Not really. Less than 50% of Pixar employees' children at their day care are vaccinated. And these are people with much more money, and thus more political clout, than average.

1. We haven't 'figured out' intelligence, far from it, we don't even know what we don't know.

Your comment sounds like Lord Kelvin proclaiming that physics is "over" a couple years before people figured out there were huge holes in the theory which eventually led to quantum mechanics. Our understanding of intelligence is probably less complete than our understanding of physics _back then_.

2. ML is really underwhelming if you measure it against actually intelligent behavior. Figuring out cool regression mechanisms is neat and all, but that's what it is, and it has nothing to do with intelligence in the general sense, much like expert systems had nothing to do with actual domain knowledge, they were just one of the most primitive models, low-hanging fruit that we could exploit.
> Were Obama’s disapproval ratings not always in the 40-55% range, which are right where Trump’s are?

No, they were not always in that range, and that's a huge range; the only time Trump has been anywhere near 40% is the initial honeymoon phase, where Obama was in the 20s.

> My guess is Obama’s disapproval rating would have started off far higher too if Republicans were rioting in the streets and claimed cheating in the wake of his election.

Yes, mass protests tend to be a symptom of widespread and strong opposition (another sign of widespread opposition is getting fewer votes than the other major party candidate; George W. Bush had the same problem, and started with the same poor numbers as Trump; unlike Trump, he managed to improve them to more typical early first term numbers quite quickly, even before the post-9/11 rally around the flag effect.)

exceptionally well, the only other comparable manufacturer would be Dell that offers some native Linux/Ubuntu machines. You can expect huge issues with all other vendors.
I agree, that's the issue. I suppose it will depend on the application need, and the criticality.

If you need to prove that life-saving drugs have been kept at the correct temperature throughout their shelf-life, you can probably afford a RFID tag per pack, with a unique ID.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you are talking about low-criticality tracability of shipments of bulk materials, you can probably admit supplier-defined batch numbers. You could imagine that a rogue manufacturer would try to cheat and re-use a batch number from a "premium" raw material while using a cheaper one. Blockchain would not provide a protection against false declaration, it would on the other end provide an immutable papertrail in case of later legal investigation / certification audit (ie "you purchased X premium parts and Y inferior parts, but you logged using X+Y premium parts, how do you explain that?")

The one thing I like about the trackpoint is that I don't really have to move my hands to use it.
Nice that you posted client examples.

I think your examples do not really prove the role of visual design conclusively because in the 18 month time-frame, the folks at Groove must have had several efforts running concurrently with the explicit goal of increasing revenue. The web site facelift you were engaged for happened to be one of the steps they took towards that goal.

For instance, they would have intensified sales, marketing, customer success, fixed bugs in the product etc in addition to the revamped website, so we can't really pin the significant jump in revenue from $1m to $5m on visual refresh alone.

Not trying to diminsh the work that you did, merely trying to put things in perspective because our tendencies as humans is to misattribute causation, which is bound to happen if all contributing factors to a thing's success are not properly considered.

how about scanning a barcode or a RFID reader ? This information is already read and stored in ERP. Is it such a technological step to imagine a RFID reader or an ERP module that would write the information in a blockchain? I don't see the objection here.

The blockchain would be a decentralized papertrail accessible to all actors of the supply chain, down to the end consumer ideally, instead of the current nightmare of shipment papers, siloed ERPs and so on
It doesn't have to be a nightmare. GDPR is so big that it has real chances to shape the way how we all think when dealing with personal data, both online and offline. It's a process that will probably take years. During that process, there will undoubtedly emerge a bunch of solutions for different problems caused by GDPR which will lead to a new set of standards and behavior/business patterns.

The main problem now is the lack of practice - almost everyone is talking about what GDPR is and what should be done... there is apparent lack of advice coming from real-world practice... yet. And this will also change in time.

My opinion is that we all need to be clear about one thing: "why do I need the (personal) data and what will I do with it." Privacy by design. No more "I'll save everything, just in case."
If you can determine what minimal set of personal data you need to collect and why you need that data, you should be fine. It's entirely possible that processing you're about to perform on received personal data can be a legitimate interest. Or contractual. Consent is not necessary for every situation.

Different technical and best practice solutions will emerge, some of them will be open-source (like our https://github.com/gdprhq/GdprHq.Io.ClientSdk), some of them will be SaaS solutions (like https://www.gdprhq.io/). Nowadays it's natural to use, for example, MailChimp for sending email campaigns or using Stripe for payments; I believe that similar situation will be with GDPR: solution for cookie consent, privacy policy, data subject requests, consents, ...

No, it's not. From the source cited upthread, here's what other Presidents had at the same point in their Presidency as Trump's current 53.6% disapproval:

Obama: 45.3%
Bush 43: 17.6%
Clinton: 40.2%
Bush 41: 15.3%
Reagan: 45.0%
Carter: 34.5%
Ford: 38.6%
Nixon: 31.4%
Johnson: 15.1%
Kennedy: 12.0%
Eisenhower: 22.2%
Truman: 45.1%
Introduction of new regulations is a common strategy to favor old players against newcomers for two reasons: newcomers are less informed about future regulation changes and often have less R&D and budget to evolve quickly. Politics are happy because old players will give them money to pass these regulations and it is easy to pretend that they are good for the people.
Is this any more unusual than what Apple did with the iPhone,iPad, and Apple Watch with regards to third party developers?
In some sense "more urbanization faster" does solve some of the problems here.

