That's a really important point about this not being a novel DNN, but I'm not sure how it addresses either of the main criticisms from the link I posted.

The first is that claiming this methodology outperforms humans is unfair; there's no expectation that Turkers are particularly good at identifying sexuality from photographs, they haven't been able to train in a remotely analogous way, and there's no comparison to "experts" in orientation recognition (if those exist).

The second is that the authors of this study use the differences extracted by VGG-Face to claim support for PHT, despite not applying an appropriate statistical test to the differences in the features between groups. This is the bigger scientific misstep in my mind, the willingness to make a strong, apparently controversial claim (I'm not too familiar with PHT or its history) without properly validating it.

Just lie or if you want to be a stick in the mud put $0 in the field and tell them to buzz off.

If they come back to you with "proof" that you had a lower salary just say that that didn't include your large yearly bonuses and that your previous salary was confidential anyway.

If their background check comes with a much lower salary they'll probably doubt the agency anyway. This information is supposed to be pretty protected and most people are probably just doing the old trick where they pretend to be someone interested in a job at your former company and ask about general compensation there.

Thank you for responding. You're right about the donations; I'm sure this pop-over exists across their site and is not inherently sinister, but including a call for donations specifically over this divisive, misleading press release irks me, because it seems to encourage people to wage scientific debate via lobbying rather than more research, which is the opposite of what the world needs right now (see: climate change). However, you're right that it's irrelevant to the actual debate here.

On a more specific note, claims like "The study assumed there were only two sexual orientations -- gay and straight -- and does not address bisexual individuals." (without mention that this is addressed in the paper and that better labels would likely improve results) and repeated hand-waving about hairstyles (without mention of the sections of the paper devoted to feature analysis which point to structural facial features giving the strongest signal to the model) do not present methodological flaws with the study and/or are misleading. Prof. Kosinski and Yilun Wang have issued a very polite rebuttal (here)[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UuEcSNFMduIaf0cOWdWbOV3N...] which details these and many other weaknesses with the press release. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone at GLAAD or HRC to understand what peer review means, and in fact, I'm sure they do.
Certainly that's strongest in New England. But I don't know most people are French-Canadian unless they tell me (especially given that intermarriage is pretty common so surnames aren't a reliable guide).
You are right that if this were attempted on day one by banning pregnancies by everyone except thirty-somethings, it would be a non-starter, because of the many unsolved health issues with pregnancies at that age. It wouldn't work if we put all the eggs in that basket. The strategy would be to gradually expand the range of sustainable, healthy ages to have pregnancies, so that the outer extremes eventually become part of the "heartland" range of sustainable pregnancies.

You could imagine a graph showing the percentage of pregnancies that occur at each age. The strategy would be to gradually move the percentages over time so that some percentage of sixteen year old pregnancies get shifted over into seventeen year old pregnancies, some seventeen year old pregnancies become eighteen year old pregnancies, and so on.

The goal is that, over time, there is escalating pressure to solve health problems that occur at later ages, problems that evolution currently has little incentive to address.
I jist went through this. The company used a firm called HireRight. They wanted to confirm my employment history, and get info on my past salary. I left those fields empty, and redacted salary info from other documents I had to provide them.
They also tried to get this info from my past employers, but no one in their right mind would disclose that to a random third party.
This hasn't caused any problems for me - turns out they want to hire me more than they want that info.

Religion isn't logic- it is indoctrinated superstition. There are no reasons to understand. Faith is undebatable.

Certainly being combative won't win anybody over, we all know that.

But there is no real understanding to be gained debating with someone who has derived their position from an ancient text they believe to be sacred. I don't care if their interpretation is "reasonable" or not...I just don't see how their divining rod should be entering public debate.

Anecdote, but a telling one: in my previous round of job-hunting, I had a success rate of exactly 0% with whiteboard coding interviews and a success rate of 100% with other interview methods. That's a pretty stark correlation.
Oh please. Social media was exploited and abused like never before during this election cycle. All the major social networks have become a breeding ground for extremism, geopolitical propaganda, and misinformation. The public has every right to know what role the operators of these platforms served, and what actions - if any - they took. How much did they know about it and when? Did they fight to maintain the integrity of their networks or were they complicit? Or did they simply turn a blind eye to protect their inflated user numbers and rip off the advertisers who use their platforms?

Nobody is accusing Zuckerburg of a crime, but his company has hardly been transparent or forthcoming about this either. The public deserves an explanation, not only from him, but the folks at Twitter and Reddit as well.

> race isn't just a social construct

Since a lot of people on the right seem to misunderstand this: the use of the phrase "social construct" is not a synonym "is entirely imaginary."

A good example is fiat currency. The US dollar is a social construct. It's an abstraction that exists because of another abstraction (the US government) that says it exists, and society's willingness to accept the US government saying that the US dollar exists. If we all drop dead from a pandemic tomorrow, the US dollar will cease to exist. If aliens show up on our abandoned world and start looking for US dollars, they won't find any. They'll find pieces of paper, some of which used to represent a small fraction of all the US dollars that used to exist; they'll also find plenty of pieces of paper that didn't represent valid US dollars at the time of the pandemic, that were counterfeit dollars, etc. But none of this means that the US dollar doesn't exist today, or that there aren't reasons why society does accept the US government saying "This piece of paper has meaning, this similar-looking piece of paper doesn't".

