That's a stupid statement. Net worth is not income. Surely you understand the difference between the money you deposit in a checking account and the interest the bank pays on your deposit. Furthermore, net worth are just estimates of the monetary worth of all property belonging to someone.

Just admit you were wrong.
> Ummm thats how the world works, frankly its like saying water is wet. Whenever a hospital works with any third party provider, it signs a BAA agreement which governs the sharing of data

Most BAA agreements are for things that are actually and unambiguously direct care, and for the actual patient being treated, and only obviously relevant data used for a particular business processes.

Like lab results or billing, for example.

Most of the data Google received was for people who it's unambiguously NOT providing direct care to. And even for the people who might be helped with their app, IMO "direct care" is still a stretch.

So, this agreement was not standard or normal in terms of scope or quantity. That's almost tautologically true, since what DeepMind is doing is presently abnormal.

Now, you may argue that it should be allowed without additional data protections. But don't mis-characterize. Most BAA's are significantly different in scope and purpose from from this agreement in any number of ways.

> De-anonymization has NOTHING to do with the current scenario. When legal contracts are in place, they dictate the rquirements & restriction on using the data.

Nope; contracts create enforceable expectations between parties but do not, except in exceptional cases where the law allows for this, override the requirements that exist in law.
Every generation has to create its effort-free alternative to exercise, whether it's electrodes you attach to your abs or standing there while a vibrating belt shakes your body.

Even George Jetson would sit around while the computer exercised for him, so I guess we know what's coming in the future.
Every time something like this comes up, I think about "games" like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passage_%28video_game%29

I think that the argument is stronger that it's not a "video game" than that it isn't "sublime art".

And if having a goal is considered to be an essential element of gamehood, and being without a goal is an essential element of arthood, then fine, games can't be art. But I think there can be art-like games (maybe like Braid), as well as game-like art (maybe like Passage).

When you work by yourself: You never compromise. You dont need to spend time communicating with other members of the team. You dont have errors due to miscommunication. You dont have disagreements. Meetings to decide things happen in your head and take a few minutes instead of hours. You spend 0 time coordinating the team. Project/time management of the team becomes a triviality rather than a full-time managment job.

> It's a bit different in the USA as we don't really have an NHS here with everybody's data

We don't really have that in the UK.

This is one particular NHS Trust that runs 3 (I think) hospitals (and some other services) in London.

https://www.royalfree.nhs.uk/

So if I go to them to have my knee replaced, and I go to a different trust to have a lump-ectomy, the data Deepmind gets doesn't include (I think) the lumpectomy.

As for your question about whether this kind of thing is popular: a while ago the NHS wanted to run something called Care.Data (care dot data) which was a big data project. A bunch of people complained about not being allowed to opt out, and so an opt out was added, and a bunch of people then opted out. Personally, I would have opted in if they'd given that option.

The other poster already addressed this, but I'll add: this is the sort response that always comes up.

It clearly costs different people differently, in terms of mental energy and willpower. This "we're all feeling the pain here" is a vaguely polite form of the sort of "just suck it up, wimp" response that I've come to expect.
I actually did not realize freshmeat was gone until seeing this post. Apparently freshmeat became freecode.com sometime in 2011 with a terrible new layout. Then subdomains like palm.freecode.com disappeared entirely in 2013, after Dice Holdings acquired and ruined Slashdot, SourceForge, and Freecode. Those three websites were acquired by some holding company BIZX LLC last year, and the new owners seem to be serious about removing malware and adware from SourceForge and turning it around: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/4n3e1s/the_state_...

IMO the best thing they can do for freshmeat is restore the old pages and layout. There was some really good, hard-to-find information on that site.

But avoiding allocations in real-time C++ is a burden to some (increasingly common) kinds of programmers.

The kids today are so indoctrinated in modern C++ that they don't stop to think that `vector<>::push_back()` potentially allocates behind the scenes.

