> That's one of the biggest differences between the US and Sweden, and probably most of Europe; access to cheap labor. Too cheap, if you ask me.

Another example: when you have road works here and a lane is closed and only one lane remains, temporary traffic lights are put in place.

In America you'll see a half dozen people managing traffic, where "managing" means "holding up a sign".
Sounds more like being fired for being a colossal asshole that no one wanted to work with.
Federally, it helps and a lot of financial aid comes from the federal government.
Yes, no one was more surprised than James Damore when his memo, Google's Ideological Echo Chamber, provoked the ire of his coworkers.
This sounds so very, very bad. I really wish we could massively expand the scope and membership of the National Academy of Sciences to be able to function as a true watchdog for all of these other agencies that seem to increasingly be the victim of lobbying and regulatory capture. Also, it seems vitally important that we come up with some additional hierarchy of decision-making amongst these agencies themselves. Specifically in this case, and probably others, the CDC and FDA, which are in charge essentially of ensuring human health should be able to trump (oh god, no pun intended) the EPA/USDA which are in charge of seemingly more "economics"-scale issues like clean water and food supply. Pretty sure we can still have a stable food supply without oranges. Pretty sure we can't have a stable healthcare system without antibiotics. Its way easier to engineer a few new strains of citrus in a sterile lab than it is to deal with humans' genetic inability to deal with every infection-causing bacteria becoming resistant.
This is almost certainly due to the DoE Frontier contract awarded to Cray and AMD. [0] HPE is "riding the wave" of this major contract.

Cray did something similar with Appro when Appro won a large government supercomputer cluster contract. [1] When the contract was over, former Appro staff at Cray attrited.

Once the Frontier project is finished, there's no telling what HPE will do with Cray.

Seymour, Bill and Dave must be rolling in their graves. [2]

The Seattle office of Cray, which houses executives, HR, and some Chapel/MPI folks, will probably be closed at some point.

The Mall of America and Chippewa Falls Cray offices will probably stay open for some time.

(Full Disclosure: I worked at HP (1995-2002), Cray (2012-2015), and currently work at AMD.)

Clearly the work of the children of the forest

Edit: That was a game of thrones joke for those who missed it
No. Real world is not that simple. Certain things are only considered harass between man and woman, but not between same sex. For example, asking to meet (drink, sports, etc.) after work. So there's a choice between either "ignore" or "harass".

Yes, you don't have to do these, but some people just like buddyhood kind of binding more than others.
The subway is in theory an extension of public space. Banning eating from public spaces feels a bit draconian, but then again, it’s China, an authoritarian nation. Not to mention the obvious fact that you could allow food but strongly enforce anti-littering laws.

As messy and decrepit (especially now) the NYC metro system is, it’s actually pretty successful at transferring city culture into the transportation system. It feels like something would be lost if all the cars and stations were replaced with spotless plastic modern ones.
> This is, unfortunately, a rational response to the current climate.

Yes! It is rational to have a fear response to the prospect of being held accountable. Because we have not had a culture of accountability, many men are not confident in their ability NOT to behave in a harmful manner, even if they do not intend to harm. That feeling of discomfort is from finally having to think about these things. I hope more men embrace that discomfort instead of resent it.
A new movement: Opting for no children as climate fears grow
I can understand the reluctance, up to a point.

I'm male, I've been accused of sexual abuse, and it was thrown out because it became exceedingly clear that it never happened. That was extremely unpleasant to go through, and I'd rather never go through it again.

However, it hasn't had an ongoing effect on my relationships with women, just the one woman. I'm still more than happy to work with my coworkers regardless of their sex, and I'm more than happy to guide anyone who happens to fall under my leadership.

Anybody accused is first judged by the audience. A certain amount of guilt is assumed. That you let yourself into a potentially compromising situation, or you sought out the situation.

And I imagine the higher you are up a managerial chain, the higher the stakes are when you get accused.

There is a human cost, even if "nothing comes of it".

I imagine many of these managers are terrified of the ordeal, of lawyers, they don't know if the company will support them until a judgement is made or kick them to the curb. Of the effect it may have on their family, where they might already have strained relationships with their spouses.

They don't want to potentially risk it, because the power dynamics at play are not in their favour from the outset. The system is biased to find fault, rather than first determine if there was fault.

At the same time, we can't cut the authority of the system in any way - the people it protects, who genuinely need protection, often are already in a power imbalance of their own.

The fears are justified to an extent, but the simple truth it comes down to is... You're a manager. It is your responsibility to be responsible for those under you. If you can't be, then perhaps a management position is not appropriate for you. Perhaps you need to learn to thrive in a different role. Harsh, certainly, but as the environment stands, ignoring those under your care will only help to promote an environment where women are once again second-class citizens.
I don't understand how someone can be arrested without first conducting an investigation. They're just taking the word of Hertz that these people stole these cars, and they're letting a corporation that is largely unaccountable to the public call the shots of who gets arrested and who doesn't. So what if Hertz says you stole your car? You need to gather proof first. Proof that could never possibly materialize if all you have is Hertz's flawed record keeping.
You used a question mark, but it's not clear that you were asking a sincere question. Actually, the way you phrased it ("I assume") suggests otherwise. So do your ideologically charged comment elsewhere in the thread and the hostile "Are you ok" bit here.

