Decent, given that the current fatality count is 11 out of 91 passengers and an unspecified number of crew.

Certainly the fatality count will rise, but with modern planes survival tends to be more about escaping the post crash fire. If >50% of the passengers and crew live, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
I think the really question here is, what is the motivation for corporations to make this type of shift? History shows us it often isn’t to do what’s best for workers in the long-run.
The world is distracted. Even more important, I believe: coronavirus lockdown and demonstrations are antithetical.

If people demonstrate, the tools needed for public health can be used to silence the voice of the people.

It is a cowardly move to permanently alter governmental fundamentals during a time of crisis.
It's not normal, on a global level, to have agents of a totalitarian dictatorship patrolling a city which is (ostensibly) a democracy, whose citizens were been promised political freedoms, further guaranteed by international treaty obligations.

It is, however, normal in the sense that it is a clear part of the trend in the China / Hong Kong situation — a trend towards ever-increasing political oppression.
In my opinion this was not good. Basic was considered harmful and was possibly the first computer thing to be considered harmful. Line numbers, REM statements, the GOTO statement and much else had to be unlearned by anyone moving on to a professional set of programming tools.

At the time we felt enabled rather than held back. But many Microsoft products were like that. The OS on a BBC micro was far ahead of DOS. Then the whole concept of the personal computer took hold even though we had already seen networking. Then the browser wars.

Now we learn that Linux is to be in Windows good and proper. So we are getting there in the end.

> why differential forms themselves are supposed to be important

This concern means that you are looking at it backwards. Often, it happens in the opposite sense. You will find some problems that are hard to model or understand. Then, you realize that with quite a lot of effort you might be able to tackle them. And then, you learn about differential forms and see how they allow to express your problem very clearly and its solution becomes sort of immediate.

There is nothing mysterious about differential forms from the point of view of physics, but pure math texts often take this intuition for granted. If you are used to working with scalar and vector fields in space , you may realize that there are different kinds of each:

Examples of scalar fields:

(1) a potential
(2) a density

Examples of vector fields:

(3) a velocity field
(4) a flow
(5) the gradient of a substance
(6) the field of normal vectors on a surface
(7) the field of tangent vectors to a curve
(8) a field of "surface elements" filling the whole space

This list includes all particular cases of vector fields and differential forms of all orders on R^3 and on its sub-manifolds.

If you know the least amount of physics, you will realize that you can do some kind of integrals on these objects, but not all of them. For example, in the case of scalar fields, you can integrate a density over a domain, or you can evaluate a potential at one point (or more often, the difference of potential between two points). Thus, potentials are 0-forms and densities are 3-forms. And a similar reasoning for the vector fields, and 1-forms and 2-forms.

They had the same problem with Paris when Apple released the version of OS X that introduced widgets (was it 10.4 aka Tiger?). In their demo there were screenshots with the weather widget set to Paris and showing it will be sunny all week long. That's what tickled me. And indeed, "Paris" was equivalent to "Paris, Texas" for the weather widget.

So you are saying that if you first trained it on a different game with similar real-world mechanics, then training it on this game would require far fewer iterations?
Like California is a state in USA where FBI and national security agencies can operate, Hong Kong is a province of China with some exemptions, and one of the exemptions is changed, where Chinese security agencies can operate on Chinese cities and provinces.

I believe this would not have happened if people did not start desecrating the Chinese flag, and on top carry colonial ruler and US flags to protest against China, in their own country. I have yet to see an example in a democratic nation where population can take a flag of another country or a colonial ruler in protest against their own country, and government will seat silently.

If people or so much against China, I hope similar disdain should be there for India, which also falls under the same group. India unilaterally without the involvement of people of Kashmir changed the status quo and in the process suppressed them with military force and is ongoing, the suppression is much worse than the freedoms Hong Kong still enjoy compared to Kashmiris and Kashmir.

The actions where unilateral decisions are taken should be criticised, but than should act with same fervour for anyone who does it, be it democracy or meritocracy (like China and Singapore system).
> It's because the software industry doesn't respect experience

Untrue.

They go and found their own companies.

Silicon valley literally started off with a engineer-manager who left Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in 1957 to found Fairchild Semiconductor, because William Shockley, while a brilliant academic, was authoritarian and just sucked at managing people.

On the other hand, if the point you are making, is that the software industry simply has to respect experience because a lot of blood, sweat, tears and divorces were weathered by these engineers as they got manipulated and brainwashed - no.

