I think the dynamic is true of many (stable) non-linear systems which operate in a large range (i.e. frequency/bandwidth) of inputs. If there is large noise coming in, the output is bounded, but dominated by the large noise, yet if a small amount of noise is coming in, then this noise is amplified to be a large (again bounded, but still large) output.

One good example is why you begin to hear things or hallucinate after an extended absence of stimuli.[0]

Perhaps an overgeneralization which is not always nice and granted, but it is not uncommon behavior in the non-linear systems we usually analyze.

The EU definitely "needed" it. Aside from France and the UK, EU countries are pathetic militarily.

NATO was originally formed to be a defense alliance of democratic countries against communism and Russia. Russia, while a threat to the United States, poses more of a threat to Europe (for geographic reasons) than to the United States.
I do the same thing and it seems analogous to bad form with a physical exercise. If you are bad at an exercise you concentrate on your technique to improve it, and I don't concentrate much on typing. When I am not concentrating I am also more prone to make mistakes regardless of the task.

The devil's in the details. Depending on the asset and the situation, it may be morally correct to take it, yes.

To give an absurd, extreme example: if you lived in a nation going through a famine and your hobby was watching bread mold, it might be morally just to take away your warehouse of stockpiled bread to let the starving people eat, even if it meant you couldn't continue your thrilling bread-mold-watching hobby.

1) It's taking 4 months or so to get a PW determination from the DOL and then another 4 months or so to get a PERM approval (assuming no audit) from the DOL; and thereafter, it's a wide range, anywhere from 6 to 12 months to get the actual green card - but note that the processing times change all the time.
2) Although there are exceptions and nuances, a green card applicant is "portable" after the I-140 has been approved and the I-485 has been pending for 6 months.

My wife received a job offer from a start-up, however her i-765 application (c09 category) has been pending for over 8 months with no action.

We filed a service request back in April based on the case outside of processing time.
NBC responded saying we'll receive an action notice within 60 days. It's been over 80 days now and no status change.

We filed an expedite request, then faxed the job offer. They are asking to wait until next week. We have contacted one of CA's senator office in parallel, but not response yet.

How likely do you think this will finally go through? And is there anything else we can do? Her job start date is 3 weeks from now.
There are exceptions and nuances but the short answer is no to both, not without separate work authorizations for these activities.

But at the same time I learned tons of useful stuff from running all aspects of that business.

Exactly, and this highlights what I've never understood about echo chamber arguments. You might genuinely like things that you learn from, things that change you. You might like a subject matter that encompasses a huge variety of types of content- for instance if you follow astronomy, and see an article about a new discovery, it seems like more is going on than a pre-existing belief being echoed back at you.

I'm not saying there's no such thing as echo chambers, but there's so much else going in when you engage with sources you select that doesn't have anything to do with whether a pre-existing belief is being echoed back to you.

I have another explanation: the scope of things one considers a problem doesn't change. Rather, each person has a fixed amount of energy for reporting problems, and they will report the more serious problems in preference to less serious ones when they are energy-limited.

I see this with myself with code reviews. I tend to nitpick more on good reviews, not because the (minor) problems seem "relatively" bad, but because I have the energy to report them (and I assume the reviewee has the energy to fix them). Whereas on very bad reviews, I can let a lot slide, because I spend so much energy convincing the reviewee of the most egregious issues with their code.

Same deal with "neighborhood watch": the watchers probably have an idea of the "ideal" neighborhood in their mind. At first, they report only the egregious problems, because doing so takes energy both on their part and on the part of the police. Once those problems are "cleared away" they're free to focus on the more minor issues.

(Though I suspect that my explanation, and the explanation offered in the article, are actually two sides of the same coin.)
I don't think evil is the right term. Arrogant is a better one. I think they really believed that the people in Iraq were waiting for the the US to liberate them and would become loyal allies immediately.

(Full disclosure: I work at Fritz, and we publish Heartbeat).

There are a couple of legitimate reasons that the on-device model is lower accuracy: compute and size. Models are often reduced in complexity when running on edge devices, but cloud-based GPU (TPU in Google's case) models can require far more calculations in order to squeeze that bit of accuracy. As for model size, a 100MB model in the cloud is not a big deal, but having to download a 100MB model on every edge device is expensive in both time and bandwidth.

Outside of these reasons, Google/Firebase may want on-device capabilities limited in order push adoption of their cloud ML services.
That's a really good point, and I can still use it during packaging. Will see what I can do. Thanks.
> A friend of mine made the same comment recently in regards to condemning human rights abuses in Israel. You can condemn until your face is blue the human rights violations in Iran, but there's not a lot the Iranian population can do about it. Israel is a democracy, and therefore (at least in theory) the government represents the people.

