It depends on the university and the department, something that is lost on a lot of undergrads picking a school.

Perhaps I'm old-school, but IMHO (as someone with a PhD), the obligation to teach comes with the advanced degree/advanced knowledge. You were trained to know more about this subject than most other people in the world, therefore part of your job (whether paid or not) is to teach others in some way.

It's true, most transactions that involve USD are done with paper money in Venezuela (which is why I mentioned I used BTC when it wasn't physically feasible to transact because coming by such paper money is not straightforward) but when it comes to electronic solutions it's a constant cat-and-mouse game. You mention Zelle which was up until very recently [0] the most used option, but people are now seeking alternatives- cryptocurrency just being one of them- and I ought to clarify that not everybody has a trusty acquaintance/family member with an US-based bank account (or a bank account themselves) to use these solutions.

That is an interested blog post!

However, I've used Spotify since 2014 and still experienced the same Shuffle behavior. Strange, perhaps I'm looking for it now, and introducing some sort of bias.

It is interesting, however, that a music playlist company took so long to realize people wouldn't like their original Shuffle implementation. I don't think any device or software I used before Spotify had such a remarkably bad Shuffle experience - including the original iPods and other, much older software and devices.
Right, but I’m sure someone would just recompile Linux with the right page size :) And I guess I’ll figure out what magic the DTK is doing to make 4K pages work once it arrives.
No, this is just a different topic. What I brought up was an example of good response to a cyber threat. You bring up some bad things, be it old or new it does not matter, it still is a different topic.

My point was to illustrate what I call a good response. The bad ones just illustrate the bad responses, that's all. Good for contrasting, maybe. But the way you bring it does not seem to make clear anything, to the contrary. And it is not even remotely about "cyber" anything, nor about journalism or the right to know the truth about anything. And for contrasting we already have the example at hand, the case of Julian Assange!

So I really don't understand your point.

Sounds like you hate France and you disliked that I used a French example as a good response to a cyber threat. I don't know why you want so much to avoid giving a nice role to France, personally I don't care, but I am a positive person, so I'd like you to find a good response example by an other country (easy, there are plenty) to balance my comment, instead of balancing it trying to find a bad cyber-response from France (which you failed to do).

Also, the world was hardly as transparent as today. No social media, hardly any internet, newspapers in different languages but few people knowing anything else than their mother tongue...

Years after, there was investigation by news agencies in France about the Rainbow Warrior tragedy. The government did not throw them in jail! So that, too, is really different from the Assange case.
They have exactly that problem, but it didn't stop dozens of American cities being built with them.
I preceded my reasoning by stating that there wasn't good data; I'm not sure why you point that out as if it were some new development. In the lack of good data, logical reasoning is the only framework for generating a hypothesis. Am I wrong about that? Other than a priori reasoning, what should I have used; the same style of baseless claims that you make?

And if I was generalizing across an entire profession, I clearly did NOT state that the entire population of police is rampant with abuse. I extrapolated from well known understandings in economics that people who are attracted to the incentives provided by being a police officer indicate that some police officers will be amoral bullies who take pleasure in wielding unmitigated power over people, while others will be those who take pleasure in helping people and upholding the law. Feel free to reread my comments completely.

You still have provided no logical reasoning for your conclusions. I'd really like to hear why you think what you think.

> A cursory search tells me there's around 1 million law enforcement officers in the US. Like all conspiracy theories - what are the chances there's widespread and indefensible corruption such that all of them are complicit but very little ever leaks?

What are the chances that people who have immense power and immense protection from legal action will become corrupt? Quite high really.

Is your argument at this point summed up as "they haven't been caught misbehaving at scale, so let's generalize their entire profession with the benefit of the doubt"?
Absolutely. Life is luck, starting from where you are born and who your parents are.
As I said, it's fair to call it obscure. But calling it secretive is just sensationalist.
Of course it depends on which troubled population. For rural white poor people all their problems are framed as being from external uncontrollable pressures – they're losing jobs because of globalization, they're in an opioid epidemic because of pharma. Their struggles are not just dismissed as personal responsibility failures.

> The Renaissance happened in Europe. What non-white voices are you adding to that?

This is a perfect example. People respond to even basic expansion of viewpoints with incredulity.

First, I mentioned women. Gender analysis in mainstream history academia has developed a lot over the last 30 years. "There weren't any women" doesn't pass even a casual glance like "there weren't any poc" does for a renaissance course.

