I appreciate your comments, and all roads lead to me believing that I will have to look for another employer when the time is right. As for 1:1's, trying to communicate with the Manager, did not have any affect, as his only response was that to talk to him and the Senior in the future to avoid this problem. side note, the manager here in question, is not even my official manager, who I've done 1:1s with. The official manager has 1:1's on the calendar but each time the day arrives, they are either rescheduled or their is an excuse, or a question of, "if you have anything, we can meet".

My Health Tecird is not going to help you in the ER in any way shape or form. At best it will be useless at worst it will be wrong.

It is not a complete record, and you will only be shown a summary of medical history not a clinically useful record. In addition the patient may have sought opinions from multiple doctors, any of whom may not use MHR.

The risk to most people who don’t actually need complex diagnoses will be endless calls from lawyers and insurance sales along with a web experience modified to keep them worried about that visit to the doctor about a possible STI last Valentine’s day.
I know TFA is about technical failures, but the deals themselves are also incredibly lacklustre. I was expecting at least the Warehouse Deals part of Prime Day to come through, typically 15 to 20% off all used offerings. This year however, Amazon restricted it to only select listings which translated to a few hundred items total. Very sad.

Hum... The real danger here is the possibility of silently target some people of interest and remotely change a small part of their health data. People could be even killed remotely from other countries before the trick would be discovered. Old politicians or oppositors could be killed faking a natural death.

Even more, any country could enter in a future war, or send soldiers somewhere in the future. The possibility of the enemy remotely mixing or changing the medication of the soldiers would be devastating. In a single strike, somebody, somewhere could close down all the hospitals in the area and the chaos could last for days or weeks. All that is needed is to take one city with one hospital connected to the same net and asking for the password to one of the prisoners.

Are “jets” a good idea? (2017)
I tend to let other people initiate. It isn't because I don't want attention. It's more complicated than that.

I will suggest that instead of guessing or asking internet strangers to guess, you would be better off just asking your friend a few questions.

Some people are just busy. Some people just don't do text messages or don't check their email regularly. Some people have social anxiety.

Etc. Etc.

There can be lots of obstacles to making a connection that have nothing to do with the other person just not liking you. Only you can decide if you are getting enough out of it to keep at it.

You are right about phones. I saw this a lot over the past years myself. I started in hardware back in the 80's when it was all big components. Then, with smartphones, it became clear that most little pocket gadgets of the 90's were obsolete. However, doesn't someone still need to make the phones and computers of tomorrow? Aren't those people going to be paid well since there will be fewer of them? I'm not saying it's not true, it just seems odd that software would be compensated so much better than hardware. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Yes, there is quite the competitive scene. And many streamers on twitch. However, most of the competitive games are played on Voobly. There are guides out there about playing AOE2HD on Voobly.

There is a 60k tournament underway. Tiny compared to other games, but respectable considering the age of this game.

The game's audience is mainly international. Large player bases in china, Vietnam, EU, and south america. The community can mainly be found at aoezone.net. There is a smaller community also on reddit.com/r/aoe2

I wonder how many times we'll impl tls, http 2, aes, etc or how many times we'll leverage libs with C ffi. I'm not sure about Swift's CSP support, but I'm beginning to think translating Go everywhere, except for some of the core (or other asm-level pieces like constant time byte array actions) that may be language specific, may be a better way to open up tons of libs for use. It's a fairly simple and unchanging source language. I know Haxe has these kinds of goals, but I figure the ecosystem is weaker.

I'd had quite a bit of experience in my time with different US accents by the time I hit college. In my experience, I generally don't have a problem understanding anyone I'm listening to from the US. Sometimes they have a hard time understanding me, or don't get the slang or vernacular I'm using.

When I first got to college, I was suddenly emerged in hundreds of foreign accents (for an undergrad school of ~1200 students, I think we had at least 180 different nationalities represented). Hardest for me to understand were the mainland east-Asian accents. I think because they natively just don't have some of the same sounds we use in English. For instance, my 1st semester, I had a Chinese native professor for Calculus 2. It took me a good 6-8 weeks to figure out what the hell "arfa" was (possibly adding to the confusing was his hand writing was atrocious). Finally figured out he meant "alpha" after he wrote the symbol slightly different one lecture (normally in his handwriting, "alpha" looked more like "<" than "α").

