But you have a lot more to go off here and the number of replies is limited to maybe a few thousand at most. It can quickly determine if it's a scheduling email, check your calendar, and generate responses like "I am available" and "I'm busy". For others it can be as simple as "I'll check it out and get back to you". Finally, if you are expected to review the automatically composed response or choose from several options it's actually not that bad at all. This actually seems a lot like the iOS feature where if you miss hang up on an incoming call you can send a quick SMS reply back saying things like "I'll call you back" or automatically adding a reminder to call back in an hour.
You're quite right, the language I used does not quite hold up in a literal interpretation. I was willing to take this shortcut primarily because I assumed that Truman's political capital limited his ability to attack the FBI's power as was dictated by the FBI's power over him and his supporters in Congress, whose support he would need to be effective as executive and commander in chief.

This is tin foil hat circular reasoning but given the historical evidence for Hoover's abuse of power, I don't think it's much of a stretch
Again, how many times must the lie that voting counts be repeated, repeating it does not make it true.

Did voting matter in the 2000 presidential election, I recall the supreme Court decided who became president. If voting matters so much why do politicians spend the vast majority of time fund raising instead of interacting with their voters?

Have you even looked at gerrymandering? You believe voting in those districts matters? Oh we should spend our time in long and arcane primary votes? Who has the time besides the retired?

The government hands out social welfare(especially to the old) like Caesar gave out grain to appease the majority and ensure they will retain power.

Meanwhile our country jails about 1% of the population and denies felons from voting.

But please keep repeating that voting counts (SHOUT IT IN ALL CAPS EVEN!), if only you could actually explain how or give any argument for it beyond your insistence that it is true.

Obama taught constitutional law, the guy who signs off on killing Americans and is a torture apologist. Voting does not work and is a waste of time, if anything voting continues to provide a false legitimacy to an illegitimate system.

Religion and scripture can provide a common cultural and mythological framework for ethics and morality, but there is nothing about ethics and morality which require a belief in the supernatural. Rather, putting legal weight behind tea-leaf reading and in the arbitrary authority of religious institutions can easily lead to perverse moral incentives.

Which is irrelevant to the point I think is being made. People sometimes believe this, and if the facts can be twisted to put you in front of a jury as a defendant, it's not good for you. Whether this statement would cause a mistrial doesn't help you if it's stated to some non-involved party twenty years later and you've already served your time, or even if you are still in prison and the person saying and the person hearing that statement have no incentive to notify someone who can and will do something about it.
Sounds like the system has no way to take into account context. Each message is encoded into a 'thought' vector, but is it difficult to come up with a 'thought' that changes meaning depending on prior messages? I imagine it is such a concern that leads one to look into Hierarchical Temporal Memory and similar techniques.

This looks more powerful than iOS's context sensitive keyboard, but that also looked impressive when demoed. It will be interesting to try this out with real-world emails and see how well it works in practice.

This gets really exciting when implemented on a smartwatch. Single tap responses that are actually useful would make smartwatches significantly more powerful. Speech recognition is great but it's not always appropriate for social environments.
I had a One M7. I bought it largely because it promised good low light camera performance. My phone was one of many with a flaw that cast a purple haze on low light photos, rendering it nearly useless in low light. Foolishly I waited awhile in hopes that a software update would fix it.

HTC offered some sort of replacement program but that would require me to go without a phone for weeks.

Eventually Verizon sent me a replacement unit whose camera was even worse. I decided my next phone would be an iPhone. I now have the 6 Plus and it's the best point and shoot camera I've ever had, period (even counting standalone cameras.) If something goes wrong with the phone I know I can go to an Apple retail store and get it fixed or replaced immediately, not in weeks.
> liking a page on Facebook attaches it to my profile, and potentially feeds me content based on that, will this happen on Twitter? I can't assume it won't.

Your favorites/likes have always been visible to other users. e.g. here are the likes of the Twitter account in your HN profile https://twitter.com/radiofreejohn/favorites (interesting they've changed the text in the profiles to likes but the URL is still favorites).

[Perhaps I'm misunderstanding "will this happen on Twitter" and you're referring to someday filtering feeds...if that were to ever happen I imagine they would use this data regardless of what they call it]
They really aren't cruise missiles because they're remotely piloted. Properly painted these would be hard to spot, and I bet they have a targeting mode where the engine switches off to minimize noise.

Nope. If you're looking to end drone strikes before the 2020 race, you're SOL. There was only one candidate who opposed warrant-less drone assassinations, and he just withdrew from the race (Chafee).

