Sure, but that's us evolving, not the animals, right? We have made quite a few other nutrient-dense foods that hack those signals. Evolution did not make cheese or chocolate in all these years, because it doesn't target our palate, rather the other way around. (Notable recent counterargument is the selective breeding of cattle for food, but that's thousands, not millions of years.)

I don't think the evolution of cattle is a good indicator of the difficulty of creating great plant protein products.

If you know C well, you don't need a replacement for!
Ghosn fancies himself an elite and was scared of the treatment he would receive in a real jail. He was expecting house arrest, as many white collar criminals receive in western jurisdictions. I have little to no sympathy for his “plight”.

Thank God for Japan treating elites the same as the less well-heeled. Western jurisdictions should take note.

Winnograd Schema Challenges would be a step further for these text captchas. They are asking you to identify an ambiguous pronoun in a statement.

Examples:

- The man couldn't lift his son because he was so weak. Who was weak?

- The firemen arrived after the police because they were coming from so far away. Who came from far away?

- The drain is clogged with hair. It has to be [cleaned/removed]. What has to be [cleaned/removed]?

They are crafted in such a way that there are two variants of the challenge every time. Ex: The man couldn't lift his son because he was so heavy. Who was heavy?

I don't know if they are hard to generate automatically. They do require common sense to solve and it's still an open problem.

Of the works listed, I’ve read only The Architecture of Symbolic Computers and Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. The latter is widely known as it undergirds many a computer science course, but the former is far more impressive by a wide margin. As a invertebrate mathematician, breaching the threshold between numerical and symbolic computation (though ultimately) gives me an undeniable frisson of profundity.
ESI Group | Software development engineer | San Diego, CA | Full-time | Onsite strongly preferred

Note that protecting the company from being sued can mean protecting you. For example, a harasser might be fired to avoid a lawsuit. But you hear stories about HR people putting the company in legal jeopardy (e.g. not firing a harasser) due to their own bias, laziness or in-company relationships.
There's a Giant Mystery Hiding Inside Every Atom in the Universe
Ok for user facing programs horrible for libraries as you can no longer tell which versions have just internal bug fixes, which add additional interface in a backwards compatible way and which are being changes.

Also this makes it impossible/stupidly hard to release security patches for a older but stable version of a library when a new version with a largely changed API is released (which might not yet be feature completely)

Sure there are some ecosystems what a lot of authors don't do semver right, or where due to (mostly dynamic) aspects of the language this is harder then it should be.

But why not:
1. Require semver for a ecosystem/package manage which clear rules as what constitutes as a breaking change
2. Remove/ban packages which don't keep with it (or at last put a warning up). Authors who don't like it can still release a major version update Everytime.

Honestly if this schema would be used in a library ecosystem thinks would be pretty fast become pretty bad with you having to pull in tens of versions of the same fundamental dependency which might even all be compatible but you can't tell automatically and have to check by hand which isn't something you can afford time wise.
It sounds like product teams were deliberating circumventing his team. Hard to imagine anybody being able to serve in this role if their partner teams are unwilling to work with them.

Sidenote: the fundamental problem with Google's performance review process is that you get to choose who reviews you, and nobody chooses to get reviewed by somebody they quarreled with. As a result, claiming you had good performance reviews is more or less meaningless. It really just means your manager liked you. It says little about how good you are at working with others.

A line of attack being standard doesn't make it bad. Putting forward a child to speak to world leaders and get worked up on behalf of other children isn't going to do the movement any favours. Greta is a puppet chosen because someone cynically thinks that putting a child on stage is going to tug on people's heartstrings. They might be right, but she doesn't have anything going for her that should command respect.
>>"the right has never gain power in the media, academia"

Excluding, the Murdoch empire including Fox News, the entire RW media ecosystem,'access journalism' as practiced by such as the NYT, and the general false equivalence presumption of most large media outlets. Denying that there is any RW power in the media is a strawman argument at best.

In Academia? Seems to overlook the fact that when given sufficient thought, many RW concepts are justifications for policies that do not hold up to data-backed studies (e.g., benefits of treating drug use as a public health issue), are simply outright denial of science (climate change / AGW denialism), or are straight-up anti-intellectualism used to support popular movements. Combine these trends, and there is sound reason to consider that academia being more liberal is not some crass bias, but based on well-founded reasons.

How high do you think it is in the US?
Heh. When I was younger, I was lost and distracted (with a paper map, pre-9/11) while driving, and ended up inside CFB Borden (one of the military bases mentioned in the article) without realizing it, by absent-mindedly following traffic. I wonder if someone distracted by Pokemon on their phone could make the same mistake today.
This could also explain the low (or 0) deaths. When you're going against the system i.e. crossing or contemplating crossing the road without the instruction of the pedestrian traffic light, you're usually more alert to your surroundings. I cross the street at will in Berlin, and even on a one-way street I still look both ways to be extra sure.

The author of the article clearly had that or something very similar in mind when he wrote this piece. It reads exactly like that story (I had the same thought as you).

It's a very good solution for people who don't know you have something like this. Clearly if the FBI (or whatever) knew of the USB kill device, they'd take a slightly different snatch and grab approach. However if the adversary doesn't think or doesn't know you have something like this, then it can be used to great effect.

Flash is good. If the state transition is "no indicator -> spinner -> checkmark", then if the user notices the spinner flashing for one frame, that only ensures them the task was actually performed.

It's a real case, actually. I don't remember a name, but I've encountered this situation in the past, and that brief flash of a "in progress" marker was what I used to determine whether me clicking a "retry" button actually did something, or whether the input was just ignored. It's one of those unexpected benefits of predictability of UI coding; the less special cases there are, the better.

There are many 10+ year old linux kernels in embedded devices all over the place, and much less secure systems and services on top of that. It's often called the internet of shitty things.
In Ruby on Rails one can add just one line of code to achieve the same result.

That solution is good enough for most use cases and doesn't require highly skilled architects and developers to implement Event Sourcing properly.
You paid money for phone hardware. You didn't pay for the OS on top of it, or the additional software you got via the play store.

If it's anything like the Window's tax on consumer PCs, that would add $50 to the price tag. And then another 20 for McAfee anti-virus, and pay-per-month fees for Adobe and Office365, etc.
I recently graduated and majored in CIS as well as CS, and the CIS classes were in the business school. This is something we talked about a good deal in one of my CIS classes. Unfortunately, it was a specific major class, not something all business majors took. I am unsure if normal management majors were taught similar ideas but I thought the class I took was rather well done.
> Cars almost always have a green in the same direction, meaning they can turn into you.

This is where you are mistaken. In the US, cars are obligated to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk while turning, even with a green light. The pedestrian signal indicates pedestrians have the right of way. Of course, drivers may illegally fail to yield, but whether a driver obeys the law is a different matter than what the law says.
Exactly. The US uses shear size as a boundary to entry into the bases. I learned this after reading about the German family who perished in Death Valley and their perilous walk to find help at the nearby military base which proved fruitless. They were looking for a fence and guard towers not realizing they were walking further from help.
> Turned off auto–update on the Mac and iPhone/iPad.

Why? I would have done the opposite.
I heard that the convention was to set the duration of the amber stage to something around the time it takes a fast-walking pedestrian to cross, so that you could start crossing near the end of a pedestrian green signal without being on the road during green for drivers. Unfortunately at some crossings these days, the full duration of the green signal isn't long enough for me to fully cross before it turns to amber (and I probably walk about 4x faster than your garden-variety old dear with a stick).
The real question is how he left in the first place.
