Has there been any precedent of patients saying to the hospital at the start of a visit "I agree to pay 1.5x the medicare reimbursement rate and no more, if you don't agree to this I will go to the next hospital"?
Do you want to continue being a manager? Do you want to continue to be a developer? Both? Are you unhappy because you feel rejected or unappreciated? Or do you really miss the work?

They could assume that you want to be a developer and not a manager. They may be intentionally sidelining you, and think that they're doing you a favor. The only way you can fix that is with communication.

Or, they may currently need you as a developer more than they need you as a manager. If it's temporary, you can choose to ride it out, making it clear to them that you want back into management when possible.

TL;DR: You have to talk to them to find out what they're thinking, and why they're doing what they're doing. Don't guess. Ask.

Looking at the commit, I am wondering if there is still a vulnerability in sending error messages. What if the malicious server DOS'd the client by sending an extremely long error message crashing the client when it tries to render it. This also doesn't stop a simple plaintext message that has a phishing message like "Your machine has been hacked and your keys have been compromised, please transfer x BTC to y address within 5 minutes to prevent your private keys from being immediately drained".
I understand, but is in essence a 'finder's fee' that just works in perpetuity.

When I was a recruiter, if I placed a candidate for a FTE role and get say 20% fee (based on starting salary), I got that same fee whether someone remains in the job for 90 days or 90 years. I don't get additional money for each year they stay. That makes sense, because I'm not really responsible at all for that hire once it's made.

For consultants, recruiters may play some role in maintaining the relationship between the hiring client and the consultant. Not all recruiters do this, but many stay in contact with the consultant (to protect their investment) and with the client (to maintain that relationship, place more consultants, and ensure the client is satisfied with the work).

I'm not trying to defend predatory practices by recruiters, but if a recruiter is able to negotiate a large mark-up for their consultant, that's a skill that they should be rewarded for financially.

To view it another way, if I get a client to pay $130/hr for an open role, and I identify a qualified consultant willing to take that job for $70/hr, that's a combination of A) my skill as a recruiter, and B) the consultant's inability to recognize their own market value or inability to negotiate a higher hourly rate.

I don't think gouging is good for the industry overall, but if the consultant is happy at $70/hr and the client is also happy at $130/hr, what's "wrong" with the recruiter taking that $60/hr?

Everybody is happy, no? At least everybody is happy when there is no transparency as to where that $130 is going.

FYI, I'm playing devil's advocate here. During my career I did very little consulting work and my margins were usually closer to 15-20% of hourly rate, though I once worked for someone who had a 400% mark-up on a consultant for almost 3 years (consultant was paid ~$50/hr and bill rate was over $200).

Halide doesn't currently have good ways to handle sparse matrices, unless they have some sort of special structure that lets you pack them into rectangular shapes (e.g. a constant number of non-zeros entries per row). It would be an interesting language extension. The big thing to add would be a way to reduce over the non-zero entries more efficiently than checking them all.

I think it does pretty well in a screen reader (though, I have not actually asked anyone to test this).

If you have access to a Mac, VoiceOver is built-in and supposed to be a pretty good screen reader, though it's not as popular as the expensive ones.

If you want to check for ARIA correctness, there are plugins for Chrome and Firefox that will check your pages and show you things you did right, and things you did wrong.

Some are better than others, however. And all the ones I've seen give false positives to perfectly valid conventions. But it's better than not knowing if you're making progress.
>HFCS vs sucrose probably isn't the problem.

You’re right about portion being a big issue, which reinforces my earlier point that HFCS is cheaper than other sweeteners so it’s opted for and in higher amounts.

That said I’d say it is a problem. Look at children, there wasn’t a medical diagnosis of childhood type2 or childhood non alcoholic fatty liver disease, now both are a problem and childhood fatty liver disease is diagnosed at even higher rates than type2. So medically I think it is a problem.

