I may have just the book for you. The Manager's Path: A Guide for Tech Leaders Navigating Growth and Change by Camille Fournier is a great book with lots of examples on how to be a manager in tech.
She structured her book very sistematically in a way from junior developer all the way up to CTO. On each level she talks about the job description, the hardships to endure and how to solve them.

Citylab again gives the false impression that the "citizenship question" is something new and out of the blue.

In fact, the citizenship question was present in some form in every census from 1890 on (except in 1960 only, "country of birth" was asked instead). From 1970, citizenship continued to be asked in the long-form questionnaires.

In 2010, when Democrats controlled both Congress and the Presidency, the Census omitted the long form altogether, instead doing only the ACS (American Community Survey).

So, the plan to return to the long form survey and the inclusion of the citizenship question in it is absolutely consistent with the past 130 years of precedent; 2010 was the exception.
If that is true, Twitter should also block every newspaper out there. Their bloated websites max out my CPU too.
I can easily believe that about celebrities. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the rate of mental health issues is much higher than average in celebrities.
I am really interested in the new schooling trends although I don't find "traditional school" as something intrinsically bad (typically, everything depends on people who work at school and parents being ready to cooperate with teachers and with each other). So I made an effort to go through that long elaboration and here is my 2 cents.

The claim that current school system "is based on a system that was developed over a hundred years ago to prepare people to be Prussian soldiers" sounds strange. Maybe that was the case in Prussia, but there is quite a lot of countries that didn't have particular reason to follow the Prussian way of education.

Another important thing. This school is not a school. "Pathfinder isn’t actually a school. It’s not accredited and doesn’t have a state license". Legally kids that attend this school are homeschooled so all the responsibility for passing legally required tests lays on their parents. It is hard to say how much work parents has to put into actual pupils preparation and what are results as compared to traditional schools.

This schools is also a private, paid school. The price and ability to pre-selects (recruit) kids automatically filers out many "problematic" kids. Public school system does not have such luxury, they need a system that will provide some way of dealing also with kids having various background (including aggressive, non-cooperating kids with parents with the same attitude).

It is easy to have "open" education and "free" collaboration without any "Prussian discipline" when all kids are smart and well behaving and you have parents that take active part in the education process.

"Consider that every county in America has standing armies of professionals paid to teach children how to read. Then consider that Sudbury Valley has no reading instruction whatsoever, yet its graduates all leave campus perfectly literate." The question is what would happen if they got kids with dyslexia, serious problems with concentration, luck of support at home, etc. Wouldn't they need someone from that "army of professionals" to actually figure out how to deal with such kid?

Next it seems this kind of schools fail often "Wilder says. Sudbury schools have a high failure rate. So, too, did the previous generation of free schools that arose in the sixties and seventies, characterized by their “brief life spans and the often loosely defined nature of their educational practices,” as one study put it.".

Apparently something is not working that well, although their approach sounds very cool and people behind that particular schools seems to be passionate about what they are doing.
Amazon video prime app – Amazon Video
This is so eerily similar to killing of Picasa. They killed a great functional popular app and forced everyone to mediocre half assed website. Not sure what is going on at Google. Is there anyone in charge here?
Suppose imagemagick has this license.

If I modify this popular commandline program to do my deep learning based manipulation on my server, do I have to publish my changes if asked?

Suppose Go has this license. If I don't distribute Go but modify it to serve some kind of requests in 2 ns instead of built in Go's 1200 ms for that operation, do I have to share my version even if I am only using it in-house, if it serves some traffic to people (its "output") and they request my code?

If any of the backend of Google's search engine, Google, which crawls the whole web, includes tooling that this license and which they've modified internally, can I request a copy if I see its crawl results as a user?

Please answer these questions.

And also take note of the fact that calling someone a fanboy is not an argument and it doesn’t make you right.

Hydrogen cars already require a battery. Inevitably, the battery will get bigger and the fuel cell will get smaller and what do you know, it’s a BEV with a hydrogen range extender just like everyone told you.

My reading of the above is that the hammers and wrenches are used indirectly, i.e., to maintain the equipment on the lines.
What I mean is, they could vastly expand it and still not need a cloud. They would have to vastly vastly expand it, which is possible but much less likely.

And for AI you can already handle that in the cloud if you actually want to. The innovations you can get on Stadia are mostly tied to rendering capabilities.
Well I shouldn't have to publish them, if I'm not distributing that software.

