Interesting! I ask the question from a theoretical standpoint only. Yes, it would be slow if it was done, no question about that! But maybe it could find use as a way of testing/validating a correct HDL FPGA design before manufacturing actual hardware...
The work experience requirement is pretty important, though. That's how you learn the practical side of the field.

I have a degree in EE, but there's a 0% chance I could safely design electrical equipment. In school they taught me how to analyze circuits, but I know nothing of the electrical code, let alone practical matters like mechanical stresses on wires. Without somebody to learn from, I would learn a lot of things the hard way—when the design fails.
If you "postpone" it often enough, that's basically the same as fixing it.

Postpone means "fixing it for now, but not for all time." Fix it for now, then let tomorrow figure out how to postpone it again.

That's only a problem if postponing it involves incurring worse future problems.
Strange thing not to understand. There are real repercussions - a number of people will be laid off who only a few months back were promised a healthy company and an absurd valuation. The people laid off may lose their health coverage. They will have to depend on unemployment to keep their families afloat. Many employees were probably given options, with an absurd valuation. Those are worthless. Early employees are probably wiped out. But - the one person who was made this false promises will walk off with $2bn.

The abstract (I didn't try scihub, but the paper isn't available from his berkeley page either) worryingly blurs "inventors", patent creation, and "[US] macroeconomic benefits".

Approaches to patents vary greatly with industry and business plan. Both of which vary with region. And their correspondence to national benefit is even more diverse.

Number of researchers might serve as a useful cross-check. BLS Occupational Employment Statistics has categories like "Medical Scientists".

But what portion of software innovation is done by "Computer and Information Research Scientists"? What portion is patented? One might easily imagine innovators shifting from dispersed general industry, to concentrated regions and companies emphasizing patents, with an associated increase in patent productivity, but net innovation and economic loss.

Number of IP lawyers per million population needs a lot of correction to serve as a proxy for the economic benefits of innovation.

At a time when we're in a big trade war, in no small part from trying to impose our industrial policy, I wonder if software engineering as a profession is fulfilling an obligation to clearly communicate its experience of just how sensitive impacts are to all the knobs and dials of patent law and policy, and how easily it goes severely net negative. When I encounter economists assuming a general connection between patents and societal innovation across very dissimilar industries, I wonder which of us is failing the other.

Hawaii has a functioning democracy. If you get arrested, you're entitled to a trial by your peers. You can vote for the President, two Senators, and two Representatives. They have no extradition treaty with China and aren't planning to enact one.

It's a little different than the situation in Hong Kong right now. If the people of Hong Kong voted for Xi Jinping, that would be similar to where Hawaii is.

TL;DR: Hawaii doesn't need to be freed. They are free.
There is. After the NTSB final report comes out next month I expect both investigations for taking away PE licenses and probably also criminal charges for gross negligence.

Other reasons you might want to use a VPN:

* Geoblockers - Much media content is blocked based on geolocation, specifically geolocation based on your IP. (Netflix, Youtube, etc.)

* IP blacklist - I know a few people that have inherited a blacklisted IP simply through unlucky ISP IP allocation.

* ISP logging - So not a hostile ISP, but one that actively tries to log your data. (If you live in Europe, this is almost definitely happening. Apparently in the US ISPs even sell this data.)

* Speed - A few people report being able to get a faster network connection. (I'm not entirely sure why this is the case, but I can imagine there being edge cases where this is possible.)

Setting up your own VPN is NOT solution to every problem mentioned here, especially if you want to switch server location on a whim or are not technically minded.
As a native and current Angelino, if the city wants to grow tech, it needs capital. We don't have the businesses, can't keep talent, and cost of living is too high to survive without a good salary. Irvine, despite being an excruciatingly boring cookie-cutter place, is slightly cheaper to live and has the Silicon Valley overflow offices.

A lot of talent starts in LA, but it gets immediately poached by literally every other city. If you don't have a Hollywood tech job, it's grim. I really want to stay, but can see a realistic/near future where I leave. (But I'm not going back to Irvine ever again)
Healthcare is a huge monopoly. They won't add modern tech because they don't need to compete, even in the US where healthcare is/was supposedly free market. People in healthcare are extremely conformist from my experience and basically look down on the SV way of doing things. I think the only way they will advance is if something is 10x better than what they already have, which to their credit, nothing so far is. You have to come up with something better than, “Do what you were doing but holding an iPad”. It also has to be directly obviously profitable, so no disease prevention. A good general direction would be something that somehow lets a doctor see more patients. One of the big macro trends is there's going to be a huge shortage of doctors.
Funny that you mention PRP. Was about to get one, then decided to do more research. The evidence is not good. Just saw a surgeon today who says he doesn't get good results with it for sub-patellar tendon tears, but has seen promising results for arthritis.

