If you go the prototype route, it is critical that management knows that it is an exploration and no running code will result from it - just knowledge. I am a super big fan of prototypes in my domain. They take under a week usually. We use them to crack the hardest nuts on an upcoming project and usually learn something(s) very valuable that guide the design of the v1 product/solution. Usually these are the learnings we would not have gotten to until mid-way or more in a real project, but we can prototype it, preventing all the potential rework.
If you want to buy a car without much ( if any ) haggling and you do not want a specific car with specific options you should (strangely it applies to both used and new cars in larger dealerships i.e. non Buy here/Pay here shops)

1. Only talk to someone at the dealership who does the fleet sales. Simply ask for "Feet sales"

2. Only buy a car that is already on the floor

3. Do it in the last 27-29th day of the month -- dealerships pay monthly floor plan financing fees and you want to take something off their hand at the last moment they can replace it with a new car and still have the entire 30 days clock to sell it. If you are buying the car on 30th or 31st, the replacement car probably won't be there before 2nd or 3rd of the month, meaning the dealership would pay for 2 or 3 days of a floor plan financing when there is no car that they can immediately sell. That in turn means they would attempt to either bake higher price into the car you are buying or kick the sale to the next month giving themselves another 30 days to sell it.
great job and thanks for keeping this free
You mean easing them? IIRC, there are still restrictions in place.
I have seen many people voice that complain. Personally I rarely had issues verifying a solution once I have worked through a problem.

What happens much more frequently, is that I get stuck somewhere, and get tempted to look at a solution if one is provided, which in turn nullifies the achievement. In this sense, not having solutions, makes it easier for me to plough through.

Everything you say is right, and it is morally right to not wish to support communism and the human oppression that it causes. But then you watch as Huawei inserts spy capabilities in their products and the US is right to try to ban that crap but then all these assholes in the "Get Trump" crowd support Huawei as a political move. I give up.

China sucks, China has always sucked. Americans should be trying to make China better and freer and instead it is us who are getting worse and less free each passing day. It was not supposed to be like this! The 21st century is sure falling short of my expectations, it is more like a dystopian cyberpunk novel at this point.

The UK may be leaving the EU, but that's not a change to the Eurozone, which is a monetary union among a subset of EU members, of which the UK has never been a part.
Really suprises me that a company would go out of their way to make software for Apple products exclusively.

No B2B, customers are likely pre-college grads, and the pool of customers are tiny.

Anyone like to hypothesize why a company would be exclusive to Apple?

As a poor sod needing to go to the Aussie consulate between Beverly hills and Santa Monica from Irvine, I'm incredibly lucky that the train was 5 mins late, because there wasn't much else to do that day: last train for the morning left 9:02am, next train 4:30pm!

These people are outliers. The problem with outliers is that they're so far out of the normal range that it's often difficult/impossible to use outliers' experiences to answer "what causes deviations within the normal range?" Were they gifted from birth? Did they have unique developmental opportunities? Did a radioactive spider bite them just so? We can analyze their lives and experiences, but we often place far too much stock in the facts of that analysis without properly assessing those facts' significance.

Using Mozart & co. as [counter]examples in a discussion about innate potential/intelligence/development is about as useful as using lottery winners to derive recommended savings levels for the general population, or using lightning strike victims to derive recommendations for public safety.
If they want to control all of this stuff programming will become almost impossible since everyone is using these things today; it puts your coding in the hands of lawyers (no you can't call that method, its against the law). Even mobile and desktop OS's these days include many of those things, not to mention a big chunk of cloud systems like Amazon become a minefield.

Actually it meant one version: the one produced outside the USA (since there was no restriction on using that inside the USA). So the law achieved roughly nothing besides exporting coding jobs.

In my family A. A. Milne is promoted to a status tantamount to religious text. Disney's treatment is sacriligous and feeds a very similar hatred. I think it's the juxtaposition of the epitome of innocence (albeit heavily rose-tinted) with such a cynical, nasty organisation.

And all the more upsetting that the Disney version is probably all anyone ever knows.

