> DB will introduce the nre ICE 4 train on the route, which allow bicycles to be taken for the first time and with 830 seats provide 10% more capacity than the previous model.

These ICE4 are the worst ICEs in terms of comfort. They've been reducing the distance between rows over the years, and it is now only 85cm. It used to be 102cm in the ICE1 -- that was cool. ICE2 had 97cm, ICE3 had 92cm, which was still comfortable for me. Now, 85cm is too short to sit comfortably if you are a tall person. The previous models all had good seats and enough space. But the ICE4 is awful. The seats are also too upright and the backrest can only be tilted when pulling the seat to the front, which is impossible for taller people because the legs will have no space. Without this, the seats are so upright they almost push you over. Naps are impossible due to this. And where some lordose support should be, there is a hole. I really hate the ICE4s, I always end up with a sore back.

But sure, there is 10% more capacity thank you very much.

I’m 63 and “old” has always seemed to be at least 10 years than I am at the time. I know people my age may say they’re feeling old but inside we (at least the men) still have a middle school mentality.
But "intelligent designs" work less well!

The only ever work for very specific things. On a larger scale there again is no design anywhere, see for example the economic principles, the "invisible hand". As soon as humans tried to "design" such larger systems it all fell apart (communism - in which I grew up).

No single entity can manage the complexity, unless that entity is the universe ("it models itself") - at which point we have a useless tautology.

This is important to remember. Some people were also openly hesitant to GitHub, but used it anyway due to its network effect. This seems like a perfect moment to reevaluate.
The "snake oil" here is that security by obscurity isn't a real thing. But it is, because otherwise the concepts of camouflage and out-of-sight, out-of-mind and secrecy in general simply wouldn't work. Only they do to a great extent!

One of the funniest things that I've read involved professional cryptologists examining files where steganography had supposedly been used. At the end of it all they confidently declared that there was simply nothing to be found there - no hidden, encrypted information. And I thought to myself "So you're saying that steganography really works, then!" :)

Like I said, I would choose non-standard techniques that no sane, trained cryptologist would probably even consider. (Ideally they would never even realize that there was anything there to potentially decrypt.) And then, in order to play it safe (and because I'm not an idiot), I would wrap my payload in an officially sanctioned encryption technique, maybe even more than one. Perhaps you missed those parts?

BTW, I would never "pitch" my system to anyone else, because then I would expose its existence. Nobody but me ever needs to know that it exists, much less that there is anything valuable being hidden by it.
The difference is definitely genetic. Colorblindness is generally caused by recessive genes that are part of the X chromosome. That means that the proportion of men who are colorblind is basically equal to the proportion of X chromosomes with one of these recessive genes. Women have two sets, so they need the gene on both chromosomes in order to exhibit colorblindness. This means that their proportion of colorblindness is roughly the square of that of men (actually less because there are different types of colorblindness).

Hash table design in libraries is an exercise in minimizing the costs of the worst case, and it's made harder by typically only being able to control one side of the equation - the table and not the hash function.

Thus general purpose hash table implementations need to choose whether they will help naive programmers by doing modulus with a prime number of buckets, or if they will leave a potential performance bomb for people who e.g. hash integers to themselves. The article argues for a third way which is somewhere in the middle: faster than prime modulus, but not as dangerous as bit masking.

It's usually easy to beat any general purpose hash table for these reasons, as long as you control the hash function you can tweak your implementation to suit.
Maybe, but how biased is the population? People in the army do a lot more physical exercise than most, people in jail have a different way of living than the rest of the population because of their circumstances.
I doubt the existence of apps has much relationship to whether people are capable with a spreadsheet, and it also doesn’t control for whether a person who finds spreadsheets difficult would also find an app or a web form difficult. If someone is just trying to avoid tech generally, apps vs web forms vs spreadsheets aren’t going to matter, and to anyone else, decades of ubiquity of using spreadsheet software for badic things would favor spreadsheets. Heck, even a lot of high schools teach basic personal finance using Excel and have been since the 90s (my extremely poor rural public high school was doing this in 1995 for example).

