But to my intuition, basic search doesn't feel like a machine learning task.
After reading some of the responses to my post however I'm trying to come up with a meaningful reason why I wouldn't consider IDF to be machine learning, given that it is updated as more documents enter the corpus and your system "learns" to re-rank existing result sets based on these new documents.

I'm also hyper-sensitive to this. Our office has a stairwell light that has to be straight up 5000K fluorescent. It's awful. I found that Hyperikon's LEDs are all extremely accurate in their color temperatures, well matched amongst themselves, and support dimming. I use their 2700Ks in the office, and made sure everything matched.

"The Government" (in NZ at least, I imagine also in many other countries with parliamentary systems) is very often used to mean the parties/politicians in charge. Short for "the governing parties," basically. Clearly that's what was meant: that arrests can not be directed from the top.
Incorrect.

The ISPs blocked within hours. It wasn't declared objectionable until much later.

There are catch all rules for objectionable content, but our ISPs weren't applying those rules to those websites even though they carry much equivalent content.

I don't know if they blocked at request of the politicians or police. But it is very possible the ISPs management and techos just did it. These are not huge organisations!

Why would you classify Aspergers as a disability?

It's like saying Superman's (yeah, fiction, but it's to highlight the point) x-ray vision is a disability, just because it's something most people don't have.

X-ray vision is clearly not a disability.

Aspergers isn't either.
I think 3d touch has problems but they are all tied to software. I find it extremely useful for keyboard cursor. It requires some finesse but the 3d touch version (as opposed to the long press available on iPad and iPhone XR) is more useful as it can do selection by changing pressure. It is not very accessible as it requires some finesse though.

Another feature I use all the time is 3d touch on apps which have quick shortcuts.

Where I agree is that there is too much of a fine line drawn between long press, drag and 3d touch and it is far from easy to be able to activate the desired one 100% of the time.
The problem may have been created by our norm becoming the 2-income household. Previously, one would simply move to the location of a suitable job. Now, the pair of people must find a pair of suitable jobs. It is easy to find a small city with a job for one person, but not easy to find a small city with a pair of jobs that might be wildly unrelated.

For example, one person is a petroleum engineer and the other person is an avionics repair technician. Finding one job or the other in a small city is easy. Finding both in the same small city is hard.
Let's not trust that trash tabloid for any thing nuanced. NYC is expensive in rent but not bad in every other category.

The issue is that AirBnB (and Uber and Lyft and ...) make the vast majority of their money in the very biggest markets--New York, San Francisco, etc. So, until those cities get sufficiently aggressive and simply stomp AirBnB flat, this kind of misbehavior will continue.

Generally the secondary or below markets are ecstatic to have AirBnB and Uber, et al. as they are underserved by hotels and cabs and other things.

However, you won't become a unicorn serving Urbana-Champaign, Harrisburg, Lubbock, Columbiana, etc. so the VC's are happy to keep turning a blind eye to the misbehavior.
In general terms, iOS accessibility is far greater than Android's.

> The Autusim Society themselves describe it as a ‘disability’.

Yeah, I've heard of "official" places doing that. To me, it seems quite unfortunate they'd take that approach.
"best margins" suggests highest profit as percentages of retail price right?

That sounds wrong. Toilet paper isn't a traditionally high margin thing, and I doubt they'd be able to wring out much more margin by buying the factory, or else everyone would do it. High margin products traditionally are either the luxury products, low volume products, or convenient/convenience products (chocolates by the till, sandwiches to go).

Now its possible that toilet roll is their most profitable product in absolute terms. Everyone needs toilet roll so they probably sell a lot.

So why doesn't it also apply to CRISPR editing of our somatic and germline cells? I suppose that we could carve an exception, in the interest of the public good. As we have for the War on Drugs. But that's a dangerous path, if one cares about personal freedom.
One thing is TX has the “Robin Hood” rule, which essentially is that rich school districts have to transfer money to the poor ones.

I think another thing is that there’s a lot of natural lived diversity. What I mean is, for example, my parents middle middle class neighborhood street looks like: black family, white family, Indian family, Hispanic family, European first generation family, just all in a row. And that’s pretty common. I think in part getting back to the housing thing, it’s within reach of most people.

