Holy moly.

You are grasping at straws here.

Exam is not a discouragement. Its rather a test of progress.

TN has been plaguing with higher dropout rates for a while.

>Forced to fail

Seriously ???

Expecting students to pass a standard test is not denying education. If students fail the tests, they FAIL. That is the purpose. Its not the responsibility of the govt to be "PASS" the student. Rather its the responsibility of the govt to provide education institutional access. What is the point of letting students PASS if they cant even do basic math and communicate.

Unskilled graduates is one of the highest ranked problem that the govt is facing in getting them employed.

And I don't know why even without providing any shred of evidence you keep bring Veda,Caste and Hindutva into discussion into Educational Policy.

What is your point here?

These look great, thanks! Neocities in particular has a pretty good overview of what you're getting on the homepage. Both seem to require their custom uploader, which is unfortunate, but it appears to just be posting to the API so I can use curl or what not in CI which will be nicer (I don't necessarily want to add a ton of extra dependencies to my build machine, not that it would be the end of the world). Anyways I'll check them both out, thanks again!
I used to work at a webhosting company, crawlers were an enormous amount of our traffic. Some of our users, their only traffic was crawler traffic.

Tons and tons of small web consulting companies would love to have OP. I was director of engineering for one such and would have loved to hire someone with OP's experience. (Of course, salaries at such a small consulting shop won't compare with some of the eye-popping numbers you hear about, so you want to factor that in.)

I'm not sure how to find them other than to ask in your community.

Ones that I know of (in Colorado, my stomping ground):

* https://www.culturefoundry.com/

* https://crowandraven.com/

* https://devetry.com/

Not sure where you are located, but I'd search for "web development <city>" and see what pops up as a starting point.

I recently moved into devrel for a smaller company and can vouch for the fact that it is a great position if you are a jack of all trades. In the last week or so I have:

* worked on ad landing pages

* written code for an example app

* recorded and edited a video

* filed a couple of bugs against the product

* responded to support requests

* written a blog post

* stood up cloud infrastructure to help me document a new feature
Except that every company that's taken a political stance has demanded that their employees suppress their opinions, unless those opinions are extreme left-wing opinions.
I disagree with this advice. I write articles when there is a need for them. Sometimes they are 2 months apart, and sometimes 2 days. I can't plan the problems I'll face and solve in advance.

I also spend a lot of time updating old articles with new information, and that new information trickles in at random intervals.

Most of your readers will find you through Google, when they're trying to solve a specific problem. They won't subscribe to your content or return without a specific goal in mind, so consistency is not that important.
Thank you for your support! I'm happy that it was helpful for you. If you have any questions or get stuck at any point feel free to email me at milancurcic@hey.com. I'll be happy to help.
Ikea's are mostly Whirlpools I believe... Whirlpools tend to be a little more reliable but noisier.
You take for granted current working conditions which were won via hard-fought political battles and which affect us to this day.

Also what about Maternity leave? Paternity leave? Are those not political?

How is negotiating working conditions not related to "how we engage and collaborate with each other as a society"? It's inherently (little p) political even if the engagement is at a company similar to how politics on your local HOA is still politics.

edit: typo
Actually IIRC last time I looked it was more like city researchers usually subtract depreciation on the vehicle from the earnings, which can be quite substantial (IRS rates are roughly a quarter per mile). Uber doesn't subtract that, so the rate per hour varies wildly.
My very basic understanding is that most regular DAB (not DAB+) is inferior in audio quality compared to FM?

Broadcasters can divide the ~1,000 kbit/s into many channels, usually 9-12. It's rare for a single channel to get more than 128 kbit/s, so a strong FM signal might sound better.

First - the neutrality of a judge is political. It is an expression of their support of the law of the land - namely the system of justice. Judicial neutrality, is in fact, special.

> This seems like a fallacy. X may be undesirable, but it's impossible to completely rid ourselves of X. Therefore it's pointless to even worry about reducing X.

No one said anything about it being pointless.

And, no one said undesirable. Politics isn’t good or bad. It’s just part of life. In the sense that people are inherently social and will always be discussing, civilly or not, how things should be done.

To me, if I live in a democracy, what would be undesirable is a citizen who is not, in some form or fashion, active in the body politic since a democracy depends on an active (and educated) citizenry in order to function! :).
> But owning a gun shop would by its very nature makes you pro-gun from a conflict of interest standpoint.

No it most certainly doesn't. A person can hold the opinion that many people can engage in some activity responsibly, while not everyone can.

Being a gun store owner that favors regulation on the ownership of guns is not all that different from a beer brewer that favors regulation of drinking age or laws against operating vehicles while inebriated.

Ignoring morality for a moment, there's a business argument in there too. A bunch of drunk hooligans causing car accidents is bad for business. Anyone in the business of dealing in "harmful" products is aware of potential public backlash from irresponsible people and will seek to mitigate that in some form.
My consciousness is in the present. But it cannot afford to forget the past. Only if we understand historical mistakes and misconducts, one will be able to correct themselves and move forward.
I am not 100% sure, but here is my theory. Master data management is the superset, covering tools and systems designed to manage data from many domains. Originally, ERP and large enterprise systems were where the “master” records were stored.