Also the top expense tracking app by number of users appears to be Mint (which claims somewhere near only 20MM users), which involves a great deal of data sharing and privacy questions. If we require a solution that keeps expense data private, it would shift a lot of favor to spreadsheets.
UN report authors denounce claims that pesticides are necessary (2017)
Thinking about moving without doing so breaks the proprioceptic feedback loop that is important in precision motor control, so I wonder if using any device working on this principle will require some learning on the part of the operator, as well as the electronics. This may be more of an issue for me than most people - I find a mouse to be a much better control than a touchpad, which I think is due to having to move an actual object having a small but perceptible heft and drag, which gives me feedback.

Many comments here are sharing their results from using the examples. It's important to keep in mind the examples are trained on datasets that may or may not include data on the examples you are uploading, which means random images or words not included in the training data sets will likely return bad results.

Please keep this in mind when judging the quality of the library....the data you use to train the model affects the quality of your results.

Win+R worked for decades. It is not search, but programs like calc, regedit, notepad, excel went into MRU and autocompleted the next time you type it. Search is a mental stress for me since I have to check if it is 1) completed, 2) which result is mine, 3) tons of Documents/ garbage pops up for too few letters.

There are patent groups you can buy into (with costs being less if you have helpful patents to share) and then use a shared patent portfolio to defend yourself.

It isn't a startup because it needs a lot of resources and the patent portfolio isn't very useful against patent trolls because they intentionally have no production that could be infringing on anything. But I think they also act as insurance for defense costs.
Got you now, misunderstood earlier, sorry :)
I’m not sure if I would say that. Maybe we’re saying the same thing, but I would characterize it more by saying the worst tech debt is whatever is allowing new tech debt in code today.

I think it’s specifically that the worst tech debt is whatever tech debt you are adding at the moment, whatever is changing in the code right now.

It’s the leak vs. puddle analogy. Stopping the leak allows you to stop letting new tech debt get in, regardless of whether existing tech debt is a growing puddle.

For example, when thinking about what tech debt to fix, a mistake I think people make is to focus on a big “systemic” piece of old tech debt that seems to grow because it affects new things and forces you to code around it or something.

But the project has self-evidently been living with that tech debt already. It can be managed. In the meantime if some relatively harmless seeming tech debt continues to creep in through code reviews, that’s a worse problem, even if it’s not “growing over time” in the manner of a long-lived wart in the system.

You have asked the correct question. "Exercise" is a wide spectrum of intensity levels and energy expenditure depending on who is exercising and for what reason. If you are training like an athlete then 8 hours of sleep usually isn't enough.
The time addition makes it very stressful for me, and that makes the game a very different experience than the article's one.

I agree that the ICE is an excellent train, but people in Germany are looking at the French counterpart, the TGV with envy. Where a ICE rumbles quite consiberably at speed 300kph the TGV is still as smooth as the ICE at 100kph. Not to mention the greater overall comfort and better food.

I am not Indian so please take this with a grain of salt.

My senior project was creating a business plan for India. I guess the professor was farming for ideas. The one thing he berated over and over was that due to the multiple municipalities and mass corruption, conducting business between their states is not a trivial matter. This means that there is no group cohesiveness. Pollution knows no borders and I do not think this will be an easy problem for the Indian people to solve due to said internal struggle.

I also doubt that blockchains contribute anything of value for most applications that are currently being tried out, but I also felt that "selling blockchain blocks" was an odd way to phrase it.

It's a bit like someone claiming that a perpetuum mobile is impossible because "movement consumes energy and eventually it will run out". You can't tell whether they have the correct idea about conservation of energy and momentum or whether they actually believe that moving at a constant speed would constantly require energy even without friction.

Economic and political differences probably have a lot to do with the price difference, but another factor is size. Based on the overall difference in geographical size, I would absolutely expect higher shipping costs in the US. That SF to LA shopping cost likely subsidizes the cost of shipping from LA to Orlando (far and moderately expensive) and even the cost of shipping LA to rural Wyoming (closer but possibly even more expensive).

As a country grows in area, a graph between all points within would increase exponentially. So I'd posit that, similar to the square cube law, shipping costs would grow exponentially with increases in geographical area.

Your way of thinking is not healthy for personal development or long-term happiness.

People should not do things to receive compliments.

If they receive a compliment, they may feel better for a second. How much further does that take them?

Criticism should be welcomed, not fought.

If the person used text instead of images, this knowledge would be easier to spread around to people who have eye problems, for example, and perhaps even for search engine optimisation. They'd be known in a bigger circle. At the cost of a bit more effort, perhaps.

