A personal site is certainly something I've considered a few times. I do like the idea of a space for your own work away from corporate platforms, and having something that comes up when you search for your own name to show potential employers/contacts.

However, I've then always considered against it because:

1. I'm never happy with anything simple, so any new project like this would inevitably become ten times more complicated than it arguably needs to be. Before too long, it'd end up being a tech demo for the ten new programming languages I was interested in learning that week.

May as well put the effort into things with an audience.

2. I genuinely like having some semblance of privacy, and think fondly about the old days when people were encouraged not to share so much information about themselves online. It's why I basically have no pictures of myself on any social media platform, have only about two, maybe three voice recordings online ever, etc. Also feels a bit safer, especially given the ease in which mobs/witch hunts seem to developer over 'controversial' comments and political views.

Having a personal sites seem like it'd lose that, and increase the level of risk in general.

Durable, nationwide discounts on low-margin, premium products aren't a norm in the grocery industry. It would be similarly noteworthy if Kroger started selling dry-aged prime ribeyes at $8/#. (Less so if Costco did it, but Costco isn't a normal grocer).
You are retarded. A huge number of people want to rent for one reason or another. A lot of people can only ever afford to rent because they choose to not save their money. Chastising people who work in the rental market is really, really dumb. Would you rather make it illegal to rent? Buy a house or be homeless? Or maybe you want all housing to be Soviet apartment blocks? Just shut up dude.
Plus there's no (or very little) risk of the courier service employing rubber-hose cryptanalysis.
The combination of false accusations and dropped cases probably indicate that it's not unreasonable to seek corroborating or exonerating evidence from the police perspective. That said, they aren't forcing the victim to turn over anything... just like in another thread you don't have to let a doctor examine you.

But the evidence needs to be gathered, and if an accuser is unwilling to cooperate, there is very little the police can do in terms of gathering that evidence.
Not really, i think it's fine. Here i took a pic of the watch.

There are a few very important caveats that they miss though. Revenue determinants are heavily based on conversations with healthcare payers to determine market size which dramatically effects revenue projections.

Nice. Thanks for sharing the stackoverflow link. Will check that.
I bike to work through gridlock and if you bike smart it's really not the hellscape people make it out to be. Filter on reds to the front so people on the opposite lane about to gun the left see you, and take your lefts by pulling over in front of the perpendicular lane and just go straight on the light change, then all you really have to worry about is potholes damaging your rim and your eyes can stay fixed forward. I was so happy to learn that left turn 'hack,' I haven't had to change a lane since, or check my mirror for that matter.

I have seen close calls by other bikers but they are either 1) riding their bike like they are in the suburbs (in other words, they might as well be deaf and blind), 2) clearly highly followed on Strava with vibrant tight neoprene and riding like its a closed course in the countryside, or 3) fixed gear prick skid stopping and aggressively weaving all over traffic with a Bluetooth speaker and calf tattoos. If you see any of these bikers, keep your distance.

Chase Fails to Read the Room
From article
“They might be selling those at cost or as loss leaders just to get people into the stores,” Besecker said.
Your deceptive edits are...deceptive. The “it might work” was preceded with a hypothetical condition and then followed with the real condition. It wasn't “its theoretically impossible but it might work”, but, “its theoretically impossible; if satellites could carry transmitters two orders of magnitude more powerful than they actually can, it might work.”
I moved, in my 30's, to a non-English-speaking country. I tried Babble and DuoLingo. Babble was crap, and DuoLingo was alright at slowly expanding my vocab, but the sentences were idiotic. One example was "The horse is touching me" which I found particularly useless. I also tried private lessons, but the cost was high and required more effort than I had time for.

Rosetta Stone has, so far, been the best, precisely because it relies on immersion.

The downside is that I think the situations are traveler centric, and overly simplistic.

To my mind, the best way I've improved is by memorizing "scripts" of common interactions. For example, ordering coffee, or memorizing answers to the common questions people ask me about myself.

I've never said "The boy jumps over the water," in any language, but I have said, "I'd like a double espresso with hot water on the side, no milk or sugar" or "I'll be at home at 2 pm" many times. As I add scripts, my vocab improves.