Writing real-time code requires a certain mentality that is at odds with modern frameworks. I expect nice languages like D have similar cultural issues.
To get a grad student or post-doc position, you're really just trying to convince a specific human that you're smart, useful, and to some extent personable. Metrics are a good argument for that, but having them know who you are before you apply is even better.

This applies especially if you write the distillation targeted at the lab you want to hire you.
Either someone fucked up really badly (happens with everything from time to time) or this isn't the whole story.

If nothing else because no Mental Health professional would give a formal diagnosis for DD-NOS after one visit. I know cause I was given that along with a host of others after years of visits to Military Mental Health - so I'm no stranger to the system.

Your SCI doesn't apparently relate to this story as you were made DNIF and nothing else according to you. Did you get read off SCI?

I'm not saying that people don't get fucked, but there are as many people that have been DNIF or separated for things like arthritis in the pinky toe (yes I know someone that happened to) or some kind of funky random thing that wouldn't otherwise be an issue.

I guess depends on your definition of a stress response; most people would consider it to be a 'stress response' whilst you have high adrenergic/sympathetic activity. Upon activation of the parasympathetic nervous system there will be a gradual decrease in cortisol and a rapid decrease in adrenaline.

Thyroid hormone is also going to be implicated somewhere along with a host of other hormones so I have simplified but suffice to say it's shades of grey on the way in and out
CSS Grid and Grid Inspector in Firefox
I feel like the article ascribes way too much to the "control" aspect. In my experience, the truth seems closer to the "ignorance" than to "malice"; companies are lazy: they see other companies touting their open floor plans — big ones, like Facebook! — and think, if Facebook is doing it, it must be good! That, and/or it's just cheaper / easier to cram people into an open floor plan than trying to figure out walls.

Mix into that that so often recruiters seem to be outsourced to a third-party company composed of people who know next to nothing about engineering, and it shouldn't be surprising. They're parroting what they've seen other job posts tout. Until a significant number of job postings start listing "closed floor plan" or something along those lines, the cycle will continue.

And, it's not even just "control": it's also a loss of productivity through noise and disease. The last time I was in an open floor plan and a mild cold struck, it cost two engineer weeks. That's a couple thousand dollars; if a better layout could have quarantined that even slightly (it went through four people), the extra space required might actually pay for itself after some modest amount of time. But I don't know for sure, and someone would actually need to do the math, but nobody can: things like illnesses, and illness spreading are so untracked that it's a completely hidden cost that shows up on no ledger.
I think it really depends on the company, and the interior architecture of the office. We have what is considered an open floor space, but have rooms available for private meetings and for heads-down working. Couple that with a headphone-respecting and results-only culture (as in, nobody cares if they see you on facebook, you're only judged on your overall output) and I don't really have a problem with it.

Its also not really feasible with the size of our office for people to have individual offices. We've set up privacy curtains and worked with the natural partitions of the space to at least mitigate the potential issues with a purely open plan. We also have our desks set up in functional pods where you're working next to people on your team. I'm just saying it can be done correctly, with the right interior planning.

I've also been in an office that went the opposite direction and had individual offices for everyone, and I felt that to be too isolating and depressing over time, although there were other factors that made me feel that way too.

Take it with a grain of salt though - we're ~60 people, and I've seen some of the bigger open-floor offices that seem more in line with the arguments presented here. It really comes down to the individual company and their needs.

> Seems like even those who have the most give out back less to others than they would have done just by the regular taxation laws, living in a typical European country.

You're somehow confusing money that someone intentionally gave away to philanthropic causes with money that a state takes away forcefully from anyone's income, as if everyone would wilfully give it away to charitable causes even if the state didn't took it from them, and also somehow assuming that Americans don't pay taxes as well.

Tell me, when was the last time you gave away over 10% of your income to philanthropic causes?
This is neat!

