I accepted a request from a recruiter I didn't know and he pitched me a job for a company he recruits for and helped me through the process, even pushed them after the interview to make a decision sooner than they normally would. I got the job and I love it.
Back to analog for forensic evidence? Those are harder to fake.
If there is a video footage of something it may not stand as a proof on its own. Other bits of evidence from multiple sources and in different forms will have to align with what the video shows to form a consistent view.
I've been using iPhone 4S since 2011, and been eyeing that iPhone SE for a while. Hope this reduces its price. I really enjoy having a cheap phone that does all I need it to.
Relative numbers are meaningful however. If manufacturing has *added* 327,000 jobs in the last 12 months, that's how many people are making probably significant contribution to their household income. Of course the question is how many jobs went away, but you can imagine if it's anywhere near say 50,000 we'd hear it.
Posted this before -- I undid everything I've ever done on FB with the Socialbook Post Manager, so now my FB account is really just a contact list.
People always speculated FB may disappear due to users moving to different social media, they never guessed it may go away because people can't stand any social media anymore.
If it really happens I'll give Trump credit for that.
function myFunc( arg )
if ( f1(arg) ) call do_A();
if ( f2(arg) ) call do_B();
In your tests, you can call myFunc first such that it only calls do_A(), then call it again such as that it only calls do_B(). You will achieve 100% coverage, and yet a call to myfunc in your app in the field that makes the function call both do_A() and do_B() may cause the app to crash.
This is not to say that coverage is useless, but that often is far less predictive of robustness than it would appear to be, and may lull the developers into thinking they have tested the app enough.
I believe those successful business people don't pay for information as much as they pay for the feeling they get from it, that they are on top of things and are in the company of great intellectuals. They can also for example feature The Economist on their desks or in their waiting rooms and thus elevate their appearance.
But I'm not at all saying The Economist is a bad product, on the contrary I think $130/yr for that kind of satisfaction is actually money well spent. I'm just saying the predictive value of their articles is very small.
I used to think so about unit tests until I read "Why Most Unit Testing is Waste" by James Coplien (https://rbcs-us.com/documents/Why-Most-Unit-Testing-is-Waste.pdf). It caused quite a stir on Reddit and YC in 2014 when it appeared, and Coplien published a sequel (https://rbcs-us.com/documents/Segue.pdf). From time to time is rediscovered and creates the same controversy.
I was very opposed to it in my first reading, but on subsequent readings and checking out arguments on the boards I slowly came to be in favor. Then as an experiment I ditched almost all unit tests and started only writing functional tests and I'm sure I'm seeing a better payoff. Just the other day my functional test caught a very nasty bug introduced by a coworker where the results of some key calculations were off by 2-10%. I'm sure no unit tests of mine would have caught that bug of his. So for the moment I am a believer, and Coplien gives some good empirical and logical arguments in favor of it.
That I still do TDD about a third of the time, making a functional test before I write the code.
The Economist is what Nassim Taleb calls IYI -- intelectuals yet idiots. They write what everyone in the IYI circles already think, right or wrong, but they make it sound more intelectual without adding any real depth to it. Proof of that is their poor track record in forecasting.
By TDD do you mean unit testing or more of a functional testing? I got cooled off from unit tests, in favor of functional ones (spanning multiple classes/modules). The rest has been my experience too.
I'm interpreting your post as a desperate subconscious wish for someone to prove you wrong. "You" as in what you consciously believe.
I can't be that person, sorry. But if if my interpretation is correct it shows there's a part of you that still wishes to believe, to dream, to hope, to live. Try to find a way to give that part in you a little more space to spread, to grow, to flourish. It will make life feel good again.
Are you sure you're replying the right post? I never mentioned "Real Americans" nor have heard the phrase in a long time nor even if there "Real Americans" existed what they'd have to do with all this. But you did quote my post, so I'm confused?
I see very little "hostile" trump news on the google news front page
#1 link on Google News right now: "Trump slams Google search as rigged -- but it's not: CNN". That is a fairly hostile title, and outside of any news network's competency, including CNN's, to say if it is or not without a deeper analysis. (The irony of the link notwithstanding.) Under "More Coverage" under that very first link, #3 is "Debunking Donald Trump's latest conspiracy theory on Google", also by CNN, ironing the irony quite a bit further.
Interestingly the second link is "Canada rejoins talks to stay in NAFTA, deal possible this week: Reuters" is completely along the line of Geopolitical Futures' prediction.
So maybe instead of being a bunch of hateful fucks, those yokels could work together with the hated city folks to address those issues. Instead, they'd rather be spiteful shitheels doing shit like rolling coal.
