Where are you getting the measles risk from?

All the numbers I can find put the risk of measles in the US at a couple of orders of magnitude lower than 1/40. About 1000 cases a year in a bad year, 320 million population, 80 year lifespan give about a 1/4000 chance of getting measles sometime over your lifespan.
Same here. Ithaca schools are just soooo proud of the Cornell note taking system they taught it to us as if it was eternal and essential, but ultimately useless, just like cursive.

I also went to Cornell and never saw it used or mentioned once.
That's a good point. On the other hand one may have ideas that are not pursued because of: lack of domain expertise, lack of capital, family commitments, etc.

> Unfortunately it doesn’t look like there’s been as much research on specific methodologies (e.g. Cornell method), but it may also be the case that the methodology doesn’t matter at all, only that the strategies are employed.

I recall that in the book Your Memory by Ken Higbee he said that various study/notetaking methods don't differ much and just combine strategies that are known to work. So he picked a popular system to recommend to readers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQ3R

You can immediately see similarities between SQ3R and Cornell Notes.

>What's the bar for being hired as a FAANG engineering manager?

In my past cycle I interviewed at, and received offers from two of the FAANGs. Past Engineering management experience was required and experience managing other managers was definitely a big plus. I think it's that latter bit that really makes a candidate very attractive since there seems to be high demand. A history of strong IC experience and technical leadership was also required.

I didn't have FAANG experience, but did have significant startup experience and a clear career progression, culminating in a few years at larger (>10k people) companies. One benefit of startup work is that the majority of my past experience is being the primary architect & owner of complicated production codebases and systems. The larger companies provided an opportunity to show how I was effective working cross functionally and getting things done in orgs where I was not in the chain of command.

So, tl;dr: is that strong IC background plus a few years of management are required, but specific types of experience can make you more attractive.
>Yes, I heard about them. And the point remains, as soon as their effects were discovered, they were pulled.

Then you have not read of Vioxx or Thalidomide in sufficient detail. There were also massive coverups (or being dismissive of reported negative effects) did you notice that when you read it?

Boeing and Airbus both source avionics from the same third parties. The 737NG uses Smiths, but everything else in the Boeing fleet (and all newer Airbus airframes that I’m aware of) come from Honeywell. While you can fault Boeing for not finding this, the vast majority of the fault lies with the OEM.
It is a tough series to get into, and I won't apologize for a lot of it's pacing issues. All incarnations of Ghost In The Shell have prioritized communicating ideas about future society, which often comes at the cost of narrative cohesion. Stand Alone Complex and the Manga are, I think, the best entries in the franchise, but even those subject the audience to big exposition dumps.

But for my money, I think GitS has been one of the most prescient pieces of futurology. It's depiction of the impact of omnipresent telecommunications and technology on society is eerie.

How is this unique to Apples? Most fruit trees come from clones. If you buy local the clones will be grafted onto a rootstock that matches your zone. A lot of vegetable seeds are unlikely to produce identical plants from seeds, especially if you have multiple squashes. Hass avocados are clones from the original tress a farmer found in the early 1900s.

Hi folks, I'm looking for a time tracker for personal use on Windows. I prefer something native and/or open source. Do you have any suggestions?
During my university studies, a few classmates decided to edit a Wikipedia page for a niche technique in our field - changing the article to state it was invented by a rather boisterous member of our group.

The year following our graduation, my classmate heard from the tutor who runs the related course -- asking why the hell his students were claiming he invented such-and-such technique! Several students had cited Wikipedia without checking sources.

To answer your question, Wikipedia is a lower quality source than scientific journals for the same reason direct democracy isn't usually as good as representative democracy. We delegate trust in matters to an authority. Sometimes there are problems with the quality of the authority but at least there is a framework to work within.

Can you share your concise morning routines?
I love the idea of a consistent morning routine prior to the workday. I don't love the idea of spending my whole morning on that routine. For those that have a short, effective morning routine, would you mind sharing?

I'll start with myself. Currently I wake up, drink a cup of water, jog a single mile (always outdoors), do yoga for 5 minutes (from a saved set of Youtube videos), meditate for 5 minutes, take a minute-long cold shower, and drink a hot cup of coffee.

Not a silly question and actually a very powerful, seldom used feature: partial reconfiguration.

There are, however, several limitations to it. Clock cannot be changed, for example, and usually neither can I/O, specially high-speed transceivers. This has been improving (Ultrascale Xilinx allows for reconfiguring I/O), but you still have to reserve area for reconfiguring (meaning literal area, as in a geographic region in the FPGA).

However, I/O versatility as you suggested has very few advantages to it. You need the reserved logic for ethernet to be programmed at when you plugin. Why would you leve it unprogrammed? If is simply disabled, it won't use any extra power resources, and your soft-CPU's won't be able to take advantage of these resources while you are working. Maybe you could use the area for new soft-cpus, but then you'll hit the problem of over segmenting your design and allowing for less optimization. This would inevitably impact timing constraints and area usage.

Also, FPGA programming may take minutes to finish, and always at least a few seconds. This will be very noticeable by an user and not very efficient if it has to be done frequently.

There are, of courses, good uses for that. But there is also a lot of effort on doing it right and you always risk overdoing it.
I like the idea of using the language (golang) itself to write the rules, instead of DSL or specialized language like Datalog. But why go for a restricted ad hoc interpretation instead of just executing this code as a plugin?
What is so bad about mercurial branching? The underlying structure is the same as git: a directed acyclic graph, the only real difference is how branches are named.

