Like you, I don’t worry about it on a personal level.

Unlike you, I do worry about how such a breach of human rights affects my neighbors today.

This is a matter of prejudice and discrimination on a level we have never contended with.

The people most vulnerable are those who do have something to hide. Even if it’s not something I want them to hide (sex offenses are a popular example), I still support due process by a public justice system. I think anything else is asking for tyranny, so I think it’s important we consider those who are more likely to be marginalized.

Some things people might want to hide to prevent unjust prejudice and discrimination against them:

-Unpopular political views: It is in the interest of a healthy democracy to protect freedom of opinion . In the event that we fear their opinion, it is in our own interest that they feel free to educate themselves and grow. Freedom of access to education resources free of prejudice should not be confused with supporting online communities of hate.

-Lower/working class: discriminated against by potential employers, hampering the social mobility possible in our society

-Sick people: discriminated against by insurance companies, employers, advertisers

-People with STDs: The discrimination here is especially in humane. And separately, we should all understand the role that freedom of information and research resources has played in the progress we’ve made here.

-People of color: classically discriminated against by law enforcement and others

-Parents: well known to be targets of extreme advertising

-Aspiring parents: discriminated against by potential employers
Yep. you're right.One of the many reasons why I'm not in government contracting :)
QR codes have something to do with Eigenvalues?
I'm very confused as to whether or not roundup(glycophosphate) is actually bad for humans. It seems that the vast majority of studies point towards "no", with that one lone WHO study saying "likely".
What's unsaid here is that the vast majority of the support interactions are with customers having a positive experience.

Also, we've been able to turn negative experiences like bugs into positive experiences surprisingly often, e.g., by fixing them really quickly.
Not a violation of the Constitution unless government agents searched rooms without warrants or permission. Management of the hotel are bound by local laws and their own policies, but not by the constitution.

Rationale: You can always choose another hotel with policies you like better, but you can't choose another government. Constitution only applies to governments for that reason.
I personally try to read all of my books on Kindle. I take a lot of notes and highlights in my books, and with Kindle I can export those and keep them forever (and also have it be searchable), whereas a book it takes up a ton of space and is much less accessible.

That's partially where I got my inspiration.

Seems like it integrated properly it could be a great component in a general purpose PC to future proof it against changing needs and requirements
We need a list of banks which do and don't track their users this way, or at least allow their customers to opt out.
I actually like shooters because of the emotional hit. It's a kind of meditation for me. I do tough things, get shaken, try to emotionally ground myself.
From Zero to Rich Personal Data with Ease, Security and Privacy
How would the browser know which to block?

`onClick(){fetchAllForumTopics();}` vs `onClick(){sendTrackingData();}`. Both are simple ajax calls.

Even if you somehow managed to know which calls to block, you could simply hack it by calling a jpg with extra parameters and then have the server save those:

`onClick(){body.css({backgroundImage: 'http :// mysite.com/ images/ logo.png?x=123&y=512&elementName=BankAccountNumber'});}`

Memory-less NUMA nodes are present on the Xeon Phi (all non-HBM is on that node), so that looks like a good explanation. I don't think Windows can handle it.
Yea, sure? I sorta agree and disagree but it's a little beside the point.

My point was addressing the frustration with whiteboard interviews. It sucks to feel qualified and still get rejected. That doesn't necessarily mean they all way outclass you (they might!). If you treat interviewing like applying to colleges (3 or 4 big schools, a few backups) you're going to be a lot less burned by the system.

Sure, hate the system. But we've covered blaming the interviews. But that's not helping anyone right now.

As to the model, in my experience if you do sufficiently poorly on one and leave any doubt on another no one interview will save you. Sure you could add in the probability of failing two vs one. But that's numerically the same as just making that .95 a .9. It's a made up number, so what. The conclusion is kinda the same: doing pretty well can still lead to a failure for any given job, but you can still do pretty well in your job hunt.
If you’re proposing a trusted third party, I’m calling it a security hole that might not turn out quite the way you hope
Sure, but then that kind of company starts to look more like a fridge repair business than a "RaaS".
The big ones. Most were not the movie giants and so were probably much more coldish blooded. It is all a bit of an oversimplification. Some big fish (white sharks) can have internal temperatures a few degrees above water temp. There are all sorts of middle grounds between warm and cold blood.
>The consumer gets used to it.

This. You could do 100x more polygon and Ray Tracing, but consumer knows it is still CG.

