Racism and wildly exaggerated fear of crime caused people to effectively demand a justice system that worked like this. So long as it only ruins black lives and those of white people who are easy to dismiss as feckless, the rest of the voters are happy with it.

> though they know these kinds of tests can be unreliable, being confronted with the chance to take one can filter out disingenuous defendants

So basically does that mean that although they don't trust the polygraph, they trust the defendant's trust in the polygraph? That seems shaky and subject to change.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned: how do you design an organization that manages and efficiently allocates $3-4 trillion in spending across the country? Has it been done before? If so, has such an organization been legislated into existence? Meanwhile, Aetna already insures more people than many countries, so it isn't clear what we'd be getting that we aren't already.

There is actually a long history of doing exactly this. In short, the government (correctly) believes that it is not very good with creating business, and it is better left in the hands of the private sector.

In terms of the ownership of the intellectual property, the extent to which these NIH/NSF Grants reach ends with the discovery of the knowledge. These Grants are not considered benefits or entitlements, but awards to support specific public purposes. It is a form of transfer payment from the government. You can consider it a lever for the government to support selected fields of research, but no more than that. These Grants are designed specifically to not entitle the funding agency ownership of the discovery.

The government is determined to help the scientists and the institutions to turn the discoveries into businesses, because only through business can these insights gained from research benefit consumers. There are specific grants for this purposes and they have in the past been successful at helping brining discoveries to market, creating viable small businesses. The idea is that the ownership of the intellectual property is best bestowed upon those who were involved in the original discovery. And it is best to leave the creation of businesses to the private sector, because the government is not very good with creating businesses directly. If you are looking for an examples of government being inefficient at running business, you can look at the nuclear power industry. It is completely government owned because of the obvious homeland security implications. Yet it continuously operates at a loss.

As a side-note, to address your comment on "universities train these specialists":

these specialists are not trained by the Universities. These specialists are the universities sans the administrators, There won't be Harvard without these PI's. Also, knowledge is useless on paper. It is these specialists who knows how to use these knowledge who are valuable. Just to give a sense of how rare(and valuable) these specialists are, in physics and biology (where I have worked), I noticed that in most of the fields there are usually less than five lab and their corresponding PI's who are contributing 95% of the most cutting edge work.

What planet are you living on where a wedding only costs $2,000, and no more than $10,000?

Oh, come on! When a friend decided to get married, he and his fiancee went downtown and got married by a judge. Just the two of them. They fed each other french fries at the nearby McDonald's. They're still married 30 years later.

And, partially as a result of that frugality, they recently had the enviable problem of how to invest $1,000,000 cash, when they sold their big house after their kids grew up. They're currently living in a simple 3 bedroom, 2 bath tract house because they don't need more.

Another friend also got married downtown by a judge. I was there as best man, there was also a maid of honor. That totals 4 people. That was 1990. They're still married.

Weddings don't have to be expensive.

Even heroine is not worse than alcohol if one accounts for the total cost for society. For example, under alcohol one is much more likely to harm or kill another person than under opiats. So continuing to profit from sales of alcohol while making opiat use criminal is hypocrisy.
@randomname2, my title is not implying that Paypal is sexist, rather I find it amusing how one can organize a discussion that doesn't include a side from the other gender to represent that gender if the topic is Gender Equality and Inclusion in the workplace. Therefore, it is the organizers in Paypal and not Paypal at all.

Unless, the intention for this talk is inviting all the women at Paypal to discuss their issues in front of Senior Male Leaders and create an resolution on how to make Paypal more diverse, etc. This discussion make sense why all panelist are male.

Or another scenario that I can see is that they don't have any senior female leaders to represent the women@paypal in this discussion.

Actually, having this kind of discussion shows that Paypal maybe lacking in regards to diversity, gender, etc issues and wants to understand more what the other side needs. Because why would they even discuss it if it is not an issue at all. This shows that Paypal management is listening to their employees by creating a discussion between Senior Management and the employees.

Note: I didn't intend to submit a culture war related content. I submitted this because I find this amusing.
Why do you consider a role model in a field of endeavour unrelated to one's sex should be the same sex as oneself? Isn't that just the sort of sexism that you're attempting to avoid??

