Art is about perception not creation. If autonomously created art produces the same perception and evocative response, it sufficiently passes that test.

An autonomous agent doesn't need to understand the underlying emotion, it just needs to mimic it.

A autonomous car doesn't know why it shouldn't hit a child that jumps into its path, or why it is making any decisions at all despite those being some of the most important and fundamental to humans on earth. It just needs to reproduce the actions of a human that does understand those things.

Yes, I believe that artificial creativity will produce art will be indistinguishable from that made by humans.
I'm a... victim, I guess... of this mindset. I didn't really start getting even a half decent mathematics or science education until college. If I didn't pick up programming as a hobby, IDK where I would be right now. Probably nowhere good, financially and perhaps otherwise. (Mind you, AFAICT private schools aren't typically much better, and there's less accountability and more personal cost to boot.)

I'm very conscious of what you're saying here and mostly agree with the negative effect of affluent people opting out of the education system. So I'll commit myself to improving the systems that my own kids would be in if I didn't have the time and money for alternatives. But I'm still unsure whether I'll actually send my own children to public schools. The cost to them will be real.
In the retail world, there's now far, far less corruption than there used to be. When buyers from Home Depot came to visit my employer, they wouldn't even accept a soda because there was a strict, zero tolerance, no receiving anything from a manufacturer policy.

This was driven initially by Walmart, which has a similar policy, because executives at Walmart realized that if manufacturers were bribing their buyers, the cost of those kickbacks was being built back into the price of the product. By loudly (and actually) having and enforcing a "no taking anything" policy, they could then demand further price reductions. This is now widespread.

A broker offering kickbacks or discounts is recouping the cost somewhere. If the product is the same but they're cheaper by the broker, then it's likely that the product isn't the same in fact--perhaps there's some special rider in the contract, or maybe the broker just knows how to slow-walk or otherwise chip away at claims. The insurance industry is famous for some parties failing to provide the future service you're purchasing on technicalities or just bureaucratic abuse.

In a market where expert assistance is needed, and end users can't fully protect themselves with informed purchasing, requiring parties offering the same service to charge the same price is a way of forcing honest dealing. That's the idea, anyway.
There are many friends I've seen do exactly that, but the efforts only seem to be particularly effective when localized. The educational system can be quite slow to change, likely requiring a more significant investment of energy to "fix society" than to direct that energy towards their own children.

Many school teachers and administrators get into the field specifically with the ambition to better the system. They spend their full-time attention on these issues, yet truly are at the mercy of government policies.

Do I agree that this is the appropriate way to go? No more than I agree with private schools (which I don't), but we're not all political activists, and even if we were, everyone's got their own issue and their own viewpoints. Where the author opts out of the system, another opts in and digs in; such is a fairly concept in free society.

Average is the break-even point.

If you are average: Given that most people are average (because that's what average means), you aren't an outlier, so you wouldn't expect a faster or slower promotion timeline in a meritocratic system than in a seniority based system. After all, the majority of people more senior than you at any company are likely to be average too (because that's what average means), unless the company has an unusual distribution of employee skill across the tenure spectrum. In a meritocratic system, you are still average, and you would still have an average promotion timeline. If you are average, it doesn't much matter what system you have.

If you are above average: Your talent will be recognized, and you will be promoted faster than most of your peers in a meritocratic system. In a seniority-based system, people who are not as good as you will be promoted before you because they have worked at the company longer. This hurts you, and it hurts the company, because both could do better under a meritocracy. You should prefer a meritocratic system over a seniority-based system.

If you are below average: In a meritocratic system, you would be promoted as a last resort, when better people are not available. In a seniority-based system, you will be promoted just because you stuck around, even if you suck. You should prefer a seniority-based system over a meritocratic system.

If you are a worker at any level, and you improve your job skills and your value to the company, that will increase your promotion prospects in a meritocratic system, but not change them in any way in a seniority-based system. So why would anyone try to improve or work hard in a seniority-based system?
You are of course completely correct. But given one hit of acid vs one hit of a cannabis brownie, people are more weary of the hit of acid and tend to subdivide it into pieces whereas novices typically trust cannabis brownies to be weak or they eat multiple of them and receive an overwhelming dose more often than not. Or maybe not. Your thoughts?
Then every society is totalitarian. The fact is that society already tells you how to raise your children and will remove them from you if need be.
Why do you think this is true?

Regulation seems to be a Ω(n) process, where n is the number of people who have some method of influencing the project, i.e. as a member of a constituency or owner of some bridging piece of land. The rules part of regulation is probably the fastest, with civil engineering law firms probably having that aspect mastered.
op here.. all too true!

To mitigate that, at least in Melbournes East there is a growing group of homeschoolers who get together for events - organised on facebook sites such as HEN aka http://home-ed.vic.edu.au [membership] and "Melbourne Homeschool Families With Teens" etc.
There is nothing preventing kids from developing socially if they are home schooled. They just need to get out of their house and socialise with other kids, which they will do on their own if people let them...