I dunno there are a lot of medical conspiracy theories, but the average person doesn't know crap about how we know their bodies work. A couple of years of biophysics has taught me that biology is waaaaaaay more complicated than the nastiest distributed computer system you've ever heard of.

When I hear civilians trying to talk about health or bio, or why cancer is a hoax ... it's like being a car mechanic who knows a thing or two about cars and having someone come up to you to tell you they need their banana wipers replaced because the windshields don't roll properly when they put their foot on the cigarette lighter. Like ... I have no idea what you're even saying beyond some medieval animist notions of good stuff and bad stuff. /rant
Whether or not it creates worse future problems depends primarily on whether or not it creates net tax revenue. So the new immigrants pay taxes, that helps. But presumably this new elder care is going to be funded in part or in whole by an increase in taxes.
Like the other poster suggested, consider seeking help from a counsellor. Depending on which part of India you are in there is a good chance of finding someone who suits you.

The world is held together with nothing but human thought. Man must be free so that his mind is free to think. A doctor working under compulsion should terrify those under his scalpel. Likewise for the engineer, and his customer, who designs a bridge, an elevator, or even a simple toaster.
Yeah I think that's very fair. He has undoubtedly screwed a lot of people over here. On the other hand many of them were just as greedy as Adam was with the key exception that they did not position themselves in a winning matter.

TFA does not contain that evidence; the most straightforward reading contradicts it directly. Don't pay such close attention to Jayne Yack's "All of those ears, as far as we know, are tuned to ultrasound, and therefore most likely respond to bats." "as far as we know" is doing a lot of work in that proposition, because actually no one has done any of the research that would be required to show that any of the nine distinct ear evolutions were initially targeted at ultrasound. Later in that same paragraph, Jesse Barber more sensibly indicates, "It seems likely that ears evolved for that reason: to survey the world." The following paragraph begins thus: "When echolocating bats arrived in that world, moths then transformed their existing ears into specialized sonar detectors, by shifting their range toward higher frequencies."

One might have expected one of "the greatest writers on nature" not to have so confused his ardent fan.
I’m not sure what parts you feel like aren’t aligning with what I said, I read the parts you quote and it seems to match what I intended.

But, FWIW, here are a few things to consider:

1- the 5-6% gap / 94 cents per dollar number is an adjusted number that takes career choices into account. The unadjusted raw data number is around 80 cents on the dollar. Your emphasis on the word possible is missing the fact that the evidence of a gap is absolutely clear. What’s missing is unassailable proof of the causes, especially when you remove some of them by adjusting the data.

2- Adjusting for career choices is intentionally removing something that we know is currently different between men and women, and career choices are driven partially by cultural norms, which in the past are known to have been caused by discrimination. Adjusting that way might be the right thing to do, but that’s not entirely clear, it might also be rose-tinted glasses.

3- You’re picking only on today’s data point in the US, and my point was explicitly that yesterday’s data and data for other countries is even more conclusive, even after adjusting for career choices. The unadjusted data has risen 20% in the last 50 years, but it still potentially has 20% further to go. https://www.pay-equity.org/info-time.html

4- Yes, quantifying discrimination is absolutely difficult. Please note that my comment claimed the existence of a pay gap, not that the cause was discrimination. Many kinds of bias and discrimination are extremely difficult to detect. Lots of evidence that biases are unconscious and sometimes act against someone’s conscious & stated goals. That said, given that discrimination has absolutely occurred in the last century, and that the pay gap is only recently closing, and that women’s choices are currently fluctuating and not fixed, it would be a pretty bad bet to assume that all bias has been eradicated from our society already.
Robo-medicine! Every upgrade is a fleet upgrade.
In my experience, no.

(A) Selenium's UX isn't nearly where it needs to be to upskill an analyst to create their own automations.

(B) Selenium's Windows app compatibility is haphazard.

(C) Selenium doesn't have the kind of corporate support it would take to expand compatibility quickly enough to catch up with its competition.

The RPA space is the Linux desktop problem in a nutshell. Polish and niche compatibility are the final 10%.

