App vs. website: Which best protects your privacy?
Families are typically out of their depth in these situations and completely dependent on medical staff to guide them in decisions regarding their loved one. Medical staff may confront the family with the question of organ donation before they have been able to internalize the decision to withdrawl life support. Without time to internalize the decision to withdraw life support families may feel that allowing organ donation may be bias medical staff and, even subconsciously, tip the scales.

Families may be uncomfortable with yielding control of their loved ones body to the medical establishment. The question of organ donation is presented as a binary choice to families (all or nothing) and requires a significant degree of trust in the medical community. They may worry that they are unwittingly consenting to donations of germ cells; that part of their loved one may end up in a student lab or that organ donation may delay a funeral.

Families may worry that donation will incur additional costs or that someone will profit from the deceased organs (see Henrietta Lacks and HeLa).

Also making an opt-in decision in any complex situation that requires unanimous consent of what is essentially a committee is typically going to result in no-action.

This is Django's CSRF module, and it only requires the referer when operating behind HTTPS.

The requirement is there to close off edge cases where an attacker MITMs the initial non-HTTPS request in order to set up compromise of CSRF for future HTTPS requests. HSTS by itself can't solve that. If and when browser support for the Origin header gets more widespread, it'll be possible to secure this without checking Referer. But for now, that's not an option.

What a badly edited article. If this is the counterpoint to the hype there's no wonder the hype train is currently slingshotting around Neptune.

Still, the points they're trying to make are fair, especially this bit:

>> Out in the real world, people want better service, not worse service; more human and less robotic exchanges with services, not more robotic "post-human" exchanges.

And that's the risk to AI's future in a nutshell: artificial stupidity has the potential to make our lives miserable like natural stupidity never has.

And that's no mistake. The danger in AI is not that it will become smarter than ourselves and take over the world (where Pinky and the Brain failed). The risk is that it will remain dumber than cabbages and still take over the world, as we fall over ourselves to automate everything humans do, even the things that don't get better with more automation, until we're all left without a job, standing in a long line to speak to an AI assistant to get our food stamps for the AI food dispenser.

Just an hour ago I was on the phone with a public service. The answering system's speech recognition worked just fine- it parsed my 11-digit Customer Reference Number despite my Greek accent. It did the job better than a human- those 11-digit numbers are not meant for humans anyway! Still, it kept asking me to press numbers to choose options- why didn't it ask me to speak those aloud? And at the end of the line, when all the options ran out, and only then, it let me know that the offices were closed for the holidays and I should call again tomorrow- Byyye!

Is that natural, or artificial, stupidity? One way or another, it's a picture of the future: imagine a 1000-page form in triplicate, stamping on a human face, forever.

Objectively, this depends a lot on where you live, and subjectively, on how you perceive your government and society. Regardless, you can opt-out.

You argument makes sense if a state made organ donation mandatory, but I don't think any country has such a law.
Iceland. Clean water and air, plus practically "free" electricity. Developed utilities and infrastructure. Small and mostly friendly population. The natural beauty there gets to me every time I visit. There is nothing like seeing a bright aurora, or driving through something seemingly other-worldy. And…it might possibly survive nuclear or climate catastrophe.
In the US in 2012 94% "strongly support" organ donation and 61% are actually donors[0], so at most we can expect to double the number of registered donors -- although depending on demographics of non donors that might mean a lot more actual donors since 2.5 million die annually but there are only 30,000 organ donations. The waitlist grows by a few thousand each year (was 117,000 in 2012), so doubling the number of organ donors would solve the problem in like a decade, assuming rates stay the same -- although I bet more people would get organ transplants if it was more readily available [1].

I don't know the number of people who don't want to donate their organs but even more strongly don't want to be on the "Selfish Assholes List" (which will inevitably be leaked (increasing distrust between citizens is a nice "cyberwarfare" play)), but I suspect it's non negligible. Maybe social pressure is for the greater good, but it is a tradeoff you should be honest about.

The real solution is artificial organs.

