You can spend many months working through papers and books without a company paying you for that. That's something that I continually do and have always done, in my own time (and many different fields). Sufficient and not necessary indeed.
That's decidedly not what happened, and not even what the plaintiff claims. The plaintiff claims that one manager asked to only consider "historically underrepresented" groups for low-level positions for a while, which Google denies.
I don't believe you can have 2 planets in the same orbit, and once they're in different orbits they'll take a different amount of time to orbit; so you should be able to get individual measurements.

Edit: Well, as per the simulated stable thread, apparently you can have Trojan etc pairs of planets in the same orbit. Interesting.
It's very unlikely to get blamed for polite respectful attention to females if you don't confuse it with any shades of sexist moves. You don't apply this logic to men, which is sexist, even considering that male jerks are a far more often thing than female ones. So why you just dont't stop contacting them first?
Except that there are often legal reasons for things to be in a weird way. Or it would require a long negociation with trade unions and 3 strikes. I have some sympathy for the complexity large organisations (public or private) have to deal with (even if “keeping it simple” is still too underrated). I have way less sympathy for the ERP software than can only handle one use case and then it takes a bunch of non technical consultants months to hack a way around the ERP through configuration when really the problem is that the ERP has been designed in a too narrow minded way or that the consultants aren’t the right people for the job.

Please evaluate your point, because if you are right then a huge number of workers across the globe should not have a career in driving.
Yes, we just announced/released the alpha of our auth framework a while ago, called SEA (Security, Encryption, Authorization).

Because it is based on P2P/decentralized cryptography, it is actually pretty hard and cutting-edge to implement (you get end-to-end encryption automatically with it!), but we've made it ridiculously easy for developers to use:

- 4 minute nad 40LOC interactive coding tutorial: https://scrimba.com/c/c2gBgt4

It is alpha though, still has several more features that need to be added to make it usable for different types of app (so you might want to stick with Firebase till then). Please let me know if you have any questions or anything else I can help with!

>But when the surrounding area is only zoned for low density housing, that constrains the number of such people who can exist and other people will have a two hour walk to the train station.

I haven't been to a place in my country where a train station, bus or tram stop weren't within a 10 or 15 minute walk distance.

>You don't choose your hours, your boss does. If there are trains at 2200 and 2430 and your shift ends at 2230, you wait two hours. If there are trains arriving at 2200 and 2430 and your shift starts at 2400, you get there two hours early.

Shift work is rare, though IIRC from my legal course, a boss in my country is required to accommodate your transportation needs when organizing work hours.

>And why run a bus with two people on it (or zero people on it) when the alternative of not running the bus and having those people share an Uber is actually more efficient?

Because buses have lower maintenance costs and those two people still need transportation.

As mentioned, the cost of running the buses is lower or equal to Uber even before accounting for maintenance costs on the Uber.

What do you do when no Uber is available for you? The bus will arrive at the bus stop at the time noted in the plan. Maybe 5 minutes late but it'll come.

I find it hard to believe that an Uber driver would be available in my region at 3AM in the morning, driving me about 50km home. While being cheaper than the bus or train.

>It solves it for both. If you create a lot of housing in the city at affordable prices then most people who work in the city move into it and get off the roads.

Citation needed. Even people in the city will require transportation since very very few people are lucky enough to live within walking distance to work.

>A good workaround is to build a new transit hub in the middle of a currently low density area just outside the inner city and rezone it for high density.

We already have a transport hub in my community and we are far from being large. You don't need to rezone it for high density if everyone from the local community area can get there within 10 minutes via foot, bike, bus or car.

>Running empty buses is never efficient, and skyscrapers are the city.

Running empty buses is not efficient but as noted, more efficient than uber. If you only look at individual transport units (a single train, bus, tram) then of course you'll find lots of them operating below the efficiency of a uber.

But if you look at the entire system it (probably) is more efficient than uber by an order of magnitude without any of your "fixes".
Hiring Rails / JS engineer -- mainly using React.js / Rails / MongoDB / Golang

Nota, inc. is a profitable web startup with an office in Kyoto. Nota's https://gyazo.com screenshot app is used by nearly 10 million people every month and its new organized-for-you note service https://scrapbox.io is rapidly growing in popularity among developers, startups, and researchers.

We're looking for a rails/JS engineer to join our Kyoto office or work remotely but from the japan time zone. We have a casual and friendly work atmosphere with our CEO having lived in silicon valley for several years. Some japanese language is useful but not absolutely required!

It's easy to read this and agree, but quite a bit more difficult to then turn down discussions with Big Co once you've quoted them 1M ACV and they didn't flinch.

If you feel you must pursue such a deal against this advice, one way to counteract the negative effects is to bake in a break up fee in the evaluation/trial phase (don't call it that, though).

