Fundamentally, the reason I think that homework assignments (beyond show me fizz buzz in your favorite language) are ethically wrong, is that the cost of hiring someone is the company's not the employee's.

Employee's are asked to give up a lot when the work for a company, yes they're paid for their time but it goes beyond that. Many companies require that all inventions and patents belong to them during your tenure there. Many also have no moonlighting policies - meaning you're productive work life is essentially theirs.

An prospective employee is also often taking a risk that could sink them financially. The reverse is rare for large companies, especially since employee pay is a tax write off.

Good info in article. Name / age of news feed head and 99.9% belief to name one thing.

I also came away still believing even more how we are still better off now - even with some fake news- than the time of Walter Cronkite and the pre cable networks. All you had was whatever THEY decided you should know. One of two newspapers with editors that chose for you.

Even as a news junkie in my pre teens I wondered why they chose what they chose. Thus, by default , what they chose was important.

Now people choose and we just don't like the results, especially the old school hardcore journalists.

To the people working at FB NF, do not let old school editors change your "user decides" algorithms. And never put a human in an editing position.

Remember, it's JUST news.

In light of this new politico article:
The media bubble is real.
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/04/25/media-bubb...

I think this is a bad idea.
Fake news is already a loaded term combined with the media bubble it will just make things exponentially worse.

We need to deal with the media bubble bias first, to restore faith in real news.
I think avoiding what you call "debugger-induced tunnel vision" can be done by using a debugger to step through the code just to read it, debuggers can also be tools to better understand what the code is really doing because you not only see the code but also the state the system is in while debugging.

The added benefit is that when you actually break out the debugger to squash a bug you better understand what might be going wrong as you can try and pattern match from the time it worked perfectly.

I treat the debugger as a tool for understanding code, buggy or otherwise, no "debugger-induced tunnel vision" for me, it widens my field of view :)
The honor society at my college decided to solve the problem of students passing around answer sets. They created an answer database (with support of the dean) to ensure that answers were not unfairly shared. It worked great. Students got a lot more practice material. Some teachers hated it since they had to change tests, but even if they refused, at least the system is fair (thus no more unfair advantages from "cheating").

This whole "fake news" problem feels like a giant ruse. Their candidate (Hillary) lost, thanks in a large part to the democratization of media on the internet and right leaning online media outlets, and now they're trying to bury those same sources from being on the front page. The thousands of liberal / globalist engineers and business people feel so guilty that they helped get Donald Trump elected president that now they're actively censoring websites. All under the guise of "fake news". Sure there are some blatantly fake news articles, but it's nothing I don't see on the magazine rack at the super market and laugh off. This is much more than that, this is active censorship from the left wing globalist who control Google.
> Exercise Is Associated with Reduced Risk for Incident Dementia among Persons 65 Years of Age and Older

Correlation is not causation. How many times do we have to repeat that? It could be that folks who are more physically active tend to have healthier habits as well due to their personality/behavior.

Let me quote what the study you linked said:

> However, the existing evidence does not prove that regular exercise is associated with a lower dementia risk.

Even your links say so.
>it's difficult to serious build muscle mass without lifting weights.

Who said anything about building serious mass? There are many, say, professional fighters who do very little weight training and they look exceptional (literally).

You want to get in shape, you don't need a gym. Do hard work for 30 minutes a day. Work that makes you sweaty and tired. Run, sprint, pushups, burpees, anything. You will get in shape. If you don't believe it, try it for a couple months.

The intersection of two NURBS (Non-uniform Rational B-Spline) surfaces has a degree into the hundreds. Those are the surface types used in virtually all CAD modelers. For that reason the intersection is not calculated exactly but approximated to a geometric tolerance. It is harder, mathematically and algorithm-wise to calculate the approximation, but much faster to evaluate afterwards. It's amazing what magic lurks below the surface of even something as simple as "find the intersection of two polynomial functions".

Anything google considers far-right.
I've actually thought about using those Decawave chips for tracking players in hockey. You could mine a wealth of analytics from this including who wins puck battles and face-offs, zone entries and exits, player acceleration and speed, how player dynamics change through a shift and through the game, etc.

