I think a possible alternate answer to why these associations exist would be how the brain recognizes and utilizes patterns. The human mind appears inclined to find patterns in stimuli and form conclusions from those patterns. The inordinate amount of brain real estate that is lit up during facial recognition is an example, as well as our tendency to hallucinate fake stimuli in sensory deprivation scenarios after a time. Shrill, staccato noises and their counterpart pointed, sharp images represent sudden changes in stimulus. Unless those changes are regular, it tends to disrupt the brain's ability to recognize the changes as a pattern e.g. a pop song, with often tread chord progressions and rhythms tends to get stuck in your head much more easily than say a Rush song, with odd time signatures and discordant melodies.

If you draw out these patterns, or lack thereof, as a graph chronologically, be it changes in pitch, rhythm, timbre of a sound/music, or the characteristics of drawn figures, such as change of the direction of a line over distance, dramatic and frequent changes would make it harder to interpolate what would happen if we kept the graph going. I postulate that the brain associates regular, "round" patterns with happy or content emotions because it too tries to interpolate the future state of these stimuli, and uncertainty about that future gets associated with "negative" emotions that are rooted in the amygdala and are tied to more survival-centric emotions such as anger and fear i.e. fight or flight.

This might be total bunk, but that's the 2 cents from a non-psychologist :)
That sounds like the opposite of what graal+truffle is doing. With truffle you write an interpreter and graal specializes it into a JIT.
Sure. And you can have sane policies to deal with this. One of which is to disclose your relationship to HR so that provisions could be made to mitigate these kinds of issues or to move the manager or subordinate to another team.

If you don't disclose a relationship with a subordinate, you should be held accountable for that.
That's not the same thing; asm.js is a precursor to WASM which is a bytecode language that doesn't include garbage collection, and asm.js is actually an interpreter for it that's written in JS. The JS bytecode the article talks about is generated from JS and interpreted by C++.

In other words, it isn't practical to compile JS to WASM, and especially not to asm.js. The browser's JIT compilation of JS targets something completely different.

> Limit second amendment more to prevent more shootings.

I've always wondered the validity of a "constitutional freedom" that allows random everyday people to own and operate tools that are essentially killing machines.
Exactly. I was wondering if I missed it, but I guess not. There is no indication in the research if these suicidal teens actually watched the show (or what percentage) prior to taking their own lives. I realize this is difficult evidence to gather, but without it, they're showing a pretty week correlation. There could be many other factors.
A Canadian friend of mine lives in B.C. and told me that, "80% of Canadians live within x miles of the U.S. border.... We call it 'huddled up to the stove'".
I thought one of the original aims was that kids could easily explore and modify the code behind the apps (python code I think).

I like that approach but couldn't find the "show/edit source button" (using the Sugarizer web based platform)

It's not the sensor. A security chain (any security chain) relies on the fact that each step of the chain is verified and trusted. Moving, removing, or replacing any part of that chain requires that the whole chain is re-verified for trust.

That'd be like me and you being in a secret club with a secret handshake. We've been meeting at the same bar every week for years. All of sudden, your twin brother shows up one day and, as always, I go to do our secret handshake and he can't do it. He looks like you. He comes from the same parents. I have no reason to suspect that it's not you because "you" showed up just like you do every week. But I know something's not right because he doesn't know the handshake.

It's the same thing with an iPhone. That's exactly how you know that it's not third-parties that Apple cares about and that they're not trying to actively prevent anything done by third parties. If that's all it was, an OEM Apple sensor would be fine. It's not, though, because it has nothing to do with third-party vs. first-party and everything to do with security.
Some discussion of KLEE from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16851893
> Limit second amendment more to prevent mass shootings.

> Limit first amendment more to prevent suicides.

The logical conclusion from social-contagion would be not to report or limit reporting, both for suicide and mass-shooting.
But we're decreasing the quality of the service, so do they, really? We then need the aforementioned people to fill in the gaps for the systems.

