~1 year full time experience + double major in CS (AI/Modeling & Simulation focus) and Math (Pure math focus) from top 5 program in the US + 1.5 years internship experience + 1 year research experience.

I've built several end-to-end advanced AI systems, and love the math behind it all. I'm able to take on entire projects by myself and bring out the best in others in team settings.
Yes, that's exactly what's going on here. The processes last quite a long time.

Similarly, a drought that doesn't last that long (relative to the life of a big tree) can nevertheless kill that tree even though said tree has been growing for centuries.

In other words, there need be no correlation between how little time it takes to ruin something that takes a very long time to make.
It's a tort, not a crime. The individual you defamed can sue you in civil court over the damage you do to their reputation, but the US government can't prosecute you for it.
I'm an experienced iOS developer, comfortable working across platforms and leading small teams. I've shipped many apps to the App Store and Play Store, and filled a lot of roles along the way, but I'd like to focus my time on building a dedicated product or platform.

Always eager to take on new challenges and dive into the unknown! Looking for work that gets me "closer to the metal," compilers, frameworks.

Location: currently Canada, with roots and citizenship in the US

Remote: Preferred

Willing to relocate: Open to it, depending on location

Technologies:

- iOS: Objective-C, Swift, deep knowledge of UIKit and Foundation
- Android: Kotlin, Java
- also comfortable with JavaScript (Node), TypeScript (Node), Python, Ruby for backend stuff

I think you went to far down the rabbit hole, why are you so offended?

If all it takes for you to judge someone and hold such virulent opinions is "media appearances" you should probably reassess your position on who's regressive. These kind of comments have nothing to do here, feel free to rant on tweeter and reddit.
I cannot believe how much I love the term "bozo explosion". I see this situation all the time as a consultant, and now I have a fantastic term for it. Thanks for sharing!
This is not a false flag op.

Disclosure: I closely followed the forum where many of the high level discussions take place: lihkg.com (in Cantonese).

The protestors broke into the legislative council, partly in response to the no-response from the government after the large protests on 9 June, 12 June, and 16 June; and partly because of some recent desperate suicides towards no-response from the government (just two cases on 30 June, the day before 1 July).

There were lots of push back for breaking the windows even among the protestors, but eventually they did it just to enter the building. The protestors did not go further to break things: they left money for drinks in the fridge, and labeled artifacts for protection (in Cantonese [1]), so they remained civil except for breaking into the building.

They made a declaration [2] before they left and the police took over.

Because it is reasonable to assume that, if they would do that, their PR defense would include that. Since it does not, but does I close transfer, it is reasonable to conclude that transfer on demand is the most they will do.

I think there's a difference between saying that something sucks and saying that it should never exist. There are probably a lot of people who would agree that taxes "suck" but who would agree that people should pay at least some taxes.

As far as I know, it's pretty widely agreed upon that it sucks to be an intern or a first-year med student in field-training. I don't remember being two years old, but I do remember hating having to do what my parents said when I was a child. So I would say that power imbalances do in general, "suck" even if they're desirable in some cases. As such, I'd be sad to learn that there was no way for most people to work in a "flat" structure.
I was going to point out that 'speechless' is a quote, but it appears to be just a (translated) quote from the linked article, not from the scientists themselves. Still, it's at least quoting someone else's clickbait.
With a background in games and computer graphics, I've recently been working on developer tools, CAD software, data visualization, mobile and web development.

I've gotten to like building stuff with web technologies and have been specializing in building tools with three.js for a few years now (web-based CAD tool, 3D printer simulation/config app, hard drive usage visualization).

Most of my professional work has been with startups, building ambitious new software from the ground up. I've got a good eye for design (especially as it relates to learnability and efficiency of use), solid fundamentals, and can communicate well.

I'd be interested to see how you phrased it.
Wyoming has very low air density, which reduces the power generation potential. It also has a tiny population, limited transmission capacity, difficult terrain, and short building seasons.

That said, there are transmission system upgrades for Wyoming coming in 2020. Because of this PacifiCorp released an RFP for up to 1,270 MW of wind generation on this upgraded system and I believe it is already all spoken for.

That is a different point though.

Earth is habitable now. There are plenty of plausible non-anthropogenic disasters that may make that so not so. Some typical examples include megavolcano eruption, coronal mass ejection, and asteroid impact. It would be good to not have all of our eggs in one basket here on Earth.

And it's for exactly the same reason of having redundancy that it would be a good thing for Earth to continue to remain habitable, i.e. we should stop ruining the planet through climate change.

It's not a moral hazard at all; the two outlooks are congruous.
To me the absurd thing is that this site could probably just embed ads as if they were normal website elements and not hosted by some ad CDN with lots of Javascript. As long as the ads weren't terrible, I doubt visitors would go to the effort of manually blocking the elements.

But that fundamentally breaks the absolute fraud and house of cards of the entire web ad industry and make layers of ad people obsolete so it won't happen.

It feels a lot like cable companies: "Our model is absolute shit but we don't need to change, you do." It's why I'm completely unsympathetic to the pending death of the cable and ad industries. They both were in a Sears position to dominate whatever paradigms come next.
I don't understand the entire architecture behind search engines, but this seems like a pretty decent chunk of it.

