I agree with all this, but generally speaking the kids who come from name-brand MBA programs are bright. They come in, they know enough, and they have excellent work ethics.

I don't put a lot of stock in the training the MBA provides, but I do think on the whole MBA grads tend to be better hires than non-MBA grads. For recent grads, all things being equal, I'd take the MBA-grad.

Is it that extra year or two of age? Possibly... Is it the personality type of someone driven to get an MBA in the first place? Possibly... Is it the training and networking and exposure to other like-minded individuals via group projects? Possibly...
I don't buy the whole "Raising taxes on the rich will cause general prices to go up and inflation". He provides no explanation for why that is true. Countries such as Denmark tax the rich heavily and do not have those effects.

Thanks for thinking along, FWIW I hope it may inspire other readers as well. I was aware of option #0 and #1. #0 made me give up -eventually, after retrying- since it requires root because Google Keep has no public API. This is also why I was puzzled #1 claimed it did work (it didn't).

0) Keep for Pebble requires root (root is area 51 for me)
1) WatchNote never worked for me (only sortof, via Evernote, very buggy)
2) Infinite Notes doesn't use Google Keep (offline is nice though since I regularly lose internet access in the grocery store).
3) PowerNoter doesn't use Google Keep (voice command is interesting, but my shopping list isn't saved in English)

Perhaps I should ditch Google Keep as requirement, but the missus is very accustomed to that and doesn't tolerate yet another piece of software for grocery shopping.

Hell no - you don't get to decide what I find useful. While I'm not very interested in pornogaphy I have a good few friends who are current or former sex workers, and their work is just as deserving of compensation and legal protection as any other kind of work that admits of performance for an interested audience. I'm far more offended by this proposition than by anything I've ever seen in porn.
You mean something as humorous as people making ambitious, vague claims without any citation of supportive evidence?

Either way, here's my offering to your noble cause:

lofty and ambitious, your claim,
but if to convince others, your aim,
a citation you must provide
to support your allegation,
else others will quickly deride
that your claim has no fact for
foundation.

or

Credible Hulk has arrived
his face full of vexation
with utmost confidence, he insists
if to convince others, your aim
for that grand of a claim
you provide at least one damn citation

Operating system threads have two big disadvantages. You also design the code differently, since one schedule is cooperative and the other is preemptive.

First, OS context switching is much more expensive in terms of overhead compared to lightweight contexts like fibers. A highly optimized user-controlled context-switching scheme can be barely more expensive than a function call. Context switching OS threads, even when highly optimized, is much more expensive than you might assume, microseconds compared to a few dozen clock cycles, which adds up if you need to switch contexts frequently. In many software systems, the computational cost of the OS context switch can be higher than the computational cost of the real work done during that time slice (i.e. >50% CPU overhead due to context switching) and you end up doing a lot of optimization work trying to avoid this situation, often by implementing something that looks suspiciously like user-space coroutines.

Second, and I would argue more importantly, the operating system provided thread schedule, through no fault of its own, is often pretty terrible for concurrent/distributed/parallel systems. The operating system simply lacks the runtime context to optimally determine (1) when to switch contexts and (2) the right thread to switch to. In practice, this leads to a lot more context switching, and wasteful context switching, with its high overhead than would ever occur if you designed your own schedule. The impact is not small at all, a poor schedule can seriously damage CPU cache locality.
BahnCard 50 is 255 € per year (second class), cheaper prices for students or if you are below 27 or over 60. I don't know if they send it abroad, but it shouldn't be limited to Germans (and you get a temporary one to print out yourself if you buy online).
Also Managers know better than you, and are generally better people, and more capable than you, because of some secret "management" skills.

I've seen engineers promoted to management, who suddenly drink the kool-aid that they're "better" than the engineers they worked beside a month ago. Now that they're managers, they know better.

The sheer infantilization of the rank and file by managers is appalling, and wide-spread. Such as hiring an expert in the field, and then ignoring everything they say.

Good organizations say "Look, I know that's the best way to solve the problem, but the customer doesn't have time or money for that, so we need something else".

Bad organizations say "You're just an engineer, and wouldn't understand the trade-offs inherent in customer interaction".
I'm not denying climate change you morons that downvoted me. I don't like flying either and if I could have actual data to solidify my decision that would be great!
Any life safety system should definitely not be designed to rely on GPS/Galileo/Glonass - they are RF systems that can be jammed by anyone with any interest in doing so.
You see this same thing happening at law schools as well.

If you look at the faculty of Harvard Law [1], many of the professors have not served in a professional capacity as lawyers.

In fact, many firms have to train their new associates in the actual practice of law because law school itself has become so detached from the reality of being a lawyer. [2]

Assuming, for example, commercial delivery drones were to use this, I can only imagine there would be some sort of notice of termination giving enough time to ground things.. Maybe that would put them out of service? If GPS 15m accuracy isn't enough, falling back won't help.

