Basically, yes. What is the counterargument?

Note also that there are plenty of tariffs on goods from rich countries to poor countries. For example, India's tax on vehicle imports means cars are manufactured in labour-intensive Indian 'sweatshops' instead of efficient, automated Japanese factories.
To be fair, that's just because the emission of microwave ovens is tuned to a resonance of water molecules. That said, I think that resonance is rather broad, so you could expect a fair amount of coupling at large power.

Also, microwaves can denature proteins; one symptom of massive microwave exposure is cataracts (from the proteins in the eye denaturing).

I really agree with this and encourage others to try a few trips without it.

About 4 years ago, I gave up primarily using GPS guidance because I missed using my brain and I enjoy learning about new areas (georgraphy and topology) and routes. The added bonus of learning this stuff is that it makes the return trip or any future journeys even more enjoyable and totally effortless.

Getting lost can be a great opportunity to interact with local person. Aside from getting directions, it's a chance to make a new friend and potentially find out about interesting activities or sites to see in the local area.

Google maps (and similar products) can honestly be a clunky and frustrating experience for walking or cycling directions in big cities, the acuracy provided by GPS just isn't available if the signal is weak or moving through underground thoroughfares, it's terrible. When arriving in a new and exciting city, there is nothing worse than shutting it out by spending time staring at a phone. Studying an area before arriving solves this problem and interacting with locals often has major benefits. Plus you look like less of a vulnerable tourist.

Another thing worth mentioning is edge cases, road works, detours etc can really screw the un-prepared. While travelling in semi-remote areas, I've seen Google maps do some really strange stuff, instructing me to turn around and go somewhere else etc, In this situation, one rarely will have network coverage to help out. So being prepared is an advantage.

Sure, we're lucky to have the luxury of being able to pull up a map of pretty much anywhere on a tiny computer, but like most things, GPS guidance can be abused.

Let's not fotget to use our brains, those things are awesome!

Because the visas are distributed by lottery, and the largest number of applications are filed by Isfosys-type spammers. People with >$130k jobs in SV are being denied due to the $70k body shops spamming the lottery. If the spam goes away, those non-spam applications become a more reliable proposition.
The article says the exact opposite.

> However, I think what we’ll actually see are large companies in tech hubs like the bay area, Seattle, Chicago, New York and others, start to absorb the largest swatches of the immigrant talent pool, while shorting smaller companies and public sector jobs from the same access to skilled workers.

I'm saying that, under the current system, large companies absorb the largest swatches of the immigrant talent pool. These large companies submit a huge number of visa applications for $60k and because of the lottery system, they get allocated on a pro-rata so many of their visas are approved.

Under the proposed system, visas from small companies would have a much large chance of getting approved.

"When we started the training process, many of us thought that the “fingerprint” feature described above would be the “silver bullet” that would crack the problem for us. We were surprised to note that this wasn’t the case at all — in fact, it was features based on the dispersion of parking locations that turned out to be one of the most powerful predictors of parking difficulty."

I assume dispersion of parking locations is the distance from parking location to destination? I would have liked to see more about what kinds of inputs they used and how they cleaned them up to account for the confounding factors they mention (public transit users, private parking.)

"Because the money for salaries is not generated out of thin air. It gets determined by the profit-margin provided by the market."

While this is true, it's also very much not my problem. If your company is offering X, and another company is offering 1.25X, then most of the good people are going to go to the other company first. And it would be quite dishonest of you to say that there's a "shortage" when it turns out you just don't want to pay as much as the competition for your talent.
But how do you define location of the company if it have offices on other countries where the users are from? Would US assume that the rest of the world doesnt count as long as any representation of the company is physically located in the country?
For image classification, CNN's are still the way to go. But creating your own architecture and training your own novel model aren't necessary for most problems anymore it seems because of transfer learning.
Historically speaking, unions do not form until the workers are in a crunch/threatened with losing their jobs. During these times, things are good for most developers so they don't see the need to unionize.

Unions are also only effective because they are generally location-based. If you want to build a building in New York, you have to get a construction crew that can work in New York. That makes it very easy for a group to unionize New York workers - because their tools for bargaining (e.g. strikes) are easy to carry out when centralized. But on the web, this is much more difficult. If you unionized all U.S. developers, companies would simply outsource to other countries where the union doesn't exist. And while there are a few international unions, AFAIK none of them are very effective at organizing. In short, digital work is very easy to outsource and makes unions completely ineffectual.