And saying it’s a portion/life style issue I agree with 100% and these chronic diseases can be prevented in most cases without cutting out 100% of sugar, but i don’t know why layman can’t echo the medical science and admit cutting 100% of sugar can prevent 100% of these medical cases. In other words you can be sedentary and eat huge portions (you will have other health issues for sure which likely include liver issues) but you won’t get type 2 so long as there isn’t any insulin spiking sugar in the diet.

Edit:

Fructose is sent from the blood directly to be processed in the liver and over consuming results in deposits of fat in the liver cells (aka fatty liver disease). Glucose goes straight to the blood and is only sent to the liver to convert to glycogen if the body needs it (but most people’s glycogen stores are already full) and glucose is converted to fat in fat cells (no liver processing). In short glucose and fructose are not processed the same.

> Do you think that someone who follows all but one of those rules still deserves healthcare? All but two? What's the moral difference between someone who smokes and someone who hasn't taken heed of diet/exercise advice after getting heart surgery?

IMO most discussion of the compilation speed is incredibly narrow-minded. We incremental compilation more than anything else. Programs barely change each rebuild, so that should solve all the performance problems without having to maim ourselves.
1. Save lots of money, more than you think you will need. This will take longer than you think.

2. If you truly want something, you can probably accomplish it. The human will is stronger than almost anything else

3. It will be harder than it looks, so if you feel like quitting or giving up, just know you're not the only one and that when you do not, if you do ever "make it" then people (including you) will not fully appreciate some of what you put yourself through.

4. Be honest with yourself and those around you. If you're not careful you can fall into a reality distortion field and that can be very dangerous. Be honest about where you are in the business vs where you want to be.

5. Have three sets of goals, The ones you tell investors should be goals you know that you can hit and hopefully blow past. The ones you tell yourself should be goals you think are achievable and the ones you tell your team should be goals that you know are a stretch but can keep everyone motivated for a stretch goal and keep rallying the troops as time goes on.

6. No one owes you anything. Some people tend to feel like they are owed something from employees, investors, etc. when starting a company and this is just not true.

7. It's going to be much harder than you thought, I used to tell people that starting a company is willfully becoming manic. Some days you'll wake up and feel like you can float out of the room, other days you'll wonder if you jumped off your balcony if you could feel it, it's a crazy ride.

> You mentioned the grading of schools leading to higher quality. Do we know if any metric suffered as a result?

We don't know. Something might have suffered but if you're not measuring a metric, you can't really know anything about it. That was the reality of the educational system--very little measurement of anything--and hence the baseline of agreement (not just in Florida but in many states) was simply: let's start measuring.

> One guess I have is that teachers started teaching for the test rather than for the foundation.

This is a good guess, and some teachers and parents definitely agree with you. But the reality is that (again) unless you are carefully measuring a metric, you don't know what is really happening. Collecting a few anecdotes and opinions does not necessarily result in good data.

It's also possible that in the absence of performance metrics, some teachers managed their work to maximize throughput and minimize complaints--by passing students through to the next grade whether or not they were ready. This is also supported by anecdotes, like colleges and employers reporting a decline in student readiness.

>> I still maintain that IBM is above everyone else in the AI game, everyone.

IBM are much more open to mixing up statistical machine learning and symbolic AI, and benefit from the advantages of both. For instance, Watson used a chart parser with transitions learned using deep learning [1] to fill in frames [2] from a natural-language sentence (the challenge sentence in the Jeopardy game) and also Prolog to identify relations between elements of the parse so as to figure out the sentence's context.

Other big AI players are pretty much exclusively focused on statistical machine learning and, in particular, deep learning, and then again for very specialised tasks like image recognition, speech recognition and machine translation. IBM on the other hand is building broader-scope systems, that perform more nuanced, less strict functions; like in this example, debating, or question answering (essentially) with Watson.

So yes, in some sense, IBM is way ahead of the others in creating powerful AI systems. Just let's not confuse IBM's research with the products it tries to sell based on that research.

There's nothing that says people may not start liking the activity that is good for them later, and keep doing it regardless of whether they started doing it on prescription or with encouragement/friend recommendation. But there's usually some initial hurdle to get over, and anything that helps is probably good.
> Thanks to not having a runtime and being quite easy to create a shared library with a C-ABI, pretty much any software written in any language could be extended with code written in Rust.