Most 'Big Deals' will come with such a trial / prototype phase. One way to structure a 'break up fee' is to say: the trial will cost 10% of the final annual contract value - if we close, this will be counted as a rebate against the final price, if we fail to close, startup will keep the 10% to cover their costs of the phase.
Also worth mentioning is the Temporary Containers add-on [1] [2] which works in conjunction with Multi-Account Containers.

If you browse the Internet in default Tabs or in a specific Container you still collect Cookies, Storage and Cache in one place — which is something advertisers and other data-collecting services really appreciate — it makes tracking you easy. Fortunately there’s an easy way to automatically create new Containers every time you open a new Tab and delete the Container if it’s not needed anymore: the Temporary Containers Add-on. By default you can open new Tabs in Temporary Containers with the Toolbar Icon or the keyboard shortcut Alt+C. If you enable the “Automatic Mode” in the options however, it will overwrite your standard ways of opening websites in new Tabs and external programs opening links. Instead of opening the website in No Container, it will open the website in a freshly created Temporary Container. You’ll notice how the names of the Containers keep counting up every time you open a new tab and visit a website: tmp1, tmp2, tmp3. As soon as you close the last Tab in such a Container, it will automatically get removed and with it all that data that makes you easy to track.

Yes, I thought about that. I'm working on extending the program to essentially change the King James Bible into a fair random distribution of any kind. Length of words is something to consider. Position on page might also be at issue but one would need data on the exact printing so that might be overkill.

Being a gamer myself motivated me to actually solve this problem neatly. Make PDFs and get them into distribution.

Only middle class professionals have "a career" and therefore deserve to have enough money to live on, don't you know.

It's the primary reason we don't need a minimum wage - working in the service industry or any other relatively unskilled work isn't "a career" so it doesn't matter if it only pays 2 bucks an hour, so goes the reasoning because nobody should be expecting to do it for long or make a life out of it.

It's myopic.

Whilst I do wish I could cleanse a web application of actually supporting system(), we have system() in Perl, Ruby, Python, and modules for Node. I've seen people bagging PHP and that really isn't fair.

Shower thought: Allow me to globally disable system() in for language x. Aside from the obvious case of just banning these insane system calls, you're protected against surprise vectors in parsers.

Amazon Dash is illegal in Germany
Amazon Dash is illegal in Germany, a German court ruled in a lawsuit by a consumer protection office:

- Users have to be informed about the actual item and price before the order

- Button must have notice that using it creates a payable order ("zahlungspflichtig bestellen")

Reasoning for lawsuit is, that the Dash button limits consumer ability to compare prices.
You don't want to consider just "tangents" and, instead, consider what I defined as supporting hyperplanes of the epigraph and subgradients of the function. If the gradient exists, that is, if the function is differentiable, then the subgradient really is a tangent. Otherwise can have many different subgradients supporting at one point on the curve and its epigraph.

It's simple: A cube has supporting planes at each point that is an edge or corner, but those points do not have tangents.
DIY Text-To-Speech with Raspberry Pi
A female (whose weight was already very much on the lower end of 'normal') was diagnosed as pre-diabetic a while ago, and was able to control/improve things with a fairly strict low-carb --verging on keto-- diet. Sounds similar, and a similar approach may be worth trying?
You dont't apply this logic to men somehow, despite the fact that male jerks can equally destroy you career. How about stopping your interactions with men as well then? essentially you suggest to ignore and reinforce a huge problem of sexism instead of learning how to behave correctly. This approach is harmful and stinks in both moral and professional sence. Sexism and discrimination create toxic environment, not people and actions attempting to battle it.

> It is also absolutely true, in my experience, that you need a graduate-level education or years of hands-on experience to troubleshoot cases where AI/ML fails on a deceptively-simple problem, or to tweak an AI/ML algorithm (or develop a new one) so it can solve a novel problem.

How much of that is critical domain specific knowledge and how much of that is just general engineering debugging/problem solving experience though? Certainly the person who does have the masters/PhD and a few years of applying that to real-world ML problems will have the edge but an experienced developer who's got a knack for maths (though no direct ML experience) may be able to get up to speed quicker than you think. Part of that will be experience with knowing how and when to ask the right questions when you get stuck.

That depends. If you go somewhere like Thailand, you fill one-page form, glue your photo and send passport, said form and 40 dollars in envelope to consulate, then pick it up on your way to airport.

If you go somewhere like US or EU - that's kind of humiliating. You pay ridiculous fee, fill long form on terribly designed website, travel to another city for interview and have 33% chance to not get it without any explanation.

For EU you also get to gather ton of bullshit papers from bank, insurance company, hotel, airline and your local employer for single trip.

Anybody have any insight on what it feels like working as consultant on such a huge failure? I (or my department, but honestly mostly me) once failed, as a consultant, to successfully deliver on a $50k contract and I felt like absolute shit for weeks and had trouble sleeping. I'd hate to think how it would feel to fail on this scale. Or is it a situation where the whole thing is so large and diffuse that no one can honestly be said to be responsible.