It seems either women are so different that they need female-centric approaches to programming and aspects, including their role models, must be tailored specifically for them. In which case, that's surely the reason there aren't so many women in tech - that it just doesn't follow the female-centric mores. Or, women and men are alike (ie fit within the same spectrum of abilities, insight and such) when it comes to programming and we should just get on with it and stop pretending people need specific help because of their sex?

A few reasons:

* It's easier to find people with JS skills than C++ skills

* It takes ages to build Qt and it's unreasonably hard to compile. Building the Linux kernel is far less painful.

* It takes ages to build a single Qt project and we have multiple architectures to deploy to (ppc, arm, x86).

* Remote connections are trivial. People only need a browser to connect remotely.

The people at the company who have been using it like it a lot. They just have to put together a few tags and boom there's your GUI.

The GUI has access to some system variables via WebSocket. We have a two-way binding abstraction so people don't have to think too much about events and such.

I wouldn't recommend HTML for a small company though. Better stick to Qt if you're a small group of competent C++ programmers.

Interesting to read about some real world experiences with Open CASCADE 'in the wild'.

What version of Open CASCADE did you look into the Boolean operations? The experience I have is also that they are not very fast, but more in terms of minutes not hours. From what I know there are 'old' style and 'new' style Boolean operations in the recent (6.9 and 7.0 beta) versions of Open CASCADE and the experience I am talking about is the 'new' style Boolean operations.

How big were the typical shapes you used, in terms of number of vertices/edges/faces? And for these shapes what was the comparative speed in Parasolid or ACIS kernels?

Jawbone Data: How University Sleep
You're right. I did make a US centric statement. I think in my university career there was never more than 2 in my department in one year, and 1 of them was an African international student.
And then that old tech is still around for a long, long time....

Piston aeroplanes are still flying today. New ones, in small 2, 4 and 6 seat capacity are still being built[0]. Some older piston aeroplanes, perhaps in the region of 40-60 years old, are being overhauled and modernised for commercial flight training use.[1] Some larger 8-12 seat piston aeroplanes are still in use carrying commercial passengers and cargo[3] and also have various modernisation upgrade options available.[4]

Of course there are modern turboprop aeroplanes which can do the same jobs better - for some definition - but the issue is economics. The capital investment in a turboprop outweighs the cost of maintenance and Avgas in an older piston engine design. (This is changing due to the fact of Avgas becoming very scarce in many regions of the world.)

The point being, I wouldn't expect the PC, with keyboard and mouse paradigm, to disappear in the near future. I'd still expect many white collar workers to be sitting at their desk, typing on a something resembling a keyboard, in 50 years time.

Nor do eyewitness stories. Nor does recognizing someone from a single photo instead of a proper lineup. These are cases where there's already no reliable evidence in the first place. Really, they should go to court and it would be clear they're not guilty but the polygraph just helps shortcut it. Even better would be no polygraph and just release people when they find they don't have any reliable evidence.
BS. All of mainstream media is (and has always been, by design) a tool for _manipulating_ public opinion, not for reflecting reality. So any talk about objectivity in journalism is utterly misplaced.

Let's put it this way: if you attached a light bulb (which can get fairly hot) to USB, would you expect the same problem? What about plugging a soldering iron in the wall plug -- would you expect that to heat the socket (and cable)?

It's not the current that makes it hot, it's how the current flows through it.

EDIT: It's basically about resistance (the things that get hot are the resistors): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

EDIT2: I'm not an electronics person either. Please feel free to correct me if I'm grossly misrepresenting how things work.
Moderating Facebook: The Dark Side of Social Networking
This 'Three Strikes' rule is a real problem in America, removing a judge's ability to exercise discretion and well...judge. Also, the jury may not be informed about it before deliberating.

I sat on a jury once for a car thief. He totally did it, the police detective who testified was very thorough and professional, plus the accused did not dispute that he'd been caught driving the stolen car (he blamed someone else for the actual theft) but we listened to both sides and deliberated for a couple hours, considering everything. There was a lot of solid evidence, I am certain he did it even though I'm sceptical about what the police say (I have absolutely seen them lie under oath on multiple occasions). I am well aware of the concept of jury nullification.

We were a little confused why the guy didn't take a plea deal and went to trial but we took the job of jury seriously and after looking at the evidence we were comfortable saying he was guilty. The problem was that we had no idea this was the guy's 'third strike' and the judge mentioned this only a moment before sentencing him to life imprisonment. Several on the jury were clearly surprised by this and I think had we known it may have changed our verdict.

