I think they propose voluntarily subscribed-to private cops/legal jurisdictions with either voluntarily subscribed-to arbitration contracts for inter-jurisdictional conflicts or insurance payouts for when some one who subscribes to no jurisdiction (or one with no arbitration agreement with yours) stabs/robs/whatevers you.

Basically as it is now but instead of the law and tax being collected based on location, you get to freely choose what law(s)-enforcement you want to be under.

Confidence is inextricably linked to effect size - we can be very certain that nothing major is happening, even if we're completely unsure if something is happening. Put more crudely, it takes a very large sample size to ascertain if bacon might increase your risk of colorectal cancer, but a very small sample size to ascertain if a bullet to the head causes brain damage.
There was also lots of subsidy fraud, where low value manufacturers would crank out what we’re basically golf carts and then indirectly collect part of the subsidy via a process similar to money laundering.

I'll second that.

I was there during the sunflower protests. Student activist sat in the parliament building for a couple days. The entire country rallied to their cause. Restaurants sent food, small shops (Taiwanese equivalent of Bodega) donated water, businesses sent pillows and blankets.

If you tried that in China,you'd be sent to a xinjiang reeducation camp. At the very least.

A common PRC propagandic trope is that the ten thousand years of Chinese history doesn't lend the culture to democracy. That the culture is simply incompatible with the concept - the people need autocracy. Taiwan is a shining and obvious example otherwise.

Not to mention the absurdly low cost of living, one of the best public transit systems in the world, socialized healthcare, strong education system churning out competent professionals, and mountains... My partner and I are preparing a semi permanent move in the next few years.

Edit: if anyone is curious, I documented my cost of living there back in 2014. Fair warning, I did so as a much younger, relatively naive dude, but the data's there anyway: http://ablate.blogspot.com/2014/05/what-does-it-cost-to-live...
Fullstack.io | Book author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.fullstack.io/write-a-book Earn on order of $50k/year by writing a programming book. We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new books this year. Our books sell very well because:
- We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps.

- We guarantee the books and code are up to date.

- We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k)

- We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time.

If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the book. We have an audience, and we know what they want to read - so when your book is done, we already have people who want to buy it.

If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your book in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend, Fullstack D3 even more.)

We’re looking to write content about JavaScript, Building Full-stack web apps, ASP.NET Core, Serverless, Python, Kubernetes, Elixir, etc. Anything up and coming.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

You have an invalid SSL certificate.
Tata is already fairly big, you just don't see their cars here.
Yeah, I feared it was a politicized term. I guess my real thought here is, what is the end goal?

So you call it a genocide and give a lump sum of money to the indigenous populations. Now what? The government already admits guilt time and time again for the indigenous problems. We already fund and subsidize their way of life. What else do they want? How many more ways do they want us to skin this cat?
>Who gets to define what the "ideal human" is?

Psychiatrists/the authors of the DSM.

>If the ideal can change, doesn't that make classifying mental illness completely subjective?

Yes, it is completely subjective:

I’m also never sure when I read these things; is the amount of CO2 listed for a flight split between the number of passengers?
I'd grab a couple of Sphero robots (little bluetooth rolling balls) and show them changing colors/moving around the room via code. The apps for them have programming environments.
Once a chargeback is filed you are losing the fee if you either accept it or don't fight it. My cancellation process is simple, certainly simpler than contacting your bank and identifying yourself and going through the chargeback process. That doesn't stop people from going to their bank for the last 3 months of subscription and calling them fraudulent because they never told us to cancel them. I fight every single chargeback because their always lies by the customer in my case and they involve real money already spent by my company. We win some and lose some.
Corporations will generally act in the most profitable way, sometimes it seems altruistic because there's value in winning customer loyalty or developer respect. But they are fundamentally amoral and should never be trusted to act in your best interests.

For this reason, holding a twenty year grudge against a company is just as illogical as standing by one for twenty years because you think they're the good guys. In twenty years, any given business' strategy has probably shifted five times.
> distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities

For some mental illnesses, this pretty much does amount to society defining the condition. That doesn't mean they aren't real, just that diagnostic standards including "interferes with functioning" will necessarily shift as the meaning of everyday functioning varies.