As for the “extreme conservatives,” I don’t know. I think it’s one of those things that the media likes to pounce on and blows out of proportion. Yeah sometimes they do dumb stuff but generally speaking radically conservative proposals get floated by fringe political folks in red states just like radically liberal proposals get floated in blue states, then never goes anywhere. I think it’s more fodder for the news-tainment industry than actual policy making.

> very long words, hyphenation important

Oh don’t worry I prefer words like “Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedencomitéleden” to be one thing so I can just gloss over the blob. Only have to read the blob once to recognise the shape and know what it refers to. With hyphenation it’s a different blob every time, so then I might spend time reading 60 letters.

Hyphenation is for newspapers, where space is money.
It is a disability.

Sure, Aspergers is usual beneficial to techies from a performance perspective, but it can be a massive disadvantage when dealing with people within an organisation.

I used to work for a local authority in an sysadmin position and it was very fortunate that HR understood Aspergers, or my lack of social awareness would have got me sacked a few times.

The upside of having Aspergers is only part of the story.
Sure it is. Stores rent out space on shelves to manufacturers all the time. The manufacturer even stocks the shelf.

And the store gets to pay them only 2 to 3 months later on top of all of that.

Even when stores buy stuff and stock it themselves, they don't take any risk on it. Unsold stuff gets returned, and they only pay once the merchandise is sold.
> I think we have no choice but to proceed slowly, cautiously, but under full transparency.

but if there's any slight advantage to be had by going faster (e.g., there's a moratorium on editing certain traits), then those who would disregard the "rules" may gain and therefore, create a black-market anyway.

I think the only reasonable thing to do is to have unfetted access, and the lowest possible price point. Then let darwinian selection take place.

X-ray vision was never considered a developmental disorder, because it didn't put Clark Kent at any significant disadvantage during his development.

Asperger's, unfortunately, does.

The "draw on top" hole is a known issue on Android that iOS does not share (since you can't do that on iOS afaik).

Google has several time been tempted to just remove it but since many have legitimate use cases for it that are very popular (like facebook messaging bubble), it has been not been removed fully.

Like it is mentioned in the talk, you need the 'draw on top' permission to do so. The caveat is that apps downloaded from the play store get it by default.

From what I have seen, the talk seem to only talk about the doability of such an attack, not that it has been seen in the wild ?
In theory, you could craft an app with a legitimate draw on top behavior + the malware one and get it published that way. The approval/rejection on the play store is very obscure though, so hard to get any more info on that.

IIRC, Google has also added a "an app is drawing on top of the screen" permanent notification when an app does so, causing many people to be pissed at this 'useless' notification. ffs.

iOS does have a11y capabilities as well, so there is that surface of attack, although I don't know if it is exploited.
It has been years China actually do this.

I believe this started from World of Warcraft. I remember I was 16 when I started to play World of Warcraft, all kinds of regulation started to appear in this game, for example: needs to register with an adult ID card, adding flesh to skeletons, no longer gaining experience when you play too long for a day etc.

For China itself, I think it's just a typical culture resist, just like pop music in the 70s (It's actually a big deal if you try to listen to Taiwan pop music, but young people just love it).

But like other posts mentioned in this thread, it's far more a problem about how people think, just like Europe could probably do this as well. Parent themselves think kids playing video games is a guilt, much more than the government. It's pretty sarcastic that in China, typically parents spend more time on their smartphone. However back in the day, parents don't have time to play with video games because they have less time to be addicted like kids. So they tried to forcibly control their kid about playing video games without any consideration. There even quite some parents who send their kids to do electroconvulsive therapy, just like the movie "A Clockwork Orange".

I personally think the video game is not a problem. Most adults won't play video games all day long because they have their work to do, but kids in school just have to deal with senseless homework, without seeing any points of doing it. When I look back, I always think I should fight more with parents and school, and spend more time on things I like, homework is not cost effective anyway.

I strongly believe the society should fix all other things instead of fixing kids. The problem is, fixing kids just seems too easy than those hard ways.

Would tend to say the salaries on the jobs listed there are a little on the low side compared to what you could probably get for those jobs. As it’s targeting developers outside of Switzerland, perhaps that’s led to a bias downwards.