Most fluent immigrants I've spoken to say that watching a ton of TV in the language was a massive help.

They could offer immunity against crimes not related to a strict list that they may find on your phone.

It would also have to include verbiage about parallel construction practices.

You fundamentally misunderstand the situation if you think straight white males are being oppressed.

Consider two people who are equally qualified; one is a straight white male, the other is a minority gay woman. The fact that they're equally qualified demonstrates the minority gay woman is a better hire, because she did the same as the straight white male, but with fewer resources. It stands to reason then that providing her with additional resources will result in a higher output than what the straight white male would be capable of.

The reality is, straight white males are given plenty of extra resources and opportunities, and despite that they're very frequently on the same level as people who have been given less. Those are the situations that are relevant; no one is hiring unqualified people to do jobs.

If Harvard accepted every qualified applicant, they'd have to triple their enrollment. The reality is there are very often too many well qualified people and not enough slots, be it a job or any admissions/application process. Pretending like less qualified people are being let in, and the straight white males are being denied despite being just as good is a complete lie.

By providing opportunity to minorities in hiring, Google is simply leveling the playing field. It's beginning the process of giving those minorities opportunities that have been granted to straight white males for literally millennia.
"[...] deployed troops were given desert camouflage. While this concealed the soldier, their additional equipment made them more noticeable as it was darker than the camouflage."

My reading is that they found camouflage clothing isn't sufficient, and they wanted a pattern that could be applied to all equipment, which is where the cost of multiple patterns would go up.

Shade: An Urban Design Mandate
You skipped a step, jumping straight to a possible solution. But that may not be the only solution, and even if it were, it shouldn't prevent us from acknowledging the problem.

And it gets blurry when the private parties are ISPs or phone companies.

Edit: Alright, taking the hypothetical that the solution is compelled speech, I'll try to explain how it's less bad. First is that there's a distinction between original speech and conveying the speech of others. E.g. it would be pretty awful if ISPs or phone companies started interfering with what they'll transfer through their networks. I frankly disagree with calling what a telecommunications provider does 'speech' - they're paid to move bits, like a moving service is paid to move furniture. And second, if you don't look at it through such an abstract "free speech vs. compelled speech" lens, but through a pragmatic "who can speak and what can they say" one, you'll see that almost no-one has effective free speech. Online, almost all of the audience is on (a small handful of) private platforms, carried by private ISPs, hosted on private servers. Offline, people spend much of their time in privately-owned spaces, such as airports. If you cut all those away, how much speech does the great 1st Amendment buy you? You can yell on a street corner (not Wall street though - those streets are private!), or in the woods, and send a few paper letters through the government-ran post office. You'll reach maybe a handful of people. Meanwhile speech blessed by the platform owners will reach millions. Difference from complete censorship is negligible. That's why you shouldn't legislate in a vacuum divorced from reality, where only platonic ideals of free or compelled speech exist. You'll choose an ideal free speech law, and the effect will be that a handful of corporations will get to decide what can be said.
regarding the stuff they already have: doesn't whatever they have have huge historical value? it could be the difference between being a lost civilization and being well-preserved.

I'm not saying it should continue but if I could vote between destroying it or putting it on mars in a time capsule to be opened in 1,000 years I'd probably choose the latter. (not saying collection should continue.)

humanity has zero qualms about reading historical letters among famous people but these days it's all digital so we would be a lost civilization otherwise.

I don't know if it has access to this stuff but if it does wouldn't it be better to put it somewhere for the future? Though the way we have no qualms about opening Pharaohs' tombs in Egypt presumably we can't count on our direct descendents not opening it early either. I don't know how anyone can make a legit time capsule.

what do you think? better to destroy all that data?
This seems to be to basically be the logical conclusion of profitable FLOSS software, no? The entire software stack is free and open-source; what the end-user is paying for is an attached service, like the infrastructure hosting/bandwidth, cloud storage, software support, updates, etc.

It seems preferable to the donation model.

I’m sorry for not having something smarter to say, but what the actual fuck? That sounds like what a tech company would say to try to justify their new data policy. That’s terrible coming from an institution that is supposed to protect people under its jurisdiction.

