Very much this. My wife is going through this very thing right now. It's been a few years, and her symptoms have improved dramatically. She went from being bed ridden if allergies hit her hard to high pollen warnings barely affecting her. Her allergy specialist set her up with multiple nasal sprays (one steroid, one antihistamine) and a regimen to follow everyday. She went from multiple shots a week to once every couple weeks, and she's receiving the full dose instead of a diluted one which she was originally given. The improvement has been worth its weight in gold.
Second this point. One hire that I had a voice in getting hired showed up with no current job, no security experience, but had written a compiler at home, just for fun. Has what most folks would consider a spectacular career since then.
In my mind, SOAP is terrible because of all of the tools that implement the standard but do not interoperate. The fact that a .NET and a Perl SOAP implementation can't communicate without a very specific configuration implies that the standard isn't clear enough on the points that actually matter.

The other issue I have with SOAP is really an issue with "generic RPC mechanisms" in general. In trying to generically solve every single possible RPC situation with the same tool, they end up creating an opaque tool with a ton of configuration options that expose the entire problem domain back to the user. So if that's necessary, then why bother trying to hide the details of the solution? Just let the developer decide how best to create the RPC abstraction in his or her own application.

You say that as if generals decides war all on their own. Generals generally don't decide when to go to war, civilian leadership usually does.

While the Military School thinking prevailing at the time definitely did not consider the lessons learnt from the American Civil War relevant, this was also a political issue. While generals still thought of war as a series of set piece battles, politicians also thought of it this way, feeling it unnecessary to provide their armies with 'unnecessary equipment' like camouflage.

A lot of generals during WW1 thought in the Franco-Prussian War, so most of them had been foot soldiers themselves in the past. They knew the horror, but they didn't understand the effectiveness of the machine guns. Well, until, essentially, it was too late.

Are they innocent? No. Did they send hundreds of thousands into their death out of arrogance? Probably more out of ignorance and political pressure.

If you look at the deadliest battles of WW1, they come later in the war. And they come after politicians demand action, rather than just entrenched warfare.

All I am saying; don't let politicians off the hook. They likely share more of the blame than the generals.
I started my career working in the transportation sector, and that leaves me skeptical that it can be so simple. I've watched cost cutters at work in government transportation departments. Their MO seems to always be to cut the costs that are easy to cut so they can claim easy wins right away. Unfortunately, the costs that are easy to cut are typically things like skimping on maintenance. This leads to higher costs in the long run, but, hey, that'll take decades to come to fruition, and by then it'll be someone else's problem.

In short, the state of American infrastructure today is a result of decades upon decades of mismanagement by the cost cutters. I have a hard time believing they can also be the solution.

Maybe find an efficiency maven instead?
The point is it's the same as gambling. Pure luck, no proven way to project future demand, does not generate cash flows. It's also hyped AF so you can't even tell what's real vs. speculative demand.

We’re stuck in a paradigm that doesn’t result in any valid fundamental predictions. The idea that running the expanding universe backward makes everything denser and hotter in the past is just dumb.

The universe is not like a loaf expanding from dense batter to fluffy bread.

Instead, the chaotic vacuum produces, for want of a more accurate concept, particle-antiparticle pairs at random that exert a “pressure” seen as the Casimir Effect and a force that underlies the expansion of space-time.

These pairs are mostly ephemeral, but under certain conditions they can randomly transition to a stable state. This eventually results in matter. (It results in a lot of things, but we’re biased toward the minor component, matter, because we’re made of it.)

The process happens a lot in very empty space, and almost not at all in space that is constrained by the existence of matter already. This is why “dark matter” exists out there and not down here. The Casimir Effect will give this to you; constrain the available space and some wave equations are excluded, resulting in a measurable inward pressure.

Run the expanding universe backwards: space-time contracts and we have exactly what we have right now. Run it forward and space-time expands, again giving us exactly what we have right now. Of course, things are different, but the physics is unchanged. The universe doesn’t get hotter or cooler, there’s no era of total ionization or inflation.

The fundamental ground state of the universe is chaos. Anything can arise out of that chaos, but specific events are constrained by probability: some are so unlikely that we never see them; some are so likely that they are certain and they happen all the time.

Mathematics, so useful a tool in the past, cannot describe this situation. The only way to describe this system is by using the system itself; there are no shortcuts.

Math, philosophy, reason and order are inapplicable because they are only rules-based approximations of a chaotic state.
And depending on where you are in the world: illegal.
If you can't beat them, join them.
My current thinking is that the only way to make the world better is by helping to make it worse;
things will not improve until there is total collapse so make it happen faster.
> In a catastrophic situation, you have two options: hunker down, or walk out (never drive).

