Agreed with the general thrust of the article, but the oft cited stat that Facebook's algorithm beats a person's mother is misleading. The test was very narrowly defined and in any case it does not reveal how often false positives happen when you are matching more than one person, which anecdotally in my experience happens way more often than the stats suggest.

Cross-culturally? Would the similar results be obtained in Ireland, Poland, Russia? Perhaps my generalizations are somehow better match to reality?

You're probably unaware, but some regions has tradition of alcohol consumption deep in their culture and even national identity and nearly everyone consumes alcohol to various degrees.
1) Taxes-as-transfer-payments rarely work like we intend. These are not lossless transforms, the rule-sets are complex and somebody has to run it. Actual efficiency estimates are very hard to come by. This being said, actual transfer programs in the US seem quite efficient.

2) Americans at least have been described as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires." The odd entertainment value of gawking at rich people as celebrities is really a thing.

3) There is an eternal struggle between the Coase Theorem and Pigou taxation.

4) The people who self-select for wealth may not consume as much as people who do not self-select for wealth. I heard the quote on the show "Vikings", but I imagine it is not original with them - "power is only given to those who will lower themselves to pick it up."

Sadly "post-truth" rhetoric misses the point entirely and manages to endorse ignorance of reality.

When was society ever persuaded by "facts" alone? It's more than intellectual cowardice and naivety - it's lazy thinking.

You still need to convince people that certain facts presented are of such significance as to supersede preconceived notions, prejudices or personal opinions.

Throwing a temper-tantrum and feigning shock when people don't agree with you is like speaking louder at someone who doesn't speak your language. Try instead to learn how to communicate effectively and persuasively.

From Judge Cote's Opinion & Order, U.S. v. Apple, Inc., et al.

https://www.justice.gov/atr/case-document/opinion-order

One of the strategies that they [the publishers] employed was the
elimination of the existing discount on wholesale prices of
e-books. This meant that the wholesale price for e-books would
equal the wholesale price for physical books, and as a result,
the wholesale price that Amazon paid for an e-book would be set
at several dollars above Amazon’s $9.99 price point. This
tactic, however, failed to convince Amazon to change its pricing
policies and it continued to sell many NYT Bestsellers as loss
leaders at $9.99.

The numbers are nothing like this, but I had a really similar experience to the author when doing Umbrella JS. With exceptions, but I've tried to keep every function down to few lines of code by doing heavy code reuse:

// src/addclass/addclass.js
// Add class(es) to the matched nodes
u.prototype.addClass = function () {
return this.eacharg(arguments, function (el, name) {
el.classList.add(name);
});
};

While they don't do exactly the same (Umbrella JS is more flexible but jQuery supports IE9), compare that to jQuery's addClass():

addClass: function( value ) {
var classes, elem, cur, curValue, clazz, j, finalValue,
i = 0;

if ( jQuery.isFunction( value ) ) {
return this.each( function( j ) {
jQuery( this ).addClass( value.call( this, j, getClass( this ) ) );
} );
}

if ( typeof value === "string" && value ) {
classes = value.match( rnothtmlwhite ) || [];

while ( ( elem = this[ i++ ] ) ) {
curValue = getClass( elem );
cur = elem.nodeType === 1 && ( " " + stripAndCollapse( curValue ) + " " );

if ( cur ) {
j = 0;
while ( ( clazz = classes[ j++ ] ) ) {
if ( cur.indexOf( " " + clazz + " " ) < 0 ) {
cur += clazz + " ";
}
}

// Only assign if different to avoid unneeded rendering.
finalValue = stripAndCollapse( cur );
if ( curValue !== finalValue ) {
elem.setAttribute( "class", finalValue );
}
}
}
}

return this;
},

This is incredibly sad news. I've been a regular reader of IMDb message boards for over 15 years now. It's the last actual forum that I still visit.

There's so much valuable information stored on those boards, it's a tragedy to see it get deleted. Sure the most popular movie threads might be filled with toxic flamewars, but the long tail of more obscure movies has reasonable discussion and human recommendations of other similar movies. It's precisely this why I'm extra sad about this whole situation. It's not difficult to find a community to talk about the next Star Wars, but there aren't really any places where discussion (in English) about 20 years old Dutch movies happens.
I am hardly rich, but I qualify for TSA Pre. I can buy a toll tag to use on toll roads. It is all moving downmarket.

It is not the same as being rich enough for general aviation transportation, but if I wanted to get a pilot's license, I could do that too.

As has now been demonstrated fully in the US, rich people hardly control politics. They do support one "team" or the other, but I would not mistake that for control.

My impression is that these agencies don't recommend non-drinkers start drinking because of the risks, not because they believe that there is no benefit.
I've got a strong impression that Go is taking a similar spot in programming culture over time as Java has in the past of being an enterprise-friendly language with strong standards built-in.
Which has been focused generally on the social sciences. There's also a difference between questioning the studies and questioning the data.

We can't be skeptical of everything. We can't start from square one on everything. Otherwise we have nothing to build on.

I try to be skeptical and value critical thinking, but pragmatically there need to be limits where we put some trust in at least a small subset of people. This trend to question absolutely everything smacks of attempts to undermine and destabilize destructively.

The problem isn't computing power, it's algorithm accuracy. If there are thousands of people who are a close-enough match to your face, then when they see your face in a random crowd at a train station, they don't know which of those people you are.

