6) We can still act but you don't want to give the power to do it.

7) You gave the power, but to the wrong people.

8) The people in power are going to survive but we aren't.
You are looking at this the wrong way.

No job require all human skills. Most jobs requires only subsets of human skills.
The idea that people can perpetuate their own disability and then force society to provide special adaptions for them is definitely a liberal idea.

The libertarian response would be that you have the right to be how you are, but the ADA should be torn down.

How children should be treated is a tricky subject since it is a balance between parent's rights to raise their children and society's interests and I think there is a lot of conflict that falls into this bucket.

As technology develops to the point that being deaf is a choice, I am much more sympathetic to the libertarian view that if you choose to remain deaf you should not be entitled to special support.
The weird thing though, is they did have their way, and that didn't happen.

I mean yeah it kinda is, but you really think google needs advertising for its brand??

I think Google is doing some of the most impactful security work as a company I have ever seen. Between GOOG and MICROSOFT (within past few years) they have been instrumental in moving the bar and the industry. They both catch flack for the privacy issues (which is a leg of the InfoSec triad) but I think most people should be grateful for the work they do.
>> It is looking like the 28nm generation will be a mainstay node, with continued investments by the major pure play fabs to keep bringing costs lower.

Is that because it's essentially the last planar node? IIRC 20nm kinda sucked for both planar and FinFET so 28 is the last planar and 14/16 is looking like a long term node as well. Is that why you think 28 will be a mainstay?

I'm seeing 28,14 and 7 as pretty much stable and widespread over the next 10 years, with 14 and 7 being significant for cost/perf and cost/density reasons.

Hootsuite CEO Directs Comment-Seeking Reporter to Phone Sex Line
Truth Initiative in Washington DC is looking for an ONSITE Technical Project Manager.

We run very agile, but we are looking for someone with more skills than a typical "scrum master" has (in our humble experience) so we called it a Technical PM.

Our interview process is a phone screen with me, the hiring manager, then an in person interview with 2 developers on the team as well as the product owner.

We're working on interventions to help people who want to quit smoking and legitimately saving lives as we go. The team is experienced and we need someone to help us make things run as smoothly as it did before our team grew in size.

Not sure I follow your first point but the latter one I think hits the nail on the head.

Google benefits greatly from healthy code ecosystem. Any exploit could easily come back and bite them in the ass. As big as they are and as much code as they pump out, they still rely on third party code and less exploits in the wild is a big win for them.
You act as if data is going to detach you from your fear-based emotional connection to your gun.

It may be the case that what the license permits (combined with fair use law) is sufficient to allow what GitHub actually, currently does with the code, but not everything their TOS claims the right to do.

In particular, "store and display your Content [..] as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service" is rather broad given that the functionality included in the "Service" (defined as "the applications, software, products, and services provided by GitHub") can change at any time, without notice.

The oceans are really, really, unbelievably massive. A molecule of water at the bottom of the Pacific takes a few thousand years to ride the currents from one side to the other and then the coastal upwelling to the surface.

We're only really acidifying the very top layer, unfortunately that's where a huge fraction of the stuff that matters is.

Artificial upwelling is a somewhat promising geo-engineering tech to reduce acidification and increase primary production (and thereby carbon capture). The idea is to somehow bring deep sea water up to the surface. Early attempts used long tubes with one way valves that were lifted up and down by wave energy. New more promising techniques use wave energy to compress air, pump the air down deep and then bubble it (and the surrounding water) up from a grid of pipes.
My French definitely gets better the more drunk I am.
Were you under the impression that wealthy people are supposed to follow the same rules as the commoner?

Maybe you also believe in the religious just-world theory? And that guns would bring about a homogenous equality to all, instead of forming warring factions?
Well, they are literally different things and yeah, I'm caught up on that. I'm trying to figure this out too.

I've known of founders who wouldn't take a deal because they liked being, to use Zuckerberg's honorific, CEO, bitch. And then they rode that into the ground.

I think you're saying they're two forms of the same thing. That's true but they're not two reversible forms. Moreover, there is no control after exit.

