Err... what about timezones and onsite networking? Internships?

Please take in count that nowadays the most important value universities provide is networking.
I'm sorry if I came off critical of French or US protesters. I only meant that we are not there yet, I fear that the abuse inflicted by the current netanyahu regime might lead to escalation. I'm agree full heartedly that violence calls for violence. I'm also pretty sure that the outcome the Netanyahu regime hopes for is violent protests.
This way he can instill fear in the more well off people and have the mandate to use more extreme violence against protesters until he breaks them or no one but the actual anarchists are willing to continue.

So yes, violence calls for violence. But, we must break the cycle, I think nonviolent resistant is the only way to go.

Sadly, a lot of the media in Israel is either controlled by netanyahu via a web of corrupt interests or out right fear. Now it's mainly commercial fear, but he has been targeting and enflaming against top tier journalists that won't back down. Anyway, they don't show the peacful side of the protest.
That does makes sense. It was shortsighted to ask students who are already in US to leave. But isn't it better to minimize international travel and foreigners into US (or any country) at this stage?

Even though this reeks of prejudice, ICE is not entirely in the wrong on this one imo.

I haven't tried this out yet, but from the release notes it sounds like the new facial recognition system will be better than I am. I am not good at recognizing faces and have been waiting for quite some time for a good open source tool to recognize faces with.
Hi. The "features" and "pricing" links no longer work after you click on "Demos" or "What is Spaced Repetition?" links.

Also, it might make sense that the bar holding those links remains visible at the top... or not.
Cool so what's going to happen after these admitted students do their year or two of online coursework remotely and then need to come to the US to finish in person classes? Are they just fucked if they aren't granted a visa?

The reasonable thing to do if immigration bans are absolutely necessary temporarily would be to issue admitted students visas now but block their use temporarily while instruction was purely online. This would remove the risk of foreign students spending tens of thousands on a program only to be forced to transfer if they can't get a visa later. Of course, the real purpose of this (along with the green card ban, h-1b bans, previous attempts at booting students out, etc) is to be deliberately unreasonable and hostile towards foreigners seeking to enter the US.
As zelly notes below the US has mandatory life sentence for certain amounts of drug production. Under 21 USC § 848(b), a life sentence is automatic for the principal administrator of a "continuing criminal enterprise" involving in excess of 300 times the quantities listed at 21 USC § 841(b)(1)(B), which for LSD would be (v):

> 1 gram or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)

By all accounts, Pickard had produced kilos of LSD.

Not defending the life sentence (let alone two concurrently), but it's a logical consequence of the US's fucked up laws & sentencing guidelines.

> Wonder what people were getting for drugs that actually kill people.

Depends, were they "black" of "leftist" drugs that "actually kill people"? I don't think anyone got jailed over leaded gas.
That propped up 10x engineer always working overtime, is really a 10x*0.3 bus-factor engineer.
Team members can each be 3x engineer with significantly improved bus factor (though not without investment and some coordination).

The funny thing is that 10x engineer drains mindshare from the teams, rest of the org, and will lack diversification, like architecture, testing and Ops.
Congress, when passing a law, can't anticipate and prescribe what to do in every possible case or scenario. That implementation detail is the role of the executive branch, with oversight by the courts. That's already played out with the successful litigation on the original blanket ban by MIT and Harvard. Of course Congress can always step in and explicitly amend the law, or refuse to fund the executive's implementation.
But at least it's maintained consistently and has been maintained for the past 14 years now.

I've been using it since the end of google reader and it works great. The filtering aspect alone is wonderful for me to filter out some tags/authors.

The (paid official ) Android app is pretty good too and supports offline reading (for a very small fee).

I self host it on a public facing server. Great to sync my reading between all my devices. I do recommend adding some basic auth in front of the (obviously https) login page as the client apps (android) supports it and it adds a layer of security.