Nobody on the open source side has the interest in making a VB6 app work. And nobody on the corporate side really wants to use it for more than what they're currently using it for.

I can't overstate the sheer number of bizarre situations a tool needs to be able to handle to be effective here.

Because being able to automate something 95% of the way to completion is usually a lot less valuable than 100% (note: talking about percentage of happy-path process, not of total incoming workload here).
Depends what kind of error you're referring to but if it's a 5xx cdns can be setup to serve a static html. That html can contain as much or as little info about the error (including no info if you think the endpoint is likely to come under attack the page could be disguised as something legit).

Of course you should be monitoring for and logging these error responses from the origin and fixing them as soon as possible. The cdn response is just to provide cover. Again, that is if you need or want it. If you want to expose errors to the public go right ahead nobody is going to stop you.
I was new to Python, Django and Postgres. I was looking up how to do search and stumbled on articles how to use Elasticsearch in Django. So I went with it.
There has to be a trade for it to be insider trading.
I have no information about whether it went down that way or not. All I know is that this article set of my "extremely biased source" warnings quite strongly.

Is there any coverage of this in the mainstream press? Any verification of any of the content of this article? Anything?

Or are we getting all riled up because one person wrote an article with the intent of riling people up?

As I said, I don't know. I would welcome other sources.

A lot of commercial lighting is switching off of HPS because of claims about LED lifetime costs based on (seemingly false) figures about durability. (E.g. drive around Los Angeles and see the dead/dying LED streetlights all over the place).

I wouldn't be surprised if HPS lightning starts becoming unavailable as a result-- this has already happened with LPS lightning, with several manufacturers shutting down fabrication.

Not really. WeWork had $12.8B in funding. Now they're valued at $8B. They'll be valued at a lot less if they go bankrupt, so if Softbank can stabilize the company, they can cap their losses. Risk is also baked into that valuation, so if Softbank fixes things, they'll come out ahead.

This seems almost exactly backwards to me.

“Geometric” proofs (i.e. based on spatial reasoning) are fast and fluid, relying on an imagined spatial configuration which can be seen all at once.

“Algebraic” proofs (i.e. based on symbol manipulation) are serialized and low-bandwidth, and working them out takes a significant amount of laborious fiddling with symbols on paper, and is almost impossible to work out mentally except in nearly trivial cases.

The benefit of the “algebraic” version is often that putting in that labor can often yield a result even when the prover has no special insight. That is, the method can be more reliably carried out by non-geniuses (assuming that the prover has sufficient patience and stamina), because the work can be broken into small individually opaque steps and written down on paper instead of needing to be seen all at once.

To the extent algebraic proofs are fast/elegant/obvious, they generally rely on a clear 2-dimensional notation on paper where it is easy to see how to simplify the parts based on visual patterns known via extensive past experience. Cf. https://arxiv.org/abs/math/9205211

What about just setting up your own VPN on a cloud provider or a raspberry pi? You’d still be responsible for the traffic flowing through but at least you wouldn’t have ISP logging, get around geoblockers, keep a secure connection in public WiFi’s, fantastic for devops people who want to have local connections for debugging networking things on aws/gcp/cloud providers, etc...

I think you mean that you shouldn’t think of a VPN as an anonymous traffic tool like they advertise.

Practicing is _very_ helpful. pramp.com is good for getting over the nerves and practicing the (approximate) format. For the actual problems, there's a lot of resources out there.

Read Laaksonen's Competitive Programming book, practice on cses.fi/problemset , codeforces.com , hackerrank.com , codechef.com , etc. If you have the time, study CLRS Introduction to Algorithms.

Clearly corrupted if the article is accurate. FireBeyond questioned the accuracy. You assume the accuracy of the article, and question FireBeyond's motives. But the question still stands: Is the article accurate? Can you provide any confirmation that it is? Are there any independent accounts of the hearing? (I don't regard the article as an independent account; the author stated that he is a close friend of Assange.)

Hey I'm the lead roboticist with https://farmwise.io/

We're building autonomous devices for sustainable farming at scale; that means weeding without chemicals, reducing fertilizer utilization and building new methods for planting/harvesting.

For a roboticist this translates to building high quality odometry, actuation and navigation stacks. We have novel backend and real time systems challenges as well. I've worked on autonomous systems for several years now and have seen how effective solid software engineers are at building solutions in the robotics space.

Our company is product focused and has devices operating on farms today, feel free to reach out with any questions.