Couple technical issues with this kind of system though, including position resolution (maybe Kalman filter with an IMU to improve?), determine players that are active on the ice as opposed to being on the bench (maybe position based), tracking all players and puck simultaneously, plus making the hardware small enough for placing it in the players clothing and in the puck.

Business problem would be in trying to get teams signed up to collect data. Getting data from one team would be good, but from both teams and the puck would be best. You almost need to get a league to agree to use the system. Then you have to deal with data ownership issues, CBA agreement, etc. Plus the whole barrier of people in hockey thinking this stuff is useless and unless you've #playedthegame you shouldn't be making the decisions.

There are a few companies doing something similar. Zebra technologies is using RF tracking in the NFL (they do warehouse tracking normally). A bunch of others try to do it through IR systems with cameras or video processing of broadcast video, but these methods have their own issues (occlusion, HW needs to be visible, etc.).

In any case, the wealth of data and statistics you could mine would be fascinating to say the least.

Pretty much.

Freedom Mobile has limited coverage and is still rolling out LTE to the coverage it has. You can't really use it as a counter-example when it's a no-go for many Canadians. The site seems pretty close to what you can get if you shop around (it's exactly what I pay for example).

The percentage of people who can not make a living for themselves is quite small. The number of people who can not make a living for themselves who have rich parents is quite small.

My use of the word 'necessarily' was to highlight that we are talking about very small numbers. Indeed, it is disingenuous to bring up people with Down Syndrome who have wealthy parents into the conversation. It's such a small number of people. There are ways to help such people in a 100% estate tax society. There are ways to make legal exemptions based on extreme situations in a 100% estate tax society.

To say people will necessarily be destitute in a 100% estate tax society is wrong. It is bad thinking and indicates a poor understanding of public policy and potential remedies. It is wrong to say that absolutely at least one person would be destitute in a 100% estate tax society. It could be the case that this is true but it doesn't have to be the case.

One should strive to be accurate in how things are phrased.
There is no reasoning nor bargaining with evil. It simply is, and its job is to destroy.
This is correct. People arguing otherwise are misunderstanding capitalism. Tuition doesn't go up because administrators need to be paid. Tuition goes up because the market will pay it. The administrators are the result of the profit margin of tuition, not the cause.

It's the same argument that sports tickets cost so much because the players get paid so much. That is backwards. Ticket price rises to the level that the audience will pay, and then that determines how much money is available to pay players.
The quarterly reporting process does put perverse incentives on the CEO that cascade through the company. I've seen it first-hand. To meet the shareholders' shortsighted demands for steady growth and accurate short-term budget forecasts, the corporate budgeting process is a top-down bureaucratic affair that emphasizes predictability at the expense of long-term profits.

If a small department has a great set of low-risk, high-reward projects, but runs out of budget, the company should run the project so long as the risk-adjusted reward is greater than the cost of capital. But instead, they must stick to the plan.
Well of course..It's the echo chamber effect that's been discussed since the 90's.

I think they're still early enough in the process that they want to leave their options open. I'm sure they're going to be capturing a lot of information about how the riders, community, and press handle this first step — and use that to determine where they want to go from there.
I think the point the professor was trying to make was that the increased supply of used books incentivizes the publishing company to print a new edition, which all of the students will be forced to pay for. This is analogous to how car companies update their models on a yearly basis.
The truly savvy professors don't even take the token bribes / hand outs from the publishers. They'll have their own "custom text book" for a class and charge students $X for xeroxed copy of the it. The savviest rotate the problems from semester to semester to ensure zero resale value.

> How are you so sure driverless cars will get into less accidents

Same reason robots in manufacturing are better than humans. They don't have bad mood, they don't have bad day, they don't need to speak on the phone while driving, they don't drink etc.

> how is this technology going to be make everything less expensive

Because in Europe/USA most part of the cost in low-weight vehicle transportation is salary of the driver. Also self driving cars will be less costly to maintain (less accidents, better monitoring), if big fleet operated by companies they also have benefit of large scale etc
Argentina has a big real estate tax, so people donate their property to their children in life.