I often wonder what will happen next? Once the economy of scale runs out for shrinking transistors. We have 7nm, 5nm and 3nm, and may be 450mm Wafers that leads to 2nm. We may only have 16x more transistor density improvements, and it seems 16x performance I still isn't enough for CG production.
Enjoy not accruing interest, people with market investments! Ha ha... sigh.
Hahaha, this is also my long term plan.
I have a really simple question.

Has anyone ever done an experiment to confirm that SR comes into play at ultra-high temperatures?
> Higher interest rates have both deflationary and inflationary effects.

Higher interest rates by definition reduce the rate of money in circulation by encouraging saving over spending (higher cost to borrow money). Maybe in your mind that leads to deflation, but empirically it doesn’t.
Gillig, in Fremont, also makes electric buses in the US. Cummins (formerly Cummins Diesel), from Columbus, OH, makes the electric powertrain. Cummins owns a battery company in the UK.

It's nice that BYD is using lithium iron phosphate batteries. Much safer than ordinary lithium-iron batteries. You really don't want a bus-sized battery fire.
We combine Python, Pandas, Airflow, Postgres, S3 and other technologies to analyse stock market data and create distilled insights with a proven model that has been in conception over the last 8 years.

This is then served over a modern React/Redux UI with a serverless infrastructure hosted in AWS (Lamdba, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB etc).

We develop our software using a Continuous Delivery methodology, e.g. build once, config as code. We use a few different tools for this but Docker stands out as the main enabler to ensure consistent environments.

See the manifesto on our website but our ethos is that active investing can generate superior returns and although this is by no means guaranteed, we can help "nudge" the odds in your favour.

We're currently in beta and it's free (as in beer) to try the software. Happy to have feedback (good or bad) so let us know what you think!
I didn't even see that. I followed the directions in the top section ("Clone this repo and copy the rb file to somewhere in your path (or just copy and paste the above).") (I did have to chmod +x)

That said,
brew install foo
is a normal part of many development workflows, which essentially just curls a file from someone else's git repo.
I sometimes worry about how many Kindle books I own. eBooks are extremely convienent (except maybe the need to consume power to view them), but as this article points out, the ownership problem is concerning. All it takes is my Amazon account getting stolen, or Amazon exercising some right they've given themselves to take the book away.

What I'd really like to see is a push for "drm-less" books, so you wouldn't be tied to Amazon's systems in order to read something you've bought rights to access.
This is right. It's "innately async" in the same way as Node: there is a built in event loop, and just about anything that could block (file I/O, GUI input, etc.) can be accessed through async functions instead.
Seattle and almost anywhere in Southern California are also fantastic areas.
Nope.

I look on the job boards and trusted recruiters emails to see where there is a balance between the number of openings and the pay. I don’t see any openings for Rust or Haskell locally.

Ughhh did I just say “hire salary” instead of “higher salary”.
Not necessarily, depending on all kinds of market factors, e.g. like stickyness of the transaction: how lazy would consumers be about changing out a fridge provider with poor service, or locking in the consumers with time boxed commitments. The slower and more inconvenient the transaction, the more the provider can wedge in rentier profits, and the poorer the market will respond.
When was the last time that you went to DEFCON?
Are you sure it's the medium you're disgusted with?
The bus batteries aren't usually as huge as you'd expect them, I've seen buses with just double the size of a Tesla S battery. It's because they just recharge often, they don't need long range, a single circle is usually 30km max.
I think we just reached peak tech, ladies and gentlemen.
Yup, the most popular Clojurescript React framework, Re-frame, works this way, and even with other frameworks, it's encouraged.
Anyone have insight into how theoretical quantum field theory is developing outside of string theory? Not just high energy physics but also condensed matter physics. I'd imagine understanding quantum field theory more deeply leads to more efficient modelling and computation, but that sort of incremental advancement doesn't get much public exposure.
There are many things I like about Ebooks, but until I can lend it to a friend or sell it when I'm done with it, I'm done with them.

I can buy a used (and sometimes new) paper copy cheaper than an Ebook and when I'm done I can decided if I want to keep it sell it or give it away.

Facebook and other megacorps are their own meta-nationstate built on top of physical nation states.

They only follow the law, kind of, or they skirt around it until someone holds a fire to them. And they can still threaten to pull out most or all economic activity from a country as "punishment".

