This is how my SO and I ended up in Canada.

The 2013 shutdown happened smack in the middle of our post-PhD job hunt. The shutdown itself ‘only’ lasted a few weeks and directly slowed down interviews at federal labs. However, the overall environment of uncertainty affected hiring well before—-and well afterward. It also spread beyond actual federal jobs to those that somehow interact with the government (contractors, companies with federal contracts, labs that get federal grants). Nobody wants to hire a new person just to lay them off a few months later, nor do people (especially those making academic salaries) want to jump into such a precarious situation.

So....I listened pretty carefully when someone from Canada made me an offer. The salary was maybe a touch low by US standards, but it was available right now and likely to stick around. As a result, We have spent the past five years training Canadian students, building up Canadian labs, and so on.

We think about coming home: we miss our friends and families, it does get cold up here, and living abroad can be strange. At the same time though, we do need steady jobs for ourselves and our research.

FWIW, I don’t think we’re particularly special in this regard. Only two people from my PhD cohort are still doing research in the US (1 academic, 1 industry). The rest have gone abroad or left research, in part due to the crazy career uncertainty.
Not sure about multiple cards, but Revolut give you a virtual debit card you can turn off and on, put restriction on, etc.
Spolier alert: it won't, and that's exactly the point of pushing so many people into CS.

It will also reduce the average skill and competency, dragging the expectations and capabilities of the profession down.
Disrupt disrupt disrupt. Avoid any liability for any damages or frauds, employ gig workers, grow 10x, be a unicorn make the investors wealthier than before and outsource the negative externalities to society.
I am wonder if good fraud detection is one of things routinely ignored by unicorns trying to get explosive growth. First, we had ridersharing companies where drivers could start rides without their customers. Then were digital wallets getting hacked left, right and center (in India).
>Of course the reality isn't quite as utopian. It also means professions like law and medicine require whole additional degrees.

I kind of like the fact that in the US, doctors usually have some exposure to science outside of memorizing facts for their next test at med school. It makes them more likely to be able to understand studies, for one thing.

I might hazard to guess that if you study philosophy before going to law school (a very common path) you will be a better lawyer, but I can't attest to that with any first-hand knowledge.
It also mirrors what was said to people who expected us all to have sentient computers that never made an error and second homes orbiting Alpha Centauri by the beginning of this century.

Court room is an adversarial game, everything the defense or prosecutors say should be considered in this light. They should use every argument to defend themselves.

Google has fiduciary duty to not lose money unnecessarily. The corporate policy is completely different from legal defense when sued.
In Germany bottled water IS a luxury - you don't need to buy bottled water. If juice came from water fountains, they could probably consider that a luxury item as well.
The question of what temperament, exactly, Bach meant by "Well-Tempered" is a hotly contested question, with the majority assuming it is one of the Werkmeister variants, and a vocal minority insisting it was Bach's own custom temperament, with a couple of Bach scholars even hypothesizing that Bach encoded his temperament scheme into the decorative squiggle on the cover page of the original printing of the book.

But everyone agrees it wasn't equal temperament. The point of the book was to showcase the unique character of each key, uniqueness that is lost in equal temperament.
I posted the link hoping to convince you that your claim is inconsistent with the existence of huge multi-storey gay clubs in the center of Moscow. Guess I was wrong.
You didn’t file for a chargeback with Monzo, because they don’t offer credit cards. There’s less protection generally with debit cards.

Generally guidance is that you are entitled to a refund from the bank only if you did not authorise a particular transaction.
The fact that their employer made special deals with people accused of sexual harrassment or wanted to work on military projects are employment related matters.
Don't see it either. Nobody said there was an actual breach. Of course a change of delivery address/email/phone or when combined with unusual orders (large amounts) should be flagged and cause 2FA or some other mechanism to request confirmation to the account holder of record.

