I disagree. Calling it “absurd” is synonymous with calling it illogical when in fact it is extremely logical for Boris to use keywords to bury hits in search results.

IMHO it is a smart way to game the system to his advantage.

I haven't had experience with PCI but yes with FPGA, even though at a hobby level.

Learning digital design was extremely rewarding for me and I absolutely recommend it.

The main reason for FPGA is that you use A LOT of parallel communication so even though the clock speed of the FPGA might be 200MHz, multiply that for 16, 32 or more lines and you get GBit speeds.

You can get affordable FPGA boards for learning with Lattice iCE40 family. When you jump into Altera or Xilinx things change a little, but you can still get a VERY decent development board from Terasic for a little over $100.

For learning I personally recommend the book "Digital Design and Computer Architecture" by Harris & Harris

Even if you don't become a full FPGA pro, knowing your computer down to a logic gate level brings huge advantages to how you see it, interact with it and write software for it!

Seriously? That's no harsher language than calling someone a dick. Do you have to keep an ultra-clinical PR image for some reason or are we really that puritanical?
The extradition treaty subjecting people to some mainland laws is a step in that direction.
The very notion that people want free government and self-determination is a bad thing is why you're being downvoted on an American forum. There is not a lot of support for oppressive governments that commit genocide against religious minorities and put people in prison for political dissidence.

You may be playing devil's advocate for the "party" but it comes too close to sounding like you're defending them.
I’m assuming your inquests are about a US civil war between a controlling minority and a resisting majority?

The more interesting scenario to consider, IMHO, is a civil war between a controlling but “not the US” majority, and a resisting minority. For example: what would happen if there were a modern Red Scare, but one with a basis in reality—i.e., if somehow >50% of the US (including our political leaders) were subverted by China, became believers not just in Communism but in the CCP’s propaganda about Communism necessitating political unification and erasure of separate cultural identity, and so the belief that the US should volunteer to be annexed+absorbed by China?

If the majority of the US believed that... what should the rest of us do, at that point, to stop this from happening? Is the correct answer just “the US is a democratic nation, so if the majority of the population wants the US to stop being a democracy, that’s the ‘democratic choice’, and if you believe in the ‘power of democracy’, you should support it”?
Depends on the circumstances, probably. 100 million armed people is nothing to ignore. I would also assume that the enforcement would be via the police, not the military.
Yes and No. Would many small militias "win". Of course not. Would they cause nearly endless pain and chaos for decades? Most certainly. Some of them would also be members of the standing military and embedded in every level of government. Even the most malevolent narcissistic sociopath dictators don't want such a high maintenance and unstable situation.
The Square Canada corporation may still be directly prosecuted for violating the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act. It is designed to prevent the United States from interfering with Canadian business.

That Square Canada has a parent corporation is immaterial. Seize assets from the Canadian company to pay the $1.5 million fine for violating the act.

If this is unacceptable, then Square Canada is no longer a legitimate business and Square can't have a legally operating subsidiary in Canada.
> ... assault rifles (which arguably they shouldn't be able to purchase anyway) ...

Assault rifles are select fire, that is capable of automatic fire. These are legal to own/transfer provided they have been previously registered with the ATF and made before 1986. They also tend to be quite expensive, tens of thousands of dollars, and the process to get one is rather lengthy, usually the better part of a year. This is primarily governed by the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968, and the Firearms Protection Act of 1986.

You may be confusing the phrase "assault rifle" with "assault weapon" which is often used in politics and media. Assault weapons are semi-automatic, but what is and is not an assault weapon tends to come down to jurisdiction and a combination of features (pistol grip, stock configuration, etc). Regardless, these are much more readily available and considerably cheaper.

Laws governing firearms in the US are actually quite complicated, and the terminology is also pretty verbose. Hopefully this helps.
Even the rich can donate to the college and have a good chance of getting their kids in. The problem in the admissions scandal was simply that the money wasn't going to the college (which would nominally benefit the whole student body); instead it went into the pocket of an individual.

A Data Visualization Technique That Can Lead to Better Decisions
Yeah this whole article seemed a bit too keen on overcorrecting. Most of the people I've seen complaining about not reading enough anymore aren't comparing their current reading habits to an imagined history, it's their observations of how their own habits have changed over time. It's personal experience.

Now part of that might just be that 10 years ago we had fewer stresses and responsibilities so this is more of an age cohort thing, but I don't think so. I read and hear the same concern from people in their 30s (who were in their early 20s when smartphones happened) to people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. The always online, notifications pinging in your pocket all day world seems to be the common denominator.
He had a gig where he could come early, leave early, and work remotely instead of taking vacation. With the potential for life-changing money. He left because they made him follow the same rules as everyone else. He thought oddball office space management was worthy of hundreds and hundreds of words in an essay. He said more about himself in this piece than I dare say he meant to.

