>I submit to you it's exactly as irrelevant as skin color.

It quite possibly is. No one mentioned anything about skin color except you.

>I submit to you if you take the population that you have described, change only the category from "African American" to another category and nothing else, and kept the same population of people with no other parameters changed, you would not see a change in the violence rate.

This is a non sequitur tautological fallacy. Of course if you kept the population the same nothing would change. This is a poor attempt at strawmaning that still makes no sense.

>Believing that measurable correlation implies causation is one of the major failings that I see often encouraged in the computer science space.

There is no correlation here, it's an indisputable fact. Your major failing is your inability to understand these basic concepts, including correlation/causation because it's not even being used here.

>You made claims about population and then claims about interventions that suggest that the population membership is causal.

It's not a claim, it's a fact. Regardless of the suggestion of causality, YOU ASKED:

Give an example theory, I did. Give an example policy, I did. Now you're moving the goalposts on "suggestions of population membership" which is immaterial to the points I made and proved above.

>What if the causal issue is poverty?

It could be, but it's totally immaterial to the facts I stated above.

Again, it is a FACT that African Americans commit more crimes than Asian Americans.

You can draw theories and propose policy from these basic FACTS, but the facts are not open to interpretation, which is what I claimed and proved above.

>Poverty in the United States is so deeply correlated with being a member of a racial category that it is extremely hard to disambiguate effects that show up in race from effects that show up in income and asset levels. This is what I mean when I say lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Immaterial to the discussion at hand, and may not even be correct, not that it matters.

>Because if the cause is poverty and not "African American culture," then violence interventions for African Americans are like "get your energy level up" interventions for people who are starving.

Makes no sense, and is immaterial to the discussion about the facts.

They are the official ethnic group that is the most violent; if we are to target a specific group for ethnic-centric anti-violence training, the that is the best policy to go with from the basic hard facts laid above.

QED.

>You'll waste good money treating the wrong problem. You'll also miss people that also have the same problem but don't get any intervention because they don't fit the poorly-defined template.

Except by definition it is treating the correct problem, and targeting the correct group. It's not poorly defined, it's fact based.
It's different because it doesn't rely on require() which is non-standard JavaScript.

When our actions can harm others, the government absolutely has the right—and the obligation—to step in.
For me a big strength is Reason's intolerance of null, this has eliminated a great number of bugs for me. Reason React ultimately forces you to think about every permutation of state your component might enter, and develop logic to handle that. JS/TS will never help you with that.

There is nothing remotely dismissive in the (100% accurate) sentiment that small organizations have no need or desire to use large Enterprise-among-Enterprises applications such as SAP.
You’re right to be confused because I’ve never seen a rhyme or reason to it either. I generated a cert using OpenSSL’s command line tools and told Django’s manage.py to use my self-generated cert and it works in Firefox but not Chrome.

It did work in Chrome. And then after an update it didn’t work anymore. I don’t know why and it seems like no one else here does either.
Even when PCs were new (we're talking late 80s), and not really networked there were a ton of small businesses that would buy a business system like TakeOutTaxi and make a go at delivering local restaurant food to homes and businesses. You called a dispatch center on the phone, put in your order, and 20-30 minutes, and greasy magic... BIG MAC! These businesses would often do well if the operator/owner/manager was a 10x hustler. I helped a couple of these get started in the late 80s, and they both did well until the hustler slowed down. Two-sided markets are hard, and two-sided hyperlocal markets are uber-difficult.
The SMS access process never worked after it was introduced in a similar way several years ago now. Google even put some minority groups in significant danger to their safety as a result.

Node v14 supports ESM modules and the import syntax, which is standard Javascript.
This was already the case with generators wasn't it? Worse in that case it depend on the yield statement, which cannot be seen from the function definition.

In fact I'm pretty sure generators and async/await are almost the same feature, with possibly just some additional logic to allow await to suspend computation (so you don't have to write a loop `while not done(): sleep()` manually).
Can I get some more down votes, please? This isn't absurd enough yet.

You'd have to be a buffoon to not take safety for yourself and others seriously. That being said, it's about time people in positions of power woke-up and smelled the Constitution.

Where Is a TLS/SSL Handshake Most Vulnerable?
I thought a lot about it, and it seems as secure as node_modules, because anybody can publish to npm anyway. You can even depend to your non-npm repo (github, urls...) from a npm-based package.

