Just playing devil's advocate here, but with the numbers given in the essay (10 out of 250 male entries tagged for deletion vs 2 out of 12 female entries) I got a p-value of approximately 10% [1]. By most criteria this wouldn't qualify as statistically significant. This doesn't immediately disqualify the entire essay, but the claim that women are 'over four times more likely to be deleted' is somewhat dubious.

Even if no app can replace a critiquing and guiding human teacher entirely, it could try.

Do many apps try that? Maybe it's a huge opportunity.
The risky.biz podcast proposed a solution, half seriously and half in jest, offer 50 million for the bug bounty. It would destroy the working relationships and trust of the group of people that is required to come up with multi stage exploits, and apple has the cash to do that once or twice.
This happens if you just breed pure breds blindly and pay no attention to the underlying genes.

We could do the same with humans, if two people want to have a child but have high risk genes, it would be cruel and irresponsible to conceive a child, perhaps even criminal. No child should have to endure a lifetime of suffering with a bad quality of life under a crippling genetic disease because of their parents ignorance or apathy.

But of course, we have Anti-Vaxxers and whatnot in this world so maybe some people will just do it on purpose anyway because it’s “the natural way”. Sickening.
That's why we haven't levels too many sanctions against Russia.

Coming to FP very late in my career, I've never read this. I've skimmed about half of it and it looks really nice. Unless I'm mistaken, it appears that the entire book provides examples in pseudo-code which is pretty interesting. I like their concept of specifications and the definition of strictness is really nice. I'm looking forward to getting a bit of time to read it more fully.

I'm pretty sure they're banning the letter N because it was the 14th "proclamation" in the recent posting about constitutional changes by Xinhua news. They tried to bury it under a set of 20~ changes and disguise the wording. First, 14 was banned on weibo. Then, N was banned as people quickly jumped to the 14th letter of the English alphabet.

Weibo also has a history of doing stuff like this, Tiananmen Square is sometimes referred to as May 35th, so they like to play with numbers and their meanings.
I heard her approach to Brexit described as incompetently executed realpolitik. I think that's an accurate assessment. I don't think the actual outcome matters much to her at all - just staying in power. Also she's getting played. Hence dithering.
Presumably guelo thinks Guantanamo permits the US to do things that would be illegal here. But breaking an iPhone pursuant to a warrant wouldn’t be. Having a warrant (or a suspect in custody) permits the government, by design, to do lots of things that would otherwise be illegal. The government doesn’t need to ship safes to Israel to avoid violating safe cracking laws when searching pursuant to a warrant.
Not many expenses, though.
Why go to China for examples? That's how we do it in the USA, too.
I totally agree. Unfortunately this issue isn't this simple for a lot of people. Many feel that they ra trapped in the non-creative body and there's nothing they can do about it.
My background: Worked many years in offices, and the last ~4 years remote.

Understand that companies hiring remote developers, especially for the first time, might not be aware of things they need to do for success. These include:

(1) The manager needs to be above-standard.

(2) They need to be ready to treat communications challenges as first-order, high-priority problems.

(3) They need someone onsite who will advocate for you, particularly w.r.t. challenges that are specific to you working remotely.

(4) They need to understand the challenges posed by distributed teams, particularly if the team isn't entirely remote.

As far as what you can do, I'd suggest:

(1) Learn everything you can about the challenges of being a remote employee.

(2) Address those challenges as best you can at your end.

(3) Be ready to educate your employer about those challenges as well.

(4) Recognize that the employer just might be incapable of properly handling a remote employee. I'd suggest screening employers carefully if possible, and be prepared to move on to another job if they're not able to do what they need to do to make remote work.

Webinar: 12-factor in RoR development
If you're referring to the "Amazon drop-ship" business, I think that space is probably already overcrowded. Those who got in and figured it out - and got a head start, probably still have an advantage. But you must realize that Amazon can, at their whim, change anything at any moment and kill that business.

Plus you have unscrupulous competitors who will throw a little money in to buy a bunch of your products as soon as they appear (if your products compete with theirs), and then leave negative reviews. I suspect that eventually the only way to be a winner is to be a cheater. Surely you don't do that.
So we shouldn't ask the question?
Ferrets stoats, and weasels were introduced to hunt rabbits in New Zealand.

The only problem though was that they found it a lot easier to go after native birds and largely ignored rabbits as a consequence. I did see a weasel chasing after a rabbit once though.

