That's probably BLM, state gov, or native American land. It's not as bad as it seems because the leases are typically 99 years. Countries such as a Thailand will have 99 year leases. A few will have 200 and 300 year leases. Lots of homeowners in the UK don't own the land their house is on.

I am an experienced polyglot software engineer and research scientist with 10+ years of experience working on projects spanning robotics, web scale data analytics, geospatial, and fintech. I’ve spent most of the past 8 years working on machine learning in a variety of contexts. Currently working in quant finance / fintech, but am looking for something new due to large amounts of restructuring / shuffling of management.
There is a lot of politics involved in school cafeteria lunches- nutrition, allergies, religious restrictions, quality, cost, big food conspirists and lobbyists and whatever nutrition fad is current all have proponents who are perfectly willing to tie up school board meetings and otherwise push their agenda to the best of their ability. I'd have to think any gov't based approach would attract similar.

I read an obscure futurist book years ago in which a pretty cool picture of concrete steps toward becoming a stellar civilization were laid out.

A big point was that there are lots of oxidized metals on the moon. With enough heat, you can drive off the oxygen, giving you metal for construction and air to breathe.

What's really in deficit there is hydrogen, which you can bring up (although we've now found water there so maybe need less of that?). The rest can be found in the asteroid belt (turns out some asteroids are made out of something resembling tar - plenty of carbon and nitrogen).

The delta V to get off the moon is less than earth, and the lack of atmosphere means less drag to deal with, so smaller rockets and bigger payloads. Also with the lack of atmosphere, rail launch facilities are possible without killing passengers. If you can construct the payloads on the moon or in its orbit, that's less pollution and more objects in higher orbits.
I am at a point of disenchantment with Facebook, that I honestly think that even if you’re doing the best, most meaningful research of your life, you’re still doing it for Facebook. And that’s inherently invalidating whatever you’re doing.

DKIM signs the message headers (including the From: header) and (a hash of) the message body. So you can validate that a message has not been tampered with, and is from the mailbox it says it is (assuming your mail provider rejects messages with an invalid signature, irrespective of e.g. DMARC).

> I think every team needs to find the approach that works best for them to itemize, prioritize and communicate progress.

This is spot on.

And the fact is, this has been known since at least 1980's (!)[0]. I am quite fond of using the version "culture trumps process", because it so well encapsulates the reality. (Also: hits directly against "The Process" ideology.)

It often feels like everyone and their dog within the industry are hell-bent on establishing a Good Development Process. But that's a false premise. You can't just introduce a designed process and expect it to magically fix things. Workflow is everything: motivated and talented people will go to lengths to get their actual work done, process be damned. The best thing you can do is to invest in good tooling and actively encourage sane development practices.

Get the workflow right, and process will follow. Crucially, as you said above, every company will need to find their own flavour.

> Calling is what old folks do

One might think this is why calling has become unpopular, but that's just an excuse people use when they don't want to reveal the real reason: huge numbers of people in the younger generations who have social anxiety that makes itself known—among other times—when they realize they have to talk on the phone.

As soon as it was an option, these people switched to asynchronous communications media, and never looked back. Everyone else in their social circles got pulled along, if they didn't want to give up talking to these people.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure about Tesla's numbers. I heard 1 per 3 miles but I couldn't prove it through a google search. In any case, Tesla doesn't seem to be bragging about its disengagement rate, so I bet it isn't very good.

SentiLink | Software Engineer (backend, platform, infra, machine learning) | ONSITE | San Francisco, CA | sentilink.com

SentiLink prevents synthetic fraud, an emerging fraud vector in which fraudsters open accounts using name/DOB/SSN combinations that don't correspond to real people.

Interesting. Wouldn't that imply that a lot of crimes are not investigated, and/or suspected criminals are let go?
Can the same be said about plastic straws? Maybe another one of those "let's all feel good about how much we're saving the world" efforts with quantitatively insignificant impact?
The author details the options. If can find an XSS on dells website it’s possible.
Would a student be more likely to admit to "thoughts of doing a school shooting" if school shootings weren't stigmatized? Yes, probably. Would an abuser be more likely to admit to "thoughts of beating up his wife" if domestic violence was not stigmatized? Yes, probably. But there is a very good reason why we stigmatize anti-social behaviors. They hurt other people. The stigma reinforces that message and removing the stigma hides that message. We are "the other people" and if you do that, you will hurt us too, not just yourself, so we aren't going to pretend it's okay because it isn't.

The removal of stigmatization might make it easier for us to identify people doing awful things, but just knowing about something doesn't stop them from doing awful things. You aren't fixing the problem by getting them to admit it, you're just becoming more aware of that particular person's problems while also green-lighting half a dozen other people to do the same.
Misplaced sense of prestige.
For plastics, wouldn't it be possible to dissolve the whole bunch of trash in e.g. acetone or other solvents and then split the solvents again to get pure raw plastic precursors again? Or would that be too expensive?
Ax, idb, Mvfst, and more open source from F8
Especially side projects can avoid that question, as long as they can stay at the side. I love them for that.

(And I also prefer to take either no money or decent money for jobs for friends and acquaintances. The middle ground just lacks in reward, monetary and in gratefulness.)

It's more difficult for something that you have to invest time in heavily to have any form of success. That's when this question has to be answered and might be the most important one.
Shiok Meats Raises $4.6M Seed Round to Develop Cell-Based Shrimp
Fair would be sending executives to jail for hacking. Releasing a non-backdoored BIOS was the absolute minimum.

