I recommend you apply for the NSF GRFP Fellowship. It's the 16% chance Hail Mary that gets non-traditional hacktivists like you and me into top schools that wouldn't even read our applications without it. I have no masters and a 3.3 undergrad GPA in materials science but in the fall I'll be starting at a damn good ML lab in a damn good school. There's a bunch of reasons you (and you specifically) should apply:

1. It has a 16% acceptance rate compared to top schools ~2%. If you get the GRFP then you can get into many (but certainly not all) top schools regardless of what the official admission criteria says.

2. The NSF has different priorities than university admissions boards (long term potential as a scientist vs. grad school potential publishing papers.) This gives non-traditional candidates an edge since they can make a credible case that their background will support real world impact of their research.

3. The NSF specifically asks for "broader impact" in your past and future work. I think you've got this in spades. I related my political activities during George Floyd protests to the need for equitable, grassroots control of AI. I like to think the NSF does genuinely care about ethics. And if you're on their bad side then it's not like they can reject you twice, so it's a good gamble.

My contact is on my profile; let me help you write the NSF app and maybe even your school ones. Same offer for anyone else out there who's been fighting the good fight.

I was there a decade ago and many foreign run startups were adamant about not hiring Singaporeans for creative or software engineering positions. Something something lack of initiative and free/critical thinking skills. The admin and finance side were mostly Singaporeans though.

To be fair, I am an ex-Singaporean and no longer keep up with matters concerning the island. Left because of the stifling (physical/cultural/political) environment. I visit every few years and find little has changed in those regards.

In principle I would feel the same as you, but if one looks at the science of the development of human fetus versus what we, the humanity do with animals with completely developed nervous systems, I believe that what we're doing to animals for meat production is uncomparably worse.

Who said anything about resting? I'm talking about exercise. The more you exercise, the more muscle you build, which makes you spend more energy while exercising.

Do you have any idea how much bodybuilders eat, without gaining any significant fat?

False. You can lose fat by exercising, without changing your diet whatsoever.

If there are a lot of partitions, then the difference is huge.

> I never made any technical mistakes. Everyone I hired was technically, up to snuff.

This itself would be a huge red flag in any interview process. If you think you never made any technical directions.

It's a false dichotomy to believe either tailor make the interview process or treat everyone like a college hire. Senior staff / staff positions also have a particular process, including writing exercises, explaining complex decisions, writing code, talking about system design and the various trade-offs.

> Every interview I ever did, was tailored to the applicant.

How do you make sure that your / someone else's biases don't creep into the interview if it's being tailor made.

What kind of diversity did you have at your previous job where the interviews were tailor made?

I have left Dev.to long ago after being one of the early adopters. The quality of articles is going down every time I visit the site. And this is absolutely not surprising: Dev.to encourages clickbait and low effort articles. Likes seem to be the thriving factor for pushing articles and you can even earn achievements for post with the most likes and views. A possible solution could be to ditch likes and view counts entirely, so people focus on the content instead of trying to publish articles with the most likes. Fight the root cause and not the symptoms.
Awesome. Will use that with my 5-year-old, who loves maps.
Python is OK for throwaway code, but I've mostly seen it used for big systems that people (for whatever reason) didn't think were important enough to write in a real language. The people with that opinion don't share your degree of rigor.

I usually avoid bugs in python code by rewriting in bash (at 1-10% the size of the original python, since bash's error handling can be set to "always do the right thing" with "set euxo pipefail")

If bash is a bad fit for the rewrite, go usually works. I don't work on linear algebra software much these days. Python seems to be a good option for that.

I get your point, but if you have to teach someone how to turn on a computer, privacy is not exactly a topic that is important for that same person. It might be important to you, that will implement some of the measures under the hood.

Used to control the spacecraft's orientation as it flies through space, guidance and navigation software help point its antenna toward Earth for communications and relaying data. The software also provides the spacecraft's propulsion system with trajectory information.

Somewhat mystified that this part of the mission isn't fully standardized, since it's not doing anything that multiple other probes haven't already. Then again mainstream news coverage is probably over-simplifying the matter.

The term blockchain didn't really exist before Bitcoin, and there isn't confusion about what people mean when they use it.

I'm pretty sure that if we researched the origins of the "git is a blockchain" meme we'd track it back to the community of crypto currency sceptics which I know you closely follow.

"A blockchain can be a useful data structure like the one git is using" isn't intended as a helpful clarification. It's an attempt to push for a change to the meaning of "blockchain" as originally (and currently) understood, to advance slight-of-hand arguments such as "blockchain was invented in the 70s, there is nothing really new here".

Uh, they specifically had technology and practiced agriculture in a specific way, not just randomly collecting shit and eating it. What century are you from that you think everyone but the modern human was just “hoping for the best”? Hawaiians were getting along really well with high quality of life until suddenly outsiders came in and utilized “modern methods” in everything, resulting in tons of damage to the environment.

Spaced repetition is a beast! I know it from my experience w/o software. I have some experience with Anki which is one of default apps on one of Linux distribs, but it did not worked for me because I do not start it daily :) and to be honest I do not know what info to load and to not load in Anki. For me paper seems to be more handy because it is simpler to write in it something, to read several times what has been written and to abandon what has been learned or obsoleted.
That's a pretty bold claim, do you have any sources?
There's a famous virtue-signaller in my area who drives to work every day (construction) with trump flags on his truck, and he pickets an intersection near my house with a "trump won" sign most weekends.

I'm not a person you need to convince. I'm already on your side that abortion should be safe and legal. The way to do that is to enact laws that guarantee the right to abortion.

People on the right are not a monolith. There may be a handful of lunatics who are raving about IVF or contraception, but that is not most of them. The pro-life people I've talked to online and in real life think abortion is just about irresponsible people who like to party and can't be bothered to worry about birth control. Ranting and raving at them about contraception and IVF is not going to convince them of anything as they have absolutely no opposition to either of those things.
Looking into this it looks like an oddity of trade statistics / bad reporting by the WSJ.

Singapore is both importing and exporting large amounts of high tech goods.

For example it imported 8.7bln USD of gas turbines and exported 9.2bln worth (https://oec.world/en/profile/country/sgp).

This makes sense when you think of Singapores position as a major trade hub.

It would be more interesting to see the domestic value add of the manufacturing industry.
IP and User Agent, for example. Goaccess[1], a tool to generate statistics from webserver logs, is capable of calculating unique users. Calculating unique views entirely on your own server without any of that data leaving it, is way more privacy friendly than urging your users into accepting cookies so that Google can harvest their data and send it to their US servers.

I wrote "disrespecting" because using GA is exactly this for me. Website owners give a f** about your user privacy just to save them some work, without caring about any of your users' data.

Now, IF this is true, it would also explain why it seems that the government is trying to cover up what happened at the institute. If this hypothesis were to be true, it might cause China/the CCP to lose face more than many other alternatives, as such corruption could be seen as a weakness of the current system.

A government that disobeys the will of the people will eventually be replaced by one that does. A functionally unamendable constitution + judicial restraint + a electoral system that grows less representative by the day is not a recipe for democracy, its a recipe for a form of minority rule, and the unrest that comes along with it.

That's not an authoritarian stance, it's a rational, observant one.

These are done as many countries have agreements that they won't charge the others citizens visa fees and allow them to obtain a visa on arrival.

You said:
1. Outlawing abortion isn’t helpful at all

Reality is if you ask someone 'do you have whatsapp' or just message them a lot more than 22% will have WhatsApp in a way or another I guess. Buts it's not what they choose if someone asks which app they prefer.

Just as nearly everyone I know has telegram but I highly doubt it's their main way of communicating for most.
