Is an elephant’s life more valuable than a randomly selected human? Probably not.

Is an elephant’s life worth more than someone who poaches endangered animals? Probably.

Also, these poachers are usually armed and willing to kill for their poach. The best defense against an idiot with a WWII export AK variant is a smarter person with a much longer-range weapon.
You can also remap it to multiple keys. My preference is `jk`, since that letter combination is rarely used, still on home row, and can be typed about as fast as a single key. Useful, since it's a common action I take.
Totally agreed on every count! That was (and is) a highly-influential book for my perspective on UI.
The problem seems to be that there's no definition what exactly FRAND actually means. The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that "you cannot exclude companies from licensing your tech", but apart from that it seems to be wild west.
I second this. Really great videos that balance breath vs depth well and that are easily digestible. The guy is also enjoyable to listen to.

I am not associated with Jordan Leigh nor Decyper.TV in any way except as a customer.
I agree. I'm not sure how anyone was willing to set up the rules and laws such that it was so easy to make such a ruling.

One such hearing took just over a minute. You could likely drag out a parking ticket hearing longer than that
What's the value proposition though?
For it to be morally wrong to reduce one's tax burden, I suppose you believe that corporations, big or otherwise, are morally obligated to pay higher taxes than legally required. Why?

So... What are you worried about?
Not everyone who opposes gay marriage thinks of gays as lesser than them. Some oppose it for religious reasons, for example. Also, what about views on other exclusionary policies? Wherever you live, I'm sure many people in your country think that no foreigners have an inherent right to gain citizenship and residence in your country. Perhaps even you feel that way. This is an exclusionary view and therefore should be punished by prohibiting those people from holding positions of power... right?

Besides, you are still missing the main point. Discriminating against people for their opinions is nonconstructive - by excluding them from dialog, oppressing them in daily lives and proudly putting your intolerance to their views on display, you just make them angry and more entrenched. That kind of demonization might feel really nice (when you're on the giving end of the stick), but it works against liberal values in the long run. Where do you think Trump and Brexit came from?
This is interesting. Let's think it through.

For the teachers and students, it would need to be realtime. A teacher couldn't write out a string of follow-up questions in advance and hope the reader answers them in exactly the way you intend.

For the observers, you need them to be engaged with the content as well. I am imaging a sort of dialog tree would be useful here, where a new reader could add an alternative answer to a given question which would then be a candidate for other teachers to add follow-up questions. How would [1] look like if it were resolved using the Socratic method?

For programming in particular, building out an interface to encourage experimentation would be critical. Take for example [2], a recent question from StackOverflow. The questions I would ask to lead the student to the answer are: - What is the actual difference between iPhone and desktop for this code? - What nodes are being selected by the call to `$`? - What makes you confident that the call to `$` is even happening? - etc. The student's ability to even answer these follow-up questions will make the socratic method painful when conducted through a text-primary medium.

This raises another point that teachers need to already know the solution, or at the least have much better guesses than the students (and those guesses need to be generally correct for the site to provide value). This greatly limits the number of people who would be capable of being teachers on the site.

It implies you know what doctors do about as well as you know what comp sci people do, by virtue of comparing the two. The comp sci part is at risk of taking your anecdotal experience as too representative of the whole. The doctor part is (presumably) at risk of relying on stereotypes about doctors having "God complexes" ... So to get to an effective general comparison would be quite difficult without more accurate data. Buuut if we see ourselves as smart computer people, maybe we think more highly of our own inferences than they deserve. I would expect doctors' arrogance has a lot to do with their training and respect for their processes and practices as being highly reliable and advanced. Rather than them personally just having a talent for doctoring.
Granted, arguendo, that South Korea has a right to defend its border, and that that right extends to killing any and all North Korean forces that cross said border. There's still a difference between a defense that can attempt to kill anyone and a defense that will attempt to kill anyone.

Automated defenses will attack North Korean troops. They could also attack lost North Korean children, South Korean military convoys moving to the new front 50 miles north a week after the bombing of Seoul in 2034, and hikers living in Unified Korea in 2067.

