The strong implication of the original comment was that Apple was centrally collecting biometrics and would eventually sell it off or leak it.

The biometrics are stored on each iPhone, in a secure enclave with severely limited access, and they're only useful for identifying (slowly) someone at close range.

So, yes, theoretically in the future someone could hack all iPhones everywhere using one of the most sophisticated attacks ever, and collect data that might conceivably be useful for high resolution cameras to identify faces at close range. Maybe. Although Face ID uses infrared, so would the high resolution cameras need to have that, too?

Anyway, that's why I felt it was a stupid comment.
I mean, the current President of the United States was clearly elected in part because of his celebrity status.

Worse, like we know lie detectors would work for facts, "Did you do X? Yes/No"

My scenario would involve some startup creating some software that would analyze a brain scan(or worse analyze your internet activity) then it will answer for questions like this"Does this person has potential for being a pedophile? The answer would be something vague like "Strong potential"/ "weak potential" , I chose this example because I noticed that when children are involved you get much more irrational laws and the justice is applyed much stronger with less evidence

>> They were never excluded and made a point to include prominent contributions from all part of the country as we define it now.

So sufficient enough history is being taught.

That should settle the discussion.
The figures in the article, representing the drop, are 27% above 2012 levels. For science & engineering the student numbers are 46% higher than 2012. So much for that premise.

The decline shown is between 2016 and 2017. Trump wasn't President. Any decisions to attend in the US would have been considered well before it was even clear he would have a serious chance of winning.

There are two likely reasons for that dip. First, the cost of university education in the US is quite high. Second and in tandem with the first issue, countries like China that formerly would have sent a lot of students to the US, increasingly have the education systems and infrastructure - along with the post education opportunities - in place to retain their own talent pools.

Ask HN: How do you manage external dependencies?
Hi HN,

What sort of processes do you have in place around adding external dependencies? How much do they get in the way? Have you had them long enough to see any long-term issues?

We’re trying to figure out how to prevent chaos from different projects using too many random libraries from NuGet / npm / etc. The main concerns raised so far are supportability (“is this going to go away”) and consistency (“why is everyone using different libraries for the same thing”). The problem is, we don’t have any actual data on what works or how much of a problem things will actually be.

I know my own preference is for the lightest thing that will work, but pinning down what exactly _will_ work is hard when all I have are assumptions and gut feelings.

There are tenets of Islam that encourage increasing their population and/or having multiple wives (see Saudi Arabia and some of the countries around it).

There is a similar belief for evangelical Christians and hasidic Jews, and those populations also have more children than average.

I'm a statistician by trade so I mostly do prototype work. As far as building models my key workflow is using a R and Rstudio. The biggest issue is data management. I suggest a good API or wrapper for a data source that has all of the ETL already done for the most part. R connects very well to most database systems. RStudio makes development easier with connectivity to GitHub or other popular version control systems.

As far as putting into production I'm not as familiar. Yet I hear that a good Python workflow would probably work best.

Abstract: The upcoming European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) prohibits the processing and exploitation of some categories of personal data (health, political orientation, sexual preferences, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, etc.) due to the obvious privacy risks that may be derived from a malicious use of such type of information. These categories are referred to as sensitive personal data. Facebook has been recently fined €1.2M in Spain for collecting, storing and processing sensitive personal data for advertising purposes. This paper quantifies the portion of Facebook users in the European Union (EU) who are labeled with interests linked to sensitive personal data. The results of our study reveal that Facebook labels 73% EU users with sensitive interests. This corresponds to 40% of the overall EU population. We also estimate that a malicious third-party could unveil the identity of Facebook users that have been assigned a sensitive interest at a cost as low as €0.015 per user. Finally, we propose and implement a web browser extension to inform Facebook users of the sensitive interests Facebook has assigned them.

This statement regarding "perceived value" has nothing to do with "American media", "fake news" truth distorting or even politics.

They do that with pieces where brand/recognition isn't as important, having fairly unknown musicians make instrumental pieces for thematic playlists instead of putting artists from labels there. A lot cheaper and easier there than trying to compete for popular musicians with a major label.

That's a great idea, sounds like a niche for no-shows-as-a-service.
Not providing software updates is also a kind of planned obsolescence of computers. Luckily, we have free software operating systems which can extend the lifetime of computers. The fact that software is getting more and more inefficient isn't exactly helping either.
For c#, try compiling with IList instead of list.

IList myList = new List<String>(); myList.add(new Object());
It's still important to not create ridiculous software. The majority of devices have batteries and sloppy programming will kill the uptime. That's the main reason I delete things. One editor I can run for 8 hours on a full battery and another one for 2h.

So feel free to opt for history courses as part of your under graduate, graduate and higher level studies. Let's see how many people will quit their jobs and sign up for this if they are truly passionate about it.

There are totally 3 text books that you can teach as a part of serious history in high school. Then there is also a part related to world history and other civics education which is very important.

How much history do you think be stuffed in those 3 books? Then you have to also divide between contemporary, middle and ancient history. You could cut any century in Indian history and you could come up with 10s to 100s of kings with tons of history for each of them. Want to study it, don't go into Engineering or Medicine or Law or whatever. Opt for a B.A/M.A etc and study history full time.

Contemporary history is always easy to relate to current times than something 5000 years back.

I vaguely remember coming across a study based on genetics that implied the flow of migration was probably from east to west.

We've been using Bazel at work, where we have a monorepo with lots of different languages at play (Python, Go, Java, Scala, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Protobuf, just to name the major players) and I like that it makes all of them use a consistent interface for configuring and running builds. It helps that we have a specific team handling most of the Bazel work - and it costs about 10% of all of that team's time.

That's about the only thing I like about it, though. It's the most complicated build system I've ever used and I still don't fully grok it after 7 months working in this position.

Trump was, in fact, President well before the 16 April — 15 November period covered for the 2017 data.

But would have had ample time to be reconsidered after he won, and even after the initial implementation of the travel ban.

That was true I've the 2012–2016 period of increase, too, it didn't change between 2016 and 2017.

> Second and in tandem with the first issue, countries like China that formerly would have sent a lot of students to the US, increasingly have the education systems and infrastructure - along with the post education opportunities - in place to retain their own talent pools.

That also didn't dramatically change between 2016 and 2017.

What did dramatically change between 2016 and 2017 was the visible attitude of the U.S. public and government to foreigners.
This is exactly why I did not get into the trades. I love doing that type of work and working with my hands. But my dad who has been doing construction/electrical work for over 30 years now has trouble using his hands at times or holding a screwdriver. So that basically convinced me from doing it.
We are considering this for the solely because it is has screen sharing built in at the free level. In Slack, we would have to bump up to the paid level, and for our small team, the price jumps from free to $600+. The "decisions" and "tasks" features look like they might be nice (in theory). The largest thing holding us back is that many of us use Slack for other groups, which means Stride would be one more thing to run. A killer feature would be the ability to participate in Slack workspaces.
