The mechanism that SO uses for sorting answers is community votes. That poor or incorrect answers get up votes is a problem. SO only has its community to do that sorting. The corporate and diamond mods have specifically stepped away from doing this except in the most egregious and disruptive cases.
You need to add more latency for every time a device is encountered in the total path. As long as the amplifiers are optical that's a non issue but the satellites and base stations will have to receive and rebroadcast and the fiber optic network will likely at some point end up terminated at some router and then there will still be a number of hops to the destination.

Destroying Facebook's business model is the red herring that noone brings up. Their ability or need to make money is not sacred and the company has failed its assumed role as a steward over the worlds' intimate details.

He missed "Schedule" but incorrectly capitalized "passed". Tsk.
The comment above is saying the split looks like a diamond lane marker indicating an HOV/electric car lane, so the car is centering itself on the diamond. That's a completely different idea from the Reddit comment about the car centering itself between the right and left white lines. My guess is that both inputs contributed to the car "thinking" it was following a lane.
The article mentions 12,000 total final satellites, but the other 8,000 operate at different altitudes/frequencies so they will need to be approved separately.

Interior secretary: SpaceX wouldn’t be building rockets if it were regulated

Not keeping up to date on security best practices is in itself deliberately doing something wrong.

Lets not pretend we will get a perfect law the first time around. Closing a few gaps is already a good first effort. We just need to be willing to close a few more as we discover them. Note too that there are always unintended consequences - we also need to be quick for calling for the elimination of a well intended law where the unintended result is a negative, even if it does get some bad actors.

Two pieces of advice as a former hiring manager:

1) Write a cover letter specific to the job that highlights that you like helping others.

2) Apply to places where you have friends or acquaintances who can pass your resume along. Go to networking events if you just. Weak connections can help just as much as strong ones. Employee referrals make the screening process much easier for HR and Hiring Managers.

2. What are your specific goals for your use of social media? What do you want to get out of it?

3. What social media tools/platforms do you use?

4. How often do you use them?

5. What do you most like about social media?

6. What do you most dislike about it?

Missing "Schedule" isn't a big deal. During that period, English speakers didn't capitalize every noun, just the ones deemed important. Evidently Trump doesn't consider "schedule" important.
Appreciate you linking the report here and elsewhere. I haven't used backpage or the services of a sex worker; I'm somewhat aware that sex trafficking is a problem, although I haven't seen any information on what the size and scope of the problem really is. So, I'm fairly neutral here.

All that said, I'm reading especially "Findings (II.B)" and I'm not really convinced that child sex trafficking was really an intention with the site; at worst, it sounds like they weren't super aggressive about dealing with it (which, itself, isn't great).

From those pages:

> Backpage itself reports cases of suspected child exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children; in some months Backpage has transmitted hundreds of such reports to NCMEC.2

...

> NCMEC paid Backpage $3000 to host ads for eight underage girls, including one 13-year-old girl advertised in hundreds of cities across the United States; NCMEC later claimed that the image of the 13-year-old was posted online instantly and received over 30 calls within seven minutes of going live. Although Ferrer disputed NCMEC’s claim in an internal email a week later, asserting that the ad triggered a fraud alert and was removed from the site in less than two minutes, he admitted: "NCMEC posted 8 underage pics. We have not found all of them."

Were these photos of girls who were clearly underage? Depending on photo content, it can be practically impossible for the average person to correctly guess a subject's age, or even just whether or not they're a minority.

NCMEC even says as much:

> NCMEC has noted, "it is virtually impossible to determine how old the young women in these ads are without an in-depth criminal investigation. The pimps try to make the 15 year olds look 23. And the distinction of whether the person in the ad is 17 or 18 is pretty arbitrary."

This is either damning -- if the photos were the sort that the average person could immediately identify as underage -- or kind of a skeezy move by NCMEC.

Andrew Padilla, head of moderation:

> And even if an age verification was a deterrent to someone hoping to post an ad on Backpage to traffic a minor, it doesn’t mean they’re going to stop trying to traffic a minor. It only means they won’t be doing it on our site, where Backpage, NCMEC and law enforcement are in the best position to put an actual stop to the crime.

Assuming they were operating in good faith with NCMEC (not an assumption I'm committed to), he makes a reasonable point. And how would an effective age verification system be built for a site like this?

> Backpage documents also suggest the company failed to use its evaluation and training procedures to impress the seriousness of child exploitation upon its employees. As part of its investigation, Subcommittee staff examined several performance reviews for Backpage moderators...

Okay, if you're going to run a site like this, trying to identify child exploitation should be a much higher priority than this paragraph describes.

Still though, I'm leaning more towards "incompetent and poor judgement" than "malicious intent" here.
It works for gangsters, organized crime, weapons merchants, and morticians.
Immutable strucutres allow you to sharing or keeping multiple versions. For instance moddeling gamestate as an immutable tree so the ai can cheaply try different options.

Also sometimes it's still simpler. Exception handling on windows uses a thread local immutable linked list of handlers.

There are plenty of more powerful and cheaper options too, it's just that the Raspberry Pi has mindshare amongst people writing about hobbyist and maker stuff. I have decidedly mixed feelings about the Raspberry Pi community as a whole; while they're certainly vocal and numerous, they used to have an unfortunate cultural tendency towards blaming any problems on the users being too stupid to use a Pi, even ones caused by major bugs in the Pi itself.