"Indiscriminate" doesn't necessarily mean "unjustified" or "illegal", but it's still enough of a marked category difference to be worth some separate ethical consideration.
Often the recruiter does not have an accurate view of what the interview will contain, or even the needs of the customer. You should ask these questions of your actual interviewer, and change your interaction to reflect the information they're looking for, rather than what you've prepared by talking to the recruiter. This means preparing a broader amount of information and looking at different aspects of both the business, technical, and general work requirements.
I'm a developer who is interested in getting an MBA. One thing I've learned is that like any degree, an MBA from one school is not equal to an MBA from another.

Finding an online MBA offering that is decent quality is next to impossible or the price far exceeds what most people are willing to pay. I've tried some courses from MIT & Wharton online. Their content is great & possibly well worth the price if you are able to relocate & can afford the cost. I would imagine a few of the other top schools are worth it as well. After that, I would seriously question the value from most any other MBA.

On a side note, many people with an MBA often say the most valuable thing they received was a "network".
What are some good introductory texts/resources to read to get up to your level of understanding in these topics? Is this a biochem, virology, molecular bio area of study?
You probably don't want that, but a flag that enables all sensible messages, yet does not enable stuff that is there just for compatibility or because it's useful in some context.

It should also disable Werror, otherwise we will be claiming for some new flags in a few years.

I'm finding it difficult to imagine how you think this could possibly work.

Cancers start small and develop into larger problems over time. Consider a hypothetical patient who develops cancer at the age of 70 and dies of it, untreated, at the age of 78.

If the cancer is detected at the age of 75, detection will lower the 5-year survival rate, since the patient dies after three years of "having cancer". If it is detected at 72, detection increases the 5-year survival rate, since the patient now dies after 6 years. Without treatment, early detection has a very strong impact on 5-year survival rates.
>Why do you want to live forever?

I'm not sure why this is a question. Barring inhumane levels of pain (emotional or physical), living is always preferable to death.

>Nobody is that important or has that much to offer to the world

Agree, we are all dust in the wind etc, etc. But why does that matter? Should I decide to stop living at 27 because my trajectory means I won't accomplish anything with my life?

Personally, the strongest motivator to live as long as possible is to experience as much "existence" as possible. My lifetime is constricted to the 21st century right now and that means I will never experience humanity's future. Sure, it will happen regardless whether I'm there to experience it, but that won't matter to me, I'll be dead.

If wanting to experience life is selfish, then I'm sorry for being born (not directed at you, just in general).
How is to not jeopardize the ecological system a selfish reason?
> C++ still seems preferable in these types of applications

Agreed, but until there are some published performance metrics, I think it's an assumption more than a truth. Premature optimization...
My own perspective (which I can already tell you'll likely disagree with) is that I want to live forever to remove the burden of having to choose only 1 to 2 more major experiences in my life (I'm 52).

As an example I leaned Japanese. To do so I moved to Japan at 33. My experience there tells me if I want to learn Chinese and actually remember it I need to move to China for 6-8 years. Given I only have 20-30 years left and probably less in pure freedom of movement (meaning my body will get old and limit where I live and what I can do), then ATM I only get to choose 1, 2 or 3 more major things to do with my life. If I could live forever I'd choose to do all of them knowing I have plenty of time left. I'd spend 8+ years in China. Maybe 6+ years in Germany and 6+ in France and 6+ in Italy and 6+ in Spain and a few in South American countries and then others. I'd go back to school and learn various topics spending several years in each.

I don't agree with your assertion wanting to live a long long time has anything to do with ego. People used to only live to an average of 30. Today I saw a program on Japanese TV showing they have 60000 people over 100 years old. They showed several having productive lives, some were still running stores. One was a hairdresser. She still loved meeting and talking to people while cutting their hair. She was 102. The current stats say that 60k number will be 120k in only 3 more years.