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I absolutely agree that as a society we should stop placing so much emphasis on "prestigious" schools and using that as such a strong filter.

That being said, you could say that recruiters might "miss out on excellent engineers by not visiting _____", where the blank is any one of thousands of schools in the US. In this particular case, it seems like an instance of "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" – in general, a recruiter is just gonna look better if they recruit talent from top-rated school than from lower rated ones.

To me, the solution is to stop recruiting on college campuses in general if the job in question doesn't actually require a degree in order to perform it.
Online lectures in a lot of uni's will still happen in real time. Meaning that some students have to take classes at 3 AM. Being in the same time zone will still make a difference for a lot of them.
I don't think that would solve this issue - a perfect hash function is guaranteed to not have any collisions for any element in some predefined set. What Bloom's proof requires is that all of the k hash functions should not have any collision for any input that is inserted into the Bloom filter, which is not covered by just having each function alone be perfect. That aside, Bloom does not make any assumptions about the chosen hash functions being perfect or not.
Note that Portland Police deployed CS gas against protesters attempting to set fire to the courthouse on May 30th. That night, Portland Police arrested 51 people.
Doesn't make much sense to me from a financial standpoint. The prospective students got the visa, they will be attending online classes from within US when they go there, and will pay international tuition. You don't want their money?
Haha thanks for checking it out :-)
Amazon allegedly stealing tech from startups under the pretext of funding them
A lot of "low altitude only" pilots try to fly on MOGAS (car fuel, unleaded) when possible due to high cost of AVGAS 100LL (the most common aviation fuel, 100 octane low lead).

The problem comes with flying in lower atmospheric pressure (high or hot environment) because the replacement chemical used in place of the lead-based additives makes fuel much quicker to evaporate.

BTW, the really rich don't use AVGAS 100LL except maybe for hobby flying - kerosene-based JET A-1 is used in all turbine engines, as well as the rare diesel.
Yes, I see that it may well be at least unclear for them.

But legal, moral responsibility aside, I would just imagine it is a sucky job to go fight your own citizens. I wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up a breaking point: uniformed forces refusing to continue being part of this battle.

But maybe I’m wrong, hence my question.
Search and rescue is almost soley helicopter traffic, and very rarely requires leaded fuel (a turbine doesn't need leaded, it can run on it, but it'll run just fine on unleaded too). The number of places still using non-turbine helicopters for anything other than training and very light sightseeing is very small, probably close to 0% worldwide.

Same is true of Medical Transport except possibly for Australia where light aircraft are used more frequently than turbine helicopters.

Same for powerline inspection, although there could be a couple of companies using Robinsons somewhere I guess.

JK Rowling's views on trans people are also nearly the perfect demonstration that pg's "aggressive conformism" analysis is spot on. See, not too long ago those particular views were in fact something that was doing quite a bit of harm to trans people. They were being used to succesfully lobby for laws that did things like effectively deny trans women access to rape counselling and domestic violence services, and justify pretty awful campaigns of online harassment against any openly trans woman - not by JK Rowling, who seemed quite happy to just quietly hold her opinions, but by others. The reason you didn't hear much about this is because when these views actually had power, the loud, aggressive, well-connected warriors for social justice kind of supported them.

Now, it wasn't quite mandatory to hold these views back when I started following things about a decade, decade-and-a-half ago (though I remember Shit Reddit Says, the group trying to force Reddit to police its content based on their ideological demands, got quite close). What was mandatory was covering for them, shutting up about the laws they passed and the harm they did and pressuring everyone else to do so with allegations of misogyny. The arguments used to do this were quite reminiscent of present-day claims that "cancel culture" doesn't matter and people only object to it because they're bigots, now I think about it - supposedly the people pushing this didn't hold any power, and therefore the only reason for trans women to spend effort objecting to them rather than fighting non-feminist men, who by definition were the ones with real power, was because they had a misogynistic hatred of women. It was only when those views actually lost their power and relevance that the loud, aggressive, well-connected online activists switched from covering for them to demanding that everyone support beating up elderly lesbians for merely existing in public whilst holding transphobic views. (I am unfortunately not exaggerating, this actually happened - and yes, it was definitely the same people. pg's remark about "an exclamation point after a variable" is an extreme understatement.) This shift was quite recent too - maybe around 2016 or so?

