Quote the entire sentence if you want to quote me there. I do not think "trained ethics experts" should fall into any equation whatsoever. There are enough of them in the middle east and deep south. We don't need them infecting the intelligent world anymore than they do already. The conversation should not be driven by an intellectual movement that is equivalent to a bunch of cavemen poking a coconut with sticks.

As my post that you're responding to stated, this will enter the mainstream in a few years with a lot of unqualified people voicing their opinions. Hopefully the qualified people end up drafting the laws (note: not professional ethicists)
You know what comes next - some other scandal from some other area of the economy (like the financial markets melting down again) and the vast majority of people move on from this and continue using Facebook as they always have. The only reason these issues are getting so much attention is because the mass media is over-clocking their coverage and it's in everyone's face right now. I suspect the media is using the same fear mongering tactics the alt-right typically employs for more hits and increased ad revenue - i.e. "Hey everyone, Facebook has used your private data to elect Trump!"

Does anything Facebook (or third party companies) do with your private data actually have an impact in the day to day lives of the vast majority of the world's population? Sure, hyper-targeted advertising and echo-chamber content curation can have a negative impact to society, but these are macro issues. People will generally follow the path of least resistance and if you give them something of high utility for no cost and no immediate negative impact to their daily lives, they will conveniently ignore many serious issues that should otherwise be concerning.
Does your argument imply that all regulation is failure?

Also, why assume that Machine Behavior specialists would not be not AI experts?
Thanks! And for the VRF tip.
After the Meltdown patch and Intel's exposed security flaws, Apple might still be better off with less powerful processors.
I think scaring Intel enough to be better about its software and security practices is a big enough effect that would be beneficial for everyone. Not that I'm a big fan of close-source-everything Apple. But Intel's Software is just a horrible mess (note that I'm talking specifically about software: they seem to contract out software development to other firms and the code quality seems to be objectively bad as a result)
I've sworn off big arena shows as well, basically anything with capacity for more than 500 people.

I find smaller shows to be much more enjoyable, especially from the perspective of a fan, who actually wants to hear the music and have a reasonable chance of actually seeing the artists.
At least on iOS, proof by demonstration. Install the app, turn on clipboard sharing, copy something on your mac, then open the iOS app. You'll see the "Pasting from your Mac" dialog pop up pretty frequently.
Maybe not Parallels, but VMWare Fusion always seemed like a skunkworks side-project that almost got killed off at least once. Their cash cow is enterprise hypervisors, not $60 consumer windows emulation, unfortunately. (Fusion has been serving me very well for windows and .NET development purposes so far)
When Apple switches, their processors are likely going to be 2x faster than Intels. It will be a huge jump.
>highly contradictory

Not true. If the internal logic of a religious text can be used to justify violence, it's not contradictory. Violence may contradict the popular conception of a religious text, but if a book can be used as a tool for a particular use, eventually it will be. Religious texts don't get patches.
I'm not sure how bitcoin's artificial restriction of throughput (which still didn't kill it in any sense) means that all cryptocurrencies either suffer from a fee death spiral or spam. Neither has seemed to happen even in extreme circumstances.

Bitcoin's nonsense propaganda has nothing to do these assertions of inherent flaws with crypto-currencies.
If it's not the 5268AC, please let marty at cloudflare dot com know as well. According to a reply on NANOG, he is interested in knowing about other broken CPE.

> In this instance, Apple would likely be going to a less powerful processors…

Arguably, the A11 Bionic is already faster than mainstream desktop CPUs.

"The iPhone 8 even edged out the score from the 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro with a 7th-generation Core i5 processor. That notebook notched 9,213. Is Geekbench 4 really comparable from phone to desktop? According to the founder of Geekbench, John Poole, 'the short is answer is yes that the scores are comparable across platforms, so if an iPhone 8 scores higher than an i5, then the iPhone 8 is faster than the i5.'"[1]

> This allows Apple to switch to intel chip on iPhone, or switch to an ARM chip on MacOS.

Not easily. It's optional on iOS [1], and doesn't support completely new (non-ARM) CPU architectures. On macOS, the feature doesn't exist at all.

[1]: https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/devbbdc5ce4f

In theory an LLVM-based bitcode-like system could allow Apple to change CPUs and automatically recompile App Store binaries without developer intervention, but their current bitcode system does not support that.
Software Engineer at Voxy
If you are a software engineer looking use your talent in an endeavour more noble than tricking consumers into buying a new widget or helping traders earn big bonuses, take a look at Voxy. Voxy software engineers will change the way millions of people around the world learn English by using sound science combined with innovative (and patented!) technology.

