I'm with you...I can see exactly how this can happen.

Unfortunately the only thing that can solve the apathetic board and executive management problem(who only see dollar signs) is the actuality, or realistic possibility, of significant financial loss, or loss of their personal freedom(prison) due to the negligence of the system. And a $10 Mil fine for a fault in something that you make $100 Mil off of is not significant. That's $90 Mil profit in their eyes. And they probably get to write it off.

Even more unfortunate, is that, in the situation that this happens, the "engineers responsible" will be fired, and the executives will resign with a nice golden parachute, and go on to do the same thing somewhere else.

But then you have the company that does do it right, spend the time, and the money to make a truly redundant, fault-tolerant system. But, they come in at a price point 20% higher than their competitor, who doesn't. Which company survives and which doesn't?

Sad, but, unfortunately the way it is. I don't know a practical solution either.
I think the hyperbolic use of "sweatshop" these days generally means "they throw labor at problems" instead of selling an innovative product / solution, rather than referring to low wages.
The article seems to suggest (but doesn't outright state) that undergoing withdrawal accelerates the development of addiction. Is that a known effect with opiates?

>If redistribution is reckless interference, you're about to find yourself awfully lonely in your politics.

Compulsory redistribution IS reckless, and yes I'm awfully lonely in my politics.

Compulsory redistributive programs pervert incentives leading to less individual responsibility over time. These programs are clumsy cookie cutter solutions, which with a stroke a pen, impose the same formula to tens/hundreds of millions of people. On one end, the people lose out, and on the other, they win out in the short term. The only determinant of which side a person is on is the amount of currency that they report to the government that they received for that year.

This is an overly simplistic formula that not only adversely affects incentives, but also becomes increasingly better gamed over time, leading to competitive energies being diverted to economically wasteful activities like tax avoidance (which is an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year now).

These programs recklessly create compulsory economic relationships between millions of people, without taking into account the unique circumstances found in this vast population. They ignore localized knowledge that is diffused throughout the millions of those affected by the program, which would otherwise be the basis of spontaneous order created by the mutually voluntary economic relationships formed in the free market, in favor of a blanket judgment made by some legislature made up of a couple hundred people.

They are pure economic destruction.

>You sound like you want to maximize economic efficiency. I want to maximize human welfare,

By far the best way to maximize human welfare is to grow the economy. Because its benefits are compounding, economic growth exceeds all other methods of raising the standard of living over the long run.

I think you're also neglecting that one aspect of human welfare is to be free and not subject to authoritarianism. By your logic if an alien species offered us confinement in a wonderful utopian prison we should take that bargain because freedom doesn't matter.
Don't understand his point.

100 years ago, we understood the physical laws surrounding the everyday things like the telegraph, the radio, the bi-plane, the early cars, etc.

And 100 years from now, we will understand the physical laws surrounding everyday things like the holograph, light speed travel, the driverless hover-car, etc.
Nitpicking: assignment is an expression that returns () in Rust, meaning `foo(a = 1, a)` is valid if foo has a signature like `fn foo(x: (), y: i32)`. However, arguments are (mostly) defined to be evaluated from left to right.
> Make men's rooms into generally accessible restrooms and leave ladies rooms as ladies rooms. That would pretty much solve the problem although it hits on the other political hot button...

I'm pretty sure the simplest solution is just gender neutral bathrooms with suitably private stalls. That's it. No need to complicate this further.

I've been in several establishments[1] where this is the bathroom situation and it works just fine.

I actually did read most of the article and did a ctrl-f for "the americans" (with quotes) and the only instance it found was in a comment that also didn't see the reference. Sorry about that.
I agree with you, but the flat line might not be the best example because that has a very specific meaning (asystole) that doctors will take certain actions based on without necessarily trying to verify it manually when time is already critical. You should never be able to confuse an error message for anything else.
Or, to put it another way, it's Microsoft saying, "Hey, you probably want local event tracing in your application, so we enabled it by default." Been a while since I've done Windows dev (and I'll install VS Beta to check this out), but it might be as simple as the default project skeleton including an instrumentation manifest whose presence adds EWT tracing to the build chain. It's basically Windows' syslog equivalent, so unless Win10 is sending back all EWT eventing as a matter of course -- which, Win10 being a privacy carwreck, it might well be! -- I'm not too alarmed.
It clearly sounds like money is no obstacle, and perhaps this is due to the parents' return to Russia as heroes and subsequent plush career placements.

Very interesting read.

Fail fast is fine for a dating app, it's not acceptable for a antilock breaking system. As to disk IO they should have kept a redundant disk for backup just in case. Remember a program can generally spend 0.05 seconds waiting and no big deal. A program that takes 300 seconds to reboot is far worse.
Can you support this claim? I don't dispute the fact that the interest rates are astronomical, but I am skeptical about how the profitability pans out once you deal with the enormous risk of the borrowing group. I imagine most of the upside lies in trying to prey upon people who are in less dire need of credit than they think, because then they can have their enormous upside without as enormous a risk. Your assertion suggests that there's money on the table if only someone will step up to take it, and I find that to be a damning implication for an argument, absent strong proof.

