You should add Nixon to that list, since they said two full terms, and Nixon's example may well be followed again. Gerald Ford belongs on that list too. In fact, only four of the ten most recent former Presidents served two full terms. (JFK is something of a different category, of course.)
I don't think it's just a thin line, I think it's an overlap, that's the problem. Monopolies can be genuinely convenient/useful for consumers. Sometimes regulators have to make things less convenient/useful in the short term to prevent monopoly and stagnation in the long term.
No. The key difference is that iTunes owns the rights to the contest it promotes via some kind of author-distributor agreement, so all the contest is 'theirs'. Google search, on the other hand, crawls the whole web, but put results by Google Shopping on top and punishes others, that have nothing to do with Google nor gave them an explicit permission to use their content. This creates an illusion that Google Shopping products are somehow better.

I think you just received some good interview advice, unintentionally.
Let's say you avoided interviewing with 4 future team mates from company Company A by using Tripplebyte.

And come to find out most of those 4 people you didn't have a chance to interact with during the interview process are completely toxic and unprofessional. You only find this out after you have accepted the job.

If you find yourself looking for a new job again in month then Tripplebyte hasn't really saved you any time have they? I am not sure where this idea comes form that just because the company is "Apple, Facebook, Dropbox and Stripe" does not automatically mean that everyone on every team is a great personally or one you would want to work with.

When I interview with a company and I don't think I am alone in this I am also interviewing the company. I am thinking "are these people I could work with?" The novelty of working on Big S.V. Company eventually wears off and if it's a bad fit for you on personality or culture then you are either going to be unhappy, looking for a new job or both. I and I imagine many others are OK with a slower process if it means being able to make a better informed decision.

Google's dominance is so complete that for years even their top browser competitor, Firefox, came preset to use an omnibox with Google as the default search engine, meaning that everything one typed into the browser was sent to Google, even if not actually a Google search.

This integration with Google is pervasive in Firefox; there are dozens of settings built into the browser that send information to various Google services. Yes, it's possible to change all of them, but probably less than 0.001% of users will do that. This is why it's not possible to take Firefox's claim that they are pro-privacy seriously.
Seems to me that the evidence surrounding this isn't strong enough to warrant designating glyphosate as "cancer-causing" for humans, but the evidence surrounding the adverse effects in animals is pretty strong (based on my skimming of the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphosate#Humans).

I personally reckon that making Google Search a significantly worse product is part of the reason why this happened. One of the companies pushing for this is Ciao, a comparison shopping service owned by Microsoft and used to provide the equivalent feature for Bing search results. Microsoft clearly know how useful these kinds of contextual results are, because before Google had them they were promoting them as Bing's big advantage over Google. Now they've managed to get the EU to restrict Google's ability to compete by offering them.

Windows Defender was introduced as an antispyware in Windows Vista. Antivirus functionality was initially available separately as a part of Security Essentials, which was merged with Defender for the Windows 8 release.
Some basic analysis:

1. Kernels (Functions in NNabla) are mostly implemented in Eigen.

2. Network Forward is implemented as sequential run of functions. No multi-threaded scheduling. No multi-GPU or distributed support.

3. Python binding is implemented in Cython.

4. Have some basic dynamic graph support: run functions as soon as you add them to the graph, and run backward afterwards. Somewhat similar to PyTorch.

5. No support for checkpointing and graph serialization, or I'm missing something.

I'm not sure why Sony is releasing this (yet another) deep learning framework. I don't see any new problems the project is trying to solve, compared to other frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. The code is simple and clear, but nowadays people need high-performance, distributed, production-ready frameworks, not another toy-ish framework. Someone please shed some light on me?

BTW, for newcomers to deep learning systems, [CSE 599G1](http://dlsys.cs.washington.edu/) is a good start.
If google can manipulate search results, then ISP companies can manipulate internet traffic. I think the arguements in favour of net neutrality can also be applied to this case.

Then they will continue to be fined for anti-competitive behaviour. Which is also illegal in the US, the US just doesn't enforce their existing laws.

I don't think you're not really "melting the fat". Fat by itself melts almost immediately. What you're really doing is breaking down the connective tissue binding the fat, which takes time.

Brining does cause the meat to retain more liquid and that does increase juiciness, but it can also harm texture and flavor.

Not well. Candidates get disoriented and can't come up with anything relevant. It's a very small dataset though.
I would think a purely technical approach to this is flooding the plant every hour, and then measuring the differential of how much water had flooded the roots vs. how much water was pumped out.

If the differential is tending to 0 then it means that not only the soil is saturated, but the plant is as well. This is _quite_ a basic concept, since you do not want a fully saturated soil all of the time.

A proper biological approach is to estimate how much water exactly the plant needs per unit of time, and then make sure the differential is always exactly that amount. This is not an exact science, especially when you're only working with a single plant and your conditions are probably far from ideal.

This approach would easily take into account other hidden variables, such as the rate of evaporation of water from the soil that depends on the ambient temperature. It also scales to hydroponics.

