As always, THANK YOU. You and your coauthors' attention to even the smallest details everywhere in this piece are evident. I've added it to my reading list, to read through it and look at the visualizations slowly :-)

That said, after skimming the piece and thinking about the amount of work that went into it, one question popped up in my mind: do you think it would be possible to train a DNN to learn to visualize the "most important" neuron activations / interactions of another DNN?
> A sizeable portion of Trump's base believes that they are in danger of becoming a minority in "their own" country

Well, they'd be correct, wouldn't they? People of European ancestry, once making up 90% of the country, are set to become a minority around 2040 now IIRC. And arguably the United States were originally conceived to be an outpost of Europe, so the "their own" country thing seems to be a reasonable assessment, too.
I honestly can't tell if you mean Trump or Torvalds.
Many countries will grant you a visa so long as you make over a certain amount. This is much more open than the American lottery system.
Carbon Copy Cloner 5.0.3 Full Cracked for {MAC OS X}
There was one I helped suggest fixes for on StackOverflow a while back. The program searched DOM nodes, found its target, split the node, inserted the two new nodes, and continued searching in the new node it had just inserted.

The result of this was truly horrific performance. If one node contained thousands of matches, the repeated node removal, copying, inserting, repeat, took more than 30 seconds. 30 seconds on a 4 GHz machine.
Couldn't this be positive if it stops all the body shop h1b companies that just want cheap, basic programmers? This will then allow for visas for true skills where there are gaps.

I've worked with hundreds of h1b visa, 90% of them were just java programmers with a low bill rate. But there were also a few with really rare skills. I'd like to see more of the latter and less of the former. Especially since the number of h1b visa is capped.
No, it won't. The sensationalism all around is just infuriating; I know it's basically politics in a nutshell, but this sort of crap is getting really old. It's not going to destroy higher education; it might raise the bar a bit of who goes to graduate school, and force schools to do more to entice top tier talent to come to their school, but it's not going to destroy it.
Then why one giga-factory instead of thousands of small local ones? What would be the cost if all world’s yoghurt was made in a single giant factory? And you’d be moving milk between continents to get the yoghurt to the small shop at the corner? Now think about moving all these molecules again
>1 the US is lagging far behind every developed nation in education

It's not as a whole. Parts of it are, Education here is local, and there are states the size of Finland that compare with Finland in education outcomes.

>2 and higher education in the US is prohibitively expensive compared to other developed nations

Income based repayment ensures that you will never pay more than 10% of your disposable income (income over 1.5x the federal poverty level), and loans are forgiven if you make payments for 20 years. This assumes you only take out federal loans (90% of loan disbursements are federal and are enough to pay for public universities).

This is very similar to the system Australia has.

Additionally, the US ranks 7th in number of adults with college degree--higher than every European country except Luxembourg.

And the US has 1/3 of the top 500 ranked colleges in the world, and nearly 1/4 of the top 5000.
Most rich text editors allow bolding running text. "Ctrl+B" vs. "shift-8" are equal.

Considering that over half the country chose to field these two terrible candidates in the election, I'm perfectly fine with insulting half of the country.
The logical remedy would be to eliminate the lock the employer has on these people so that they can get competitive offers and see their salaries bid up to something better.

Why would you want to own a self-driving car? You'll just summon it from the nearest parking lot when needed.
If your business can't survive without indentured labor - that's on you. Simple as that.

The H1B situation could be fixed overnight by declaring the minimum wage to be... one million dollars. Then we'll see it genuinely only used for rare talent.
We’ve discussed the auction before here. My sentiment is that it would cause all of the H1Bs to be concentrated in the Bay Area at a handful of companies.
It feels good!

I had a rails/ar based report that I "fixed" at my last job that when it ran it generated 1100 reads (not even N+1, a lot of other crazy aggregates, etc).

It was complicated, but I got it into one query, subquery and a partition.

Went from 45s of app time to process to a <1s query!
Seems the numbers in the graph and article don't are not easy to match up. In the graph, the sum seems to be over 100k for those top 20 companies, while the article states that 40-80k visas were granted.

I do agree that I think those outsourcing talent shop should be limited. You shouldn't have majority of your workforce on h1b.

As a counter point I don't think Google, Apple, Microsoft etc are not out of line. Also many startups that are founded by immigrants (50%) and often also hire international talent (since there isn't enough local one). Also startups are not able to compete on salaries like larger companies. If the article is beloved, 63% h1bs go to other than these top companies.

The OP comment still holds that I think startups and hiring international talent does contribute to the US economy and it's just not for "depressing white collar wages".

If you constrain the issue to just fake accounts that's quite a bit easier, everyone agrees about the difference between a bot and a person at least in principle. Versus all forms of possible content moderation, e.g. should youtube ban Alex Jones.

And I'm not sure that the total outrage level will ever decrease the more responsibility for moderation they are seen as having.

A call for the federal government to underwrite FDA Phase 3 MDMA trials
The thing is these rideshare companies: Lyft, Uber, Ola, Grab and Didi Mechagodzilla Chuxing, these companies all exploded out of nothing, they're all so young.

