>So your problem is that it’s not fair how he distributed it?

No, the point I'm making is that his actions were outside of the system we use as a society to ensure fairness. He could still have distributed the vaccine fairly - but he also could have done it unfairly. The concern comes from the lack of due process.

>You’d rather see life saving medicine trashed rather than go into a human being’s arm? How can you defend that position?

This is a strawman, so thankfully I don't have to defend it.

Ultimately, the point is more this one: if you view this with a utilitarian mindset, then you may feel that the ends justified the doctor's means. But the rule of law is deontological, not utilitarian - both because it simplifies decision-making in the justice system, and because it protects people from utilitarian injustice. And from that perspective, the doctor acted unjustly in bypassing policy, even if the outcome was good - and that's what the prosecutor is concerned with.

Thanks, that clarifies it as far as possible for me who don't really know how the full manufacturing process works.

Could we simplify this roughly into "ASML makes the machines to shine light at the right nm, foundries makes the Silicon and packages it into an useful device, architecture designers give you the layout to etch" if my mom were to ask?
Yeah, I'm teaching python too and it's important not to lie and pretend it's easy. I do try to emphasize to my student that it's a difficult skill akin to learning how to read and help them see each small step and how they build. I encourage my students by telling them that if they really want to do it, it is possible to learn these skills, and explain how it can be rewarding. I think it's important to let them assess based on reward vs how difficult they find it, so they have an honest view of whether to keep going or pivot to something that might give more bang for their buck.
Well that's interesting. I guess he's basically a genius then?
Why is this news? Google has dozens of people resign every day. Many of them for polar opposite reasons. If one person resigns because Youtube is censoring too much and another person resigns because Youtube isn't censoring enough, you can't report on only the latter to imply that Youtube's lack of censorship is unpopular with the workforce. This kind of reporting is just flat-out dishonest and manipulative.
Coordination and functioning as a network is conceptually not related to sentience; one could argue that it's necessary, but it's not sufficient and perhaps even an orthogonal issue.
I get this but can’t bear to not participate!

The world is very quickly bifurcating into 1. a small professional elite and 2. poverty for the rest. The middle class is going away, and with it, jobs and dignity for B, C, and D students.

As a parent I feel if I don’t go into six figure debt paying for camps, tutors, sports, accelerated this, and advanced that, then there is some other parent doing this whose kid will take her spot on the train. Id be dooming her to a future of poverty.

College placement is a highly competitive, zero sum slugfest and for her sake I need to at least try.
You're not alone: the Bevy community's been exploring this too, both on the application side and the ECS-innovation side. The query caching is a neat trick that learns directly from DB's.

Some of our most anticipated planned ECS features include secondary indexes (for things like looking up all entities in a particular cell) and relations (components that also point to another entity, inspired by FLECS[0]).

By "doing this exact thing" do you mean making an API with FastAPI? Because you seem unfamiliar with its features.

> I have an interesting niche for contracting too: I'm pretty good at UI & back-end at the same time.

Don't mean to piss on your fireworks but any company that's going to be able to pay you worthwhile contractor fees is going to have budget to hire a UI guy and a backend guy, and probably a product manager in between them to manage communication.

If you were on the other hand a usability expert with blog posts, conference speeches having invented practices that are now 'best practices' (e.g. you were advocating CSS when tables were the norm) then you're the kind of thing the OP is talking about.

Likewise for security experts, SEO experts, front end performance experts etc. I can recall experts in those fields by name as the de facto canonical resource in their given fields, but I can't think of anyone who is known for being a jack of all trades, renaissance man type character.

Though to be fair, it is a lot of fun to dabble in lots of different technologies and fields, and is more or less a requirement for working as a full-time web developer.
Much of the confusion here comes from the fact that a pound is used both as a unit of force and as a unit of mass.

This is one of the many reasons y'all should use SI.
That doesn't solve their terrible usage of light blue font on a white background. I agree, this UI sucks.

