First, it would certainly depend on as many sample variations we can find. Second, you are approaching tautological nonsense where patents and copyrights are nothing more than excuses for undeserved "outsized returns." Maybe that is true now or in countries with "first-to-file" patent regimes. There are no guarantees of ANY future outsized returns, no matter how much people might desire them. Low-margin might just equal "useful and fair."

Don't get too disparaged by this example. It depends a lot on the individual reviewer. Yes, that sucks, but it also means that in many cases it's not as hard as the in the quoted case.

Next on tonight's news: disability cheats, the millions of Americans who could work, but don't.

Yep, I'm a cynic.

Then, there's this:

"After declining in inflation-adjusted terms from 1998 to 2007, minimum wages rose almost 11% in real terms between 2007 and 2016, Abraham and Kearney estimated. Firms may have outsourced jobs or spent more on automation to offset the higher costs of low-skilled labor."

I was unaware there were many minimum wage jobs that could be outsourced or replaced. Most are in the service industries, right?

The same way they're trying to fix this problem with AMP: https://github.com/WICG/webpackage (see also: https://amphtml.wordpress.com/2018/01/09/improving-urls-for-...)

Even if you can't package up and ship all of your traditional site to Google's CDN, you could do most of the burdensome/heavy bits. But then Google doesn't get to control your website and define the way it's allowed to look, which is what AMP is really for.
Your loss. Monasteries and convents make some awesome foodstuffs, including great beer.
The thing is that a leader without labor experience is not a leader but an a*hole idiot boss, and not idiot because people don't like him. More like idiot in the traditional sense.

No, seriously. If you never went through producing anything, the trouble of actually making it happen, the difference between the nice university theory in contrast to the real life experience of working with people, too little time and resources, etc. The stuff you never learn in any school because no teacher has the experience either.

It's really hard to express, but you are completely unable to lead without productive experience, as in show the way forward, as in organize resources, as in understanding organizational problems.

The best laborers are what becomes the best leaders, if they learn to use their laboring skills to improve others' performance and make people work together in a similar direction.
It depends on the platform, and on ongoing developments in law, regulation, and third-party cooperation (one big way U.S. governments get around their own restrictions is by soliciting (often, paid) data from third parties not bound by such restrictions).

Anyway, they may well have this data. Some other data, more likely not.

And, even where they may have -- or have access to, this data, retention periods may be significantly shorter. At least, the retention periods that aren't shrouded in secrecy in e.g. a large campus in the middle of Utah.

Not email, but more and more social/communications platforms are offering to archive your data in your Google Drive account. Now, maybe with a privately held passphrase to AES encryption, some might consider that ok. But that is not what these services are offering.

For the majority of people, "Who cares?" And there is value to keeping your life free of unnecessary friction.

But, more and more of this stuff is getting supeonaed in divorce cases, employment disputes, etc., etc.

Though, I suppose if you maintain private access to the messages, and don't share them, you are still a candidate for contempt of court.

Anyway, I'm not interested in accumulating more of my social life into a data store that, here in the U.S., has less constraints against third-party (here, meaning particularly, government) access.
There's a bit of irony in your statement because people are attracted to motorcycles in some ways _because_ they're kinda like riding a horse.
> Willing to work at the salary that employers want to ideally pay? No.

I am not quite so sure my immigrant coworkers make noticeably less than I do, although I cannot really validate this claim either as I don't ask people who much they are paid.

> Employers see engineering as a cost sink and want to do everything possible to reduce budgetary pressures.

Yes and no. Employers see developers as a debt pool, because they are a cost factor unlike people in sales who actually generate revenue, but typically they see hiring, recruiting, and retention as even more expensive and riskier endeavors.

That drives all kinds of counter-intuitive behaviors regarding expenses and developers. Companies are typically willing to hire more developers than they need, because hiring is expensive and isn't always quick. Companies are also willing to prioritize slower more expensive technologies that require more developers so long as it means a reduction in recruitment and hiring risks.

I find that process horribly broken. Why is it so hard and deceptively untrustworthy to hire people generally in software? I don't believe it is the hiring process that is to blame, but rather the candidate pool in consideration for the required skills or experience.
That would be an actionable question, no?

> Friend's mother was recently in hospital, multiple doctors thru a single day, each one had to completely relearn what was going on.

What's the alternative? 24 hour shifts for the doctor and the new doctor each day needs to relearn everything?

Having to relearn everything might be a problem, depending on what it actually means, but as long as we want a normal human being as a doctor, they will cycle over time as people start and end shifts, and they will need to learn what happened before their shift started (and they may receive patients from multiple doctors leaving over their shift, making 1-on-1 hand-off infeasible).

It's easy to call this out as a problem, the question is what's the alternative that's better?

