indeed, you're hitting what I just described in my other comment. Sorry about that, I really didn't think it would happen this fast (it's not the first time I post this on a forum).

Could also be because American "cheese" is very close in color to cheddar colored with annatto. They taste nothing alike, of course.
It's hard to have soft norms around new things.

"Interference in its elections" is a new thing. It existed, of course, as a thing intelligence does. There was "Freedom Radio," for example. That was an old war time propoganda mission which continued after.

Obviously, there were more secretive versions of that. They may have involved info/intel landing on selected deaks, at select times, that promote one of the US' goals. Maybe there were even journalists/public figures recruited as "assets" in attempt to sway public opinion.

These days though... two big new things are on the agenda. The first is leaks. Leaks play a very big part of political journalism, and did so especially during the last US elections. This isn't just happening in the US, but it's a good example. The second, is social media. Social media is effectively wide open to manipulation. Social Media manipulation seems to have played a significant role in the last US elections. It also plays a big part in any sub-war conflict. Russia-ukraine, israeli-palestinian, basaue separatism... It works especially well during a frenzy (like an election) when there's a ton of buzz, many sources and information/misinformation spreads fast within various social media bubbles.

For example. Take Germany this week. There is an upcoming election. Germany's "alt right" is very active, expecting strong support. A recent murder of an ethnic German by a migrant has brought protesters out onto the street. Counterprotesters. Subsequent violent incidents. Think of Ferguson, for an American context.

Details, photos, political statements are all actively informing people's political stances. All this is happening on social media. Its not hard to impact this stream of information to an agency's benefit.

Maybe Trump would like to see the far right strengthened. Maybe Macron, Erdogan or May do... all NATO allies. I'd actually bet they all have specific dogs in this race.

These sorts of activities (as opposed to eg gaining detailed knowledge of Germany's air defence systems) are/were considered "soft" intelligence. How much damage could one CIA asset writing for Der Spiegel do? That's no longer the case. A a solid social media "operation" could really change political outcomes in 2018. There are no norms for this.

It's also a minor background detail in Mass Effect. If I recall correctly, Turian chirality is opposite that of humans, their food is poison to humans and vice versa, etc.
just an FYI for people that host other people's domains dynamically, there is this Openresty ( nginx + lua + other goodies) module that does this automatically, and you can write a custom allow function to fetch "allowed" domains from Redis storage + store the certs in redis (for when you have multiple openresty instances) : https://github.com/GUI/lua-resty-auto-ssl

That used to be true. The US switched to taking an aggressive captivity approach to its strategically important corporations. That changed when Pfizer tried to flee to Ireland in an inversion due to high corporate tax rates.[1]

Apple, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Google, Walmart, Pfizer, Amazon, Amgen, Merck, Facebook, Qualcomm, AT&T, Verizon, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Exxon, Chevron, Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, GM, Ford, Disney, Comcast, Procter & Gamble, etc.

If any of those companies attempted to leave the US as their corporate domicile (whether to Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Japan, or China), they would likely be blocked by the Treasury. They'll change whatever rules are necessary to maximize the pain. There are a few exceptions to allowing companies to leave. Germany for example, via Bayer, was allowed to buy Monsanto - which is a strategically important corporation - because they're an ally and it's expected that when the US wants to buy an EU company there will be reciprocity (eg the failed NXP Semiconductor acquisition).

Smaller companies may slip under the acquisition restrictions for countries not named China (or Russia). For example AMD would be allowed to be acquired by a tech company from Canada or Britain. Celgene or Regeneron would be allowed to be purchased by Takeda Pharma.

I really don't want to get downvoted for saying this, because I am not a right-wing, small-government person.

But, this chart is literally just a chart of "how regulated is your industry".

Education is regulated/guaranteed by the Department of Education. Prices went up over the last 20 years.

Housing is strictly regulated by local towns and states, and the Federal government gets involved too (most notably regarding modernized septic systems). Prices went up.

Wages went up due to minimum wage laws. Automation, outsourcing, and labor-force-non-participation also went up.

Cars, toys, software, and cell phones all went down in price. Sure, there's industry coordination and federal guidelines about consumer safety, but it isn't nearly as strictly enforced.

I'm not saying it's good or bad that prices went up or down.

I'm merely saying that you can accurately predict the outcome based on the level of government influence in an industry, subjectively.
Tesla roadster was part of what motivated Chevy to make the Volt.

Having spoken to a couple of people working R&D at traditional car companies they tell exactly the same story. Tesla 'forced' them to dust off all those proof of concept tests their labs had done years ago and try to get them into production. Without Tesla those concepts would probably still be in a filing cabinet in their labs.

