It's interesting to me to think, compared to our evolutionary history, schools are really really foreign and unnatural. Until relatively recently, the average kid would have grown up in a small community surrounded by her parents, relatives, and other adults. At toddler age she would play with other kids or find ways to amuse herself, later like 5, 6 and up, she'd start to help out with chores.

Whereas at a school kids are cooped up in a high pressure environment, with other kids who are all just as immature, and a few adults to supervise.

My parents homeschooled my brothers and I. I'm really torn as to whether I want to do the same for my kids some day. One the one hand, I feel like it was a good healthy environment to learn and grow up. On the other, I've always felt like I don't fit into society and sometimes am jealous of "normal" people.
They will just make the entire structure out of angle of attack sensors. It will be fine.
good on twitter. i wouldn't want these nutters on my platform either.
I'm confident that the threshold is not whether you can reconstruct anything. Because it's easy to have a system where each uploader provides only even or odd bytes and it's impossible to get anything but noise out of a single source.
So for instance, take a look at this study on the cost/benefit evaluation of patent extensions in the pharma industry:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3672218/

What they found is that the strategies used by drug companies to "evergreen" their patented drugs resulted in massive unnecessary expenditures with negligible differences in outcomes.

> Most homeschooled kids I've known have been very behind their schooled peers.

Behind? In what? We are homeschooling our daughter. For her age she's amazing with computers, english and painting/drawing(which is her passion), and also unlike her peers at school she learned to enjoy life long learning and has become autodidact as well. She never learned the usual things taught at school like: forcing other people what to do, bullying, all day on social media, hate to learn, etc, etc..
M43 cameras are still relevant as the depth of field blur in these phone cameras is faked, sometimes with odd results. An f/1.8 aperture on most camera sensors translates to something like an f/8 full frame equivalent (for comparison, f/1.8 on M43 looks like f/3.6 on full frame). It still lets the same amount of light in, but there's no shallow depth/blur.
Product of the system doesn't sound right as even before schooling was common, there were some people who would rise to the top of the success ladder and some who would fall down. It is a fact of life that everyone is different and those difference allow some to be successful and others not. In fact, incomes have held stagnant through the rise of post secondary school popularity, indicating that schooling does not provide success (of the monetary kind). Mathematically, incomes need to be rising if people are making more money through attaining increasing levels of scholastic achievement when compared to people who lack such achievement. In reality, people continue to fall into the same income segments that they always would have, with some rising to the top, and others falling down.

What is well understood at this point is that people who are born into the right circumstances (genetics, family wealth, avoidance of illness/handicaps, etc.) are able to be more successful in what they do, be it school or other ventures. This is why you see a correlation between those successful entrepreneurs and success in school. Even Steve Jobs was successful in school, despite going about it in a non-traditional way. People are not successful because of school, people do well in school because they are successful.

"This performs a wealth transfer from the poor to the middle class, when the middle class can buy partially subsidized panels but the poor can't, and then the panels "drop" the cost of power by raising it for everyone else, offering cheaper power to those who can afford it on the backs of those who cannot."
How Do Angel Investors Do Due Diligence?
Epstein cited his relationships with these schools (built through fundraising) repeatedly both to intimidate his victims into silence and convince authorities to let him go. This wasn't a case of him sending a check and walking away, he was extracting a lot of value for his predatory operation from these institutions.

We build a camera app. We considered freemium, but couldn’t find a way to lock features without compromising the intended experience.

It also acts as a bit of a filter, as people do research before paying for an app. We suspect that if we were free, we’d have to contend with more support requests for things like video recording, which isn’t the use case for the app.

>what are these displaced american workers doing for more than $80k?

Being unemployed and making 0k. Avoiding hiring US employees for over $80k doesn't mean they're hiring those who accept below $80k. They're not being considered for those jobs at all in the first place. I assure you there are legions of very smart lawyers who work very hard on the process for employers - I would know, I've prepared the petitions, and the sham job postings with intentionally obscure and unnecessary skill requirements placed in print newspapers when the H-1B worker was our client and already chosen for the job ahead of time. There is often no intention to consider American workers. There are entire IT departments at companies like Disney, for instance, that are de-facto off limits to American workers. H-1B workers are very attractive to employers not just for the low wages, but also for the fact that they're dependent on the particular company sponsoring them and will often stick around forever and endure the shitty wages, hours, and work environment.
Random Democracy: A Modest Proposal to Eliminate Politicians
I will agree that the current Liberal government really botched the messaging and rollout of this, but it's been immensely frustrating watching the opposition party go to down on it with bad-faith arguments and misinformation about how the tax is "costing Canadians".