Does the definition of the disorder exclude a mere conditioned response? I would have liked to see a control group that included people who were conditioned to have an aversive reaction to a particular sound.

Seeing as how "misophonia" is a named condition, I suspect that it is somehow different from conditioned responses. Can misophonia be deprogrammed?
I agree. On the other hand, advertisers need to make money to survive. This means there's a shift to native advertising in response, which means they're not just shitting in the water. They're shitting in everything else too, and trying to cover up the taste.

I don't know what the solution here is.

Sort of how Google pays for a quantum computer while building a new one? ;-) Today the Tableaus of the world grow the market, but I think they'll naturally consolidate under bigger umbrellas.

I bet Microsoft is watching Google's moves here closely. Just as MS grew from Excel to PowerBI and AzureML etc., Google's cloud initiative would naturally grow from Spreadsheets to something like the above. Single-service startups and even the Tableaus of the world may be temporary noise: the $xxB goal is instead getting more gravity than AWS and MS for cloud data workflows. The monopoly play is create good-enough analytics software, make it free on the dimensions smaller companies like Looker charge for, and undercut by instead bundling into overall Google/Azure/AWS deals. Commodify the market but get more of it.

We looked into BI a few years ago for where we should leverage our client/cloud GPU tech, and decided BI was an execution sprint to $100M and then bail. So, while I wish the best to my (smart!) colleagues at Looker, Periscope, MapD, etc., we decided to go another way. And... Worth mentioning, we're hiring! ;-) build@graphistry.

Just to give others an idea of what this is like: I work on the Protocol Buffers team at Google. Almost all software at Google depends on my team's code. If I have a pending change, I can test it against the whole codebase before submitting (this is a "global presubmit"). If something breaks in global presubmit, I can build and run any target in the codebase with my change in a single command, and this will take O(10 minutes) to build from scratch.

This would be like if I worked on the core Windows SDKs and I could routinely test my changes against everything from Microsoft Flight Simulator to the Bing server code before I submit.

That is just it, too. We have to continue to get better. And wouldn't we want to be the best we can be or if you were a company have the best engineers you could afford creating your software? Why is the interview process at google so tough? They only hire ~1% of the applicants because they want to be the best. Developers are more than just simple assets they can be worth more than the sum of their parts/ their teams and that is why a compentent developer will always be well employed. If you think you're lacking maybe look into learning how to sell yourself better; seek opportunities to develop more confidence in interpersonal settings, get your finances in order to maybe take a risk and turn that side hobby into the next big thing. In an age where anyone can do anything with an API and an idea why stick to thinking the only way to move up is at your next performance interview?
True. But corporates seems to survive with majority cooperation and occasional defection. Perhaps there does need to be some mechanism to 'tat' the 'tits' who defect.

My take is that the major obstacle workers face in negotiating conditions, pay, and work, is information asymmetry. Having everyone negotiate from an increased negotiating position should help the honest workers as well as the defectors.. and one would hope, the employers.
From the looks of it the founder and her roommate (a political science major who's since been written out of the company's history) developed a basic idea with no experience or demonstrable ability to turn it into a product, and received tens of millions to give it a shot.

It's not a new idea--ultrasound is already used to power pacemakers, and people have been playing with the concept for years. However, basic calculations shows that this is not likely to be practical as a consumer device. The founder has no physics or electrical engineering background, so there's no reason to think that she has some unique ability to overcome these hurdles. She's also hasn't demonstrated that she's developed any novel techniques to overcome the engineering challenges.

So why all the VC money? Why give VC money to a 20 something with no experience and no background with the hope that she'll hire enough engineers to figure it out? It just doesn't make sense to me.

I said the same thing about Theranos. They basically gave an inexperienced person who had no real domain knowledge millions of dollars to run a research lab. It looks very similar. Are VCs just desperate for a media friendly founder success story?

edit: Turns out there was already a patent covering something very similar filed in 2003 https://www.google.com/patents/US6798716?dq=ultrasound+power...
I've mainly used it for personal python projects and have found two ports fine. When it gets dicey is if I'm using an external monitor and backing up on a thumb drive, a third port would be nice for charging.

When I switch over to it for work (web dev / project management) I am going to get a hub like this, https://www.bourgedesign.com/archub/ so I can have external storage, a monitor, and anything else all gloriously connected through one cord.

