>On the other hand, I believe the opposite is far more likely, and this is precisely where we disagree.

If I understand where you are coming from, "landing the job interview" are the direct factors Helsinki is choosing to be blind to, like name and so forth. Am I understanding that right? If so, let me clarify the point -- the factors that Helsinki _will_ judge resumes on -- experience and so forth -- are pre-conditioned on your name (etc.). So the fact that one makes the initial cut is still driven by the factors Helsinki chose to be blind to.

> Also, I completely condemn the notion of attempting to fix the problem with affirmative action, primarily because it attempts to solve inequality(evil) with deliberate and explicit discrimination(greater evil).

I get where you're coming from on this. The method I propose, if Helsinki uses the blinding methodology, is to impose any "corrective"/affirmative actions after the the blind evaluation of skills. That way every person is ensured to be qualified (avoiding the critique of "diversity hires"). One possible (and usually a default) "corrective" approach is autarky/doing nothing.

And... that's my whole point! I appreciate the discussion.
A minivan serves a similar purpose.
Or maybe they are too busy protesting[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][..] instead of focusing on product ;-)

Interestingly, before 2017, very few (no?) public news of them employees walking out or protesting publicly @ Google. It's almost like Sergey going to the airport to protest opened the floodgates[6]. The Times They Are a-Changin' (or no good deed goes unpunished...).

Honest question: how secure would an encrypted excel spreadsheet in Dropbox be as password manager?

I spent about three years working on a webapp for simplifying the RFQ process, specifically for defense projects. Ultimately I decided to finally call it quits on the app when I realized that even if I built this thing, I'd never have the skills/time/patience to sell it. Wish I had realized that sooner!

After work I would typically spend a few hours a night hacking away at whatever feature I thought was a "must have". Suddenly the list of features that were absolutely needed to ship a 1.0 release grew quite long, and was too much to manage on my own.

I called it quits a few years ago at this point, but I wouldn't say I regret my decision to have put so much effort into a project. It gave me an opportunity to contribute to some high-profile libraries like Lucene.NET and Backbone, and I most certainly grew as a developer.

I wouldn't beat yourself up too hard, though. I'm sure you learned a whole lot about browser limitations, animation, and how to manage your time and expectations in the future. If you agree, then I'd say it wasn't a total loss at all.
Why would you not “finance” the phone? All the carriers basically have payment plans where they just take the cost of the phone and divide payments by 24-36 months. You don’t pay interest and there is no markup.
There are competing laryngeal theories but the truth is, currently, the symbols are just placeholders. -ter is interesting, but doesn't matter much.

> can't be related to h2eǵ-, since the laryngeals and plosive phonations are different.

I didn't wanna mention it, because there's no end to it, and leaning on the alternative reconstruction, I chose to ignore the difference. But you are welcome to tell me more about it--Running down the list of confirmed sound laws for PIE should be real quick. There are none, as far as I know. You can't deduce from this alone that the language was stable. So I wonder on what you base your assumption.

Well, there are rules concerning composition, and no Consonant the same in CVC except perhaps in one rare exception (ses - sleep). But that's far from exhaustive.

There's really too little known to say anything definite. Semantic speculation could help a huge deal, but of course linguists are biased towards phonetics, to the degree that comparing axe and ex could be humoured to sound nothing alike. Often times they are right. That makes them narrow minded. Of course I would need to know that better to argue with it.

> If it helps, you can use Kortlandt's values

There are competing theories. Although I used to ignore laryngeals, German dialects know so many different realisations of "ch", that I think I'm good, thank you (ach echt, kiek ma, ick dachte du brochst noch en Beispiel: woher kommt "auf dem Spiel stehen"? Vielleicht von Spiegel [Notenspiegel, Tagesspiegel, etc.] > Spieyel, Spie'l; Spiggel, spick, spec- peck pickel picture). It's very similar, ch after a, o, au or u it's rough, after e, ei, eu or i it's soft, but this varies with dialect (it's all rather rough in swiss, ch or not); g can be velar (geben or yeben, fällig or fällich; some dialect even says elektrich, but elektrisch is standard) etc etc.