Second, although white voices are obviously the dominant voices of the renaissance, it is important to understand that cross-national communication networks existed during the early-modern era. The story of the introduction of coffee to europe is a classic one where analysis has traditionally focused on the europeans involved but this failed to consider that both sides of the trade were essential to the story. Since it is the renaissance, obviously art and architecture play a huge role. But art and architecture travel between nations and you can't tell the full story of european renaissance art without considering the turks (and others).
That's interesting, but may not apply to the difference between military and police. My impression, confirmed by a family member who was in the army, is that soldiers are typically cynical about the military as an institution, and their loyalty is to fellow soldiers in their unit. It may in fact be typical of people in any large organization that their loyalty is to their team and not the institution. We're tribal creatures that way. And being subject to danger together strengthens bonding.
Nah, Adobe killed it.
Oh, huh, I’ll have to look into that. I’ve often had the need to grab old installers…
I hope you see the difference between people not being able to trust law enforcement and not being able to trust gangsters.

This crime is in many ways the result of the violence of the police which means other citizens are afraid to call and cooperate with the police. Exactly what you need to reduce this crime.

Similar stuff happened in Iraq. When civilians could not trust the American occupying force then militias and terrorists filled the power vacuum.

Hannah Fry's book, "Hello World: How to be Human in the Age of the Machine" explores this topic in a balanced and thoughtful way. Of course algorithms aren't perfect, but they are definitely useful tools that should be combined with human expertise.

> humans do a far better job at real-world operations

The book points to several examples (specifically in law enforcement and criminal justice) where common sense tells us this is true ("humans do a far better job"), but statistics show otherwise. Human judgement is helpful to a degree, but without tools like these algorithms provide, it's actually far worse, and subject to all kinds of biases.

The question is, if a particular area statistically has more crime, does it really matter whether it's a human or an algorithm making the judgement to send officers there more often? I know it's taboo to talk about (at least in the past few weeks), but police presence overwhelmingly helps reduce crime, so lets be smart about how, when, and where to deploy more law enforcement. Let's use data-based tools to help inform our decisions, but let's also use human judgement to understand where those tools might fall short and act accordingly. In large part, that comes down to having data experts audit the tools and educate those who use them of their shortcomings.

As someone who owns a Tesla, I think a lot of people want level 3 even if they don't realize it. Obviously if level 4 was available, people would go for it, but perfect is the enemy of good, and even with Tesla's L2 technology, it makes driving significantly easier. Continuously being ready to take over control vs controlling is a huge leap already.
I can’t speak for how it worked in the past, but AWS and Amazon are run as two separate companies. AWS treats Amazon Retail just like any other customer and Amazon treats AWS like a third party vendor as far as choosing whether to adopt an AWS technology.

Thanks for the summary. I was not able to see any additional text in the house bill so I was confused what to glean.

300M/year is not going to dig us out of this hole. Intel's R&D budget is 10 times that per quarter [1], and that apparently doesn't even get you #1 in process leadership. In my opinion, the real problem is that semiconductors is no longer an attractive field for the best and brightest Americans. They realized they can go into software engineering and, as a new grad, make more as a BS than a semiconductor PhD. Unfortunately, national security doesn't dictate market wages, so I expect the U.S. to fall further behind unless they find a way to lower software wages, which perhaps ironically they're doing the opposite of with the H1B freeze.

Given how police as an institution is failing, I wonder if there is a way to "reboot the system" (#RebootThePolice?) in a way that prevent bad culture to reproduce within.

Like building a new corps of police ("NeoPolice") alongside existing police with same responsibilities, but with a more stringent process on recruiting, training, internal culture, values, etc. And have it slowly supplement the old, dysfunctional police.

Some rationale:
- When something is really broken, non amount of repair can fix it, you need a new thing. Shifting some policing responsibilities to other institutions (eg Defund the Police) might reduce the negative impact of a failing institution, but doesn't fix it.
- We need a transition plan if we defund/abolish the police, and so far there is none to replace the police core responsibilities (around the use of force)
- New competition drives innovation, and having a new police force can shine the line on how much better our experience of the product can be, driving further change.

It'll require strong, sustained leadership to build those institutions from scratch which will be difficult, given how police is mostly a local institution and the resulting outcome can vary greatly.

"It is really just fundamentally terrifying" -from TFA.

