I'm trying to find statistics in the article but I'm having trouble. Does the article give any evidence that Westerners actually do fear robots more than the Japanese do?
Surely all of those things indicate a recognition that I'm doing something I should be ashamed of and be hiding? I'd say it indicates a market for someone to make an entirely separate app (or for Bumble to do so).
Chinese propaganda today still infuses its citizens with a sense that Han Chinese is superior to other ethnic groups and races. You wouldn't possibly find anything remotely like that in any other Asian countries. If you think I'm exaggerating, here's a piece of NYT news that demonstrates their outright racism toward African people: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/16/world/asia/china-africa-b...

I'm not saying all of them are. In Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen where there are more young people who either accepted Western influences or got their college education in the West, racism may be less a problem. But those cities only represent less than 5% of China.
Since the review process is iterative, the reviewer will point out what they consider to be a shortcoming, and the author will fix that part. If they disagree, and the author is keen on not mentioning those concerns even as worth considering, but the paper is otherwise good, we could evolve a system whereby the reviewer comment is published along with the paper.

> If this is the goal, then perhaps the requirement should be for every paper to be accompanied with an ethical statement which is in no way part of the review process. That would satisfy your needs without risking significant unintentional side-effects, would it not?

How do we stop this ethics statement from being vacuous, unless it is reviewed? It might quickly devolve along the lines of TOS/EULA (legalese to include all edge cases) or reduce to something trivial like: No fingers were harmed while typing up this paper.
>>> These powerful devices should be propelling our workflows forward with us gangly humans left barely able to keep up, and yet, almost without exception we wait for our computers instead of the other way around. We’re conditioned ourselves to think that waiting 30+ seconds for an app to load, or interrupting our workflow to watch a half second animations a thousand times a day, are perfectly normal.

In addition, the GUI has conditioned us to think that in order to make a computer do work for us, we have to perform precise manual labor to guide it through a lengthy series of tiny discrete steps. "I have seen the computer, and he is us." In addition to making those steps quicker, we should also be thinking about how to eliminate them altogether by having the computer understand natural language.
Rumour and gossip happen everywhere, all the time. It's deluded to think otherwise. And friendship groups aren't a series of 1:1 connections, I don't choose who my friend's friends are, nor do I choose my coworkers (who could absolutely make a personal judgement about me based on what they see). This is how socialization works. Anyone is welcome to opt out, but it's not a particularly smart way to try and make friends.

It's kind of funny that in a thread that's ostensibly about making new friends your advice has turned to how to choose which friends to discard.
Do you think that’s how the world should work? If not, why are you so willing to acquiesce to that model? These kinds of things are such non-issues in other cultures, and if we actually stand up for our values and live our lives by them, maybe we can rid American culture of some of its ridiculousness.
Soap and water doesn't directly kill the bacteria, it dissolves the oils and lipids that that they live in and washes them away. Some die, but if bacteria was humans, using soap and water is the equivalent of causing a landslide and just clearing the entire surface of the area of anything but dirt/skin and dumping the people/bacteria off the cliff and down the drain.
I think this hits the nail on the head: who cares?

Who cares what these people (who are judging you for meeting someone in public) think?

They're very unlikely to be anyone meaningful if they're doing that, since being a good conversationalist is a trait that most successful people possess.
Radical political changes were universally negative? Many of those radical movements had extremely positive effects, such as labor laws and civil rights. These movements were radical partially because of the tremendous material support in keeping the status quo.
Anticompetitive behavior in forcing OEMs to bundle other Google Apps if they wanted access to the Play Store and Play Services, which has nothing to do with the other two things you mentioned.
There was a story on public radio recently (maybe Radio Lab?) about synthesizing voice. Adobe has developed a "Photoshop for audio". One of the hosts interviewed a computer scientist on the subject and really pressed on the ethical uses of such software. The scientist was flummoxed and had not really considered the ethical implications before. I would not be surprised if scientists do not consider how their research could affect society.

You literally answered yourself. The key is that "important" != "earns money or has power".
Reporters love nothing more than reporting on their previous reports and taking credit. Of course only accounts that confirm their narrative and friendly quotes (from their sources) make into publication.

Two years ago, I talked to an American who is ethnically Korean and lives in Japan. I asked him if Japanese were still prejudiced against Koreans. He said that he would have said "no" in the past, but now he thinks that they're prejudiced against Korean culture, and he escaped because he was culturally American.

Just one data point...
This is awesome!

I did a similar thing and built isochronic maps while at a start-up for business intelligence back in 2014. I'm curious how you got the going, data processing and all.

When I'd done it I set up all roads and continents in OSM but it took quite a bit of work to do so. I'd used Osmium to import everything into postgres and set it up to using pgrouting. It took quite a bit of work but with a lot of query mangling it had a lot of traversal cost variates (street type, population, daytime pop) it had pretty good approximations of Google!

The most awful part was trying to set up the data to be usable, quick, and deal with large queries (set it up for a maximum 150km without issue), but it was a great challenge!
Such a store would either require that the developer pay for payment processing and hosting themselves, or would have to charge in order to cover those costs.
Is there any consciousness in that thing? Are the lights on in there?

