Case in point, vaccines can cause narcolepsy.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/history/narcoleps...

They don't cause autism, but what if we set up mandatory vaccinations with absolutely no opt-out because some parents were offensively wrong, and later a vaccination does start causing serious problems and the government doesn't move fast enough to change its rules?

As some others have suggested "Archive" or "History" sound better in my humble opinion.

The thing I don't get about how most companies are approaching self driving cars is why they are trying to first get them to run on regular roads.
It seems like getting them to work well on contained campuses with limited traffic like old age homes, universities, hospitals, corporate campuses etc seem like they'd be ideal places to test and deploy low speed self driving vehicles rather than setting them free on public roads as their first market.
So like USB2 becoming USB3, or Java 1.4 going to 5, or Thunderbird going from 3 straight to 5.
I hear what you're saying, and I'm sorry you had to endure this. But again, unless the person had a very strong degree of autism, there's a strong possibility that they were just an asshole towards you, rather than not able to feel empathy on a more fundamental level. FWIW I have encountered plenty of socially awkward and personally unaware people, as well as more than a fair share of just plain assholes, but I have never (in 25 years in the profession) encountered anybody in a manager position so impaired that they'd turn the lives of their reports into a living hell _because of that impairment_. FWIW the worst manager I've seen was an extraverted, narcissistic psychopath.
What’s behind the growing ceo to employee income ratio?
Depends on the tumor/cancer type. If it doesn't inform the treatment protocol then it's basically only useful for knowledge. However, more information is always better and useful, especially in the future. So if you can do a CGP you should, or even better get complete sequencing done. But that latter is a 10k cost possibly more. Most cancer centers have a pipeline for treatment and also for research so usually you are in good hands. If a particular CGP is useful then they and the insurance will do it.
People care because overpaid CEOs destroy value for shareholders and, in theory, may be taking money that was rightfully earned by workers.

People care about a fair society, and rewarding poor performance (or over-rewarding mediocre performance) is obviously not fair.

Note also that many of these CEOs will fire subordinates for failure while they themselves are rewarded for it with golden parachutes.
Shareholders care what the company they have invested in spends its money on.
Let's just say that Reuters got more value out of the click than I did.
The Jones Act also bans registering a vessel in the US if it wasn't built there. US shipbuilders are happy serving the captive market, so if you want one to build an LNG carrier it'll cost at least four times what Samsung charges.

If the US had an open registry, there would be US-built LNG ships; there's no shortage of competitive American shipbuilders that make vessels small enough to be exempt. But the Jones Act pissed that away, as protectionist laws invariably do.
Can't do that if you want to sell an overpriced 2050 Ti.
Nope! Essentially all modern large thermonuclear devices are fission-fusion-fission devices, where the last fission stage (again, driven by fusion neutrons) produces the majority of the yield. You can omit that stage, by using a non-fissile material, for easier testing (...do you really want to test a 100MT device?...) with less fallout, but in actual use, they would all have fissile tampers.
Fully agree. Microsoft at least is otherwise relatively clean since they're best known for productivity software (although we could dive into what that productivity is actually accomplishing..) but when they start doing shit like promoting Candy Crush, I think that's well over the line.

The problem is that a certain political party and its supporters are quite adept at arguing against or flat out ignoring those facts.

Unless we do something in 2020, this will be our undoing as a country.
The difference is that it's really rare to have restrictions on the vehicles themselves. An American company can register trucks (that have been homologated) or airplanes regardless of where they were manufactured; a Jones Act-compliant vessel must also be built in the US, which is a Catch-22.
One really shouldn't believe anything that man says.
We are talking about ownership, which of course doesn't matter in your example because you don't own the buses or the stations.

If you own a house, where's the record? The title is with an insurance company. Why? Because your ownership of this house can be questioned at any time since there's no equivocal record. It's recorded in a bunch of "databases", some of which you and your insurance company may not know exist.
Vaccinations in the third world? I heard a statistic that something like 70-80% of third world children have had at least some exposure to vaccines.

"CEO pay" is only a market if you believe that having been paid an astronomical amount of money as the CEO of an unrelated company is a prerequisite to being the CEO of, say, Activision. In the past, companies promoted CEOs from within their own longterm management, instead of CEO being some kind of mystical profession unto itself.

That's not true. Pretty much everything you own is "yours" subject to various machinery that can be tampered with by the parties who control it. Blockchain can make ownership records unequivocal.

From my limited understanding of the technology involved I would guess there's some risk of overfitting.

