I've been pulled over multiple times and have never been asked that question. All of our sample sizes are entirely too small.

That being said, instead of thinking about the question first and then asking if it points to racial profiling, start the other way: Do you think racial profiling exists? If yes, is it plausible that an officer would ask a non-white person this question after profiling?
Certifying the people only really allows for punishing the people responsible for not anticipating problems in their systems. To make the certification worth anything you'll need a set of guidelines against which these kinds of systems should be engineered. Formally verifying the system as a whole against those guidelines seems like a far more effective approach, as it (theoretically) results in the system itself being verified as safe.

If using Selenium's Python bindings, you can take a screenshot from
Selenium and convert it to OpenCV format like this:

cv2.imdecode(
numpy.asarray(
bytearray(base64.decodestring(driver.get_screenshot_as_base64())),
dtype=numpy.uint8),
cv2.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED)

(where `driver` is your WebDriver object, e.g. `WebDriver.Chrome()`).

Then to match that frame against a previously-captured "template" image,
you can use stb-tester's[1] "match" function[2] which allows you to
specify things like the region to ignore and tweak the matching
sensitivity.

I think it's easy to feel a lot of pressure at the beginning to know everything and to be productive right from the start. Hopefully this isn't necessary. Everyone will expect you to need to be familiarize yourself with the tools and the code base. They aren't paying you until September, and they know that.

Unless this is a short-time consulting gig, they haven't hired you for what you can do in the first month, but what you can do over the course of a year or two. It's okay to learn on the job; it may seem like a lot of time to you when you first start, but in the context of recruiting, your yearly salary and benefits, providing your office, etc, the time you spend learning in the first few weeks is nothing.

I think the most important thing is to be relaxed and have your non-work affairs in order as best as possible. You don't want to be distracted by stuff at home while you at work, if possible. If you are like me, you will also find it very hard to turn your brain off when you go home at the end of the day for the first month or two, and it's important to have things going that are interesting and relaxing (hiking, movies, craft, trivia night, whatever). And whatever those things are for you, do them a lot now while you have the time!!

Has everyone forgotten about the "family owned business" or the business where you just keep it? I feel like I'm saying something foreign, where it shouldn't be foreign at all. Why does everything have to come down to selling the company

Here's my point: Everyone believes in growth. And everyone believes in small business, but people also believe capitalism is fine the way it is.

And we can believe all of those things at once, and wonder why we have poor people in our society, cheque cashing stores and inequality.

You can believe in those three ideas all you want, but they don't believe in each other.

[edit: confirmed whilst I had the comment window open]
The author completely glosses over a crucial fact: an individual's face is representative of the lifestyle that he or she lives. Fat; thin; tan; pale; bearded; bald. Is your hair buzzed military grade, or does it spill over your shoulders? Do you take care of your skin? Do you wax your eyebrows?

Our faces certainly tell some sort of story, but there's more to it than bone structure and brow size.
any serious modelling will involve predictive runs with a starting point in the past, then matching the output to available actual time series data up to present time. I would be very surprised if this scientists' models were not subjected to this kind of routine testing.
Yep. Generally, as the advice goes, when you're looking for a rental property to purchase, anticipate property management fees and include those fees in your profitability calculations -- regardless of whether you're going to hire a property manager or do it yourself. If the purchase does not make financial/business sense when including those management fees, then it doesn't make business sense at all, and you shouldn't buy it.
Thanks for clarifying. Now it makes a lot more sense where this comes from.
There is no such thing as a "Beamtenbeleidigung" in Germany, though it is a quite common myth. People in office enjoy no special rights in that regard. There is a difference, though, in the law process. Insults as a criminal offense need a personal demand for a penalty to warrant persecution by the state. For people in office, this can be replaced by a substitution demand by the state, supposedly to warrant respect for office in general.

Then, there isn't a catalogue for insults and their penalty. That's because criminal law in Germany is driven by the idea that the thing to be penalised is the individual guilt, rather than an objective action. This has a lot of consequences, one of them being that your action is weighted by what you wanted when doing the potentially criminal action, i.e. the intent.

I guess you don't believe that with great power comes great responsibility. It seems to me that line of thinking that having control over other peoples lives doesn't require responsibility. That is the real problem here.

