Your point about irrational thought brought to mind this Turing quote I really like: "If we want a machine to be intelligent, it can't also be infallible."

source: Lecture to the London Mathematical Society on 20 February 1947, pdf: http://www.vordenker.de/downloads/turing-vorlesung.pdf, also see this Quora answer for details: https://www.quora.com/What-did-Alan-Turing-mean-by-his-state...). Actually his exact phrasing is the reverse (on pg 13): "... if a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent. "
Feels like you might not know the meaning of the word "objectively".
Some of the later accusations could have been targeted smears, or they could have been true.

>> No more buying monitors

> I think we may actually be there with the Vive Pro

Perhaps if ones work environment is green terminals. I once heard rumor of an ops person being happy. 1600px sounds like a lot. But Vive's PenTile subpixel layout means only green is full resolution. And at least with Vive and WMR lenses, there's only a small region a few hundred pixels across where pixels aren't blurred together. Non-PenTile (non-Odyssey) WMR gets you color and subpixel rendering. But most devs will likely be unhappy peering through a VGA portal, even if you minimize head sloshing by remapping it. So basically no, current HMDs are far from competitive with screens.

With better lenses and a larger panel, maybe. But the market seems mistakenly blocked on a misconception of "need immersion -> need high fps -> need next-gen GPU and game/cad support". Not "you can run existing HMDs on old laptop integrated graphics" (I do), and at least some people will buy an HMD with 4K panels, and even use them with laptop low-end integrated graphics, as soon as someone gets around to selling them. Perhaps even with the same blurry lenses. Desktop-ish screen replacement is very different than gaming. Gaming has lots of severe constraints. Which was nice for pushing some tech progress, but now it's causing a stall.
The boom and bust cycle has been driven primarily by land speculation since classical antiquity. The ability of banks to use their credit creation powers to fuel real estate bubbles through mortgage lending can be halted using a frequently reassessed land value tax and land value increment tax. In the early 1900s Germany completely eliminated land speculation in the colony of Kiautschou using a 6% annual tax on assessed unimproved value of land, of what lots would sell for if cleared of improvements, and a 33% land value increment tax on increases in assessed land value. This allowed the colony to develop rapidly and continuously without any period of recession while running a budget surplus.
That's just another "vote" then. What's the point of having answers with a vote and a second if people will just do both?

> If the pill can reduce the virus to trace levels and prevent HIV from developing into AIDS it’s not unreasonable to question if it can affect current HIV detection protocols.

It is, because

a) we're talking about PrEP, a treatment for HIV- people

b) Truvada has already been used to treat HIV+ for the past ~15 years.

c) HIV screening for blood donations uses antibody testing, which has nothing to do with viral load.

The Prius eCVT is just like a traditional planetary gearbox, but instead of having a complex set of auxiliary gears on clutches which need to be closed in pairs to vary the speed of the planet gears, thus the output shaft, it uses electric motors to spin the planetary gears at exactly the speed needed to obtain the desired output speed.

The Prius CVT is absolutely genius in its simplicity.

So instead of merely depending on the feelings of the accuser, it depends on the feelings of two thirds of the board? That's not much better. You can make objective rules that are not subject to feelings, you just have to be willing to not please everyone. When you don't have objective rules, people are less likely to participate in the game because people can't be sure that they aren't breaking a rule.

I was in college in the mid-90's, and scrimped and saved at one point to buy myself a 17" monitor [1]. (A big deal at a time when 14" and 15" were typical.)

I remember being pretty impressed that that the cable connected to the monitor with five BNC connectors rather than the usual VGA port or termination inside the monitor case. (Of course I doubt it did me any good at all b/c I just connected it to an ordinary VGA port on the other end.)

The most effective way to affect the change in KSA is to block KSA's citizens access to the non-KSA. It is that easy. The KSA is stable because its princess and princesses and its middle class enjoys unrestricted access to the West. For that they are willing to compromise with those that would stone women and cure homosexuality with whips.

Block that and KSA will fall apart within months as having hundreds of thousands of dollars means nothing if there's no access to Gucci purses and houses in London.
My understanding of Bayesian thinking is that we form new beliefs that are a function of our prior beliefs plus new evidence. That's my interpretation of the article.

Another way of thinking is to form new beliefs that are a function of prior evidence plus new evidence, e.g., by setting all old beliefs aside and starting afresh with the complete body of available evidence.

It's not clear to me that these two methods produce the same results, though I can't think of a counterexample. But to the extent that our brains probably remember both beliefs and evidence, we are not probably not fully Bayesian.

No, those problems can’t be solved this way. Your taxonomy may seem more “expressive” to you, but your five concepts are too vague to build a useful screen-reader around. Web developers won’t use the concepts consistently; screen readers won’t interpret them consistently.

