It does sound like fun, and I might give it a shot. I had been thinking of putting some of my notes up as I work, but so much of it doesn't really lend itself to a blog post, at the moment it's mostly me banging my head against type inference stuff.
Amazing! How it works?

>We 100% benefit by moving the power up the chain from uneducated people to educated people.

Most cops are college educated?

>They will have biases, but not the same ones police have and far less racist or sexist ones.

I honestly am going to need citations for that statement.

>Your average engineer is far more intelligent and introspective than your average police though.

Again, this is nothing more than a magical belief. There is nothing about the field of engineering that makes the people doing it inherently better than other fields.

I'll say it again, all you do is shift the biases from a publicly accountable (in theory) position to something hidden behind a corporation and unaccountable to the public. This is not a solution, it's just a shell game.
This backlash is the silver lining to China’s shortsighted implementations of this technology to their world renowned police state.
Potatoes should definitely be on this list, any reason they’re not?
I suddenly got type 1 diabetes and did indeed find that diet cola started tasting a lot more “normal” pretty quickly, while I had hated it before. Still, if you don’t have the same health issues, I’m not sure if there’s a reason to switch. It seems either one should be had in moderation.
Sorry for the NSFW image, it's been removed. Also temporarily removed the ability to add a station while I figure out next steps.
The WHO is a 71-year-old UN agency whose constitution has been signed by 61 countries. One of the organizations it incorporated was the Office International d'Hygiène Publique (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_International_d%27Hygi%...), an international public-health organization.

I have to say I find your pushback at the term "official" perplexing. Why do you disagree with this descriptor? They're literally official. It doesn't get more official than this. Sure, they're sometimes wrong, as your fat-free reference suggests, but that's beside the point.
This is a little dystopian to me. You absolutely can have a job which pays you to build things you think matter.
When a candidate starts the challenge, a unique Git repository is automatically created. Once the timer runs out (configurable per-challenge), the repository goes into read-only mode and new pushes will be rejected. It'll also upload the contents of the repository and email the admin with a download link to the zip file.
It's a place for you to store your stuff, where you control who see's what. You get fine grained access control (per file or directory) all enforced cryptographically. We try hard to hide metadata as well - like file names and sizes, directory structure, your social graph. It doesn't inherently depend on DNS or the TLS certificate authorities for operation (clearly using the public web interface does, but you can also run it locally).

>1) Without GMS, developers will need to fork their apps and reimplement everything they use Play services for today. That's non-trvial and I suspect a substantial number of developers would not be willing to do this.

True but Hawuei has the resources to actually make great open source alternatives that developers can take advantage of.

>2) Even if Huawei developed their own app store, IAP framework, etc, as I understand it the order in the US prevents Huawei from entering into any new business with US companies without a license. So, does that mean that FB, Twitter, et all would be prohibited from listing their apps? I believe so.

I guess but that's not their business.

They will have to come up with a alternative to Arm due to licensing. A RISC-V chipset developed by a major company is an interesting prospect.
Added sugar is chemically identical to natural sugars of the same variety. The only difference is that there is more of it. It's not really the greatest thing natural or added.

I agree, I'm not saying a simple proof is ever out of the question either. But my failed attempt makes me wonder how much of a creative burst a typical person would have to have in order to come up with a simple solution in this case.
At Kyso [1] we are really concerned about climate change and environmental damage in general - one of my co-founders actually started as an environmental scientist. We make tools to make data-visualisations easier using Jupyter but we've been wanting for the last few weeks to really focus the content that we write on climate change, from a data point of view.

I'm wondering does anyone here have experience with this - where do you source data-sets, what kind of charts have the most impact on people - is this even worth doing?

We've made a few studies before going through Co2 rates (https://kyso.io/KyleOS/atmospheric-co2-concentrations-2), which countries are on the most sustainable path (https://kyso.io/KyleOS/environment-ranking) and per capita meat consumption (https://kyso.io/eoin/per-cap-meat-consumption) but we'd love to get some advice on how to really target high impact work in this area

[1] https://kyso.io I'm a founder
It's a mix of things to be honest. For instance, you're right, for many non tech centred companies the software stuff isn't all that important.

Hell, in many situations in general it isn't that important, since knowing the right problem to solve and who to market the solution to often matters a lot more than the technical quality of the solution in question. People and companies generally don't judge products and services by code quality or development practices, and unless these cause it to constantly break, don't really care about them at all.

But other factors do matter here. If a company is a known brand, then they can keep getting customers for terrible products for a long, long time, simply because they're the first name people go to. At some point you become so big, you get so much momentum, that you can basically publish/release anything and people will buy it. Apple could sell the most broken phones on the planet, and have 10 million + people rush out and buy every one.

