> they will cherry pick my words or "summarize the source" to fit their narrative

They can't show you their articles, but you can ask them about their angle. If you disagree, it's fine to say "I don't want to be a part of that". If they trust you, they'll ask why not. If you have a proper argument, you'll flip their angle. (I have.) If you have a flimsy argument, and they respect you, they'll tell you why they disagree. And now you have a proper discussion, which I find is much more interesting than answering a series of questions.

An important component is to have recurring value. If you're a one-off source, you'll have a bad time. If you can convince them you're of long-term value, now you have mutual leverage.

Related: My understanding (from the book Oxygen) is that our oxygen-rich atmosphere keeps our hydrogen (and hence, water) safe. Free hydrogen can’t make it to the upper atmosphere without getting snagged by an oxygen molecule, so we lose relatively little atmosphere, mostly helium - everything else is too heavy.
I have tried upWork and have gotten a job from there back when it was called oDesk. But I have not had any luck recently.
I think this is nowhere more evident than in the world of games. In my opinion RTS games stagnated and died because they failed to innovate in interface department, outside of a few like Total Annihilation / Supreme Commander. The classic Dune2/Warcraft interface only works for selecting single units and squares. So when any bigger engagement happens, it's just people throwing blobs at one another and juggling group hotkeys.

I think RTS games should be controlled primarily by keyboard, not mouse. Select units of X type by pressing a key, target them at units of Z type, make the command 'attack' by pressing A. Vim-inspired.

It's not surprising that games are chiefly aimed at the least patient people - the goal of publishers is to sell to as many people as possible.
It feels like we majorly lost the ball with PostScript (or something similar). Move the smarts to the printer, and then you don't really need a model-specific driver any more.

I suspect the real story is that per-device drivers allow you to patch around a lot of stupid or wrong behavior on the hardware side, and on the low end, let the host do most of the image processing so the printer itself can be little more than a bag of dumb stepper motors and servos.
I think the real problem in the US is the legal discrimination that goes on to people with criminal records. Records don't automatically get 'spent' like most other countries after a period of time so always need to be declared, which makes it hard to impossible to get a job.

You also lose student aid access, landlords can turn you away from housing legally because of it, etc.

So even if you 100% want to be a normal member of society, you will hit so many roadblocks it is very difficult to do so.
Clickbait. The article is about how wearing glasses help people with decreasing eyesight.

Ask HN: How to start an AI-oriented consulting company in Tokyo?
I've been living in Tokyo for a little over a year and a half on a work visa and have noticed there is a significant shortage of investment in in-house software development at traditional Japanese companies. There is an even bigger shortage of talent in AI. Japanese companies typically outsource software development to smaller companies within Japan or companies overseas. These consulting and outsourcing companies are often started by someone who previously worked at a place like Amazon, Softbank, Google, etc and become quite successful, sometimes with business models of simply reselling cloud services from Google or AWS. After hearing about these people breaking into the market and becoming successful, I thought it would make sense to give it a try myself. I have a background of 3 years combined at Amazon.com and AWS in the US as an SDE, and have been in my current role as senior engineer in AI at a big Japanese company for 1.5 years doing humanoid robotics development. I'd be particularly interested in helping Japanese companies identify and introduce automation and AI into various parts of their business. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
> for it to work there has to be a relationship at stake

And for this to have teeth, you need to (a) have relationships with multiple reporters and (b) provide recurring value. The first makes it possible to close off a reporter who misbehaves. The latter gives everyone an incentive to keep that from happening.

Journalist-source relationships are political. They aren't governed by laws, but tradeoffs and customs.

Having Google shape the web is what is definitely bad.

Every site owner gets to decide what analytics package they use without it impeding their results in the search engines. The defaults that websites adopt should not be set in favour of one corporation. Having Google monopolise every space is bad for the web.

A forest built by hand
I think you know what I meant, although I should have been clearer. I'll point out this "gotcha" style of response is very common in these kinds of conversations and it's very easy to do on people like myself who had a poor education and who's literacy ability is very low. It's normally done as a tactic of bad-faith to brand people like myself as racist or to ignore the actual point I was trying to make - which you have done.

So to respond... I probably should have said minorities both times. Immigrants is too general of a term, even minorities is a little too general, but on average, with the current immigration policies in the west we select both immigrants who have significant social-economic difference to the population residing in the country being immigrated to - that residing population being on average White and culturally European, and the immigrating population being on average non-white and culturally non-western.

