I have felt that there’s circular reasoning going on with fMRI results, where the parts of the brain light up for something, showing that the process is in that part of the brain, and then they light up again with something else, which shows that thing is the same process.
I've saved your Notion curriculum, and intend to run a program like this soon in my local community. Very inspiring project, and awesome end result. Thank you for your contribution to this area.
Yeah, police really should have chosen a better time to murder someone on film and then have authorities ignore it for days. Protesters should go home to avoid spreading disease. They can resume protesting the next time an officer kills someone for the crime of having the wrong skin color. It will surely happen again soon.
Imagine the FCC being your CI.

Yes they are issued by the cities (so pictures and fingerprints are taken there) but are of course created by the interior ministry, not by the cities themselves as far as I know. Same for the national IDs.

Are there particular evidence of fraud ? It's the second time I see this comment recently.
Belgium has the Registre National where everything is centrally stored (including passport data, you can see all passports and IDs issued in your name there for instance), it's not totally a city-by-city thing.
I don't understand why "vote harvesting" has to do with it. My understanding is that the delay is because of mail in voting. Because the votes were cast by mail, they arrive even after the election. The people who use mail in voting are the ones that due to work can't afford being in line for few hours, i.e. most of the working class.
I graduated college despite historical oppression and system racism. My access to capital is due to the color of my skin.
Why you should measure tail latencies
As a former domain registrar, I would get the authcode, unlock the domains, and transfer them away as soon as possible. It's been a while since I read the RAA (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-20...), but it's rather extraordinary to put a domain on clientHold, which is what I assume they did to you, outside of non-payment or some kind of legal dispute.
Or it could end up like the Chinese GPS, as in phones in China can use it but outside no one cares.

Phones and devices can support that, but if outside China, it has no one to talk to.

Though, even in that case it can lead to backdoors.
I don't think that Loon has all of its eggs in the balloon basket. They're interested in satellites as well:

The international community persuaded Ukraine to give up their nukes in return for a guarantee of safety. Which turned out to be worthless.
Our decision behind JavaScript:

We want our students to understand technology at a conceptual level first, end to end:

1. Client side - Mobile, web, terminal
2. Server side - Database interactions, system design and optimization
3. Batch - ML models and scripting

AFAIK, JavaScript is the only language that is able to cover everything end to end (front end to backend to scripting to even ML) so I'm able to come up with appropriate exercises for each of the moving parts.

Afterwards, they should pickup domain specific language that optimizes for each task.

I think it may be too overwhelming for students to learn different languages and learn the high level concepts at the same time.
I'm skeptical of molecular dynamics and docking studies... but the ability to clearly resolve bound drug molecules, or host-pathogen interactions, is very valuable indeed.
I took some time to review something that was "authoritative" from 50 years ago, and yes, the carry-over to the modern times is not great. Does it make me weak to question it ?

I am purposefully not "self-assured" but rather, looking into the topic. As a learner, why would I not question the contents I found?

The textbook leaves no room for alternative -- in fact, the tone and presentation of the textbook is that the topic is settled, and the math is "best".
>if your demographic gets stopped ten times more than others, then your demographic will die at ten times the rate

I reserve considerable respect for the people who continue with this line of thought. Unfortunately, few have the courage or authenticity to claim it, including the author here.

Of course we all know why. But we choose to let our grandchildren's homelands burn than to acknowledge the shattered fantasy of multiracial harmony.
This guy calls himself the father of the $15 minimum wage, which tells you all you need to know of what level of knowledge he is working with. There are much better sources for left wing economics than this rich band wagoner.
Likewise your very comment can be dismissed as a kid crying (You are just jealous he's getting more attention than you).

If you don't respect the right of others to speak out, don't expect your opinions to be respected in turn.
Reducing employee wages doesn't make each employee poorer and Bezos richer? Wow you'll have to show me how you did that math.
Here's the official chart for continuing claims that the article references.

"Sharing one's energy and expertise with others" has become a lot easier post-Internet. Software engineers are just ahead of the curve, and math/physics/other "hard" sciences are not far behind (see e.g. ArXiV.org)
The study in question does adjust for long-term health conditions: https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/5-75
> Software engineering must be one of the few professions where individuals freely share their energy and expertise with others.

