Eh, it’s going to generate nasty side effects. Google spends a lot on lobbying. This kneecaps those efforts. That’s bad news for a host of broader issues, including net neutrality.
Supposedly, lithium ion batteries like to be totally drained before being charged and then charged to max before being unplugged. I personally find this regime difficult to attain with phones because I'd rather not have the phone die while I'm far from a charger, so I often start charging when it is at 20% or so. And when I have to go to work, I unplug the phone, even if it isn't at 100% charge. I think most people do similarly, but the battery would really prefer you use it all the way up and charge to max. I think this is what the GP means by "carefully charging."
i agree, in this time of outrage culture, i don't know why anybody at the centre of any controversy gives it oxygen. anything you say is another story. some would say you need to get your point of view across but i'd say people have made up their mind anyway.

Title inflation has been rampant over the past 20 years. I think I first became a "senior engineer" when I was 24 years old, only a couple years out of school.

You should tell them you think you're more qualified for principal engineer, but you realize they may not have that title in their hierarchy. Can you get more money to compensate?

They have the best in class self driving technology that's actually in production. Until I can actually sit in one of Waymo's cars, it doesn't mean much.

Tesla DOES have the best in class self driving available today. Waymo is ahead but I can't stroll on down to the dealer and buy their tech yet.
This might not always be an option. GCC's libstdc++ is actually under the GPLv3[1]. There's an exception for code that's done via some Eligible Compilation Process, but I'm not sure if this also counts static linking of the libstdc++ into it. That said I'd be a little surprised if statically linking changed things here, I don't see any language about it like there is in the LGPL since it also considers replacement of the LGPL code without needing to touch the original inputs.

> it's always been that it's algorithmically selected to promote the best information

“Best” being the word doing the work here. There’s been some expectation that Google gives you “best” based on the wisdom of a very large, diverse group. The more it diverges from that, the more it risks losing trust as an impartial assistant.

>Are you seriously suggesting (pagerank)?

I might pick a more precise example after Google tells me the algorithm. I’m using pagerank as shorthand for the early period in which Google assessed “best” mainly through the wisdom of groups. It’s impossible to erase all subjectivity, and it’s never been perfectly objective, but that doesn’t make the goal less important. I wouldn’t object to later versions that address SEO gamesmanship, gives me local mobile results, etc.

Google’s problem is that the video shows people who most Americans would not trust to tell them what’s best, or how to find what’s best. People might trust Google to find out what most people say is best. Google risks making their judgment the product; but what got them this far was a sense they are skilled in reporting back something about the world.

I agree that weightlifting can be safe, but not riskless, and back injuries are no joke.

Worst case is you didn't protect your IP and people get fired because the competition makes the money.
> In preplanning, I knew that as we started to get some of these red tags stabilized, the anesthesiologists and surgeons would start arriving and we could open up more ORs. That’s the first major choke point. I can resuscitate four or five people, but that operating room was going to be the key to stopping the bleeding and saving lives. In a high volume penetrating MCI like this, you really need flow. You need people to get stabilized and into the operating room, not sitting around perseverating about what test to order next. Getting those ORs staffed and opened was my biggest priority. With potentially hundreds of incoming patients, it was going to be a matter of eyeballing patients or feeling for carotid pulses because we didn’t have enough monitors. Everything was 100% clinical judgment. You’re looking at all these patients, and you’re just waiting for them to declare themselves—and then you start to work on them.

Wow. It's rare to see someone who can, in a crisis situation, handle both "macro" and "micro" tasks with such foresight and effectiveness. Menes was doing the equivalent of solving a scalability problem - identifying chokepoints, modeling flow, thinking about optimizations in layout of physical bodies, handling morale - all while implementing experimental treatment procedures and making snap judgements about patients' individual statuses. How someone can keep all this loaded in working memory for hours on end is mind-boggling to me. Truly inspirational.