The socialising you get from the school is a bit artificial these days anyway. For example, the class leader is often who get the top marks in the exams. Good luck with that when you get out of school...

I don't have a horse in this race (no kids), but this call to action bothered me. Lots of run-on sentences; incorrect capitalisation; 'Math' instead of 'maths', 'lite' instead of 'light'[1]; weird double- and triple-spacing; 'Id' instead of 'I'd' grammatical errors; overuse of dashes[2]; using both -ise and -ize endings on the same word (realise); so on and so forth.

On the one hand, I realise that I'm being a bit pedantic, but on the other hand, there were a lot of these errors, in a call to action to allow the author to teach people. Clarity of expression is one thing that is taught in high school, and it's important. I'd want to proofread my article if I was trying to put forward that my ability to teach was decent. The occasional error should be overlooked, but this was pretty sloppy.

If I saw these errors in someone wanting to teach more practical skills rather than abstract ones, I guess they wouldn't stand out so much.

op here .. no, in many case they have really tried to fix the system, work around it etc, before they have opted out.

Its never the first option to take children out of school.
"When for children it is also the time in which they develop socially."

I've seen this argument many times, but it has never seemed persuasive.

Where else in life are you ever going to encounter an environment where all the other people are within 12 months of your age, except for the authority figure up front? Other than maybe military bootcamp, never. Even prison has a range of ages and backgrounds represented.

The social skills learned in such an artificial environment are highly unlikely to transfer to the real world.
Just one point - "maths" is in fact the correct (local) term in Commonwealth countries - sort of like how they refer to "sport" instead of "sports".

> The creation of a Muslim registry is obviously just the first step. It's a PR campaign to spread the idea that Muslims are a special group that can be discriminated against.

If this happens, I will seriously consider becoming Muslim, and urging other irreligious people I know to consider doing the same, to dilute the database. I'd remain an atheist, but I'd be a Muslim atheist instead of a Christian atheist. I'd buy a Quran and read it once, then put it on the shelf and not believe it, replacing the Bible that is currently on my shelf not being believed. For local charity giving, I'd direct that to a local mosque instead of a local church.

Only 0.9% of people in the United States are Muslim. Atheists and agnostics make up about 7%, so if a large fraction of atheists and agnostics registered as Muslims, it would greatly dilute the database. There are also a substantial number who believe in some sort of spirituality but not in traditional gods, and quite a few people who believe in gods but as a personal thing and not as part of an organized religion. All of these together make up about 20% of the population. If a lot of those people would register as Muslims, it would really really dilute the database.

I'll be your whipping boy here if I may, guys, but can we please refrain from downvoting based purely on disagreement for this one? I'd really appreciate reading a discussion on this subject from both sides and all between. This is difficult to do otherwise.
I honestly don't know how to feel on this. At some level personal experimentation is a wonderful thing that everyone should consider. I am personally terrible at it, but I feel that is because I wasn't taught to be rigorous; which is ultimately what is needed.

However, I am also convinced that schools serve two real purposes for kids. 1) To push them further than parents think they should be pushed, and 2) to socialize them. (Which, really, is just part of 1.)

Ignoring all of the advantages that schools have -- mainly, more experience than makes sense -- even "bad" teachers are almost guaranteed to be better than a given parent. Because of their experience. They will have seen more kids than I can comprehend.

But back to my points. Even if I was somehow a better informational teacher than the ones at the school, I can not be a better teacher than their peers. Building healthy peer relationships is tough. As a parent, you think "nobody that will hurt my kid." However, I am not sure that is right. What we really want is "nobody that will unfairly hurt my kid." And even then, we want peers for our kids that will grow with them. So, really, it is "nobody that will convince my kids to repeatedly hurt others."

And this gets to the crux. Building a peer relationship for kids when you deprive them of diverse peers is nigh impossible. And if you have a reasonable set of peers, you are really just in a private school; not a home school.

Privates schools are not bad. At least, not something I want to vilify. However, I want my family to know and be a part of the community. Not a separate bubble within it. Weighing that against them having a "quality" education is tough.
There's a wide, wide range between (e.g.) beating your children and refusing to hand them over for state indoctrination. Pretending otherwise isn't a reasonable argument.
One important thing is a bit mischaracterized, Trump didn't claim he'd deport 11 million legal immigrants, he claimed he'd deport illegal immigrants. Even Mexico deports illegal immigrants to its country. It's not something most countries consider controversial.

As far as I know he didn't say he'd turn a blind eye to police violence. What he said was essentially he wanted less antagonism toward police.

I think playing loose with words like this and confounding things kind of elicits skepticism.
I think there's value in the general idea of stuffing databases (like NSEERS or the no-fly list) to the point where they collapse under their own weight.