Edit: and vice-versa apparently. How can this person be so aware of typography but completely fail at picking readable colors? Furthermore, this website doesn't even work with readability, so it's not like I have any recourse.
He is improving in that area. But I think he still has some of the negative stigma left over from his Web site when he said all Atlanta pizza places suck (those comments were written before he even thought about opening a restaurant). That made some people come to his restaurant with a super-critical eye. And you can see there are some bias with some of the reviewers.
The other issue is the problem of successive gains being wiped out by a bookmaker reneging on the quoted odds; most bookies have a "palpable error" clause which allows them to void bets on inappropriate odds, at their own discretion

Differences between bookmakers' rules in some markets regarding refunds for cancelled games, retirements, ties etc. can also leave you losing both sides of a bet in some instances.

Human judgement is still better than algorithms at judging the risk of the above happening.

Quote of the day. Hearing MySpace's Founder/Ex-CEO talking about how his focus is building successful Facebook apps:

“We want to create hits on Facebook, mobile and the web,” DeWolfe explains. “That’s direction we’re going in.”
Can a term be any more meaningless than Web 3.0? There was certainly something interesting going on that led to the birth of "Web 2.0"—the rise of AJAX and an increasing number of application-style websites. However at this point not only has "Web 2.0" been run into the ground, but the potential of the web is exploding in all directions as it goes fully mainstream. Think about it, kids entering college this year were born after the invention of the WWW! It's not just the data, but also the open source software, the cheap on-demand commoditized computing resources, the smartphone revolution, and the general instinct among the new generation of professionals for how all this fits together that is creating the web we know today.

To even attempt to define the term "Web 3.0" just smacks of self-aggrandizement of punditry. There is no "Web 3.0", there is only a smooth evolution at this point. If we want to discuss trends, let's talk trends. We don't need to sit in our armchairs and act like we have this whole technology-thing summed up in an easily digestible linkbait title. Fuck.
So... if no one will buy it, does that mean it's worthless?
the other half is sour grapes

I think this is a vast overstatement. As a potential employer, it's in my best interests to have colleges create the best applicants possible, regardless of my personal college status. As a parent, it's in my interest to have any sort of college investment I might make to pay off. As a taxpayer, it's in my best interests to get the best return for our government investment.

To put this entire debate in terms of whether the person speaking has attended college or not is really stretching logic a bit too far. Lots of other reasons to evaluate a college education one way or another.

I think you're walking a fine line here. Especially with this sour grapes remark, it almost seems as if you're saying "these folks didn't get/enjoy college. This is the reason they say what they do. Therefore their opinion is biased and you needn't listen to them."

Sticking somebody in a bucket and then explaining away everything they might say because of the bucket they're in? Sounds to me like one of those logical fallacies everybody loves to quote so much.
You'd think the article might mention it's Amazon doing the "cloud storage" part.

I went to a local modern art museum about two years ago (the Walker in Minneapolis). I've been aware of the perception of modern art as "throwing paint on a canvas randomly" or "leaning two sticks together" and thought it was just a patronizing criticism from those more familiar with the form. So I decided to go check out a museum and see for myself what the actual art form was like.

Holy crap what a waste of time. "Screwing a few boards together" described one of the exhibits. The paragraph describing the exhibit outside the door said something about the artist's reflection of his house growing up or something. But it was just a few boards, rotten oranges, and a TV playing something or other. What the hell?

Another exhibit was a long hallway with two rolled up pieces of construction paper stood on either end. Okay.

Nothing else in the museum even merits derision, it was so dull.

