I like the neoteny view of dogs: as wolves retaining juvenile (puppy-like) characteristics into adulthood (reproductive maturity).

But the genetic link found here need not be at odds, for it could be the genetic basis of neoteny, and explain other characteristics, like those found in the Siberian fox domestication experiment (see other comments), and other domesticated animals.

It may also be that homo homo sapiens has also been domesticated by this same genetic mechanism... although an extreme mutation results in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a milder mutation may be prevalent, compared with, say apes, neanderthals, or other hominids (though, sufficient DNA for comparative analysis is unlikely).
Because the US also happens to dominate the global economy for now. Soldiers from my country went to help the US in Iraq and Afghanistan too, and we all know why - because the country needs to suck up to US to strengthen its position relative to the neighbors. Moral reasoning didn't even enter the picture.

Actually, this isn't very complicated compared to a modern high-efficiency gas (combined cycle) powerplant or coal (integrated gasification) powerplant, especially when you take into account the exhaust cleaning systems to remove NOx and CO and other nasties that those existing options need.

As I understand it, the new research needed to make this happen is on making new components work (like the high pressure supercritical combustor they mention in TFA). The process complexity isn't anything remarkable.

As for PV: we are nowhere close to having feasible mature solutions for large scale day-to-day (or even intra-day) energy storage. Take the "world record" Tesla system in Australia that gets talked about a lot. In the hypothetical (and IMO entirely unfeasible) scenario where Australia switches to PV to replace coal and gas, and you wanted to use this Tesla solution to store energy from one day to the next to cover just a 20% variability in PV electricity production, you'd need to install more than 10 000 such facilities, at a cost of the order of magnitude of 1 trillion USD. For Australia alone.

So since we don't have that kind of energy storage, we need at the very least 40-50% baseline generation capacity from gas turbines (CO2-emitting or clean), hydroelectric and nuclear power.

How could Facebook ever lose this case in a country where Equifax faced no punishment? Regardless of what you think about Facebook, DeepFace is seemingly mostly theoretical harm whereas Equifax definitely provably harmed people’s privacy and then (initially) charged those same people to help them protect themselves (via credit freezes). Not saying I don’t want Facebook held to the law, just thought of the comparison.
This wouldn’t really improve security. Only the secure hardware is secure from physical attack. The user data is encrypted and put on memory that isn’t physically secure.

If you have a way to decrypt that data, you can just physically remove that memory, copy that data, and break the encryption on it. If people could break encryption, they wouldn’t go about updating the firmware and triggering a potential data wipe in the first place. In short, if you don’t trust encryption you’ve already lost.

"By doing the military's bidding, then Google is now far scarier than Microsoft ever was."

I understand your point, but Microsoft does an awful lot of business with the military.

Last year they won a contract to put every employee in the DOD on Win 10(1).

Not sure it's particularly MORE evil for Google to supply AI support to the Military than for Microsoft to enable the office drones systematically organize weapon shipments, troop deployments, manage body counts, etc.

That number seems unusually high.

Having worked in all the very early US distribution centers(pre automation and now called fulfillment centers) and privy to early UK, German, French, and Japanese distribution operations ambulance calls were less than common, but more than rare.

That was before Amazon hit a headcount of 16k(when I left).

I recall several ambulance calls.

Mostly legit, things like heat/humidity, ankles, pre-existing issues such as obesity/poor fitness, and the rare workers comp lotto attempt.

I tend to agree with you, but as a question when would you picture the actions of the US military indeed becoming an overall negative on society? And then at which point would enhancing said capabilities itself also then become undesirable?

It's a tricky question since a strong military is obviously necessary to protect a nation, yet at the same time - our military's purpose has long since shifted from defensive to offensive - and those offensive actions have been of very dubious value at extreme cost, both monetary and in the loss of life inflicted and suffered.

Yes, it was. South Carolina was the first state to secede; South Carolina cited slavery in their declaration of secession; the war began with secession or immediately following and because of secession. The civil war was fought over slavery.
Neither of those conflicts happened after the end of the Cold War.

It's mostly a deduction. The hypothesis is that if you can control what information is available you can affect the opinions and feelings of the people who receive that information.

There's a study conducted by Facebook about controlling emotions by means of content curation. If Facebook can do it, Google too can do it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/29/facebook-...

Google is the dominant search engine and these days they even host the content through AMP and they own the most popular web browser and mobile computers operating system. They have not only the means to reach people and curate the content generated by other people, they can also change the content created by other people(AMP pages) and disguise their actions(since they control the app that displays the content).

Let's travel in time and go back to the WW2 days and mention Hitler as any proper online political discussion would eventually do.

Don't you think that it would be very convenient for Hitler if he had a way to show "how awful Jews are"? Wouldn't he loved it if Germans search results about economical crisis or gas prices would display how "greedy Jewish bankers are destroying the lives of honest German workers" or any other political or cultural Nazi propaganda?

Unless we switch to cryptographically signing all the content we create and learn to distrust any content that's not signed and have a way to verify that the signed content curation is not politically influenced, giants like Google and Facebook would have the power to make/break countries, start/stop lynches or even genocide.

There's a reason why China doesn't allow search results about Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and all the governments are trying to find a way to control the information flow.
Yeah it's fairly obvious you aren't a military man, thank you for saying it explicitely.

