I can think of a few reasons:

In many European countries, the five-year master's is still seen as the primary undergraduate degree, at least in universities. (There may be other more applied institutes with shorter degrees.) When most students are expected to graduate with a master's instead of bachelor's, the program is likely to be more theoretical.

Elite schools are a foreign concept in many European countries. In such countries, ambitious students motivated by status and success are more likely to pursue a professional degree such as law, medicine, or business. The ones that choose an academic program such as CS are more likely to be motivated by the subject matter itself.

You don't see a representative sample of European graduates. Moving to another country requires huge sacrifices. Most people from wealthy countries are unwilling to make those sacrifices simply to get a better job. Those that do emigrate for work tend to be more career-oriented than the average.

Simple solutions are great and I find seam carving elegant, but maybe that's an application where machine learning can shine?

As globally the task is defined as displacing pixels while minimizing a perceptual loss, it should be reasonably easy to express in a differentiable way. The benefits I see are higher quality semantics preservation, and potentially faster inference (one pass only).

The recent development of transformer models might provide just the tool to tackle variable sizes efficiently, maybe I should give it a go

Yes it's the first thing I do when I install a new browser. I'm not sure how well that protects me from tracking but I do notice that the creepier kind of stuff stops happening. I've also noticed that it's been getting harder and harder to find and activate the third party cookies block with successive version of Chrome.
Start in the pressure cooker, glaze, then put under the broiler for 10 min. It gives a nice bark.
Rant ON.

Third party cookies are surveillance tech. So is FLoC. There is no need to track a person from one web site to another like some stalker. Any tech to stalk people like this isn't a good idea in general.

This is antithesis to multiple business models. I know. But I see no reason to accomodate faulty models. Ironically however, I'm not against advertising. But my experience with targeted ads is that they are useless anyway. I remember having gone to plenty of websites searching for very specific but commonly bought car parts. Google had full transactions as I wandered through various websites. Google searches etc all that data along with time of day. Did they provide useful ads? No. Really? That was with third party cookies enabled. I've been looking for parts and am actively buying parts and yet no useful ads, even from parts competitors? All that tech and I'm still having to dig around for suppliers? What about tools? Nope. Not a single relevant ad. Even with access to my search history. Not even when I have purchase receipts emailed to me. Amazon footprints, emails etc going to gmail. Searches done while logged into chrome.

Can't help the feeling that this stalking actually has little to do with real advertising and is more about authoritarian ideals. Real advertisers would have an advertising arrangement set up with each website. Then just cross reference the first party cookie ids in aggregate. Third party cookies were never necessary. So this leaves us with the third party cookies purely for stalking purposes.

So I gave up. Now I just use ddg and figure that the tracking is purely for surveillance. I have no guilt now in dropping third party cookies.

Perhaps, instead of using surveillance tech, why can't I tell google search I'm doing a project involving cars. And it goes and does its correlation magic to explore what I actually use and need. It could do actual linking. Show me actual suppliers. Affiliate links. I could add additional searches and attach them to the project as well. Eg add a line item for insurance, etc. now google knows I need insurance as well. Show me options. More opportunities...

But that would all be useful. It would help advertising and drive sales.

And this tracking is really about surveillance, isn’t it...?
This is really excellent to know.

Presumably then, not only will wrapping in foil at the 170°F mark skip the stall, but it will also result in moister meat since you're not losing all that water to evaporation?

Years ago, I figured out that essentially steaming pork ribs and then finishing them at high heat resulted in the juiciest tender ribs I'd ever had. (As well as being much faster.)

I know the concern with wrapping pork and brisket in foil is in not having a bark... but can't that be somewhat alleviated by finishing it off at high temp without foil, once it's hit the desired internal temperature? Or is there something uniquely special about a "slow-cooked" bark that's worth the overall loss in moisture, that high heat can't accomplish?
>currently the most accurate way to measure aging

I don't understand what people mean by statements like this. Per the Wiki page, they found something that on average is highly correlated to chronological age.

