The solution to that is not having an "empowered" caste, and leaving it to a community to police themselves.

Everyone tends to get nervous about that though.
In some fields you can probably just put up preprints if they are important enough and get noticed, otherwise I assume the OP meant they are publishing in for profit not open access journals that cost less for the author (via charging everyone else).

Yeah, you were in an unfortunate situation with your graphics card, which the problems stemmed from. Navi support was just added in Linux 5.3 iirc, and that was just the first draft of the drivers. Then for a while you had to use a specialized mesa build from git. A real headache to be sure, but my Navi is now running swimmingly. I'd probably give it another go after the next PopOS release.

Are they messed up though? There are many variants of integration.

There's as many variants of a derivative.

There are also many kinds of measure.

They all have limitations. Usually, the major limitation is handling sparse fields, because most integrals and derivatives do not hail from discrete mathematics.

Cantor's devil staircase is exactly one of those things that bridge discrete mathematics, (mostly discrete) number theory and (mostly continuous) analysis.

Nice write-up, thank you.

Nitpick. What's the point of writing a good guide with rich text and images, but showing end result only in video? I have embedded YouTube videos disabled by default, so it's a little embarrassing.
I never looked into it, but I always wondered what police write down in their note books and how they balance writing enough and listening enough, making sure they don't forget but don't get distracted by the writing process. Maybe it takes practice.

Thanks for leaving this one up. I understand it's not the discourse this site is directly interested in, but the occasional opportunity to debate such issues in an intelligent forum is something I have trouble finding elsewhere on the internet.

I know of one programmer who went from writing software to building cars, rockets and a solar grid. I hear he's doing quite well.
Not an assumption at all. That's from my subjective past experience, from having conducted qualitative research experiences in this area as I interviewed and taught students. I shared that experience in my original reply and would love for anyone else to do the same, referring us to their past experiences even anecdotally, rather than forecasting woe via subjective intuition.

Washington had the USA patient zero.
I am not sure I follow. It's 3 images, so you manually refresh every 5 minutes (maybe that can be automated with meta-refresh so avoiding JS, although I don't see that much advantage over setTimeout?)
But your post said $5500 to get to 20fps. I think that budget would get you to 60 pretty easily.

You shouldn't need anything high end except the GPU, for the rest of the components it would be like hitting 60fps in 1080p.
For the record, having worked at both, this is definitely not true. Amazon and Microsoft have similar pay in many cases looking at levels, and in fact I received more to go to Amazon (and have seen many others do the same), though it clearly happens both ways.

Am I reading this correctly that they are nationally accredited but have not gone through one of the regionals?
Oh give me a break. People are rioting because they are unemployed and have time on their hands and angry and so forth and racist bullshit that they would normally go "meh, another black guy murdered by the cops, business as usual, moving on" about is a good excuse to vent their ire. And it seems to actually be accomplishing a smidgen of good in the long, slow battle against racism in this country.

There are lots of things going right. For example, remote work is a thing and it wasn't a few decades ago. So lots of people are able to work from home.

World War II was a global crisis. So was The Great Depression that preceded it. These were not local phenomenon.

Work on solutions, not on shit stirring. That's how we get out of this.

But, no, most people don't actually want to hear solutions, honestly.
I figured by "one order of magnitude" you were trying to stress how different they were, but then I noticed you were the author of the post that was being refuted.

Beyond an order of magnitude in population, you have the cultural differences: Low usage of public transportation (compared to NYC), strict observation of social norms, comparatively high number of folks who can work from home, etc.
Nationally accredited. Not regionally accredited. Hence useless for academic purposes.
I agree with you wholeheartedly on both points. I even said in my OG comment: "What we really need is a system of accountability and control over police." I know the police aren't well-controlled right now, that's why I was laying out a few ways to improve it! (:

I would say, though, that our US police are more controlled than what's going on in the CHAZ, however slightly in some ways.
This is a thoughtful comment, at the same time, it's some pretty scary postmodernism.

Advocating cheating because it helps a student from possibly lesser means achieve their 'check-box' in education is missing the point, in a very serious way.

We can always strive to have an open mind, to try and be sympathetic to the plight of others - but the Truth is pretty much still the Truth.

Plagiarism is not a controversial subject in the context you've mentioned, it's just wrong in every sense.

More pragmatically - if someone is in a situation wherein their need for the 'checkbox degree' outweighs their actual need to learn something, then they almost assuredly should not be there. It's pointless for society to be spending a lot of energy and resources only for people to waste them, and it ruins the credibility of the system. I'm not unaware of the fact that a lot of Uni may feel like jumping through hoops, but even then, if the hoops are merely jumped through, we're learning something. Uni is not meant to be enlightening at every step, it's also, like everything a grind.

