That quote might be true, but the only direct reference to it is from a LIFE magazine obituary that does not refer to any source for the quote.

von Neuman also invented "Mutual Assured Destruction" and (correctly) believed the Soviets had more advanced weapons, so it's strange that he honestly advocated attacking Russia.
"Net Neutrality" is one of those terms like "Pro-choice"... you can put it nicely but basically you're saying that you want to kill your child because you didn't really plan to have one and you were careless.
We use a number of hidden APIs for our service, including APIs for Xbox Live, Playstation and Steam. Generally, we consider that the companies have legitimate reasons for keeping that data somewhat inaccessible, so we tend to treat the data as though we've come upon it by chance. In my opinion, this is abuse of an otherwise private system, and is likely precisely what Microsoft et al are trying to prevent by keeping their APIs locked down. I would have hoped the researchers here would have taken that into consideration before making a very public and unofficial statement about numbers related to the Xbox platform.

This article is certainly interesting, but I can't help but feel as though it shouldn't have been published. Then again, I guess I am on Hacker News. :)
> So we'll just sit in the same traffic in our electric car for an hour, each way to work?

On the bright side, electric cars don't pollute emissions or noise when idling. It's an incremental improvement, but one I happily embrace.
Probably because "ACA" triggers the words "Obamacare" in most peoples minds, right?
But that's completely besides the point. Nothing regarding net neutrality should prevent your ISP from prioritizing specific traffic on your link if you wish that they do so. And there should not even be a problem with charging you for the additional service.

The only thing they can not do is to prioritize your aggregate traffic over a different customer's aggregate traffic on their backbone, or to force prioritization on your link, or to charge differently for different traffic on your link, every bit transmitted has the same price.

If you think that being able to buy prioritization on the backbone would be a good idea, think again: If they sell you a gigabit pipe, and they sell your neighbour a gigabit pipe ... how could the solution to possible saturation of the aggregate uplink be anything but that they need to increase the uplink capacity in order to fulfill their contracts? It's obviously unacceptable to charge you more in order to reduce the quality of the service of your neighbour even more, isn't it? Or to let you decide that your work is more important than their entertainment? Either they have to invest in their infrastructure so they can actually deliver the service that they sold you, or they have to cancel the contracts/decrease the bandwidth of the links (and charge less accordingly).

No that's exactly how every popular attempt at explaining net neutrality I've seen explains it: net neutrality prevents your ISP from making one service artificially appear slower than another. If I pay Comcast for a certain speed I already expect that speed. I've never seen anyone discuss net neutrality the way you're describing it. I would consider your definition just part of tort law.
Top Principles of Successful App Testing
I guess the ZFS approach is the best one.
The average height has been increasing steadily all over the world for the last century or so, perhaps since industrialization. Though malnourishment played a part in not letting people reach their genetic potential in height, there is evidence linking taller heights with disease such as cancer and shorter lifespans.

I do not think it has been conclusively proven that taller statures are desirable. I would think adequate nutrient intake from a variety of food sources that leads to a sufficient and healthy height would be better than attempting to maximize for greater height at the expense of health in later years.

If you can read about CBT in a book then you can use an app or AI bot as well. It should be tested and validated. However, there are some ethical concerns of not having a licensed professional in the loop and who can do an evaluation and monitor progress / intervene.

I am not sure "it seems like no one else could have done it" applies to Nobel Prize type discoveries or Moon Landing like feats of engineering, much less to software companies.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to say that many employees at companies like Google are not brilliant or not extremely effective in their work, but "no one else could have done it" is a useless test that relies on mythologizing people. The way I figure out, the people getting rich (as employees) are those that: a) took the risk to get in early enough, b) performed their jobs competently enough to stay long term and to give the company a chance to succeed, c) got lucky enough in that all the imponderable external factors also resulted in that particular company succeeding. That doesn't mean they weren't "instrumental", in the sense of being the people who actually happened to get the work done. But that's different from "irreplaceable".
That's my interpretation. The OP likely meant 'I'd have voluneered'.
Well, depending on context, that quote can be taken as advocating for bombing the Russians, or it can be taken as forcing the issue to the point where someone that advocated for leaving the option to do later needed fully justify the reasons for doing so right now or accept that conditions must change before you can consider that action. A sort of "put up or shut up", if you will. I'm sure people existed that wanted to do just that, bomb the Russians preemptively right then, but forcing them to play their hand exposes them, and lets those more conservative see them for what they are.

The article does talk about "land testing" so I assume they have a mock-up somewhere in the desert to test this stuff in a place where failure doesn't send the pilot/plane into the ocean.

I think the problem is that they were still testing these technologies at the same time that they were building the ship, so now there's only so far they can go in modifying them from their original assumptions while still staying withing the power/space/layout specifications the ship was designed around.

> while apparently for particular purposes non-dairy milks are starting out at a disadvantage even if they have some health benefits in other ways

It's almost like alternative milks have around 30 calories per cup and real milk has 160 calories. That's a huge difference because you're likely to give your child "a glass of milk", not ask them to drink 5 glasses because the alt milk has basically no nutritional value.

Source: my gf swears by alt milks so I have a fridge full of them. I borrow them sometimes when I run out of real milk.

PS: Yes I'm comparing to "full" fat 3.5% milk. Not that watered down stuff that seems to be super popular for some reason. And while I'd love to use real full fat milk, 3.5% is the most I have easy access to in the absence of owning a cow.