What does the fact the people in the past died have anything to do with anything? People in the past died of all kinds of diseases so people now are ego driven to use the tech that prevents those diseases? I also see no relation to empathy. In fact the older I get the more empathy I seem to have.
This is one of the reasons I hate the eight-hour work day. Between that and all of the other shit you have to do in a day (commute, chores, eating, exercise etc.), it seems like there's little to no opportunity to just have a life. I know it sounds like first world problems (people used to work 100 hour weeks), but I think our culture needs to change before we can really put the onus on people to improve their sleeping habits. I'd love to get 7-9 hours of sleep, but I just don't have the time.
Algorithms that don't use quantum computation and plain silicon devices are such a hard hurdle to overcome. I can see a possible future where silicon reaches its limit and maybe then we will be forced to engineer Quantum Computation but even so that is still 90 years of research to get them practical. I found that out when studying Quantum Computation at school.
I fail to see the off-topicness of this.

This is only 1 step removed from "We prefer only $religion here." Or another way to look at it, is "We dont like $your_religion." They aren't out-right saying that, but the dog-whistles are most certainly there, biblical quotes and all.

No matter how you shake it (by preference or by refusal), it's coming mightily close to breaking federal law as cited here: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/religion.cfm

I would understand if the organization was a church or religious group. But it seems to be pretty bog-standard tech shop. It, at absolute minimum, is a warning sign of potential religious discrimination. To put it bluntly, unless there's a religious component in the nature of the job, the very fact that religion is mentioned on their pages is at best off-topic, a warning sign to all, and at worst a potential sign of EEOC violations.
It's a valid concern for business. A lot of my customers go to some pretty interesting lengths to make sure they're not locked into a single vendor's stack.
> Gp's point is that cities don't get to override federal taxes - if they attempt it and you're dumb enough to listen to them, the IRS will definitely collect what they owe.

And my point is that they will also sanction, admonish, or worse the one overriding those laws regularly. If push came to shove, the IRS would toss an official in jail if they were constantly encouraging/helping people skirt the law.

> Your critique falls apart because there is no US federal law that says cities can't unfairly advantage companies inside their borders

Yup, it does fall apart, but more because the analogy was flawed to begin with.
Wharton is an elite school for Business. Very few schools match their education in business. Had Elon went to a random state school that isn't a top 5 business school, he might not be saying that.
So I love Keybase unconditionally and if you guys weren't rolling in physical offices (and not one in Boston) I'd have been beating down your door to come work there--I think what Keybase is doing is important and it's something I'd love to work on. But I have a serious question that maybe you can answer, and it's something everybody who I've showed this to has asked me:

How is Keybase gonna make money? How am I assured that this, and everything else in my Keybase storage, is going to be there in six months? Like, I still have a private server in a closet in my apartment that syncs all the stuff I trust Keybase with because I don't know what the business-side failure case is.

You guys should be taking my money, is what I'm saying. Also probably hiring me. But definitely taking my money.
Well there's an income spectrum in society beyond 'the rich' and 'the poor' but certainly our poorest citizens reduce their tax burden as much as possible as well. When was the last time someone working for cash under the table declared their income?
The value-add for this demo is amazing, it's going to be many people's first approachable experience of ml, or things just like this will be. I expect a lot more of this stuff to appear in UI/UX. It's fun, intuitive, and a game changer away from dumb screens to fully interactive machines with their own knowledge graph.
The point is that people who claim to function on six are unable to correctly judge their capabilities and are most likely wrong about that claim.
I think I've said this more than a few times now but TWTR and SNAP are very similar stocks.

Great ides, great management but very poor businesses. It's just too bad for SNAP that TWTR came first and wall street learned quickly and applied the lessons learned from TWTR to SNAP.

Both companies are moving sideways now in terms of stock prices as almost no one thinks they are going to turn into great businesses but they also have huge markets and no one wants to miss out on the odd chance that they finally figure out a business model.

I think they both have to find a way to segregate their own users into appropriate bins such that each bin doesn't have to associate with the others. I mean I use TWTR mostly for news sources for work, and personal and don't care about mixing the two.

Tweetdeck is one example of such binning that makes TWTR so much better than the default view that it really surprises me that its' not the default view.

I think the probe is that the advertising model like Google and Facebook use just isn't going to work well with Twitter. I can't think of a single add that they could server me that I'd have any interest in at all.

That's why I was excited by moves like streaming NFL games, that's something I would pay for and a revenue model that might work.

The fact that TWTR has been around for this long and still hasn't figured out a viable business model falls squarely on management and is a very good indication of just how poorly they have performed at their job.

