Federal Judge Dismisses Cities’ Suit Against Oil Companies Over Climate Change

This is a relatively uninformed thought/analysis, but I would guess that the US meat subsidies are given to all of the factory farms, and because they only 'compete with each other' and you don't really have, say, an Italian grocer trying to sell meat here, it's valid?

The question from me would then be, do subsidized meat vendors compete with farmers small enough that are selling individually on a farmer's market level? Does the subsidizing occur further up the chain, with tax rebates when purchasing cows?

So subsidized pricing would not be illegal as long as it isn't allowing for predatory pricing.
The judge's logic is sound:

'Judge Alsup said that climate change was an issue of global importance but that the companies were not solely at fault. “Our industrial revolution and the development of our modern world has literally been fueled by oil and coal,” he wrote. “Without those fuels, virtually all of our monumental progress would have been impossible.”

In light of that, he asked: “Would it really be fair to now ignore our own responsibility in the use of fossil fuels and place the blame for global warming on those who supplied what we demanded? Is it really fair, in light of those benefits, to say that the sale of fossil fuels was unreasonable?”'

Companies can obviously only hire employees with the legal right to work in the jurisdiction of the company. Depending on the country, there is a process for the company to sponsor the visa of foreign workers. Some companies do this, some do not. Sponsoring a visa is expensive, and if they do not already have a policy of doing so, you would need to be an exceptional candidate for them to undertake the effort required to sponsor your visa.

Companies that do sponsor visas will usually mention this in the job posting. Look for the words “visa sponsorship.” If they aren’t there, but you really want to work for the company, I suggest contacting a hiring manager or even the CEO via LinkedIn and explaining your situation. Since they aren’t sponsoring visas it’s probably a small company and you can easily find a decision maker. Ask them about sponsorship options and give them a soft sell on yourself.

Definitely don’t lie, because you’re just wasting your own time that way. Eventually you will need the cooperation of your employer to submit the paperwork, and depending on the country they might need to pay real costs to file it. That’s not something you want to surprise them with.
Barents Sea seems to have crossed a climate tipping point
The Netherlands had various high profile cases where the investigators focussed on one or more individuals. This despite it making no sense at all. At least two people ended up in jail for 10+ years after multiple years of being investigated. Various of these cases were shown on a television program, see https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_R._de_Vries#Bekende_zake... (Dutch). It often took enormous effort to get these people out of jail, see e.g. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puttense_moordzaak (Dutch).

I noticed that I forgot the details a bit. It's worse if you read above links. Anyway, you really do not want to become a suspect!

New WPA3 Wi-Fi Standard Released
I don't think this is a huge problem though, as it forces the use/development of things like delivery lockers, last-mile bike/foot delivery, pickup stations, and just generally pushing back on the idea that a car should be able to go everywhere until a human is absolutely forced to get out of the car and walk.

I think cities/bigger towns would eventually (in my idealistic world vision) have major highways/roads that go around them, and have primarily foot/bike/public transit traffic for everything internal.

A billion dollars is still an extremely large amount of money. The market cap is the "market price" of the coin times the number of coins. That's why they all appear so large. The price is inflated because a very small group of people owns a majority. You're only seeing a very small part of it floating. In reality, there's almost no real money at all. As you put your money in their's will come out. Good luck!

Delhi has been banning plastic for a long time but it keeps coming back.
Back in those days 100 bytes was like a huge string; when you raised your hands that there will be a problem you were told to shut up, that you don't get the efficiency of computing and that you won't see strings longer than 16 characters or similar. This Zeitgeist is completely lost and viewing it with contemporary optics is just funny at best. IIRC most of early hacks on Internet exploited the lack of boundaries in strings and returning pointers on stack, which is something the book author got wrong but given how wide-spread it was, likely most of C programmers were doing it incorrectly. With contemporary optics I'd tend to say: "It's purely fault of C language designers!" but I know better.
By that logic, shouldn't gun companies be prosecuted for the crimes committed by the drug cartels who use their weapons?

