> In those emails Bannon instructs Milo/etc to target specific groups. There were multiple instances of this throughout the emails.

I suppose you mean the Breitbart emails. Targeting groups would not surprise me, they obviously have an agenda and bias, like most organizations. The real question is whether these same emails actually suggest that they don't believe the propaganda they published, and that they're just doing it to fulfill ulterior motives.

Edit: I see now you added considerably more text. Sorry to hear about your friend, but I don't see how Breitbart is any worse in principle than hocking crystals and astrology (and I know people who have stopped meds from this kind of influence). As long as they are not directly inciting violence, we should be policing actions not words.
How to Create an SEO Title to Increase Your Views
Unless you're playing competitively, the goal is also to have fun, and games are much more enjoyable when there's room to expand and you're not forced to place sub-optimal words.
Suggestion: Set aside complex variables and do measure theory instead. For the Fourier and Laplace transforms, cover those via measure theory. For measure theory, H. Royden, Real Analysis and the first half of W. Rudin, Real and Complex Analysis.

Then take a course in graduate probability which is based on measure theory. Good authors are Loeve, Neveu, Breiman, Chung, among others. So, learn about the cases of convergence including almost sure convergence, a good version of the central limit theorem, proved carefully, the weak and strong laws of large numbers, ergodic theory, and martingale theory.

Learn stochastic differential equations.

Learn some potential theory.

Then do some work in optimization and optimization under uncertainty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/130%E2%80%9330_fund

Or often called the 1X0/X0 fund, meaning, using leverage you are long 1X0% of your holdings(typically in a board index) and short X0% of your holdings (typically in only specific shorts you pick, this is your alpha).

The money you get for your short sale helps pay for the 1X0 leverage.

You are really betting on your short positions to drive your alpha in this case, Jim Chanos is the one who made this structure famous.

>Companies with defined, well established revenue streams need to build mentoring programs that turn mediocre developers (solid C) into good (solid B) developers. Those employees tend to be the most loyal and are capable of a great amount of menial to boring coding tasks without complaint.

In general, when coding, if you're doing a menial or boring task you're doing something wrong. E.g. I've worked with a ton of mediocre developers who don't automate the menial tasks and end up doing the task manually, sloppily and slowly.

>It’s not like Google’s Adwords is undergoing a complete code rewrite every quarter. Neither is Microsoft Word. Most code changes are incremental,

Incremental changes are hard. Incremental changes to large and unwieldy systems while leaving them in a maintainable state are very hard (actually, from what I've heard, Google Adwords' code base is a mess).

> You basically start out by constructing the reals from scratch

Not necessarily -- a lot of books just take the existence of a unique set with certain properties as an axiom and call it R.

The main topics of basic real analysis IMO are differentiation, integration, (uniform) continuity, compactness, convergence, etc.; how to construct the reals from the rationals is a side point at most.

This could be personal bias as I just don't personally think that the exercise of constructing the real numbers is very interesting.

"Farrakhan blames Jews for the slave trade, plantation slavery, Jim Crow, sharecropping and general black oppression. Farrakhan’s tone grew more belligerent in June 2010, when he sent letters to several leaders of the Jewish community as well as the Southern Poverty Law Center demanding that they acknowledge the evils they have perpetrated and that they work to further Farrakhan’s goals. The letter ended with a threat to “ruin and destroy your power and influence here and throughout the world” if his terms were not met."

1. Above the fold you have 4 main CTAs and 2 search bars cut those numbers in half.

2. Regarding the filtering methods(search, tags, or start my search) pick one. If you don't know which one A/b test.

3. the highlighted navigation link should correspond to the page you are on to make navigation easier

4. the brands at the bottom (above the fold) are overkill. if you want to make this a thing, create a separate section allowing for more negative space above the fold.

5. the greyscale/ color scheme choices should be slightly more intentional, as an example the color around the tags below the "search a subject" would probably be better served as an off white or light grey similar to the navigation. part of this conflict is created with the brand area.

