It seems like it would present a pathway to that sort of thing.

I found it interesting in that these ideas, like a literal 'proof of work', have been around for a long time before our recent crypto era.
I likely am, it was speculation on my part. Thank you for providing more concrete information, I should've noted that I was speculating.
Yes all results should get published. Peer review should only affect ranking/discoverability.
It's generally an issue that a person's definition carves out instances that are not useful to their desired narrative. A consistent definition is required when discussing the topic, and unfortunately the definition practically needs to accompany its use simply because so many disparate definitions are used.

I own two sculpt ergonomics. What I noticed is that the keys on the new one are not the same as the older one.

I think over time the keys on the older one have lost that feedback I have on the newer one. Have you also noticed this?

I, unfortunately, can't really blame the company for doing something that's legal. They're literally just doing what's best for the company's shareholders, and they'd be yelled at for doing anything otherwise.

JRuby doesn't support C extensions too https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/C-Extension-Alternatives

It's a parallel world in which developers either use pure Ruby gems or Java jars. For example, the database drivers are JDBC adapters straight from the Java world not the usual mysql2 or pg gems. Obviously the programs that use them are not portable unless there is a compatibility layer. In that example, ActiveRecord abstracts the drivers.

I don't know anything about Rust but maybe it could end up in the same way.

Those are all very real problems (and as you point out, they impact grant review as well). On the other hand, fully transparent peer review doesn't necessary address most of them. Reviewers who have to sign their reviews may be reluctant to anger colleagues (or try to curry favor with them).

As you presumably know a many journals have experimented with open peer review, but editors still need to police the reviews to look for bias. It solves some problems but creates others.

This article overlooks a critical difference between these two markets: AR is a much more complex and difficult software engineering problem than VR. The foundational spatial computing technology and infrastructure required to make non-trivial AR applications work well does not exist, and the level of expertise and effort to build it is very high. The article was written a few years ago but this is broadly recognized as a significant hurdle today by companies making serious investments in AR.

If a startup ultimately wins the AR race it will be because they cornered the market in spatial computing expertise and are extremely well-funded. There is already not enough of this core expertise for the existing big tech companies with AR programs to all build viable teams, which bids up the price of that expertise, never mind enough to go around for a dozen startups.

As a consequence, I expect AR to be something like a winner-take-all market relatively early on.
I suppose there are legal constructs that allow you to do this. For example, you could set up the UG mentioned above yourself and be its only employee with all the taxes and social security costs that implies.

However, that will get complicated rather quickly:

You’ll not only be that company’s sole employee you’ll also be its managing director. A managing director who owns a majority in the company usually is considered to be self-employed. A managing director also is responsible for filing annual accounts and tax statements. This is both expensive and time-consuming.

Another point to consider is that you’d effectively cover for employer’s share of the social security costs (unless they will be paying that on top of your salary, at which point they might just as well set up the UG themselves).

Not only is this a dodgy practice but you’ll also have pretty rough deal.

In any case, because this will get complicated you’d have to ask a lawyer who’s well-versed in both corporate law and social security law about the specifics.

It’d be much easier if they either were your client rather than your employer or if you were a co-founder.
If you're not asking rhetorically, all of the extra stuff is a delivery vehicle for Facebook/etc. tracking code.
Right, but this is about shared scooters without any of that.
Anonymous records and variants are convenient in a scripting language because you don't have to declare them. This in turn leads to anonymous record types and anonymous sum types, which require something beyond HM for type inference, and I wanted to avoid introducing row variables.

TopShell uses type constraints for this, and I've never implemented a type constraint solver before TopShell. There are also some extra things to do around checking explicit type annotations, when the user provides them.
Curse them for not wanting to pay extra money for no gain. How dare they act out of a rational self interest.

It's downright ridiculous to complain about companies taking perfectly legal steps to reduce their tax burden.

As the oft-quoted US judge Learned Hand said:

> Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes.
Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any
public duty to pay more than the law demands
> the website owners need either your consent or legitimate interest as defined in GDPR

Well the part companies doesn't seem to "get" is that this consent should be informed and voluntary, which means opt-in and not only available after 3 minutes of jumping through ridiculous hoops to opt out.
All open source state-of-art SLAM libraries fail on real-world data, often the same scene that was processed once successfully fails in another pass. The problem is with the computer vision algorithms themselves, the "classical" ones are super susceptible to per-scene constants tuning and randomization effect; the only hope IMO is Deep Learning at the moment, but that requires massive computational capability for real-time inference.
Plus, many ffts actually benefit from fewer points and less bandwidth - especially in voice applications, where much of the spectral content is under 4kHz.
It's interesting that you see the relationship as existing between the customer and the customer service rep.

