Sorry, I did not consider Gallo to be wine :)

Fair point however.

I have found in the last couple of years some makers have started to move to more of a French style. In the world of whites, the cougar juice is giving way to a better old world style wine.

I agree there are some suspect fruit bombs out there that people think wine should taste like. I hope that is changing.

Some comments are focusing on this exacerbating aggregate phenomena like diversity stats and wage gaps. This is true and a huge negative.

But that's not the only thing we should be worried about. Far more damaging would be the dystopia that these "cognitive surveillance" products will bring upon us.

It claims to micro-analyze facial expressions, intonation, non-verbal signals while the candidate is interviewing. This is vile, hostile interaction in my opinion, and it is startling to see that companies like Vodafone, Intel, and Oracle are their customers [1].

At best, this is a way to sweep unaccountable decision-making under the carpet of "the software said so".
Quite likely, though, is that such products will make society a living hell for everyone until these practices are entrenched in the industry and it is too late to roll it all back.

The creators of these products are not stupid, they made a conscious choice to grab low-hanging fruit (now that they have the technology available) and enrich themselves while making the world a worse place. Let's not kid ourselves that the consequences of their actions did not occur to them.

As a research student in DL/AI, I realize this may make things marginally worse for my career, but right here is the reason we should regulate AI usage _now_: not Skynet, but these attempts to "disrupt" social norms for no stated reason other than "progress" and "efficiency".
We should keep some technologies out of the public sphere and make it vocally clear that they are unacceptable, lest we end up with a world where everyone is wearing google glasses and you have no way to maintain a personal facade because some combination of blood flow and facial muscle twitch betrays your thoughts.

Your only argument against this stuff should not only be that it has X bug or that it's execution isn't sound due to Y bias. We must oppose such things on principle, I would rather kill myself than live in some sort of Black Mirror-esque dystopia where this is mainstream.

There's no observable evidence for an internal experience in humans either. Each person just extrapolates that belief from their own consciousness. That is what got us into the silly position that animals don't possess consciousness in the first place.

"The era of blind faith in big data must end" | TED Talk |

https://www.ted.com/talks/cathy_o_neil_the_era_of_blind_fait...

"Algorithms decide who gets a loan, who gets a job interview, who gets insurance and much more -- but they don't automatically make things fair. Mathematician and data scientist Cathy O'Neil coined a term for algorithms that are secret, important and harmful: "weapons of math destruction." Learn more about the hidden agendas behind the formulas."

...

"Algorithms are everywhere. They sort and separate the winners from the losers. The winners get the job or a good credit card offer. The losers don't even get an interview or they pay more for insurance. We're being scored with secret formulas that we don't understand that often don't have systems of appeal. That begs the question: What if the algorithms are wrong?"
first problem is if you have 20 modals you want not to copy paste over and over again.

Of course, but you can trivially generate the required divs in JS, and you can easily track the number of current modals displayed and set the z-index to ensure proper stacking if necessary.

Other than that, what you put in the modal in terms of HTML content or rendering a template presumably works the same way as any other part of your UI. There's nothing magic about the fact that this particular div happens to be styled as a modal dialog.

For non basic modals you also need events to know if user accepted or dismissed the modal, you want the Escape key to also work, you want the option to allow or not closing the modal when clicking outside of it

OK, so you need two callback functions, a couple of buttons to proceed or cancel, and possibly a couple of event handlers for keyboard and mouse/touch events.

Again, you surely have something to render buttons and handle their events for your UI more generally anyway. Other than that, the only thing special about the modal is that maybe you're connecting a couple of other events to the same handler logic as the explicit cancel button.

Really, none of this is difficult, nor does it need anything like thousands of lines of code just to handle modal dialogs. You could code everything we've been talking about here from scratch in a few minutes, and you could integrate it straightforwardly with any UI library I can think of if you're already using something else to render templates or handle input events. If you already have something available that will save you those few minutes, great, go right ahead and use it, but let's not pretend this is some tricky problem that requires a lot of thought and a lot of code written by experts. It's an elementary exercise in UI design, which I'd expect any junior dev to handle easily.
> atheism seems to require a lot more faith than theism.

There is a world of difference between thinking something caused our universe to exist and perhaps giving it the name "god", and believing in a specific god or specific claims about any god.
This is only true if the two genes are correlated in success. I have faith such traits do exist, and many of them, but I am not immediately convinced most traits interesting to businesses would be revealed this way.

Also, your example of laziness is classic thinking yourself out of quality employees: laziness is good for identifying waste and inefficiency and for creating scaling automation. So it's not even clear if "laziness" is interesting without context to businesses.

Of course, it could also entail lack of work ethic.

