Have you seen the economic state of some of the countries currently in the EU? The UK props the EU up in a big way, we are a massive contributor to it (hence why the EU is currently getting so defensive about us leaving). Also trade deals are something that will be sorted out, and both sides will want to keep costs low for import/export. At least, once the EU is done with it's posturing that is.
"we"? The US abandoned the gold standard in the 1930s. The "we" that promised anything is long dead and has nothing to do with the "we"
(US citizens) now.

A citizen today is no more accountable for actions taken that long ago than for actions taken 4000 years ago.
Really? I don't know if I'm good, but I think I'm at least a "decent" programmer and I have a solid grasp of ML and Stats concepts and I've had absolutely no luck getting interviews, much less call backs for data science jobs.
"Bob" is using some kind of "old iron" possibly emulated on mainframe and communicates to it with a retro terminal client (5250 ?).

So... do brokerages use telnet in the wild?
The UK doesn't have the pesky Constitution we have in the US; however its only a slight obstacle if they can keep it out of the real justice system. I think the banning of encryption is the real kicker; if they can accomplish this (not sure how that would work) it will only wake up the people once they realize their bank accounts and other important personal connections are being stolen by people who have hacked or stolen the backdoor keys. Once people lose their money then it will dawn on folks that this is wrong. Without such a personal connection its just "I have nothing to hide".

"I'm British and I think that swearing enriches language when used judiciously."

It does. But "My political opponents are [swear word]" is not judicious. (Or profanity if you prefer; most Americans would not call "turd" a swear word but it is obviously merely a more genteel way of calling someone a shit, it is a low-grade profanity.)

It's very common and hardly new. It may even be tactically or strategically sound for some desired goals. But it's not judicious, having the same root as judge, being similar to magisterial. Dignified, mature magistrates do not say "People who disagree with me are poo poo heads." If they are inclined to fling insults, they usually use a much higher grade.

Can confirm: this is an incredibly low-barrier-to-entry thing.

I'm a U.S. citizen, so I signed up with Be The Match. Four cheek swabs that they send you in the mail. Swab your cheeks, package them up, send them back.

I got notified that I was a preliminary match just five months after signing up. Sadly, I wasn't a full match (hopefully someone else was!) after going through the blood draw.

All in all, it cost me nothing monetarily and maybe 3 hours total between questionnaires and the blood draw when I got matched.
I wish it was madness. It's terrifyingly rational. It is being done deliberately.
I would refuse to go to any meeting where I was asked to talk and then had someone counting down from 15 the second I started. I understand why you're doing it, but it comes off as rude and demeaning to me.

My stand ups are time boxes at 15 minutes total, and the person running the meeting cuts it off at 15 minutes even if people haven't had a chance to talk. If you have something to say you don't have to cram it in 15 seconds, but often people just pass. It only takes a few meetings going over 15 minutes for habits to adjust.
Is it possible to organise something like this in the UK? I would donate readily.
> While this sounds rational, I don't think that's how it works in most cases. Those who do the hiring usually prefer covering themselves by hiring someone with a degree rather than having to explain how they hired you because you made millions to someone else in the past.

Definitely not my experience. I can count on one hand the number of employers who didn't want to proceed because of a lack of degree.

You're correct, the claims of the article do not correspond to the claims of the patent, whatsoever.

The inventor's patent contains no moving parts, is constructed from a single piece of plastic, and is supported by a single finger when spinning. While it might be an entertaining toy, it's a completely different product.

Regarding the inventor's fundraising campaign, I think the Kickstarter platform is a poor choice given the circumstances. The current campaign is very poorly written, and gives a potential backer no confidence that the product would ever see the light of day.

A different platform without the "all or nothing" constraint would have been a better choice, and the campaign would be better structured as a direct appeal to charity. The inventor is obviously dealing with some difficult personal issues, and a flat sum of money --without the strings of a demanding production schedule attached-- would likely be far more beneficial.

Yes it is. It certainly helps ameliorate the long-term risks of complications associated with becoming a living kidney donor. While those risks aren't massive, they're certainly enough to make people pause. Anything that can lessen those fears can only help.