Yes, it sucks that these engineers got manipulated and brainwashed but now they have the experience to detect manipulation and brainwashing and the divorces and health issues were the price they paid to gain this experience.

In summary - the best way to get the value you deserve is to start your own thing. Otherwise, complain all one wants but they will get the minimum someone else can get away with giving.

Everyone wants what is best for them, even your manager and the company they work for, which includes paying as little as possible for the labor they get.

The difference is called profit.
Indeed! Is it so hard to just state where you're willing to ship upfront? The worse is when they later send you emails because you "left something behind".
I don't buy that anymore. There's a multitude of ways to improve Siri while respecting privacy. Apple doesn't have to go the Google way to improve.

Apple knows a ton about me, they have realtime access to my email, calendar, contacts etc. If they have guarded access, then I would accept a toggle. A lot of Siri processing happens locally on the device nowadays, which could be why the Watch, Mac, iPhone and Homepod all can give wildly different results.

Also, Apple could train it themselves, they possibly do, except we haven't gotten an update yet. A large portion of my personal training data could be stored in iCloud, I mean my passwords, mail, documents and my photos are there, right? The analysis of my voice data is sent to Apple anyway.
First, health crises spreading everywhere.

Then, almost simultaneously, economic crises spreading everywhere... but luckily for everyone, governments around the planet step in to keep it from getting worse.

Then, an incipient financial shock everywhere... but luckily for everyone, governments and organizations around the planet flood the financial system with liquidity, to maintain financial stability.

Now, I read this, and all I can think it is, let's hope we will not see geopolitical crises too.

Does MongoDB still use multi-maps? That is, can a map still have multiple of the same key? This led to a very tricky bug at my last place of work, where the MongoDB Ruby client would see different values than the Python client. It's not a problem with MongoDB, per se, but many of the clients assume Mongo stores maps, when it really stores multi-maps. And it did hurt my opinion of the database seeing that most of its users we're not actually aware of the data structure it was based on.

Why are you okay with working for a company to begin with? Presumably, whatever they pay you (perhaps your current high salary at the expensive place, perhaps even maintaining your high salary after you move to a cheaper place) is still less than the value they extract from you (most employees would like to think they "provide value").

One should think of any employment as just a temporary situation. At the moment, your life situation causes you to make the risk/reward calculation that you're willing to let a company capture some of the value you provide in exchange for steady income. Your goal should be to save enough out of that steady income so that the risk/reward calculus shifts in favor of leaving the company, working for yourself, and capturing all of the value that you provide the world.

Hi, in the UK we have the Citizens Advice Bureau. It can help with a lot of financial and legal questions/problems you have.

It is generally very good, and I would highly recommend you read their website and talk to them first. Someone else has already posted the link and it sounds like you should get the acas thing going asap.

Generally speaking in the UK not paying employees is a really big no-no.

What's even worse is he could have furloughed you all weeks ago and have the government pay you all, and he instead kept going without the cash to pay, so it sounds like he doesn't give a shit about any of you.

Do not trust any promise he makes, anything verbally agreed you should summarise and email him from a personal email address you control, confirming what was said and agreed.

Case 1: Your assertion is correct. The system works as intended and bans decrease.

Case 2: Your assertion is incorrect. There is some other reason for making a throwaway (like talking about a former employer, for example) and the system works as intended. The throwaway doesn't get banned and nobody gets their account demoted.

Also these demotions could have a time element to them, where you can't invite someone new for, say, a year.

While AWW has been around for some time we've seen a big surge (~6x) in the past two months due to current situation (as did most online/collaborative tools).

While AWW can be used directly on site, we also have an embeddable version, for example some interviewing startups use us as part of their web-based interviewing workflows.

Edit to add: AWW was launched here almost 10 years ago as a hobby project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2886353 It grew steadily over time and now profitably employs several people and is used by millions of people worldwide.
Hopefully a professional chimes in but I believe it does imply that he ate it all. Your example isn't one to one because you refer to it as "I ate chili" instead of "I ate it". Same way people wouldn't be confused if he had said, "He ate Salmon that night but" .