Your “link” isn’t “the” cause. The causes are manyfold, including criminals operating under sex work prohibition. Human trafficking victims also are forced to be maids, concubines, surrogate mothers, salon workers, factory workers, etc.

You can’t “solve” human trafficking by attacking sex workers.

We help large manufacturers optimize their in-transit inventory, leading to a decreased working capital spend and increased customer service level. We do this by tracking and analyzing the movement of shipments around the world using our low-cost pallet tracking devices ($5) and predictive logistics intelligence suite. Long story short, we help large companies like Proctor & Gamble move their supply chain.

This is one of the few massive industries ($4T) left that are left to be digitized and completely optimized with technology. We have some funding, customers, interesting strategic partners, and are growing fairly quickly.

I second many of the tips here but also if you just want to make things happen while you’re learning, look at modules on Adafruit and Sparkfun. Like software libraries, they abstract away the complexity, and like software libraries you wire them up, write a little glue code, and focus on the application. This approach can get pricey but you will make things happen and get used to being in the space.
You need to actually do something incredibly stupid to find yourself in the position. Sorry to say, your software skills are not that important. When you cross the line to asking "how can I make your criminal activities easier" you might have a problem then.

I used them for 2 years and then cancelled my subscription. They made a change to how the workers were paid which lowered the hourly compensation the shoppers got and pressured them to make more trips/hr.

Prior to the change we'd get a call to confirm all substitutions, the produce was higher quality, and they call to let me know they were on their way.

After the change substitutions happened with no warning till it was delivered if they even marked it as a substitution. Anything large or not quick to get would be marked as "not available", such as soda or specific cuts of meat that required talking to the butcher. That one isn't even a speculation as I'd have to go down to the store and get the items myself if I wanted to prepare my meal I had planned.

The shoppers would also knock on my door and drop the bags on the floor at best. I had several occasions where they just left the bags without knocking or calling and I had frozen items dethawing outside.

All in all I felt like I was paying extra for a product that was inferior to the results of me purchasing the items myself, and was no longer convienant as the substitutions, low quality produce, and wrong cuts of meat were leading to me having to go to the store myself after every order.

If they could get the quality back to where it was the first two years I would have been willing to pay 50% more because it saved so much time, but I don't think they are headed in that direction
>$80K? That's peanuts. Government projects that are outsourced run in the 10's or in some rare cases even 100's of millions of $/E/YourFavoriteCurrency and get cancelled because of non-delivery with alarming regularity.

Right. I'm not an expert in the study of this [1], but even just as a regular dev (and sometime manager or team leader, with some training and experience in software engineering techniques, including successful application of such techniques in real projects), I take an interest in this, and have come across multiple such cases in just reading the tech news - magazines, web sites, etc.

A couple of related links:

https://www.google.co.in/searchq=large+software+project+fail...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_failed_and_overbudget_...

There are ways to overcome these failures, or rather prevent them, but they require disciplined use of techniques, from top to bottom of the team, which is not very common, for various reasons, either lack of knowledge of the techniques at all, disbelief that they are effective (if done right), or lack of political will to implement them, or penny-wise-pound-foolish mentality.

Yet another data point showing why we need more housing and better public transportation in coastal cities. Boston's immediately adjacent suburbs like Cambridge and Somerville are filled with crappy run down houses converted to apartments serving 2-3 users or groups. No one likes them besides the landlords, they are generally of shitty quality / falling apart, and they are extremely expensive. If they were bulldozed and replaced with high rise apartments, costs would greatly fall. Similarly, if the T didn't suck so much and serviced outlying communities, people could more easily live farther away from the city proper, which would also reduce pressures on the city and proximal suburbs to support everyone.
This is no longer the case. No email data is used for any ad targeting.

The mini engineer notebooks is probably what you're thinking of; and you're right on your assessment.

But he wrote other books published through Radio Shack (and maybe TAB publications?) that did address things for learning and such.

His website has a complete listing of his works:

http://www.forrestmims.org/publications.html

In fact, the first book on that page is called "Getting Started in Electronics" (he's actually a prolific author); between that book, the mini-notebooks, and AOE - that would be a great set for an electronics education.
If you want to bring this up, you should be blaming MIT rather than JSTOR.

Depends on the language.

In some languages it's /ɛ/ (English "eh"), in others it's /e/ (Scottish English "ay"), and in yet others it's /e̞/ (halfway between the two). It's rarely /ɛɪ/ ("ay" in most dialects of English), though it appears in many other languages written as something other than "e".

Dutch is an interesting case: /ɛ/, /e/, and /ɛɪ/ are all different phonemes (short "e", long "e"/"ee", and "ei"/"ij" respectively).

Many only have one. Greek just has /ɛ/. Japanese just has /e̞/.
And then what? Where does the population go for care? Better to have a track record on long-standing organizations that play whack-a-mole.

This is definitely true. These days it seems law enforcement and news agencies seem to use the terms synonymously. It's a very worrying trend because "sex trafficking" sounds much worse than just regular-ole prostitution.
I would be careful calling it just the MobilEye system or the Nvidia system and assigning blame accordingly.