In the UK (not an insurance-based system), many GPs ("family doctors") will aim to take a BP reading if there is time. This is partly because there is a system called the Quality Outcome Framework that incentivises practices to do so, but the route of it is that those incentives are in place because high blood pressure is extremely common, under-diagnosed, and has huge health consequences if left untreated, which in turn is extremely expensive for a national health service. A BP check is quick, simple, and cheap, and can help to identify problems early on when simpler interventions can stave off bad outcomes.
I'm not nearly as successful as you but have similar frustrations with the US immigration system. I'm a co-founder of a company that has employed a couple dozen Americans for a few years now and decided to leave the US when it became clear there was basically no path for me to get a green card. Oh well.
High blood pressure has been a major problem in North America for decades. Its part of early screening.

I can promise you I am not experience anything remotely close to wage suppression or competition for employment. Perhaps this could be true for junior positions, but at the other end there are lots of opportunities available.

That being said if you honestly believe there is wage suppression then I recommend programming outside of office hours and getting as much practice as possible so that you can rise to a senior position where such problems are absent.

You don’t think it’s sad that people don’t travel more than an hour from a major city and experience the world around them?

I don’t think one needs to be more sad than the other. If people had experiences outside their narrow sliver of their daily lives they might be more tolerant of others who live different lives.

Everyone needs to characterize (not “calibrate”; that term is highly misleading) their display. The question is just whether you keep the characterization provided by the manufacturer, or measure the display yourself using a hardware device. Either way, the result is a display “profile”, which is basically a lookup table used by software to map color coordinates so that they will appear as expected on the display.

People using Macs certainly do care about ColorSync. That’s the name of the software which uses the display characterization to keep colors looking as expected throughout the operating system and most applications.
Perhaps he is the inventor of this knot in the same way I was the inventor of short division in grade school--I thought I had invented it since no one had taught it to me, but I had just rediscovered an existing technique. Since that was the way my dad learned how to tie his shoes from his father before Ian was born, I think the furthest one could say is Ian is _an_ inventor of this not, not _the_ inventor.

However, this website is really cool, and it does do a much better job of explaining than my frustrated attempts of "you just pull one loop through the other!"
Surprised this is getting any notice at all. I work at a facial recognition firm pioneering this technique 20 years ago. (www.CyberExtruder.com) The TLDR description by andreyk pretty much sums the process, as it originated long ago. It is very similar now, just with a team of very smart people iterating over the pipeline for so long has made it sophisticated to the point the TLDR description could be argued as too light.

I even made a 3D avatar API & service, now closed, from the technology 10 years ago. The twitter site is still around, if you want to see the quality of reconstruction possible: https://twitter.com/3DAvatarStore/media
Correct, they are paying essentially 0% interest in exchange for the policy risk.

My interest is that the policy risk according to Berkshire actions is less than 4% debt they could likely attain (or better). In other words - they are recommending investors not to use leverage, but in a sense they do use it against policy risk.

The trade off between debt and policy risk is interesting as both greatly increase returns by leverage.
Very naively, the following happens: Qubit A is entangled with Photon A. Qubit B is entangled with Photon B. Photon A and Photon B are measured together in way that does not permit distinguishing the two photons (this is where the magic happens) and destroyed. This results in Qubit A and Qubit B now being entangled.
I'm going to assume by that link you're saying this is a common rationalization of the Holocaust?

In addition to this, many doctors want to re-take the history from the patients and re-examine them for themselves, rather than rely on a brief handover or potentially sub-optimal notes from another doctor. Clinical signs can be subtle, as can points in a patient's history that may point to a diagnosis. I see patients often frustrated at being asked the same questions by each doctor they see, but most of the time this is in their best interest.

That's a common attitude in my country too whenever an immigrant complains about anything. "If you don't like it, go back to where you came from". But in fact they do want to be there while at the same time not liking some parts of it. Just like everyone really.

I think locals should follow the same advice. Don't like political lobbying, high house prices, the president, etc? Move to Canada. I personally moved to a country that suited me better. Americans are very reluctant to emigrate for some reason though.

I always find it interesting how some of the beliefs that form the core of our identity are actually ones we have investigated least rigorously (eg. political affiliation, religious denomination, etc.).

While the image is correct, your statement would be a bit misleading to novices:

You can not transfer the state of the qubit over a classical channel. You need both a classical channel and entanglement. Or in other words: a bit can be send over a classical communication channel (by copying it), but to transmit a qubit (which can not be copied due to its quantum nature), you either need to carry the physical qubit over, or use entanglement together with classical communication.

That's basically the reason why I've never joined any political party or any other group (as an identity). Labels restrict thinking, and you can get pulled into knee-jerk reactions even if you are conscious of how that works.

Changing identity has a high cost for the organism (social connections, access to institutions, cognitive dissonance, existential crisis), which is why I think some people have those knee-jerk reactions. It's evolution at work.

Thank you for the link. Reading the example on the creation of stacker.rkt (a toy reverse polish language) was dramatically more enlightening than the main article. As I understand, Racket = source-to-source interpreter with a lot of helpful shorthand for defining syntax of {insert language here} or arbitrary language you make on the spot. Do they already have libraries for major languages like c++, JS, python? Would be nice to write in a syntax I like (perl) and turn it into c++ that compiled.