Edit: As pointed out by josteink, the BIOS wasn't backdoored - it was used to install a backdoor. But calling what it installed "insecure Windows-software" is also inaccurate. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfish#Lenovo_security_inci..., its purpose was man-in-the-middle attacks against the user. So I still think criminal liability and jail time would be just. Ordinary people have been sent to jail for far less.
IE7 was only for a short time the newest Microsoft browser. IE8 lived for a long time, untill eventualy IE9 came about.

IE7 didn't have tabs, IE8 did.
And IE6 was similarly tons better the Netscape Navigator. It had XmlHttp, inventing Ajax, which revolutionised the web.

Easy to forget that now.

Also, did you know IE6 pioneered the browser web dev tools? IE6 was the first browser you could debug your JavaScript, css and html, which was copied by firebug about 12 months later. I can't even remember what it was called now, IE Dev toolbox? Something strange, you had to download it separately.

And Firebug and Chrome Dev tools copied it almost verbatim. I've never seen any sort of acknowledgement of just how much the community owes to that early tool. The announcement blogs about it were still accessible a few years ago.
That was a scary transition for us, since we did have quite a few legacy browsers regularly accessing our site - we guaranteed support for IE7+ at that time. Extremely thankful for it though, our management wouldn't have made that decision without the push.
I just wanted to confirm such an extreme view.

What if someone wins the lottery (after many roll overs)?

At what point do they become criminal sociopaths? When they cross the billion threshold? USD or local currency?
The problem with that statement is you could replace Facebook with N other companies and still say nothing of value.
Ah the good old days, I too remember accidentally crashing ie6 computers WITH CSS.
I really wish it was possible to purchase hardware from any manufacturer with this stuff removed.

> Why should we find it surprising that when workers are promoted into a role with a greater -- and often vastly different -- responsibilities than what they have experience with, they are not immediately competent?

I think we all agree with you in this regard. However, that's not what The Peter Principle is about. It agrees that most people can handle their promotions, even if it takes time. It is an observation on occasions where people _stop_ getting promotions.

The point being made is that people stop getting promoted once they are put in a position they are not capable of performing well. If they _are_ capable of performing well, they will likely be promoted again, and later again, until promoted to a role not fit for their skillset. So it is not so much a commentary on competence as it is on circumstance, but circumstance that many systems are designed to allow or even encourage.

Mostly speaking based on my hearing first-hand from those working there to some of the technology horror stories / treatment backlog issues. There are also some fairly comprehensive issues with specific hospitals that I recall from the news, but maybe that's media spin.

My point is not that interacting with folks at the VA is bad (generally folks try to do their best) but that at a certain point if a single organization runs a specific function incentives get turned around to the point where you lose the ball somehow, and there's no pressure to improve. This seems to have happened to a certain extent at the VA and I see the pattern happen a lot across large institutions, generally. ESPECIALLY if they are not in a competitive environment.

I guess London doesn't have the equivalent of Golden Corral or Old Country Buffet, or a decent diner now that I think of it. I wonder if she moved to English equivalent of the burbs there would be something more inviting.
More than that, the graph demonstrates how growth of IE overall dropped off. Up until then IE7 was replacing IE6. After that, no later version of IE ever topped the previous version.
I thought it was ammonia and bleach that should never be mixed.
Quartz watches "tick" only once per second. Mechanical watches move generally 6ish times a second, causing a perpetual movement. This makes them better for measuring things in fractions of seconds than a quartz movement.
It's sort of sad but I agree. For outstanding engineers and researches there are now better companies available to work for on cutting edge research. Facebook still pays well, and I'd assume they bump up compensation again to mitigate the ongoing exodus.
> A "Wellness Exam" can certainly be offered with a different levels of service. But you cannot charge two different prices for the same exam.

Same doctor, same location, same duration, same scope of care, same supplies, same patient-risk, same market demand, same season, same malpractice liability, etc etc ?

A same price requirement pushes the economic adjustment to other variables. A simple example: do you take patients saturdays? All staff is more expensive to work a saturday, but revenue is the same. (adjust access).

If anything, the market does not have enough price adjustments, which is why eeryone is so price insensitive, particularly the patient.
It's remarkable that they would put together this piece, state that they are "test[ing] new systems through the lens of inclusivity" and then immediately, proudly show a chart of their new system that specifically leaves no room for non-binary or transgender people. It's like they are going out of their way to say they will be inclusive with AI in regards to race but gender? No they will exclude people from this, anyone who identifies or presents as neither the binary male or female will be specifically excluded from being able to correctly this system.

Yes it's nice that they write "gender presentation" rather than just "gender", as they know that is what they are trying to measure. But then why not let it train for "nonbinary" as well?

Facebook can try as hard as they want, but their inherent bias against minorities will still show through.
This is part of the reason why governments make info-sharing pacts between their spy agencies, right? You might have a policy of constitution preventing you from spying on your own citizens, but your allies certainly don't play by those same rules.

From the actual criminal complaint:

> Dennis Balius, the SPI testing lab supervisor, led a scheme to alter tests within SPI’s computerized systems and provide false certifications with the altered results to customers. Balius also instructed employees to violate other testing standards, such as increasing the speed of the testing machines or cutting samples in a manner that did not meet the required specifications. Balius pleaded guilty in July 2017 and was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay over $170,000 in restitution.