If in doubt, consider trusting and using your gut feeling. In teams full of technical people, I have repeatedly made the experience that this skill — using your intuition – has either been unlearned, suppressed, or is actively or passively being discouraged by (technical) leadership.

But trusting your gut has some considerable advantages:

1. In the case of long term negative or positive effects you have something to base your decision on. Do you feel good with that decision? Or are you hesitant that it will contribute to your long term goals? What is your first thought without trying to dissect the matter? I have made the experience that people generally tend to have a really good intuition when it comes to these kinds of decisions.

2. In a rapidly changing environment you can make a decision now — you don't have to wait for a complicated measuring process to be finished. You can ask people how they feel about a certain change as well. Chances are you might get a gut feeling back.

3. You can be truly agile. Test something by putting it out and see what happens. You need an ongoing process for learning from what you experience and applying the necessary changes though.

4. A lot of pseudo-scientific methods for measuring outcomes beforehand are based on the assumption that their result will apply to the real world. This is not always the case. In the worst case you have wasted time by applying a complex technical process just to get an outcome that will waste you even more time, because it doesn't match what you predicted.

Don't overcomplicate stuff. Individuals and interaction over processes and tools.
It wasn't that high resolution. The iPhone 1.0 had a 320x240 screen. Pinch zoom was Fingerworks around 1999 (albeit Fingerworks was then acquired by Apple in 2005).
> anyone living in the west should be shocked by this sort of event

I think this is similar to the good old irrationality of the fear of flying in many people (including my mom) - it doesn't matter how much cold hard facts are told over and over, some people just freak out and switch to completely different behaviour.

I am a bit different (no clue why). Not because I lack emotions or compassion, but emotions generally don't affect my judgement much (call it advantage or disadvantage if you want, but it helped me greatly in life so far).

I refuse to be shocked be these kind of things, not more or less than any other mass killings/deaths out there. People are people, we are equal and this is also what true equality means - it really doesn't matter if some indian peasants are killed in flood caused by some dam breaking, or somebody kills white collar people by plane. The true effects of those attacks were really small on global scale. The over-reactions, mainly from US government but not only were disproportionate and will be felt for many years to come.

And you know, going with the hysterical flow is exactly what the terrorists wanted to achieve - I think the after-9/11 reality surpassed even their wildest dreams and desires. Again, something I refuse to go along with, it doesn't make a tiniest bit of sense.
I agree that business leaders have to answer for their actions. But that is clearly not what is happening at these inquiries. The CEO of Equifax was called to one when they had their major security breach last year. What came of that? Can we all honestly say, a year later, that he answered for his company's actions? Nothing of consequence happened to him, very little if anything of consequence happened to his company, and as far as I know only minor changes happened to their industry.

My point in my original post is that these inquiries should have WAY harsher consequences than they have. Larry Page should be facing the real possibility of jail time right now for not having shown up. Policy changes should be coming from these inquiries.

But, sadly, none of that is going to happen and we all know it. Because you don't put a guy who helps fund your campaign in jail.

The key difference is between "surveil known idiots like Choudary" versus "surveil everyone then try to find terrorism by keyword match". The latter is not only unlawful and unjust but produces a huge number of false positives.
> They offered their legal guy who is also one of the main leaders at Google and is probably the right person to talk about this but Congress refused. They want figureheads.

Why is this a problem? The CEO is the public face of the company. If Congress wants to question the company about serious issues, it shouldn't settle for a little-known subordinate who has much less authority or accountability for the decisions Congress wants to ask about.

Every company that has built this over the last 20 years has eventually shut down, and it's not like they didn't execute on the vision well; their products were incredibly good and mature.

This article makes a lot of apples to oranges comparisons that are confusing:

1. The article makes the claim this is the first SNN processor, but then states they will first make an FPGA. They already reference existing processors, that have real debugged and fully functional ASICs, which already exist and are clearly the first SNNs. This is not the first SNN based FPGA design, nor the first functional SNN ASIC. For context, the existing SNN ASIC TrueNorth taped out in ~2012, and NeuroGrid in ~2010.

