You can disable images in some mobile browsers (e.g. firefox for android) [0]. That significantly knocks down the size of pages. I have mine set to only load images when on a wifi connection.

If you can use a desktop browser tethered through your mobile data connection, you can use the extension uMatrix [1] to selectively block scripts, css, images, outbound requests, and more. This would allow you to turn most pages into lightweight, text-only pages.

Teaching someone to only 80% might be true on average, but the remaining parts they have to figure out on their own.
But if you have 20 years experience you surely will never train a newbie to that level in a short time and expect him to train others to your level. For certain skills it works, but you just need experience and that happens over time and willingnes to learn.
I think the ambition will be adjusted and it will happen. The realization that will come is that solving the last percent (or five, or ten) of driving is so expensive that it's just not pursued. So we'll have these 99% autonomous cars that will be confused and handed off to a human driver, inside the car or remote. This will give most of the benefit at a tiny fraction of the cost. The race won't be to reach fully autonomous driving, but to reach 99.9% when the competition is 99.8%, because that is half the workforce needed to drive all those confused cars.

If we take "self driving cars" to mean "cars handling every siytuation", I completely agree that reaching 100% without either restricting the area or modifying the driving environment won't be possible within several decades. But my guess is we never get there because no one will make that investment for such little gain. Completely autonomous driving (handling the things that happen only once in a drivers lifetime) will require so much of human intelligence that if you have that kind of AI there are probably better things to do with it than drive cars around.
WRT motive, the fact of whether it was or wasn't beef when introduced into evidence may prove to be exculpatory (if the finders of fact decide that it was justified) or may prove to be further damning (if the finders of facts decide that it was pre-meditated). I wouldn't want the police on the scene to be in the business of deciding what possibly relevant facts in the case will prove to be crucial. Collect, catalog, and preserve the evidence as best you reasonably can in a major crime case, and let the court system figure out what's relevant.

Additionally, if it was beef, there's a reason to look upstream to where the dead man got the beef and chase down those leads.

What's the external/societal cost to them taking the meat to the lab? It's not like the police not taking the beef to the lab will suddenly summon the cow back to life nor that they took the beef and tested it by eating it.

(I'm assuming from context that beef for consumption is locally illegal. That seems a safe assumption.)
Love all the Thai restaurants in the Triangle! We moved from North Raleigh down to Apex a few years back and at nearly the same time a new Thai restaurant opened up less than a mile from our house that's really great. Working at home and having the ability to quickly grab Thai food right down the street is both convenient and dangerous for my diet :)

Augur will probably be used for betting but really it's a prediction market.

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

Prediction markets are an interesting tool for determining the most likely answer or result for almost any question. Some economists hope that we could use prediction markets to make difficult political decisions. Many companies already use them internally.

Sadly there's only one prediction market that's accessible from the US, and it's an academic project with a 10% fee on profits and a 5% fee on all withdrawals. It's also limited in what you can predict or bet about. Augur or some other decentralized solution is probably our best bet for developing prediction markets further.

I really think these markets are the key to overcoming our failure to make good political decisions. It is a wild idea, but I don't know of any other solutions that directly incentivize truth-seeking.

> I would advice against using Chromium on Android.

CopperheadOS had a different take on this, and recommended Chromium for FLOSS-only Android[1]:

"Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox. They’re significantly less secure and are among the few apps not able to benefit from the full set of CopperheadOS hardening features due to shipping their own linker and custom JIT compiler within the app process. The WebView is inherently Chromium-based so using Gecko also means exposing the attack surface of two browser engines rather than one. Firefox Focus currently uses the system WebView rather than Gecko but Mozilla plans to change that."

I don't know how this would scale for any non-entry-level position. Even desktop support requires more knowledge than a random person on the street has, so unless you're willing to spend a lot of money on training every new hire who may or may not pan out, you'd need to think about some qualification screen at a minimum.

I agree that not quite all situations will be covered by coarse locks like this. But many will, and my original comment was meant to draw attention to those situations. Your previous comment seemed to be saying that everyone already knew about those, but I still believe that some people commenting or reading here weren't aware you could release the GIL with just a numpy call.

I did also concede that if you do have to write your algorithm completely from scratch, with no scope for using existing C extensions (be they general purpose like numpy or more specialist that implements the whole algorithm) then yes you'll be caught be the GIL, so I agree with you on that. But I also made the point that you'll be caught even more (orders of magintude more!) by the slowness of Python, so any discussion about parallelism or the GIL is a red herring. It's like worrying that you car's windscreen will start to melt if you travel at 500mph; even if that's technically true, it's not the problem you should be focusing on.

