ROBOT won.
Globalists who want the NWO will also exploit legal loopholes in different countries to further their agenda. All perfectly legal as well making them untouchable. Hacking foreign entities is the most obvious example, but it also means global companies can legally engage in corporate espionage to further consolidate their positions. Tax havens and off-shoring profits is another example many many people will be familiar with. Some CEO's are legal moral criminals in a way, but the common theme is clever people have been exploiting stupid since before the time of Christ.

I heavily disagree. If we want to protect as much people as possible we will have to limit the freedom of some users to do as they want because other users will accidentally or intentionally abuse the freedoms given.

Not limiting freedom of the user because they know what they are doing at the expense of others is maximizing the protection and freedom of a small group, not society as a whole.
> According to the CDC there is essentially no risk even smoking up to five a day

No risk or unknown risks? Last I looked into it there was no research on the health effects of smoking < 5 cigarettes a day either.
You mean, someone could now find out how the user interface works and post a cheat sheet with all the taps, swipes and gestures used?
I'm still boggled by the fact that people pay for cable TV service and then accept ads at all, let alone ads at the cost of messing with the actual content.
I was also a bit shocked when I saw how high the Personal Belief Exemption was in some counties. Above 5% unvaccinated pretty much destroys herd immunity. So most of northern California is a no-go zone for people who appreciate the value of herd immunity.

What I have not seen, but would like to, is data for other states.

You need to connect your car to the internet?
The French in the mid 19th century.
Ok, I'll try to post a quick summary.

As a background info. The car was stolen in Austria and 5 hours later stopped in the Czech Republic close to the border to Poland. It is a leased car, so there is also the leasing company involved in all decisions.

Since it seems to have been part of a bigger operation (several cars stolen over the weeks prior) a special unit working on this case got involved (from the Austrian police).

When I contacted the insurance they had me sign a waiver that I will also take back the car if it takes longer than a month to return it. This should have rang some alarms bells but I was still optimistic, after all I could have basically taken a train to the Czech Republic and drove back on my own.

Then it was week after week of people shoving the responsibility back and forth.

The Austrian police wanted to get the car to do a forensic analysis, and wanted it to be hauled back on a truck instead of driving. The insurance company flat out told them no, because it is to expensive.

Then I had to send my key to Poland (kind of ironic since this was the intended destination of the car all along) because the employee of the company that would collect and return it was located there.

After 3 weeks the officer in the Czech police was on vacation (pro tip: don't let your car get stolen during the summer vacation period :) ). The following week the insurance company wanted to know if they can finally collect the car. The Czech police told them basically yes, but the Austrian police had not given their OK, and now the Austrian officer on the case was on vacation.

After the 4th week when everyone finally thought that it could be returned, the Czech DA said the< needed to wait a bit longer because they still needed it for the case against the thief.

Now it's week 7 and I at least have seen my car after it was hauled back to the car dealer where the insurance company has sent an adjuster to check what needs to be repaired (the y have cut the connection to the car telemetry unit and caused a few scratches on the front fender).

I am not yet allowed to drive it home since those things need to be repaired first.

So my expectation if that I will get it sometime later next week, which would then be 8-9 weeks in total.
TBS has been doing this for YEARS. They use every trick in the book, but messing with the timing of episodes is the most jarring. And frankly, ruins a lot of shows, comedy is all about timing after all.

Tip: When you read articles that says "researchers might have..." or "researchers get closer to...", read them as follows:

These folks ran out of their funding and need to renew their grants. For that purpose here's their progress report and no, tech is still quite far away. Watch out for same article title next year same time.

To be clear, there is nothing wrong with this. Some progress takes time and funders just need to know that folks are working hard at it.
1. You're talking to the author.

2. The quoted text talks exactly about separate compilation, like the comments above do. So it's really unclear where you take offense. Maybe read it again carefully?

3. I have championed numba for a long time, and am now happy to jump to Julia, for pretty much those reasons. I have implemented time critical parts of the code in numba, and that has forced me to reimplement a whole bunch of standard algorithms rather than relying on library implementations. Need sparse matrices in your hot loop? well you can't just call scipy sparse. That's the fundamental disaster of numba. You sit in the middle of the most amazing ecosystem and you can't use it.
I stopped reading after:

All your suggestion does is, it adds a layer or two where we hope the NSA doesn't compromise them in case you'd want to use that chain to install and validate Signal.