6. I would combine the "search a subject" input with the "show courses" button too. that way it is one complete unit

all I got for right now. cheers
> No one can say for certain how, and when they delete the data. Even the person from the privacy team said as much.

You and I read very different comments. Not being able to tell you, a random HN commented, the exact procedure by which a specific piece of data's lifetime is managed is different than not being able to, in the abstract, describe, monitor, and alert on the intended lifecycle of a piece of data.

> I wonder how much of this is related to GDPR,

Probably not at all: Google was already GDPR compliant (it was already possible to manually delete your data), this goes beyond the GDPR mandate, and allows you to set a ttl on your data, essentially.

It's becoming more apparent to me that you, either intentionally or not, aren't clear on what the status quo was, or what this change changed. To be clear, deleting your location data has always been possible (or at least, has been possible for a long time). There's a UI for it. This is, in addition to being able to manually delete data, have Google automatically delete any data older than a certain time.
Would love to hear downvoters make their case.
The MMR vaccine does not give full immunity(the reason booster shots exist), immigrants can enter the country while carrying the disease, and sometimes live virus vaccines like MMR can leave the people who get them contagious. The only ways to have zero cases of any disease in the country are to either eradicate it globally (like small pox), or to eradicate it nationally and prevent cross border transmission (like polio).
To serve as a data point, I effectively built an in-house version of this a few years ago built on top of AWS Lambda, all in Python. The "entry point" code or orchestration code was hosted normally on an EC2 instance. More specifically we were using Airflow, so our Airflow server would kick off a Python program that would then orchestrate a couple thousand Lambdas.
Is that really the most horrible manifestation or a typical onboarding experience in practice?

Most of the onboarding I've seen clearly has some real thought put into it, but it still feels modal.

They usually involve widgets that pop up and must be dismissed. Often they pretend to not be modal by not covering the screen, but I assume I have to chase them down and make them go away.
Of course it is, but it’s not THE Internet and we don’t want it to be. It’s also a commercial emtity while the Internet May be considered more of a public good.
Same. I can't explain why, but when I see angle brackets I lose interest in a language.
What problem did you attempt to solve? You are essentially offloading the vetting problem to all the companies who's former employees you work with. The only value I can see that you create is in liquidity in the market.

Sure, there's some benefit to solving market inefficiencies and making some money along the way, but don't pretend for a second that this isn't just another recruiting firm using pedigree as a proxy for actual skills.

True...but inheriting code, not having time to refactor, and just getting a basic version out the door...pysnooper is pretty useful.
Is America unusual in this regard?
Every human is "on the spectrum". The guidelines are extremely flimsy and if you've ever been stressed in a social situation you're essentially on the spectrum. In software engineering I hear it almost as a joking term of endearment.
Thanks for the feedback; it's helpful to hear about what your experience was like.

On the last point, when we see that someone has health experience, we're very likely to place them at CMS/HHS because they would benefit from that background.

But we have had situations in the past where we promised someone "You can work on project X when you start" and then over the course of a few months while that person was onboarding, project X got into a bad spot. That's a bad experience if someone shows up and can't work on what they thought they would.

Thanks for posting how things looked from your side of the conversation--I appreciate it.
This article was just a long diatribe against the author's cartoonish version of nationalists...instead of presenting arguments against the ethnic nationalism political philosophy, he instead just attacks the strawman he set up...he also fails to mention the most power force of ethnic nationalism, which is Israel, in his long-winded diatribe...
In Australia, at least, when you fill out the tax paperwork for a new job, you can tick a box that basically means "Please withhold more tax so I don't get a bill at tax time".

If it brings any solace: your current OS is using code hosted on GitHub.

What you say is akin to disliking HTTPS and the CA system. People on whom you depend, depend on it. The internet depends on it. Therefore, you are using it. Same with BGP. Same with IPv4. Same with 2G.

