I understand your issue with the policy, and I think this is a fine stance to take in cases where relations between two countries are good. Sadly, that is not the case between the US and China. Focusing on race here completely ignores the geopolitical situation. This issue is also completely moot in any case where the influence of a foreign power isn't a concern, as many others have mentioned.

I'd also refute the idea that nationality is a proxy for race, especially for a country as large and diverse as China. China is _far_ from the only nation with an Asian populace--many of the ethnicities in China can be found in neighboring countries and across Asia.

When I say expense, I mean your time, your youth and the fact that you could have been getting paid a lot more in that time period; all of which are very expensive things to ask of anyone.

ElasticSearch does most of what you are saying in the box, can even have each day read into a different collection and query them on joined aliases. At least IIRC, I'm not an expert. When I first tried using it and Mongo, I had issues with ES geo indexing, but since then have used both with little issue. Just depends on the scenario.

This differs throughout the USA.

"Best" schools (<1%) will have what the article is describing (strong student mathematical problem solving communities lead by teachers with strong mathematical training). Typically very expensive, either directly through tuition or indirectly because they are public schools but only serve students in very high net worth zip codes.

"Very Good" schools (<10%) will include some of the epsilon-delta formalism but might have some curricular problems and a "gifted just means moving through the terrible not-real-math curriculum faster" problem that the article talks about.

"Decent" schools will teach how to compute derivative/integrals by rote and maybe talk a bit about the physical intuitions in a very hand-wavy way. Calculus is very much a continuation of Algebra or Trig where you learn some rules and how to pattern match and don't ask too many questions about why.

The other half of USA high schools? They don't even offer a Calculus course of any kind [1]. Which... if you don't teach it at all, you can't teach it wrong...

As an aside, AP CS has the same problem as the problem identified with AP Calc. AP CS is the epitome of a "Java School" course.

How about we force private entities in a dominant market position in any kind of information-distribution market to be common carriers?
If you pass over a moderately complicated junction at low to moderate speed there's a good chance the signallers either can, or just by default will, derail you safely.

The phrase is "trap points". A correctly designed junction, where possible, will have points ("switches" if you're American) that default to leading to a dead end, with buffers and then nothing important. If you enter that track section without a signaller choosing where you should end up, that's what will happen.

The reason isn't for the implausible scenario of train theft, it's to reduce the consequence of errors. A wrong side signal defect allows a train into the junction without points being set - what happens? With trap points the train is derailed, probably at low speed, not directed into traffic. Or a driver misses a danger signal, same outcome. Expensive but probably everyone walks away.

there's no worry for anyone working in tech
It's natural to be curious of others and other things and in the public realm, being able to look at stuff is a basic human right that extends to pictures on the internet. If you engage in society, then society has a right to at least look at you, again only in public spaces.

I believe in privacy. If I'm in my home, a bathroom, a private club or the like then you should not be subject to intrusion or recording without your permission. But I don't have the right to ask someone not to look at me when I am outside on the street and to me it seems weird that anyone would have a problem with that.
Australia is adopting a single source for medical history. I'm half-excited and half-terrified. It will be a goldmine for research over time. And possibly (probably) a goldmine for bad actors.
With these kind of things, we don’t really know.

I find synthetic voices, vocaloid and virtual actors (like “virtual” youtubers) to be interesting in that they when replacing something usually performed by a human, they often do it in way lower quality due to technical limitations.

So it theory here should be a lower appeal to it, but on the other hand there’s a ton of side effects and “disruptive” uses that make the technology useful for a population different from what was intended.

From the top of my head this “neutral” voice could be nice for phone guidance or voice translation, where the awkwardness of the voice could be an advantage. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a bumber of people came forward to declare this the thing they’ve been waiting for years.

"We discarded college faculty in the same way that we discarded local auto mechanics: by making all of the systems and regulations so sophisticated that they now require an army of technicians and specialized equipment."

This only means that technology changes and many industries are maturing. This is a good thing.

"We discarded college faculty in the same way that we discarded bookkeepers: by finally letting women do it after decades of declaring that impossible, and then immediately reducing the status of the work once it became evident that women could, in fact, do it well."

I never saw any supporting evidence that we are suddenly paying professors less because we know more women are getting positions.