If yes, then the robot should be treated according to how conscious it is.

If no, it's a toaster, throw it on the garbage heap when not needed anymore.

"How much consciousness is in there" is the right question to ask in many situations involving difficult decisions, such as robot rights, animal rights, abortion, capital punishment, etc. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most difficult questions you could possibly ask.
Wonder if that age group has become lonier in recent times, since the internet, smartphones, technology, etc. You don't need to go out to be 'entertained' like you used to, and I suspect a lot of young people simply find their entertainment online instead.
> while the 3.5mm jack can't

Of course it can. It's just 3 or 4 wire connections, and an insertion switch.

Why do you think it can't be made waterproof? It's even easier than USB-C to waterproof.

A simple google search "waterproof 3.5mm socket" find tons of results.
None of those words mean what you are implying it means.
Many countries have gone through a period when they used unconventional means to catch up, because they had nothing to lose. If US and allies punished China with tariffs in 1970s, it would have no effect because China just came out of being embargoed and having no export to speak of.

Now China is getting into the territory of having something to lose, between pressure from trade partners and internal forces, it'll eventually fall in line with other developed countries.

That being said, sino-phobia in US may or may not get better, depends on how US economy is doing, and if a new arch-enemy emerges to direct public anger at.
In a Japanese class, we had an English teacher for Japan explain his role. He defined himself as somewhere between the town freak and a clown. People expect you to make errors, and will only find them funny, never offensive.
These are two different set of people: computer scientists develop algos / ml / etc, and want to publish them. UX designers , entrepreneurs, and other customer-focused people in the industry observe human behavior, and (amongst other activities) design traps around them.

It is not useful to expect good predictions from the former group, and the later group isn't really interested in publishing in CS.

Here [1] is a list of nations by hours worked. The US average is just about squarely average here. The OECD average is 1763 hours per year. Americans work 26 hours longer than that per year, so half an hour per week, less than 5 minutes a day, longer.

Maybe so, but "certain", from a grammatical standpoint, implies that they know exactly which models are affected, which in turn implies that it is not the entirety of their printers that are affected. Maybe that's not the case, and every single printer they make is affected, but that's just my thought on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The whole world still doesn't care about these issues and still votes with their time and money to fund Facebook. They will until there's something "better". If we care, it's our job to make something better that the public will throw their time and money at.

An op-ed like this one in the New York Times only means that we've transitioned from only privacy-conscious nerds finding Facebook offensive to the elite class beginning to understand that there might be something wrong. That took over a decade. It'll probably take 20 years before Facebook is dead and we've all moved to a decentralized solution.

So you're interested in making some new friends? Fantastic! The first thing you need to do is remake American culture
I disagree. I'm 40, and had life pre-internet. Cell phones were still expensive when I was in school. A portion of my friends were too poor to regularly have home telephone service. I'm bisexual, and paid for that bit with a middle school not talking to me most of a school year. I lost friends because I dated folks with a different skin color. I didn't really tell folks I was atheist back then, but it didn't really matter because my parents required I go to church every sunday.

I lived in the midwest. The town sizes ranged from 3000 to around 50k. I've never really had more than 2-3 friends at once, and sometimes didn't have that. My ex wound up with schizophrenia, but that's another story altogether.

I started being lonely at 10 or 11. That's only gone away in the last 6-10 years. Regular internet meant I've met folks I can simply be myself with. I moved - across an ocean - to be with one of those folks. I'm rarely lonely anymore, even with the internet. Even with the language barrier. Even with my weirdness.

For the first time in my life, here I feel like I kinda belong, and it is a mix of offline and online stuff. I'm even in a country that is "difficult" for folks to make friends with - or at least they say it is. On the other hand, it actually fits my personality better.

I don't find it hard to talk to folks online. Male or female (I tend to have more male friends than female, and don't care about the distinction. My male spouse is the opposite). sure, some folks are simply there to flirt, but I can shut them down pretty quickly.

Robust scripts require diligence appropriate for the environment. If you’ve deployed systems with different default tool versions, you factor this in, e.g. by installing a common version that both can use (or just make scripts that can figure out how to work either way). Two versions of a tool isn’t really any different than two versions of a compiled-in API, except that APIs tend to be more rigid (not always, e.g. some languages allow runtime querying).

There’s a common rule in Unix-like systems that essentially says “inputs are liberal, outputs are conservative”. It matters to have programs that can adapt, because this makes a lot of things more practical.

It never was a flat map. That was just a kludge to make it work in the browser. The original application, from Keyhole, was 3D from 2003 or so. NVidia used to offer it as a promotion, before Google bought it.

Now it's a Chrome browser promotion. Google Earth requires Google's browser.
Being alone is a state, feeling lonely is a symptom that could be triggered by it, but not necessarily. Important distinction here. Warren Buffett spent most of his waking hours reading by himself. He's pushing 90. If you watch his HBO documentary notice how he is very big on shutting his office door and reading for the majority of his workday. If you are not peace when you are alone, there is something else going on that needs attention, listen to it, understand what might trigger that symptom and root cause it. Being with someone else might be a stopgap to your symptom but not a cure.
Ah, I misread it as the opposite!