A 'free public Uni' is going to attract a wide swath of students, and there will necessarily be all sorts of issues, probably very low graduation rates, challenges in communicating the material. I totally support the idea, at the same time, we should strive to maintain the credibility of our own ideals and institutions. Universities are there to help develop character, they're not just about 'absorbing data'. In the long run, it's worth it.
Further, any use of eminent domain must be bundled with fair market value compensation for the value of the property being acquired.

I'm up north about the same distance. Only bad days have been this Sun/Mon with all the gas/flash-bangs and the sheriff's plane flying loops over the city until the wee hours of the morning.

Since the police cleared out, everything has been much MUCH nicer around here.
It's not a real CS program. Very clear from their front page description of the program. It looks like an IT degree with a side of Java and some web programming.
I think there's another dimension to this though, which is that IA carries an enormous responsibility that is totally unrelated to this area of their operations but is now put into jeopardy because of it. That's the real moral issue here. They sacrificed bigger-picture priorities that will impact lots of people for years and years to come, for a short-term stunt that affected people for a couple months.
Not sure why you would use this over `ssh -Y`, so I guess it's for Windows users to experience the joy of the "Linux Desktop"?

I just think it’s naive to assume they won’t.

It’s a bit like putting a solid gold bar on your lawn and putting a sign next to it saying ‘please don’t take, this is mine’.
"Peer learning" is implement primarily in two ways at UoPeople.

The first is through discussion forums. We are required to post a response to a discussion prompt each week. We return to write a minimum of three responses to our peers, and we also assess their response on a scale of 0-10.

The idea is that peers will touch on different aspects, extend one another's learning, and engage in further discussion. In reality, we end up getting "great post" responses most of the time and minimal effort put in by our peers. That's not always the case, but it happens enough that I don't think it's actually helpful or a meaningful approach.

The other means is through peer assessment of regular assignments (e.g., 'papers,' programming assignments, etc.). We submit these one week, and then our peers read/study and assess our assignments based on established criteria. Peers are supposed to provide feedback on each aspect and then an overall response.

Again, the idea is that we learn through studying and responding to our peers. In reality, most students make minimal effort. So most of the time my assessment responses are limited to "good job." So, not really beneficial. (I've had a few really good responses, but it's rare.)

As for group work, I'm not aware of any instances of that at the school. (I've had it in graduate courses in the past, and I don't like it.)

I really do not like the "peer learning" system at UoPeople. I think it can work, but I don't think you've done a good job of implementing it. And instructors that I've had to date only have minimal interaction with students. (Though, I don't really need it, so it doesn't concern me much.) I've considered transferring several times, but the idea of paying $1-2k per course at a state school vs. $100 per course at UoPeople doesn't appeal to me. (As I've noted elsewhere, I'm not doing this primarily for the degree. Instead, it's about learning for me.)
I’m currently trying to get into robotics. But why does everyone want c++? Surely robots can be programmed in other languages.

I never understood why pay for delay deals are bad.

It’s basically splitting the difference between two possible scenarios:

Scenario 1: patent is valid, generic drug doesn’t launch for 2 years

Scenario 2: patent is invalid and generic drug can launch immediately

The only reason you see pay for delay deals is when neither scenario is certain. Otherwise, why do a deal?

So they could only be called a “delay” if the patent is invalid. But if the patent was 100% invalid, the generic company wouldn’t negotiate a deal.

Most of the time, pay for “delay” deals get the generic drug on market sooner.

Kudos to you— having started coding QBasic in fifth grade, I definitely needed 3-4 years of undergrad to be ready for my first professional SWE job.
Not true. There are schools which will consider nationally accredited degrees for admissions into graduate schools. Even the University of Chicago will consider them.

However, it's potential utilization is much, much more diminished compared to a no-name state school.

This might change when (if) they acquire regional accreditation, but they've only just started the process. Thus, it could take upwards of 5 years.
I posted this link because, as an noneconomist, I find modern monetary theory intriguing but I don't know how well it would work in practice. If it is indeed viable, why have the issues of deficits and government debt—which the theory seems to claim don't matter—been allowed to dominate the political conversation?
What's funny is, at the time, we thoughts its goals were intangible!

Well, it's easy to be disappointed in all the wasted developer time because copy left. It's transparent.

It's harder not only to be disappointed but to even notice all the wasted developer time because of closed source code because well it's even obscured how can you as a developer benefit from the code.

Not to invalidate your observation, but plagiarism is a hot topic at any college or university. I attended 6 different ones and in all of them it was top or near the top of concerns.
Did you look at the study I referenced?

Compared to Canada, 6 of the 7 most prescribed generic drugs are cheaper in the US.
Not really. It's a story that nationally accredited schools like to tell, but it's not really true.

