As I said below - I will at the proper hourly rate. With the right hourly rate, I can make more than enough to make up for any gap in employment and I'm in a market where jobs are a dime a dozen.

Besides, there are some opportunities where companies just want someone to come in, fix a problem and then after that it's just boring maintenance work. If it's a contract, I can come in, fix the problem, and look for a more interesting full time job without being labeled a "job hopper". I can just put on my resume that the 6 month job was a contract.

I prefer contracting but I found that more companies are willing to pay me my minimum salary than the commensurate hourly rate I ask for to make up for the possible gap in employment, unpaid time off, and self employment taxes.

But, my wife has a stable government job with decent benefits that allows me to go back and forth between contracting and permanent and allows me to take risks working at companies that pique my interest without concern about the long term viability of my job.
Pretty much, sending your kids to private school in the US all about connections and having them join the right clique, even if they come out with poorer skills overall.
You could probably fork the game to do this, however, which would be much more ergonomic than, say, StarCraft Triggers

I don't see why. Multiple takes are often done anyway. The setting is all there, the actors in place, the lighting - just do another take. It doesn't have to be done for all the scenes.

I also wonder why the original actors didn't do the dub voices.
> but it's possible that z causes both x and y, and z's effect on x is just more delayed than its effect on y.

This is in fact the case with the barometer falling before a storm. Both the falling barometer and the subsequent rain and wind of a storm are consequences of an uneven distribution of heat and moisture in the atmosphere approaching equilibrium under the constraints of Earth's gravity and Coriolis force.
There is also the interpretation of when is it PD or AD.
In Norway the ‘The Norwegian Data Protection Authority‘ states 4 or less is personal, no way to link to less than 5 is anonymous.

If we don't know that the true equation is x(t+1) = f(x(t),u(t)) but have to infer it from data, then observing that such an equation seems to hold true for some particular u and x does not mean that u causes changes to x.

It may simply be a predictor of x, as in the 'barometer readings may precede and imply a storm but not cause one' example given by others above.
The nuclear option -- but the one that has always seemed to quickly take care of the issue when nothing else would -- is calling the credit card company and initiating a chargeback.

Shouldn't it be the cult of the single root cause? Most problems seem to have several contributing factors. You can almost randomly pick one factor, improve it, and the whole situation will get better.

You see this a lot in public debate like education or health care. Instead of fixing one of the many problems a lot of time and energy is wasted on finding THE root cause that will fix everything.
My entire set of real names is basically a string of generic names. They also happen to conflict with a famous sports ball player and another professional. Finding me on the internet is difficult.
This "market" (if you could even call it that) is far from transparent, objectively measuring the effect of one school versus another is hard. The most concerning metric when I look at private schools is the severe pay differential. This isn't cause private schools are getting better deals on quality teachers, they've been self selecting for teachers that local school districts won't hire (for good reason) and get commensurate results. Being in the right social circle is the prime driver of going to private schools from what I've discerned and experienced. Most don't have diversity requirements or scholarships to ensure the classroom isn't a mono-culture of socio-economic status or race.
There's nothing about this particular lawsuit that suggests the people involved are of the "rich get to set the rules" mentality — rather, it's a perfect example of something that superficially seems completely fair for everybody involved but, in reality, actually isn't.
Yeah, what about side-effects? will there be any?

Reading the translation I have a couple questions. Is the same punishment given whether it is "hate" or "violence"? (I assume not)

What is Germany's definition of "hate"? Is it just up to the court to decide if something is considered hate?
Yes, but you should not assume that the person who searches won't specify additional terms. For example "first_name last_name" yields different results than "first_name second_name third_name fourth_name last_name" or "first_name last_name city". It all depends on how eager the person is to find information about you, and how clever they are with search engine usage. You cannot test all the parameters!

That is very fair. However you are disagreeing with something I stated was my very humble opinion. I didn't mean for it to be an analysis. More of a story shared at a pub as to why I don't fish off a particular pier anymore.

The important difference here is that this platform claims to be an encyclopedia, and any random vandal may not simply make an edit on an article of the conventional encyclopedia.

It would only be natural for us to take this resource as not-so-reliable, for that it is as easy a man to spit on the floor to infiltrate Wikipedia with false information. Yet, we usually don't. We usually just go ahead and trust what we see on Wikipedia, and maybe that's because it looks so convincing and reliable.

If Wikipedia cannot handle vandalism, maybe it should then warn it's users to realize that there is some higher chance than they might expect that the article they are about to read might have been compromised in terms of correctness, or has never been correct to begin with. Instead of displaying full-page banners, perhaps they should spare a couple of lines to such disclaimer statistics.