But in individual cases, it may be off a little or a lot. What tells you this is meaningful information and not random noise? What is the reference point for the "real" age that is not chronological age?
I'll vouch for that. I hadn't even heard of lichess, just went looking for an Android chess game to play to pass the time. The app is stellar, and not full of garbage like the others.

My only complaint is how it's pronounced. Can't help but think of leeches.
Chernobyl and Fukushima cleanup length and cost are a byproduct of this belief:

"The official model guiding US government policy, both at the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), is the Linear No Threshold model (LNT). LNT says that cancer risk is directly proportional to dose, that doses are cumulative over time (rate doesn‘t matter), and that there is no threshold or safe dose.?

The author points out that the danger of long term low level radiation is much smaller than what is commonly believed, which means that cleanup does not need to be as thorough and expensive.
I’ve done similar with sous vide the difference being of course much lower temps and that it’s over days but it’s basically hands off for the whole cooking time and you can get a fairly decent crust by smoking it for a couple hours before shredding it as smoke only penetrates the surface a little anyway.

Negative, you may have confused the US with Rome. The US is the beneficiary of tremendous natural resources, temperate climate across a vast geography, natural isolation from external threats, and mostly very stable governmental structures.
I own several Texas BBQ restaurants. We have a pitmaster but here are the things I know:

1. Not all beef/cattle are created equally. You must start with a high quality brisket. Just because it is a prime grade brisket is not enough. We tasted brisket from many farms and we centered on Creekstone Farms.

2. Not all smokers are created equally. Test the extremes including low-slow (12-15 hours) vs fast-high (8 hours). We found offset is good for low-slow, but gas powered is better for fast-high.

3. Not so secret: you must rest the brisket for 12 hours in a warmer after it is finished cooking. This gets the fat rendered inside, so you can get those grooves / mountains and peaks within the meat. This also achieves the most tender brisket.

4. Before wrapping with butcher paper, we put beef tallow on the brisket. This creates a juicier product for us.

5. Injecting and/or putting brisket slices in broth never worked for us. Instead of tasting like juicy brisket, it tasted like "brisket and broth".

6. We trim a lot to get a more even brisket with consistent height, and use trimmings for other products. Consistent height means your flat lean side won't dry out by the time the fatty point side is cooked.
I think personality issues are kind of overstated for interviews. Just about every industry has its fair share of jerks and sociopaths that throw people under the bus. Regardless, they have jobs, and almost all of them had to pass interviews to get into their respective companies. These are the workers that set the lower bar for entry into a job, and in the "right" companies, your personality would be passable by those standards to get hired.

> First of all, I think that ads in the Internet are important, it's a driving force. Without ads there will be no Internet with lots of "free" resources, everything valuable will be paywalled which is a problem for poor people and nuisance for the rest.

Wikipedia might just be the most valuable information resource there is with the Stackexchange network also ranking highly. The former has no ads and the latter has a negligible number. High-quality traditional media are often already pay-walled.
This.

I hope I won't offend anyone here but there's a story that seems quite appropriate:

When I was still living in the US, an acquaintance of mine once asked me, "So don't you think the United States are the best country in the world?" I was absolutely baffled. Putting aside for a moment that the US clearly did not rank "best" on so many scales, the question (to me, as a European) didn't even make much sense in the first place: What metric are we talking about? And what's the point of comparing countries on an absolute scale in the first place? No matter what metric we choose, it will never convey the full picture.

Sure, I enjoyed living in the US. But I've also come to enjoy living in other countries over the years and I know there are many more that I would absolutely love to live in. In any case, I don't think it would even occur to a European to call their country "the best". Our continent's history is so complicated and riddled with grave mistakes, wars and crimes, that a claim that one country were "better" than the other would just seem… strange. Everyone here knows that their neighboring countries are at least as beautiful as their own and every place and every mentality has its pros and cons.

Anyway, I ended up explaining my POV to said acquantaince and also said that, if he so insists on ranking countries in a such an absolute manner, then we would also have to talk about all those things in the US where there's still… room for improvement. We ended up having a long and fruitful discussion and he started agreeing with me (or so I thought) that the question might not make that much sense after all. Still, after an hour of discussing all this, he goes, in a very matter-of-fact way: "Everything you said is certainly correct. But I still think the US are the best country in the world."