Judges, police, politicians all are very different from those of us not giving the power over others lives. You should expect them to behave accordingly or expect that they be locked away in prison or executed. Just like they do to other people often times wrongfully.

(preemptive) response:

Indeed during the recent dotcom mania a bunch of quack business writers suggested that the company of the future would be totally virtual -- just a trendy couple sipping Chardonnay in their living room outsourcing everything. What these hyperventilating "visionaries" overlooked is that the market pays for value added. Two yuppies in a living room buying an e-commerce engine from company A and selling merchandise made by company B and warehoused and shipped by company C, with customer service from company D, isn't honestly adding much value. In fact, if you've ever had to outsource a critical business function, you realize that outsourcing is hell

> He ordered her to put out her cigarette and to get out of the car simply to show her who's boss

Or maybe as he was in the traffic lane, and now that she was clearly irate and argumentative, he did not want to stand there waiting to be hit by a car... while trying to explain to her that he was just issuing her a warning with no fine.

> Sandra Bland -- as a citizen -- has no obligation to be polite and deferential.

Except she did have an obligation to comply with the order to get out of the car.

That's a projection of what you want to see.

In most real estate markets, it's going to be hard to rent out a single family home purchased in the past 5 years with positive cash flow, factoring in a property manager. The profit comes in when you account for appreciation of the property and the accumulation of principal. However, if you have the cash, this can be a good tax strategy -- trading an annual operating loss in return for long-term appreciation of the property.

There are plenty of people who have owned their homes for 10-20 years who can make a decent profit in renting them out.
I fail to see how that bears any relevance to anything I stated. Not that I necessarily fully disagree with your sentiment, but you're presenting a related yet different topic.

And the same resentment can happen if the founders are full time. This has happened to me 2x:

The first the sole founder was seen as fiddling while Rome burned, long lunches on with rich friends and always on the phone, never doing anything (and getting paid well for it). Now I recognize he was probably trying to line up another round - but this was dot.com 1.0, we were young and didn’t know how the game was played. Also he just wasn’t good at communicating this downward - or at least as far down as we were.

At the second place the founders were all regarded as incompetent, and thus getting paid well for doing useless work. I think they where just nerds, and bad at interacting people.

I think management is hard and resenting your boss is common.
Down votes are incorrect.

Recruited means enlisted, hired. She was never hired, she was contacted by recruiters and interviewed. "Recruited" doesn't mean "contacted by recruiters" it means hired to do work. Recruiter - who hires/searches for "recruits". Recruit is a person that was recruited not contacted by a recruiter.
The assumption is that with a "family owned business," you're still running the business, right?

The OP is actually saying that's one of the viable options -- to keep the business and stay at the helm.

What he's arguing is that you're not likely to ever successfully be able to keep the business (not sell), hire someone else to run it for you, and never have to work again -- the obvious exception being e.g. Bill Gates (and the difference being that Microsoft was so huge and firmly rooted that he could hand it off).
Personally I would blame both. The manufacturers should be criminally liable if anyone gets injured and required to do a recall for defects. Security research should be legal and encouraged. However anyone that maliciously uses a defect to injure someone (or attempt to) should be treated as if they had used a physical weapon.
Nope. Not according to my understanding, and not according to dictionaries such as the Merriam-Webster:

recruit
verb re·cruit \ri-ˈkrüt\

: to find suitable people and get them to join a company, an organization, the armed forces, etc.

: to form or build (a group, team, army, etc.) by getting people to join

: to persuade (someone) to join you in some activity or to help you

"Recruited" definitely means she was hired. She wasn't, she was only interviewed four times and not given a job offer each time.

Is is possible the manufacturer is aware.

When Ford released the Pinto, they determined the cost of simply paying out potential lawsuits for driver deaths would be less than the cost of actually fixing the cars' tendency to explode when rear-ended, so they just let people die until the numbers balanced out[0].

Granted, that was a hardware issue and not a software issue, but if the risk of a class-action lawsuit is involved, and that risk is magnified by a recall or public awareness of the problem, then the motivation may be the same.

>In the very near future, you might have to become 'certified' as a programmer for anything that touches the internet.

I think a better option would be to mandate that certain things can't touch the internet. It would be absurd if I, someone who writes PHP/SQL and C# crud apps for a living, had to be certified as a systems programmer (or the other way around.)

