Or instead of that, I could condemn people who engage in age discrimination in the same way that I would condemn racists, bigots, or sexists who engage in discrimination.

There are lots of places in the world where discrimination on race, gender, and sexual orientation is legal.

And people who engage in this kind of behavior, even when it is legal, are still horrible people, and should be treated as such, by society.

It is fully within my rights to judge horrible people, and to also treat horrible people as they deserve to be treated (ie, I will treat them poorly, as they deserve).

People are often under the mistaken impression that the only way to punish someone is through the law.

That's incorrect. There are many many perfectly legal ways to punish horrible people, and there are even methods of punishing horrible people that are illegal but you are unlikely to get caught for.
That's because transplants save thousands of lives every year, rapidly turning some of the sickest people this side of death into healthy, productive, living individuals.

As a liver transplant survivor, it's hard to describe how dramatic a cure transplant represents.

Of course, there is a great price: my life in exchange for the donor's. And so many people are listed for transplant who never receive an organ.

Those facts and the threat of disease, among many others, drive the research into alternatives (xenotransplantation, synthesized organs, etc). But transplant is currently the only hope for the desperately hopeless facing organ failure.
Ask HN: How to retain core competency in math when your job doesn't require it?
How do we know which ones are irrational or how to find them? :)
I guess as long as a high enough percentage of the crew are flight people, you can teach someone else to not get in the way too much?
Well, I don't think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error.
You spend a non-trivial amount of time learning calculus, for example, but how do you maintain that competency?
Or the return isn't worth it. Malicious actors have to assume that any given domain, certificate, URL, etc. will get blocked or shut down by the security industry, so being able to cycle those endpoints is key. EV is not easy to automate/cycle, and can also be more cost prohibitive, so each cycle is less profitable as well.

That's my point: Systems that don't scale are less profitable to attempt to abuse for malicious ends, because more time and effort has to be invested into any given effort, and ideally, there are actual humans involved in the process which catch discrepancies.

The other reason you may not see a lot of attempts to find exploits in EV (apart from Ian) is that most of the actors sites want to pretend to be aren't using EV either. If you want to fake yourself as Google, EV isn't going to help you since Google doesn't use it.

I would argue the claim "bad actors aren't trying to abuse it so it isn't effective" to be silly, as that claim would apply among all methods that bad actors can't meaningfully abuse.
The lawsuit is completely unrelated to the rescue operation, and the rescue operation was never a Musk project.

'Designing better file organization around tags, not hierarchies' by Nayuki [1] (HN thread [2]) is an essay about such filename-less, tagging-based systems, covering prior art, technical background, and user experience.

Does that mean they were useless? Absolutely not!

Lately the mindset seems to be unless a product is all things to all people at all times then it's useless.

In reality a product just has to fit a category really well and it will sell like hotcakes. Then it will evolve in iterations.
Do you know what the ADEA and ERISA are?

ADEA (Age Discrimination in Employment Act) is the law that relates to age discrimination. The Supreme Court ruled that it is not de facto illegal to consider pensions, or other things that are correlated with age (such as salary), as long as the intent was not to discriminate based upon age.

ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) is a law that narrowly deals with pensions. It does not address age discrimination more generally.

Your statement that "[it's generally not legal] to consider salary demands ... in the context of firing or laying people off" is factually inaccurate.

Not that I want it being recorded (on principle for privacy rights; I don't actually care), but I'm pretty sure I could donate both blood and (I hope never to be in this situation) organs, and no one would be any the wiser.
Or maybe that tech in general has a toxic culture problem and Linus definitely contributed to it by making it ok to be an asshole as long as you are skilled.

Being tough and being an asshole are two very separate things. The best engineers I have had the pleasure to work with were both technically skilled and great mentors/teammates.

Last time I have checked, software engineering is almost exclusively teamwork, it is time we start treating it as such.

People won't pay for efficiency. People buy solutions to their problems (features), not efficiency.

