It is the UK. I know that probably in some jurisdictions some of these clauses are unenforceable. I just don't want to step in a legal mess. I know a friend of mine (in France btw) had to argue with his company about this even though he obtained a verbal agreement beforehand. It is just that he was about to quit and the employer decided to fuck with him as much as possible.

Have you considered that useful predictive models for reality are simply irreducible to being comprehensible by swollen savannah monkey brains? It's not magic. It simply cannot both be explained to a human and be worth anything.

This comment would appear to be a paradigmatic example of non-nuanced. Neither of those people is anti-trans except according to a narrowly doctrinaire definition. Pluckrose is a left-liberal who writes against critical theory and identity politics from a universalist liberal perspective. She has repeatedly written in defense of trans and gay rights, although she does not believe that "trans women can be accepted straightforwardly as women in every situation". Stock is a feminist philosopher who regards gender self-identity as potentially harmful to the interests of women. Both of these are reasonable and nuanced positions that can't be adequately summarized as "anti-trans" whether or not you agree with them.
https://benmaps.fr/ is an example of using mapbox components (which in turn use OSM data) to create a Google Maps app.
You've hit on the central conundrum with OSM: it's a good enough proposition to make it interesting (free as in beer for many uses, acceptably accurate in many places etc), but a long long way from being a reliable, authoritative single source of truth. Which - let's be honest - is often true of Wikipedia as well, moderators notwithstanding.

Improving OSM is an area of active research I believe, but I'd suggest the scale of the challenge is of a different magnitude than can be met by the type of ideas you mention. Think about something like Google Maps, or in the UK OS MasterMap. Each of these likely has hundreds of millions of R&D invested in tools, techniques, processes and infrastructure behind them, as well as an ongoing budget in the hundreds of millions, and numerous, well organised, skilled, full time staff. There's a critical mass behind such efforts that as yet OpenStreetMap has not been able to muster, which is no criticism of OSM, but just an acknowledgement of the reality of the situation. We're talking about setups that take dedicated organisations years to develop - the history of the Ordnance Survey for example goes back to 1747!
I might be characterizing the nomenclature improperly, all I know is that I'm running a handful of processes that are critical to my work and things are hung up constantly on a machine that is dated 2018. Shrugs
While not impossible, discussion on problems as they play out in practice rather than in theory (in theory we don't have racism after all), we tend to not have statistics or not the right statistics (we're not measuring the things that would show the issue). Then, the best way to be informed is first hand accounts, which white people naturally wont have. First hand accounts serve as a ground truth when statistics are insufficient, and as such, I don't see how you can have a very informed exchange without them. Now you may read up on those account, but far more often than not, I see white people point to the absence of racism in a statistic and take it as proof it does not exist, or is so uncommon it doesn't show up. That is the problem that is avoided when including (people who telling their) first hand accounts.
> Just out of curiosity. How has Kahn done in your opinion.

Mixed feelings. He cleaned up the state... a bit. People rightfully raise his, and his officers' lacklustre execution skills. Just like two previous establishments, Khan too bogged down in networks of local elites, and old money people with whom he did horsetrading in order for PTI to come to power. At least, unlike the previous leaders, he recognises it as a problem.

He came to power on the promise of undoing the system of clan elites dominating the country, but that's kind of hard to do when your own lieutenants, and backers are made of the same elites...

Pakistan is effectively split in between three huge ethnocentric elites, Sindhi/Seraiki Bhutto dynasty, Punjabi Sharif, and Pathan Khan. Pathan elites were prominent with military, hence Khan's coming to power. And there is a strong statist culture, where state companies used to provide the most lucrative jobs in the country. And there is a culture where people believe that being made a boss is a fully legitimate entitlement to run a state company/ministry/corporate unit like a family business, and there is nothing wrong with that.

A huge generational struggle is happening with people who want to end it vs. ones who don't.

The a massive brain drain that Pakistan experienced after Zia's coup, and mass immigration of anybody of talent will take years to reverse, and undo the negative selection effect.
Sir, this is not a reddit left wing sub.
OSM has only been running since 2004; tiles have never been served from d.tile.openstreetmap.org; and just because a volunteer-funded project doesn't want to provide you with unlimited free ponies/tiles doesn't mean the project is dying.

There is a regular issue where once a particular forum tips beyond a certain point in either direction, you steadily start to lose people from the 'other side' who are well worth keeping but increasingly feel unwelcome.

The SSC comments section suffered this in terms of tipping to the right, and Scott ended up stepping up enforcement of borderline-against-the-rules right wing posts and stepping down enforcement of borderline-against-the-rules left wing posts to try and avoid the discussion becoming completely one sided.

It seems we aren't going to found out how well that would've worked in the long run, sadly.

The final authority in flying an airplane safely is always in the hands of the pilot. The pilot is always responsible. ATC may not have all the information, not know specifics of the aircraft or this specific flight. It is just not practical to have procedures where the ATC is the final authority for every single flight, with all the various different airplanes, so the pilot always is.
I have a friend working in France for a software company and his contract does have something along the lines of "everything you do belongs to us".

As the paper I quote below says, the system that would result from this project could be re-used in many other tasks, one of which is generating data for machine translation algorithms.

I think this makes sense. The project aims to create a program, basically ("a set of functions"). There are, intuitively, more uses for a proram than for a set of labelled data.

There is a MUCH greater desire to disprove the Bible than to prove it.

Aside from the fame and financial interest, the personal belief of almost everyone I met is anti religious. (With the exception of Vindl Jones, but his interests are ... not archeology)

I therefor would be much more suspect of a claim disproving than proving the Biblical narative. But in either case, check the facts, not the names.

