That's not the same thing at all. Brexit is different.

Prior to Brexit, country of origin really didn't matter. Who cared if you lived in Germany but had a UK passport. It didn't matter.

Now, like it or not, we have a situation where the circumstances have change. That privilege has been taken away. We have had at least two years notice of this change. This is why there is such a surge for Irish passport applications.

Wanting to be in Germany on a UK passport post Brexit is a meaningful as wanting to be in the USA on a UK passport.
Scots law still seems plural to me i.e. The law of the Scots. Neither example you gave refers to an individual law or pine.

"Scots mayor" in this cases refers to an individual and just seems a little off. Happy to be corrected :) also not a big deal either way as the writer is German.

To me, the main mistake was the series of commercials giving the strong impression that IBM already had this incredible Artificial General Intelligence that was indistinguishable from a highly intelligent human and was solving a myriad of difficult practical problems better than any expert. I suspect that most who were well-versed in AI felt the ads were disingenuous from the start. I know I did. I think the marketing campaign would have better served IBM had it laid out their commitment to achieve these things without sounding like they were already there.
Most TVs have some weird effect where it just puts white dots in the middle of the strokes of a charater glyph.

I recently had to write a tool to output a Swagger file from a proprietary api testing format, and writing all the interfaces for Swagger based on the Swagger specification was hugely helpful. I’m not sure I would have been capable of completing the project without TypeScript.

Also coming from JavaScript development first, TypeScript made learning C# and templates a breeze.

This is formal political advertising, isn't? That's heavily regulated everywhere I know. It's not the same as posting a comment as an individual.

If you buy alcohol in a shop they ask for ID. Nobody thinks that's crazy. If you want to post a political advert they ask for ID. It seems like all they're doing here is rewording that to 'demanding' and making it sound like a police raid.

The problem is that excruciating pain is only obviously better than death if there’s something positive at the end of it.

Otherwise it’s comparable to being tortured 24 hours a day for the rest of your life.

I do not see anyone condemning the last 30 years of FAA, just the more recent work. Would it not be appropriate to criticize a significant fall from their earlier high standards?

And yes the numbers are not the only relevant issue. It is the manner in which the original certification was done, the failure to act swiftly after the first crash, and the inordinate delay in acting even after the second crash which together seem to paint the picture of an organization which puts the interest of the manufacturer above passenger safety.
This would have to be the least toxic trash he has allowed out.

I suspect you can't do some of the fancier type contortions. For the simple case, I think it works just fine.
This article only talks about useless symptomatic treatments, not about effort at treating root cause.

If you’ve just been diagnosed with something terminal you’d want to try every experimental treatment no matter how violent or dangerous. But if you’ve already established that nothing is working and your body has begun the shutdown process I don’t see why you’d want your last feelings to be shocks to your heart, your ribs broken or your throat being cut and plastic tubes shoved in.

Emergency reactive procedures (codes) for a 20 year old who had an accident on the way to the gym and a 80 year old in the last stages of terminal cancer are the same, the article is arguing that they shouldn’t be.

It's a fun tradition. We like to complain every opportunity we can about the dutch railways. But it could be a lot worse. Traveling on that Sunday by train is always fun, because it feels that with a lot of companion travels you share this love for books, creating a different atmosphere from traveling different days.

> Any nuclear reactor will have a probability different from zero for producing an incredibly expensive nuclear accident.

A coal fired power plant will also have a probability different from zero for producing nuclear waste.

In fact, AFAIK the radiation risk from living near a coal powered power plant is significantly larger than living next to a nuclear reactor.

I guess if this was taken into account coal powered power plants would also require incredibly expensive cleanup.

That said as long as renewable is cheaper we should go with that going forward.

You seem to be thinking of a case where an otherwise healthy person is dying of an incurable disease, and risky treatments might bring their health completely back.

I don't think that's an accurate portrayal of most sicknesses and death in a hospital for the elderly. It's more like a progression of failures and problems (or a constellation), some mitigated, leading to more or less prolonged suffering with no end in sight but death. An 80-year-old with Alzheimers, diabetes, and cardiac problems doesn't have a "root cause" that you can just fix with an experimental treatment. They're old. We all get old. In that kind of case, I hope the doctors' perspective makes more sense...
I worked on this project and there were a lot of issues. Two of the biggest were:

* Whatever the quality of the technology (which I personally never saw as that compelling) was wrapped up in terribly written research code, making it practically impossible to setup and use.

* The Jeopardy demo was made possible by the existence of a marked-up source of general knowledge (Wikipedia), a ready-made bank of questions and answers from past shows (j-archive.org), and the fact that practically anyone had the ability to curate more Q&A pairs. This is almost totally different than the medical use case where the knowledge is wrapped up in proprietary textbooks and papers and the only people able to curate training data are medical professionals.

Scalability. What harm could one professor do by watching who's paying attention? Not all that much. With tech, one software update and hey, now you have a live time series of who's paying attention when- maybe scale attendance scores based on it. Oh, certain kinds of folks aren't recognized as well by the algorithm? Oh, turns out students are being trained to manipulate their facial expressions to seem attentive? Oh well.

Ooh, hey, we have this data on where everybody sits, too- that's handy, since it gives you more information about the social graph of the student body. Reliably sitting next to a Bad Person? Maybe you need some investigating.

And if a professor is caught mentioning subversive information in a lecture? Who was paying attention more than usual during that part? They seem interested, don't they? Might need to give them a talking to, too.

It's standard practice for idiots. And apparently "Sloan Kettering experts."

