How do you think S. Korea transformed from THE poorest nation on the planet after 1953 end of Korean War to top 10 - 15 nation in a 65 year period? Imagine, there are still people alive who were born in the poorest nation on the planet, and now living in a nation that is ranked 15th in GDP. South Korean passport is ranked 3rd most accepted, tied with Germany and France.

It wasn't because of natural resources or oil.

It wasn't any modern industry that just had to recover after the war such as Germany or Japan did. South Korea had NO modern industry of any kind, higher education institution, a modern workforce, effective government agencies, etc. S. Korea was literally a hell hole of a nation in 1953.

After the WTF period Koreans went through from 1910 to 1953 (after having had a 500 years long kingdom, the Chosun dynasty), South Korea just had to do what was necessary to survive.

And only way they saw how was producing a workforce to be productive. And no, Montessori method was not a viable option.

You don't have to be a highly educated non-Korean to see the education system is not quite right or wrong. Many highly educated and even not so highly educated people IN S. Korea know the question is valid to ask. Some want a change. Many who immigrated out of S. Korea to US and other nations list 2 reasons for leaving the nation, 1) conscription army and 2) the college entrance exam, the Suneung. But it was a system created at a time when there was no time to debate, but to act quickly to produce a workforce, just to survive as a nation. And it has delivered so far.

Yes the suicides are tragic. But consider this. Far more S. Koreans have died (including newborn, young, old) from lack of basic medical care in South Korea when only select few had access to modern medical care up until 1970's, 80's. The nation and citizens couldn't pay for it, for lack of wealth, from due to lack of skills needed by a modern workforce. But now that they can afford it, a nation wide medical care system is in place. Without educating the workforce (and yes the Suneung), they wouldn't have that luxury.

Easy for you to say they should be ashamed of that. I quite disagree.
One of the reason for these sets is mathematics ℜ <> ℝ in a math text (and BTW the math symbols ℂℍℕℙℚℝ in the double strike set are "out of sequence" which can be a nasty surprise if you do naive incrementation.

That is really unbecoming of him. I'm already not a big Facebook fan, but that was for reasons outside of all of this continually unraveling tale.

To try and offload the blame for a specific matter to completely unrelated parties is just... well it doesn't look good on him at all. Quite frankly, the gesture inspires suspicion.
Based on my experience porting Wren's interpreter to Go, I would expect this to be about 3x slower than a C interpreter (without JIT). But someday I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I don't believe Go has been optimized for compiling an interpreter, so perhaps there is low-hanging fruit, should the Go team decide that it's a priority.
The situation is far more like not being able to choose another broadband provider, with network effects taking the place of local cable regulations.

I can picture a scenario where some sites have an insurmountable advantage because of compromised network neutrality. I'm very sure that in that case, the winners would be crowing about how, "the market has spoken," when the reality is that the market is broken.

Windows XP did not have this kind of telemetry, yet everyone loved it and things were improved with service packs. I don't agree with this spying.

It's the same excuse always. Nowadays everyone suddenly needs tracking for everything, from softwares to TVs and cars.
Isolates are limited to a single thread. There's no built in way to throttle an isolate's CPU usage, but you can manage the thread it belongs to. Which means isolates aren't inherently worse for CPU contention than processes would be, you just need to roll your own throttling instead of using something like cgroups.

That's a broader question than chicken or bee. A crow is definitely more intelligent than a bee.

>If only because network protocols are generally BE.

I think a big part of this is that, until x86 conquered all, big-endian was far more common than little-endian. So when all those "foundational" protocols were originally designed, it was little-endian that would have been the bizarre choice.

Donald Trump is alive and he’s 72, and sleeps 4-5 hours a night. That’s all I’m stating. It was the first example that came to mind. I’m sure there’s others, I just recalled this article.

If you are going this way, someone could very well "adjectivize" your comment with the label "fallacy of fallacies" it fits very well: The fact that the comment you criticize uses a fallacy, doesn't make that comment wrong! Duckduckgo that!

Likely, although "everyone is dissatisfied, but not enough to leave" can also be a result of compromise.

That's a distortion. It's more like, lots of people are dissatisfied, but all of the alternatives are economic/network-effect suicide. It's more like people living and working in the crappy mining town, because the only alternatives are like living as a hobo in the woods.
They don't; DynamoDB is a partitioned document store. You can query for a range of a sorted key but it just gives you the documents in that range. And I'm a little fuzzy on KMS but I believe the entire table is encrypted with one key, so if they could do SUM(x) GROUP BY y if they wanted to take the scaling hit.