Hands off.
Well, I know a lot of small companies in NL from friends and people I met who are simply sloppy and negligent with VAT and taxes in general but not willfully wrong and nothing at all happens. Slap on the wrist and fines. Same in Spain (much higher fines).

So ok, I see in theory it can happen but is there any case where this actually happened in the EU unless it was willfully wrong or fraud in some huge company with an accountants scandal?
You could also say it undermines a major tenant of right wing politics too: that wealth is earned. If your wealth results from a genetic lotto ticket, you didn't earn anything. You just got lucky. This could be an argument for wealth redistribution.

If true, strong heritability of ability could undermine much of present day politics.

Funny, I had the reverse effect. As the author, I got started with Link's Awakening, though I got stuck looking for one of the later dungeons and completed it much later than I picked it up.

I skipped the one on the SNES, absolutely adored OOT, was pretty mystified by Majora's Mask, and when I could finally borrow Twilight Princess and the Wind Waker from a friend (again pretty late after their release), I finished both of them in one or two weeks.

(edit: "mystified" might be the wrong word. I really like it. And finished it. It's just... strange :) )

From that perspective, BotW is a really beautiful game, the size of the world is astonishing, and the chemistry systems and their interactions are great.

But the whole feel of the world feels... meh at times. The foundations are there, but the story and world design on top of it feels shallow.

To start with, all the interesting characters are dead (the four guys who died in their "beasts"); except for Zelda, who you don't get to interact with during the whole game, too. The only character left with some wonder in him is Kass; I was always pleasantly surprised whenever I heard his tune.

The intricate little stories you find throughout the older games have usually been replaced by some "fenced-off" substitutes (because you are supposed to find all of them with your own timing). Example: You wonder what that heart-shaped pond on a mountain looks like (from the map), go there, and then get a quest that only applies to that place. Bigger, more interconnected stories are few and far between.

And the "core gameplay" has suffered, too: The dungeons are an outright joke if you are accustomed to earlier Zeldas. The shrines often hinge on a clever idea, but are usually over just when things get interesting. One exception is maybe that island (trying to avoid spoilers here). That was great.

TL;DR: I still enjoyed BotW for its exploration aspects (which reminded me very strongly of Gothic), but it doesn't fill that "Zelda" niche for me. It's the first Zelda game that had me stuck before the final boss with no technical obstacle, just a lack of motivation to beat him, because the castle design turned me off that much (remember the dungeon design? Yeah).

Perhaps I should have another go at it.
If they did, it would undercut the argument that the NYC subway needs more money on top of what it already has.
Why can't I just get a reasonable definition of what a Tsetlin machine is?

WNUT-17 [1] is not a news corpus. It has a lot of badly-formatted prose, spelling mistakes, abbreviations, bad punctuation etc. etc. Accordingly, it's the dataset where they get the worst F1 of 50.20, but still better than the previous best of 45.55. In general, I'd be surprised if they hard-coded reliance on the specific regularities of news texts into the model assumption, so if a model is able to exploit those regularities better, training it on a corpus with different regularities should also enable it to perform well on that corpus.

NYC public transportation is great, but its incredibly expensive and falling apart. (NJTransit + Amtrak have had major problems in the last few years)

There doesn't appear to be any fixes in the works. It seems like they're just hoping the problem goes away or that the federal government will spend billions on new infrastructure.

Over the years I’ve seen a couple of fascinating applications with powdered additive manufacturing.
Living metal - powdered metal parts with bacteria ‘in the gaps’. Activated with heat their byproduct was lubricant. Great for bearing faces in mechanical equipment doing long distances in space.

The other was calcium powdered 3D printed parts that had a chemical forced through their porous mass, changing its chemical composition.
This is done occasionally in algo books to encourage their adoption in cirricula (e.g. Dasgupta, etc.).

As a sibling comment mentions, it's relatively easy to verify your answer for correctness in some cases. The downside of this is that it becomes difficult to assess whether students are actually learning. One way to mitigate this is to withhold answers and assist with other teaching resources like TAs. This also helps teach the aforementioned 'verification' step.