I have Pacht pächter down for *pHter (father), that would be a surviving laryngeal ... Acht, ächten? So yeah, pinch of salt and all.
I looked it up. It’s the same in Japan. As someone who grew up crawling around in the footwell of a VW Bug at highway speeds, that sounds both exceedingly prudent and a bit unrealistic. You can definitely fit four car seats in an Alphard because it’s a full sized minivan. The kei cars are legally limited to driver plus three passengers anyway, I think.
I have heard (so very anecdotal, not confirmed), but similar stories from folks who worked with Google (not for Google).

Google would reach to incumbent telephone/infrastructure companies and tell them that they want to use their services for some super project.
To get well integrated, Google, of course need to know the details/idiosyncrasy of the existing protocols/work around conventions/etc.

So Google employees would receive all the documentation, knowledge/know-how that they could extract.

Then the project would get 'cancelled'. And then, some time later, the 'service provider' would find that Google is implementing similar capabilities that their service is providing, only as part of their some other global initiative that aims at converting majority of infrastructure services to Google.

Perhaps these stories are a reflection of the internal culture characteristic of the 'Do-more-swindle' company.

Uggh. Yeah. We've been required to use it at work, if we want real-time chat. We were using Slack before, but it was taken off the authorization list.

Hardworking, ambitious, and honesty: you can have only two. now pick.
I have hundreds of personal projects that I pick up, work on, then put down. Then when I neeed that project to do something additional, I pick it back up again, add to it, put down. Move on to the next one.

I mean, I guess I've spent ~15 years writing a text editor, depending upon how you think about the time span.
I thought this too, until it was pointed out to me that not every H1-B is an engineer.

For example, if you want to bring in someone to teach a rare foreign language at a University, they have a qualifying special skill but they certainly aren’t making the six figure engineer salary.

Google is dead - A rotting corpse. The people who made masterpieces were already thinking about leaving when I joined in 2010, the people who were really solid (many geniuses) are leaving now in droves. The management aren't asleep at the wheel - They're pointing in, effectively, the right directions. They just don't understand why they're losing speed.

Google is unfortunately a really solidly built ship sitting on a ton of cash and a really valuable resource whose proceeds are currently going to the parasites clinging to it's shell. The thing that made them great - Search - is still solid, and is large enough and ahead enough that it can sit still, even go backwards, and people will continue to use them for many years to come. Their money faucet, ads, went from being unobtrusive and helpful to obnoxious and exploitative to cover for the lack of forward movement of the giant it stands upon.

All that said - Google still has some great people, a great mission, and amazing tech that's still years ahead of the rest of the world. It's stock will continue to go up with Wall Street. It just isn't the place it used to be - Though, like all nostalgia, I wonder if it ever was.
I've not read "Thinking Fast and Slow" but long ago I read "Heuristics and Biases"[0] and attended one of Kahneman's talks during his tour promoting his newest book.

I couldn't help but think that TFaS was the product not so much of a desire to share some new insights he'd recently discovered but rather that he saw (or some publisher pointed out to him) how authors such as Pinker, Greene, Tyson, et al were garnering considerable attention and revenue translating sophisticated scientific topics developed by others for a lay audience. As if someone said to him: "Hey, you were involved in discovering some sophisticated and important topics, why don't you translate those to a lay audience?!"

I have great respect for Kahneman and H&B is a wonderful collection. However I find it peculiar that the entirety of TFaS seems, on the surface (again I've not read it) strikingly similar to essay #22 in H&B by Steven A. Sloman titled "Two Systems of Reasoning". In it he uses Kahneman's and Tversky's work to argue for two competing strategies for arriving at the truth: associative vs rule-based.

It's as if Kahneman is borrowing from Sloman who borrowed from Kahneman.

> Why is having Google in China going to get anyone killed?

That's not the point. People already DID get killed, and ARE getting killed. Millions and millions of them. Totalitarianism is the fact on the table. That's not just "another market", and the benefit to China gained by Western complicity in it, is nothing compared to the damage we are doing to ourselves.

I doubt you understand how important this is and how deep it runs. We're not going to throw millenia of evolution of thought, and ultimately thought and human agency itself away, just to make not resisting more comfortable for "the large chunk of non-dissidents" or Silicon Valley or whoever may come.