If it needs to be efficient, it will be (the games example).

The death of Moore's Law may rejuvenate efficient software.

BTW If you use old unix tools on a phone, it's super fast (in a terminal emulator like http://termux.com).

Sadly, the idea of abstractions enabling you to think better (like Alan Kay's point of view is worth 80 IQ points and maybe Jobs' bicycle for the mind) doesn't seem to work, at least for software abstractions. It's far more work than can be justified - more appropriate for pure research (which is instead preoccupied things like esoteric type systems with nice mathematical properties).
I would argue that I wasn't trying to "approach the law axiomatically", since I was trying to demonstrate the law does not cover something that it arguably (by a more common "human understanding") should.

The right to free speech arguably requires that we have a place to express that speech. Given that all communications are effectively corporate-owned, it's hard to argue that this isn't an important gap to discuss. Hosting providers, domain registrars, CDN services, certificate authorities, etc. are all owned by companies, and beyond platforms, infrastructure has now been increasingly used as a target to use to restrict speech.

Perhaps an example would be if you could be banned from protesting on a sidewalk by the company that poured the concrete.

Or another example, people don't often consider, is that phone communications, like Internet communications, are owned by corporations. Wouldn't people consider it crazy if I suggested that Verizon or AT&T should have a say in what you said over their networks?

I recognize that the law doesn't consider an Internet platform to be a public space where free speech is required, but my point is that this is the problem: Our laws have not kept up with the society we live in.

My old summary has been that current driving on current roads with current traffic occasionally but too often for practice requires actual, full human intelligence, generally that of a prudent person over 16.

So, the intelligence of a mouse, crow, parrot, dog, cat, monkey, elephant, dolphin, orca, etc. just is not enough.

So, self driving cars requires essentially full AI for driving and nearly everything else in life. So, the self driving car problem is no easier than the full AI problem.

Sure, there can be some special cases that are easier -- trucks in a huge, open pit copper mine, a tractor on a huge, flat farm in Missouri, some military battlefield situations, and the public roads if heavily reengineer them with lots of essentially electronic tracks, etc., uh, right, on roads in perfect condition, no big objects falling off trucks, no drunks, no tire blowouts, dry weather, daylight, perfect visibility, no alarms from an extensive monitoring system, and no rain, sleet, or snow. Then, sure, a "self-driving car"!!!!

Taleb's grandma seems pretty down to earth.
The basic gist is that I was arrogant and negligent.

I started a company to leverage an order taking and customer management system I’d built for a friend’s b2b outside sales company. Before, they were managing everything with excel spreadsheets on a shared drive and it was a mess. After, everything was in a php application that could set up a recurring credit card transaction within a few clicks. It used AJAX (in 2004, before responsive forms took off) to take different form inputs.

I rode that one client pony for too long. Managed to get a second client, but I hadn’t worked out a good pricing strategy. I needed to offer the program publicly, but we were too busy doing feature development for our two clients to develop features for multi tenant. I was bad at the administrative aspects of running the company, so I inadvertently ran up a bunch of bills. I wasn’t keeping my sales funnel full or dedicating much time to finding new clients and calling on them. The whole thing went crashing down when my clients decided that they didn’t want to have 100% dependence on my company anymore and per our contract paid a one time lump sum for a copy of the software. Still wasn’t enough to fill the holes the bills had left.

I could have been SalesForce if I hadn’t been an arrogant 24 year old who couldn’t learn from other people, but instead I ended up in about $50k of personal debt.

Well, yes, companies are self replicators, just like living things.
I get that it's unreasonable to expect users to distinguish EV from DV certs.

But a machine should be able to distinguish. There should be an Expect-EV pin header, just like HSTS and Expect-CT. That way you can be sure the certificate wasn't issued via DNS hijacking.
I know a machine learning engineer from a certain massive lending company. I asked him “How do you decide which strategy to use and which algorithms to pay attention to? There are so many, and it’s hard to figure out which ones are production grade.”

