Irreproducibility can result from irreplicability or many other reasons. Publishing the code & data helps rule out the trivial replicability failure: that the authors made an implementation error, so the result is not reproducible. Establishing replicability is essential, but that won't prevent all irreproducible results. Attempts to reproduce results under different conditions are still necessary for the functioning of the scientific process - but they are a waste of time if the original result is not replicable.
What sort of sources or references for the statement from the homepage:

> We are all simply pawns to the Jews who have no other use for us beyond being a source of profit to them and a weapon that can be used to help destroy whites, who they see as their sworn enemies, by encouraging us to breed with them until there are no longer any whites left.

or, from "Jews & the Civil Rights Movement":

> Despite the widespread public belief that the Civil Rights Movement was organized by African-Americans, the reality is that it was almost entirely masterminded by Jews as part of their agenda to undermine the stability of American society by using blacks as a wedge to divide and conquer the white majority establishment.

would you consider suitable?

Are you aware that the "Jew as international manipulator of all other nations" trope is a conspiracy theory dating back to Tsarist Russia and, after that, Nazi Germany, where it was used to justify the murder of more than 6 million people?[1][2]

These aren't "wild accusations" so much as anti-Semitic lies responsible for centuries of death.

> You're trying to portray these requirements as transparent and easy

I said "transparent and straightforward" not "easy". Every single one of the attributes that Canada likes (other than age) is something you can control. Whereas the US is basically impossible for Indians due to a factor they have no control over: place of birth. Note Canada also has a separate track for skilled tradespeople - they aren't just taking college grads.

> Canadian job requirement is essentially a prerequisite for anyone to be able to hire you in Canada...there are stories and stories

I can give you anecdotes of people who went to Canada and found jobs within weeks. I think it's highly dependent on the field and your professional network. New immigrants often have no network in Canada. Is it substantially easier for fresh immigrants (i.e. people who come directly, without working in the US previously) to start working in the field of their choice in the US?

By the time a Canadian immigrant can qualify for a TN they've built up work experience and a professional network in North America. This makes job hunting in the US easier. I've found the reverse is true too; having worked in the US, getting interviews and offers in Canada is pretty easy.
> The US is actively abandoning its goal of being the land of opportunity, and it makes me sad.

Yes - this is active, but not irrational, because this is a reversion to mercantilism of the earlier centuries (it is not a conservative position, but a regressive one).

The only people welcome to this country are "growing things in the ground".

Because if the only thing that you consider to be productive is farming (as in production == farming), then the whole social requirements of education, research or specialization is irrelevant. And in fact, those people are a drain on the food security and profitability of the extractive industry of farming.

Maybe because it is fresh, I was struck by a bit of the lyrics from Hamilton as being a direct reference to this thought that the rest of America is just "moving money around" in the service industries (even the industry, where every stage is just making something from somebody else's raw material, till you get to the Appalachian coal mines).

Don't tax the South 'cause we got it made in the shade /

Microsoft hasn't entirely been as clear about it, but there is a sense that Microsoft sees Xbox as a services platform/cloud provider for all consoles more than a single console today (and Microsoft themselves are emphasizing that with Series X it is definitely not a single console anymore and more of a console family).

xCloud is likely to support every device that will have them. The current focus is on Android, but Microsoft has been working hard to convince Apple to let them have a first class XCloud experience on iOS, and there's rumors that Microsoft is trying to sweeten the pot with strong macOS support by xCloud.

A bunch of Microsoft's Xbox "Exclusives" have quietly made their way to Switch over the last few years, complete with Xbox Account signin, and lots of rumors have been that Microsoft wants to heavily push Xbox as a cross-platform multiplayer stack on Switch, to point where the craziest rumors have been that Microsoft was even trying to sweet talk Nintendo themselves in letting them take over the gaming account system on Switch and leave Nintendo to core competencies. (With the recent Nintendo Account hijacking issues, that may even be a wise plan. Nintendo seem like they'd rather not be stewards of a complicated account system if they could get away with it.)

In fears over Google's Stadia and nVidia's Cloud Gaming, Sony and Microsoft even announced a shared xCloud infrastructure plan, with xCloud going to take over some of PS Now's backend. That opens the possibility, as wild as it sounds, at this point that we might see more "Xbox Exclusive" games on PlayStation at least via xCloud on PS, given that announcement. (And Microsoft does have non-"Xbox Exclusive" games on PlayStation today, though that mostly just means Minecraft right now.)

Again, almost all of that is scuttlebutt, rumors and rumors upon rumors, so it is definitely not "clear" what if anything Microsoft is thinking here, but "Xbox Exclusive" seems a lot more "flexible" than any of the other console platforms, because Microsoft's idea of a platform has shifted a lot with Azure.

