Perhaps you should invest the 200 bucks and make a scrum course?
All you wrote here about agile and Scrum is nonsense.
And yes, I preserve the right for me to say: 'that was Scrum done bad'.
Or as we scrummers say: either you do Scrum, or you don't. There is no mid way of being half assed agile and claiming you do Scrum if you don't do Scrum 100%:)
Your example makes no sense. Neural nets are not used to stop a train at a plat form in the correct position. You use markers, e.g magnets, and sensors to recognize such markers.
Holding grudges is a character flaw. Plenty of societies have ways to teach: don't hold grudges.
All the examples you give here are just idiotic. If a driverless car does not see a pedestrian running into the road because if the sun, somwould a driver! And: driver less cars have more than just cameras, it is impossible for them to be blinded by the sun. Your ball and child dxample is just ridiculous. 'Anticipate a child'? How retarded are you!? The car is not anticipating anything. It is hardwired to break when an object comes into its path. Same way 'I'm hardwired to break'. Do you realy think the programmers of self driving cars are such idiots, to forget the obvious?
For a self driving car a stop sign is irrelevant. It always will behave at a road crossing 'as in doubt', and if necessary will give the other car the right of way. Even jf the other car had no such right.
Potato chips have a much higher fat to carbs ratio than frensh fies. Frensh fries were invented by the belgic, btw. And correctly done frensh fries are made from rather thick potato sticks. All of the above is mot necessarily unhealthy, if eaten in moderation.
Everyone would probably prefere to be fat over being poor.
Putting 'nationalities' in fromt of such statements only shows how uneducated you are... poor European? By what terms? The moun tof poor and homelss people is in the US much higher than in Europe... get a clue. In europe only such people are homeless that denie social/public service.
You already broke it down into 3 quite different areas. So: there are not 2billion people living in a desert. I would be surprised if it is more than 200million (looking ata Arabica and Gobi).
No idea why you write such a long post when you clearly don't grasp about what you are writing. Hint: Grassland and Rangeland are not desserts.
What have 'sacrifices' to do with it? You can not really sell anything 'at cost', the risk that resources you need, spike in price is to high. Point is: he is doing business in niche markets and is producing products that help mankind. You can turn that however you want. But you can not deny it!
On top of that, one thing I found irritating was that at least at my University the general trend seemed to be that the more sciency the course the earlier the class was, and they more artsy the later it was, which seemed profoundly unfair to me (I don't think I had a single math class that wasn't early) Same at my university. Basically all math classes where pre-req to get from the "bachelor stage" (Vordiplom) to the "master stage" (diploma/Diplom). All those classes started at 8:00. It was all math, algebra and calculus.
The horror about his was, actually I had everything in school already. And I was very good in school.
However the university classes had about every 3 weeks a topic, we did not have in school. But you did not know when...
So the question was: go there or not? I usually showed up at 9.30 to get the homework.
I failed every math test in university at the first attempt.
Managed to get a bad grade the second attempt. (But well, I remember Analysis, I think you call that Calculus, and at my second attempt the quote of failure was 96%... so with a grade of 4.0 (on a scale from 1 to 6, with 1 is the best) I barely managed to succeed, but was in the top 4% of the examination... pretty retarded system))
never needed the math in my computer science jobs/contracts
So, the question remains: are mathematicians morning guys? After all the had to take the exact same classes. Or did they simply bite through it because they wanted to study mathematics?
I don't really know what was more a pain in the ass. The fact that you actually knew you never need the stuff in real live you are forced to study, or the fact that the damn classes started at 8:00...
In Germany we have "free" university for most of the diploma topics. However instead of thinking about how to make good students, the system tries to kick out "long sleepers" or "bad learners" (to save money, wow... how much money does a "long sleeper" cost?).
There are thousands of topics in computer science where math is important. But I would train that on the job. I'm not writing math libraries. I'm using them.
On the other hand there are millions of topics in computer science where you don't need math at all. And plenty of them are highly challenging, e.g. writing a compiler, or a kernel, a VM a Prolog or Lisp interpreter etc. p.p.
