Sounds like Ramadan. Especially the "obsessing over food" part. Some of us actually end up fatter after the month of 16 hour fasts.

Ask hospitals in underserved areas. I know of one that had to reject many candidates. American doctors refuse to work in Detroit. They also refuse to work in any specialty where hours are tough.

I am still in academics so I have a question about this. If your company owns this is, what shouldn't they be rewarding you generously for making it? They are making money out of your extra effort/work. I get that employees who want their own ip should have the right but if the company is paying you extra and giving other rewards and removing the headache of managing your own company, is that not good?

I didn't think that is true. Have you ever seen legacy code. Some code in Cobol and Fortran still exists and is functional. Redis isn't as old as those ofcourse but everyone who used it will need to change code and docs. This isn't some isolated word doc that can be fixed with a findall/replaceall command this is backend code connected to many systems. I am not even a professional developer , I am a researcher/grad student and I have faced such issues with something as new as Tensorflow.

If it is such a big issue, then those who had the problem can fork the repo and change the terminology in their fork. Legacy code that wants to use updated redis won't be affected.

Brown guy in the US here. And Muslim and Pakistani. What kind of racism do you think I face? I felt more discrimination in Pakistan for being short and quiet and not having a deep voice than I ever did in the US for being brown, Muslim and Pakistani. I have been sent through the express lane many times at airport check-in, I have prayed openly(in a corner) at 2 airports, I have worked with a Christian Republican who dropped me off at a mosque on my request and reminded me of prayer times.

I know this is anecdotal but I firmly believe the issue is pure economics + upgringing. I happen to be a moderately rich Pakistani Muslim from a happy and close-knit family, a white person with less income and/or bad family life will have it much harder in the US than I do and thanks to affarmative action, he will have a much harder time getting into an ivy league school than any member of my family or any rich/happy Black or Hispanic family.

I think that the over clocking cheat is a bit different if they are honest about and say the phone, when overclocked, are actually capable of this. The DSLR image is not possible in any case.

Agreed. One solution could be restricted access. Government of Maynmar not allowed to access this. Same of Houthi and Yemen or Syrian rebels/Assad etc. Idea 2: it could potentially help hold these government's more accountable if everyone in the world has access to a record and thus proof of what they are doing.

Part of an undertaking this big is securing funding and political/social support. Being a bit "trendy" helps with those.

Exactly what I thought they did.

I just read quickly through on my way to work so I did not get to that part. I was thinking more like using tweet content, language useage(words used, sentence length etc) and ip data into a generative kind of network similar to what is used to fix images with missing content. Then the missing content can be the username and it might be able to at least find very similar users.

If the reassociation returns multiple accounts, then it should get both the main and the throwaway. Unless it is over fitting to the main somehow.

What do you mean no idea. She was PM several times in the 1990s and not a good one. She and Nawaz took turns robbing Pakistan until Musharraff came.

I double Hamza Shahbaz or Mariam Nawaz even know how to use Word on a normal PC, let alone get and install beta software.

Finally a comment about the article and not about Pakistan.

Yep. Hopefully he wins the current elections. Me and my whole family waited hours in lines to vote for him last elections.

Not last 5 years. That was mostly under an actual dictator Perviz Musharraff. That period was more democratic than after him which removed all power for local governments and probably more censorship/bans by PEMRA, our media regulatory agency.

I think people are too quick to judge other countries through their lens.

This is as true for some of us Pakistanis judging to the west through our cultural lens.

What I really hate about articles like this is they try to convince people we are just rolling in money and job opportunities just staring at our screens and use that to flood the market with people who don't care about anything but the money and use them to lower salaries for the rest of us. I don't seem to come across nearly as much articles like this for nurses, paralegals, chefs and other such professions that pay as well and might be far more rewarding for certain types of people and the jobs are probably easier to get, based on the number of bootcamps and job hunting services solely for computer science professionals.

I can only say from experience in Pakistan but culture makes it difficult for other countries to succeed if they are turning away developers for ethnic, tribal or religious reasons or for being on the autism spectrum. Not to mention the culture of never questioning authority figures making proposing new ideas much more difficult.

This makes me think. Why not add a Google Science or Google Dev with those features removed. Basically Google Scholar but also showing stackoverflow, blogs and GitHub code/gists?

Really cool. I actually wanted to train and use YOLO on my data from Python for a research project I am doing but didn't know how to run it from Python and I only know very limited amount of C. So far I am using RCNN from TensorflownObject Detection API. Would you mind if I copy your C to Python code and maybe shoot you an email if I need help using your code?