Nah, that is separate physical machines. For VMs it's more like a multitenant toaster colo, with every toaster in its own asbestos cage, but sharing power and network^Wbread. For containers, it's like putting them all in one house but putting a fuse and RCD on every toaster. A traditional server is building a custom house each time and the toasters are all plugged into the same socket.

I'm not sure the toaster analogy will gain mass acceptance.

A lot of employers still use degrees as a rough proxy for ability and dedication. This may be especially prevalent in data science since the field itself tends to have a lot of Masters/PhDs occupying the field -- which will tend to bias the hiring process towards viewing degrees as a strong positive signal.

With that said, a lot of companies hiring for data science roles fall into the category of software startups -- larger companies like Google or Facebook are looking for specialists who tend to hold degrees. But at smaller companies, you can be more of a generalist and there, the old mantra of "show me what you've built" often applies. You could build out a data science career if you found just the right company.

By no means is it easy, but I wouldn't say it's a waste of your time (unless you have some incredible opportunity cost you're using up).

If you were to go about doing it, I found this blog post that can help you with your plan of attack: https://www.springboard.com/blog/learn-data-science-without-...
Right now my team are trying out only doing standups if there's important stuff to share. This leads to 1-2 standups per week for the past month.

Tidbits of info which can be shared at a glance, and probably don't affect anybody's workflow, go on a whiteboard. That way we know everybody's status, and seems like we can share important info when it matters.

Are they going head to head with Apple and Samsung? Like they definitely tried that, but this device seems to be moving back to catering to the business person who isn't playing games on their phone or watching videos.
IANAL, but my understanding is no. Also, software patents tend to be so vague and generic that if you were to thoroughly search for anything that you might conceivably be infringing on, you'll spend a preposterous amount of time doing so, probably find not one single thing that directly applies to what you're doing, and will probably find a few thousand that don't apply but are generic enough that some lawyer might still haul you into court in east Texas, who can then claim willful infringement because of your search. I probably couldn't even write /bin/ls without stepping close to infringing on hundreds or thousands of vague, generic IP land mines planted long ago by unscrupulous lawyers who are just waiting with bated breath for someone to stumble across them so they can drag people to east Texas or (more likely) shake them down for settlement money before it goes to court.
I'm assuming the rent for the double-apartment is greater than it would be for the single-apartment, so you are paying extra rent.

I'm not sure about all the negative comments.

I have the exact opposite experience. I really like discourse. We run it now since two years with exactly one issue when I did an update, but that was more or less my fault being not on 'stable' but on 'beta'. Self-hosting is not complex although I wouldn't want to do this without the docker they offer.

What I like about discourse

* discuss in real time (!)

* if you prefer email then you can get it, ask questions via email or get answers there if you are not online

* mute specific topics or subscribe only to a few categories

* you can like answers without having to say '+1'

* simple to self-host IMO

* open source

* our community likes it too ('it is simple to use and does what it should')

* the inbuild search is good

There are parts that work better than with Github:

* The email response is bundled over 10 minutes before sending, reducing emails a lot and allows for fast edits!

* you see in your notification where you get likes (you don't get emails because of this of course)

What I don't like:

* performance feels not that great for longer threads (similar problem on github IMO)
Agreed on both points. Either I missed your note about isolation on the first read or you edited.
That's what I thought, I don't know that e-mail is still the best, but it's at least what I thought most people at most places still use to do exactly what you described there.
My state does not have open primaries, and my rep tore his fax machine out of the wall to keep ResistBot from using it. Some of these people are like cockroaches. They scuttle into the closest hiding spot whenever the lights come on. Then they're back to crawling all over your food the instant the public gets distracted again.

And they can get away with it, thanks to safe districts.

What we need to focus on is purely algorithmic redistricting for 2020, and approval voting for all ballots. Gerrymandering and FPTP voting are deliberate impediments to political competition that must be removed if meaningful change is to occur.

Your voice will not be heard on net neutrality if your rep doesn't have to listen to you. Your voice will not be heard on data privacy if your rep does not have to listen to you. Your voice will not be heard on allowing local municipal broadband systems if your rep does not have to listen to you. Your voice will not be heard on anything so long as your rep can safely ignore you term after term after term.