I think the relationship is actually between the company, which abuses its customers, and the CSRs, which are hired as a meat shield.
Tax management as a strategy/puzzle game would honestly be a great time.
Correct.

Duties precede rights. In the African savannah of 50,000 years ago, our obligations to each other saved us from extinction. As hunter gatherers in tiny bands of ten people, we had to do everything as one. There was only “we”, no “I”, unless you were the leader. You either went with the group or died.

As far as I know this is an RRB vector.

Here's the original paper: https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/213452/files/rrbvector.pd...

A rust implementation: https://docs.rs/im/13.0.0/im/

C++ implementation: https://github.com/arximboldi/immer

The rust implemenation does a cool trick where the data is only copied when it is shared. If you are the sole owner of the data structure it will simply mutate it in place. So you don't lose any performance. But once you share it, it becomes an immutable functional data structure. See https://docs.rs/im/13.0.0/im/#in-place-mutation
There's also the fact that maybe you wouldn't take the high-ridership bus/train that the low-ridership bus connects you to, but instead just car directly to your destination, resulting in higher overall emissions.
Legal /=/ moral
well again, I grew up on GOF programming and once I grokked how mocks in Python worked, I was very glad to embrace their approach, which has allowed me to write much simpler code that is more thoroughly tested; I of course still use abstractions to a great degree, but I no longer have to build out an abstraction system when I just want to make sure some fairly straightforward code is fully tested. I no longer have to build out everything as an abstraction when such a system is generally YAGNI, I can use the Python standard library directly.

This allows me to do less work, write and maintain less code, and have better test coverage. It allows my code to be more fully tested even when it has not yet been abstracted, if that's what's in store for it. Patching local imports within the scope of two lines of code is a non-issue thanks to Python context managers. I have much more complicated examples of code that was already plenty complicated and mocks allowed me to get it tested quickly and effectively, instead of having to break it out into even more complexity.

Basically mocks have been all productivity and no downside for me whatsoever, using the Python standard library mock which is extremely well designed.
I can't read the article, but being rejected doesn't have to mean it's bad work.

My mom has helped many PhD students take their degree over the years, and in the process helped with their papers. Several have been rejected, some multiple times. Frequently it was down to presentation issues (the student had not explained the certain things clearly enough or similar), or there was disagreement about how strong conclusions one could draw from the results.

For example, recently a paper was rejected because the experimenters had forgotten or overlooked an important detail which meant they couldn't control for a certain variable. One of the reviewers picked this up, and rejected the paper because the findings could possibly be explained by this uncontrolled variable. So they had to resubmit with a weaker conclusion (this is when my mom got involved).

In this case the review process was harsh but fair. The experimenters had goofed, and the reviewer caught it.

Of course when doing ground breaking experiments, I guess the process might not be optimal. But the majority of scientists are not doing that.

One could argue that they have a moral obligation to their shareholders to minimize their tax burden.

I can't even imagine a moral obligation to pay excess taxes, that's simply not how taxes work.
No it's not. That's how change happens.

It's still perfectly legal to destroy the environment in many ways, it doesn't mean we can't complain about it.

If we don't talk about it, nothing happens.
The problem isn't with the corporations, the problem (if it exists at all!) may be with the legislation.

Complain about the law.

E: CogitoCogito is absolutely right, there are companies spending lots of money around the world to push these regulations. I just seriously doubt that Activision Blizzard is one of these.
Are we just going to ignore the fact that hydrogen cars exist now in California, they work, the fuel is affordable, and the efficiency is fine?

Hydrogen is useful as a solve for the energy storage problem in green energy. For example, excess solar energy can be stored as hydrogen fuel. Also this solves the "fuel quickly" problem for people who need to drive long distances.
I had a sci-fi-plot idea while swatting my nth mosquito on a camping trip last month.

What if we figured out how to repurpose mosquitos to deliver useful viruses instead of harmful ones? Just think about it: no more scheduling appointments for vaccines or flu shots, simply wait outside for 20 minutes in the summer, and before you know it you’re immunized against malaria, measles, etc.

Not being a biologist, I have no idea if this is a plausible scenario, but I hope that somebody investigates it! It might be a very cost-effective and democratic method of delivering care.

At the very least it’d make for a good black mirror episode :)
Thanks for the hint about Statusfeststellungsverfahren, I will research that. I had previously filled the questionaire from Finanzamt and they had accepted my status of "freiberuflich" w.r.t. software dev.

The possibility to use private insurance depends on having some minimum amount of income.

Also, I currently use the option to use public insurance (voluntarily) so that I can easily switch back to it once I become employed again in the future. Apparently, there is some risk of not being accepted by the public insurers after one had quit.
Blizzard makes the games, Activision avoids the taxes. Synergy!