So the point is that taking a little less at a concrete exit might be worth more than taking a little more of a sleigh ride.
You mean the machine learning stuff, that's been around since 1959?
I retired at 35. I find it a blessing and a curse. With no kids or any other major attachments, I had to come to terms with how unimportant I am. Having a high paying job where people depend on you really feeds your ego. When that's gone, you can't avoid this fact and it takes some humility to deal with it.

Sure, but so is anyone making big donations to charity or doing anything big really. Does that mean it's a bad thing? I'd much rather companies do things like this for advertising than something that only purely benefits themselves.
And that is a huge issue with people that don't understand science backing away from and outright rejecting science. That is the whole problem with "Science" today is once you inject advocacy in one little area and it is exposed people throw the baby out with the bath water.

Take environmental sciences for example, the CRU and other leaks where scientist where exposed colluding with other scientist to blackball legitimate skeptics tainted the whole industry. Now we are seeing an wholesale rejection of environmental sciences and the gutting of the EPA. In a manner this is good, because there was obvious collusion and political advocacy and intent to stifle real science. On the other had, we also got a wholesale rejection by the voting majority which is now set to put clean energy back decades.

I personally put the blame squarely on the scientist of the CRU and the NOAA pause buster scientists (they are a disgrace to the title). They cost us dearly by trying to advance their agenda. When you compromise the integrity of science the cost is just too great.
I think homegrown chips like these have many application in weapons systems. Russia wouldn't want their UAVs or missle defence systems to run with Intel CPUs or other COTS CPUs with embedded blackbox OSes for example.
Some context, aside from the viability of Instacart itself.

Apoorva Mehta used to work down the hall from us at SomaCentral, a shared office space retrofitted out of an old law firm on Townsend. He and his buddy would be heads down in their laptops every time we walk past their bullpen corner.

They were busy building out a legal tool slash social network slash law something slash annotation something slash whatever. The plan didn't so much change but rather morph every time I said hi.

They were smart though, so I figured they would hit it whenever they get to it. Though they've been at this for awhile now.

While most others tried to keep a social factor going on at the space, they tend to be so busy they would avoid it. Though and now then I do remember getting to grab a drink with them.

A few years later, settling in my new job in Berkeley/Oakland I called up Instacart to deliver me some groceries. But it was only last year I finally looked up the company profile and soon realized it's the same Apoorva Mehta.

From being that dude to 3 billion dollars in a matter of five years is--to quote another commenter--insane.

But he's keeping the silicon valley dream alive.

That's pretty nifty in itself.

The rest of us are just hanging out here writing comments.
Well one thing is Google engineers are the highest paid in the Software industry. This allows anyone to move away from the "grow my career by preparing for interviews in my free time" mindset to coding for pure fun. This might not be the only reason but is definitely one of them. Hence why you won't find this attitude at say Microsoft (which has the least pay amongst the Big 4/5)
Yes, that's exactly how it works. See this article for an example: http://nikita-volkov.github.io/refined/

The thing is that, instead of redefining everything yourself, you could use a library that provides you with a set of predicates to compose and build the refinement you need. There are also much sophisticated ways to do this, like Liquid Haskell.
No they didn't have their way. several draconian bills never made it out of comitee.

If the funding request were limited to just Caltrain (electrification and related improvements) and omitted the HST boondoggle, I bet it would sail through.
I agree. I think it's become a glib bit of wisdom that ignores the many restrictions and challenges that AR faces.

Even when we have good subtractive rendering and a decent FOV - there are still massive constraints on the type of environment you need to have. AR reduces to VR with enough restrictions on room geometry.

Also - I want to be elsewhere - not in my house or office with extra things added in.

Bill Gates just want doesn't want to pay more in taxes. That's what UBI requires: more taxes. Considerable tax increases, but there it is. Tax the economic beneficiaries of the economy and divest to everyone to bring the top and bottom closer to GDP per capita.
I kind of want to have a development environment in Linux. I also like to game, so for that Windows (in non-vm) is better. So that's why I tried to go with WSL in the first place.

But Virtualbox seamless is a nice middle ground between the two OS and I don't have to worry about things that haven't been implemented in WSL.
20% time has always meant different things depending on who you talk to. It's likely that you're just talking to different people.

