"engineer" in France is a regulated title you can only get through a degree (like Germany?). Actually I'm not even sure most foreign schools degrees would be accepted as engineers in France.
>Wow you have to have a graduate degree to even be an eligible employee, never mind.

And yet, if you're a Near-Eastern economic migrant with no French and a 2000 word vocabulary in your native tongue ...welcome aboard.

I think sklearn/pandas are very low level tools that one could use to build products like those offered by the Watson APIs. Will Watson be better than a developer playing with sklearn for a week? Yes. Will it be better than a small machine-learning focused team, working on a domain specific problem for a few months? I would doubt it.
I think this is the case if the mission fuel requirements are too high (if they want to get to a higher orbit for example), then they won't have enough fuel to do the correct burns to land, even on a drone ship. Notice that they're not even including grid fins or landing legs to minimize weight.
I don't speak Danish, although I can read it fairly well---Dutch helps a lot.

Language isn't much of a barrier. English works in 90% of cases, and broken Danish works in the other 10%. The first two modules of Danish classes are sufficient to survive anything given a proficient level of English (for context, there are around 6 or 7 modules, and they're all free, sponsored by the local government).

The main sources of stress are lodging, weather, and social life.

Finding a place to live is ridiculously difficult. As a foreigner, you will be forced to pay 12-15k DKK to get anything decent (think 2k€). Having to deal with short term rentals, visiting places daily for 2-3 months on end to find something you both like and can afford, etc. Dealing with landlords who abuse the terms of the contract, openly cheat and game the system, outright lie and manipulate. I currently pay 15k for a 110m2 flat, 20 minutes bike distance from the city center. My Danish friends tell me I'm overpaying and should get on waiting lists (which take anywhere from 1 to 10 years to come to fruition), my immigrant friends tell me how lucky I am.

The weather might sound like a frivolous point, but the lack of sunlight during the winter, and the overabundance of it during the summer will strain your body. At least it did mine. Random chocolate cravings in the winter. Insomnia during the summer.

The last point, social life, is an interesting one. Although I know a lot more people, and have more "friends" than I did when I lived in the UK, France, or Australia, they are a lot more difficult. Drinking is a real problem, and the fact that I don't is even moreso. There's such a social pressure to drink, that I often have to give in. I often have to order a beer not to be laughed at, interrogated, etc. There's also a lot more pressure to become a parent. Maybe this is due to my age, but it is a topic that has come up a lot more than anywhere else. Heck, when I interviewed here before moving, it was one of the selling points ("You know, Denmark is a _great_ place to have kids.")

In fairness: I'm working in startups now, which probably also accounts for a good portion of the increased stress.
There's no science that says any part of the Earth-human system "constantly moves to optimality". Like, literally any part. It's an out-of-control rollercoaster that we may or may not be able to steward to our liking. "optimality" is a human construct.

Apparently, in this experiment they did not use actual opioid drugs but instead used a placebo protocol (to avoid side effects), but they did produce the empathy reduction effect. And this effect was cancelled out by giving the test subjects naltrexone, so it does seem to be dependent on the opioid receptors.

Sounds like the sort of thing where a tech solution could play a part. A website prominently advertising the location and fun daily activities comes to mind.
I have a use case for which this would be very nice that isn't studying or outlining. Baiscally, I'm testing several biological pathway databases, each containing several pathway collections, each containing many pathways, each containing many genes, using each of several statistical methods, and I want to present the results of running every test on every pathway in every database, as well as present the results for the individual genes within each pathway, and I want these results to be easy to browse. A foldable, hierarchical tree structure is the perfect vehicle for this.

I've implemented my own simple script for this, but this program looks a lot better.

He mentioned that they're not very careful about what they eat. Regardless of the diet, you have to pay attention to what you're consuming, otherwise you're going to have problems.
You can ask and claim whatever you want. That was never in question. What I do question is whether you're serious or just trying to bait a response.

As for the moral premise you're presuming I hold, please spare me your intellectual gymnastics.

Explain to me how Afghan society would be changed by allowing a small group of girls into the United States for a few days -- so they can participate in a robotics competition.

This veneer of non-interventionism and pragmatism is no more than a facade you hide behind.
Government officials DO CARE about ABET. In one of my part lives as an electrical engineer for the Department of Defense, one of the requirements for the position was an engineering degree from an ABET accredited University. I could not have been hired if I had not had a degree from an ABET accredited University.

On the program I work as a contractor on now, the government manager is still a little bitter that he cannot be classified as an engineer because he does not have an ABET accredited Bachelor's Degree (he has a Master's in Systems Engineering, but his BS is in Economics).
I don't understand why this is being downvoted; it's the most correct answer.

People in other answers are adding superfluous fluff about taxes and governments and such things, but none of that is relevant to whether something is currency.

