75 isn't failing, it is a "C", however it is a typical cutoff for using a course as a prerequisite for some other course.

<60 is failing. Very few students actually fail courses.

In general, in my experience, grades for the courses weren't a symmetric normal distribution with a mean of 75, like it is thought. The mean is more like 83, and it was skewed toward higher grades.

To answer your final question, no, I don't think the administration would care if your class average was 95%, quite the opposite. I had one professor in my undergrad who was more "old-school" - challenging coursework, no spoon-feeding, your grade was your grade and that was that. He'd regularly complain about visits from the "Center for Student Success" who complained that he was grading too harshly and fought (on behalf of specific students who went to them with complaints) for higher grades. According to my classmates, they were actually able to get their grades overriden at some level higher than he could view from his system.
I can't remember what Senior VP equates to on the tech ladder, but in terms of his overall impact on the company, Urs is definitely an 11.
Dhall and its Kubernetes support are another potential option [1]. I am not using them yet, but looking to switch from helm templates to something that isn't just text mash-up but has modules and type-safety. Skycfg looks like a nice option to have: more main-stream for those used to Python or Bazel even if it is missing some of Dhall's interesting features (such as reduction).

Facts are facts but to me this always seemed like the dumbest idea. I thought it was a dumb idea before the City Bike program was introduced here in NYC then I thought so many people would get hurt with the way Cabbies drive out here.

Fast forward a few years and the program is a huge success here in NYC, there was some accidents but no where near what I thought there would be. People obviously love Biking and I was completely wrong.

What’s even crazier now I think with the technology and access becoming even easier this has the power to completely transform cities. Obviously people love this and politicians that don’t support it will be voted out, it’s looking more and more like there could be entire roads dedicated to bikes and scooters as this becomes more popular.

Mayor Bloomberg wanted to limit the amount of cars in the city and put a toll on any any cars going below 95th street in Manhattan, people rebelled back then but if something like this had been in place the Cabbies and Car owners would be out of luck.

Well they probably sent a shit-ton of emails in a short timespan to notify most if not all users which could have triggered spam algorithms.
* It could be from the perspective of storage and maintenance. For me, one of the hardest things about owning a bike is where the hell to put it. I live in a city where I can't lock it up outside overnight or it'll eventually be stolen.*

Hang it from a hook.

And as someone else mentioned, flat tires are a pain, checking/maintaining brakes are a pain...I can afford to have someone else do it, but that's still way more of a hassle than just booping a bike on the sidewalk.

Squeeze the tire to see if it's holding air, squeeze the brake lever to see if it's stopping the wheel, then go! Not too difficult. Flat tires aren't too common these days. Wheels can be tubeless these days, even.
This scientific journal article suggests that

"The evolution from squid to octopus is compatible with a suite of genes inserted by extraterrestrial viruses. An alternative extraterrestrial scenario discussed is that a population of cryopreserved octopus embryos soft-landed en mass from space 275 million years ago."

Well we have good ways to solve these problem, Complexity management in programming language is a well understood problem, I see plenty of low hanging fruits.

Also trrseness has nothing to do with complexity. Gcl did not have much language syntax sugar intended for terseness. It’s just naturally simple in choices of right abstractions.
Yes, they're not close relatives. Closer than us and them, but not that close. So yes, external digestion is largely a spider thing. However, crabs and lobsters do "chew" very thoroughly before swallowing. As do some spiders without external digestion.

In all invertebrates, "brains" (to the extent that they're present) are ring ganglia, with the gut going through the center. So arguably they all face that tension between brain development and the ability to eat. Vertebrates, conversely, have ~parallel guts and central nervous systems, so there's no conflict.

The thing with octopuses is that their ring ganglia are mode widely spaced. Having no exoskeleton helps with that, I guess.
This mindset reminds me of the following "laws":

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong [0]. Anything that's isn't disallowed by quantum mechanics, will eventually happen [1].

So, if businesses made it cryptographically impossible to leak data, maybe it wouldn't happen, assuming it is even possible to make it impossible...

Any plans on sdet/test engineer roles?
Urs however does have one, he's listed as a Google fellow (L10) if you go looking.

As a general comment, to compare, a director is L8 equivalent, and VP L9, (but on the management ladder) although at VP+ it gets tricky because there are subdivisions.