That is, it requires significant work to train a car to drive period, whether you train it in a relatively "orderly" environment (as we would think of it) or not. However, the training to drive in a chaotic city center should generalize to handle orderly environments, whereas the inverse may not be true.

The whole idea of driverless cars is not to be people movers on tracks, but to actually provide the versatility of a human driver in a car, so getting one that can do "everything a human driver can do" seems like the bar everyone needs to hit for it to be commercially viable.
Trump is just (somewhat justifiably) trying to get Europe to step up to the plate and not leave everything to the US. Remember that we fixed their Yugoslavia ethnic cleansing problem while they twiddled their thumbs waiting for diplomacy to work. When the shit hits the fan the US will participate, if only to keep the MIC chugging along.
A company is trying to bait people in rough financial situations for what amounts to be one semester of college and 2k in exchange for 15% of their gross income for two years. I'm revolted by the concept and said my piece. At what point is it fair, and necessary, in your mind to express ones extreme discontent for what is posted?

For what it's worth, I appreciate you not censoring me and letting my post get handled fairly by letting the users decide where my comment should be.

In 1989, Democrats controlled both the House and Senate (12-vote advantage in the Senate).
The Jones Act isn't really protectionist. We don't allow foreign registered trucks to carry cargo between American cities so why should the rule be any different for ships?
Well, the thing is, a lot of people have extreme discontent about a lot of things. If everyone's allowed to simply blast theirs into the commons, HN will degenerate into a war of all against all. That isn't theoretical, it's empirical. We see it over and over again. The whole point of this place is to prevent that, so interesting conversation remains possible.

Therefore, the social contract here is that we all need to contain our discontents and express them in a factual, neutral way. I know that's not easy, believe me. But it's the skill we all need to learn together, if we're to have an internet community that doesn't burn itself to a crisp. That's a worthwhile thing to try for, don't you think?
The easiest case is freeways. City streets are vastly harder.
As far as I can tell, these companies convinced their investors that they're going to be the next Uber, so they need to look like they're making direct progress toward that goal. Driving around a retirement home might seem like a distraction when Tesla claims to be shipping a fully autonomous car by the end of 2019.
This seems like really obvious -- in a good way -- market targeting.

For the very old, that ship has already sailed. Thinking of my surviving grandmother, her take on losing access to the car is "it's a bummer but I didn't have one until I was twenty five anyway."

And many younger people would prefer not to need a car at all by virtue of living in a human-scale environment.

But for my parents (baby boomer) generation, what I hear from them is "I don't know what I'm going to do when I can't drive anymore, that's just terrifying." They love their cars, and feel crippled when they can't drive anymore, as they lose access to the suburban lifestyle they've spent their whole life pursuing.

Thus, going after the "active retirement" people who have money and want their "freedom" back is probably the best possible place for a self-driving car business to start.

Because America is very unequal and CEO pay is both high historically and high relative to countries like Japan. Excessive CEO pay is neither socially desirable or inevitable.
You cannot say "exactly the opposite" because "exactly the opposite" of an international free market would have tariffs with every country.

GB will still be subject to the "whips of EU" for any goods they want to sell to the EU.

Of course "the EU won't tolerate free trade with GB" - GB doesn't want free movement, and the EU requires free movement of labor as part of the four economic freedoms. It uses the whip/enticement of free goods, services, and capital to achieve that goal.

Do you want free movement of labor? If not, why are you against our liberty to move to wherever we want?
Apple's backend systems are a shit show. They work in a specific set of requirements but outside of their specific situations or via tech support are effectively useless.

Third question: would you consider this for more highly educated roles like machine learning or Recurse Center-like fellows? Basically people who are already highly technical who want to become more specialized.
Full disclosure: I work for Drive.ai, and these might not be the views of my employer.

But yes, retired people or just sleepier communities with an older population makes sense. It's not just because of an early stage rollout of self driving cars for a good tech shakedown, but also communities like that stand to benefit the most from it.

My dad back in the motherland retired recently and have generally poor eyesight in the dark, so he'd rather take a Grab than driving by himself if he needs to go out at night. Self driving cars could fill this need.
Where a ship is built is irrelevant. Foreign built ships can be US flagged. The owners just don't want to pay for it.
Just some causes that I think are mostly good:

1. Complexity - a change in exchange rates can hurt Netflix's / Google's / Apple's profit, even if all underlying numbers are correct. Guessing exchange rates is a terrifyingly difficult task, and it is just one of many complications 2019 CEOs have over 1969, let alone 1919.

