For intelligence. Society, on the contrary, is build upon status, papers and titles - a hierarchy in general, so in the social aspect "where" matters the most. Ask any British about Oxford.)

Btw, studying CS in MIT (a school which traditionally taught principles and big ideas) and in, say, third-rate school that taught Java coding makes a huge difference.

It is not a coincidence that it was MIT and Stanford from where the best things in CS came from (and we should not forget the "parallel universe" of Standard ML and eventually Haskell, which came from UK schools).
It's simpler than that. Since gender is a social construct, just have two types of bathrooms: 'standing' bathrooms with urinals and 'sitting' bathrooms with private stalls.

This would be something specific to soda bottles, I would imagine: more (and thus more pressurized) CO2 gas will need thicker-walled bottles to hold it. I expect it's not true for other PET liquid containers, like for water/juice/etc.
The Power Of A Picture
I phrased that badly - it's not that they can reach the Internet, it's that with the exception of true high-security fully-airgapped locations, if the machine is networked then it's almost guaranteed that the Internet (or something on it) can effectively reach out and touch that machine even if it's only via other systems.

I don't work in a hospital environment, haven't for more than a decade and wasn't interacting with clinical systems even then, but my understanding is that a very significant amount of medical equipment was networked even then, and was at least in theory capable of streaming HL7-formatted data to other internal systems for reasons of patient care, billing, or both. How much of that happens in the real world instead of being theoretical is something I can't say, but I'm sure in the 15+ years since I was working with HL7 that hospitals and equipment haven't gotten less networked.
'The resulting 160 x 104 resolution image allows users to inspect a 3D object from any angle simply by rotating the phone.'

The screen is highres but the resulting 3d image is not by far. So its like VR: it really needs ultra high reslutions for a user experience with reasonable details. Plus computing power.
Lots of things inside Windows emit ETW events, which is Windows equivalent of DTrace (basically the entire OS, and .NET), it's super useful for debugging performance related events. It's not "Telemetry" like Google Analytics, it's for _you_ to debug your own programs.

Along the same lines as your 'where the fuck is the FDA' comment -- I've worked in Financial and Healthcare systems on and off for about the last 10 years.

I have seen SSAE16 audited companies that haven't patched anything in years. FDIC examined institutions with ATM machines still running OS/2 Warp(actually probably more secure than the ones running XP, with no updates installed. Ever.)

I once found the management interface of a SAN with a public IP address directly on the device, no firewall rules of any sort, and the device still had the default username/password. It hadn't been patched or rebooted in over 2 years.

More shocking is that a review of the logs didn't show any successful unauthorized logins. Of course, they could have cleaned up after themselves, but further investigation was outside the scope of my engagement(They didn't want to know. They were happy to present that, despite the oversight, there was no indication that PHI had been accessed by unauthorized people. Their conclusion, not mine.)

Crikey - that escalated quickly.

Government is all about restricting what you can do (don't steal, don't kill, etc) under the banner of providing for other members of society (provision of safety, protection under the law, etc).

There's a clear trend over the last several decades showing precisely the reallocation of wealth from working classes to middle / upper class. Here in AU we've just had a budget presented that, once again, provides welfare for middle / upper, with an increased tax burden to the lower / working. It's not as though this is a once-off event, or something that our friends in Europe or the US haven't been noticing either.

Could you describe your thoughts on the contra situation there -- where there isn't, and you don't happen to have enough wealth to survive.

I'm guessing you've enjoyed some good fortune in regards the circumstances of your birth.

I really don't know if you're trolling. It's not just about truck drivers, though they're a good example because a) there's lots of them, b) today the job they do is essential to western societies, c) once they start to be replaced by computers / robots the changeover is going to be astonishingly fast, so you're going to have an awful lot of them hit the job market very quickly, worldwide, and most importantly d) they're not particularly well paid so they are unlikely to have a whole lot of wealth to invest.

If your answer to this kind of problem is 'it sucks to be you', then I hope you're not in a position of contributing to public policy.

Did you read the OP?

