Although I agree with the solution of creating safeguards for the machine, I'm sure the accident rate would've also went down over time as people learned how to avoid them (though not as drastically).

There's a huge difference between making a machine safer and filtering news, however. The only downside to safeguarding the machine is the economic cost. With filtering news, it could end up rather dystopian and filter to fit a more complex agenda.

We're very cautious in America of any power we designate to a company or especially the government, as every power we assign is only beneficial situationally. When the situation changes, that power will likely stay with that entity, however. Our avoidance of giving away power could be classified as a bend-but-don't-break strategy, in regards to everything from news censorship to constitutional limitations (i.e. gun control).

There is someplace to go after eight-man... Our small school in Eastern Colorado played six-man football against other schools across the state. The field is smaller and there's a lot more running. Most guys played both ways (offence and defense). And the school and boosters funded it very well.

I didn't participate cause I could care less about sports in general.

Why would you do that? There are plenty of opinions that are primarily "discussed" in bad faith, and that's one of the more significant ones.
The best way to think of the tax code is as an enormous legacy codebase whose authors were largely unaware of one another, often working at cross purposes, and subject to an ever changing set of requirements -- which requirements, importantly, are at least as much about social engineering as they are about raising money.

There is a constant tension between:

- backward compatibility ("we built our business around [tax provision]! you can't remove it now!"),

- expansion of the codebase to accommodate new requirements ("we must get more $activity; let's add a tax credit to incentivize it!")

- refactoring to better serve existing organizational goals ("we are leaking billions of dollars because of [loophole]! we have to close it now!")

This is why things like the "flat tax" or other simplification schemes are perennially floated, and also why they continue to get shot down: desires to simplify and refactor run into desires to support existing worfklows as well as current and anticipated future social goals, and they just can't get off the ground.

This is also why I end up posting basically the same thing in every tax thread, from the late great Martin Ginsburg, from whom I was lucky enough to take corporate tax: "Everything in the tax code is simultaneously a trap for the unwary, and an opportunity for the well-advised."

So your own interactions with the tax code should be considered similar to, say, an SAP deployment or something. Theoretically it's all documented and you can figure it out on your own, but in real life an expensive consultant will pay for herself over and over.

>Tail Recursion

Interesting. I thought the lack of proper tail recursion is a JVM limitation. Hence why Clojure uses loop/recur to handle it by translating it to a loop rather then as an actual tail call. Which means things like mutually recursive functions are not possible in Clojure without blowing the stack.

How does Kotlin handle that? Is it internally rewriting to a loop or trampoline, or did they find some way to actually make proper tail calls?

For semis with a route in-town, it can. They accelerate slowly, need a lot of room to make turns or merges, and are competing against much more nimble cars, bikes and pedestrians for that space.

One example I saw the other morning: a trucker pulls halfway onto the road to make a left turn, where there is no traffic control other than stop sign against them. This is against the rules; they should wait for a full opening to take that turn. However, if they attempt to wait for a full opening, it could take several tens minutes for that opening to appear. For one turn.

As with everything, there's a cost/benefit ratio. One minor fender-bender every year to deliver even 110% the cargo in that year? Totally worth it. Not to mention, it's usually the driver who absorbs the bigger relative share of the cost, in terms of points on their licenses or being fired for their inevitable slip-ups while under pressure.

Something I read on Reddit a few years ago that tore away the blinders of risk management forced upon truck drivers: If a driver had the opportunity to avoid a head-on by swerving into the ditch, they won't take it. By intentionally swerving into the ditch, the blame of the wreck falls on their shoulders, and if the cargo is damaged, they've likely lost their jobs. I've since confirmed it with a few questions to truck drivers I know.

> Would you agree that it's possible for a VP to have better information (assuming the people reporting into him are doing their job properly)? Would you agree that they're likely to be a more effective VP if they did?

Is it possible? Sure.

Let me posit an alternate scenario: Is it possible that the key features aren't necessarily the ones with the major engineering challenges, and the key contributors aren't the ones churning out code? Is it possible they value things differently than engineers?

As for how you become a schedule hazard: As the number of people reporting to you increases, you are spending more and more time on management tasks instead of technical tasks. And, to add insult to injury, you'll have more unplanned demands on your time. Your available time becomes less, and it become unpredictable. Putting yourself on the critical path means creating risk.

<4 reports -> you're still able to significantly contribute engineering wise

<8 reports -> your output is diminished, but you can usually at least guarantee a fixed quantum of time (50%, 20%, however much you can set aside)

8-12 reports -> things become dicey in terms of scheduling. If you take on responsibilities on the critical path, be prepared that you might need to put in long hours if anything unexpected pops on your radar. You also impact your ability to work on strategy.

