I think the key distinction is that clinical science rather than medicine needs as much data as possible, and then medicine needs to follow clinical science.

And then, that medicine needs to become much more sophisticated in dealing with risk and uncertainty, given the absurd complexity of the problem domain. Doctors are not idiots but they are no more than human while trying to do an impossibly difficult job, and are far too cocksure given that context. They should be asking for as much help as they can get, which is not the reality of the situation. See something as simple as the resistance to checklists in surgery for example, despite the evidence.

I see your point about ethical breaches which have taken place. I would tend to think of those as abuses of power rather than coming from an ideological position, but that may not be correct. You’re certainly right about the dangers of a beta test mentality.
> with the implication that they inherently cannot produce value.

Where in Caplan's book does it say this? To the contrary, I believe he points to specific cases where we know schools could produce more value (e.g., spaced repetition) but do not.

While there's plenty of grey area in measuring "engagement", eventually ad spend either delivers ROI or it doesn't. That's not something you can fake.
I recently moved and got internet with Spectrum. A 200/10 service yet my upload speeds were rarely above 5mbit. This was a business account with some web and dev servers behind it. I didn't even try to call customer service...

With a little more testing using UDP, I could see I was getting very spotty packetloss (<0.5%). I'd never tried changing the TCP algo before but I knew random packetloss is normally interpreted as congestion and hence causes a speed backoff.

I tried all of the ones available at the time but the one that stood out not only in performance but also simplicity was TCP-Illinois[0]. The stats provided by `ss -i` also seemed the most accurate with TCP-Illinois. I force enable it on every machine I come across now.

> How, pray tell, are we actually determining which are malignant and which are not?

When people on this forum speculate about things like this, I assume they are thinking of some future ML application. Of course you're right though, that is not doable today. The point of the OP is that if we collected more data perhaps it would be possible.

> the less charitable one is that you consider Mengele and Ishii modern medicine heroes.

The ad hominem attacks against the OP are completely unnecessary.

The start of your post feels like "appeal to authority."
I think these are polycarbonate made on Stratasys machines. It's really a replacement for the slightly more labor-intensive methods of making stuff out of balsa and styrofoam, sanding and painting, fiberglassing, etc. You still need to sand and paint, to be sure, but... fairly precise shapes can be made directly without needing forms and guides, etc, so that saves on labor.

Polycarbonate has a higher heat deflection temperature than the typical epoxies one might use in this sort of application. Stiffness is a little lower than epoxy, but not by much.
It's a statement describing his take on the situation, not an insult.
I can throw around anecdotes as well. I can verify that I think the majority of ads on content websites that I see and find interesting often have nothing to do with the article that I'm reading.

But in the absence of data, I'm leaning towards trusting that a market-leading company incentivized and dedicated to optimizing targeting models has a stronger research on targeting the majority of users than vague internet claims of bad targeting. But what do I know.
There is some research being done on this topic. At least in ways to sign models so that you can test copyright based on certain input keys.
You could do that, but it wouldn't be a good idea. Fiberglass works very well for that application and is much cheaper, faster, and higher performance.
You have more authority on this subject than I do, given your background, but I remain convinced that any "solution" in which the oil companies take combustible carbon molecules from "below ground" to "above ground" is doomed, even if reasonable carbon sequestration tech is developed.

Isn't there some overlap between BinaryAST and WebAssembly?

They aren't equivalent right now – there is a lot of stuff you can do in JavaScript you can't do in wasm yet. But, I thought the plan was to add a lot of those features (GC support, support for calling browser DOM APIs) to wasm at some point in the future. Once wasm gets those features, is BinaryAST really necessary? Couldn't a JS-to-wasm compiler work just as well?
Wait, isn’t this a significant milestone? If I understand correctly GNU was formed originally to get an operating system out and this is their 1.0 release, something like 30 years later? I’m a capitalist, man of the right, and not a fan of RMS the public person but he’s been true to his principles and has changed the world. Congratulations, GNU team!

Also, it appears to be natively scriptable in Scheme, a Lisp variant. Pretty fun.

Hope champagne corks are popping in the GNU world.
> How many Instagram influencers are there in total?

Having worked in this space back in 2010, I can say that at the time about 150 million Americans had a blog, but only about 10,000 had 10,000 or more subscribers. The numbers are bigger now with the popularity of platforms like Twitter / YouTube / Instagram / Twitch, but only a few times bigger, not orders of magnitude bigger.
The simple reason is that everybody is forced to deal with it. So you either like the way it works, or you dislike it, but there's no real option to just ignore it in Linux land anymore. For a lot of people, that means that their favorite distro suddenly works in a different way.

This happens every time you significantly change something that people use and have existing workflows for, regardless of whether your change is beneficial on the whole.
That may explain the middle east and north Africa but doesn't seem to address the OP regarding the U.S. The census data I found looks like the public/private ratio has been pretty consistent since the 1980s
Side note:

I was once part of a youth group and was strongly pressured to do that.