If you want to "feel" as safe, you have import maps in deno, which works like package.json.

Overall, I think Deno is more secure because it cuts the man in the middle (npm) and you can make a npm mirror with low effort, a simple fork will do. Which means you can not only precisely pin which code you want, but also make sure nobody knows you use those packages either.

Take it with an open mind, a new "JSX" or async programming moment. People will hate it, then will start to see the value of this design down the road.
I'm sorry but I just am a little incredulous that a 15 year old would be talking to me about burnout.. or about team conflict. Op have u worked a full time job with other devs and if so for how long?

> Deno runs JavaScript faster than node

Yup, and that's really cool and exciting. My issue isn't with runtime timing. That's not what costs me money. Developer time is what costs money, and every change having to "recompile" my already raw JavaScript costs way more than saving 0.02s at runtime.

>If I may, how did you prep for those chats? What did you .. say when you got there? Read some of their papers and bring followups to their conclusions?

like I said the way to approach this is to try to identify with the person you're pitching to and address their needs/goals.

The most obvious thing is to familiarize yourself with their research because they have research goals. But honestly you don't need to go overboard on this - no one that's not their student yet would be expected to know the research in depth. Pick 3 of their most recent papers, read the abstracts and conclusions and come up with vaguely interesting questions. Again they don't need to be deep they just need to be better than "what learning rate did you use" and more sophisticated than "why did you pick Adam over rmsprop". Obviously extra points if have your own perspective on something (even if it's not earth shatteringly novel). For example my new group works on distributed ML and on my first call I said that I'd always wondered about distributed inference (ie one test sample forward pass distributed across multiple nodes). I didn't have an answer or solution to the problem but it was something they hadn't considered.

The better thing though to discuss is new potential funding directions that you would enable them to avail themselves of. Figuring this out is admittedly tough if you're an undergrad because you don't know what you're good enough at that you could get funding. Again for example in my case I have some computer vision experience and so now my group can plausibly apply for grants at the intersection of distributed systems and CV. I didn't quite discover this intentionally but early conversations broached it organically and I recognized the opportunity to include it in my "pitch".

But even if you don't have some kind of skills alignment like that, the most important thing to stress is that you can independently start and complete projects and you can write/present academic work. That means you can speak in jargon, you know how to display results (plots, comparisons benchmarks, etc), and most importantly you can concisely explain what you've done. I had an unpublished lit review that I sent over as a writing sample.

This is getting a little long so I'll just say something everyone should always keep in mind: you're trying to build a rapport with a person. No matter how smart, successful, elite they are in their area they're not robots they're fleshly people first. Being friendly and funny and getting to know them outside of their research helps immensely (during the meeting not before - that's creepy!)

edit: sorry also another thing you can do is prep by speaking with a grad student and asking them good questions about the research, group, goals, PI, etc. this'll get you comfortable speaking in terms that the PI is certain to relate to.
As it is right now, it would allow access to the internet search and browser history of anyone in the world, without probable cause or a warrant.

But to be clear, this is just a reduction in friction of the previous process which was to just call a judge of a secret FISA court which no one is really allowed to know the details of.

So this is likely just a move to reduce some red tape, and increase data ingress.
I know what your risk-management matrix says, but there's a whole world out there to explore, buddy!
Exactly! So many people are missing that simple point and ok with giving up civil liberties the USA was founded on.
I think the better report to look into will be Lompac(southern california)[1], they have the higher % of infected prisoners, I think its been roughly 70% of the prison population has tested positive for covid. Analyzing these closed systems for a true death rate seems to be the only way we will get decent data regarding mortality. I don't see govt. officials going door to door in cities asking for people to prick their finger to analyze for covid antibodies. A few things to watch out for is prisoner transfers due to extreme sickness, also getting a age distribution for the prison like others have said here, another thing to note is prison food and env. is bad on health.

Thanks for sharing. Do I assume correctly that this tool takes in dividend expectations and not only announced dividends?

Building a portfolio around dividend expectations is definitely useful for many reasons. But predicting dividends is hard. I imagine the dividend payouts for upcoming seasons will be far off previous seasons, and way short of previous analyst forecasts. How do you build or source your forecast levels for this tool, and how do you adjust expectation levels in the light the current economic context?