So you really need to worry about your state legislature now, so you can abolish gerrymandering before 2020, and possibly also get rid of first-past-the-post voting.
Maybe it was indeed one payment and then the bank asked for something unreasonable, further delaying other payments.

It happened to me once. I received an unreasonable bill for building maintenance fees, didn't pay, they sent me a lawyer making more unreasonable demands, I told them to fuck off (after consulting a lawyer myself). The thing is : because I didn't know how much to pay, I didn't pay for several months in a row. I only paid after everything was sorted out. It never went to court BTW, the guy responsible for the mess has been fired and his successor did a great job cleaning it.
How else do you explain the massive collapse in support last election?

They lost so much. 86% of their seats (57 to 8), 66% of their popular vote (23% to 15.2%).
There's a simple iterative alternative for generating power sets. For each item of a set, you will either include it or exclude it in one of the results. If you count from 0 to 2^n, the binary digits of your counter will enumerate every combination of these possibilities. In Java 8:

static <T> Set<Set<T>> power(List<T> a) {
return IntStream.range(0, 1 << a.size())
.mapToObj(x -> IntStream.range(0, a.size())
.filter(y -> (1 << y & x) != 0)
.mapToObj(y -> a.get(y))
.collect(Collectors.toSet())
).collect(Collectors.toSet());
}

In JS/ES6:

function power(a) {
var r = [];
for(var x = (1 << a.length) - 1; x >= 0; x--) {
r.push(a.filter((y, i) => 1 << i & x));
}
return r;
}

In K6:

When it's a choice between making it easier to import changes or harder to import bugs, I know which one I think is more important when dealing with a security library.

The UK's net contribution is less than 4 Billion Euro, which is like 5 or 6 Euro per citizen/yr. I think they'll manage.

But you're not addressing my point, which wasn't that Brexit isn't going to cost Europe anything. It will. The point is that, because of the size difference, it will cost Britain much more, and that such facts have an effect on negotiations.
I would suggest joining an early stage start up and getting involved with anything remotely to do with data science at every opportunity.
I joined a small company as an analyst with no programming experience and minimal statistical knowledge. I was a graduate but not in a relevant subject and just taught myself the relevant skills on the side. It was a lot of work but not a waste of time.
The programming side of the job can be learnt fairly quickly but the maths and stats side takes longer. I don't think you can really succeed in data science without both. Saying that, you certainly don't have to have a degree to be able to use that knowledge. I did just do a statistics degree though, and it has made the job a lot more pleasurable.
I'm guessing that something about ssh makes it difficult to implement the block oriented (vs stream) comms that protocols like 5250 and 3270 need. Unlike the unix world, they can interact with the terminal without sending things to the host, and there's support for something sort of like html forms, tab traversal, etc. They fill out fields and press a send key. You can't, for example, use a normal telnet client. There's tn3270, tn5250, etc, that layer the extra stuff needed.

You can find "sortof ssh" solutions for AS/400's and z/OS, but they create a tunnel and it's still telnet underneath. Or solutions that are ssh, but are interacting with a linux partition, or posix subsystem, and can't do the 3270/5250 stuff.

It's not "being petty", it's "asserting boundaries" in an abusive situation. You clearly decided to read only half the hypothetical -- or do you think a workplace timing bathroom breaks isn't abusive?

Your post reads as an uncharitable brag about how you're better than me, even though you conclude by agreeing with me.

It's not my duty to go above and beyond for people who are trying to abuse and take advantage of economic needs to treat me as a work animal, not a person in hopes they learn a lesson. You can if you want to, but I think that attitude is what enables that behavior, not mine.

Just like the Pocket PC "feels like an iPhone"? It's worth keeping the context of the conversation in mind.

The tech behind VR has been available for quite some time, the fact that it's still so limited (and has shown so little growth beyond the existing headsets) doesn't encourage "full surround with high resolutions in 5 years" mentalities.
It's supposed to be a lot shorter and simpler. Which means many important things were left out for the sake of brevity. I also think LFS doesn't always explain why we are doing certain things a certain way or how things work. Sure you get a working system but it's often assumed you know why it's working. I'm not sure if I did a better job though.
