Journalists aren't even SMEs in most cases.

If they're good, they get enough depth to explain what SMEs are talking about and to understand the difference between a huckster and an expert. And, amazingly enough, the SMEs themselves will disagree on fine points and big issues.

There is too much specialized information and knowledge for social media companies to be reliable arbiters of truth for any controversial topic.

It changed Galveston forever. My wife's dad would say she probably would have been a Galveston baby if it wasn't for that storm (if it wasn't obvious, she was born and raised in Houston). In 1915, a similar strength hurricane hit Galveston with only 53 casualties.

But by damage and cost, this will very likely be higher.
I wonder if Apple is ok with this. They usually don't like someone's else software running on their machines, especially on such a low level. They will probably negotiate a kill switch for them too.
Consume as much English language content as you can. If you have 'net access you have access to a nearly unlimited amount of it. Just go to Youtube and watch videos on stuff you find interesting. Note that I'm not saying what "learn english language" videos (although those might not hurt if there are some). I mean just watch any videos that you find interesting. Comedy stand up routines, sports, news, educational lectures, pranks, whatever it might be. Along with that, try listening to podcasts in English any time you have some free time. There are millions of podcasts out there, so just google around and find some stuff that you might like.

If you can find something locally, look for the equivalent to a Toastmasters group or something along those lines, and practice speaking in English before an audience. If you can't find that, see if you can find any kind of English language practice group, hopefully one that features are least one or two native English speakers, or someone who is fluent.

Start a blog. Write. Actively solicit feedback. Pay attention to said feedback.

And on that vein, here's my feedback on this post:

How to improved English communication?

"Improved" is past-tense, making that sentence not grammatical and awkward sounding. "How to improve my English communication"? would be more correct. Something like "How can I improve my English communication" is also correct and arguably sounds a little more natural.

I am a lead developer.

Perfect.

My most of the education happens in local native language and on top of that I am introvert.

Should be something like "Most of my education happens in my local native language, and on top of that I am an introvert".

As I am growing, communication in English become critical to me (speaking, writing & listing).

Understandable but would sound more natural if worded something like:

"As I am growing, communication in English (speaking, writing & listing) is becoming critical to me."

Any tips, tricks & helps.

Would sound better as

"Any tips, tricks, or suggestions are appreciated."

"helps" as a noun is a non-word in English as far as I know. At any rate, pretty much no native English speaker would use that particular construction.
I gave up paragliding after 3 years. Had some close calls but never got injured myself. But I saw way too many ambulances up close loading people I knew.
Those are their sponsors. So I don't know if "no funding" is right. Also they directly list TUM (TU Munich) as sponsor.

Either you need to work on how you deliver the message, or your manager needs to handle the other team members as difficult.

(Assuming that you're not rejecting pull requests with "this code sucks,") It's time to escalate the problem with management. Otherwise, you need to plan to spend more time mentoring, and/or find another strong member of the team to split the mentoring with.
The big fast food chains have been doing that for 10-20 years. This is just moving the technology down to the small shops.
Yes, switching jobs is necessary in IT most of the time. Some HR people will even see staying at one job for too long as weird.
I had always used pencil in high school for math, figuring that I would occasionally need to correct or start over on some portion of my work; I graduated in 1969. At MIT, I learned as a freshman from an upperclassman to switch to using a pen. Every minute counted and simply crossing out was much faster than erasing . To this day, I rarely use a pencil. For scratch work I write on typing paper with a pen.

While working on more complex problem sets in my recent graduate math and CS courses I developed a couple of additional tricks:

(1) Do your home work on plain paper sheets. Write on only one side; flipping sheets of paper back and forth to find something will drive you crazy and slow you down.

(2) After obtaining a solution, copy it from the work sheets (that may be full of dead ends) to the sheets to be turned in. Then fold the work papers in half, brining the top edge down to the bottom edge and set aside. This keeps your workspace clean for the next problem while still preserving any work for subsequent parts or problems. I also fold the papers that I will turn in, but I fold them with a vertical fold (left edge over to right edge), this keeps the to be turned in papers from being mixed up with the work in progress or the set aside work sheets that I'm finished with.

(3) Papers to be turned in should be lightly tinted and or written in an unusual ink color. This accomplishes two things, it's easier to find your work when returned in a big box or stack by the professor, and secondly, the graders will start to recognize your work. My theory is that in these classes I'm usually at the top of the class the graders will start to grade my papers more charitably because they expect that I am getting the correct answers.
No where did I say or imply that. No violence is okay. However classing the Antifa bogeyman in the same league as the group that fired guns into protesters and ran down people in a car does a massive disservice to yourself and your country.

Hello justadeveloper2, care for a subscription to Jacobin mag? https://www.jacobinmag.com/
Depends on the type of joke. For setup/punchline and wordplay-type jokes, I think “contrast” is more apt. The punchline is a resolution, sure, but not usually in the sense of a conflict—it’s dispelling confusion by connecting the parts that have been presented, or inviting the audience to connect them to have that “Oh, I get it!” moment. That seems basically like kishoutenketsu.

To me, humour based on conflict, even between expectation and reality, falls more into the category of irony, mocking, or slapstick, where someone (or something) is the “butt of the joke”.

If that is the WARR vehicle, the GP doesn't mention not getting sponsors, just that the University didn't directly support it.