This article was absolutely awful to read.

The reason "Westerners" fear Robots and Japanese do not is definitely cultural , but not in the same way.

Mostly for "Westerner" , it's related to the fear of losing their Job.

Per say , just look at Autonomous Car. Truck driver is of the most occupied job in the US and potentially it's one of the most replaceable by using AI and Robotics.

That's just the tip of the iceberg , what about McDonalds ? Domino's ? Both with their thousands of cashier , delivery guys and cooks ?

That's what people fear , not this gimmick of "Terminator" based on some BS "Christian" culture.

On top of that , when you know the American culture is almost entirely based on "Fast Money" for venture capitals it raise some concerns about the security and the effectiveness of those robots. Especially seeing how much accidents have happened with "Semi Autonomous" cars or the horrible accident that killed a pedestrian at full speed by Uber[0].

Most importantly , Japan is a declining country from a demographic perspective. Robots are needed for them to survive and stay productive and occupy jobs that very little people would accept to do these days in their culture.

This demographic decline is not happening in "Western Civilization" due to important amount of immigration. Either of "Talents" ( Engineers , Doctors...) or Students , who later stay in the country and eventually create a family there. Ultimately having for effect to maintain the demography of "Western Civilization", Japan claimed many times to be hostile to this form of growth , therefore the need for robot and the mindset of not being "scared" by robots as they are key for both their economy and their culture .

Ultimately making those robots a sign a of "hope" and not a "threat".

Yes! I am so glad somebody called out the UI animations! The one in 1Password bugs me every time, I don't use Spaces because it takes too long for the animations to play out. There are more examples.

Every time a programmer adds an animation, a settings option should also be added to "disable animations". Advanced users will love you for it!

I literally cannot understand the point you are making.

Are you referring to relativism vs. objectivsm? Or, that people can have the understanding of a concept, but lose it in trying to explain it?

I'm really trying in good faith you get you to make what I consider a coherent response. Personally, I've studied rhetoric, logic, philosophy (the moral kind), and science (the natural philosophy kind). I have a subtle enough knowledge of all of these to understand and appreciate nearly all points of view and have intelligent discussions with a wide range of people on a wide range of topics.

But, so far, nothing you said seems to contradict my statement that the P in PhD refers (with the exception of people getting PhDs in philosophy departments) to natural philosophy, which is to say, the quantitative, experiment and hypothesis based approach to understanding how the universe works, as opposed to moral philosophy, which is a primarily logic-oriented approach to abstract and concrete problems experienced by humans.

That those two intersect to some degree, and that some people who obtain PhDs in quantitative fields do spend some time being introspective about moral philosophy, but it's not commonly required in the form of coursework or research.

Perhaps the closest relationship between moral philsophy and natural (which is what we now call "science') is math, and it's still very much an undecided problem as to whether math and science are the same thing (https://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/MathDrama/reading/Wigner.htm... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothes... being the two most interesting statements on that problem) and whether the logic employed by philosphers is the same thing as mathematical logic. There is some useful prior writing on this, for example https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/philosophy-mathematics/

Ultimately though I just can't see what point you're making. I think you're saying all knowledge is relative, and even scientific/natural philosophy is identical to moral philosophy, rather than "all students of the natural sciences should also take classes in philosophy to develop a more intuitive understanding of epistemeology"

C. difficile & trehalose?
This article is a little too high minded and academic to take seriously. Non-tech people don’t usually think about robotic rights or AI slavery unless they’ve been watching a dystopian Sci-fi film recently. Here’s my two American cents:

In the United States, if you’re poor, society says it’s your fault and you’re on your own. If you can’t get a leg up on the economic ladder because the burger-flipping jobs were replaced by robots, you’d have every right to fear them.

I can’t speak for Japan but it is my understanding that society is more group-oriented there, and social spending and government priorities appear to reflect that. So even if a robot takes your job, you may have a better chance at making a decent living some other way than you might in the West.
I don't think it's a good idea to popularize a conspiracy theory by covering it, just as much as the media showcases school shootings. This is EXACTLY what the authors wants... mass media appeal in order to attract more followers. Also, to many people, more coverage = more validation.
I'd be willing to accept not discharging my solar system's battery to the grid when not in use, I can use it at night.

One can get a UPS affordably that will power 1500 watts of continuous power. Being able to supply just that much, or twice that much, from solar panels in a grid-down scenario would be tremendously useful, even if it's not enough power to fire up my welder.
With $100b+ in the bank it's obvious they need to cash in on Chinese oppression and impede human rights as effectively as they can. Just because they have $100b+ in the bank doesn't mean they can't run out of runway and shut down in several thousand years, so it's as courageous as it is vital. It's almost as courageous as not paying taxes or calling your employees contractors to not pay health care.
