An ontology is supposed to be a formal way of describing things so that the people who want to discuss their concepts have a very clear and disambiguated set of terms for conducting that discussion.

There's more to it than that, but really that's the most practical explanation of ontologies within the most common context you'll likely encounter it.

A good example is the BBC Program ontology[0] which you can see the practical usage of in the (still fantastic) talk 'Beyond the polar bear'[1]

At the same time, not allowing an owner to rent is transferring wealth to corporate hoteliers. Why is that better? I rather transfer wealth to middle class and upper middle class than give it to the 1%.

Does anyone know why its so hard to tax Airbnb? Airbnb should be responsible for collecting tax on behalf of the state and county. Tax them and pass it on to the little guys.

I may be misremembering the exact amounts, it was a very long time ago - closer to 4% than 2%. I believe the tax rate today is at least double what it was back then.
Put relevant coursework at the bottom or, better, get rid of it entirely. It's already understood you've taken classes relevant to your field of study, and no employer is going to base whether to hire you or not based on which specific classes you took. Your internships are most important and it should look like what you value the most. This makes it seem as if you are excited about working and felt you did good while working.

As far as projects, they're all school homework assignments, right? I'd get rid of all them except the ones you really are proud of, and if possible have a link to the source code on the resume. Otherwise it looks like your desperately padding.

It's alright to have a short resume. If you are straight out of college, it's expected, and some employers prefer younger, less experienced workers because they are more likely to do what their told. What isn't cool, though, is to try and make it look like you have more experience then you do, and then when someone reads your resume more closely, they discover that you've been trying to look like something you're not.
> Where people can pull down the latest data and ideas, and add to them, then push our changes back to the main scientists.

A repository of ideas from non-experts will probably slow down things rather than help them. I'm not dismissing the idea outright; perhaps there's a way structured inputs from patients and caregivers can be helpful (again with some review mechanism so that real researchers don't have to wade through irrelevant data.)

Or if I am actually sorting stuff, I'm using the sort provided by the standard library. I don't think I've ever implemented a sort outside of an academic context. Used them plenty of times, but I couldn't imagine not using the standard library.

Schools talk about sorting algorithms because it's instructive, not because they're important problems. You can explain the problem in thirty seconds, and even if you explain it badly, everyone will have an intuitive understanding of the problem.

Then you can show students intuitive algorithms of insertion sort and selection sort and they'll understand the algorithm.

Then you time it. Then you show them weird non intuitive algorithms like heap sort or quicksort and show that they're a ton faster. Not a lot faster, but like way way way faster.

Then your students understand they'll need to carefully consider their algorithms and all the ramifications moving forward.

If you start a CS101 student with a hard algorithms problem they'll switch majors. And that will be your fault for being a shitty teacher, not their fault for being lazy or dumb.
My cynical take is that he wants to avoid taking any moral responsibity for his ai. As long as there's regulations, they can fall back to a "we followed the rules" defense and morality falls on the regulators.

Without regulation, they have to defend their actions by arguing that they do is morally justified.

I'm not saying no one likes it, I'm saying none of the several dozen providers and nurses I know (between two different hospitals in the area using Epic) like it.

I also don't disagree with the fact that some of the issues arise from the implementation requirements. But at some point, it's still the system's fault if it allows its users to be burdened like that. It shouldn't take clicking across three different pages and who knows how many modals to triage one patient in an emergency room. It's silly that I've had to learn which order to provide my transfer of care report so the nurse doesn't have to keep clicking back and forth between different pages...

I agree with your points, except for not knowing whether you have good chances or not of landing a TT position, say at a top R1 institution. The world is full of delusional people, and I have been among those a few times, but especially if you are doing your Ph.D. or a postdoc in a good lab, that is a lab that produces TT material, you know your chances. Then, life outcomes are probabilistic – looking back, my chances were at 5% (which does not mean that I have to apply to x positions to have > 50% probability of getting a TT position, it means that if we have 100 replicates of myself on the job market for 5 years, only 5 will get an offer).

My "it-will-be-different-for-me" syndrome was one of the reasons I found for why people still want to have an academic career when most academics are (quite vocally) miserable: burdened by endless bureaucratic work, often bullied by more powerful or astute colleagues, constantly receiving the complaints of students and committees, and brutally rejected on the regular by granting agencies, reviewers, and conference organizers. Most think or hope it will be different for them. But very likely, it won't be.