A Case for Critical Public Interest Technologists
Jack Boggle and others have stated you’re not getting above 5 percent risk adjusted returns in the public markets over the next decade at least. You can realize 7-10% returns making a note seller financing. I would assume we’re already of the understanding a last ditch effort is necessary to obtain necessary returns.
More likely they get a warrant for the male partner's phone and get the data involuntarily... this is probably the closest actual equivalence here.
No, but the blue digis were mothballed almost three years ago now, so it was obviously regarded as a mistake. You may be right about the blues, I have no idea.

You didn't read the post you replied to. The pilots being forced to diverge (and why) in order to recover the aircraft was discussed.

> They cut the electric trim back in and inexplicably did not correct the trim or further manage it.

That's incorrect. They did in fact apply manual trim adjustments after the trim cutout were reset (see the graph on page 26, specifically the TRIM UP-MAN).

> I suspect that Crew Resource Management was not effective at that point and both pilots were distracted.

And I suspect you haven't read enough about this topic (or half read it like the post you're replying to) and are jumping to unfounded conclusions.

In that case, another agency would simply pick up the slack.

I'll propose an alternative idea. Repurpose the NSA towards hardening communications infrastructure in terms of both reliability and anonymity. Use them to help test software for vulnerabilities or even design better software.

At this rate, realistically, how many years until they (and their brethren) are the power behind the throne. In a surveillance era, some version of GoogleCIA will have the ability to move or alter elections in any way they like. It's always for the best reasons of course.
Is an individual developer in a position to weigh future recruitment challenges?

Maybe, particularly if it's a smaller organisation.

In any case, it's obviously a management decision at some point, as all things are. However, it seems quite reasonable for me for a developer to advocate using a more suitable tool even if it's not an existing choice/standard within the organisation, and if they make a good case, it seems quite reasonable to me that management might then back them despite the downsides if the upsides appear greater.

Jude from Golden here. TLDR answer on this important question and I’m interested in the community ideas on this problem set:

1. High visual transparency and open edit logs eg golden.com/wiki/Morphogenetic_Engineering/activity

2. Using real profiles so we can prevent bots / multi accounts etc.

3. Cross checking SPO/fact triples in the prose against our structured data to validate information.

4. Cross checking against multiple sources

5. Using high resolution citations where we actually highlight the claim (please test our highlighting of a claim and citation tool to see this in action).

6. Having source trust ranked citation URLs.

7. Opening up primary sources eg articles of incorporation as evidence for claims.

8. Having a strong audit log of where information comes from.

9. Using a github style ‘issues’ rather than wiki talk in order to discuss content issues.

10. Giving UI affordances to argue out points and give evidence to claims made in these arguments.

We are still working on this UI / AI and general community to really dig into this core challenge.

Why are you only concerned about the government accruing mass troves of data, then losing them in breaches?

>In terms of risk / benefit, this is a no-brainer. We couldn't possibly ever gain enough to outweigh the risks associated with having such a massive collection of intimate data.

While I'm inclined to agree, there are many people who happily give up the most intimate details of their lives for extremely small conveniences.

Look, I'm not a domain expert in the medical side of this, but the paper says they used a dataset, described in it's referenced paper as:

"This challenge
leveraged a database of dermoscopic skin images from the
ISIC Data Archive1
, which at the time of this publication
contains over 10,000 images collected from leading clinical
centers internationally, acquired from a variety of devices
used at each center. The images are screened for both privacy
and quality assurance. The associated clinical metadata has
been vetted by recognized melanoma experts. Broad and
international participation in image contribution ensures that
the dataset contains a representative clinically relevant sam-
ple". [Gutman et al.]

This paper selects a subset relevant to a certain condition (beyond my expertise).

But that sounds pretty good to me. If the test set in the paper is carefully randomly selected, as the authors described (and I've no reason to disbelieve them) then performance on test set should be a good proxy to actual performance on unseen data, as the underlying dataset is designed to be representative of clinical practice.

Of course that's not the same as having a clinically useful product.

But commenters here are knocking these cancer researchers as if they are idiots, and saying very harsh things about their methods, when it seems like 3 minutes reading their Dataset section gives reasons to think their setup is actually pretty ok?