Ok, but you kind of added complexity to your codebase. Now you will need not only C++ coders, but also Rust coders. If you are Mozilla or Google you can do that, you eat complexity for breakfast.. But they are probably not the companies you need right now to keep your steady growth, unless of course you are lucky that they created some killer app in Rust because of their in-house use of it. Like Google did recently with Kubernetes, only it is in Go of course, but i guess it checks the square of a killer app which helps into the language adoption as a programming trend.

Speaking of Go, it once was suffering from the same problem Rust is going through right now. It was sucessful in a first phase because of its community, but it needed more to start having more adoption and mind share. Then, Docker happened, and Go found a sweet spot to aim for and take it to the second base.
> Yeah I don't know about that. At best they are starting to incorporate deep learning into Watson. I'm guessing Watson has always been a rules engine and more specifically one designed with a lot of statistical analysis.

There's so much confusion in the market as to what Watson is, and much of it is IBM Marketing's fault. Watson is a Natural Language Processing platform. At a low level it does all the standard NLP stuff - tokenization, part of speech tagging, lemmatization, dependency parsing, co-reference resolution, stopword removal, synonym expansion, etc. Some of this is rule based, some is ML based. Building on top of that you have stuff like an Intent Classifier, Passage Retrieval with a Ranker, Named Entity extraction, Relationship extraction, and Sentiment tagging. Building on top of that, you have the actual commercial applications - chatbot/assistant, semantic search engine, knowledge graph, etc. That's what it is. It's not vaporware or smoke and mirrors, but it's obviously not AGI either.

However, I think if we gather a pool of public funds there needs to be a priority system or some feedback loop or liability included (back to finite resources being at stake).

Those things like sugar may come with a tax so that respective procedures are funded by it. Likewise for driving, insurance is required. For diet and exercise, maybe you can get an income tax credit for following certain things.

Not perfect, but I think we can get better then a simple pool that's support for everything and anything.

> The fact that people have now changed their minds on that particular matter doesn't mean that anything people haven't changed their minds but consider tradition is equally wrong.

No, but it does mean that tradition can be an obstacle for considering the rightness of an action.

Agreed. But if we assume some basic principles (e.g. like preventable pain and suffering should be avoided or human existence is good or whatever), then we can question whether something is right according to those principles.

>You are suggesting that since it’s legal for me to share a fanphoto of myself and Mike Tyson, then by extension I should be allowed to use his likeness in a 3D model in a computer game.

No, that's not what they're suggesting at all, and you're conflating two separate things here. Using someone's likeness in a commercial work is already legally protected (in the most economically important jurisdictions anyway) and is different from mere publishing of a legal photo for which the copyright is owned (for which no permission is needed by default). The argument is that if you received Mike Tyson's agreement (or that of his authorized legal agent of course) to use his likeness in a game, then a 3rd party should not have veto over Mike Tyson's ability to allow use simply because they were paid to make a tattoo for him. It'd be his likeness, and he should be the sole decider of that absent compelling public interest otherwise (such as political commentary or criticism).

If somebody else does some work with our bodies, their interest in that should be exhausted instantly by the payment they receive for that service (or by nothing if they volunteered). It's our bodies we're talking about here, one of the most personal things about a human. At the very least this should be the default, though personally I'd lean towards this being something that is immutable as well and cannot be contractually signed away either. I don't think the can of worms it opens is worth any possible public gain from body royalties.

"He is just poaching on artists"

This is silly.

No game developer or otherwise is including an athlete's Tattoo as a selling or differentiation point for a game. Said another way, nobody is buying a game in order to see Lebron's Crown tattoo. If the artwork was original and not-player specific such that a user could purchase it as DLC or something similar to place on a custom character there would certainly be a case.

Seems like the legal construct of body artwork not being owned, but rather licensed to the person who it was tattooed on is the problem.