Similar examples:
I painted it last night. (Painted a painting)
I beat it last night. (Beat a game)
I ran it last year. (Ran a marathon)

"Where's the chili?" "Oh, I ate it last night, sorry." (Ate the chili)

"Mmm, this chili is good, isn't it?" "Sure is, I had some last night." (Ate some of the chili)
"Hong Kong is only part of China because the CCP agreed to the terms of the Sino-British Joint Declaration"

It isn't true the "only" reason Hong Kong is a part of the PRC is because they agreed to that declaration. This agreement was made because PRC could unilaterally annex Hong Kong at anytime.

If IBM owns stock of itself then it can use that stock in lieu of cash to make acquisitions, hires, and bonuses.

A few times a year I might wake up in the middle of the night and — at first glance — perceive a goblin sitting on a nearby chair. As more of me wakes up, I realise it’s a pile of my clothes.

Now I’m learning German, I have the experience of listening to a conversation in German, thinking I’ve heard a particular word, asking the locals what it means, and finding neither of them noticed that word being used — but I genuinely hear the unspoken word, so I know a pre-conscious part of my mind is filtering all the German I hear through a vocabulary which is too small.

My mother has Alzheimer’s, and one of the bigger surprises was realising quite how many reality-models we have by way of her losing them at different times. When I was caring for her, star jumps terrified her, she forgot what windows look like at night and how to count past 5, and she lost both object permanence and the concept of left: https://kitsunesoftware.wordpress.com/2018/01/31/alzheimers/

One of the advantages of having a model of the world is it allows you to predict the future.

The only disadvantage I can think of is that it is comparable to branch prediction failure in a pipelined CPU — for example it can be very tempting to apply that to fellow minds, and when those minds don’t think like you, you can annoy them no end by telling them (implicitly or explicitly) that you know better than they do what they do and don’t want. Or you might become convinced that wearing lucky pants causes your sports team to win/your lottery numbers to come up. Or etc.

This is how Xi thinks. He let those protests go unchecked on purpose. A boa constrictor always let's it's pray relax before it begins crushing it's bones.
I think causation flows the other way. Xi’s regime is facing its first slowdown. Protesters in Hong Kong have morphed from a curiosity to an existential threat to his regime’s power. That changes the relative weight of its national-security threat versus economic value.

Given the world’s muted reaction to Beijing’s hard-handed tactics pre-COVID, it’s difficult to imagine they played a significant role here.
Sort of. They're capable of analytics, but Metabase is a Business Intelligence tool, and Posthog is focused on user interaction/website analytics.

It's like Tableau vs Mixpanel/Amplitude.

What are the alternatives to the training that is provided in top MBA colleges?
I see a lot of folks from top MBA collages around me and there are a lot of similarities between them. I won't say that they are smarter than me but I can definitely say that they are more polished and have great structured thinking. Their communication skills are on point and the PPT's they make are airtight. I can definitely attribute this to the regimented training provided in top MBA colleges and consulting firms.
All these things make me wanna do an MBA just for this training and structure. But the MBA's cost a lot of time and money.
So I came here to ask for the best alternatives to this kind of training and structured thinking. What can I do to achieve this all the skills mentioned above in a short amount of time?
That is an outright lie. I’ve seen IBM data centers.

The most basic googling will show this is a lie.
It might. My understanding is, it is common to take trained models from one problem and use parts of them on other problems in a similar domain to speed up training.
Is this the same information on the "built for mars" website? https://builtformars.co.uk/banks/

I think the summary is that the challenger banks are better because they have been built from the ground up to have a good user experience. The only problem is that great user experience comes at a cost: the development and running costs are expensive and good user experience can hinder the ability to up-sell to the products that make traditional banks the most money.
China’s Tighter Grip on Hong Kong Shakes City’s Business World
Linear types and uniqueness typing are so close together that people often mix them up. Yes, that's basically what I am talking about.

For general usage monads are much easier to deal with than Clean's "pass around the world" system. (I only used Clean for a bit, but haven't used Miranda, yet.) However, linear types for Haskell have been in the works for some time. See eg https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/dpr276/what_is_the...

(Similarly, GHC now support strict Haskell, too, on a per module basis.)

Uniqueness typing shines when you want to split up your 'real-world' object, so you can eg manipulate individual memory cells or ports etc independently.

Rust goes into unsafe mode for multiple reasons. You could eliminate most of those, if you were willing to take the complexity of dependent types. Ie more or less that means the programmer taking on a greater burden of proving code to be safe to the compiler; instead of relying on Rust's more automatic but conservative system.