And that doesn't even get into distractions like the provincial government in Ontario putting propaganda stickers on pumps and a tempest in a teapot about how sales tax is being charged after the carbon tax, and the sales tax is not also being rebated, therefore the whole thing is a giant fraud.
That's not really what happened at MIT. He got personal letters of thanks from the president and was invited to hang around the AI lab. The article gets into this at the bottom, about reputation laundering. Epstein gets to call himself a tech donor, hangs out in cool places, starts to look like a nice, respectable guy while he's still carrying out his freaky eugenics project.
I still maintain that asking for specific answers is a bad interview practice. It's a sign of a poor interviewer, not necessarily a bad candidate. It could be both in this case, but I'm talking about it at a more meta/higher level. IMO, it is objectively BAD interview practice being described here.
“Hello, I get paid tens of thousands of dollars per year to oversee DMCA reporting with innumerable false positives without reviewing whether or not short clips of content with commentary around it is fair use.”

I'm not sure you are being fair. I think any frequent user of regex understands how easy it is to produce expressions that are very difficult to parse.

I also think that a discussion about readability makes sense in a post about Bash. I don't personally program very often in Lua, Go or Ruby, but for the most part when I encounter code in these languages I don't find it very difficult to understand and modify. In contrast to this, every encounter with a significant amount of Bash seems to lead to a great deal of googling.

I’m not sure you’ve seen Netflix’s dwindling catalog, but they are very aware of this phenomenon and have been pivoting away from deep catalog to originals since at least 2012. I remember once a VP said in all hands, “our plan is to become HBO before HBO becomes us”
What matters more than the number of cameras is how/if the cameras are integrated. I don't much care that the local gas station has cameras tied to a 30-day DVR. I expect that. I don't expect them to be connected to facial-recognition AI, networked to the national police, and be feeding my movements into a citizenship score system that will impact my future job prospects.
It’s not an analogy at all, let alone a tortured one. Polluters are allowed to dump their trash on my (and everyone else’s) property without paying for it.

Now, if you object to it being called a subsidy, fine. (Although I’d like to know which step in my story stops qualifying as one.) But “a tortured analogy”? No way.
And in some others it doesn’t cost anything: I just have to pay a 300€ registration fee each semester here in Germany.
You answer your own question.

Making any kind of public statement doesn't matter if an organization takes money from a monster.

What kind of science is produced by this money? In the past few weeks we've seen the consequence of that -- many women were pushed out of the field, because the behavior that was enabled by accepting the money.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

To be completely honest, your comment makes me think you're the one who's mad... or at least not very sane; you're assuming a person is mad about something based on 1 whole sentence (a sentence people seem to agree with) and proceed to go on a rant in which you ask the same question 3 times!

This isn't anything new. Rust has had to land workarounds for lots of LLVM issues in its history. For example, Rust had to stop using noalias on function parameters because LLVM miscompiled too many functions with it, as Rust can use it way more than C/C++ do and therefore it didn't receive much upstream test coverage.

As usual this where Bloomberg acts as Solar is similar to NG. Solar and Wind are widely dependent on location. Your results of NG in Phoenix or Chicago are going to be more or less same - you cannot say that for Solar.

At the right places Solar is profitable - but at the grid interface level its not same as having NG. For all the solar panels that are visible and there are countless "invisible" massive diesel generator back-ups and an inefficiently used NG base-load generator somewhere.

Its very rare Solar-Wind get their baseload from hydro (its possible). But again, HN being HN .. Ye Ye Ye!

These headlines make people think some how ONG is replacable and all it takes moar and moar Solar and Wind, and there is nothing farther from truth.

Yeah paid ones are definitely worth it, there was one that was like $15 for lifetime access. If you want to download manually there's some forums with yearly subscriptions that aren't too bad too. I don't remember any names off the top of my head, it's been a few years (wow 10...) since I last used any of those. The best I can say is a lot of the sites have the word "NZB" attached to them since that's the Usenet rendition of a ".torrent" file sorta.
Where does the money go if not to the family? Inheritance already drives family to kill each other, even knowing they'd be prime suspects. Imagine what faceless, emotionless governments would do if they wanted a little extra cash.

The review by John Gruber of the Touch Bar based MacBook was critical of the feel of the keyboard - this was before the actual reliability problems came up.

He along with everyone else was critical of the first Apple Watch.

Seeing that he still not only gets review units every year, he gets the prime live interview every year after WWDC with top Apple executives, I don’t think he has been blacklisted.