No UK politician would openly say that they wanted to privatise the NHS. But what they are doing is solidly along the lines of the US modal. That is, to turn the rump of the NHS into a Medicaid/Medicare provider with the bulk of healthcare borne by private insurance.

I may be wrong of course - what is your interpretation of what is happening with the NHS? Perhaps you think it's being run well, and that tax payers need not fear the threat of having to buy private health insurance or rely on employer support?

>Unlimited? It doesn't carry the stores.

The F22 is nearly 2000 km/h faster than the Sea Fury, and the turn around time is said to be on the order of 20 minutes. In the time it takes the Sea Furys to go to the target, do their business, and go home you're looking at 3+ F22 sorties each hitting a nearly guaranteed 12 kills (maximum anti-air missile load with twinning racks) plus however many they can kill with 480 rounds of 20mm cannon fire.

So yes, damn near unlimited. That's what happens when the enemy can kill a dozen pilots every 20 minutes with no fear of retaliation. You get a bloodbath.

>Worse with the F35 which has no gun and can only carry 2 missiles without losing stealth.

Why do people who know nothing about planes instantly forget that fact the moment the F-35 is brought up?

The F-35A does have a cannon, while the F-35B and C have the option for an external cannon pod. The F-35 can carry four missiles in its internal bays, not two.
That's a fair point and a distinction I didn't entirely understand.

Operational complexity. For a carrier the size of Verizon to build an authoritative list of prefixes to advertise they would have to have a registration process for every single customer, peer, etc that was both reliable and up to the minute. That list would have to be compiled and driven on a near constant basis to many tens of thousands of routers and potentially hundreds of thousands of BGP sessions.

It's not that this isn't doable, but it touches far more process in far more places than might be obvious and potentially requires additional capacity/capability on a lot of hardware. For a giant network this all means a great deal of time and money. Should they do it? Absolutely. Is it cheap/easy? Absolutely not. More cynically, does the potential cost and disruption of doing the right thing map favorably against their view of the risk of NOT doing it? Unknown.
I remember Vodafone UK using this (at least the HireVue video interview thing, not sure if the AI-based approach described here was used). I turned it down straight away - if they can't bother allocating one hour of an interviewer's time for me then I shouldn't spend one of my own time for them.
Which part is wrong? That seems to me like a standard procedure to take an identifying photo of someone while making sure that it's really a living human head.
Just to nitpick a little: The peak efficiency seems to be around 2500nm, and it's pretty flat between 2000 and 3000. Above 2500 nm, you have to compare to distance/2, since you compare between 1 and 2 legs. Example: compare the efficiency at 3000nm and 2*1500nm. The cutoff is slightly higher than 2500nm. But not far from 3000nm. Coincidentally London-NYC is 3000nm. So anything longer than that could be split off (if you don't take a detour to do so).
Hmm, really it was more like a geometric progression. David Gelernter has commented on the lack of familiarity art/architectural historians have with terminology like "recursive" or "self-similar" (I prefer the latter because it leaves room for the judgements and conspicuous non-exact applications of recursion in architecture): https://www.edge.org/response-detail/10574

Also this, and the article it was saved from, bringing music and the proportions of the human body into the equation: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/358317714073877302/

Finally this:
"Every society has seen architecture as something that transcends its functional role, as a diagram of the cosmos,"

https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/architecture-design...

Edit: I'm an architecture historian so I didn't mean it if I came across as pompous -- but that Gelernter link conveys a weird sense of CS being superior to the art historians, and at the same time makes more of recursive patterns in physical architecture than is justified. I have mixed feeling about this projection of the ideas of one field on to another: something like the Sierpinski gasket is not good architecture, and it takes a real expert in building to understand the difference, not a mathematician/computer scientist who can spot recursion. So my possibly contentious point was that a schematic reading of architecture as recursive (or even cosmic) is valid but also kind of the most superficial non-aesthetic form of thinking about architecture...
This isn't something I know a huge amount about -- could you elaborate?

I think you're right. Moon and I exchanged a little mail about it a few years ago. He wrote to tell me he liked Bard, my Dylan-influenced Lisp, and I think he said PLOT wasn't implemented.

Interestingly, he also said he had a solution to class linearization that was superior to C3, but that he couldn't remember the details. I asked for more information, but he said that if he still had the notes they were in the attic or something.

I'd still like to see his solution.

This leads to some pretty scary questions. What about different cultures? Everyone has different ways of speaking, acting, living. What if the app considers something bad behavior, and it's just a cultural difference? Or it's how someone was raised?

Maybe the biggest question we should ask is what does this solve? What problem is this trying to solve? And once we figure that out, ask ourselves... is that the problem we should be solving? Is it the best way to solve it?

