"Solicitors can train in advocacy and get rights of audience in the higher courts"

Solicitors who do get the right of audience apparently don't appear as much as you'd expect - solicitors still use barristers/advocates to offload risk on high value cases.
My next laptop is a phone with bluetooth keyboard.

I thing the idea of 'personal computer' you always carry with you is obsolete. Every geek has multiple laptops and workstations, just swap those as needed.
I found the argument about cost even sillier than you described. If Apple were to continue to support devices that are 10+ years old (those that shipped with PPC arch) and didn't drop support for obsolete products, the price would be far higher for each device.
Practically speaking, providing an exploit to the Russian government vs the US government - that would be a different effect, no? How would you justify providing the exploit to the North Koreans, or the Iranians?

There is a very practical morality at play here. The Chinese government runs protesters over with tanks, imprisons people without cause, attacks their neighbors without cause, etc. Would it be a good thing to aid such a government?

Putting all governments on the same moral plane is counterproductive and nonsensical. Not providing important information to your own government so that they can secure the very systems that protect you - that doesn't seem very practical.

I tryied something like that- to generate a sort of stack overflow chatbot from a tech support chat my OS-Comunity keeps up.

The problems usually are not in training the thing, the problem comes with filtering the data.

There is usually a lot of meta- and memes in the chatlogs, and lots of answers come as a web link. Which is not always helpfull. Imagine a user is asked to pastebin a log. The neural net must expand this pastebins into the chat.
Its very easy for a neural net to get lost in these logs or deduce the wrong thing from them.

Hope you have more success then i had with this.
That's a very interesting take, you can run local network for trusted qubes and put more risky/untrusted qubes on "cloud" VMs, that way you strongly mitigate colluding VMs (same-machine & same-network) and VM excursion attacks on your hypervisors & physical machines.
First, this article only addresses the USA. If you don't want to practice in the US, there are lots of options. See Korshak, Landing a Legal Job Overseas. Law school is an American anomaly. In Canada/UK/Ireland, you can major in law as an undergraduate. You can't do so in the US. With a LLB degree, you can do legal work in lots of countries--and even qualify to take the bar in the U.S. The author leaves out little details like the "diploma privilege" in Mississippi and other Southern states--but never Florida--if you graduated from a state law school there was no need to take the bar exam. And during WWII time in law school was reduced or relaxed.
In the EU this is a common issue in some areas where you can commute across a border each day. The rules are well established, albeit varying depending on which border is involved.[1]

From your link:

"It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one."

Assuming the prosecutor believed the man to be guilty, and that the prosecutor didn't use improper methods to secure a conviction, I'd say they were competent.

Now, if they used _improper methods _to secure the conviction of an innocent man, or if they knew the man to be innocent, that's another matter. I'd agree that the prosecutor is in incompetent (in the sense of "not fit to be a officer of the court", and not in the sense of "not having the skills required to do the job").

But the post to which I replied made no mention of this evil intent, so I gave the prosecutor the benefit of the doubt.
I'd choose the former as well. After moving to Belgium I discovered that I need a prescription for almost every medication. Even metamizole, topical minoxidil and contraceptive pills need prescription.

Its because the French are sneaky[0]; See also the island of St Martin/Sint Maarten in the caribbean which is partitioned but the French got the bigger half because apparently the split was arranged whereby two men would walk around the coast in opposite directions and the border would be arranged from where they started to where they met. The French guy allegedly substituted the Dutch guys water with wine, meaning he laid down to sleep after lunch and the French guy was able to travel further.

Agreed, as a Scots qualified lawyer and now an engineer I don't feel that choosing the solicitor route was somehow the 'lesser option'.

Additionally most advocates/barristers will work as a solicitor for several years before making the leap to the bar. It's useful to have contacts and to be somewhat known before you do your devilling/pupillage as the minority of the advocates/barristers will pull in the majority of the work and it can be slim pickings for someone who is new.
So you think an electron IS a mathematical expression, not that a mathematical expression describes its behavior?

> ...we're not merely constructing a map, but a model, that is, we try to feel out and understand the territory, what it's made of, and how it works.

'map' is a metaphor there. You're description of what physics is doing still fits within the metaphor. It doesn't change the fact that there is something 'out there' and then there's our description of it, via physics, and our description is not the thing that's out there.

Suppose we develop a unified theory in physics which supersedes current formulations of quantum theory. Then would the old quantum theory still BE the territory at that point? Or would it be just a less accurate description than the new one we came up with?