What You'll Do
- Accelerate Voxy's ability to automatically transform authentic content into lessons for our learners using NLP and advanced text/video processing
- Learn… about machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Build nicely-instrumented code that is testable and deployable without downtime, including A/B testing of features
- Evolve our big data pipeline to use real time feedback for an optimal platform for learners
- Design a best in breed application that is enjoyable to work with, performant to our partners, and evolves with our learners

What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience working as a commercial software developer
- Curiosity and knowledge about technologies and architectural patterns of software engineering across the entire stack
- Pragmatism in understanding when to build the solution that scales to 1 million users or works for 100 users
- Build new data models that reflect the Voxy business using advanced SQL/NoSQL/ORM's

What Would Be Nice To Have:
- Modern front end javascript frameworks such as vue
- Django
- AWS and devops
- B.S. or higher in computer science, science or engineering discipline or equivalent experience
They are absurdly competent with CPU design. The A series chips are already matching or even surpassing the performance of lower tier Intel chips. Keep in mind these chips were first introduced IIRC in 2011 with the iPhone 4S, are designed to be passively cooled (no fans) and are limited by the battery constraints of iPhones and iPads. They could conceivably 'scale them up' for laptops and desktops and get a significant performance boost.
I would argue that the selling of data is the second most destructive byproduct of social media, the first being dehumanization becoming part and parcel with online communication - and its bleeding into offline.

I believe the reason that extreme ideologies on both sides of the spectrum have gained a foothold in recent years is because their ideas lend themselves to the hyperbolic, binary patterns of online discussion.

We should put "social media" to pasture and try to come up with something better.
Most roads are generally a public good, which are not used to generate profit to enrich a small number of people. It's also clear where they lead and how they work.

Facebook on the other hand have put themselves in a position where they make a profit my offering proprietary mediation (via content selection algorithms and censorship) on top of UGC, as an ad-revenue optimization engine. Once you're in the optimized-mediation business, you're faced with lots of choices, and many of them will pitch people's lives against your profits (not just ad-revenues, but how many people to hire, and where to invest them).
Once it's made, a chat room starts out with 2HP, and it loses 1 every 15 minutes. If people talk, it stays at the same HP, and if people talk a lot it gains 1 HP (to a maximum of 4).
Who profits off the roads? Because that's what's at issue here.
From the wiki:

"landowner may be held liable for injuries to children trespassing on the land if the injury is caused by an object on the land that is likely to attract children"

This is precisely the point, facebook did not do anything special to attract these events. Quite they opposite they try to eliminate it, however successfully.
Well, I posted this down thread, but I have the same response:

Well, I don't agree that I've misunderstood.
Like, there are many subtle levels between me and the professionals in my craft. And there are many, many levels between me and rank amateurs. But the fact remains that Limbaugh probably could sing; if I held hit nuts to the fire, he'd probably be able to croak out at least Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...

It isn't the case that there is a hard distinction between the laity and the priests of music-- we're all just doing our best.

And no, frankly I don't think El Rushbo is up for composing abstract musical compositions; he only thinks he is because he's happily enjoying his ignorance about the reality of music production to score some points in his fantasy of what a culture war looks like.

But here's a response to the question you ask:

So the question begged by your question: given the importance of context, why does the provenance of a piece of art matter outside of that context?

For instance, s there a difference between the mona lisa "original" and a copy you hang on your wall?

If there is a difference, then the who produced it and the context does matter regardless of who can tell a "fake".

If there is no difference, why would your hypothetical lottery be relavent to the status of art as art... wouldn't the art be in the eye of whoever is trying to judge the work?
"According to the article, those would still be using Intel chips."

Where do you see that?
Right, same group that owns HTC. They did have some big-ish lawsuits going with Apple some years back. So maybe not that easy, in practice.

I used to be skeptical of accredited investor requirements [1] until cryptocurrencies happened. That an entire space can (a) go from zero to fraud in the blink of an eye and (b) not only ignore the delineation between gambles and core investments, but develop a collective disdain for it and anyone espousing it, has me convinced of the rule's wisdom.

Investing in start-ups costs money. Diligence costs money, negotiating terms costs money and staying up to date on corporate actions costs time, and when it matters, more money. Those who can't afford that not only sets themselves up to get screwed, they bring down the quality of the ecosystem.

There is no person (a) who doesn't meet the accredited investor requirement and (b) for whom an illiquid, volatile security like start-up equity is a prudent risk-reward decision.