Race is a social construct based in actual biological reality, because actual biological reality is correlated with phenotypes and therefore with how society perceives you, and with origin and therefore with what social history you have.

I can't see myself buying another phone after buying an iPhone 6 in 2015. I just don't see a reason to replace it until the battery can't charge anymore. By then I don't have plans on getting an equivalent phone. Maybe something cheaper but I think purchasing phones every two years or the like is bad from an economical standpoint. I'd rather spend my money I'm better food than a fancier phone but I'm weird.

With smarter grids that support dynamic realtime pricing of electricy to end users, I think electric cars, home batteries and even appliances like fridges, refrigerators and washing machines can help balance supply and demand in the grids, using electricity, pausing consumption or pumping it back into the grid as needed.

The UK government recently performed an industry consultation on this subject and has released a plan to:

* remove barriers to smart technologies (such as storage and demand-side response)

* enable smart homes and businesses

* improve access to energy markets for new technologies and business models

Whether or not this car drives itself it's still damn ugly.

Tesla is going about making electric cars sexy.

So you won't find me interested even if it sings too.

Never-the-less, for all the folks the that don't mind ugly cars it's good to have competition to gather all the data to prove that driverless cars are safer.

I have to imagine this is part of a larger play for Amazon Fresh. Physical locations around the US acting as mini logistic centers for their Amazon Fresh drivers to pick up orders and/or compile orders.

Having worked remotely for the past few years, my experience has been that working remotely depends on the team itself as much as it depends on the individual's ability to work from home/remote.

The #1 factor that made the difference for me is how many others in the same team are remote. For Clarity (a team I lead), we decided early on to have a completely remote team. Few members of the team do work in HQ but most of them are remote. We wrote something about it here: https://medium.com/claritydesignsystem/working-remote-how-we...

Not to repeat the same post again but having the whole team remote with the option to gather every few months made a huge difference for us.

I've also worked remotely previously with a team that was mostly centered in one location, that wasn't a pleasant experience. Most of the decisions were still discussed outside of scheduled meetings and I constantly felt like an inconvenience to the team especially when having to setup communication and video conferencing tools at the beginning of each meeting just for me.

I always question whether humans are really any better at this calculation. In the gnome example, many people will probably stop to avoid damaging their property, not see the car behind them careening forward, and end up getting rear ended anyway. In an ideal world, ethical issues like the one you presented would be major hurdles but humans aren't going to be perfectly rational in the moment of many accidents, especially the most dangerous high-speed ones when there is physically not enough time to do ethical math.

> we all still get in cars believing we'll be better than other drivers. Who's going to get in a car when any given car has an equivalent chance of making a bad decision all on its own?

Given the fact that plenty of people take taxis, rely on Uber and Lyft drivers they've never met, and take public transportation like aircraft and trains with little knowledge of the operator, this seems like a non-issue to me.
> The earliest manuscripts of the gospel of Mark do not mention the resurrection at all.

Are you sure about that? My understanding is that the earliest manuscripts end at Mark 16:8, which ends with the women finding the empty tomb and being told by a young man in a white robe that Jesus has risen.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_16#Significance_of_ending...

and

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+16&version...

EDIT: the undisputed ending of Mark, which is up to verse 8 (Catholic version):

5 On entering the tomb they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right-hand side, and they were struck with amazement.

6 But he said to them, 'There is no need to be so amazed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he has risen, he is not here. See, here is the place where they laid him.

7 But you must go and tell his disciples and Peter, "He is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him, just as he told you." '

8 And the women came out and ran away from the tomb because they were frightened out of their wits; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Kinda seems like putting the cart before the horse though.

Despite what the mountain of "Autonomous vehicles are around the corner" PR articles say there's still a lot of problems to be worked out before we see any fully autonomous vehicles for sale.

And you need to work out your prototypes issues before you start mass producing something so that you mass produce something that you can actually sell.
I was driving a Cupra 290 on the Nurburgring last week and I kept getting caught out by the kick-down feature on the DSG gearbox - even in Cupra (sport) mode.

For example, I'd be exiting Breidscheid and the car would be in 4th instead of 3rd. Then there is then a good half second waiting for the DSG to downshift before power is available. In which time, I've just been overtaken by someone with a manual gearbox...
Reddit is still a cesspool and it's not like those people vanished. But there's a difference between giving those people a home, even if the intent is to quarantine them, and forcing them into the general population where hopefully they get shouted down. It's annoying when they're more visible but they become less of an organized movement.
When control of the modern public sphere is vested in the owners of social networks and internet infrastructure, that balance of power becomes rather lopsided.
Hmmm... sounds like exploitation.
The real question is how long until Amazon starts to raise the prices again? It's a smart PR move if you think about it. Lower prices to get more shoppers in the door and then slowly raise prices to pre sale values. They already know people will gladly pay the higher prices.
