If you have a problem with your manager, wouldn't the person to speak to be their manager rather than HR?
I think mathematicians have mostly moved past the idea of fighting over whether something is or isn't a number. There are lots of interesting number systems that never made it into widespread use in the same way that the "core" number systems did, and there are lots that see niche usage, but people are pretty relaxed about whether they are "actually" numbers - they might or might not typicaly be referred to as numbers, but the strongest negative answer to "Is this a number?" you'd typically see would probably be to shrug and say "sure I guess, if you like?"

One example of previous attempts which we'd now consider to be invalid is a lot of operations on infinite series. In early days of analysis you'd get people concluding things like "1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ... = 1/2", which gets you into more hot water the more you look at it. The problem here isn't that they are philosophically unsound per se - you can define all sorts of notions of "infinite sum" that make this work, like cesaro summation - but they don't behave as nicely as people intuitively expected them to and the naive versions of them don't really work.

It is not fancy, uses Makefiles and a few scripts to generate static content; Most of this stuff existed before Node.js and I plan to keep it that way. An old version of this site used to be on geocities, so you can imagine. :)

It contains pointers to very old code and a link to my old favorite sites and my social network profiles; It even has a RSS feed that is updated every few years. ;)

@all: I'm going to go through all of your pages here. Will try my best to connect with you if I am able to!
> If those points are the reason China's about to topple over, why hasn't the United States already done so?

China is not about to topple over. My point is that to get more funds for the BRI, China has decided to go to Hong Kong to do so. There is nothing more to it. I felt the rest of the initiatives are cover for the first one.
BuildZoom (Marketplace for Construction) Is Hiring Engineers

You might start off taking the same number of photos, but as you can upload them much faster, you will start taking a lot more photos and the photos you take will be a lot larger.

The "if you build it, they will come" model applies to the creation and administration of most any constrained shared resource, whether that be roads or network bandwidth.

They've been designed to make users click on this or that or watch or scroll more, but I disagree that all the consequences of those designs were or are understood. I don't think anyone intentionally designed a system to make kids watch creepy YouTube videos endlessly or not get vaccinated or think the earth is flat, they designed a system to "maximize engagement" and these things happened (maybe or not as a consequence).
You still need to run fiber to the radios, and at a couple hundred yards apart, you're going to be running fiber down almost every single street. If the goal is fixed installation, you could have just ran it a few feet more directly to the house.

How is this going to work? The radios you're talking about are very high frequency, so they require line of site.
Wouldn't this situation and others like it simply devolve into an accusation and a denial? What can a truly impartial arbiter do in such a scenario?
That is a Sirius total eclipse :-)
Yeah, that sounds like something I haven't tried. I actually work really well remotely; my most productive time was idling in chat rooms. But unfortunately, forums like this and reddit are too distracting. I'm not so fond of coworking spaces as they come with productivity hits of their own.

Oddly enough, it is quite reassuring that there are not a lot of helpful responses, because it means it's a problem that nobody has a solution for.
Ex-Amazon employee here, and I definitely do not speak for the company.

Amazon, more than any other company that I know of, has a ton of ex employees whose opinion either amounts to "Amazon was horrible" or "I thought Amazon was great for a long time, then it went south and in retrospect can't believe I put up with it for so long." So despite your current positive opinion, there is a good chance that you will some day be singing a very different song.

I am personally glad I worked there, because it was a fascinating experience. But I wouldn't want to work there again, nor would I recommend it to a friend.

No, but they certainly have no use for SWEs thinking outside the box in ways beyond engineering work. Such as recognizing that interviews don't work well to predict ability and success. We engineers are supposed to shut up and conduct interviews and build interview tools, not wonder if the whole thing is a case of the emperor has no clothes.

In India there is a more equal split between women and men in the STEM fields, yet women are much less liberated then in Western countries. The reason being is that women there are forced to enter whatever career gives them the biggest paycheck, which happens to be STEM.

So, I'd say your assumption is incorrect.

Hate to be pedantic, but ℤ︎ is a set (not a group) and even with 0 adjoined it only forms a group under the operators of addition, subtraction, and multiplication.. If you want a set that also forms a group under division you need to ‘upgrade’ to the set ℚ︎.
Basically unless you were having a very prolonged and loving relationship with the bucket, you were exposed to nothing of consequence. That doesn’t excuse the morons who kept this stuff, and if a kid took a souvenir home or there had been a fire it could have been a lot worse. They may have also had unacceptable levels of radon. If I worked there I’d want to know more, but just as a visitor I’d shrug and get on with life.

I’m wondering why they used R instead of Sv though. It’s a single source with a single quality factor, and were only concerned with the impact on humans.
I don't particularly qualify for maintainer as I have not been very active in open source, but I found a bit I could contribute to puppet-samba.

I have more free time lately and a difficulty I have found is easily locating places I could contribute without a huge time commitment.

Before I went in-house, I counted a number of Michelin-starred chefs as clients and I ate at most of their restaurants. I know what good food can taste like. While in France, I ate at a variety of highly-regarded local sit-down restaurants, expecting truly amazing food. I was not impressed, nor was anyone else in my group.