They apparently considered introducing mountain lions to keep deer and goat numbers down in the 40's. Thank the gods someone stopped and though about how much of a bad idea that would be.
You could go into the black hole yourself but you'd need to communicate the results of your experiment by twitching the second hand on your daughter's watch who, conveniently, works for NASA.
There's a German startup doing inventory projections for bakeries. Team of two data scientists, they just got funding. Basically bakeries already collect data on unsold products, lots seasonal, on paper. The startup tries to predict future sales on a per-branch level if I understand correctly.
No. Propose an experiment to be done?
But it's much cheaper than in-person lessons.

International Auto Club (IAC) ICO Review: Is It Legit? – iCoin Blog
There's probably a flaw in paying people (MTurks) to choose pricing plans for something they don't really care about. Real consumers might act differently.
I remember when I was in College ( That is High School in US ), we were allowed to order some parts from Maplin and soldering things together in Electronics Club. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to make, silly little LED here and there, with speakers, switches etc. We were allow to figure it out ourself. And I would stare at the huge Maplin catalogues. Till this day I still think it is much better experience having the catalogues rather then going online. As long as the items within catalogues aren't updated very often, may be i am just old fashioned.

I wanted to do computer programming with these input and output, switches and LED, but I.T or Programming wasn't really a thing in the UK education system at the time, so electronics and programming were separate subject. When I went to university I finally get to write and make a Security / Measuring System, using components I bought from Maplin with full menu. I still remember getting simple signals on/off from parallel or serial port was the easy and fun part. Getting the system results shown in a web page, constantly updating was 10 times harder.

Nowadays things are millions times more abstracted and in some way complex. I am not sure if we can do that with USB pins anymore. But thinking back it was a lot of fun.

Sad to see Maplin go.
Gravitational waves are evidence, two extremely large objects merged, not that a black hole was formed.

EDIT: If our instruments were precise enough and we could remove the noise, we could theoretically detect gravitational waves of two Sun sized stars merging (2 solar masses shouldn't form a star capable of becoming black hole).
Then why not just list the profit?

Typically when I see revenues posted it means the profit must only be a fraction of that amount.
It's probably worth noting here that according to the page this link is from, there's a newer 2015 edition available of this book.

I regularly see people complain about this without mentioning how they would solve this problem.
serious question: the accretion disk lies flat in the same plane as the earth... so how do we get an image showing the black hole "top-down" ? do they take a guess at what the far side must look like, then rotate the perspective ?

either way, how is this new imagery any less synthesized than the old imagery ?
The books are excellent, I agree. And from reviews I've ready, it does seem to diverge greatly. But they don't claim it's a CGI nightmare, and none of this means that the movie doesn't stand alone as a excellent bit of Sci-Fi.

It's a lot more complicated than this and a lot of your assumptions are not true. So far as our universe is concerned, the inside of a black hole literally doesn't exist and events in there literally don't happen. Once you get inside, spacetime is warped so severely that a lot of our fundamental assumptions about how space and time work change. It's not reasonable to assume that normal processes observed outside of the event horizon are still happening inside (plus, black holes form from supernovas, which happen precisely because fusion ceased in the star (simplified explanation)).
It is already happening.
In France some website are already censored and send you to a website of the Interior affairs Minister.

Some are also "shadow-banned" (the default DNS of the ISP return nothing), like the pirate bay (but I think it depends on your ISP).

>whale and community

The trouble with the current way "influence" or money is distributed in STEEM blockchain is that, 2 - 3 whale accounts has more influence and means to influence the entire community even if the entire community stands together.

Though I am hopeful that this will be addressed by the EOS's community project.
This is a very convincing explanation and most likely the correct reason.
Huh, I am an idiot.

I've confused this software with something else, or misread the feature set.

I visited the site and forums just yesterday. Taking another look now it's obvious Seafile should do what I want.

Clearly a case of looking at too many things in one go and screwing up.

Thanks for making me take a second look.
You are correct. My estimation is off quite a bit. More like 1.5-2g for 5 bowls.
I agree that a teacher is invaluable, but for training your muscle memory (and sheet reading, if one does not already), apps can be a good-enough substitute: Instant feedback for almost free, visual aids that even a teacher could not provide, 24/7 availability.

Of course, some physical basics (like posture for piano, breathing for wind instruments) are ideally established correctly right from the start and that's where even a few hours spent on professional help will pay off.

