Please explain why?

From my perspective what makes sense is we have large groups of people that believe diversity as defined by certain attributes is important. We also have large groups of people that don't. And both groups have some good and some poor reasons for their beliefs. Both "sides" are legit. So how do we reconcile this?

To me, the most agreeable aspect of each side is that:

1) We live in a diverse society whether we like it or not, which has a history of certain exclusion and we should try and improve on that to make all of our lives more peaceful.

2) Not everyone has an advantage or disadvantage because of certain immutable attributes and we should be conscious of this as well. Social engineering is less engineering than politics.

The idealist approach is to optimize one way or the other; mainly for political reasons which results in resentment and bitterness. The pragmatic approach is to try and create a system that is defensible one way or another - even if it is flawed in both regards. The perfect system is impossible anyhow and a matter of opinion.

So, you design a system that takes into account both points above. You ensure you interview across certain enumerative attributes generally agreed upon as important. But you don't optimize across it as it can turn into an exclusionary system in its own right with awful side effects such as legit resentment, meritless and simply political. You don't exclude any of the apparent important diversity attributes - they all are important. You also create a reasonable metric around what this means. This ensures you, in some way, have at least given the opportunity to a vast range of of people. It doesn't mean you've given an outcome to anyone.

The trick becomes in keeping it honest - that you don't assume that a certain set of attributes is more important than another. Where a lot of similar systems get it wrong is they define that a certain subset of attributes must be included. They should demand that over the entire pool all attributes must be included. And only to a limit and after that it's fair game.

I'm only saying that we should at least try and ensure we speak with everyone in terms of various individual attributes that are generally accepted, albeit arbitrary, when opening an opportunity. And that's it. What is alarming about this? How is this not pragmatic? Who is this stealing from? How is this bad for anyone?
I understand the value of providing hypothetical situations, but the constant mention of Black Mirror episodes with very little other substance here is getting tiring. Without having seen Black Mirror, that synopsis doesn't add much to the conversation other than "somebody made a tvshow/movie about that". Other than the fact that a similar situation was explored, what new conclusion did the episode reach that warrants mentioning?
Scamming at that level requires so much skill and hard work that you have to wonder why they don't start a legitimate business to make more money with less risk? I suppose for some it's just for the thrill.

Disagree I'm fine with- hashing things out together is how we all move forward. What concerns me is how quickly a full moral judgement appears to have been passed on what is a sticky, thorny issue.

SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE IN RECESSIVELY INHERITED TORSION DYSTONIA

NATURAL HISTORY OF ASHKENAZI INTELLIGENCE
GREGORY COCHRAN, JASON HARDY, HENRY HARPENDING

http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/pdfs/ashkiq.webpub.pdf

>Ever since torsion dystonia among the Ashkenazim was first recognized, observers have commented on the unusual intelligence of patients. Flatau and Sterling (Eldridge, 1976) describe their first patient as showing ‘an intellectual development far exceeding his age’, and their second patient as showing ‘extraordinary mental development for his age’. At least ten other reports in the literature have made similar comments. Eldridge (1970, 1976) studied fourteen Jewish torison dystonia patients:
Agreed. @dang could you look at possibly swapping the link out with the fastmri.org link?
Also, in my observations, addition of energy to the extended felis silvestris catus system, such as by rubbing, especially against the natural orientation of the external excessively cleaned heat retention system, one can experience an effect opposite of flash freezing, where the "tolerance" parameter of the feline goes supercritical far faster than the human eye - or hand - can observe. This experiment is eminently repeatable, subject to experimenter's total blood supply, though the aforementioned tolerance factor usually takes some time to reach an otherwise non-objectively measured reset state.

Tsinghua is at number 1. Singapore also seems to employ a number of researchers from China.

The article does state that MIT still leads in the broader STEM fields, but Tsinghua may soon take over.

“The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (mit) still leads in the top 1% of stem papers, but Mr Marginson says Tsinghua is on track to be “number one in five years or less”.”

I'm a radiology resident with a master's in computer science. It's great that healthcare organizations are finally releasing larger datasets. There's much progress to be made in medical ML/AI.

However, my attitude towards radiology AI startups has changed quite a bit since starting residency. There really isn't a sustainable business model that involves selling standalone AI products, or even software suites. I think AI is a feature for the scanner, the PACS or for existing dictation software. That is, I think PowerScribe or GE would help a lot of radiologists by integrating AI features into their existing tech stacks.

