That's a lie that's being propagated by tech companies. The US educates more than enough engineers to keep up with demand. The argument about "structural imbalance" in the job market has been debunked over and over again.

Brilliant mathematicians and computer scientists are capable of making mistakes. Atiyah was a titan of his field, but in the twilight of his life he published a superfluous, incoherent "proof” of Riemann. It was so deeply flawed that not a single well known mathematician has commented on it publicly out of respect for the man - the most you can find is a MathOverflow discussion picking apart specific claims. We aren’t flying too close to the Sun if we dare to question their conjectures, even those regarding their previous work.

In consideration of this point and the available evidence, I remain deeply unconvinced there is a unrealized, grand philosophical insight to be derived from whatever Gödel’s later, more obscure work had to say about the incompleteness theorems. Likewise Fermat was probably the foremost authority on his most famous conjecture during his life; but the common consensus is that he did not, in fact, have a “truly marvelous proof” of the FLT which he couldn’t fit in the margins.

Everyone thinks silly things from time to time, their prior work notwithstanding. I’m inclined to believe Gödel either wasn’t as invested in the philosophical implications of his earlier work as you believe. Or perhaps he was, but I really doubt he actually arrived at a novel, rigorous result from it. Occam’s Razor suggests we would know if he had.

I see your understanding of America is vintage 2008.

“Fox News is the devil” was brought to you by The Daily Show that got a lot right, but also hid a lot as they transformed from exposing narrative to pushing it.

Here is some 2019 for you... FoxNews is probably less biased than CNN. Fox as a whole is fairly Anti-Trump, because Fox as a whole is NeoCon and they are NeverTrumpers. Fox opinion has been dialed back, while MSNBC, CNN, and CBS have been dialed up.
I think we're arguing the same thing, but my point was that at some marginal rate (around 70% give or take 10%), increasing the tax rate causes you to get less money from rich people, which all but the most radical fringes of the left can generally agree is not a desired outcome. And 83% is definitely past that point. So unless your explicit goal is to just stop people having that much money, that combined tax rate is too high.
I opened the article with so many expectations. Then realized it changes nothing. How does having enough money to get a masters from US make one high skilled developer? The only people who are going to benefit from this are the American Universities.

> I don't think it's controversial to say opening up ways to load apps outside of the app store will make it far, far harder for Apple to make any performance, security and stability guarantees about their devices

Why would this necessarily be the case? Apps on iOS are already pretty restricted as to what they can do - they can only access files they create (or have to ask for permission), they have to get permission to use the camera/microphone/etc, they're throttled pretty severly when they're in the background, and they can't modify any parts of the system UI. Even if you did install a malicious app, what would it be able to do?
By way of a thought experiment: If all human beings are equal, is this a necessary and sufficient condition to let a homeless person stay with you for a night? Assuming this is an option for a relative or friend. Why not willingly give up your job now? Surely someone can lay claim to your job on some merit basis. If you have children, do you distribute your time and affection in proportion to merit?

I don't see why I should give up my hard won comfort -- won collectively by my ancestors, neighbors, compatriots, myself -- to strangers. It's natural to accord special status to yourself, then to some close kin, ..., then to fellow citizens, then to the rest of humanity.

Congratulations to the team.

If anyone's reading this, what are you expecting in terms of outcomes from the public beta?
i think the answer is yes, it is avoided in the way that you demonstrate. i guess it's a matter of using an approach that reaches your audience.

the book explains it with prose: Imagine 1,000 randomly selected women who choose to get mammograms. Eight of them (0.8%) have breast cancer. The mammogram correctly detects 90% of breast cancer cases, so about seven of the eight women will have their cancer discovered. However, there are 992 women without breast cancer, and 7% will get a false positive reading on their mammograms, giving us 70 women incorrectly told they have cancer. In total, we have 77 women with positive mammograms, 7 of whom actually have breast cancer. Only 9% of women with positive mammograms have breast cancer.
I disagree. If you disagree with an actor's moral/political/ethical/what have you stance you can choose not to engage with them economically as a form of criticism and embargo. Saying 'everyone's money is green' is far more worrying to me...

If the facts that I stated are incorrect, cite your sources. If you wish to debate something I said... I welcome it.

You place yourself in a weak position philosophically and argumentatively simply going for the old dumb bully method of personal attacks, character assassination, shouting someone down, insults ETC.

Is that really the best you can do? I pointed out inaccurate information and information gaps in this story. This claim reeks heavily and obviously of major bias. I wouldn't be surprised in an Instacart competitor actually is behind this. It's sad that others in this thread didn't already do the same. The group think and blind social justice here is really sad. There are many people here far smarter than I, yet they cannot see when such a weak and slanderous smear attempt is made?

If you want to change the labor laws to make tips and wage separate then go ahead. But just know that every restaurant and service company in states that allow this do it. If a certain business doesn't, they will have a hard time competing against the company across the street who does.

Modems have been around for a very long time. By the time the mid-80's rolled around, a 300-baud cuff modem was well within the range of a young kid who had some paper-route money, because that's what I did. And my family was not wealthy at all.

[edit]- I found an article from 1987 talking about how amazingly fast (and cheap) the new 2400 baud modems were. I had to chuckle, as I still remember going from 300 (slow enough that your reading speed was baud-limited) to 1200 (wow! I can barely keep up!) 2400 and above was a speed that seemed almost decadent.

Google is doing exactly the same thing as Facebook. Both are using Apple's enterprise distribution certificate to track what is going on on users' devices.
I'm sure this is being considered, but I'm curious what the strategy is for handling signal/laser interference in dense traffic situations, in the future when all cars have 3d lidar installed.