Yes, yes it is.

Those handling data like this, from whatever source, need much tighter regulation, since they are unable to regulate themselves.
Are they actually focusing on problematic areas or just areas that they previously focused on? Wherever the most police resources are spent, you will have the most crime. That then justifies spending more resources there. The algorithm may not be racist, but it is guaranteed to perpetuate our objectively racist policing of the past.
If your opinion is that female and poc voices are "low quality" then I don't know what to say...

This isn't adding voices for the sake of it. This is adding voices because those voices are an essential part of historical understanding and history suffers if you exclude them.
I think the purpose of movies and stories is to make these events relatable. You're supposed to draw parallels. You don't have to show a black person to convince white people that minorities are being repressed. In fact, it is probably more convincing if on screen you are showing white people being oppressed because then they are going to more identify with that character. Of course, we are supposed to analyze these stories and find what they are trying to tell us. They aren't always so much "here's the entire problem, why you should care, and every little nuance" but rather "this is a problem." It often serves as a stepping stone for people to learn and start to care. To see things that they didn't see before because a story can give you a glimpse into what it is like living in someone's shoes. I wouldn't bash a story for not being able to compact what requires dozens of hours of research into an entertain-able bite size chunk. Stories serve different purposes from documentaries which serve different purposes from literature and news.
Everyone does something criminal from time to time. Policing A more than B will lead to more arrests at place A, increasing their crime statistics, leading to more policing ...

For example drug use is about equal between white and black Americans, but since black people are more strictly policed (more frequent in traffic stops etc) they are arrested and sentenced for drug use far more often than white Americans. [0]

I was recently reviewing Lucene concepts and found this video really good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5RmMNDR5XI

Also this site has a series of Lucene articles that are pretty nice. The one on Term Vectors in particular:
http://makble.com/what-is-term-vector-in-lucene

Based on some quick research it seems like Lucene is already using a sorted skip data structure for the posting list, so I wonder why they had to do a custom implementation? Perhaps it has to do with their custom Document ID scheme and how they want to preserve order in the Posting List being different from the default behavior. It also sounds like searchers are searching on indexes as they're being written, and there is some custom coordination around visibility, which might require diverging from Lucene default behavior.

Either way, pretty impressive!
You responded to a reasonable argument based on understandings of incentive with:

No argument, but references to the Illuminati and assassinations. Not a whole lot of credibility to stand on, and definitely no reasonable discussion.

I have, it's the main topic I study. I've just never met anyone with the view that increased incarcerations rates are not associated with decreases in crime (specifically, violent crime), and I don't think the data supports that either. I literally have no idea how you came to that conclusion given the stats available to researchers over the last 40 years.

I'm not suggesting that there aren't other ways to decrease crime besides incarceration, there are many possibilities. But I don't think there's any data showing that incarcerating criminals doesn't reduce (violent) crime.

So I'll just assume we agree in general, and that our definitions are different somehow, since we seem to be looking at the same datasets.
It's not violence and police that are killing them where I live. It's drugs. I'm not saying the jail system is the solution, but let's not kid ourselves about what's going on.

So, right now is a terrible time for this logic given we live in an oligarchy with very little representation, but if we lived in an actual functional government, services like this seem like they should be socialized.

I don't want 3 different sewage companies ripping up my block to put in 3 different sewage lines. Similarly, I don't want a bunch of different internet providers having to do that.

This makes it sound like the elastic deformation at the bottom balances out the forces that are pushing the mountain up. But we know that this is currently not the case, because we observe the Himalayas getting several centimeters taller each year. (For the same reason, we know that gradual erosion can't be enough to counteract the growth.)

Hence my assumption that the process of the mountains growing must be reset in a catastrophic manner from time to time. I guess the stresses build up somewhere until an apocalyptic earthquake happens that takes down entire mountains, rather than a gradual toothpaste-like deformation.
Ok thanks for the clarification. I ll definitely look out to use your service.
> where crime is more likely

This is the fundamental disconnect in your argument, because historical recorded arrest rates are not necessarily reflective of actual crime rates.
> Given how police as an institution is failing

I don't think we can consider "police" as a single institution, or in isolation. The character of the police in a particular locality depends on the local government of that locality. If the police are corrupt, it is because the local government is corrupt. That is going to vary widely from locality to locality, and fixing it cannot be a matter of simply changing the police alone; it has to be a matter of changing the local government.