Full Time Job and Full Time Side Project: How I Stay Productive
Shell TechWorks | Software Architect, Senior Software Developer, Intern | Cambridge, MA | Onsite |

Shell TechWorks is an innovation center for Shell based right on the MIT campus in Cambridge MA. Our primary goal is bringing smart people from outside the energy industry to solve a number of challenging problems. Our office consists of software, mechanical, architecture, systems, integration, and field support all under one roof.

We are looking for passionate developers who enjoy working on challenging large-scale problems. Each of our projects run 3-6 months and can differ greatly from one to the next. We have worked in mobile, web, visual analytics, optimization, machine learning, and sensor projects.

Although we like to use the right tool for the job, we do have some common tech stacks that we have been using:
- ReactJs, NodeJs, AWS Services, C# .Net Core, Python, and C++

Anyone who is interested in this challenging fast paced environment, with great opportunity for growth and impact please contact me (Software Manager) at: cboutiette at shelltechworks.com :)

Jekyll has been working well for me. I have around 190 public posts, dozens of pages and 50+ drafts on my site.

With Jekyll-Assets I work with SCSS and everything becomes minified, along with getting md5 tagged file names for cache busting with no effort to set up.

When writing a blog post it takes around 2 seconds for live reload to kick in and refresh the post (which works nicely as a near real-time preview when writing). A full site build takes around 10 seconds but I only do this when deploying so it doesn't matter that it takes so long.

The only thing that sucks is for whatever reason I cannot get Jekyll to work at all with Docker for Windows which ultimately may end up convincing me to move to a different generator in the next iteration of my site. The devs don't seem to want to address the issue.

That's a great point. The whole tone is "we know he is guilty but traditional policing methods have been unable to prove that, therefore we must have these additional powers to prove what we already know".

What are these mysterious enquiries? Why not follow up on those? If one or more of those victims was willing to give access to their devices/accounts they'd get the evidence they needed anyway.

I (more or less) tend to operate, despite my cynical nature, that everyone's nice until proven otherwise. I genuinely enjoy helping people and providing feedback/mentoring/etc. My brevity is often taken for callousness, but that I spend the time at all is generally enough to offset concision--I do actually have stuff to do ;)

What's more likely: there is an error in transcribing or the developers of one of the worlds largest websites think the first RPC protocol was written in 2007 (over, say, REST, which their entire API is built on).
In-Q-Tel's customer is the US government. It is a VC company whose own funds come from the Letter agencies. VCs have outsized influence on what companies do, being investors (and in In-Q-Tel's case, BIG investors). Saying that Palantir has been influenced by the CIA is not that huge of a leap.

> Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, already deeply doubtful that inroads could be made with the North Koreans, has become disillusioned with the process when faced with the evidence, per NBC.

> President Donald Trump, on the other hand, continues to tweet messages like “we will get it done together!” and “we will prove everyone wrong!” displaying his affection for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his desire to keep foreign policy messaging positive before the midterms.

A second is a massive amount of time in the 100m.

Compare male 100m world records with female:

Most of the fastest women in the world can be beaten by high school male runners.

For example Michigan high school mens third place in 2018 was 10.66. That’s top 10 women’s world record.
Fair enough.

Moving forward with my assertion and based on what others are saying about the Apple testing practices; I'm guessing that this was something that Apple should have caught in their testing, which if true would go towards proving culpability.

Negligence would then be the argument I'm guessing and then liability would follow.

I understand from many other situations it's arguable about whether the company could have foreseen the issue.

Typical breaches like the Dropbox breach which passwords were still hashed and therefore the request to reset the password was proactive. That's an acceptable breach to me and is bound to happen, but negligence such as Apple's or in the case of BA (British Airlines) breaking with known and valid credit card processes should result in conseuqences up to the criminal level depending on the situation.

Sorry maybe my sentence wasn't clear, my point is that we can't be naive and discuss these kinds of scientific results in a vacuum ignoring their misinterpretation in a related public debate.

Quite the contrary, I don't see how it's scientific to draw conclusions from these specific results to the general state of society, something that unfortunately will happen.

The difference is how we use this "communication". It isn't just communication between peers anymore, but part of our digital... self (i'm blanking on a better word). The equivalent of you accessing your google drive wouldn't have been governed by these laws a few centuries back. You'll have a hard time demonstrating WhatsApp or iMessage are used for nothing more than phone calls usually were.