So yeah, modern art deserves its mocking and crap reputation. I guess someone must enjoy it.
This is very, very interesting. Thanks for the detailed informations! To be, ad monetization is a big black box. It's very helpful to have "insider" information.
I don't think a future with AI is as easy as "robots will produce everything". There are two important factors usually being ignored in these discussions:

- Human labour is not only about producing stuff or advancing sciences, that's a narrow-minded, or even consumerist view of life. We are also creative, we like to appreciate beauty and like to be appreciated for things we create. Even when every thinkable and unthinkable thing will be produced by the machines, we will be able to focus on arts. We will be creating unique things, re-distribute it among ourselves and inevitably some of us will prove to be better at that than the others. Appreciation on one hand and the show-off factor on the other are in our nature, I don't think they will ever become an atavism.

- Scarcity of natural resources: something suggests our fight for (possession of) resources will continue until at least we have a technology that transforms any matter to anything, which has nothing or very little to do with the AI per se. But then there will be a problem of habitable space. We will fight for possessing more than the others, that's also part of our nature. More habitable planets, more powerful machines, more possibilities. Because those who possess less have smaller chances to survive.

So no, inequality and survivalism (in a broader sense) are not going away. And to satisfy our need to be better and to have more we'll have to maintain a socio-economic system that ensures inequality is always in place. It's going to be Capitalism 2.0 rather than Communism.
My company subscribes to Google Apps and I hate using Google drive : it is slow and its performance is unpredictable and it still does not natively support Linux. On the other hand, Dropbox is always fast and it supports Linux. I have never tried Box.

I don't use Chrome on any kind of regular basis, maybe once a month for something that still absolutely requires flash, so help me out here..

Is this seriously required? There isn't a standard setting to choose what to do when you open a new tab in Chrome?
"Programming for Everybody" by Rice University is highly recommended. Together with Coursera they do an specialization called "Fundamentals of Computing" which can be audited for free.
I think this just highlights the ridiculousness of software development.

You can get two highly skilled, well renowned software developers and they can completely disagree.

How are you meant to objectively evaluate code quality of developers then?
I wasn't a programmer (finance background), and I learnt enough SQL to be useful in perhaps 20 minutes. Reading just one Date book [1] took me a further 3 days and allowed me to solve pretty much everything I've encountered since, with the occasional googling for syntax. Aside from perhaps statistical learning (reading through ISL [2] takes perhaps half a day to a day if you are committed, another day for the labs, and then you are immediately useful to most SMEs), I can't think of a field in computer science that has such a fast ROI. Both being able to query well, and being able to build simple but accurate statistical models, are valued quite highly by the marketplace right now and naturally lend themselves to a "contractor" relationship. The OP mentioned making money...

SQL is declarative which means if you can word it in your head, you can write the query (unlike with OO where you need to define what happens to your record). If you learn it properly, from the set theoretic perspective (aka the relational model, not using the RDBMS as a data dump without FKs, and treating rows as records the OO way), you can keep working like that almost indefinitely, and the problem solving is a lot of fun - "how can I define my output in terms of my input in one go". Most importantly, you KNOW your code is correct (except logical errors) whereas the ORM does not guarantee as much (my first step when at a new company that uses an OO framework is enforcing all the implicit FK constraints and keeping track of the 1-3% of tuples missing bits). Most of the time it (sort of) doesn't matter (click through rate being off by 0.2% isn't going to change your life); when you're calculating how much money you donate customers via discounts or matching your orders with cash flow, it does, and this is when companies start paying good money.

Unfortunately, based on interviewing 200+ applicants over a couple of years to data-related positions, I've started to think that the relational model is simply not taught anymore, and many popular frameworks actively encourage patterns that break the model (e.g. polymorphic associations in RoR [3]). I'm now happy just to see someone aware of why constraints might be useful, let alone being able to discuss 2 vs 3 or 4 valued logic or the usefulness of prenex normal form.