I’m happy to call this woman Ms. Turing, but I don’t understand why you are defending her actions, other than the name change.

In no way, does it ‘sound like’ the items were accessible to the public. From the article,

> A former biology teacher at the Sherborne said Julia Turing claimed she was Alan Turing’s daughter when he gave her a tour of the school.

So, while her name was not legally Turing yet, it sounds like the good professor rolled out the red carpet for her, based on who he believed her to be. It’s very certain fraud was attempted, and also successful.

It says these items were tucked away somewhere in ‘a wooden box in a laboratory’, not sitting in the library in the open for anyone to pick up and look at.

Therefore, I don’t think the reason for the name change is unknown in the case of Ms. Turing. I think it is reasonable to surmise that she believed it would be in her best interest to to acquire the last name, that helped her commit the crime 4 years prior.

If you truly want this level of freedom, you need to not buy a condo or a property with a HOA.

Additional rules for owners makes sense for condos and buildings with obviously shared common infrastructure and resources. I think it makes less sense for detached housing. Apparently a large number of developers building new houses at the subdivision-scale (not in California, lol) are now putting in HOAs automatically. It's going to be a pretty shitty situation in 30 years.
Per user guarantee levels. i.e 100% outage for 1 user is equivalent to a 0% availability guarantee.

The relationship between client and service is the same irrespective of the number of clients the service has - a number which means exactly nothing to the client.

But more importantly, availability numbers are for informing a client about how much incidents outside their house can affect them, and reasonable courses of action to take when it does.

When using the numbers internally, the fudged number is equally misleading. Unfortunately there exist fewer adversarial relationships internal to an organisation to prevent these short sighted statistical nonsenses.
You appear to feel that you have a right to take whatever you want from anybody, and any objections they may have is coercive and exploitative.

Thanks for the feedback. So maybe the main scientists would host the repository, with their ideas and data. Then we could review and perhaps add to the main scientist's ideas, or find problems with the data. Or add more data with our own experiments. In other words, a collaborative approach. Maybe the main scientists could limit contributions to people who met a certain threshold of earlier verified contributions. Or let other people corroborate and verify before the main scientists even saw the layperson's contributions. Just an idea, open to improvements!

The thread is already filled with the usual "CEOs only call for regulation when they're ahead" posts.

I find this to be such a shallow generic libertarian take on tech. Not only does this always seem to come from people who eat up everything tech executives say on every other topic except regulation, it also totally treats Pichai's arguments in bad faith.

Here's another take. Pichai is just a smart guy who is genuinely worried about the abuse of the technology because there is indeed a lot of state actors or other potential to abuse the technology in privacy damaging ways. If you want to scare Google with regulation try anti-trust, not AI and privacy security.

Nobody is competing with Google or the large players on AI anyway, regulation or not. Their advantage is in data, scale and talent. If anything higher privacy standards might create ecosystems of privacy focussed companies in the space.

Perhaps there's something different about these podcasts, but my gut reaction reading this article was that you could substitute "podcast" with "cable news" and it would mostly hold up. The difference, I suppose, is that most of these podcasts are narrower niches and "deeper" ie. longer stories within their niches than the "soundbite" versions of things that you get on TV, but, unfortunately, poorly reporting history has been a popular pastime for as long as there's been media.

One of the founders of ITA Software, which became Google's flight search, discussed some interesting issues in airline fare search [0]. I don't have enough of a CS background to fully understand all of this, but the message is pretty clear: it's complicated.

It’s like WalMart refusing to do business with Amazon.

Google does business in potentially adjacent areas on the ad side. At one point, the government was buying targeted ads to debunk extremist search topics when people at risk of extremist behavior pursued them.

There’s a lot of obvious health use cases that could use the same framework. Google knows more about you that anyone. Epic has medical claims data before the insurers do, and knows more about your healthcare spending that most anyone. They probably have or will have a business where they monetize that data for similar outcomes.
My point is that most employees at most startups are going to join after the earliest days, with option grants that will have exercise prices that entail a 4- or 5-figure outlay to exercise. Maybe this is just the east coast, but I've never worked at a company that makes loans to allow for early exercise. I'm not sure I know anyone who has had this situation. Even early exercise is relatively rare here.

This is days later, so not sure if you'll see this, but could you explain what QSBS has to do with it?

