>I presume it's Google and Facebook's extremely high hiring bar that you're attributing to elitism?

Yes and no. It's that I'm inferior and stupid for being at a lower tier company than at Facebook or Google. I can see it in every condescending hiring post about how easy it is to pass interviews without seeing similar problems before, switch companies and save for retirement and how nice it is to work at a company that treats you like an ubermensch.

>I've detected no elitism from any recruiters, interviewers, or hiring managers, and I've seen a number of people hired as interns and full time engineers as a direct result of my outreach.

I have absolutely heard of individuals from top tier schools getting easy questions while I got tougher ones, cases where people from top programs and other top companies (like Facebook) getting the benefit of a doubt in borderline situations, etc.

In some ways its even worse than at Facebook, at least at Facebook there isn't a hiring committee after a team match like there is at Google now.
Where are you looking? I don't see any of the terms or icons you're describing. (I don't doubt you, but Google tends to have multiple ways to access every feature.)

I'm going, on browser, to Privacy -> Your Privacy Controls -> Go To Privacy Checkup -> Start Now. On that screen, Web & App Activity has an overall toggle, a checkbox for including Chrome history and data from sites and apps that use Google services, and a Manage Activity link. There's no GPS icon shown, I genuinely have no idea what the checkbox does (that description covers everything I expect from 'Web & App Activity', so what's left if the toggle is on and the box is off?), and the whole thing is sitting right next to the Location History control in a way that strongly implies location data is in the second area.

The Manage Activity link brings me to a further page with searches and app activations listed, but the description still says nothing about location and I still don't see a GPS icon. I can't check specific searches, because I have this feature turned off. (I turned it on to test, but it doesn't update live.) I don't see Activity Commands or See More anywhere at all.

I also found a second, distinct page called Activity Controls from the privacy menus, with the same toggle/checkbox/manage options but a different description of what the feature does! (The text next to the checkbox is the same, and still completely unclear to me.) No GPS icons or use of the word 'location' here either.

I admit that each of those descriptions mentions Google Maps, but they do so in the context of autocomplete and faster/smarter searches. It looks for all the world like this page is about populating my Maps history by my past searches (which I do want) and not populating it by my location (which I don't want).

So, yes, this feature can be turned off. And I believe you that the specific searches have GPS data if you've got it turned on. But I just spent 20 minutes trying to find any sign that location data is stored here other than opening the details on specific links, using Google's recommended privacy-preservation feature, with instructions from other people, and still failed. This seems like a pretty exotic version of 'transparency'.
Just because you have done it before doesn't mean it isn't a shady business model. Are they being notified that they are tracked?

No-one (who knows what they're talking about) says prejudice against the dominant group(s) isn't a thing.

Anyone who does say that is, I submit, either confused, or trying to confuse.

The position, whether you agree with it or not, is "Racism is prejudice plus power". Disenfranchised groups don't have the latter, but they damned well can — and often do — have at least as much of the former as the enfranchised.

EDIT: Or is somehow your position that the prejudices held by enfranchised and those held by the disenfranchised have no meaningful difference in their affects?
See my reply to the parent post. This isn't exactly a "new wave" definition.

Great announcement.

This development was inevitable, especially since most Functions-as-a-service infrastructure was really docker (or some other) containers running in the background, spinning up on demand using a pool of servers. Azure Container Instances launched last year, and now Google Cloud Functions has serverless containers in alpha, along with the serverless addon for GKE/Kubernetes, and there should be a good bit of announcements this year as other providers follow.

The max time limits still seem pointless to me, there should be an option for unlimited uptime so the full spectrum of ephemeral function to entire app can be managed and deployed using a single flow.

Three more data-leaking security holes found in Intel chips
How did you get into this industry? I'm fascinated by the nonchalant discussion that goes into developing animated features, it's been a dream of mine to penetrate the space.

I'm a senior engineer, made my own renderer and software "suite" to go with it as a hobby project for the resume, but I'm not sure what else I can make to get my foot in the door. Do you have any general advice?
I generally agree with you but I disagree with your use of the term "the modern feminist movement." It is not a single, uniform set of things to which all adherents subscribe. To the contrary, "the modern feminist movement" is rife with in-fighting among factions of people who vehemently disagree with each other about what exactly it means to be "feminist" (not to mention their wildly different and sometimes conspicuously absent stated goals). A feminist who belongs to, say, the Beauvoir school of thought has a very different outlook on things than a lot of people who participate in the internet #MeToo movement, and the #MeToo "feminists" may fight vociferously with so-called "intersectional feminists." And so on.
Likely the way you are breaking them is different from what is described here. To do what is described in the article hold the spaghetti noodle by pressing either end to the index fingers of your hands and press inward to create a bowing effect, then continue to exert force until it snaps.

