The first semicolon doesn't appear to conform to any of the standard usages, nor does it seem to add any benefit over a normal comma. I thought the semicolon could replace a comma in a list of things, but you are using it to separate the intro clause? thing, like "In the end," above.

Sure, but your usage here certainly isn't making things clearer.

Politics?

It's reasonable that the UK Government may not agree if the appearance is bad and would cause political backlash. It's also possible that they're harder to lean on than as smaller, weaker, lower GDP government.

I mean, it could be as simple as "they won't agree, but other guys might". Maybe someone in US Gov has a better relationship with the person/people in Sweden that would need to approve things. Maybe someone owes someone else a favor.

All of these are reasonable possibilities. Governments aren't 1 dimensional.
Speed, in of itself, is not dangerous. What is more dangerous on highways is differential speed. i.e. if you're driving 60 mph when the traffic around you is doing 80 mph, you're the problem. Probably exponentially so if you're driving slowly in the "fast" lane. While rarely enforced, most states in the US have laws that require you to pull to the right if you're impeding traffic (usually defined as holding up +2 vehicles behind you) - even if you're doing the speed limit. Yet, these laws are rarely enforced, just like "No Trucks Left 2 Lanes" is never enforced in & around Chicago, despite being posted every mile or so on I 294.

I'd wager, also, that speed itself is rarely the direct cause of an accident. High speed, though, will make an accident more severe. My bet is that distracted driving is the #1 cause of accidents. On my daily 2-hour round trip on Chicagoland highways, I usually see 4-6 accidents each involving >2 cars. The shear amount of people I see on their phones is staggering. Hard to tell if it's social media or texting, but you can always tell because their head is staring at their lap, or they're holding their phones at the top of the steering wheel for all to see. I also see people with their phones mounted on their dashes watching movies or TV shows. Playing with your phone while driving is far more dangerous than paying attention & speeding.
Ironically, I had the same thing happen with cycling (at a lower speed). Got in a bike vs. car accident ten years ago and since then almost never ride on the street, but driving is fine.

Interesting, though I must ask: Why YML instead of a DSL?

Granted, I come from Ruby, and writing DSLs is pretty typical. Maybe not so popular in Python.

I am asking this because I become suspicious of config languages that read like code. Is not a bonafide programming language the better choice in this scenario? i.e. all overly-configurable formats (e.g. Terraform .tf files, JSON schemas...) converge on just being a new scripting language?

I’m French, but spent a portion of my childhood living in the USA (South Carolina) due to my father’s work.

The one thing that my extremely French parents couldn’t stop making fun of at the time, and still can’t stop making fun of now 20 years later, is the American habit of praising children repeatedly, putting stickers on homework, giving participation ribbons for every event, etc.

It was actually an interesting dichotomy: I’d get my homework back from the teacher with it saying “Great job!” with a cute little star sticker, and then at home my mom would get mad at me because she thought I made dumb mistakes and would make me do it all over again.

Definitely a strong contrast between French and American values in schooling, at least in the 90s. I’m left handed, and in the 2nd grade I had a teacher who would tear apart any piece of paper I gave her that had any ink smudge on it (fountain pens are mandatory in French grade school - which also confused my parents when we moved to the US and I was expected to write everything in pencil) and make me do it all over again. I do have really neat handwriting now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

15 years later, as a grad student in the US, teachers I TA’d for repeatedly told me I was too harsh in my grading and that I shouldn’t take off points for small mistakes, typos, etc. That’s another big difference between French and US schooling: in France, you’re graded out of 20; but at the high school/college level, if you have an average above 15/20, you’re most certainly in the top of your class. In fact, in some top tier universities the class average might be 8/20. In grad school in the US, I had a 90%+ average, and routinely got 100% on tests - something just completely foreign to me.
And the hunt for the "magic sauce" in education trundles on...

Or just use your established botnet aka chrome and android.
Not necessarily. It could be to provide tinder for a Labour civil war. Hell, being in Australia I know all about the right benefiting from such a thing. It’s certainly a huge hypocrisy.
I don't know how that could mean anything other than becoming familiar with a deep learning library/platform product and implementing feature requests with it.

In that case, I can readily see that. Especially if they have good teachers and teach the concepts thoroughly.

Oracle Database Initially Missed in StackOverflow Developer Survey
Negative trends 4 and 5 are not, contra the article, AI-specific; AI just happens to be the intellectual problem of the moment.