I took copious amounts of 20% time in my time at Google (2009-2014). Usually I'd start a 20% project with neither my manager's knowledge nor his approval; if it looked like it had legs, I'd let him know about it and ask what he thought. I never had a manager outright forbid me from working on a 20% project; responses ranged from "You should consider this your main project now; it's critically important that we understand this area" (along with a spot bonus for delivering on it) to "Well, you can work on it, but you are unlikely to get credit for it come promo time." In general, as long as I got my work done, my managers didn't care what else I was working on.
Oh, you once maybe read some statistics somewhere in a language you can't remember that I wouldn't understand anyway because I'm "unfamiliar with the Chinese online ecosystem"?

Completely worthless.

I never said I didn't believe my data was flawed, or that I am determined to believe the 2% figure. But you have consistently failed to provide any evidence to the contrary.
the 140 seconds seems like something is wrong or some weird bottleneck is happening especially for a empty scene. I feel like opening a scene for me is about 10 seconds at most.

I thought you were talking about it being resource heavy relative to unity, not to your own home grown one, which is likely (and obviously) much lighter. I have no doubt in that comparison all the larger game engines have quite resource heavy editor. But the tradeoff is supposed to be that few extra seconds loading it up and few GB downloading it, saves you potentially months of work you don't need to do yourself in a more custom engine.

the 2 minute plugin change also seems really off. I can tweak my plugins and recompile in a few seconds.

Intellisense is much better than it used to, at least on my own machine, but I will admit it was finicky for me for a while. Its usually instant for me nowadays, though I will admit at one point it was ridiculously slow(5-10 seconds). I have no idea what I've changed and I am on the same computer.

no getting around UE4 being quite big, several GB, to download.
> But in either case the other two people are no worse off.

They both lost 50% of their customers, how will they pay their rent?

If this island were an apartment building, the owner could just keep his newfound production, evict the other two, and collect rent from new tenants who can afford it.
Unless catching the fish and baking the bread are zero sum games, in which the land owner is the winner, leaving the other two with nothing.
While I don't prescribe to the hand-wringing, I would say that a major difference now is that the speed of technological innovation is now far outpacing education from generation to generation.
I was going to post a comment about Instacart here, but instead decided to write a little thing on Medium.

I mean, I can tear down Eich's actions the same way to justify what OKC did. That's entirely besides the point however, and my previous point still stands. Even if I buy your premise that OKC's actions are unethical, their speech should be exactly as protected as Eich's! I happen to think Eich's action was unethical for a number of reasons, but I'm not arguing against his right to make it.

EDIT: Let me also say it like this: who decides which speech is ethical or honest enough to be protected as free speech? You don't have to agree with what OKC did, like them, or even want to do business with them ever again. But you can't deny they're exercising their free speech and free association rights.

meanwhile, i'm waiting for my damn smartwheels and knight visions over here. These sumerian wizards aren't going to defeat themselves, you know!
To summarize, is it right to understand it this way:

I am a widget maker. I sell $100 of widgets to my friends domestically. I sell $100 widgets to foreigners over the internet. I use $50 of local materials and services, e.g. wood and labor (in the form of wages I pay my staff). I use $50 of foreign materials in the form of some rare earth metal stolen from a Central African country. And the tax rate is 20%.

Thus, in the current system I would have $200 in total revenue. $100 in the expenses (both domestic and foreign imports) I deduct. Leaving me with $100 profit on which I pay $20 to the government as tax.

In the proposed system I have $200 in revenue. I pay no tax on the $100 I exported. I pay 20% on the $50 domestic profit (so $10). And 20% on the $50 of imports (so $10). Total to government is $20.

(Side thought: Apple could bring all its cash back immediately in this scheme tax free by buying a $50 billion widget from Apple HQ.)

