As someone who likes to listen Sam Harris, reads Michael Shermer and sometimes even listens Joe Rogan and have read a little Mr. Peterson, I want to comment these guys.

Firstly things first: If I criticize these guys it does not mean that I think their net contribution is net negative.

Sam Harris is smart and nice to listen, but he identifies with his opinions very strongly. He has very clear tendency to "shut down intellectually" when challenged. I have listened enough of his podcasts to realize the moment when he turns defensive. The rest of the podcast is just him repeating his point of view in different ways until the quest leaves it to be. He goes from rational to rationalizing very fast.

Shermer has a good cause, but his error is breaching to the choir and skipping into conclusion. He always selects the easiest thing to debunk and waves away everythign else. He is fundamentalist christian turned turned into fundamentalist skeptic. He contributes less and less intellectually.

I really appreciate what Jordan Peterson is doing. He actually concentrates on the positive for a group of people who are fed confrontation and anger. But his approach is motivational/charismatic, not scientific even if he has all the credential. That's not a bad thing if he can reach people.

Joe Rogan is the purest case of "manly bullshit". It's entertaining if you understand that it has just entertainment value, nothing intellectual. He is smarter Alex Jones without negativity or ill intent. I think his net positive effect comes from attracting people who fall into every and conspiracy theory from negative influences.

Conclusion: Opinionated is not intellectual. Intellectually these guys are punching below their weight class. We should not compare them to Richard Dawkins or others or give them status as top intellectuals challengers.

> Udacity offered a single course for say, CNN's and GAN's, going very deep into the math and processes behind them.

I think that's what are they going to do next with their AI school. They announced separate nanodegrees for CV, NLP and RL. However, I hope they aren't going to be such massive disappointments as AI ND term 2, where they basically didn't deliver what they promised, castrated projects and one could finish each of term 2 specializations in one weekend (i.e. removing image captioning project, removing real-world NLP project, etc.). A similar story happened with Robotics term 2, where instead of a real robot they promised you received a standard discount for NVidia TX2, and reinforcement learning was butchered from robot walking to robotic arm movement. So I am doubtful they can really live up to their promises with their current staff that keeps underdelivering. The only ND they made absolutely breathtaking, worth every penny, was Self-driving Car ND (IMO the best [not only online] course I've ever taken, and I took many from top 10 universities).
The laws are already on the books. Police could choose to apply heavier enforcement regardless of whether or not self driving cars become a thing.

If the law itself is unjust or inappropriate, protest the law.
It should discourage it. I don't want to buy new products and have them turn out to be recycled. Obviously, a used/recycled/refurbished product has unpredictable reliability.

>I can say I truly don't understand how phillips ever even took hold over flatheads. Cheap phillips head screws seem designed to strip out.

It's not cheap ones; Phillips heads were designed to strip out. It's the very reason they're used.

The whole idea was to use them in factory assembly, so that workers wouldn't overtorque them. You put them in and tighten, and when they cam out, you're done.

If you want a fastener that can be easily removed, and maybe reused several times, Phillips is the wrong choice.

And if you have a torque-limiting screwdriver, as should be common in any modern factory, then Phillips is simply obsolete and unnecessary.
I’m sure those guys’ consulting firms will be delighted that you have been convinced of the ‘authenticity’, ‘independence’, and ‘personality’ that they carefully helped their clients craft based on their mood boards and focus groups :)
I have been thinking about the same and my thinking has been trying to leverage Google Drive, Dropbox for the user to store the data, this way they would own it all, but it seems weirdly complicated since you would have to support multiple and you would not earn any money or you would still have to store user data.
Random aside: once in high school I took a math puzzle test. The only problem I skipped was because they asked for "integral solutions." I knew the word "integral" only as belonging to calculus, about which I knew nearly nothing at the time. If I had realized in context it just meant "integer" I could have done it!