The team I was on waaaay back in the prehistory of the web era was warned against hiring too many PhDs. We disregarded the advice. (These were smart guys, yo! They had PhDs!) We spent a couple of years tackling interesting problems instead of relevant problems, and just about entirely missed out on the first web bubble as a result.

I love smart academic people. I love those big brains. I'll never hire one ever again. Give me someone who's more interested in working around a problem than in studying it, and we'll get things done. Give me a PhD and we'll have a nice paper about it about 5 years after anyone other than their thesis advisor cares.
I'm quite sure people that don't spend thousands of dollars (or even a penny) on microtransactions aren't the minority.
As someone with a kid in China, kids TV is far more formative than books. Why? Books in Chinese are not read by kids, they are read by parents since it is impossible to learn enough Chinese characters to achieve literacy while young! In my observation, most Chinese parents are very busy and do not spend much time reading with their kids.
Ha... I watched the movie, which was a mistake! I'll go back and read the book now
> peer-reviewed research" is sort of missing the point. How about "politely and scientifically insinuating that some of my co-workers wouldn't be working here if it weren't for social programs at the company" which can be taken for insult.

The author did no such thing - at least not without the caveat that their rejection would have been a false negative, which negates any implications about these co-workers abilities. And taking steps to reduce the false negative rate for diverse candidates is a pretty standard practice in bay area, see this past comment of mine for an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14953762

Other commenters have chimed in saying Google has similar policies, and the company openly states on their careers page that they're an affirmative action employer. If making a factually correct statement about the company's hiring practices is an insult, then it'd be prudent to rethink those practices.
There are so many differences between the US and China that statements like these ("children's books are raising test scores," "happiness-focused culture is lowering suicide rates") are completely silly. There are innumerable variables at play, and they're all adding to and canceling each other out in wild and unpredictable ways.
this already happens: in a variety of languages, x could just be an ordinary function with the body defined below any given usage. here, `where` could be replaced with a standard function definition, and it's `+` would still be textually below the usage's `-`.

Indeed. There seems to be a security oligarchy now consisting of Google, FB, Apple, Amazon et al. and Intel.
Yeah, Akamai, Google, to some extent Bose come to mind.

Most PhD theses would NOT become companies, so this is good advice for a PhD student but not for a founder. If a founder finds a PhD thesis that is worth productionizing, then the fact that it was a PhD thesis is irrelevant.

I don't think that's too outrageous as long as we don't read "practitioners" and hear "experts". Agree that the article is a thinly disguised recruiting advertisment though.
Why would you need more than a year of coding experience to learn deep learning? Isn't it mostly math? I wouldn't think that mastering advanced Python syntax or whatever would be the limiting factor for most people.
Here's my two cents. Is it a fad and a bubble? Most likely.

But do not discount value that the token creates as a network effect. Think of the currency as an investment vehicle to reward people who jump on to the network first. Consider Facebook, the first hundred customers are billions of times more valuable then the last hundred.

Once this fad dies, people should start joining the networks they plan to use, and early adopters will be rewarded for helping creating the network.

On top of that, it decentralizes the control of the network but temporarily provides capital for it's creators. It does not ensure that their system will belong to them in purpituity. Which is a good thing!
Does anyone have a link to Linux PoC code for Meltdown that uses speculative branch execution?

I've only seen two implementations: one based just doing the access to kernel memory, catching the SIGSEGV, and then probing the cache. Obviously that could be closed by the kernel flushing the cache prior handing control back t user space after SIGSEGV. Doing that would have no impact on normal programs.

The second is by exploiting a bug in Intel's transactional memory implementation. But I assume Intel could turn that feature off as they have done so in the past. Since bugger all programs use it doing so wouldn't have much impact.

Which means the approach being take now is done purely to kill the speculative branch method (ie, Spectre pointed at the kernel). The authors say it should work, but also say they could not make it work. I haven't been able to find working any PoC for my Linux machines.

So my question is: is there any out there?
>...I mean, either way, it's exceedingly rare, but the odds of a young child being abducted is a good bit higher than the odds that they are struck by lightning.

Your link is talking about fatalities. Just as the number of fatalities from lightning is much less than occurrences, the same applies to kidnappings. The probabilities for the two things aren't that different.

