That's pretty much standard for all recruitment agencies in the USA and EU as they want to avoid being fined heavily.

I am not sure but in the UK employing some one without the legal right to work has no defence even if they had perfectly forged passports/documents.

The base language is not "racket". The base language is "#%kernel".

The langue "racket" is implemented in "racket/base" that is implemented in "pre-base" that is implemented in #%kernel. If you want to use `for` you must use "racket" or "racket/base" or "pre-base", because it isn't defined in #%kernel. If you want to use `match` you must use "racket" because it isn't defined in the other three languages.

The language "#%kernel" has a minimal syntaxes defined, so it's painful to use.
There is a difference between common myths and truths you have experienced directly, like the different personalities of animals you have dealt with.

And for the great majority of the knowledge you need to make decisions in your life, there either is no scientific proof, or learning it all it would take many lifetimes to learn.
Ok but you're still ignoring the basic fact that activists and even criminals in liberal democracies have legal and human rights.

In China, you have no guarantees and no recourse. Torture, forced confession and retaliation against your family are all on the table.

That's why no one worries about US activists the same way they do about Chinese ones.

I had thought politics and religion were controversial because they have to do with how you run your life. For example, if I own guns, and you propose banning them, then I imagine someone coming and taking my guns, and I can get mad.
As of December 2017, iOS had around 19.7% of China's mobile web browsing market. That is unexpectedly huge, is there a large enough middle class to support that many iPhones?

I didn't get that from the article at all.

I think this sentence in the last section of the article is the central point:

> Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi.

That Nazism is a product of cruelty, unhappiness, and insecurity.

Fascism is about dominance. About being a part of the group to which the other is subordinate. Which is something that appeals to people who are deeply bitter, delight in suffering (of their own or others), or lack a sense of self-identity.
not being in a zero sum environment doesn't mean that people aren't going to look at the price. When big manufacturers can scale up output I don't see how Tesla is going to justify their price.

And that isn't even taking into account that Tesla is burning through crazy amounts of cash already.

This happened months ago. Old news.
I'm talking about teachers with master's degrees and MD doctors, which means many years of education. We've made it standard to have access to these people (unless you have a scratch???) but it's not a panacea. Just got word that my father is seeing the same doctor that has fucked up his care multiple times, not out of creativity or being too smart but because of not guessing the simplest and most common explanation of common symptoms. I'm very angry, but can't convince my father to move out of the home & town I grew up in so he doesn't have to deal with this incompetence.

If you live in a town where smart and educated people like to live, you get the cream of the crop of doctors. It's very different from living in a backwater where ambitious young people aspire not to live. And most of the world lives in backwaters, with unexceptional doctors who make simple but deadly mistakes when they go off script.
There are many foreigners who live in China that are concerned about this. However, it is easy to get out of it just by setting your app store home to a country other than China.

Predictably slow is still slow. You could parallelize it over multiple GPUs, but GPUs are expensive, so nobody is going to do that. Requiring lots of training resources is fine, but inference needs to be cheap.

More problematic is that your approach isn't going to actually work, since CNNs are just too flexible (they can learn even completely random labels) and only generalize by accident. No input augmentation technique that doesn't cover every possible modification is going to be robust against adversarial examples, and getting that amount of coverage requires an exponential blowup in runtime. The adversary has the advantage of being able to choose one modification, while the model needs to defend against all of them.

China, India and Pakistan have fought wars recently.
Fourth paragraph: "Sometimes I think there are direct biological factors at work—a type of education, feeding, and physical training which has produced a new kind of human being with an imbalance in his nature."

She's ascribing an inclination to Nazism to feeding and physical training. There is no charitable interpretation.

Added [I'm blocked from responding]:

Near the end: "L is the strongest natural-born Nazi in this room... He has the brains of Neanderthal man, but he has an infallible instinct for power."

She constantly ascribes adherence or willingness to adhere to Nazism to a biological cause -- being born, one's feeding, a physical training, Neanderthal man, or instinct.

This is not how to understand Nazism, or its causes; nor is it how to fight it.
Don't generalize that Indians are stealing your jobs. Google has 1000+ eng roles open at this time - if Americans are qualified, then they can totally get all of them. The fact of the matter is that America does have talent shortage for high end tech roles. Also, this misconception that Indians are paid less for high end roles is purely that - if you are able to crack Google eng role, you will get paid $200k+ or more depending on your level.

Note that I am making a distinction between Google eng roles and those tech roles which Infosys and TCS hire for. For the latter the play is cost arbitrage such as replacing Disney engineers with Indian eng who can do the same work for lower cost.