Also worth noting that the management ladder goes up more. But the total number of people who are >L11 is probably <11, so it's not like there's any data on how exactly that's broken up.
For those who are as confused as me why Kubecfg exists in the Ksonnet org on Github, when they also have Ksonnet itself, I found this explanation: https://blog.heptio.com/the-next-chapter-for-ksonnet-1dcbbad....

Short summary: They're different but somewhat complementary tools. Kubecfg was made by Bitnami, Ksonnet by Heptio. Kubecfg uses Jsonnet and is less opinioned than Ksonnet, but (as far as I can see) can also use Ksonnet.

Well, a scooter is much smaller than a bike therefore less of a nuisance (though the last bit depends on who you ask/how much of a NIMBY you are).

The downvotes are likely for the fact that no one made your strawman claim. “Rust isn’t very popular” is not a statement of its suitability for any particular purpose. It’s a response to the idea that somehow it would have already displaced C/C++ for all security-sensitive work.

Pardon me? If eliminating potential children reduces environmental impact then eliminating oneself must reduce environmental impact at least as much and in all likelihood more. It's a valid addendum to the original parent. If it seems absurd, well then so is the claim that one should not have children for environmental reasons.

That said I will happily review the rules page again, I didn't intentionally violate it.
I’m even more worried about the ones that don’t have the facilities to even detect and know they’ve been breached.
You would be correct. In the US, which I might remind you, does not have a national law on the books regarding data breach notification.
Even at the state levels, it’s varies pretty wildly on top of, most notifications are only required if there is evidence. So here is the challenge: what if I keep no logs, and have terrible security monitoring capability? If I am notified or discover a critical vulnerability on my own, but have inadequate logs to show or detect if it was exploited... am I required to notify? I have been told no (I fervently disagreed; I think suspected breaches, or critical vulnerabilities which may lead to breaches but were inconclusive should still require notification).
I recently became a mod of a small subreddit and this is super interesting. If this was made into a mod tool I would use it.

I'm wondering what else you could use this analysis for. I imagine something similar could work on Twitter? Like if you blocked somebody and they make another account to harass you.
However, as reference points for US cities, the standard square blocks of Portland, Houston, and Sacramento are 264 by 264 feet (80 m × 80 m), 330 by 330 feet (100 m × 100 m), and 410 by 410 feet (120 m × 120 m) respectively (to the street center line). Oblong blocks range considerably in width and length. The standard block in Manhattan is about 264 by 900 feet (80 m × 274 m); and in some U.S. cities standard blocks are as wide as 660 feet (200 m).

Did a double take at this too, but they clarified that it means “hashed with a unique salt” later on. Not a good word choice for a summary though!

I wonder if this feature is in any way different from LINQ for expressions?

In C# you can say

Expr<Func<float,float>> sin = Math.Sin;

And then write a function

Expr Derivative(Expr expr) => ...

Which will take the above sin, and compute its derivative as another Expr, which can be later compiled using Expr.Compile()

In C# this has been introduced to make SQL bindings.

So far, the only difference I see is that in C# there's a distinction between expression trees and functions themselves, but in Julia there's not.
I've also followed this approach a lot, yet I still find myself searching for the right ways to format it and the right ways to 'promote' pieces of my docs to real documentation or public notes. Cue highlighting with bold, red text, etc.

Not actually sure how people design a solution to something without this style or something near to it... whiteboard session with yourself?

What's so bad about Mere Christianity? It ranks among my top 5.
I think it's so hard to tie these together, because there are a lot of motivators that can lead to the yield curve inverting, also there are different yield curves that can invert. Currently talk is that the 5/30 is what we should look at, traditionally it is the 2/10, the one everyone is talking about now is the 3/5... and just one bps for the 3/5... and actually when people talk about the indicator they really mean for a quarter... well, some do. Sometimes people say a month. Or... some other amount of time.

Basically it's a lot of noise. It doesn't mean nothing, but...
You must have missed the 'lebensraum' bit.

A prosthetic arm that decodes phantom limb movements
Many of us who operate our own mail services use a unique email address for every web service we use. You'd be surprised how many of these unique email addresses I've received spam at (and have subsequently blackholed). I would estimate less than 50% of the associated services ever report a data breach event. I figure either there has been an unreported breach or, possibly more likely, the service sold their userlist either directly to spammers or sold it to another group who was themselves breached. The upside, though, is that blackholing an address used for a single service is super simple and satisfying.
I do because I very much doubt this is going to be unique to Google. Again, it depends on where you draw the baseline.