I definitely bought this chip and a bunch of pots and caps and twiddled with it. While I had a full sized Yamaha organ at home to make music with, being able to invent my own sounds was almost more satisfying.

Apart from the fact that DirectX 12 predates Vulkan by a substantial margin (and includes APIs for more than graphics), this is a pretty major reason. The API itself is only one concern and I can't tell whether it's easier or harder to use OpenGL (assuming an expert at both) - it's just different. The tooling surrounding it is a completely different story.

Even during DirectX 9 there was a tool that would show you the state of all your backbuffers after draw calls[1]. It was extremely spartan, but with such a simple tool debugging shaders became enormously easier. I'm not sure if anything exists for OpenGL today. They productized this and more in VS2017[2] - including being able to step through shaders in a debugger. The big draw to the Windows platform for developers has always been the tooling and Microsoft knows this.

VS and DirectX aren't going away until people stop regarding them a "just a text editor" and "just an API" respectively. It would help if people earnestly competed with what Microsoft is doing, instead of dismissing their products for no other reason than dogma.

I don't know exactly how this fashion of people phrasing their personal suggestions as imperious commands started, but I'm looking forward to its inevitable demise.
I'm guessing this has nothing to do with prudishness and everything to do with people putting their places and Airbnb and finding out porn was shot at their place and it's now a hazmat site.

It might make it convenient to do those things, but it doesn't make it a database really though does it? The article admits it doesn't have to handle the most complex problems associated with data persistence (getting transactional blocks of data to a storage medium).

Your examples become a problem if your graph can't fit in the RAM of one host. If not that, then you have then distinct graphs to handle, and so a paralellisable problem to be handled by multiple processes. All you have in that case is an abstraction which lets you have a unified interface to all of them. Notably that also isn't relevant as the one in the article doesn't do any of that. It is a graph library.
Why would we need that (and why do you think it is even possible)? We didn't have a definition of spacetime until we had one. Our current definitions if intellect and consciousness may be completely off, like the concept of absolute time.
>In what sense is a process being used by experienced editors against an inexperienced one here? Again: all I see is a person being told where to file grievances, and a general set of expectation about "Conflict of Interest" that doesn't in fact match the project's COI guidelines.

I'm thinking of the FORUMSHOP justification for closing the discussion on ANI in particular, and I'm more generally responding to your posts in this thread.

About this incident, I think it's fair to say that the administrator in question, with 13 years of experience and over 100k edits might be more experienced with the rules and policies than User:KalHolmann.

Now if the COI guidelines do no justify filing a report to the COI Noticeboard, that is one thing and closing that request is understandable, but ANI is a place for discussion, and since we're using it as an example the FORUMSHOP close reason comes across as exceptionally severe and opinionated to me.

I see a person being told to file grievances somewhere else, and an administrator who at the very least may have forgotten to Assume Good Faith in response.
No, that is exactly what it means.

I actually think that American boarding schools can be quite good academically (Andover, Exeter, etc.), but sending your kid to boarding school in Switzerland is likely not about academics in the least.

One could equally say that high-achieving students are likely to be able to learn independantly and are less in need of the best educational resources.

I'm currently one week away from finishing secondary school here in the UK. My school is pretty mediocre, and better luck in the school ballot would've gotten me into a much better school. But I'm glad I 'lost' the ballot - I like my school in spite of its flaws, and am certain that I would not have achieved any higher in a 'better' school than I have anyway.
It's not just a matter of shooting it 2x. It's a matter of getting the scene right the second time. Each final shot that makes it in has many that don't. In contrast, dubbing is relatively cheap.
More than funding, then issue is data. Untangling correlation from causation usually requires running additional experiments.

It's important for people to understand these limits of current ML, but they are happening for a good reason. You can apply associative reasoning in many environments that don't support causal reasoning, and we are still scratching the surface of the value discovering associations can create.
I suppose that the popularity of the superhero genre in comic books started with Superman, then continued with Captain America, and other indigenous characters.

It's really easy to get your Facebook account permanent and irrevocably deleted :

just start spamming some links on public pages. after you do this a dozen times, Facebook will disable or shadow-ban your account , rendering it completely invisible for everyone but you, esp if you do it really quickly and the links are obvious spam
This was what came to my mind as well. The fire strawman presented exemplifies this. Finding the root cause is simply a mental model. Discovering that there are three and picking the best one to fix (assuming you’re limited by time/money/complicity/etc or it’s undesirable to fix others) is 100% ok. The existence of instances of multiple root causes does not really say anything negative about Root Cause Analysis.

In cases where you can’t discover the root cause (I.e. a plane that explodes and destroys the root cause) you simply have to go as deep as is reasonable and work from there.