>My own Python scripts are typically single-screen in length. And one-off stuff, where they either work or don't, basically. (...) Is this stuff really what developers of large-scale Python programs have to take into account?

Not the only way to go about it, but yes, the underlying concerns are absolutely stuff that developers of large-scale Python programs have to take into account.

At "single screen" length you can do anything you want. Really, anything goes -- and you could ever just stare at the code a lot to find all or almost all bugs.

At 1000s of lines or more (can get into 100s or 1M lines), and especially on growing and worked on code (that gets new features, refactors, etc) you need to follow other practices to ensure it all works.
Bed bugs are a thousand times worse!

I can easily protect myself against mosquitoes. It is much - much! - harder to get rid of bed bugs. The last time I had only one or two and it was a nightmare. I spare you the details, there are plenty of anecdotes out there. The net did not help at all. I was lucky to notice that one night when I accidentally had the blanket reversed - the part wehre the feet were, usually, was where my head was for that one night - I got bitten on the upper part of my body instead of the lower one. I immediately put the entire blanket including sheets into a plastic bag and threw it away. I had actually examined the sheet as well as the blanket very carefully and had found nothing. No idea where exactly those tiny critters were hiding, but afterwards I had no more bites. Seriously, with bed bugs you have to take extreme measures. In comparison, all you need against mosquitoes is a net! I learned to like mosquitoes now, given that nightmarish alternative experience with bed bugs. Mosquito bites are much more "friendly" and easier to live with too!

In countries that have a tax agreement with Germany (e.g. Canada), the Reverse Charge procedure is used; you signalise that on your invoice. In that case, the customer is obligated to pay the VAT in their country and you bill the net amount. However, that depends on the service/product sold. If you re-sell development services, for example, you still have to pay VAT in Germany on a part of the amount billed while the rest is covered by Reverse Charge.
For everyone complaining about peer review, another alternative to open review is paid reviewers who focus on a particular topic. For example, I'm an editor at a journal where statistical reviewers are paid and evaluated, while the remaining (content) reviewers are not. This ensures that we have a rigorous review of the statistical methods, at least. I do think payment increases the reviewers' responsibility and conscientiousness, and the overall quality of the subsequent articles. (nb This probably has been tested somewhere.)

BUT - paid reviews are not feasible for many journals, especially open access/low-cost journals where margins may be thin. (Conversely, Elsevier should be able to pay their reviewers in gold bullion, rather than taking advantage of the scientific community's altruism, but that's another conversation).
- typos

- not mentioning highschool graduation year (But I suppose this could be hidden in the bottom)

Both these things, I've seen and heard HR employess toss CVs over in real life as well as from people talking online.

But I guess, I migh've been too biased in what I'm saying. since I'm european so there a different standards for resumes.

I've had an argument this week with the head of HR, because an employee threw the cv of a work student which had a Lüke ( a hole) in his resume. I guess I was overprojecting, which made my message too overexagerated. sorry.
That would be a business or contractual obligation. There is nothing personal about that relationship.

unless the idea is that any written tax rate is moral if it comes from the government, which also means any legal means to mitigate the tax rate is also moral because it comes from the government

”Right now every company creates it's own mess of html which is no fun scraping to figure out if the company is compliant or not.”

I fail to understand how anybody could scrape a web site to figure out whether it is compliant with the GDPR. For example, if I claim my site encrypts your data at rest, how do you verify it by scraping the site? If I say I don’t share your data with third parties, how do you verify it by scraping the site? If I say I throw away the encryption key when you delete your account, how do you verify it by scraping the site? if I say that, after deleting your account, all data is gone after at most 30 days, how do you verify it by scraping the site?
The source you cited at [0] is incomplete. They analysed it and found only the part with violent verses (so-called Medinan ones), not the part which resembles Biblical passages.

> every authentic hadith transmission chain must go back to the time of the Prophet [Muhammad Abdullah]

The thing is, we cannot prove his real identity (e.g. Mecca, where he had been allegedly born, has no historic traces apart from Kaaba), and some of the members, hence not a real chain up till 9th century. That was what I meant there were no hadith chain going before. You cannot cite a narration chain to an imaginary hero and call it authentic.

> Anything a hadith says is valid by virtue of us being told to follow the instructions of [Muhammad] in the Qur'an.

Hanafi and Jafari sects would not arise if that were the commonly held belief. The verse exists, but it does not automatically mean all hadith are as valid as they were in Quran. See where stoning penalty applies, reckon that thing is documented in hadith but thrown away from Quran. Hence we conclude stoning penalty does not exist. (according to Islamic precedence, Quran always prevails Sunnah)