If you're going to prep all of this stuff so you have options in case of an emergency:

> Have cash, food + water for a few days, two flashlights, first aid kit, compass, paper maps in ziploc bags, a knife, axe, portable stove, pot, fork, spoon, nylon cord, poncho, polar fleece, spare leather shoes, socks, warm hat, multiple redundant sources of fire, and possibly some luxuries like a tarp if you can handle the weight (but better not to).

it's probably better to prepare a bike (gravel or cyclocross for best flexibility and efficiency) as well so you can get to where you want to go 5-10x faster. You just have to wait a day until everyone has run out of gas so you can take the highway.

I think this falls somewhere between "moral hazard" and "lawyers aren't assigned to do that".

If an open case saw a change of venue and then produced large damages, that's easily interpreted as a failure of the legal team to protect Google. If Google's retention rate or recruiting efficiency drop by some percentage, it might well cost more in lost expertise and recruiting work than a bad lawsuit would. But it wouldn't necessarily be discernible as a result of this decision, or even the sexual misconduct issue in general. I wouldn't expect the lawyers involved to be able to predict the size of that second impact and decide accordingly.

Certainly corporate lawyers sometimes enforce counterproductive decisions, but it's almost always down around the project level. For an issue Pichai is personally engaging with, it'd be pretty strange for a lawyer to go beyond saying "This is the safest legal option, but it may have other consequences. If you don't take it, here's the level of legal risk." Somebody else ought to be weighing the costs, and in an ideal world ethics, of making that decision.
Many of the core ideas (well, all of them or almost none, depending on what you consider the core idea) could have been implemented with regulatory instruments in place that optimize for stable prices/controlled inflation instead of being effectively deflatory, similar to how regular currencies do it. Anything that does not will either fail in other ways or be loved to death as a value store/greater fool game. The two can never be torn apart.

I actually like the fresh approach to telling a story they're experimenting with, but they do have some bugs. Specifically that pop-over dialog you're talking about - if you set the window to half-size, a close button appears that apparently is getting lost in the responsive layout breakpoints. Pressing Escape will also close it.

You can also run Kubernetes on a mainframe now, with ZLinux and the hundreds of precompiled s390X (IBM CPU architecture) docker images: https://hub.docker.com/u/ibmcom/.

This is attractive if you happen to already be a large company and locked into mainframe contracts. Sure, you don't need a mainframe to do this, but it's also nice to not need to throw away your mainframe and buy a bunch of commodity hardware to do this.

Options are good for everybody. :-)
I would bet there are civil precedents that give some powers, but not that they'd have an app at all if they won or lost.

This is incomplete, but it sounds similar to the memory-prediction framework theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-prediction_framework) and similar theories. Although I might be biased / primed to interpret it this way.

Basically, according to such theories, we don't really "decide" anything; we carry out what we predict we're going to do, by hierarchically modelling patterns of input and output together in a hierarchy. E.g. "I am eating an apple" -> "I see an apple" and "I'm bringing the apple closer to my mouth" -> "I see lines and colour" and "I tense my hand and move my arm"

Adding a biological perspective, my opinion is that motivation arises from attention modulation by neurotransmitters like dopamine and noradrenaline, and feeding this back into the abstract theory, the hierarchy of recognition favours converging on models with high stimulation weight ("I am eating tasty food" or "I am avoiding a car crash" rather than "I am completing boring paperwork")

Hopefully I'm thinking this the right way:

If I'm searching for a particular breed of dog, and let's say EuclidesDB has already been trained. I just need to query based on my image of the dog breed?

How does it differ from me interacting directly with a model already saved after training on Tensorflow?
That must have changed recently, no? Because a few years ago all the "dangerous" search terms where blanked in the Tumblr app. Not even a straight porn, I was looking for photos of some top models and if there was any kind of topless photo in the portfolio of such model (like Pirelli calendar session, for example) - sorry, no luck, had to go to the browser.
But that comes at the expense of complicated software. Sure, once you've gone through the effort of procuring all that hardware, configuring it to run Kubernetes, reconfiguring your software to run in containers... you're good to go.

Mainframes allow you to easily scale your software vertically (but at the expense of complicated hardware). That might seem silly in today's world, but a lot of the software running on Z was written decades ago and the risk of rewriting it is extremely high.
I disagree - I use mine all the time to play RimWorld and Minecraft on my TV in the living room. For Minecraft in particular it's nice to be able to use my gaming PC in my office to play in the living room, because my kids are on the couch on their laptops participating in the same world.

Latency is the big issue, so FPS games are right out. Once you realize that, then you can choose the games you play with it to fit the platform.
>Apple removing it, but not removing imgur, reddit, or any other site as an app, is playing favorites and making excuses.

That doesn't match what they are claiming though.