Here's hoping sanity prevails and there's no sudden cutoff leading to things falling from the sky.
It appears that most civilian receivers are going to use all of the various constellations at the same time.

Here's an article from 2014 talking about production chipsets that do GPS/Galileo/Glonass/BeiDou.

In the end, that's where it's true power would come from where you use the capabilities of the much higher level language to compile ideas to the lower level language.

ALso, this allows for far greater compile time data generation for static initialization. Even files can be loaded in to do away with runtime IO, building programs that are closer to self contained 'images' rather than a collection of files.
This is a bit off base.

For companies, they have data loss prevention policies in work-enabled devices, constraining work data to only be possible to download to work-approved (usually from their MDM provider) applications, not possible to export and able to be remote wiped from the device by the company at any point they chose.

For government, storing classified information in the cloud is already a major violation. Even data designated as FOUO requires special considerations (Although AWS GovCloud is a good solution for serving such needs). In a sense, your "private clouds" estimate is already the path that has been taken, as there are many frameworks and requirements that have been created by gov over the past few years in terms of storing certain types of information. Trying to force all cloud providers to abide by them seems like it would be a losing battle as well, and would not be taken lightly by many.
The word consciousness, as most people seem to use it, is not defined in a way that science can touch it. It only makes sense from a certain perspective, and that is not the perspective of science.

Asking "is some entity X conscious?" is sort of like asking "last December 6, what were the chances of there being a big earthquake in Indonesia the following day?" The only way to answer a "what are the chances?" type question is from the perspective of someone with limited knowledge. From the point of view of us, today, we don't have limited knowledge, we know the earthquake happened. So the question doesn't make sense.

Likewise with consciousness. You can't analyze it from a perspective other than that of the entity in question. It doesn't make sense.

There are plenty of other ways of defining consciousness that make it more accessible to science. But you might find it difficult to make sure it isn't inclusive of things that you don't consider conscious, like a self driving car or even your phone.
I don't think it has made us better humans, it has made us weaker humans in the biological and physical sense.

I don't need a powered toggle to roll down the windows in a car, but technology assumed I did, and it's little things like that, which make us weaker and lesser than our primitive counterparts.

The most primitive self sufficient savage is superior to the technological cube dweller.
> If any of the EU states go to war, then planes and other civilian things relying on Galileo would stop working?

That's the point of projects like these, working together and relying so much on each other that European countries waging war against each other simply stops making sense.
Om.next shows it's strength when you're working on a complex application 5k+ lines of code. A core abstractions of om.next (and graphQL) is to express data dependencies of your react classes in a query language (e.g. component X depends on data title, author, created, updated), then the logic around how to fetch data, refresh data, cache data or access cached data, update data, deduplicate data when it's needed in many places, optimistically update client-side data and wait for server-side data to synchronize is all disentangled from the logic on rendering complete data, missing data, data being loaded, reacting to user events, etc. In a smaller code base expressing these data dependencies would just seem tedious (writing graphQL or query expressions), but it pays up big time in larger applications.

> I'll play devils advocate here. Their solution is too complex and tries to fix a non-problem.

I'd say you are on the wrong side. All Arabs continue to write in Arabizi. I have lived in this region for years, as a non-native speaker. When I first arrived as a student for my first rodeo in 2006, I once wrote SMS in Arabic letters. That Egyptian kid later asked why I would do that. He was terrified it was a plant or a trap or something, that is how rare it was then.

However, I will give you a point. None that we are moving beyond basic SMS encodings and the limit of standard cell phones and on to Unicode and emoji-rich smart phones, WhatsApp and others have enabled a renaissance in Arabic writing amongst some.

But many continue to write to me in English characters. And re your point learning in one day: the reading is fun, the writing on a keyboard for a society where Arabic literacy (not English, mind you) is largely de-emphasized and many cannot read/write formal Arabic, the desire for Arabizi hides deficienies people would not rather admit.

Whether or not it is an appropriate thing for science to discuss is a separate issue from whether it has utility.

There are plenty of things of limited utility that scientists spend time on, and I'm fine with that.

On the other hand, I don't think this is a scientific question.
Perhaps if you valued the philosophy of considering lower intelligence as more than resources to be exploited, we would not have so many problems to solve in the first place.

To expand, there is value in nature and the existent ecosystems in ways that are not immediately apparent. The perspective of mankind subjugating nature, conquering our planet is in my mind the root cause of the disruptions creating the extinction event you allude to. Consider there is value in caring about these sort of questions.
With systems like these it would always be possible to selectively degrade availability/accuracy over defined country-sized areas, yea.
Except romaji isn't used to teach pronunciation, it's meant to help the student read while they are still getting familiar with kana; much like furigana for kanji.