I know commenting on the website and not the content is deeply frowned upon, but this case is so egregious that I feel compelled to break the rule.

The entire left side of my screen is a static image. I can't scroll to pass it. Literally half a screen just not doing anything during my entire reading experience. I'm the last person to complain about web-design (really I'm a total philistine on these issues). But its bad enough that it got in the way of digesting the article efficiently. That's where I draw the line.

I did, they said I have a slightly deviated septum, but that's common for most people and there's no need for surgery. And that I shouldn't even feel anything.

I also checked my lungs and everything was fine.

It might be related to a mental disorder or something. I have anxiety and maybe other stuff that I never bothered to fix.
Is there a tl;dr version of all this?
You seem to be arguing as though the current situation is preferable and consumers just need to be convinced of that.

Firstly, the user is not in control of the contract. They have no realistic means of modification or exerting pressure, nor resisting or requiring changes. Take it or leave it is not control.

Secondly. You are likely aware of the permissions systems being introduced on modern smartphones. This is an interesting step towards inverting the control of the device back towards the user.

Similar steps can be made in other areas. CNN training is certainly a different action to usage, and has different privacy implications, so they should obtain permissions independently.

Note how these systems are not permission forever, but permission for now. Handling this sort of data access is a pain, but it isn't actually hard.
I would say it's just the auto white balance on the camera trying to deal with an unnaturally warm (color temp) scene by adding blue. Not sure what kind of street lights they have there, but they are also bluish which would imply the WB is significantly off
As Facebook is included, the question must mean "who's next to succeed" in the space.
Aside from your circular reasoning (kids that are sucessful are successful), you could transpose this argument back half a century and have faulty rationale that many whites used to justify segregation of academic institutions at all levels. The success of Jewish students from "less successful" backgrounds once anti-Semitism was largely dismantled demonstrates how this was absurd on its face.
> get to write it off

A fine being tax deductible does not mean zero cost to the company, it means the profit is reduced before taxes are computed, i.e. the actual cost is reduced by the marginal tax rate. A tax credit means zero cost.

Those logistics are not as simple as it may seem. 2 bags of dope/pills/caps/doses a day becomes 3, 4, 6, 8 twice a day + 9 on Sundays. Happens to everyone given a long enough usage period. There's that proverbial slippery slope there, and once you're over the hump it's checkmate. Wait until something happens to these successful folks - and it will. there's a weak link somewhere in the chain and when it breaks they will act like every other junky.
[Video] Antarctica Mission Finds 71M-Year-Old Fossils
A different post showing exactly what the info is and where it goes (hint: nowhere):

https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/4ibauu/visual_studio_a...

There is no info going in and out, it just adds hooks to the runtime for you to add telemetry if you want it.
I was not thrilled by the reasoning presented here:

> The team also point out that 2007 is a good year to look for Dunbar layers because it predates the widespread use of smartphones and social networks like Facebook. These provide other avenues for social contact that would have made the study much harder.

That's not... a good thing to be bragging about if you're trying to make a point.

First of all, this doesn't acknowledge that lots of people don't like talking on the phone. Further, lots of the closeness that creates intimacy between people can only happen in person. The more I like you, the less I want to spend my time with you on the phone.

The huge problem is that by controlling for Facebook and smartphones, you're ignoring the fact that those technologies have completely re-written the communications story for our species in under a decade. Not to mention that there's an entire generation that have come up at a time where texting and Facebook have always been there, so to exclude these mediums renders all of these conclusions not as analysis of how people communicate today but a record of how some people used to communicate in a previous era. It's not useful, it's cultural history.

The questions that are far more interesting now are around whether things like social media have started to affect our capacity for meaningful relationships. Surely while some of this stuff is biology, some of it was also a function of it simply being harder to keep in contact with 1000 people before 2007 for most people.
Requires updating bathrooms to ensure they have those suitably private stalls, potentially replacing urinals and is basically an attempt at having private restrooms with shared sinks.

That means it will come with costs of adjustment for every restroom to implement it in a suitable manner.

The solution I mentioned above involves nothing more than a sign on the door and it addresses the majority of concerns that have people at odds.

The data stays local at most. It's a hook for devs to add telemetry, not telemetry that goes to the mothership or anything like that.
> From a high-level-language standpoint, static typing is a crutch

I see types as a high-level design tool. They allow me to reason about a domain, and figure out how to structure things at a high level before delving into the implementation. Yes, performance is a great side-benefit, but it is not always the driving factor.
> income is inversely correlated with impulsiveness, which is correlated with being addiction prone

I'm sure many people think this, but do we know if it's actually true? Is there any research or data?

For example, as a completely speculative alternative hypothesis, people with more money could be more impulsive because they can afford it.
Depression, like obesity, is acquired, habitual change due to environmental factors. Non fraudulent CBT (active traveling in a unfamilar environment as a simplest example) is enough to introduce persistent changes (that is why there are so many stories about profound changes people undergo after visiting the East - radical behavioral change will lead, through conditioning, to change in biochemistry - body is a dynamic, adaptive system).

There is, of course, no way to change one's physical or mental conditions without introducing changes to habits, daily routines and environment.
I'm sorry I don't understand your point?

