> how would it apply to written school admission exams?

There are numerous examples of how written exams are often biased against minorities due to either using cultural references/vocabulary or to frame problems using metaphors that more apply to an average white person than an average non-white person, so there’s that.
came here to say the same thing! after Atlas' recent backflip video, it doesn't seem impossible! I would guess however that this is actually way harder to perform for a robot than a backflip.

"The raw energy density of liquid ammonia is 11.5 MJ/L,[64] which is about a third that of diesel."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia#As_a_fuel

(Note this is energy density by volume, which is the metric most care about. Energy density by weight of H2 gas is great, but the volume is enormous in comparison.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_storage

Ammonia has been long recognized as a great medium for energy storage and you can generate at the site of electric generation. But the challenge has been extracting the hydrogen from the ammonia. My understanding is that hydrogen crackers exist, but have only been successful commercially at large scale. A portable cracker that you can put on a car that extracts hydrogen on demand from an ammonia storage tank is the innovation we need to see. Apparently there is work in Denmark that looks promising... (And now there is this new membrane technology from Australia.)

Personally, I am cheering for ammonia as a storage means. I am not a fan of batteries found in today's electric vehicles because there are too many conflict minerals in them. Maybe Tesla will succeed mining colbat in Colbat Ontario Canada... But until then, it is probably coming from the Congo or Bolivia.

The user mentioned in the DCMA notice has a second repository containing what appears to be SnapChat source code, which hasn't been taken down.

It's been forked 49 times so far.
As a counter, I had a K95 which started having some pretty annoying chatter (double pressing semicolons among other things) just before my year warranty was up, they replaced it without issue but then the replacement started having the same problem + dead LEDs. Except then it was a few months later and the original warranty expired so they refused to fix/replace it.

Also the keyboard is much to... Advanced?... So it doesn't get recognized when I attempt to enter the bios, so I needed to have a backup keyboard around just in case.
Google isn't illegal in China. Unless you count its current form, but that is true for e.g. European gambling sites in the US. You can certainly argue that Google shouldn't be in China because of Chinese laws, but Google are the ones who made that decision. Which is apparently getting reverted and a major win for Chinese government.
If the data was obtained in violation, it follows that any processing, while not technically in violation, wouldn't be looked upon favourably.

Furthermore, although IANAL, I suspect that certain classes of processing fall under different rules, therefore the processing could potentially be in violation even if the collection wasn't.
What is the effect of this? Apart from some security through obscurity measures that might now be useless, what could the worst negative effect of this be? I can't imagine it could hurt Snapchat.
> What is the alternative then? Let a probable criminal go wander the streets or disappear altogether?

Grotesque inequities in the bail system are merely one symptom of the intractable disaster of criminal justice in America. This problem is tied to many other problems, you can't deal with them one at a time.

But "letting someone go" is not as bad as it sounds. Keeping them in jail because they can't come up with a few hundred dollars from a predatory storefront bailbonds joint ALSO has problems. If that person had a job, they've now lost it. If they have children, they're now at risk of losing them, and the children face an even more chaotic home life. In addition to that, keeping someone locked up is costly to the state.

When google gets big enough in China they will be subject to blackmail by the chinese government when users (anywhere really) cause an upset for China's relations like a single user affirming the sovernty of Taiwan, or critisizing the mainland. They will chill free speech in this way.

Grades are relative though.

I'm not saying the person that came to the proof with 30 mins extra is not smart, but they were not able to meet the same expectation as the other students.

If everyone gets a 50, the grades will scale, and your final grade will depend on how you performed compared to the rest

I've brute forced a few proofs, and if i had done so in overtime, i would 100% stand by my viewpoint that i deserve less points than the student next to me who met the expectation.

In an interview it's different too, because you have not been preparing for a clearly defined expectation for 3 months.

Now on the other hand, if you were to argue for completely untimed exams, i can get behind that. I really enjoyed some of my take home CS finals, and it really let me perfect my solution to the best of my ability.

It really depends on what expectation is set (imo)

Ammonia is also key to modern agriculture; it would be fantastic news if it became economical to create it from air and water using wind or solar power.

When it is, we need to cover Australia, North Africa and the Southern United States with sun panels and start piping/shipping it to the places it can be used.
That's an oversimplification, as adversity is not a binary, and is highly qualitative.