The software they run on is complex, but not so complex that it can't be replicated.

So if you're a company with the secret sauce, that being a validated autonomous OS, you would most definitely want to run the consumer facing end of the business yourself, because that's where the real profit margins are hiding. Back-end software, fleet maintenance, and harware: this stuff is all eventually going to become commoditized. Customer experience will be the differentiator.

A thing to keep in mind is that a fleet of sensor riddled robotaxis will gather far more granular data about the world than just a standard human driven taxi, so the potential is there to take fleet management logistics to another level that no conventional rideshare can hope to compete with.

Really, if you let your imagination run wild with what can be done with that kind of data about the world, well, oh my gosh. You're building a live action parallel universe made out of networked lidars and running annotated data through pattern recognizers.

The privacy implications would make the hairs on your back stand-up if conceptualizing the astronomical amount of data that's going to kicked around hasn't already made you dizzy. It varies from company to company, but a typical test vehicle gobbles up something in the neighbourhood of 4 terabytes a day. In the future that number will go up. Thousands and thousands of Robotaxis.
Here's my back-of-envelope calculation:

Assumptions...

4,000,000 miles of roads
(4.12 million minus 164,000)[1][2]

5280 ft per mile

200 ft as guess of distance between snapshots

60,000 bytes as estimate for 1 jpg sized for "near HD"[3]

15 photos per set [3]

... total is ~95 TB per day.[4] The Youtube stat from 2015 quoted 24 TB per day.[5] The total Google Maps in 2012 size was 20 PB.[6]

So, 95 TB is within the realm of possiblity but it seems like coordinating the logistics in the USA to upload that much from trucks every day would be a huge hurdle. (The Youtube 24TB is worldwide uploads and not just USA.) Since the vast majority of the streetview images for a particular day won't be requested by anyone, it wouldn't be a good return-on-investment to pay for that much disk space.

Obviously, the total goes up if I underestimated the intervals (100 ft instead of 200 ft) or underestimated the jpg size (new generation of HD cameras output 200000 bytes for still images). The total goes down if a significant chunk of those 4 million miles don't need streetviews. There are probably other factors I'm missing. (What's that famous Google interview question again? "How many gas stations are there in the USA?"[7])

> culture of the conventional aerospace industry ... would never have even attempted such a thing

NASA had a very precise plan to create a commercial spaceflight industry in a similar way that it was instrumental in creating the commercial atmospheric flight industry in the 20th century. They want to get out of the business of launching things so it's less of a distraction from the doing things in space business.

Here are the goals from NASA's "2nd Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle" program:

* Investment in technology development and other activities needed to enable a full-scale development decision by 2006 and operations by early next decade of a space transportation system that will be safer, more reliable and less expensive than today's system.

* A coordinated approach that enables development of flexible, commercially-produced, reusable launch vehicles. This approach ensures that NASA unique hardware, developed by and for NASA unique missions-such as crew transport and planetary exploration-is compatible with commercial capabilities.

* Purchase of cargo re-supply services for the International Space Station - using commercial launch vehicles - to serve as backup for primary vehicles such as the U.S. Space Shuttle and international vehicles such as the Russian Progress rocket.

That's from April, 2002. SpaceX was founded May, 2002.

In my opinion, it is about the same, maybe easier to not use markdown. If we count keystrokes, it’s less.

If already typed, it’s less keystrokes to select with Shift+Ctrl then press Ctrl+B.

If it’s not typed, it’s less keystrokes to Ctrl+B at he start and end.

For italics, the keystrokes are about the same with and without markdown.

I don't really understand. Do you mean cell site simulators (IMSI catchers?) interfering with aircraft or flying the simulators on aircraft to broaden their reach?

In the latter case, they would (I'm assuming) be flown with proper high gain directional antennas instead of tiny antennas mostly hidden inside a metal tube that attenuates most of their signal
I meant that they'll give you a visa if you make more than a certain amount not if you invest over a certain amount. I've now edited my comment.
https://whoishiring.io which is basically an agregator.

I also like the concept around https://www.honeypot.io (I think it's only available in Berlin though). Once you sign up and add your CV, you get a list of quite detailed offers almost every day, including company name (wow, I know, crazy) and salary range. You can accept or reject them through the UI, by just clicking a button. No endless chain of messages to figure out what company or position you're actually applying for, no horrid misspelling of your name, no waiting for the recruiter to contact the company and check if they're actually interested in your skill set - your CV is presented to the company beforehand so you've already passed their vetting. The one time I tried, I didn't find a job through Honeypot, but I definitely appreciated the experience.
I reasoned that someone might use 1/4 ounce in a month. But I also thought that the stuff the government would pass out would probably be grown in less than ideal conditions, and inattentively processed, making the ration weak, with lots of stems and seeds. So you would have to give out 8x as much (and thereby also encourage recipients to learn how to do organic extractions). I didn't give much consideration to the cost, because they don't call it "weed" for nothing, and much of the current expense is due to prohibition.