I also think the only feasible exit strategy for radiology AI/ML startups is to get bought out for their tech talent and algorithms. I don't know of any hospitals/clinics/imaging centers that are buying AI products directly from startups. There's a ton of hype, but I'm not aware of a single positive-cash-flow radiology AI company.
Alright, but not a very good title.

The article basically says that it could reduce employment for certain industries depending on the market it's automating. Whereas reading the title made me think it was going to be an article solely focusing on the positives of AI on employment.

And it doesn't even go into whether the boost that does come is better. It's very possible that a dozen or so low paying part time jobs are worse than having one high paying job.

Do you agree that there was courage involved? You're not even acknowledging the death threats, nothing, you're shifting the goal posts as if I had written nothing at all.

It comes with a cash prize of $250k, and that would probably have been great to get earlier on. On the other hand, maybe they now had over 11 years of experience, and know a much better use for the money than they might have 11 years ago. I have no clue, but I don't see how this is anything but trying to see a problem where there is none.
Watch out for aging. My mom spoke French and Spanish aside from English. As she aged, she reads both and doesn’t understand why we can’t read too. My wife has a patient that speaks five languages. Her husband speaks 3 of them. As the patient’s illness progresses, she starts talking in a random language. Sometimes she gets lucky and it’s one of 3 her husband speaks.

Its a misleading statement, so calling BS is fair :) I am not juggling babies while programming.

By "fulltime" I mean I spend about 40 hours/week in my day job, and about 40 hours per week taking care of my daughter. Breakdown: 1 hour per morning getting her to school, 2.5 hours after work. That is 17.5 hours during the weekdays. I spend probably at least 20-24 hours on the weekend with her on average. (Note that there are 112 waking hours in the week)

However (!) note that I can multitask many other things while taking care of her, particularly chores and yard work (she often plays outside with me while I am doing construction work or yard work). She is also often self-sufficient, and often entertains herself by drawing (we try to minimize the amount of TV she gets). Also (as mentioned in another comment) my wife simultaneously watches her during some of this time so its a bit easier (although as long as she is awake it is near impossible for me to work unless I am out of the house).

About doing a great job: you are absolutely correct. I do not excel at my day job (in terms of putting in overtime), but I am performant enough during my shift to keep them happy. And I do not excel at being a dad, but I consider myself a better dad than many I know, FWIW :)
I think because it’s a different type of risk. With your own business the risk is that you fail and don’t make money. With a scam you can make a bunch of money for a long time before the risk of being caught ramps up. You’re quickly (relatively) rewarded instead of agonizing over whether or not you will be.

You could try to negotiate. For example, see if they'd go for an agreement where you couldn't talk about the details of what your work was, but you could say where you worked and what your title was, and they agree in writing to confirm that you worked there and give you a favorable reference. If they don't go for that, you can tell them that due to the expected problems that would cause for your future job searches, you'd require a much larger severance payment than what they're offering. If you can't get them to agree to terms that would be acceptable to you, you could refuse to sign and walk away from the severance payment (assuming that your financial situation would allow for that).

But do talk to a lawyer first and find out what your legal rights are in the state where you work.

An array of arrays is necessarily contiguous in C - this is implied by the type. An array of pointers to arrays will, of course, not be contiguous - and is the only way to get a dynamically sized heap-allocated 2D array in C (VLAs give you stack-allocated arrays, with all the size limits that entails).

In C++, this all is best handled by a library class.

Yeah, life isn't "Die Hard", if someone is using "high caliber armor piercing guns" against the local PD, then classifying them as "domestic terrorists" and calling in specialists to deal with them seems appropriate to me.

Police have to deal with enough crap that they shouldn't be expected to handle paramilitary situations as well, is what I'm saying.

As a counterexample, remember the "Bundy standoff"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundy_standoff That's the kind of situation where the Posse Comitatus Act means you don't send in the Army. However, if they had shot a bunch of people I'm sure they would have had to face at least the National Guard, eh?
I don't think we are going to agree any time soon. The law is messy and it seems different cases can be signed supporting both of our points.

And this is why I don’t do side projects outside of work. If I’m not learning marketable skills at work, it’s time to look for another job.

I will spend extra time learning new-to-me technology by either doing a low priority side project at work or spend 50% more time doing a project than it would have taken me to do it if I knew the technology.

