I recall in a sci-fi Asimov book, it was related to the 2001 series, there was a skull cap that everyone wore in the 3000's that once placed on your head was permanent as its tendrils weaved its way into your scalp. They were like nano-scale. That idea, although completely sci-fi, seems pretty awesome as there would be more direct input if the entire surface area of your brain was a read-write interface. Also that is scary in terms of abuse.

My guess is the 'low hanging fruit' part of self driving AI is now done. The real part has to now follow.

And it will be a few decades before we see anything decent.
See, my understanding of trigger warnings is more to prepare and forewarn students of difficult discussions. Like- "we're going to be talking about rape and its psychological effects tomorrow." Not- "WARNING- this textbook uses the word 'violate' when discussing DBs."

The first example seems like an obvious common courtesy, the second seems pointless. I say pointless because some words are used in everyday life in normal ways that may be "triggering", but that's entirely different from an in-depth discussion of a sensitive topic that's triggering. But that's obviously just my opinion, I'm sure many disagree and that's why this is such a hot button issue right now.
This statement by the University is willfully ignorant. The University provides an officially sanctioned LGBTQ Safe Space (https://lgbtq.uchicago.edu/page/safe-space). Clearly the University isn't ensuring that people who think gay people are evil are also represented in those safe spaces. Furthermore, some ideas are clearly off limits. The University is not going to allow and promote legitimate arguments about whether the Holocaust was justified, or whether we should return to slavery and colonialism.

The point of contention is and always has been which spaces, why, and for what reasons. The University is clearly not ignorant of the nuances of this debate, and if it wanted to commit itself to rigorous debate, it could do so while respecting that there is a valid rigorous debate to be had about this policy.

Naval Ravikant on China money: This trickle could become a tsunami
What's not fun is the presently 'mapless' version of Pokemon GO we all have access to.

Sure I can see if I am near a Pokemon, but I can't actually go after most of them due to GPS jitter and the time it takes to walk/cross at lights in cities.

If I absolutely knew which direction to go there is a CHANCE I could get to a Pokemon before it despawns.

As things stand now I pretty much have to win a small lottery to capture one where I happen to be taking a scenic walk.

I read the wikipedia you linked, specifically about trigger warnings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trauma_trigger#Trigger_warning...

But your statement:

> They're to prevent panic attacks.

Seems to counter the arguments in the link:

> Richard J. McNally, a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, while writing for Pacific Standard,[13] discussed the merit of trigger warnings noting that "Trigger warnings are designed to help survivors avoid reminders of their trauma, thereby preventing emotional discomfort. Yet avoidance reinforces PTSD. Conversely, systematic exposure to triggers and the memories they provoke is the most effective means of overcoming the disorder" while citing several academic studies conducted on PTSD sufferers.
I'm not sure if you call it a "precaution" when you notice someone's pwnd you. Still good job noticing it after the fact.

Why do you think it would be hard on a college campus? You simply declare an office in a building to be a "safe space", or a space designated for certain groups and then promote, encourage the use of, and fill it with people that align with <idea>. Additionally, the safe space is placed in a building that is not funded by taxpayers, thus can be managed in basically whatever way the university sees fit (including denying access to the space).

Varying lengths of wiper blades will fit your car. Most cars have a front-left, front-right, and rear wiper blade, all of which are different sizes.
What took so long?

No seriously. With all the articles we read about predatory practices, and various TV segments, what takes so long for things to fall into place?

I wonder if there is a good way to distribute information about school quality. And that applies to not-for-profit schools as well.

Collect metrics, make sure you give them to the purchaser at decision time. Akin to labels on food. If the for-profit or non-profit has great placement and great training, good for them.
I think you'll start to see more and more of this style of including poignant (if somewhat exaggerated) gifs in informal posts. In most colleges in the US, this is the de-facto format for email communication from student to student. I've started to see the inclusion of reaction gifs and other memes creep into the corporate world (I've worked at 2 of the Big Four tech companies, and I can't remember a design review or informal presentation that didn't include funny gifs). I personally think it helps keep the reader engaged, although that might be because I'm so used to it now.