Once a professor is tenured, they can pretty much do anything they want and have a job for life. I can't really say that about any job I've ever had.

I also don't think being a professor was ever a path to riches and wealth. It was a way to do what you love and still make a living.

Which BLE chip do you use? On the nRF51, it actually remaps -40dBm to -30dBm. With the newer nRF52, you can use NFC for OOB authentication for more security. I'd love to know more what you're working on.

Funny you mention magsafe, because that was defective too. They settled a class action but didn't actually fix anything. It would slowly toast it's own cable (probably due to dust in the connection) until the insulation frayed and you had to buy a new charger. Of course they would blame you for abusing the cable.

The only worse thing are Nazis organizing on public platforms is forcing them to congregate only with other Nazis on radical websites where no one will challenge their worldview.

Sorry, don't agree. Forcing them to congregate on unpopular websites is great because those websites have a terrible reputation and that massively hinders recruitment. Sure, they're echo chambers, but extremists already use private fora for more underground organizing activity and likewise there are people who specialize in monitoring and infiltrating those websites.

If your argument is that they just need to be talked around with reason and logic, you can always go to one of their websites and give it a try. Sure, deradicalization can work and it's great when it does, but generally the odds are poor and it's extremely labor intensive.

The government should be able to seek denaturalization of people who misuse the immigration system to oppress other immigrants (for example by ordering them to break laws, making them pay visa fees, etc).

This guy Katam was an immigrant himself, and became a US Citizen in 2009. If I was emperor, I would want him denaturalized. A year or so in prison is not enough punishment.
tldr; life is unfair.
Microsoft understands customer service though, and Google refuses to learn. Surely that’s relevant to SaaS.
>Consider looking it up & assessing whether you wish to apply the label to yourself.

But this isn't what will happen. Expressing skepticism about immigration - a fairly normal and mainstream opinion in the 1990s and early 2000s - can easily be construed today as "white nationalism" by many on the political left. It's not you who gets to define what your views are on these platforms, it's the "moderators".

> Australian citizenship is profoundly valuable.

Getting where I am now (Australian permanent resident) has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.

It included working casual night-shift jobs while studying to get a uni degree during the day (having an Australian degree improves your score towards a skilled visa).

For a long period I have been separated from my wife and daughter due to visa complications, it was heartbreaking.

In addition I had to give up my role as a start-up co-founder (because in order to maximise your skilled visa score, it's better if you are an employee at an Australian-based company - the start-up I was involved with was legally based overseas).

I haven't even visited my home country (Italy) since 2013, I am still in touch with family and some friends but the reality is that the connection to Italy is slowly fading away and I am long past that phase where you start to call your adoptive country "home".

Becoming an Australian citizen has been the main goal of my life in the past 8 years so I'm not going to pass on it lightly. At the moment, however, I'm taking my time to think about it.

Age discrimination for older software engineers is real. It gets enforced in subtle ways. It is up or out culture at the end.

Age discrimination doesn't get the same coverage as gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination. I wish companies also added age in the diversity reports, and if they did talk about why there are such a few percentage of older folks in engineering. If we wish to make engineering career to span several decades, we should all actively try to get o address this.

Anyone interested in a security first cryptocurrency you should check out Tezos.

Tezos uses proof of stake with a bond requirement that should solve the nothing at stake problem. The two big issues with proof of work is that it uses massive amounts of energy and unless you're the top coin or among the top 5 the chances someone will easily 51% attack your network is high.

Also Tezos uses a formal programming language for its smart contracts that should help reduce certain types of bugs.

It's an interesting project and as a disclaimer I own some.

The project had many growing pains but is on its feet now and I think that their first on chain governance vote went through recently, meaning the codebase can be updated in a decentralized manner.
It's not a novel argument, it begs the question from the outset (boil down to “people that are effective at calling out my bullshit”), and ignores objective evidence about the content and aims of the speech in question.

On the surface, allowing recent hires to be exempt from performance-based layoff programs isn't particularly unethical, as they may still be ramping up. It certainly seems like there's substance here, though, beyond just "think like a millennial" or "give recent hires a chance" rhetoric. Will be interesting to follow. It's essential to our entire industry that lawsuits like this draw lines in the sand - we're all in danger as we age if big tech can get away with age discrimination.
I'll care when wage discrimination against younger works is made illegal.
Governments can do what they like, by and large. Just because it's crazy doesn't mean they won't, and nothing about physical reality prevents them from doing this.