One small annoyance is that it captures common browser shortcuts: e.g. Cmd-L on Mac (iirc Ctrl-L on Win/Linux) is a shortcut for the URL which is what I usually use when I want to go to another page. In insect, it just prints an "l" on screen, so I need to use the mouse to navigate elsewhere.

Right - identifying AR as a hot area is easy, but formulating what that looks like requires vision. Money and talent will deliver the Palm Pilot (1997), vision will deliver an iPhone (2007).

My take on UX frontiers:

#1 text console
#2 mouse & keyboard
#3 touchscreen
#4 camera & microphone

I think we're at the beginning of #4, and starting to see this in categories like messaging, social networks, dating, and e-commerce. I consider overlaying AR elements to a live camera feed to be a subset of this shift, but by no means the defining aspect of this new method to interact with machines.
Thank you for the clarifications, I will definitely improve the documentation w.r.t trouble cases, fragmentation and similar allocators.

The goal is of course not to replace the standard allocator, but rather to offer an alternative for those cases where the standard allocator performs poorly.

GC has mostly been studied in languages, where you cannot avoid the GC: Java, Smalltalk, Lisp, etc. If you can avoid the GC and you pick the low hanging fruits, the circumstances for the garbage collector might be very different than all this previous research.

D is not popular enough so far, so there will not be much research invested into its GC. When Java gets value types, it might become interesting.

I think the biggest problem with open floor spaces is that they include the sales/marketing teams, most of whom (in my experience) speak on the phone or with each other all day. Sometimes, believe it or not, on speaker.

I don't mind working with fellow engineers in the same table in a quiet room every now and then. It's when you have no escape to work in quiet focus that it becomes a problem.

A.I. Is Doing Legal Work. But It Won’t Replace Lawyers, Yet
There are some odd disparities between the UT article and this new article. The UT article claimed:

"The use of an alkali-metal anode (lithium, sodium or potassium) — which isn’t possible with conventional batteries — increases the energy density of a cathode and delivers a long cycle life. In experiments, the researchers’ cells have demonstrated more than 1,200 cycles with low cell resistance."

That would seem to completely rule out the lithium-air explanation.

Regarding the mechanism for energy storage, the UT article said:

"The engineers’ glass electrolytes allow them to plate and strip alkali metals on both the cathode and the anode side without dendrites, which simplifies battery cell fabrication. "

Does the "plating and stripping" language imply energy storage/discharge?

The abstract from the paper itself reads:

"The advent of a Li+ or Na+ glass electrolyte with a cation conductivity σi > 10−2 S cm−1 at 25 °C and a motional enthalpy ΔHm = 0.06 eV that is wet by a metallic lithium or sodium anode is used to develop a new strategy for an all-solid-state, rechargeable, metal-plating battery. During discharge, a cell plates the metal of an anode of high-energy Fermi level such as lithium or sodium onto a cathode current collector with a low-energy Fermi level; the voltage of the cell may be determined by a cathode redox center having an energy between the Fermi levels of the anode and that of the cathode current collector. This strategy is demonstrated with a solid electrolyte that not only is wet by the metallic anode, but also has a dielectric constant capable of creating a large electric-double-layer capacitance at the two electrode/electrolyte interfaces. The result is a safe, low-cost, lithium or sodium rechargeable battery of high energy density and long cycle life."

It is also referred to as a "metal-plating battery" in the abstract. I find it mystifying that neither of the terms "plate" or "plating" appears in the Quartz article.
Agreed, but if you're on the receiving end, how much will you care about parsing the motives of the horrendous conditions you find yourself in? Mostly, if you're wise, you'll just want to avoid those conditions.
He's making the point that relativity says that if something is "in motion" but never accelerates (including accelerating by turning), you can just put your point of reference with that object and define it as "at rest."

In practice, in the real universe, everything is subject to acceleration. You can only have an object that is infinitely moving without accelerating in a toy universe with only one object. At which point it is probably more intuitive to define it as at rest instead, since there's nothing else around for it to be moving in relation to.
