What? Bayes' theorem does not require anything about the events, even more so it is useful when the events are not independent. If events are independent, Bayes' theorem has no usefulness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes%27_theorem#Statement_of_...

Edit: however now that I look into it, I should rather have used "conditional probabilities" name rather than Bayes'. I always mix both of them, my bad.

> But by the time we hit around 150 people, it became hard to know everyone’s name. So at a company hackathon, a few Stripes created People, a directory to help Stripes meet and get to really know each other.

It's PR-ified, but as someone at a much larger company, I 100% understand and appreciate this product. Here's a few use cases:

- I'm working on something that integrates with another product we offer, X, which I don't work on. I notice something strange about X - perhaps the internal docs are inconsistent with the external docs, perhaps something about X is unclear, whatever. I need a way to figure out who I should talk to about fixing this. An internal directory helps me find this person, or at the very least find someone who will know who to talk to. Without it, I don't even know where to start.

- I'm ramping up on product X, which will be launched in two quarters. My job is to prepare feature Y for the launch, but I realize there are some implications about how we handle user data that may involve GDPR issues. An internal directory helps me figure out who on our legal team is responsible for GDPR compliance and can help me understand the precise obligations I have under GDPR.

- I'm building internal support tooling for product X, but realize that it might also be useful for products Y and Z, which we also offer. Although I might not be able to add features for Y and Z immediately, I'd like to make sure I know what use cases our support teams for Y and Z actually have. An internal directory helps me identify people I can get user feedback from and consequently build an all-around better tool.

In general at a certain size it becomes impossible to know or be introduced to everyone you need to work with to do your job properly. Internal directories solve this problem.

Danish university student here. In the course I'm currently taking, they've made a point of stressing the importance of not rolling your own crypto, along with using salts, and have had assignments where the point was to crack weak encryption like MD5, and do dictionary attacks on stronger crypto. Timing attacks were covered as well.
If it were there would be no one denying it. I don't see _that_ though so my conclusion is that, no, there is no revolution yet.

> That relates to OOP as in languages like Java - not Alan Kay's idea of OOP, which he emphasizes was very different, but I still don't get what's the idea

It's bad of me to react to a single poster because I've seen many similar well reasoned arguments about why OOP is bad, but refer to something I would not call OOP -- I would just call it bad programming.

To put it on it's head, there is a lot of terrible code out there. I wouldn't say that code whose authors believe it is OO is measurably worse than any other code I see. What I agree with is that it also isn't any better (which is often a surprise to those authors). I've seen some good OO code. I've seen some good procedural code. I've seen some good functional code. I've seen some good declarative code. But I've mostly seen terrible examples of all of them :-)

One of the very unfortunate things that happened in the late 80's and 90's was the idea we should write self contained components that we would somehow plug and play all over the place. Despite the many, many horrible systems we wrote like that, the idea refuses to die. Some people believe that this is OO. They are wrong :-)

We have exactly the same problem with "unit testing". Some people mistakenly believe that a "unit" is a piece of code taken in isolation. Then they think, "Hey... it's isolated... what else is isolated? Oh yeah! Objects!" So an object becomes a "unit" and it's tested in isolation... How do I isolate it? Oh yeah! I'll make fake objects for it to talk to.

Yeah, it's a tyre fire. But even though it is popular and even though it is popularly called OO, I think it's a bit unfair. It would be like saying, functions are procedures that return values so the only difference between functional programming and procedural programming is that you always have to return a value. Yeah, it's super wrong, but it's so simple that you could convince a whole bunch of people it's true and then complain about how useless FP is.

I realise that you realise that Alan Kay's idea of OOP is different, but the key part is "I still don't get what's the idea". When you find out, it would be nice to find out your reaction. Otherwise it's really just a strawman rant about how terrible mainstream programmers are (and we are.. terrible, that is ;-) ).
I understand the cynicism. However...

We're actually doing it. 29 states medicinal. Eight states legalized.

In 2008 when Barney Frank and Ron Paul proposed the Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act, there were only 13 medicinal states.

That was all unthinkable just as recently as 1992 when Clinton was elected on a tough on crime platform. Then we watched the prison population number go from 800,000 to 1.3 million just in his eight years; the greatest increase of any President or eight year period since the mass incarceration effort began in the mid 1970s.

Now we've got the Republican President standing down (compare that to Nixon, Reagan or the Bushes), and the top Senate Democrat arguing in favor of Federal legalization. We've come a very long ways in a relatively short amount of time.

What this signals, is that with continued pressure and legalization in more states, Federal legalization is a done deal. Whenever the next Democrat wave arrives that gives them enough votes, that will formally complete it. Otherwise, it's going to get legalized by most states regardless (which will realistically guarantee a Federal legalization).
To be fair, the migration from Talk to Hangouts was pretty smooth, and Hangouts still works.