For example, assuming 3 lidar units on the front of each car, in a large intersection, say two lanes of cars turning in front of 4 lanes of cars pointed at them, waiting at a red light. That would be hundreds of potential reflection/collisions per second.

The user manual for an older Hokuyo lidar with a single scanning plane (for example, mounted on a forklift to avoid hitting a wall) mentions to offset the mounting/angle slightly across the fleet to avoid interference.
Given the number of people using iPhones, you basically have to support the platform in order to make any money, so I wouldn't say the agreement is really "voluntary".
If I recollect correctly (haven't used WP in years), the bulk of error 500-related problems on WordPress are due to poorly written plugins -- of which there are many. One of the better ways to track down a problem is to disable plugins one by one until the problem goes away.
Which PHP version is being used? If it is still 5.* I would consider upgrading to 7.*. Just estimating now: 45000 users would be like about 1 user/minute, so maybe 10 requests per user per minute, could equal on peak max. 1-2 requests per second.

No, they were not. They said "whether or not..". That does not imply Apple did anything.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether or not Apple even had a hand in it. The issue is that security exploits are security exploits, regardless if intentionally designed or not.

What? No, it's math. Theorems are not up to interpretation, emphatically and by design. That's the purpose of math.

Gödel's theorems are profoundly interesting in their own right. They also required significant creativity and ingenuity for their time. But if there are conflicting "interpretations" of what they "actually mean", then that means most must be incorrect (or more charitably, extremely incomplete).

Frankly I'm flabbergasted you would compare (mis)interpretations of mathematical theorems to the legitimate subjectivity inherent to literary criticism...
> sometimes you just don't know enough, but with more information or context you could prove it is true

Yes, but that larger system itself contains statements that are true but unprovable in itself, and so on in an infinite regression.

And before one hand-waves it away as a mere 'hole' that we can safely ignore, Chaitin extended Godel's work to show that there are in fact an infinitude of 'relevant' mathematical statements that are unprovable within any formal system S:

At least the people being given preference for immigration are more likely to be truly exceptional instead of the cadre of shitty engineers coming in this country with mostly counterfeit resumes. I would call that progress, not necessarily a solution yet. Disclaimer: don't @ me, I'm an immigrant too, but since I live here I would like to be able to work when I'm 50 and not being replaced by someone desperate brought in this country in state of semi-servitude.
That would be even more exploitable and cause an uncontrollable immigration policy. You would get vast numbers of Muslim extremist immigrants who would refuse to adapt and wreak havoc, like Syrian refuge crisis in Turkey.

Direct application of Bayes theorem or more generally Bayesian inference (made easy now through probabilistic programming languages like stan or pymc3) can solve all of the issues that I read on this site.

In particular, the issue raised here[1] is about comparing estimates when the sample sizes are very different. Hierarchical partial pooling, can be used to accurately compare groups when the samples sizes vary widely, even when some groups have zero observations. Here is an example talking about baseball batting averages[2].

Huh, the thing that jumped out at me more was "Oh, that's what Rusty Foster (of kuro5hin) moved on to."
Yeah, you are right. It can be done. But the bulk of the sites I've seen have some cludge that crept in somewhere. Someone installs a broken plugin or writes a custom tweak and things start to fall over. The beauty of static content is this just doesn't happen. You also get some security through simplicity.

I suspect you are very good at what you do. A lot of people are not so good at maintaining an operating site. Especially not a top 100 level.

That said it's a trade off. For every advantage there is a disadvantage. Having to compile to push changes is not without it's headaches. Using external services for comments and other things can run you into all sorts of cors hell.

I did find personal income growth from 1974 on. That gets rid of the 2 income household problem. I think maybe they only surveyed households til 1974.

From 1974 to 2000, real mean personal income goes from 32K to 43K. [1]. The graph is useful to look at.

I do think some of the story is that most compensation gains went to benefits, especially our crazy expensive health care (again 5% to 18.2% of gdp). So the hourly wages stayed the same, but benefits went up. I think the original point, that more workers did not lower income, still holds.

Really I can't do an Econ Phd to respond to this thread. So I'll outsource to economists, who say more workers do not lower income.

Maybe getting a PhD in the US is a huge waste of time because there's fierce competition for most academic jobs and scarce employment prospects?
That’s one class. Another class is if the number was in a credit application or marketing form, then got resold or data-breached.

Sure, lidar gives you way less resolution. Take the velodyn alpha puck for instance, 300k points/sec. If you are moving at 60 mph once second = 88 fps. So the puck spreads 300k points over 88 feet of highway.

The tesla system has 10 cameras, but I believe only two of them look forward. I believe they are 1280x960 @ 30 FPS or 36M pixels/sec. But there's two of them, 73M pixels/sec. Each pixel is in color (lidar is just a distance).

So the tesla system has WAY more information about the environment, granted distance has to be inferred, but it also had radar to help with that.

Additionally being inherently more similar to eye sight, a car using cameras is likely to get along with human drivers better. Slowing down when it's foggy or rainy, seeing at similar ranges to humans, and being able to use color for additional context. Is that a UPS truck or an ambulance? Is that a reflection of a police car with it's light on or just a window reflection? Is that a boulder or a wind filled trash bag?
A good point, but it means you can make a high estimate by including a statistical model accounting for a percentage of accidental deaths (including overdose) that are likely suicides. As long as you have all of the data, and it’s reliable, the rest is easy. Misclassification is a much easier issue to deal with than outright fiction. The problem with China is you can’t tell what if any parts of the dataset are reliable so no methods can be employed short of espionage.