None of the relevant vendors are on board, because they’ve all considered a simpler taxonomy and rejected the idea, in favor of a richer, more complex system that can actually be implemented.

> Which brings into question... what is so special about the "front-end" features that Git provides? ... bare bones skeleton that we can swap in/out at will

Your comment disappeared. I think you had a good point. And itd be cool if it could be a real thing, but...

I dont disagree. But our team realized that we rely almost too much on github; we just decided to put up with it. Is there a solution that doesnt depend on running your own "github"? My infra lead and I had the usual, fun tongue and cheek chat that began with... them: "maybe its time we switch to gitlab", me: "can we be up tomorrow?" Weve had that same discussion many times before.

In the end, it comes down to process. If you buy into the features, PRs, CI hooks, etc, then its really hard to just say "well we can maintain and replicate the alternative for the .1% edge-case". Otherwise, you might as well just use that and not github, gitlab, etc. Its hard to decouple from github. They do that by nature -- dev still continues; they are a piece of the process puzzle. I think abstracting them away just complicates things unnecessarily.

There is plenty of evidence that supports both sides of the claim. It's pointless to discuss because it will not stop the market.

> I don't understand what this means. They added the word social, so it is no longer media?

It's media in the essence that it's a means of communication, and media alone, especially social media, shouldn't be regulated by the government on private platforms. The government has no reasonable reason to stop people from voicing their opinions, or expressing satire, or discussing politics on social discussion platforms.
I never understood this mindset. Why would an employer pay someone that they have to train more than someone they already have?

It's not the event that happened but rather the reaction (which I think you are implying). The saudi regime kills people regularly who in the US would not even have committed a crime, but we allow it. This murder occurred at an embassy in a very anti-journalism country and on Saudi soil technically. He wasn't even a US citizen. The only difference I can see is that the details of this one got out because they botched it. Had his wife not been waiting outside I'd venture to say we would not have heard a word about this.

They do kidnap people. They've kidnapped people from Hong Kong, Vietnam, Myanmar, Australia and Canada. Some of these people confess to a series of crimes and in exchange pay fines or are sentenced to long prison sentences, or they are simply never heard from again.

They kidnapped a Swedish citizen from Thailand for having the audacity to publish a book critical of Xi Jinping.

Unfortunate perhaps that VCs are so susceptible to this, but it is what it is.
Honestly for git, it probably is enough. We're talking about someone deleting your github account or github closing overnight with no warning (it's been acquired by Microsoft, so it's much more likely that the company you're working for will shutter). It should take ~30 minutes to push your repo to another provider including looking up instructions. Unlike database backups, there is rarely any data loss and any data loss should be recoverable. It's also not client-facing, but is a temporary problem similar to wifi going down at your office. An inconvenience and hassle, yes. Long-term problem, no.

Furthermore, the problem with these disaster scenarios are that there are much more dangerous problems than your account being deleted. Someone with admin access, could insert a back door or sell your source code to someone else. That's honestly scarier.

An extravertedness bias in underclass culture is the main reason people why people don't get into coding, which is historically more something for introverts and a "nerd thing". It's still in peoples minds, nobody in High School wants to be like Steve Urkel, it's a vulnerabilty in certain circles.

This can only be changed by changing the image of coders within mainstream pop culture, which in turn is mainly influenced by lower class culture, especially Hip-Hop culture in the last decades.

> I don't know what "flooding with cheap money" means, but by definition, if a buyer is outbid by another buyer for something, then the market price has changed so the previous buyer needs to update to the new market price.

Foreign money comes into a city and artificially (= not backed by local growth) drives up the prices, gobbles up the knowledge, then leaves. The city however is stuck with their now inadequately overpaid employees, which of course have every incentive to leave once the city inevitably tries to lower their pay again, thus basically holding the city at gunpoint: pay us or you shut down.

Just imagine how the finances of the Silicon Valley cities would be in that scenario - if they would go with the exorbitant pay rates for IT employees also for city staff, and another dotcom bust/financial crisis hits. The startups fold up, and the government is locked into now-enormous wages for the city employees.

And please don't act as if this wouldn't happen - half of SV economy / wealth is built up on dirt cheap Saudi blood money (as e.g. Uber and many others are finding out in the wake of the Khashoggi murder), and in Europe it's Chinese and Russian money instead of Saudi money. It's not a question of IF a bust happens, just WHEN. London is about to blow up in Brexit, I'm waiting for the chain reactions.

Far fewer now, since laptops have become un-upgradeable. ~10 years ago it was fairly common for folks to take their laptops to, e.g., the Geek Squad to have memory upgraded, or to install a larger hard drive.
