Sorry, but it's their botched operation and, therefore, it's their fault.
This article confuses depression and bipolar disorder quite a bit. They're inducing mania through sleep deprivation in patients with bipolar disorder going through a period of depression. This is somewhat dangerous, as mania can have severe consequences. The article even states that there's a 95% relapse into depression for those not taking lithium. Only people with BPD take lithium. It's not about the lithium, it's about that population having BPD.

DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER WITHOUT MEDICAL SUPERVISION. Inducing mania could ruin your life. If you don't have BPD, then this likely won't work anyway.

I have several family members with BPD. Irregular sleep schedule is a major warning sign that mania is coming on, and interrupted sleep schedule can induce mania.

I can see why you might try this in a controlled setting, and I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm just saying that this is very dangerous, and should not be done without qualified medical supervision.

Poor sleep I would think is different than no sleep. The nights I get poor sleep, approximately 2~3 hours or less, the following day would be nothing but intrusive thoughts, depression about those thoughts and exhaustion. The nights I had NO sleep the following day all of those symptoms would virtually be gone.
Well, I mean you didn't provide /any/ examples, you stated something false.

My point was more that this "battle of wits" cops vs robbers narrative is just Hollywood nonsense.

Do you feel the same about MI6/GCHQ (organisations staffed to a large degree by Cambridge grads) vs ISIS (an organisation staffed mainly by idiots and conspiracy theorists)?

Clearly the two sides are not playing the same game, and any disparity in ability will be completely overwhelmed by structural differences in their respective challenges.

The uninformed opinion you're spreading is damaging because it implicitly implies that these crimes wouldn't happen if only our cops were a bit brighter.

If only they were as clever as those City boys! Too bad old chap, better luck next time, all's fair in love and war etc etc.

I agree with you completely about things like a housecat and how far we are from something that advanced.

Should it be legal? That depends on your view of the purpose of the market in stocks.

If you believe the basic purpose is to provide capital for enterprises from the savings of individuals and the earnings of other businesses, insider trading is probably a bad idea. It erodes trust in the system and makes suckers out of the people with 401k retirement savings. It eats into the returns that can be earned by competent fund managers for savings.

If you believe that the stock market's primary purpose is enabling arbitrage then insider trading is a good idea.

Legalizing insider trading would make it very hard for managers of public companies to do their work. As things stand today there's a "blackout period" each quarter. That's the time when the managers of the company know the results of the previous quarter, but they haven't yet told the public. Legalizing insider trading would eliminate the blackout period. The market would be flooded with rumors and speculation. "An assistant comptroller at QRS Corporation says they lost a big customer. He's a friend of a friend." What a mess that would cause! It would make it even more attractive for companies to go private and remove the ability of the public to invest and share in their success.

Human object recognition has its own common failure modes.

Take almost any photo that has dense content, mirror it, and "faces" or "creatures" will appear. We're primed to parse curvy symmetric shapes as organic, and if there's any hint at all of eyes we'll probably see a face.

Optical illusions are a catalogue of other failures. We can easily be tricked into misreading colours, shapes, and lengths.

Because the visual cortex works at a higher level of abstraction than naive pixel-reading classifiers, we're not likely to be confused by adversarial pixel flipping. But we're just as likely to misread equivalent abstractions at a higher level.

Things get even worse at higher cognitive levels. The recent study into the spread of fake news shows that we're far more likely to mis-parse "facts" than to be ruthlessly objective.

The underlying problem is that we expect AI to show the same predictability that simple digital logic does. AI won't and can't, because the problems operate on a completely different level and uncertainty is built into the domain. The best solutions will be better than humans, but it's naive to think infallibility is possible.

Further to this, it is interesting to consider their motivations.

Usually trade policy is an attempt to reconcile two conflicting goals:

1. To protect your own industries/producers

2. To grow your export markets abroad

They are conflicting, because growing export markets (by striking trade agreements) often requires concessions that may damage sectors of a state's internal market. States attempt to strike the right balance of protectionism and free trade.

The Brexiteers' trade policy seemingly values neither protectionism nor free trade. They do not care if they damage UK producers by flooding the UK market with cheap imports. And they do not care if they damage UK exporters by throwing away all the UK's trade agreements and reverting to WTO terms.

Why? Because they do not care about trade or industry. For ideological reasons they wish to turn the UK into a low-tax, low-regulation state. Trade and industry are a mere inconvenience to them.

The irony is that the UK was already becoming such a state while it was in the EU, and the loss of financial passporting is extremely damaging to the City and thus to the Brexiteers' project. They just haven't realised yet.

> Pretty much anybody who claimed to know the effect of Brexit prior to the referendum was lying. Nobody knew. The outcome would be dependent upon the shape of a deal that hadn't yet been made.

No. The main facts that were known before the referendum were:

We do not have enough legal staff in the government to handle such a large negotiation. Thus we would have to borrow or outsource much of the more backbreaking legal work to other countries.

The implication of leaving the EU implies that we must renegotiate a trade deal with every single country that we are parting with, something that took the EU as a collective _decades_ to do.

Britain would be put on the back-foot in any future negotiations, given that other countries are not at risk from completely and utterly losing trade with most of the world given a failed deal, but we are. Strategically it makes sense to not put yourself in such a position.

Britian would have to adopt the regulations that many claimed were harmful, if it wanted to trade with the EU, just like every other country that has trade with the EU.

It doesn't take a genius to see that this is not a beneficial position to be in as a country.

> The outcome would be dependent upon the shape of a deal that hadn't yet been made.

