If you put a sentence like this in such an article you beg to be bashed on your ethics:

"Given their exceptional abilities, one might ask whether humans should be eating octopus at all, but here we want to raise a different ethical question."

So we can eat stupid animals, but not the more intelligent ones, right? That's absolutely logically and ethically bonkers to just write this down as if it were a common piece of shared knowledge and give it for granted.

Fundamentally much of what you think in this way is the direct product of propaganda from your own state. It would behoove you to investigate your own preconceptions and realise where you first got them.

I don't disagree about the name that should be used, as I said. I just think calling it colonial needs a little more context for people who would not unreasonably assume it's something more similar to Western colonialism of India or something.

On that note, "India"/Hindustan/Hindu/etc. are somewhat similarly colonial-rooted names, ironically popularized by the Iranians.
"What is real?" by Adam Becker. It doesn't touch much on general relativity if you are interested specifically in that, but it's a great read and gives you a bit of perspective how "modern" science works (I mean before the Internet, and back when we were actually moving forward..)

> Perhaps it's because matters can get quite political and subjective at that level.

Much more than I would have thought.

Yeah, thought about the same. Many software jobs are just bullshit. They pay super well, but the sense is nowhere there.

I'm super curious what will be the answers.

Let's say:

<impact> = <number of people> * <size of change in their life>

Now, sometimes it's easiest to work on local scale, especially as this often gives you instant and materialized feedback. I would search for some kind of foundation or open source community. They often have massive outreach.

Personally, I found that technology people (like Silicon Valley or investors) have technology fixation, e.g. they believe (like in god) that technology will solve all problems. The most real, broad problems in the world need a political will to make a change. In this context the question is: can you influence the politics to be good?

Twitter confesses to more adtech leaks
Intention matters if you want to know the reason behind the technical details, and whether a similar incident is likely to happen again in the future.

In this case, Nokia likely won't reintroduce an obfuscated version of the leak to evade detection, because it wasn't intentional. On the other hand, it's certainly possible they'll configure a phone for the wrong carrier again, since the configuration process apparently involves passing a bunch of carrier-specific feature flags at build time.
But the trouble with focusing effort on tools that can serve our current programs is that it guarantees that we are locked into our current programming models instead of exploring new design spaces.

Have you considered that, rather that having some kind of sinister intent, other people simply have a different opinion on whether a particular idea is new or just a reworking, whether a previous idea is applicable to a current context, etc, etc?

To go way back up to your original post I kind of agree with you on subjectivity but I really don't see how you're then arguing that your framework demonstrates that Rawls etc have been 'debunked'.
Most of this I’ve noticed with startups. I guess it’s the “move fast and break things” they all talk about (even when “things” include the law).

Sounds like a problem of where you live(d) rather than intrinsic to cars or lack thereof.

I have 2 kids and live in Berlin and never had nor needed a car. I previously lived for 8 years in Vienna and the same holds true there.

The same will be true to most or all decently-sized western European cities.

Well they claim it is a HoTT (thus presumably univalent) and furthermore has higher inductive types, neither of which exist in Coq's CIC.

For example, they emphasise that function extensionality is a theorem here: https://arend-lang.github.io/about/arend-features (not true in CIC).

It would just be nice to see a list of the rules.

Still I don't want to get hung up on this; the rules must exist somewhere and presumably will become more discoverable. The project looks superb.
I would not use the word rampage. Taking a neutral stance on the current matter in Hong Kong, you can see the use of extreme force catapulting bricks and rocks at the law enforcement officer and is more clear cut. The Lazer Pointer incident highlights the grey area with actual weapons to cause harm and the intention of modification of objects as weapons to cause harm. Lazer pointers with the wattage 1-5w can damage your eyes with a 10sec exposure. However, it does not take a lot of skill to upgrade the Lazer emitter with soldering electronics to increase output higher to cause harm easier and longer distances. The Police didn’t make that aspect clear. In addition reasonable use would have a person purchase one but purchasing 10 seems to fall out of ordinary use.
"How true" of course depends on the faith of the one who discusses it -- the faiths are exactly made based on the different "stories" about the same topics, which the believers have to believe. It appears to me that the relevant research behind "1906 Jewish Encyclopedia":

http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/11305-names-of-go...

