What you describe has struck me as far more problematic online than off. I am open about being homeless, so a lot of people act like I am "panhandling the internet" while simultaneously refusing to answer questions about "So, how can you make real money online?" or outright telling me "You can't" -- by which they mean specifically that they think I can't, because, in some cases, that is absolutely where some portion of their income comes from.

It's been pretty maddening. And I occasionally hope there is a special place in hell set aside for such people.

Most of the time IT is just implementing policy from the CIO, which is basing it on the requirements of the company's insurers. Insurance companies require some very annoying things like Anti-virus.

If you don't want your face to be recognized, you can sometimes prevent it from being detected in the first place.

Our research group recently looked into how to hide from Facebook's face detector. If you're uploading photos, adding white bars around the eyes of the subjects in the photo is the best way to prevent Facebook from finding the face. However, if you're out and about in the real world, even scarves and masks aren't enough--facebook sometimes finds these occluded faces too. There aren't very many easy answers. https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.04504
It's clear from the story that neither the stewardess, the pilot, nor the law enforcement agent thought he was an actual threat.

I'm guessing that there is a rule that if a passenger reports a suspicious person, then the plane must be held and law enforcement must be notified. Fortunately, at that point common sense was allowed to take over, rather than spiraling into multiple agencies mindlessly following bad procedures.
Prostitution doesn't stop being prostitution just because you accept a lower rate. If it's prostitution to take the highest paying job, it's prostitution to take any pay at all.

There are certainly other factors to consider than just salary, but to dismiss that consideration as "prostitution" is absurd. Money may not buy happiness, but it buys everything else. I'm a big fan of food, clothing, and shelter, all of which money can buy in abundance.

But I was lucky to pick a field with high pay and lots of good employers, so I have the luxury of choosing both.

My father and ex husband were both career military. I never slept in a tent before I went homeless, but I had heard enough stories about keeping warm, dry, or whatever while out in the wilderness.

I have never once slept on a sidewalk. I hike out to a patch of wilderness every single night. Where I currently sleep, there are deer and coyotes (a few minutes walk from a paved road).

I blog about my experiences in part because I feel strongly that homelessness does not need to be as rough as it obviously is for so many people. Humans are food and got sleep well before modern housing was invented. I feel strongly that putting out information can go a long way towards lowering artificial barriers for homeless Americans and helping them maintain ties to society in a way that can make it easier for them to get back off the street.

This is a really great question since the vast majority of the work was in ensuring correctness and reliability: everything from testing discipline to fault injection to auditing. This also included hardware testing, like pulling out circuit breakers to test our power distribution, or overheating a rack to test graceful shutdown.

Right, that's the moralistic part. However, physiologically it remains an actual treatment path. How are opiates a significant cause of suicide? How do they compare to the antidepressants I see advertised on TV that mention an increased likelihood of suicidal thoughts?

Actually this is the "dork" vs. "nerd" distinction. People now self-identify as "nerd" as self-aggrandizing (annoying actual nerds[1]). Being called a Dork has always been an insult and pejorative. In my understanding, a Dork is a Nerd, but a Nerd is not necessarily a Dork -- unless so proclaimed by one or more so-called bullies.

600 charging stations worldwide? That's worse than I thought. I'm traveling across country as we speak (I live in an RV). I've seen one electric car charging option in the past few weeks...I've filled up over a dozen times in that period. Realistically speaking, you cannot take an electric car on vacation.

That doesn't mean I don't love electric cars (I even held TSLA for a while before needing to sell some stocks for a major purchase...I kept my GOOG and sold my TSLA).

One can love electric cars while still acknowledging what they cannot yet do. There was a time when horses were a better cross country means of transit than automobiles because there wasn't infrastructure for cars yet. We're at that stage for electric cars. It'll pass.

"Cheaper" or "remain within the budget" doesn't excuse using inadequate parts that don't meet the design requirements.

Unfortunately, this total disregard for safety isn't just software anymore. When we stat skipping lessons that we've know for a looooooonng time (such as why a split bobbin is an important feature in a transformer[1]), we have evidence of a serious need for strongly enforced regulation.

> compare the career earnings of graduates with the present-day cost of a degree at their alma maters, net of financial aid

Woah, what? So a degree that cost $1 but raised your career earnings by $100 would be at 100%? 1000%? Not sure how they're doing the math, but it completely dwarfs the rest. And shows how obviously flawed the measure itself is.

One of the key things left out is the baseline cost of time. A few years of your life is not free and probably makes for a pretty high baseline cost.

What are =you= talking about? Tesla's manufacturing capabilities are far more modern and informed by Silicon Valley. Electronic cars (outside the Model X) have far fewer parts and are substantially less complex than combustion engine. Tesla has =far= better software development capabilities which is becoming much more important. Tesla has a much simpler distribution network and much closer contact with users. etc, etc, etc. It's hard to make much of a comparison.
I suspect "better value" in this case means the total cost of the car over its lifetime. Given the reliability problems of the Tesla Model S and the high sticker price, I would bet that the Honda Accord has a much better lifetime value. Maybe when Tesla fixes their manufacturing problems and releases a Model Average, that will change.

