Can you explain why mapping from raw space gets rid of any of the concerns I raised?

It’s interesting research for sure. I hope it stays far away from actual clinical use for a while, for the reasons I highlighted. I’d like to see convnets work alongside radiologists for a while and prove robustness to dcanner changes in the wild before we start shoving them deep in the stack where radiologists can’t review what’s happening.

Good for you. I never had any of those types of services except for Facebook and I never used that much at all. So, I don't know what it's like to "unplug" in that regard, but I can imagine how much it must suck to be in that spiral. I think in addition to the dopamine addiction, there's also some sort of neurotic or narcissistic aspect to it as well for many. I see it all the time with people everywhere. Women on the bus are constantly on all of that shit taking selfies. Like, who the fuck needs to see you making a wannabe cute/sexy face on the bus on the way to work? And that, amazingly, isn't limited to just women in their 20s, but it does trend heavily to them.

I'm married but the concept of dating in this modern world is terrifying to me. First thing I would do would be to lookup a woman on social media to see if she's one of these crazies.
Very nice UI/UX, is there anyway to apply this to a website via entering a URL and it does it auto-magically?
You mean MS Comic Chat -> MSN -> MSN Messenger -> Windows Live Messenger -> Lync / Skype -> Teams

I miss MSN so much. It was simple, worked with Pidgin, now I don't even know what new IM services even work with Pidgin in 2019.

In a perfect world I shoulda been able to use Slack, Discord etc on Pidgin still.
> It's not about amounts, it's about perception and policies. The idea of selling a product even remotely related to my job description to my current employer just sounds like a whole bag of nasty waiting to drop.

The discussion here relates to open source stuff. You give your company a bypass to the license agreement (attribution requirements, etc) in exchange for $1. That's a small business benefit, and in turn you create a clear papertrail of ownership with consideration. Yes, everyone would do this eyes wide open.

You can set the terms however fits the requirements of all involved. If you leave, they are an open source user like any other. Maybe they are allowed to redistribute without attribution, etc, indefinitely. Maybe it includes giving you the right to say that <employer> is using the package.

You do this when your employer already knows you tinker on open source, and a project is getting serious enough that it deserves to have its IP rights explicitly protected.

> Will they use their vastly larger capital to sue you for it, if indeed it is critical to them, arguing that if you felt it was useful enough to the company to sell it to them then it was part of your job responsibilities to work on it (excepting the case where you did the project prior to starting work at the company). Will you somehow be able to prove that it was done outside of work hours and relied in no way on your confidential knowledge of what the company does?

That's the whole point here-- you demonstrate that the company considered it yours at that point in time, and entered into a license agreement for it.

I have been on both sides of deals like this. Not all employers will do it, but it is a not-unreasonable way to protect everyone's interests and record what the parties considered the ownership to be at the time of employment. I've also sold company-owned code to an employee for $1 and an indefinite license because we didn't want to maintain it anymore.
Not always. Cache speculation bugs for example I dont think are covered by emulations. (At least not explicitly. If the mmu model is the same and transparent enough I suppose those could 'pass through' but only if they're implemented on the same plat form.
You’re painting this in a very biased light. When MS discontinued Software X people who paid for it could maybe even use it to this day. Some of that software was also a one time release with no maintenance to speak of. And most other pieces of software just had the functionality rolled into a bigger suite (with or without a gap in between) because it made sense.

Comparing this to killing a service is not a fair way to put it. The fact that they were acqui-killings as a justification or consolation is a bit of a stretch. The difference between killing a service and abandoning (discontinuing) a product is not just one of semantics, it’s huge.
* Rise and Kill First: A history of Israel viewed through their Intelligence and targeted assassination programs. Interesting insights into the individuals and departments that shaped the country and in turn region. According to the author, the Israelis had scrambled jets on multiple occasions to shoot down public airliners thought to be carrying Yasser Arafat. This was only thwarted by individuals intentionally delaying the process. Includes insights into history of the internal debate over the legality and morality of killing other nations non-combatants, sometimes on their soil.

Programming culture selects for those people, to an extent.

If you're employed as a programmer, you're most likely being paid to solve other people's problems by writing code. If you can't communicate with those people, you'll never be able to do that successfully.

It's no conspiracy. A socially clueless introvert who's being paid a lot of money to do nothing useful doesn't have much to offer.