Why a data scientist is not a data engineer
> ASL and other sign languages are literally languages

100% agree.

> He wasn't talking in a non-spoken language; he was not talking ... that isn't nearly the same thing as speaking a sign language

I disagree.

ASL 1000, first class, my professor was telling us elaborate, hilarious stories without ever speaking and none of us "knew ASL" the language. But he was communicating to us using a plethora of skills that a person fluent in Signing knows how to use.

When we say that ASL is a language, that doesn't mean standing statically and one sign at a time signing each one like a pictograph. A huge proportion of the language is in the nuance, the non-words, the expression, the acting and movement. That doesn't mean ASL is just that acting part, but pretending that what Francis was doing has no relation to ASL is a stretch in my mind.

What he was doing while 'not speaking' has a lot in common with what I'm doing when I'm signing with Deaf people.
> You can judge programmer's ability in 60 minutes. [...] What's difficult to judge is, are they organized? are they hard working? [...] do they write great documentation? do they test their code? [...]

You answer in the affirmative, but then go on to clarify that you're excluding 95% of the job. I would simplify this to say "no, you can't".
Retaliation is a strategic last resort that is intended to deter cruel people from hurting us, when appeals to empathy are expected to be ineffective. If someone hurts you accidentally, and you can tell (because he can reliably express empathy), you won't retaliate; you'll ask for an apology. If someone hurts you out of cruelty, expecting an apology is actually counterproductive; you'll either get the authorities involved, or if you're in an especially shitty situation where no authority will back you with force, retaliate swiftly and perhaps at disproportionate cost to yourself, so that whoever hurt you understands that it was a bad idea - and so that, ex-ante, even the cruel aren't tempted to hurt you in the first place.
Considering that China has a billion more people than the US, it’s great to see them trying to push the boundaries of medicine.
Well, the "young" of the time voted for the EU when it was proposed back in the 1975 UK referendum and other cases. So there's that.

As for climate change that has been the result of half a century of increased consumerism kickstarted in the 50s and spearheaded by the Baby Boomer generation (which, for the most part of the ride, was young).
This doesn't help much when the specific application you want to run is not available in your system because it doesn't ship Qt3 or Qt4 or Gtk1 or whatever (note that AFAIK none of these are shipped anymore in Debian sid) and it also doesn't help much if the application you are trying to run is using a library that, even though it exists in version N, there is already a version N+Y (Y=1, 2, whatever) that essentially provides the same functionality to the application but it is backwards incompatible while providing more functionality to the user that you'd like to use.

To make that last part more clear, imagine a theoretical "libopenfile" library that shows a file dialog, this library in version 1 exposes a function like "open_file(const char* path);" but in version 2 they improved the GUI a bit (e.g. making the dialog make better use of screen real estate, added a create folder button, etc) and changed the function name to "lof_select_file(const char* path);" because arbitrary tidyness reasons and in version 3 they changed the signature to "lof_select_file(const char* path, unsigned flags);" and added the ability to load plugins that could provide more actions for each file in the displayed file list, show overlay icons, etc.

As things are right now, a modern Linux system would need to have all three versions of the library installed - assuming the distribution cared about backwards compatibility to provide all of them instead of the latest and perhaps the previous version - meaning there would be three different libraries providing essentially the same functionality in three slightly different ways. Moreover, and also very important, version 1 applications do not get to use any improvements introduced in version 2 and neither version 1 nor version 2 can use the plugins introduced in version 3 - even though, again, all they want is to show a dialog to choose a file.

The way that would have been done right is for the version 2 of the library to still export the "open_file" function but simply make it call "lof_select_file" and version 3 make a "lof_select_file2" (or "_ex" or whatever, if the reason to not do that is because you dislike the naming, you are part of the problem) that accepts flags and have "lof_select_file" call it with a default set of flags. Then everything would work, from version 1 to version 3 and all applications would get the functionality introduced in subsequent versions (and as a sidenote, no, i wouldn't remove open_file from the header files to encourage using the renamed function since backwards compatibility in source form is very important too - not everyone who gets to compile a piece of code is the developer of that code, or even a developer).