At this point the only explanation I had left was that he must have been brainwashed properly in school, pledging allegiance to the flag and so on.

To the Americans reading this: Where do you think does this sense of "living in the best country in the world" come from? Where did you "learn" it? I'd really be interested in understanding this phenomenon better.

Yes, I think that undercuts a lot of the book / article unless you believe that the US is setting the standard here and everyone else just follows.
This doesn't tell us anything, and drinking water alone isn't enough. How much and how often did you drink water, and consume salt or rehydration salts. The latter is just as important as the former in keeping your body functioning. If you experience significant salt loss, you will get a headache as your body tries to maintain homeostasis. This is exactly one of the reasons for the headache part of a hangover, and if you adequately replenish your water and electrolytes, you will be vastly less likely to get one.

Oxford, like all research universities, owns and enforces IP. It does have "IP protection" and is an important part of the pharma industry.

Oxford, their partners AstraZeneca, as well as Johnson & Johnson (the latter two being pharma companies!) have all committed to distributing at cost — but not at a loss. They want to get paid back. The way they're getting paid back is because they can enforce IP law. If anyone could copy them without paying, as the author is proposing, they would not be able to sustain this kind of research.

At cost is very different than not enforcing IP law. IP law is required for "at cost." Otherwise it's distributed at a loss.
Yes, and then they too moved to the US to study or work.

You might be interested by Operation Paperclip [0].

The US was actively looking for key scientific talent in then devastated Germany to bring back home after World War II.

This concentration of talent, coupled with intense investments in fundamental research during the Cold War and better living conditions for scientists made it an obvious choice for any academic to relocate to the United States.

Even today, the US immigration system still has a preference for foreigners who can meaningfully contribute to the advancement of science.

People say how they hate surveillance tech, but at the end of the day, it pays half of the bills on this website.

Most probably, there is Google Analytics and Facebook pixel on the very site you are building right now.

So all these horribly, horribly outraged comments ring kind of hollow to me. I mean look at how many trackers are on The Verge site itself.

Yeah FLoC is horrible. I hope it dies in a fire.

It's just, people that build websites want tracking. And it works. Retargeting works, banners work. That's why it's everywhere, nonstop. We all do it, we secretly crave all the tracking data from our users. We are addicted to A/B testing and referrer tracking and ad revenue. So, I donno.

There is a reason why Google does this.

Also on a modern Apple device, you can use the Secure Enclave AES Engine to perform encryption and decryption. You can also use the Public Key Accelerator (PKA) for RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) signing and encryption algorithms with hardware keys that stay within the PKA. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/security/sec59b0b31ff/... covers an overview of the technologies involved. Of particular interest is probably the "Secure Enclave feature summary" at the bottom of that page which lists which Apple chips support which features.

Also relevant: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/certifica... and CryptoKit https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=3bwfq45y and https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cryptokit (Note that the Linux version of CryptoKit doesn't get any of the fancy hardware features, you'll need an Apple OS for them.)
I absolutely agree with your statement.

Anecdotally, the majority of targeted ads I see are for services or products I already use or pay for! That makes no sense to me. It does not drive loyalty, it simply annoys me. I’d opt out in a second if possible. Please give me contextual ads.
Sure it could. You can't just isolate some portion of a highly complex system and claim that the isolated portion will be beneficial in any similar system.

Just for an extreme example to make the point - say some diet included a poisonous component as well as the antidote. Those eating the diet may well be just fine. However if somebody else simply looked at the poisonous part and copied only that, they would not do so well.

I'm not saying sweet potatoes are bad. And I'm sure this was a somewhat flippant statement, but this is the kind of thinking we're very prone to and I think it's important to recognize when it actually tries to lead us down the wrong path.

I did this but did not have a meat thermometer nor did I rest the brisket in a warmer per se or wrap it (for lack of appropriate gloves). 15 hours was good for the point but there were spots in between the point and flat that turned out rarer than I would have liked and the fat didn't render as much as it could have (I used a 16 lb prime brisket and referred to the recent TX Monthly article that talks about the ATK recipe as well)