That said, the short stories might have worked in an unreliable-narrator way.
Statistical machine learning is one of the fields where diversity really does matter. A CPU from Silicon Valley works just as well in Africa. But models trained in the West and with hyperparameters tweaked by western people will contain all kinds of biases that make it dangerous even in the west and downright lunatic in a very different culture.
You seem to be saying because it wouldn't work - why would we allow it? It's your right to defend yourself. Whether it works or not has nothing to do with it.
> Example, I think it is terribly misguided to think people care / read cookie banners and they're not helping / educating anyone.

My understanding still is that cookie banners are a huge waste of time.

The GDPR doesn't say: "If you post an obnoxious banner on your site you are allowed to continue as before".

AFAIK, and no one here has proven me wrong so far it says something like:

- there needs to be a clear reason for why the customers data should stay with you or your partners

- except for health care, jail etc there needs to be clear voluntary opt in

They are already fining companies and I guess the reason not everyone is feeling it yet is because the wheels of justice grinds slowly.

Edit: that said, I see why it might look different as some companies are quite brazen in their noncompliance.
I would hope, since our military hasn't been conditioned from birth to believe they're serving a living god, that there would be heavy resistance from within the military itself if such a thing were attempted.
This wouldn't be expected behaviour in the UK. Our riot police carry shields, not guns.
Yes, it would matter. If you don't want to raze your own cities an armed and hostile restiance even in the thousands of people is a massive thorn in your side. If the resistance reaches millions of people you basically don't have control at all. The country is just in a state of heavy war that point

Hey all, I'm currently a Computer Science Student at the University of Toronto and I'm looking for a Summer 2020 internship.

I've been working full-time for the past 3 years and I'm currently pursuing a second degree with my first being in Business. I decided to go back to school in order to fill my skills gap and I'm looking for a role that'll let me further stretch my academic and practical skills. I've put together software for major corporations while working in the client/service industry and I am open to roles outside of this as well. My experience has allowed me to pick up multiple technologies and allowed me to learn what I like and don't like - so feel free to reach out and discuss. I'm also a keen learner and I can pick up technologies very quickly so if you have something outside of what I know I'm excited to take on the challenge to learn it and expand my skills.

> if the US President went in to full dictator mode and had the support of the military, do you really think a militia of armed citizens would be anything but gnats against the windshield of the United States Armed Forces?

You don't really need militias. If a majority of the people oppose the dictator and the military man are from these families then your coup is going to fail. That's why dictatorships with strong oppositions try to lure a portion of their population against another portion or hire an army from another country.

In a nutshell, the current US army is not going to attack their fellow citizens anytime soon for the eyes of a dictator.
Possibly. A geomagnetic storm in 1989 wiped out power to Quebec and subsequent improvements were made to prevent another mass outage [0], but that was a relatively small solar flare compared to those in the past, which sparked fires and blew fuses. A storm that can cause arcing like that most certainly result in a lot of damage even on a modern grid.

In 2003 October, a stronger storm than 1989's hit the Earth, resulting in a lot less power outages (presumably the grid was protected better than the past), but resulted in damages to many orbiting satellites. [1]

It's safe to assume that thanks to GOES, SOHO, and other observation and forecasting systems, we'll have enough time to respond to an incoming CME, which would probably result in preemptive blackouts to isolate and reduce the effective capture area of the grid to reduce currents upon impact, but little can be done to protect satellites in orbit, which would be the biggest impact to civilization should a large portion of satellites fail.

Guns aren't for taking the military on head first. Guns are for assassinating your neighborhood cop and his entire family for supporting the dictator. The dictator requires lots of small time local support, which is much softer targets. Without it, the dictator can't dictate.
> everyone has their own subjective feelings and experiences and biases. You have to put them aside to have a useful discussion.

You don't have to "put them aside." You have to incorporate them into the reasoning. It's true that some people are petulant and try to end discussion with the "you can't know what it's like" meme, sometimes it's really just what it looks like: a plea to try and understand what it's like to be me, instead of the caricature of me I see being constructed.

This is the most often overlook aspect. Yes, the government might even lob a few nukes at its own territory of push came to shove, but that would only increase the defections.

A US civil war would be incredibly messy, but it would not be easy to predict any sort of outcome. Everyone would interpret for themselves what "sworn to the constitution" meant for them and pick a side. There would certainly be more than 2 sides too, given how different the 50 states are.

Creator here. I just released a tool to design a culture fit / behavioral interview in a snap. Just select the core values and competencies you want to focus on, and the application suggests an optimal set of questions.

Some questions read on multiple values/competencies, so it prioritizes these questions to get better coverage.

The questions were hand tagged. Over time, we’re using data collected from our application platform to learn question efficacy.

If there’s enough interest, I’ll add the ability to search, submit, tag, and rate questions to this tool.
