But more opinions (from AIs) that differ from the advice of the 'responsible health professional' will surely add confusion to the doctor's life, and in the US medical space, legal liability. In general, doctors are understandably reluctant to invite more oversight, especially if it doesn't clearly add value and if it's not independently and certifiably trustworthy.

Past AI apps, like 1980s expert-systems, generally relied on brittle binary criteria that were hard to match with certainty. Too often they produced results that were either obvious or implausible, but at least they could explain themselves. They were also poor at matching against fuzzy clues from patients (and doctors) who are notoriously inconsistent and nonquantitative at describing symptoms. No doubt a greater emphasis on quantitation lies at the heart of today's AI systems. But if the classifications and recommendations of tomorrow's AIs lack explicability, there's no way in hell they'll be trusted or given authority by risk-averse practitioners.

A middle ground is needed, where the 'advice' from the AI is grounded in clear statistically significant bases and adds value to the process, rather than competing with humans. In some spaces like suggesting cancer therapies, that are more likely to succeed using quanta, I think AI will be adopted and appreciated first. Primary care medicine will probably see it last, though it probably is already employed invisibly behind the scenes by insurers for validation and quality control (like prescription drug contraindication).

Don't know what to tell you.

All I can say, is my dad recieved a hell of an offer to return (and so did his buddies). The people he trained all had PhD's from various universities around the globe and were supposedly excellent material science engineers. My dad had a high school education, but was trained/worked for decades in this particular field.

The molds that make every component in a MacBook need to be better than those assembling them. The skill to plug in a keyboard or even run a machine to make a keyboard, is not the same as designing or creating the molds of the keyboard. Apple does all of that (to my knowledge) in the U.S. The reason is likely security of their IP and that they have a critical mass of skilled people here, able to out perform elsewhere. Also, it's easy to ship designs anywhere, not so much material goods.

Steam definitely has a stranglehold on digital game purchases, but if anyone can break this it is likely Amazon.

Most of the value Steam offers Amazon/Twitch will likely offer over time (shared servers/friend status etc...). The supply chain that Amazon offers for physical games though would be nearly impossible for Steam duplicate.

Additionally, the general customer service experience with Amazon is phenomenal. If this is brought to Twitch, that alone is an improvement over Steam's treatment of customer.

What is everyone using curl for that it needs to be written in C (or Rust?).

If it think about my usage, it's like get or post something and see what the returned json looks like. If I need to download something wget usually works without having to remember -O.

But higher level things like httpie are easier to deal with, sane defaults and all that. Maybe they use libcurl...

Are there any re-write userland in ${safe-high-level-lang} projects?

My point is that it's a lot easier to happen accidentally when the upload happens automatically and without intervention. With git, you directly specify what files you're committing (with the .gitignore as an additional safety net) and when that commit happens. It's all manual.

If I'm testing an app and I want to hard code an API key for testing, and I'm using Github, it's not a problem. I have to explicitly commit that file. Now, I have to both remember that Kite uploads everything, and avoid using that workflow at all, and use the .kiteignore thing (which is another random dotfile in my repo, great).
A $1000 deposit is a significant commitment to ordering the car, even if it is fully refundable. Very few people would do this until they are basically decided on buying this. For everyone who would reconsider, there are for certain plenty of people, who are interested in the car but would not put down money without a test drive first. So, judging from the deposits, I would rather assume the actual list of interested buyers way exceeds the amount of people who put money down.

Depends on why you're burning out. Constant demands for overtime without the extra pay? Your manager is also responsible for the IT dept., so when your computers fail IT are told not to bother? Forced to resign down to a much lesser role because of 70+ hours/week and an inconsequential spelling mistake?

You seethe, and do less, and less. When a fault occurs that you could correct, you don't. You turn up 40 minutes after starting time, and walk out of meetings early. Everything becomes half-assed.

Oh, and you start to plan ahead, so you can get the boss back by dobbing him into a governmental authority.

Right now, I get paid to flirt with a lot of pretty women for much of the day.
Many workplaces do offer a wide variety of fitness related benefits. Free on-site gyms, fitness programs like walking or stretching offered on company time, memberships to nearby fitness facilities, etc.

Other cultures tackle it differently to. In Japan, organized stretching before work is commonplace.

However, it's very silly to compare procreation with fitness.

The fat procreator still benefits the society far more than the slim non...procreator, because on a 100 year or 200 year scale, both are dead, and the society only contains the progeny of one of them.