If someone wants to share that she's a woman, that's up to her. Abruptly challenging another user personally about that is usually a bad-faith move in online conversations—especially on a divisive topic like this one, where people are primed to post aggressively. Since you didn't explain why you were asking, all the reader can do is pattern-match, and we know how comments like that tend to pattern-match in flamewars.

If you meant it in good faith, there's a simple fix: include enough information for the reader—not to mention the person you're asking—to be able to feel that.
Thanks for the honesty? Everyday I see dozens of drivers blow through inconvenient stop signs - just like those lawless cyclists. But when they hit people, they maim and kill them. You could argue reckless cyclists are in contention for the Darwin Awards, but they're only going to get themselves killed.

Push the cart quickly enough and you can defeat the magnetic locking mechanism. Just push it really fast past the boundary where it would lock and keep going until you’re out of range.

Dunno if that still works, but I enjoyed defeating the locking mechanism at Safeway when I was a kid even though I didn’t even want the shopping cart.
The more people who hear your message, the more people can actively ignore your message. While her chances of being ignored by everyone go down, the number of people who will ignore her goes up.
Does it matter? I'm saying that what you mean by "the real you" may not really be the most useful definition. If there are 10 people on the planet that would behave exactly the same way when put in the same conditions, I don't really need to make a distinction between any of you. Each one is as good as the other.

I don't even feel necessarily comfortable with the completely anonymous usages of ML on my data. Like the mentioned "next word prediction". Language models we've seen by now don't really understand anything about the text, and surely nothing about who you are. Yet they are uncannily good in "understanding" the context somehow. It really doesn't know anything about the world in the strict sense of the word, but given your sentence starts with "Tensorflow" it is still able to understand that something about "neural networks" and "machine learning" would be a good way to continue.

So if it learns on some very unique stories on a very unique subject you were telling someone in the WhatsApp, a model, trained on this data, actually might tell someone else the story vaguely resembling what you just said given the right context. Even though it didn't try to learn anything specifically about you, or even gather any data from you in a non-anonymous way.

Of course, I don't mean to say this is actually likely to happen with how it's likely to be used, I'm just saying that to illustrate the possibility.

They earned that money. What they do with it is their business. However, waiting most of a week or two can be a huge issue if you have immediate problems which can be solved with small amounts of cash.
It would have been friendly, but FWIW they seem to have forked my project in mid 2017, so I'm guessing it's an experiment and got shelved and later revived.

So it's easy to imagine a scenario where the people who ultimately released it last week weren't really aware of how much it uses external libraries - mine, and also a 3D engine called Babylon.js (who also weren't contacted).

you should have written an article about it, it's an obvious security hole in the airlines' systems.
Fully homomorphic encryption, in which you can do arbitrary computation on encrypted data, is still quite slow. But partially homomorphic decryption, in which you can add encrypted values together but not multiply (or vice versa), is quite efficient. And since the secure aggregation protocol only needs to add together encrypted values to get an average, it only needs partially homomorphic encryption properties.
I'm doing the same :/
> Aldi, which expects its customers to endure a number of minor inconveniences not typical at other American grocery stores. Shoppers need a quarter to rent a shopping cart. Plastic and paper bags are available only for a fee. And at checkout, cashiers hurry shoppers away, expecting them to bag their own groceries in a separate location away from the cash register

Interesting glimpse into a parallel universe. Everything mentioned is standard practice in the parts of Europe I know, except the trolley fee is the equivalent of two to four dollars. Where I live, that fee works as intended, but I remember living in the UK more than thirty years ago - I regularly scooped several pounds by picking up abandoned trolleys in the Safeway parking lot and returning them to their designated shed.

As for bagging, I'd quickly turn hostile if anyone attempted to handle the goods I just payed for.
Ha,my dad is obsessed with Aldi for this reason. He'll come home with say 50 rolls of dental floss or 12 jars of marmalade as they were on sale one week, knowing they wouldn't be available again potentially for months.
Tritium isn't really a "separate chemical" but rather an isotope of hydrogen. Since water molecules are made of hydrogen and oxygen bound together, there is no simple way to remove the radioactive hydrogen by itself. The current best methods, from what I'm seeing online, involve separating the hydrogen and oxygen atoms into gasses and then processing out the tritiated hydrogen molecules. Apparently, it's expensive and only about 85% effective.

This is not surprising. We are in a hyper-sensitive society now where many people are accused and lose their entire career and possibly marriage through the court of public opinion.

As a result, it would be smart of most men in these positions to either not mentor at all or always have someone else in the room. I wouldn't be surprised if companies started having everything recorded at some point.