The core of my issue with your points is this belief:
>the threat of military force is what underpins the overall fairly secure world that we live in

That hasn't been true since some time after the first gulf war. Asymmetrical warfare (good old guerilla/"terrorism", cyberespionnage..) aren't operational theaters on which carrier groups present determining advantages.

The threat of vitrificating entire valleys hasn't really deterred ideological opponents to the USmil and associated economical or strategic partners.

Basically, you're arguing for a variant of the irresistible movement (strong traditional military capabilities), while ignoring why the metaphorical unmoveable object adapts to resist traditional military pressure.

Ask the soviets how Afghanistan went for them despite their vastly superior military capabilities.

The team owners of professional sports setting up an employment cartel so that they can systematically pay labour less than its market worth is not socialism or anything like it. These are literally billionaires making the rules in favour of their own bank balance.

disclosure: not a socialist. Don't care for socialism at all. But it's not fair to tar socialism with billionaires feathering their nests driving down the relative return to labour vs capital, imho. It's just regulatory capture by its textbook definition. Total and complete regulatory capture, in fact.

And this is why “don’t be evil” is a hopelessly naive statement.

Some would define US military actions as just and civilian casualties (for example) as unfortunate. Others might define them as outright evil.

Almost nobody thinks they are “evil” there’s usually some kind of justification.

If you are switching away from coal, the economically sensible decision is renewables. The ecologically sensible decision is also renewables.

You're correct if you're _only_ using cookies.

My point was that it could be combined with the other tracking means (say a browser fingerprint or HSTS fingerprint or both) and that value be transferred in a "first party" domain that was really just a CNAME'd third party server -> and you have a solution that would meet the requirement to "only set 1st party cookies" but would miss the intent of the regulation.
Well, what’s the alternate option? If the US hadn’t been the “police” of the world. It could have been Russia or China or India, would we rather have had them? And don’t say Europe unless you consider France and the U.K. and others and their things.

We don’t live on a vacuum. If you create one, someone will fill it.

I am loath to think of how much worse things could be despite the idiotic wars of Obama and W., I think the world is better off with the US guiding things rather than others.

there are a lot of operators in the C language that could be overloaded as SIMD operations when acting over quaternionic and octonionic values. This would be useful for the most common operations.

I am going to give some unsolicited advice to you:

Do not fall into the incel trap. Do not start hating women.

Hate society if you want, understand that due to your perspective as a guy, you will fixate on what is wrong with women but what is wrong with women is what is wrong with society at large, the bias of your perspective aside.

Focus on yourself, toughen up and learn to accept rejection and just meet as many women as you can. That is the only path to success. Do you think those bitter incels are celebrating their misogyny? Sure, but only through their tears.

That life is not worth it. It is harder to build yourself up than tear other people down but more worthwhile.
Clustering images by features seems to be pretty fundamental, and if it runs afoul of this law, then the law needs to be changed.

I upload photos to Google Photos because I want them to be grouped and categorized so I can easily find them. That is, if I click on a picture of my daughter, or my wife, I want to see ALL pictures of I took of them grouped together.

Looking at the text of the law itself, it seems to exclude photographs, here's the relevant section:

" (740 ILCS 14/10)
Sec. 10. Definitions. In this Act:
"Biometric identifier" means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry. Biometric identifiers do not include writing samples, written signatures, photographs, human biological samples used for valid scientific testing or screening, demographic data, tattoo descriptions, or physical descriptions such as height, weight, hair color, or eye color."

I'm not really sure what they mean by "face geometry" whereas at the same time, excluding photographs. Does this mean if my service measures the distance between the eyes, and the width of the mouth, and clusters photos by that, or by eye or hair color by using say, segmentation or histogram clustering, all of a sudden it's illegal? That would seem to be a fairly absurd and broad definition of biometric security information.

In theory, I suppose, the computation of the features, could be done on the client, and then have the features cloud-synced and replicated to all clients, but this would make for a shitty search experience, especially if the machine learning or feature extraction technique improvements overtime, and all of a sudden, you've got to download 20,000 photos and recompute everything on your phone.

"a billionaire is an example of market failure"

1. RNs have people's lives in their hands
2. CPAs have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients, especially in tax services

I think it is generally accepted that licenses don't signify "quality".

What are you hoping to gain with a license? Some badge that somebody can show to a prospective employer, so that they don't quiz you on capabilities?

I think we can agree that the field and knowledge required to perform as an RN doesn't change that often and the same goes for CPAs. However, the world of software is changing constantly. How could a licensing process ever stay up to date? Sure we could just test CS fundamentals and give people a stamp -- essentially what a degree is supposed to do. But if you're a software developer, like myself, that has interviewed many people and been subjected to many interviews, I know it's not a perfect process, but I've come across people that have exaggerated their abilities on resumés. One of the great things about software is GitHub, Bitbucket, etc. Why? Because it sometimes provides a window into the work of a developer before they make it on-site. I'd be happy if the industry as a whole just accepted this as the resumé and leaving the in-person interview as one that's non-technical, save for maybe something like FizzBuzz.

From my perspective, I think the idea of licensing is just an okay process for other fields. Without an interval of re-testing, how can we ensure that service providers can still deliver? I have friends that work at medical centers with doctors that have been there for decades that seem to have forgotten a thing or two, but refuse to accept the answer to a symptom or problem that is fresh in a new or recent grad's mind that's had fatal consequences. It's sad.
