Your question is constructed in just such a way as to make your point for you. Hopefully you’ll see that it’s far too specific of a demand as to truly support your position. Would you provide me with a less specifically bounded question that you think still captures your position on this?

There is some indications that organisms have ways of controlling evolution to some extent. Certainly, organisms have ways of increasing or decreasing how many mutations they accrue depending on environmental signals.
"It would be cheaper to build through Iraq than destabilize an entire country."

Except that at the time, Iraq was itself a highly unstable conflict zone. Building a pipeline in those conditions was not viable, and probably still isn't.

Late last year I started getting up at 5:05, driving to the gym while listening to scripture, swimming, showering, driving back, and then starting coffee for the wife, breakfast for the family, and lunches for the kids. The exercise and alone time really feel like they slow time down and let me get a lot more done for the rest of the day. But it is hard to get up that early.

Not trying to be flippant, but by extending your analogy: if the Kubernetes supervisor dies (which is conceivable, no technology is infallible), then you are in the same scenario as something bringing your whole Elixir VM down. You can always run your Elixir VM using something like supervisord if you need another watchdog.

BTW, it's very hard to bring BEAM down. Most exceptions will bring kill the faulty process, but leave the supervisor tree untouched. Only "unmanaged" code (for example, calling a C library using a NIF) might crash the whole VM.

Then again, no technology is infallible.

The metric that Netflix uses is subscriber count, and all indications is that the subscriber count is not growing at a pace that explains the PE ratio. In fact the growth is declining as evidenced by their guidance for the quarter.

That they can pay hourlies (as well as the highlighted managers) well above industry average and still manage to make a profit undercuts the argument that companies in the service industry need _cheap_ labor to survive.

It's the companies who want to milk dry the American worker who cry wolf at the thought of having to pay Americans a decent wage. There are millions of people who have left the labor force because their wages have been undercut.

I think there is a significant pool of willing workers willing to work for the right wages --they may need some assistance in getting back to being productive workers, but I think industry owes them that after decades of neoliberal policies outsourcing and shipping jobs overseas.
Doubtful. Comcast only need a small number of states without these rules to make create a miserable user-experience for Netflix/Youtube and then word of mouth will do the rest. After that, whatever sums Comcast have to pay their lawyers will pale in comparison to whatever they can extort from the Netflix/Google.
I'm a big fan of this concept: an essential element to resilience is to have a strong support structure, ideally friends, or people who are going through a similar thing.

In that vein - shameless plug:

I've been working on a service (www.campfire.care) to build peer support groups for any focus. Groups of 5-10 people with the same issue meet regularly via video and stay connected via chat.

The idea is that we are fundamentally social creatures, and struggling with a challenge alone is unhealthy. Peer support can be really effective + inexpensive, an is a largely untapped resource

Seymour Hersh has written a phenomenal amount about Syria. Here are a couple of interesting articles:

https://www.lrb.co.uk/v36/n08/seymour-m-hersh/the-red-line-a...

https://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n01/seymour-m-hersh/military-to-mi...

Stratfor, something like a private intelligence organization - well beyond a think tank, also has written a vast amount on Syria to the point that I think just googling for 'strator syria' would be more productive than me listing a slew of articles. In general I find news that's from first party analysts tends to be vastly more informative than the filtered drivel that you end up getting from most US news sites.

As an aside, I am not suggesting that that the above directly support OP's hypothesis. What it does support is the fact that what's stated in most US mainstream outlets is a childlike misrepresentation of the war over there framing it as the 'good guys' (which is naturally us) are trying to take out a pure evil 'bad guy.' I'm not sure if that's propaganda or just something that gets clicks. In either case, it's false. The interactions are complex, motivations rarely benevolent, and the whole thing an entire mess in general.

Ultimately the reason I stopped reading about Syria is because I think it's futile to try to 'truly' understand what's happening. We'll only be able to begin to actually dig into the truth 50 or so years from now when the documentation around the war is declassified.
1. Okay so print out a bunch for your locality

2. How much validation of signature is there? Do other police officers memorize each others signatures? That seems unlikely

3. I'm sure it'd be pretty easy to get a list of a large number of police officers for any given locality.
So, how can be US propaganda from NYT any better? I understand that for people living in the US it's easier to believe in because it always says: "We bomb half of the world and spy on all the world just because we want to give everybody democracy and happy life". But that doesn't make it objective and true.

I hate the idea of vendor lock-in, but years now of reaping the benefits has convinced me that it's just better to accept the lock-in and take advantage of your chosen platform's features. Remaining platform agnostic is difficult, complicates your code, and forces you to miss out on great services. these days I pick a provider and stick with them. It used to be AWS, but Google has been getting really good. I've been using Google cloud a lot.

No, that isn't how it works at all. You would broadcast a transaction to your friend for $20. It would sit in the mempool and eventually get picked up by miner and would then be forever logged in the blockchain.
Good point. Not to mention that it can switch back and forth as the political winds change, making it hard to keep any lucrative deals going for very long.

If the question is historical, it is because Python is easy to learn, easy to read, interfacing with C/C++ is easy to get existing ML/DS code, and it was one of the first scripting languages to handle huge numbers which is important in science.

If the question is about now, Python has lots of libraries to help in addition to the previously mentioned reasons. However Java still has better library support for NLP overall such as OpenNLP, Stanford CoreNLP, etc. NLP in Python is catching up though thanks to gensim, spacy, etc.

BCH for small transactions with 0-conf is not slow as hell. When you require confirmations a system like Bitcoin has a quite random time between blocks, but 10 minutes on average.

