I am in no way excusing the kansas officers here. However this does bring up an interesting point. To properly answer the question about "hearsay" you would need to find out what percentage of 911 calls with details indicating a need for a SWAT team are hoaxes. If the percentage is sufficiently low then the officer may well have been primed by previous experience to expect specific things during the call.

When someone is used to working with accurate information and is then fed inaccurate information from that same source then you can predict the results pretty accurately.

While this is a common view among engineers, in e.g. retail, you can trivially pay 13 different prices for bitwise identical copies of the same Chinese sock. See also how many different prices you can find for e.g. a Starbucks latte.

If you feel very strongly about this or need to get over internal objections, you can distinguish X for $Y and X' for $Z in some operationally insignificant way which is unlikely to materially impact conversion rates.
I've been on the side that's for automation, for technology, for progress. But I think it's getting way out of hand, way too fast.

Those who are smart have their own biases, and shortsightedness. Because you're smart, you tend to dwell in the complex and complicated stuff. And you think you see all the interactions that happen there. But owing to the number of variables around, there are bound to be some unforeseen second or third order effects that you couldn't account for. Things like, building something for a purpose and society deciding it can be used for something else.

Now I don't know if automation will have these types of effects. But I at least am humble enough to recognise that it could, and that the effects could be devastating. And judging by the speed at which the big companies want to get rid of these manual processes, it doesn't seem they think too much about how this would affect the struggling class.

Again, this paper acknowledges the operating principles of an EM drive, but simply argues that the efficiency isn't sufficient to achieve a significant acceleration. "Significance" is relative to the application and efficiency can certainly be improved. For example (and I'm just spit-balling here), using expensive superconducting materials or perhaps a metamaterial could drastically improve the q-factor (1) of the engine.

Same. But it gets such obvious things wrong. Instead of "traffic to [daycare center] is light" it says "traffic to [some weird company name probably registered in the same building] is light".

Waze also knows where I'm going in advance and most of the time it gets it right, like every Thu evening "are you heading to [evening school] ?". My weekly schedule is exactly the same 99% of the time but sometimes it still makes obvious mistakes. If you need an AI for that it must be a very simple one, yet it still fails.

Google maps also auto saves my parking location most of the time but other times it doesn't, for reasons unknown. Things like that make it hard for me to have faith in future versions of this stuff.

In the context of self-driving cars though, they can't read expressions and exhibit them. They can't necessarily even say whether something is a person or not. So your driving methods are not applicable. A computer can say "given the physics of how an average person can move, it is possible for them to leap in front of me in X amount of time" and then what? I think that a self-driving vehicle that follows your principles without your analytic ability is going to have so many false positives it will be useless. And I think the fact that they aren't attempting to follow your principles is evidence they don't have the ability.

The majority of any society, by definition, will not be exceptional. So, it's natural for majorities to feel envious toward people a few STDEVs to the right of them.

The majority makes up for their averageness by force of number. Which is dangerous. Because in systems where being a member of the majority is rewarded and lauded, the majority will tend to punish everything above average. Hammer down the nail that sticks out so to speak.

We don't want to go down this path. But sadly the language of equality makes it all but inevitable that we will eventually take it.
It's a more subtle point, I think. It's not correct to say "ratings matter", because in this context "ratings" means something very specific in what's being measured and how. That methodology and measurement are largely irrelevant here.

It's also not correct to say "ratings don't matter", because rather implies that popularity and customer opinions are also irrelevant. Which is clearly false.

Yea, my guess is that the primary divergence is that Netflix probably "weights" ratings of shows that are correlated with new subscribers and subscriber retention. So a low-rated show that on boards a lot of new subscribers or seems to change the behavior of a cohort who'd otherwise be expected to churn would get comparatively more credit that a show that is slightly higher watched in a vacuum, but driven by subscribers unlikely to cancel their subscriptions in the absence of the show.