Its an imprecise and catchall term, but not entirely untrue. A good example of "processed food" is refined grain (non-whole-wheat bread, etc); there, various outer layers and components of each grain are milled out, leaving just the tasty starchy inner bit. Different parts of the grain will have different vitamin content, if you take only one part you may well end up with a smaller set of vitamins overall. Its not the only reason that that's bad (whole wheat is generally recommended mostly on the basis of glycemic index), but its not necessarily trivial, either.

You can implement any logic function with a large enough lookup table. That doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea.

It wasn't done this way then and isn't done this way now not because it's impossible (or even that hard), it's because it usually doesn't make sense compared to the alternatives. It's slow and burns a comparatively large amount of resources.

That said, the project is interesting precisely for the reasons that it renders these lessons concrete, and apparently was fun to implement.

...now back to my Minecraft RISC-V....
I suggest we take the discussion of misphonia with a grain of salt.

It seems to be ignoring the very large cultural factor. As an American who has lived around Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, I've observed a great variation in what counts as acceptable table manners. East Asian culture in particular seems to accept a lot more chomping and smacking at the table, and this seems to be a general complaint among Westerners, not just a few individuals.

Secondly, as with anything else psychological, there will be individual variation. I feel there is too much eagerness to isolate some end of a continuum and label it as a syndrome. For example, I've always found notable the fact that some people can't comprehend why neighbors would be bothered by a loud stereo and others can't comprehend how anyone could not be bothered. Though there is a significant psychological variation there, I would not label either group as suffering from a syndrome.

As for dealing with irritating background sounds, in addition to white noise, I've found earplugs very helpful in some situations. The best ones I know of are Hearos Xtreme Protection.

Have you considered that maybe other people have thought about this and reached a different conclusion? I think calling it an NSA bug is pretty silly if you have a smartphone or laptop. How are those not bugs? All of these devices have microphones.

The Echo is less likely to be used as a bug than any other device because it's simple and single-purpose. When you are not using it, it is idle and will not use network throughput. That's trivially easy to monitor with my router. I can see how many gigabytes of data my TV downloads. If an Echo started consuming network throughput to upload audio when I was not using it, then that would be extremely suspicious and easy to notice. This ease of detection makes it a terrible covert surveillance device.

By comparison, I have little visibility into what my phone is streaming over its cellular connection, and devices like laptops, PCs, and Xboxes are so complicated that I cannot expect their network usage to be idle. It is unsurprising for these devices to download/upload potentially gigabytes of data while not in use, because some software has decided to patch in the background. These devices have local storage and could buffer audio and upload it during times of legitimate network activity. There is a lot of network activity in which covert surveillance could hide. This is not so with the Echo.

Additionally, your phone and laptop are far more juicy targets for the NSA or any attacker. These devices have your data! An attacker can break in and steal your documents or passwords or other data. And then they can also activate the microphone and listen to you! The Echo doesn't have any data on it, so it's not a juicy target. It's also stationary in one room and has far less ability to conduct effective surveillance on someone than the cell phone or laptop that they carry with them everywhere. Someone isn't going to take their Echo with them to the mosque or an important business meeting or whatever.

The Echo is far less complicated than smartphones and laptops (less stuff running on it), and so is less likely to have software defects that can be exploited remotely by attackers.
> Someone please tell me how can I buy your data and who exactly is google selling my personal data to ?

You can't. Google aren't selling your personal data to anyone. That's antithetical to their business model, which involves them having all the data.

They are selling your eyeballs to advertisers, and using your personal data to enable advertisers to very precisely target the demographics they think want to see their adverts. Not that this works.
They weren't. They were a generalization of the Hopfield networks. Boltzmann machines are a stochastic version of the Hopfield network. The training algorithm simply tries to minimize the KL divergence between the network activity and real data. So it was quite surprising when it turned out that the algorithm needed a "dream phase" as they call it. Francis Crick was inspired by this and proposed a theory of sleep.
'Diversity' is usually code for blacks and women. True diversity of thought and experiences are what bring the benefits, which means that a team of 100% males could be highly diverse.

In general I would agree that woman and blacks do have different experiences in life to most people in Silicon Valley. I fear that the push to improve 'diversity' will actually reduce true diversity. Companies in Silicon Valley usually hires people from the same universities who all have similar experiences. This crowds out the hiring from less famous universities, overseas students and other parties. There are no vocal activists to push that kind of diversity.

I still think we as a community should be open to all to participate. But we shouldn't have to lose what makes our community great in the process.