It's up to the person who gives the presentation to decide whether this effort is worth it. But they would NOT be hurt by criticism. If they are, that's a big problem.

However, if they never see the criticism, they would have fewer opportunities to improve.

Giving a compliment is giving a fish. Giving criticism is helping someone fish better.

I might have no responsibility for it, but it affects me. If I choose to cycle to work I'll be a second class citizen on the road while people in cars pass me with little regard to my life.

How to find an international remote job
This question is broad so i limit it to specific ones. I live in a middle eastern country and has worked as a full stack web developer in the last 2 years i have seen that with my talents i can earn much more if i worked internationally for instance in a European country , i wonder how and where i can find international remote jobs and how i can best present myself and prove myself to foreign companies to make them feel secure working with me. i can leave the country for one time interviews but i want to work here and remote. this is not a personal question so answers with broader view are appreciated. this is of course for the benefit of the foreign recruiters because they can pay less for the same professional person if they let us live here, because here our costs are low.

Endianness Detection the Hard Way
Eliminating stations is nearly impossible, for political reasons. There are ICE stops that are widely known to be just because an influential politician lives in that town.

That‘s also what happened with this new Berlin-Munich connections. The route makes little sense when you want to connect both cities as fast as possible. The detour only makes sense if you understand that the route needed buy-in from the states in goes through, and it was galling to state governments not to have their biggest cities connected, as well.

But it‘s not just influential elites. When Deutsche Bahn recently mulled killing the IC stop (not ICE - a category lower) stop in my town I was very unhappy. Fortunately they decided against it. But just from the plain numbers I can believe that it shouldn‘t have an IC stop.
Smart Environments Create a Safer World
The biggest takeaway here: surround yourself with the right people.

I find it hard to believe Holmes wanted to outright commit fraud with Theranos. Instead, some combination of startup “disruption” tactics and a crew of unqualified yes men led to a toxic company culture that cultivated lying and, eventually, criminal fraud.

On the first point: There’s a very real culture in Silicon Valley where it’s expected that everyone lies, at least a little bit. Startups will massage their numbers in VC pitch decks, or launch “Wizard of Oz” products that aren’t based on new tech. If you’re on a client-facing team, you’re expected to learn which white lies to tell. Most startups get away with this without a problem, and Theranos probably expected to as well when they came out of stealth mode and debuted their testing equipment. But this process doesn’t work in biotech when it affects real consumer health outcomes; there is a reason behind much FDA bureaucracy, and it’s to protect people’s health. The tech industry could use a better ethical backbone overall.

On surrounding yourself with the right people: The anecdote about the manager who lied about results, was given promotions and accolades, and then promptly quit when it became time to become accountable, was telling to me. First, there was a lack of checks and balances in place to prevent these lies—how was Holmes supposed to know the manager was lying? The board had little technical or scientific background, and it’s not clear that the company set up processes to ensure research was sound. And the most likely reason why? They probably just trusted people and didn’t expect that these problems could happen. The only way to ensure you’re not blindsided by issues like these is to make sure those around you are capable, experienced, and have been through this before.

Company culture is everything. As bad as Theranos is, the tech industry is rife with fraudulent practices and bad apples. I’d hope Holmes’ criminal charges make executives pause and think about setting up processes to allow for honesty and accountability. Unfortunately, though, the mainstream narrative has been to paint Holmes as an unsophisticated crook instead of looking at the systematic problems of the company as a whole, and that means people will keep on keeping on with the practices that led to Theranos’ downfall.
> My other observation was that a lot of the "formatting" that I see in office documents is unnecessary and only there because the software makes it easy.

The problem with that statement is: if a colleague sends me his Word document, I don't care how unnecessary his formatting may or may not be, I want to see the stupid thing on my laptop, preferably in the same state he saved it in! And right now, LibreOffice rarely delivers on that.

I disagree, I find German very clear and as Silhouette explains "They also tend to enunciate more carefully than many native English speakers, so they are usually very easy to understand"

I find the Dutch I deal with always seem to be firmly instructing you. It's not shouting but more their translation where they say thing like "you will do ?????". Hard for me to describe, personally I'm fine with it but I know some people find it difficult. I've not found this with Germans.