There were of course actually non-conformist people with moral views that didn't just follow the crowd and various levels of aggressiveness who balked at this at the time. They just ended up being effectively irrelevant - too far from the status quo for its supporters, but so throughly and aggressively labeled as evil supporters of it by its organised, orthodox self-proclaimed challengers that few people seeking to challenge it would listen to the non-conformists.
Percentage wise that like 15-20%? That doesn’t seem that bad actually. Especially for hardware.

Out-of-state students on F1 visa (be graduate or undergraduate) generally have to abide by certain academic requirements to maintain legal stay.

Historically, for the graduate student subset, a course load of 6 credit hours has always been the minimum requirement for face2face lectures in any particular semester. Under very specific circumstances (read: literally one course to graduation or similar) will the DSOs of their school mention the case on their SEVIS records and allow them to continue. Arguments can be made against the morality of not allowing students with improper internet access to come in. But don't let armchair experts lead you to believe it wasn't always this way. Because it was.
I believe that it was more a public health decision. But if they decided instead systematic PCR tests and 15 days quarantines for the entrants there should be actually not much any problem...
Yes, that is true and one of the biggest limitations of the system currently, this is why it's mostly suited for sites that don't load dynamic data (eg. landing pages, news sites, blogs, etc.)

Currently to avoid executing events twice, you can disable action replay on a specific button (it will show the click event but not replay the action).

I have always considered implementing or using something like rrweb but the performance and privacy implications are huge. Still a lot of customers would prefer that, mostly for the ecommerce cases you mentioned.
> we missed the social acceptance window.

I don't think that's the reason we accept the higher death rate of cars. In cars, you feel like you have direct influence on whether you die, or at least you know the person in control. This might not be the actual case, but it's enough to make people save.

Compare this to planes: You're flown in big machines you don't understand by people you don't know and, if something goes wrong, you can do nothing but protect your head and hope for the best. Also, you have no way out - if an engine fails, prepare for quite some time of horror. Compared to a car, where you might have some unpleasant deceleration, but safety is always very near.

I'm pretty sure these factors are the main reason we are so wary of aviation deaths compared to car deaths.

One person can only focus on so much, usually 1-2 things at a time if they mean to do it well. So such people study in evenings and work overtime in order to pass the bar. I don't think this is an ideal for normal work conditions. Also people learn from hobby / volunteer projects in free time, that could explore same front-end designs.
There's a lot to unpack here, but I'd like to engage you on a few points in your comment:

> Those street level agents arrest individuals who are taken to some federal property where they are held for a few hours after which they are released, usually without being indicted. In a few cases people have been read their rights which would indicate they are to be subjected to interrogation.

The NYT footage clearly depicts uniformed individuals without identification detaining protesters. When asked who they are, they do not respond. The bit about cars has been documented elsewhere, but is immaterial to the problem of identification and accountability: you can't expect people to react well when they don't even know who is arresting them, or why. I'm also personally alarmed that people are "sometimes" being informed of their rights, but we can save that for another discussion.

> What is also clear is that the fact that local authorities allowed the situation to escalate to this level is inexcusable and is what eventually gave rise to these federal actions.

The "local authorities" include the mayor of Portland and the governor of Oregon. Regardless of how one feels about the protests or their legitimacy, any proponent of state's rights should be very alarmed by the situation. They are elected officials representing their constituents, and in their own state their rights and desires should be respected.

