Purchasing a good or service with multiple components is not, in and of itself, a representation to the seller of intent to use all the components.

Now, there could be something United has inserted in the purchase flow of all multileg tickets which assures that the purchaser makes a representation of intent to use every leg, though I've never seen anything like that when purchasing tickets (and a contract of adhesion that United writes that most purchasers will not read, while it may succeed as a contract, probably won't be seen as such a representation for fraud purposes, AFAICT.)
What’s the message?
Describing someone as 'hot' or generally commenting on their appearance when it isn't relevant is a form of objectification. A woman (or man) is at an event to discuss ideas or their company and the first thing someone says to them is about their physical appearance. This is very discouraging to people who have it happen to them very frequently.

Assuming you are a man, imagine being at an event and someone coming up and saying something like, "Woah get a load of Fabio over here". Being compared to Fabio might be a compliment in an objective physical sense, but I'm sure that isn't what you want to talk about when you are trying to get funding or make connections.

When someone makes a broad critical remark about an article, but provides no specifics, I tend to assume it is because they know the article was in fact accurate, but don't want to admit it.

> The FCRA is completely irrelevant to the topic here, because it's inapplicable to the above examples and United would argue they are similarly not violating it.

Nobody said they were violating it. The topic was that they would be violating it if they submitted their fictional debts to a credit rating agency or to a collections agent. Therefore they're never going to make good on their threats, because UA knows this.

Plus you're using bad examples, since in all the examples those companies can show financial harm, and are recouping costs. In UA's case their only "harm" is that they made less profit than they would have liked.
That's such a minute chance of happening, it shouldn't be a concern in the slightest
Or maybe it's getting downvoted because it's trying to counter an argument about diversity of past life experiences with an argument about diversity of class membership, which is quite reductionist.

Class membership can be useful as a proxy for e.g. power structures, but if you're already looking at investors, the most important factor influencing power structures is that they have a lot of money. Maybe there are differences in the ways white and black people with lots of money abuse their power, but that'd surprise me.
Interrogation or torture? I am confused. People generally do not die in an interrogation.

Also why did a Saudi forensic expert bring a bone saw to this "interrogation"? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/world/middleeast/missing-...

"Among the Saudi agents was a doctor who specialized in autopsies, and the group had brought a bone saw into the consulate, which it used to dismember Mr. Khashoggi, according to the Turkish officials"

I suspect we will all go along with this charade because it lets us keep Saudi money and sleep at night.

Yeah, I struggle with this. Often when I see someone my brain doesn't present single name match, more often I have a list of potential matches in my head. e.g. "Scott or Rob" -- so I'm forced to just go with one, or avoid saying any name at all. I've gone for it and botched a name before and it was truly embarrassing. Often given a few seconds I can recall with certainty. It's the one-the-spot instant name recall that is difficult for me.
Could you elaborate why an epiphenomenon isn't viable? Being based on grandmother cell theory seems like an advantage.
Correct. It's a useful term because we have some shared experiences even if we go off in different directions gender-wise.
Warning: general rant about the cost of flights.

I am genuinely entirely fucking sick of the awful experience of booking air travel. The thought of doing it fills me with dread now.

Here is a recent example: a return flight booked with my partner from the UK to the US. His company later wants to send him to a conference in a place nearby a couple of days prior, and of course will happily pay for travel there, and on to our actual destination. “That’s okay”, I think; “I can cancel the outgoing leg of his flight, even if I don’t get a refund”.

Not. Possible. The price British Airways wants to charge me for cancelling one leg of a return flight for one passenger is more than the entire cost for two return tickets. Of course, he can’t just skip that flight, since the inbound will be cancelled.

Literally nobody gains from this. It reinforces the point that consumer cost is now entirely decoupled from the cost of service. On top of this, the process of buying tickets is utterly baffling. Multiple aggregators linking to multiple external agents who in turn are selling tickets cheaper than the airline directly. Codeshares charged at multiples of the cost for being on the exact same flight. And the obvious hidden city stuff.