The classic example is someone with poor cognitive control meeting the ADHD standard of "difficulty in at least two settings". Trouble maintaining a home, but not socially or professionally, doesn't suffice, but trouble in home and education does. So the same person could be mentally ill in a place with compulsory education through 18, but not mentally ill in a place where they drop out of school earlier and find a job that works for them.
Right, Amazon's inventory system certainly can't be run out of a spreadsheet. But even for something like a very successful restaurant with half a dozen locations across the state, a few spreadsheets often sit comfortably in the middle of it all.
I probably drink 6-8 cans of soda daily, though they've got less caffeine than a cup of coffee.

I find I just like to sip on something constantly, and water gives me a headache.

Might also be progressive on the flight frequency as well. Like first flight in year is cheap, second one is more expensive etc., and also progressive on the income. So that everyone gets approximately the same amount of flights they can afford in a year.
perhaps it's gone over my head as I read the article, but now I'm curious... homeless in American cities are commonly also associated with mental health issues, whereas in this frame the population is unable to find accommodation? Did I miss something ?

Keep in mind that the protection seems to only covers certain types of disputes: https://support.stripe.com/questions/payments-that-qualify-f...

For instance "product not received" , "product unacceptable", or "subscription canceled" would not be covered.
Well, I only measure the things how they work for me. And these smart playlist were the default - you can press "edit" and see how they did it to learn and customize.

"?playedLast < 30d" is not a hard query filter
Put on a "hacking" demo by using chrome debugger / inspect element to modify html. Ask kids who their favorite celebrity / athlete is, pull up their twitter and edit the tweets to say "Joe is so cool!", etc. Load the school's webpage and change the names of teachers. Make it goofy.
You mean going into China or coming from China? Tesla’s are heavily tariffed in China already, so too late for the former.
Has the company looked at which departments need to be on-premise and then let the other ones have flexibility? If the departments who work remotely now and then are meeting the company's goals, it seems like a model to follow.
Random Forest doesn't use boosting. Tree models like XGBoost which do use boosting are indeed very prone to overfitting.
Yes I do lose most disputes regardless of what the situation is, and I did forget about the $15 fee. I guess it really depends on the type of business, will probably make sense for some, but as a consumer I do see a lot of small businesses out there that should be looking first at how to get their chargeback rate low enough that they don’t need something like this in the first place.
Location: Vancouver

Remote: Preferred, not required.

Willing to relocate: Yes - worldwide.

Technologies: Elasticsearch, ELK stack, log consolidation, data modelling, security analysis, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Skype for Business, Cisco Call Manager, VoIP, product management, product/service creation, Powershell, basic Python (Improving fast)

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/temp-2019

Email: yvrjay at protonmail

I'm interested in opportunities involving security, data, and the cloud. Technically, I'm currently creating an Elasticsearch service and pipeline that ingests terabytes of logs per day. Logically, I'm trying to develop a data model that will work across multiple log types i.e. firewalls, routers, switches, databases, active directory, etc. All the while staying within budget and ensuring each team has the data they need for maximum productivity.

My experience has been as a systems administrator while creating products/services and rolling them out to enterprise scale clients. While at the same time, taking on roles as a product manager and technical account manager to evolve the product/service and ensure the clients needs are continuously met. I'm excited about opportunities to use my skills in regards to security within a cloud environment. Right now I'm much more interested in a position where I can grow my skillset than salary, location, or other factors. As such, I'm currently open to moving worldwide for the right opportunity.

Note 1: Interested in part time work, particularly in the security field.

Note 2: Open to technical recruiters reaching out to me.

Magic Leap Is Hiring Solutions Engineers (Web3L, Unity, Unreal Experience)
Given their financial constraints, demonstrating to them how they could use a Raspberry Pi-level device to create a website or business accessible to people around the world might inspire.

There's an unspoken dogma that without a $1000 phone and pricey Mac, you can't be a creator.

Alternatively, demonstrate a very cheap Youtube or podcast production setup and show them how they could do a channel inexpensively.

Common theme is that the barriers to entry in many digital fields are lower than expected.

I've also had kids amazed with tools like React Native Expo where they can make a "real" app that lives permanently on their phone after the exercise in just a few hours (starting with some boilerplate code that they learn to customize). Walked a group of 10-year-olds through the process and they each came away with a very basic app on their phones that looked unique.