Preschool: I Was Wrong
“Limit the first amendment to prevent more shootings” is also a common refrain from many in the pro-gun crowd, as is “Limit the second amendment to prevent more suicides” is for many promoting suicide prevention. Likewise, focusing on more mental health (spending money) or closing down the mental hospitals (saving money) are options with different results that depend on political ideology.
No one's talking about limiting freedoms. Just because you're technically allowed to do something, doesn't mean that you should. Yes, we can try to help people who feel alone, and we can vastly improve how we treat mental health. But we can also stop glorifying violence and suicide. Why would it be a bad thing for people to be more thoughtful about the impact their work has on society?
What kind of sync is that? Only if you manage your vaults externally (e.g. Dropbox)?
It’s possible that young females were just as affected (proportional to their baseline suicide rate), but that this wasn’t enough to be statistically significant, since young males commit suicide 5x as often. The article mentions that female suicide rates were higher too but that this wasn’t statistically significant.

I spent a lot of time in the blackhat SEO world prior to 2014 or so... I can assure you that subdomains reaped a bountiful reward from their association to the main domain.

They certainly weren't equal but they got more than a little (trust/authority/ranking - call it whatever you want) help from their parent domain.

To the point that this was the case:

If I bought a brand new, never used .com and built 500 pages of spammy content and linked those pages/content from thousands of other super spammy pages... that domain is de-indexed within 2 weeks and the pages never really ranked/got organic traffic worth the cost of the domain name.

If I built those same pages on a subdomain and linked them in the exact same manner but the parent domain was very strong - the pages would rank and traffic would flow steadily, indefinitely. (As long as the parent domains footprint/linking was large enough to absorb whatever penalty that my spammy pages brought).

It's still happening today where people buy up domains that are established with good link profiles - go to archive.org and download the sites old content, re-host it and keep it alive. Then they build spammy subdomains on the parent domain - profit.
Sure, but the majority aren't even close to being well funded.

This is a recurring issue because "significant" means very different things in different contexts. The first sentence reads as "rates increased, but in a way that is not distinguishable from noise", while the second reads as "rates increased, but not to an extent that matters".
They observed an increase, but the statistical test they used couldn't distinguish it from noise with sufficient confidence to call it "statistically significant."

Statistical significance and a significant increase aren't the same. A statistically significant increase might be totally insignificant, and for a small enough study, a subjectively "significant" increase might be statistically insignificant.
This has to do with the symmetry of the input to translations, that allows a convolutional neural network. But neural networks need not be convolutional.
When you “tax the rich at 90%” it disincentivizes people from working - would you risk starting a business or working extra hours for only 10 cents to the dollar?

Also, how do you classify “the rich”? People in the 90th percentile of household income? That would be approximately $130K a year.

This is an example of where Netflix acted without thinking what impacts a show like this will have. Nothing exists in a vacuum, and this was on Netflix to resolve.

> Vendor. Everything. Always. [...] Your network connection to the corporate network will be down

I think this is a bit extreme and becomes very hard to manage dependencies department wide. I can walk over to the storage machine if corporate network is down. I know that some people want the entire internet, every git repo, every docker image, every game/binary asset, and every needed dependency available locally, but this is just not reasonable. This kind of hardline stance disregards the benefit of intranet stores, be it for code, docker images, whatever.

There is a middleground between not relying on third party services and requiring the ability to build after a fresh clone in a vacuum. Some builds simply require more than vendorable pieces, and just telling them they're doing it wrong is like telling someone they are doing it wrong relying on their corporate email servers instead of walking across office and delivering a hand-written note.

Maybe something like, "vendor code as much as you can" is a more reasonable approach than "always" this, "you're doing it wrong" that.
These mean different things.

You can have a 1% increase (which is not a "significant" increase) but with a large enough sample size you can be quite confident in it (statistically significant).

None of them. I'm not sure what your experience has been like on the World Wide Web, but for me, immediately preceding social networks were just forums, and the best Internet community experiences of my life were on those websites. So there are entirely different models of communities outside of "social networks." The latter most is just the most recent phenomenon. And it will be replaced sooner or later.

In fact, I think we're overdue.

Anyway, at least forums were actual communities, where you recognized people's usernames, people had reputations instead of likes or karma, and people made up their own mind about things instead of having signals tell you what to think.

What we have with social networks are too many people spewing their worthless opinions with such velocity that any meaningful discourse or information you might hope to extract is drowned in uneducated or uninformed quips and blurts.

Not sure why you put quotes around constitutional freedom.