To fix this they'd probably need other heuristics, which for all I know they're already using. An easy one would be to narrow it down by location, though sometimes that'd be wrong. A more sophisticated method would be to build a model of human movement, keep track of locations where they have high confidence it's you (e.g. in pics of you in small groups with your friends) and combine these into an estimate of the probability of each candidate match being at the train station.
You see, this is the problem with automated DMCA stuff. If enough people don't like your stuff, they just brigade report you until youtube or $company gets rid of you. The second they bought youtube I knew eventually their evil would infiltrate it, unfortunately though no competitor has done a good job replacing them.

My favorite comment on youtube comes from one of the founders, Jawed Karim, back when google was trying to merge all accounts and force you to use real names in google+ and then to tie google+ to youtube: "why the fuck do i need a google+ account to comment"

I whish people wouldn't deride those of us critical of google for being essentially NSA's best friend and reminding people they basically started by the CIA's venture capital firm In-Q-Tel. Please attempt to refrain from accusing those of us who do "paranoid conspiracy theorists" because I feel like over time we are being proven correct and being vindicated, as much as I would like it to be otherwise.

I believe so.

At the moment I am working on next version of my blocknote.net editor - the editor for "Web writers" - people who create textual content of the Web.

Check http://sciter.com/new-blocknote-net-application-is-getting-i...

In particular first screenshot. It has so called block outline bar that shows structure of the HTML underneath WYSIWYG text.

IMO: For most of people WYSIWYG is still a preferable way of editing text. Markdown and especially HTML source code editing is far from being humanistic.
Kahneman in "Thinking Fast and Slo" has a section on when experts can trust their intuitions. For example, fire fighters can. Investment does not fit the criteria because the payout is inconsistent. You sometimes win although your decision was bad and sometimes you lose although your decision was sound. Your intuition gets fucked up by the weird outcomes.
Forgot to mention and now it's too late to edit: the most common way to do quick tests during development was to only build a few DLLs or .sys files and replace them on a running system. Then your team would have a set of branches that build every night.

>(and within tech, I've noticed PR, marketing, other non STEM to be where the 'connected' get promoted).

I think you hit on something important, this merit and skills based promotion is something unique to tech where there is a culture of meritocracy. That doesn't exist in many fields and in many fields people get where there are solely because of who their parents were rather than what their parents taught them, and that applies even in the United States and Canada
1- the differences between various types of ETOH is one major confounding variable. The benefits of red wine vs. moonshine, both in "moderate" amount, are likely to be widely different.

2- If you control for wealth, you also likely inject all the other variables associated with wealth, such as likely lower stress level, better health-care, etc., thus mainly demonstrating, again, that being poor is "not so good" for you.

3- Although not in the range of the study, the subjective element, as usual, is missing. How to quantify the temporary relief, the feeling of happiness, control or whatever, offered by drugs/alcohol, even in the face of long-term lack of benefit or even negative consequences? Would moments of happiness count in a life of misery? Could such moments postpone the onset of health issues?

4- I believe that the intent of a statistical study needs to be initially defined. I believe there needs to be a broad "idea" prior to formulating a hypothesis and churning numbers. If it is not stated, it becomes implicit and open the results to endless discussion, thereby, in effect, negating the scientific (i.e. quantitative) aspect.
According to the article you linked, research findings, including those on variability between sexes, are all over the map. This does not at all seem like a convincing explanation to me.

Uh, pretty high? Depending where you live, I suppose.

I frequently find myself in front of someone seemingly 'selfy-ing', and always feel slightly uncomfortable since it looks exactly as if they're taking an ordinary photograph of me.

I'd have only to be behind instead of in front of them in order to be in their 'selfie' (assuming that is what they're doing!) - and I'd have thought that would happen even more often than being in front, assuming some of them feel just a modicum of embarrassment at the ridiculousness of the activity.

Appleseed has also been under active development for 7+ years; so not that young, especially considering that physically-based renders really only started coming into full production use 3-4 years ago. There are still many visual effects studios using approximation-based setups today, so I'd say there's lots of room for "new renderers" to carve their niche.

okay but the channel was taken down for some reason - what is it? I guess we don't know. If they were spamming or abusing policy in some active way they certainly hid it well in the write-up. (Dangerously so - it would take half a sentence for any reader, even a YouTube employee writing anonymously, to call them out on it.)

There must be some "real" (actual) reason - and no one has even speculated as to what it is. The writeup (which you can see in the cached copy elsewhere in this thread, if the site is still down or unresponsive) makes it really clear that they haven't broken any policy and actively sought guidance on what their infraction might have been.
This is actually surprisingly interesting case. While I think most would agree that when software does purely "algorithmic processing" then the output would not be considered derivative work. But increasingly software suites include various templates and content libraries. When the output is then a composition of those templates and library content then I'd agree that there is an argument to be made that such output could be considered derivative work.

>Basic income is the only future, truck drivers will be all out of work by 2020 for example

This has become the refrain in the comment section for every article dealing with automation I've seen, of late. Some of the articles, I suspect, are being posted by basic income proponents.

Even accepting the premise that a basic income would be needed in the case of near-universal automation, there are plenty of us who are yet to be convinced that we're heading in that direction.
In most factories in China, humans work like if they where robots, one job might be to go with a part from one place to another place, witch could literally be replaced by a transport band. Some workers are extremely skilled and fast though, replacing them with robots would probably cost much more then their salary. It can be hard to see the economic sense in deploying robots when the robots does things five times slower, but when the robot works, you can do something else. Even if you can clean the dishes faster then a dishwasher, it does save you time! And once something has been automated, it's much easier to scale.

biddle fights censorship by allowing you to put your publications anywhere. There is no central repository, and since you are required to specify your publication point you just need to find file hosting. This means private publications are free (aside from your hosting expenses) if you publish on an internal network.