> although humans can be studied without knowing the structure of their brains, (psychology, sociology, etc...) machines of today cannot.

why?

Or do you mean that study of some humans is generalizable to most/all humans, whereas machines lack this consistency and generalizability?

Anyway, why would this concern prevent "feature detection" tests that apply to all machines?
Not everyone wants a mobile PC.

The mac mini is essentially 1700 days old since they downgraded the processors.

I only have macs because I build apps on them. I buy used and as inexpensively as possible. Using an old i5 for development currently.

I wanted to be an Apple fanboy, but having to rebuy critical software for even point releases because of stability killed that off for me long ago.

Best Apple I've ever owned (beyond my //e) was the Dual Processor Quicksilver. Case opened on the side, you had many upgrade options and it even looked nice (irrelevant to me but I'm sure that matters to some).

ARM will simply be the new PPC. You think things like supporting external graphics cards (yay they just got limited AMD support) and having high end rigs isn't what people want, especially in the gaming community?
The Dalai Lama represents Vajrayana Buddhism, which has tended to be more peaceable. Myanmar and Sri Lanka - two Buddhist countries that have persecuted minorities within - are of the Theravada school. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern,_Eastern_and_Northern...

>Essentially, if they were to chose to leave, they'd owe 40% of their base pay prorated by the remainder of their contract, as-well as the potential requirement to return some bonuses received. Vacation days are lost, and there are typically non-competes within the same region.

That's entirely beside the point. They freely entered into those contracts. Now that push has come to shove, they chose money and personal well-being over their integrity and beliefs. (Or maybe they were OK with the message they were ordered to read, in which case their integrity is intact.)
Thanks for the comment!

None of the religious texts of the popular religions where a particular text is central have a strong, well-defined “internal logic”, just a variety of different interpretations of varying popularity.

About roads, and mobile phones, and the internet. Looking further afield, confidentiality in finance is generally considered a good thing but has enabled many of the world's worst dictators. The US government has installed or propped up many of those dictators in the name of principles that were (at least by some) considered good at the time. Some people think unlimited access to guns is a good thing, but there have been some debates recently about the consequences of that. Killers use many services. So do police. Blanket assertions about whether the provider of a given service is good or bad are worth a lot less than analyses of what they might do - or be allowed to do - that would have shifted the balance.
What saddens me the most is that there are a lot of "small" issues that are found now (and by small I don't mean that they are not critical or important, just that they are a small feature/% of the whole), and we forget that Apple teams managed to upgrade the whole filesystem to APFS on this version of macOS, which is a huge feat. We haven't heard that many problems with the filesystem itself or with the upgrade, which is truly impressive at that scale and complexity.

When I say “hotel” I didn’t mean some particular category of operation - I meant “commercially by-the-night rented rooms”. Such as a 2-room inn above an English pub, or any 1-room B&B on the French countryside.

Obviously the regulations that should apply for a person renting out a single apartment on AirBnB shouldn’t be more burdensome than the very simplest Inn/B&B.
This doesn’t work for professional apps, many of which are a collection of work areas controlled by tens or even hundreds of menu options.

iOS doesn’t handle that kind of UI well.

There’s also the cost issue. All but the most exotic iOS apps cost less than $100. Many professional apps cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

It’s not just a fundamentally different market. The products are fundamentally different in critical ways.

I can imagine a hybrid MacPad product - maybe a dual-panel clamshell - but if it’s done badly it would be the worst of both worlds.

I auspect it could a succesful replacement for the iOS product line, with dual MacPadOS and iOS support.

But I can’t see it working for professionals without a lot of breakage.
Who can then pocket all the money?

>Does that process need to be any different from PRs on github? Can't all that be distributed across a team of researchers working on the topic of the journal, just as PRs on github

It's not the same as a github PR because wading through a mountain of badly written papers is work researchers do not want to do. That's what a publisher (like Elsevier) does. See example of Elsevier employee Angelica Kerr.[1] It should be easy to see that scientists would think it's a waste of their time to do Angelica Kerr's work.

I didn't get a chance to respond to the reply by allenz that suggested that journal chiefs should hire their own editing and administration staff. Again, that "solution" makes the same mistake of thinking scientists will do something they have no interest in doing. They don't want the hassles of "contracting" an editing team.

The research publishing is not a "software problem" that's solvable by a "software platform solution." You can't solve it by applying social platform mechanics such as github PRs and/or votes of StackOverflow/Reddit. (My parent comment tries to explain this.[2])