Regionally accredited schools simply don't take credits from schools that aren't.
>What kind of company can get away with a critical product, such as advertising platform, email services, etc and provide ZERO SUPPORT. Literally they have no customer support that you can contact. This is the behavior of a monopoly.

They're giving away a product to you literally for free, and you're complaining about a lack of support? Do you expect any company to offer you support for free? People have other choices; there are plenty of paid email services, but people pick GMail anyway because it's free. Clearly these people would rather have a free unsupported service than pay for a supported one, who are you to take that choice away from them?

If somebody leaves an old piece of furniture out on the curb for anybody to pick up, do you think the person who takes that furniture home is owed support by the original owner? Free is free; what kind of a sense of entitlement does it take for somebody to expect support for something they're not paying for?

They do actually offer support for their paid services.

I recall Word having a “white text on blue” option for quite a while as comfort to the millions moving over from WordPerfect. Blue backgrounds and Borland themes definitely evoke nostalgia.
Why is this embarrassing? That is incomprehensible to me. You’ve disabled embedded YouTube videos and should not be surprised when content is missing from webpages. Video is the perfect choice for showing off the results, video distribution is hard, and YouTube embedding makes this fairly easy.

Really exciting news!! Great to see the beginnings of the MVP come together.
His statement was very matter of fact.

If students don't bother to do the work, they won't develop any competence in the discipline.

It would be like sending someone for Scala training, only to have them skip all of the work, buy the answers to the quiz, get the accreditation.

University is about much more than 'skill acquisition' but there is a lot of that. Cheating is almost universally pointless.
That is not true at all, considering the recent chaos caused by people who are far left (and far right pretending to be far left, to be clear). BLM has been co-opted by far left people. Not hard to find leaders in that movement who are using it as a means for that. Left anarchists have taken over a section of Seattle and are calling it the "autonomous zone." And mainstream media supports all of this and more.

The entire Democrat party has taken a massive step to the left and shows no signs of stopping that shift. If you don't see the authoritarian tones there then you can't really be looking.
I think GSM security is less relevant than ever, specially in India. More and more people are using Whatsapp and Messenger instead of voice calls. SMS is literally non-existent. Since Whatsapp is end to end encrypted, the carrier/govt simply cannot look at the contents.

PS: I wonder why you'd call one of the world's largest LTE networks "obscure". Number of Jio users is probably comparable to entire population of USA.
If that is indeed the answer (and I don’t think it is), perhaps try to answer the question “why isn’t there a similar movement for D?”
I'm pretty sure chongli is correct about the plain boiled potatoes. How many can you eat before you're sick of them? It's easy to test for yourself, go peel and boil some potatoes right now.
There have been lots of mid-sized political wins for these protests. Breanna's law, Minneapolis defunding it's police, etc. It's sustained distributed action, and some of it is not real (the NYC chokehold ban), but there's still real stuff happening.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Go and Ruby/Rails. I have been a little concerned about putting in a lot of time into learning Rails, since I get the feeling that web dev might be heading more towards Go in the future. If the libraries are mostly far along enough for what I need at this point, I'll probably give Go a try first. Thanks!
This jibes with what I'm seeing. Fox News is trying their damndest to get people worked up and generate support for intervention. Amongst my friends (many right-leaning), there is a strong consensus that this is a trap laid for Trump and that the best thing to do for everybody involved is to ignore it and leave it to the Seattle government. If it really is as chill as folks say here, it settles down and is out of the news cycle in a week. If it gets truly bad, the egg is on the face of the mayor and governor for not dealing with it sooner.
No body has your shit arron
I like the color pallet option you provided showing the primary colors. Adding the colors as facet options would be interesting since you can align each of the colors with the items, then maybe a numeric metric you can use to sort the results by the percent coverage of that color.

Another item to consider is also taking into account how the user might search - "red shoes", then classify the query as "color: red" & "shoes".

The next fun challenge is determining which image to display if you have a variant product (color/size combination for clothing for example). Figuring out which product image to show in the result set requires identifying the primary color in the search.
What in the current crisis ISN’T global?
Personally I appreciate the ability to switch color modes.

I've found that when reading articles or text I like dark text on a white background. So news apps are kept in light mode.

For development i like that darker themes allows me to see the syntax highlighting better. Plus my partner loves the "rainbow text" and knows when I'm working "matrix time" :)

Doesn't that mean spending on Google is profitable? You can simply set a bid limit at less than your customer lifetime value (multiplied by conversion rate) on all channels. If someone outbids you systematically, then your spend in that channel drops to zero. Who cares whether it's Google or anyone else. The right move is to spend on all profitable channels, and if you run out of money, borrow more. Why pass up profit when capital is so cheap?
