> "What was interesting during the Wave was that the very bright kids were excluded and martialed out of the classroom by guards early on. That left the middle group, who then felt empowered. That's probably what's happening today in the United States. People who felt left out suddenly are in control, and it feels good.

The topic of resistance to mass totalitarian movements is more relevant now than ever before. The article, like history, unfortunately paints a very bleak picture for the prospects.

In the classroom study, as in historical episodes, the deck was stacked against resisters from the start. They got the same reward for going along as successfully revolting:

> ... "He [the teacher] told us, 'If you're an active participant, I'll give you an A; if you just go along with it, I'll give you a C; if you try a revolution, I'll give you an F, but if your revolution succeeds, I'll give you an A.'

In other words, resistance requires values that transcend immediate rewards and punishments. The path of greatest reward/effort lies in going along to get along, and most people will take it without thinking too much.

Beyond that, successful revolutionaries need a great deal of skill to avoid detection. The unskilled "bright" students were caught and banished early, and I don't doubt that those doing the banishing felt very good about that.

Only two students mounted a noteworthy resistance effort:

> Out of all the students, only two actively resisted -- sophomores Alyssa Hess and Sherry Tousley. On the final day, Hess stood up in class and urged her classmates not to attend the rally. Tousley resisted from the start. Tousley was one of Jones' top students who had been banished from class early on for questioning the movement's purpose. She anonymously launched an anti-Wave resistance group, "The Breakers." In the documentary "Lesson Plan," she said her father drove her to Cubberley before school hours so she could hang anti-Wave posters up high in the halls so students couldn't tear them down. Until the making of the documentary 40 years later, not a single person -- except her father -- knew Tousley was the sole person behind the resistance group.

Hess's stand at the end of class, although brave, had little effect. Worse, it couldn't be repeated. This is unfortunately the fate of most resisters because it takes a lot of skill to mess with the steamroller and survive.

Tousley's effort was much more interesting in that she was able to work on a recurring basis in a way that avoided detection.
Describing it as parents "complaining" about homework trivializes our role as the ultimate arbiters of our kids' best interests.

Evidence is sparse that anything works in education, once you control for social and personal characteristics of the parents.
I've been using LineageOS on my phones for a couple of years now, recently reinstalled and made the decision to not install the Play Store... and am totally happy with it!

I get most of my stuff from F-Droid and some software vendors provide APKs straight from their websites and whatever is Play Store exclusive, I simply don't use.

It was going really well, at least until recently, when here in Germany they started introducing mandatory apps for online banking, available (of course) only on Play Store or App Store.

I wouldn't even mind everyone's app-obsession if they'd at least always provide a store-free APK as well.
> means that the people who are still employed are paying for them to do nothing.

That's literally the point. The cost to society of having a large, disgruntled, restless, unemployed population is high. If this population decides to revolt, the cost could be catastrophically high.

The goal is to pay this population less than the total dollar value of the expected damage, but still enough to stave off the most expensive / disasterous outcomes.

If you prefer, employable people like living in a world where they're employable. If the unemployable decide to revolt, that world could be threatened. It may hurt your sensibilities, but paying them to do nothing could still be the least expensive option.
We share a kitchenette at work with another company. They had a Keurig with a LCD display on it that didn't look like it did much of anything. A few months ago they replaced it with a newer model, and this one just has buttons.

I don't know if that's people getting some design sense and not using screens where they don't need to, or just happenstance. But it seemed relevant.
Two-phase lookup requires this to be interpreted at template parse time as two comparisons and a comma operator, because a, b and c are dependent names (which, without further disambiguation with the typename or template keyword, are taken to be variables). This has been the case since the first ISO C++ standard (published in 1998).
Fwiw I think all of math has something useful to say about the real world, it's just that some of it takes decades or more for us to figure out what that is.