In recent years there has been some backlash against ERP systems, e.g. Oracle. Also, master data management was seen negatively in an increasingly federated system world - one with the Bezos mandate, microservices, reduced centralization, etc.

I’ve seen a general unbundling and remarketing of enterprise solutions in ways to make them more palatable to the newer generations.

Therefore, to escape the legacy image, ERP -> master data management -> product data management -> product information management.

I think it has to do with the evolution from big centralized systems to federated/distributed/independent but interconnected ones, and the corresponding branding/marketing changes over time. Especially to avoid terms seen as “legacy”.

The marketing might be a bit short sighted, but that is an opinion. Maybe the branding sells more copies, and for most of these companies that is all that matters.
I don't think it's a hypothetical. Overpoliticization is already at this point. There was a week or so at my company where a slack bot would automatically scold us for not being inclusive if we used the word "guys".
Don't know if you have access to the Gitter side but as of now, the blog post is 404ing https://blog.gitter.im/gitter-element-acquisition/
Sure, but since then things have kept improving. From a technology point of view it's only going to get easier and easier to run a ride-sharing service.
That's actually lower that I would have guessed. And lower than what I see on my servers. It's more than 1/2 for sure, and it's hard to guess how much of that other (less than half) part is real people, and not just bots pretending to be people. My 1/2 educated guess is about 40% of traffic to the sites I run is real people on any given day. These are all smallish websites for non-profits, so maybe not an "average" website, whatever that might mean.
Passengers are weighed in Samoa.
Maybe in about 10 years, or even sooner, when 5G is everywhere, and the IoT-chips are so cheap that it doesn't matter anymore, they are built into every appliance like in new cars now. Always connected by whatever means. What then?

Really interesting numbers. I just wish it was possible to see all the other statistics in relation to letgit vs bot traffic.

eg if mobile traffic is 35% of total, what percentage of legit vs bot traffic is mobile? TLS 1.2 vs 1.3 is a 38%/61% split, but how much bot traffic is encrypted?
> What's not appropriate is to choose the company with the highest salary, but whose owner's political views differ from your own, and then try to change that to something more suitable to your own. Or use such a position as leverage to push your own political views to a wider audience than you could on your own.

Very well put and I’m terrifyingly surprised at how many people are arguing for the opposite. That is literal subversion.
Maybe it's because those three are good enough?
Latvian and Lithuanian are Baltic languages, which is a language family within Indo-European language family. Among Indo-European language family, Baltic and Slavic languages are the closest (aka Balto-Slavic language family).
Does this kind of marketing actually work for many people? Without trying to sound too unkind, I genuinely hope there are not that many people out there who want to use this thing by "carry(ing) on one shoulder with speaker elements facing the head".

This thing seems like a very expensive toy.
Agree re plugins, and it’s not just the work to verify them once, they change over time. Their motives change or are revealed (once enough customers are locked in they switch to evil mode), or they are acquired by profit-hungry capitalists devoid of ethics, or simply abandoned and then compromised etc.

Core knowledge. Create an environment that encourages a love of reading as soon as possible and help them develop core knowledge about the world around them. This includes both language and facts/concepts about everything from ancient history to the solar system.

Domain-specific background knowledge is incredibly important. It turns out (for the most part) there are no general purpose cognitive skills... it's all domain specific. A student that knows about baseball will comprehend an article about baseball much better than one that doesn't have the core knowledge of what a run, base, double, home run, etc. means. Decoding strategies be damned.

Helping your young child develop said background knowledge will put them in a fantastic spot as they enter school. They'll 'get the joke' - it's a bit like velcro for the brain. Nothing sticks for the students that enter school without the cognitive velcro that is domain-specific background knowledge.

I know this sounds completely contrary to the progressive education philosophies that domain our culture about teaching kids how to think vs what to think... no memorization, etc. It surprised me too.

Check out the work of cognitive scientist Daniel T. Willingham, Natalie Wexler (The Knowledge gap is a great book) or E.D. Hirsch for a deep dive.
I think the poster is referring to the 'ltehacks' forum/website, which is a group of people using things like 700/800/850/1800/1900 band LTE last mile, via things like cradlepoints and hotspot devices, where no WISP exists.

Because they can achieve much better latency and GB/month through that than by buying a wildblue type terrible consumer grade VSAT.

Starlink will be revolutionary for those people who live in a place where no viable fixed-wireless WISP exists.
In January 2017, several of my coworkers were banned from reentering the country to go home to their families, while they were on business trips to visit other offices. How is anyone supposed to be apolitical in that context? How are the people who can't ever come home supposed to pretend everything is fine?

A functional definition of privilege is that politics doesn't matter that much to you. No matter how it turns out, you'll be fine, so you're able to mentally compartmentalize it and go about the rest of your business. There are many people whose lives are not like that, and it's unreasonable to expect them to treat politics as a game separate from real life.
Is the problem actually "free?"