Anyways, I learned a lot about how to understand and interpret various accents while I was in college as I worked as a door guard in the dorms, so I was forced to interact with a lot of different nationalities than I otherwise would have. It has served me pretty well professionally as I've been able to easily work understand colleagues from other countries pretty easily (although they cannot always understand me). One of my favorite encounters was when I worked at a hedge fund that had several multinational offices, but had an all-hands on-site IT gather in the US. I gravitated towards the Brits, as they were a fun lot and I got along with them great. I could understand them perfectly, but they could hardly understand a word that came out of my mouth. Cracked me up to no end at the time, but I was eventually able to communicate to them once I was able to sloppily fall into their vernacular. May not have been perfect, but I made contact. Certainly helped cross-ocean cooperation and communication.
Sometimes backs will join in the scrum in order to push their forwards over the line to score a try. It's rare but it does happen and is legal under IRB rules.
That analogy makes no sense.

The proper analogy would be:
You invite a volunteer carpenter in to fix your cabinets. He asks if he can write down what cereal your family eats instead of taking payment. You say sure! (ie agree to the terms of service).

New law passes. He refuses to come back and fix your cabinets for free next time because he doesn’t want to get sued for writing down the cereal names improperly.

You then scream at him and call him names, and try to ruin his reputation on the internet and accuse him of being a thief.

Maybe if the sanctity of what cereal your family eats is so important to you, you should just directly pay money to a normal carpenter next time?
Reminds me of flatland: There are three circular buildings. There's a line that all three people can be on such that each person thinks there are only two buildings and no one can agree on which two buildings are present.

> I suggest paying more attention to cars.

You appear to be suggesting that I'm being hit by cars and not noticing because I'm not paying attention. I assure you, this is not the case. I'm sorry my experience doesn't match your prejudices, but in my experience many cyclists don't care about or look for pedestrians.
> Do you feel the same way about taxes to pay for, say, highways and airports? Or do you give those a pass because it's infrastructure, from which you benefit?

I don't give them a pass. Not by a long shot.

Right now I'm only benefiting from one particular nearby highway, and even then only a few miles of its vast length. Of the two nearest airports (both of which are at least an hour's drive away), I have never used one, have not used the other in at least a year, and have no intention of using either for at least a couple decades; yet I am still forced to pay for them, beyond the length of any "professional's retainer" term that I might have voluntarily chosen. (I correctly predicted which airport usage would be my last, several years prior to it.)

But of course there are others who feel differently - they'd like to have a different stretch of that highway, a different highway, an airport with nonstop roundtrips to Podunk, Alabama, you name it. And I do not wish to quarrel with them.

In a properly-functioning free market, when there is a selection of alternative goods available and different people have different preferences, the result is that the people who prefer one good purchase it, and the people who prefer another good purchase it instead of the previous. Both goods end up being sold to the people who prefer them.

The anomalous situation in any of certain markets (e.g. infrastructure of a given kind; security; morals; laws) wherein people must coercively prohibit the sale of all goods except one, the one to be chosen by all manner of unpleasant quarrels - be they the heated vitriol before an election, or the cold hard bullying might of dynasties and coups d'etat ... it only results when there is a localized monopoly on the use of unprovoked force - also known as a government.

I just realized the influence of Hacker News. I read techcrunch every day and it is rare for an article, any article, to get more than 2 or 3 comments (although, to be fair, they just added commenting in the last few months)...this one got 35 already!

Anyways, I think that this is NOT a fail for Amazon at all, but a major win. They obviously created all kinds of attention! I'm sure they will get it right next time, and maybe, if they think fast, can reverse this situation by offering those who were disappointed a 2nd chance at an even-greater discount...at least that's what I would do.
Calling it future prediction is problematic. We can't predict the future. It's a controlled delusion and sometimes some people will try to override your own reasoning system, and you honestly don't want to give them that power in exchange for it.

It's called inferencing. Sometimes we have so much information we don't understand why things make sense in the order they do. It's not future prediction. It's confusion between information that is relatively predictable because it's stable information with very little variation, plus confirmation bias of being correct about highly variant information we are not accustomed to being right about in a particular order.

Do not call it future prediction. Sometimes you will be correct about things before things happen. That's just chance. If it can happen, it can happen, it's in that space. But it's fundamentally flawed reasoning. There's still a whole open space of things yet to be experienced. That's what existence is defined as. You don't know what you know until you know what you know. It's not magic. It's called experiencing new things.

