My town experienced a disaster a few years ago and volunteers responded with heavy equipment to help within an hour. FEMA took 3 days and there was nothing left to do. I'm not going to go as far as saying FEMA should just be disbanded, but stopping volunteers from helping after just reading the story you read? I'm not sure what that's supposed to achieve.
While I'm almost always bullish on new tech, self-driving cars are one where I frankly have a pretty hard time buying into the hype. I think when they really start to hit the streets, some issues are going to show up.

Here's what I mean. Imagine this situation:

You're pulling into your driveway in your self-driving car, and one of your kids left a lawn gnome there, blocking it. The car won't go forward because there's an obstacle.

Simultaneously, a driver looking at their phone and not paying attention comes careening down the road. They're clearly going to rear-end you, hard. You COULD just pull forward and out of the way.....but the car won't, because of the lawn gnome. It can't know the lawn gnome doesn't matter in comparison to the damage your car is about to suffer.

Imagine this flip scenario:

You're pulling into your driveway in your self-driving car, and one of your kids, a toddler, is in your way. The car won't go forward because there's an obstacle. Otherwise, same situation as above. Now, you ABSOLUTELY do NOT want to pull forward, because you'd rather get rear-ended than run over your child.

Even if you want to nitpick this exact scenario, surely you can think of a hundred similar contexts yourself, where driving involves understanding the value of different pieces of the car's immediate environment. A car cannot know the value of a child versus a lawn gnome, nor can it reliably detect the difference.

Even if such a situation only arises once in a thousand days of driving, with hundreds of millions of people on the road everyday, that's thousands of times per day. That's really bad.

Is it statistically better than the amount of harm done by human drivers? Possibly. But 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? It's just like getting in a car with a drunk driver.

Who's going to sign up for that? Not me, that's for sure.

It's not necessarily going to lead to much higher peaks. Most EVs do not need to charge continuously from the moment the owner gets home until the owner leaves home the next morning. Simply time-shifting the bulk of charging to, say, between 9 pm and 6 AM would enable vehicle charging without boosting peaks on the California grid:

It's even better for places where renewable generation is more weighted toward wind than solar, like Texas, because wind output tends to peak while people are sleeping and demand is otherwise low:

"And the Google example is relevant because the primary reason it became so useful was that the semantics of the anchor tag lent themselves well PageRank, which was useful well before they had a "whackload of machine learning and language analysis" in play."

I'm talking about how Google now knows business hours and addresses and other such things about local businesses. It isn't because local businesses went in and labeled their HTML semantically. I was interacting with one business a couple of months ago that literally left the stock photos of restaurants up on their webpage that look nothing like their current location, and didn't care, because as far as the business owner was concerned, if the menu was up, the website was basically done.

"It's probably fair to say the semantic web is about trying to make your data accessible."

I'm not just using the Semantic Web in a vague way. I'm using it in the way in which the term was used ~2005 (and a few years in each direction), when the religiousity around declarative CSS and such was at its fever pitch. It was not just a vague desire that somebody find something useful; people literally thought someday you'd be able to do things like

import semantic
print semantic.Website("http://www.chilis.com/").Get("CEO")

and that the "semantic" would not require what it does today, which is "a whackload of ML and online services", but would all work with glorious web standards.

It failed. It failed hard. It failed so hard and so big that there's still people who haven't processed its failure, because they still think something like "it hasn't been tried", without realizing that that's how hard it failed... it was such a failure that it wasn't even a thing that could be tried because it was too impractical. But every once in a while the idea still pops up like a shambling zombie that doesn't realize it's been made dead twice over.

CSS itself isn't vestigial, but a lot of aspects of its design are, including a lot of people's vague hopes about how maybe someday it'll sort of kinda become "Semantic" someday if we just keep hoping hard enough, despite its decade+ record of failure on that front. If somehow the web had been nothing but style tags until today, and we set out to replace CSS, I seriously doubt the result would be CSS again; it would probably be a JS extension.
Home batteries would have to hold more than the car.

This will still put the baseline of the grid higher, just averages it out possibly taking more when its a good time.
I think batteries should be hosted/hooked up by the power company, so they can attach them to a power management system. (I think that already exists)

I left out the "where will we get all this power" part, because that is already discussed a lot. I just wonder if the power grid will be able to handle this immense increase in usage, even if spread out. You still need to transport it.

edit: I think the powering down of offices and business makes enough room for the evening to use more.

Not the op, but the big thing is that the styles are just strings instead of a JS object so you lose a lot of the modularity and composability benefits of writing it "in" JavaScript.

The syntax was also awkward to me at first:

const StyledLink = styled(Link)`
color: palevioletred;
font-weight: bold;
`;

I thought in JS you couldn't invoke a function without the parenthesis, but apparently you can if you interpolate the string with backticks first? I've done a lot of JS development and I've never seen that before, so while it's nice that it's cleaner it just got in my way of understanding what's going on. I'd rather just do:

const StyledLink = styled(Link)({
color: "palevioltred",
fontWeight: "bold"
})

It looks basically the same but is immediately intuitive and much more powerful since the styles are objects instead of a string.

I think the expectation is that as the grid slowly gets "smart" this will reduce the peaky-ness of demand generated by electric car charging. If the price of a kWh is dynamic based on current use then the combination of smart charging stations & locally installed batteries should even things out a lot.