Given the current state of affairs in the US and the publicly available statistics on gun crime, one could argue that continuing to manufacture guns is knowingly supplying criminals, no?

The GP posited a stance, the parent refuted the _possibility_ of it, I was stating it was possible. Indeed, is it not a quite reasonable and logical possibility?

If the parent addressed the actuality of it, perhaps with some factual basis, ... (Like "when FF did X in past they still quashed Y bugs, introduced Z features" - I know number of bugs/whatever isn't the best metric, but something factual) ...

I wonder what the controlling minds of Firefox are trying to achieve as a long-term goal; they seem to take an opposite stance to the "do one thing well" philosophy.

Interesting aside about doctors though. Many people in alternative medicine would argue that there are obvious associations between various ailments, causes, and/or treatments that are under-recognized and under-studied.

How Social Networks Set the Limits of What We Can Say Online
The situation in the UK with regards to cannabis is ridiculous - politicians and hate-spewing rags such as the Daily Mail have people believing all sorts of falsehoods that harm campaigns for legality. The nonsensical reclassification of cannabis as a class B drug - despite expert recommendations - has also done a lot of harm.

There are some recent signs that expensive, synthetic cannabinoid-based drugs may get licensed here for an extremely limited set of medical circumstances, but I can't see British politicians going any further than that within my lifetime. The pace of change with regards to drug policy is maddeningly slow.
And thus in your disgust you have actually given a case where this convention might actually save somebody time. If it happens to end up being your own time, you ought to be thankful for it. You certainly don't want it to be wasting your customer's time.

I actually recently saw an 'if (x = 0)' or similar get caught in review recently. Time pressure increases, tests are rushed, and authors proof-read the code in their head, and not what's on the screen. These things do happen, and if your personal style preferences get in the way of using a simple trick to save your own time at best case, or multiple other people's time at worst, then you might wish to reconsider your preferences - even if it is at 1 in 1000 odds.

Banning something does not make it go away. Look at alcohol, look at cannabis, …

You only cede control over it. No consumer protection anymore, no age restrictions, no quality assurance, …. On the black market nobody asks for your ID.

People like to pretend that the question is: Do we want drug X or not? That‘s distorting reality. We already have this drug in our society. The question is how to deal with it. An outright ban is almost always the wrong choice to go about it.
When I tried Wesnoth (some years back) my issue was the campaigns would progressively get farther out of balance as you progressed. If you ever continued after completing a previous scenario with modest to heavy losses, you would find yourself in a dire situation. You might scrape through another level, but there was no recovery.

That was where luck became a tempting distraction. You have to keep your best units alive for the next level or be faced with the unwinnable downward spiral. So at the end of the current battle, it gets tempting to save-scum when one of your heroes falls. Its that, or replay the whole battle, or take your chances that the following battle will be unwinnable.

A behavior that breaks how the mail system has been working since forever, and that people expect and use all the time.

> Sounds like a misconfiguration.

A misconfiguration you cannot fix (because it is on the receiver end, not on your end). But the client pays you for the service, and understandably asks you for a solution. What would you tell them?

I understand your points, and mostly agree with them. However, this approach only works in an ideal world where users understand that e-mail should have some limitations it hasn't had for the last 30 years, and all administrators are "good citizens" (they know their stuff, acknowledge their issues and work to quickly fix them).

The real world is different: clients will demand solutions, and other admins will oftentimes be either ignorant, powerless or even adversarial.

War on Privacy, Tor and a Forgotten Hero: An Interview with Shava Nerad
Not just "privacy". I would imagine some judges will issue search or even arrest warrants based on the information ("it's science!"), which might mean in the worst case the police might roll up to your house, shoot your dog, scare your children, take you into custody (even without an arrest warrant if you're somehow deemed "resisting") or even shoot you because they got scared of how you look, you may lose your job because you cannot show up to work while you're in jail, your neighbors will think you're a hardened criminal, etc.