The result is that poor and unprepared get hit by the tax, while rich people that live longer and are more educated shelter themselves of it.

It is my opinion that people are truly ingenious and forcing them to do something will be met with tremendous resistance.

Apparently not.

Also, I seem to remember reading that similar claims were routinely made at the time in order for the divorce to be approved by the court. I.e. nobody was trying to make claims of abuse, they were simply trying to ensure the divorce was approved, and both parties agreed to make whatever exaggerated or false claims that could be seen as reasonable grounds for divorce.

Anyway, that’s what I remember. I could of course be wrong about this particular case.

When an economy's health is largely measured by movement of money, this does in fact help. If that were the only or best metric. In a consumption-oriented economy it may be considered that.

Creating things that last years, decades, generations, doesn't keep the economy "moving" in this sense. It can cause some sectors to fail (a sort of boom-bust). If you create a near perfect product that lasts decades, you have an immediate need to ramp up production (to meet demand). Once the demand tapers off due to market penetration, growth slows, and then you shrink--potentially rapidly. If the product doesn't expire frequently (break, wear out, get lost, something) and is a non-consumable good, then your production needs to drop off or you need to make different things.

I worked for an employer once that was in that situation. I saw it coming, but they straight up lied to the staff about what was coming up, how the future was great. Then we went from $500 million/year in revenue to $150 million/year because our massive ramp-up for production succeeded, now our product was in every system it needed to be in. New systems are made relatively slowly (big things, like airliners, but also smaller like military ground vehicles), and only needed our parts for maintenance (breakdown after ~10 years; maybe not break but need replacement/servicing) and the less frequent new production.

By some metrics, this was a failure of the company (in fact, the division was sold off some time later). But it actually succeeded, it needed to pivot to maintenance and divert other resources to engineering other solutions (or let them go, which is what happened to many of them). They actually have pivoted, I'm told, at least some parts of it. They're doing more diverse sets of safety critical systems, including getting into the consumer ground vehicle market now. That need to pivot should have been obvious, but for some reason it wasn't to many of my peers, and the management ignored it (willfully) at least in their presentations to us.
Wow! This is neat!

I'm not saying the author doesn't think the demographics are relevant. But she doesn't just complain about "wikipedia has to many male editors and is thus treating some topics unfairly", but looks into why and what could be done to help fix that. (Which IMHO makes it a lot better than many other articles about the topic.)

Your inital comment ignores the latter part completely: "Everybody is allowed to edit" doesn't make much sense as a response to "this is why some people's contributions are (seemingly unfairly) rejected", and if you actually stopped where you quoted, you would have missed the latter part entirely, since it starts in the paragraph after. If your comment was intended to make another point, I missed it.
This estimate is a bit out of date, if you look at the swag in the original article from 2001. But it's on the order of what it would cost. Well worth it. We should prioritize this important work.

This. Linkerd has been a pretty cool piece of tech. In fact, their rewrite linkerd-tcp is in Rust and is blazingly fast. Also, it works on L4 and can do more stuff than Envoy... though I think that advantage is going to be shortlived.

Linkerd guys have been focusing on building deep integration with k8s (as an ingress or sidecar), but this announcement of Envoy trumps it all.

>"We are excited to announce that we are working in partnership with both Google and IBM to bring Envoy to Kubernetes. Fun fact: there are now more people working on Envoy at Google than there are at Lyft! We have a lot of other things planned with Google that we will be able to share more about in the coming months."

That's a bummer for the amazing guys at Buoyant. I had hoped for linkerd to be the next generation of ingress in k8s.

Envoy is in C++, while linkerd-tcp is in Rust. I wonder how much role did the choice of tooling play in Google's decision to adopt.

The Last Psychiatrist talked about this sometimes. The problem is not just that the original studies need to be rescinded, or discredited going forward. The problem is what do you do about everything that cited them, that took the knowledge in the faulty papers and used it as a foundation for more knowledge? The faulty ideas in the paper have permeated out to researchers and (sometimes) the broader culture generally, what do you do about that?