is good and that it gives the sources to its claims. I'm not aware that the later scholars refuted the relevant points for this topic:

"At least as early as the third century B.C. the name seems to have been regarded by the Jews as a "nomen ineffabile," on the basis of a somewhat extreme interpretation of Ex. xx. 7 and Lev. xxiv. 11 (see Philo, "De Vita Mosis," iii. 519, 529). Written only in consonants, the true pronunciation was forgotten by them. The Septuagint, and after it the New Testament, invariably render δκύριος ("the Lord")."

Note: the Septuagint, the translation of the Hebrew bible to Greek is effectively what was since the development of Christianity called by the Christians "the Old Testament" and the Christian bible textual analysis proves that the authors of the New Testament almost exclusively used only the Greek translation and also wrote the New Testament as Greek native speakers in Greek, having even misunderstandings from interpreting the Greek words differently than the original Hebrew, even if Hebrew could also be misinterpreted during reading, but not in the same way. Anyway, that's how other languages got the "Lord" and equivalents in their translations from what was originally written: from the Septuagint and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BA%CF%8D%CF%81%CE%B9%CE%B... (note the difference from the 1906 Jewish quote).

Anyway, there is also the article about Jehovah, "mispronunciation (introduced by Christian theologians, but almost entirely disregarded by the Jews) of the Hebrew "Yhwh"":

http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/8568-jehovah

And this is where the faith of these involved in the discussion can influence their interpretation even more.

Still I believe this statement is true:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragrammaton#Yahweh

"Gesenius's proposal to read YHWH as יַהְוֶה is accepted as the best scholarly reconstructed vocalised Hebrew spelling of the Tetragrammaton" (i.e. transliterated into English as Yahweh)"
In addition to my full-time job, I write articles for a few different publications. I recommend this as a strategy for you for a few reasons:

1. Getting your name out there can lead to more contracts or better jobs

2. Its a great way to develop your skills in areas tangential to your expertise

3. There are lots of great publications in Europe, Smashing Magazine comes to mind.

4. Based on your paragraph above, your written English is more than sufficient for technical writing.

Note that the per-article pay is not great (using Smashing Magazine again as an example, they pay 200 USD per article), but I think writing is a great way to earn a little extra cash right now while building a portfolio that can get you better opportunities.

One thing which was not immediately obvious to me for a while: the stricter your language’s formatting is, the easier it will be to grep source code.

I work a lot with Go, where all code in our repository is gofmt'ed. You can get quite far with regular expressions for finding/analyzing Go code.

(And when regexps don’t cut it anymore, Go has excellent infrastructure for working with it programmatically. http://golang.org/s/types-tutorial is a great introduction!)

> If octopuses of some species can be kept together in moderate numbers and in larger enclosures with significant enrichment, this might mitigate some, though not all, of the welfare problems.

"Octopuses must be smart as chimps so they must be treated the same".

Wrong, they are solitary animals. All of the species fished. They tolerate other sexes only in reproduction and females could ignore other females (nesting at a safe distance) when taking care of its own nest.

From a young octopus to be in the same enclosure as another octopus mean only two things: dinner or imminent and stressful risk of death. To suggest that this would put more emotion in its sad lifes is like suggesting to improve the life of a zebra putting a lion in the same enclosure to play.

> Such efforts are occurring despite the fact that octopus farming has the same environmental consequences as other types of carnivorous aquaculture.