My inhibition was profound. At that moment I gave organized religion up. I am not religious, but do seem spiritual. Go figure.

Between that and being told who to hate and what platinum album was gonna send me to hell, it was enough.

I could have done it that day. Make up some stuff, or just let the vocalizations flow. But why?

I did find the others listening to garner meaning super interesting. There is a sort of resonance possible too. Speakers, or utterers more precisely, pick up common elements. The whole affair becomes sort of tribal.

Over time, all sorts of status, membership, meta basically, is inferred through many sessions.
> it's really all about what your industry is optimizing for, and what would cost you more money

Sure, those were not critical systems, they could be patched with minimal hasse to clients. However you can't really predict catastrophe costs. It could range from minor usability issues to hard to trace calculation errors that could jeopardise the whole production operation. If the company doesn't work work with prototypes it should invest heavily in test coverage, integration test and delivery pipelines
I have friends incoming as new grads at lyft and got an offer as well. depending on the stock price that sounds similar to the offer I and other new grads got.

Just because now is better than in the past, doesn't mean now is worth bringing someone into the world.

That's just a logical argument, not whether or not you actually believe now is or isn't worth it. That's entirely subjective and not really worth arguing about IMO.
> Anybody up for a grand bargin? I'll trade you Medicare-for-All in exchange for a complete privatization (w/ vouchers) of education.

It's not only a bad deal, but you don't have the power to deliver your end of the bargain, and the people that would have the power are at least as opposed to M4A as Conventional public schools, so no, it's not worth considet on many levels.

And, anyway vouchers aren't really privatization, it is public with either reduced accountability or increased overhead or both, depending on the conditions attached to the vouchers, which are just a mechanism for outsourcing delivery of a public function not actually privatizing the function so that government is not involved.
By the end of the first paragraph, I felt as though I was reading through Anathem again. I have never read any other writing that gave me flashbacks like that to Neal Stephenson's style.
I think what you've said is all correct. And its mimicked, to some degree, by how we build our physical lives. Shelves and desks are not so deep as to obscure what you need.

That said, I think an element that's missed is tangibility. In the real world, a stack of papers and folders are a valid way organize your own desk. You know where everything is and allowing you to tune your layout and grow muscle memory is very helpful. VR interfaces should let the user organize as they see fit. Interfaces should be tangible, movable, sizable, etc.
> I'll trade you Medicare-for-All in exchange for a complete privatization (w/ vouchers) of education.

OK, how fucked up do you want to allow the unlucky kids to become?

I mean, it's a given that in a Pure True Private Education System, anti-vaccination propaganda will be unchallenged dogma in some schools. It's a big deal now and this will just remove the few impediments it has to becoming the majority opinion in some regions. Medicare-For-All means precisely shit if the people in that region think modern medicine is pharmashill toxins gunna make you an NWO Zionist zombie-slave.

But that isn't even the worst of it. Public school is, at the very least, a way to get kids out of the house and into an environment where it isn't normal for parents to fuck their children. Teachers are mandatory reporters for a reason. I'm not saying that public schools are perfect at detecting child abuse, but completely privatizing the whole thing will shove that effectiveness right off a cliff. Don't piss off the people paying your bills, eh?

We already have segregation academies, but complete privatization will remove all choice in some regions, in that only the segregation academies will capture enough vouchers to be effective educators. Well, if you consider "The David Duke School of Racial Tolerance" to be effective education.

Yes, the oil states have bloated public sectors and dysfunctional governments. But the same basic problem - large numbers of young people with no jobs and no future.
I think they opened the platform to everyone, not just a select group or 'consumers'. The thinking behind this was commendable, however, the press made people think about the product wrongly.

The product was also ahead of its time, nowadays people would not care if a delivery driver dropped off a parcel wearing the things and did all the scanning and whatnot with a 'head mounted camera' instead of what looks like a ruggedised PDA.

They forgot the lessons learned from gMail where the word of mouth, invite only approach worked well for getting early adopters. Google Glass should have been a bit more like that, plus they could have entered different markets on a app basis, e.g. in galleries and museums the product would work well with mapping. Or sports events where the product told you who the competitors were and provided commentary.

I wish that we would identify the press as the culprit on these cock ups of marketing, they take a novel product and get the masses to imagine a use case for it that is unrealistic.

They were able to maintain and extend it. But they were starting from way behind while Google was rapidly adding new features.

Microsoft had to choose between adding their own enhancements and standards (the reason for having an engine into the first place) and playing catch up to Google. With Blink they can have both.
> That's a pointless technicality and irrelevant to the discussion. Largely as irrelevant as claiming that it's not my software that's spying on you, it's your CPU and my software is just suggesting your CPU what to do.

It would be irrelevant if we weren't talking about laws, but we are (GDPR).