I'm not aware of any specific examples, so perhaps I'm being too paranoid in my first post, but it would not surprise me in the least to hear of, for example, a bill to eliminate DST in a state that somehow manages not to pass until a day or three after the DST change takes effect.

There have at least been some some bizarre calendar changes that many software systems fail to accommodate, which probably feeds into my above paranoia:

Clearly, reading product reviews is a science :-) but I think there is some good information there. It's not all puff and PR :-).

And my experience with the journalism at Air & Space has been positive, I have read both highly critical and very insightful articles from their journalists over the years. That experience gives me some trust in them which I could understand would not come on first exposure.

I think it would also be useful for them to find 8 pilots who have both flown the new plane and are critical of it versus other aircraft designed for a similar role. That will have to wait I think until there are more flight hours on it in more situations.

What I find most interesting about these types of systems are the differences between the AA-1 version (first article) and the one they consider 'first release.' In new systems there are lots of things that change during the initial testing and evaluation. This is true of software just as much as it is hardware, although hardware takes a lot more documentation.

Exactly. Comparing to a flight is to completely miss the point.
I bought a premium series 4 last week because of this ECG talk

Tried to see if my carrier t-mobile had the same 24 month payment plan, but not for this specific model and combination and I wanted it now

Imagined the idea of trying to get approved for my tax-free health account, but then realized I'm already paying for my whole healthcare plan by myself instead of an employer, so it would be redundant even if I could get the doctor plus tax authority to agree

briefly looked at all the cheaper alternatives to Apple Watch Series 4 GPS+Cellular Aluminum body, metal wristband. Quickly dismissed them.

You think deplatforming is going to stop him from killing people? It might make it more likely - he may convince himself that the deplatforming is part of the great conspiracy against normal people, and he has to strike a blow against it. (On the other hand, it makes it harder for him to convince others to join him.)

Don't deplatform him. Investigate him. Get a warrant and find out who's listening to him. Find out what's going on in their private communications - are they making actual plans, or are they just talking?

Deplatforming is about the laziest and least useful possible response. As Fins said, deal with the violence (including plans to commit it).
I don't really mind that some behaviors are being restricted. (Although I think removing the ability for apps to toggle WiFi is nonsense.)

The problem is that Google wants to break API compatibility without actually calling it what it is. Your app, which worked for years, is now broken and as far as the user is concerned it's your fault. I've been tempted to set the "max API level" property on my apps so that I don't have to deal with this anymore. (Oh, wait, Google changed Android to no longer enforce that property.)

If Google wants to make breaking changes to the API then give developers a reasonable deprecation timeline and don't let users install apps that target old API levels.

It’s a common thing, since sentences that are a year or less aren’t entitled to certain credits in some places (“good time” credit in the US federal system). Since this is a federal case, that is probably the reason.

Defense counsel will sometimes even ask for the extra day, since this credit will reduce the actual time served.

The ideal state of affairs is when you can have multiple platforms, moderated in different ways as they compete for customers in a free (i.e. competitive) market, where such moderation, or lack thereof, is a part of their pitch to new customers.

But we let companies monopolize whole segments of the market. And then every such segment becomes a vast echo chamber of whatever the prevailing public opinion at the moment is.
That's a very valuable comment.
The police weren't armed like today back in the 1950's, and guess what, individuals had MORE guns as a general population. The militarization of the police, less training, less acting as part of the communities they serve, etc. It's about conflict of personality and very little to do with real danger.

There is no need to run the code that you expect if the client is designed properly, and you are only sure you're running the code you expect until your server is hacked, which also becomes a non-issue if the client is designed properly. There are other reasons to want to self host: to be in control of your (encrypted) data so that it isn't lost if keybase goes under, for example. But security is not one of the reasons.

It's one thing to subscribe to gender roles traditional to your culture, but a totally different thing to base your attitude towards women on the perceived gender of a virtual assistant on your phone.

You can kind of make a logical link if you try, but I don't believe that's how it plays out in reality. It'll possibly be more relevant if/when these virtual assistants become indistinguishable from humans and perhaps have a physical form.
No, we got that one wrong. But, now we're on the path to correcting it. This is good and just and how things should work.