Depends on the target audience for sure. I think most people in software are with you—“just give me text, dammit!”—but I’m my experience selling B2C software, a solid videos drives way more sales than text+photos (ballpark of maybe 20% on a landing page).
I think the key to becoming smart is believing that you're smart. However one ends up with that confidence varies--testing as "high IQ", going to a good university, learning it from your parents, failing and having something to prove--they all work. If someone truly believes, in their bones, that they can do something and then work like hell to achieve it--I'm betting on that person no matter what the establishment thinks that person capable of.
I was thinking something similar. I'm 28 and 2018 was a difficult year because I had to end many, many friendships because it became harder and harder for me to relate to them on a level I desire for my personal growth but I digress.
The fact that Gates mentions that he thinks about these things now as opposed to his 20s makes me wonder if I am making the right decisions here. Still, I have made great progress.

So maybe there is benefit to be had from being old young.

That's a recent development. The MTA hit its peak of reliability and performance about a decade ago. Since 2010, which coincidentally is the exact time that Cuomo took office, things have plummeted.

Honestly, it would also be quite weird for a font these days to not have the full set of common-use Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic. So I'd assume a simple mistake here instead of forgotten important glyphs.
There are a lot more people going to university these days, and grades are inflated. That's the short story. If you have to look at many many applications for a spot at a top university you are more likely to choose someone who is a "traditional" talent.
“licensing” is not resume building.

Paying for courses and continuous learning is.
Let's not get too smug with things like Stuttgart 21, Transrapid München, or cities like Aachen getting rid of their tram network (and regretting it now AFAIK). And having a public that values and prioritises mass transport is not a given.

Admittedly, I'm a bit torn on this. Since infrastructure is so important to the liveability and growth of a city, and any sort of long-term thinking is a good thing. But predicting the future is hard, and having a 40 year plan survive (short-term) politics is also unlikely.

NYC just opened a partial new line and new stations over the last couple years. Work is continuing on the 2nd Ave line however slowly.
To some degree yes, because otherwise there will be very little societal incentive to struggle in the present in order to have a better life in the future.

Consider the case of Poland. The country has a pretty brutal recent history: dozens of wars, uprisings, border changes, and other chaos over the last 250-300 years. Many, if not most, of the people fighting against the oppression were doing so with the expectation that they’d be building a future free country for themselves and their family. More broadly, for their culture.

If suddenly Poland were composed of X group of people that had zero relationship with the country and zero interest in learning the language or promoting the culture, would all this struggle then not be in vain? More importantly, would Poles have instigated numerous revolutions, uprisings and protests if they weren’t trying to preserve their culture? Would the Soviet Union even have been overthrown?

I think one can make a very strong argument that a culture with no future has no present, either. Inherited wealth between individuals and families may be a problem, for sure, but inherited “cultural capital” seems absolutely necessary if you want your civilization to continue existing.
I think that that's the point of it being metrically identical.

You can work in Courier Prime any time you want, and then switch to Courier for submitting your screenplay without worrying about it changing the pagination.

So it can help out any time you are working on your screenplay or working on it with anyone you know won't care, both before and after submission.
To clarify, I do agree with this as well. My word choice was just to keep within the context of the thread here, although it might have been a good idea to explicitly state this also.
At work we use JWT strictly within our own infrastructure, and opaque tokens for requests coming into our API gateway. This gives us a single point to check tokens are still valid, after which a JWT gets passed back to the backing service. The actual service internally can trust that the token it received is still good to use, in many cases not needing to do any further queries to get user details as their encoded in the token.

Perpetual copyright does the opposite of encouraging innovation. Consider how many of the highest grossing movies are made up of endless sequels and reboots of existing franchises vs how many are new.

Rather than thinking in terms of "How much is owed", it's far more sensible to think about liquidity "How much of my income goes towards servicing debt?"

There's a huge difference between "I owe £10k tomorrow" and "I owe £10k over the next 20 years with 1% interest."

When you start thinking in terms of liquidity it makes a real difference to how you think about money.