Yeah not saying that part of your portfolio cannot just be the broad market, but I also often see people suggesting that doing anything other than just buying the index is somehow irresponsible and akin to "gambling".
A lot of these disconnected products have pretty much direct replacements with slightly different names, same functionality, and probably even data continuity. Or were hardly separate products to begin with.
Republican Party? Mostly, but that's par for the course - they're the same way with family values as well, until Newt Gingrich or Donald Trump want to run for office. Libertarian Party and Constitution Party will be more consistent here.
Measuring these things by outcomes is always wrought with errors. For example, how do you compare women's interest in medicine 50 years ago to their interest in comp sci today? If raw interest is low even a trivial scale issue might dissuade you.

It's also dangerous to treat all software development the same. I'm my experience women tend to be more interested in human facing parts of software like web and ui development, but less interested in the back end parts. Is this the result of sexism? Maybe, but regardless I bet the gender stats are very different if you consider front end as different than back end development.
But some of those protests are in prosperous places. The economy has been getting better for a long time in Chile. Hong Kong isn't hurting, either - or at least wasn't until the start of the protests.
It depends on your needs. Right now, I use very nearly zero mobile data with my smartphone -- 99.9% of the time, if I need internet access then I'm within range of a WiFi AP I can use. Texting and phone calls, as well as mobile data, can be done with a feature phone that allows tethering.
Downvoted for this:

> Equality of outcome forces people to do things that they may not have an interest in

What?! Equality of outcome, as I've encountered it, is always downstream of individual choice. That is, it's up to the hiring committee to enforce gender parity by selecting from available applicants, and not up to educators or policy-makers to force equal amounts of women to be in STEM. No one has ever, to my knowledge, made the argument the way you represented it (except, ironically, incels calling for mandated marriage).

I'd have taken you more seriously if you hadn't straw-manned the shit out of equality of outcome.
> in one case an indication that they would be unable to charge the person unless I also had a face shot of who it was in the driver's seat.

Because it's the truth. A driver receives a citation, not a vehicle. And a vehicle owner is under no legal obligation to say who was driving a given car at a given time. So based on those two facts alone, I don't see how you think the police can just drop citations in the mail based on a screenshot or a video clip.

> Harvard could admit sufficiently qualified students from it's applicants several times over the actual count of its freshman class

The key word there being "sufficiently". The academics at Harvard are not unusually difficult (relatively easy in some majors), and I would argue that the content in the coursework is distinctly not what makes Harvard what it is.

If Harvard only accepted their third-tier of admits (i.e., ~4000th to 6000th ranked applicants) for a decade, I imagine that you would find that it will have lost quite a bit of its shine. Not that they still wouldn't produce great people who do great things, just that they would produce much fewer of them. The ambition and capability of the top 30ish percent of each of Harvard's entering classes is a game changer, imho.

It’s not even a changing tide. Security has always been more important than privacy to the average person.

In the 90s monitored home security was a HUGE business. Thousands for an install and thousands more per year to have someone sit around and watch for unusual activity and report it to the police. ADT and Brinks are all that’s really left, but I remember dozens of companies competing in this space growing up.

Yeah, but they actually worked so it was fine.

Of course, I will not attest to any architectural advantage of NT, especially today. Everything from the filesystem to the schedulers to the memory management... it all leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe with Genode coming along, we'll get a serviceable seL4 desktop that I can run my Chicago-style UI on. :- )

My impression of the eventual ideal is that the formally-verified stuff can be allowed into the kernel, if there is some valid reason to do so; and everything else can sit elsewhere.

You can also go-out-for-a-beer and not order an alcoholic drink. I've never met anyone who had a problem with someone for ordering a soda, especially if you say you don't drink. Go-out-for-a-beer can be any social event just to see if you'll get along with a team easily, or if it will be too much of a culture difference.

Where I work, when we interview someone on-site the team they'll be working with takes the person out for lunch somewhere and spends an hour or two getting to know them.
Yes, there is troubled agriculture about, with many issues about to implode.

Over-used pesticides (Glyphosate, etc) or insecticides (e.g. neonicotin-based) which became systemic, heavily used (x times volumes of usage vs 20 yrs ago) and which in light of new research have either shown that produce side efects in environment or end-'consumer', i.e. humans or had side effect of 'developing' super-x (super-weeds, etc) which are no longer affected by initial substances, forcing agriculture producers to use even stronger substances (e.g. Dicamba).

Many of such systemic substances have started to be forbidden in civilized countries (see EU trends of banning some of them).

On top of which there is the black-swan called climate-change which with its sydtemic complexity has potential to produce systemic crop failures.

In not too long distant future farmers will have to assume an agriculture hard-reset (in terms of inputs) which will assume high double-digit Y-o-Y decrease in outputs/production.

My 2 cents.

