Mine was really simple, I basically created a SQLite DB with all the recipes I like and where to look them up from. Then I had an interface that would randomly pull the recipes out of the table and assign them. It was basically like (select 1 meat, 1 side, 1 starch, unless it was a one-dish-meal like lasagne).

I ran into a bunch of problems with generating pretty much the same meal multiple times per week. So, I then inserted a "likeness" score for how much I actually liked that item (ex/ brussels sprouts were a 2, sweet potato fries a 9), and then used that as a seed for the probability of showing up.

It was super personalized and I recently found Big Oven which is actually much better than what I had done (it also generates grocery lists and can incorporate random food blogs). The one problem with that app turned into another side project. They limit how many recipes you can OCR into their app. So, my workaround was to create my own "food blog" by uploading a bunch of static sites on my personal website and then linking them. (because food blogs are free to link).

I think 7 was the contractual term for the traditional "craft" apprenticeship blacksmiths starting at 14 - latterly 4 years starting at 15/16

For what's termed higher apprenticeships you either did a craft one first or joined later on at 18 or so.

The problem will come is that higher apprentices learn the fundamental building blocks and tech employers want people rote trained in " latest shiny tech"

Btw traditional apprentices where not guaranteed a job at the end, it was possible to sack an apprentice but you'd sack them on grounds on breach of contract. As they(or their parents) signed a biding contract - you could not make the redundant though.

Modern apprenticeships are normally direct employees now though - not sure about Germany though.

Just as a counter to this, consider something like linked in. Suppose you innocently get a new job, and it doesn't work out pretty quickly (e.g. within a month you realize it was a huge mistake). Suppose you also marked this job on your linked in.

Now you have to ask yourself if linked In is selling this private information to new employers about this recent bad-role. Also, there are firms that sell info to your employer about you updating your linked in (because it may mean you're looking to quit).

So it could affect your career negatively, even if you're super happy and don't see the effects directly.
I think part of the problem is that fundamental decisions around IPR collided in time with the decision to explore this space outside of nationally funded research. Had bodies which have charitable status and seek government funds done the majority work rather than monsanto, I suspect GMO would have been understood more widely for its benefits. Having it go rapidly from government funded labs to commercial exploitatio of IPR tied knots into the model: who owns infected wheat next door to a field which was sown with GMO wheat, is a very wierd story. How can you expect farmers to relate well to this? Likewise, the decision of the organic farming movement to de-rate GMO meant the consequential loss to farms around a GMO crop was high. This is pitting farmer against farmer, and farmer against seed merchant. Seed hoarding has been a part of farming practice since Noah. Now, it incurs a long-tail lease payment? Bizarre!

None of this is about the FUD on GMO and health. Its the economics of IPR, and the effect on emotional feelings about GMO. I think the science is fantastic. The commercialization is awful.

Yes, totally agreed, that's the preferred approach. Unfortunately most start-ups seem to be under the impression that more data is better because that worked so well for everybody else. But let's hope it is not too late to turn the tide on that. Between Equifax and Facebook some people are waking up. Not enough of them yet but who knows.

Start-ups should start to see data as a liability instead of as an asset.

Plants that are more resistant to herbicides/pesticides (weeds/bugs) due to GMO is my main gripe. Indoor growing and hydroponics is the best solution to this from my point of view. I have no problem with making food more nutrient-rich via GMO. I am well aware that all foods get sprayed, I'd be nice if none needed to be used and plants didn't get modified to make their own herbicides/pesticides.

I'll probably anger both side of the debate because I'm not 100% on one side or the other.

I work for a company that makes electronic products. We outsource the signing-off kind of engineering to a company that also does electrical regulatory testing for us. Here's my impression about it.

The work is boring, as in mind-crushing boring. You don't get to invent or design anything. Your job is to watch other people invent things, and then run those things through a set of checklists, while documenting everything.