There are semi-supervised techniques to do stuff like this in a more systematic/automated way, but you still don't get anything for free: the outcome depends on the priors used to do the semi-supervised voodoo. In a generous moment I might assume this is what they meant, but it's still dumb.
I completely agree. I'm not sure if there is a word for this, but I think of it as "design should match the way your brain says it". I.e. may brain says "6:15 AM", and I imagine that in my head exactly how I write it, not some weird combination of circular dials. In fact, when I see those weird combinations of circular dials on the Android clock I always feel like I need to "translate" between my mental vision of seeing "6:15 AM" and rotating an unintuitive dial.

It's awkward for the employer, especially if they're going through a lot of candidates, and usually if I don't pass an interview I tend to know why. I mean if you're socially intelligent, usually you can tell if you've said something they don't like. Plus I imagine a lot of employers probably have policies against answering that kind of question just for liability reasons, or just to not drag things out.

While in a de jure sense this is true, de facto the FAA effectively does have oversight over many (maybe most) commercial aircraft all over the world. Small countries in particular do not have the resources necessary to exercise meaningful oversight over every type of aircraft on the planet, and defer to FAA decisions in virtually every respect for Boeing and other American-made aircraft, and the US FAA and NTSB are involved in the investigation of virtually every incident involving a Boeing aircraft anywhere in the world.

Even larger, well-resourced geopolitical entities like the EU rely heavily on the FAA to do its job for Boeing aircraft, much as the FAA relies on the EASA to do its job for Airbus aircraft. It's not pure rubber stamping, but it's close enough that things like this can pretty easily happen if a manufacturer's home agency falls asleep at the switch.

An example of the FAA's influence: Airworthiness regulations are so closely coordinated that special numbering is used by Canada, Europe, and Japan to match the numbering of FAA airworthiness regulations for easy cross-referencing. The FAA is also delegated air traffic control responsibility for much of the world's international airspace by the ICAO.

It is basically impossible to fly a commercial aircraft on Earth without being under the – possibly very heavy – influence of US civil aviation authorities, and it would take a great many resources and serious, concerted political will by many countries to change that.
That's not the conversation this article is trying to have. Of course things change, the conversation here is how terrible those changes are.

> I also feel unit-level tests are less necessary with TypeScript.

Especially with strict compiler settings, including strict null checks, and the good type conventions they encourage. To give a small example, if you have a value that can either contain an error or a successful result, you can model it as the union of a success and error state. This prevents you from accessing the value until you check the result is successful (and the compiler will nicely infer the type in subsequent usages once you do.)

For me, with rigorous compiler settings and a good proficiency in type modeling, I've reached the point where I rarely have any runtime errors at all once the code compiles. Sure it might take 2% more time to write code and think through my data model, but I spend 95% less time debugging it and the end result is much more maintainable. Even using typed languages like C# and Go now leaves me slightly dissatisfied!
>I can't think of a way to implement a law like that which wouldn't be fraught with horrible problems.

Existing child protection laws are for the most part perfectly satisfactory, if they're actually used. The courts routinely decide on whether a parent is fit to make decisions about their child, or whether a particular decision is in the best interests of that child. Many of these cases will individually present very difficult decisions, but the legal principles are relatively straightforward.

The impediment to actually using those laws is largely that of pro-life activism - few hospitals are willing to legally advocate on behalf of a suffering child because of the fear of becoming the centre of a media circus.
It's not an expectation in any sense of the word, but it is a "nice to have" which makes both the owner of the location and owners of electric cars happier. Dedicated parking spots for "green" vehicles are worthless, and I'd be against any city enforcing that at all. I'm not quite sure if i'm for or against mandated charging spots yet, but regardless...

I'm simply wondering why it's not taking off more. It seems to be a win-win. Places like Disney where many will drive from far away and spend whole days there seem like a perfect fit for a ton of charging spots, especially since EV owners PAY to use the electricity there. EV owners win because they can get there easier and with less range anxiety, and the business owners win because EV owners come to their location more frequently and in many cases are required to spend time there!

A response of "qq" when all I did was say i'm surprised it's not catching on more is weirdly aggressive. I don't think businesses should have to install them, just that i'm surprised that they don't have more of them, especially in new-construction where it seems like a no-brainer to increase the number by 3 times or more just seeing the increasing percentage of plug-in vehicles on the road.
It is a difficult question for sure but in some cases your choice is between heavy medication in a hospital that makes you unable to spend quality time with your family. While the other option might mean you would die in 2 months instead of 6 months it might also mean that during those 2 months you would have the strength to play with your kids.
Sorry, but excruciating pain is always better than death, because death is eternal nothingness. At least excruciating pain is something.
How to Draw Celtic Knots
Perhaps you misunderstood the part about how we are encouraged to report these sorts of incidents so law enforcement can be aware of what is occurring in the community.

The police aren’t about to send a car out to investigate every report, or probably any of them. But they can and do raise alerts via their website and social media to advise residents of suspicious activity.

It’s an etiquette violation. Facebook being Facebook, of course this is something they messed up.

They should have sent an e-mail or verified Fb message saying “as an extra layer of security, we’d like to verify your identity in person—when is a good day in the next week when we may stop by?” (You lose the element of surprise, which gives a bad actor time to e.g. get an Airbnb and print a fake ID, but state-actor level threat models shouldn’t be assumed so early.) Maybe take over a cheap plush animal, or some other swag, as a gift for the user’s trouble.

On one hand, we want Facebook to fight fake news being spread by bots and illegal political ads. On the other hand, we get outraged when they do something as simple as verify someone’s ID. I’m no fan of Facebook, and their sociopathic culture certainly helped bring this to a head, but fundamentally, they aren’t doing anything wrong.