Google gave up pushing Hangouts for consumers but I don't think it's going anywhere, as it's a big part of G-suite for corporate customers. Though with Slack and Discord I'm sure it's usage isn't as strong as it once was.
Not many of those qualify for "fine enough".

The statistics on this speak a far different truth - one where most of the time, you're going to get rejected no matter how good you are, because you're competing with hundreds of other candidates for one position.
Automata and FSM
At a conceptual level, it does have many advantages. For one thing, it's just part of your phone, you never have to install anything. You don't have to market it to anyone, it just automagically rolls out through the world as people buy new devices and carriers adopt it.

But I'm concerned that the intransigence of carriers, especially those that operate in non-competitive environments, will get in the way of rolling it out properly and effectively.

Hey OP, I'm a self taught programmer and former tech recruiter. I wish I had a BSCS for the following reasons:

- it would have been easier to get interviews at places I wanted to work when I had less experience

- it would be easier to get interviews now at places I want to work if I had prior experience at companies like the ones I could have joined with a BSCS

- I'd finally know what I could have learned in school but didn't, and what I just needed to learn on my own

- I'd spend less energy on feeling like I have something to prove to BSCS grads

If I were in a BSCS program, and I wanted to drop out, I'd do the following before bailing:

- prove to myself that I could power through boring work AND do it well to reduce the chances that I'd get fired from a job because I couldn't/wouldn't do the crap work that job required of me

- I'd seriously look at my finances to understand how much time I could afford to be unemployed, because I was damn broke in school, and if I got canned from a good coding job, and had to take a crappy non-coding job, I'd have less time to code, which would make it hard to get another good coding job

- immediately start living as cheaply as possible on cash I had, only using student loan money for school expenses, and completely staying away from credit cards

- line up a job before dropping out, and keep still playing student well enough until I had that job

- talk to my professors about my challenges in remaining interested in school, and see if they can offer me some perspective that might help me appreciate the pros and cons of staying in school, because unlike your boss at work, you can talk to professors about your non-growth/personal development

- find some professional mentors who could guide me on how to be an employee and/or entrepreneur

- stop throwing around derogatory terms like "code monkey", because that kind of job may be the I could get, and I wanna certain I'm not insulting people with whom I'll be working by unintentionally coming across as an ahole

- figure out how to pay for health insurance

It depends what your goals are, but those development nevertheless sound useful.

If you want to stay "human-comparable", it sounds as if it wouldn't be hard to artificially impose those restriction on an AI - e.g. you could simulate a "viewport" that the AI can move around and restrict the micro engine to only take inputs from within that viewport, etc.

(Assuming the AI could make use of that advantage anyway. If I remember correctly, there is a lot of research going on that uses "attention" itself as a primitive in AI architecture. So depending on the architecture, AI might not always be able to make use of that advantage.)

On the other hand, an AI that does use infinite-micro strategy might be useful for UI research. E.g., you could pit it against a human player and use the human player's performance as a benchmark for UI improvements.

"you think you can't possibly learn anything useful from the professors that are teaching you"

Of course, it is possible that you will learn from the professor, but that you would learn _more_ by doing other things with four years of your life. University ahs no monopoly on knowlege.

Also it's disturbing what starting life with a gigantic, crushing pile of debt can do. (It doesn't have to be this way, but I've seen plenty of even quite intelligent individuals go this route and regret it).

If you can, take advantage of things like junior colleges. They're amazing. I owe my career not to my degree (pointless, though people at least tend to say "well you can't be an idiot" when they see a physics degree), but rather to what I learned taking a few night classes at Santa Monica College (including assembly, which was good fun) while working a day job and doing some projects for fun.

National income is correlated with percent of population in workforce. Poorer countries are correlated with lower levels of total employment.

You very definitely don't need to expose the social graph to the api. We are doing exactly that in Peergos [1][2]. Your social graph is only stored in encrypted form in your own storage space (in IPFS). The source of a follow request can't be deduced by anyone except the recipient.

If you start integrating Tor/i2p hidden services, even global passive network adversaries will struggle to figure out the social graph from network monitoring.

Just from our own subjective experience we know that for certain situations, feelings are a much better match than for example visualization (even though both often go together, visuals activating feelings, feelings bringing up visual memories/scenarios) etc.

Don't drop out; you'll spend your whole career trying to push open closed doors (it gets easier with many years' experience or during an acute skills drought, but the issue never goes away completely).

Study whatever you enjoy most. It'll be easier for you to excel that way, and you'll still get the all-important degree.

Once you get your career underway, continue to learn and work on whatever interests you most; be prepared to continually learn and adapt over the decades. New technologies and ideas will come along that haven't been imagined yet, while some of the stuff you study at uni will be surprisingly relevant later.

Best of luck!