Do companies get away with it forever? No, but the bigger you are, the longer it takes for you to fail after your products/services become crappy.

And yeah, as you say, local optimums matter too. If most companies in your field are inefficient and put out terrible products, then there's not much pressure for you to be much better.

That's generous.

Widespread gigabit is a recent development, and it's still expensive. Whatever technology takes advantage of it is a few years out. I had megabyte cable ~5 years before YouTube launched.

Yeah but Russia hitting us with hypersonic weapons and China sabotaging us with electronic warfare or North Korea nuking us is a far greater possiblity that may occur than aliens invading. That is why our money is pumped there.

But at least Will Smith is still around in case the aliens invade, so i feel safer......
I’m guessing the protein column is per-serving. If so, it’s the only per-serving data here.
Last time when I checked, the 11km South West Rail Link in Sydney took 6 years to complete. 12 years after Kevin Rudd promised to build NBN for everyone, after billions of tax $ already spent, my places in inner west Sydney and inner south east Melbourne are still not connected to NBN.

If anyone asks me how long will it take to build the Melbourne to Sydney high speed rail, my honest answer would be 30-50 years.
I think it's currently technically feasible on top-of-the-line phones to implement real time nudity detection and hiding by default. I can see it being a solved problem in 5 years. Maybe it will display at first but be blacked out after a few milliseconds.

Ahahaha...

One company I worked for had a great website. One of my coworkers worked on it as his baby and took great care of it. Rest of the software stack was a dumpster fire.

One other coworker came on board because they thought "no bad company would ever have a bad website". The guy who hired him left a week after he joined. One developer left every week for four weeks afterwards.

Website quality is a weak signal; I'd say if a website didn't have any errors or warnings in $BROWSER DevTools, or made a mention of not pasting JavaScript here or having an explicit "oh hey you're a developer we're hiring", then that's good. Otherwise keep asking questions.
This idea of momentum reminds me of Jim Collins Flywheel Effect

https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/the-flywheel.html

I have to disagree with the broad statement that a busted software development process is peanuts. In highly regulated industries like finance, bad software can cost you billions in fines from regulators.

In these industries, they have to invest in technology and good processes if they want to stay in business.

Reading the replies to this is really disheartening.

I assume many of you are software engineers. The job market is _great_ for us. Please take the time to find a job that you think matters for more than just acquiring money. There are plenty out there and they're probably struggling to hire too.
That can hardly be interpreted as talking about 'position.' Also, it helps to remember that 1 nanometer is about 10 atom sizes.

A Kubernetes Any% Speedrun
To his credit he just kinda sucked it up and got on with it. I was happy because eventually I didn’t have to work on it anymore. Surprisingly, all the money they wasted on buying rack servers and Oracle enterprise licences didn’t net them more than 10 visitors a day and it feel apart. Once it all went pop, him and I crossed paths on other projects too, got to trade stories about the absurdity of it all.
at a 1E6 atm, it's beyond useless for any practical application (unlike "normal" superconductors that can be used with a bit of N2 plumbing). If you scroll through the paper, you'll see they talk about using a diamond anvil.

Even if we could compress anything other than a spec of this stuff, it would still require massive amounts of PV work to achieve the P required.
yeah. this discussion seems to mix up android's success as an ecosystem and android's quality as an OS and a technical achievement.

android's large market share is attributable to many things beyond the software itself, which, in any case, owes a heavy debt to Linux. replacing android as an ecosystem will require enticing a large 3rd party developer base to write apps. the worldwide android developer community is full of developers eager to you know, like, make actual money on their apps. if Huawei can create a new app marketplace where that happens for these developers, they should be able to attract abundant talent. they should imitate Apple, not Google.
This. I was just reading some messages on the gofundme for his vacation (mentioned in thread) and one of the families on his route said that he remembers every childs names, even after they have left the house, which to me is something you would only expect of a good friend.

It seems like he is just a genuinely good guy who cares about these people and as you said, has the ability to connect with them on a level that most people don't.

That’s great, you know to hire an expert and let them get on with it.

The problems start when the client either can’t or won’t explain what they want, then gets upset that what you produce doesn’t match what’s in their heads. At that point they start trying to undo every decision and things go south rapidly.
Bicycles should have warning labels that disclose the risk of head injuries.

Chairs should have warning labels that overuse could lead to obesity.

Computer OSes should have a mandatory splash screen that overuse could result in obsesity.

Hair dryers should continue to have warnings to not be used in the shower due to electrocution risk.