Your private forks are private, even if you produce something using them. You can't taint that production or force someone to publish changes they don't want to publish and aren't distributing.

You are saying if a textbook publisher modifies open source layout software then uses it to set a textbook, they can't retain those internal modifications if someone asks to see them. I think they should be able to keep them private.
The problem is: I have yet to find a person in the fediverse that interests me. I like to read tweets from accomplished people. Successful startup founders for example. Is there anybody out there? Any links to people of significance in the fediverse?
At what point is the tech community going to abandon twitter?

From my perspective it is just bots, "influencers", and propaganda.

I see very little social utility for using the network, especially when compared to the damage it is causing through the spread of misinformation and outright lies.
For me it's more the opposite, in the last 2-3 years I said no for the first time in 15-20 years because I was more in the mood to do something on my own or just chill and do nothing.

I'm just saying this because in retrospect I think I've never been lonely because I was going out and meeting people at every opportunity that came up and I could never understand people who said "I'd rather stay at home today.". But because I've not got dozens of friends this was still a manageable level and I'd still often would've gone out more.

What I find strange how this is presented as an either-or option between banning and not banning. You can also have an intermediate warning page. YouTube does this to any third-party website for example. Something like "Warning: JSFiddle has been abused by spammers to run crypto mining scripts. We recommend that you that you do not continue to this JSFiddle page unless you trust the source of the link" should work just fine, no?

Oh, if you meant to save the money spend over about two decades and use that instead to pay out retirement for one to two years, then sure. However, retirement lasts more than one to two years. One or two decades are more likely.
> GAs in general are explored in academia because they are a fad that's easily publishable.

I would say 90% of GA papers are because of this.

> Other than that this class of methods is in general very computationally expensive and very inefficient, and don't provide any advantage over plain old adaptive sampling, or even dumb regular lattice sampling.

Definitely false. The vast majority of OR-type papers in good journals include comparison to weak baselines like those, and wouldn't be published (in those venues) if they didn't win.

> then I learned that that's actually a very bad salesperson in many cases.

I recently read the book "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss[1], a book on negotiation by a former FBI hostage negotiator. It actually covered this, how the stereotypical sales tactics are actually pretty bad and he covers approaches that work much better. I highly recommend the book (or to watch some of his youtube videos).

I absolutely disagree. Just taking the workplace as an example, I've been at companies where I would hang out with at least one coworker per week and there were companies where I did nothing at all with coworkers outside office hours except maybe the christmas party.

And I do think if you're not in any club (for sports or hobbies or whatever) it gets harder and harder to make friends the older you get (spoken like a true mid-30s person ;). I don't have kids or a dog, so the workplace is next to the best venue to meet new people.

TLDR: I don't think it's in any way rare or weird to not receive invitations if you don't already have a network of friends. This is a catch-22.
>Edit2: What about delivering pogo sticks by drone?

Bruce Sterling did this already in the book 'Distraction'. He also had off-road vehicles with loads of pogostick legs.

edit - just re-read, did you mean pogo-stick drones that do delivery, or drones that deliver pogo-sticks? I went with the former, but am now not sure that is what you meant.
Of course. I use IRC for a bunch of different reasons. I have some bots, I occasionally frequent a few channels related to specific topics and it's a place where the snr can be quite high at times thanks to the fact that most of the noise is on other networks.
There are many reasonable proposals in the article but they are only wishful thinking: there is no way the USA passes a law similar to GDPR, no matter what people want and how many similar articles appear.

Microsoft was not built on $5 one off software.
As a developer, your priority should be the utmost satisfaction of your users, not your convenience. The biggest lie one can tell themselves is "After version '1,2,3', I will make a good app". That's not how development works. Once you start something, you are most likely stuck with it. So start well and don't rely on the magic rewrite that will never come.

By definition axioms can't be proven but they are assumptions which we take for granted upon which we build science. However, in science, the axioms are such that they can be observed and discarded if we ever find them to be false. This is where it differs from religion.
That's a narrow view point. You as a developer have a "beefy" desktop. What about your users? Most people in the world don't have "beefy" desktops. These days, 2GB and 4GB machines are still the norm.

