> To be honest, this sounds reasonable to some extent.

Some - many, most? - of the people they will be questioning are completely innocent of a crime.

Imagine you are an innocent bystander in some political event and a group of policemen are holding you down while one of them tears your eyelids open with his fingers and forces your phone against your eye.

Does that sound reasonable to you?

And who gets to make this decision, some policeman, on the spot, in a busy crowd, on a bad day when he's been dealing with rioters? For any reason he likes?

This is just opening up a new avenue for police brutality and physical intimidation of minorities.

Look at stop and search in the US and how it is used (specifically, who it is used against), and it is far less invasive than this.

I think policemen should be standing up to oppose this and require the use of a court warrant, as is the current standard. I wonder how many will.

So true. The other advantage of a stable environment is better tools.

Education is going to be absolutely crucial for those who are currently performing retail work. I recently attended training by my church on this topic and one of the key focii at present is helping people get the education they need in order to become self-reliant, in any way that works for them. This has never been emphasized to this degree in the past, and the initiatives have enlarged scope from developing nations only to now include the US and Canada. Bachelor's degrees in e.g. web development from an accredited private religious university are offered for around $8K; courses in starting businesses and improving job prospects are offered on demand, etc. It is clear that there is a lot of need right now and the impact of the changing flow of business is being felt heavily.
>Some of the the other trance stuff is so far below in my opinion that don't belong together.

The trance stuff is not that "below" in quality, it's more of the "subjective opinion" thing that's not to taste, if not a reaction to automatically associate "trance == bad".

It's not like I linked to some cheesy GOA stuff. If you look at those "trance" pieces, the craftmanship and complexity is obvious, sometimes to the point that some "higher-quality" Aphex Twin part is just quick farting around with the equipment.

But that doesn't mean you necessarily get to keep the affected feature - the only 'work-around' might be to disable it. Consider TSX on Haswell and Broadwell, where Intel had to disable the whole feature because of a bug. And of course there was the 486 FP bug which couldn't be fixed by any kind of microcode update.

If Intel had to completely disable hyperthreading in Skylake and Kabylake that would make the premium anyone paid for i5 vs i7 worthless.

As I understand it, the point of an ORM is to make relational data look and feel more like the objects in my program; I shouldn't have to think about the consequences of my data living on the other side of a network connection. Even if that isn't the official point, it's at least a widely-held misunderstanding. If you're going to write code that uses the ORM this way, you're going to have a bad time, but if you write your code intelligently, you end up using your ORM as a glorified query builder.

I think an ORM makes more sense in a functional language since the interfaces are more likely to be declarative than imperative. For example, an in-memory List and a SQLQuery can both implement a filter() method that takes a function and applies it in the way most efficient to that data structure; in traditional OO languages, we usually loop over our in-memory structures explicitly, and doing that with a database is prohibitive.
Well, if a software bug leads to data corruption it is not really "allowed" as well. It is quite amazing that there are not more bugs like this. Intel spends an insane amount of money on very large teams of very smart people to work on these insanely complicated systems.

I don't think this is sustainable, and I think that massive arrays of relatively simple processors. First, we will need a culture shift that learns programmers to program concurrent programs from the start, and this will take a lot of time (because technology moves a lot faster than culture).

> ...whose instructors... cannot or will not accurately assess the correctness of a student's work?

Have you graded proofs? GP's approach is entirely sensible.

Proofs are written for humans. Writing a proof upside down is wrong, even if the derivation is correct.

The underlying cause of that incorrectness could be a simple matter of poor communication, or the student might have a more fundamental misconception about how implication works (and/or quantifiers). Sometimes the instructor knows enough about the student to determine which is the case. Sometimes it's impossible without talking to the student. Hence the long note and (perhaps implicit) invitation to office hours.

I can't find anything in GP's post that indicates he "cannot or will not accurately assess the correctness of a student's work", aside from the obvious impossibility of projecting a multi-objective assessment of a fundamentally human task onto an integer in [0,100].

If anything, GP provides an excellent example of why auto-grading for upper division courses -- especially courses that are trying to teach students how to write for a human audience -- will probably require fundamental scientific advances in AI in addition to innovation on top of existing tech stacks. My money's on self-driving cars happening first.

If you want to know how people really feel, look at where they send their kids rather than they say/say they will do in online debates. Again, University of Phoenix et al have been around for a while.

> My fear is that will strip the money needed for grad programs-- where the real learning and research happens-- and the modern uni will fall like a house of cards.

Masters programs are cash cows.

Top Ph.D. programs usually aren't appreciably funded through undergraduate programs. And when they are, it's almost always backed by Ph.D. student labor. Which is crazy cheap, and which startups are going to have a very hard time competing with.

> Short digression: It's been interesting to read the criticisms of Uber on HN.