Consequences that include for example more small fishes using the area as nursery and sanctuary because there are not trawls anymore in the area. Or most ship noise and human activity concentrated now in a single point of the coast. The author suggests that all consequences are bad for biodiversity but this is false. Some are bad and other positive. Biodiversity around tuna enclosures is surprisingly high for example.

> And, like other carnivorous aquaculture, octopus farming would increase, not alleviate, pressure on wild aquatic animals

Same product. Indistinguisable taste. Two different prices. What the people will buy?

Pressure will increase in the same way as having a cheap alternative of phone will made everybody buy only the model of my-phone encrusted with diamonds. Why to eat cheap and available sheep meat all the year, when you could sell your house and eat wild himalayan blue sheep meat (only in november) instead?

A flashlight depending on type and size can be deemed as weapon. If it is a small pocket size naturally that would not immediately categorised as a weapon. However, if the flashlight sized object is a lazer pointer then it possibly can be categorised as being a weapon not physical but a distanced weapon of harm. It depends on the output of the Lazer if it is within safety parameters and also the users intended use. If the user is a lecturer or consultant then it fails within reasonable use. I think the legal considerations law enforcement and legal professionals have to deal with is more complex.

If you have a computer science/programming background, don’t worry too much about the skills you listed— they’re not ultimately that different than what you’ve already learned and you can pick them up as needed.

The game design skills are probably what you should be focusing on first: as far as I know, nobody knows how to teach them and the only way to learn is to make (bad) games yourself. Come up with a small idea, make a prototype, and play it. Ask yourself which parts are fun and which parts aren’t; make an adjustment and try again, or start over with a different game idea.

As you go through this process, you’ll necessarily need to acquire some technical skills, but they’ll each be in support of a specific outcome. More importantly, you’ll start to understand how your decisions at the design/programming stage affect the players’ experience.

If Elsevier is so terrible, and everybody hates them, how is it possible that it's so hard to move away from them? Their entire business depends on the people who hate them: the scientists who submit their articles to them and the universities who subscribe to the journals.

If everybody agrees Elsevier is terrible, you'd think it should be easy to set up a competitor that does it better, but someone everybody still wants to get published in Elsevier's journals, and everybody still wants to read what's in them. If everybody were to just stop, Elsevier would be out of business within a month.
I was stuck in exactly this situation with my father last year going from UK to Portugal via Heathrow. Hundreds of people past immigration counters joined the lines to get back into the country, stuck in there for about 5 hours in an extremely congested, slow moving crowd. Some of the younger people were so outraged they took to Twitter and Instagram and began a campaign to refund and sue. About 3 hours in, BA decided it might be prudent to provide water bottles and a pack of biscuits to their customers. It was a pretty grueling experience TBH.

An exact repeat of this situation makes it seem like such failures are becoming routine for BA.
In general I think that's very good advice. In this particular instance however a dumb old grep might be superior because it could catch potential security vulnerabilities that are not explicitly hardcoded in the source code by greping through the compilation artifacts for instance. Sure you'll get a bunch of false positives that way but at least you know that nothing is slipping through the cracks.
It's quite likely there's not enough capacity to move this many passengers over.
Russian students teach artificial intelligence to create colorful presentations
Students of Tyumen State University has developed a web service “Presentex”, which allows you to convert text documents into multimedia presentations.

The web service automatically selects the main thoughts from the text, searches for pictures and transfers abstracts and pictures to the finished presentation template. Users only need to copy the desired text to the service and download the finished presentation. There are no analogues in open Internet access.

You can test the service at http://presentex.tech.
The project is implemented with the support of the Business Accelerator of Tyumen State University.

Some sensitive areas have had good results with requiring tourists to dive with licensed local guides. But 45m is a little deeper than most recreational divers can safely go. To do it safely and get a reasonable bottom time takes some basic technical dive training plus double tanks with normoxic trimix, and a decompression stage. (I know many divers have gone deeper using a single tank with compressed air but if anything goes wrong it can turn deadly in seconds.)