I also think its much harder to censor very broad and general set of ideas than specific issues. I think the resulting general improvement in access to information will result in a more educated populace and improved quality of life and people will want more and demand more of their government.
Biggest doesn’t mean big. It’s a few thousand people big, ~1% of the IDF as a whole. And in my limited experience, it does carry clout within the tech scene in Israel.

On the other hand, whenever people tout “ex Israeli military” as a positive or negative, I also find it silly. That’s the vast majority of the country!
> Ok, I was just mistaken in my belief that integer overflow shenanigans was a major contributor to how a modern compiler optimized e.g. loops.

Yes, there is some impact but I think it's large, at least based on looking at a lot of assembly, and going over the typical examples of where it helps. In the cases it does help, it could make a big difference on a loop, let's say 2x the speed, but these aren't all that common.

> Right. I was considering the sandbox in the sense only of process security rather than program/type soundness.

Usually those two things end up tightly bound together: it's hard to impossible to enforce a sandbox if the user can escape the type system.
Mind sharing which make/model you purchased? I've been looking at buying one recently, and all the well-reviewed ones seem to be significantly more than $350
a) It opens you up to criticism, to find potential improvements to your style - if you think that your style can't be improved, then sure: hold onto it and never let it go!

b) If everybody held onto their knowledge because it was valuable, I'd venture to say that you'd only have a fraction of the knowledge you have now - since there wouldn't be any resources for you to consume yourself

c) It disseminates your work, more people know what you're working on, and that means that when you make a claim regarding the value of your work, people will take you seriously. How am I supposed to judge the value of your work if you don't have a readily available body of work for me to cross-reference against.

d) If your pattern truly creates value, then others will start to use it in software you don't contribute to; which will mean more rapid progress that you can again benefit from.

Human knowledge acquisition is not meant to be solitary, so if you don't want to share; thats up to you. But you need to realise that sharing is always a game of give and take.

One of the asked for measures that many countries that do business with Saudi Arabia is to cancel all military equipment contracts. That measure doesn't require anyone to go to war. Unfortunately, the clauses in these contracts specify heavy fines for cancellations.

One thing that I thought of that legislatures in sovereign countries could do is to pass a law that adds a clause to all military equipment contracts carried out by their constituent corporations that allows such cancellations in the case of human rights violations. It wouldn't help with the current event, but it might for future ones.

The other reply about "best self" is apt. It is perfectly reasonable, and at times even necessary, to not want to be yourself.

For example, if the OP advice of "let your inner person go out in every occasion in order to immediately push away people that don't like you" leads to a bunch of mean shit that alienates women, that's probably a thing worth changing.

The advice in that sentence is more for people who have fears like "I don't want to talk about my hobbies because I'm scared people won't respect me". All advice isn't right for all people, here's one of my favorite articles about that: http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/06/09/all-debates-are-bravery...

My advice is to examine why you don't want to be yourself: if you're living in a way that's incongruent with your values, or values that you want to have because you believe they would make your life and the world genuinely better, then yeah, start making changes in pursuit of those values.

If people are treating you badly for ways that you are, and, were you not being mistreated, you'd be okay staying the way you are? And nobody claims to be harmed by the way you are (highly unlikely, from the sound of it)? Stay you. Find new people. It is crazy how varied, and how sandboxed, groups of people are. The subculture switching cost is very nearly zero, and you'll never bump into the last batch once you make the jump.

A Cornell professor’s trick for getting 1700 peer reviewed publications
Going back roughly 4 decades, the best time to buy real-estate for investment has been during or just after recessions. Have investors changed after those four decades? If by chance real-estate doesn't go down during the next slump, then perhaps stocks will; I got choice. It's unlikely that neither will shift downward, and I might skip investing if both stay high.

Interest rates on constructed real-estate is also lower during slumps. Of course investors could be wrong, it happens. But buy-low-sell-high has on average worked best. It's one of Warren Buffett's key strategies (although arguable he is buy-low-and-keep).

I wonder how much of that gets offset by transmission loss and the scooter's charging/discharging inefficiencies?

Not that that would be a reason not to use scooters in and off itself, since they're be posed to take advantage of grids that will hopefully become more and more renewable over time