>12 reports -> You can scratch out the occasional fix for completely noncritical issues. And half of the time, you'll need to hand off the fix anyways.

>15 reports -> Congrats. You need to start thinking about building managers to take on some of the load of running the team. Building actual artifacts is something you dream of, but don't get to do.

Obviously, not hard numbers - YMMV. But based on what I've experienced, they work relatively well as rough guidelines. It changes based on the complexity of what you tackle, how mature the product is, and how much time you actually want to invest in managing people.
But what comes back?

Lets say I request a user, his name, email and all their friends.

But I don't have access to the friends.

Now do I get nothing back and the error that my request would include data I have no access to?

Or would I get name and email, but the list of friends would be empty? would I get an additional warning somewhere so I know it's an permission problem and the user doesn't have no friends?

Would I get an inline error in the place of the friends?
Holy crap, that's awesome, thanks!
ASR is a hugely complex process that is handled by ML algorithms on Amazon's servers. The echo simply does not have the hardware to handle this on it's own.

I have a Model S too. And agree with your first point about the wipers. Not so sure about the second one. Where AP2 is at the moment, I have to constantly adjust speed and distance, especially during heavy traffic. Because I want to reduce the car length during very heavy stop and go and increase it when traffic is flowing. Also, when the speed limit changes, Tesla doesn't bump up the set speed, so I have to manually change it. I love how I can achieve all of these using the dedicated stalk

Melanoma when caught early is very easily treated—you simply cut it out, which has a 98% cure rate. Once it starts to invade subdermal tissue or spreads to the lymphatic system, outcomes rapidly become less optimistic. As recently as a few years ago, a stage III diagnosis had around 50-60% 5 year mortality, and a stage IV had a 90% 2 year mortality. Because melanoma is primarily an immune-system mediated cancer, many of the recent advances with targeted genetics and immune-system stimulation help melanoma patients directly, and the "new" numbers on those cases aren't able to be calculated yet simply because enough time hasn't passed. But the general consensus is that they're going to have to revise those outcome predictions a great deal now that we have these tools available.

The question of how many of those treatments are affordable is largely driven by the country they're in—many countries regulate the cost of pharma in general, so they'd be more affordable than in the US.
Banks are not going anywhere regardless of what happens with bitcoin. Physically printed money is not going anywhere; people need to be able to buy and sell when the power is out or the internet is down, bitcoin is something new, it will not replace existing financial infrastructure.
Is This Article Consistent with  Hinchliffe’s Rule? [pdf]
If you think it's for nothing you don't understand bitcoin. If it would require no energy to create Bitcoin it would be completely useless. Moreover, banks also burn energy. Arguably Bitcoin is potentially even more green than other carriers of value because it can be completely produced from natural resources such as wind and sun, whereas mining gold or other precious metals often requires more damaging techniques.

Can it be improved: Yes, wholeheartedly, for me BTC died a little when I wanted to give the money for a beer back in BTC to a friend, as we used to do in the old days... but soon I realized that the transfer cost is 2 times the cost of a beer. Somethings has to change.
Best of luck to you and your wife.

ABCDE is awful, don't get me wrong. I've always felt it was like holding your finger out to see what the wind direction is like. It has a horrible sensitivity (50%-90% depending on the type, I'd err on the side of lower). But if this technique also only has a 50% sensitivity, that is what would bother me. Hopefully the sensors they are using are sensitive enough to detect these temperature changes well.

Is There a Limit to AI Diagnosis Accuracy?
I think that is going to be really difficult to discern with any accuracy. The different mindset of the two parties will likely lead to differences in the types of things that each will believe, but I don't believe that either group is immune to believing made up stories.

I have also found that the losing party tends to suffer from the wildest delusions. I'm not really sure why that is, but it is always sad to watch.

Of course while YMMV, I've found the same thing - I've been prescribed opioids for pain, and I found that Advil worked just as well, without the side effects. I do understand that opioids have their place - for example I was told that Advil was not safe to take before surgery so I was stuck with the prescription meds.

On example that made an impression on me: a couple of years ago, I had arthroscopic surgery on a knee. When the surgery was done and I was being discharged, a nurse came to me with a percocet script and told me to take one every xx hours. Having taken percocet in the past and being familiar with the aforementioned side-effects, I asked her if she wanted me to take it for pain management, or if there was another reason to take it (blocking the formation of blood clots for example). I'm fairly pain-tolerant, so if it was a pain management thing, I wasn't going to take it. Her response was "just take the pills." That was not helpful. If doctors and nurses are just shoving these things down patients' throats it's not surprising there is a problem out there.