He said gradient boosting. I pointed out that that implies there would be some period of time where the algorithm makes bad decisions. He said yup, that’s why it’s hard to start a lending company. Gotta find the data on the bad performers.

Apparently their original decision model was just a hand crafted set of if-statements.

I suspect most ML endeavors that seem impressive have origin stories like that, but it’s only anecdata.
E.g., going down hill in the winter commonly requires putting the transmission in neutral since just the torque to the drive wheels from the engine idling or the engine braking can overwhelm the very tiny traction available.

Based on what criteria? It seems that Google and my interests are aligning less and less. I am starting to care more about privacy. And now Google is removing useful features that I use regularly, so I am stopping using one of their main products, and starting to look into alternatives for other product.s

> There is no useful UI for EV certs, because EV certs are not useful.

You are incorrect in this statement. They are useful to me, because they help me ensure that I am interacting with the website belonging to the company I have an existing relationship with.

> Citation needed?

The citation was the topic of my post. In Chrome 69 they are making the UI for EV certs confusingly similar to non secure sites. The handling of the removal of the Symantec root was handled poorly in terms of helping site operators know they could get a replacement certificate from DigiCert. As a certificate consumer, these are the two interactions I've had with Google in regards to certificates, and both have been negative.

There are far less wasteful ways of calculating implementation-specific details. My "run until completion" was just an existence proof that general techniques exist. Things like symbolic execution, type systems, and other static analysis tools could in theory help here.

That being said I have personally yet to see non-toy static analysis tools for performance (although I suspect they exist at least in some limited fashion or operating in some constrained domains). This is probably due to the nature of certain pathological inputs and code paths as you point out.

There may nonetheless be hope if you guide the way users can write programs as a sibling comment points out.

It presents a pretty compelling argument for why technology has a tendency to level out. I for one am confident that x86-64 binaries will still be running 50 years from now out of sheer inertia and the lack of any real practical jump in technology.

I met up with a transplant patient at a seminar for candidates. Her kidneys were going bad 20 years ago but it was manageable. She ended up getting leukemia 10 years ago and went through the chemo. Then 5 years ago she got diabetes around the time she had to start dialysis. Then 2 years ago when she was about to get a transplant, they found out she had some heart issues due to the chemo treatment and needed some surgery. She finally got the kidney transplant beating all odds and now looks in great shape looking 10 years younger. I was greatly inspired by her journey.

Its possible to live reasonably long with dialysis if you don't have other health issues but yeah a kidney transplant is a lot better.

It sounds like you've never lived in the southeast US? These conditions can occur on a daily basis in the summer, especially in Florida. "Pull over and stop" isn't realistic advice here.

Humans can and do drive safely in these conditions, however, and it's a valid concern to point out that Waymo's West Coast-centric models might not yet be trained to handle these cases.

(To be clear, I don't doubt that machines will eventually surpass humans in whatever weather conditions, if they haven't already.)

I'm already over the hill at 45. I don't know that I've ever lost any opportunity due to age, nor do I expect it any time soon, but I see the fear among peers even younger than me.

In every situation I've witnessed (both manifested and simply feared), it wasn't age discrimination; it was simply that some older employees had stopped learning long, long ago. They were never good to begin with, they got complacent, and now they're milking dead-end careers until they fade away.

Ageism exists, to be sure, but tech is still largely a meritocracy. It may appear to be a young persons' game, but get out of the Silicon Valley/startup bubble, and the vast majority of employers value experience.

The key problem with most older workers is that they stop learning. I keep up with technology, and my career options and salary continue to grow.

IBM isn't stupid enough to fire people just because they're old. They're firing dead weight.
It always bugged me that /r/all dangled women like you’re picking out meat from a supermarket. Why not men too, or neither?

That said, incelism is a retaliation against the false idea that everyone has an equal chance at finding a mate. It didn’t have to be like this. It’s what happens when childhood feel-good stories are taken as belief.