@dmit, we will have to agree to disagree there; the reality is, only a very few people are using the absolute latest OCaml features. If you look at the Opam package build matrix: http://check.ocamllabs.io/ ... most Opam packages are building against 4.02 to 4.05. And OCaml in 2020 is great but it's still not close to what we need for wider adoption in its chosen native compilation space. BuckleScript/Reason is a different strategy, which actually does seem to be working for that goal.

To solve your issue, you would do exactly how you do your node deployments: download the deps in a folder in CI, then deploy the whole build.

They can make you pay your taxes, but can't restrict your movements in a disease outbreak. I live in Japan, and the government here also does not have the power to legally lock us down (which is why there are only recommendations here -- luckily most people seem to be following them). It strikes me odd, though. There are so many things that the government can legally make you do, many of which seem much less important to me than this. I'm sure there are many people who disagree, but having a conversation over whether or not the government should have this power is not unreasonable IMHO.

Why Haven't Jeffrey Epstein's Associates Been Held Accountable?
So let’s discuss how manipulation was used:

> Declare that there are too many admins and that there needs to be a stricter policy to define who can be an admin.

> Take it on yourself to define (or redefine) that policy and present it to the system owner in your organization. Make sure you fit the new definition and make sure that staple admins are also included.

> No one remembers why you’re admin, but you’re setting the rules now so no one can dispute it. Victory!

What are we even discussing here? This is such a indicator of bad character.
I read it was merely a replacement of something already in, and thus does not need to be returned to the house.
Yeah, the problem with that is that a lot of quasiparticles do follow that intuition (as do anyons except they exist in a 2D world that isn't normally possible to experiment in).

In particular photons travelling through a medium are usually viewed as quasiparticles travelling slower than the speed of light, rather than a complex system of interactions. These particles have exactly the same kinds of behaviour as normal particles, similar to photons except with mass.

I doubt this. It makes no sense to not vote for the amendment irrespective of your vote for the larger bill. In other words, Sanders could vote yes on the amendment and no on the bill.
i'm wondering if they'll end up adding a 'dependencies.json' to eliminate the boilerplate from 'deps.ts' and to simplify tooling. that'd be revolutionary! ;)

jokes aside, i wonder how import-via-url will impact tooling. having to parse arbitrary JS (or even run it, for dynamic imports?) seems like it'd make writing a "list all dependencies" tool much harder than a "dumb" JSON/TOML/whatever file would. though i guess Go does a similar thing, and afaik they're fine

So you have Windows clients that use Microsoft Office, that's most businesses, and you want to move your server infrastructure (AD, GPO, Sharepoint) to the cloud. Where do you go? The easy answer is Azure. But why?

Because getting Microsoft 365 is easy and it gives you not only Windows and Office licenses but also AzureAD and Intune for single sign on and Windows management, a Slack competitor, a Trello competitor, a G Suite competitor, and a few other goodies in a comprehensive package.

So your development team tells you that they want to spin up a few Linux machines on the cloud and they mention Amazon and Google. Why bother with Amazon and Google? I mean, you're already knee deep in Azure and your company just hired an Azure guy and you're familiar with Azure support and billing and your IT guys are getting certified with Azure. At that point a better question is why not host it on Azure?

This was the main issue with the software we used. When it was slow, it would recommend that one driver take three orders to the same area while leaving others in the store with nothing, but when it was busy, it would suggest a driver only take one order even if there was three others in the immediate area and no drivers in the store. It didn't take into account the labor and mileage costs of its decisions. This was also a decade ago, I'm sure the software has been optimized for better results now.

[...] In the majority opinion, Roggensack determined Health Services Secretary Andrea Palm should have issued regulations through a process known as rulemaking, which gives lawmakers veto power over agency policies. [...] GOP lawmakers who brought the lawsuit have said the legal challenge was necessary to get a seat at the table where Evers and state health officials make decisions about how to respond to the outbreak [...]

This is a fairly narrow decision, it only says the legislative must be involved into this.

Alas it did not address the question I had hoped it would - do sheltering rules violate the Bill of Rights?
The question is, if deaths going down isn't the end condition, what is? Surely there has to be some point soon where the legislature gets to determine the laws of the state again.
