This talks specifically about the regulated and licensed profession of “Engineering”, which excludes most of Software jobs.

This reads a lot like the central premise in "You" by Austin Grossman -- unkillable NPCs are occasionally found to be dead and that bug is threatening the entire game studio.

Canadians get access to TN class work visa. It's meant for temporary work, but gives a few years to figure out a more permanent approach.

At quoted "1.5 GB/inch^2" they are comparing their 100 layer medium against a single-layer 25GB bluray disc. At three~four layers, current bluray discs offer 100~128GB of capacity.

Archival Disc spec brings optical media to 300GB now, 1TB on roadmap.[0] This leaves current Quartz Glass an order of magnitude behind current optical media.

Looks like it could be a geocode problem. A search for "Fruitvale BART Station" on RadPad lands you in Old Oakland / Civic Center area.

Not "required", just that after Oct 2015 the merchants will become liable for fraud (instead of the banks), if they are not equipped for Chip and PIN (apparently "pay at the pump gas stations" get an extended date of Oct 2017 instead).

That page seems to be specific to desktop apps. Web and mobile apps are still available.

Edit: before the post title was edited, it suggested that all of Cloud Drive was being discontinued.

for fear of "FuckItDB" appearing in an exception call trace that a client might see.

Just wrap it with FuckIt.py (previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6858855 ) "to make sure your Python code runs whether it has any right to or not"

Too bad that the article talks about Baidu's office in Sunnyvale, California.

Somewhat misleading, as Andrew Ng had left Google in 2012 to co-found and run Coursera. Baidu got him back into AI/ML. More details on his own blog post from 3 months ago — http://blog.coursera.org/post/85921942887/a-personal-message...

Top 3 winners get $200, $100, and $50

Those are 2013 numbers. This year it's "all-expense paid trip to attend a one-day data visualization course", $500, and $250 for top 3 winners. But presumably this isn't meant to be done as a job.

Project Pigeon was American behaviorist B.F. Skinner's attempt to develop a pigeon-guided missile.

Is "bought from a store" a requirement here? I've built a small garden on my balcony, and it seems that such could meaningfully supplement a $35/week budget; especially given an objective of "organic".

I will likely spend up to 20% more to buy organic.

Apparently a lot — http://shazow.net/

This seems more a survey of compilers than programming languages. Python is represented by 3 different compilers, spanning 2 orders of magnitude in performance: CPython (155x), PyPy (44x), Numba (1.57x). It's hinted that C++ similarly depends on compiler choice:

although one needs to be careful with the choice of compiler [for C++ and Fortran]

The actual quote was

In addition to thinking about new sorts of jobs to replace lost jobs that aren’t coming back, we should probably think about things like a basic income.

So not necessary "basic income", and certainly for everyone. The reality is that many of the emerging economies are better (as in "cheaper") able to fulfill low-skill/high-labor positions, and not everyone will be able to transition into higher skill jobs.

We've seen a lot of success (~40% w/w growth, 100%+ m/m growth).

This _might_ be, in large part, seasonality. Once the school starts in September, most of the target demographic would have already found _some_ place to live for the school year.

The "Fire OS" has been around for a couple of years now, previously powering Kindle Fire devices.

... had to capture electricity consumption at a higher resolution ...

Interesting to note that at a high enough resolution, one can start extracting crypto keys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_analysis

walkscore can already map out all "within walking distance of grocery + rail" locations in Portland (and elsewhere). E.g. http://www.walkscore.com/apartments/search/Portland-OR?zoom=...

The actual scores would have to be looked up one at a time, on per-address basis (e.g. http://www.walkscore.com/score/320-pioneer-way-mountain-view... )

I've observed the same experience. Makes sense, considering:

That critical parts of the brain involved in decision-making are not fully developed until years later at age 25 or so. [1]

I went back to the Analytics Admin panel to double check, and it indeed looks like filters are applied to specific views. The tracking code collects data at the property level.

From https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2637192?hl=en

If the number of visits/sessions to the property in the given date range exceeds 250K visits/sessions, GA will employ a sampling algorithm...

It is important to note that session sampling occurs at the property level, not the view level.

So it sounds like reports will sample 250K from total traffic first, and apply the view filter after. This has the potential to be left with reports generated on too small of a sample.

That's most of the way there, but if there's sufficient amount of combined traffic, ad hoc reports will start populating from sampled data instead of showing exact results. This might prevent getting any meaningful data about e.g. how A/B test is performing when filtered to a specific segment.

Right now.

Any way to pick up elements that are on the page, but not necessarily clickable? E.g. the <title> element of the page.

For those with a preference for Coursera type of learning, there's a course coming up in April that will cover much of the same material — https://www.coursera.org/course/maps

Chrome doesn't run extensions by default in incognito mode.

Because Google Chrome does not control how extensions handle your personal data, all extensions have been disabled for incognito windows. You can reenable them individually in the extensions manager.

Keeping your gmail tab in an incognito window might be a good approach.