Probably what you're doing is just grabbing a handful closer to the center and folding the noodles.
Years ago I bought a diesel because it was more efficient (and more expensive) than gasoline and emitted less nitrogen oxide. Now diesel vehicles are seen as worse than gas engine vehicles. But switching isn't a problem the people who were early diesel adopters did it for a reason; efficiency so really electric vehicles are the new diesel.
> The HPC community is already used to GPUs — getting people to switch from GPUs to FPGAs requires larger benefits.

It's worth pointing out that some scientists haven't even made the leap to CPGPU computing yet and are still relying upon OpenMP / multithreading on general purpose CPUs, even when a GPU would be clearly superior. Anecdotally, I remember hearing that climate science simulations are particularly bad about taking advantage of new architectures for speedups, an assertion which possibly is supported by the fact that climateprediction.net simulations took several days using all 8 cores on my laptop to finish.

Neuroimaging is also pretty bad, since other than Broccoli [0], most toolkits for preparing analyses don't leverage GPUs, even though I'd wager 80% of the steps involved image manipulations / linear algebra.

FB blows it out of the water for audience/demographic targeting
The same could be said for Facebook. What you're referring to is an irrational market responding to news and creating a sale on an asset. "Facebook on discount, buy now!" If you bought at the nadir of the $FB dip you'd already be up 7% right now.

Yes, those things do exist, that doesn't mean those companies are value stocks. Facebook is still trading at a P/E ratio of 28, and an EV/EBIT of 20, both of which are high. Was it a discount to it's current momentum? Yes. Was it a discount based on value? I'd say not.
In the US court system, a defendant is not required to refute a charge--it is the obligation of the prosecution to prove all of the elements of a given charge.

However, because conspiracy is a separate crime, it can in some cases survive the voiding of the underlying crime, i.e., in this case the purported attempted murder.
America is becoming poorer. It used to be that Beijing had bicycles and motorbikes clogging the streets, and few cars. Now it's all late-model cars, while the US moves to bicycles, motorbikes, and mini-apartments.
I suppose that's true in some sense, but at least string theorist have done some interesting math?

(It may not be math that applies to the real world, but math being math is eternally valid as long as the axioms hold... and sometimes you get surprising applications later on.)
Also, if the car service says, “Our opaque machine learning algorithm determined that you violated our terms of service. We cannot tell me ou how, and your account is closed. You cannot appeal and this conversation is over.” Well you’re out of luck. Hopefully it’s not the only car-as-a-service company out there.
My thoughts on C/N/S aside, all I was actually saying is that "double-blind hasn't reached biomedicine" is inaccurate. It's here, even if it's not widely used (I'd actually guess it's more widely used in biomedicine rather than some other fields).

I'm not actually convinced unmasking is "trivially easy". Anecdotally, as a reviewer for the American Journal of Epidemiology, which is double-blind, I've had 4 cases where I've gone "I totally know who did this".

In all four I've been wrong. In one case, I actually knew the authors personally.

Now, it's possible I'm just uniquely bad at this, but I'm not sure it's as easy as everyone thinks it is.
Incidentally, for many readers of Wikipedia it may be not the language per se that is difficult to understand, so it would have been nice if there existed simpler versions of articles that otherwise may not be accessible to a lay person.
Yes, I think so. I expect the ease of finding those hobbies varies a lot by person, but I'd imagine most people have some good options.

Yes, I agree! Metrics are extremely important in screening out for value stocks. What I'm saying simply is that there is no singular magical metric that can wipe out hours and hours of research. To simply list all stocks by EV/FCF ordered by cheapness will not automatically create a winning portfolio.
This is a function of US business management eschewing remote work by and large, and even further, insisting on locating most work opportunities in more prestigious, more expensive areas of metro geographies (which are already more expensive per unit area than suburban, exurban, or rural areas), than choices by employees to live "a ridiculous distance" from those opportunities. Take away the massive subsidies to the FIRE sectors, drop real estate closer to 10% of after-tax income to compensate for the US' inefficient health care system (then as we wring out those inefficiencies, rebalance the allocations back towards 20-25% of after-tax income to housing), and employees will flock towards city centers.

I've read all the calls for Americans to give up their ginormous houses and lots, etc. That is tone deaf to the dynamics of the business of residential development markets in the US, again excessively skewed by FIRE sector subsidies, with runaway municipal development fees and processes and bank financing herd trends adding unhelpful vectors. Before John and Jane Doe even pull up to the highway exit leading to the housing development, their limited choices were already baked in for them by other, far more monied and powerful actors.

Incentives matter.

It happened with Sarah Jeong, where the feminists distorted the English meaning of the word 'Racism' to suit their narrative that it only applies to those in power. It happened when Linda Sarsour was openly anti-semetic and when her troupe faced metoo accusations.

It wasn't 'feminists' redefining anything, it's spelled 'semitic' and more importantly, you're just pivoting to completely unrelated culture war topics simply because women happen to be involved and you want to rant about them. That's not a great look.

Unless you have optimized your code as much as possible to run on x86 or GPU and still find that you need a prohibitively expensive amount of processing power to accomplish the task, then and only then is an FPGA worth it.