They have to get this figured out or the money will walk away and someone else will buy them at terms that aren't going to be very fun for the existing shareholders and employees.
That's a problem in instances where parts of the family is in denial about the parent's state. For instance, my grandfather is struggling with Alzheimer's, but my grandmother is combative about it, along with a few family members. This means, instead of my grandfather regularly seeing a doctor and getting some sort of treatment, he continues to degrade, day by day, including even driving around on his own. Driving seems perfectly fine on a good day, but if he were to experience a serious episode while out on his own, he could strand himself out in the middle of nowhere and die from exposure.

In fact, this isn't hypothetical, this exact scenario happened just the other week to an old priest from the exact same small (less than 5000 people) town

Pet peeve as a Canadian: our postal codes are two sets of three characters, alternating letters and numbers (correctly written as A0B 1P0).

Websites invariably fail to accept my postal code because of one of two issues: I did put in a space, or I did not put in a space.

It's mind-blowing to me that website developers can't come up with a solution to this problem other than (mistakenly) telling me what my postal code should or should not look like, when the rules are pretty simple.

The other cardinal sin: Canada Post will sell you a gigantic database of postal codes and associated addresses, so you can look up an address for a given postal code. In many cases a postal code will tell you a specific street, specific side of the street, or in the case of condos or apartment buildings, will identify a specific building, so this is great for making sure the delivery address makes sense.

Unfortunately, new buildings and their postal codes are being created all the time, so I've had a few cases where I couldn't order something online because my (three year old) postal code wasn't in their database, so they just gave me an error saying "check your postal code and try again". I ended up having to get a friend of mine to order my wife's birthday present once because it wouldn't accept my postal code for either billing or shipping.

All of this because someone thought they'd be smart and fucked it up.

> There's a name for a kind of change that makes a previously correct program incorrect: "compiler bug".

No. The only thing that matters is that the language rules are respected. Or maybe you'd want programs that were correct with the first C compilers to still work today ? Because for instance they didn't do type checks at all. `void f(float, float); int x = f;` you say ? no problem! `char c; c[-15];` ? no problem! Everything did compile, sure. Is it the world we want ? Most certainly not.

I wonder if legalizing the sale of elephants, rhino horns, etc. (but still protecting the ones in the wild) would lead to a sort of positive version of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect

After all, if you can make tons of money selling rhino horns (but know you’ll get shot if you kill an existing rhino to do it), people might start putting a lot of money into rhino farms, which could be good for the global population size.

SoFi's Plan to Become the Bank of the Future Isn't Going So Well
Hitler wanted to murder populations based on their ethnicity, and conquer Europe. Bannon wants a smaller federal government limited by a more originalist interpretation of the constitution and less immigration. Those aren't the same things.
Bletchley was a huge industrial operation. They had several thousand people, including the outstations. The bombe hardware was built in quantity by the British Tabulating Machine Company and then by National Cash Register in Dayton, OH. The US cryptanalysis effort had units at Arlington Hall and Pearl Harbor, with buildings full of IBM tabulators and special-purpose hardware.

The real innovation in WWII was scale. Cryptanalysis in WWI was a few people in Room 40 and didn't accomplish that much.

You can play Perfect Dark with improved graphics and modern controls on a 360 or XBone. It's still one of the best console FPS games around, and includes some really cool and unusual multiplayer modes (campaign co-op and campaign versus!) and bots (to fill out those 2-player matches).
Most people aren't da Vinci and even if they were there's no guarantee (or likelihood) those artists could do that for any extended period of time. Picasso was Picasso because he was not da Vinci (well and a million other reasons, but just a comparison). Maybe da Vinci gets stuck in his views and doesn't have anything to offer as of 1900 except a shell of himself. Or, maybe da Vinci gets really bored after 300 years. What else does he have to prove?

What I'm trying to say is that all progress has occurred within our now millenia old system of relatively short lifespans. It means that within 150 years, societies can completely change because new individuals and experiences have to take over. Even the ancients saw death as a kind of leveler. We all die, even the mighty don't get to take anything with them.

Does that happen if we change that equation? Maybe it doesn't matter because people are good at adapting, but there's still a possibility it isn't all sunshine.