Even if the courts do not convict in the end, a lot of damage might already been done.

The pseudo-scientific hair analysis stuff performed by the FBI showed the dangers of "science" and "tech"[1].
People went to real prison because investigators, judges and juries overestimated the flaky results the sometimes outright negligent pseudo-science produced. I imagine some people were shoot during arrests based on that evidence, died in prison or committed suicide.

There also was the Phantom of Heilbronn here in Germany, where police looked for a master criminal and serial killer for ages (2001 to 2009), but it turned out the materials they used to do DNA swaps at crime scenes were contaminated at the factory by a worker[2]. For years nobody of the many involved in the investigations even considered questioning the DNA results.

So even if the science and tech is sound (which it really isn't in case of facial recognition yet, if ever), wrong application, common mistakes, and misunderstanding the results are real problems.

composite features "discovered" by such a model+inference toolkit.

This kind of "feature discovery" is sort of what random forests, gradient boosting, and neural networks already do. You can even do a neutered version of it with full quadratic interactions of all the inputs in a (regularized) linear regression model.

For a linear version of this task as an unsupervised problem, you will want to look at PCA. The problem right now is not that we don't have enough unsupervised data analysis techniques, it's that they are hard to extract useful information out of. Interpreting t-SNE, for example, is notoriously difficult. This is why I said advances in the space are necessary. As it stands, you can run all sorts of low dimensional mappings and embeddings on a given data set, and spend an afternoon finding a whole lot of nothing that your business analysts didn't already know.
How do I get the second version? I see only one link.

Ah, I misunderstood. You mentioned a $6 CPL as seeming like 'too much' and in my experience it wouldn't be. I've seen targeted data request campaigns hit that with generic survey data gathered from completely unrelated businesses/industries.(Partially qualified warm transfers usually costing at least 4-5 times that) Especially when factoring in the ease of, and revenue gained from financing deals. After accounting for, what has to be, one of the lowest costs for re-possession out of any industry; I wouldn't be surprised if they made more money from loans that defaulted/sold to collections than anything else.

Only if you feel you need to "replenish glycogen stores". If you intend to remain in ketosis, you don't need to re-stock with carbs.

However, when your glycogen stores are depleted, your body is more able to make effective use of consumed carbohydrates (storing them in muscles), so shortly after exercise is probably the best time to eat carbs.

But it's really easy to go overboard.
It also depends on what topology you put on your space, while the derivative operator is defined on all of C^k, that does not make it continuous. In fact as the GPs example shows, the topology you put on C^k and C^{k-1} must be so that uniform convergence does not imply convergence in C^k (which differs from many peoples intuitive notion of convergence of functions) or cos(x/k) converges to 0 in C^{k-1} (which is just plain weird).
The Doublethink is real here isn't it?

I note a similar thing here in the UK - most of the folks working 'gig economy' or more accurately 'single person zero guaranteed hour contractor' jobs are doing this stuff full time and are pushed hard to make a workable living out of it.
It is a bit more complicated than that.

C wasn't much used in MS-DOS, as it was yet another systems language trying to gain the place of Assembly for high performance applications.

In some countries Pascal dialects (mostly TP compatible), Modula-2 reigned, while in others C and C++ were other contenders.

By the time Windows (written in C) became mature enough people started caring about it (3.x), C++ was already having its place via OWL (later VCL) on the Borland side, and Microsoft eventually came up with MFC.

However these were the days when C++ still didn't had a standard (which came in 1998), beyond the C++ARM book, so either you would stick with the compiler framework, or try to minimize language features for better portability.

Additionally on Windows everyone was learning it via Petzold's book, where he takes the approach C compiled with C++, not even "C with Classes".

Also although OWL and VCL were great OOP libraries with nice abstractions, MFC was pretty much a Win32 thin wrapper as its initial internal implementation (AFX) wasn't well received by internal MS employees as not being low level enough over Win32.

So there were lots of issues going on that lead to such cases.
