No, that's a closed shop, which has been illegal in the US since 1947. The usual arrangement in the US is a "union shop", where new non-union employees can be hired, but must join the union. In "right to work" states (mostly the ones that used to have slavery), union shops are prohibited.

Conversely if this the canonical failure case, why's everyone so harsh on Watson?

Because they keep claiming Watson can handle this kind of thing, they charged $60M for it, and failed.

That was $60M which could be spent on actual, real cancer research, or models which actually work.

For example, MSKCC[1] currently has a Kaggle competition[2] to do a roughly analogous task. The prize for that is $15,000, and they'll get something more useful for that than MD Anderson did for $60,000,000. Even taking into account it is probably costing MSKCC double the prize to have Kaggle run the competition it seems like IBM was ripping everyone off.

100% Agree. And this is my 2 cents of WHY:

Basically all current investments are high-risk in the age we live in, because we are "at the brink of the chasm" on all fronts:

- general technology: ...the barriers to market are so low that a startup can spring to being at any moment and eat all your profits away

- (social) media / communication: anything can change anytime, today's Facebook can be tomorrow's Hi5

- biotech: we're getting closer to the "you can do it your garage stage" which will change everything

- world politics: India and China are big players now and their moves can no longer be predicted, also US internal politics is a cauldron of volatility, and in a decade or two we'll have the "New Africa" rising... good luck predicting anything

- ML/AI: we might be at the brink of f Singularity with superhuman-AI around the corner... but we have no idea whether it will be in 5 years or 100 years (!) ...this alone is enough to fuck up all worldwide future prediction on anything... when you're staring up from somewhere around the foot of an exponential curve everything looks like "wtf, nothing makes sense"

And also, the last economic "crisis" increased everyone's aversion to risk, kind of the opposite of what you'd need now to increase level of investment...

What needs to change is the attitude of people with money towards risk! I'd love to see people like Elon Musk succeed long-term, not because I like them or what they are doing, but because they are the only ones with an attitude that can create growth right now.

We should really re-learn thinking and working with volatility, maybe starting from what Nassim Taleb says in his Antifragile (https://www.amazon.com/Antifragile-Things-That-Disorder-Ince...) and his talks like How to Live in a World we Don't Understand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEnmjMgP_Jo - warning: he's a terrible speaker... and not a great writer either, so getting to the root of his ideas will take time). Maybe not. But current "risk reduction" attitude cannot work (hint why: even if you reduce Infinity by 20% you still have f Infinity!).

> Very true. But any analysis that emphasizes writing code over maintaining it will systematically bias itself in favor of dynamic typing.

This is not what the studies do. There is no emphasis on anything. They look at how people do on a number of different tasks with different typing options and report the results.

Also, it's not just dynamic vs. static typing. Gradual and soft typing is also of interest, because it allows you to turn dynamically typed code into statically typed code without a complete rewrite.
Please don't trust any Chinese company will protect your data, because even my company will sale or buy some personal data, we will gather as much data as we can.
You are absolutely right that the de jurie restrictions are not comparable. It's difficult to imagine a fully-functioning, sensible adult who can look at the official-ish Chinese position(s) and not object.

However, it is not entirely unreasonable to compare the end results. There is definitely a chilling effect in the USA, effecting many of the very people who are best in a position to blow a whistle. And that this has been accomplished without the appearance of a draconian overreach is itself part of that chill.

I always assumed the Go developers were more worried about the effect of this feature on compilation time than binary size. After all, Go shipped static binaries only for years. But making the type checker more intelligent is going to imply more time spent type checking. It could also add time to parsing unless they choose the syntax carefully.
The best subreddits have good moderators though. For the same thing, you'd need knowledgable and strict moderators to make the tags accurate.
I assume that my downvoters do not believe this can be done in a conventional static type system. So I will try to explain further.

> The problem munificent was talking about is that for more complex types you cannot write that type checking predicate you want, which would check if a value belongs to the given type and return a variant-free version of the object.

The complexity of the type should not matter to a sound type system. Assume a "fromVariant" function that unpacks the variant, it has a type: forall a. Variant -> Maybe a. Maybe is either Nothing or Just a, depending on whether the variant does indeed contain what you expect it to contain.

> if you have a reference to an array of integers in the typed part of the code you need to protect against untyped parts of the code inserting non-integers inside the array.

This "protection" is exactly what static type systems do. "Untyped code" in the context of using a static type system, is code that works with variants. So we need to pack the array of integers into a variant, where they will be suitably tagged by the runtime. The "untyped code" is free to write whatever it wants into a variant, so we must unpack it with runtime checks. The static type system forces us to unpack and assert its contents, before we can assign a specific type to it.