Although that said, I understand some minorities are better cultural fits than the average white European so you have to be careful with generalisations here. If our immigration policies were more culturally selective it wouldn't be necessary to revert to cultural generalisations of different races and ethnicities. For example, I welcome educated culturally western middle-eastern immigrants, it's just that isn't on average what we get from the middle east immigrants. And educated culturally western immigrants tend to come from the west.

Would you like to address the more important points I made in my reply now?

The idea behind "tough on crime" is that actually, you don't: A nineteen-year-old mugged some people to pay for food/drugs/I'll-ask-my-caddie's-chauffeur-what-else-poor-people-spend-money-on? Great! We can use them as slave labor on and off for the rest of their life, and the less opprotunities for "off", the better.
The idea is quite fascinating and 'out there'. However, the authors themselves cover several clear drawbacks on the second page:

> We assume that the attacker has access to a compiled (binary) version of the program but not its source code. Although this is a severe limitation (it means that our technique cannot be used to protect open source software), it is a necessary one. Developers are unlikely to be willing to work with source code that has had extra bugs added to it, and more importantly future changes to the code may cause previously non-exploitable bugs to become exploitable. Hence we see our system as useful primarily as an extra stage in the build process, adding non-exploitable bugs.

I wonder if running software through this additional build step would also cause headaches for developers debugging and triaging real bugs in the software.
I don't think I'm a sociopath, but often I use monte-carlo or agent based simulations to help me understand what happens, because writing and running the code is simpler (for me) than closed form analytic solutions. IF I then need to convince others, I guess I can do the closed-form solution (based on the prior intuition), but since I don't really care whether anyone agrees with me or not (I go develop 'engines' in my corner of "the system"), I guess their opinion is immaterial to my/group/company progress?

Do you think that agent-based computational simulations (say of micro-economics bubbling into creating emergent macro-economics) are ever used in debates?

And yet people have used it for ring signature authorization schemes (CryptoNote/Monero) which has directly led to inflation bugs (permitted double-spends) and an inability to have key derivation for secure long lived wallets.

That’s due to Curve25519 having a non-unit co factor. There’s a half dozen other weird properties of the curve chosen for smal efficiency gains or whatnot which also might lead to security holes in any application which is not the single signer or 2 party key agreement use case.
That’s technically correct but in practice it’s about as accurate as, say, assuming that you shouldn’t own anything expensive because it’s possible for anything to be stolen.

In real life, there are not billions of Mallorys watching your stuff constantly. Most people are decent and most of the others are deterred by laws, and the number of people who are willing to help abusers is relatively small.

Just using some real-life examples, think about doxxing or revenge porn. It’s technically true that this data cannot provably be removed from the internet but in practice most people didn’t save it and the ones who did became a lot more covert once the legal system caught up, which means that in practice far fewer people see it. The initial damage may have been done but that doesn’t mean we should give up and do nothing because there isn’t a theoretically-perfect option.
Yes it seems it was C. difficile.

I was on mobile and it was tedious to look. But now I did a search and the article I linked below mentions "virulent strains of the bacterium Clostridium difficile".

A brief snippet
>Trehalose is an extremely stable sugar, resistant both to high temperatures and to acid hydrolysis thanks to the glycosidic bond linking its two glucose units. This makes it valuable for high temperature food processing, since it doesn’t lead to browning as part of the Maillard reaction.

This fellow has been abandoned by a society and by a government that doesn't invest in its own people. It's not a law of nature that no one cares about him (OP's situation would be different in almost any other "developed" country) and what you call self-pity is a natural human reaction to misfortune.

Unfortunately, though, @jl2718 is right that many employers won't look upon OP's situation positively, and it's hard to tell if any will (except @leesalminen, who apparently will). Therefore some strategic non-disclosure of circumstances is advised.
What does Android/ChromeOS have to do with this? Mac OS X is the most comparable and it lets you disable reporting on first setup (not buried deep within one of two different control panels).

And if you really wanted to compare it to Android/ChromeOS, consider that Windows is still $120-200 for a license and still silently tracks out of the box. That just doesn't seem right. How much more do I need to pay to turn off being tracked?
This is all great advice, I will certainly tackle some of the things you mentioned. Thank you for taking the time for a information filled comment. :)
I don't think agreddibe marketers or panhandlers has anything to do with not being social in public. No one just walks up to you to strike up a friendship. That would always be weird.

When you socialize in public it would be while waiting in line together, or asking the person next to you at restaurant what they are having, or asking the person at the grocery store whether they think that product is better.