The problem with that line of thinking is that it twists perceptions, which can and does lead people to believe falsehoods. Harm can come when those falsehoods are acted upon (for voting, policy, activism, etc.).

To use a little hyperbole: if you focus on condemning democracies for human rights abuses and ignore (to various degrees) the worse abuses of non-democracies, you may end up just delegitimizing democracy in the eyes of many, because you've created the impression that democracies are the bad guys and are the main human rights violators.

I read a good argument in favour of senary on the basis of divisibility. It has nicer properties than base 12 for that.
Personally for time I don't find the convenience of its divisibility to remotely outweigh the inconvenience for addition and subtraction of using a base different to the way we count.

Whatever base we use for counting, and I can imagine arguments for senary decimal duodecimal binary or trinary, we should use the same base for counting time.

You are definitely on to something. I see this India with enormous food diversity. The disgust it evokes in some people for those who eats rice and that too with fingers, or those who put tomatoes in all curries, or never add tomatoes, people who eat garlic/onion, eat meat, eat only vegetarian and so on.

Sometimes it proves fatal when people get killed in racist attacks mainly because of their food habits.

> I think that the 2nd Iraq War was a mistake, particularly how the government mislead the people, but I find it absolutely baffling when people will not even honestly address the situation in good faith.

The justification for the war was obviously fabricated, so I don't know what sort of good faith you are asking for. Perhaps to debate some post hoc justification for a thoughtless decision that was paid for with the lives of people who didn't have a choice in the matter? People who touch such questions are only going to injure their humanity.

By the way, when you think about the question of WW2 in terms of "when to intervene" instead of "whether to intervene at all", it becomes as murky and vicious a question as can be, and it ought to make anyone queasy to examine in close detail the decisions made throughout the period. That said, the neoconservative methodology of deciding who to bomb has no justification and people who want to debate that have more urgent issues to address.

I guess we should agree to disagree :-). I think you should adapt your lifestyle to the area you live in. Here's an analogy: let's say I love fresh sushi. If I live near the coast and a healthy fishing industry, it'll be good and cheap. If I live in Las Vegas, it can still be had but it'll cost me. Do I keep up my expensive sushi habit in Vegas and complain about the cost-of-living? Or do I just eat less of it and accept that there are benefits to being in Vegas that outweigh the more expensive sushi?

Besides that, no $250k-earning employee is living in a shared apartment with a commute to make ends meet in SF. If they live that way, it's to maximize their savings.

What is going on with Argentina? It straddles what would be UTC-4 and UTC-5, so one would expect it to be in one of those time zones, or to be a two time zone country using both of those, but it is actually in UTC-3 (which is why it is all deep red in the map).

According to Wikipedia [1]:

> The first official standardization took place on 25 September 1894. The official time switched between UTC−4 and UTC−3 from 1920 to 1969, and then between UTC−3 and UTC−2 from 1974 to 1993. [...] On 7 March 1993, it was fixed at UTC−3, called Argentina Time.

I can sort of see UTC-3 if they felt it was important to be in the same time zone as Brazil...but I can't even come up with a guess as to how UTC-2 was ever an option.

Typically the Secretary of State for any given state maintains a registry of businesses that is searchable online. The main purpose for these databases is to verify the status of the Corp and to identify the Agent of Service. You need to know the name of the actual corporation to do the search. I say this because some businesses use a fictitious business name, also know as a DBA (doing business as) for branding purposes. In that case, you’ll need to find where the DBA is filed (maybe the County Registrar for a small company) and look up online or perhaps have to mail a request with a small fee, depending on how well funded the locality is.

Hi Peter,

Would you kindly reply to my question?
Very true, in the end everyone has limited time and it's impossible to learn everything. However, I do personally like roadmaps/guides like this since, as a beginner, it's hard to figure out what you dont know. So being able to see a list of what's considered some of the most important/relevant topics is useful in that regard.

Still I totally agree that getting paralyzed is a big problem, it's way better to program something "the wrong/inefficient/bad way" rather than to program nothing. A big part of my learning and growth as a programmer has come from coding something terribly, realizing "hey, this kinda sucks, I bet there is a better way to do this.." and googling a bit until I learn a new/better method of doing X.

OpenVPN traffic over TCP 443 will still be distinguishable as OpenVPN traffic, it's just a little harder.

Normal TLS handshakes over TCP typically look very similar, so if OpenVPN did those, it would be tough. But OpenVPN's TCP mode is basically just a TCP encapsulation of the UDP mode messages, and even with the new tls-crypt option enabled, the packets still contain unencrypted parts that could easily identify them as OpenVPN traffic.

As far as I can tell, if you're looking for your TCP port 443 traffic to look just like normal web traffic, you'll need to use a different protocol.
I think its more likely that the judgement will spread in a highly non-uniform manner that reflected existing social biases with some people being vastly more negatively affected by having their secrets exposed than others.
