From RAVN to Latham – Alistair Wye’s Legal Innovation Journey
Sounds like potentially interesting content. Just a thought, I'm glad that I'm the one who gets to decide which embarrassing stories about my childhood go on the internet as my parents have never used social media for anything other than connecting with old friends. It looks like your username might be your real name, and if it is you might consider posting this proposed content under a pseudonym instead. A while back I read an article by a writer who actively refuses to honor her daughter's request to not be written about, and it caused me to consider this issue a bit (I don't agree with her at all): https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/01/03/my-daugh...
Integrating EXPLAINs in your build/deploy process should, in principle, make it possible for anyone to address any concern in such realms.

The DBA you were mentioning here, e.g., could first do a query in the EXPLAIN results, and he'll have his "company-wide queries audit" in a matter of seconds.
To be honest, "sending a message to the developers that we're enforcing our policies" is equally too late as self advertisement as they change the rules ever so often as they like if it sounds good to them. Fuck Facebook, you can live without the so called "social" media circle.
That's a special case though and unrelated to ().

> pain itself is predicated on its accurate coupling to injury, since the purpose of pain is inhibitory

> pain very much does indicate tissue damage

These statements are not supported by modern research. The bio-psycho-social model indicates that pain is a threat detection and deterrent mechanism, NOT a "status report" from the painful tissue to the brain. In other words, the brain is concerned that something might lead to physical trauma, yet none need to have taken place for pain to be generated.

There are certainly biological inputs to the "pain generator" function of the brain (like sensing a foreign object touching one's skin), but psychological factors/contexts and social factors/contexts can be equally strong inputs (and ultimately generate a significant pain experience without any, or with very little, biological input).

Think of the magnitude of pain response to a given situation as an indicator sitting somewhere on a spectrum between "benign" and "dangerous". The more psychologically threatened one feels, the more the pain response will be shifted toward the "dangerous" end (i.e. higher magnitude). The more socially threatened one feels, the more the pain response will be shifted toward the "dangerous" end.

Here is a somewhat contrived but favorite example of mine. One night, you wake up to go to the bathroom. In the dark, you unexpectedly step on your child's lego brick left on the floor, and it hurts immensely - it feels like the pegs are actually spikes! This is mainly because of how it has surprised you; the context is that it's dark, you expected the trip to the bathroom to be just a few simple steps, and (for sake of argument) have never stepped on a lego before. Your brain feels rather threatened by this surprising situation and generates a large pain response. Now, a night or two later, it happens again, and though it hurts it definitely isn't as bad. Another night or two later, it happens a third time, and barely hurts at all (you're basically to the point of expecting it now). I think we can agree that no tissue damage has really been done, and if pain was simply a state-of-tissue indicator then the magnitude of pain should have been the same each and every night. Additionally, if tissue damage need be present for pain to be present, why did it hurt at all?

Lastly, I'll note that lack of apparent examples != lack of evidence.

In Quake I there was even a fan-made Beavis and Butt-Head model you could use as player model in multiplayer (everyone on the LAN just copied a huge folder of models and skins to their Quake install dirs).

This is really interesting and thought-provoking, but I'm skeptical.

1. In my experience, each data source and each data format requires a lot of custom work. Each kind of prediction task requires additional custom work. I don't see this going away. Even if a company develops a solid core of reusable engineering infrastructure, it will always need to be adapted to the problem at hand. At this point, this company would seem more like a consultancy, with non-trivial marginal/variable costs. This reminds me of Palantir, which operates this way - core set of tools and infrastructure, consultants implement and apply these tools/infra at each client company with a lot of custom integration work.

2. Assuming this is not a problem and the shared infrastructure is able to generalize enough of the custom work to be feasible, this thesis actually seems like an argument for the big tech companies dominating all data companies. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have the engineering talent and resouces to develop this hypothetical infrastructure. They also have the internal political will because they can then expose this as cloud APIs. Indeed, it appears they are already attempting this in certain domains.