Not to mention that Marco Arment is often critical of Apple and got a review unit of the Mac Mini last year.

He got things for that money though. Epstein got to visit the MIT campus, with women in tow. Students were forced to make him a replica of the Disobedience Prize orb. He specifically cited scientists and tech people to intimidate his victims and persuade the police to leave him alone.

You have to look at the other side of the relationship when someone donates. It's not just about taking the money, the person giving it is getting something in return and that's not always a good thing. In Epstein's case, it was tragic.
UK Renewable energy production is still subsidised by Contracts For Difference. What happens is the government says OK, for this power we're willing to pay extra. Bid for how much you want. Some offshore wind farm builder might say OK, pay us £65 per MWh in 2020. No better offers in that category (low risk zero carbon power)? OK. Every MWh you generate in 2020 the electricity grid pays whatever they'd pay for gas or coal or anything else, then, the difference between that and £65 per MWh is from the government. Maybe the grid pays £20 right now, subsidy is £45. But, maybe the wants every amp they're paying £95 right now, the government gets £30 back from the wind farm.

CFDs make investors comfortable. Wind farms are expensive, what if we take out a loan to build this expensive wind farm and only get £15 per MWh we'd go bankrupt. If the government promises £65 we're profitable so long as we build that wind farm. CFD bidding also drives down costs, if your rival will take £35 the government may not accept your bid.

If you stare into the abyss it stares into you. Here, Epstein didn’t just make anonymous donations. He bought access and legitimacy with his donations. Institutions taking his money gave him reputation credits in return. That, in turn, not only reduced his disincentive to engage in such behavior, but undoubtedly enabled him to abuse more woman than if he had been a social outcast.

Beyond that, at the end of the day, a non-exclusionary ecosystem is good for science in the long run. Science runs on human capital. If people like Epstein are treated as respected donors, instead of pariahs, that definitely created an exclusionary culture.
Maybe that's because the examples I gave and the original topic of discussion are related in that they deal with the theft of federal government property.
Community College B.A. shows early earnings edge - but then shrinks
In a C++ designated initialization, members may be omitted. (You were told wrong.)

There is probably no reason to enforce order unless unmentioned elements have a non-trivial destructor, so that could be relaxed in a future Standard. Members that need destruction would need to be destroyed in the opposite order; enforcing order allows reusing code already generated for the containing-object destructor, but in many interesting cases (e.g. C structs) there are no destructors to run anyway. In the others, there is no reason why it would need to re-use the class destructor.
These will be mostly Rivian pick up trucks. Kinda smart move. $700 million investment will help Amazon.
Do they really think being dishonest and manipulative won't backfire?

It's one thing to argue that we should consider unpriced externalities subsidies -- I'd even agree -- but it's quite another to use this alternative proposed definition/classifcation in order to intentionally cultivate a misrepresentation of the underlying facts.

People notice shit like this and don't take kindly to being misled.
But even the donations themselves are not black and white. He’s doing good things to one set of people to buy influence to do bad things to another set.

Maybe if we could be sure he couldn’t ever gain connections or influence through donations, but unfortunately we can’t.
This is an interesting comment from the YT video:
"great, now write an OpenVR driver for it so it works exactly like a knuckles controller without developer support for games and apps, and you'll instantly have funding. That's the one failing of these other products, not how good they are. None of these gloves get off the ground because they don't have native, plug and play openvr driver support for steam's hand pose system."
So Glassdoor is pay for prestige.
I'm sure this comment will go down in history like the Dropbox comment
Or it could be military R&D itself, using people in its own chain-of-command (who aren't in the right security compartment to be aware of the project's existence) as an unknowing QA group for determining whether e.g. the device is stealthy enough, or can fake an emissions signature well-enough, or etc., to fool these people.

As any such flaw would be fatal to the project, it's fine if the "QA group" publishes records of what they see—as whatever those vulnerabilities are, R&D will need to get rid of them before the project can be greenlit for operationalization.

In est, it'd be sort of an adversarial development system. If anyone would come up with something like that, it'd be a military strategist.

Autistic types or Asperger types whatever you want to call it ... take things very literally. They are visual-oriented and big-picture thinkers. This affects both men and women btw. Verbal thinking is not their strong suit. Body language reading is not their strong suit. Sarcasm and mean communication is not their strong suit. They are blunt and straightforward to a fault. Autistic types will be Autistic even in Rome.

This almost seems like Gallelio being house arrested because the feminist popes couldn't comprehend him.

If the average girl expects psychic powers of body language reading and reading the room before you utter a word ... that's just expecting men to behave like women. It's never going to happen.
