> Careers that have higher status and entry requirements have the advantage that they don't cannabalize their middle-age job prospects like CS does.

Do you have any studies or evidence to back that assertion up? If the number of people working in a field doubles every five years there will then at 20 years with perfect retention only 7.5% of the population of workers will have 20 years experience and half will have less than five.

High status doesn’t really help that much if the economics and funding environment are awful. Professional actors are not looked down on by many and even fewer look down on biology or chemistry professors but trying to get into those careers is a poor choice unless your parents can support you if it doesn’t work out. Vicious competition for a small number of coveted spots leaves to many people spending years of their lives only to drop out of a tournament they lost, with precious little to show for it.
Which can be answered with a simple "get lost".

edit: Since some people seem to disagree, why not? I fail to see how its any more complicated then those two words. You put in the effort to organize the bookclub, you have the prerogative to say who can participate. If you dont like that make your own bookclub. Forums have thrived on this concept for decades and it only got complicated once they became business enterprises.

Maybe to phrase it more broadly outside of the organization aspect and for general social interaction. You dont have a right to be part of a social group or go to a certain party. If I dont like you I likely wont spend time with you.
I agree about the advice to reuse the stuff you have; that is what I do. Reuse is better than recycle. You can also give to someone else who does not have it if you no longer need it and they do need it.

However, sometimes the bag is not needed at all and you can carry it by hand.

They should not ban the plastic bag you already have; only to restrict manufacturing new ones (although there may be other problems with that, which the article also mentions, and they have to figure out how to do with that, too).
The Perils of AI Bias
Not sure why this is being downvoted. Where is the link so I can see the digitized version? This should be the first step. I’m guessing they’ve done this and it’s just a click baity article. But if not before even talking to journalists they should have taken photos of every page and put them on a GitHub or other similar place. Otherwise they get an A+ for hilarious hypocrisy.
Banks are not like a giant piggy bank with your savings in it. They create money when they create loans. They're not protecting "your money" with things like this, they are protecting their profits.
That is creative for sure but wouldn't work in London. Only the official black cabs can use bus lanes. I suppose you could hire a driver for about £40k a year. Less if you let them use the vehicle while you're abroad.
Isn't the person who installed the device the one who is liable? Just like the law applies to regular cameras and microphones?

"In the days before the Internet you only found Warp records in independent record shops" ? Are you sure about that? That's not really true in the UK, both HMV and Virgin stocked early Aphex, and I think my Selected Ambient Works came from Our Price of all places on week of release. You couldn't get more mainstream where I lived.

I wouldn't say the Beeb banned dance music, either. I first heard LFO's LFO on radio one, which is synonymous with WARP.

As for Sabres - Screamadelica won the Mercury music prize with Weatherall in charge. It's not like they were off the radar or anything.

Autechre started out quite normal, but have morphed into probably the most complex out of everything that you've mentioned. They're well-known, but their music is anything but mainstream today - it's a running joke that they used to make music :)

I think I came across as more disparaging to codes of conduct and those kinds of things than I meant to — they certainly have a place.

One example where you’d want one, where everyone has high social skills, is during a negotiating summit: you want to clearly define the boundaries of when and where are appropriate to negotiate, not because people would be offended, but because people have different (valid) expectations and it helps to established a shared set of norms upfront, to ease the contentiousness later.

If I tried to do the same for my friends negotiating where to eat tonight, they’d all pretty quickly agree the answer was somewhere I wasn’t.

I think it has more to do with the scale and conflict inherent in the gathering, rather than social aptitude, per se. The smaller and more aligned the group, the less useful formal process is.

100% agreed. I'm African. But the real order of my identity is Asante (by birth and heritage), Ghanaian by British demarcation, African by continent. The tie gets looser at every step of the way. No, I don't have or share an African identity. I won't celebrate a Kenyan breakthrough (assuming I hear about it) the same way I'll celebrate, say, an Indian breakthrough in malaria medication. This FUBU, Ubuntu, global Africanness that the OP alluded to doesn't exist in reality. It's a pity.
The advertising infrastructure is largely funded by the big advertisers, and legal issues certainly matter to them.

