The dictionary: "immigrant: a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country". Note: permanently. But expat can be temporary.

So, if you haven't decided that you'll stay permanently in the new country, but maybe instead you'll move to a 2nd new country, a 3rd and so on, then you might consider yourself an expat, but not an immigrant. At least that's how foreign students here, seem to refer to themselves: They're here for a few years, and then will probably leave, and they call themselves "expats".

And also, what about this: If you still have your identity in your home country (e.g. the culture there?), you'd think of yourself as someone from that country: "I expatriated from Home-Country". But if your identity is in the new country, then you'd think of yourself primarily as an immigrant to country New-Country?

> Third I would never purchase a self driving car that requires any connectivity in order to work well.

Communication is quite a key to solve the task, but I believe the entire framing of the problem is wrong: you don't need a self-driving car, you need an automatic road.
You'll get a hundred different hot takes on this as it's a very touchy subject but in essence:

Conservative backbenchers have wanted out of the EU for a while. To keep the peace within his own party, David Cameron (the former PM) promised them a referendum figuring it was a straight-forward (and safe!) lay-up that put the matter to bed, and that would then be the end of it. Essentially, "Remain" would easily win by a landslide and the matter would be settled for good.

The plan didn't pan out.

Because it was essentially intended as a rhetorical question when it was devised, no great amount of time was spent figuring out what a Leave vote would mean in practice as it was not expected to happen. Unfortunately, the upper echelons of both political parties spent so little time and effort explaining the implications that it left that role wide open for media outlets to fill in the many blanks - meaning that people on the Left were told it would be the end of days and those on the Right that it was a free ticket to the promised land with no downsides. The Right vote carried.
We have fixed some soundness holes that means some broken code accepted by older compilers will not compile today. There also have been some type inference changes that technically could break some code.

While we are allowed to break things in this way, we want it to feel as if it were literally 100%, so we often will do things like “warn instead of fail to compile for a very long time” before making changes, or “discover that an inference change breaks the ecosystem too much so back it out until it won’t anymore.”

Both is good. When your bike breaks down and can't be fixed for a month because a mechanic that can rebuild the engine isn't available or the repair is too costly, that can be a real hit to your mental state (trust me, I know). That stuff doesn't usually happen to a therapist. But also a therapist won't make you happy, just less unhappy. A bike will put a smile on your face.

> if you have the notion that Amazon is not competing with your business

you would think OP is talking about industries in general, much like how AMZN is moving into a bunch of other industries like online payment processing (Amazon Pay), grocery (Whole Foods, Amazon GO), etc. They certainly aren't moving into every industry, probably because these industries already are low-margin or don't have a clear path to growth under Amazon disruption.

All this is down to the steady drip drip effect that British mass media has on the population which has brought us to this situation. As a life long EU supporter I was dismayed by the results of the referendum and the recent general election. Even worse it broke my heart when the EU took action over its dismal failure to vaccinate their people as the UK had done rather well. This does not bode well for the future.

It is a shame (at least to me) that Blekko was acquired by IBM - it showed a lot of promise and I was a fan at the time.
Corporate jargon isn't supposed to make communication clearer. It's a kind of stock verbal filler used for status signalling by people who aren't articulate enough to communicate clearly.

Linguists call this register. It's linked to social status, general social context, and specific situational context.

There's even an ISO standard for different linguistic registers. Language translation systems have to worry about this, because if they get it wrong, hilarity ensues.

Not specific to computer vision, but my understanding is that the two famous AI texts by Norvig -- Principles of Artificial Intelligence Programming and Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach -- are introductions to the "symbolic" approach to AI (as opposed to the "computational intelligence" approaches given by the modern regimes of machine learning, deep learning, and similar), and I would imagine that methods from the symbolic approach are primarily what are used here (but I'm not an expert).

I believe these types of comment memes are rare on HN because they obscure what might be an interesting point with an unoriginal, unfunny joke. I understand what it means because I've seen it on reddit, but a lot of people here don't use reddit.

I hope that you'll consider just writing out your point in plain language in the future, especially for people are not "in on" the joke or don't speak English as a first language.

That's a deeply flawed stance. The meaning of "reasonable person" changes so often as to be able to mean anything.

However, if Google gets a query "Where to buy a Rolex" or "best deals on Rolex watches", well you know that person is perhaps already considering buying a watch, so you want first crack at the deal.

I've found that my "buying questions" are never properly answered by those ads. The more commercial intent I display, the scummier the ads get.

I blame misaligned interests: I want to know if the product is good and to find good deals, they want me to give them money, now! And since advertising is a numbers game, they don't pull their punches when manipulating me.

No, thank you. Talk to my adblocker.