>...But my point is that it's just logical to take precautions. Not leaving your kids unattended in public places and not leaving them out in thunderstorms... both strike me as reasonable advice. :)

Yea, the low number for lightning strikes is likely due to the fact that people do avoid going out in lightning. Also while it is reasonable to not leave kids unattended in public places, kidnappings of children have always been very rare and the extra paranoia people have about it today isn't helpful and as posters have pointed out, actually makes the world a more dangerous place.

There are a few principles that make email effective:

1. Make sure email is the best way to communicate. Email is great when you or the recipient need to reference the material later. Email is also good when you don't need an urgent response. Otherwise, a phone call, text message, or meeting in person might be better.

2. Only ask one question/topic in an email. Multiple questions rarely work well in an email. If you must ask more than one question, you should probably send one email about the most important question and then follow up with a second question once you get a reply. If you ask too many questions in one email, the recipient may get overwhelmed and not respond.

3. Have a clear call to action at the end of the email. It could be a final question that asks for the recipient's opinion. If you have no need for a reply, say "No reply needed." That will let the recipient know that you don't expect a response.

I wrote more about how to write effective emails on my website with 2 sample emails for common workplace situations: https://www.climbuptheladder.com/getting-the-most-out-of-ema...
Not every day; at the time of publishing, and maybe few days later. (This could be improved even further: you don't need to access every article. If you could identify a page that's representative of a real article, that could suffice. Maybe have periodic random checks to see if this is still representative.)

Not every city; the top 500 cities would probably cover 90+% of the users.

You're not understanding the scale of Google. They're incredibly good at exactly this stuff.
If it doesn't cost them any actual ongoing money then I think most people simply don't care. Same reason people find advertising annoying, but don't really care on any deeper level, it doesn't cost them anything tangibly.
Yes. At the time every single British media outlet including the Guardian, the Independent and the BBC were attacking and undermining Corbyn on a daily basis.

Which one of them would you share your secrets with?

Contrast that with the Washington Post, which would wet its collective pants if you found anything on Trump, no matter how minor, and would probably offer a large reward. The NYTimes clearly hates him too. You're spoiled for choice.

This statement is not acknowledging our concerns' validity, but brushing them aside with the tired old "nothing to hide" fallacy.

They are indeed interested in "the millions of devices of everyday citizens", because in their warped power-craving worldview, every one of those citizens could actually be a "sleeper threat" committing precrime. If they really are not interested, then why are they continuing to saber-rattle for criminalizing those millions' activities?
The article above talks about how many of the author's friends had no idea that the event happened to her, even though it was one of the most important events of her life. I imagine it's similar for many people who've endured a tragedy of some sort. At some point you have to stop talking about it because it doesn't help and you think that no one wants to hear it. It doesn't change how much the event has affected the trajectory of your life.
Well, what do you think they care about then?
The advice is "Don't productionize your PhD" thesis," so I think it is in fact aimed at PhD students in the exact spirit you pointed out, not founders surveying the academic field.
> Exceedingly small numbers of civilians hold M-16s legally in the US.

M16s are only a part of the problem. AR15s and ordinary 9mm handguns can be had in Walmarts or "conveniently" bought without any background checks/documentation on private sales.

I mean, I understand the appeal on having a 9mm at home for self defense, and a hunting rifle for, well, hunting - but having AR15 or worse for everyone at a supermarket? And then the ability to sell 'em on without any record of the transferral? I don't get the US on gun rights sometimes.

> since you don't need to replace components

I think the fact that you have to manually add a component for connection by soldering, even if you can remove it later, makes that point somewhat moot.

Let's look at it from another point of view. The combination of needed skills is rare, and if you had to pay someone to do this, it would likely cost to fix it is more than the cost of a new device (since they would have to research how to fix and apply that knowledge. If there was an existing market you could easily tap it may be cheaper). If the cost to fix is more than the cost to replace, it's a brick.
Yep, all the points are the truth. I've got some of those mistakes in the past especially VC funding, and it's really painful. Staying small is not a big lose or something, actually you can earn 10x more money by staying small than burning billions and keep working crazy hours. For example you can look on what's up for the price of 19 instagrams they had around 30 employees. They were small and output was way bigger than in general VC - funded company.

>I mean, we have attempted (at least in part) to create a system where acting selfishly in pursuit of money forces you to create value for society. That's literally the intent of the idea of capitalism.

No that's completely false. Capitalism is the replacement (and logical continuation) of feudalism, after its collapse, as a system of social stratification. Saying that is trying to validate your thinking and ignoring the history of the matter.