The research will always be based upon the initial hypothesis. It will tend to hone in on the desired results and ignore alternatives. This is not how research works. A guy aiming for his PhD might make this mistake. But the Professors examining him and granting him his PhD will ask the relevant questions.
The real valid hypothesis is the one everyone knows, starting the day with the sun shining is better physiologically than starting the day in the dark. That is your hypothesis. I'm a living counter example... and I know plenty of others.
The big reason we don't start high school around 10AM or so is because it would end late for teens who might have a job, sports, etc. No the big reason is that teachers are idiots (on many levels which I wont scratch here) Teachers are the "in general" only part of the population that want to have a 7:00 - 15:00 work day. Stay up at 5:30 or 6:00, be at work (in school) at 7:00 or 7:30 and go home "early". They have such a big lobby that they sabotage any attempt (in Germany) to get more sane school times for kids.
OTOH you have the problem that ordinary work for people usually starts between 8:00 and 9:00, and the kids should be then already in school and supervised.
It sucks both ways: if the kid has to be in school to early, bad for the kids and for the parents that like to sleep, too. And on the other hand if the kids have to be in school "late" when the parents actually are supposed to be at work already.
Yes, if you stay up late and "sleep in" your body adjusts.
However, just because your "work" starts at 11:00 there is no reason to stay up late and sleep in.
I'm used to tell my customers: if you demand me being here before 10:00, no problem. If you want me here before 9:00 it gets actually difficult for me.
And anyway: if you want me to be here before 11:00 then you pay 1 or 2 hours for doing me nothing.
Because before 11:00 or 12:00 I'm not really able to do anything significantly, except reading emails and give snarky remarks. But I prefer to start working and read and answer emails after the lunch break.
Yes, I go late to bed... about 1:00 or even up to 3:00. But I'm not "sleeping in"... If I would go earlier to bed, I just would wake up at 5:00 or 6:00 and it would not change anything that I'm not "able" to work before 10:00.
I could do martial arts classes in the morning, though... but "working" on a computer? No way!
How does one calculate the damages a company suffered by being rendered unable to generate financial reports? By the fine they get and by the time/efford they need to recover the data and finally deliver the report.
Sorry, stories like this are just ridiculous. A guy who knows his business surely knew that the company has back ups. And a "End of Year" is usually not calculated over the last 365 days, but over the last 11 or 12 "end of month" and the last 1, 3 or 4 or 5 "end of weeks". Depending how and when you make "the end of month".
That means homes in the driest parts of the world could soon have a solar-powered appliance capable of delivering all the water they need, offering relief to billions of people. The s indicates plural, that means more than one billion... actually minimum two.
Who on earth is so stupid to believe that "a billion" people live in "deserts"?
Nevertheless a device like this might be useful in all warm/humid areas. I wonder how clean the water will stay over time, as in: can fungi grow inside of the device, can bacteria settle in it, how to keep the water sterile and the aparatus working?
There where a few other posts about technology like this in the recent years on/.

Well,
I really wonder.
You do know that we have self driving cars since 10 - 20 years?
We only wait for regulations and legislations to change.
All your claims in this post, and the previous ones regarding AI, self driving cars, and computers ... are: wrong.
And: self driving cars are not driven by an AI.
All the examples you give here are just idiotic.
If a driverless car does not see a pedestrian running into the road because if the sun, somwould a driver!
And: driver less cars have more than just cameras, it is impossible for them to be blinded by the sun.

Self driving cars are not trained.
They are hard cided. (facepalm)
I suggest to google what strong AI systems are right now in production, and what they are doing. ...
E.g. IBMs Whatson

I think it just died.
I mean, as in: right now!
I feel so sad.

The real world doesn't work this way.
The real world works the way you make it work.
Cows need to be milked every 12h.
It does not matter to them if you milk them
either: 6:00 and 18:00
or: 9:00 and 21:00
The problem are not people sleeping long but a world that is going wrong.

By the fine they get and by the time/efford they need to recover the data and finally deliver the report.
But, you do know the "password" is not the key to the account?
As a "sysadmin" I can basically always use your account without you noticing and without knowing your password. How to do that ofc varies from OS.
... if the Sysadmin sabotaged the back ups, too.
