> Yeah, caste system is bad. India would have been in better place is it isn't exploited.

I think, I clearly mentioned it is bad.

So what was your thought like, Indians just sprung up during Ramayana, people did exist before and they can also read and write.

As per Hinduism, Ramayana is not the ancient texts, there exists many texts before it. It is kind of recent one.

I'm Roman Catholic by birth but I'm going to pursue Hinduism in future, I don't speak about Christ because I live in India, and no.of people who discuss about it is less. I haven't read any Hindu texts, but I did read Bible.

Hinduism regarding to righteous living, have got it completely covered. Which is what I'm interested in knowing.

I'm generally interested in ancient history, religion and philosophy.

Hinduism had a very good coverage regarding philosophy and the living culture which is able to survive in modern times.

I didn't delve into Hinduism, but I'm going to after 2 or 3 years. Right now my focus is else where.

I'm not astroturfing, I'm generally interested in religion and anything which broadens my understanding, Hinduism seems to fit very well into it.

Facebook could have restricted 3rd party access to only those applications that had given permission, or provided a way to manually export it so users would become familiar with a process they should probably know anyway.
Probably price insulation.

In San Francisco, depending on where you go right now, tomatoes might be $20 a case or they might be $40 a case. Why is any place selling them for $40 a case? I honestly couldn’t tell you other than there was probably a problem somewhere with the tomato crop. But if you’re able to get them for $20 a case right now, it’s because that store was able to get them for a good price, and that means somewhere upstream in the supply chain, a futures contract was exchanged which made that possible by locking in the purchase price in advance for this batch of tomatoes.

This is often the case with avocados which might sell for $0.50 a piece in one place or up to $3 a piece in another. Anything can affect the price, up to and including cartels in Mexico demanding protection money from Avocado farmers recently, but pests, weather, soil problems, or whatever might limit the supply and lead to price increases.

Walmart, being Walmart which isn’t unlike being Costco or any other major supermarket of sorts where people buy food, would want to limit their exposure to shocks in the market regardless of what’s causing the shocks. So they would need to employ futures traders in order to accomplish this. Even if they lose money on some contracts, they’re probably making money on enough of them to keep their prices low when you go there to buy tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, spinach, meat, poultry, or whatever. Nobody is happy when the price of tomatoes suddenly doubles almost overnight, and especially not the customer.
I hear this analogy used sometimes but modern data isn't equivalent to phone book data. You had the option to be unlisted and it was respected. You also didn't have your name and address tied to so much personal data in one place. And do we know this data was public? I don't use FB but I know you have options to control who can see what you post, whether it's public or private.

Sure, if you're the HN crowd and assume every database is penetrable, this may not be a "threat incident" but when you're Grandma Jones who assumes that when she ticks the "private" box on her posts that it'll be private. If you care about infosec but are still ignorant of just how incompetent these companies can be then this breach is a "verified threat incident" and there's no reason to be alarmist here because someone mentioned that it happened.

I scored 75%. I got 4 out of 7 wrong at the beginning, and then 1 out of 13 wrong for the rest. Once I understood the context, this got much easier. On the other hand, adding just a little more crazy misspelled exclamation point passion to the bot versions would make them much harder to tell apart from the real thing.
Or talk to your colleagues. We talk about salary, bonus, raises etc.
Have you dismissed the cookie dialog at the bottom of the page?
HR won't care at my employer. There is no negotating a salary, there is no asking for a raise. There is a base amount that everyone gets, period, when they hire in and then your annual merit increase (the years we get one) is 0-3% and rarely does anyone even get close to 3%.

All you have to do is ask someone how long they've been here, take the lowest number of the salary range for their position then multiply that by 1.02 or 1.03% for each year they've been here and you've got a pretty good idea of what they make.

Each step up the ladder is a set % too so even if someone gets a higher position (when one rarely opens up, usually when someone quits) you still know about what they are making.

And my parent company employs what, like half a million people... nearly all of which have similar pay brackets.

Jokes about anything can be funny. Depends on the joke.
(Co-author of the paper.) You are right. However, it is a bit hard to find the threshold. Even the original author of the cuckoo filter didn't get it right, see https://github.com/efficient/cuckoofilter/issues/9 - for this reason we also lowered the maximum load to 0.94. However, I found (running the benchmarks) that sometimes that is not sufficient (insertion still fails). So, where is the cliff exactly? Is it 0.9? Or lower? And, as you say, it also depends on the hash function. We have used the Murmur3 finalizer, which is statistically very good. What if you use a weaker hash function? For a regular cuckoo hash table, you can just re-build it. But for a cuckoo filter rebuild is not easily possible as you don't have the keys.

You are also right regarding augmenting the cuckoo filter (e.g. "cuckoo hashing with a stash"), but it slows things down. Or use a different algorithm to insert (breath first I think). But it would add complexity.

I think, as is, the cuckoo filter is quite a tricky data structure: it can do a lot in theory, but it is very tricky to get right.

The problem domain is that of happiness/suffering, and how to obtain/lessen it. Anywhere that is a goal it can be applied. It has been applied to each of the Buddhisms (see edit note), which is why they're called Buddhism. You could apply it to a school or business if you wished, or a family, or yourself.

The problem domain for Ruby on Rails is how to build websites. That's why websites built using Rails are referred to as a Rails site.

The problem domain of Prince2 is how to manage a project. It's why projects which apply it are called Prince2 projects, or Prince2 organisations if they apply it more widely.

