Elsewhere in the video also explains why it's not about low quality code: because you need to have a good design and codebase for it to be refactorable, to maintain your development speed as your understanding of the domain/technology grows.

You've missed the point of the article.

The article is talking about how engineers have the mind-set that can more easily lead someone to joining a terrorist organization than other field mindsets. It has nothing at all to do with "terrorism in the name of engineering".

Whether it's a correlation =/= causation mishap, given the author's profession and that it's a full book many years in the making, I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Recent changes to iOS allow side-loading[1]. In answer to your point about the majority's ignorance, I suspect the reasons are varied but if there's a way to circumvent these kind of protections, non-technical users can be coerced into doing so. An example is Facebook disabling the developer console in the browser after users were coerced into using it against themselves[2].

The Windows 8/10 UI of having big boxes as program icons is a plus for a living-room PC, as they give you a very large "hit box" for a Wii-type remote. But then you need to enter a URL or search for a movie title/genre/etc, and it falls down.. Lenovo has a home-theater style remote [0] that is wireless and has a keyboard + mouse on it, but again the usage is awkward and doesn't solve the hands-free scenario.

I was kinda sceptical about the article until I saw the quotes advocating that DID is totally a real thing from the doctors.

It doesn't make sense to say in a binary sense that an observation agrees or disagrees with the null hypothesis, there are only probabilities. The p-value is the probability of seeing a set of values as extreme as your actual observations, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.
I sent your comment to some of my Polish friends. They will adore your description of Poland as a "European beachhead of sanity", especially given the content and character of the new government. But I think this law was put in motion by the old government. As the article says:

New Jersey isn't New England, and I resent the insult to New England.
Before the 1980's mortgage lending was limited to the credit unions and other member owned institutions like S&Ls. This regulation had been put in place after the Great Depression of 1929, in order to limit speculation in housing. This regulation had largely worked, and housing prices were largely flat in that era. Regan deregulated the banks and this led directly to the failures in the S&L's later in the 80's. It also led to the wild boom & bust cycles we have seen in the housing markets.

Does sending an HTTP request and receiving an HTTP 200 response code indicate that you're authorized? IMO, yes.

What if you send 5 million requests over the course of X timeframe, each of which also receives an HTTP 200 response. Have you "exceeded authorized access" at that point? IMO you haven't -- but right now the answer is basically, "maybe, TBD on a case-by-case basis" which is a decidedly poor answer.

And, as you eloquently summarized, that's precisely the problem with this part of the CFAA.

Unfortunately I don't think that the outcome of this specific case will do much to clarify this aspect of CFAA. That said, the final opinion could possibly shine a bit of light in the right direction if we're lucky, but I'm not holding my breath for a black-and-white interpretation any time soon...

I have no affiliation with Instagram other than a user, but I believe the answer really is that simple, they want you to use their app. The purpose of Instagram is to capture moments in time via photos on your mobile device and share those photos with your friends and others. The app serves that function eloquently so what advantage does the website give them? Users aren't discouraged from using their site, but what Instagram does not want is users to upload hundreds of images at once from the albums stored on their home computer. Not having the ability via the website helps to prevent that user. In addition, outside of uploading and altering images the website really is not missing any other functionality compared to the app.

Why have a website at all you ask? My response would be why not have a website? It's a place for their business as a whole to have a web presence. Just because a product is mobile-centric, does not mean they can't have a website. I think their website is perfect for the product. It is minimal, you can search for users, see what others are posting, participate in the comments, and like photos. The only piece I do wish they would allow you to do is see who is following you and who you are following. But to be honest, I rarely use the site at all. In fact the only time I will find myself using the site is if I am on Facebook on my laptop and want to share a photo from Instagram to my FB friends. Other than that it is the app all the way.

This is another classic "innovator's dilemma" case, where the "customers" of the incumbents (in this case the dealers) want nothing to do with the disruptive products and then they go to their suppliers (the car makers) and tell them nobody wants EVs. Then the car makers take that as "feedback from the market", and don't try to invest too much in them. All the while, the actual disruptor starts thriving in the market, to the incumbents' shock.

That's what makes this so interesting. The EEG readings showing lack of brain response to physical stimulus were correlated with different "personalities". I can't think of a better way of proving the existence of DID.

That depends on your hypothesis.

That is a circular definition. What is, "probability"?

P-values are not prescriptive statements about future observations, but are descriptions of actual observations.