You can't possibly think that compromising the full infrastructure of MIT or F-Droid, a noisy criminal act with serious repercussions against the perpetrators, is in any way comparable to a MITM against a suspect.

That's like saying "Ok, North Korea has some small nukes, but if they really want to get serious about a nuclear attack, they can always penetrate the White House and steal the nuclear football from under Trump's ass".
I'd say you should stick to your guns - I like your approach. Interviews are inherently adversarial: "are you good enough for us to hire you?", "are you better than the other 5-10-1000 candidates". As a result there's a built-in bias which makes whiteboarding a bad fit.

I've written code on white boards at work, and I've discussed about code on white board with colleagues or managers. It's not the same thing as during interviews. The schedule is never as tight, scrutiny is way laxer and the overall mood is completely different when I'm working with colleagues or even bosses.

I kind of understand why the BigCo's do it (they need a super rigid filter since they have so many candidates), but in their case they could select for people with the best pink leotard on interview day and they'd still get decent programmers, because their companies are in such high demand and they generally already control their markets (software, natural monopolies, etc.) and can afford to pay a ton so the competition would be cutthroat anyway.
Artificial Intelligence Is Coming for Hiring
The problem is that people with power are getting more power and they are getting fewer in numbers so they have limited bandwidth for dealing with issues efficiently. So they delegate everything to people who are on their payroll and who themselves will delegate subtasks to other people also on the payroll, etc... In the end, what we have is no different from communism. There is no incentive for employees of big corporations to work harder because mobility is limited based on who joined the company first.
The only reason for it to be in the kernel is performance. There are userspace implementations already, like on Windows and macOS.

Reverse Psychology, these are phishing attacks where they want to hack you and study your behaviour. Is it any wonder the head of the UK's MI5 Andrew Parker did Behavioural Science at Cambridge Uni?

Knowledge is power and you can not undermine the military in anyway, the military is all about control of the warzone and today you are the enemy combatant, so every asset is deployed against you to control you from the day you were born. If you think this stuff is limited to just hacking computers, consider the fact social engineering is a valid hacking attack vector. Are End User Licence Agreements just massive obvious warrant canaries when considering the legal prose?
Extra hot clip miscellanea №43 – Channel FunnYCubemix (2018)
What's going on in Indonesia? Men are increasingly smoking like chimneys, while the rest of the world is more or less on the same downward trend.

It only being men also suggests it isn't a suddent economic change like lifting tobacco taxes. Some cultural change suddenly made it cool for only men to smoke (again).

Is Mad Men running on every channel?
I was killing time one day at a friends house and watched Die Hard with commercials. The running time is 2h12m. With commercials it took about 3 hours to watch. I stuck it out out of spite.
So, overall, a tiny minority; sure, it's a somewhat less tiny minority in some counties (and a significant one in a few) but those are mostly very low population counties, too.
There must be some sort of machine out there than you can rent in sufficient numbers and load the day before.. and maybe make the guests get it themselves (the breakfast will most probably be a buffet anyway since any other setup would be insane).
It may be my lack of knowledge about optics, but from an ML perspective this seems rather mundane if not useless. Model training involves high levels of parallelism on a large scale for difficult tasks, something I can’t see these optical chips doing. Does anyone have any further information that might enlighten me to otherwise?
GDPR is quite hard on the fact that you must opt in. It can be argued that using the services they provide is enough of an opt in, but the GDPR states that they must explain in detail what the collect and what they'll do with the data.
There seems to be a push lately in UK media of running newstories about "making Britain Great again", just last week we had a story about a new spaceport, this week there is stories without source about EU caving in to all brexiteer demands and so on

All while the country is teetering on edge and could drag down its neighbours into another recession (selfmade this time), the NHS and local authorities remain in crisis, pound is weakening and inflation keeps going up.

It sucks being stuck sort of speak between 2 of your good neighbours undergoing a mental breakdown and self harming

If you like that, you'll love FIPS kernel cryptography!
Made this because a) it's useful to reflect on your values to increase the likelihood of knowing what kind of job/workplace you'd find fulfilling b) I wanted an easy way to share those values with recruiters when/if/before they contact me.

Bank Millennium is a normal Polish bank, with branches everywhere. Their mobile app gives me an instant notification when transactions occur. They even have an Android Wear app.