Rand Paul did filibuster Brennan's nomination on this exact issue, but he has since watered down his stance to the point where it's basically unrecognizable.

The other candidates range from lukewarm support ("we should do this, but only rarely") to enthusiastic support, to the ones who actually carried out and executed the drone strike program (Clinton).

I'm not entirely sure this is a semantic argument worth wading into, but I think there's a wrinkle worth addressing in the "you're the product" mentality. In order for Google to effectively serve you ads (and convince advertisers it's worth their prices), they accumulate vast amounts of information about their users. From some perspective one's identity is largely based on or equivalent to one's purchases, tastes, interests, friendships, knowledge, etc. Advertisers (like Google) try to know as many of these as possible about everyone they can, and I can see how for many people this is equivalent to Google selling "you" -- they have a digital representation of your identity, and their ability to comprehend it is the real service that sits behind the advertising.

“My faith is still strong,” she said. “But I am more careful in dealing with Christians than I used to be. They are just people with no more ability to be good than anyone else.”

If you don't grow up in an area that has a very heavy Christian presence it can be hard to understand how very conservative/evangelical Christians think. Many of them believe, honestly and truly, that they are incapable of being wrong because they have been sanctified and saved and therefore even if they perform a transgression no one on Earth has the authority to call them out on it. But see, since they're saved, Jesus forgives them, so no one can call them out on their sin because no one is without sin, so best to just let it go.

It's an extremely insidious mindset because there's no arguing with it. There's no way to get someone who believes that they are morally right to budge even an inch because they 100% do not believe in capitulating to anyone other than Jesus Christ- and since the only source of what He thinks is the Bible and it can be interpreted in about a thousand different ways... you see where this is going. Their personal definitions of what's "good" and "bad" are very, very different from people who did not grow up in the religious culture and there's no way to bring them around to another way of thinking. It happens within the culture too- my father in law and his lifelong best friend had a falling out about 10 years ago over a very small, nitpicky religious matter (they were both elders in their church and disagreed over the way some church finances were distributed) and my father in law straight up stopped talking to his best friend because his friend would not capitulate and come around to my father in law's way of thinking. My Father in Law believed, and still believes, that he was 100% in the right and that his best friend was deceived by the devil and that's why their friendship had to end. And this is over something like "Should we put the church's nest egg all in a savings account or should we take half of it and put it in a Money Market account instead?"

I point this out to add some context to this type of arbitration since, if you didn't grow up in an area where this was just a normal fact of society, you're probably scratching your head wondering how in the world this is even a thing.

Even growing up Southern Baptist below the Bible Belt I had no idea that Religious Arbitration was a thing until I read this article. I had heard of Orthodox Jews having their own set of laws and rules and that being a thing in some very small neighborhoods of NYC, but I didn't realize there was a Christian equivalent being played out across the US.

one interesting related question is "is math real?" does math exist without human brain? i mean there's a reason why mathematicians prefer the word 'discover' instead of 'invent', but can something that theoretically could exist without a universe to belong in be real? there's a lot of interesting reading at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics if you've got time to spare.

Just wanted to point that the idea is to offer an alternative job, not to force nobody to do anything. Currently, in a lot of countries, unemployment payment just run for a while and only if you worked before. Then, if you can't find a job you have a serious problem.

Job guarantee also "force" a minimum wage in the economy without need of big controls. It can be though as another automatic stabilizer.

Anyway, maybe you are right. I haven't made up my mind about it yet.

I totally agree in general, but I'm not sure anymore whether gerrymandering is unequivically evil. There are lots of apparently "unfair" ways to do apportionment, but finding a perfect one is sort of harder than it looks at first glance.

Woah, I mean I gave you an example of when voting really did count over everything else. And if you don't have the time to go out and stump for a candidate or run yourself, then you get the government you deserve.
Both statements are true. The market for frontend devs is both competitive and very liquid: there are many job opportunities and many frontend developers. As a result, starting salaries tend to be high, and you can very quickly "rise to what you're worth": if you don't like your boss or your company is underpaying you, jump ship.

However, frontend tech tends to expire every 5 years. This is part of the reason why starting salaries are high: junior developers can compete effectively with senior ones. If you go backend, you tend to amass a steady stream of domain & infrastructural knowledge about the company which makes you significantly more valuable to them over time. Raises and promotions follow, even if that knowledge is of limited usefulness on the open market.