What evidence would satisfy you? Lots of announcements of huge layoffs across multiple industry sectors but almost no announcements of large job creations (well, lots of announcements, but subsequent analysis of these generally reveal they were hugely optimistic - never delivering what they promised)? Clear decline, almost universally, of the wage component of GDP? A belief that an increase in the sophistication of technology and automation can increase the job market?
If you want to see staff withdraw, check out, or blow up at random, remove the consistency they use to self-assess their performance. A lot of tech companies are too young to understand that a meritocracy is more about leadership than trivia.

Flat organizations (as distinct from BDFLs) reward bullies and manipulators, consistently with the "star system" in the article, while punishing pro-social people who align based on principles and reasoned consent to rules.

I'm just curious. I work in the automotive sector and develop hardware and software using components that are advertised as functionally safe. I use harden RTOS from vendors who claim their RTOSes are in medical devices as well as military systems.

One such system is Disti (http://www.disti.com/)

In the automotive field, our software is MISRA compliant, static analysis is done (Klockworks - http://www.klocwork.com/) and we follow a very strict set of guidelines outlined in ISO25119 and ISO26262 for the construction and agricultural markets. Think self driving tractors and combines. For example: A tractor traveling down a field with a combine following it a few rows over separating and chopping things into a catcher all done with one person driving.

This shit can't happen where I work. Every component on our circuit boards has a MTTFd of 40 years. Hardware watchdogs can kill the system if software goes awry.

Software is written to readiness level called SRL-1, SRL-2, etc... Unit tests, peer reviews, etc... Functional safety in medical devices is covered under 510(K)
(http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedur...)

I find it amazingly short sited that antivirus software is even allowed on a medical device to begin with. I can't even imagine how this system even passed the easiest audit for software readiness.

How is it you "go hoarse having the same conversations?" Do you not have to meet FDA compliance criteria? Are you in the US?

I didn't read the whole article so I'm assuming this happened in the US. For me, we sell autonomous vehicles in the European markets where functional safety seems to be a bit more aggressive there right now for vehicles. Not sure about medical devices.
It's not "Telemetry" like Google Analytics, it's for _you_ to debug your own programs.

People have been debugging just fine for the past few decades without extra bloating code in their runtime libraries. A good old-fashioned debugger with tracepoints will accomplish the same thing, and doesn't add overhead when it's not in use.
Sort of - we don't really mind if people come to get their court thingies signed after the meeting. The thing is, most people who don't want to be there quickly realize that they can just have anyone sign them. There's no way for a court to verify that people are going to meetings.

This is, of course, bullshit. I know two friends who acquired their depression genetically from their parents, and it manifested itself in them, and their siblings as well. At times they were extremely suicidal, and they described it as waking up and wanting to kill themselves every day, and not killing themselves was the biggest struggle they ever faced.

Academia, as a career path, is a non-starter for the huge majority of people who even want to go down that path.

Universities are not growing at the same rates that they were in the 60's and 70's. If you're a graduate student, not only are your classmates your competition, but every professor who supervises more than 1 PhD thesis is actually contributing to the overpopulation of PhDs. These two things in combination are why we have so many adjuncts on campus doing most of the teaching of undergrads.

Even if the above weren't true, the path to a tenured position is not something I'd wish on a mortal enemy. Start off with several years in grad school making poverty-level wages. Add on 1-3 postdocs at a minimum, making probably 3/4 or less of what an assistant professor would. Then, there's the 6 year job interview (i.e. the tenure process). And, then, factor in that you don't get to choose where you live during all this. You have to go where the jobs are, and there might only be a handful of jobs in your subfield any given year.

That all amounts to about 6-10 years of post-baccalaureate slog before you can even start a career and begin living like an adult.

If you come out the other end without a job, then your next search becomes even harder. If you get the job, then, yes, congratulations, it's now very hard to fire you, but good luck finding another tenured position if you decide you want to move. Oh, and the people you work with, you're going to see most of them every day for the next 10, 20, or 30 years.

In spite of all that, I might have actually ridden the train to the end, had I not realized that I was preparing to enter a field where I'd literally have to wait for someone to die before I got a job. Nobody told me any of this until I was already in grad school for a couple of years, and even then I ended up figuring most of it out on my own.
So.. a managed server. That has existed for a long time, and, hold onto your hat, involves a server.
Ketamine is still far too drastic and probably only really necessary when the depression is acute and prolonged. I would rather advise a non-SSRI like tianeptine. At least that is currently O.C. without an Rx required.

