You and I remember the '90s very differently. Clinton's term saw a big push against private firearms ownership, a crackdown on "militias" that had sprung up resist big, overbearing government, incidents like Waco and Ruby Ridge that fueled anti-government sentiment, culminating in the Oklahoma City bombing, a dark incident that still has conspiracy overtones. There was a huge push against right wing "militias" but that was just code for "punish uppity conservatives" mainly. Same as now, but now is actually worse because they have refined their methods.

Clinton presided over the dotcom bubble era and got a lot of mileage over "balancing the Federal budget" which was a complete lie from beginning to end. He never balanced anything, it was all projections. He also kicked off the housing bubble by allowing deregulation of banking and credit, which led us to the near total crash in 2008. Everyone blames Bush for that, but it was Clinton's policy change that led to it. That was maybe Clinton's one market-friendly move but boy did it blow up in our faces! The banking and credit industry got what they paid for.

I see little to nothing "rightward" with any Democrats in my lifetime. I just see a monstrous effort to consolidate and centralize power and thereby limit the effectiveness of individuals in our society. Like Obama, Clinton wanted everyone dependent on government.

I also think about poor Elian Gonzalez who got shipped back to Castro's Cuba so that his communist indoctrination could be completed. How does that square with the "take in all the immigrants legal or illegal" doctrine of today? All I can think is that Clinton's DOJ was bending over backwards to placate the Cuban government because they adore communism and want to be more like them.

Answered your own question. Assuming Boeing doesn't just scrap this, most airlines will operate either it or the A320neo, not both.
Boeing is never going to be "put out of business." They are too important to the US economy and US national defense for that to ever happen.

What could happen (but still unlikely) is that those within the company who made the decisions that led to the deaths of 300 people could be held to account in a court of law.

Hi it really depends on your setup. To create something like this is nearly impossible with the Google ads interface. The tool for example cross-negates all the keywords and sets them as negatives all the other ad groups, plus you would need to create the same ad for each ad group. If you have 3 maybe it's ok but with 10+ it gets really complicated!
I hate checklists. I've just done an information security checklist at work, 200 questions, lots of them irrelevant, many are very vague, often require evidence that is time consuming to put together. Next week I have a release that I have to put a change ticket in for - another 50 boxes with questions and combos. I'm ready to quit. Don't let checklists turn your company into a bureaucratic hell hole.
Merely repeating something does not make it fact. It's shortsighted to evaluate good and bad purely by outcome. Plenty of psychological and physiological pathologies drive reduced violence, less risk taking, etc.

For instance, are you going to suggest people should become more psychopathic because it's correlated with success?

Are you going to suggest all men take testosterone suppressants because that would reduce violence, risk taking and teenage pregnancy? If the outcome is all that matters, then why not right?

At this level, they won't care for an open format as they can just ask you to reenter all the info in their own form.

They assume if you are effectively looking for a job a 10~30 min data entry for each of these sites won't deter you. Or worse, you'll get tired of entering your data again and again, and won't go to their smaller competitors even if they make more efforts to accommodate you.

I did the whole dance a year ago, and a candidate's time seems to be the least valuable resource in the system (or it's used as a currency to price how much you are dedicated to getting that job)
Back before antibiotics, they used to call syphilis "The Great Imitator." The disease, caused by a spiral-shaped bacteria known as a spirochete, could cause so many different kinds of problems it seemed like 10 diseases in one.

Genetically, Lyme Disease is very close to syphilis. It's also a spirochete, and it is the new "Great Imitator." (1) The main difficult thing about Lyme Disease is that the tests for it currently are not that good. There are a lot of false positives / negatives, and there is no test that show whether a patient has been cured, only whether they've ever been infected.

Neurological Lyme aka neuroborreliosis can cause a number of neurological / psychiatric symptoms, including symptoms like OCD. Doctors never check for Lyme when a patient presents with sudden onset psych problems, even though it's a known cause.

TL;DR -- If you're having mysterious health problems, add a Lyme test to your other tests.

(1) interesting side note -- there are some studies that suggest it can also be sexually transmitting and/or transmitted from mother to child

> which will now stay in storage until 2025

This is the really big problem Boeing now faces.

For these planes to fly again they need to be certified safe to fly again.

However since the FAA was one of the last authorities to ground the plane, it really does not matter what outcome they achieve in their current investigation.

Other aviation authorities around the world will take their own time to investigate if the plane should be allowed to fly.