One thing about programming is that it's democratic, inasmuch as anybody can download Python and start programming. Including me. Nobody will stop me, and I will invent things. We already have the situation in my department, that I'm not "allowed" to program, meaning that I "prototype" things, and the programming department turns them into a product that can be shipped.

Programming is too important to be left to the programmers. ;-)

Multisig was needed for our escrow and until recently it wasn't in Monero, so it's not integrated yet. Also ideally it would have SPV, but Monero can't do that. But I like Monero and hope it does get integrated eventually.

GP actually said exactly that, just in a slightly different way:

> "This galaxy discovery, though, appears to be strong evidence against MOND or other modified-gravity theories since the dark matter is missing in this case."

Since MOND assumes that dark matter does not exist (or at least does not interact with gravity), then under MOND this galaxy should not exist. MOND stipulates that all galaxies of a given size should rotate at the same speed, and that speed is greater than that predicted by newtonian mechanics. This galaxy defies MOND predictions, and appears to obey Newton's. Does that make sense or am I missing something else?
> Google accurately reflecting the gist of the content and information available on the web

I wouldn't assume that Google's search results reflect anything but an attempt to bring you back by showing you results you find valuable, and to monetize your visit.

> scrubbing it to better reflect a chosen set of cultural sensitivities?

Google (and any other mass market vendor) removes a lot of things that people don't want to see, including scams, X-rated content, brutality, etc. People searching for information on their dog don't want to see bestiality. These aren't arbitrarily chosen preferences or mere "sensitivities", but social norms which in many cases have a strong moral foundation.
Markets only sort everything out if the incentives are right. Stock markets are efficient because people can make money out of predicting future prices. But people don't always benefit from making good hiring decisions. They might even be punished for hiring the best, because companies are made out of competing individuals, and an excessively good candidate could make them look worse by comparison. Hiring markets are optimized for ass-covering, not profit. The experience requirements let people deflect the blame if anything goes wrong.
> They behave similarly to neutrinos except are much more massive and instead of almost always having so much energy that they travel at relativistic speeds they travel at much slower speeds

You've mixed this up a bit.

Because neutrinos have such a low invariant mass, they have little inertia, so are readily accelerated to speeds comparable to the speed of light at production time or when scattering off an atomic nucleus. A heavy neutrino has a higher invariant mass by definition, and thus more inertia, and thus are likely to move less than a lower-inertia regular neutrino when encountering an an atomic nucleus.

Since there is a lot of gas and dust around at the start of structure formation, you need some mechanism to keep energy-momentum localized around the matter that will become luminous matter like stars and hot gas. Adding inertia to a particle that is otherwise highly comparable to a neutrino would do the job. Normal neutrinos approaching close enough ("scattering") to an atomic nucleus would tend to get a large kick, which can be considered as a substantial Lorentz boost. Heavy neutrinos suffer a smaller kick.

There are is an additionally point worth considering here: there are almost certainly cold regular neutrinos in a relic field called the cosmic neutrino background, which is analogous to the cosmic microwave background. These neutrinos rarely interact with atomic nuclei, but when they do they are liable to get a big kick. They also are so low-energy that there would have to be an enormous amount of them if they were a major component of Cold Dark Matter; enough that there would be visible nuclear-reaction signatures in our sky as they get heated up by collision with hot gas and the like in the galaxies around which the standard cosmology expects there to be lots of Cold Dark Matter. The heating up of such huge densities of cold standard neutrinos (by weak interactions with hot baryons) would also kick many of the neutrinos out of galaxies over time, which produces a smearing out of visible matter as an observable.

Those galaxy-scale observables and the peaks in the CMB power spectrum (plotting the fluctuations in the CMB temperature spectrum at different angular scales) preclude primordial cold standard neutrinos as an important component of Cold Dark Matter operating since the formation of the earliest galaxies.

Is there any substantive basis for this claim? My impression is that Google gets away with a lot.
You should probably talk to a lawyer, because given what’s been said in this thread alone, you’re never going to be able to argue that you didn’t knowingly facilitate. Love it or hate it, new laws make that problematic even for Google.