Japanese characters have one pronunciation in all circumstances (excluding diacritical modifications). Respectively in romaji, consonants and vowels will always have the same pronunciation. Compare that to American English where accents have been removed and even native speakers can have trouble pronouncing new words.
I think this is not quite true. If an entity describes its own consciousness without any outside prompting, I think that's pretty good evidence that it actually is conscious. The odds of a non-conscious entity acting that way are minimal. This is why I'm pretty sure other people are conscious, for example. Of course, it doesn't work so well with animals....
You may appreciate my favorite Dijkstra quote:

[I]f we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.
The article was a little unclear. Originally Galileo was supposed to use the same frequency band as GPS which would prevent the US from jamming it without also affecting GPS.

Not just animals robots, humans will project emotions onto other humans. We see a photo of someone's face, or look at someone who isn't making any particular expression, and imagine an emotion based on transient artifacts captured at a single point in time.

While your points are certainly true, I'm not sure that state is characterized by shortage. Shortage occurs when price does not rise. When price does rise, demand wanes.

Hypothetically, if there was only one programmer in the world, the price would rise to the point where that programmer is no longer willing to change jobs with the offers being given. At that point, the additional demand goes away. Those businesses are no longer in the market for a programmer. It really doesn't matter if it takes time to retool, as far as shortages go, because the demand has met the supply. A shortage does not mean not being able to get what you want at a price you are willing to pay.

On the other hand, where I come from the government sets the price that doctors must charge. We really can run into the issue of doctor shortages. I can't go to my doctor and say, "I know you are completely booked and can't see me, but here is $100,000 above your regular rate to cancel those appointments and take care of me instead". The doctor is required, by law, to reject my offer.

If price was able to rise, the doctor would be able to take my offer, allowing me to get what I want as indicated by price, and those who aren't willing to pay $100K more to have the doctor look at their common cold exit the market. Equilibrium is reached. That scenario certainly comes with its own set of issues – and why our government defines the price to not allow market-based preferential treatment – the issue would not be that of a shortage.
>Or did the privatised rail system allow people to more reasonably travel long distances for work, allowing people to move further out, allowing cities to grow and require more workers and thus raising house prices further out with increased demand?

No. The increase in house prices was both staggering and coincidental with investors buying up properties an leaving them empty.

>don't think it's as simple as "the franchises are doing exactly what British Rail would've done

British Rail was neglected and lacking investment. This is part of the privatization handbook - intentionally underfund and then use that as a pretext for pushing privatization.

I think if it was well funded we'd have a cheaper, better system.
Hmm. I had read in a book that volitional attentional binding (being able to shift your attention to different parts of your experience was closely related to what we call consciousness/experience, and that a lot of animals exhibit this behavior. So, most likely, animals are in fact conscious. Sadly I don't have any sources of research done in this area...

I've written a decent amount of Clojurescript, and painless debugging is definitely what was missing for me. The callstacks are pretty useless internals, figwheel being outside the browser and away from the visual breakpoints and such are kinda hard to deal with compared to JS.

Not that JS doesn't have debugging pains either, but really the debugging story is the worst part of clojurescript.

Why Never Again?
You know, every time you start an argument with some bald assertion like 'pornography is not intellectual property' you should be willing to answer the question 'why not?' before trying to develop the rest of your argument. I reject your premise, and since you're proposing it without any supporting arguments I'm not going to give any arguments either. It's on you as the person proposing to change things to explain why we should accept your claim, and when you give arguments to support it then I'll happily engage with those and tell you why I disagree.

Windows has support for full-disk encryption using a passphrase or physical key. It also supports Secure Boot.

I don't see what that has to do with multi-user systems though. If your argument is that we could have the Secure Boot system ask for the passphrase and tie the entire box to a single user... then you're missing out on most of the current point of multi-user systems.

The first is that many companies actually do have multiple people using the same machines. Not at the same time, but at different times. This needs auditing - i.e. a multi-user system.

The second is, again, auditing - when a system administrator runs a command on a system remotely, they do it as their own user.

The third is security (combined with auditing) - various service processes get run in different user contexts so that they can't mess with the user's stuff unless they're allowed to, and they have their own user ID that anything they do happens under.

Operating systems aren't built for home users, they're built for companies, in almost all cases, and stripping out the multi-user framework would change the OS to be unrecognisable. Just stripping out the authentication part doesn't buy you much complexity reduction either.
This seems incredibly short-sighted to me. Many of those things we are 'thinking' about that you listed above are issues that humans created, partly because of our lack of respect and knowledge of the other living things on our planet. Perhaps trying to understand them should be something we spend more time on and not less.