I would drop the "software" and just keep the engineering.

I also think it's important that it's virtually free to practice software engineering. All you need is a computer and your spare time.
Why not let a fool be a fool? Why hide what someone is? All that does is create mystique about him.

"Social media is a not a public square where people can plant their soapbox, it is a set of privately owned servers where people can persist small amounts of data that comply with a set of rules. "

Certainly that is how it started.

But the de facto power of social media's censorship and dominance in discourse will eventually bring government to regulate social media so as to preserve free speech.
I had one taken ten years ago with a Polaroid camera. It ended up overexposed and barely legible but it was still accepted.
There can be more than one truth valid at any given point:

* The wealth was not taken from those children. At the limit, those children can just fuck off and die in the street of starvation, it's not like they have too many useful skills to offer to society anyways.

* We have an ingrained tribal expectation that the tribe will take care of all its members to some degree, within the available resources. Driven by the game theoretical proposition that tribes that fail to do so will find their human resources and social cohesion depleted and be easily torn apart by rival tribes. By now integrated in our genetic heritage.

One only need look into the streets [or at Twitter] to see that we are incapable of having any nuanced conversation anymore. It's either 100% A or 100% B. If you dare explore a balance, both sides will rip you apart for lack of ideological purity.
Nice job. I'll take a look at your project and see if I can contrib
Well. 1st one to the door (selling artificially inflated assets) does not guarantee success.

I'm sure many/most landlords are still rooted in reality and are still using the infamous investing formula of "where there are losers, there are winners" (aka buy low, sell high).
In theory it is, in reality there is discretization of the signal and noise
Of the multiple reports I've heard of the list of measures put in place, I can't imagine 99% or more of businesses going as far as they have.

You can certainly argue that they aren't going far enough. I'm not debating that one way or the other. I'm only arguing that what they have done is far more than I would expect of any business for functions where employees cannot perform their job remotely.

FTA:

> Amazon is spending more than $800 million on coronavirus safety in this year’s first half, including cleaning, temperature checks and face masks.

$800 million is a significant amount and proportionally more than I would expect most businesses to spend, plus Amazon has the benefit at being a technology company that is good at automating/scaling solutions, so that amount of money will go further than what most businesses can pull off dollar for dollar.
Well that’s how they got the Challenger disaster.

Reused booster ruptured under improper launch criteria revised for management and public relations reasons.

Would it have been okay if it weren’t for the wrong go? Maybe, but still the potato quality refurbishment of flown boosters could have done it sooner or later.
> Net neutrality means all network packages are treated equally while they are delivered.

I was wondering what they meant by "...if net neutrality had passed", which seemed to indicate a particular legal implementation of the principle you described above.
My understanding is that resolution is still an issue.
When I was at this stage, I tried dvorak, colemak, workman, and norman.

I got sick of typing ls -l with my pinky, so I decided against Dvorak.

I really liked the feel of digraphs in workman and norman.

In the end, I decided I didn't like the h placement in Norman.

After typing with workman for a few years, I'm very glad I learned. Every time I type, I am reminded how much more comfortable it is.

I would recommend you look at what's available, and choose whatever one you like best.

If you are on the fence about two or three, just start learning all of them, and drop the ones you don't like.
Parables and Allegories
A quick run through online dev meetups tools: meetup, eventbrite, Facebook, etc.
Somewhere in the FCC filings there's a NASA ODAR report on Starlink. The typical standard used is that the odds of death or injury when something reenters stay below 1 in 10,000. However I wouldn't be surprised if that gets adjusted in the future. Within a few years we will see constellations that are so large that statistically speaking they would be allowed to kill a few people
Python is not on the roadmap, but SQL is. In fact, another student project is a website where users can go to quickly create accounts for different databases (NOSQL, SQL, and Graph databases) and be able to experiment with them through interactive tutorials.

Imagine someone believing this and being considered smart because they work in tech.
> There is no brutality in that video

Putting someone into a headlock and dragging them around by their neck when that person had not initiated violence is brutality. And that person clearly did not initiate violence.