The deal still hasn't been made, but we can still predict that the outcome of this will be negative based on facts that are clearer to us now, but were present before the referendum took place.

The fact that a large proportion of people admitted that in retrospect they did not know what they were voting for, should have been the point at which we started backpedalling and figuring out where we are.

I have a hard time being sympathetic to folks that were born in a stable an generally safe country, with access to decent (if not prime) education. And all they care during their school years is girls and pot/meth.

Than they blame their unemployment on piss poor migrants that can't even speak the language, or asians that studied their asses off with the little they could make.

There are good people becoming unemployed due to tech advances. The solution is having them learn new trades - not expelling migrants so they can clean bathrooms for $15/h
There's also D3O material. [1] I wear a hat using this when I downhill ski. (Not really interested in a skiing helmet debate. I skied for years long before anyone besides racers wore helmets and I downhill ski very little these days and not very aggressively.)

I don't have a real opinion on when people "ought" to wear helmets. It's a tradeoff. People do have falls walking and accidents in cars where serious injury would have been prevented by wearing a helmet. And many of these sharing services are not practical if one is required to wear a "real" helmet.

as some have said, job hunting while unemployed can be very stressful, increasingly so as time passes. Also, as time passes, potential employers start seeing long unemployment periods suspiciously, unless you have valid reasons for it (family care, education, time-off...), compounding the difficulty of finding a job.
If you are in a hot sector and have hot skills, it may not be a problem, but the reality for the majority of roles and industries is the opposite. My opinion is that potential employers do prefer people who have a job (it provides an indirect validation of your skills). The ability to start immediately is most of the time a plus but not a game changer, given that the base assumption is that candidate will need a notice period. having a job also helps in being more relaxed during interviews and more daring in contract negotiations).
Yes, it is easier to find the time to go to interviews, but today many of the initial rounds happen over the phone and skype. For senior positions it is not rare to be interviewed over dinner.
Personally I would always prefer to keep my job until I have a signed contract from a new employer (unless, i guess, I hated my current job so much to be a mental health issue or I was completely burned-out)

> the colonial plundering of the third world,

At the time of the plundering, the countries that the East India Company plundered were not the third world. They were literally wealthy self-sufficient countries that had not seen famine or serious poverty. It is not an exaggeration that the EIC brought those countries to their knee.

Eg:

"A country that was the world leader in at least three industries- textiles, steel and ship building. A country that had everything... And after 200 years of exploitation, expropriation and clean outright looting, this country was reduced to one of the poorest countries in the world by the time the British left in 1947," he said.

That sounds right, sleep is just the beginning of recovery from burnout. I can get pretty productive for some deadlines, working nonstop, but if there is too much to do, it can become painful to work or think, and the productivity can even come to a complete halt. Only after a week or more can I do anything. So, lessons learned a few years ago, it's best to keep overworking to short bursts, and there are no miracles.

> If I have a leg up on my competition (paving better roads for the same cost)

This sounds great in theory but it doesn't work this way, at least in the private sector. Recently, I had to contract out a 100k pavement parking lot job for the first time for property management. I talked to about 10 different contracting firms, some being indepedent firms - and some firms directly employed by the asphalt plant.

Its very hard to tell what you are going to get if you haven't worked with that contractor before. Sure, everything is on a contract with specific line items that specifies each piece of work done (e.g. uproot asphalt where concrete meets it to pave evenly, compact a 2.5" to 2" using a specific grade mix [there's about 3-10 different mixes]), you can read contractor reviews online, but really how are YOU specifically going to measure the results? How do you know your contractor is really going to be doing a better job than another competitor?

What it all boiled down for me in selecting the vendor is whether or not they actually specified every concern I had regarding the parking lot job. Did they actually care about asking the right questions, did they put every concern I had in writing under the contract? Was the price reasonable? Did this person seem knowledgeable based on past experience? Honestly this is what it all boils down to most of the time in contractual-based jobs when selecting a contractor that is not the lowest bid job.

Public jobs are going to be slightly different, but to the extent the same, depending mostly on the city's municipality. I can't speak from experience here, but it would make much more sense for a government entity to employ stricter regulations on major road arteries (3-4 lane roads) using equipment such as the AMIR. But this is when you have to deal with government bureaucracy, and some contracting firms are not going to look to highly on the need to invest in more expensive equipment and reduce the potential number of jobs they have in the future (since there would be less maintenance needed). Not only that, but also the infrastructure in housing an AMIR along with other cost such as maintenance / training could become costly for the contracting firm.

Minor road arteries / minor jobs (1 or 2 lane roadways) probably not so much since its traditional rollers are extremely portable, have high availability (both for renting, contractors familiar with / used the equipment, etc) and require smaller more versatile machines and can be loaded on one trailer.

In addition, every city municipality is different. Your rural city in the middle of nowhere is not going to really care about using AMIR.

I don't know how much the AMIR cost, but for it to be adopted for widespread use, it would have to have the following:

1. Compact and portability for small and large jobs alike

2. Justified cost for short-term profitability for contractors

3. Enforcement by government and regulations to private industries to use such technology
A key thing to remember about the baroque period: it was almost all improvised - the original jazz, if you will.

Tonal harmony was one of my favourite papers at music school, learning the rules of harmony to compose pieces like this from scratch. I wasn’t great at it, but it’s an amazing skill to observe in those that can do it. I once had a guitar masterclass and the tutor just stood up, jumped on the piano and improvised a fugue. Our minds were blown.