Calling it future prediction primes you into bias. Which closes you off from opportunities eventually, because you literally stop being able to see things for how they are truly.

Pattern matching brain. Being able to comprehend reality is absolutely vital to survival. Don't get lost in the waves of chaos. People can and do try to take control of confusion.
Absolutely the source matters as well as the contents.

You could ask yourself why the Russians penetrated the RNC but decided not to release any dirt. Perhaps you could ask yourself if this has any bearing on Trump's Russia stance? Could he be unable to admit meddling for fear of undermining his very legitimacy? As a result of this is the head of state feuding with the unanimous conclusion of his (+allies) intelligence agencies good for anyone? Who would that be?

This is why the source matters. Because things are always leaked with intent, and by missing that intent and being distracted by shiny talking points you're missing the whole story. Both matter, equally.
Also they tend to downvote comments that do carry weight, so from this perspecitve, they are not that positive after all.

> Federalism isn’t disenfranchisement.

Federalism is not.

Unequal representation is.

The former does not require the latter; the fact that the two are both present in through US system is the result of a deliberate choice to implement systematic selective disenfranchisement along with federalism, not inherent in the nature of federalism.
Thanks eat_veggies! May incorporate some of the ideas into a slightly larger game. Will have to see if they fit.
I generally eat very spicy food, and I can't even detect spiciness in food that will make other people cough. I ate half a chilli (the body/skin) and found it moderately hot, but the next time I ate the other half (the part containing the seeds) and had to run to the fridge for some milk urgently. Be warned.

For similar reasons that “free” people aren’t allowed to visit restaurants with health code violations.

People have to be able to make informed decisions. It’s hard to tell from the outside if a restaurant is safe, so we have inspections. It’s impossible to tell if a website is trustworthy with your personal data, so we have laws to try and ensure they will be.

You really don’t understand this?

An Overview of Troubling Trends in Machine Learning Scholarship
Agreed, the code is not meant to be a good solution.

This was actually my starting point for an implementation of an "evolution" based algorithm that I wanted to experiment with. I was surprised that completely random models were able to optimally solve the Cartpole environment so I thought I'd share :). Of course I don't expect this to be the case for more complex environments.

I've moved on to MacOS for work and Arch Linux for home but Slackware will always have a special place as my intro to Linux and understanding what actually goes on beneath the surface on a computer.

Yeah, been there done that. I once created a fake neo-nazi like web site with the same name of our Dark Age of Camelot guild. Mythic had a no guild name change policy at the time and we wanted to change the name.

>Could this be an example of crumbling engineering standard at Amazon?

As someone that's been going through quite a bit of depression because Amazon was the best offer I got (as opposed to Google or Facebook because I'm still bad at coding interviews) I'm afraid this is the straw that's going to break the camel's back for me. This is exactly what I was afraid of and exactly what I have waiting for me when I join next week.

Circa mid 1990s, I tried to get my hands on Linux and tried to dual boot to a separate hard drive that I bought with chore/spare job money. Boy, did I fuck that up. Rendered both installs useless. Don't recall how, but had to manually edit the partition tables on the main Windows drive. As long as they had that PC, it never did report the correct partition size in several places...but it booted & worked, so I wasn't grounded. Wasn't really until college in 2002-2003 that I experimented with *nix again, but that was with a dedicated 2nd hand laptop running FreeBSD so I could access OSS VLSI tools. What a time...

Communications keeps being the problem with drone fighters. And situational awareness has always been the problem with air combat in general.

Maybe the next military aircraft project should be a drone AWACS? Design a radar/comms package that can be mass produced at low unit cost, and a drone to carry it, and spam enough of them over the battlefield that if a few of them get shot down, the rest will still maintain surveillance and network coverage. There may be little experience with autonomous fighter planes, but there is plenty of experience with autonomous network nodes.

I think the point there is that an English speaker who learns a second language doesn't suffer the social stigma of a someone who learns English as a subsequent language.

(I have a pseudo-scientific theory that the Australian accent's more piercing qualities are a consequence of having to carry clearly through dense bush. But a more compelling explanation is that it's an accent of expedience that accelerated some of the phonetic changes in British English once a small and socially-mixed group of speakers split off from the main pack.)