What's the problem domain for Jesus' teachings? Where has it been applied?

Edit: Because of the misnomer (people calling things Buddhism that aren't) it makes my initial phrasing seem circular. The Buddhisms are each their own religion which then applied Buddhism, which is why they're now know as Buddhism. So, Bon, the Tibetan shamanic religion is now known as Tibetan Buddhism.
My only complaint is if I pick “2 meals” it shows breakfast and lunch rather than lunch and dinner and I can’t get it to flip.

Anyone know how to fix that?

One issue with static data is that it’ll rise and fall. Salaries today may be different in the future. You would have to continually receive data to have the latest up to date changes.

Many variables affects the data; age, location, experience, availability, opportunity etc. therefore your data starts to look more like a range, rather than just a number.

In the past, for the same role, company a will only pay this much, whereas company b is willing to negotiate; this is changing.

The problem has already been partially solved. Two companies comes to mind; one stands out by far imo.

Roam – a graph-based personal knowledgebase
Roam (https://roamresearch.com) is a webapp for doing research (note-taking, "Zettelkasten", codex, personal knowledge-base, whatever you want to call it). Its UX has a lot of rough edges (esp. rel to import/export), but for now it's free, and IMHO this paradigm -- a graph instead of a hierarchy -- is extremely powerful and interesting. It takes some effort to get past the ugly UI, and I'm still adjusting to the awkwardness of bullet list items as the primary unit, and learning to resist the habit or instinct to categorize as I type... but even so, it's already useful and noteworthy. Interested to see if others here will agree.

Since our legal services broadly cover EU/India at the moment (Uk is WIP) and I'm an engineer, I wanted to help the person out thus went hunting for an answer which was on the house. Whilst scraping this site together, I pulled together some of the answers that we provided to reflect the spectrum of answers as well as our willingness to help, even at the cost of man hunting for answers myself which are on the house. Hope it helps.

If it were my intention to scrape, I would have just picked the most upvoted answers on SO, instead I picked one with 2 upvotes since it was one I provided.

I’ve felt more balanced working in AAA games (just Q/A, but still) with several crunches and weekend night shift work, although the accounted work time was much longer.

The main difference was that it was not possible to take any work home as everything was under secrecy, i.e. there was a clear boundary between work time and free time. Thus after going home there was no option but enjoying something without feeling guilty.

Very liberal worktimes have their advantages though for night owls who sometimes only get their brain running with an afternoon walk.

The peanut butter we buy is peanuts made in to butter. But in the supermarket it has a lot of sugar, and some salt to cover the sweetness, I don't understand why - I guess some far rich twat realised her could pack it out with a cheap sugar source and reduce the peanut cost.

Similarly honey is, I gather from various media, not usually just honey but has quite a lot of sugar syrup added.

So, just saying "peanut butter and honey" you'll get quite different supermarket products on different geographies (I'm in the UK, fwiw).
There is no such thing as a "Google Tax law" that is only applicable to Google. There are many laws and regulation trying to curb 'Multinational Tax Avoidance', some of which have been inspired by the elaborate schemes companies such a Google and others employ to avoid paying any contributions to the public that makes it possible for them to do business in the first place (Goolge 'Double Irish Dutch Sandwich' for an example).

Your complaint of bureaucracy is valid. You should not be arbitrarily held back by irrelevant protocol. While Spain (and other southern European countries) seems to be very traditional in their adherence to formalism and procedure, nevertheless this seems to be advancing into a more agile direction.

There is a difference between arguing for a level playing field, which I support, and arguing for abolishing all financial contribution to the public domain, which I oppose completely.

As a last point you might want to look up why the taxi regulations were introduced in the first place, and how, while the 'mechanism' might be new (apps), the model has resurfaced every time there was an overproduction in the car industry coupled with an economic downturn.
This is tangential, but I wonder if the problem with "bot commenting" isn't inherent to forum-style discussion. When our only channel for analysis/criticism is ephemeral comment sections, we lose the ability to compare related discussions of a topic over time, or to rectify disagreements that occur across several threads, or even across different sub-trees of discussion.

Compared to a wiki-style website, where all angles of the argument can be collected into one place to make a cohesive comparative overview; as forum-users, we are left stranded in noisy content, and we rely on making heuristic judgements based on popularity of certain opinions and stubbornness of certain commenters. Bots make easy work of exploiting these flawed heuristics.

the only way to achieve reliability would come from comparing the actual salaries of a set of big enough companies with what their employees have actually volunteered to share and more importantly which ones. Only then you would be able to actually measure how all the human factors are affecting the outcome and then perhaps generalize it to real world. so the issue needs a scientific research, not another zuckerberg.

The terminal, and particularly the business model around it, is widely disliked in some parts of the industry. Bloomberg has an incredible amount of power as the only high quality source for certain types of data, and they tie it to the terminal. There are all sorts of contractual requirements around data not leaving the machine the terminal.

It's not uncommon to hear stories about small trading shops or asset managers having a shared terminals which they run over to do specific actions, or a substantial amount of effort being put into automated data extraction which avoids Bloomberg's controls.

What I like about your project is that I've always felt that debuggers and such give us the same 'von Neumann' view of running programmers that we feel our CPU has. It's a bit like trying to figure out why your car won't start when all you have is a view through a microscope. And besides that, it is quite often that which is not happening that is indicative of an issue and debuggers usually allow you to focus only very well on everything that does happen.