Facebook is messing with kids’ brains, says its ex president
I agree with most of this article, but an issue that he does not address is the fact that Apple constantly "refreshes" the UIKit APIs - every WWDC shows the new cool way to do something or other, and their own Apps usually exploit these new things. Look at the Podcast App in iOS 11 for example - what used to be a very simple table based app now uses collection views and fancy presentation views that have multiple states. Unfortunately, App developers face pressure for their Apps to look relevant, so it is not easy to ignore these "improvements" to UIKit in ones own apps. Adopting the new UIKit stuff inevitably leads to bloat.
All of this is discussed in depth in Hooked, an excellent read[1].

This is why the USA introduced the housing exemption for individuals that lived in low tax but high cost of living places like Singapore and Switzerland. The max still doesn’t work out in the personal space, I can imagine it doesn’t work in the corporate space either.

There are both sides to this argument, there have been posts which ask the opposite - why does every bitcoin post gets voted up so quickly. And frankly no thread goes without someone asking - but what is the "world changing" use case for bitcoin? There are no straight forward answers.

Then there is the constant use of strawman like you did here with internet question.
Or, the client company never met the employee responsible for the service company’s error (they were just tracked down by an internal investigation in the service company) and so theoretically the service company could have sent anybody and the client company wouldn’t have known the difference. The service company wants to send the error-committer, because going through this process is a punishment of sorts; but the client company doesn’t know/hasn’t met who they’re being sent, so the error-committer can fake things along the way.

They could probably correct the problem by just sending an escort along with the error-committer, but maybe this kind of thing doesn’t happen enough for them to really care.

As someone who actually ended up in ER with a badly broken ankle once, I beg to differ. After surgery, Percocet was the only reason I could sleep for the first few days. I got off it as soon as I could, though.

Edit: I just wanted to point out there are different degrees of “acute extremity pain”. There’s “I bumped my toe against a chair leg” kind, and then there’s “I can’t breathe because I’m in shock” kind. Opioids are appropriate for the latter.
This seemed so bizarre, I had to research it. Best I can tell, it originates on Page 97 of the proposed bill: https://waysandmeansforms.house.gov/uploadedfiles/bill_text.....

(2) Section 132(j)(8) is amended by striking "which are not excludable from gross income under section 127".

I looked up the mentioned sections:

Section 132: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/132

Section 127: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/127

This does seem to be true.

But to be fair to the intent, these sections of the tax code are aimed at educational benefits provided by corporations, and there is not a specific clause in the proposed bill that is targeting graduate education. It seems like an oversight that PhD students are affected by this, or possibly there's a deeper nuance in the tax code that makes this irrelevant to educational institutions. Hopefully all of the attention this has received will result in clarification and amendment before approval.

I have never noticed this in my life. Center City is where neighbors know each other and actually help each other out. The suburbs have always been hostile and anonymous.

I went to college in Minneapolis and I knew all my neighbors and most of the homeless people. When I visit my friends in the suburbs they have no idea who their neighbors are unless there is open hostility. Look at Senator Paul.

I just notice that their is a HUGE bias to bash cities all the time. When you live in a city you actually get to know and live with a wide diversity of people, hence the normal more liberal bias. My father inlaw almost dies inside anytime he visits us and can't ever say anything positive about the city (They live in the country in West Virginia and he is a successful contractor). He thinks everyone is on drugs and lives off of $45,000 for the Government. No one knows how much the working poor works these days and West Virginia's drug problem is 10x that of my city. It's just a anti-city bias.

As I noted elsewhere, we will be looking at better collecting preferences from customers as “the majority of customers” approaches don’t always work for very personal items like groceries (eg some folks would prefer to have it organic regardless of cost!)

What I'm hearing is our idiotic age limit on drinking makes ID forgery lucrative enough to outweigh the risks. Therefore: The drinking age in the USA is largely responsible for making identity theft easier.

I'm kidding, another major hole in this is a unique nexus of states having different ID/Driving License implementations and the fact that a vast portion of our citizens lack a passport.

Also, I'm not sure where the money is in the current system, but every time the USA tries to create a national ID all sorts of astroturfed nonsense comes out about Big Brother and COMMNUNISM!!

I wasn't meaning to imply that Walmart is "good", just that it would tend to suck the life out of similar ventures in the US. Its sort of like how Lowes and Home Depot effectively put Sears onto its last legs.

It isn't exactly that one is a substitute for the other, but one managed to effectively destroy the highest grossing businesses of the other.

Also, I've been in a mall in the US that effectively had a Walmart as an anchor. It was "interesting" and strangely it probably contributed to that mall's competitiveness in the area.
That was virtually never used in the wild, though.