It’s common story for people findig their first job in Switzerland to end up with a low end salary thinking its high. Then they find out how much it costs to live here...

I agree with you competely. The chinese government should not be forcing this.

The reason parents jump on such meassures is that parenting is very hard. Everytime you make or enforce a rule you put some distance between you and your child. And while that's necessary it can be very unpleasant. Personally, we are not permissive at all but we are always glad for when some external circumstances forces what we think is best.

So there is a real danger that parents are tempted to delegate their parenting to the government because it's much easier and also because it absolves them of responsibility. Of course, that is a spectacularly bad idea.

That's completely disingenuous, and deceptive. What does Prop 13 have to do with keeping at-risk people in their homes?

That's not what Prop 13 is about, it treats golf courses and property speculation the same as people on disability or pensions. It treats vacation homes and investment property the same way.

If it was about keeping at-risk people in their homes, there would be some mention of that. If it were about that, Prop 13's effect would be mostly to keep at-risk people in their homes. But the majority of what Prop 13 does is reward the super wealthy and jack up the incentives for speculation on real estate. Compare the tax incentives handed out to the wealthy compared to those tax incentives given to those in need, is there any chance that Prop 13 is meant for those at need?

Be honest here, does a Howard Jarvis tax bill sound like something aiming at helping those in need, or is the "help" just a cover for a scheme to hugely increase wealth inequality, and force larger tax burdens away from the wealthy to the less wealthy?

So don't give us those false accusations that wanting to fix the horribleness of Prop 13 means wanting to kick people out of their homes, those two concepts are not connected.

Thanks for all answers I got yet :-)

What I can see from job submissions on my side project https://fullstackjob.com is, that for at least 50% of posting companies/recruiters, Full Stack is "just a bunch of skill's". For mostly all of them it includes both Front- and Backend. SOme of them include DB knowledge, but not always clear, if they mean "just query lang" or DBA skills.

In my opinion, when I hire somebody Full Stack, it is mainly about the fact, that this guy then can understand a complex software from front- to back and forward, but not that he can develop the whole thing.
You probably could. Windows 10 and XBOX have a family thing where you can set times and block applications. There is an app for android called screentime that does a similar thing. You can also set time limits on PS4 accounts (they have to be PSN account though, I think)
The most important aspect of development in most companies is the developer him/herself. It’s typically also the most expensive resource tied to development. At least if you look at it from a management perspective.

This means that it’s extremely risky to build things in hipster languages because the pool from which you can hire is extremely small. It also means you’ll have to spend a lot of money building tools and libraries that are “just” available in more popular languages.

On top of that, most companies don’t need to scale things to the point that Netflix does, and even if you do, PHP was good enough to run Facebook before PHP got fast, Python was good enough to run Reddit, Node is good enough to run Netflix and Ruby was good enough to run Github.

I mean, why would you ever chose Rust for your project from a business/management perspective? To save a few bucks on iron while increasing your development costs by hundreds of thousands and making vacant positions impossible to be filled?

On the flip side, why would you bother joining a hipster language as a developer? Right now 35% of the jobs in my country are for C#, another 35% is for JAVA, 25% of them are for PHP or Python, the remaining 5% is for every other language but typically c/c++ for robotics. JavaScript/typescript is involved in quite a lot of the positions, but almost no one is doing a JS backend. There isn’t a single OCalm or Rust position available in my entire country. I’m not sure there has ever been a Rust related position.

Management doesn’t care about technical reasons, and it never will. Developers tend to go where the jobs are, even if they have hobby projects somewhere else.

Maybe Rust will somehow manage to break through, Python did after all. But I think Python had a huge amount of help from being the replacement for JAVA at many universities. I don’t see that happening for Rust.
Because Costco are taking a risk. You can only have X different widgets on a shelf, its a limited resource so you can't just let every brand in to sell their wares and take a cut. This in turn means Costco has to take on other risks. They're liable for fakes, they're liable if something doesn't sell (I assume Costco probably does sale or return for new suppliers? But there are limits to this). They're doing the fulfilled by Amazon role as well.

Its the difference between a Farmers Market and wholefoods. You as a consumer probably have nothing to do with the market organisers, and they don't have any particular responsibility toward you.