Apple requires such sites to have a filter to prevent child-porn and the claim here is that Tumblr was removed for not having one that works. If those other services have a filter that works (sufficiently, I guess) while Tumblr doesn't, then it's not playing favorites, it's just having a policy and enforcing it. To limit the dissemination of child-porn. It might be hard to sue for that.
I do research in engineering, not psychology, but if I had to guess: probably the same way a lot of engineering research comes about. You read the literature, see interesting results somewhere, and questions start to pop into your head based on the reading ("hey, that's cool! I wonder what would happen if...").

The tricky part becomes actually answering that question: designing an experiment to test a hypothesis is deceptively hard. In my area (computer engineering), often times the hardware or software to test your hypothesis does not exist, so you're left searching for analogues and work-arounds that emulate the desired behavior. I could easily see some of these experiments operating under a similar idea.
Proprietary software which restricts its distribution and "unauthorized" modification (virtually all of it) is the very essence of fundamentalism. It relies on a rigid and literal interpretation of what constitutes property (e.g. that the concept of "intellectual property" is coherent and non-contradictory) and even goes so far as to use threats, ultimately backed by violent force, to ensure compliance with this belief. To conclude this blog post decrying the skepticism of proprietary software with "extreme opinions are rarely correct" strikes me as particularly ironic and absurd.

FOSS is the antithesis of this fundamentalism, as it expressly rejects the use of threats to intimidate others into not copying or modifying code. I'm sure there are some people who make sweeping generalizations that may not apply to all proprietary software, but being suspicious of an opposing viewpoint doesn't make one a fundamentalist.
> Who pays the salary & bonuses?

Salary and bonuses for who? The board doesn't get salary and bonuses.

> Who owns the entity that pays the salary & bonuses?

Corporate ownership is a complex topic. The oversimplification that shareholders "own" a fractional portion of the corporation is not entirely accurate and breaks down in complex cases like this. You get into share classes, the status of the corporate entity as an independent legal entity (which, in turn, goes down a rabbit hole that leads to corporations as non-natural people), and what power shareholders have over the guidance of the corporate entity.

That's not quite true. You can easily decompile any binary and glean all sorts of valuable information from it. On Windows you can find out which API calls it makes and can even use detours/trampolines to redirect such calls:

https://github.com/Microsoft/Detours/wiki/Using-Detours

At one point I wrote a little piece of software as a proof of concept that used detours to redirect any file I/O in IE that was deemed "unsafe" to a special in-memory file system.

The bottom line is that you don't need the source code in order tell if an application is "phoning home" or if it makes suspicious API calls. In fact, it is often easier to just simply monitor how the software interacts with the host system to determine if it is performing (possibly) malicious actions. IOW, if you're concerned about a certain piece of software, then auditing the source code isn't going to be as good of a solution as just sandboxing the application so that it's impossible for the application to do something bad.
Can you expand on this?

WW1 has never struck me as more complex than WW2, except maybe the events leading up to the start.
Stupidity and malice can often be two sides of the same coin. I once worked with an individual who shot down a project idea, but then executed it in secret for two weeks before revealing it as his pet project. After confronting him, he initially did not understand why this was deceitful. It took 3-4 conversations before he finally understood and sincerely apologized. He felt he was simply being competitive and that everyone did these types of things.

I am neither a lawyer nor a US citizen, but I think the ruling was not on "whether or not discrimination took place", but rather on "if such discrimination had taken place, would the 1st Amendment of the constitution have allowed it as 'editorial freedom'".

This article reports on what was said on a podcast and then turns speculation. What a sensational headline and bland article.
The evidence is weak because this is a motion to dismiss. My understanding (IANAL) is that the bar for dismissal would be that there isn't even a valid allegation. It would be very difficult to have strong evidence that a company discriminated against you at this point.

Once there's an actual trial, both parties get to gather evidence via discovery and they'll get to review internal documents about why these decisions were made.

Mammals are similar enough that the scent of female human would surely provoke such a response.

This couldn't possibly be correct. Female humans don't need to worry about e.g. amorous stallions, bulls, or even male chimpanzees. The fact that sexual relations of some sort have occasionally taken place between different species doesn't make anything about it "sure". If it were, mammals would waste a lot of time and energy on behavior that does not contribute to genetic fitness. Besides dolphins don't have olfactory nerves.

ASM is arguably not obsolete technology, while tractor feed pretty clearly is.
I was actually really surprised when I first found out that subway systems in many large systems shut down at night. I live in a modestly-sized city (Dresden, Germany, ~500k inhabitants), and the local transport authority prides itself on operating nearly the entire tram network (plus some important bus services) 24/7. Just this year, they have actually increased the schedule density during weekend nights. Trams now run every 30 minutes instead of every 60 minutes (which is still the rhythm on weekday nights).