The ingredients were about on par with organic vegetables available at my local grocery store. (I live in a nice part of California, so we have better access to fresh organic heritage vegetables than almost anywhere else in the world--including Europe.)

While the food certainly looked much fancier than what I normally in in America, and the cooking was far better executed than most American restaurants, on a flavor basis it was merely average. Quite simply, I've had more flavorful food at a taco stand.
Yeah, I've had a few CS friends and internet people say things like that, like there is probably some programmer who solved the NP problem but no one knows it and of course there's the elite hacker who can do anything he wants thing; not really seriously but enough that it seems to be a meme in the CS world.
Huh? Google made it super easy to get a GCard, you just request it on a web form and it arrived a few days later. It was pretty common for L4 engineers (that's the level below senior) to have them.

They have already editorialised by converting the speed from knots

Anyway, still doesn't set an unofficial record by variant or type:

Absolute fastest I can find on that site is a 747-400 at 752 knots / 866 mph but I do have a memory of one of that type breaking 800 knots over the Pacific within the last few years.
Nitpick but sequences of numbers can diverge (converge to infinity) or be stuck in a cycle; it's more accurate to say limits of Cauchy sequences.

> evidence showing single dads get better treatment than single moms?

This is not the question that needs to be shown; while parent comment is indeed a single mom, she cited sexism as the obstacle. This is not necessarily due to her particular circumstance as a single mom but may refer to discrimination that all women face.

Sexism is easier to show, due to the intense research on it. Not knowing a priori her experience, every year research comes out of some think tank about gendered discrimination in the workplace; a google search should return results.
Indian here. If your manager is from India, he probably sucks. He is insecure, has zero empathy, leadership skills or any skills.

He probably memorized data structures and algo's interview questions and got a job at Amazon. He got ahead by sucking up to his boss and being political. His boss is probably an Indian too who sucks up to his boss and so on. But that is okay, as this company is stable and they just need people to slog.
In india there is a term "sangkamya" that means someone does what they are told to. No questions asked. Indians are very disciplined and years of slavery under British has conditioned us to be good workers.
> Of course, planes going the other direction will use extra, so overall we don't win

It's even worse than not winning. You actually lose if you have to fly in the same wind both ways, once as a headwind and once as a tailwind. The extra time in the into the headwind direction is more than the time saved in the with a tailwind direction.

If the ground distance each way is D, airspeed is V, and wind speed relative to the ground is w, total time is D/(V-w) + D(V+w) = 2DV/(V^2-w^2) = 2D/(V-w^2/V).

For 0 < w < sqrt(V), this is more than the 0 wind case. (For w >= sqrt(V), the headwind is so high that you can't make any progress toward the destination).
I second this. You'll almost never convince upper management the smooth-talking buddies they promoted could ever possibly be terrible to their employees.

Too late now, but the way to deal with it would have been first to go to HR, and then to your state's Dept of Labor if HR did not remedy it.
There was a time you could (and would) go to a _picnic_ in real life with the other people on the internet. Can you imagine that? Tradewars, chat, warez, Club Caribe, music mods... it was pure magic. I would trade a year on this internet to have that one back for a couple hours.
That sounds like a great app, thanks for the tip
LLS is an amazing resource.

It is a great source of useful information for patients and families. Anyone going through a similar process knows the horrors of googling for information. You end up with all sorts of pseudo-science (e.g. "paleo cured my cancer"), false hopes (e.g. mouse trials which sort of address particular variants of mildly related diseases), and sensationalist terrifying stories of the horrors of chemo.

It is also a great resource for finding support networks, both in-person and over the internet. (Seeing a therapist or joining a support group is so important for both patients _and_ those close to the patients!)
That isn't really unprecedent through out the history of work. There are, have been, and will be many fads where the emperor was eventually found to be wearing no clothes. This particular interviewing style is just one of many, and is already on the way out as people learn they aren't getting very far by cargo culting Google (e.g. see Stripe and Microsoft's new interview process).
The license plate example is a kind of nonsense magic example to just use the same things that the parent comment was talking about - you should also factor in to your analysis the absurdity of issuing an identical plate to every car, etc.

Instead, consider the example with the urns. I think that's a lot more realistic and illustrates the problem.
Another tidbit I learned today: S Jackson Street (running through the International District in Seattle) is, in fact, named after President Andrew Jackson.

>The discovery offers some radical new insights about the way neurons might be talking to one another, via a mysterious process unrelated to conventionally understood mechanisms, such as synaptic transmission, axonal transport, and gap junction connections.

One of the most humbling books I have ever read is Wetware by Dennis Bray. There is an unbelievable richness when it comes to computation and storage/transport of information in biological organisms and cells that are simply unparalleled.

I feel this is especially relevant given that we are (again) living in times where people talk a lot about the 'intelligence' or power of contemporary learning machines.

Some competitions like this only give you a certain amount of "cycles" per turn, so hand written solutions would have an "advantage" in that sense.