Yes, all changes are tiny/gradual and the huge effect they have in combination with all others can often only be seen in retrospect. That's what makes your "this barely changes anything, it was always this way" argument usually so hard to argue against. But in this case it is obvious how our lives are becoming more and more digital...
A bit off topic, but how does one frame the difference between "compiler level optimisation" and "high level optimisation" ? I can sure make a difference between optimising for CPU cycles and optimizing a QuickSort pivot search, but I have hard times generalizing/formalizing that idea. It seems important to me because it would be needed to set realistic/measurable objectives on compilers.
I don't have an answer for your question, but I believe you've misquoted the article. It was <$1000 for a 1Gbps circuit, not $1000 for a <1Gbps circuit.
42% is minuscule? They have reasonably comparable market caps considering the amount of time the industries have existed. The commercial launch industry really is in it's first/second decade (arguable depending on what you define as commercial, this field is radically changing), and you can trace satellite commercial use back decades to the 70's with GPS and telecom (the first satellite tv use was in 1978 for reference).
I think on the first violation/revocation of bond the defendant was arrested by police (but the defendant was in another county at the time, so they had to extradite back to the county). The 2nd violation/revocation of bond, I think the warrant was executed by police (but in the same county as the case).

> A practical and effective way to escape those attempts is to delete <strike>their software from your devices</strike> your account.

That is another way to do it, but it might not fit many people's lifestyles as well intermediate measures like deleting the app. Facebook is a communication channel, just like email and the telephone, and totally deleting your account has definite costs that vary from person to person. I think it's totally fine for people to manage how they make their own tradeoffs, and I know for a fact that the most extreme action is often more than is really required to get resuts.

Take myself, for example. I'm quite anti-facebook and hardly ever use their software. But I haven't deleted my account because I have friends and acquaintances who still use it for event planning, and I don't want to be either left out or be a prima donna demands special treatment. I get an email notification when I get an invite, and I only log in to RSVP and check the event info.

If automation is being used, the amount of objects being dealt with is probably minimal to begin with.

One thing that is overlooked is that it isn't just a learning advantage that people have over a robotic arm, there is way more input as well. We have sensitivity to pressure, weight and sound - even so people don't generalize lots of physical objects from only a few examples either.

I have a minor disagreement with the "Objective" section. I use mine as a (relatively) succinct window into my personality, goals, and ambitions: mine is a bit silly, but honest, and informative. If they don't like what I say in my objective, they will not want to hire me, and I wouldn't want to work there.

I use mine as both information, and a "gatekeeper" of sorts, and I believe it's saved everyone involved a fair amount of time in the long run. If they like it, and my skills or aptitude match what they're looking for, it's probably a good fit on multiple levels.

That said: it's a minor disagreement. For most people it probably isn't quite as functional--but I'm a unique snowflake ;)

These articles talk little to nothing about the legality of it. Not one article claims that Musk has broken the law and should be in federal prison right now. I'm talking about the general attitude to something that is clearly no more harmful than the drink on the table or the tobacco in the joint. Everyone knows several states have decriminalized it and many celebrities and business people that have even openly supported it.

I'm pretty sure the federal government will do nothing about this, as the resource implications, political will, and the reaction from other business leaders who will look on skeptically at the governments actions over what has already been deemed to many as a victimless crime (with regards to the actual possession).
I don't see it on this list but I think the Hacker News crowd may be the R blogdown package. (Different than the JavaScript blogdown on the top list; ) The main features for me are good LaTeX support (for formatting mathematical expressions) and R and Python code blocks for creating charts, etc. It's great for a moderately technical blog that has equations, data visualizations, formatted code blocks sprinkled throughout the text.

Sure.

1. Go to NYJM and select a bunch of articles at random.

2. Read Hill's article.

3. Observe that NYJM papers are all wall-to-wall theoretical math.

4. Observe that Hill's paper has hardly any math at all, and inexplicably ends with an appendix with quotations about male variability, which is itself longer than the elementary "proof" in section 5.

It's simply not a theoretical math paper. Journals have subjects. NYJM's subject is not this.
Not OP, but they never claimed that what California is doing is unlawful because of GDPR. Their comment is still insightful because it shows an example of legislation that, if applied, could ensure more transparency and humanity to automated decision making.

First and foremost it's unnecessary and is not fixing anything.

Second, it forces learning a new layout and system. I don't understand instead of gradual changes in UI to improve experience they went with whole new thing.

Third, it's slow, bloated, and really hard to navigate through. Old version can display more pertinent information per screen resolution.

In a nutshell, hinders user experience without any noticeable improvement.

Finish product is bad design because initial idea was bad design to begin with (i.e. the idea to fix nothing and break everything).
Dictators don't have all the annoying paper work of democracies so they are a lot faster and more focused, handy if you live in a developing nation. Generally they are focused on getting the dictator all the things they want. Often the dictator wastes money on nice cars sure, but they also spend money on roads to drive them. Bad leadership is often better than none, especially when the dictator wants things that benefit everyone like food and electricity. We think of dictators as one person vs a nation but the many will always win that fight, the many allow them selves to be ruled as they think its in their interest, some times it is.

I live in the uk which is ruled by the dictator the queen of England, technically she can overthrow parliament and in the past when parliament have been seen as corrupt this has happened.

Is a dictator removing a corrupt parliament a good thing? or a bad sign the dictator is corrupt?