Put it this way: would you rather have a phone that can be upgraded a ton but will eventually wear out and stop working, or have a phone which can be endlessly replaced such that it is always modern and working, even if it isn't top of the line?
The article is for the quotes which are accurate.

> If you want high contrast ratios in dark areas of an image, everything else will be blown out

Conversely could you say that in order to capture subjects with lighter skin, you need to increase lighting in the background or else the background will clip?

Here's an article about the cinematography and technology choices: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/movies/12-years...

> he was able to photograph black actors of dramatically different skin tones in a nighttime interior scene using just everyday house lamps, thanks to a sophisticated digital camera. “I just changed the wattage of the bulb, used a dimmer, and I didn’t have to use any film lights. That kind of blew me away,” Patterson says. “The camera was able to hold both of them during the scene without any issues.”

It seems like there might have been tech limitations initially, but with today's technology you can light your backgrounds and expose for either dark or light subjects well. The big challenge is having a photo with 2 subjects in the same exposure who you want to both look good.

Edit: by the way I too have an old Nikon camera. I usually shoot in Aperture priority with some intentional underexposure, and then edit it up in post :)

I'm not sure this corresponds to my understanding of the wave function before observation.

This was only meant as a classical model how the outcome is not predetermined, I did not want to imply that the wave function oscillates back and forth between two states or something like that. I could also have said that you place two coins in each box and one randomly explodes when you look in the box. And of course the corresponding coin in the second box also explodes simultaneously.
> This hinges on a common fallacy that insists there are a fixed number of jobs.

It has nothing to do with that at all. What it hinges on is that companies will pay lower wages when it's more profitable.

The thing that allows high wages against labor competition is high productivity, so that labor is a smaller proportion of total costs and companies are under less pressure to reduce wages.
I think that there's an argument to be made that Hillary didn't rally the Black vote well enough, because she assumed that it would transfer to her as part of a new permanent Democratic majority instead of being an artifact of enthusiasm for the first Black president. In other words, she took them for granted. I didn't see much pandering from her at all. The most shameful race-related story of the Democratic side was when Bernie was libeled as a racist by Black activists with thinly disguised connections to the Clinton campaign.

Hillary made strategic missteps, I don't think that portraying Blacks as victims was one of them.

Your point may be that the Democrats have played this game too long and turned off working-class whites, creating an opening for a populist, politically incorrect Republican who only has to agree to keep his hands off of Social Security and Medicare and he's "liberal enough." I think there's some truth to that.
I don't know the OP but I think his father is biased. The story is repeated a lot (The Chinese/Indians/Other-Race are cheaper but can't produce the same!) even for Software developers (Indians). In most cases (at least for the software engineering) the problem turns out that the other-race pay was low, and thus attracted low talent. The company probably wanted to cut costs and picked cheap foreign workers that didn't perform.

That 67% number seemed shocking so I tried to dig up a source. Only found this:

And it says:
"In this definition, single-parent families may include cohabiting couples ..."

So it may not be quite that bad - co-habiting couples sharing children are not a particular risk setup even if they are not married. Where I live - north Europe - they are entirely normal.

But what is the proportion of kids, and black kids, actually living with just one parent in the US?
Saudis’ Tax Cut on Aramco Sweetens Its I.P.O
Your first point rubs me the wrong way. The implicit assumption is "there exists some lesser class of humans incapable of doing the work we do".

All of my experience, every success of outreach programs bringing new people to tech, everything we know about the distribution of IQ suggests that it's not the case. There is plenty of room in the future economy for more knowledge workers and we shouldn't be making the assumption that people should let their mind rot doing work better suited for machines.

Simple (easy to say) is not the same as being easy to deduce. A needle is a simple object, but finding one in a pile of hay takes a lot of work. Likewise, it is hard to pick out the features that make a problem simple when they are embedded in a sea of complexity. It becomes easy to say once you are no longer faced with the difficulty of knowing the right thing to say.
> Restaurants cook so much better than me.

It depends on what you mean by 'better'. Taste better, or nutritiously better.

My friend here in San Francisco runs a Pakistani-"Indian" restaurant on Jackson St, and during Christmas week I helped him out in the kitchen as his staff was thin (just moving food in and out to customers' tables, taking back dishes etc, no cooking)

This may not be the case at all restaurants, but I was pretty horrified at how the average restaurant around the corner operates. They put loads of salt, cream and butter in everything. Vegetables and meats are purchased in bulk from restaurant supply stores and are rarely fresh. If a customer didn't like an entree, they'd just make a new one with more salt, cream (if applicable) and butter. They have 4.5 star average reviews on YELP. Always packed on lunch hour and evenings during the week.