When (for example) Toyota is paying a bunch of money to target customers in France, they're playing with the same rules as Ford is when targeting the same customers. They don't have to do things against the law to compete in advertising, and they'll even be eager to identify competitors breaking advertising law to screw them over; there has been lots of legal action taken as a result of such industry self-policing to ensure that competitors aren't able to benefit from misleading advertising.

Sure, there are lots of businesses who would by "under the table" data and apply it illegally, and it is a huge advertising market - but it's absolutely dwarfed by the much, much, much larger advertising market funded by the major international public companies. The advertising money flowing from a single company such as Procter&Gamble or Nestle is larger than all the total advertising turnover from whole smallish industries. If you cut off the tracking-adtech companies from the legal market, it's like restricting oxygen for them - they'll still have some customers, but they'll get an order of magnitude less money to do their things.
I witnessed this many years ago when my grandad was in an eye clinic over three days for continued monitoring and tests for further therapy. He was in a room with a couple of guys, in their beds, in their PJs. If you didn't know it, you would think they were just plain sick. Luckily, they were not, non of their issues was threatening, but because of the attire and the whole "lay in bed, wait for your next test" thing, it was really gray. They surely can't read or watch the TV, but c'mon, just let them wear something they enjoy or walk around...

To be honest, I think he is more of a musician’s musician and a bit hard to “get” ? Not in the UK - I would say Selected Ambient Works vol 1 is one of the best records of the '90s. Still stands up very well today.
Pooping is taboo. Periods are taboo. Being gay is taboo. Psychedelic are taboo. Death is taboo. Money in my country is taboo.

Hell, for a long time, things like tattoos, breast feeding, and psychoanalysis were taboo.

In some culture, women have to hide behind religious clothing because their body is taboo.

A taboo is just a symptom of a society being sick. Taboo get people frustrated, violent, judgemental, unhappy.

It's in the same category as a dogma, as a basic "bad" or "good" label, as a blindness faith or a never criticized tradition. It's inertia. It's simplistic.

But the funny thing is... taboo is nothing special either. Just human nature.
I don't believe corporations should always have the same rights as individuals, no. I certainly don't think they should have more rights.

Modern C++ kind of.

Gang of four book was written with Smalltalk and C++ examples.

Back in the 90's we had Mac OS PowerPlant, CSet++ on OS/2, OWL/VCL/MFC/ATL on Windows, Motif++ on UNIX, Telligent, and a myriad of ORM, distributed computing, image libraries and what not written in OOP C++.

Then came Java, took the best practices out from OOP C++, and two decades later 90's C++ is known as Java OOP and people act as if C++ OOP never happened.
To attract capital of course.

"Money can be raised for Africa, not in Africa."

Most venture capital is still still skeptical of pumping money directly into sub-Saharan Africa and would rather do it via a company registered in a well regulated area.

It should not come to you as a surprise that most of the promising, and/or funded African startups are incorporated either in Delaware or California.

Initiatives like Stripe Atlas are there specifically for these two purposes:
1) To allow foreign entities to do business in the US
2) To allow foreign entities to raise capital in the US, regardless of their primary market of operation.

The second is testimony to why African startups would rather incorporate elsewhere. Funding pools in Africa are small and foreign investment in hesitant, so any serious African startup will, statistically, have better chances incorporating elsewhere.
If you want a job doing basic scientific research the entry level qualification is a doctorate. That’s certainly true in universities and it’s equally true in biology and chemistry though that’s probably not enough. You almost certainly need a post doc or two. Physicists have enough outside options that if they want to get out the post doc is unnecessary but getting a doctorate is a terrible financial decision. That’s what happens when the government does a careful study of how to reduce the prices of highly skilled scientific labour and then follows the recommendations.

> Government and Universities Create Domestic Labor Shortages of Scientists

> During the late 1990s I became convinced that in order to orchestrate lower wages for scientists, there would have to have been a competent economic study done to guide the curious policy choices that had resulted in the flooded market for STEM PhDs. For this theory to be correct, the private economic study would have had to have been done studying both supply and demand so that the demand piece could later be removed, resulting in the bizarre ‘supply only’ demographic studies released to the public. Through a bit of economic detective work, I began a painstaking search of the literature and discovered just such a study immediately preceded the release of the foolish demography studies that provided the public justification for the Immigration Act of 1990. This needle was located in the haystack of documents the NSF was forced to turn over when the House investigated the NSF for faking alarms about a shortfall.