> where "success" for Google is defined as "billions of users"

Why? This how old Microsoft thought and it’s unbelievable that Google is taking their place while they have renewed to “new Microsoft”. I see tons of small stuff coming out of Microsoft these days that lives on despite tiny niche user base. When they do decide to kill product, they seem to be very sensitive, give plenty of time and figure out some migration path. The point is that a lot of dev ops can be automated in 2019. You can comfortably run small products without much overhead. Google seems to be either behind mastering this art or confused. I thought I would never see a day when I say Microsoft is doing better than Google.
The solution to that paradox, it turns out, is a trick that requires you to own at least two Apple devices. Each one emits a constantly changing key that nearby Apple devices use to encrypt and upload your geolocation data, such that only the other Apple device you own possesses the key to decrypt those locations.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean but most of these systems install a HTTPS certificate on the device so they can analyse the data and re-encrypt it.

Lithium battery is also well known dangerous. Dangerous enough that they are now banned into airplanes

> Hydrogen cars already require a battery.

False claim, supercapacitor on the long term can very likely do the job as a "buffer" after the fuel cell. And they are cheap to produce.
Supercapacitor that "battery-eletric" car also need for their "fast 30min charge" btw.

Have they? Then why are they among the top three car companies in the world and why is Toyota the top selling car brand? The Toyota Corolla was the second best selling car model in the world in 2018:

https://www.jato.com/global-car-market-remains-stable-during...

I don't think these things would be true if Toyota had really been "making the wrong moves for decades".

I think a much more likely scenario is that Toyota knows more about the car business than you do.
Well, we'll see what CCPA looks like by the end. If someone else makes a different law then a federal law will come so as to harmonize the requirements. If no one else makes a different law, CCPA will become a de facto federal law because you ignore California to your own detriment.

tl;dr I hate censorship. if its illegal then prosecute them, but this isn't about legality

They have pretty much blocked historical videos containing much about NAZI Germany as well. [1] Going to be real annoying to lose some classic comics which definitely would not pass the hate/sensitivity crowd today.

I understand the concern youtube has but once you go down this path you pretty much are rewriting history. that is what they need to understand, the past is exactly that, a representation of the views and outlooks of the people and places depicted.

If this continues how long before other countries demand to have content their censors deem offensive removed? Why would we be in position to tell them, no we don't find it offensive, when we don't give them the same right in return.

You can be offended all you want but that does not mean you get to prevent others from viewing it.

With regards to new content postings they obviously need a system which first includes trusted accounts, then their algorithm, then an challenge and remediation system that is well documented and enforced.

Had a similar experience - worked in a big ad agency who hired a new web-developer for one of our clients. As they are one of the biggest website providers, they could identify most of the people that visited a client's site - it even automatically saved the identified user's profile pic from facebook into their database.

That's not biblical. Some Christians believe that, but it's not anywhere in the Bible. In fact Samson committed suicide and mass killing in his final act and Hebrews 11 tells us he is one of those in heaven.
I think that using logical fallacies to prove your own assumptions likewise discards observation in favor of a totalitarian explanation of everything, which amounts to a religious belief. A key aspect of science is accepting that our understanding is limited and contingent, whereas religion tends to use faith to prove itself.
As for GDPR: at least in Germany it's problematic. Our system typically relies on competitors to enforce law abidance in companies (so called "Abmahnungen" based on the "Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb", UWG for short, a set of laws regarding unlawful competition). One court recently ruled that GDPR violations don't fall under those laws (https://www.datenschutzbeauftragter-info.de/landgericht-stut...).

That leaves us with:
- reporting violations to the officials. They are chronically understaffed, have little technical expertise and it takes months to years for them to act. They are very hesitant to hand out fines, but theoretically can.
- individual citizens suing a company to force them to abide by the law. This is rare because the citizen will have to cough up the money to go to court, and even if he wins, the company will only be forced to abide by the laws regarding this citizen, not in general.
- publicly shaming companies into compliance.

A higher court might have different opinions, and I very much hope they will, because GDPR quickly becomes meaningless without enforcement.

Edit: I have literally no idea why this is downvoted. Unless it's just because you personally don't like me, please leave a comment explaining what is incorrect.
Good answers.

I'd complement the "can't compute a gradient" also with the "gradient won't help you" cases (lots of local maxima/minima )
That's their argument, that the barriers to entry are too high. Obviously people who've successfully navigated those barriers will be inteligent and capable, but perhaps we could lower the average skill and knowledge level of doctors by 10% but reduce costs by 50% (by having more people into the profession) and therefore being able to provide appropriate care to more people and detect conditions earlier. This could make for a net-positive result in terms of overall health in society. Similarly, if you use technology to supplement a human doctor, you should likely be able to train doctors less and achieve similar outcomes.