That's basically what CarPlay and Android Auto are, with the addition of specific app UIs when they are projecting to the car display and a few other bits of shared data between the phone and car (for things like steering wheel controls).

Volvo supports both of those as well in their current infotainment systems.
Unfortunately, at times I look at GNU and see that it's a project whose success is in spite of RMS. He gave a good basis in the original manifest, gave generally good inspiration, but that's what it is - inspiration. Said inspiration made people work on the projects that over time somehow managed to end up under GNU umbrella. But a lot of RMS-managed, top-down GNU projects? Never got anywhere.

See also the discussion mentioned by Ulrich Drepper back in 2001, regarding RMS' behaviour back when Ulrich started to port glibc to linux.
Well, that's the whole thing about environmental regulation. The problem is energy expenditure. Everything you do, down to breathing, expenses energy. Some things more. Some things less.

A good proxy for energy is price. This is a heuristic of course, it's not perfect.

So if you want to know what it would take to do good for the environment, imagine that you can only spend half as much on everything. Your backpack, your iPhone, ... everything. Not because you don't have the money, but because environmental regulation means you can't spend it like that.

So only $20 restaurants. No iPhones, only cheap androids (no flagships) (or of course, if you like featurephones that's fine). No BMW 5-series or SUV, just a hatchback, and one of the smaller ones. And so on and so forth.

If you want to regulate this, that means those products would simply become out of reach of the normal person. Not even because they don't have the money, but because it's forbidden for them to spend it like that.

Still a lie. And you still believe in it even after seeing an example in contrary.
When my wife and I bought our house, I thought the previous owner had stripped the hell out of some Phillips screws... then I learned what Robertson (square) screws were.

After getting the proper bit though, I’ve started to really appreciate them. I don’t think I’ve ever stripped a single one.
Punishing himself is the losing money aspect. It doesn't matter where it goes technically for it to be a punishment. His goal is to not lose money.

But to make it worthwhile (aka the reward part of the punishment), the donations are directed to charity since they need to go somewhere. So that's a small reward built into the punishment.
The major difference between YouTube and a recovering alcoholics group in real life is that watching a YouTube video isn't compulsory. You don't have to watch it if you don't want to. If someone monopolizes the conversation at the alcoholics group - talks over others - you can't turn off your ears, or realistically physically remove them without serious effort. On YouTube, you can easily avoid videos you don't want to watch just by reading the title.

If someone incorrectly titles their video to mislead people of the opposite view to view their content, I imagine that censoring that video is not problematic to anyone.

Finally, it is probably a good thing that if you search a particular topic on YouTube, you will presumably get videos both in the 'pro' column and the 'con' column so you do not fall into an ideological bubble.
Create a macOS Application from an executable (like a Go binary)
No, they don't just seem to: Phillips was specifically designed to cam out. It was invented for this very purpose. When you're cursing with a Phillips screw that's stripped-out, you need to know that the fastener is doing exactly what it was designed to. The problem is people expecting these screws to be easily removable; that was never the intention. And the other problem is people using them for applications where they might want to remove them one day; that again is contrary to the design goal and intended use of the Phillips screw.
> Suddenly you can't receive payments if you don't hold any coins yourself.

This is completely untrue. The person who is sending you coins can open up a channel to you and load it with the money they're sending you. Sometimes they won't even need to open a channel because you already have one open, but just with no funds on your end of it. Eventually, exchanges will support loading up channels directly this way such that users never actually need to touch the base Bitcoin layer directly, and will deal purely in LN transactions except when they need to settle disputes.
But it's equivalent (in terms of capacity and robustness) to all other half inch pipes, the first of which had a half inch diameter. Or something like that - the Wikipedia page is complicated.

In some ways that's more useful. If you're designing a gas pipe for a house you probably care more about "how much gas can I get through this pipe" and "what is the failure rate" than "will I be able to fit it through a 0.83 inch hole".