> The only solution is to insert typechecks in the reads and/or writes to the array

I am not sure what you mean here. When the array is packed into a variant then it can indeed be modified into anything by "untyped" code. But it should always be tagged correctly, which is the responsibility of the runtime.
It will need to be re-asserted when unpacked into a specific type.

> A similar problem happens with functions

Functions should be values like any other, so my points apply to them too.

The point I have been trying to make, is that a conventional static type system will already allow for "gradual typing". I cannot see a need to use an unsound type system in order to achieve this goal.
If the claim that higher supply doesn't lower prices is accurate, and if we assume that higher density means a higher efficiency regarding city services (which has been historically true), then increasing supply seems like an obvious move since you increase tax revenue which could be directed towards social services that help soften the harshness of the SF housing market.
Type annotations are brilliant for documentation, and it does matter if they're checked or not, because otherwise they're just comments, and we all know comments become wrong over time. If the compiler doesn't enforce your type annotations you can't trust them.

The sweet spot for me at the moment is a language which is fundamentally static but has good type inference so that you don't actually have to mention types all the time.

Haskell's pretty good at this, although because it's possible to write many Haskell programs without actually mentioning a single type anywhere it can be a pain to read the results. Rust deliberately constrained type inference so that you have to have type annotations on functions, which makes sure your interfaces don't get too murky when reading the code.

I'll go with the idea in another reply that static typing really starts to show its benefit in long-lived code bases under maintenance.

Certainly a static type checker makes refactoring a lot easier, in my experience.

Anything that IBM puts out remember they are a consulting company, so they want to generate a huge brand name. That allows them to charge the consulting prices they need to charge to make this business work for them. IBM Watson is a collection of sort-of-working AI related APIs, but it gets A LOT of press. If they can create an AI brain, then people will believe they can do anything for them in the tech arena and that's the goal.

Comparing the gross salaries of employees between countries is meaningless. You are e.g. comparing after employer taxes, which have large differences between countries.

To meaningfully compare countries you need to either compare the gross wage costs per employee that a company actually faces or compare the net income of employees after all taxes. And correct for purchasing power of course.

If businesses were structured for high turnover, then we'd have to structure society for it too. This means providing all of the normal benefits to people via government services. Then, all employers would simply bid on workers with piece work or hourly contracts. People would continue having their medical care, food, and housing covered by the government, perhaps from a basic income.
Is It Apt to Apply Bad Credit Long Term Installment Loans Online?
I respectfully disagree. The "right membrane" around any untyped value is a Variant type. A static type system would then stop you making any assumptions without unpacking and asserting its type. If we don't want variants and just want to defer type errors until runtime, then this is possible too (GHC Haskell can do this).

No, you can't look at a simple statistic like that and draw broad conclusions.

Yes, about 200k jobs are added per month. The question you have to ask yourself, the question that actually matters, is this: what kinds of jobs are those? Are we talking about well-paying white collar jobs with benefits that turn into stable careers, or temporary, low-paying jobs with no benefits that typically represent underemployment?

I think the reason for that enthusiasm is not so much that it's the new hotness (although it is some people's first encounter with the idea), but that it's now available in a mainstream language that their employer will actually let them use (in about five years when they finally bother upgrading Visual Studio).

The word 'alcoholic' gets tossed around a lot without ever seeming to be defined. Some people seem to define it as 'someone who regularly has more than the recommended 4 standard drinks in one sitting' and some define it as 'someone who is destroying their life and health because they cannot stop drinking'.

The definition I tend to use is just 'someone who is unable to stop drinking if they choose to'. But then, I'm like you - I can choose not to drink if I want to, but I enjoy the way alcohol makes me feel, so I keep doing it (although far less than I used to).

If your family can't continue "functioning" (like in pay rent maybe for a smaller place, pay for medical, pay for children's education) with only 1 active member working (your wife), you're living waaaay above the level you should be living at... Only one gaining form this is your employer because he knows you're "job addicted" and he can basically make you do anything. You're in a really bad deal, even if you're "livin' the dream" and not noticing it.

My observation in the US is that there is a pretty big gap in perception of how professionals or managers should be paid versus ordinary workers. You'll find people who would never consider paying workers more than minimum wage, and yet consider the bills from lawyers and consultants perfectly reasonable.

Part of it seems to be a general belief that some sorts of expensive professionals are better, much like how people assume pricey wine tastes better, but I suspect most of it's just class issues.