So many complaints here. Based on the comments I think there is some misunderstanding about the nuts and bolts of this program.

These are loans. They are two year low interest loans. They have to be paid back unless some or all is forgiven. Forgiveness requires documentation on employees retained, wage history, and is capped at $20k/employee maximum. And of course a piece of that comes back to the government in terms of payroll taxes. Just because a company took a 1M loan, doesn't mean it will be 100% forgiven.

For those complaining the companies don't "need" the money - I know many households who received $4k+ in stimulus checks that didn't need it. Should they not have taken it?

And anyways, the whole point of this program was to get money to businesses quickly. Means testing takes time. Sure there are going to be some questionable loans. Some fraud too. But overall our government has spent a lot more money and gotten worse returns than the PPP.
He literally starts out describing it as a "narrative" and the first statement he makes is that he dislikes it. It is clear that he is not interested in finding out whether it is true, he simply doesn't like what it implies and is suspicious of the messenger. The actual argument against it is weak and really just reinforces it (it takes entire generations to come around on an issue - we know dude, that's what we're talking about!)

We are all doing this shit all the time. Denying it just gives it more power. Admitting you have biases that color every interaction at least gives you a fighting chance to examine them.

What is the image that comes to mind with: "40% of the Fortune 500 companies are founded by immigrant families"
Sounds like they were solely responsible for creating this company.

Now a more precise statement: 40% of Fortune 500 companies had at least one immigrant or American with at least 1 immigrant parent on found team.
Changes the image in one's mind a lot. Why not actually be straightforward instead of misleading?
It takes generations because it takes generations to indoctrinate new generations in the truths gleaned by a small minority of experts in various fields have learned. This isn't strong a indication that people are rational. It's more like indication that societies can magnify the gains of a minority of rational individuals to improve the position of all including the majority not smart enough to have made those gains.
I think taking the approach of "help[ing] your team make informed, data-driven decisions" through generating reports is valuable here. In my opinion, it goes too far if we start continuously deploying ML code like it's a SWE project. To take an example in the case of autonomous vehicles, pushing continuous updates to perception modules without thoroughly exploring the ramifications of an update could be potentially catastrophic.

Obviously we can't predict every error by thinking hard, but datasets will never serve as a full representation of what models might experience in the real world. Continuous deployment to an ML model could affect undefined behavior in unpredictable ways.

The thing is that they shouldn't be deleting flat earther videos, and instead delete videos that are explicitly illegal.
I mean, questions are often statements, but way to try and find a semantic exit from the conversation.
I would say Trump is that stupid, either due to some mental degeneration or perhaps simply never being told "no" in his life. Covid should have made for a shoe-in second term. Give televised speeches reassuring and leading through a tough time, act on the advice of public health experts, and deflect the economic damage as doing the best we can. The wartime president boost. I think he could have even switched to this as late as May and still come out ahead. Instead, he continues to double down on pretending the entire problem doesn't exist.
I think this feels like a misunderstanding of what the PPP loans were designed to do. They were an economic incentive to keep people on payroll instead of a mass layoff or long term furlough. The correct business decision if you are no longer allowed to operate a business or you are no longer bringing in revenue to support the business you currently have is to do layoffs. If you have anticipation that the revenues will return to normal you can try a furlough. There's no economic incentive to keep people employed if all expenses including payroll suddenly eclipse the revenues of a business, and there's no incentive for a business owner to put personal wealth into their business if it has a great chance of never recovering.

The fact that the fixed expenses during this pandemic did not stop for corporations made the expense of payroll which provided significantly reduced revenue stand out. Even law offices and physicians have very high recurring expenses like insurance that they just can't stop and start on a dime and stay in business. It made no sense to keep people on the books until PPP gave a compelling reason to do so. It isn't about 'keeping a wealthy lifestyle' as much as 'keeping a functioning business' a lawyer or physician with no practice is just as much a drag on the economy as anyone else.
Are you seeing that people are taking that message to heart? Those around me don’t seem to be changing their attitudes. So, I don’t see any reason why things will change long term.
> what is the point of an international student renting an apartment in the US and taking a class over the Internet?

They're two years into a program, didn't create the circumstances that are forcing them to take their education entirely online, and the notion that they can return to their home country and participate in classes that might be happening at 3:00 am local time seems pretty far fetched?

Most of these upper-level online classes are participatory, not Coursera-style "watch a recording".

