Ah yes, nothing like exploiting teenage girls and pretending to be feminist liberal progressive while doing it! There is no physical pimp in this case, but lots of viral marketing duping immature teenagers into believing they can make it by selling their dignity. I don't care if some 30 year old person wants to make a life out of camming, but don't come here pretending like Onlyfans is some force for good. And then you dare criticize people like me who call a spade a spade, instead of criticizing the people profiting from this scam.

I cannot stand this manufactured outcry over a nothing burger.

The EU wanted to make a big deal out of selling citizenship. Like how DARE Cyprus sell citizenship that comes with EU membership! No, rich people should sign up for an """investment""" VISA from the Netherlands instead! That's how they should be let in. The Netherlands is an honorable upstanding country that most definitely would NEVER allow questionable people to get into the EU, definitely no mafia clans or terrorists, not like that place is a hub for narcotics and weapons trafficking. But Cyprus, bunch of brown quasi-orientals selling EU membership! How DARE they!

I wonder what will happen with the vaccine deals that governments have been doing. Like, what if they pre-ordered from one manufacturer whose vaccine proves inferior to the other ones?

I think the more tactful way to go about this is to create a subscription support program, and ask all commercial users to sign up to get priority support. Or just create separate commercial licenses for commercial use.

Why are you putting the blame on the whole of humanity? Go place the blame on well off white western women, who are probably the main consumers of such products. I literally never owned anything made of out fur, let alone mink fur.

Lawyers saw that he was very rich so they predicted a decades long legal battle and made it happen. That's my guess.

E-bikes are the worst thing on Dutch cycling paths. I experienced them for two years. People speeding irresponsibility on these things going 40kph and practically inaudible. They just zoom past you and you're completely unaware of their presence until the last couple of meters. A big danger to cyclists, moped riders and pedestrians.

Last I touched Lisp I had settled on Chicken Scheme after trying them all. Don't quite remember why.

Bad guys will always exist and will always take advantage of whatever vulnerablities we create.

The other involved parties Googled the stuff, maybe.

The supply chain that caters specifically to ICEs is huge and all of that will have to go when electric motors replace ICEs. The same goes for all the technology, tooling and expertise that goes into creating today's ICEs. Imagine how many people are experts at just one tiny part of ICE technology. They might have 20 to 30 years experience all of which will be worthless after a transition to EVs.

I feel like nobody is addressing the elephant in the room: If you're getting your information about anything from Youtube, you're part of the problem.

Yes.

For simulation type jobs where you are solving PDEs for some kind of nontrivial domain: * universities sometimes have scientific programmers * national labs in your country will definitely have some people doing such work * big names in industry, engineering and manufacturing e.g. in the past petroleum exploration companies used to hire quite a few people * boutique consulting firms that you never heard of (you need to do a lot of research in your area to find them) * Mathworks and similar names that develop engineering software

For programming jobs including some math in general, well I'm jumping on the hype train that is ML/DL because the jobs are more numerous and pay better even when factoring in the currently hype.

Why such high tech? CNCs have been around for ages and can do the job just as well.

They (and Google, Youtube ...etc) should reprogram their recommendation engine to ignore political content altogether (not just the hateful content). If a person clicks on video by whatever party they shouldn't be immediately bombarded with propaganda content from that side of the political spectrum.

FYI, there are also offline and free locally running apps that you can use: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing#Mobile_device_so... I used OSMAnd and it works better than Google Maps for my area.

Thanks. It does feel the same here. The jobs are quite niche and the pay not so great (comparatively to the demands of the job), and often a Ph.d is required.

I do that too. May I ask if you work for a university or national lab or industry and how competitive the pay is? I work for a university and the career prospects don't seem so good for me at this point.

Are you in the simulations/HPC field by any chance? If so do you mind telling me what it looks like in terms of career prospects from your vantage point? Also if not in that field can you elaborate a bit more on what industry you are applying your skills to? You don't have to be very specific. I ask because I have the exact same skill set and am in search of what to do next.

These environmentalists come off as quite selfish if I might say so. They take public land who belongs to all and redevelop it into their "dream" whatever it may be, and they do not care at all how it impact other people who previously used that public land or people who live nearby. I am not a big fan of these rewilding policies. There are only a few open spaces left where one could previously take a relaxing hike (in Germany). I do not want to have to worry about wolves and bears and bison when I go for a hike in these places. I really don't see how the benefits outweigh the costs.

What I find interesting is how the story is framed. In particular why do articles about corruption in the US (and other first world countries), never feature the word "corruption" explicitly? It is implied that there is corruption but it is never explicitly stated. If this article was about some less developed country, the word would appear endlessly throughout the text. Seems like western journalists have bias when it comes to using that word.

And such papers are not available on sci-hub?

The problem seems to me, that Mozilla does not have a platform of users to market to, whereas all their competitors do. It's really the marketing part where Firefox is falling short and I am not sure they can ever do much better on that front.

Regarding Send/Teleconferencing, I think that made sense to. In theory you don't need anything as complicated as Skype or Teams or Zoom and lots of people, me including, use VOIP a lot. It would have been nice to have a simple click to call on the browser itself. Same goes for sending files with a click. Utilities that lots of people use and would give the browser a boost. Unfortunately I think these products failed because the sort of person who needs them is the sort of person who does not like learning new things so even if their current method is 8 steps and takes addition software and is not free, they will keep with what is currently working for them. Again this might also be Mozilla's marketing falling short.

You say in jest, but this simple upgrade very likely improves the lives of more people more significantly than some billion dollar unicorns ever do.

Why not just build a house with very thick stone outer walls? Seems like all the advantages and none of the disadvantages.

There is also Magento. Lots of the older web retailers are probably running Magento if not their own in house stuff.

I am trying to get into ML in general and I am having a bit of a problem. I don't know what is what and I lack a basic trajectory. Fortunately I have all the mathematics prereqs so I can just jump in. What I need is some sort of up-to-date overview of everything ML so that I know what topics to study in which order. Does anyone know of such a thing?

How is that relevant? I don't care about the relative gap in whatever other country. I don't live in the US (although I wish I did). In Germany, I see average compensation for a SWE 65k€ whereas management at the same company can have upwards of 300k€. Especially bad if you work a tech job at a non-tech company. There is definitely a culture of rewarding management with money and employees with "stability" which means accepting lower pay in return for not being fired.

American salary: .... Dutch salary: .... American job market: .... Dutch or (even EU) job market: ....

They are not comparable. In the Netherlands and Germany it feels like the only employees who make good money are management. Engineers are never going to be rich from working as engineers. The only way to make it is to break into management, and the odds are against you.
