Why would that make more sense than profit per employee or (sub)contractor per hour if we’re trying to measure efficient use of human capital?

Not at all. The Soviet Union was a self-proclaimed multi-ethnic state that was only Russian in the sense that the Russian soviets were the largest and dominated political life.

(From the article) Trains need sand, water, coolant, and other materials for normal operation. These need to be regularly resupplied (at depots). Hence, a typical system would be to dedicate each locomotive engine to a stretch of track (the

Civil engineers also have professional associations and certification boards backing them up in most jurisdictions whereas we do not. We don’t have anything to appeal to when we go to our boss with ethical concerns besides, well, our sense

I'll concede that the story is different when you're relying on commercial software that you've purchased to implement an algorithm correctly, but in the limited case of replicating results (whether they're flawed or not

Hasn't Foursquare been doing this and nothing but this for ten years now?

Why should we assume that being one or two generations removed from subsistence farming implies that a user is naive? There are plenty of naive persons worldwide who grew up in middle class households in the West who are just as naive. I do

Who really won though? Does anyone buy tablets anymore? I feel like I haven't seen one since 2015.

I doubt iOS devs are very high up on the list of parties to please with this move

This seems exceptional for Velodyne to come out with a statement like this directly from a spokesperson. I would expect a supplier to be more restrained before throwing a large (and growing) customer under the bus like this.

I interpreted "the workplace" as him referring narrowly to white collar work (either in an office doing clerical/technical work or in a mobile setting like a salesperson).

I've never really understood why this is hard for people, especially in the era of Github where anyone and everyone can open an issue or pull request and generally be taken seriously.

That seems like the only way out of this mess. Reading this, there's not a good reason to not sell user data to interested third parties if the only consequences are getting your app removed and your account suspended.

None of these should conflict with Anaconda (or at least Continuum conda, I'm not that familiar with what else is out there) unless you put the conda root bin directory on your path.

I'm not sure how much I buy most of what you're saying beyond in loco parentis causing a ballooning in staff and legal costs. Title IX related activism is a relatively new phenomenon, and I don't think we can attribute older

He's using "product" to contrast derivatives and more exotic exchange traded instruments (that are often developed like products, i.e. with marketing and salespeople) with more traditional instruments like stocks and bonds. T

I bet what OP is seeing is in response to that. Detroit is likely a much more common search, so to keep that populated, they just collapsed all of Dearborn into it.

This also isn't necessarily true. Take the example of TensorFlow. You build a representation of the computation you want to run, and then you can run nearly the whole thing end-to-end in native C++ using Eigen data structures, with occ

I think massive endowments (foundations, trusts, universities, etc) are pretty clear effects of a large wealth divide

I feel like you're missing their point. You can make the case that a gender studies degree prepares you for a mostly academic career only insofar as companies aren't creative enough to find a way to use the unique skills that some

You can only stay for ninety days at a time on a tourist visa (the point of which is to prevent you from taking a job and sticking around)

So you build that and then do some sort of full scan over the pixels to figure out what's hidden? Sounds really slow

Read two posts above you. We were talking about how one of the founders is a public racist, but how Vice's current editorial approach seems to have move passed that. I don't think it's controversial that sexual misconduct is

Letting sources be anonymous doesn't preclude you from being diligent about the veracity of your sources' claims. The sources aren't anonymous to the journalist.