I don't believe it even for one second. It is clear that they are trying to be seen in public as a good guys when in fact they are not.
Apples rules are a huge pain. Exception handling gets extremely complex (block all urls matching regex R, on domain B and C but not on subdomain D.B). I have not seen anyone yet able to handle the full breathe of the EasyList format.

To get around the 50k limit added by Apple, you must use multiple lists, however domain exceptions must be included in the same subset as the parent rules, since rules do not combine once compiled.

Also, dynamically whitelisting a domain is annoying since you must remove all of the lists form the webview before loading the page. HTTPS-Everywhere is even worse to get operational using Apple's content blocking lists.

Good point. I'm trying to get my dump from them.
>Now you’ve gone from petty theft and wire fraud and tacked on criminal conspiracy and god knows what else. This could easily get someone 10 years in jail, right?

That's how the cop would describe it of course. Anyone with half a brain knows they always throw the book but the whole book never sticks.

What sticks will probably wind up being some sort of fraud and the punishment will probably be something like fine and probation.

Of all the job interviews i've done, Deliveroo stands out as the only company that gave me a trick interview test - said specifically not to write a feature, and when I didn't, they rejected me on that ground.

Not surprising their whole business is like this.
This is not normal behaviour.

20+ years of wiping several coated plastic glasses on tshirts several times every day and it takes 5+ years to put enough scratches in them to even be noticable (and most of those are probably sports artifacts and from the few times the glasses were put down glass-first).
If I recall, there's no distinction between an en masse data leak and someone being able to access your personal info without authority under GDPR. Both are a data breech. It seems like many people have been affected by this too so clearly Deliveroo doesn't have the mechanisms in place to protect user information. The fact unauthorized people can spend your money through Deliveroo is even worse.

Deliveroo are responsible for the data you give them. If they fuck up and allow unauthorized people access to that data, they're in breech of the GDPR.

If they haven't informed ICO (and equivalent in any country within GDPR rules) within 72 hours of each breech, they're in even deeper shit. First, they have to be clear about the scale of the breech and what exactly has gone wrong. They've got to be able to demonstrate the steps they've taken to mitigate the issue and prevent it happening in future. If people are complaining on a regular basis for months, they've not done that.
So, Google's Project Dragonfly is probably dead in the water now. If the PRC has banned Microsoft, despite it playing by their censorship rules, I don't see why they'd let Google in.
You're right, thanks for pointing that out. I think social control of the means of production still has a similar problem to not having price signals: resource allocation becomes motivated by political considerations, rather than by a profit motive.
Just a note that eyewitnesses testimony can be very helpful in most investigations, it just has to be handled very careful. However it often isn't. As you say, lineups can be particularly tricky.

I mention this because often on this topics people say "eyewitnesses testimony is always unreliable!" when actually it's a bit more complicated than that.
I'm not sure how universal this is; I suspect that's the case at more liberal arts schools, but not the case at engineering schools. My undergrad was at Virginia Tech, and I applied to the CS program as part of my university application. I was in the CS program from day one. But I did part of my graduate school at William and Mary, and they are as you described.
At the YC Bangalore event last year, we had a guy who was developing a disposable and water soluble pad. The pricing was too high for these things to be mass market, though.

To be fair, doing digital signatures inside a database is a really weird use case. I'm not sure why you'd want to generate them there, instead of doing it elsewhere.

"The real story is that Deliveroo does not handle fraud properly. This is a much lesser crime than what they are being accused of."

Actually, they're guilty of worse if this were in the USA, they'd be on the hook for aiding and abetting fraud given the sheer number of fraud complaints I see on their Twitter account.
Re-thinking what anonymous really means on the internet today
Flossing is the best preventative solution. Daily flossing with 2x/day brushing with a Sonicare and good mouthwash have made my dental visits much more pleasant.
If those two arguments would have been equally effective, then perhaps you would be right. I would bet that that wasn't the case, and that's why Google's attorneys advanced the argument they did. Perhaps you are right but they advanced both arguments to be safe, as a higher parent comment suggested.