Like, the E8 Lie Group probably contains the secret to manmade wormholes, faster-than-light travel, and manipulating higher dimensional space, but we won't know it for hundreds of years. (or at least until we invent AGI). Something like that.
their installer downloaded the game into shared storage. They should at least have known that access to shared storage is not sandboxed and should have been verifying what they are about to install instead of trusting no other app would maliciously place an apk where their installer did expect it to be... ideally they would never have used shared storage at all... that said, the sandboxing and permission system worked as expected.
We’re thinking of doing a kickstarter to fund making it into an actual product if there’s enough interest.

But I’d love to chat more about what you’d be interested in building! I’ll follow up with you.
Demography is rightly placed first. Youth is short and life is long, therefore the political and economic implications of an ageing population are huge. In Australia for example, the biggest ticket item for government spending is ‘assistance to the aged’, $70 billion out of a total budget of $500 billion. This is distinct from the money spent on health, which is also heavily skewed towards the elderly. I am not making a value judgement on government spending, but the numbers suggest we will be locked in a cycle where spending on the elderly will continue to be a dominant factor in government spending for the next 30 years.

What will be interesting to see is how the governments keep finding the money.
The point being it isn't fundamentally different from going to your supervisor. In both cases you're going to get judged on your decision.
I used to think that statistics was “dirty” math in college, but now it’s my favorite. It’s so easy to ask interesting off the cuff questions. And when you actually have the tools to begin to work on these questions, it becomes exhilirating!
Perfect advice for “new developer”
I've completely changed careers before when the jobs dried up. I'm completely confident in my ability to do so again.

Specialization is for insects.
Osprey is more of a true biaxial helicopter first, and a convertoplane second.

V22 have 2 lateral DOF in which it can move without moving COM relative to point of aerodynamic force, and without changing its aerodynamic cross-section, so you don't get positive feedback to change of orientation in wind gusts.

This thing cannot do that as far as a glancing look can tell.

I am not an aeronautic engineer, just a motoglider pilot wannabe. If it looks borderline silly to even a man like me, it's scary to imagine what wool they must have pulled over for their mentors and industry advisers to go with that.
That 3 series depreciated that much, because they came out with the new model this year.
...there need to be more developers like these!

I'm not sure, but aren't Play Store submittals APKs anyways? Is additionally self-hosting them that much more complicated?

I've heard that developers often go Play Store exclusive, for fear that Google might block them. Is that true?
The suprising part is that they apparently didn't spend any class time talking it over after it happened?
No longer offered. It screwed up Tesla’s accounting, but was necessary because at one point Tesla couldn’t offer leasing. So they passed the risk of Tesla bankruptcy onto the customer.

The bright side of any community and even tribe is that if you happen to be the member of the community/tribe that “wins” at stuff (either through war, genocide, economic and cultural colonialism etc) then you’re going to have a more happy life compared to the isolated individual who isn’t part of any community/tribe and who doesn’t get to share the spoils. Of course, if you happen to be part of a “losing” community/tribe then things won’t be so bright for you, but in the end nobody cares about the “losers” (there are exceptions).
By broken, I don't mean incorrect, just poorly implemented and there for exploitable. This is true of libraries in the wild.

File format is typically binary or blob. It's encrypted so you can't see or understand it's structure, only assume.
This is bad advice.

I suggest that the first job you take be the one with the highest learning potential, not the highest earning potential.

The only reason anyone works under another in this modern system is for money. Anyone who claims otherwise is stupid or lying. I'm forced to consider the motivation for giving this advice to new blood looking for employment and it's obvious.

I work alone and I've learned a great deal with only books; note I mean work and not employment, here. Building empathy in the context of employment is only useful for promotions or continuing employment and I disagree with this notion that every programmer must, for some reason, become more empathetic, usually meaning capitulating to certain others, as if all programmers are lacking empathy.

As for your advice to join an online community, it's not bad on its face, but the particulars could be improved, I think. An IRC channel is a good choice; Reddit or Hacker News aren't; those two, in particular, are only useful for self-promotion, as they mostly discuss things happening elsewhere and only even that briefly; conversations don't last months or years in these places; they're unsuited to discussions not based around self-promotion, for the most part; the goal is to have one's link on the front index or collect Internet points, generally. The only reason I have an account here is to promote my work, and I've had some success.