Thank you for sharing your painful family history, and with it, helping us better understand what a large percentage of Americans are still dealing with. A lot of us (white Americans) want to believe that slavery's harms ended with the end of the Civil War, and that the Civil Rights movement made right the rest of the damage - I've come to understand over the last few years that the harm didn't end in either 1865 or 1965.
Exactly this. I have a chronic wrist injury from a previous job. Physiotherapy hasn't really helped, and the only thing that does help when I have a bad day is naproxen (another NSAID in the same class as ibuprofen).

I am curious on how did they arrive at the 4% cap?
Definitely. While fork(2) is expensive, a price is useless without also knowing the budget, and how expensive it is depends on the environment.

However, the problem in the posted article was indeed that spawning Git processes 20 times a second in that specific Go application was too much, and the fix was that Go replaced fork(2) with posix_spawn(3).
Working in embedded systems, also with a control background and software affinity, I find we have the same mindset problems in non-manufacturing contexts as well (any kind of industry that needs embedded systems).

>In my opinion, this industry is as ripe for disruption as it gets- if you can generate and update code from a high lvl object and process description here, and proof reliability and speed + allow for user-code - the industry would throw money at you.

They won't, because they don't see the value in doing it right. An industry managed by mechanical engineers is not going to see how they're spending 100x as much as they need to for a worse product. Because they don't see the value in software in the first place. For them it's just this nasty thing you need to throw a lot of money at until it everything works. The mindset would need to shift to software being the main space in which problems are solved, because in 2018 it is. I guess this also turned into a </rant>

Neat! Was just looking at this last week, currently writing a paper on the problems our current mono-culture is causing, with almost everything being a variant of the call/return architectural style.

"In evaluating each year’s crop of new programming languages, it is helpful to classify them by the extent to which they permit and encourage the use of effective programming paradigms."

Well, currently the answer to this is very Fordian: you can have any effective paradigm as long as it is call/return. And we will make all other paradigms ineffective, so that works out. :-)

"When we make our paradigms explicit, we find that there are a vast number of them."

And that's the issue: when our languages only support a single paradigm, we then have to encode every other paradigm in such a manner that it becomes implicit in the patterns that are used.

In fact, even OO isn't really supported by current languages: the crux of OO is the connections between the objects, but you generally cannot write down connected objects, you must write procedures that build the connected objects. I've always felt that the people who want to make "object construction" special were on to something, but then completely missed the point.

"Often our programming languages give us no help, or even thwart us, in using even the familiar and low level paradigms."

Hear hear.

Anyway, my take on bringing in language support for appropriate paradigms is setting "paradigm = architectural style", noticing that "architectural style ~= "language metasystem" (start with MOP in OO and generalize), then make all these bits flexible and provide enough syntactic room to make the resulting adaptations as trivially usable as possible.

Yep, it's hard and it's a lot, not least because of this:

"To persuade me of the merit of your language, you must show me how to construct programs in it. I don’t want to discourage the design of new languages; I want to encourage the language designer to become a serious student of the details of the design process."

So there are three levels:

1. Write programs with certain paradigms

2. Create language support for those paradigms

3. Create meta-language support for writing language support for those paradigms.

I... really enjoyed your comment. I'm drifting off, so I probably won't respond to all of it, but thanks. that was pretty insightful.

>From your posts you are coming off like an aspergersy male adult engineer

Yes, and even more so in that I've put myself in a world where I'm surrounded by people who (I believe) are even more aspergersy (if you are using the word how I think you are using it) than I am, which I actually really enjoy, but in many ways I'm very insulated (and comfortable) within my bubble.

>To our primate brains `bosses` tend to be `others` and not `us

This is one of those things that all the evidence points to being true; I mean, I read leadership books, and I read about how militaries are structured and I agree with you... but this doesn't feel true in my life. I don't feel like my boss is an 'other' and I didn't feel like my employees were others when I had employees[1]. I mean, unless it's a non-technical boss; the business side of the house is entirely "other" in my book. I can get along with those people okay, but yes, it's different.

>You're not seeing someone in another group, like someone famous, doing something fun. You're seeing someone in your group doing it, causing an implicit comparison.

Huh. But... I like it when people in my group succeed. I feel like I've put a lot of effort into getting into a group that values the things I value, and where most other people in that group are better at those things I value than I am. When those people succeed, it shows that my group is a strong group that can get things done. Also, more successful friends means more good job leads :)

[1]of course, I don't think I was a particularly good boss... if you consider all business people to be "others" -- perhaps you should figure out how to change that before starting a business. but, I mean, I have been the boss, and while I was a weird boss, it wasn't unnatural to me, and perhaps more importantly, the idea of being the boss wasn't unnatural to me, it was just a job that it turns out that I'm not very good at.
>everything needs to be dumbed down to the lowest common denominator

That kind of ought to be the default for most code. However, it's the natural tendency of code to become abstruse and unnecessarily complicated.