> The officers wraps his arm around the kid

Sure, a gentle loving caress around the neck, and then a gentle loving pull by the neck, and then gently and lovingly putting him to the ground by the neck.

> There are videos of actual violence.

Both are videos of actual violence. Thank you for sharing that one.
I think the entire world would be much better off without Bezos, we should pay him 0 and redistribute all of his wealth. By your arithmetic he may be "infinitely valuable," but from my stance he's infinitely worthless.
I'd love to help out but my programming experience is limited. Use zim-wiki all the time on both Linux and Windows. It's one of the best note taking programs out there.
I'm sorry but I don't believe that you are engaging in good faith. If you are serious about discussing this I can answer your question, but from your comment history and your new account I don't see any value in even trying.
At least the H2 vent access arm can be visually verified retracted :p
We did shut down in Sweden. It's a myth that needs to be debunked. I (and many others) have been working from home for several months now. All events (like sports, cinemas) have been postponed or canceled. Most people in larger cities are ordering groceries and stuffs online. Sweden is a very digital, even cashless society. Sure, it's open in some ways but many stores are shutting down because everything have went digital.
Not really: a paper trail and a process that requires the photographer to be knowingly and provably complicit would already create a pretty high barrier. Not an insurmountably high barrier, but no amount of vetting could.
I agree that it is a dangerous situation and also want to protect lives and the rights of citizens.

Are safety and the right to peacefully assemble so at odds?

The national guard protecting the lives and rights of its citizens is a far cry from being dominated as a part of a battle space.

If we consider that there may be substance to other viewpoints as opposed to only opposition to our own we could work at addressing some of the root or common goals instead of focusing on division.

Why don’t states and or citizens feel comfortable utilizing the national guard?

Is it reasonable to fear an escalation which may place the American people and their constitutional rights in jeopardy?

Are there approaches that would deescalate the situation that should be favored over those which risk even greater division (in particular between the citizens and the military )?
If a child isn't old enough to comprehend and deal with most of the internet, then they should not have access to it or only with someone to teach them.

In my opinion, the web is a tool and should be learned like a powersaw or a drill.

I would just be annoyed if I had to answer 127 * 4 on my phone and would leave the site, because it is a ergonomic hurdle to something that I'm just mildly curious about.
I think you are too highly tying a developer to a specific technology.

Asking which one you are closer tied to reveals some inexperience in your product management role. Yes there is always a cost to finding new developers and having them ramp up on the codebase. And some of this can be mitigated by hiring developers who are familiar with the stack you've chosen. However the ROI you will get hiring a good developer who needs to learn your stack is much higher vs a mediocre developer who is familiar with your stack.
Not sure why this is surprising as most people who are out of work don't have any equity in the stock market. I think it's more a reflection of income inequality and the concentration of capital. There is a huge disconnect indeed.
Register in the UK and then move to the EU and it keeps working just fine. It's not like you need nearby branches...
You still have a discontinuity, you've just moved it from the antemeridian (+/-180 degrees) to the prime meridian (0 degrees). The issue isn't the sign, it's the wrapping.

In a lot of ways, this is actually worse. Lots of software can ignore problems posed by antemeridian-crossing geometries because in practice, not that many people encounter them (not many people live there). This would move any problems to the middle of the UK, plus a good chunk of west Africa.
Coverity is great, but I don't want to move to the US, do you have a team in europe?
Learning Sales as a Technical Founder
Yes, and yes there are, and many are worth the brain bending to get them absorbed, and the brain bending is different for each.

Speaking personally, having worked at one level or another with, looks like, 48 of the top 50 TIOBE languages over 30+ years (lacking OpenEdge ABL and ABAP) and about a third of the next 50 (where Clojure resides), Clojure is near the top of the list for me in terms of brain-bending value.
yes, free forever.
We developers sometimes struggle with the distinction. The point of laws and regulations is usually not to make fraud technically impossible, but increase the cost and/or risk of getting caught. People still use locks on doors even though they are easy to pick.