There is a certain forcing function knowing that others will look at your work and use it. It’s like a commitment device.

Still true at BigCo. Total comp as a senior SWE at Google when I left (almost 5 years ago - it's more now) was something like ~$175K cash, ~$125K stocks + options, ~$50K bonus. With the 5x appreciation in stock that was going on while I was there, the stock portion could be worth $625K/year by the time it all vested. That's as employee 20,000+.
Thank you for the friendly reply. I genuinely do appreciate it.

As for why I see things the way I do, all I'll add is that if things do go the way that all other characteristics are stripped away, leaving nothing but one's professional skill set... Ok. Who decides what qualifies for what box? You should keep a very close eye on who the final arbiters are that get to decide what, exactly, a professional skill set is, and what checks and balances are in place to prevent them from abusing their position.

You may find that suddenly characteristics that you thought had nothing to do with one's profession are added or removed as is convenient for the power structure at large, or that capabilities that you would consider core to the job at hand no longer considered worthy due to opaque political decisions. Again, I'd love to be wrong about this. We'll see, I suppose.

As you might guess, the legal interpretation of "not being forced" will be more nuanced than "theoretically the guy could abandon a normal life in society to not have to use this".

For example, not being able to use a smartphone is generally not considered a sensible state for a citizen to be in. Even only being able to choose from one offering, because the other is criminally bad in terms of privacy, is generally not considered sensible.

I'm saying "sensible" here, with which I mean that it's not in the interest of the population as a whole for individual persons to feel impeded like that. Often enough rulings don't come down to right or wrong, legal or not, but rather to this type of sensible.

Marketplaces like Apple (and Steam) open themselves up to almost any content in a deliberate attempt to assuage concerns about their monopoly position and practices.

Which is unfortunate for developers, since it means they must stand out from all the other junk (ie. by using expensive and time-consuming advertising and PR) and then pay 30% commissions to the monopolist platform holder if they are successful. Its the worst of both worlds.

I think the solution is simply to uniformly increase the barriers to entry, and the simplest way to do that is monetary. Require $500 for every app or game published, which will quickly increase average quality, but is still a very low barrier for a legitimate creation.
By reputation, Netflix pays more cash than Google. Like I said in the other subthread, though, the majority of your compensation in a tech company is in equity. The biggest price appreciation in equity is for younger, faster-growing companies. When I was at Google, that was largely Facebook; by the time I'd left, it was companies like AirBnB, Pinterest, Medium, and Snapchat (though I dunno how well folks at the latter 3 are doing nowadays).

It worried me a little that you compared yourself to Udemy. Because Udemy is at best a decent look into a little bit of a certain technology, and at worst an amateurish stride through a topic. Maybe it’ll allow you to google program, but it won’t teach you computer science.

So I looked over your courses at, https://www.makeschool.com/course-catalog and I have to ask, but do you really teach computer science? You seem to lack a lot of the fundamentals on how computers, compilers and programming languages actually work, and instead offer a range of introductory courses on specific technologies.

Don’t get me wrong. I like applied computer science, we have it in my country as well, as an alternative to the universities and real CS. Such a degree takes 2.5 years, and it makes people very hireable, but it’s not comparable to a real bachelors of computer science.

I think you should aim instead, and instead compare yourself to EDX and their free course of CS50x from Harvard. I’d feel a lot more comfortable hiring someone who had completed those courses than someone who had learned React on Udemy.

Good luck though, the CS field has room for, and needs more craftsmen, but maybe don’t call it a bachelor of science if you don’t actually teach the science.

The posted text is actually a series of "dot phrases" or "smart texts" (aka templates in EHR speak), _not_ actual notes. Mostly these are inserted into clinical notes to achieve a certain level of documentation; typically they are saved in a "all negative" format, and the relevant parts are edited to reflect the patient history and physical. These seem to have been derived from the Univ of Washington Emergency Medicine residency.

These might make OK material for some initial testing but they don't reflect a real clinical note. A good source of those might be the MIMIC database [1]

You say that as if the projects are all run by greedy grubby fraudsters. While that is often the case, there are plenty out there who are working day and night on a bare bones income, to keep their projects alive through the market crash.

Sometimes, that involves pivoting from a head-in-the-clouds decentralized pipe dream in favor of a viable business, even with customers from outside the industry.

Yes, even they are capable of that. Astonishing!