If someone is unwilling to be reasonable and accept a number of root causes between M-N then the issue is with them, not Root Cause Analysis.
This is the case in Australia too, cheques come with “|Not Negotiable|” pre-printed on them, meaning they cannot be cashed, only deposited to the recipient’s account. The words mean something completely different in the US, and writing them actually completely voids the cheque.
A bunch of 3rd party trackers collecting every move you make with your cursor probably won't fit most people's definition of 'voluntarily entered into a website'.

I will defend Schwab to the death. I belong to a credit union as well for physical cash depositing purposes, but use Schwab for every other banking need. I can pull out currency from any ATM that supports Visa in the world for free - that's worth its weight in gold. Their customer service has been top notch as well - I've called them to ask questions about services that they don't even offer and gotten informative answers about how and where to go about it.
Not for nothing, but most companies beside following applicable laws, typically also follow the mores of the people they serve --so they will bend to this or that public pressure, irrespective of whether it's the right thing to do, from a perspective of justice.

In some cases it means they do the right thing (avoiding prejudice, other times it means that same pressure results in a different prejudice, as evidenced here). But again, I'm not sure I'd want to rent out my property to people using it as a stage location, unless remuneration was commensurate with what they are doing.
> Imagine if a country like Russia

Honestly, Israel, KSA etc. are as much, if not more likely to do this, as indeed shown by the Phillip Cross guy, who was making edits to benefit them. Of course it is far easier to constantly mention Russia, (and it should be mentioned), but I'd love if people were more willing to call out our 'partners' who engage in this behavior, as calling out Russia requires no amount of 'courage' at all.
There's problems with that attitude. First, it offers no scientific insight. We don't learn anything about the fundamental nature and skeleton of minds by simply replicating evolutionary processes. It does not grant us knowledge.

The equivalent in engineering would be to throw over trees and rocks in the hope of building a bridge. Clearly, that is unsatisfactory, we strive to understand the meaning of systems so that we can reason about them and alter them in predictable and fundamental ways.

Secondly, we don't know how likely it is that evolution produces intelligence. Maybe we're the only intelligent spot in the universe and it's an aberration. It took 4 billion years as well.

That seems to be a fundamentally impoverished way to go about things. We shouldn't forego the ability to understand minds at a deep level just because we have made practical strides in closed domains. That would be to mistake a trojan horse for an actual horse.
The article briefly explains. The reason is that there is no single metrics to measure the "goodness" of a school -- why would anyone want to swap schools otherwise? The example the article gives is some schools have better arts programs, and some have better sports, etc

When I quit schools at a level that should have prepared me for "work", I left a place that had me running at full speed and flailing. Ever since I took hold in my career on my own terms, I knew that is probably the very elephant in any room I do not want to be in.

There are some stories on Netflix that are single season, or single show. I just watched Anon, it was fine as a single show. A single season show like "The End of the F*ing World" is perfect, and true to its source material.
> Just as you can make infinitely many arithmetic equations by combining a few mathematical symbols and following a small set of rules, you can make infinitely many sentences by combining a modest set of words and a modest set of rules. A genuine, human-level A.I. will need to be able to cope with all of those possible sentences, not just a small fragment of them.

The issue is less about understanding language and much more about creating models of "the world" through observations, and then applying those models to perform tasks or answer questions.

Parsing language is actually pretty easy; "knowing" how it relates to a generalized model of "the world" is the hard part.

> No matter how much data you have and how many patterns you discern, your data will never match the creativity of human beings or the fluidity of the real world.

This is _firmly_ in the Opinion section of the NY Times...

What Google seemed to do with Duplex might seem like a babystep, but it doesn't take much imagination to recognize very real possibility for so-called "genuine, human-level A.I." to -- gradually -- emerge.
Root Cause Analysis isn’t really meant for active emergencies like that where you can’t take time to analyze “why”. It’s a retrospective tool. If you’d like a mental model in your toolbox for an active emergency the OODA loop[0] is well tested.

Early on, I tried to join in the Wikipedia community. After a couple of years of on-again, off-again BS on the part of those with admin powers, I bailed.

This project is not for end-users, at least not for several more years. It's still very very very early days so how it's done is still important.

Bulletpoints not related to rust itself, and that will lead to features/usability/accessibility/"many other things" but are not there yet:

* Client-Server architecture

* Server has core editing logic, and provides a JSON based RPC interface. I forget if it's HTTP or stdout.

* Client can be written in any language/UI Framework that can talk to the server.

* Plugins can be written in any language that can talk to the server.

* Uses some fairly efficient data structures and a fairly efficient language, so it's likely that when it's done it will perform quite well. Did I put enough weasel words in there?

It's a very interesting project but if your goal is a usable editor you should probably use one that works and has an installer/package in the repo.