> I see that you have not kept up.

I have not (C++14 onwards was roughly where I started paying less attention), and that was partly my point. C++ has gone through dramatic change, and if I'm going to go through that dramatic change, I might as well do it with a language that has modern features and safety built in, and doesn't require extra boilerplate to do it.

Looking up the rule of zero, it seems there's still some debate about whether it's a good thing or not [0] (don't know if it's been resolved yet), and it still doesn't preclude you from knowing about the rule of 5 and the side-effects of declaring or not declaring certain operators/constructors/destructors.

> As the language gets more capable, the code you write gets simpler.

> I don't think that is happening in Rust.

This happens quite often in Rust, see for example error handling and the evolution of the ? operator, and the recent addition of async/await, and unlike c++, as the language gets more capable the changes required in terms of coding style and updating your mental model of how things work is usually not so dramatic.

I do know how the HN works. But I can't see who flagged it. So it's really a genuine question - I don't see anything about the site that is against the guidelines. And I'm trying to understand why whoever flagged it did so.
> why does the specific title matter?

My view is that there is a problem in academia where people in non tenured positions are being taken advantage of. However, most of these people do not actually have "postdoc" in their title. Positions with postdoc in the title are typically reserved for people who just received their PhD. It is fairly difficult to get a tenure track position directly from a PhD program, so (most) professors were (formally) a postdoc at some point in their career, and it is an important training step for applying for tenure track. (I hope this clarifies my above point, sorry if it was unclear).

WAL mode doesn't really have "read-only" connection (if you try to open a read-only connection by marking as READ_ONLY with sqlite_open_v2, it will error out for WAL mode). A "supposedly" read-only connection can end up doing writes for example, consolidating WAL log into the main DB file. That can cause SQLITE_BUSY errors. You pretty much have to set the sqlite_busy_timeout in any cases.
Pick up versus delivery is an option that you select in the UI. Literally while I was talking with the person at the restaurant, they gave all the orders to the pony to take away. The courier is working with the restaurant as far as I'm concerned; it's their outsourced delivery, not a freelancer working for me. The operation is tightly integrated: the restaurant gets the orders directly from the website and processes them. The yahoo who ran off with my meal sure wasn't delivering it to me; I never even entered my address into the system!
Of course it is. That's how people did redirection of stderr before threads and before dup2.

It so happens I’ve been thinking a lot about the debt analogy recently and decided that the simplest improvement is to think of it as an interest-only loan.

Sure, that balloon is just sitting there, but every single day you don’t pay it down, you are still paying interest. It slows you down when it causes confusion, when it makes integration more difficult, and when everyone is afraid to make improvements that might require changes to That Godforsaken Class.

And if instead of paying it down, you decide to add more debt, then the interest payments go up / the drag just gets worse.

And let’s be honest, arguing that tech debt is not bad comes up way more often over adding more than deciding not to start paying down.

You are right, this may have some use. Like you said, I worry about the potential of harm as well as effectiveness. I think it could be useful and plenty if it doesn't record conversations but simply notify parents or guardians immediately on predetermined triggers. Put it on a watch and strap it.

Parents have authority over their kids. There is potential to abuse and from what I have seen happen with smartphones has convinced me, any tech for kids need to be highly restrained in the use otherwise it will be abused for a replacement. Parents will start relying on it as the end and all solution. Add triggers for everything and snoop in instead of directly communicating and building trust. There is also context missing from short clips and it may appear a certain way while it isn't intended to be. I say lot of shit I wouldn't want others to hear including my parents. I will communicate about the same but in a more reasonable way if I feel comfortable. Some people can't take it calmly and I don't blame them, it will be hard to hear and emotional attachment could cloud judgement. It might signal guilt and stigma. If I knew someone was snooping in on the details, I would either stop talking about some things which I should ought to express more for others to take on or simply trash the device. In the later case, what if parents become convinced that the device is still working and they need not worry about anything?

You can try to restrict tech to certain parents but that's hard to do once it becomes mainstream. It's hard to restrict afterwards and build on human values for it to be not used as an armchair parenting device.

I have similar views. Porn is unavoidable in some form, no matter how hard you try when they hit teens. It will be shared by friends and while you can block things in your home, you can't do it for someone else's home. I wouldn't try to block it so I can al teast notice if there is anything unhealthy in there and talk.