I run into this same problem on eBay. I search for my make and model, and tons of junk aftermarket parts show up that won't fit without thousands of dollars of fabrication. Sure that $150 turbo will fit my car, after I fabricate 50 parts. I now have to put "-fits" in my search query, but I'm sure that omits tons of legitimate results. But eBay makes a grip of money from all the listings of crap generic parts, so they have no incentive to stop it.

Also consider the statistics of being able to actually reach the full number of affected consumers in the class -- the fraudulent claims are probably representative of 10 times more that couldn't be reached but are deserving, and because the primary reason for the suit is punitive, not reward -- it makes little difference who gets the funds in the end.
Out of curiosity is this on a Mac?

I've recently joined a new company where everybody loves to complain about Skype/Lync stating similar things to this. But I have zero issues, and had near zero issues at my prior company where it was widely used and improved remote working considerably. The only difference I can see is in this new company everybody is using MacOS (and admittedly when I tried it on Mac it was terrible).

i think Watts considered himself more of a "spiritual entertainer", he would have laughed at the idea of being a "spiritual leader", being a rather cheeky rascal in the best meaning of the term. his audiobook lectures are great, id recommend buying them as a way to support his legacy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't universities been designating their entire campuses as "safe spaces"? Disinviting speakers and silencing students whose world views are insufficiently progressive? Or perhaps these issues are distinct, and I'm mistaken?
The line between desktop and web apps is becoming more and more blurred these days, so this seems like an inconsequential argument.
This was posted in 2015, but now that fasttext (https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText), just released by Facebook and can scale to Instagram-sized datasets, can create word vectors better than word2vec which account for context (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1607.04606v1.pdf), this type of analysis will only improve in the future.
Personally I don't think the government has the right to bar anyone from getting any kind of education. Yes, some of these are a shame, but the student might still learn something. And there's also the issue of time and scheduling. Many older people don't have the time to go to a traditional college and taking a 1 year program at night for a "2 year associates degree" fits them better.

Even worse still, most of these tech type schools around where I am are "non-profit". Not sure what that means or whats the difference, but they are just as much as a shame. One is some "art institute". I knew a girl who's dad paid $30K for her to go there for a year. She graduated but only worked briefly afterwards, and then couldn't get employed again. There is another aviation institute near me (also non-profit). Again $30K for 1 year of schooling. Although most could get a job afterwards, they found out working at McDonald's was far better than crawling around in a 110 degree aircraft fuel tank checking for leaks for $15hr.

Law is also the sort of degree that is full of potentially triggering discussion. Law is also the sort of career in which you can't just opt out of the discussion.

There are plenty of wider discussions to be had about this whole thing. Ensuring that faculty are good teachers, which includes the empathy to broach difficult subjects with sensitivity and moderate debate. The provision of welfare services to students to assist them to make the most of their studies.

Listening to a minority whose refusal to engage and demand that others cave in to their views harms society - and in many instances harms the very people making the demands. Victims of sexual assaults need a justice system that is better at understanding issues of consent, victim blaming and the harm victim may be put through by a trial - and how to weigh that up against the right to confront your accuser. Ethnic minorities need a society better educated in history, understanding of cultural differences and similarities who continue to be more progressive and accepting than previous generations.
Oops. Beaten to the punch.

Why do you think Amazon is biased?
Is email not sufficient to communicate with family, work associates, etc.?
That's a nice solution if everything is more or less working properly. The problem is, "What do you do when they tell you you're wrong about everything?"

One of the links in the article was to an article by a law professor talking about the difficulty of teaching rape and sexual assault law. The point being made there was that the entire subject has become off-limits -- literally, a large number of her colleagues had simply elected not to teach it anymore.

If your complaint is that, today, students are demanding an abuse of the notion of trigger warnings and safe spaces to effectively prevent exposure to potentially upsetting discussions, and that we are harming the long-term development of students by doing so, then by definition, you believe the corrections you'd get would essentially take the form "bring back all the trigger warnings we had when you started this process".
Good point about values being better than rules. Values are also a much more inexpensive way to observe norms than rules, in addition to being more effective.
Multiplayer... yeah no. It isn't in my experience.

There is a type of player that grinds and min-maxes and generally does a bunch of stuff I DON'T CONSIDER FUN to win a zero-sum game. That's the only currently existing multi-player aspect, and it isn't why I started using Pokemon GO (I use it as an excuse, to my self, to get out and exercise).