The problem to me is the insidious way we as a society have sort of collectively accepted that connecting things to the internet is inevitable and always a good idea. Instead of making sure the engineers who connect the car's brakes and steering to the internet through the radio are competent, how about not making that decision to begin with?

The missing piece if the puzzle is that the road to passive income is passive investment. Cashing out and investing the proceeds in suitable syndicates is the what is likely to work. If you retain significant equity, you didn't cash out and you've got a passive investment portfolio with no diversity.

What size company is he talking about -- 5 employees? 15? 50? 500? 5,000? Public companies are certainly run with ownership being different from management.

But if we're talking about a 15-person company, the author says:

"This means that before long there will be a general feeling of resentment, after all if you (and possibly your co-founders, also lying on the beach) are going to receive all or at least a very large chunk of the profits then why do all the hard work?"

That big chunk of profits comes from the fact that you took the initial risk, you worked the endless hours at the beginning, you created the whole thing in the first place. Why on earth should they resent you continuing to take your fair share of the fruits of your previous labor? If they have a problem with that, the problem isn't with you, it's with capitalism in general.

You do need to make sure everyone continues to be appropriately invested in the company, including the new CEO. But the idea that you should either run a company or not own it at all is ludicrous -- taken to its logical conclusion, this means investors shouldn't exist!

Of course, that smartass approach may get you more crap in the future.
Yeah, I think what really killed Plan 9 was that they went out of their way to torpedo compatibility with Unix software.

It's a shame, because Plan 9 had so many brilliant ideas, but once you have a mature ecosystem, incompatibility is a killer.

Anyone who let through a massive Unicode bug into production, you can feel slightly better now that the world's biggest music retailer broke sales in their second biggest market...
I have my own idea of why music is so important to our species.

It started out as a programming bug ("auditory cheesecake"): certain arrangements of sound hijack the brain's ability to recognize patterns and emotions in pitch of voice, creating an emotional response in the listener. The best musicians are those who are best at manipulating their listeners' emotions in this way. It's not hard to see how this made them more successful reproducers early on.

At this point people could have evolved to be better at resisting this sort of manipulation; however, this proved to be too high an evolutionary hurdle to overcome. Instead, the people who were most susceptible to this manipulation actually gained an advantage -- Since they were most likely to mate with musicians, their offspring were most likely to become the best musicians in the next generation!

Thus, a positive feedback loop was created where successive generations became more musically-talented and more susceptible to the effects of music.

If you find this hypothesis interesting, I highly suggest Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene. I think he calls this general phenomenon the "sexy male" hypothesis.

After the first interview she was re-contacted by the Google recruiters who told her she had done very well in her interview, and that was why they were contacting her for other positions.
Maybe. It is very hard to prove one way or another.

The only way to "prove" discrimination is to show a pattern of behaviours rather than isolated incidents. That's what lawsuits like this often hinge upon, they will use discovery to primarily prove that discrimination is occurring.
I might not sit there and get shit-talked to, but it is a police officer's job to deal with troublesome people in a manner that is safe, calm, professional, and respectful to all those involved. Your implicit acceptance of the "play nice to cops" game ignores the possibility of systemic biases present in "the game".

I always find it ironic that, for example, the NYPD's slogan is "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect"... I have no doubt that the majority of interactions between citizenry and police are filled with all three, but it's the sore thumbs like the OP that are truly glaring.
Web servers usually scale better than (traditional) databases, so it makes sense to not offload computation to the database, even if it means that there's an overhead.

If he had said "this is just a warning, there's no fine or penalty" (as he did with the first woman) the stop would hae been very much shorter.

His own actions prolonged the length of time that he was standing in the road. His own needless power-tripping prolonged the stop.
For testing Mithril.js, I wrote a mock window object, which allow you to do things like simulate requestAnimationFrame clicks, JSON-P calls and browser quirks from non-browser environments (e.g. from a Node.js script). So to test, you simply swap `window` with the mock and you can drive your fake browser however you wish.

You can cover a lot of ground with that approach and make an extremely fast test suite that is suitable for a save-refresh-test workflow and then you can put trickier tests in a secondary test suite that you only run once in a while (e.g. before a commit)