It is literally a DIY CPU architecture. So, unless you know exactly what it is about your current CPU's architecture that is holding you back, you won't be able to benefit from an FPGA-based design.
The Machine will result in different kinds of inequality, possibly worse over the long run.

What I was trying to demonstrate is that classes exist because humans want them to exist. Technology cannot solve a behaviour problem. Through evolution, we learn that a certain percentage of selfish actors in a large pool of altruistic actors is long-term stable, which blew me away the first time I read about it.

Finally, have you read Cory Doctorow's "Walkaway"? If not, suggested reading.
>If we want to be nervous, let's investigate inequality of net worth

And we should find ourselves completely at ease at the end of our investigation, for in every species success is distributed inequitably. Inequality of net worth is a natural law, and human society is no exception. And we need to keep very hard working people motivated to keep working very hard by ensuring them that they will always keep the lions share of their labour's products.

My understanding (from a friend who was a cop, this was in NYC but it's probably similar elsewhere) is that what happens is:

1. Motorcycle makes a ton of noise because muffler is removed / modified

2. Cop pulls over motorcycle, gives them a citation which requires them to go to a testing center to have the loudness measured

3. Motorcycle owner reinstalls stock muffler

4. Motorcycle owner goes to testing center and passes test with stock system, and thus doesn't get a ticket

5. Motorcycle owner removes stock muffler

6. Goto 1

He said that no one ever pulls motorcycles over for being too loud because they know this is what happens, and all it's going to be is a lot of paperwork with no actual punishment for the rider. Cops would have to carry noise meters for them to be able to give the ticket in-person.

Intelligent Design: How to Be User-First When It Comes to AI
I wasn't thinking of blocking specific function calls so much as that data not being available to the browser at all to send in the first place, providing the ability to selectively block mouse x,y coordinates tracking, etc before the code on the page was executed.

Again, this may not be possible without breaking the web given the structure of the browser and what pages need to render at a low level. Perhaps client-side middleware that only passes user data when an action is performed rather than constantly streaming coordinate and interaction data all the time?

Not the OP, but I think rain and especially snow and fog don’t happen that often in those two States and afaik driving autonomously under those circumstances is still an unsolved problem with no easy solution in sight.

Now, if you want to extend the self-driving thing to other parts of the world you’ll most probably need to solve the singularity problem, at least for driving in the Eastern European capital city where I’m currently living where you have to actually “guess” what the other traffic participants will do next: is that kid going against the flow of traffic on his bike? (answer: yes) Is that cab going to cut me off in the middle of the intersection and should I take my foot off the acceleration pedal so that we won’t crash? (answer: yes to both questions). Are those pedestrians going to jaywalk without checking for any incoming vehicles? (answer: yes). All these things happened to me during my short city drive half an hour ago.
I'd also agree that Uber/AirBnB do not really fit well in that comment. These are companies that mostly just serve as middlemen. They could theoretically be entirely decentralized enabling people to genuinely connect directly with other people to offer a service. There are even technological solutions towards avoiding bad actors and abuse. For instance mutual facial recognition to ensure people are who they say they are - when you get in a ride, you and the driver both snap a pic of each other, it's verified on both ends, and off you both go. And all metainformation could be publicly stored in a trustless append-only decentralized ledger.

They're just the early middlemen of budding industries that, in an optimistic future, will not even need middlemen.
The speedy trial right and the statute of limitations are two very separate things.

The statute of limitations is satisfied if charges are filed before the SOL expires.

The speedy trial right provides that a defendant must be brought to trial within X days of charges being filed, unless the defendant voluntarily waives that right. (In CA, it was 60 days when I still practiced crimlaw. Federal law provides for 70 days, but no trial can begin within 30 days of arraignment.)

Most defendants waive the speedy trial right for some reason, usually because their attorneys convince it's a good idea. (It never is. You never want the prosecution to have more time to investigate.)

Well, even if you agree that the term "racism" has somehow been redefined to mean "prejudice + power", it's awfully hard to _still_ argue that feminists don't have more power than just about anybody in academia, the press, entertainment industry and most business as well.

If you look at the studies, they actually show this. There is a small percentage of drivers (something like 5-15%) that always try to drive at the speed limit, even if that is lower than the speed they would naturally drive at.

This is one of the reasons experts argue that you NEED to set the speed limit at the natural speed people will drive at; otherwise, you will have a big speed difference between the majority who drive at the comfortable, faster, speed, and the 15% who are driving slower at the speed limit. You want the two groups to drive at the same speed.

> To be fair, neither does a dollar

That statement is false for a number of reasons, among which the fact that the US taxpayers have to pay their taxes in dollars and thus the value of a dollar is pegged to the value of the average worker's anual income.
We are going after that same middle-class group to start. It is for sure smaller in purchasing power than the US middle class in total, but competition for this market is also way less, which may allow us to grow faster than a roboadvisor in the US, specially if you take into account that the middle class here is growing.

Anyway, we know we will be able to expand from this market to higher net worth individuals because a good part of them are also being ripped off by banks.