I mean, heroin is cheap and abundantly available.
NC checking in. There are several issues with your treatment of the debate around HB2, the most egregious being perpetuation of the claim that the core intent of this bill was to limit bathroom access in the first place. I would like to direct readers attention to the portions of the bill that prevent cities in North Carolina from setting their own discrimination standards or setting a city-wide minimum wage, and most especially the section that strips citizens ability to file suit for discrimination in state courts. Furthermore I think it's important to highlight the fact that this bill was rammed through in ~12 hours during a special session with no prior debate.
Mostly because of the community around the Pi. Interestingly, though, the ODROID C2 may be a much better option. I just don't know if I'll end up picking up more than one of them just yet.
False, there are three (western?) countries that allow it: USA, New Zealand, and Brazil [1]. Here in NZ, there are not very many ads on TV for prescription mediation. "Ask your doctor" is a common phrase, but I get the impression that the large majority of advertised drugs are non-prescription. (But I watch little TV and I certainly avoid watching TV ads)

>will dictate that poor people will forever be poor.

I really don't understand what the basis of this claim of yours is. I also don't understand how this can possibly justify authoritarian income redistribution where people are thrown in prison and confined to small enclosures if they refuse to hand over currency that they receive in private trade.

Your desire to do good does not justify you bending someone else to your will.

> Saying a market economy is the end of economic history is like saying physics is over.

Regarding "the end"...in the tradition Varoufakis is from, and what I am talking of, that word doesn't really come into play. In this respect, you are talking about discrete math and we are talking about continuous math - there are discrete elements, stops and starts with the ideology you're talking about, the predominant ideology. With our ideology there are not starts and ends, there is thesis, there is antithesis, and then there is synthesis.

In a sense, physics has ended. Aristotelian physics ended in the 17th century of Galileo and Newton. Their physics ended in the early 20th century of Einstein and quantum mechanics.

You can look at it discretely like that, or continuously if you wish, one transforming to the other.

I mean let's look at it another way. The United Kingdom has a reigning monarch. It's a kingdom, technically. The feudalism hasn't "ended". It's just irrelevant. The people with power in the UK today are the prime minister, as well as industrialists like Richard Branson. The titles haven't ended, they've just become irrelevant.

Also, if you have as you say, models that out-predict and out-perform markets, then you have real just-in-time production and shipping and planning and so forth, and it starts to become more of a planned economy. A planned economy is just one where production is based on real want, although the phrase has picked up other connotations.

There are other factors as well. What are called "commodities" (although that may even change) are increasingly not a car, or vegetable or whatnot, but a piece of intellectual property - a book, an app, whatever. No scarcity - it is created, published and can instantly be distributed all over the world, virtually for free. The first one is very expensive, every subsequent copy is virtually free. This is not a commodity as we traditionally know it, and commodities are the bedrock of our modern market.
sounds good. so how do i get off my ass and do it?
Using only facial recognition cannot identify a person in the world. However, combined with one or two GPS points (photo geotags), you can get pretty damn close.
I've thought about this a lot. I've had private conversations with the CEO which lead me to believe that their apathy is a, if not the, primary driver in this situation, at least within the company. Ultimately, they are the single individual who can force these changes in the departments. As things stand today, as far as I can tell, the CEO and the rest of the executive team got theirs and that's that. Anything extra is just that, extra.

We've been close to undergoing "major" scrutiny (as it was sold to me, it was A Big Deal) from the FDA before. I, personally, just a lowly and underpaid engineer, have saved executive staff from having to sign their names on that noose. I had a manager once who seemed to want to push it that far, to stand idle-by while the walls fell down around us. I, unknowingly at the time, prevented it from happening because I was trying to help our customers. I don't regret that decision, actual patients shouldn't have to suffer because of a management teams ineptitude. I do think about it often, though. I understand this is nebulous, and I'm sorry for that. This is a reality, though.

I guess that's the thing that really gets me, the FDA. We sell FDA approved devices. Where the fuck is the FDA? We send them paperwork and they are happy. I can only form the opinion that they, the FDA, are ill prepared to handle this situation; The actual situation, the "the medical devices industry is a fucking train wreck waiting to happen" situation, and especially so they are ill prepared to handle it at scale. Audits are cursory and almost as a rule non-technical. I suppose it'll take a Toyota-level incident to bring change about.
I doubt that awareness will make any different, even when people are told about the issues with using facebook / instagram they keep on using it.

People won't change until they get a serious wakeup call, but even then they will mostly not do anything.
People are not qualified to judge. If they are suffering they should see a doctor, who is qualified to determine if they have a treatable condition.

I don't mean to suggest people abusing them isn't something to address. I just don't think the answer is to make it difficult or inconvenient for people who don't have that issue.

I suppose in the same way I think having to pick up Sudafed from the pharmacy these days is silly.

I'm not a libertarian by any stretch but for me this is a sort of sacrificing freedom for security issue. Assumption of guilt and pre-crime is bad and I don't see any reason why people should be forced to suffer needlessly after a medical procedure, even if it's only temporary, and even if someone else found the pain tolerable.

But I think I've beat this horse to death. ;-)