C++/QT may be great, but a lot of the JS question boils down to website creation, rather than app creation.

I dumped node.js on the server site like a hot potato. At the time (2014), it didn't scale well and was quite porous dealing with stuff you'd get free in a framework like django (like db-backed form validation).

But, I can't say I regret learning JS. You won't be able to do the job developing websites if you can't wrangle it. It's so ubiquitous, despite my efforts to keep a node-free codebase, I still had to cave in. Even if it's just getting your foot in the door using SCSS. Or wiring in that jQuery plugin.

Whether it's situational awareness or dealing with webpack configurations, getting that last 10% cinched is going to require understanding what's going on.

What I think people need to know about JS is that they shouldn't just drink the Kool Aid because everyone else seems to.

Is there any actual sound peer reviewed research indicating the results of their predictive system will lead to more great hires? Cus it didn't seem so in the article. The article made it seem like HireVue is working off some false causal relationship assumption where the best hires performed like this in their interview therefore we should compare all new hires to them without any shred of evidence showing that this type of interview performance indicates a good hire.

Implying that the original poster's blog post is going to be lowering the SNR of the Internet is a really shitty thing to say.

There are four options:

1. This is a truly novel. The author writes a blog post.

2. This is not novel. The author finds some prior art, and writes a blog post about his own work but referencing the earlier work.

3. This is not novel. The author doesn't find out, and writes a blog post. Someone possibly responds pointing them to the relevant prior art.

4. This is not novel. The author finds the earlier research, is discouraged, and decides not to write a blog post.

The only bad option here is 4. So exactly what is additional research going to achieve at this point? (There is of course a point to doing the research before inventing your own algorithm. Or you can do it because this kind of CS archaeology is fun. But it doesn't really have a lot of value).
Well, OK, but by that argument almost anything is just an upgrade issue, so I'm not sure that really gets us anywhere.

In particular, it doesn't solve the practical problem that even with all the recent developments in the JS ecosystem, as things stand today a lot of front-end web developers don't have access to language features and programming techniques that are widely available in other environments.

Unfortunately, this is just an inherent problem in the way that web tools have been repurposed for more general software development: the developers don't control a significant part of the infrastructure, so they will always have to code to the least common denominator among their target market.

Hey, thanks for chiming in, not offended at all, these discussions are good.

In terms of what happens on animal farms and slaughter houses, you should check out the 'Earthlings' documentary I posted. Most meat that is consumed comes from factory farms. Those places are hell holes.

In terms of humanely killing, I think it's an oxymoron, the same way that 'humane oppression' is an oxymoron. Animals don't want to be killed. Humans don't need meat anymore to survive, so why are we continuing to oppress and exploit these beings? Could you kill and slaughter an animal? If not, why demand that others do it for you?

I see more and more people waking up to this fact and researching this and finding out that everything they believed was misguided, e.g. needing meat to be strong etc. One of the strongest person (Patrick Baboumian) on the planet is vegan, and more athletes are also becoming vegan.

If we create more demand for plant based foods, we will see more options in stores. Here in Europe, even Aldi and Lidl have vegan products now.
It clearly wasn't their demise either. My point being that people - including myself - form very strong opinions about what "works" and "doesn't work", while failing to acknowledge the bigger picture.

Companies with this kind of global presence have a better way to measure marketing impact than reading through random Hacker News comments. For what's worth, I think the concept for Snapchat is stupid and I can't see a single use for it, and yet... they managed to get to an IPO.

The root of the problem is over production in both France and Spain (and Italy) in bulk wine and lower tier of everyday wines, combined with lowering consumption in all of those traditional wine consuming countries.

Production of these wines are not very labor intensive: harvest is done mechanically, pruning is semi automated and most of the other operations are either not done or automated. All of those vineyards use irrigation to increase yields. Those are not very interesting wines, but we are talking about approx. 0.5 euros per litre (when buying in bulk) wines.

It is not that they can't compete against it, they just want to make sure they have market for themselves as it is saturated.

That makes no sense. My argument is very narrow, clearly applies here, and I don't see how it applies to "almost anything".

Difference between messing with mains wiring and messing with high capacity batteries and/or solar panels is that mains always has some kind of fuse somewhere on the power company side and thus you will not see circuit that is completely unfused and will supply high currents until something blows up spectacularly and dangerously. This holds for significantly smaller things than DIY powerwall, eg. car batteries and even batteries for desktop UPSes.

Edit: for instance accidently shorting net 30 to ground when working on car electrics might well end in the car being completely destroyed by ensuing fire (I have friend who totalled his car in this way, he is licensed electrician). On new cars the fuse between 30 and 30a is usually placed directly on the battery to prevent exactly this issue, but even 30a will supply enough current to wreak havoc.