It is clear to me that there is some sort of regulation that needs enacted against multi-homed and distributed companies. Now how that is enacted across most countries in the world, I don't know. Cooperation seems to be somewhat lacking these last few years.
Bribes, Backdoor Deals, and Pay to Play: How Bad Rosé Took Over
What is more efficient than a diesel engine for long-distance economy cruising? A big European family car like a Mercedes E220 CDI estate can cover more than 1000 kilometres on a single tank of fuel at highway speed, all while carrying 5 passengers and their luggage.
I guess it's a good thing that nobody with kids, a disability, or any other distractions ever fills out online forms when other things are happening in their homes, then!

I have often had my typing of personal information interrupted by my dog coming up and pushing my hand while I'm typing. Guess I wouldn't be able to apply for a loan from these people. Sheesh. What useless poppycock.
At least the article indicates what kind of prediction there is :

>>> He cautions that this should not be seen as a prediction that Europe will definitely have more heatwaves, the US more forest fires, South Africa more drought or the Arctic more ice melt. The likelihood of these events will increase, but his model is on a broad global scale. It does not predict which part of the world will experience warming or in which season.
Right, but it doesn't seem like a fridge vendor would be a monopoly. It would be a competitive market where power consumption would be an attribute consumers consider.
There is always cryptocurrencies for stuff like this.
Burning it elsewhere might not help when it comes to CO2 emissions (though if it ends up being burned in a much more efficient engine/powerplan, at least you get more useful work out of it), but it can help a lot when it comes to health[1]. Diesel is particularly dirty, and burning it in densely populated areas should definitely be phased out. Long-haul trucking might make sense, but buses and garbage trucks should at the very least run on hybrid natural gas, until they are electric.

There are cool electric buses running in the streets of Minsk, Belarus since a couple of years. IIRC, they have nikel-iron batteries with have limited capacity but good lifetime, and they recharge quickly. An electric bus runs for 30-40 min from terminus to terminus, then charges for 10 min from trolley power lines.

Pretty neat, especially considering that nickel and iron are extracted in nearby Russia and are much cheaper than lithium.
Diesel will be with us for a very long time yet, even if all diesel buses were to be swapped for electric.

-- Diesel locomotives (train engines) and many ships use diesel generators to power electric motors -- this setup is useful for applications where high torque is required at low RPMs (even down to 0 RPM)

-- Many grid support power plants use diesel generators (especially for emergency backup)

-- Diesel-powered trucks, tractors, and heavy equipment

-- Military vehicles
I have an degree in mechanical engineering and our teachers always reminded us that worst case scenario for our work is a collapsing bridge.
Exactly. You are in a country where guns are freely available. You have to live with this kind of things.
Yeah I was trying to parse this too, if my fridge SP was awful in all the ways mentioned, wouldn't I be looking at the competition, especially now that it's easy to cancel a contract and get a better one so easily - instead of paying $1k for a new fridge.

Cool, thanks for the hint! I'm new here so that's very helpful.
The same is true also for eth and many other cryptocurrencies. The only thing that changes is how from a point (public key) you derive the final address, and which alphabet you use to encode it in a readable form.
That's very motivating, thank you!
"They caution the results are only in laboratory conditions and advise further research is needed to better understand the long-term health impact - the changes recorded took place only over 48 hours."
Assuming you buy it in the first place and you buy the storage/server and you pay for the backup then it isn't free. I just switched to Apple Music so I don't have to deal with all that stuff.
The system needs to be right one time only. You cannot afford to make a mistake and odds are stacked against you. You cannot do that unless you are wanted for xx years of jail, otherwise it's too big of a burden...day after day.

Plus, they'll know by your smartphone (pay, map++ apps) where you are. Merge the data and there you go.

> the barter theory is implicit in for instance theories of banking, inflation and the money supply

No it isn't. (There isn't a single theory for any of banking, inflation or monetary theory.) If anything, modern economics starts with the fiction of a perfectly liquid medium of exchange that can be infinitesimally divided, borrowed and loaned. Low-liquidity economics (e.g. bartering) is an edge case to modern theories.
Well, since 1453.
The first place to phase it out of is densely populated areas, because of all the particulate matter pollution which is particularly bad for people's health:

Malware can record behavioral user data from a compromised device then replay/modify to simulate the human on that device or another. Yet another arms race for black marketable behavioral "signatures".
Do they want lawsuits? Because that's how you get lawsuits.
>In a multi-threaded CPU, it's likely that the operation may be interrupted or delayed because of another process using the same resourt.

If you're considering an FPGA, isn't the alternative likely bare-metal CPU programming? In that case, you have just as much control over thread scheduling as you do over FPGA timing don't you?

Even ignoring that knowing where you click is as simple as knowing what feature you use. If you login then I know you clicked login, if you perform a search then I know you clicked on the search input. Usage of an element tells you where a user clicks. It misses things like clicking on whitespace or where your cursor traverses.