Since market forces will often tend to exploit rather than reward the work done by programmers to "dumb their code down" and inadvertently reward "clever magic understood by a limited number of experts" there's more of an incentive to amplify this effect than to work against it - especially where money is involved.

I'm a bit conflicted because on the one hand I don't want to help developer compensation get ground down by billionaires or other business owners with an entitlement complex who consider developers to be "spoiled brats", but I do prefer working with clean, straightforward code.
I did, i did and i used the TC synonym.

The problem is- as with all state-charts fast grows in complexity to a level where nobody has a overview. Are we the first industry to encounter this. No- chip designers have this all the time, game industry has this all the time, every fucking industry using state-charts has this - all the time. So how comes, we are the only industry taking a lot of overtime all the time?

<chirpin ciccadas since decadas>

I have people whos VMs literally collapse under page-long state-charts. So how about breaking them up, just have small state-charts in FBs and small state charts in FBs marshalling them.

Not happening. And they use assembler, not for a final tweak but as base language.

And usually, when the whole mess is collapsing in on itself, like a black hole of bad design, the project manager call in some external consultants, who should be happy to work a project that is "that far along -its allmost done".

> You claim that you can accurately estimate usage time from battery capacity in mAh, performance from Ghz number

I'm not claiming that I can accurately do that, for engineering values of "accurate". I'm claiming that I can estimate the fit of the device for my use cases better with those values than with manufacturer-provided "real-life" benchmarks.

Ignoring your sarcasm for a moment; you mention benchmarks providers - yet the reason those third-party benchmark shows and sites exist is because manufacturer-provided benchmarks are usually pulled out of asses of the marketing department and are utterly worthless and usually (by design) not usable for comparison shopping.

This comment pretty much circles us back to the original quote I pulled out of the discussed article: "[Japanese] People require a high degree of assurance, by means of lengthy descriptions and technical specifications, before making a purchasing decision – they are not going to be easily swayed by a catchy headline or a pretty image." You seem to be advocating that one should be "easily swayed by a catchy headline or a pretty image". Well, I don't trust marketing departments of consumer-good vendors that much.

> A lack of understanding is not negative evidence

Clearly, but anybody claiming the spooky action effect needs to accept the burden of proof and produce positive evidence. When that necessitates new ways of physical interaction unknown to science, it's a colossal burden, likely to have far reaching implications and revolutionize multiple fields; it's highly unlikely that such positive evidence was ignored for the decades the effect was claimed.

How to Be a Perfect Bystander
>> So I’d like to begin by summarising some of the recent history in the field of artificial intelligence, or machine learning as its now called.

To be more precise, the field is still known as AI, but people outside the field only know (and care) about machine learning, presumably because that's what Googe, Facebook, et al are recruiting for.

This is a bit of a sad situation, really. AI, in its drive to solve major hard problems (that still remain unsolved btw), has always contributed powerful programming techniques and even entire language paradigms to computer science (functional programming, object orientation that basically started with Minsky's frames, all sorts of search algos etc).

Machine learning is just one such technique which has gained popularity outside AI. It's powerful, for restricted problems. But if it somehow replaces AI in peoples' mind, the goose that lays the golden eggs might just die.
You have a good point. Really, I spend a lot more of my "negative or critical self-reflection" time thinking about my own arrogance and contempt...

I hate to point this out, but Germany's government collapsed last year essentially because there's no consensus there for Merkle's ultra-pro-EU ultra-pro-migrant policies. She's still struggling to form a coalition months later. This is by far the longest German government collapse in history.

So if you think Germany is going to be radically different to the UK, I would suggest thinking again. Anti EU sentiment is rising everywhere.
AFAIK not a single homeopathic treatment beats placebos in clinical trials.

But "universal healthcare" to some extend means that the electorate can decide "what's right". By law, the public insurances are explicitly allowed to cover homeopathy. Weird enough, but understandable if a large chunk (and generally more important chunk) of voters are also Homeopathy adherent patients.

While Homeopathic doctors are by no means the majority here, the majority of "science" doctors will shy away as much as possible from confronting their patients with their stance on alternative medicine.
Interestingly, in the paper the human assessments shows the exact same biases.
