I think it can very much be both. But I feel victims are underrepresented in the rehabilitation discussion. My inner moral compass says they should be involved and it shouldn't all be up to review boards. I'm fully aware that I ha

Do you also fundamentally oppose to contributing to FLOSS software because that's most certainly being used by for-profit companies. Or is that ok because others that don't profit from it can also use said software? I do something

Compared to "traditional interviews". It's probably well worth taking the risk of occasionally hiring someone like this. I'd say it's less likely to occur than someone who has more or less memorized some interview q

All these "yeah but imagine this horror scenario" (sorry to pick your example) descriptions sound like badly managed situations. Even in total failure situations like that...the foreman shouldn't be looking over your shoulder

I hear this argument quite often but my reaction tends to be... ...as someone that's fully employed I'm probably only looking at jobs I'm really interested in. I don't mind doing some free work for stuff I'm interes

Just a small/random additional tidbit...I'd guess that Münster is probably one of the cities in Germany with the most interest in good police work from a PR point of view because the German police university (Deutsche Hochschule d

I feel like murder (or most major crimes really) is a very special case. I'd prefer a system where the default is a life sentence (a lifetime for a life feels just) but the option to release after n years if relatives/family of th

I wonder what went wrong. Sounded like a pretty good concept overall. My guess is underestimating the volume of returns and generally margins in clothing retail. Possibly combined with a growth strategy that was too aggressive? Amoruso and

Yes :) Having lived in France I'd say switching from the French keyboard to most other western layouts is especially brutal (or making the switch in the other direction). Took me a good while to readjust to the numbers being on shift a

Very much disagree. Check out a small town in the South, some fishing village in the North East, go to Alaska or Hawaii, watch a high school Football game on a nice Friday night in Texas. Enjoy some Jazz in New Orleans...I think the USA is

Alternatively write some basic constructs (loops, functions etc.) in C and inspect the generated assembly. You have to fiddle with compiler settings a bit because the optimized output isn't very helpful but for me it was extremely help

Counterpoint: the classical POV is that you start with a niche and worry about crossing the chasm later (and they require very different marketing strategies etc.). I'd argue Tesla is a modern example of executing that overall strategy

Some sort of near eye light field display maybe? Funny company regardless with the hype updates and secrecy.

That's only a partial view. I could also say...many paintings that are considered art these days...big whooop they were just work for hire with specifications. Paint that daughter of this rich dude. Same for classical music...we need s

I have mixed feelings about Homebrew. Don't get me wrong, it's great, good job everyone involved. It makes my OSX laptop a viable development option for me. Without Homewbrew I wouldn't use it. Alas that's also the probl

I understand all the criticism and have held off on pre ordering one myself (still shopping for a good Linux laptop with solid battery and resolution+light weight) but some of the comments seem a bit ridiculous to me. 16 GB of ram as the ba

For me the GPU (even the 460) is the biggest disappointment. Doesn't look like it's good enough to support the VR hardware by Oculus or HTC. Maybe that was just a pipedream but I seem to recall Apple saying something along the lin

For a developer I'd say yes. For comparison the yearly salary for an entry level academic (masters->university) is about 44k € gross/year (which more or less automatically goes up to about 49k after one year). I'd expect a

So HTC recommends an RX 480 or up as a GPU for the Vive, how does the Radeon Pro 460 (highest available upgrade for the new MBP) compare to that? I read on Reddit that it's about 85% the power of an RX 460...so I guess not enough raw p

I pretty much only use ESC, F11 (show desktop) and F5 to reload the browser + the occasional f6 to jump to the browser address bar. I've also reversed the standard mapping so F11 is triggered without the fn-key.

I wonder if the bar will be customizable (both icons and functionality) or if we have to live with what Apple provides for different programs. Would love to map things I commonly do for bash or some generators etc. For touch typing I could

Especially in the US even a fairly simple "hybrid" self driving truck could probably provide some savings. Automate the long straight roads and let the driver take over for everything else. Depending on the route the sleep schedul

Not sure about US laws but in Europe there's mendatory rest periods for drivers. Drive n hours, sleep/rest m hours where m is relatively large. For an autonomous vehicle that time is reduced to zero (I'd assume)

I just read your team page and you feature Palantir somewhat prominently/proudly (you and Alina). If I feel uncomfortable with mass government surveillance, should I simply not apply for any sort of funding from your fund? I see no eth

I feel like a takeover is only a matter of time. If you're Alphabet or Facebook you're probably interested (I'd say Alphabet should be more interested, for Facebook it's probably mostly a blocker play). The question is h

Nominally Germany has a balanced budget. I agree it isn't really balanced and the big zero is just achieved via some shifting around of things. However the fact that the government jumps through all sorts of hoops to be able to say the

Why can't you use a debit card for that? Isn't having enough money in your checking account to reasonably afford all stuff you need to live basically proof of a good credit history? Isn't the best credit history one where you

Pretty much agreed. My rather simple (and completely argumentative) explanation is that Germans generally are less enthusiastic about taking on debt to finance things. Psychologically I'd say it's rooted in the fact that the resul

Very interesting and I haven't read much about the topic (yet) so excuse my pre-morningcoffee naive comment. I know very little about languages like Stan etc. but what's the reasoning of baking these "inference for free"