In the name is not the same as having profits.
A company may threaten with disciplinary dismissal which in theory could diminish your prospects on the job market. I never heard of this being an actual problem (unless your position requires background checks) but maybe I just work in an industry that doesn't care about this stuff.
We didn't have 7.6 billion people on the planet 100 years ago. 100 years ago in 1920, the world population was approximately 102 million. It's beyond naive to think that the systems from 100 years ago are capable of supporting the needs of 7.6 billion people. Besides the challenge of feeding people without rampant deforestation, you can say goodbye to most of modern medicine. The tech and knowledge won't go away, but the ability to deliver those goods and services will be greatly hindered.
Confirmed. I've worked with structures at close to sub-atomic resolution (0.8Å), where you can even see the "deformation" of hydrogen bonds and lone pairs in the electron density. But the actual information we have is simply a grid of electron density values averaged over an entire crystal.
> Especially since many police officers are PoC themselves, and apparently they kill more PoC than white police officers.

Because they're police officers. It is and always has been the mandate of US police forces to violently repress non-whites, particularly Black people. The skin color of the cop doesn't change the function. Racism is not 'a white person did something mean to a non-white person'.
The main booster (all three of them) were attached to the orbiter and were re-used, though not without refurbishment. (Falcon 9 is also refurbished after each launch).
A StarLink style satellite array actually has good latency even when compared to traditional fiber networks[1].

I recall some calculations that showed a decrease in latency over long distances because light travels slightly faster in a vacuum, there are fewer intermediate nodes over that distance, and a more direct path can be used than in our existing wired networks.

The biggest issue with current satellite connections is that the satellites are in geostationary orbits which imposes a minimum theoretical latency of something like half a second. It's physically impossible to send signals any faster[2].

The counter is it's also risky to use a company that only does Domain Registration since it's a very low margin business and thus the risk for them shuttering is higher -- or they'll try to make it up with various erroneous fees

I know the concern of putting all your eggs in one basket is real, but since CF's business is literally to take over your domain DNS and slap on some add-on services, adding domain registration in-house seems like a good fit.
That's not enough to power Germany, for example. To de-carbonize our electricity production completely, we need some yet to be determined additional energy storage mechanism.

Power-to-gas would work very well if we can make it efficient enough (and control potential gas leaks), because a lot of the infrastructure is already in place.

If that doesn't pan out, there's other technology that sounds promising (cryogenic energy storage, perhaps?), but in any case, there's still research to be done...
This strikes me as ridiculously paranoid. Are you worried that a JPG/PNG contains the original non-blurred picture or something?

Nevermind the fact that in your examples, the physical originals can be stolen before you have a chance to redact/blur them, or your blurring done by hand isn't good enough and you can get the original by increasing contrast or whatever.

Balloons don't cost a million dollars to launch.

Balloons can be concentrated in the areas where they are needed most. The nature of non-geosynchronous orbital planes is you end up having to distribute satellites roughly uniformly around the earth (you get non-uniform effects with latitude but in very limited ways).

Balloons can be brought down and be serviced, satellites are basically throw it up there and replace it when it breaks.

Google already has experience with being an ISP with fiber and fi.

I tend to agree that starlink is winning, but balloons do have some advantages.
Ahh yes, only the people that "deserve it" are subject to extrajudicial threats of violence by the police and lunatics on the internet with lots of guns and too much free time.

Don't play the game of trying shift the focus on what the victim did do "deserve" fearing for their life. If someone, anyone at all, is threatened or harassed they are a victim. They can also be a shitty person but these don't cancel each other out.

The truth is that the people who get harassed and doxxed are fairly arbitrary and have more to do with whatever unlucky soul the host decides to pick on that day rather than any kind of rational process. Trying to figure out how internet bullies choose their targets won't get you a satisfying answer other than "people who look like an easy target to be make fun of."

I'm sorry, is this showing a _causal_ relationship between political bias and perceptions of reality? The headline and article make it sound like that, but it could just as easily be that your perception of reality causes your political bias. Or that some other thing causes both of them.

I can't see the paper to be sure because it's behind a paywall.
That would be interesting.

That being said, RSI isn't there only reason to use an alternate layout.

No: it is a simulation, because it is a discretization and the map can be injective (or “almost so”).