In his (Owner / my friend's )own words "Anything can be made to taste great if you throw in salt and butter".

Some Indian restaurant use oil and a dash of butter even in their Basmati rice!
"They require user help in the form of annotations in cases where they can't prove everything automatically."

Everything should Just Work (TM) on Windows these days. SBCL provides reasonably fresh binaries to download. Quicklisp can be installed by entering the necessary commands into SBCL console. Emacs has a Windows installer. SLIME can be installed from Quicklisp. And so on. I develop in Lisp on both Windows and Linux machines, it works exactly the same (which cannot be said of some other languages).
I wholeheartedly disagree.

Let me tell you something you might be unfamiliar with: companies that cannot manage their affairs properly will end up in bankruptcy. They will owe more to those who provide it with goods and services than they can collect. This happens when companies cannot (or will not) adjust their operations to accommodate changes in market conditions or regulatory environments.

The cost structure of Hostess made them uncompetitive. And unions are a big part of the reason why they could no longer compete effectively.

You're free to disagree with my analysis but you're not entitled to your own facts. A company that goes bankrupt several times is prima facie evidence of poor management. And by poor management, I mean management that could not or would not deal with a major cost of their operations: labor.

If Hostess hadn't gone into bankruptcy, we wouldn't be having the argument at all. Private equity would have never swooped in to buy up the distressed assets, free itself of the onerous union contracts and poorly negotiated supplier agreements to rise from the ashes.

I can still buy Twinkies and I have private equity firms to thank for it. Not unions.

QED.

I'm skeptical that the majority of "conveyor belt workers and janitors" (or the people who would have wound up being such workers if we're talking long-term) are going to otherwise be trainable as "teachers, custom builders, physical therapists and nurses".

Maybe. But maybe not, and the effects of the more qualified people retraining into those 'in demand' skills en masse isn't going to be that pretty in terms of its effects on wages and employment of those areas either... and this doesn't even reflect the fact that there will be a 'continued crisis' of automation in other areas, so you might retrain into the wrong area and find that job has gone before you even get started (spilling even more qualified people into the hunt for the next viable job category).

I think you have some good points, but I think the tone of optimism is probably misguided.
I can't recall so many (80?) security fixes in a recent iOS update. A malicious font, audio file, image file or website can cause arbitrary execution?! When a file parser or Safari is vulnerable, why doesn't the iOS sandbox block device/root modifications?

What happens if your device is already infected? Does the update process replace all OS files or could an infected device still contain malware after upgrade to 10.3?

Are there tools or apps that can report system level logs, e.g. could iOS 10.3 detect and report if known-malicious files are present on a device?
Is there any real, peer-reviewed evidence that marijuana has any positive medical effects -- i.e., that it can be used "medically" to treat any disease?
> the unemployment rate numbers are fudged by UNDERemployment

The employment numbers are not fudged, they are very specific as to what they contain. Further there are 6 of them so its important to specify which is applicable to whatever you're trying to determine. In the case of underemployment U-6 is the measurement you want to look at.

If you look at the historical charts for U-6 you'll see we're below the unemployment level of 1995.

It doesn't have an ontology with a current prayer of being falsifies, which is the same thing if you're interested in the science and not the popsci. Exceptions exist, hence AdS/CFT correspondence and M-Theory, but they are exceptions. Even then, all that can be said is various tools have been created with value beyond their fields, not that they're in any way falsifiable yet.

At any rate, "intuitive" strikes me as a bad test for QM.
Portacle[1] and lispstick[2] both provide portable sbcl-based development environments on windows.

Build with Next.js and GraphQL Now
Yes, it is the holy grail. Yes, the documentation is a bit spotty in some cases. We've been using kubernetes in GCE for about 1 year. We run both interactive services and batch jobs in 2 clusters: dev and production. The production cluster runs fully with declarative configs (we have a jenkins instance that performs the deployments of committed k8s configs). There are a couple of features that we are missing: (pod anti-affinity now in 1.6) and better support for storage. But in general kubernetes has the right concepts for running services, imho. We have 0 ops people.
Our clusters run on large VMs with 10s of PODs in the same VM. We can get high cpu/mem utilization; resilience to failures; logging; monitoring (via prometheus - GCE /stackdriver is awful). I don't think there is anything out there that comes close in terms of supporting the right abstractions and being ready to use in production.