The same is true of higher education :-)

Yes, proofs by contradiction appeal to new mathematics students because one can just wander around until a contradiction pops up and then you're done! Of course, these meandering proofs are harder to understand, and it's easier to make mistakes when there are lots of unnecessary derivations along the way.

I've always found proofs in algebra and topology to be less intuitive and consequently often had to resort to trying to find a proof by contradiction and then unraveling it for its essential elements to make a better, clearer proof. Proofs in combinatorics (often by contradiction) don't even seem to have an better, clear proof buried inside; they are just essentially inscrutable.

> it's not just nerdy white males who play video games nowadays

Not to defend them or anything but the irony is that your indignant reaction illustrates precisely why your viewpoint is so unwelcome to gamers.

Having observed the games industry over many years, the gaming public really does want their comic book-like power fantasies and unrealistic heroes and heroines. The rather unsubtle ways that developers tend to shoehorn diversity into games or self-censor in the name of diversity[0], often at the behest of people like you, damages their immersion in the game regardless of whether they are morally right to feel that way or not. And then people come along and lambaste them for feeling that way, as above. That's not going to win any friends.

One cannot cram broccoli into a filet mignon and persuade people that it's just as good nor can one attempt to dictate what people should think by slipping a message into their entertainment, from their viewpoint, and not expect ferocious backlash.

[0] To avoid being pilloried, I will say this very explicitly: the point is not that diversity is bad. (Perish the thought.) The point is that its representation in media is often done very badly.

Strandberg use stainless frets and carbon neck reinforcement on everything but the entry-level Classic model. Stainless frets are a $40 option on any Kiesel and carbon reinforcement is standard on any of their extended-range guitars. The Strandberg headpiece and bridge is made in-house; Kiesel use custom headless hardware designed in collaboration with Hipshot. Strandberg use fanned frets throughout their range and Kiesel offer it as an option on most of their solid-body guitars.

There are merits to both the neck-through construction used on the Kiesel Vader and the bolt-on joint used by Strandberg. Through-necks are arguably more stable, but bolt-ons are far easier to maintain and repair.

The Strandberg neck profile is anything but conventional:

There's nothing terribly wrong with wood construction. It's aesthetically pleasing, relatively economical and more than strong, stiff and stable enough when used appropriately.

>how does it feel up on that high horse?

It feels great. It's called culture, and being aware of it, not a blind consumer of what tastes good (McDonalds tastes good too).

>there are no absolutes in music (as an art form)

No, but human culture has, and always had, a way to prfioritize what's important and what's not besides mere consumption or influence (crap has also influenced a lot of imitators).

>Dylan himself probably never thought he'd be as important a musician as his heroes - Elvis, Little Richard, etc. but now they are all in the same conversation.

That's irrelevant though, because it's not the artist that determines their own worth but their work, its quality, and its cultural impact.

Wind power is built and operated by massive multinationals too and their money is just as good as anyone elses. If politicians are interested in getting donations, I'm not sure why they would strangle a new industry rather than profiting from it themselves.
Almost all signal can have most of it's information expressed as a sine wave, but it's the jitter in the wave that has all the 'important' information. There's a fallacy where getting the majority of certain types of information leaves you blind to the important but "smaller" types. I think medicine and personal health is one such domain where this fallacy is abundant.

The weakness of heuristics is that they don't turn into reusable models but vice versa models can leave you blind. The constant disdain for heuristics is a huge weakness of many scientifically minded people IMO.

Transforming a statement using a series of equavilence transforms into an always true statement isn't a valid proof? After all, you've shown that the original statement is the same as a true statement. Isn't that a valid proof as well? It is often easier to go in that direction, since you have a clear starting point. In the other direction, you'd have to guess from where to start.

The trade-off is modularity. During development working with CTEs paves the way for establishing views later, possibly highlight recurring requirements or gaps in the schema, and the logical separation of general purpose sets (ie functions) from the specifics of a particular query is valuable.

Like in everything, a balance is ideal. For reporting/analysis/testing purposes, I think nesting views and CTEs is more productive in the long run, while production application code is probably best kept as straightforward as possible.
At the core of your argument is this premise:

> Corporations would be forced to do so if illegal immigration didn't keep wages down.

But no one is forcing corporations to hire undocumented immigrants over people authorized to work here; in fact, they're pressured not to. It's illegal!

That's why "illegal immigration" is cast as a racist issue: it's often a hand-wavey dog whistle blaming people of color for economic issues while absolving (generally white-owned) businesses of any responsibility.

Because populism doesn't say much. One can find tens of millions supporting any kind of trash in all areas of public life (wanna talk about politics for example?).

Informed opinions matter more than uninformed ones, and we're beyond the point that the merit of Taylor Swift vs Dylan (or sugary constructed commercial pop for quick consumption and singing songwriting that defined a generation and then some and made it to the Nobel) is seriously argued.