Irrelevant but also impressive: their app uses fingerprint login and whenever I phone them they talk to me in English without me having to ask.
A closed loop uses the oref0 algorithm, which tweaks your basal levels and therefore cannot react to fast peaks or cause a hypo not easily fixed by having two candies (or giving an alarm if you're not awake). What it does is it detects an upward trend for the last X measurements, sets something such as 300% temporary basal rate, detects the trend reaching the peak, sets a 0% basal rate until you hit the predefined target (for me, 5.5 mmol/l during the day and 6.5 mmol/l at night). Here sudden wrong readings will not cause any harm or danger.

The new oref1 algorithm uses a method called super micro boluses, which can detect a sudden peak or unannounced meal, sees the first jump up, gives you a bolus so it borrows from the basals, setting the basals to 0%. The algorithm works really well for things such as eating a pizza, where you get about 50% of the carbs immediately and the rest + a bit more during the next five hours. So you take a bolus for the food, then when the fat hits in the oref1 will give you tiny boluses.

The latter is more sensitive to sensor failures, so it is on only when you told the system you have some carbs in your body, or if you happen to have a Dexcom G5 or G6 sensor with good noise readings, it will be on all the time and the system knows when the reading is faulty.
Because everyone knows kernel code runs faster than userspace code, right? Er no, because of architectural problems.

Inorganic multijunction devices are very difficult and costly to make, because the materials have to be evaporated into place. Organics in principle can be printed using standard solvents.
I mostly agree with you in regard the positive aspects of its tooling, however there are plenty of libraries in Go which use the void pointer, casting is a common thing and the whole duck typing is based on interfaces which is at least uncomfortable. On top of that Go is slower than C++ but more productive because of the lack of distractions which is why I agree with the "a boring language that's pleasant for just getting shit done".
Mauritania in Africa had the highest number of cigarettes smoked every day in 2012 ( more than 40 a day ) but the number of deaths from tobacco smoking was in the lowest..

While this might be one company's decision, doesn't it seem suspect that they all (Facebook and co.) had done this within the same time frame?
Commenters here seem to read too much into the actual orange juice story and don't seem to get the actual point. I've worked in consultancy for a couple of years now and I've worked with sales people that say: "sure, we can do this", without having a clue and even asking an engineer. These projects, more often than not, run out of time and budget.

If I were the one on the hiring side, I'd be happy to be told that there might be a challenge in feature X and that they'd need to get more information to get a definitive answer. To me, that's what the article is about, not instantly wanting to give a definitive answer, but acknowledging that there may be some difficulties along the way.
It's a widespread problem right now. It happens in waves, and if you go to BMW dealers in larger cities it's not uncommon to see 4-5 5 series missing the dashboard and airbags.

What I don't understand is what are they using it for? Can they upgrade older models with it?
I know, right? Every time I want to read the top post on hacker news I always spend 10 minutes looking for it... but then I realize that HN labels the top post "1" and not "0". So annoying.
Just talk. Have a conversation. There is no point in trying to put someone outside of his comfort zone. You should take him to the very center ot it, and then see how well he can managd.
Any question that the interviewer already knows the answer to is not a good question.
no, there is no software that i know of where you can as a consumer make your i3 an i5 with just a software unlock, that you can get for like 10 eur.

the difference on the base model mercedes c class between getting a less powerful engine and the one that is one level up is like 3.5-4k eur.

that is a lot of money. if i could unlock the bigger engine with just 400 eur i would buy the base model.

manufacturers don't want that, and is one part of blocking the touching of the ecu. the other is also that the navigation and a lot of other things is just disabled in ecu, and could be easily unlocked with software.
"...two managers have now scheduled to have a meeting with me regarding this."

Dude, why's a self-respecting, upstanding person like you working for such scumbags? Tell them to bring all of the managers. Advise them all that the policy is unacceptable and they're not getting any of yo' passwords.

A solution: a GitHub account for company code, with your old code forked.
It just sounds like your code doesn't require more than the occasional hotloop. That's fine then. There is no reason to leave numba.

If you have anything that requires more complications, numba becomes painful. You seem to somehow insist that your usecase is the only one out there. We are actively developing a scientific simulation library in Julia. The prototype was in Python+numba. The Julia code is vastly simpler, and that is because Julia is not "an interface to LLVM for fast loops". It's a full fledged language with performant abstractions, closures, inline functions, metaprogramming, etc. To get things fast in numba I ended up doing code generation (I talked to the Numba developers, it seemed the only way). Talk about brittle, painful and impossible to generalize.

Now we have Julia code, using sparse matrices in the hot loop is easy, Automatic Differentiation just works, etc...