However, I want you to be aware of the real talent shortage which is present there on the high end tech side.
Yes, it's supposed to, they're "wind noises", check the audio tab of the shaders.

If you stick a "vol = 0.;" before the final line of the shader (that says "return Wind(time.05) vol;") it should be silent.
Haskell: Announcing the first class records library (2015)
Ask HN: Can an interpreted-only language be implemented in a JITted one?
To illustrate my question, J is a language that is, to the best of my knowledge, only interpreted since parsing it requires runtime information (http://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/parsing_and_execution_ii.htm).

Given that we now have languages that combine a JIT with metaprogramming abilities such as Racket or Scheme, would it be possible to implement an interpreter-only language such as J as a set of macros to compile to the host language without compromising the original language behaviour?

I am asking this because, as I understand it, a JIT blurs the "compile-time vs runtime" frontier.
> How many of the above countries were destroyed in imperialism, world wars and subsequent American wars?

Subsequant American wars - you're referring to how the US saved South Korea from being destroyed by the Communist north and equally impoverished? And how the US attempted to prevent a similar outcome for South Vietnam, as the North sought conquest of the South?

Or maybe you're talking about how the US helped save China from the Empire of Japan, and then saved it again from being nuked by the USSR in 1969? And then developed it with trillions of dollars in capital, and helped to open up and liberalize their trade through political discourse.

> Look at China and India today. By not getting involved in any wars

Be sure to let Tibet know that China hasn't gotten involved in any wars, and Vietnam too. And let Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia all know how peaceful China is, as China annexes territory from them the size of Texas through military force. Taiwan of course has lived under decades of constant military threats from China, with China intent on annexing that nation entirely against its will. It'd be like if the US spent the last 60 years threatening to invade and annex Canada.

China's protracted development backwardness in the late 20th century was caused by Mao's Communist policies. As those were abandoned and the Communist party liberalized its economic policies toward market systems and property ownership, China began to rapidly develop perfectly in line with that.

> In the last two decades, we observe rapid rise in Asian countries and rapid decline in America

That of course is not in fact demonstrated by the extraordinarily low economic development of the majority of Asia. Japan for one hasn't seen its economy net expand in 25 years; the US economy has nearly tripled in size in that time.

The US has not declined in the last 20 years. The US is the richest it has ever been in its history. It has one rival globally, in China. It remains the sole military superpower. The USD remains by far the global reserve currency. Its median net wealth is higher than Sweden and Germany. Its median income is among the highest on earth, as is its median disposable income figure. Its average individual net wealth level is #2 or #3 on earth. Its economy has outpaced nearly all other developed economies, including in wage growth. It has separately outgrown Europe, Africa, Latin America, India and Japan over the last 20 years.

In just the last 10 years, the US has added $4.5 trillion to its GDP. Now compare that to growth in Asia outside of China. That growth is equal to two economies the size of India.
Awesome.

And yeah, I think there's a big element of fear to it--fear of losing what is, right now, a pretty sweet deal for a lot of technical folks. That fear isn't entirely misplaced, anyway; individually, any of us could get fired for almost anything at almost any time. And there's a long and storied history of firing folks when they even whisper about organizing.

So I don't think the fear of organizing is irrational--but it is a fear that, I think, should be overcome, because the benefits are, of course, huge.

I dunno, I don't think it's all fear, I just think that's a much larger underlying force than people really want to recognize. If the risk were minimal, why wouldn't people be lining up to do this stuff?

OH, and FYI I am all in on addressing CEO/worker pay disparity. And, while we're at it, on how low-paid workers (janitors, call center stuff, etc.) get outsourced to another corp, etc.

Those are just problems that, I think, would need to be addressed directly through the political system, and not one that workers can take on in an organizing campaign of their own. They're all part of this constellation of "the American worker is getting screwed" but I feel like I gotta pick my battles, at least when I'm posting on the internet.

As opposed to the really high caste's not having that in spades in some cases.

First paragraph: "I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, ..." [emphasis added]
The US spends double the OECD average on tertiary education (university, etc), but we're just somewhat above average in spending on primary and secondary education [1].

In the US at least, you can't read too much into the averages, because there are so many additional factors that vary by state and between cities. Some states spend far more per pupil than others, although different states can have very different cost-of-living, so comparing absolute numbers in that case doesn't make much sense.

Even within a state, different areas have very different cost of living, and very different hyper-local conditions like concentrations wealth or poverty, that have a big affect on how far each dollar spent goes.