750 mL works out to about 17 shots of 1.5 oz. each, but I also figured it would probably taste like it was made from stale tortilla chips in most of the US, and would therefore mostly go into mixers, averaging 4 drinks per week. The people who really enjoy their alcohol would be springing for commercial vodka, and there would also be plenty of people who would be getting that ration and not drinking all of it. Many drinkers would probably be relying on a beer or wine ration, but I don't really consider those to be "drugs" below a certain %abv, and UBI beer would probably be around 2.5%abv, with the wine around 4%abv. The beer would taste like a business handshake between Bud and Miller, and the wine like Welch's made out with Manischewitz on their friend's couch.

And for the peyote buttons, mushrooms, DMT or whatever, I thought two trips in a month might have been pushing it, especially for people that were still trying to have normal jobs with their UBI. Good for two of your four weekends, with maybe a couple sketchy Mondays when the machine elves follow you to work.
What about the passenger?
This is a great idea. The challenge is that it goes against the reason companies use h1b, to lower wages paid. This would actually drive up the prices of h1b visas and lead to more skilled workforce.
DOTA 2 and CS:GO are doing very well right now. Good luck on getting them to release a game with "3" in it.
I mentioned Germany because I've seen Luxembourg-style smartcard authentication as one of posdibilities for submitting german VAT returns online when I cared about such things few years ago and the application involved in that looked mostly the same as Luxembourgh and Belgian one (Oracle Forms, similar UI...)

The problem is that you think they went out and investigated this topic then wrote about the results of their investigation. In reality, they had a narrative and agenda they wanted to pitch and then went out to find confirmatory evidence, while largely discarding contradictory evidence.

Why is the lack of theory a problem? At some point we have to accept some problems are "out of our league" and use whatever is available even without fully understanding it. We can't even understand simple specializations in computer vision, yet we expect to understand a more general method? It's not like 15 years ago there weren't math theorems proven by enumerating them on a computer. I understand it breaks psyche and pride of some scientists, so what? Universe can't be expected to fit into humanity's collective brain.
We're not at the highest point (compared to 1920s) but might be by 2023. We're a very young nation of immigrants, so I find it odd that you wouldn't retroactively apply the grievances about cultural shifts to all the generations that came previously.
Yeah, but why did Threadless possibly need to "maintain growth"?

They had a sustainable small business model. They could have consciously leveled off when they hit their natural equilibrium and remained a profitable niche vendor in perpetuity. Instead, it appears they threw out their existing succesful business model and a good chunk of their reputation trying to scale beyond their natural limits.

What's wrong with being small if you're good at it?
I store tons of stuff in my car so I can have it available at all of the various places I end up, and while I would happily believe I am not in the majority, this does not seem to be something that would be rare. While I don't feel the need to "own" a car (I literally rent a car continually, paying in 30-day cycles), it would be extremely annoying to not have consistent control over most of the storage space in a car (I often even have stuff in the back seat I am dragging around with me forever). And no: while I do love driving, I feel no need to drive, and would welcome a future where the car drove for me... but it will be a much more awkward arrangement to get me to be OK just summoning random cars temporarily.

Are any self driving solutions considering letting the passenger pilot after the car has arrived autonomously?
As with many things in the US, the top end is truly elite, for the small minority that can be accepted/afford it. But the average is mediocre at best.
Exactly.

Personally, I'd like to see a balanced approach: shift some of the money to increase those laughable stipends into something livable, and put the rest where it belongs: on admin costs.

The shell game universities are playing is part of the problem. Hopefully, if this change makes it into the final bill, Universities do the right thing and don't stick it to their Grad Students.
It's mind boggling that a company like this "doesn't have the funds" for proper security auditing, and treats code updates like they were changing CSS for their blog, yet at the same time can affect $200m+ in funds. Why are they not making money, and in that case, why on earth is so much cash entrusted to an underfunded entity?

EDIT: apparently one of the wallets affected holds $90 million raised for the Polkadot project [1,2], which is their own. A quote from the previous incident[3]:

> Unfortunately, since Parity is a small, minimally-funded start-up, we have not the resources to do this alone. Outside of a few tips to the shoe fund, Parity has received no funding whatsoever from any organisations within the Ethereum ecosystem.

I still think that proper self-driving cars are such a paradigm shift that predictions of how it will work are still up in the air.

For example, right now I live on the west coast and my parents live on the east coast. 4 kids, Minimum of 40 hour drive or $3500 flight.

Here's one tiny example:

I can work remotely for a few weeks and my boss doesn't mind. The kids sleep for 8+ hours at night. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday nights driving for 12 hours (mostly sleeping) means I am at my parent's house on Tuesday and I either take Monday as vacation or work remotely from a friend's house in Ohio. We see friends in flyover country that we rarely visit or see national parks on Saturday and Sunday.

I can now take the whole family to my parents taking just 2 days of vacation/remote for the trip, for only the depreciation cost on my car. Car trip isn't too bad because the kids are awake for a total of the running time of 6 movies.

Car usage will go up by an order of magnitude because a major cost of driving isn't the dollars, but the time.