I don't have the link at hand but a few years ago (so I'm probably wrong about the details) I think a Debian developer was annoyed by the misuse of his personal repository that he modified his deb packages to change the user desktop background, mostly to demonstrate that installing random unknown packages from the Interweb could be dangerous.

I recall that episode made some noise at the time...
It's not what the perks are that you need to look at; it's the change in the perks. If someone decides that they need to cut free coffee, that probably means that they were looking for things to cut because coffee is too cheap for someone to bother cutting under normal circumstances.

22 years ago, TE was brave, because at that time transgression against middle class values was a big part of the elite they represented. The cultural obligation for the privileged to voice principled dissent is no longer a thing. We buried it with Christopher Hitchens.

TE is a group of editors who assign to a large pool of contributors, many of whom are freelancers. Not unlike the controversy journal, which will also publish third party material without direct individual attribution.

I would argue the controversy journal allowing pseudonyms for writers is exactly the same as non-bylined articles.

Of the values of the last decade that are now held above public criticism, I doubt TE has issued a compelling challenge to any of them, discretion being the better part of valour these days.
I usually say I would be happy to meet (or call or whatever), but what is the call about.

If they are good, they'll lay out everything they want to cover and be upfront. Sometimes, this works well and I'll bite and accept the service or we will know right away it won't work.

The worst is when the person thinks they want to build a relationship first and hang out and talk about other things and then they'll tell me what they want to do. I simply won't give someone I just met some business just because (or if) I like them.

Yes, they are relative. 0 for freezing and 100 for boiling works well for chemical reactions and cooking. 0 for extremely cold weather and 100 for extremely hot weather works well for knowing what to wear before going outside. Celsius requires smaller numbers with decimals for similar weather precision.
Wonderful concept. From my experience in distance learning (online courses), lack of human engagement is the #1 problem that leads to dropping a course -- no real human connection. Which is why many universities are investing in using group videoconferencing to allow for genuine group activities in class, every when people are in different towns/states. Anything to help MOOC's in a similar way should be immensely valuable!
If you bought a physical tool that I manufactured. Your need the tool to do your work and switching to something else would be expensive in both time and money due to interoperability problems and lost time.

Do you care if I stand behind you taking notes about how you use the tool in your work? I promise I won't write down your name in my notes. I just want to know how you use my tool in your work. For research purposes. It's not a "violation of privacy"; I wouldn't take notes on what you're working on - I just want to know exactly how you use my tool in your work. I'll even be careful to not get in your way ("most" of the time). I just want to know how you use my tool so I can make it better.

If I did this to you without explicit prior-authorization from you (such as a contract describing what I'm authorized to do), would you allow it? Would you order me to get off your property? Would you call the police to have me arrested for trespassing and possibly corporate espionage?

Making tools out of software instead of steel doesn't grant permission to using someone's property without their explicit permission.
Also, unauthorized use of private property is still unauthorized even if your goals are useful. Other companies doing the same bad behavior doesn't justify that behavior; trespassing is still trespassing even when a lot of people are doing it.

Brazil is an upper middle income country, it would hardly be considered poor by world standards. In fact, I think “middle income trap” was specifically coined because of Brazil having trouble breaking into a rich nation. India is a bit poorer (lower middle income I think). Many African countries are lower income, a tier below.
You also had a prescription for those right? That's what I was referring to. If you get ahold of a machine without a doctor's permission slip, buying supplies is a bit more challenging.

Amazon won't sell you full mask sets, you have to buy the frame/cushion/headgear/tubing separately and put it together yourself. Usully at a very inflated markup.. recently had to pay $100 for a replacement frame after one of the headgear hooks snapped off of my F10.

Other CPAP companies online won't even talk to you without a prescription on file.

> 08 - Winning trust with communication

> Learn simple keys to becoming a better communicator and how to identify your team’s different communication styles.

Having experienced the pain of working somewhere where leadership tried to decree a single "right" method of communication for all developers that didn't jive with us at all, I don't take this for granted anymore.

In that case, management declared that in-person communication was so essential to the agile philosophy that all devs should be ok with being interrupted by anyone and at any time for the purposes of having a face-to-face chat (and WFH was not allowed unless sick). I now work somewhere where I don't see any co-workers in person on most days, and somehow we get tons more work done and stay in contact just fine. Weird how that works...
I know this is for MOOCS but there are lots of great courses that are available online from universities where this would be useful. I'm taking Deep Reinforcement Learning (CS294) from Berkeley.
Adding the option for courses like that would be really helpful!

