The issue was specifically around the EU where citizens are allowed to work in other member countries. It's not illegal and by any definition it's not imported.
This is not the packing area though. In Aldis you are generally not expected to pack at the till at all. What should be happening is that you put all your shopping right back into the trolley, then take it away and bag your stuff at your pace at the window ledge, getting out of the way of next shoppers.

I don't know about Ireland, but in the UK there's been obviously some backlash from the customers who aren't used to this model. I've seen arguments break out.
Would not it be the case to implement a way to scare birds with ultrasonic tools? Attach them to harvesters. There are ultrasonic tools that scare away dogs, there must be one for birds.
I understand what you want to say, but taken literally, I am sure you know many humans who would not pause and think twice about the birds. They would think twice about the cheapest way to harvest and that would pretty much be the extend of it.
I recently wrote a parser in Elixir for a templating language. Binary pattern matching is pretty neat for this purpose, but performance is nevertheless sub-optimal. Elixir was chosen over more suitable languages because our team is Elixir-only. OP shows that delegating performance critical computations in Rust is viable and fairly cleanly. That's good to know.

The "near limitless energy" claim of articles like these is very deceptive. The true destination is perpetual heat generation, which is low grade energy and a potential pollutant on this planet.

The only thing we can do with such amounts of heat to produce the kind of energy we need and consume is build thermo-electric power plants to generate electricity. Here is the crunch:

> Thermoelectric power use has a significant impact on water resources and the power sector is highly dependent on these water resources; the United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated on a national level that 41% of all freshwater withdrawals in the United States in 2005 were for thermoelectric power operations, primarily for cooling needs.[1]

The guidelines of this site specify that I should address the strongest interpretation of the argument. I felt the underlying message of empathy was more important than the semantics of illegal immigration versus legal. At least in America, the colloquial use of the phrase illegal immigration almost always discusses economic integration in a manner that exploits existing labor laws, which is what I believed the commenter above was speaking of. Again, squabbling over semantics is unimportant and uninteresting in my opinion.

Of course they are imported... they come to Spain just to harvest olives and then leave. I’d call that “imported labour”.

> Eliminate federal-backed student loans

Or make them available to everyone irrespective of their income, make sure it covers the entirety of tuition and board cost, subsidise interest, and require repayments after an income threshold. Offer discounts for people that pay upfront. Get rid of "free ride" tuition in its entirety. This is the Australian and UK model.

I agree with the other stuff though: eliminate useless classes, remedial classes, etc. Also 2 years of courses should be allowed to be completed at community colleges and transfer in directly.

There also needs to be more incentive towards vocational work and apprenticeships.

Bullshit. It'll go like this:

Interviewer: here, a laptop with vi

Applicant: I've never used vi

Interviewer: just hit "i" to be dropped into insert mode, then just navigate with the arrows and use backspace like in any other editor. Ask me when you're ready to save and I'll teach you the magic incantation.

Applicant: types away

If you're not able to code in what's essentially just a test box then that's a useful thing for an interviewer to know. It's a strong indication that you don't fully grasp where the editor stops and the language begins, and unless you're applying for a junior role that's a negative sign.

I wish it was just the things I buy. All my Ebay sales and purchases get confirmation to my Google email, all bank reports come via email, and my doctor too uses a service to send my prescriptions to my gmail address. Recently someone at that service changed the way they operate so now I receive a link where I have to put my equivalent of SSN to download the prescriptions, so data theft while absolutely possible, in this case has to be deliberate.
Still, the amount of personal information available for mining to Google and others is plain scary: I've seen with these eyes lawyers sending photos of sensitive documentation via Facebook or Whatsapp; that's even beyond stupid.

Exploring and explaining JavaScript and the latest trends (A screencast series)
I think that Microsoft's past issues and conflicts with the tech community at
large are now becoming significant strengths.

I had the chance to sit in on a conversation held with Satya Nadella a bit more
than a year ago at a top US university. One of the questions asked of him by an
undergraduate student was why work for Microsoft when other tech firms /
startups were doing cooler things [1] and might be better respected.
His answer was that Microsoft was all about helping other people build things,
whatever the appearances, and in 2018 isn't that what's really cool? Which way
did 2019 and 2020 look like they were going? He also described some of tech's
challenges as an industry and how Microsoft had adapted it's culture to these
without losing it's soul.

I thought it was a poor answer at the time, and still think its credulous, but
it seems increasingly on the money in terms of addressing the moment we find
ourselves in today. In the context of the recent CNBC article about Facebook's
lower offer acceptance rate [2], or Google's own emphasis on the importance of
culture [3] for performance, I just can't picture these same artices being
written about Micrsoft.

Of course part of the reason I can't picture those articles is because for as
long as I can remember bashing Microsoft was the norm , and articles about that
would seem trite and irreverent - even if accurate and important. But momentum
can be huge, whatever the reason, and a change in momenetum can be incredibly
difficult to deal with.

A good example can be found in finance, where Goldman Sachs saw a 40% increase

> how to quickly appeal to some manager dude

That is a great description of what an interview actually is. While your larger point is valid, you do have to get the job in the first place to have the opportunity to prove they were right to hire you. So you need to appeal to whomever you are talking to.
the cruel part is that it adds to the candidates nervousness. so i avoid that, but otherwise i agree, especially if it is a modern version where arrow keys and backspace work in insert mode, so one doesn't even need to use command mode to make corrections.
Yes it is. But the page is bloated with heavy JS and design elements, making it hard to view the content on their page. They also serve you with a low-resolution version of the images.
The irony is that the machines probably avoid a bigger human cost

When 10 people own as much as half the population, there's definitely a lot wrong with society.