If you walk directly up to someone and it isn't a natural connection, everyone will always assume your trying to sell them something or bother them in some way.

But in that case, are you saying you _wouldn't_ immediately change the credential you committed? Sure, the possibility of an adversary forking your repo after that commit but before your revision is small, but still exists.

Once a secret is exposed to the internet, it should be considered public and rotated. In this case mutability/immutability is moot though likely there are applications for other, non-credential secrets that are not so easily rotated (like your home address or something).
I have talked to a job services placement place. It is state ran and I am in touch with the IT/Software placement manager for the state of OR. Thanks for the comment.
Okay let (P,k) be a parameterized problem which admits a fixed-parameter algorithm with respect to k.
That means you have an algorithm which runs in f(k)n time, where n is the input size and f is a function only depending on k (for example (2^k)*n). Hence, if your real-world instances have always a small k then you can solve arbitrary large instances. Note that one problem can have a lot of different parameters and not all admitting such an algorithm (unless the world is very different than we believe). Now let (P’,h) be another parameterized problem and you have a polynomial time reduction from P’ to P. Then, this reduction gives you a fixed-parameter algorithm for P’ with respect to h if the value of k in the reductions depends only on h and nothing else.
Some places to look for postings besides Craigslist:

http://portlandtech.org/ - this is a great resource, job listings are categorized along a number of facets (by language, by experience, by focus), they have a calendar of events, and they link to lots of other job hunting resources.

http://www.indeed.com/ - Indeed is my go-to search engine when job hunting. I've found my last three jobs using it. You can create alerts and get emails when new positions matching your criteria are posted.

Also, there is never any harm in applying for a job. Let the recruiters submit your resume for senior positions. Consider roles with "lead" or "engineering manager" in the title, where your experience will assist you but your focus will be more on coordinating the work of your team rather than on your own technical chops. Or, apply for QA jobs, which are often a good gateway into developer or UI/UX roles. There are lots of ways to get your career back on track if you broaden your focus.
People actually fill those questions in with real info? Those types of questions are easily compromised with social media.

These links are misleading as neither of those fines was imposed based on GDPR: The first article says that the fine was imposed based on a national law due to a data breach in 2017 (and says that the fine could’ve been higher now under GDPR), the fine in the second article was handed out based ePrivacy / Cookie legislation. Neither of those are directly related to GDPR, although the first case would also be punishable under it (but wasn’t when it happened).

I would’ve been surprised if the authorities had handed out fines that fast, as they usually need to give companies a reasonable amount of time to fix problems after they are revealed.
You do the equivalent with Go too, it's just much smaller and the norm, rather than something remarkable.
> what's special about r,g,b

Simply that our monitors reproduce images using red, green and blue light.

A PBR engine models the entire process of the light from a scene, falling into a lens, measuring the light that hits the imaginary rectangles that are the pixels of the output image.

A PBR engine can model the light internally as a continuous spectrum using Monte Carlo, integrating paths of weighted-random wavelengths at each pixel.

You could stop here if you just wanted physical accuracy, you got the spectral data. But if you want to see it, you'll have to get it onto a computer monitor somehow.

So, you model a photo-sensitive medium using an exposure function, and apply colour-space transforms to turn the spectrum into just the three RGB wavelengths, in a way that has been measured empirically to be perceptually close to the original spectrum (look up how we got the CIE standards).

This is all science so far.

If you don't care about the full spectrum but only the RGB (or why not CMYK) result, there are some optimisations and approximations you can do because in most cases you don't need to simulate the full spectrum.

Did you ever stop to think that RGB screens might look weird to dogs as well? However, if you somehow built a dog-monitor with only blue and yellow, you could optimize even further. It would be a lot harder to get accurate colour-space data like CIE from dogs, though.

If you wanted to simulate a black-and-white photograph, it would be easier again.

> and why do we multiply them together?

I actually don't think we do, in modern PBR engines.

Multiplying two colours together is done in simpler 3D engines because it models reflection; one RGB triplet represents an approximation of the light spectrum, and the other represents the reflective properties of the material. In every-day language we use the word "colour" to mean both. But they are actually of a different "type", if you will. We say "colour" to both the additive type (light) and subtractive type (material).

What we model is the transformation of our photon path (additive) by the material of the surface it hits (subtractive). In the simpler model this happens to equate an element-wise multiplication (not "just" a multiplication).

However, in modern PBR engines, the reflection operator is a lot more complex than that. The material is no longer simply represented by an RGB triplet, and the operation between the photon packet and the material isn't a multiplication.