The conundrum for Boeing is it wants the plane back in the air ASAP but I'm sure many of the world aviation authorities are in no real rush.
I wanted to share this work from a machine learning paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.10670) we recently submitted. TL;DR - the idea is that there has been a lot of recent research on explaining neural networks by attributing importance to each input feature. We go one step farther and incorporate attribution priors - prior beliefs about what these feature attributions should look like - into the training process. We develop a fast, differentiable new feature attribution method called expected gradients, and optimize differentiable functions of these feature attributions to improve performance on a variety of tasks.

Our results include: In image classification, we encourage smoothness of nearby pixel attributions to get more coherent prediction explanations and robustness to noise. In drug response prediction, we encourage similarity of attributions among features that are connected in a protein-protein interaction graph to achieve more accurate predictions whose explanations correlate better with biological pathways. Finally, with health care data, we encourage inequality in the magnitude of feature attributions to build sparser models that perform better when training data is scarce. We hope this framework will be useful to anyone who wants to incorporate prior knowledge about how a deep learning model should behave in a given setting to improve performance.

Beta Blockers Were a Miracle Cure and Then Took over My Life
Because HTML5 is not actually a subset of XML. Every element in XML must be closed, but in HTML5 certain tags (like <hr>, <img>, or <br>) are defined as "void" which means they have no nested content and therefore it's technically improper to close them (although I'd be shocked if any major browsers actually care about that). In other words, an <img> tag does not "open" the definition of a new section of the document the way <div> or <span> do, and it makes no sense to "close" something that was never "open" to begin with.
> Shouldn't smaller sites find it *harder to gain attention of publishers and obtain bespoke ads?

I suspect there's a demand problem: while a bigger site might be better at gaining the attention of those buying non-network ads, there may not be a sufficient volume that is even considering buying ads in that market to support a larger site, and changing that takes either more or bigger sites than even SO.

Apologies, it appears I wasn't clear. I meant the extent that psychology and sociology studies in any part of their fields are quoted when there is only a single study, not just in relationship to internet/social media.

>But we should hardly apologize for turning to what little study and evidence there is rather than pulling "this will cause X to happen" assertions directly from our asses.

The difference is in the latter case we are well aware of the origin, while in the former case many can mistaken think there is the full weight of science behind the findings comparable to the theory of gravity or evolution. They shouldn't make the mistake, but I've seen it made enough times.

Make sure the person writing it has at least one interesting insight.
Of course people have a right to speak about what they want, but reddit is not a country. It's a company that can decide whether they tolerate certain ideologies and behaviours on their platform.
If they've used a variety of frameworks and worked on a variety of different projects with varied architectures, it's pretty easy to assume they're not only willing but capable of learning new things. I can pickup pretty much any framework in any language and start utilizing it, but I can assure you it will take me at least a few weeks of learning and using examples/templates to get in the groove of things and a month or so to start really getting into leveraging capabilities. If it's a terribly designed framework, API, or very oddly structured language, it may take a bit more time--or if its leveraged in a massive codebase you need to understand that's poorly documented (were no longer talking about the framework itself though).

Of course if you're trying to measure how quick someone can pickup a framework or if they're capable of "hitting the ground running" on arbitrary framework X with arbitrary existing codebase Y with deliverables/output that assume no learning curves while having no desire investimg in long term talent retention, this approach isn't for you. If minimizing time to market is your main goal, this approach isn't for you. If you want to produce something different where time to market can still reasonable but a bit slower, this approach may be for you.

Easy maintenance. Maximum flexibility. Low tooling.
That sounds like a bad checklist.

Some improvements that can be done:

1. Divide the checklist into "required", "lower priority" and "optional" sections. Will help in just focusing on "required" for time critical implementations, and tackle the rest later if needed.

2. Eliminate requiring evidence and start trusting. If trust is broken (found via audit) then take action. Don't penalize everyone for the mistakes of a few.

3. Add examples for vague cases. Having pre-polulated dropdowns are better than open ended questions. Just add a comments column / field if needed.

4. 200 questions? Seems like overkill. And if all are necessary, then make sure management knows the time that it will take to fill, verify, rectify and submit that sheet.

I think this is the most important advice for employers. Companies often hire people that have experience in as many tools in their current stack as possible.

Perhaps I can get a serious answer here since I have yet had anyone explain to me the difference when I ask elsewhere (and rarely is it relevant to bring up here).

Why do we treat videos of murders different than videos of more prurient crimes? Why is it acceptable to host/download/share/watch a video of a murder as long as no sex crime takes place during it? Even videos devoid of any crime except being videotaped can be far more illegal and socially unacceptable than a video of a murder made by the murderer.

And I don't mean those watching it for political/reporting/policing/etc. reasons, but the ones who do so for entertainment.