Though, I wonder where they built this and worked on it. My guess would be that they had lab space provided by the school.
Great point. "Yes, I know you had a reservation, but we sold your table to someone else. I can't do anything here, but if you call the 800 number a robot will send you a $20 voucher for your next meal."
this is clearly not true in all cases; i think the more likely story is that like most industries, 80% of the profits are taken by 20% of the firms.

also, salaries don't count toward margin so i wouldn't be surprised if most owner/managers make a reasonable living (albeit with long hours) even if their businesses aren't very profitable on paper.

It's not entirely US specific, but incentives do vary depending on how the system works. In some, doctors are on salary so there isn't any particular incentive to increase office visits.

I won't really comment about ML/AI in general. But, if you specifically care about getting into Deep Learning, I would say only bother looking into:
- Basic linear algebra and matrix algebra.

Since you would rely on frameworks like Tensorflow to handle figuring out the derivatives for you, you don't really need to know much calculus. Just read up on what derivative of a function at a particular point signifies. This should give you enough intuition to understand things initially.

A skill that would really come in useful would be ability to look at a function and think how increasing/decreasing one of the variables would affect it's value. This would help develop intuition around a lot of concepts used in Deep Learning topologies.
Oh hey, you're right, we did discuss this a while ago. Nice to see you again!

Yes, you're right that skydiving is safe compared to the sports that are more dangerous than skydiving. I agree and admit there are sports and activities that are more dangerous than skydiving. Wingsuit flying is one of them.

Last time we talked, you said the risk of dying skydiving is 1 in 100,000 and pointed at the comparative table here: http://www.besthealthdegrees.com/health-risks/

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12419507

That number is per jump, not per year. The other 11 pictures in the top 12 of that page are per year figures. The units are different, the comparison is invalid. Juxtaposing these numbers is wrong, and quoting 1/100,000 per jump is super misleading when you compare it to the annual fatality rates of other sports.

This is what I was talking about above. The annual fatality rate of skydiving is 1 in 1,580. Skydiving is a bit safer than hang-gliding, roughly 3x. It's definitely not 180x safer, which is the very first thing the infographic implies.

The infographic depicts skydiving as safer than boxing, football, canoeing, and SCUBA. That is flat false, skydiving is much more dangerous than all of those combined.

BTW, with respect to regulation, about one in about 1600 skydivers die each year after having gone through training, after safety inspections, after exposure to the risks and liability waivers, after subscribing to USPA magazine and reading about each and every death in the U.S., etc. etc. Since nobody needs a license to get in a canoe, you may expect a higher percentage of people who are unprepared for the risks of canoeing to die doing it. Skydiving has a relatively high fatality rate despite the fact that it's regulated and the skydiving population has more training and safety equipment than other sports.

You are clearly debating based on perceptions of my being part of 'a certain segment of people with particular persuasions'. I gave up Facebook but I am very interested in who gets to decide what information I am allowed to see via the internet.

Irrelevant. Limiting speech doesn't solve that contradiction, it only guarantees the worse outcome. More speech solves your proposed "contradiction" just fine.

It's worth noting that this is the structure of haikus, which rarely make any sense in translation. Haikus hinge on a twist as well, usually a word of two meanings that is meant to create emotional movement. For example, something like "In the forest the dark pine/of my desire" would play on two meanings of the word "pine".
For ML, the other users gave a good coverage of topics. But AI is an incredibly broad field, and each specialty uses different math topics. Learning all of the math would be infeasible. What are your particular interests?

Russell and Norvig have a good book at http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu that covers many different topics in AI, although it is definitely not comprehensive. I would say that whatever you learn in an undergraduate CS degree would give you a good starting point for learning any particular AI topics.
Waymo's self driving tech is definitely not anywhere near level 5 capability (if that were true, they'd rule the world right now and we'd all be using their tech). From Waymo's Wikipedia article:

>As of 28 August 2014, according to Computer World Google's self-driving cars were in fact unable to use about 99% of US roads.[57] As of the same date, the latest prototype had not been tested in heavy rain or snow due to safety concerns.[58] Because the cars rely primarily on pre-programmed route data, they do not obey temporary traffic lights and, in some situations, revert to a slower "extra cautious" mode in complex unmapped intersections. The vehicle has difficulty identifying when objects, such as trash and light debris, are harmless, causing the vehicle to veer unnecessarily. Additionally, the lidar technology cannot spot some potholes or discern when humans, such as a police officer, are signaling the car to stop.[59] Google projects plan on having these issues fixed by 2020.[60]

It's really not better than human drivers, and I don't know where this myth comes from.
The latest version of ME, 11, uses a x86 processor. That's why the researchers were able to perform this analysis and find the bit to flip. It also doesn't disable ME, just most of it.
It also has 179 comments (as of this comment). As I understand it, high comment rates can trigger the "overheated discussion detector" which can depress a submission's rank. HN isn't intended for and actively works against creating a community where flame wars (discussions that create more heat than light) are encouraged and proliferate.

VisiCalc was disruptive, but I don't think putting a company's FileMaker screens on the web is. YouTube? Sure. YouTube recommendations? Not so much. Uber/Lyft/etc. only leapfrogged the taxi industry by automating dispatch, not much else about the business is seismic compared the past (medallions aside).

Your first point is pretty reductive. The idea of the selfish gene has been very dominant until recently. Your very example can be reframed as selfish behavior.
As another example, it's common in novels to have multiple independent storylines that eventually connect. Part of the tension is "what do these two people's stories have to do with each other?"
Another idea that has worked well for me: get a dog.

It can get lonely working alone at home; dogs keep you company. It can be easy to stay in the house all day; dogs are a good reason to talk walks outside. It can be easy to let the workday roll into the evening; dogs get hungry for dinner and let you know, which serves as a reminder that, yes, you should stop work for the day.