Mercurial has 3 ways of doing branching:

- bookmarks: these are like git branches, a pointer to a revision

- branches: when you are in a branch, all commits are permanently affixed with that branch name. Less flexible than bookmarks (and therefore git branches) but good for traceability

- heads: unlike with git, a branch name can refer to several actual branches, it usually happens when you are pulling from a central repository, but you can create them yourself if you need some kind of anonymous branching. These can be pushed but it is not recommended.

Git only has the first option.

The way central repository are managed is also a bit different even if the fundamentals are the same. Git has the "origin" namespace to distinguish remote branches from local branches. Mercurial uses a "phase" which can be "public" (in remote), "private" (local only, will become "public" after a push) and "secret" (like "private", but will not be pushed and therefore will not become "public"). So if you are not synchronized with the remote, in git you will have two branches: origin/my_branch and my_branch, in mercurial, you will have two branches named my_branch, one public, one private. That's essentially the same thing, presented differently.

In the end, they are fundamentally the same. The feel is different though. Git is flexible, and gives you plenty of tools to keep things nice and clean when working with large, distributed project. As expected for something designed for the Linux kernel. Mercurial focuses on preserving history, including the history of your mistakes, and I feel it is better suited for managed teams than a loosely connected community.
« For CS ». I mean, CS is pretty vast. There are subcategories, finer paper classifications, you can look into. It would still be a high number of paper to look at. You need to learn to skim over a title an abstract in ~30 secs and decide if it’s worth your time. Also, use google scholar alerts.

I didn't restate my position - I made the observation that the human practice of science falls short of being devoid of dogmatism, but that that doesn't make science itself dogmatic.

I never made the claim that religion is more dogmatic than other human activity, only that it is certainly more dogmatic than science. Nothing in science is presented as being incontrovertibly true, while religion existentially depends upon the undeniable existence of God. No proof is offered for the existence of this God, making religion dogmatic.
I did this - moved from Western Europe to London a couple of years ago as a SWE.

No, someone shouldn't be discouraged in applying. But they should know that their chances are low.

If an inexperienced manager is hired by the tech company, the blame falls on the tech company's hiring practices when things don't work out, not the applicant. People will always want a big raise or promotion.

I think the GitS material is probably best treated as individual installments. The second movie was some sort of weird art film I struggled to watch. What I got out of the first one was that Kusanagi may or may not actually be a person. There may be one (or more) instances of Kusanagi in the world and the ambiguity the movie plays with is "Is she a person in a cybernetic body or is this a convenient lie to the AI inside the body?"

If we assume she's an AI - at what point does she become individual "enough" to be a defacto "person"? There's a lot of Asimov in this question. The puppetmaster adds a level of abstraction to this by not requiring a 1:1 mapping between a ghost and a body.

If we assume she's a person - do we count her as a human because she only briefly had a body of flesh and bone? What does this "internet in her head" do to affect her psyche and personal development?
I don't know if it's relevant for computer architects, but one great thing about Alphas (at least the ones I operated) was their relatively huge memory and cache. They were much admired generally by users processing data. An individual crystallography image might fit in cache, and a typical complete dataset in memory -- not that that stopped the maintainer of the main analysis program retaining the disk-based sort bottleneck originating on PDP-11s...

The prosecutions are covered by the news. There is one in the UK today.

The point is that a foiled plot doesn't get reported on when it's discovered only when the offender goes to trial.

There is no public record of each arrest by the police, as an example which might help understand this.

Furthermore there will be plots that are foiled, people arrested but prosecutions dropped due to lack of evidence or something and, again, the press offices in the police or government are not mandated to distribute that news.

Licensing. Cisco has an all you can eat distribution license for the codec, so Firefox downloads from Cisco to piggyback on the Cisco license. If Firefox bundled it Mozilla would need a distribution license, and that's expensive.
London itself has a pretty large range for living expenses. Zone 1 is going to be far more expensive for almost everything including even your groceries. If you are willing to commute a little on the tube, your rent and other expenses can be a lot lower. So it's not an easy question to answer because a lot depends on the specifics of what you want.
Except the salaries in Europe, nowhere in Europe can even come close to such a staggering difference like those in SF or NYC.

Do you know what possible fines or other consequences they could be facing? I'm really corious about that.

(this paragraph does not refer to NDPR or Nigeria) I have a general impression that very often the possible fines are far too low and it could be perfectly sound business decision to ignore the security or just keep it to a very minimum. Why spend a lot of money on auditing, improving the software, buying additional infrastructure when the cost of ignoring those and even the probability of anything happening is relatively low. For example why spend hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of dolars on security when the worst thing that could happen is a low fine with a marginal probability of breach happening then being discovered, then being reported, then being investigated and then actually a legal action actually being taken.

My point is that it might actually be a lot cheaper to face the consequences of a breach than to improve security. I'm not sure what could be done to improve that situation.

At the same time complains like the OP is just hypocrisy, since we've spent a lot of money in things we don't need (a simple smartphone) while we can feed a family of the 3rd world for 1/2 year with the same money.

And (not trolling and not personal) I still prefer my pets' lives over yours, as many of the users here would prefer their pets over the life of a random dude on the internet (like mine).