It's perhaps worth considering that most companies might not replicate that structure internally. Given the numbers above, this strikes me as good reason to suspect that the approach you describe - while definitely a good idea to promote equality! - might not have the the numerical outputs you expect.

Really sad and shocking. On the other hand, one glance at industrial meat production shows how little we as a species care about our fellow creatures. Live animals (male chicks) thrown in meat grinders, calves separated at birth from their mothers, pigs living with horrendous infections in their own waste, geese force-fed no matter the pain,just to produce fat livers. And then the animals are ferried off to be killed in the most horrendous ways. You and I are both contributing to this by the choices we make to eat the cheapest/easiest/most convenient... meals.
> DOS was rock solid

DOS was rock solid because it did nothing. Many programs, particularly games and anything that did networking, didn't even use DOS interfaces—they bypassed them entirely and worked with either the BIOS or hardware directly. There was no memory protection, no multitasking, and, on a higher level, no permissions nor sandboxing. So while maybe it "just worked", I wouldn't call it robust.
I don't know about the odds of that, but the odds of someone unleashing a sophomorically cynical response on Hacker News seem pretty strong. As is quite obvious from the article, the person in question just published a book on his experiences (which might take a while to work through the system in every sense).

Beware, Migadu's biggest drawback, which is not listed, is that customer service is non-existent. You contact them about some questions and wouldn't see any responses, not even an auto reply or a ticket. It looks as if it's run by two or three people who have day jobs and other things to take care of and that Migadu is just a hobby project. Email is way too important for me (and I believe for most people), since it's the key to many online services, to let it be served by someone who's not into it full time.
If the work is illegal then why not complain about your greedy compatriots that don't use legal contracts and pay the taxes? I am sure that the government can do a few checks and find the illegal workers if this is not happening the problem is again with your country government and local corruption.

If the work is legal but you are upset that this workers work on the cheap then do not use the word illegal.
That's true. I too would prefer a leaner page that would just let us navigate the full size images.
PyTorch and Tensorflow both have C++ frontends now, which lowers the barrier of use for me.

Being able to test quickly in Python without compiling is really nice; while I prefer C++ for final products, prototyping PyTorch in Python feels like a better use of my time.

There’s a fuller ecosystem; I needed a PCA implementation. Instead of just using scipy, I had to choose an algorithm and use LAPACK myself.
> but it kills millions of birds

Presumably. Is an hypothese.

The article talks about "nearly 100.000 birds killed in Portugal" but the title extrapolates it somehow to "millions of birds killed in Mediterranean" without more supporting data. 96.000 != "millions".

That extrapolation is assuming that all olives in Mediterranean are from the same variety. Another source of statistical error unchecked and running wild in their extrapolation.

Olives are collected from September (green) to May but mainly between November to January. For some reason, the study forgot to mention that most migrating birds are in Africa in Nov-Jan. Only some common species remain. I see a photo with three dead thrushes and a fringillid. Four dead birds.

What is well known is that Malta or Lebanon kills much more migrating birds each year, including protected species, raptors etc. If you look for 2,5 millions of dissapeared birds each year the correct answer is probably here:

They are called "seasonal workers".

And they aren't imported because they choose when and where to go. For example they are choosing not to go to the UK because of Brexit concerns.
In our economic system, that's kind of how it works. It's a survival-of-the-fittest environment, where anyone who can exploit the rules of the legal system while making the most profit will grow to be the largest. That's why you see so many "unethical" huge corporations in the world, because they were the ones that learned to exploit the system. To actually change the outcome at-scale, you need to change the system, which we haven't figured out how to do yet while still providing a good quality of life.
>my future employer/recruiter underestimated my value

That would explain why Aldi can be successful in the USA. Even after more than a decade living in more than one states, and I am still not used to the generally poor quality of fresh produce.

Seasonal gardening and local farmers help, but it's not cheap at all. I grew with up with seasonal farmer's market having higher quality at the same or even slightly lower price than the grocery store, but not in the US, higher quality but at fancy price, although they receive the same subsidies and it does cost them that much more.

How has Migadu been for you? I've contacted the team a few times, but never received any responses or seen any action taken. I like the pricing since it would work out very well for personal emails where you need a bunch of mailboxes (not just aliases) but not getting even an auto reply or a ticket for mails is big cause for worry. As I mentioned in another comment here, it looks as if Migadu is run by two or three people who have day jobs and other things to take care of and that Migadu is just a hobby project.

Runbox is also probably a small team, but their responsiveness to mails is very good (usually a few hours or maybe a day or two at the most).

I don't like Fastmail and other providers who charge a lot per mailbox (a lower storage limit is not a big deal for me) when one needs many mailboxes with separate credentials (not aliases).
Based on a very shallow reading of Infiniband, I think some of the interconnects of supercomputers are essentially DMA-based rather than network-based. So it's like writing something massively multithreaded (your barrier is one step above shared memory) versus multihosted.

I couldn't say whether the techniques will still be applicable to your field (not knowing what you do), but these books are a dive into how to squeeze the most effiency out of limited hardware.

Even if you don't directly use any of the techniques,I think books like this give you a better appreciation of how to make your software more efficient and how well architecture software and choices in data structures and algorithms can massively improve your software. And more efficient software is something I think we should all strive for

It's unlikely that the two breaches are related. A government-backed breach will usually try to stay stealthy and will not burn their access by exploiting it for cybercrime.

I believe the pilots should intimately undestand the systems and the automation and have the ability to understand what the plane does and why, especially when it is wrong.
In this case knowing the FBW envelope protections of airbus it was clear that the system was responding to a high angle of attack situation to avoid stalling, of course it was wrong and after disconnecting the autopilot the pilot should have immediately turned off the 2 out of the 3 ADIRUs to force the plane into alternate law where those protections are off.