Obviously the total consumption will increase dramatically. If this shift takes place the society-wide energy mix will include a lot less petrol/gasoline/diesel and lot more electricity.

Hopefully the prices of solar & wind will continue to fall and the shift in this mix will be massively to the advantage of the environment - and to the quality of life in our cities.
I think you're really idealizing these subreddits here. The way reddit works, the downvoting of dissent will never be seen, that's the problem. (Generally a pro of reddit, but not in this case). Dissent will get sorted out of the comments section by default, and the arguer banned. The nature of these extremist groups is not to have an open forum for discussion.

There is not a public record to be examined and ruminated on, on the contrary it's a situation where you can go and see "oh 151,400 subscribers to fatpeoplehate, this is normal behavior", or (more likely) people who never view comments will just start to see jokes about killing the obese on their front page feed.

There's a difference between 'saving people from unpleasant speech' and providing an echo chamber to hate speech along side the company's incredibly popular other content.

I don't see the connection to antivaxxer logic, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt there?

Just to be clear I'm not advocating that we ban all 'unpleasant speech' from the internet, but I do think siloing it off so you really have to be looking for it works, and that there's significant evidence to back that up.

In reddit's case in particular, many of the banned subreddits were using smart tactics like brigading and vote manipulation to amplify their numbers, and push the 'this is normal' message even further, although that's somewhat orthogonal to what we're arguing about.

My partner works in HR. If you have given them a salary figure previously and they do this check and find you have lied then they can withdraw their offer.

This is why this check is in with the background check and why you should never give salary history to a potential employer.

They will still contact your previous employer but all that they will confirm is whether you worked there, no one will give out your previous salary. And no, I wouldn't give any supporting docs as per patio.
Professors aren't the ones dealing with undergraduates, it's the administration. The administration is answering to the MIT Corporation and the Board of Directors, whose interest has long become to grow the "investment vehicle" (endowment, professorial industry nexus, bureaucracy, etc.) through commercial and real-estate ventures, patents, and the cultivation of the brand. Students, graduate or undergraduate, and their lives are all nuisance, and you can tell from how they are treated in financial transactions relative to the aforementioned beneficiaries on whose behalf the Institute truly works.
If homosexuality is genetic, which I firmly believe it is, then it's an interesting question as to whether or not this genetic trait brings with it other physical manifestations. From a purely scientific point of view, it would be an interesting test of ML to see if some sort of relationship could be discovered. It's dangerous though to jump to conclusions that there is a physical manifestation without reams and reams of scientific study, including gene sequencing, etc.

However, it's both interesting and dangerous, as the GLAAD press release states, because of the repercussions to gays in countries where it's not nearly as accepted. It probably won't stop Russia and other very homophobic countries from conducting the same experiments using their own datasets.

In addition, very deep research including gene sequencing might inadvertently turn up the "gay" gene, which would then lead to it's own Pandora's box of issues.

This might be one of those situations where we might not want to study too hard because of the repercussions associated with it.

Depends on the area. I think in parts of Maine where there's a strong Quebecois influence there's definitely a meaningful distinction. There's other areas, especially in rural communities, where a specific European country has a lingering overstated influence.

But within any major metro area you're right, there's typically little meaningful distinction anyone would pick up on between two Americans of different European ancestry.
It can be. The sorts of things Christian churches tend to teach are generally conducive to a well functioning society. It depends on what they're teaching, exactly, and how receptive the people are to the message.

Did it occur to you that possibly the correlation with facial characteristics could be a matter of degree?

Consider the correlation between facial characteristics and racial background. I'm half European, half Asian. There's going to be a stronger correlation between people with near 100% European ancestry and "European facial characteristics" than people with 50% European ancestry, than people with 25% European ancestry, etc

The historians cannot even agree on a date for the fall of Rome, let alone a cause. Especially once we remember that Italy were one of the poorer regions of the empire by the time we start seeing any major change to it's structure.

Maybe we should be a bit cautions about what lessons we draw from a an even we cannot even data correctly. As there is a lot more to the story that most introduction textbooks have time to cover, or that the empire as such collapsed as the capital of Constantinople was not sacked until the 4th crusade in the 12th century, and not by barbarians but Christian knights.

When it comes to history we have a tendency to invent the lesson we want to learn and then go look for a way to spin history to fit an existing narrative rather then work the other way around, and let history teach us a lesson.

It was not so much that the barbarians beat the Roman army as it was that the Roman army had been outsourced to a bunch of former barbarian tribes while everyone rich fled east that led to Rome being looted and taxed by the barbarians(but not exactly sacked) And that was centuries after Rome gave up all pretence of being an republic with many deities. The fact that the barbarians weren’t exactly pagan but Christians of a slightly different denomination is also left of of most textbooks.

I have seen plenty of times where employers lied about average salaries in the company and told new hires that they are in the upper range at the company. I find it crazy that somehow employees have to be fully transparent but companies can lie and hide information as much as they want.

Are those generalizations useful and constructive, particularly in this case? I'd argue strongly no. In fact, I'd argue they're actively counter-productive. One of the self-described reasons for the feeling of alienation that many have expressed is exactly this type of generalization.