> The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough cir­cuses, enough miracles and mysteries. Nor did they possess a really effective system of mind-manipulation. In the past, free-thinkers and revolutionaries were often the products of the most piously orthodox educa­tion. This is not surprising. The methods employed by orthodox educators were and still are extremely inefficient. Under a scientific dictator education will really work -- with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.

> Meanwhile there is still some freedom left in the world. Many young people, it is true, do not seem to value freedom. But some of us still believe that, with­out freedom, human beings cannot become fully hu­man and that freedom is therefore supremely valuable. Perhaps the forces that now menace freedom are too strong to be resisted for very long. It is still our duty to do whatever we can to resist them.

Actual court decision.[1]

This is just a rejection of a preliminary injunction. The ICO sale hadn't started yet. The court indicated that the line set by the Howey test had not yet been crossed. The ICO issuer agreed to cancel the ICO and not try again without notifying the SEC first. So the judge ruled that there wasn't an imminent threat justifying an injunction. This is not "ICOs are legal, go go go!", despite hype on crypto sites.

The big ICO case so far is [2]. This was a criminal prosecution. It didn't go to trial, the scammer pled guilty after the preliminary ruling that an ICO was a security.[3] Zaslavskiy gets sentenced soon.

We're way past that claim from July 2017.

Read the stories of also-rans from any medium and you'll find the same: lots of 'reasons'. We live in a winner-take-all world. Being truly innovative and enjoying the rewards that come along with it are exceptionally rare, and most certainly succeed by filling a need that isn't met. I haven't messed with VR since Oculus DK2's were brand new, but I'm certain the amount of vaporware. What I Need is an outsized, impossible experience that justifies the medium and my expensive purchase of tiny face monitors. The very idea of a clicker on a medium that involves physical pain if I play it too long sounds like the last thing I need. Kudos for trying though, its more than I have done.

Which is likely why it's a common backdrop for many a Tokusatsu shows[0]. Every season of Kamen Rider[1] -- and likely Super Sentai[2] as well; I'm not sure since that's too juvenile for my taste -- is all but guaranteed to have at least one episode filmed there.

Artist's ideas are just other ideas combined in yet-unseen ways. The originality (the reason they are unseen yet) is a side-effect of combinatorial explosion. Your intuition will generate novel configurations within a narrow domain, while someone else's will generate different novelties just by operating on different material and under different assumptions.

It's pretty easy to generate numbers that nobody has ever thought about before, for instance. It's easy because there are a lot of numbers.

As someone who built a machine learning field detector that works only on the source html, there are a few challenges to detecting these in the browser:

1. JavaScript is not a great language to build high speed low resource inference engines.

2. Sending user's HTML to your cloud to do so is a privacy, security and latency nightmare.

3. Regex matching doesn't get you anywhere near 95% field accuracy (not even talking about form accuracy, identifying all fields on a page correctly) on the web. You'd be amazed (or maybe not if you're a web dev) at the lack of consistency in field names - from machine generated field names to missing names to duplicate names... It's magical. Even to a human observer looking at a rendered page, it can be confusing which field is which. Just look at chrome try and fill a complicated address form out for you using a saved persona.

4. Even if achieved in JavaScript, the model would be simple to pull out and reuse elsewhere, possibly to learn how to game it.

5. Good models will be built by good data scientists, whose favorite tools likely don't produce models that can be serialized for use in a JavaScript inference engine.

This comes down to the approach taken here - put the inference in the code where it runs (and that was likely the same that trained the model) and interface with the page via extension to ship it there and back. It's local so it never leaves the machine.

It's very high stakes to take user controlled HTML into unsafe memory. Large surface area doesn't automatically mean an insecure implementation.

Those affidavits, however, contained no offers of evidence but instead general speculation that something was off in the absentee ballot counts.

It's a tradeoff. You get that advantage, but then you open yourself up to phishing attacks that browser plugins avoid by checking the domain. My ideal would be a browser plugin that sends the domain, and nothing more, to a standalone process.
So, what part of Google's chat strategy fits your description of "downsize to declutter and simplify"?

Taking advantage of a car being unlocked involves completely different actions than with a locked car, so no, not at all. (And as far as stealing the car goes, a non-hack involves leaving the keys in it too.)

If you walked through an open door to steal something, it won't be "breaking and entering" either.