The defendant was a young man, and I am not convinced that sending him to prison for several decades for stealing a car (which was recovered undamaged) is of any benefit to society. Being on a jury means you are definitely not going to see the 'big picture' and when combined with mandatory minimum sentencing, this can be a problem.
Alot of people in this thread talking about how they won't use Uber for whatever reason. Those are the minority of opinion.

More people will use ride services when they are cheaper. Rides are a commodity. You will get there just as much with Uber as with Lyft. It doesn't make that big of a difference to most people. It's like the level of luxury in a car. I'm sure it's rare to find people not taking a Lyft or an Uber because the car didn't have leather seats.

I'm a daily user (to and from work, carless for over 18 months now) and I use the cheapest option. Historically it was Uber. Checked and for the past 4 months or so, it's be Lyft so I switched. Now it's back to Uber because of one reason, price.

The drivers on Lyft seem a bit happier and nicer but, it doesn't really make that much of a difference. I'm not using a car service for the quality of a 10 minute conversation with a random stranger that I'll never see again.

First of all..The stereotype is mainly nerdy, socially-awkward male...but is it overall white? No. Actually the percentage of white people in software is lower than the overall demographics. I can understand why white is singled out here, because it helps to drive the rhetoric of the discussion to racism and sexism, but fundamentally the problem is much more complex.

My 2 cents about why women are underrepresented in software industry is that not too many of them are interested in the beginning.

One big drive of male programmers, according to my observation (hundreds of samples), are video games, myself included. It is stereotyping, but it is statistically significant. Gamers are overwhelmingly MALE. That is the a big reason that I got to know different parts of computer hardwares, collecting parts from markets and assemble them, and eventually being thrown into this industry. As to girls, they may not have same level of motivation as the boys had. It was in the days, when computer programming was still kind of niche profession and by no means had that much of influence as it cast on the society today, so self-motivation is important.

Fundamentally, if we want to really solve the gender issue in this industry, it is not the duty of those established software companies to force reverse sexism to artificially inflate the gender ratio, it is the early stage education system to introduce programming to wider range of people. Once it becomes universal parts of people's curriculum, the problem will be there no longer.

I don't think he meant it like that at all. If he thought a girl couldn't teach you anything about integrals, he wouldn't have asked for help.

I think he used it as an example to show that the cultural distinction in his school between the genders when it came to math weren't enormous. Had there been a clear culture of math as an all-boys-no-girls subject, that exchange (were he as a boy asked a girl for help) would never have happened.

It is an example used to convey that it wasn't common for boys to think a girl couldn't teach you anything about integrals.
It is impossible to create a total ordering of preference when you have conflicting priorities (or "tension" between priorities). This reflects reality. Humans often get in weird situations where they prefer A to B, B to C, and C to A. The issue is not that the principles are incorrect, but that their application is confused for objectivity.
Thanks for that! As others mentioned, I'm fine with the first point but the other two I'm not too keen on.

We have the same idea today about the older trial by ordeal. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_by_ordeal#Theoretical_ap... :

> According to a theory put forward by economics professor Peter Leeson, trial by ordeal may have been effective at sorting the guilty from the innocent. On the assumption that defendants were believers in divine intervention for the innocent, then only the truly innocent would choose to endure a trial; guilty defendants would confess or settle cases instead. Therefore, the theory goes, church and judicial authorities could routinely rig ordeals so that the participants—presumably innocent—could pass them. To support this theory, Leeson points to the great latitude given to the priests in administering the ordeal and interpreting the results of the ordeal. He also points to the overall high exoneration rate of accused persons undergoing the ordeal, when intuitively one would expect a very high proportion of people carrying a red hot iron to be badly burned and thus fail the ordeal.

This is exactly the same thing, but with an ordeal that poses no actual physical risk even without cheating by the officiator.

And by "fairly hot", you might use as an example the tungsten filament in a Christmas light bulb - which can be 2500 C!

Power (and therefore heat) is current squared times resistance, or equivalently voltage drop times current. A copper wire or PCB trace has very low resistance, and a soldering iron tip or thin tungsten filament has high resistance, so one stays cool while the other gets hot.