It's annoying that "half inch" etc were the terms co-opted here instead of, say, "a level 4 pipe". But there is some reason for it.

> Commenting on downvotes is discouraged in the HN guidelines. It's boring, it's trite and this isn't Reddit/Voat.

No, it really reeks of Reddit. It tells a lot about the community if they downvote solely for the reason of making a comment (or a prediction) on downvotes. I'm pretty sure many people downvoted it only because of that, completely ignoring anything else he has said. Apparently that's how this community operates. I did get downvoted for my tone alone, and let me tell you this: I said exactly the same thing as some of the people who have been upvoted and are on the top. I was also curious about the people who commented on my tone (and likely downvoted me), and surprise: based on their previous comments in other threads/posts, their views were quite similar to mine; the only difference was the tone. Perhaps we should add emojis so I could spam friendly emojis all around my comments. :) <3
It seems based on other comments that it varies wildly by manufacturer. Several others in here mentioned issues with the same vehicle I have. Really unfortunate, it’s clearly better than the built in software. Maybe there is hope that Volvo will issue an update that improves stability.
>I’ve mainly had the problem when getting them out.

Yeah, that's your problem right there. Removing an old Phillips screw will take more (usually much more) torque than it took to install it, so it'll cam out. The problem is that you're trying to get them out. Don't do that. Phillips screws were never designed for removal that way. They were meant to be used for installation only, and to limit torque on installation. If it's been installed with thread-locker, that should be a sign to you that it's never supposed to be removed. If you want a screw that's meant to be removed after years of service, pick something else; Phillips is not designed for this.
It depends on the city. My nearest metro does enforce them... at locations for which a particularly large number of people are wont to illegally cross, such as around the University.

Otherwise, enforcement is spotty at best, because the police have better things to do, such as ticket parked cars with expired tabs or meters.

If there were a sudden uptick in pedestrian-car collisions, you can bet they'll crack down.

None of the above addresses whether the law SHOULD be on the books, which is what people should put their efforts towards changing, if they feel is unjust. Protesting car companies that make self driving cars because they don't like an already existing set of laws is just misguided at best, and intellectually dishonest at worst.
Given that animals regulate their procreation rates as well, this may not be such a rational choice as you think. When we judge ourselves as having space and resources, we procreate. When we don't, we don't. Humans explain this to themselves as having a choice, made along some axis, but that's at best partially true.

But in 4 billion years nature has in fact realized that just blindly maximizing procreation at all costs is not often the best strategy. It is well known that animal procreation follow an S-curve. This would not happen if everything just maximized reproduction. Then you'd see bubbles and crashes.

Well, all of nature except some viruses. They don't tend to survive for long, but some do a lot of damage before they go extinct, which of course may be why most species regulate their reproduction.
Do:

Tell me details about the company, like its name, where it's based and what kind of things I'll be working on.

Provide a salary figure for the role

Give feedback on things like interviews done with the company, assuming they tell those things to you. Obviously it's better to have the hiring manager respond, but to get a message from the recruiter saying either they said the interview went well because of this and that or they're looking for someone else right now is useful.

Keep your job descriptions realistic. If there's a huge laundry list of keywords for skills your applicant 'needs' to know, don't be surprised if most people are hesitant when they reply to your email.

Don't:

Provide irrelevant job offers and leads. Seriously, sending a JavaScript programmer Java related offers is a waste of time, as is sending through roles where 90% of the skills required are ones that candidate doesn't have. If someone is a PHP or Python developer, then sending them .NET roles may not be the best idea.

Try and 'encourage' applicants to sign up for training through your company. Seen quite a few 'recruiters' who were seemingly only contacting people to sell them courses, and it's an annoying waste of time.

Force people to sign up with your inhouse system to receive new jobs. We get it, job sites are a difficult thing to market. But saying you have a role and then only having said role available on another site is a hassle.