Interolance gets vetted out with prosperity but it's not necessarily the requirement to achieving it as history has shown (...) the bit claiming that societies are destroyed by intolerance

Open a US corporation that you invoice under so you are tax compliant. American money laundering restriction processes are onerous and add all manner of hassles to US companies paying foreigners. All the usual deductions have to be held back and remitted in strange ways that most are not familiar with.
This means the company registers with the IRS and gets it's compliance account then pays you and you get aware of all these deductions, and pay them. There is a tax treaty so you are only taxed once.
Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never... become school shooters, or terrorists, etc. At some level, people want to be winning at life: if they are, they're invested in the current system. If they aren't, they may seek change (or at least immerse themselves in some subculture).

I do my best to avoid believing in anything. That is, I have working hypotheses, more or less well-tested, but always open to revision based on new data. I do have principles and values that are essentially freely chosen. But even those are subject to revision. I strive for what works.

That approach rather precludes religion. Because most religions are explicitly untestable.

It's amazing reading comments that sound like they are about Trump, but are actually written about Obama.
I get what the author is getting at. Not sure I agree. Many years ago, I read "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland", which analyzes interviews with the actual men performing the slaughter of innocents at the end of the war.

The conclusion that book drew was different than this article, and makes more sense to me — that it's not "mean people 'go nazi'", but ordinary people who 'go nazi', given a system which relieves them of responsibility for their actions. "Just following orders" was the typical & honest answer, if I recall. The men didn't feel they bore a moral duty to disobey, because these things just had to be done, or so they were told.

So, if I can riff a bit on the article's themes... maybe mean people will hand you the gun, but anyone will pull the trigger, if they're told to do so.
I would just stock up on USA iTune gift cards when I lacked a US credit card. Its not hard really, the real problem are Chinese apps that you might need for your day to day life (e.g. the dedicated Didi dache app if you didn't want to go native and use WeChat). Even then, Apple seems to let you change your app store easily, you can even have apps from both the US and Chinese app stores on your phone (or at least, that was true a couple of years ago).
Very end of the article:

[The call with the pilot of Southwest 4712 was by far the most interesting. He immediately notes how strange the encounter was and how he has never seen an incident like it in nearly 30 years of flying jets. The pilot noted, "if it was like a Lear (private jet) type airframe I probably would not have seen it this clear. This was a white airplane and it was big. And it was moving at a clip too, because we were keeping pace with it, it was probably moving faster than we were... It was a larger aircraft yeah."]

What's most interesting is how many people we're involved and of course... Someone is apparently flying some really advanced aircraft over the U.S.
The alternative? How about not artificially restricting the number of doctors in the system so the ones in it don't play musical chairs and ones aspiring to don't do 28-hour shifts?

It's obvious that she's talking about upbringing rather than genetics, despite the word choice. You're being way too literal.
"[…] it turns out that being a Nazi, does not save you from the Nazis."

That depended on your level of devotion, I suppose. See e.g. Emil Maurice, he was a Jew and a founding member of the Schutzstaffel (SS member #2).

"Hitler compelled Himmler to make an exception for Maurice and his brothers, who were informally declared 'Honorary Aryans' and allowed to stay in the SS."

In what sense does string theory predict any aspect of Lorentzian symmetry?
You're correct, though its Apple's MO to supply security in an intuitive manner. IF you tout all these parts of your platform as secure and have one insecure piece that interfaces with it then it isnt a secure platform. The onus should be on Apple to secure iCloud. To their credit, I think they know that and will be. Those who are knowledgeable and care about security will continue to stay ahead of those who aren't, but Apple is making the division smaller.

What is his suggestion, though, exactly? For a waiter to not consider 'being a waiter' as part of his identity? If we're talking about reality, that strikes me as a fairly unrealistic ask, especially if it's all the waiter does.

And I can only really speak from my personal experience. Having a diverse range of interests has given me a protective barrier that I didn't have when I was younger. When I was a teenager, for example, I didn't really have any skills except for "being good with computers". If someone (usually an older person) ever disparaged that, it destroyed me. I'd stew in anger and want to retaliate -- I can still remember. As I grew up, I diversified my interests. I got good at other things, too. Computers are now only a piece of my identity instead of the whole, and it's made me a lot less insecure.
Interesting, thanks for the link. I tried a few published methods for doing this a year or so and I found they were quite slow.

(Planet employee here) Planet imaging happens in the late morning, because that's when we tend to get clearer atmosphere, relatively short shadows, but minimal specular-like reflection of sunlight. This event happened in early evening (I think the aircraft was first spotted on radar around 4.30 PM) so we won't have any imagery of it. We'd have more luck if we could guess at a location it would be in the morning, and we had reason to believe it was parked out in the open.

Any guesses? Does anyone want to dig into something like flightradar24 records and see if something took off with a transponder then disappeared that day?