But it's hard to tell, because the article is vague on these points. It refers to their actual argument only as "urged the National Labor Relations Board to undo that precedent". What exactly does that mean? It's written as if they submitted a policy brief, but it sounds more like they were arguing a prior decision by the NLRB was incorrectly decided, based on previous precedent. Which is something attorneys do all the time and much less dramatic, sans the lobbying-esque framing here.
That's not even an excuse. There are solutions out there that mitigate the fact people reuse the same passwords.
Does it require any background in CS?
I know. As the OP didn't like Influx, I was wondering which other solution is used.

Well, if I order food from the Fat Duck[1], to name just one example, I expect the restaurant to prepare my food and not some "cook" in a container throwing together some stuff coming from trucks owned by a convenience food purveyor.

So yeah, I think it's shady and dishonest.

Sure, if a restaurant allows their brand to be used for such shenanigans they deserve all the bad press they may get.

Disclaimer: I use the Fat Duck as an example. I'm pretty sure they don't do home deliveries, let alone - Deliveroo.

I saw an interesting, related theory in an ecology book I read recently. Most native peoples were very in tune withe the earth (Pagan Europe, Native American tribes, Hindu India, Tribal Africa, Aboriginal Australia, etc).

The rise of Abrahamic religion, with man as the most important creature on the planet and everything on earth created for man, is a factor for why we "dominate" the earth.
Why is it necessary to "stop rogue gene-editing of Human Embryos"? How does rogue gene-editing differ from simple gene-editing?

Perhaps gene-editing should not be controlled. Decisions which rely upon bioethics may not be optimal; articles like this should not even hint that bioethics is science. One can look at gene-editing as a faster version of evolution.
There's not a ton of overlap with boot camp grads. At least here, only the bottom barrel of CS grads even apply to positions that are good fits for boot camp grads.

There's a lot of stigma there. Some women can't find comfortable cups, some have flows too heavy to use a cup, and some don't like the idea of washing out a bloody, clot covered menstrual cup in a public washroom's sink.
There was a link in the comments on this site awhile back from a company that made on similar to an AC window unit, and it had an optional active HEPA filter add-on, whick looked similair to a portable ducted AC.

Also, Panasonic makes a bathroom fan ERV for about $400, which you can find on Amazon, with two ducts, one for fresh air intake, and the other to vent the stale air, and you need to have the intake and exhaust ideally on opposite sides of the structure.

Some people use it for their basement humidity levels. It is much less expensive to run than a dehumidifier.
It's almost like the food guide needs to make recommendations based on the categories you outline, and have those added to the nutrition labels. Eg replace 'fat' as a category with 'omega balanced polys' and trans fat. Gosh, then even color code the nutrition label so show that the bad nutrition elements are in red.

Ie. make it easy for the consumer to pick up to food items in the grocery store and make the healthy decision between the two. As of now, I don't really think that's possible unless you study things like yourself.
I guess I just take it for granted but I would think that a YubiKey like system, and a separate phone for work that is fairly clean of other apps would be the SoP for most serious journalists. At the same time I guess I shouldn't be surprised it isn't.

I know most people are disagreeing with you but I mostly agree. I think it is a big cultural change. Most parents today won't even let their kid outside without them because they are worried about abduction or some other tragedy. You are missing a couple of things though. Houses used to all have porches and the retirees sat out there and could also keep an eye on people (kids or strangers).

The other issue is that most people don't even know their direct neighbors or spend any significant time together. That is definitely their choice but that is what is required to turn a group of houses into a neighborhood. This is much harder in the suburbs than in the cities where there are already known collecting spots like stores, parks, playgrounds and courts. In the suburbs, most people get home after dark from work and kids activities and then it is off to bed for the kids and Netflix for the parents. We all need to slow the hell down.
Do you mean like the iPhone 4 antennagate? That shit was massively overblown. Apple did jack shit to fix it and the iPhone 4 was the world's best selling phone ever (at that time).

When Apple sometimes ships a product with a design defect – like the current MacBook Pro keyboards — they usually know about it and do it consciously.