What are the chances that Google is releasing this as a preemptive response to the likely impending antitrust action against them? It would allow the to respond to those allegations with something like, "all the technology we used to build a good search engine is out there. We can't help it if we're the most popular." (And they could say the same about most of their services: gmail, drive, etc.)

There is a free waze you can run in the car's web browser. It's https://teslawaze.azurewebsites.net. Go there in your car, give it permission to see your location and it shows busy roads, police, tolls, rain, etc. You can open this in a computer webbrowser to get a sense of it.

This is someone's private project. They use open street maps, plus multiple open data sets. It's awesome, favorite thing to use in my car.
I disagree - I have one with a quad core atom, 1GB of ram(!!!) And latest windows 10 1903 edition runs very nicely on it if you stick to the built-in apps. I usually have it next to my main PC as an additional monitor with the wireless projector functionality .
Yeah, this clearly counts as defamation in my opinion. It'd be difficult to prove damages, though, so it's unlikely to ever come to trial. Adding this as a category of per se defamation so that plaintiffs no longer need to prove economic harm from it seems like the natural solution to me.

I'm a very productive full stack developer working since the 90's.

During my career I mainly worked on frontend development, but also did DevOps, DBA and backend development.

I'm the perfect fit for any team that needs somebody who:

1. Choose the best tools and frameworks for a project.

2. Implements it or help a team to implement it following good practices and guidelines.

3. Solve difficult technical problems that any new or existing project has, quickly or within the day.

4. Knows almost all languages and frameworks and can quickly learn and adapt to anything new.

5. Delivers quality and readable code.

6. Works hard and is pragmatic.
This is based on the recently-discussed[1] (and recently-updated) guidelines from the Mozilla wiki[2].

Human navigation is cultural. Urban culture (for better or worse) tends to cut people off from physical reality. Spend a few days with a Cape York indigenous person and find out how amazingly good people can get at this.

I am afraid you are mistaken, the ambient temperature increase is meaningful[0] in this case up to a predicted 2 degree increase for Paris if they double the numbers of their ACs.

ACs are more than just fans – they are basically fridges for your room, and like every thermodynamic machine they produce more heat than they can cool. Only not in your room but outside.

AC means cooling your room while heating your city.

But you don't offer a right definition? "Police" isn't a definition of legitimate authority.
if their 'delete website' link is reachable anonymously and performs using a GET, they deserve the result.
The power utilisation of a refrigerator scales at best poorly with the quantity of food moved through it, unlike a smartphone (door openings is a far greater predictor), and human food consumption is generally constrained (1800-3200 kcal/day per person, more or less), whilst data appetites both vary and have grown markedly.

You do raise a good point that behind msny. products is a long chain of either embedded manufacturing or complementary products costs. But the avoidable costs of food vs. data (refrigerated or not, people need food to eat; we'd survived 200,000 years before iOS) argues against your comparison.
> What home user even realizes they can change the clock time any more?

Indeed. Even if you have the temerity to go and change the clock, the iPhone is secretly maintaining the true time internally and can use it or revert to it at will. I'm making a bold claim, so here are the steps to reproduce:

- Go to Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Set Automatically -> disable

- set an incorrect time

- Go to Settings -> {Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular} -> Off

- Go to Settings -> Airplane Mode -> enable

- go someplace without any wifi or change the wifi password on your access point or
disconnect/power-off your access point

- remove the SIM card from the iPhone

- Now go back to Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Set Automatically -> enable

- Surprise surprise! The date and time revert back to the correct value even though you have no possible network connection. How did it know the correct time?

Implementation thoughts: If the true time is 6:00pm and you change it to 9:00pm, the iPhone could calculate the offset as 3 hours and 0 minutes, and show you the time as 6:00pm + 3h = 9:00pm, but knows that the true time is really 6:00pm. The same effect could also be achieved by having two internal real time clocks (aka time of day clocks), one for the true time and one for the time you set.

My theory is that they'd prefer users not messing with the clock, but they provide a UI for setting your own time (such as for people who like setting their clocks 5 minutes ahead to never be late for meetings). However, they keep the true time for other purposes (perhaps for logging, syncing, or something else?).

> However, a famous failure like the tacoma narrows bridge collapse is less likely to be repeated in other fields.

But, if we're comparing failure modes, can you at least agree that there's a pretty significant difference between:

* The tacoma narrows bridge, where there entire bridge was totally destroyed narrowly avoiding loss of life, AND
* A bug in a video game that impacts the movement speed in a not-negative way for 90% of the players?

Like, if the strafe-bug was destroy millions of dollars in infrastructure and killing people I'd be on your side. But who cares if the 20th game has the same bug that doesn't affect most players in any way?

I agree it'd be better if games had no bugs, but if I had to choose between a game being 1% more fun, or a game not-having the strafe-bug I take the game that's 1% more fun every-time.

There's a nearly infinite set of tasks that sit in front of game-devs. The first thing you learn is that everything is an opportunity cost.

Yeah, but most of that was waiting around for oxygen-releasing life to evolve.

We could create an oxygen atmosphere on Mars much more quickly than that, because we'd be sending life explicitly for that purpose that's ready now, and we'd also be importing gases and digging up in-situ resources and turning them into gas.