I personally love Airtable, but I do totally understand some of your points. I also went through quite a bit of testing vaguely similar services before settling on Airtable in large part because of their API.

However, since then Coda has also added an API, which is really interesting. Other folks have mentioned Notion, which is also great, but Coda honestly felt like the closer competitor to Airtable while Notion felt like they were fighting Dropbox Paper.
Indeed. While I'm sure there are genuine cases of need that deserve our sympathy (and maybe even our money), the total lack of verification and accountability makes me really wary. AFAICS, all it takes to collect thousands from random strangers is the ability to present a heart-wrenching story. The entire setup is such that facts are entirely optional.
It looks like this was launched in May 2017. There's more context in the post below:

> We’ve met with hundreds of Fortune 500/ Global 2000 companies, startups, and government agencies asking: “How do I get started with artificial intelligence?” and “What can I do with AI in my own product or company?”

> While there are many excellent tutorials out there that show how to use TensorFlow or the beautiful math behind neural network training, we couldn’t find a broad overview — a “Chapter 0”, if you will — for product managers, line of business leaders, strategists, policymakers, non-AI developers to read first before moving on to more technical materials. So building on our popular primer on artificial intelligence, today we’ve launched a microsite to help newcomers — both non-technical and technical — begin exploring what’s possible with AI. The site is designed as a resource for anyone asking the two questions above, complete with examples and sample code to help get started; no computer science degree required! Ultimately, it’s aimed at people who aren’t only studying AI in universities or labs and just want to get their hands and heads around it as they explore options for their own companies.

IIRC the creator (Frank Darabont?) left after the first season, and the show has suffered tremendously since. The only reason for it's success is perhaps the love people had for zombies.

He's absolutely right. Publications like NYT, WaPo, CNN, etc. have played huge roles in exacerbating the damage caused by Russian interference, as well as blowing up non-Russia related stories that ended up being of little substance but were major factors in the election, such as the Clinton email fiasco. And there has been little to no signs of repentance from them. And I doubt there will be.

That said, absolutely none of that absolves Facebook of anything, and to bring it up is just deflection.
We also know, via leaked Snowden documents, that the intelligence community has been looking for ways to discredit Wikileaks for about a decade. The CIA is not a trustworthy source, if they have proof it needs to be presented.

There is that. Self confidence also plays a huge role. Some people can’t standard hearing their own voice and can’t find anyone else willing to do it (or are too shy to ask). You’ll find a lot of these people inn CS research who think CG voice is an easy way out of that anxiety.

I have not heard of this concept, but I think that's a great model for learning!

Our algorithm favors matches for people that are both currently taking a course - so you are correct in that the "Equal" is the most important component that our system tackles. However, it also does suggest matches for people that are in different stages of the course. It might make a suggestion for someone who is taking a course with someone who has completed it - and vice versa.

In the future, I've thought about adding a Q&A component to the site. And I think that would that could help with the "Plus/Minus" aspect of learning.

Maybe it might also be helpful to have a feature where you could ask to have the algorithm favor "Plus/Minus" matches?

Nailed it. Canada has wasted hundreds of millions investing in "startups" and it all ends up going to ex-corporate suits from some megacorp (IBM, Blackberry/RIM, etc, or even non-tech etc) who know how to game the system. That and wasted on over priced real estate projects like MARs in Toronto.
True, but since so much of it is self-inflicted, it's sometimes harder to want to help them (us).
Too bad US doesn't use them.
Several times in my twenties I've found myself pretty depressed with no seeming way out. Generally I'd find myself with insomnia that I'd try to fight, thinking more sleep would help me break it.

At one point I stopped trying to fight the insomnia, instead just trying to stay up as long as possible. I didn't have a job at the time.

After a few days of practically no sleep but all conscious activity, I'd be playing video games or reading or whatever, I fell into a deep sleep for like 12-14 hours, and when I woke up, I felt refreshed like I'd never felt before, and my depression, well it was gone.

I believe that, just as sleep clears out some brain cruft, not sleeping can perform an inverse service that's almost as vital. The focus on "getting enough sleep" as some kind of religious mantra is keeping us from doing that.
Most likely I would try to dance around it or find a different way to convey my thoughts (like for any other thing I couldn't express clearly) or use `it` because in my first language (french) `il` is the default pronoun for a baby (`il a faim ton bébé ?`) while thinking something's off and ask the person to forgive my blunder.

I would certainly not used something like `is they a boy ?` though.