3. Superior engineering infrastructure is indeed a competitive advantage, but isn't enough of a moat for a single company to dominate this space. Yes, great engineers are hard to find, but there are enough of them for more than one company to feasibly develop this infrastructure, with a lot of money. You can't say the same about trying to buy the social network of Facebook or Instagram.

You can test that for yourself. Go through the three language-related sections on my site and decide for yourself how many hours you'd need to "waste" before you would "get it".

And as for "waste" : if while learning a better language, they are in addition also learning the relational model, and to think relationally, (their knowledge of both of which will be VERY poor if all they've ever seen is SQL) then there can't have been much time "wasted", can it ?
Fukushima was caused by an earthquake that directly caused much more damage than the reactor blowing up.
To be completely honest, a lot of these services need a wake up call anyway. Fake papers, fake Facebook campaigns, fake GitHub accounts, faking dating profiles and crappy search rankings are already a problem - but these services are currently unmotivated to solve these problems as they still work 99% of the time.

We are already in an arms race for people's attention and data, that horse already left the stable. Kindly asking people not to produce fake news is so far not working out for us. This AI will be replicated, likely very soon, if not already.

Not commonly known, but the highest incidence of Arab genetic markers is in Yemen, followed closely by East Africa. Based only on genetics, an Ethiopian or Somali is much more Arab than an Egyptian, Syrian, or Iraqi.

I wish they had gone into what they meant by paid by the shift. Does that mean they got to go home early if the work was done? They had to stay later if it wasn't? I'm not sure that paying for 8 hours is much incentive, and forcing people to work more for the same money seems like it would be a recipe for disaster. Giving a reward for getting through the mail faster by getting to go home early send like a pretty awesome reward though.

Old news (~2013). Australian Geographic had a feature on it years ago. Here's one of their articles: https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-cultu...

Apparently they also found Chinese coins https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2014/08/18th-ce...

Personally, having studied Chinese history, travelled the area fairly extensively, and read all of the Ming Dynasty texts around Zheng He's voyages (~1400s), I am sort of convinced it would have been unthinkable for the Chinese not to have visited northern Australia, since (a) presence of land should have been well known / established through local knowledge, currents, clouds, winds, and seabird migrations; (b) they went to so many other places, it seems insane they would stop just after the equator when they already had compass-aided navigation and strong (for the period) navigational astronomy. Still, stranger things have happened...

Theres a strange plot point, maybe in The Diesel, where Daisy, one of the very few 'female' trains, 'feels something between her axels', which turns out to be an oil leak, might be reading too much into that though...

> I will be leaving my company very soon to go to a place where there is a coding test

Maybe that's your problem right there? I'm in SV and know someone who successfully did a bootcamp, but they certainly didn't get a special route through job interviews. They had to compete with graduates and pass regular technical interviews with algorithm questions (and they could do fairly hard ones that certainly many college graduates fail). BTW the bootcamp only charged on successful job placement, so it's hard to see how they could stay in business if it was just a scam.

> and filtering to prevent bootcampers from getting in

> its snobby, but I didn't study and spend my student loan on my passion just so I can train up a bunch of people

Why should the interview be for anything other than to determine technical competence and organizational fit? I'm sorry if you've had difficulty with your student loans but I don't see why it is relevant here.

There's plenty of mediocre programmers that managed to pass a CS program somewhere. Maybe their course material covered a broad range of topics but certainly not everyone retains it or can even answer basic questions. Assuming two people with no experience, I would strongly prefer to work with whoever performs better on coding challenges and computer architecture questions even if they went to a bootcamp. Probably especially if they went to a bootcamp. If someone has 4x as much time to study and still does worse, that's hardly encouraging is it?

To me it sounds like the hiring process at your company is what is at fault, and it would be better to fix that than to rely on expensive credentials (that can only set a low minimum bar anyway) as some sort of proxy. Maybe if you are overwhelmed with applicants you could filter by individual school, bootcamp, github portfolio, etc. But this seems to be painting with an overly broad brush.