Poor phrasing on my part, I think. Brane models (whether in M-theory or elsewhere) are certainly one way of producing this sort of phenomenon theoretically. (I've done research on branes in both string and M-theory.) But ultimately, what you've described is just as arbitrary as declaring "this quantum field has no electric or color charge": there's no reason known that we'd happen to have those two brane stacks in the right positions to mimic ordinary matter interacting with dark matter. (Why exactly the right branes and intersections to reproduce the standard model? Why also this separate brane or branes at a carefully chosen distance to have meaningful gravitational interactions but not gauge interactions? What stabilizes the separation of the branes over cosmological timescales? etc.)
I wonder if they're referring to video portions? I'm fairly sure both of them have attempted to block adblocking users from VOD for ages.
From my understanding, DID is not a well accepted diagnosis my psychologists. I can't comment about this person specifically, but in many cases people diagnosed with DID actually have borderline personality disorder. It's a condition characterized by an inability to regulate emotions. They tend to experience their emotions in the extreme, regard others as either entirely good or entirely bad, etc. People with this condition are also very emotionally fragile, and are very suggestible. If a doctor starts asks them a leading question about having multiple personalities, they may internalize that and act accordingly.

Agreed. I started walking for an hour+ each day about 7 months ago. I've missed perhaps 15 or 20 days since then for various reasons. This morning, I felt down and didn't want to go walk. I don't even remember the moment when I decided to get up and walk. I just found myself outside and walking, on autopilot so to speak. Having a habit really makes motivation a secondary concern and has helped me overcome the lack of motivation that hits every so often.

As I don't think over representation of engineers in terrorist groups suggests causation.
It can easy be attributed to another hidden variable such as the same culture that creates more engineers also creates more terrorist candidates(not that I think it does).

All of the current crop of research resulting from heterochronic parabiosis studies and telomerase studies are most likely just hitting different ways of ordering stem cells back to work. So you get increased tissue maintenance, and surprisingly less cancer than one might expect from putting damaged stem cells to work in damaged environments and damaged tissues.

The decline in stem cell activity is just one of the things that happens in aging, and it seems likely that this reduced activity is a response to various forms of cell and tissue damage. Researchers are now starting to identify some of the cellular cross-talk and signaling that mediates this reaction.

Putting stem cells back to work doesn't deal with lipofuscin in long-lived cells. It doesn't deal with glucosepane cross-links that our biochemistry cannot break down. It doesn't reduce nuclear DNA damage and the accompanying cancer risk. It may be somewhat helpful for amyloid accumulation via increased immune activity, such as the beta amyloid in Alzheimer's and transthyretin amyloid linked to heart failure, based on some studies. It doesn't appear to do much for accumulations of senescent cells or mitochondrial DNA damage in cell population. It doesn't reverse immune system dysregulation (inflammaging) all that much, though again there are some studies suggesting that cell transplants can suppress inflammation and this may be one of their modes of action.

So there are whole swathes of damage linked to age-related disease that this line of work doesn't help. It should probably be thought of as a parallel line of stem cell research, with expected outcomes and development akin to that achieved through cell transplant therapies. It is good, helpful progress, but not the cure for aging on its own.

Separately, examining epigenetic changes in blood and tissues appears so far to be a plausible road to a robust biomarker of aging. Such a thing is very much needed in a field in which the only way to tell right now if a possible rejuvenation treatment works is to wait and see. That costs a lot, millions and years even in mouse studies, and so the pace at which new ideas can run through the system is pretty slow. A lot of things are just never tried or validated. If instead you could run a treatment on mice, then a month later run a blood test with a reasonable expectation that the results correlated well with remaining life expectancy, then a lot more can be done with any given amount of time and money.
How does this affect copyright? As we move closer and closer to being able to take the essence of other people's pictures, and create our own out of them automatically, we're probably going to fight over who actually owns the picture. Is there any precedent for such fights?
Exactly. Also, if you are successful in altering your "extended you" your inner you will also change. E.g. if you want to become good at tests, you have to set the environment to be better at tests, once you have done that, you will become better at tests, but you will also be more likely to do more of these tests with your initial success behind you and feel more confident etc. making you actually better beyond the environment you created.
I probably would switch from programmer to designer if it paid more. But I usually get to do some form of design on the job as a programmer and I have side projects, so I'm sticking with with what pays best.

I agree that makes intuitive sense when applied to explicitly constructed experiments we could attempt to exactly repeat, but the intuition begins to break down in more complicated circumstances, such as retrospective or longitutinal studies.

It'd be a boon for anyone who depends on data scraping (which includes basically everyone in some form or another) if the Court decided that issue in that way, but I agree that it seems really unlikely that that will be broached in this case. Meanwhile, big companies will be able to scrape to their hearts' content while small companies are forcibly shut down for the same when one such big company retains a big law firm to intimidate an upstart they're afraid of with the threat of a lawsuit that costs millions just to litigate, excluding any potential damages. If the small company were to attempt to use the same law(s) to defend themselves, they'd be guaranteeing themselves said millions in legal fees, as the big company will aggressively defend itself, so it's not really an option. License to bully for the rich, bupkis for everyone else. That's how legal gray areas work.