Even in the US something like that would trigger labor law protections (generally it would be treated as a constructive layoff, triggering unemployment benefits and any contractually or legally obligated severance benefits), so this story seems more like a fable than something that actually happened. Do you have any more details about this?

EDIT: Europe generally has stronger labor laws than the US, so if something wouldn't pass muster in the US, it almost certainly wouldn't pass muster in the EU.
Has Bitcoin Broken Free from Its Bear Market?
It's still subjective. We can argue all night about what does or doesn't deserve to have energy used on it, that doesn't change the fact that Bitcoin is a rounding error in terms of global warming.

In practice that sounds impossible. Am I supposed to audit the code? I probably don't even get to see the code, and even if I did we don't have any even theoretical way to audit the neural network parts.
> Though we fully utilize Workers, no Workers were harmed in the making of this site.
This might be true for many Indian folks. I had an Indian manager who was the kindest soul, cared deeply for the team, to the point where he would stay late if there was a high severity issue just for morale support and to help debug, focused heavily on career development for us... he let management push him around, which he shielded the team from... he got passed on promotion opportunities and eventually left. It was a huge loss for our team, and after he left, within 3 months the entire engineering team he built parted ways.
Stories like this are important.

Because sometimes the situation is bad for your boss too, the company is in financial straits, miscommunication, {insert other extenuating circumstances}.

... but sometimes your boss really is just an asshole, liar, alcoholic, and/or a sociopath.

Never assume the later off the bat, but never completely discount the possibility either. Because it'll probably happen at least once in an average career.
I think the trick with this matter is that as long as the incentive outweigh the risk to at least 1 actor at some point in time, they will attempt to make a move that can be seeing as insider trading. It becomes a matter of whether society and the company are ok with the risk and the mitigation efforts that are being implemented.

Let's not kid ourselves, people have been caught in stuff like insider trading for peanuts before.

No. Everything about that article is infuriating. We are fighting an enemy. Again and again we lose. The patient loses, the care team loses, the doctors lose, the family loses, the whole of humanity loses.

You have to believe you can win to continue to fight and you do have to fight quite literally with family, with friends, with yourself. But more generally we as a society have to be able to recognize an enemy and a battle when we see one. To remove, hide, obscure, or soften this language would be an insult to all those who have fought and lost in any capacity against this monster.

We fight, we lose, we die, repeat ... until we don't.
I really doubt that.

Shared autonomous cars would end up being treated even worse than rental cars. People would smoke in them, vomit in them, damage the upholstery, steal the radios, let their pets go to the bathroom, spill all kinds of stuff in them on the way home from Home Depot, and so forth.

Anyone who can afford it and has a place to park it will want to have their own self-driving car to avoid having to put up with the shared ones.

Ownership will also be more convenient, e.g. you can leave your stuff in your car when you park it. Your car is reserved for you to use whenever you want, so you don't need to wait for a shared car to become available.

That's not what reification means, it's more a form of Platonism (Idealism), plus. See The Meno and it's discussion of the forms (say, the "form" of a spoon.) Plato would reify democracy (although he hated it) but most of us certainly do not. A nominalist (even a Berkeley follower) could discuss democracy perfectly well.

Single dad here. Not just some guy who isn't married and had kids. I've had custody for the better part of the last 15 years.

During my time as a single dad, I began my career in in programming. I started working for others. I now work for myself. In that time ...

- Zero female superiors have asked me on a date.

- Zero female coworkers have asked me on a date.

- Zero female coworkers have commented on or complimented my appearance--I'm no Brad Pitt, mind you, but I also don't look like someone took a hatchet to a picket fence. The closest I've gotten to a female commenting on my appearance is someone saying she thought I looked a little like Mark Wahlberg.

- Zero comments have ever been made when I've shown up late due to something kid-related (like school being delayed and dropping them off at school 2 hours later than normal).

- Zero comments have ever been made when I leave earlier than everyone else for something kid-related (like picking them up from school).

- Zero comments have ever been made when I've missed entire days due to something kid-related (like a kid being sick, or a school holiday (which I've always taken as work-from-home days so I could be with them)).

- Zero comments have ever been made when I've taken a break mid-day to attend a school function. I do the function, come back asap, and get back to work without a hiccup.

- I've never been asked if or how kids (or being a single parent) might impact my work.

- I demand a higher salary explicitly because I have kids to support, want to provide them a good life, and I have never had that questioned.

- I have never once been asked to compromise when I say I cannot do something because it conflicts with my parenting, my kids' activities, or something I've planned to do with them. When I say I have something to do with my kids, that ends the conversation, because I do not have a partner who can do these things and they know this.

- I have never once had a client question if my kids will get in the way of 6-figure contracts.

- I have never once had a client complain or ask me to compromise when I decline to do something or cannot get to something because it interferes with my kids or parenting.

- I've never been denied a raise when I've asked for it, despite the fact that I openly do not compromise my time with my kids.

- I have never been denied a promotion when I've sought after them, despite the fact that I openly do not compromise my time with my kids.