It's interesting you mention graphs because the most popular liberally licensed graph library is NetworkX, which is indeed pure Python and so presumably isn't particularly fast. There are graph libraries written as C extension modules but I believe they are less popular and less librally licensed (GPL-style rather than BSD-style). So I definitely agree that this is a big weakness of the Python ecosystem.
Honest Liars: Dishonest Leaders May Be Perceived as Authentic
OP probably is overstating a bit, but it is hard to efficiently parallelize computation in Python. For example, if you have a large Python object graph that you need to compute over, you can't easily parallize the computation without paying some significant serialization cost. You can probably alleviate that by carefully choosing algorithms that minimize the amount of serialization per worker process, but at the end of the day, all of this is still quite a lot harder than using shared memory and goroutines. And not to mention Go is 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than Python in single-threaded execution... Python is great for lots of things, but efficient parallel programming in Python is _hard_, even if there are a handful of cases where it's not so hard.
Sure it does. I add that companies repo to my sources and install their packages. I'm trusting their keys to install their software. I'm not trusting them to install software they have zero control over.

> People who are given a job start off as apprentices, during which they go through a 10-month job training and life-skills course. Around half the people who begin an apprenticeship choose to complete it and stay at Greyston, and when they do, they’re then assigned an entry-level job–working the mixing machines or overseeing the slicing and packaging of different-sized brownies for distribution.

They pay minimum wage to the apprentices. I can see how a system like that would work. Just being able to show up and do the bare minimum to pass the apprenticeship period is more than an awful lot of low skill workers are capable of, whether due to life circumstances, low conscientiousness or other characteristics that make keeping a job difficult. The population of job seekers for badly paid, low skill jobs is full of the unemployable.

>>Can anyone comment on how settlement actually works?

The Augur whitepaper[1] explains the gory details, but at a higher level when the market creator defines the prediction market and event states through a smart contract, they must also specify the "designated reporter" and the "resolution source". The designated reporter should be somebody you trust (perhaps even yourself) to report on the event using the specified data source.

If the final event state is invalid, then you (the market creator) forfeit your validity bond, which is a form of punishment for creating a market that ends up in a state of ambiguity.

If the event state is valid (i.e. one of the set of outcomes that can be unambiguously determined) then the settlement proceeds.

After settlement finalizes, reporters get their REP token payout, market creators take their ETH cut, and traders who still hold shares corresponding to the settled reported outcome get their ETH. I believe each reporting cycle is still 7 days.

There are some edge cases where an event outcome can be disputed by other reporters in case the designated reporter is incorrect, but the system economic incentives are such that this type of behaviour is heavily discouraged.

My experience when I worked on upstream open source software was that distribution package makers would routinely introduce subtle bugs into programs via the act of packaging. In fact on the project I worked on we stopped supporting users who didn't use our own upstream packages because the number of bugs introduced by downstream packagers was just so huge.

I can't see any real benefits to the Linux approach and never could. It's one of the reasons I ended up moving to macOS. There's hardly any malware there too and yet app developers build packages themselves.
Well, in 2007, my roommate and I split the 4 DVD at a time plan for about $20 a month, so my share was about $10 a month.

For $10 a month at that time I gained access to basically every DVD ever released. There were a few art house type movies that were out of print that took forever to get copies of due to being in others' ques, but for the most part, I had access to all commercially released video for the past 100 years for $10. Adjusted for inflation, that's $12.45 today.

Until the company loses the business with a product more expensive than the competition's, because it requires a bigger flash part to house all this accretion.

As far as the CFAA, you may have a point.

Just checked it out, 100% wouldn't be useful for me. One of the issues with my inability to read is that my mind continually gets distracted by everything and anything around the letters, even in the grey scale mode it induced a lot of frustration. Changes in colour/tone are extra distracting, and it's hard to describe the feeling when you're continually checking in the back of your mind if these extra things are needed/matter. Another odd example of this is that every time the white bubble around the date box on the top of slack breaks a new line, my eye gets pulled there and I have to go back to the bottom to find the text again.

The bottom lines:

1. The valuation you will get from the founders before being hired ("your equity will be worth $X millions when we IPO") is unrealistically optimistic. Even on the remote chance your startup becomes a huge success, you'll see a small fraction of that at best.

2. Unless you have a lot of influence on the board and majority shareholders (you won't), you can't really protect yourself from losing all the value of your stock.
Snap needs to fix their non-standard directory placement. They ignore the FHS [1] by creating /snap at the root level. And they ignore XDG [2] by persistently creating ~/snap in your home directory. I've heard Flatpak is better in this regard.
