I really don't think so. It's ignored because it essentially never happens. The odds that you'll ever be presented with such a scenario are so low that it's pointless to spend any time on it. The odds that you'll be presented with such a scenario and the obvious best answer is something other than "maximum effort braking" are even lower.

I think it gets traction with self-driving cars because people, stupidly, expect computers to make perfect decisions 100% of the time. This idea runs into a logical inconsistency when presented with a scenario in which there is no perfect decision. Rather than confront the fact that it's unreasonable to expect perfect decisions 100% of the time, people try to come up with a way to declare a perfect decision in a no-win scenario.
If you were familiar with fox news, you would understand that it is mostly propaganda driven content targeting the under educated and elderly.

I've posted that before, I'll repost that here

From Michio Kaku[1]: "The United States has the worst education system known to science. Our graduates compete regularly at the level of third world countries. How come the scientific establishment of the US doesn't collapse. If we are producing a generation of dummy. If the stupid index of America keeps rising every year [...] how come the scientific establishment of the US doesn't collapse. Let me tell you something. America has a secret weapon. That secret weapon is the H1B. Without the H1B the scientific establishment of this country would collapse. Forget about Google, forget about Silicon Valley, there would not be a Silicon Valley without the H1B. [...] You realize that in the US 50% of all PhD candidates are foreign born. [...]"

the rest of the video is pretty good too. I recommend watching it.

Who told you that? That was not my experience at all working there a few years back. Even for global teams like AWS engineering support, the US offices easily tripled the international ones in number of engineers.

I knew exactly one team based in Germany, but that was only because AWS acquired that product and team.

You're wrong, look at the data. There are 75,000+ graduates of bachelors and masters programs in the US each year, with many more in related majors and in bootcamps, where the BLS data predicts an industry growth for software developers (including standard, applications, and systems) of around 600,000 workers between 2016 and 2026.

You can make the argument that many of those with degrees aren't as skilled as companies would like, and in turn they seek employees from abroad, but it's blatently false that the US isn't graduating enough engineers to meet demand.

That’s interesting, because I haven’t been able to log into my YouTube account since Aug 2015 after they suspended a channel where I was uploading educational videos about Linux-related stuff.

I remember someone submitted a bunch of DMCA requests, and at the time the refutal process was very slow, I couldn’t prove the ownership of my videos and the channel was suspended. Since then, every time I click the “Sign in” button on YouTube, I get redirected to this page [1].

Recently I found a channel with videos downloaded from my channel, so I assumed they were the ones who submitted the DMCA requests years ago. I went ahead and pulled the same charade, I asked some of my friends to report those videos as “offensive” and a few days later they were removed.

Yeah, but if you don't err on the side of freedom, then you're basically supporting Apple-style totalitarianism.

I'm glad that Microsoft's business model won out in the PC wars and I look forward to a time when Apple loses again in their home field. As a power user, I can't stand the amount of control has over my own hardware. In my profession, I can't afford to ignore Apple though. I really hope they lose their anti-trust case!
Looks like this controversy was about a condescending poen written by a white woman about native girls, that specifically referenced the tribal group of the woman who led the protest (that the author learned of from the protester), and implied some sort of generalized drunken molestation and abuse of native women by the men of that group.

I still don't think that the university should have censored the poem, but

1) a protest isn't just for the university; maybe the author would see the point and withdraw the poem, or maybe people who heard of the controversy would be influenced to think in a different way by hearing the details and the protesters reaction to them, and

2) I'm pretty sure the reaction would have been different if the native woman had written a poem called "Stupid White Whore In My Class" and mentioned the other woman's hometown and family name, and how her uncle probably molested her. The free speech advocates that get super-mad about 10 people picketing in the courtyard of an Alaskan university for 3 days 20 years ago would instead be super-mad about "how you can say anything about white people and get away with it."

It shouldn't be the job of universities to censor speech, though. But protesting speech is also speech.
Wait, are we complaining that Facebook has too much information, or not enough? Seems like they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.
My claim is "economics is complicated", so we should listen to economists. Then I put in a link to what some economists say to give the flavor.