Interacting with other adults is so different from the social interactions you deal with in school that I'm not sure whether school is a net benefit or detriment to developing social skills.

When I think back, I don't think school really prepares you socially for anything other than life in an institution. If you plan on doing prison time that might be useful. But after high school I've never been in any kind of situation remotely like that (other than maybe my first retail job).
Your bank has information about your accounts. So it should be ok to make it public, right?
60 Minutes interview, September 2015:

Pelley: "Eleven, 12 million illegal immigrants --"

Trump: "Or whatever the number is."

Pelley: "Still in the country, what do you do?"

Trump: "If they've done well, they're going out and they're coming back in legally. Because you said it--"

Pelley: "You're rounding them all up?"

Trump: "We're rounding 'em up in a very humane way, in a very nice way. And they're going to be happy because they want to be legalized. And, by the way, I know it doesn't sound nice. But not everything is nice."
Not just the patient... I bet everyone in the room knew who was given the control and who wasn't.
It's the load on the back of your head (literally). If you are in a structured, predictable, organized environment with minimal interruptions - your performance is very high

Do note: the perverse case scenario for this is working at Foxconn

If at the back of your head you are processing what failure may mean, worrying about who will be upset, worrying about politics, etc. then emotional and cognitive load and stress in particular drains you out.
I think many homeschoolers know that students "develop socially" in the public schools, but have observed also that the social structures and behaviors seen there (gangs, bullies, cliques, general teenage crappiness) are utterly dysfunctional and quite unlike the social behaviors that would be acceptable in the adult world.

There's a case to be made for homeschooling as a better way to "socialize" kids than public schooling.

op, here - yes, you could argue Im not well educated for writing such articles - I was educated in schools not homeschooled :)

Im happy to correct spelling grammar errors - I by no means represent myself as a professional author.

Be aware that 'Math' or 'Maths' can be correct according to where you are [ Ive heard Maths used in Australia, Math used in US, ymmv ]

ps. I really _am_ trying to teach practical skills - for example my videos on multiplication - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAucwKdByrU&t=385s
Now you may say they aren't very good .. but thats okay if they help even one student learn math, or open to the idea it might be interesting or understandable by them.

Putting extra sugar in hot chocolate. That one is actually new to me.
Firstly, I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for sticking around and taking part in the conversation. While my own thoughts lie mostly with the other respondents in this thread, it's critical that we have channels somewhere in-between "press release" and "Wikileaks" for getting some insight into the workings of companies like Uber.

Having said all that, it's still creepy. And the examples you gave (Google/Gmail, Microsoft/Cortana) are almost certainly also instances where data collected is being systematically used in what many would consider creepy ways.
Cool. Filters for RAM, weight, battery life and other specifications are a must nowadays. Would definitely love something similar for mobile phones as well.
In many countries around the world phone companies are highly regulated entities.
I found socializing in institutional school settings is mostly with other students of the same age, with less consideration for tact.

My socialization as a (partly) home-schooled student involved interaction with a much wider band of ages, adults included. In my opinion, transferring to a private Catholic school stunted my social development more than anything - and brought out a crass personality streak that remains to this day.

This is a sample size of one, of course.

When HAProxy reloads, it has to re-bind the sockets that it was listening on. Due to a bug in how Linux implements listen port sharing (SO_REUSEPORT), new incoming connections can get dropped for a very brief (~1ms) period while HAProxy reloads. The Github article and the linked Yelp article both go into detail on this.

The tldr is that in Linux right now there is no way to gracefully drain connections from a listening socket. Many programs work around this by passing the socket file descriptor from the old process to the new process, which is, for example, how nginx works.
When you say "ingress", are you talking about the contrib nginx ingress controller?
In my experience, most of the people who home-school their kids are young-earth creationists or some other kind of nutters who don't want their kids exposed to science as taught by mainstream schools.
Why not just bring back the "while using only" if only to back up your claim that there is nothing nefarious going on.

"Conclusion
So which interface is best for automotive communications? They all are—but each for its own purpose. The CAN bus reigns supreme for low-speed control applications where cost is a driving factor. When bandwidth requirements move up, Ethernet can step in as an enhanced interface to support moderate bandwidth requirements. When the
highest bandwidth and lowest-latency link are required, such as for a surround-view camera system providing input to an autonomous vehicle pilot, then FPD-Link is ready to meet the challenge."

I think there are many different experiences of homeschooling and I think for some they do develop strong peer groups without it becoming just a private school. One of the main arguments for home schooling is that done properly schooling will take less long as you can focus on just one or two kids and thus there is time left over for extracurricular. On the other hand as somebody who was home schooled I wouldn't do it with any kids I have. I think what made it bad was that both my parents are introverts.

The amount I've grown socially in the last couple of years of college really makes me annoyed at myself for missed time.