However, to take the bait and make an attempt at analysing it:

- (race/gender-based) adversity in education usually has the effect of reducing your chances of succeeding in exams, admissions, etc.

- (race/gender-based) adversity in professional practice usually has the effect of reducing your chances of acquiring customers, partners, progression within an organisation.

So while she may still face after admission, that adversity should have a much more significant affect on her paycheck than on her medical performance.
I would add to your list, "cheaper". Any drone that can be swarmed and taken down by cheaper drones is probably a bad investment.

> When the Swiss Federal Council has engaged the Federal Department of Justice and Police to draft a revised DPA, which is expected by end of August 2016, it was the decision of the Swiss Federal Council to draft the revision in due consideration of the EU data protection regulation. The Swiss Federal Council also outlined, that it is economically important for Switzerland to be recognized as a country with an appropriate data protection level for the EU. Hence, the revised DPA is likely to be influenced by GDPR’s principles and will likely include largely analogical rules and provisions. According to the envisaged timeline, the revised DPA should be enacted around the same period as the GDPR, which is beginning of 2018.

Switzerland is for most intents and purposes in the EU, minus a delay of several years of applying the EU acquis (EU body of laws concerning countries part of the single market).
have you made your FAA decks public? Would like to see them, thanks!
Personally (and I don't think I'm alone in this), I find it quite difficult to read a codebase top to bottom to 'understand' it. Someone else's code, no matter how good it is written, is difficult to grok without context.

To answer you question directly: the best way I've come across to become acquainted with any project is to find an issue that causes you a problem (or one you at least find interesting), and dig in from there. You'll read the codebase in a more directed manner this way. And hey, you may even find the bug!

Check out the 'good first issue' flags on some of the popular repos you like. Usually they will have a good deal of background about what the problem is, so you can dive right in.

You can completely recover from bankruptcy within 7 years - a much shorter time than it takes to pay off a loan.

More than likely though, it won’t come to bankruptcy. After not paying your credit card for awhile, you can usually negotiate a lower rate.

There are all kind of ways to get around bad credit - co-signers, putting things in your spouses name, etc.

You can also buy a house three years after a foreclosure with a government backed low interest FHA loan with only 3 percent down payment.

I did a “strategic default” on two mortgages and had a short sale. I had an unofficial “pre-pre approval” for a mortgage 34 months afterwards and started the process of getting a house built. 36 months to the day, they started the loan process for an FHA mortgage.

It’s really easy to get a secured loan. I also got a great interest rate on a car loan during those three years. I couldn’t get unsecured credit to save my life though.
Purdue also makes it simple to graduate in 3 years for certain majors (I did, 2015 MGMT) and in-state tuition is extremely affordable. I think my total tuition while I was there was less than $40,000, which included extra summer course tuition to facilitate that 3 year graduation.

While async / await, futures, and the event loop are generic mechanisms, the asyncio module itself only implement selectors for sockets (ok, and subprocess pipes). You can't even do async file system operations with it: you need to call run_in_executor().

Now that doesn't mean you could not implement a selector that does asynchronous UI IO and plug it to the event loop. But the asyncio module doesn't provide it right now, and no lib that I know of does it either.

I credit Anki with allowing me to successfully leap from ivory-tower academic to professional software engineer. I recognized right away that most academics would scoff at lowly "plebian" tasks like "actually learning the details of a programming language".

Except it doesn't work like that. Even if you can afford the bail, if you are found guilty, you're still going to jail in the end. The influence an expensive lawyer has on sentencing is probably a more important factor. Then again, it all comes down to something most of us should have learned by the age of 10: if somebody else gets away with something, that's no reason you should also get away with it.
That's fair, I have worked in a Central London building where the car park is so ludicrously expensive most people who have a space there don't actually have any time to drive places in their own car, so their cars just sit there getting dusty over years. There's some really nice motors down there (it's a basement obviously) from what you can see - but they have an actual layer of dust on them. Anybody with a normal job in that building can't afford to park there.