You can go adventuring for yourself. Look for papers from the federal reserve, university economics blogs, and academic journals. You can just read the abstracts. You will find a very clear consensus.

I am also explicitly saying that the media and even high quality media like the Nytimes will leave you with very bad intuition about the effects of immigration.
> The difference seems to be that Google starts guessing and excluding keywords, without understanding that those keywords where important.

I still find this weird because it's the exact opposite for me. I've posted this here several times, but to say it again: Everytime I use google, they honor all my forced terms. DDG, as soon as they don't have a lot of results, says "As we can't show you a lot of results, we decided you want something completely unrelated instead. Have fun."

Google also shows you which terms they excluded, DDG quietly drops them.

I like DDG, but when they made that change, it made me use !g more often.

edit: Because people tend to downvote me when I say this, here are examples:

Query: google "amp" modal

DDG: Google Maps SO issue, Google Sheets landing page, more google maps results. Only 7 is related by simply showing the AMP homepage.

Google: Only google amp results related to "modals" in some way.

And yes, the results google shows are actually in DDGs index, it's just that they decided they know what I want even though I forced the amp term.

It just occurred to me that I never see ads on Google. I'm not sure why. Possible reasons: I have an old computer, use out-of-date browsers, and my computer is set to spanish (but almost all search results are in english), browser set to 'block web advertising'. But..never any ads, at all - no sponsored results etc, nothing, not on the side or on search results or at the top of the page. (I have seen a load of them on other peoples' computers' google searches, so I know what they look like.)
That must be a fantastic problem to have!
> To a non-American, it seems like everything that is wrong with American politics: being so unable to empathize with your fellow Americans that one would treat them as an enemy and refuse to help them in any way.

I wonder where you're from, that America seems particularly bad in this regard. Things are noisy in the media here but our politics and the crap surrounding it is quite mild relative to most of the world.

because that's how we want the political process to work -- each side has their set of 'privately run services' that is the other side is banned from using. And of course any opinion not popular enough to launch their own bank + payment system + ad network should be banned everywhere unless pre-cleared by one of the political behemoths.

I generally agree with what you say, but the median family income growing seems like it would be due to most households moving from one to two workers. Looking at it that way, it makes wages look even flatter over the time period.
You do realize there hasn't been a raise in real wages since the 70s when you account for inflation right?

That's true if you only look at wages. If you look at total compensation, it's grown quite a lot even adjusted for inflation - doubling between 1970 and 2006.[1]

I dislike Facebook and rarely use it, but this article and the study were a refreshing change in that they showed both what was and what wasn't for the study participants, without being one sided or appearing to be biased. I hope more such studies are done on a larger scale (payment would be an issue if this same model is followed) and across age groups.
Goes to show that aggressively pushing products down user's throats doesn't work in the end.

Even to leave a star rating for an app on the play store, without a comment, you had to have a G+ profile. It was idiotic how much they pushed Google+. Also a bad name. "Plus".... plus what? Who knows!
Re-reading what I wrote, I see that I neglected to mention the other salient aspect- I don't find it difficult to find niche interests nowaday at all. Thanks to the internet, finding like-minded individuals for just about anything has never been easier.

But it's a different feeling than it was before, because of how things work. And some of that works against the process of forming smaller, tight-knit communities than how it used to be. And it's ok to lament loss.

Does that make more sense?
> Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem isn't particularly interesting, can be proved fairly easily (to an average high-schooler)[1]

I don't agree. The more modern result of incomputability has certainly decreased the importance of the first incompleteness theorem, but the idea of unprovability is still important.

And I don't think its a result that most high-schoolers can prove (with rigor). I would like to point out that your reference does not in fact even prove it (even informally). It only proves that there are incomputable functions. Such a function does allow you to make an unprovable statement, but that is an extra step at least as large as the given proof.

There are a bunch of important details to the formal proof (as Godel wrote) that are not easy. The method to find a fixed point of the unprovable statement is definitely not something I could repeat from memory. Understanding why the "certain amount of elementary arithmetic" is one of the details I feel is important to understanding the theorem.