Getting a 404 on https://kontena.io/jobs/product-marketing-manager
I am neither European nor American and have been living in Copenhagen for about 3.5 years. Here are some observations.

The one big difference is that at the end of the month you would have nothing left to save. And if you plan to move out at a later point you would have neither money nor a useful professional network.

You would not be eligible for most of the good things we hear about socialist states - social housing, paid education.

If you are young and healthy you may not have much to get out of the free healthcare.

Be ready to pay incredibly high rents for private company housing or be homeless constantly, I have moved 9 times in 3.5 years and now I pay more than half my pay in rent+transport to live in a city 100 KMs away (unlimited by expensive).

Language and Credentials: Can be a short term and long term barrier, be ready to start from square one at least on your first job.

Pay: Usually unionised, software engineers earn about average salaries just like everyone else, even though they have diminishing career prospects. I was shocked to learn that CS was the least attractive majors, now I understand why.

Scale and opportunity: There is no critical mass at least in small countries like Denmark so I believe the best opportunities are still the ones in the US, especially if you want to specialise.

I am sure you have heard plenty of the positives of life in Europe and assume it must be the reason for your question.

That's a very plausible theory, but I don't think it's the problem at all. It's more that pretty much all QE so far has just gone into financial assets, and extremely little of it has flowed down into the real economy. Hence we see asset prices rising (i.e. share prices and house prices), but little growth or inflation.
Friedman won the Nobel. Krugman also won the Nobel even though he obviously has a completely different concept of reality. So the Nobel in economics carries about as much authority as a coin toss. Then there's the litany of left and right leaning sites that tally Krugman's track record. From either side it is, charitably speaking, no better than a coin toss.

Why does the NYT give this guy a venue? My uncle (and probably your uncle), at Christmas dinner, with several glasses of wine in him, has a dramatically better track record.

All I'm getting out of this is that if you graduate from Yale, you can set yourself up as a professional bone reader and make a nice career out of it.
Mandated choice is good when consent (implied or not) is more important than the outcome. Organ donations are different. I'd rather save lives first and ask questions later.

We need a reason to sound Certain. We should do away with the Fed, etc and systematise on the Oracle. That way when things go wrong we can still say it was the will of the Gods without needing to have an inquiry about it.

Though we would probably just have one about who offended the gods.
Well said. One thing to point though, NLP leans towards the understanding of the semantic meaning of a sentence, while the article you referred here talks about speech recognition, which focuses on primarily audio to text.

Comparing to speech recognition, NLP currently doesn't enjoy the same level of success by adapting DL technique, AFAIK. By success, I mean parity with human level performance. Current techniques are far from understanding reasonably complex commands/requirement expressed in everyday language and react to it correspondingly.

IMHO, this is as hard as solving the AGI problem itself. Having a chatbot that people can talk to without realizing it is AI or not, is practically indistinguishable from mastering true intelligence, as is defined by Turing Test.

... its eye-popping cost of living.

In a supermarket, t-bone steaks are $60-80/kg, free range chicken is $20-25/kg, organic chicken is from $30/kg, etc. The quality of food is outstanding though.

The same goes for eating out - $40 for a simple lunch in a non-fancy place without wine/beer is fairly normal. A good bowl of ramen (which you still need to find first) is from $20, more close to $25-30 with all the trimmings. There is McDonald's, from about $20 per meal.

The weather is very much secondary to this. Just 2c.

You would not go writing entire apps with it anyway, just a few inner loops or so.

I'd still use assembly-looking C with extensions and intrinsics for that, though.

I think you're misunderstanding the attack scenario here:

> Anyway, if the browser is connecting via port 80, the MITM can just use a transparent http->https proxy to rewrite the referrer, and forward the request to the https server, so you've already lost.

That wouldn't actually work since the user's active session cookie has the "Secure" flag set (i.e. isn't sent over HTTP). Sure if the user logged-in again on the HTTP page you could exploit this with a transparent proxy but there's very little outside of implementing HPKP that BitBucket could do to prevent that attack.