Still, to make _that_ work London has a mandate for all its cabs and buses to carry wheelchairs, all new public transport infrastructure is step-free, at which point cycling is largely symbolic, I know people who do it but I also know people who live in the centre (yes in Central London, no they aren't wealthy enough to park in that car park) and walk to work and again, it's largely symbolic, like, I'm sure it makes some difference, but compared to the costs imposed by people driving to work in cities that don't have working public transit it's nothing.
Awesome comment. One thing I want to point out to those reading is that the nursery thing is an instantiation of the more general principle of, if you're finding your code is getting convoluted, it's likely that you're missing a noun.

No, but that at least would be interesting, since it would be playing using the same mechanics as a human, and with the same limitations (of the camera, etc). Not using an API.
College is about the whole experience: friends, contacts, travel, opportunities, and yeah, for some, it just comes down to wanting to to go to a place that "doesn't suck."

And that’s a luxury that only a few have. I’m sure most parents wouldn’t get into thousands of dollars of student loan debt for that reason.

I can’t imagine a world where it makes sense to get a luxury car and get in thousands of debt before you have a good job either.

This has its own potential problems. Prosecutors might be under even more pressure to get convictions or plea bargains, since the alternative, if somebody is already arrested and awaiting trial, is that their bosses (ultimately elected officials) have to shell out public money for a wrongful imprisonment case. Not saying the idea doesn't have merit, but all the moving parts and bizarre incentives of this system make it very hard to make adjustments without having 2nd or 3rd order effects that may be even worse than what we have.

There is some really great guidance here and some lovely images.

However, some caveats:

Almost all of the pictures used as examples are landscapes where people are not present or are mere compositional comments. In street or portrait photography, technical composition rules may be subordinate to the photographer's narrative. A better title for the article might be 'definitive guide for landscape photographers'.

All of the pictures use ambient light (admittedly some of the light is stunning, but it is all supplied by nature). Adding controlled light (e.g. flash but also studio lighting) can give a lot of additional compositional control. See [0] for examples.

There is no mention of considering how the picture will be used when considering composition. In commercial photography, the composition may have to fit a specific page aspect ratio, and include empty spaces where text or other elements can be added. Not taking this into account can limit the commercial use of the picture.

[Edit] Another way to get interesting compositions is to use different compositions than the other photographers. Simply crouching down to ground level is a good way to do this. Putting on a much wider angle lens can also help.

Funny how when confronted with an article that gives a clear, unambiguous demonstration of how patriarchy negatively affects women, you come up with two weak articles that supposedly demonstrate cases where women were advantaged (they weren't). From that, I'm led to believe that maybe the opposite actually isn't more common than I think.

Maybe you don't actually think that the issue in the Tokyo medical school was such a big deal after all?
At least with Assange they bothered fabricating an excuse¹. Look at Snowden for a good example of how the USA won't even bother with something like that.

Because it has a generous free tier, that's it. As soon as one does really heavy work with these systems cost start to get extremely high.

Vertical farming. I thought it'd be really sweet to have climate controlled, optimised growth cycles free from parasites in the centre of your city - removing the requirements of seasonal variation, transportation and large swaths of land.

Turns out that the energy requirements for growing even the simplest produce in this way dwarfs the requirements for the legacy dirt based alternatives - even factoring in transportation costs etc.

I still think research in this area is needed - the ability to grow crops in this manner is helpful for a number of reasons (e.g. Antarctic winter research stays, Mars/moon colonies, possible near future environmental catastrophes), but I'm no longer dogmatic about getting everyone on board with the idea.
The point is that you can thing "classic college experience" as a package of two things, one is the skills that transfer towards an occupation, and the second is the self-improvement part. But those are two separate things - they're both very nice and useful, however, the first is something that's a need for people to be able to function productively in our society (and thus we might reasonably want to ensure that a large portion of society gets it), and the latter is somewhat of a luxury, which is nice to have but if we can't afford to provide it (and it seems that we can't, not for everyone - at least if you take not only the cost of education but also on living expenses for all these years while not working) then not everybody should get it.

Spending an extra year or two on growing personally and intellectually costs comparably to a luxury car. It'd also be nice for everyone to literally drive a luxury car, but for most people it makes sense to drive something cheaper and more practical, rather than borrowing and spending that much resources on it; and in a similar manner for most people it makes sense to get practical education instead of "buying" in addition to that a year or two of self-improvement that you can't really afford.