I mean, if Disqus or facebook had been offering these as paid services, would we expect them to be respectful of privacy? When buy an android phone, amazon echo or whatnot... When we order stuff on amazon, subscribe to Spotify, download a paid app or even purchase a car... do these come with the expectation of privacy?

Increasingly, data gathering is just built into everything, free, paid or foisted. I think the "if you aren't paying, you're the product" trope is trite at this point. We're "the product" regardless.

Framing this in terms of "the problem with free" is off, IMO. It doesn't point to a solution. A paid facebook or google is neither realistic nor likely to solve anything. All it does is point the finger in the wrong direction, as if we, the ignorant masses, are selling ourselves willingly.

Corporate (and state) espionage is simply the default. Avoiding it takes effort, and compromise. Part of that compromise may be financial, or it may not be.
Out of curiosity, what's the tech stack (eg backend, frontend) used for radar.cloudflare.com?

Apple users pay 28 USD for an icon pack. I'm blown away. Is this how they behave with everything? Just ask what you want and they will pay for it?
That depends on a lot of business factors.

At the moment, Starlink is a bit of a loss-leader for SpaceX. They're putting up the satellites to justify the cost of continuing development on Falcon-9, because they've saturated the market for satellite customers. It's entirely possible that the program continues on that vein and is eventually subsidized by an expanding satellite launch market as companies realize there are things they could do with satellites that they previously couldn't afford, now can.

There is, of course, market risk---both the one you've identified and the entirely mundane "SpaceX goes under and the satellite fleet goes defunct" risk.

Back in 2015, GCC was already[0] over 14 million lines of code. It's surely much bigger now (although google didn't immediately provide a number). No one should be surprised when bugs crop up.

Why do bots need to crawl so much? Any idea what kind of bots they are, is it mainly search engines?
Plenty of people have their mind changed by facts, they're called scientists. The rest are usually uneducated laymen. How do you change their minds? You don't, you educate their children to prevent the entrenchment of idiocracy.
> Why is a company wanting to be apolitical is controversial?

It's wild. That was standard not long ago. Most companies, even in tech, were apolitical. Maybe there would be some watercooler chat near the election with that one coworker who was really into politics, but that was about it. People mostly didn't know or care what the politics of their coworkers were. If they did, it wasn't a big deal and would still be friendly regardless.

But now many are convinced they are warriors in a never-ending existential war. Then it's hard to understand why someone isn't a warrior.

"We're about to die! What are you doing, not fighting? You must choose a side. You're with us or against us!"

Normally this happened on a 4 year cadence[1]. Locusts would descend to rally the troops, warn of impending doom, have the battle (vote), and then go hibernate for a few years. But now it's non-stop. The war just never ends. It bleeds into everything. Those who choose to not participate in the war or don't engage in the approved way are looked at with suspicion, accused of being the enemy.

But certainly, in some contexts, the user benefit isn't marginal at all. People know YT tracks their habits and shows them ads that are sometimes extremely specific to what they do both online and in the real world, but they still will use YT since the lure of an ad-supported platform that gives you access to billions of hours of {entertaining | educational | relaxing | etc} content instantly. Search is also extremely useful and accurate for 99% of people and the tracking is probably as a viable trade-off for access to it (although most will use adblock on desktop), although the problem of most people not knowing the full extent of their Tracking still persists.

Apolitical doesn't just mean "supporting the status quo". It can mean "improving the world along a particular dimension with a coalition that cuts across historic factions". That's what Coinbase is trying to do, and (for example) open source has historically been.

Making a workplace political means excluding people who believe in the mission but don't share your views on things irrelevant to that mission. This is dumb for a couple reasons:

* you've now hamstrung the mission your organization was ostensibly about

* the people you excluded are still out there. Even if you no longer have to work with them, you do have to share a society with them. And now they're going to form their own organizations and become more polarized.

It may be a cost worth bearing in some circumstances, but generally you want to keep the number of people excluded in this manner to a minimum.

In the JDK 1.0.1, the GridBagLayout would make absolute hash of your layout. I found this out when attempting to write an application in early Java. I read and reread the API spec, I tried everything I could think of, but every time I got a scrambled mess on the screen instead of a nice layout. I was convinced that I had done something wrong because the first rule about bugs in the runtime is, it's probably not a bug in the runtime.

It was a bug in the runtime.

JDK 1.0.3 came out, and ran that code just fine.

They don't need to be that cold to start superconducting, 4.2K is just the temperature you could expect with liquid helium cooling. It would actually be superconducting with liquid nitrogen but the reason why you would still want to go colder is because superconductors have a maximum magnetic flux that they can sustain while still being superconducting. The current travelling through a superconductor itself also contributes to the magnetic flux so even though it's superconducting there's still a limit as to how much current you can pass through a conductor and how high of a magnetic field you can create. This limit is dependent on temperature though, so you definitely want to use liquid helium so you can create a much stronger magnetic field.