I think you either misunderstood my statement or I did a poor job communicating my points. Either way, it seems clear from your response that the position I was trying to present was not the one that was interpreted. I take some amount of resignation in your assumptions about my upbringing based on a single comment but in general I'm more annoyed that instead of simply focusing on rebutting the points you thought I was making, which you did very effectively, you felt degenerating the discussion into personal attacks was somehow also necessary.

Now then, you're right about access to care. If you felt like I was being dismissive of the idea that someone might lack the available funds to get proper treatment for a mental disorder then I apologize. My statement about the long term wasn't to suggest that the access problem is solved now or that it will be solved within the next few decades which in my mind represent the near term as far as timescales go. I simply meant to imply that, assuming the app continues to show promise and is eventually completed as a functional product, and that similar derivative programs aimed at helping treat different mental illnesses can be developed, the concern after those accomplishments becomes ensuring that they don't dissuade patients from pursuing other more appropriate treatment paths once/if their situations improve to that point. I did not mean this as being the only concern or the primary concern afterwards. It was simply the concern I voiced because it was interesting to me when I thought about it and so I shared it.

I'm making assumptions so I may of course be wrong, but my guess is that the latter part of what I just talked about was what upset you. I didn't mean to imply that patients could simply change their situation and go after a different treatment paths. I simply meant that, in a world where the only consideration is treatment appropriateness, I thought it was worth considering the secondary effects app based treatment could have on patient treatment seeking. I didn't mean this to discredit app based treatments as a viable tool and I see no reason they couldn't work in isolation, synergistically with other treatments, or any other variation of "I'm sure they can work" that might be appropriate to this discussion. That seems to be the other interpretation you made from my post, that I was being dismissive of the app compared to other treatments, and this was not something I realized I was communicating. However, since, as far as I can tell, this was the reason you accused me of being churlish I thought it worth clarifying.

If a movie were to depict an explosion realistically, most of the audience would think there was something wrong about it.

I think that would be more applicable in the past, but now that there's plenty of real explosions you can see and hear on YouTube, a "movie explosion" probably sounds quite obviously... cinematic. The same goes for car crashes (which are in reality similar to your description of lightning: usually one loud bang, and then silence --- no tinkling of shrapnel or boomy bass echoes.)

In another incident they gave mentally disabled children radioactive materials in their breakfast and told them they were vitamins.

Yeah, I don't know why the littoral combat ship was such a big problem. It's for near-shore patrol, which has to be the easiest job any navy has to do. Even the really piddly ones have to deal with that, and they do so with a wide variety of patrol boats, corvettes, and frigates. The USN could have picked any one of dozens of designs in current operation, made a few tweaks for taste, and put them in service.

It's sort of criminal that they're even allowed to label bean juice as milk.

Im not 100% convinced of the necessity of drinking milk or that height is particularly a good proxy for health as a metric.

But vegans should be under no illusions that almond milk or soy milk is any kind of milk substitute. And if they're giving it to infants instead of breastfeeding or formula, it's borderline neglect.

I think that there a valid uses for them - soy milk is good for lower calorie lattes for example, and almond milk is delicious in oatmeal. But as a source of nutrition for growing children, they're pretty poor.

Not conclusively proven but there have been studies done that suggest taller people earn more money [0].

Taller people are also generally considered more attractive.

I am not symapthetic, and have no interest in extending a gesture of patronising charity for the sake of the greater cause - women's rights and equality. An important cause yes, but that isnt an automatic qualification to piggy back on anything that even might possibly be related to that topic.

The expression "mansplaining" is a trashy and sexist term, and when used falsely to condemn someone's likely innocent mistake is highly disrespectful. You want empathy and understanding of a viewpoint stemming from gender put-downs and unfounded accusations of sexism?

People need to hold in their sexism trigger finger for when it actually happens, not when some vague maybe and could-be circumstance provides an excuse to let out a wave of built up disapproval.

I work as a researcher on the Brain team.

An experienced machine learning researcher like Andrew Ng would probably not join the team as a Brain resident. We hire experienced machine learning researchers and engineers all the time (see https://careers.google.com/jobs#t=sq&q=j&li=20&l=false&jlo=e... ) and the residency program is probably not appropriate for people who are already experts. It is a program designed to help people become experts in machine learning.

For residents we look for some programming ability, mathematical ability, and machine learning knowledge. If an applicant knows absolutely nothing about machine learning, it would be strange (why apply?). We accept people who are not machine learning experts, but we want to be sure that people know enough about machine learning to be making an informed choice about trying to become machine learning researchers. Applicants need to have enough exposure to the field to have some idea of what they are getting into and have the necessary self-knowledge to be passionate about machine learning research.

You can see profiles of a few of the first cohort of residents here: https://research.google.com/teams/brain/residency/

Lumping all of soy, rice, almond, goat milk as "non-cow" is pretty unfair to goat milk.

Does their study indicate all milks in "other" independently showed similar difference in height of 1.5cm? Or are they saying the average for all other was -1.5cm in which case maybe kids on almond milk were -2cm and breast milk +1cm? And goat's milk some third number? My strong hunch is it is the latter in which case the 1.5cm is completely meaningless.

Here is another clue, the one example they give of nutritional differences cites soy milk's low protein while failing to mention that goat's milk has more protein than cow's milk.

Didn't read the original research but either the research is bad and possibly biased or this is very misleading reporting.

Artificial growth hormones may be banned, but endogenous ones[0] are unavoidable. Cow's milk evolved to make calves grow, this is not an avoidable minutia when attempting to comparatively characterize milk alternatives as stunting growth, but likely the central finding.