As if other manufacturers didn't have problems of similar or greater scale.

Oversharing: I've been driving a Volvo XC90 with Pilot Assist and a Tesla Model 3 with autopilot. Of the two systems, I really preferred the Volvo -- but not, ironically, because it was better, but rather because it's worse.

The Volvo's system is very clearly about 70% there. Sometimes on sharp curves it just misses the lines and drifts into another lane. Sometimes it seems to basically just follow the car in front, which means that it will blindly follow a bad driver in doing stupid things. However, the upside of this is that its weak behavior (and willingness to yield to driver input) makes it so obviously an "assist" system that I would never really put a lot of faith in it, or trust it entirely. Thus to me it's just sort of a better version of the lanekeeping system.

The Tesla, on the other hand, really wants to drive the car. It hates taking feedback from me, and will often boot me out of autopilot mode if I disagree over, say, my position within a lane. It does a much better job seeing lanes and handles lane changes automatically. But: because it's so forceful and doesn't like my input, I find it much more stressful to drive. I don't trust it enough to let it have the absolute control it wants, and find myself missing Volvo's pretty-dumb-but-not-demanding system.
You can change delivery address in Deliveroo, maybe they don't make you re-enter payment details like Amazon does when you use a new address? So get into someone's account, use their saved payment to deliver to an arbitrary address and they won't know.
One could open a MONZO account(Which is completely online and can be opened in a day).(https://monzo.com/)

You would get your debit card within a week max. You can transfer limited amount from your original bank account to Monzo account and even on top of that you can set some restrictions on how much amount can be withdrawn and there are some special features like POTS which are very useful.

I am not saying this is the best, but even if someone steals your monzo card details, you can reqeust for a new one and your original bank card details are still safe.

Note: All this works, only if you don't use a credit card.
So basically this says don’t get inflamations near your head?
Wow. As far as I know, this is the first time anyone reputable[a] has claimed to show (!) that the "manifold hypothesis" is the fundamental principle that makes deep learning work, as has long been believed:

"In this work, we give a geometric view to
understand deep learning: we show that the
fundamental principle attributing to the
success is the manifold structure in data,
namely natural high dimensional data
concentrates close to a low-dimensional
manifold, deep learning learns the manifold
and the probability distribution on it."

Moreover, the authors also claim to have come up with a way of measuring how hard it is for any deep neural net (of fixed size) to learn a parametric representation of a particular lower-dimensional manifold embedded in some higher-dimensional space:

"We further introduce the concepts of rectified
linear complexity for deep neural network
measuring its learning capability, rectified
linear complexity of an embedding manifold
describing the difficulty to be learned. Then
we show for any deep neural network with fixed
architecture, there exists a manifold that
cannot be learned by the network."

Finally, the authors also propose a novel way to control the probability distribution in the latent space. I'm curious to see how their method compares and relates to recent work, e.g., with discrete and continuous normalizing flows:

"...we propose to apply optimal mass
transportation theory to control the
probability distribution in the latent space."

This is not going to be a light read...

It sounds like this could be trivially fixed by requiring re-entering payment details if you order to a new address, like Amazon and others do.

Over the holidays with the in-laws, we watched one of those Cops type shows and I was a little incredulous about the use of the drug sniffing dog.

It occurred to me that they could just have the dogs alert basically whenever they wanted them to.

In practice, they seemed to bring the dogs out when the driver of a vehicle was very obviously high, so it seems like they may have had probable cause anyway, but it still seemed alarming that a dog that can so easily be manipulated is an appropriate way to get into someone’s car.
Good thing I'm not in charge of these things at my company, I'd probably look for people who used hardware properly rather than just rely on Apple to make their POS GUI IDEs to run... Most of my colleagues run IDEs, but not the ones who actually get stuff done.
Also another point is that even GC languages do happen to support value types, stack, global memory allocation, manual memory management in unsafe code and memory slices.

So putting all on the same bag doesn't work quite well.