Have people come to your office for an interview. You are not a company offering jobs, and for most people don't want to spend money and time travelling to your office for nothing more than a quick chat. Especially if said office is really out of the way.
Yeah but it's more than that. It's not just "golden fishy", it's also a ubiquitous (in Russia) Russian fable, as the parent comment mentioned.
The Roman office of dictator (which is the origin of the term) was elected with absolute power in order to deal with a crisis -- generally speaking, a major war, and that usually involving an invasion of Roman territory by hostile forces. The term of office was limited to one year, though dictators were sometimes re-elected.
>"They're already trying to change "bank fraud" into "identity theft" and defer liability to the person whose info is being used, vice the old way of the bank being fully liable"

Do you some references or citations you could share about such a development? This is the first I have heard about this. Who is the "they" here? SEC? Banks? Lawmakers?
Well, let's not forget that "CEO" wrote that technical documentation. And probably also wrote (at least an older version of) the code, too.
I think the problem is homeless people are considered useless by our society and there's a high percentage of homeless people who consider society useless. You're proposal is to house them temporary but only the ones from the city that is doing the housing. We already have a well funded housing solution that will take anybody. Jail.

I think the solution has to be to lure them back into society by offering jobs. There's always work to be done in any major city, but there's no work to do unless they have a Labor Ready or other daily work program.

We should look at homelessness in a city from a positive perspective, an overflowing of human resources. Teams can be formed and clean up grafati and litter clean up. Do community rejunivatuon projects like painting landscaping and building community farms and gardens.

That's one part of the puzzle the other problem is that a lot of homeless people do work and can't afford a place to live. Personally I've had hundereds of dollars in my pockets, full time jobs and a place to live alluded me, or it was just too expensive and I felt like working and spending most of my money on an apartment, climbing the corporate latter wasn't beneficial to myself or humanity.
You clearly have never been to Pittsburgh. There is simply no room at some intersections for a left turn lane, and a left turn signal would needlessly block traffic going the other way even when nobody wants to turn left.

They profit from this system and also profit from breaches.

All of them have been making money hand over fist on this, thanks to their exclusive ability to monitor and lock/unlock their own credit reports.

Even if you aren't paying these companies directly, you're paying a company paying them for credit reporting to watch for identity theft.

Calling it a perverse incentive is an understatement. Only the US Government could have stepped in and made it unprofitable, but it appears as there will be no significant punishment for Equifax, and instead as a result of this the Congress made it harder to file a Class Action Lawsuit against companies like Equifax, so the next time you won't even have that option...
Please provide evidence that hormonal balance or other endocrine mess is involved.

I'm quite interested in such.

I think it is combination of both increased calorie intake and somewhat reduced physical work thus caloric demand - mostly sitting (in car, at work) instead of walking or standing.

Having food be more palatable and caloric plays into this too but seems secondary.

I agree in part with them and in part with you. I agree with you that they are using language loosely and it harms their point - let's not forget, hosting content is not free. YouTube is still subsidizing every video that is de-monetized.

Howevery, I think their overall point is that there should be a standard principle regarding content. There should not be "levels" of content where content that advocates a particular view, or comes from a particular group of people is deprioritized, unless that view is heinous or the content itself is dangerous. YouTube wants to be treated a public forum, so should not hold some views over others unless it is actively harmful.
A family friend crashed into an oncoming car because of this ambiguity. They were waiting to make the turn, thought the other car should stop (because it was yellow going on red). Apparently it even looked like they were slowing down but then sped up at the last minute. Police said both at fault.
> but it's a community project and at some point the consensus will be that he is just wrong.

No, that's just your prejudice talking. The consensus can just as well be that RMS has a point and that a lone maintainer has no legitimacy to dictate policy, let alone override executive decisions. RMS is the founder of many GNU projects and is also the president of the FSF. Just because some dude has access to a repository of a FSF project that doesn't give him the right to hijack the project to suit his fancy. It's a FSF project and the project's driving policy is set by the FSF.