You can be a professional engineer (the bridge designing kind) with a four-year undergraduate degree in all of Canada and the US as far as I know.
This approach was also under attack while negotiating TTIP and other trade agreements. Ironically it was badmouthed as unscientific - as if it's better to throw any new heavily patented chemical on the market and let science figure out reliably that it's problematic - something that can take up to 20 years if it's with possible at all with enough scientific rigor - of course public research can't get any details due to patents and trade secrets - also ecosystems are not exactly easy to replicate in the lab.

Yes, and all those non-animal foodstuffs are available also to normal people, in addition to additional foodstuffs which come from animals. Vegan diet is less diverse by definition, as they merely limit themselves, they do not eat anything non-vegans can't. Simple maths.
I have a bachelor's degree in EE but do software now and am mostly self taught in that department. I have met my fair share of incompetent programmers with masters degrees though. I like the idea of moving to Europe and working there for a while, but I get the distinct impression they are far more concerned with degrees and credentials over there and I am not sure I would fit in.
For this launch, the rocket will need to launch a very heavy satellite (up to the rockets performance limit) to a higher altitude. Thus requiring all of its fuel. There won't be enough fuel left to land the rocket since they need to bring velocity back to 0. Weight matters a lot too (even the coat of paint on the rocket adds up) so having no legs would increase the performance of the rocket.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I mean, it's not as if hacking/cyber-threats, etc. haven't been top of news lately.

You just wonder, why there's no one minding the gate on something so high-profile? You're specifically dealing with sensitive data in the context of a "fraud investigation" and there's no one whose job it is to understand security and sign-off on your processes, requests, etc.?

And, it's even worse: training people to expect a "legitimate" government request for sensitive info to provide an e-mail address to which to forward is just plain horrible and taught in Anti-Phishing 101. Anyone whose run an online business for 15 minutes understands this.

The next email says, "please forward to ElectionIntegrityStaff@ovp.gov.us" and let's guess what many of the compliant folks are going to do.

It's a fire-able offense.
Saying it's 'less diverse' isn't the same as saying it 'lacks diversity'...

Honey bees aren't native to North America at least. If they went extinct, native plants would be fine.
I agree, and would extend that to the earth system in general. The universe does not care for good, bad, optimal, or suboptimal; the universe simply is.

It is very cool that there are already success stories.

Without ever being in Africa, I lack the knowledge and wonder if the current infrastructure is capable of supporting knowledge-based economy on a broad scale, but it's certainly good to see that high tech businesses could thrive there, and incubators are getting created.

Doesn't this solve the battery storage issue for renewables? I mean you can produce lakes of this stuff and 'burn it' when needed.

Strategically could be worth shipping/piping from a high sun/wind/geothermal area.

The key is that it is a way to store renewable energy easily and cheaply.

Thanks to grade inflation there are only A students now.

I love the Dropbox sync, although I found it hit or miss. Some books it wouldn't work. But, I've bought at least 50 books from their site.

I tried Safari when I was still in university, but found it terrible (but that was a few years back). I won't pay $400/year for a service like it. I could see maybe half that being reasonable. But, there are so many subscription services now.
People will use it when it makes sense for them to use it. People are ignorant because they don't need to use it.
Indeed but people confuse the two. Almost all of the issues with pesticides come from insecticides specifically. Insectices are designed to kill animals after all.
Zuckerberg and Gates either had good enough high school GPAs and SATs to get into Harvard or got in on legacy (George W. Bush Yale style).
Errr, you mean "study whether" not "confirm/publish", since that would be assuming the conclusion.

There are, in fact, pesticides that have no effect on humans.

(and in fact, sadly, some of the things people think are "natural alternatives" are much worse for humans, like copper sulfate)
Is there a law of mathematics that you can't break the cryptography used by Bitcoin?
Not really news. This has crossed the mind of just about anyone who has seen the Face2Face clips on YouTube.

Could be interesting to see what will happen to big media conglomerates, though. The day that any form of media is regarded as reliable as witness testimony, it will all start being treated as such. Suddenly, a video can't be taken seriously unless it is independently corroborated by some other organization. That could be a push towards diversity in news reporting.

On the other hand, the ability to forge events also enhances the impact of credibility, which pushes the whole sector in the opposite direction.
Technically, they're saying Google will offer them DRM-free, but they're ePub and the PDFs are conversions from ePub. It looks like ebooks.com will offer ePub and PDF that are DRM-free too.
Person of color here. Everyone else have to struggle a bit more. I am not automatically privileged like the whites are born into. I changed my name in the resume to a white name just for a test and surprisingly got more interview requests.
We usually see the opposite effect, especially for technical books with a large potential market. Visibility is key.
No, negative comments with backup and other information are incredibly valuable. Moreso when the topic is something as difficult (and potentially foolish) as moving to a foreign country.

