publish the code" would magically solve all those problems.

Anyway, publishing your code is certainly a good thing to, so I applaud and encourage you to keep doing it!

So... how big is the chance that the LibDems will promise to try to reverse Brexit, or at least go for the softest possible Brexit, and everyone who wants to remain votes for them, and they would get 51%, or at least enough to force a coalition government?

Probably zero, especially given the weirdo FPTP system, but I'm curious anyway.