I don't want to get into arguments about how trustworthy NYT is, but many of the things covered in the footage above have been confirmed and documented by many other news sources. Regardless of which one you trust, I think we can all agree that the situation could be handled much better than it has been and that regardless of what the federal response is, we need accountability at all levels of law enforcement.

I am sure the privileged kids willing and able to pay 150k USD for university education in US have a very reliable network at home.
Yep definitely don’t fight if you can avoid it. This is why I am very forgiving when driving. Keep a distance from idiots, drive as safe as possible, don’t honk people etc. This way the fight is avoided. Not about being a wimp, but most fights aren’t worth it. And there are other ways to fight than literally. I have not been in a proper fight. Closest thing was at high school but nothing much happened. Other than that I’ve been coaxed into fighting in drunken places maybe 3 times but didn’t take the bait. It’s unlucky if you are in a situation where you are forced to fight. All of these times walking away is an option.

In my experience many jobs in "risk management" (under which I'd file a large part of cybersecurity from an organisational perspective) are 'second career jobs'. You first need to have done the job yourself before you start learning how to properly comment, guide, influence and teach colleagues and teams. People are notoriously resistant to outside critique even when you are part of the same organisation and principally on the same boat. So I would advise companies to let medior to senior staff that are not management material but can lead by example to take on more risk management roles.

So how to get into cybersecurity? Don't. Do what you like (programming, systems administration or even IT-procurement) and after a few years start transitioning to cybersecurity. An exception would be the hardcore whitehats but firms usually don't have those on board and rely on consulting. So programmer-consultant is another route. But you won't get hired without quite the demonstrated homework, so you'll need to love it.
Just so you know, the test sends requests to the server on every answer and sometimes these requests silently fail with 503 error code, you don't get any points in such case, even if you answered correctly.

Hi. Thanks for your valuable observation - I have fixed it now :-)
The police minister conversation with the chief of police was just leaked. In it he demands more violence against protesters, and his argument his, that it's not fair the police won't violently suppress these protests with the same level of violence they use against minorities.

Seems to at least one paragraph repeated in this article? Very strange writing.
Electric motors should be a lot easier to maintain.

The Lilium jets also have a lot of small engines, allowing for multiple failures in flight.

A lot of commenters are also missing the fact that Lilium plans to use pilots initially, until regulations allow for autonomous operations. (it's not mentioned in the article)

I'm sure there will be plenty of problems, but it will be interesting to see if the idea is viable.

I think one of the biggest deal-breakers will actually be noise. Those things are loud.
Actually, programming is just a small part of the product development process. A huge amount of work is spend on communication, architecting, planning, gathering user requirements, maintenance... Then you need deep knowledge of the technical domain. In that regard, I would say FE and BE differ tremendously. The constraints are different, the people with whom you engage are different, the objectives are different. It won't be very obvious in small companies and young product teams where everyone does a bit of everything. As things scale up and gain maturity, people have to specialise, and it becomes very hard to be the best at both. You have to pick: making great UI components, or storing data optimally. You can be average and do a bit of both, but if you want to be an expert engineer, you'll need to specialise in one (which is what I think d--b was referring to).

Are you sure that was just a marketing line for "RPC"? I thought the scope was broader.

IMO Micro-Services were addressing the skill gap in designing comprehensive schemas, not so much the object layer between user and data. So not modular "programming" but rather "modular design".

> crappy closed-source printer drivers

It was about not being able to customize the behavior, lacking the access to source code, not about “crappiness.”

“ In 1980, Stallman and some other hackers at the AI Lab were refused access to the source code for the software of a newly installed laser printer, the Xerox 9700. Stallman had modified the software for the Lab's previous laser printer (the XGP, Xerographic Printer), so it electronically messaged a user when the person's job was printed, and would message all logged-in users waiting for print jobs if the printer was jammed. Not being able to add these features to the new printer was a major inconvenience, as the printer was on a different floor from most of the users. This experience convinced Stallman of people's need to be able to freely modify the software they use.[29]”