As simple as that.

> same levels of happiness,

Because, it's harder to be happy when you consider your money is being spent for 'those people' in Alabama, who are really nothing like you, than it is for you to be upset that your poor neighbor -- who you see everyday -- is benefiting from your taxes.

The United States is a conglomeration of sovereign entities, the states, and thus you see exactly the kind of disarray as you see in other supra-sovereign entities, such as the EU. While many member countries are certainly quite harmonious, with high standards of living, the quality among countries is quite striking, as is the general distaste whenever someone suggests wealth transfers between them.

Canada is also a federation, but, there's so few Canadians, and most of them have a common enemy -- the Quebecois.

NPR did a good story on a study that examined what shooters DO and DO NOT like.

They like videos of chaos and screaming.

They like their photo shown.

They don't like stories about the victims that make the victims seem like they're human. What they were doing before the shootings, things they did with their lives, etc.

They don't like stories about the community itself that aren't just about the event (shooting).

I noticed NPR does a lot of stories about the the victims.

Nothing should be legally restricted, but I think news orgs can do their job 100% and still participate in a potentially helpful manner. To be clear there is no science that says doing any of these things reduce any amount of shooting or such, but it seems like a reasonable theory that if they see shootings result in coverage they don't like, it might discourage them if they think they won't get what they want.
I have thought about this quite a bit and tried to word my initial post as a personal statement (not an objective fact of the inferiority of making $50k in Kansas as opposed to Quebec).

I entirely agree with your point that American families in Kansas, et al. seem reasonably content and the kind of fears that would lead me to look to Canada over the U.S. if I made $50-100k are perhaps entirely irrational.

My response though - again personal in nature, not objective in any sense - would be:

Canadians grew up in Canada with an imperfect healthcare system. Nevertheless, it's there and assessable whenever it is needed. There's no fear of random bills or imperfect coverage (there is a fear of waiting weeks or months, however, which is perhaps more important).

Canadian immigrants only understand the U.S. healthcare system in the abstract -- so losing your health insurance or having it and getting dinged with a large bill is a bit of a boogeyman (scary, but perhaps only because we don't fully understand how it all works in practice).

Likewise K-12 and college in Canada is a much simpler affair. I grew up in a city of 100,000. We had no private schools so everyone went to K-12 together. When it came time to go to university, my top-ranked school (in Canada) cost $7,000 a year and was quite easy to get into.

So for a middle-class Canadian family the notion of setting up your child to have the very best Canadian education available isn't an overly stressful affair. K-12 is public and college is reasonably affordable with reasonably high acceptance rates. Importantly: even if private K-12 is available, it's not overly difficult to get into McGill, et al. so why bother?

For a middle-class American family - because private K-12 is available and likely helps with getting into the best colleges - you feel somewhat compelled to send your child there (lest you do them a disservice). Then - again because elite colleges are available and better than privates - you feel compelled to help your child get into and pay for an elite, private education (even the top public options are quite pricey).

In reality what America provides is better alternatives. An issue I see with many colleagues with children is spending $10k a year on private K-12, but feeling like a bad parent because they can't afford the $30k option that has superior outcomes (a classic urban insecurity that is likely not entirely rational). In Canada there are few choices (or in health care only one choice) and while they are inferior to American comparables, they are much more widely assessable. You send your child to the public K-12, because that's just what's available. Your child has just one healthcare option. Your child can only pick from four "elite" universities and if she or he applies to them all, will likely get into one (at a reasonable cost).

It's all the paradox of choice, I suppose.
I thought it had to do with the British saying the colonists shouldn't have weapons that could help the colonists revolt against their government. So the constitution says that the people should have access to the weapons they need to overthrow the government if needed. Of course, the constitution writers didn't envision the government having tanks, airplanes, nuclear missiles, etc. that make it practically impossible for modern citizens to overthrow a corrupt government.

Biological systems climb up energy gradients and outcompete other systems.

Artificial systems should be able to climb given a suitable gradient. I think the hard part of AGI is going to be designing the environment and gradient to produce "intention", I don't think the hard part is studying the human mind to find out the "secret of intelligence"

The goal of AGI isn't silicon minds isomorphic to human minds at each level of interpretation. Just the existence of an intelligent system.