EDIT: Actually the comparison to VAT (GST as we called it in NZ/Aus) makes it confusing, the way that works in those countries (where I'm familiar with it) it would seem to imply the proposal is more like: I have $100 in foreign revenue on which no VAT is collected. I have $100 in domestic revenue on which I charge 20% VAT (i.e. the people buying domestically are paying me $120, I'm collecting that $20 for the government). That $50 of imports has 20% VAT added to it, so it cost me $60. That $50 of domestic expenses had 20% VAT added to it by those suppliers, i.e. also costing me $60. I've collected $20 in VAT from people buying my goods and services domestically, and I've paid $20 in VAT to my suppliers, so come the end of the year I pay nothing to the government. The governments revenue of $20 from this whole chain comes from the end users of products to the primary producers of the original goods and services (in this case my suppliers would be paying $20 to the government on behalf of my customers). How does this differ from a VAT?

Iranian website leaks Ryzen 1700X vs. 7700K and Broadwell-E benchmarks
Googler here. I recently had a 20% project that sometimes had bursts of 100% busyness (but still ~20% on average). It also was not relevant to my team and was in the benefit of "everyone". No explicit manager approval was required.

It certainly depends on the particular manager or even org, but in general 20% projects are still a thing for those who want them (not many).
which term do "we" have control of exactly? also... define "we"?

I initially wrote "I" instead of "we", and I should have stuck with that formulation. I have control over my own emissions. Climate change isn't a binary thing. The more CO2, the more people will (possibly) die. My choices still have an impact on the outcome, on top of whatever runaway effect there is (or isn't).
Well "liberal" in the sense it's used in US politics to mean "left wing" not actually liberal.
Googler here, 20% projects are very real. It's a flexible tool between employee and manager that gets used in a lot of ways. The only recent guidance was that 20% projects should benefit the company. And, mileage will vary depending on the relationship between employee and manager. Some employees and managers use the program well, others don't do as good of a job, but it's still very alive and well.

IMHO, this is a good example of 20%.
They don't need to destroy jobs. Just lower wages by competing with human workers. Arguably this may have already happened, if you look at how wages have fallen or remained stagnate over the past few decades. Once the value of human labor falls below minimum wage, then there is unemployment. There is no law of economics that says technology can't compete with human workers or that wages can't fall.

Look what happened to horses. Steam engines and trains threatened to replace horses in the mid 1800s. A lot of things that were previously done by horses were replaced with trains and steam engines.

Yet the horse population grew, and cities remained full of horses. There were countless transportation innovations in the 1800s, from canals to streetcars and omnibuses to bicycles. But the horse population kept growing and showed no signs of being threatened by this "automation".

I wonder if horse economists thought that technology couldn't take horse jobs and could only increase them. Whenever something took a horses job, there will always be other jobs that technology can't do yet, right?

Then the car was invented, and within 2 decades the horse population crashed. Suddenly the price of feeding and maintaining a horse was much higher than the alternative. What happened? It's not like cars can do everything horses can do. They can't use grass as fuel, or be used on the vast majority of natural terrain, etc.

But cars were just good enough to fill the majority of the economic demand for horses. Trains, cable cars, bicycles, they just weren't good enough. But once technology hit a certain threshold "this time it's different" became true.

Robotics has made incredible advancements over the past 50 years or more. They have taken over entire factories, doing countless routine tasks previously done by humans. But they are still very limited. They have 0 intelligence - they can't see, they can't learn. They can only perform a rote series of movements. So there is still tons of work available for humans.

But with recent advancements in machine learning, this is about to change. A robot will soon be able to be trained to flip burgers, or drive a car, or take a customer's order, etc, etc. I can not imagine any jobs that an average, unskilled human can do, that a machine won't soon be able to do. Maybe skilled professions will be protected - I can't imagine robots being able to program computers for awhile. But the vast majority of humans can not be trained to be computer programmers. Just like most horses didn't become race horses - they became glue.
Creating a recursive Treeview in Angular
I don't think it has much to do with "spy country". The area just happened to be one of the first to build a co-location/interconnect site where different providers could join their networks. Then, as the article states, "Networks build atop networks" and it grew from there.
I didn't suggest otherwise; however, the comment I replied to said:

> it is in fact going to be more or less impossible to think of a thing an AI wont be able to do better than humans

But we necessarily can't reach the point where AI can do all human jobs without having completely general human-level (or beyond-human-level) AI.

Until then, AI can only replace a subset of human jobs, and I've seen many convincing arguments (including analogies to past advances) that the net gain will provide more (and better) opportunities.