IOTA has an absolutely unprofessional development team, doing things like saying critical security vulnerabilities are there on purpose so they can point it out when someone forks or saying that the network being unusable due to a DOS attack is fine because they can use it for testing. Don't forget the time they turned off the network for 2 days without any prior notice (yes, they can do that). I'm all for new technology, but Bitcoin is 9 year old proven technology at this point, while IOTA and RaiBlocks are both new and unproven. Let them mature a bit before suggesting people rely on them. Would be quite bad if someone turned off IOTA when you need your money, wouldn't it?

I started a X business that only sells widget Y for bitcoins. You shuffle all the coins through intermediary wallets that use small payments. The current transaction fee is $20 but regardless of what it is you just scale how much you transfer based on that. Also, if you set up many dummy coinbase accounts, you can use GDAX to exchange it for fiat without fees so you really just need to funnel it into a lot of coinbase accounts that then progressively funnel it to you over time. You can set up a lot of coinbase accounts in a week if you task 50 employees for a week. The rest can probably be automated if you cared enough.
But it's a big deal to say, "Whenever safety matters, you alwys have room for a runtime with a garbage collector." I feel like you hven't substatiated that claim.
Netflix doesn't even own a studio, they pay others to produce their content.

They don't syndicate their shows, they don't sell much merchandise, and they don't sell their "prediction models" or user data.

Don't get me wrong, Netflix does a lot of things right but the way they manage their entertainment divisions is extremely odd. We have over a 100 years of lessons from Hollywood and paying others to produce your content will always be more expensive than making your own.
VergeSense (YC S17) Is Hiring Systems Test Engineers in SF
That's not quite true, almost any respectable math program is gonna include a significant amount of material on finite set theory and discrete algebra (though maybe not in the non math major escalator, that usually stops at differential equations). That said, I think there is definitely a place for a "discrete math" course, which focuses on teaching things in a more computer science relevant manner.

I also think numerical analysis is a much better choice than real analysis for CS majors, but that's a different topic...

I agree with most of what you say. We know of no "better way". Nature is infinitely more intelligent. If Nature wanted us to not know or do something, we would not have been able to. Our ability to edit genes is a result of Nature's willingness to let us experiment. We still have very little understanding of what genes are or how Nature edits them for evolutionary purposes.

One thing that I know is that ethics have no meaning in Nature's eyes.
We really should up the place of Chinese in our school systems as well. Especially with Brexit in mind. There is really no reason for it to be native > English > German/French > Chinese anymore.

> Website disappeared and app is now dead. No way to control Lights. I hold you accountable

Are we sure this is not a joke? So customers can't turn on their lights anymore because the company went bankrupt.

That just reads like something straight out of the Onion. "Carpenter buys hammer. But then hammer making company goes out of business. So now the carpenter can't use the hammer anymore".

> We are unable to fulfill any more pre-orders at this time, but are still working on finding a solution that could make that possible.

So they are working hard to find a way for customers to get their orders of lights ... which can't be turned on because the servers have all been shut down. Why would anyone want those products at this point?

I asked you to provide an example of the situation you described. I was as specific as you were.

I will try to be more straightforward.

You've stated that Linus has a unique role, and that he has to be this way or he'll lose the kernel/ essentially be worse at his job.

You've provided no examples or evidence (and I asked).

In your opinion, Linus must be this way, it is "just required" by his unique position. We have this totally unknowable position that you, for no apparent reason, assume is best suited to people who insult others publicly. And because this position is unique we can't compare him to others, by nature of the position.

You have essentially placed Linus in a position where you could basically justify anything. "Oh, well, it's a very unique role - you just have to be xyz for this sort of work".

The thing is, Linus's position may be unique, but it has a lot in common with lots of positions we have a good handle on. There are lots of open source leaders out there, lots of people who manage codebases, write code, etc. Maybe not exactly all of those things in exactly the same way, but we have plenty of similar positions.

I do not imagine a community so vehemently defending members of those positions who act like Linus. By your own admission this is a bad model for others in the same exact industry with similar roles - you even say they should be fired for acting the way he does.

So I guess my question is; what unique aspect of Linus's role makes him so different from everyone else with incredibly similar roles? What evidence is there that, against everything we know about positions like the one he fills, acting the way he does is the right way for his role?
For some reason, people are offended by gross misunderstandings. This framework is in Python, but it’s a Python binding that sets up code that runs natively (not even sure the details myself; others are writing CUDA). TensorFlow is the same way. It’s in Python, but the computations are not in Python. As you point out, that wouldn’t make sense.
That's another problem that doesn't need to exist. I never saw a fire hydrant until I arrived in the states, because the smart thing to do is put it under a hatch somewhere in the road.
They never really went away. A web remake of LORD, Legend of the Green Dragon (LoGD), has at least 4000 monthly active users currently: https://github.com/lotgd/census

That census also contains some of the more popular servers you might play LoGD on. However, even LoGD is getting a bit old and development stopped a few years ago. There are two modern forks being worked on that I am aware of. The first gets rid of backward compatibility and is more ambitious: https://github.com/lotgd/core

The second is backwards compatible and allows all the many modules developed for LoGD to be used: https://github.com/stephenKise/Legend-of-the-Green-Dragon
Usually you hear the “we need to pay our workers low wages” from companies that have very low margin unit economics. McDonald’s for example has a high number of cheap products. Same with Wal-Mart. They need a lot of people to service all the offerings they have. In-n-out has like 5 things on the menu, so they probably need far fewer employees overall. Costco is another example: they carry very few products compared to Walmart and thus need far fewer employees. Guess which companies offer their employees lots of benefits?