Basically, any show that can show that its continued existence will result in subscribers that would not exist otherwise would likely see less ratings scrutiny than shows that cannot show this.
You only need 1 good show that would encourage people to keep their $10/month Netflix subscription. So I assume that extremely high ratings has no particular advantage, but they need to have very high breadth in terms of population coverage, so that almost everyone has a reason to get a Netflix account. At that point, you can calculate how profitable a TV show is, based on number of users vs cost.

If you have a small but very targeted show that costs $1,000,000 to make, but it attracts 10,000 users who would otherwise never get a Netflix account, then the show is profitable after 10 months. If you have a show whose demographics overlap preexisting shows, then its value decreases, unless you can have it premier at different times of the year.

When I am driving I routinely check my rearview mirror and assess the following distance of the cars behind me, so I usually know I will not be rear-ended when I am stopping for pedestrians or for any other reason. If I am driving and I notice someone is following too close for our speed I will tap the brake lights so as to encourage them to increase their following distance. If this fails I will slow down to a speed where their following distance becomes appropriate. If they are an uncommonly aggressive driver I might even pull over or change lanes and allow them to pass, I certainly don't want to be rear-ended! That said, even if I were to fail at this, I would prefer to be rear-ended stopping for a pedestrian that would have stopped than to strike a pedestrian who failed to stop walking into the path of my vehicle.

The speed limit is a reference to the maximum allowable speed of the roadway, not the minimum, only, or even recommended speed.

I also don't see how a preference for high IQ scores is inextricably linked to the notion of progress.

It is the one measurable attribute which is most strongly associated with positive life outcomes, flat out. There are also different kinds of intelligence. This is really just to say that there are different kinds of competence.

The more competent people are at solving problems, fixing things, and getting along with each other, the better life is. That's all it is.
In a fight the person who steps up and says "I'm going to f*k you up no matter what it costs me", is crazy and will make the other person re-think whether or not they want to confront this person. They may think about running away.

It sounds like your client is trying this with you. He's told you that he's crazy and willing to go the distance. So the question you have to ask yourself, is are you willing to signal that you are willing to go the distance no matter what? or do you want to go home?

I used the word "signal" very deliberately. You may only need to signal for a time and back it up with some actions (hopefully that require minimal time and money). Then he may change his mind and choose to pay you because you're crazy and just wants to get rid of you.
You can think of Netflix as following a third generation of ratings.

The first generation of ratings was just raw data: how many TV’s were tuned into a given show at a given time? More viewers, more ad revenue. Simple as that.

The problem was that some viewers are more lucrative than others. The second generation of ratings added demographic data. This happened sometime in the late 60’s/early 70’s, just in time to discover that the recently-cancelled Star Trek, despite its low ratings, appealed to a very lucrative demographic.

Netflix has user-by-user, viewer-by-viewer ratings. Not just statistics per the old Nielsen sample, but the entire population of data. Maybe even minute-by-minute (unless you doze off). This is way more powerful than demographics, because instead of targeting shows to “18-35 middle class white urban women”, for example, you can target shows to “people who binge watch space operas” or “people who enjoyed only the first two seasons of <<some show>>” or any other large enough group you can tease out of there. And Netflix might only be scratching the surface of what is possible with this data.

Stumble upon was one of my first contracting jobs. In second year university back in 1999/2000 (more than 16 years ago?)

I suspect they never used it and instead just contracted with someone else.
Blockchains have been getting the lions share of attention for several years. PARSEC enabled networks, SAFE (MAIDSAFE) in particular, could change that. Blockchains have been battling energy usage, centralization and speed for awhile. Non-blockchain consensus should really open a lot of doors to allow decentralized, trustless, non-censorable solutions.

It will be interesting to see what other networks besides SAFE adopt this consensus mechanism.
In even a moderately lower middle class neighborhood, I would think that the majority of people have cable or internet. It's not like thier is much competition.

Some apartment complexes and even HOAs force all of the tenants/homeowners to pay for internet + TV.