Edit: looks like HN has been down this very same road before[0] when Ketamine was brought up; and I'm smiling to see that I'm not the only one to think of Tianeptine in contrast to the drastic use of Ketamine. Psychopharmacology is the tried and true drug pusher of our times.

Law school bar pass rates and first year associate salaries are not what they used to be. According to http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/15/pf/jobs/lawyer-salaries/ , the median salary for a first year associate is $62k. Add to the mix that law schools inflate their employment stats by including people whose jobs have nothing to do with the law, and what you get is students suing their law schools for fraud (e.g. http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/08/pf/college/lawsuit-thomas-je...)
> they included proper instructions in their documentation, advising companies to whitelist Merge Hemo's folders in order to prevent crashes from happening, so it seems that the whole incident was nothing more than an oversight on the medical unit's side.

And the hospital included full instructions to the software company on how to properly perform a heart transplant, so they were baffled why the programmer just let his teammate die of heart failure.

Come on, this kind of stuff should be a zero-configuration hardware-based black box, with its own buttons, screen, etc. --- not something that needs to be (or even can be) connected to something outside the vendor's total control.

We should better educate people entering (or considering) PhD programs about their likely job prospects after graduation.

There have been a lot of articles (example [2]) written about the terrible situation that graduating PhD students are put in, where they'll likely be stuck in a postdoc for 10+ years with no chance of advancement.

It's insane that 1/3 are graduating without a job in hand. Either we limit the number of PhDs we generate or we increase the available number of (academic?) positions [1].

Cost cutting at Dropbox and Silicon Valley startups
I will say that fortunately things are better in computer science academia. (Note I'm assuming you go to a top school for your PhD). The extreme competition is still there (even at a top 4 school), but:

1) it is common to skip a postdoc or only do 1 postdoc

2) the "backup" option is going to work for an industry research lab or a tech company for 200k+ per year. And if your field is one applicable to industry, like systems (databases, networking, distributed systems, OS) or AI/ML, you've also gained skills that actually do command a salary premium (although the premium does not come close to the opportunity cost of a PhD) and some job security.

Yeah, I didn't mention that. Things are much better in a handful of technical fields, CS foremost among them. Math, engineering, physics, and economics all have some possibilities outside academia. Most other fields, you might as well cross off those years on your CV if you're looking to industry.

Also, if you spend more than 1 year "out of the game," forget about ever getting back on the academic track.
Would 'rejecting' the call result in the calling user's operator billing them, though? This is a major concern with international usage, given phone providers' tendency to... overcharge for what's technically VoIP usage.

The classical text message verification schemes barely have this issue in most of the world as the recipient pays nothing, but of course the sender gets billed instead.

This doesn't reserve the incoming number for just that user (given that one has to enter their phone number beforehand), but while the user is using the line, other users most likely wouldn't be able to call either (though it might be Twilio handles this as well and sends a status message anyway - as even cell carriers seem able to notify users of incoming calls while being in a call already).
It's relatively easy to change/fake the caller ID of phone calls so unfortunately this approach isn't really secure. That's why phone number verification usually places an outgoing call, to verify that you're actually able to receive calls on that number.
Subjective experience is an emergent property of fundamental physics. It is not fundamental in itself and it doesn't seem to require any new fundamental physics. If you think that some new fundamental physical law is needed, then maybe you can explain what it does by describing what would happen if we removed it from the universe? Would people stop dead? Would people behave completely normally except they would answer "no" when asked "are you conscious?"
Another problem that the article didn't mention is that with the end of mandatory retirement, professors take a lot longer to leave [1]. With people sticking around longer, there is less turnover in tenure track positions, and more competition when positions open up. It's the reason people accept the poor pay and terrible job security of being an adjunct: you've got to hang out somewhere waiting for that dream job and you don't want to stray that far from academia... Serial postdocs are doing the same thing. From personal experience, its very difficult to find that one thing that you absolutely excel at, your life calling, but having to face the likelihood that you may never get that dream professorship and make the money to have children or buy a house.
