Re:Safety concerns over planes returning to service on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @10:10AM (#25430967)
planes have been stored for longer than before, and in some cases the planes in storage are new models, which means the potential issues are not as well documented.
Re:How to Keep Track of Deep Learning Experiments in Notebooks on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @09:55AM (#25430833)
After starting an experiment, make a record with experiment name, datetime, commit hash, some notes on experiment setup. After it ends, update the record with outcome, screenshots of learning curves, etc. This can be automated too.
Definitely not exclusive to black people. I remember reading a similar study years ago that focused on perception derived from an individual's attire. As you would expect, the people who were perceived as more trustworthy and knowledgeable were those in more formal / professional attire.
Especially this time that almost all of us are working and staying at home. So, parents, which is a great news, spending more time with their kids than they used to, and this matters because parent-child interactions are important for childhood development.
Re:Faustian Bargain on Monday December 14, 2020 @08:52AM (#25417470)
A Faustian bargain is made with a power that the bargainer recognizes as evil or amoral. Faustian bargains are by their nature tragic or self-defeating for the person who makes them, because what is surrendered is ultimately far more valuable than what is obtained, whether or not the bargainer appreciates that fact.

Research your audience, value proposition, and competition.
the lawsuit is one of the first of its kind in China, which has one of the most extensive surveillance networks in the world and has attempted to normalize the use of facial recognition.
Re:The Problem with Acronyms on Thursday December 10, 2020 @10:16AM (#25374525)
If your message is complicated enough that even to grasp it at the slogan level your audience will have to commit some ghastly acronym to memory, then it’s too complicated. And it means that you’re thinking of your presentation in the wrong way – as an information dump – rather than an act of persuasion.

Re:Do you need a Venture capital investor at all? on Tuesday December 08, 2020 @09:15AM (#25345347)
If you have built up a successful business and want to grow it further and take it to the next level, one tactic is to seek venture capital funds. Venture capitalists are savvy investors and they usually have a long-term horizon.

Re:Rethinking Social Media on Tuesday December 08, 2020 @09:11AM (#25345288)
Anybody trying to build a social network nowadays should have clear precise goals. Is it only to make money? Why not, but it should then be no surprise if things turn sour. Is it to “connect the world” ? The world is already connected and it is too vague, a slogan and nothing more, almost devoid of meaning.
Re:Getting to know the candidate before the interview on Monday December 07, 2020 @10:53AM (#25333324)
Agree. When interviewing candidates, it’s best to avoid asking for information they have already provided (e.g. with their application or during a screening call); you’ll lose valuable time and risk appearing indifferent or unprepared to the candidates’ eyes.

Instead, take some time to read candidate resumes, profiles or applications and make notes of key points concerning their skills and past experience. Then, you can use interview time to elaborate on these points or ask for the new information you need to help with your evaluation. When looking through candidate resumes, keep your interview questions in mind and ask yourself:

Young people are used to learning. If they have just come out of school or tertiary education they will still retain a mindset that will help them absorb training more readily. As they don’t have a huge amount of previous experience young people are essentially a ‘blank slate.’ This affords their employer an opportunity to develop a workforce of young people specifically trained to meet their organisation’s needs.
Yes and Iran has blamed Israel for the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was seen by Western intelligence services as the mastermind of a covert Iranian programme to develop nuclear weapons capability. Tehran has long denied any such ambition.
Re:Sight restored by turning back the epigenetic clock on Thursday December 03, 2020 @09:01AM (#25288864)

According to The New York times, Slack claims that Microsoft has illegally tied its collaboration software, Microsoft Teams, to its dominant suite of productivity programs, Microsoft Office, which includes Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. That bundling tactic, Slack contends, is part of a pattern of anticompetitive behavior by Microsoft.
Re:Predictive Linguistics Is Dead on Thursday December 03, 2020 @08:37AM (#25288663)
If anyone would like to know, may I add that Predictive linguistics (PL) is an emerging discipline that studies the interrelation between linguistic markers and action considered as an intentional, purposive, conscious and subjectively meaningful activity.
Re:Things I Learned in 2020 on Thursday December 03, 2020 @08:36AM (#25288653)
2020 is the year that will forever changed us all. It forced us to slow down, give up things whether we like it or not, and despite our best wishes and prayers for things to go back to normal, I think we all slowly realized with each passing month that we might not ever fully return to the way things were before.