As for an Internet community and making mistakes, you'll feel no shame if you simply use an anonymous form of communication. Imageboards are good examples. You can ask a silly question or make a mistaken claim and you don't suffer social stigma, because there's no identity to start with.

You mischaracterize the founding fathers and the Constitution.

First, the founding fathers did not ensure that slavery would be allowed in perpetuity. In fact, the slave trade had already been outlawed (and later the US Navy even sent ships to Africa to interdict slavers leaving the continent -- I wrote a paper years ago on the USS Constellation's involvement there), and the seeds of the civil war were sown in the 3/5ths compromise, which ensured that the south would never be able to muster the power to keep slavery legal.

No one holds up pre colonial times as bastions of freedom and enlightenment. We fought a war then, and there is no question that many things that were not good happened then.

But it's also not sophistry to analyze the intent of the framers of our country's original documents in ensuring that we follow the law. The Constitution is the law of the land, and it means exactly what it says -- which is that the right to keep and bear arms is a natural and individual right. It does not say that having a militia is a right, it does not say that owning handguns is for self defense. It says that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. There is only one statement stronger in the Bill of Rights, and that is "Congress shall make no law" in the first. The militia clause isn't dependent on the right. The militia clause gives a reason for this right (and keep in mind that 10 USC 246 is still in effect to this day), but the right is not dependent on it.

Scalia clearly lays this out, gives the proper English lesson, and explains why the amendment means precisely what it says. That's not sophistry. Oddly enough, your argument above actually is the exact definition of sophistry.

If you don't like the Constitution, it has a mechanism to change it. Try it if you feel it's necessary, but don't make up stories about how it doesn't mean what it means.
> When I was in college I would zone out in lecture and wait till I got home to do the homework because I was being graded on homework and exams

1) College is very different from high school

2) If you don't need the lecturer, then the lecturer sucks.

3) If you really understand that well, why come (I can only assume they took attendance)? I had a digital logical class that was required, but I didn't bother showing up and scored 150%. When I lecture, if you don't need to be there, don't show up. That's perfectly fine by me. However, don't expect me to have a lot of sympathy if you suddenly find that you don't really understand what I lectured on that you skipped.

The OP is spreading FUD.
Isn’t it that the parts are really expensive, not the cost of work?

At least that’s my observation. They wanted $1300 for a headlight on my 2007 BMW, that cost maybe $8000.

Cost of work to replace it was like $30-40.
If something is hard, it means it’s gonna make you better than something that is easy. A lot of classes in college were in compsci (I dropped out before I finished though), and in retrospect, it was a mistake. I was too interested and too good, and had already learned all the stuff on my own. Better to major in something that is hard and only mildly interesting. If it’s too boring, you’ll just flunk out, so mildly interesting is a good compromise.
> That is not caring about me though. Honestly at that point you are spreading the same sort of hand-wavy FUD that is used to take away user control "because security".

I legitimately don't understand your argument here. Do you not lock your car? A opportunistic car thief doesn't have to "care about you", and going through the process of unlocking your car could slow you down.
I think you can make the argument of MBA hate/dislike (not that I want to) from the perspective that in the late 80s a lot of previously engineer/artist-led fields went to studio & management lead. Hollywood had the United Artists Heaven's Gate flop and then moved into studio model. Engineering & business succumbed to the hostile takeover 80's guy shark. There's a well earned perspective that some management is incompetent or cheats with financial or social connections to get their job. I think management competence is a very important role, and quite often an understated performance that doesn't require the glitz and glamour it can have.

The largest wage classes tend to be management now. The heroically competent worker does not get rewarded relative to others in the org like he used to, unless you specialise massively and have a reputation to boot.

I don't think you can measure mental fortitude like that, but I haven't taken those jobs to compare.

Some people are scared of money or behave irrationally with money. I've been to a few therapists that have high powered husbands or clients that illustrate just how irrational they can be. I can see the evidence for the spirit of malcontent with management but I would agree it's not something that can be half-heartedly expressed through a what is basically a meme. It needs to be articulated accurately if it is to improve.
Topic modeling of text documents. The so-called LSA topic-modeling technique is basically SVD applied to text. And, as we all know, SVD is simply PCA without data-centralization.

