Could be wrong but my understanding is the issue preventing repair is the expense in getting to the Hubble.

So whether it's via robot or human spacewalk (though a manned operation is even more expensive obviously) the issue is the prohibitive expense of getting to the Hubble to fix it.

Unlikely. And Silicon Valley is not about guys with laptops creating some websites. It is all about high tech, top universities, supply chains and synergy effects. You may be able to to a technology heavy start-up in the UK, Germany, China, Japan, Korea but in Portugal this is difficult. You lack the industrial supply chain of customized high tech products. Just working on your laptop you can also do in Kenya (which actually is quite innovative in IT).
While I admire the author for describing this process, his tone about "reverse-engineering" this and short circuiting the entire process might be a mistake. Just because he managed to do it without being an exceptional researcher and so on doesn't mean others who apply for EB1 are the same way.

But this brings unwanted attention to the program in a negative way in an already hostile environment for non americans. I don't see how this article leads to any good - only harm. And I'm not even worried about this bringing unwanted attention to author's own case which it might.
5% is actually extremely impressive. I do not think there will be a "zero" car with the current understanding of physics and materials (maybe a new super material can be developed. A non-newtonian interface would be awesome to see). The amount of kinect energy a car has is absolutely absurd. The energy has to go somewhere and redirecting it away from the occupants is not an easy task.

Machine Learning Algorithms: Everything You Need to Know
Yeah, that seems to be how the media writes stories now. They overhear a friend of theirs mention something (or maybe somehow dream up the idea on their own), say "gee, that'd make a good article!", find 2 or 3 individual examples, preferably anecdotes, so they can pad the article length and make it seem legitimate, don't bother trying to show evidence for their hypothesis with any facts (or find some tangential fact about something else that they can invent some sort of bridge between that and their idea), and write the article. If the headline can be more salacious, the better.

I keep seeing more and more articles written this way nowadays. It gets really annoying to see an interesting headline, click it hoping to read a good argument for their case, and then feeling I just wasted my time.

Of course its legal by laws of the place where it happens. That's why EU has some issue with some of its members like Ireland, or Luxembourg.

Hiding usually means just avoiding paying most of the income taxes (ie 5% instead of 40% or even much more in places like Scandinavia). In most countries, tax brackets for really high incomes are just ridiculously high, so everybody seeks to pay less taxes while staying legal. Taxes are a sinkhole from rich payer's perspective - you get back very little and you pay a lot.

It's like expecting common Joe not claiming some tax breaks he is entitled to. Why on earth would he not do it?
This. For every stupid situation made worse by a cop there was some self-righteous jerk that called them there.

That said, these are rich people problems. The cops don't have the resources to spend responding to bullshit in non-rich communities and even if you call on a slow day they still don't want to set a precedent of responding to bullshit.

They killed a person because the individual could not hear, now imagine if you are a tourists that does not know the language well, the cops ask you to raise your hands but you think they want your IDs, you put your hand in the pocket and you will get killed.

It's main highlight - global warming must be limited to 1.5°C rather than the previously agreed 2°C to avoid extreme heat, drought, floods and poverty around the world.

It is obvious that former police officer working as private have their relation network. This makes former police officer so valuable. Active officers trust them and want them to succeed (they may need to go private themself one day). I have not heard about money transfer. This may happen sometimes at small scale, but corruption is a very sensible subject in police. People do not want to be caught as corrupt. This is very damaging to reputation.

They have not corrected their reporting even after everybody who was there disagreed with them. The very first sentence still reads: "At New Year’s Eve celebrations in Dortmund a mob of more than 1,000 men chanted ‘Allahu Akhbar’, launched fireworks at police, and set fire to a historic church."

Their reporting constructs from disparate events a mob that fought police and attacked a church while shouting "Allahu Akhbar". The source they themselves refer to (Ruhr Nachrichten) is very clear on how events cannot be connected in that way.

> because they are usually alone in the US

You can't say "usually" because this is entirely a product of departmental policy, staffing, and the department's budget. I've been stopped maybe ten times in 20 years if you include DUI checkpoints, half that if you don't, and have had a mix of single officer alone, two officers together, two officers in multiple cars, etc.

> wheras in the US they will tense up

How many traffic stop interactions have you had with American police where you can definitively say they tense up at anything? I got pulled over on the way home from a flight lesson and probably spent 5-10 minutes talking to that officer about flight training. But for the most part they just want to issue a warning or citation for whatever you did and get you back on the road so they can go back to their car. Standing next to an unknown car on the highway is the most dangerous position they'll be in that day so I can't fault them for wanting to wrap it up as quickly as possible.

It would. It was even mentioned in the article. The problem is we'd have to convert back the land that's currently used to make food for everyone, which I'm sure will get tons of pushback. From the article:

"The radical transformation also would mean that, in a world projected to have more than 2 billion additional people by 2050, large swaths of land currently used to produce food would instead have to be converted to growing trees that store carbon and crops designated for energy use. The latter would be used as part of a currently nonexistent program to get power from trees or plants and then bury the resulting carbon dioxide emissions in the ground, leading to a net subtraction of the gas from the air — bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS."

Join us on our adventure!