Me too. And frankly, I could not care less about whatever someone says to HR during the non-technical B.S. interview process that some companies have. "Tell me a time where you did X". Make up whatever story you want, they will not fact check you, as long as you don't overdo it.

For technical interviews though, it depends on how deep the interviewer will want to probe. Banking that they won't care or don't know their stuff is not really a winning strategy.

People may overlook some of the job requirements (many interviewers won't even look at what's written in the job offer itself!). They will not look the other way if they catch you lying, even if it about something that's of no consequence for the job. You get branded as not trustworthy from the get go.

The truth is that Facebook engineering & UX has been either incompetent (incredibly unlikely given the caliber of people they have) or willfully / inadvertently avoiding clearly communicating to users what permissions apps need.

It's not rocket science.
X years of experience might also count part time work done during college.
and it should be evident that perhaps your logic or understanding is faulty rather than a worldwide media conspiracy to short Facebook stock.

Classic liberal tactic: dismiss people that point out the obvious flaws in your rhetoric by painting them as conspiracy theorists. I don’t think it’s a “worldwide conspiracy to short Facebook stock”. I think that the media outlets distributing these stories, which are spreading false information and implying things that aren’t possible (as my comment points out), hate Trump, are pissed that they were unable to manipulate the election in the way that they wanted, and are doing what they can to ensure he doesn’t win in 2020. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they attempted to get a little cream on top and tried to profit from their false narrative by shorting the stock as well. There’s actually nothing wrong with that, as long as the stories are factual, but it’s illegal (at least under US law) when they are not.

the story is not at all "oh no they brought targeted facebook adverts"

That isn’t all of the story, but that is a part of the narrative that is being told, and that part is factually impossible. Further, even the rest of your claims that they actually used the psychographic profiles are simply not accurate. See: https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/20/17138854/cambridge-analyt...
> If you don't have a broad selection of faces to test with, you shouldn't claim you have 'face detection', since you merely have 'detection of faces of the people that work on the project plus anyone who looks like them'.

Yeah, but that's what happened here with HP in 2009. I'm not a huge fan of their products these days but I don't think they would intentionally be deceptive here, i.e. I think there's a lot of room to blame incompetence before malice. If HP is a company with very few black employees, this kind of consideration may be completely off their radar. It's super unfortunate, but I don't see the company as evil or maliciously racist, per se (I think we can skip retreading the hiring for diversity debates for now).

> This would be a completely different story if someone writing the face matching code specifically programmed code or wrote configuration data that targets skin tone or geometry of specific groups of people.

Why does it matter? What's the difference between an algorithm that fails to perform because of programmer incompetence, or programmer malice? What's the difference to the end-user if the programmer was plain ignorant of good testing coverage, vs. a programmer who thought "Fuck it, minorities are a minor part of our user base. Not worth the extra engineering effort!"?

Technology is an unavoidable part of the problem. Because it is the technology that allows us the power and freedom to create and apply scalable algorithms to machinery and computers. This automation allows for efficient and reliable decision-making, and we as a society decide where that automation is appropriate and worthwhile, i.e. where human agency is no longer needed.

But technology and its fundamentals are still a key factor. Creating a multi-racial face classifier is fundamentally more work and difficulty than one trained for just one race. The math and physics are unavoidable. And every engineered system and product has to make tradeoffs between production cost and feature set.

In the case of the light-skin-optimized HP web cam, I think it's important, and fine, to call it "racist" -- a black HP customer will have an inferior experience fundamentally because he is racially black. But this isn't just a way to quickly assign blame. Recognizing that tech is fundamentally limited is the first step in understanding that systemic racism (e.g., all the decisions that led to the "racist" camera) could be a contributing factor to the camera's substandard performance.

Much harder to get to that thinking if we have a mentality of, "how could the computer be wrong/flawed?"

I view this less on the merits of GMO. I think this is a reflection of the negativity pervasive on the internet. People separate into their own camps on the internet.