2. They compare Cifar-10 results to ImageNet on the same chart. This is not apples to apples, as an architecture can get bus bound with larger image patches, weights and activations, etc. Once it becomes bus bound these architectures can lose efficiency.

3. They talk about low power (<5W) architectures being compelling, but this does not include the TX2 (10-20W with the GPU going), and TrueNorth and NeuroGrid are at least an order of magnitude smaller (i.e. <<500mW). They omitted mobile chips and Qualcomm's Hexagon which is extremely compelling at the ~1-2W range.

4. One of the neat things about the TrueNorth and NeuroGrid architecture is that they are asynchronous; when little activity is happening the chip can draw less power. Even the TX2 has some property of this by dynamically scaling power for the GPU, and perhaps I missed this but it does not seem supported by this architecture. Idle power draw can be important!

Once you remove a few of those datapoints and compare apple to apple this architecture seems less compelling. For what reads like a sales pitch, they could do a better job being straightforward about why this makes sense. And if it doesnt make sense, it will be yet another failed "AI" chip.

Not only the title -- the article is horribly muddled. Just look at these two lines:

Apparent contradiction. Further down the page I saw what the reporter was trying to say... maybe. I think it's more likely that he muddled everything and we should wait for better clearer reporting (or read the original court decisions).

Caffeine in Coca-cola or other energy drinks is not a restricted substance/ quantity based on age.
Yes, and I think this is indicative of a broader problem with humanity itself.

It's very easy to assume that things that impact oneself negatively were done out of malice. Most of the time, these are innocent or naive, not malicious. However, as humans, we tend to jump to the worst possible case and _act on that assumption_. That's the real problem here.
I find it hard to believe you couldn't think of a reason to not support mass migration other than 'racism', but Sweden let around a million people into a country of 10 million in an unmanaged fashion which is causing a lot of social issues? Germany where Angela Merkel let in 5 million people and the CDU lost a huge amount of support after similar things happened?
The thing that bothers me the most about it is that the changes are almost always proposed by someone who isn't actually part of the offended group, but wants to make it seem like they are fighting widespread oppression. For example, there used to be a site called genie.sexy that was a 3rd party fan page for the genie text editor. I saw a male on another site complain that the term "sexy" might be offensive to women, so they started bugging the genie maintainers about it until the site was taken down, even though the site had no affiliation at all with the project. Sometimes the requests are also just rediculous, like a project that changed "blacklist" and "whitelist" because they believe that it associates "black" with bad, thus causing a bias against black people.
The sales pitches to partners were quite different, from what I can see.

Google have always been selling advertising first and foremost. Their pitch is "we will put you in front of the right people".

Facebook, an other social network providers, seem to have modernised this badly. The social graph and access to it was the key offering, so their pitch was "we will give you access to the right people".

How did it go on like that for so long? There were four sets of entities involved who for their own reasons did nothing:

1. Those buying the access knew the difference and eagerly lapped up as much as they could.

2. The general public was blissfully unaware until the recent furore so there was no push to change anything from that side. To quite an extent, IMO, many were not just unaware but deliberately ignorant - many of us, techies like myself and active members of privacy groups, were aware and talking loudly about the issues but the majority didn't care because they didn't see how it might significantly affect them personally.

3. Commercial entities, even direct competitors, said nothing because they thought it better to try take a piece of the pie for themselves instead of sprinkling laxatives over someone else's and risk the pie shop being closed down. They are of course right now either being investigated too, or hurriedly making sure they were not (or that it can not be proven that they were) directly and knowingly culpable of the same things.

4. While there was no public or commercial push against what facebook and others were doing, the politicians had no interest. No point siring up potential commercial sponsors for their future funding drives unnecessarily...

Redux the library is not "state management for react". It's more of a concept that gives you a predictable structure around how state changes over time.