And, why are sugared milk drinks excerpt? Why are Frappuccinos exempt? Why are candy bars exempt? How about fruit juice? Basically, let’s just make a generic warning label encompassing Prop 65 as well and put it on everything. Since everything used to extreme can be unhealthy.

Bathtubs should have warning labels as well: there is a significant drowning risk.

In California, you can’t go anywhere without encountering a Prop 65 warning, now food is next? Eventually these messages become meaningless. There is not a single person drinking a Coke that will change behavior because of a warning label just like not a single person avoids a parking garage because of a Prop 65 label.
I've been using Qless for a client recently.

The core logic itself is Lua that runs in Redis itself, but each language generally needs a client to interface between the native expected norms and the Lua. I can't comment on the availability or quality of Python or Go client libraries.

It's not perfect, but it's workable.

The difference is that before the election, Lenin Moreno was seen as the successor of Rafael Correa (unlike the Trump and Obama situation). Correa's grant of asylum to Assange was seen as a political/ideological stand, and his successor was expected to continue it. When Moreno got elected he reverted enough of Correa's policies that the latter considers him a traitor [1]. That was unexpected.

So is the solution going off-grid for several years, or using the scanning service?
Right now, we have a consumer, provider model of the internet. The internet in the 90s was very different, and looked much more peer-to-peer.

The higher level sharing and storage that we have now through services such as Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, etc, could have been built in a peer-to-peer way, on top of things like Peergos.

I do not think that Peergos will necessarily be the exact technology that a new, decentralized version of internet technologies will be built on, but we are building the infrastructure and knowledge needed to be ready for power and economics shifts online.
People come to data science from a mix of CompSci, Business, and Statistics/Research backgrounds, often with some, but not all of the skillset. From what I've seen, it can be hard for people from any of those camps to to look into the other two camps and discern which of the skills are expected/important/relevant to a data science role.

This kind of article can be valuable as efficient diagnostics way to prioritize skills worth learning.

E.g. I'm from a business background, but regularly use SQL and Python. I know I'd need those to work productively in data science. But do I also need to know Git? Best practices to avoid SQL injection? What a monad is? How to implement Djikstra's?

I'm interested to learn all of those things, but I also have a personal life and an entire second list of know-I-don't-knows in statistics. It can be helpful to get confirmation that "yeah, you know enough SQL, but it's worth learning a little bit about graph traversal."
Prestige. Admiration. Beating the USSR even after their stronger start.

All the positive aspects of America's place in the world's consciousness rest on our achievements and leadership in technology, education, and exploration. In other words, NASA.

We have a lot of black marks on our reputation, too. If we keep neglecting our proudest achievement, that's all we'll have left.
I concur with everything you've said.

I will say that I drink a smoothie as a (post workout) meal 1-2x per week and the ingredient that really alters that composition is almond butter (and quite a bit of it - 1/3 cup or more).

Nut butters, yogurt and oats should be primary ingredients and fruits should be sparingly added just for a bit of flavor (I throw in 8-10 blueberries which is plenty).
There are tradeoffs to either a file first system like in China or a first to use system like in the US.

"well the pressure aspect wouldn't require constant energy input."

But you have to put energy in to compress it, energy that is lost (since you're compressing it isothermally). Since we're talking about 1E6 atm, any appreciable volume would require insane amounts of E to compress.
They sent an email about this to Slack admins this morning, with a section "Why the change" that doesn't answer the question at all.

> Why the change:

> • To enable this improved experience, we are removing the ability to share remote control of your screen during a Slack Call.

How does removing this feature enable an improved experience?

There are a few major differences between those and starlink.

Most other satellite internet attempts/successes are in geostationary orbits, so the latency due to the speed of light makes it a non-starter for many situations. Starlink is going to be MUCH closer to the planet in extremely low orbits so latency is well within acceptable ranges for most use cases, and in some situations like cross-continent communication it can actually be faster than ground-based systems (at least theoretically).

The other aspect is that SpaceX is a rocket company who's whole company is based around making launches cheaper. They are probably the only company in history that might be able to pull off launching the multiple thousands of satellites that they require to have a fully functioning system at this altitude.

You would use she/her pronouns for trans women, and he/him pronouns for trans men. Just treat trans women as you would any other woman, and trans men as you would any other man.

Generally people who prefer neutral pronouns will identify as nonbinary, genderqueer, or perhaps transmasculine or transfeminine, (although not all people who so identify prefer neutral pronouns) and you might need to ask them for their preference.

I tend to disagree, if it's computer generated it is not art in the general sense. Art is the expression and application of human creative skill and imagination and AI doesn't have any creativity nor imagination, nor does it have any context within the current culture.

However, art can exist within this context if humans are involved somehow or have some input, and I don't mean just the coder's input.