Canada's Express Entry system for skilled immigrants gives you more points if you attended college in Canada. Giving priority to people who have already integrated into the society makes perfect sense to me.
As a non-American, it looks to me like one of the primary reasons why America has become so divided and tribal these days is Fox News. It makes a living selling white working class people their own fear and prejudice back to them in order to get them to vote against their own economic self-interest. I think Fox News is one of the few things in this world that you can hate with a pure heart. Hating its viewers would be different though, and that's not something I would agree with (in fact I think one of Democrat's top priorities should be to fund much better public education in rural states) but I don't think that's what was meant by the quote in the article.
Hannity and Tucker are both political commentators / entertainers. They don't claim to be anything but.

There are standard texts on the various topics listed in the contents. There are online texts on these topics as well as free to download texts. To learn everything, get a math degree or self-study the curriculum of one. The prerequisite is basically calculus.

The thing about this text is it seems like a more or less random list of theorems - it lists one theory, I think, Zorn's lemma, under topology where Zorn's lemma is more a set-theory-link-to-topology (one of the guises of the Axiom of choice, really). Which to say it has next-to-nothing on point-set topology proper. Other theory listings seem just as random. So I couldn't what order you'd follow trying to learn everything specifically here.

I don't think any of those people came to the US on an H1B visa

H1-B is one of the main ways people get a green card and citizenship since you can have immigrant intent on H1-B, something you can't on a lot of other visas.
Not the person you replied to, but thank you for posting this- it's a feature I've missed greatly.
The preference IMO is for Advanced degrees granted by US institutions & is the same basis as was before, instead now just the priority for filling up the pool is for masters degree holders first.
H1-B are non-immigrant visas in the sense they are temporary. However, they are dual-intent which means you can pursue permanent residency while in H1-B status.

I think the real reason why G+ didn't take off is because younger people were oversaturated with social media networks and most older people had already learned how to use Facebook. I think if I approached any of my older relatives with G+ they would have surely said "But I just learned how to use Facebook, now you want me to learn ANOTHER website!" The fact that any of my aging relatives is on Facebook is a miracle in and of itself.

I think G+ had done everything correctly, it was just too late. Same reason why there are still no real competitors to Facebook.

The real question is... How does Google unfuck all of the mandatory G+ integration that they forced on everyone?
WoW is a pretty good example of this too. Patches and expansions changed so much over the years that many players feel like it isn’t the same game anymore. Blizzard fought against private servers running the classic game for years, until the pay finally decided to make official classic servers. (But if your favorite iteration of the game was something between classic and current, you’re still out of luck.)

Looking at all the downvotes in this discussion is telling. There are many who are so radicalized on the left at this point, that they literally fear and dislike the open exchange of ideas. Free societies are durable over the long term when they protect these rights at all times, for all people, for all ideologies. As a rule of thumb, if the speech in question is not advocating for direct physical violence, it should be permitted.

It is especially important to understand this today, when large privately-owned platforms carry so much discourse across society, since censorship and deplatforming in those spaces has the same impact as governmental censorship, for most intents and purposes.
Good explanation of Dapp features & benefits from a “decentralized backend”. I would add a frontend aspect to the “Flawless incorporation with cryptocurrency”: Dapps allow strong blockchain wallet integration. A Dapp can easily triggered a blockchain (trans)action done by the wallet (e.g. payment, send a token to a friend, trade a gaming asset, or breed Cryptokitties <3 ). How? By having the Dapp & the wallet together. You can integrate a wallet within your Dapp, but it is often more user-friendly to have several Dapps working with the same “external” blockchain wallet. For a lot of Dapps that are browser-based: a) Standard browser & wallet as plugin (e.g. Metamask, Scatter, TronLink); or b) wallet with browsing features (e.g. Cipher, Trustwallet, Casa Tookan, Toshi-coinbase)

I think you're misreading this letter if you're reading it as objecting to the protesting.

I think it is objecting to vague threats made by university employees towards the author along the lines of "The University supports the right of free speech, but we intend to check into this matter", or "The University supports the right of free speech, but I have asked Dean X or Provost Y to investigate the circumstances".
