  1. Don't be an idiot. You need to brush up on peace keeping and peace enforcement missions. There have been quite a few, and many current ones. Information technology is a force multiplier and it is essential to allow field workers to communicate effectively.

  2. Human Rights violations have always been a hallmark of dictatorships - Assad, Saddam, Pol Pot, Duvalier, Milosevic, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, etc. Recognizing the occurrence in isolated regions and linking them spatially allows for faster and more targeted intervention to stop genocide sooner. Democracies don't fight democracies, and modern wars are always as a late response to the barbarism of a dictatorship. $5 million isn't much, and I hope the Gates foundation follows up on this with a lot more funding over time.

    How about we just allow these H1B candidates to immigrate? Then they can be citizens and pay taxes on whatever salary they accept. They might even buy some foreclosed houses.

    That is the most practical solution ending the problem of visa-based slavery, but I doubt the Americans will ever do it. They idolize Saudi Arabia and the UAE for their greater materialism, and wish to inculcate the same mistreatment of workers - especially "foreign" workers. That allows their politicians to wag the dog and blame the other for the systemic economic problems they fail to address.

  5. The laws of the country within which the firm operates, for starters. The morals of the community within which the firm recruits next. This is an example of the failure of leadership to enforce laws because, perhaps, they personally disliked them. That however doesn't excuse them from obligation to follow them. The "culture" resulting from recruiting similar poorly educated and socially immature children will bankrupt them, and the investors should also sue immediately to recover their money on the basis of fraud and misuse.

  6. Exactly! These kinds of stupid antics are exactly what prevents a company from succeeding. Horrible culture limiting actual communication, and driving away the best talent for sophomoric idiocy. Everyone who has ever worked there should be a plaintiff to show the real fault was with the leadership itself. Investors should also sue immediately.

  7. There are cheaper devices called back braces that are already in use with proven effectiveness at exactly the same protective purpose. Look at the pictures in the article, it is the red cloth apron-like garment worn by all workers.

  8. Trialling is standard English. See here. In fact, it is the most precise word to use in this instance. Looks like you need to seriously brush up on their English skills, or at least read more than random websites and comments from illiterate users.

  9. Not really. Customer facing warehouse environments are dynamic in a way that controlled warehouses simply aren't. It then becomes a retail environment, and autonomous robots don't work well there. Plus the whole idea of using the same robots would require rebuilding the concrete floors for the robotic guide cables whenever store layout changes is ridiculous.

    The device will impose other health problems on the workers due to disrupting natural movements. Wearing a back brace is the best approach, it just doesn't give an excuse to ignore decades of labor laws. Denying human rights in any context usually ends with the perpetrators being executed, one way or the other.

  10. Turn off background app refresh, and turn off location services for everything except the compass (used for map directions, etc.). That will double your battery life easily.

    Go learn about forecasting - it requires a stabilized time series, which is entirely possible with even 24 months of data to isolate seasonal fluctuations and any linear trend. More allows for longer cycle cyclical trends. In this case as the longest streak without a major shift in job growth in the US since numbers have been kept (think colonial era), that guarantees that all of the known cyclical patterns are already included. This data actually shows evidence of a change in the underlying generating behavior which has produced more job growth than has ever occurred previously. Thanks, Obama! (Trump, you'd better keep the growth going!)

    Regardless you are behaving toward USA as a useful idiot, one who fell for the false slogans of Trump as badly as Bogdan Raditsa warned against 60 years ago regarding Tito. For the topical matter, it was not 2%-3% as Macron had 30%+ lead since first round of voting in April. In 2nd round Le Pen only won two departments Calais and Aisne from 96 total!

    Don't go counting your rubles too quickly Ivan, that's some pretty shitty work there. Boss is sending you back for QA training.

  16. God damn I knew you were stupid but this is a new height. Go fuck yourself you little weak coward! What have you done with your life you little faggot?

  17. God damn you are fucking kid, go to bed. Leave the militancy fantasy aside. I am a veteran of the Bundeswehr so that shit doesn't scare me in the slightest. Also, since you're going to fake military service at least don't try to imitate an officer, that's a crime in every country in the world.

  18. Over decades I've taken more than 100 graduate hours in math, statistics, computer science, economics, operations research, and even some of the newer data science labeled courses. I know very clearly that you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Here's a fucking hint: supervised learning applies to a LOT more than just neural networks; look up LDA/QDA and see if you can at least understand the equations.

  19. No, you're completely wrong. Seriously at least google some shit from an EDU website you are ignorant. Now you are mixing up cluster analysis and discriminant analysis.

  20. No, that's not what it is. Learn the vocabulary of the items you are making claims about first, or you just show your idiocy. A Neural Network is a supervised (with outcome known and targeted) classification method using a specific mathematical approach, while cluster analysis is unsupervised and used for exploratory data analysis not final classification, and is done using a variety of distance measures.

  21. As reference see here.

  22. THIS is true innovation in applied technology! Building on their infrastructure developed for one epidemic, this firm has enhanced its service offering by applying new technologies in a way that treats an ongoing global problem and saves lives. These kinds of technological insights are why more legitimate scientific research papers were published by Chinese authors last year than the rest of the world combined.

    The few real rapes were normal criminality for a festival in a nation the size of Germany. There were some cases organized by a criminal syndicate, but few perpetrators were actually refugees. The large part of the attention gained was due to the predisposed hatred of Syrian and Iraqi refugees of which Germany receives actually a low percentage. Particular elements of law were changed due to longer standing issues related to historic low reporting - which in itself makes your claim of 1000 reported from a single day ridiculous. The immigration policy of welcoming has succeeded in growing the German economy. Unlike some of the other party I support the ascension of Turkey and the inclusion of Muslims in the modern EU as continuation of the melding that benefits everyone. The Russian advocated fantasy of culture war is one that only incites dehumanization of the hated elements is just a stupid approach designed to prop up their faltering economy.

    Most nations already have a variant of UBI. It is called being a prisoner. Studying that population shows the likely outcomes, although there are caveats. Someone with a life sentence knows they will be in prison for decades. How do they use that time? In some cases cultural/sociological issues prevent personal advancement even when basic resources are provided for life, but in others the prisoners pursue education and artistic endeavors. For those with short sentences this results in vocational training emphasis. Of course there are limits, criminals are a biased sample and the prison environment is artificially harsh and dis-empowering. Nonetheless, it shows a blanket assumption in any direction is wrong. People will react as people. A system must be able to adjust to all of them.

    I'm German and a member of CDU/CSU, my "guy" is a woman named Merkel. The issue with abuse of data is the new front in civil life. The military has some awareness but that is mostly limited to destroying communications networks of the enemy and protecting those used by allies. Civil culture must adapt to the reality of increasing mesh between the internet and real-world regarding data collection, analysis, and application. That is the challenge of the 21st century.