There is absolutely zero other 'multi player' aspect to the game as it is officially built. Anything else is a happy co-incidence.

There isn't anything within the game to turn the crowd of players in the local downtown park from a bunch of strangers in to friends. We all just happen to share one singular interest.
There is a difference between safe spaces meant to coddle ignorant privileged white kids from having to hear ideas they've never heard before, and safe spaces as a refuge for marginalized students who need a break from racist, classist, bigoted, body shaming, heteronormative, colonial, hegemonic treatment from others on campus. There is a difference between privileged white kids demanding trigger warnings for topics that call out their privilege and a rape survivor needing a trigger warning so they don't have to watch a rape scene in an assigned movie and have a PTSD flashback and nightmares for 2 nights in a row.
In my experience, big companies tend to have algorithmic "puzzles" for interviews; smaller companies tend to test more your builder skills, actual engineering skills, the ones they'll need (although you find exceptions on both sides).

If you feel that you can build good software, and just suck at puzzles (I'm right there with you), then maybe you should consider targeting smaller companies. Not necessarily young startups, but not a big 4, for sure.

Also, statistically, in a job search, you will fail A LOT. You can totally poorly fail 70% of your interviews, and still be a perfectly great engineer, that's not a crazy rate. You won't find the job of your dreams if you try only once; I don't believe it's likely that you will find the perfect job for you even if you try 5 or 10 times. So don't let ONE failure take the best of you, and improve your odds by trying a lot more.
Holy crap, this is cool.
I can think of some cases where it might make sense depending on the specific details. For example if you already had tons of scripts that you wanted to wrap and one couldn't install things as root this could be the quickest path forward.

The nice thing about shell languages (like sh and to some extent bash) is they run everywhere with minimum dependancies. This makes them great for things like build environment configuration. Those scripts can easily get very complex and it's nice to have some built-in tools to help keep it under control.
Hard to regulate what everyone wants I suppose. There are many schools like this around me and I know more people that went to these schools, both young and old, than I do people that went to an actual college.

And yea, most of them are still out of work...but for what ever reason they don't seem to mind.

Real estate is a highly regulated industry. Americans prefer assurance and insurance and the high costs associated with them in exchange for 100% peace of mind (or someone to sue if things take an unexpected turn).

As such, real estate agents need to be highly informed and often rigorously certified. This has the dual effects of raising costs to offset their own, and it also shrinks the potential labor pool, which has the expected outcome of higher wages.
That's an interesting tidbit of Minitel lore that I did not know about until today, thanks!

But I'm afraid that even in the DC metro area, among French embassy personnel no less, few people knew about such a thing. We certainly didn't. Most French folks who missed the Minitel just ended up subscribing to one of the major online services of the time, namely CompuServe and Prodigy.

Besides, without the benefit of those giant billboards featuring topless young ladies[1] the Minitel never stood a chance in the US.

The word "master" was also under fire not too long ago. They replaced it with "head". I'm honestly surprised a certain political group haven't jumped at the opportunity to get "head" replaced due to being too phalic.

I think this really just speaks to a need for better email clients - or just better email client configurations.

A good email client for a business might filter all messages from other members of your company into a given folder, and then only notify for messages in that folder. Notifications for any other messages would just be blocked. Heck, don't even show them in the unread count until the user looks for them in particular.

Yes, most people go to universities for the credential in order to gain employment. However, the reason why that credential is valuable in obtaining employment is because it implies that the holder of the credential has developed certain skills as part of their education.

One of those skills is the ability to think critically about a variety of topics. My assumption is that University of Chicago believes that in order to develop those critical thinking skills, it is a REQUIREMENT to learn an environment with a free and open exchange of ideas.

Students that want the credential BUT they do not want to complete one of the requirements of that credential should reconsider whether the credential is right for them or perhaps find another university.

To use your grocery store/gallon of milk analogy, a more accurate version would be if I went to a grocery store and asked for a gallon of milk, but demanded that it be zero calories and made from tomatoes. The store owner would tell the customer that they can buy tomato juice or water, but there is nothing labeled as MILK which meets their requirements.