2. Globalisation - rather ironically, if a company employs an extra 10% of people - no one loses their job they just add an extra 10% - the ratio likely gets larger. How is that a BAD thing that more people are employed? Mattel is the most telling in this context ($6,271 average worker salary). IMHO it's a GOOD thing that Mattel directly employs workers, rather than using a, say, Foxconn. But it makes the ratio a lot worse. Obfuscating real worker wages is bad for workers, but good for avoiding ending up on these sorts of reports.

3. Market size - a follow on from 2, if Google makes 50% of it's revenue outside of the USA, what should the ratio relate to? US workers to CEO? Or South African? A lot of these CEOs are multi-country CEOs, and that is a level of difficulty beyond what existed a quarter century ago.

4. Market forces - a law to make CEO pay public means it is signaling something negative when a CEO makes a low ratio, which drives it up. Having public records of salary makes negotiating easier for workers, and CEOs are no different, so it has had a double upwards pressure.

Just some things that have made it grow over time.
Fake News and Flatulence
Meanwhile, of course, no one can afford to retire. Many struggle to eek out a meager living, working dead-end jobs.
Some Olympic-level athletes deliberately train at high altitudes because the body responds by making more red blood cells in order to make the most of what oxygen is available. This then gives them an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.

So basically, if you moved to Denver and maintained your current activity level, your body would adapt within a few weeks.

Also, Denver for one is not all that high, even at 5k feet. Visiting there for a few days after several years spent at sea level didn’t result in any noticeable altitude sickness symptoms for me, just somewhat decreased stamina for aerobic activity. (Whereas a few hours spent driving over the continental divide at nearly triple the altitude did trigger very obvious altitude sickness symptoms such as dehydration, sleepiness, and headache.)
Hmm. I like that! It's bookish but not pretentious.

It also starts with an odd assertion that no one recognizes porns role in pushing technology forward. As far as I can tell this is accepted wisdom.
Not just oil heat, but using the oil to heat a boiler to turn water into steam to travel up to radiators and then finally get some warmth in your living space. It seemed so inefficient. Oh and did I mention the house had zero insulation too. Fun times, glad I’m not living in Boston anymore.
Actually, aren't they literally stealing tax payer money? Inflated salary = lower profits = less net income = less tax?

It goes beyond even that. This tech would likely help save lives more than end them.

I used to work for a company that specialized in lightweight life support devices. Their major customers were mostly military. But their uses were mostly non-combat: natural disaster response, goodwill, etc.

Of course not everyone in the military is an expert in medical care, so having something like a hololens and the ability for doctors and trained technicians to guide the situation remotely would literally be a life saving option.
Somehow related, but what defines a fair salary? Are higher up employees actually bringing more value to their company or somehow extracting it from others?

If your pay doesn't match the value of your work, I guess someone logically profits from it?
HPV vaccine is going to reduce the incident rate of cervical cancer to zero within two decades in Australia.

If you notice in this thread, vaccines and parasite interventions have the biggest impacts. Consider finding ways to improve vaccination development pipelines or getting more humans vaccinated.

> If you are teaching JavaScript and client-side skill I recommend teaching the standard DOM methods and how to efficiently “walk the DOM”. It is becoming a lost art, but there is no alternative. The DOM methods remain the only true standard to access markup as everything else is an abstraction that compiles down to that at an incredible performance cost.

Please forgive me, but this reads like a satire post from /r/programmingcirclejerk

Any sane program aiming to get candidates ready for real world jobs would teach their students modern front-end frameworks like React/Vue/Angular/Ember

These frameworks typically come with a virtual dom and they optimize state mutations onto the real DOM better than any human can.

>The entire origins of computing and the internet was about facilitating the US military.

Do you have any idea how ignorant that is? Even if we set aside Babbage's vaporware, the first electromechanical programmable binary computer was German: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z1_(computer)

* Alan Turing and Thomas Flowers were British, and Colossus (the first electric programmable computer) was built at Bletchley Park in Britain.

* ENIAC was a project at the University of Pennsylvania.

And from there, it's all universities and businesses like DEC. The computer, aside from Britain's contributions during WWII, has largely been an academic pursuit that the US military has had fuck all to do with.

Hell, the Internet was just one of many WAN systems that happened to catch on (networks like ALOHAnet were implemented well before)...and it was mostly due to academic use, culminating in some crazy researcher at CERN in Switzerland developing World Wide Web for it.