They just wrapped up Phase 1 of IDEA and POSH; programs that were explicitly trying to bring FOSS to hardware. There are now open-source end-to-end automated flows for RTL to GDS like OpenRoad.

There are orthodox interpretations that essentially mean you not only won't do work on Shabbat, you won't cause work to be done on your behalf.

The tradition of the Shabbat goy is interesting here, and suffice to say there are lots of gray area room for interpretation.

on the interview for the job I have right now, they asked me a lot about design patterns. I took a class on that and implemented a lot of them in Java. Factory, Facade, Visitor, Singleton... Never used them again after college, ask me about it, I think I would be able to explain Factory and Singleton from the top of my head, the rest... gone!!!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I would love to be that guy with a lot of information in the head, that can casually drop statics formulas and math concepts in a conversation, but that's not the case for my. At least for a lot of topics.

Watching the videos made me think about that. Starting a live video and answering 240 questions on several topics likes it's no big deal. Haha

> You must not use INTERN or UNINTERN at runtime.

I.e. you must not read Lisp data at run time, if it contains symbols, because that will call intern.

Good-bye, code-is-data.

I could reduce this guide by a good 30% with "You should avoid using Lisp as anything as Go or Java".

But that could be seen as defining a macro, which you must seldom do.

Your "probably" is doing a lot of work there. You don't really have any idea. But the issue is you wan't "wealthy" corporations to bear the brunt of the economic shutdown. But why single them out? The PPP is an imperfect and blunt way to socialize the costs of the shutdown.

Your statement proves why you need immigrants to do high-skilled work.
Or, maybe American’s have grown tired of educating state sponsored (China) students whose sponsors quite literally seek to exfiltrate knowledge from U.S. academia and industry. Do you think I as an American would be welcome to attend a Chinese university 100% remotely? Do you think China would allow any American to attend a program in China that could help the U.S. build a competitive or defensive advantage?
The whole thing is optimized for maximum cruelty, but the suggestion that students should transfer to another school that has in-person classes is just mockery.

In normal times transferring to another college is a process that takes 9-10 months. The admission rate for transfer applications is really low. And that's just for domestic transfer students. It is not even theoretically possible to transfer to another school in a couple of months. Not to mention that the F-1 student visa and the I-20 form needed to obtain such a visa are for a specific school only, so international students would also have to go back to their home countries and obtain new visas.
Yeah i'd try to normalize somehow to get a sense if a geographic area over or underutilized the program compared to expectation.

ATC get's bothered if you put other planes / people at risk (entering class B airspace without clearance, not maintaining separation etc etc). That is ATC responsibility. And yes, they will punish you with a notice of pilot deviation and then action on your license.

They don't bother you in terms of how you fly your own plane. That's captains responsibility in the US at least. The controller was getting into the go around game here (too high / too fast stuff). The CAPTAIN is supposed to monitor and establish the stabilized approach.
Oh, yes, this! I feel like I'm going crazy that my team members cannot see how incredibly slow Homebrew is. I don't know the reason for this, but updating the list of packages is excruciatingly slow and it does it every time I want to install anything.

Every time I have to use it, I have time to ponder about my life choices (like why am I using a mac to do sysadmin/dev work?).
Not just "generally". People bemoan high costs of college education in the US (and I tend to agree with them), not realizing that for international students, the tuition pricing alone can be easily twice the cost it is for out-of-state-students (which is already at least twice the cost for in-state students).

International students pay twice the price of tuition alone, not even mentioning all other extra expenses they have to pay. And since they cannot utilize a lot of financial aid available to US residents (federal student loans, certain scholarships, etc.), they pretty much have to have a lot of money in cash to be able to just pay for college.

Note: I am not saying that since they are very likely rich, they deserve to deal with all those struggles. And I get it, there could be some international students who come from a far-from-wealthy family, where all their money were pooled towards their college education. That seems to be a rare exception though, from what I have observed (haven't met a single international student like that, but plenty of the former kind).
Probably more accurate to say "can essentially sell US visas in exchange for tuition payments".
My favorite quote from this is:

"When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either a) anxiety about their attempts not being “good enough” or b) confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness."
Going from a student with F visa to Green Card is a >10 year adventure with all sorts of problems and complex legal framework. Not to mention, it's practically impossible for some majors, in particular if your major does not apply to OPT STEM extension, it's very hard to get H1B as you have 1 chance to be picked in lottery.

This "universities sell US citizenship" thing is plain misinformation.
I don't agree that dependency injection is necessarily bad, but if you really want to avoid it/mocking, there are also other ways, i.e. structuring your code into pure and impure parts, only unit testing the pure stuff and relying on integration tests for the "wiring".