Is common crawl usable in this context? http://commoncrawl.org/
What's ironic to me is that oftentimes those same companies looking at side projects to judge how "passionate" one is are the ones that expect their employees to "give everything" while on the job, presumably going as far as neglecting their side projects.
I used Hugin to stitch a bunch of building site blueprints just last week. It was painful... just very unintuitive and hard to grasp. Very powerful software though. Just keep in mind it was built to stitch panorama photos, compensate for lens deformation, point of view, etc.

Stitching flatbed scans is not the best use case for Hugin and it shows.

I used the same tutorial linked by Op

Time-in-practice is still correlated with skill. If I'm getting someone with "4 years of experience", a person who works on side projects could have 10,000 hours in-practice, vs only 5,000 for someone who doesn't.

I understand not exclusively focusing on people who work on their own to the exclusion of everyone else, but I definitely don't understand this modern push to ignore it as a signal completely. People who don't work side projects are going to need more years of experience to have the same level of practice as those who do.

And frankly, I've been involved in a lot of hiring, and I've yet to see these people who A) don't work on side projects, but B) are actually skilled in their jobs. We give them interviews and it becomes clear they hid in large, ossified, megacorporate teams. They know the one way to do things that is the one template of work they've ever been hired to do, because that is the only experience they have.

If that's your environment, I guess you can have them. I don't have any space for that.
Between two or more known apps, a solution already exists - don't put in the system-wide shared buffer, put it in a buffer whose access is restricted to apps that you know. For example, on iOS you've been able to create team-local (only accessible from apps with the same team ID) and app-local (created with a unique identifier so only your app knows & can interact with it) clipboards since...a very long time, definitely pre-iOS 8 because that's when I encountered the API the first time.

To some extent, a solution does exist for arbitrary (iOS and Android) apps, which lets you explicitly pick what application you want to receive some data - the sharesheet. It's criminally underused in my opinion.

Between 1 hour in the morning getting them ready for school, commute, work 8/9 hours, commute back and pick him from school/grandparents, cook dinner, play with them a bit, put them in bed, most people don't have energy to so a side project and just need some time to relax in front of tv or social media.

If you want to be a good parent, it is tiresome and exhausting.
These are fairly common clauses. I've normally found that asking your manager for permission to work on a side project is sufficient to waive the appropriate rights and most will agree (I wrote a tech book with a similar clause in my contract and got permission from my manager to do so). If not, it's the kind of thing a union can help you with if you're a member.
"Nuanced" is a description of tone; it says nothing about how well informed the participants are. Someone who comes in saying "I am part of this group, and you're completely misrepresenting me" is not nuanced.

No, problem is the covered complexity. For Markdown I have never resort to any documentation - within its original scope. This is his big advantage and I appreciate this.
If you need more, you have almost certainly to look up things. This is true for AsciiDoc as well as for example ReST, the syntax of the former being a bit more appealing to me (just compare simple links for example) .

For this reason, I'm using a blogging system (Pelican) that supports all of them (including Pythons Markdown extensions). I'm completely free to apply the best suiting variant to the topics requirements.

> The sheriff doesn't even need a key to enter your house, he can get a warrant and bust your door down.

That requires following due process, the presumption of innocence, and observing the right to privacy. You have to convince a judge, in the context of the existing laws, that a certain individual or group are suspicious enough to call for (specific) further investigation.

Mass surveillance and forcing weak encryption bypass or overturn all that. It's a radically different view when you assume everybody is guilty of something by default and that they have no right to privacy.

Not sure it’s a blessing though, as now I find myself having to respond to others that personal experience isn’t a good source to back up their claims.

I think essentially the opposite is true, and academia's notion of cardinal sins have held back the analysis of data by decades. And I say this as an academic.

You make predictions all the time, and you don't know how. You don't know how you walk, how you drive a car, how you know the rules of English grammar. Your mind is a black box. And yet, you can do things that are still beyond the power of what we can understand using first principles. In many domains, first principles have achieved nothing. Years and years of effort by some of the smartest people in the world, and we pushed the ball one inch down the football field.

Supervised machine learning asks the question "To what extent can we predict this outcome, given these predictors?" This is a perfectly valid question, one that we can try to answer given enough data. And we can do it under the exact same conditions we can do standard statistical inference.

Ultimately, we want to answer "why" questions. But sometimes we can't even answer "what" questions. Most data is so complex that it's hard to say what the data even says, let alone why it says it. We could have been using what as a stepping stone to why, but our own provincialism as statisticians prevented us. I hope now we are learning to do better.

Let’s take the theory of evolution for a spin. Being a theory and not a hypothesis, it is a proven scientific fact. Yet a large chunk of the population chooses to not believe it to be true. So how do we encode this knowledge?

Option 1: we call it a controversy and make it sound like because some people don’t believe in it means it might not be correct.

Option 2: we state upfront that the theory of evolution is correct but link to a “incorrect but competing viewpoint” of creationism.

Option 3: we create three articles: one about the theory of evolution, one about creationism, and one about the disagreements between the creationists and the rest of the modern world.

I like option 3 best as it is the most complete picture of the three, and all it requires is the abstract concept of controversy or disagreement. I don’t know how you encode “dumbass” in this new format but it might be a useful concept to explain to aliens if they decide to visit Earth.

If this is a reference to discussions around IQ, I'd suggest that equating "person X scores lower on IQ tests than person Y" and "person X is subhuman compared to person Y" is a frankly horrifying position and if that isn't the equivalence you're trying to draw then you might do better being less combative and more descriptive around your actual objections.