Have you read what you linked? There’s a lot of supposition and extrapolation on undefined terms. A lot of words as an excuse to bash a country already under attack. It’s not like Sweden doesn’t have a long history of imperialism either.

I’m well aware we communists aren’t welcome on HN. Considering it’s US-centric and has a bourgeois focus, it’s not surprising it would welcome only right-wing politics.

Still, it doesn’t cost me much to push back a bit on imperialist rhetoric. Maybe one or two people will reconsider their world view in terms of material interests.

In languages with static analysis, there is often a false tradeoff between long-lived code and security.

For Python (and JavaScript and most modern languages), security updates are mixed up with API changes. In some cases, security updates require breaking old code.

If the language has great static analysis, you get a handy guide of everywhere your code needs to change. For example, I have a C# code base that's now 5 years old and has survived through several major C# and .NET updates, and it was never more than 2-3 hours of work to just click and fix the compiler errors (JetBrains automates a lot of it, too).

Rust sounds like it has that benefit as well. The compiler is so good that broken code is easy to find and fix.

If you go to the full members page[1], you will notice that the major Linux distributions are represented: SuSE, Canonical, and Red Hat. It's certainly a corporate interest group, but it would be incorrect to say that large open source projects are not represented.

Edit: it should also go without saying that Google et al. are already responsible for a significant portion of the open source ecosystem. For better or worse.

> It can either refer to their sex or their gender

That seems unlikely and definitely unproven.

We're told gender expression is individual, so the gendered concepts you hold for 'woman' aren't going to be the ones I hold. Thus is seems unlikely that we're referring to gender or nobody would be able to understand each other.

Also, we refer to people by the same pronouns whether they're awake or sleeping, cross dressing or not, which changes their gender expression, but not their sex.

> If we refer to sex, a woman/lady is someone with a vagina.

Which we do. Yes.

> So yes, if you call someone a mail lady, you literally are describing her as a mail carrier with a vagina.

No. I'm also not describing her as a bipedal humanoid. Some things are just expected unless you say otherwise.

> the cute ginger mail lady with blue eyes

Yes, lady. Okay, so no suggestion.

> But in most situations, that would be quite inappropriate.

Right, right, human attraction is verboten.

I think this is true for Javascript and as a result old code still runs. I think that's great. But there's also an absolute minefield of bad features that don't get deprecated.

Not that that's not addressable with tooling or feature limiting version flags.

Your point stands, but they arguably do compete with banks through their credit cards/financing. Not sure how it looks in other countries but here in Japan it’s not insignificant. Right now they do it through a JV or sth with SMBC but surely it’s just a matter of time until they get serious there.

More successful Romanian owned businesses, especially international ones plus, I think, better EU funds use. EU funds are not exactly Romanian funding but are earmarked for Romanian development so they're not far off, and we're super bad at utilizing them fully.
This mentions the Wisconsin 'factory," which is some sort of weird scam/distraction. So if they claim they will develop or build EV tech there then they aren't working on it. They do legitimate business elsewhere, maybe the Mexico facility will be real, maybe the platform is real, but if they are "working on" "developing" "EV tech" at their potemkin facility in Wisconsin you will know it is a lie.
Given the context, it's clearly a joke. Pretty clever and funny too, IMO.

My first paid job was an internship at a research institute where I had to examine buckets of bycatch and count how many of various species had been caught. I think it was from shrimp fishing and the bycatch was just small fish (1 to 6 inches).

For some fish, we would figure out their age by looking at some tiny bone pieces under a microscope and counting rings, similar to tree rings.

I have no idea how I ended up in that job, I have no interest in fish or fishing or the ocean.

Funnily enough, the current state of the art in understanding GPLv2 is completely opposite (albeit disputed, see SFC vs Canonical on ZFS in Linux).

The critical part is whether the software is derived, as that is the language used by GPL, and it can be hard to claim that optional line editor - as many other lisp implementations showed, you can really go far with dumb (loop (print (eval (read))))

However, RMS had an obvious agenda involved, and libreadline was one of the major cugels used by FSF for significant part of 1990s. There's a reason why the term "GPL virality" stuck.

My position at the moment is that I'll get vaccinated when they stop demanding it & it's finished the normal FDA approval process.

I've seen way too many 180deg reversals from the people that typically treat "profit-based" healthcare with a complete critical attitude.

Combine that with the extreme theater and propaganda efforts for complete conformity, i.e. forcing everyone to wear masks even people that can reasonably be considered extremely low risks like those that were previously infected or vaccinated. It just doesn't make sense, since they demand maximum evidence from their detractors and minimum evidence for when they put forward various threats, risks and fears.

People can get defensive when you say things were done the wrong way directly. Hence, 'going forward' and not 'This is wrong'.