You can certainly exploit Meltdown from a VM. The hypervisor tries hard to stay out of the way, and on a properly configured VM the vmexits should be few enough while running compute-bound code that microarchitectural side channels are very well exploitable.
Yes-- That's why they want the big platforms and chat apps to voluntarily put backdoors in their cryptography.
No. Think of entertainment startups, like indie game developers or movie studios. They don't solve a problem. Even if you think boredom is a problem, there are countless lifetimes of alternatives to whatever startup is trying to solve it.
You make a good point, and I elided any discussion of the prison system (in the U.S., at least) to make my comment brief. I agree with you that we should be working on the root causes of crime too, and personally I'd rather see a more reformation based prison system in the U.S. than our current punishment/deterrent based system.

Thing is, I'm not sure they all do it out of desperation. One incidence in the neighborhood was most certainly an addict, for which I agree with your point in helping them. But a more salient example is a group of professional thieves that stole a local plumber's truck and tools.

If you're down on your luck and for whatever reason have to resort to looting houses and cars, I can see your point. But if someone has made it their _job_ to steal my neighbor's livelihood? My sympathy runs out.
Obviously we have very different opinions.

> WinForms (and generally VS.net) was always slow in comparison

It was slower at first, sure. Performance was a huge project over multiple years for Visual Studio and the WinForms designer hasn't been considered "slow" in years.

> and WPF, same as WCF, is just an abstraction nightmare (and even slower compared to WinForms)

Not really? XAML itself is a pretty direct representation of an object graph. More so than the hideously long Attribute blocks at the top of VB1-6 FRM files and the giant blobs of binary nonsense in FRX files.

WPF Binding can be confusing, because like Vue or half the other web frameworks, two-way data binding is hard. But WPF has always supported classic double-click to code behind and set properties directly on window controls models of UI code writing, just like WinForms and VB1-6. Just about no one recommends it, for the same reason people recommend two-way binding systems like Vue because it can simplify other parts of your application and can be hugely beneficial on the other side of the learning curve.

Mileage varies on the speed of the WPF designer. Again, performance is something that greatly improved over time. Most of my worst WPF performance problems, when I was using it regularly, were with third party controls I had no control over, and tried to get rid of.

Personally, I'd greatly prefer to write XAML by hand in notepad than design in a UI in VB6 ever again. I'd complain a lot without tools to help me fix basic IntelliSense mistakes in my XAML, but I'd do it. Obviously, everyone's opinion will vary.

> The fact that VB6 and IDE still works

I cannot stress enough: it doesn't. The work I have to do in VB6 is pulling teeth. I have to do it in a VM that for reasons of security now has to be entirely isolated from network access. Even just scrolling code in that VM now takes what feels like subjective minutes to scroll just a few lines at a time. I'm constantly trying to use VS Code to comb through the codebase and prepare my plan of attack before ever opening the VM and it's like preparing punch cards for a Mainframe because I want to make sure I've prepared enough I spend as minimal time in that VM as possible. Navigating the VB6 in VS Code is horrible due to the aforementioned Attribute block garbage and absolutely no sense of navigation because all of the event handlers are wired in the FRX opaque whatsit from what I can tell and you can only assume that functions still do what they were named to do and that a `Form32_Load` wasn't actually repurposed to be `Button98_Click`. For the most part I'm thankful the codebase I'm working on isn't that evil, though I'm incredibly sick of VB6-era Hungarian notation at this point.
If I’m understanding correctly, we’re just talking about the initial call to the police when your spouse is missing. I totally agree with you if they ask to interview you after that point, but making the first call (when time may be critical) to a lawyer seems extreme. That’s not to say it’s necessarily wrong of course, but I think the average person would likely see that as strange/suspicious (including cops and jury members).
No, that doesn't work.

Well it is is pretty obvious to me that in day to day practice women were kept out of the army because (as sibling poster) they are physically worse fighters than men by raw strength. But it is also pretty obvious to me that over the centuries brilliant military planners would have regularly thought about using women on the front lines and then rejected the idea for much better reasons than 'I'm a sexist'. The stereotypes here aren't arbitrary, an unbiased thinker would have reasonably reached the same practices.

And we can't really say for certain that what everybody thought was controlling what happened. What everybody thinks and what actually happens in, eg, banking and finance are completely different. The people in control are not the people talking on the street.

> More broadly, if you see women primarily as baby machines, then military service should be the least of your worries when it comes to fertility.

Call me old fashioned but I'm ruling out the idea that men are the primary baby making engine of humanity.

On your actual point; the fact that there are other things to think about doesn't stop people thinking about this specific thing. The US lost 400,000 servicemen in WWII without really even seeing a foreign invasion; those sort of numbers absolutely should involve someone asking the question 'who can we most and least afford to lose?'. The militaries of the world are not warm and happy-go-lucky organisations. They ask quite unpleasant questions all the time.