But keep in mind you'd be transplanting people away from their social support networks into a higher cost of living area with a different economic composition, and there are costs (and risks) to all of that, especially if families are involved.

If we paid for moving, housing, childcare, retraining, job placement, and frequent travel expenses back to keep up connections between children and extended family it'd make it trivial.

Though you could probably just UBI people where they stand and it'd be cheaper.
"Mate", not "maté". I guess it's cool to add random accents to foreign words to make them look more exotic, but this changes the pronunciation of the word and in fact turns into a different one.

"Mate" refers to "yerba mate" (as in the article) or even the gourd used to consume it; it's also a common abbreviation of "jaque mate", "checkmate". "Maté", on the other hand, means "I killed".
No pictures and only tangentially related but interesting anyway.
Sorry, I replied somewhere else, I don't feel like copypasting, but roughly the blockchain would not prevent false declaration. It would 1) considerably simplify the non-fraudulent papertrail 2) provide an auditable record for investigation in case of either fraud investigation or certification audit

That’s only through the same point in his Presidency as where Trump is currently; W. was really unpopular by the time he left office, IIRC, a little worse than Trump's current numbers.
For what it's worth, Wikipedia includes this explanation:

> "In English, "mate" is occasionally written "maté", to distinguish it from other meanings of the word mate, although this spelling is not used in Spanish or Portuguese."

A similar example is "résumé", so as to not be confused with "resume".

No, they were not always in that range, and that's a huge range

They weren’t always there, but they certainly wound up there as his Presidency dragged on and things like Obamacare began to hit people’s wallets. Where it wound up is what matters, as people can’t disapprove of things that haven’t happened yet (except in Trump’s case, where some Democrats were calling for impeachment before he was inaugurated).

Yes, mass protests tend to be a symptom of widespread and strong opposition

The protests were driven by the media’s response, which were unlike anything that any candidate has faced before. The media was furious that they were unable to influence the election for Hillary, and then they realized that they could profit from the polarization. With enough negative media coverage, anything can sound like a big problem to those that allow the media to shape their opinions.

That was a relatively small number of extreme right wingers, and they were quickly branded by the media as nutjobs (and rightly so, as long as Obama had his papers in order). That movement wasn’t mainstream, unlike the Trump cheating/collusion claims.

That would take a ton of work to make it all 64bit safe again. Basically redoing iOS 7.
"Security by obscurity" tries to keep the way that your encryption method works obscure, it does not try to keep a specific key obscure.

For example, if your way to encrypt works like this:

1) Shift all letters along by 5.

2) Cut out every second word and put them behind the message in order.

3) Whenever there's an f, s or y in a word, double up that word and shift the second word's letters by 7.

Then if your enemy figures out how your method works, you have to come up with a completely different method.

The opposite to security by obscurity would instead once come up with a method that entirely depends on a key. You can then publicize that method (or not), and if your enemy finds out your key, you just choose a new key and you're fine again.

Here’s a nice summary of some studies:

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-ta...
The data says that Trump's disapproval ratings are already averaging over 50, which is unusual, and so far his highest disapproval rating has been 58%. The exact range for Trump so far has been 44-58, whereas for Obama's presidency his range was 19-56. Only the most partisan analysis can pretend that those look the same. At this point in his presidency, Obama was at his highest disapproval level so far, and it was 46% - Trump hasn't seen disapproval that low since January 2017. (You may not be aware that disapproval ratings are not actually calculated as 100-approval). Obama never hit the net disapproval levels that Trump is at.

I also want to point out that it's pretty facile to assert that if Republicans had disapproved of Obama more strongly, he would have been more strongly disapproved of.
“résumé” is not really a similar example, because that is the actual spelling of the word in French. Edit: but according to your link sometimes only the latter accent is kept in English.

The US is not the centre of the world. I'm a researcher and even though the immigration process is smoother for academics, others and I have long since decided not to pursue work in the US. There are many reasons, but amongst them are the populist government, draconian "America first, rest of the world second" policies (that have existed since the Bush era, not just Trump), dropping or stagnant science funding and (obviously only in some aspects) the expert-hostile society.
Still, factoring in the unprecedented liberal media headwinds faces by Trump, I’d say his numbers are amazingly good and still within the range of Obama’s after Obamacare began hitting people’s wallets.

That’s either scary or good, depending on your political leanings I suppose.

Don’t take my assessment of the numbers as a defense of Trump. I didn’t vote for him or Hillary, and I think he is both way off in the weeds on many issues and making us look bad on the world stage.

> I don't think being a corporate mouthpiece was the reason Hillary lost; I think it had more to do with her lack of charisma

Maybe, but her being a corporate mouthpiece combined with her lack of charisma, combined with her 2016 loss is a big reason a sizable part of the activist base of the party is in open rebellion against the dominance of the neoliberal wing of the party, and why it's been able to force concessions (though not won outright) over internal leadership issues within the party. The 2020 nominee will probably be to the right of Sanders , but the party won't hold together if they are as firmly in the corporate camp as Clinton, much less the “biggest corporate bootlicker Democrat we’ve ever seen”.