Now the above is a bit of a strawman, but it is exactly the situation you get with Gtk1, Gtk2, Gtk3, Gtk4, Qt1, Qt2, Qt3, Qt4, Qt5, SDL1, SDl2, etc and pretty much most of libraries that you find on a desktop system (notable and thankful - so far - exceptions, being the X11 libraries and... Motif, although that isn't installed by default anywhere so it isn't really something you can rely on).
This is exactly like being proud to be black, but white.
At LightStep where I work we have company wide coffee chats which are fortnightly 30 minute randomly assigned groups of two or three with no agenda, a weekly “virtual water cooler” which is 30 minutes, and my team has a randomly assigned weekly one on one chat as well.

They’re super pleasant and a great way to break up the day and they really help me get to know the people I work with on a personal level.

I would really recommend setting something like that up with your teammates and coworkers or at least being an advocate for such a thing!
Where have you been in Hong Kong? There is all kinds of history. Downtown Hong Kong island has a number of colonial buildings. There is the original courthouse or something in a plaza around Central. The old clock tower is at Admiralty. The Star Ferry has been around for decades. There are multiple active temples around the city. Tai-O village on Lantau still has wooden junks. If you wander around Victoria Peak there is Victoria Peak Gardens, which has a colonial building or two. The 100 miles of hiking trails in the county park system are there because a governor in the 60s or 70s reserved large areas from building. The city still has bilingual signs in English and Cantonese, which I can assure you is not the case in both Mainland China and Taiwan. They drive on the left side of the road--a very non-Mainland thing. There are double-decker buses all over, also very British. Even things like the ubiquitous public notices for comment on pre-construction sites is a very Western idea. The historic Jockey Club has it's name on a dorm in every university campus (and, of course, the famous race-track is still racing horses). Even the names of places are their British names, sometimes even in the Chinese version ("Admiralty" is "Golden Clock", since the clock was the key feature, since you'd set your chronometer by it). Beijing, for example, renamed much of it's pre-1949 names to something more revolutionary. Then there's the "socks" milk tea, a strong milk tea that is a localized version of colonial British tea + milk (much better than the original, I might add). There's even a HK culture museum. (There's a HK history museum as well, but it's been a little edited to support the Mainland ideology.)

But perhaps nothing says "history" quite like that most every day item: money. Back in the 1800s, banks issued money. Nowadays the State issues money, but HK notes are still issued by three banks (albeit with strict supervision of the State), which have their names on them. Personally, I find the ones from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Company to be the most attractive. The coins bear more than a passing resemblance to British coinage, too.

I think Hong Kong is a great example of history being integrated into the culture.
Racism as in speaking up against reverse racism?
I'm guessing the definition of "last" in the US is different. Pretty much any car will last 200k with enough maintenance but historically cars would have quite a bit of down time for repairs after the first 100k. When driving is not optional the lack of down time is MUCH more important. Newer cars will often go 200k without any unscheduled issues that force down time.
No, and ironically the poster of that comment is doing the exact same thing, judging people for judging people.

This is about me and my meals though. My family is getting ripped off when I spend a sum of money on food that isn't very good. I've spent $40/person for meals that were as good as I could make at home in an hour, even though I'd be saving money doing the work myself it was still wroth it because I didn't feel like cooking.

If my neighbors decide that the meals they can buy are good enough that is their choice. I won't enforce "my good taste" on them. I find the value is not there.
"Bricking" the board by packing in words next to each other to add to your score commonly happens under our variation - although non-contiguous plays are rare.

And I will still avoid opening up a triple-word square if I can - or cover up an open triple-word just to prevent my opponent from using it. Although it's worth pointing out that under our variation, triple-words - while still very valuable - aren't the end of the world since we'll be playing bingos all over the board the whole game, there's really no need to fight for pink squares.