Surely I’m not the only one who just wants to exchange money for a flight, based roughly on the actual cost? Even accepting that I might pay more for better cabins, or hold baggage, or advance seat selection? Is the current mess genuinely more profitable? Is there any way to fix it besides some kind of regulation of fares? Is there a disruptor?
What representation did that person make of his intent to fly to the final destination?

Are you an attorney?

Putting an origin and a destination in a form and asking for the price is a clear representation of intent, not to mention buying said ticket. Intent need not be verbally communicated; any conduct that is recognized as a representation is sufficient. This is basic civil law; your strict definition is hogwash.

It absolutely holds up, in the same way that clicking an "I agree" button in an online transaction is a representation of agreement, which courts have already held to be valid. See, e.g., the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and Feldman v. Google, E.D. Penn, Civ. 06-2540 (2007).

SC is a huge disappointment for me. It is not playable yet, even though there are things to do if you log on. It looks like it has all the features of a bubble - a hype. If this had been a normal project everyone involved would be worried about whether or not they can deliver due to the continuous postponements. It is not a normal project however, people are still "buying the pitch". It's the idea of SC and the vision of SC that keep people enthusiastic, and SC are feeding the hopeful. It is however suspicious that they have changed their TOS to make them less customer (player) friendly in the "rights dep". If they finish the vision I will definitively use my license to try it out, even though they seem to take the "pay to win" concept to new highs. I very much feel that the money I have spent, though, has been lost to someone who did not succeed to deliver. That is not uncommon in early access games, and is what to expect from many projects I and others help by purchasing an early license. SC However is different, though. They seem to keep on building the hype instead of coming out clean and say it as it is. The game will most likely launch one day, but I expect it will be something completely different than originally sold to me and many many others. I hope they prove me wrong, but as of today SC is guilty of promising more than they can keep

You have a point that the grandmother cell theory appeared first. Got people thinking. Then the grandmother cell theory people themselves came out and said 'hey, we were wrong - we think it is sparse coding'

Something similar could happen here. But then, it won't be grid cells as they are. Will it be that location is coded in every sparse representation? I don't know...
There are plenty of solutions to get around those problems though. Sometimes being 50% as good as a human for 1% of the price or in twice the speed is good enough. Or if it can be correct 50% of the time, but can tell when its wrong, it can be correct 100% of the time with twice the work. If the work is still cheaper/faster than humans...

There are probably a few effective approaches.

One is to get another degree. That looks like a career reset.

The easiest is probably Open Source projects. You could write the sorts of things you are interested in, even if it has been done before. For example, you could write an emulator for a calculator or for an old 8-bit home computer. You could write something to transform executables, for example from i386 to x86_64. You could create part of a valgrind clone, just doing the JIT or even a simple interpreter. You could write a compiler. You could port a compiler to output for a different architecture, or port an OS to run on a different architecture. For example, I think there are Open Source RTOSes that do not yet run on RISC-V. If that isn't true, there are so many other architectures to choose from.

Doing well on the pwnable.kr site without cheating is good. There are public write-ups available, so you'd have to demonstrate that you actually understand things on your own. Getting near the top ranking ("front page is pretty respectable" according to a coworker) would be good.

> Also a recent version of Chrome implemented "no autoplay audio or video" as a feature, but YouTube and Google music are on a whitelist pre-built into the Chrome browser.

They use the media engagement index[1] to gather global statistics to generate global average user preferences to determine if a domain get's to autoplay. It is not something manually defined through someone's decision about a specific domain. This global list is only used until the user has enough interactions with the site in question to allow chrome to use local MEI data to auto-whitelist the domain.

It will likely allow youtube to autoplay, both initially because of the global data but also continuing oin after individual usage data is acquired, but that makes sense and is exactly as you would expect and want out of a system like this. It should also let a competitor auto-play after enough usage is detected, and continue to do so per-user after local data is collected for that instance of chrome.

It will stop random domains from having video pop-ups that auto-play, or in page auto-playing, and it will also prevent domains that initially allow auto-playing from doing so later on if you stop the auto-playing enough that the local chrome instance learns your preferences.