The correct comparison for Julia is this context is C++, not Python.
Then again, it may not be strictly due to /fp:precise - I tried compiling with VS2010 too, and even though it was /fp:precise the bug did not manifest itself.

Perhaps comparing assembly code would have given a definite answer, but since it is so obvious from source I don't think it is worth the effort.
I'd say that I myself making all the judgements caused way more harm to my body than what the computer can do. It is that much better. Before I used to have nights when my sugar was in a dangerous hypo for hours during the night, luckily not causing too much brain damage. Now all of these problems are gone. Almost all of the scary hypos are gone. My A1c came down from 7.5% to 5.5%. I'm 88% of the time in range, 10% above the 8.5 mmol/l and 2% hypos (none of them at night) which I can correct fast due to alarms.
Product placement can vary in how intrusive it is. Reese's Pieces in ET is an example of good product placement.

It's when it's obvious that it's a problem -- holding on the logo of a laptop, etc.

If a character has to eat, drive, or use some real object -- you might as well use a real one and get paid instead of having to create a fake one.
A pathogenic TM6 bacterium with an unusual replication strategy
That's different. It's waaaay less disruptive to see a Toyota logo in the background than to stop the whole show for 5 minutes or show those awful pop-over ads.
I won’t speak to the specific examples in either India or the US, but I will say that when you have extreme support for one candidate by members of minority ethnicities, that typically suggests that the other party is either apathetic or hostile to their interests. If there are enough members of the ethnic majority to reach a plurality, then that party will, and should, win. The fact that they vote en mass for one party isn’t “hacking”; it’s exactly how elections are supposed to work.
All generalizations are wrong. Including this one.
I don't think it does have a single simple cause.

You could argue:

- It was the French colonizing the country and imposing a nasty explotative regime

- The French for refusing to decolonize the country post WW2 and fightning (and losing) a war to retain their colony

- The US for refusing to help Ho Chi Minh when asked

- The US for helping the French

- The corrupt and brutal South Vietnamese regime propped up by the US

- The brutal North Vietnam regime encouraged by the Soviets and Chinese to fight a proxy war against the West

- The US for escalating after the Gulf of Tonkin incident

What.
... and Android Studio could be the only thing keeping Gradle alive, beyond 20-liner build scripts. When Google finally releases Fuchsia, it will virtually replace Android's market share within 2-3 yrs. Because Flutter uses Dart for building apps, it'll probably go with Dart for specifying build scripts as well. Although one of the Apache Groovy PMC is probably busy politicking inside Google to get them to use Gradle for Flutter, hopefully that team won't repeat Android's mistake. Otherwise the 3rd-party app market for Fuchsia will be stillborn.
I don't mind product placement, so long as it doesn't take away from my suspension of disbelief. In general, I just don't mind ads; I mind terrible and intrusive ads, which traditional commercials absolutely are.
yes, not a coincidence

[edit: I thought it might yield an interesting discussion and imho it did]
Product placement, if well executed, is much less intrusive than ad spots.

An ad spot interrupts the story and flow of whatever you're watching while you won't even notice a well placed product (Stranger Things Waffles, for example, are a rather good product placement)
They don't fully understand what they are doing because it's all a bit abstract and has no analogy in daily life. Well, maybe some guy (let's call him Zark Muckerberg) following you around watching you is a good metaphor.

How about ships and planes?

On warships, where will the family live? Will we have extra cabins on them for people's family? The extra load on the ship's sustainability seems like it would significantly increase costs and/or reduce the amount of time between resupplying. I think that's unworkable.

Likewise aircraft. Preumably people's family don't get in the plane with the crew, so they stay at the airfield accomodation? That's often quite some way away from the danger, so it seems that it would just be a big expense and inconvenience with no other effect.

In these cases and with land forces, of course, the family woudn't want to be there, so they'd have to be rounded up and arrested and effectively imprisoned. What a legal nightmare that is! Need some big changes to the law to make that possible. Wouldn't be surprised if it required changes to the US constitution too. Running prisons of US citizens in Iraq and Afghanistan seems ridiculous. I suppose if the choice was running these prisons or just not invading, maybe the invasion never would have happened.

I guarantee that any general staff whose wives & children are in the affected area and who will be there for the next decade will figure out how to pacify the region to the level of a Chicago or Detroit.

Do you have any evidence behind your guarantee? You seem to be saying that the general staff just didn't try hard enough, and that they'd try harder if their family was there. I'm sure they would feel more motivated, but being super-motivated isn't exactly a guarantee of success.