If I tell someone to kill themselves, should I be punished as if I had actually killed that person with my own hands? Obviously no. In fact, I shouldn't be punished at all for saying that.

Technicalities are life or death when talking about law.

Reddit doesn't actually store the history of your edits, only that you edited it (which is why, when you scrub reddit history, people recommend editing it because then your posting is gone except for say a backup). Facebook, however, allows you to see the history of posts so if someone edits it you can see what they originally posted.

I don't think editing a Facebook post first would have the desired effect.
I have outlined my concrete suggestions elsewhere in this comments section (though they don't carry much weight since I am stumped just as much as everyone else)

> That's not Baby Boomers' fault.

Who changed the culture, preferences, and technological tools? Who made the economic and political decisions that brought us where we are today?

There's inevitably a window where some generational demographic is generally the driving leadership and consumer/citizen force behind societal trends and decisions. The boomers have been that force for some time and they're far from gone.

It's fair to acknowledge that some of the tech / choices made are useful. And, hey, "nobody owes anybody anything" or "no generation owes successive ones" is a values statement, even though it may be sociopathic. "That's not the Baby Boomer's fault" doesn't make any sense (except as an expression of that non-ethic).

> Baby boomers aren't forcing young folks to like living in cities more than suburbs.

> They're not maliciously causing robots and computers to be more reliable than humans at menial repetitive tasks.

> They're not forcing young folks to want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on mediocre private universities when reasonably priced state universities exist (and a world of knowledge for self-teaching is available through the internet)

> And even the global warming thing, our current prosperity--and don't kid yourself, America is pretty freaking prosperous--strongly depended on us exploiting cheap and reliable energy for decades.

But they did preside over changes which:

* moved opportunities (not to mention narratives of opportunity) to cities over suburbs

* remove protections for labor and diminish safety nets for those who've been caught in automation-based change

* enshrined credentialism as a mark of professional opportunity, whether or not a world of knowledge for self-teaching is available on the internet, and then administered both public-supported universities and private universities in such a way that students frequently have to pay more in tuition than they did 30 years ago.

* prioritized individually maximized returns (with some degree of shared prosperity) over sustainability.

> " that prosperity which gives us the bandwidth and resources to think "hey, let's do something about this, either find a way to avoid or prepare or cope"."

Any post WW2 prosperity should have been enough to do some important things about climate change once we understood the relevant dynamics.

> it would have been nice if everyone in the previous generation had a crystal ball and selfless motives.

"Crystal ball", that's neat, it implies we'd need impossible magic to have foreseen economic or environmental consequences 30 years ago.
its also pointless as the US is bordered by 2 seas and 2 allies (generally speaking). and your not ever going to see a need for them locally (unless your talking about trumps recent border deploys, which half the country is against)

A lot of this is by-product of Globalization. Not that it can be contained, but with Globalization, wages seek their level, with Worldwide capital flows housing becomes a hot investment. College is more expensive, but greater numbers of people are going to college than before because it's thought a blue-collar job is insufficient to survive. More people and wealthier people means greater consumption which degrades the enviro.

Now, if Boomers are seen as greedy, then wouldn't their successors be greedier if they wanted to out-earn them?
Science is about discovering things via experiments and observations about the world, engineering is about making things that work. There is a tiny bit of overlap.

CERN is a gigantic engineering project used to do a bit of science. Experimenting with different concrete mixes to find one with a set of qualities is science used to let you do some engineering. OpenAI's dota bots are the sort of thing that might fall in the overlap of both discovering things and making things that work.

Maybe more to the point, "believing in science" means "believing that those experiments and observations reveal true facts", which has nothing to do with whether or not we believe Musk will succeed at his self driving car ambitions.

Let’s just assume for sake of argument that that is true, more data is always better. And let’s assume collecting more data is not cost prohibitive on a population scale. In the real world, physicians have a major incentive to practice defensive medicine to avoid litigation.

If you order an unnecessary test and it shows something abnormal, even though in your clinical judgement it is not likely to be worrisome, you now feel a strong impulse to spend thousands more dollars to completely rule out it’s not some 1 in a million rare cancer lest you get sued. So some systemic issues at play here, not that “doctors are idiots.”

In data science, sure more data is always better but you’re not worried that more data is going to lead you to a traumatizing malpractice lawsuit.
Society always supports retirees through the efforts of current workers. If you want to eat forty years from now when you're no longer working, your choices are either to start stocking up on canned food now, or subsist on a portion of what workers make forty years hence. The physical storage plan is obviously impractical when you think about it in full, especially for services like health care.

The Social Security / Medicare point is basically just saying that our future society will not be wealthy enough to take care of retirees and other non-working members of society in the number and standard we're currently projecting. There's no victims of under-saving because it's basically impossible to save. If our current benefit levels are "too high" right now, the people victimized are today's workers having too high of taxes, too much debt to repay, or too high of asset prices to pay.