Whether you'd prefer one or the other partially depends on how you would like to manage your career. The OP in this subthread indicates that he's drawn to the craftsmanship, the idea of steadily making something better over time, and this style tends to suit backend dev better. I tend to be drawn toward discovery, the process of finding loopholes & gaps in the market and filling them with new solutions, so for me frontend & entrepreneurship is more useful. (Frontend dev tends to be a more useful skill for founders, because almost every startup needs an appealing frontend but most can get by with a half-assed backend until they hire more engineers. Witness DropBox vs. Tarsnap - they came out at the same time and both use AWS for storage, but DropBox built a beautiful frontend and a minimally-functional backend, while Tarsnap barely built a frontend at all but has the most sophisticated secure backend I've seen in a product.) For me, the idea of climbing the corporate ladder sounds like hell, while to other engineers on this site, the idea of retraining in a different technology every 5 years probably sounds like hell.
Yeah calling onion a condiment is pretty crazy, Onion is the basis of a huge amount of cuisine.
The overhead you're talking about doesn't seem to be in the database itself, but in crappy (possibly language- or framework-specific) interfaces to them. That's an application issue, and I was talking about system issues.
I'm glad we agree on something.

Going back to my original point, which was about whether a capitalist society without government intervention would be free from exploitation, what are your thoughts on that?
One exception that i'll say is that a lot of platform-y products where the developers are relatively closer to the target audience tend to do better without product management.

Not that it gets you out from some of the challenges I list elsewhere, but at least from a persona/use case perspective it's comparatively easy to grok why and how someone wants to use the tool if that "someone" is close to the person who is writing the code.

On the flip side, anything with sophisticated non-technical business users or niche industries absolutely depends on having product management to rep the voice of the customer to R&D.

JPMorgan • New York City / Brooklyn • Full Time • Onsite

The New Product Development (NPD) group at J.P. Morgan is seeking Haskell engineers to join our software development team. NPD focuses on high-impact and transformative technologies and solutions serving the bank and its customers, via exploratory R&D leading to rapid pilot and production deployments. Successful projects are handed off to a partner line-of-business group while blocked or infeasible projects “fail fast.” You will work with a highly creative and talented team to transform how JPM does business.

The ideal candidate will be able to work closely with a group but also drive projects independently. Developers are encouraged to interact at every level of product development. New projects arise frequently with ample opportunity for developers to spearhead new efforts. Open source contributions are encouraged.

Exposure and expertise in any of the following areas is desirable:

· Network engineering

· Cryptography engineering

· Distributed Systems

· Programming language design (e.g. compilers, interpreters, development tools)

· Database Systems

· Software assurance / verification (Model Checking (TLA+), QuickCheck, Jepsen, Coq, HOL)

· Industrial/production Haskell development

The Haskell group in NPD is focused on solutions in blockchain/distributed databases; smart-contract DSLs; REST APIs; data anonymization; probabilistic modelling; and ML tooling. We are Haskellers who enjoy leveraging ever-more-powerful abstractions and maximal expressivity to deliver robust, correct, performant, maintainable and generally kick-a$$ software.

I'm one of the tech leads in the group, please email me at first name dot last name at gmail dot com if you wanna learn more ( please include a CV and perhaps a cover letter), and include "functional enterprise job" in the subject.

I look forward to hearing from you!
I have difficulty following your grammar, so I'll just restate what I think is the case, using a similar progression as what I think you wrote.

You initially observe some phenomenon. You do not have an immediate explanation for it. You come up with an explanation for that phenomenon. You cannot then use the original phenomenon to support your explanation. In order to test your explanation, you must figure out what else must happen if your explanation is true. You then devise experiments, or find other, different observations, which can falsify your explanation. That is, if the experiments come out a certain way, or you observe certain things, you can rule out your explanation. If, instead, you cannot rule out your explanation, but the other things your explanation predicts to happen does happen, then those new observations are experimental evidence that support your explanation.

> But, we are missing a lot of the off the wall TV like the twilight zone or MST3k.

Black Mirror? Rick and Morty's pretty off the wall. Intense nihilism, interesting sci-fi concepts, "what if" ideas carried far enough that they become horrifying more often than not, et c. I haven't gotten around to True Detective yet (how are people in this thread watching so much TV that they're running out of good content?!?) but I understand it didn't/doesn't exactly follow one of the usual formulas.

MST3K-influenced shows are all web-only AFAIK, so it's not "TV" but there's more content of that sort than ever.
Too true. I know a person who said that, but I don't know which state, which county, when, or what they served as juror. Are the accused still in prison, or have they served time and done?

And it's hear-say. I have no recording of what they said.

But still, miscarriage of justice is still done. And with numbers showing federal cases end up in the +95% conviction, sure seems the quote is the majority thought. Even if it is completely wrong.