It looks ok on my Chrome 39.0.2171.99 m on Win7.
I really don't understand how "3) Penetrate and Patch" is a bad idea. The argument is:

> Your software and systems should be secure by design and should have been designed with flaw-handling in mind

I'm not sure I would argue that systems that have been hacked were intentionally insecure by design, but that the developers thought it was secure by design but they were just wrong. It seems totally unrealistic to say "just make it secure instead" as the solution, especially when machines are connected to the outside world.
In journalism there is frequently the case that when a story plays out, the coverage then becomes about the story itself (will try to find a reference if I can). (This one hasn't played out yet so by the play book he really needed to wait a bit longer.)
I agree that continuity is very pleasant, both for artists and for audiences. In the past few months I've noticed that online entertainment is groping toward a new kind of business model where the artist just keeps working on a single property and never stops, escalating the ambitions and production values as the audience grows.

An example of what I'm talking about is the webcomic Homestuck, which started as some simple panels with text and now evolved to thousands of pages with intricate animations, musical pieces and even videogames spliced into one big narrative. From being written by a single person (who still has full creative control), the comic has gradually grown to have a dedicated art team, music team and gamedev studio.

An almost-example is the videogame Nuclear Throne. It's currently being developed by a two-person studio, and the creators make a point of releasing new updates every single week and interacting with the audience constantly, talking to Redditors and building good relationships with Youtubers. By now it's had 50+ weekly updates and just keeps going. A big part of me wants the game to never be "finished" but just stay in development forever, like a webcomic, becoming more ambitious as money permits. The game's universe is certainly interesting enough to allow that kind of development, you could imagine all kinds of stories set inside the game, etc.

The awesome thing about this model is that you can start very small. Homestuck started with one guy, Nuclear Throne started with two guys. If you can keep growing the audience at every step, who's to say that you can't end up with a billion dollar movie franchise, or even crazier things?
I don't know of any viable desktop solutions for this issue, but it seems to be how iOS works. Unless you jail break your phone you cannot download or install anything not on the app store (where everything goes through a review boardI believe).

And I haven't heard much about iOS viruses really. Maybe for the jail broken ones?

A quick google search turns up this malware [0] which only works through USB. So the system does seem to be working pretty well all in all. Reducing the attack vectors from everything to direct hardware connections only is a pretty big accomplishment I'd think.

For those of you interested in this subject, there is a library called LIRE (http://www.semanticmetadata.net/lire/) that's been around for a long time which will index various color and textures features into a feature vector compatible with Lucene. It does end up with the interesting scenario of requiring the search query itself to be an image, but if you are looking for a solution whereby for a given image you can find other images most similar to it (and ranked, of course), this does the job surprisingly well.
I've been using this a while now, all the controls are on the bottom, making it easy easier for me to reach.
Yep. Exactly that.
FreeBSD pf might be outdated, but it's not insecure and it has been improved with SMP. I don't want to argue over benchmarks but some say OpenBSD is faster, others say that's only true on old hardware, etc etc.

A lot of those in [1] are coming to FreeBSD via the HardenedBSD project. But honestly performance, ports, support for higher end NICs, etc are probably the reason. I've heard from several that the network stack in FreeBSD in general scales better. I guess it depends on who your audience is.

If you embedded a vendor-specific unnamed programming language in JSON or Dhall or TOML or INI or CSV it would be bad too.

I noticed BTW the same for written text (code comments, wiki docs, blogs etc.) - when I re-read code comments I wrote a month later, I almost always find ambiguities, sometimes missing the larger point in the details etc.

Written stuff is hard as you have a lot of context in your head, your voice intonation etc.; sometimes a lacking comma, or reversed order of words, or a typo like missing an "s" or "ed" for plural/past can derail me for a good while while re-reading old text.
uBlock Origin will do this for you, if you want that level of privacy. You do have to specifically allow it to operate under Incognito Mode, but then it "just works".

Yes, it's an add-on and not built into Chrome... and yes you have to know about it to install it in the first place. I'm not exactly sure that's a problem though - if you are technical enough to navigate through settings menus in your browser, understand what the settings mean and toggle options (presumable to enable some built-in version of uBlock Origin), then you clearly have the capability to install the add-on.
Not really sure with pipe. It could probably just be &&'d with an optional message parameter to be fair.