Negative comments with absolutely no further information don't add anything more to the conversation, and they have the potential to create paranoia where none should be.
No one's responsible for anything anymore. What you're saying essentially amounts to poverty preventing people from shedding a disease of affluence.

Yes, exactly. That got, semi-explicitly, changed in the fork. While remaining so in the nonfork.
I will second this, many doctors are willfully ignorant and can't even conceive of the notion that a doctor is capable of being uninformed or wrong.

I've been having some unexplained medical issues lately and asked for some specialized blood tests and was refused (this being Canada, you go to the doctor with your hat in your hand, begging that they actually take your problems seriously, and if they don't want to help you, you're out of luck.)
Yeah, weaponized linguistics. The problem is, as any weapon, it can backfire.

General public doesn't give a rat's ass about jargon churned out by all those activists. And I'm absolutely not singling out sex workers here, SJWs tend to be the biggest offenders now.

If public familiarity with some subtle, nonobvious definition of "sex worker" is an important point of their strategy, they are probably doing it wrong. If they are getting collateral damage from the human trafficking propaganda, they can talk about "legal sex work" or whatever to cut themselves from it.

Activists overestimate familiarity with their jargon and ideas in the public. Firstly, because they live in echo chambers. Secondly, because virtue signalers amplify apparent popularity outside of the echo chambers too. It's a trap. Ask people who were sure that Trump will lose.

Just wear enough protection, especially if you are in austrailia. Skin cancer is also on the rise.
True, but that's not at all what I meant. I'm not saying it's ok for tech to do bad things because of other good things it has done. I am saying that it is wrong to accuse tech, on the whole, of "making race and gender divides worse". Universal access to information benefits everyone, with no distinction of race and gender. World-spanning communication networks help bridge the divide. Cheap electronics make these resources accessible even to the needy (think of the unjustly bemoaned homeless or refugees with smartphones - they are not a luxury, but a vital lifeline). Etc.

Could we do more? Should we do more? Sure. But that doesn't mean others are justified in completely misrepresenting the history of this industry's contributions to the world.

The best option I’ve found is https://hckrnews.com/

Not an app, but I think it’s better than almost all of the apps out there. Clean, quick, and has an “open in new tab” feature.

Rather than writing my own description, here’s the pitch in the site’s own words:

> Hacker News is a great resource. However, I seemed to constantly run into two issues. 1. If I didn't visit at least once a day, top items would scroll off the top pages and I would never see them. 2. If I was procrastinating and visiting the page often, I would find it difficult to determine what was new on the page. That frustration led to hckr news, a chronologic list of items that have made it onto the Hacker News homepage.

(https://hckrnews.com/about.html)

I think apps don’t have much to offer since HN has thread collapse and vote-undo these days.
Looking at the info about the formats for that book it seems that the ePub and PDF are unrestricted.
I thought there is a shortage on devs these days.

No. It's difficult to evaluate and hire, and the process generally takes much longer than companies would like, for a whole bunch of reasons (some good, some bad).

Which people confuse with "a shortage of qualified devs".
Did you report the bugs? I once reported a bug in MiniHack and it was fixed pretty quickly.

I think I encountered the problem with editing your own posts but I post rarely on mobile and when I do I'm in a hurry. BTW a HN sandbox would be cool where you could test these things without causing noise.

What is the problem with the voting you mentioned?
Many indians know English, but how many of them know french. It's hard to live in a country without knowing the language.
I wasn't talking about Java in particular. Instead, I was focusing on this sentence:

In general, nobody cares what the tech stack powering a solution to a given problem is.

> Personally, I think the statement is too strong. Rust is not immune to these things as the compiler is victim to all the realities of software development that all projects face. But it certainly does dramatically reduce the bug vectors.

The Rust compiler is extremely good at preventing undefined behavior in code that's not being written maliciously. You really can't encounter one by accident.

removing satellites from orbit quickly will be needed when constellation programs will start. Guys like Eelon Musk plans to launch thousends of cubesats and deorbiting norms and techniques will be needed and probably mandatory.
Launching a cubesat costs a fraction compared to launching a 1 ton satellite, so you can end up launching 50 satellites instead of 1 and make them work tigether.

today we count something close to 1700 active satelite and dubling this number in a year (and maybe again the year after) it is a step that have to be done right, the first time because space is big but the good orbits are few; and a kessler syndrome scenario is possible.
It is imaginable that to keep the whole carousel running, you need to be able to launch and dispose satellites quickly and safely.

And even though tethers are not exactly the quicker or safer system, there is a lot of work to be done and is interesting that PSLV C-38 launched many deorbiting devices.
I agree completely, but most people could go 80% of the way just by eating 20% smaller portions of the same food they eat right now.

Does it cost more to cook smaller portions? I think even worst case scenario is it costs the same, e.g. you cook the same amount and throw 20% away (or it goes bad).

What would help is if people stopped treating weight loss as some insurmountable problem.