To be clear: the article claims that Facebook can recognize anyone just by seeing them. They haven't demonstrated this ability.

It's far easier to judge who's in your picture among your 20 closest friends than it is to find that face among all two billion Facebook users.

If you want to clear the hump between "someone who knows what neural networks are" and "someone who can use neural nets in practice", there are introductions to the basic theory and foundational ideas.

If you already use neural nets and want to get better with them, Hugo Larochelle and Adam Coates have worthwhile videos. Larochelle's lecture describes the various sorts of optimization techniques you can try out, while Coates' goes into how to analyze training efficiency in terms of the model you've chosen and the hardware you have available.

Finally, there's some really neat stuff that's perhaps a bit more "cutting edge"; I particularly enjoyed Goodfellow's talk about adversarial networks.
Possibly a bit tangential to the discussion, but there's some chance the "pink vs. blue" convention has a biological basis in respect to male/female color vision differences.

For example, red-green color blindness affects about 7% of males, and < 0.5% females. IOW on the whole males are more likely to be able to see and respond to blue than red or pink.

There's also intriguing if incomplete evidence that among humans with normal color vision, females are more likely to have finer color discrimination ability in the yellow-orange-red end of the spectrum compared to their male counterparts.

Of course, there are going to be a few males "outliers" who have superior color discrimination ability, so a boy could very well appreciate pink even if it's not as likely as it would be among girls.
I doubt it, unless you drop your entire life at the same time it shouldn't be too hard to associate the new face with the old identity.

Opiates are usually not a good option for long term pain relief for many patients. They can work well in the short term but long term use can ruin a person's life (I've seen it happen, it's awful) and they lose effectiveness long term and end up causing more problems than they solve. Switching opiodes from a short term option to a long term one in the 90s was a huge (and largely failed) experiment.

Long term pain control is a complicated and multi facaded beast. We need to invest in it. "Just take a pill" is clearly not the solution that works.

I am not sure what "addiction can be managed" is supposed to mean.

http://www.news-medical.net/news/20130415/New-research-shows...

The prevailing medical notion was that there was this bright line involving the opioids — that they were great for patients but the problems happened when they went out on the streets and were abused by kids and others. But today it’s clear that the long-term use of these drugs can not only be ineffective for chronic pain, but they also create bad side effects for patients. Not just addiction but powerful psychological dependency, depression of hormone production, lethargy and listlessness and sleep apnea, among others. These drugs do work well for some patients, but for many other patients, they’re not working well at all.

One leading expert said: “We thought the big problem with these drugs is addiction. Now we realize the problem is with patients who take them and basically opt out of life.” There is a general realization that while they do work for some patients, using them on a massive scale to treat chronic pain has had really disastrous consequences.

For instance, back pain is probably the leading workplace injury. What insurers and workers’ comp agencies are discovering is that when workers are treated with high doses of opioid drugs fairly soon after these injuries, it’s the leading predictor for them not coming back to work for long periods of time, or ever.

When you take a narcotic painkiller it sets off a natural reaction called tolerance, which means your body adjusts to it. You have to take more of the drug to get the same painkilling effect. Patients would come back to doctors and say, “This drug was working really well for me, but now I’m feeling pain again.” The doctor would increase the dose. The prevailing ideology during the war on pain was that these drugs had no ceiling dose. You could keep increasing them. The doctors kept boosting them every six months. People started taking higher and higher doses of these drugs. At a certain point it appears they create a change in the neurological system where people develop hyperalgesia and they become far more sensitive to pain than when they started out on these drug

This is only about earnings (the study is from PayScale), and does not take into account all the other advantages from elite schools, not all of which can be measured easily. Like money/happiness metrics, eliding those advantages may cause one to come away with a simplistic understanding of the relationship between school and outcomes. America cares about elite schools for a reason:

He says things that people agree with, that other candidates wouldn't say. And he comes across as a strong leader who would actually implement change. It's as simple as that.

I would never vote for him. But it's hard to not have sympathy for someone you see getting attacked and slandered for saying something you agree with. Political rhetoric like "supporters are X are idiots" creates polarization. People who were on the fence before become stronger supporters of X, because they feel they are under attack and need to stand up for what they believe.

Trump is a master of this tactic. He says things he knows lots of people believe, but that are very controversial. This gets him tons more media attention than other candidates.

The most important lesson I've learned from Rails is that you always have to learn the framework internals. If you're doing anything non-trivial, there will always be very helpful undocumented features, a much, much easier way to do things, and you can know how to build out entirely new functionality and keep it consistent with the core system so future developers don't have to learn every detail of your solution.
Kind of a disppointing story. The tl;dr:

The woman had indeed initially told the crew she was sick, but when she deplaned she disclosed that the reason she was feeling ill was her concern about the behavior of her seatmate. At that time, she requested to be rebooked on another flight. The crew then called for security personnel, who interviewed Menzio and determined him not to be a “credible threat.”