When I stayed in an apartment part of the lease agreement was that you had to pay $100 for a cable + Internet package and then had to pay more for extra boxes, etc. the complex racked on the minimum payment as part of rent then you paid any overage to Comcast.

We had a 300MB cap and the only way we could get internet without a cap when they first started was to get a business account. But you still had to pay the mandated $100 for cable to the apartment complex and then had to pay extra for the business account. We moved shortly afterward.

One of the requirements when we were looking for a house was that Comcast was not the only option.

Stopping unexpectedly does not cause accidents, locking down on your brakes unexpectedly causes accidents. In fact, in the US the person who hits you from behind will be held at fault no matter how hard you hit your brakes or why, because they are expected to maintain sufficient distance and attention to stop when you do.
I'm mostly still enraged at the apathetic attitude espoused in this thread from the original incident.

Reminds me of a video I watched yesterday by some photographers that successfully sued a company for using one of their images on an iPhone case product. The company wound up having to pay 40k for their use of the photo [1], which seems a little mind boggling. The photographers were willing to settle for less, but the company kept making excuses and tried avoiding them.

> Why don't they all auto-update by default for critical vulnerabilities?

Because it costs money for manufacturers to implement and maintain this functionality, and there's (currently) zero benefit to them for doing so and (currently) zero repercussions for doing what they do today after they sell you a device: nothing.
My guess is that they are related enough that most cancelled shows are on the low end of ratings. But I'd also guess that the relationship is nowhere near as linear as a traditional network. The key to renewal at Netflix seems like it should be proving that its continued existence results in subscriptions that would otherwise not exist.
>How could those violations be detected?

You can tip off the regulators if you believe that there is a violation and they will then investigate it.

Instapaper is giving a pretty good reason to be suspicious.

That's a really weird interpretation. Uber's system could obviously brake but not 'emergency brake'? The system disabled a part of itself? How is that any different than it just never deciding to 'emergency brake'?

I think the better interpretation is that the Uber system disabled another separate (non-Uber) system.

Kids shows are a great example - my kids don't (when pressed) care that they don't have season 4 of Octonauts, they do like seeing entirely new stuff.

For the price, I'm happy with what we get from Netflix. I much prefer it to Amazon Video where I'm not sure if I'm going to have to pay extra because my kids throw a fit (because it's visible but not on Prime/free).

Yes, this is true. But I think it's more complex than this. Society /relies/ on competence for its continued existence, but it doesn't necessarily value it innately. Kind of referencing back to the person you replied to, the market values competence not society, but it does it out of necessity. Having competent people in all fields helps to accelerate your ability to grow, become profitable, and reduces mistakes.

The bulk of people in the West are apathetic without much care for their work, and care is nearly an inherent prerequisite of competence, as competence is something you develop and are not born with. You develop competence through focused practice and the care to understand. Clearly, while we rely on competence, it's not so highly valued.
The law has been in effect for two years. And before that one there was another one.

A fractional reserve bank is a bank where:

Cash on hand < Outstanding liabilities (Deposits)

Cash on hand + Investments > Outstanding liabilities (Deposits).

A ponzi scheme is where:

Cash on hand + Investments < Outstanding liabilities.

A fractional reserve bank doesn't have the cash to let 100% of its depositors withdraw their accounts tomorrow. It does have the assets to let 100% of its depositors withdraw their accounts once its investments mature, or if they are sold at market value.

A ponzi scheme can't do either of the above. It's a pure scam.

Fair enough, but that leads to an unarmed police force facing an armed populace, which either leads to armed citizen militias filling the power vacuum needed to maintain civil order against that armed populace, or a collapse in civil order, because people aren't going to stop shooting at the police.

Which is why I argue that it's an intractable problem barring repealing the Second Amendment. Even if there are legal ways to accomplish merely disarming the police, it doesn't solve anything unless you disarm everyone.