Pretty much. I almost always advise Python to learn "programming" and then moving to javascript to get a job cause above is pretty accurate.

I'm not agreeing with the upthread poster’s characterization of that transaction, either (for similar reasons); see my response to their post further upthread.
The difference in price.
Considering that those prices are for 1 million emails a month, I'd say price is so similar between all of them that you should just pick whichever one gives you and your customer the best experience. The hours saved for your employees will easily save more than they cost if you pick the one that saves them the most time.
There's still a selection involved; they don't publish every outside submission. It's fair to question why they choose the ones they do.
Unless you dig into the magic to learn how it works.
Totally disagree. In my experience across three tech firms, Product Managers spend a lot of time selling themselves. They are

talking to customers (read: networking for their next job),

going to conferences (read: shmoozing with their next potential boss),

researching competitors (read: figuring out where to apply)

researching products (read: learning on the job)

Is it any surprise they tend to make more than people stuck in the office coding?

Probably fair to express that more broadly as Data Science instead of just AI/ML. Libraries like Pandas and Numpy are used all over the place, as well as Python being a relatively straightforward tool for doing data munging tasks.

Absolutely not. Biometrics, unlike most other methods of authentication, cannot possibly be changed. This makes it impossible to change it in the event of a compromise. Also, most biometric identifiers are pretty easy to collect from someone in person without their knowledge. We leave DNA and fingerprints on everything we touch.

The article talks about thermometers being rejected by some doctors who thought fevers were more qualitative... they're not wrong. Different people have different average body temperatures, so a fever for one person might not be a fever for another person [1].

> Purchasing a good or service with multiple components is not, in and of itself, a representation to the seller of intent to use all the components.

Do you have a legal citation for this? I'm unaware of any law that supports this assertion.

In any event, the representation in question is "I want to fly from city A to city B." It's pretty reasonable for an airline to conclude that when a passenger makes this request, that is in fact their intent, not to fly to city C.
Exactly, if you're at the point where you're sending 1 million emails a month you're either spamming people or you don't care about the difference between $100 and $900.

It's just a patent so far.
The answer is probably that parts of Rails are worth knowing, and other parts aren't.

ActiveRecord and the Rails Controller/Model/Routing system are as good as anything in the serverside framework world. A few years back people might have started saying that AR was in danger of being obsoleted by "modern" databases, but SQL (and particularly Postgres) has come roaring back, and AR remains one of the best (arguably the best) SQL ORM.

At the same time, there's a lot of mechanism in Rails that is aimed at front-end work; templates, different template engines, helpers, the inscrutable asset pipeline. This stuff, not so much anymore. The energy you'd put into learning how to do idiomatic front-end in Rails, you should instead put into something like React (probably: into React).

People with a visceral "No" reaction to your question are probably thinking of what would happen if you started with a couple Rails books and tutorials and just went to town building a 2012-era idiomatic Rails application. Don't do that! But as an API server backend, Rails is fine, and does some things better than other platforms.

For whatever it's worth: we see a lot more Django today than Rails. 5 years ago, it was the opposite. People probably wouldn't recoil at the prospect of you doing an idiomatic Django application, even though it's not that much different than an idiomatic Rails application.
That is some "think of the children" legislation away from a rubber stamp subpoena system. Oh well, I don't assume privacy outside my bedroom anyway. Maybe not even in it soon enough.
I think you should as your first web framework. Ruby is fun to write, and it's easy to find and understand examples for Rails (even across versions). Rails is more opinionated so allows you to think less about project structure and more about actual business logic (might be seen as a benefit for a beginner)

The big ideas from any of the popular web frameworks (rails, django, express, etc) will be shared between the rest of them. It's really more of a question about which language do you want to use.

If you already had experience with web MVC, I would recommend something more exotic like elixir phoenix instead (1.4RC released today)
Rails influenced some other popular web frameworks, and I feel it’s still faster to build some types of web apps in Rails. I’d think you could cover more concepts sooner and then translate what you’ve learned to other frameworks as you need them.