Every day, our team is working on creating the best travel app out there, building the place to go to for people that want to plan, track and remember their adventures around the globe. After launching in 2015, Polarsteps is now used by almost 1.000.000 travellers from 180+ countries. Our app was featured in Apple's WWDC keynote speeches of 2017 and 2018, and just recently Google created this amazing short video about us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYcBqtOwLcg

We're based in the historical center of Amsterdam. We’re an enthusiastic and multi-faceted team of 8 with a passion for travel, design and code. You'll be working closely with us building a super awesome travel app that people genuinely love.

Backend at Polarsteps:

At Polarsteps, we care deeply about ensuring a seamless, top quality user experience for all our travelers. We provide a fundamentally new type of product that is continuously iterated and improved. As a backend engineer at Polarsteps, you can expect to work with a small team across these challenges. This includes everything from scaling our rapidly growing application, to writing complex business logic that enables new product features.

Our ideal candidate:

You’re a seasoned, professional and pragmatic developer with a feel for product and 5+ years experience. You love to travel and enjoy solving complex challenges. If in addition to this, you have experience with large-scale (python) backend platforms, then you’re the rainbow unicorn we’re looking for.

Benefits, perks, the cool stuff:

- Stock options!

- Competitive salary

- Work/life balance

- Be part of a fun, international team

- Awesome office in the center of Amsterdam, one of the most cosmopolitan and beautiful cities in the world

- We believe that regardless of stock options and salary, what will really make you richer are your travel experiences. So once per year you’ll use our Teleporter™: with the push of a button, it will go through all of the locations logged by our users and select a random one > 1.000km away from Amsterdam. This is where your next adventure will take place! The flight is on us. Try it out here: https://www.polarsteps.com/teleporter

P.S. As for our tech stack, we’re constantly aiming for the best possible setup based on our needs as we scale (we take over&under engineering mishaps very seriously!) - we’re hosted in Heroku, use Amazon S3 for media storage, python (Flask) in the backend/API, CloudFront + Lambda@Edge for caching, AngularJS in the frontend, and native apps in iOS and Android. We have single-command build&deploy tasks for production and staging, and we do automated testing with protractor on the web, XCTest on iOS and UI Automator on Android.

Interesting observation. This works presumably because the output of a pixel is not just one bit, but some sort of continuous brightness reading (discretised, of course, sooner or later)?

I am not sure I get it right, but is this supposed to be a modern MS Access?

If it is, I think it is a very welcoming innovation. I believe there are a lot of use cases in business that are currently under-engineered into Excel or over-engineered into complete web apps, SAP or salesforce applications.

BTW, it is a mystery to me why MS Access itself, that is still around, lost this post.

> And I'm not against SOME parallelism support in app languages.

Once again, you said:

> I'm sorry, but the need for parallelism is exaggerated; it's mostly a fad.

So, what's your point? Every time someone talks about parallelism---whether it's legitimate or not---you see it as your duty to pontificate on the "fad" that is parallelism? You've completely and utterly missed my point, which had nothing at all to do with debating the legitimate use of paralleism in a specific case. That there are legitimate uses of parallelism is enough to make my point.

> It's just my experience that if you "need" to do it A LOT in applications, you are probably doing something wrong.

Again, so what? This has literally nothing to do with anything I've said in this thread.

So, umm, thanks for derailing the conversation into your own pet cause?

> And lambdas and OOP do fight over similar territory, or at least can if the language has certain features. For example, Java coders may say, "I need lambdas here because OOP can't do what I need." But it turns out Java's OOP can't do what's needed, not something inherent in OOP.

Again, so what? This seems like a useless academic point. At no point did I invite such navel gazing.
I have no expertise in any area related to this, other than having watched humans do a repair, and talk about the repair, which leads me to believe while a robot repair would certainly be possible in theory, is probably beyond us for a quite a while.

I've seen how some of my family members share photos of their kids and grandkids. It ain't private - most of them are set to "Public", and are going to stay that way.

Even if it's just shared with "Friends", most people will Facebook-friend a much wider range of people than who they would consider friends in real life. It's not just the close friends and family members who, a couple decades back, might have got a chance to thumb through the family photo album. It's also often your co-workers, friends-of-friends, and that person you got drunk with in a hotel bar 6 years ago and sporadically chatted up on Facebook Messenger for a few months after that.

Even if nothing practical comes of it, I wouldn't at all blame kids who grew up in the Facebook era for being pissed about it. The harm isn't in what people who are seeing it are doing, the harm is the over-sharing itself.

So a bully psychologically tortures his victim, kills him and in the end, is acquitted of murder... The mind boggles.
I think when the police's top priority is to get home to their families rather then protect and serve... That speaks volumes.

The danger of being shot every time they get a call to a scene is very real. This creates the mentality of shooting first and asking questions later.

Hot headed officers?! In a country where everybody can own a gun there is a real fear of getting shot. The only worse profession is to be in the army.

Surprisingly other countries have armed police as well, but somehow they wont pull the trigger that often then the Americans. Wonder why... Oh wait, maybe because there is a minuscule chance of being shot by another person?

Interesting. I've experimented with deleting or going cold turkey from various social platforms over the past year or so to see how it affected my life.

After a fair bit of experimentation it seems that deleting Twitter, and blocking Reddit, have been the two things that have most improved my mental state.

No offense, but you don't sound like you know what you're talking about if you don't even seem to understand the difference between 'tax avoidance' and 'tax evasion' (or at least your posts and answers give off the vibe that you're just throwing them all on the same pile of 'paying less taxes, somehow').