Absolutely, I can respect that! Didn't mean to take it out of that context.
Based on what you've described (not familiar with data structure/CS algorithm) the answer is very simple - you can't prepare in a week. Don't do it.

Tell the recruiter you need a month to prepare or they will have to skip the CS basic screen for you in order to fast forward the process. If you're one of these niche developers (python/C++), you might have a little power when it comes to asking you the right questions. Same goes when a company originally contacted you, you're in a position of power.
Electric is more efficient/cleaner than that. You might not get the same range, but realistically, few people drive that far without stopping (biological needs, taking a break, etc), so that provides time for fast-charging.

Exactly this. I'm a landlord, and I can't tell you how poorly some people will treat your appliances and other interior household components.

I'm not going to put a Bosch dishwasher in when someone is going to let their kid sit on the door while it's open, not maintain it properly (cleaning out the drain screen monthly), and so on. Maybe some tenants will, but most do not. I make sure to pay for the extended warranty, and my credit card tops the warranty up some more, because one service call is more expensive (and it's built into the cost of the rent). Something breaks? I file a warranty claim or service call, schedule it with the tenant, and move on with my day. My tenants are entitled to working appliances, not fancy appliances. If those appliances are durable and long lasting, bonus.
Serverless Docker Beta
True, it's not nearly as dirty as real-world phone calls. Even when cross talk is not an issue, e.g. in voice mails, results on eval2000 are not representative of the performance.
>Glad to see it's not as bad as smoking (a low bar) but will still kill you.

I think inhaling anything into your lungs will probably affect them negatively. But it wouldn't surprise me if vaping was healthier than LA (or Beijing) air. Everything in moderation.
Theres an interesting book about this “I am a Strange Loop” written by Douglas Hofstadter
You have two options: pay a premium for a durable fridge that needs less/no maintenance or send out your staff to perform regular maintenance. It's more or less what the tenant is paying for when you rent your appliances.
IIRC, they run on the same kernel with different licensing enforcement. And this is not a server CPU, at least as much as Windows 10 is not a server OS, meaning that it's not marketed as such.
>Diesel is particularly dirty, and burning it in densely populated areas should definitely be phased out.

The latest EU diesel standards for passenger cars are actually on par with the gasoline standards. Don't know what the standards are for heavy trucks though.
Maybe they can create something new out of Diesel?
Working at FB, +1 to all of this.

Personally I find that I can get a lot more useful signal from simple practical problems (eg "take a .txt file as input, modify all the words which contain the letter 'q' to be uppercase, write the results to a new file") which have a lot of room for expansion (What if we instead want to capitalise each word where the word after it contains a 'q'? What if we only want to modify the third instance of each word? What if the .txt file is too large for RAM? What if a single 'word' is too large for ram and the letter q is right at the end of the word?) -- starting out with something that any programmer should be able to solve in one or two minutes, and then cranking up the difficulty; adding in bits where a strong algorithmic coder has an opportunity to come up with a more efficient solution, but it isn't just a binary "has the candidate memorised the appropriate algorithm yes/no?".

(Example question made up off the top of my head because NDA, I haven't actually given much throught as to if it's a good question or not, just giving an example of "question which starts simple and then you can add complexity on top")
This article reminded me of this incident at th Pride march in London this year: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/anti-trans-p...

tl;dr - lesbians were campaigning against trans people. At a Pride march.

Sad as it is, as a white middle-class cis straight male it is relieving to know that it is not solely people like me that responsible for #MeToo (as is sometimes implied in the media), but that actually the "minority groups" are equally capable of being idiots too... <sigh>

I dont disagree that there is still a lot of unconscious bias and unearned power/respect/influence that white middle-class cis straight men wield though. Just saying that it seems that we're not the only "problem group" and I think that is worth remembering when it comes to the rhetoric et al
The feds did ban Furbies from secure facilities.
You said above that you have set LNH for a T3 writing out the obvious solution to your question. The problem is that optimizing that solution comes one of two ways:

1. having seen the specific class of problem before and knowing, as you're writing that solution, to stop and switch to the class of solution you've seen before that would solve the problem more efficiently, or

2. finishing the obvious, poorly performing solution and then optimizing it like an real engineer would do. The problem is that there's not going to be enough time for this to occur in the interview session. The act of writing out the poorly performing solution will consume the entire session.

Therefore, the only way someone would have passed your interview question would have been if they had seen this class of problem before.