Yes I remember from university in the literature these were referred to as Expert Systems. Vertical AI seems to be a new rebranding for new wave of more advance expert systems.
I've performed interviews and phone screens for years and out of all the techniques I've tried all of them typically end up with me thinking I'm doing it wrong. Basic domain questions, problem solving, white boarding, white boarding along side the person helping them out, coding in an IDE, take home projects. As of today, in Kansas City, I'm looking at around 4% pass rate, and close to 90% utter face palming failures.

I check my ego at the door, I try to make the person as comfortable as possible, small talk, help them out as much as I can, provide them with answers or explanations when they get something wrong. I've never asked an algorithm or data structure question, I've rarely asked a patterns question. Most people can't answer basic every day questions.

Overtime my goal in interviews turned into making sure the interviewee left with more domain knowledge than when they came in hoping it will help them do better somewhere else.

Ended up creating a pre-screening service that asks the same basic questions and in the end provides the user with a study guide based on how they answered. Currently piloting with two local recruiting companies and I'm finding the same similar statistics of failure/success. Maybe that makes me the issue :)

Not necessarily. I read this as saying that if other players have well marked up content, they should have their listings appear in infoboxes, perhaps alongside Google's. Not that the infoboxes be removed.
Not from the US so correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the US had (and exercised) solid antitrust laws way before Silicon Valley developed? The case of Standard Oil in the early 20th century comes to mind.

From the article:

> Google has demoted rival comparison shopping services in its search results: rival comparison shopping services appear in Google's search results on the basis of Google's generic search algorithms. Google has included a number of criteria in these algorithms, as a result of which rival comparison shopping services are demoted. Evidence shows that even the most highly ranked rival service appears on average only on page four of Google's search results, and others appear even further down. Google's own comparison shopping service is not subject to Google's generic search algorithms, including such demotions.

There is nothing wrong with Google's integration. The complaint is that Google unfairly promotes its own services at the expense of rivals. When I search for something, I expect the search results displayed to be relevant and fair. I have no problem with Google having that sponsored Google Shopping ad, but demoting other highly relevant results to the fourth page is highly anti-competitive and downright unfair. How many times in the last week have you actually flipped through 4 pages of Google Search results?

In short, yes! But just to be 100% sure, I would encourage you to read the detailed table of contents (it's can be downloaded along the free first chapter from the book's homepage, in the right column: https://www.feistyduck.com/books/bulletproof-ssl-and-tls/ ).

One important point I would make is that my book doesn't dissect the protocols in detail. There is only one chapter (about 50 pages) dedicated to the protocol and I wanted to cover it at a level that virtually everyone will want to understand. If you want more than that, hundreds of pages won't be enough; in the end you will have to dive into the dozens of RFCs, and so on. What I do do, is point to those RFCs so that you at least know where to find the additional documentation. IIRC there are more than 600 links in the book and they can all be found here (automatically extracted from the DocBook XML manuscript): https://fsty.uk/bulletproof-ssl-and-tls

My realisation was that, in practice, actual protocol flaws are not the weakest link. Instead, there are hundreds of different problems everywhere in the ecosystem, so you need to look at the issues in the protocol, but also in the certification authorities and the certificate issuance process, SSL/TLS stacks, clients, browsers, servers, libraries, development and configuration practices, and so on. My book is thus very practical and examines all these aspects that you need to understand at at least some level if you want to use TLS.

BTW, please note that I will send you a free digital copy of the book if you buy the paperback _anywhere_ and send me the receipt. The benefit of the digital edition is that it's typically much more current than the paperback. In fact, the digital edition is fully up to date at the moment. I published a complete revision just yesterday.

The goal is not to copy something and pass it off as your own work. It's an exercise to learn how to think in this technology in a way that's not just another todo app or whatever. You use what you learn to actually build something that can go in your portfolio.

> he'd likely close the business and she (my family member) would end up being worse off.

>>This is exactly the train of thought I think is incorrect: Businesses that can't pay workers a living wage should have to shut down.

So are you saying that no business should ever start or get off the ground because they don't have all the funding they need to do so (including paying proper wages)? Many of these minimum wage jobs were not suppose to be a full-time career path. These jobs were intended for people getting their first job, people in retirement or those seeking just a little bit of extra cash.
As someone who is cautious about the prospect of Amazon and other large retailers completely dominating the e-commerce space, this ruling worries me a bit.

As things stand, the Google Shopping results allow smaller, independent e-commerce stores to reach the top of Google's search results.

Take this functionality away, and we risk the top search results being a combination of Amazon + other large retailers for the majority of e-commerce related searches.
>Do you think an organisation like EU can effectively fine or regulate their way to a more uniform market though?

Maybe or maybe not, but fining seems like a step in the right direction.

>I don't see how you could stop this without crippling the type of answers Google provides.

As I wrote above, I'm all for crippling them if that's what it takes. But turning them into some kind of public infrastructure is another way.
In the US too.

The US just oddly decides not to enforce it, then the EU gets shit on for being anti-American when they correctly enforce things that are illegal in both the EU and US.