The moderate reasonable interpretation of what you are saying is a solid criticism: misinterpretation is still possible and we don’t have the time to all go to law school and explain what “mens rea” means to each other.

But some level of explicit communication still scales better than silence and implicit expectations.

But they were not "included". Nobody forced them or made the decision for them. The countries (peoples, governments) made their choice. I think that some of them, if not all, even had referendums on joining the euro.
"I'd be more than happy to support food waste recycling if someone can provide good evidence that it actually is environmentally beneficial."

I'd suggest checking out a resource like "City to Soil": https://www.gerrygillespie.net/city-to-soil.html or "Ecologically sustainable recovery of bio-waste" https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/37... or anything at "Zero Waste Europe" https://zerowasteeurope.eu/.

The key points: Food is the basis of the human economy. Collecting and composting food waste closes the loop and completes the nutrient cycle in the soil we use to grow food.

Not to mention: half the problems we have with traditional dirty landfills is that the unsorted food waste starts to decompose (releasing methane) and creates a hot environment that causes everything else to degrade in a toxic manner. As soon as you take it out, you have a "dry" landfill, where currently unrecyclable single-use things can be stored in GPS-tagged storage sites, until someone finds a better use for them and/or we start to phase them out.

That may make sense internal to a library, where you’ve established idioms.

But as a counterpoint, I only know what you meant by the first expression because I read the second expression.

I actually agree with you in large part, that short variable names can have more meaning within an established set of idioms because they allow you to parse whole statements at once. But there’s a trade-off involved, because mathematics can take symbology further than that’s useful.

For example:

E[i=0;5](i**2)

sum([i**2 for i in range(0,5)])

So it often comes down to a matter of taste.

So... can you explain more what you mean by “my book club will not be a safe space. It will be open to everyone who has read the book” means in practice?

Do you mean, “we’re going to discuss Huck Finn and not worry about which words offend the sensibilities of liberals and be annoyed at those who want to prohibit certain words. We expect you to bring $10 for your share of the barbecue.”? Cause thats still kinda a code of conduct, its just a different one than the author would have.

If the data is occasionally bad, but law enforcement relies on it, bad things will happen.

Now that I think of it bad things will happen as well even if the data was accurate.
I think this problem is best solved by

1. Honoring the plain text, and original intent of the Constitution

2. Holding law enforcement personally liable for their mistakes (i.e ending immunity)

3. Ending the rubber stamp warrant process where law enforcement routinely lies to obtain warrents

4. Ending the moronic 3rd party doctrine exemption to the 4th amendment

What I do not think it s a resolution is putting the tax payers on the hook for monetary compensation for the bad actions of law enforcement, that provides zero incentive for law enforcement to change their aggressive, unconstitutional, and authoritarian methods, policies and procedures

I mentioned to my Haskell teacher in uni that I did 2 years of intensive Prolog for an AI course at another uni and so that I grasp the basics or ‘everything recursion’ (mind you, this is 25 years or so ago). He got angry and said the two have nothing in common and if I believe that I definitely should pay more attention. It was weird as I did not say they are alike; just that they share some concepts which are usually hard to understand for imperative programmers, but, after 2 years of breathing Prolog really are second nature.
Can you walk me through a situation where you could use a codeword to the bartender, one that is known by every female in the establishment, but not, eg, simply talk to a staff member, email them, or call them — and how doing so is more discreet?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying I literally can’t imagine that being useful for stopping someone I’m afraid of committing crimes against me, because shared codewords don’t actually solve a problem I’ve had in such situations.

No one is saying there shouldn’t be a discreet way to report abuse — I’m saying having to publicly say it to the bartender using language that every female in the establishment knows to be a sexual abuse report isn’t a serious suggestion for discreet reporting.

I’d like to hear how I’m wrong, though.