Why require it to be work? Giving out a UBI would be more productive than inventing filler work.
You can’t refuse to use someone’s preferred pronoun just because you want to. If someone wants to be called he, using them is insulting and demeaning. You would be literally not accepting how he is. Obviously this is not the case in generic writing. But I don’t think that is how 2 people want to communicate.

Not all crime is bad and some “crime” is essential for progress.

What is illegal follows fashions. For example in the UK homosexuality used to be illegal. Our hero Alan Turing was imprisoned for it. There needs to be some latitude for people to do illegal things because the state doesn’t always get it right.

A perfect survellience state is not in ideal in this regard.

You probably want fairly good law enforcement to protect us from crimes but just for it not to be too damn good.
Agreed, there's something to be said for simple models that are "good enough," especially when their limitations are clear. k-NN also comes to mind.

> Sincere question about cheques: How do people in the UK (or other cheque-less places) deal with the transfer of large amounts of money between private or nearly private parties?

When I was freelance consulting in the UK I would put my bank sort code (routing number) and account number on the invoice so the customer could pay me. Same for settling up among friends, quick and easy with internet banking. Payments normally show up in your account instantaneously.

The thing I miss most from UK banking is the standing order. I believe it was introduced in the 1960's or 1970's and you could set up a regular scheduled payment through your bank to pay your rent. Closest in the US is bill pay which ends up sending a paper cheque to my landlord and is delayed in the post a couple of times a year.

Consumer and small business banking in the UK was completely free so long as you didn't go overdrawn. Free cash machine withdrawals at all bank cash machines too. (The small machines you see in convenience stores have a surcharge.)
You can perform outlier detection with the 'autoencoder' architecture. Usually you hear this term in the context of neural networks but actually applies for any method which performs dimensionality reduction and which also has an inverse transform defined.

---

1) Reduce the dimensionality of your data, then perform the inverse transform. This will project your data onto a subset of the original space.

2) Measure the distance between the original data and this 'autoencoded' data. This measures the distance from the data to that particular subspace. Data which is 'described better' by the transform will be closer to the subspace and is more 'typical' of the data and its associated underlying generative process. Conversely, the data which is far away is atypical and can be considered an outlier or anomalous.

---

Precisely which dimensionality reduction technique (PCA, neural networks, etc.) is chosen depends on which assumptions you wish to encode into the model. The vanilla technique for anomaly/outlier detection using neural networks relies on this idea, but encodes almost zero assumptions beyond smoothness in the reduction operation and its inverse.
The capitalists have a way better marketing arm than the communists to, which contributes to the argument

Exactly. In the days of WWDC 2003/2004 there were numerous separate Cocoa/Carbon sessions, and the Carbon message was to go fully to HIToolbox and Carbon Events.

Carbon NIBs even existed, although the format (XML) and concept (definitely not “freeze-dried objects”) were totally different from anything Cocoa. Xcode 4 and up couldn’t edit or view Carbon NIBs, which made that tech deprecation pretty clear.
Not difficult given the incentives. But the lie detecting sounds a bit worrying.
I think they should remove many many more moderators, for no reason other than not doing so risks turning their site and resource into a Wikipedia 2.0, a place where cliquey moderators hang out to discuss their favorite flame bait topics all day, populate gigabytes of meta pages and lash out at unwitting, novel contributors. Wikipedia think a lack of a fancy SPA editor is the reason behind their editor demographics, and they couldn't be further from the truth.

Ideally start with just straight up removing half the current moderators. Pick at random.
> Euro banks do not issue checks

is not entirely universally true: at least here in Germany, especially business accounts might be able to write cheques, because businesses sometimes have to deal with companies in places were cheques are normal. Do you really need to send it in the same letter as the documents? That makes it harder, since many banks will have a partner bank in the US directly send it instead of handing it to you, but the latter also is possible with some banks. So it could be worth researching if you can use such a banks services, e.g. through someone trusted locally. Bit of a long shot, but ...