The real problem is that false accusers won't face many repercussions compared to the accused. Some men accused are even found to have done nothing and it doesn't matter. People still believe they did something.
Jonathan Blow – Preventing the Collapse of Civilization
So you’re accusing me of something I didn’t intend just because I didn’t ask my question in the way you would have liked.

See how easily things can get misconstrued? Maybe that’s why men are less willing to mentor women.
Individuals, sure. But the system? You couldn’t be more mistaken. Your health insurance comes through your employer. When you get sick or depressed, and you start missing work as a result, guess what happens?
There are also many people who will fabricate a story or stretch the truth for their own gain.

That's a problem for the managers to solve, and they can solve it by reducing the number of business dinners they do with men, if they can't figure out a good way to do business dinners with women. The work hours and the options for dining near the office might mean that it's too difficult to have a work dinner that isn't too cozy, and if it is, so be it. It's entirely their responsibility to have management practices that aren't sexist.
If you don't like him just say so and move on. Trying to rationalize and then justify non-substantiation in an argument by playing this burden of proof shifting metagame wastes everyone's time. Just because you dressed up your assessment in this snide court language doesn't make it any better.
A government is accountable to all sorts of laws. A private entity only to some. There are entire branches of governments whose sole job is to make laws and decide what's wrong or right. Kicking the ball to companies is just intellectual laziness.
Got a friend who is overseeing manager of about 5-6 Aldi supermarkets in my area.

At the end of every day, every supermarket calls him with the daily results. He writes them down, takes a picture and sends that to his manager at the national HQ.

He just uses his phone and the occasional meeting to do business, there is no computer/laptop or system on his end.

Aldi is always portrayed as brutally efficient. So I was wondering what to read into this. Best I was able to come up with is that it's cheaper for them not to have an overseeing system to manage this.
Thunderbird will allow you to "Customize From address", where you type something into the "From" field and it attempts to send the message using your normal log in credentials. Works like a charm for me on Ubuntu, and I imagine it is available with the same features on Mac.
perhaps the only missing feature (like in flake) is to be able to bypass the formatter with a comment (to be confortable with edge cases, where readavility matters)

something like: # nofmt
I've been careful not to accuse you. That's why I said "it's not clear", "suggests", "usually", "prone", "enough information", "pattern match", "good faith", and "simple fix".

If you're participating in this thread in good faith, what could be easier to make clear? Unfortunately, some internet commenters specialize in posting aggressively while staying inside the line of plausible deniability. That's abuse, so moderators have to do something—but moderation is guesswork, and there's no way to guess perfectly. If I guessed wrong, I'll be happy to correct the error. But if I guessed wrong, why do you up the ante with each reply? That doesn't help clear things up.

> Python defines the lower bound on the code readability

Ignoring ;... comments for a moment, if we squash a Lisp program into one line and remove all non-essential whitespace, it's possible to recover it into nicely formatted code by machine, more or less.

> TLDR: Lisps - Schemes, Racket, CL, PicoLisp, Emacs and TXR Lisps to name a few - can be used to write astonishingly readable and to-the-point code, but the languages do absolutely nothing to discourage using them to write the most unreadable mess under the heavens. As for the reasons for this - I've honestly no idea at all.

This view is unbalanced without noting that Javascript, Rust, C, Perl, Java, Scala, Go, Kotlin, ... and a large number of other languages, have the flexible formatting that allows for unreadable code. Ruby, anyone? https://github.com/mame/quine-relay/blob/master/QR.rb

> As for the reasons for this - I've honestly no idea at all.

Bad formatting is a bug that is fixable in the actual code (greatly assisted by automation) and a minor social problem in programming that is treatable with education and experience. Therefore, it is nearly a non-issue.

There are real-world costs to information hoarding as well, when it's done by people who are not you and whose incentives are not aligned with your own.

I'm glad that data is rotting on the Internet. In fact, I'll go one step farther and say that data should rot more quickly on the Internet. There's no reason that some scummy marketing algorithm should have access to my high-school social media posts. There's no reason that governments or private individuals with a grudge ought to be able to through the history of everything I've written, no matter how off-the-cuff, in order to dredge up something that makes me look like an undesirable when it's taken out of context.

If an individual wants to save a particular piece of information, that should be their choice. Otherwise, by default, information ought to disappear from the Internet.
Why do people care about this :)?
I do think mental health is a national problem, but if the homeless people are san franciscans, its definitely a city level issue.

Simple answer: congestion pricing.

The dystopian aspect I think will come from them being not self-driven, but Waymo-driven (or Tesla-driven, or whatever). You're not in charge, the corporation and the state are.

Google controls the internet. They control the most common browser and OS. If Google ever were to feel sufficiently threatened by countries such as UK attempting to build a great firewall of their own, Google could simply start offering a "Chrome VPN" and proxy user connections through their IP space.

In addition to that, there are psychological effects. You go to the store and find things unexpectedly on sale, which makes you want to go back to the store. Then when you do something else is on sale, which pleases you again and reinforces you coming back to the store.

The fact that one $3 thing you bought was unexpectedly on sale but every time you go to the store you spend $200 on other stuff is a thing that the store is aware of.