The only hate I see is coming from your post. You may (and I'm sure you do, from your perspective) have personal reasons to be angry at them but you are the only one who can decide if you'll let it consume you or not is yourself.
Imagine if an academic wrote this about practicing software engineers: "So maybe instead of being a bunch of hateful fucks, those yokels could work together with the hated university folks to address those issues. Instead, they'd rather be spiteful shitheels doing shit like using NoSql databases." What would you think of him?
(In?)arguably the nation ended up more neurotic after eight years of that President. It may have had nothing to do with him, it could have been better or worse without him, it's unknowable. But the fact is people are more torn inside now. Something is not working, or is working less. As Luis CK would say, "Everything is amazing and nobody's happy." That internal friction has exploded and resulted in conservatives embracing Trump and Democrats embracing identity politics. They are the antithesis of each other and are a symptom of a collective internal strife that needs to be resolved in -- I believe -- exactly the way it is unfolding.
Right on. I've been saying that for a while, people are focused on whether what Trump said is true or not, where all that matters is what effect it achieves. He tweets something and the idea enters the public consciousness, typically further polarizing people, but those are sometimes ideas worth discussing.
I go to Google news to check the pulse of the left world, though occasionally a Fox News article slips in, then I go to Fox News for the pulse of the mainstream conservatives, and occasionally check Breitbart or Vox to get the reading on the far ends. Though in reality most of it I see as entertainment, the understanding or something close to it I get from Geopolitical Futures. For example they said long time ago that what matters in a trade war is not the rhetoric but what % of a country's GDP is export. If it's a lot, it will have to bend to the will of the one that imports a lot and exports less, and that's exactly what we see happening with China, Mexico, and what we will see with Canada.
All that said, Trump benefits from hostile mainstream news, in the eyes of supporters and probably a good deal of independents, if such people exist with respect to Trump.
It's supposed to prove that "Additional observational research, including studies using different designs, is necessary for further research development in homeopathy."
Those are scientists in the disciplines that need to have "science" in their name, such as social science, political science and so on, so it is obvious to all, especially grant committees, that those actually are real sciences.
Misunderstanding on my part -- and my bad. I thought you were speaking of people like JB Peterson (though he is not the only one with that message).
As for the rest, I agree with you. FWIW I refuse to take part in the neurosis of everything being labeled as offensive. A couple of years ago I would write things like if the user wants to close the app they need to blah blah, now I say he.
All that said I'm optimistic that we as humanity are slowly pulling back from that neurosis and into more sanity. For a couple of decades anyway.
PS I'm not as defensive of video games as I should be just b/c I'm grumpy and I don't like the new ones very much, they seem too scripted for my taste, I grew up on the likes of Doom and Half Life. But a couple of months ago I was testing a setup with a large TV screen and I played the latest God of War gameplay from youtube, and it was spectacular. Not necessarily to play but to watch, I understood better for the first time in what predicament those young men are, life sucks women are impossible to deal with, job prospects are poor, you don't feel like exercising or even walking much and then you come home and turn on your TV in a dark room and for a few hours you're a god. No wonder they prefer to escape from the difficulties of real life.
Angry is not the right word. Rather they are saying it's harmful for the society and harmful for them. Per CG Jung, if you would take his word, "Deviation from the truth of the blood begets neurotic restlessness ⦠Restlessness begets meaninglessness, and the lack of meaning in life is a soul sickness whose full extent and full import our age has not yet begun to comprehend."
I've experienced period of that in my life, and from my perspective there is truth to that.
Considering our present knowledge of the human body, healing in general is often the result of "magic". We may observe that something happened but do not know why that happened. If that's not magic, I don't know what is.
"CONCLUSIONS: Homeopathic intervention offered positive health changes to a substantial proportion of a large cohort of patients with a wide range of chronic diseases. Additional observational research, including studies using different designs, is necessary for further research development in homeopathy."
Again you do not observe the chemical effect of sugar pills in isolation. The "system" here is the patient with his own motivations and concerns and the homeopath to talks to him and gives him herbal remedies and other advice.
Your name calling is stupid and your views are limited -- and limiting -- but I respect your zeal for wanting to know reality. That quality seems to be depressingly rare among intellectuals today. Check out the book "An Introduction To General Systems Thinking" by Gerald Weinberg, written in the 70s and stood the test of time.
A properly designed and executed double-blind study will have the same results regardless of where it's done.
This article of faith reminds me of what Nassim Taleb said, "We have managed to transfer religious belief into gullibility for whatever can masquerade as science."

They emphasized "skin color" in the headline because that's how you get eyeballs in 2018.
The irony is just a couple articles below is something about not merely trying to capture attention but providing quality instead.

VR is a great literary device for Sci Fi and techno thriller novels, such as Michael Crichton's Disclosure.