Things I paid a teacher for (flute) that could have been easily checked by an app:

* tone: the right one? does it come out clean?

* pace: am I keeping the pace correctly? (a metronome does not flash red when I am out of sync, the 11 year old me could ignore it really well..)

* loudness

And last but not least: Apps work everywhere, lessons with teachers are hard to get in some places. When my parents decided we move, I had the choice between a 2h commute for a 45 minute lesson or to wait about 1.5 years for a place with a local teacher (despite having given solo concerts already). I stopped playing and regret it to this day.
I wonder if Bazel takes off across many languages. It wouldn't hurt to have a modern autotools & co. replacement across ecosystems. I don't think it's doable, considering the fact that we have language specific package managers and build tools, but you never know.

By "replacement", I mean picking up a random open source project and being able to do the equivalent of:

./configure

make

make install

To be able to build and run the app directly from sources, when needed.

Right now, it's a mess, the "replacement" is:

Visual Code Studio JavaScript Turbo Console Log
Hello,

We all know as JS developers that debugging is a painful process. One simple way to unblock a certain situation is to write meaningful log messages, so that we can locate the problem and fix it.

The problem with writing log messages manually is that they take so much time and effort.

So why not just automate this process ?

I'm glad to announce Turbo Console Log extension which aims to fix this particular problem. All it takes to insert a log message is to select the variable that is subject of the debugging and press ctrl + shift + l or cmd + shift + l so that a log message will be inserted in the next line.

The log message has the following format:

console.log(VariableEnclosingClassName -> VariableEnclosingFunctionName -> Variable, Variable);

Link of the extension in the store: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ChakrounAnas.turbo-console-log

Thanks.

Same. I LOVED Byte back in the late 80s and early 90s. I also read PC Magazine, but Byte was so much better.

You mention it, but I want to harp on it -

There is a huge, huge difference between being a remote employee on a mostly colocated team, and a fully distributed team.

I would NOT take a job that had me be remote to a colocated team, unless you have experience doing that, and the team in question has experience with remote members already.

Transitioning from an onsite to a remote role on the same team is different, as you already have carved out what expectations you have with your team, and going remote doesn't change those. But starting out like that makes it so only -you- have the communication difficulties. That conversation that changed all the priorities this sprint that happened in a hallway? You missed it. No one thought to tell you. Etc. That sort of thing -happens-, and it's very hard to solve.

A fully remote team, however, hard as it may be, at least doesn't suffer from that. Everyone -has- to be cognizant of who is involved in a conversation; every conversation requires a bit of effort, be it on Slack, email, the phone, video conferencing, etc. That little extra effort that is required for any conversation ensures all the relevant parties get looped in (unlike a conversation at someone's desk or in the hallway).

That's huge.

So, if you haven't worked remotely before, look for a fully remote team, or look to transition from a colocated job to a remote one. I would seriously consider staying clear of being a remote employee on a colocated team.
Or, from the opposite side, the phone makers' failure to meaningfully innovate is not a problem for me, as their older models provide enough value.
get over it? it isn't their job to 1. have encyclopedic knowledge of a small and belligerent country and then 2. enforce others to the same standard. no country gets that treatment here.
The problem is that it is not obvious why the generalisation mus be that the host opens n-2 doors. Many people view it as the host opening just one door, and doing so also in the 1e9 case.

What complicates things is that these people are right, too. The generalisation of the problem does not fix the number of doors opened by the host. It could be that the host opens just one door. Or 5e8 doors, splitting the set in the middle. Or any other number in between. In fact, the number of doors opened by the host could be decided by dice before each round starts.

So now the person you talk to goes, "I'm still not convinced, but let's say for the sake of the argument that switching is good in the situation you mention. Now tell me why it is better to switch in all other cases."

You're ending up in formal proof country a lot faster than you'd want for an intuitive explanation.

(Odd observation: if k is the number of doors opened by the host, I find any case where n=2k+1 a lot harder to explain than when k=1 and n is some large number. Maybe that can give some insight into why it's a tough problem.)

"Hole" is accurate. The "object" with enormous mass would be the singularity, whereas "black hole" refers to the nature of spacetime near the singularity, for which "hole" is an apt name from our reference frame. Also, we don't talk about "spitting things out of the black hole".
> So we shouldn't ask the question?
