I don't think the military alone can sustain Intel's R&D division, which has proven to be lacking compared to the competition.
Good point. Almost as useful as saying "all you need to learn is Boolean algebra" when it comes to computing.

My wife and I went to Vegas to see Sigfried and Roy many years ago. We were seated in the theater when they announced that the show had been cancelled and we'd be getting refunds and free drinks. We tried again a few months later (we lived in LA at the time so Vegas was easy to get to) and the same thing happened again. We tried a third time and finally got lucky. It was worth the wait. What an amazing show! We were actually planning to go see it again when Roy had his tragic accident and the show closed for good. :-(

RIP S&R.
Or they could, you know, just respect the new license and publish their changes and part of their "secret sauce". I bet it would be anyway tightly coupled to other AWS internal services so nobody would get hurt in the process.

Edit: fixed typo
A company losing their moat isn't the prelude to death, it's market economy functioning like it's supposed to. If Intel can't handle the newly competitive environment, then they will get swallowed up, for sure. But I hope they hang around and put out great product for competitive prices, so we get to enjoy the competition for longer.

Now, let's take a sledgehammer to some other moats and make the rent seekers work a little for their profits.
The remarkable rift between Donald Trump and Mike Pence
What kills it for me is that buying a Tesla means tethering yourself to the company for everything. Parts, service, functionality, analytics and telemetry. I don’t want to have a relationship with the manufacturer of the goods I buy—I just want to buy the thing and have the ability to use and fix it without them always up my ass.
Don’t trust any recall study imo. I remember the stories where I used to work from a study on soy supplementation done on obese post-menopausal women. They would insist that all they ate that day was something like a half cup of green beans. The human mind is far too fallible and prone to deception for any meaningful thing to be gained from food memory.

I really only trust studies now where they supplement in a controlled environment and monitor all food intake. Not surprisingly these studies often show no benefit of the supplementation.
Since this thread is has a lot of note taking enthusiast, going to also suggest https://dendron.so;.

Dendron is a scalable note taking tool built on top of VSCode. It's similar to foam but focuses on a hybrid approach for managing notes notes with both roam styled back links and dendron’s very own hierarchy system. Dendron also helps users selectively publish any subset of your notes as a dendron style digital garden.

I think it's obvious that private companies should not be able to 'run themselves as they please'.

Also in my country landlords can't kick renters out if they disagree politically. I think that's a good thing. Maybe similar regulation should apply to infrastructure providers.
Misgendering a transperson intentionally. That might make you an asshole, but it isn't violent, and it isn't illegal.

This is what happened to that journalist from a year or two ago, who is a registered Democrat, feminist, etc.. Specifically she was talking about that transperson from Canada who wanted his - sorry, her - balls waxed.
Solidly agree on all points, just wanted to plug a podcast favorite of mine, Philosophize This!, for a less daunting introduction to McLuhan's ideas [1] than "go read a couple hundred pages of fairly dense media theory books."*

> I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Flemish people have a distinct English accent too

Yes! One thing I sometimes notice is that, in Flemish we pronounce "wat is" as "wadis", and sometimes Flemish people in English will also say "Whad is". So Flemish people end up saying "Whad is dat?" instead of "What is that?". (Also lots of "eh?"s and the occasional "allez" pop up.)

I really like my TicWatch Pro.
Obviously it's underpowered, has too little RAM and storage, and the GOOG badness makes me sad.

That said, it allows me to read my heart rate, reply to messages, have a customisable Linux terminal prompt tell the time/date, and store an SSH key for when I need it.

This is the peak, IMHO.

The next peak will be when it doesn't have teh GOOG OS.

Things move slowly, but I'm getting a PinePhone (just had the email about Brexit messing up shipping) because if we can help get a proper OS onto devices, we should.

Nothing should peak so early that it gets forgotten about for another "generation".
Just want to say that while the data science profession definitely includes a wide range of people and skillsets, a good data scientist should be practical and able to work with the available data in whatever state it's in.

No good data scientist should ever expect data to be pristine. And a good data scientist, even if they don't have quite the engineering chops necessary to build a production-quality ETL, should know enough about the process to help guide it. If they aren't a part of that process, they're not being a good DS. They can't expect someone not involved with their problem to know what tradeoffs to make, and if they don't know exactly how their data went from raw form to the ETL-ed form, they're probably going to make bad assumptions, and those assumptions may very well make their architected solution a complete pile of garbage. Not to mention, how can a DS offer suggestions for solutions if they aren't deeply familiar with the raw data that's available?

To me, a good data scientist should, at bare minimum, have several skills.

* They should first and foremost (but not solely) be an in house expert in statistics and machine learning to know what can be done with data, and what can't be done with data. They should arrive with that knowledge. Engineers I think have a tendency to trivialize this, but true expertise in this domain comes only with years of experience.

* They should strive to find modeling solutions that are right for a particular business problem. If they seem to be only applying the hottest research regardless of the tradeoffs for the particular business problem, that's a red flag.

* Their focus should be on integrating themselves with the product/business as much as possible, and with the engineering team as much as possible. If they're expecting to be handed directives, that's a recipe for a ton of wasted time.

DS should never, ever be siloed into their own little DS world. They will be useless without a deeply intimate knowledge of the business goals, the needs of product, and the capabilities of the engineering team.

As they progress, they should become more and more "full-stack", otherwise they are stagnating.

Working as intended. Until Facebook gets too much heat for it. Then they'll apologize while counting all the money they made off engagement and targeted ads relating to insurrection.
This is a horrible argument. Not only is is factually untrue on nearly every count, it's not even an accurate analogy, even if it were true.

You can't buy guns on Amazon for the same reason you can't buy tobacco, liquor, lottery tickets, or cars on Amazon. Because these are all things which are regulated by the government in such a way as to be incompatible with Amazon's logistics and purchasing setup and customer experience. You can buy all of those things online (except lottery tickets), but just not on Amazon. Since Amazon sells other alcoholic beverages, they're hardly taking a moral stance about the dangers of alcoholism. They sell tobacco accessories so they're hardly taking a moral stance against tobacco, they sell parts for cars so they're surely not against private vehicle ownership, and yes, they even sell tactical gear and gun accessories (although crucially not gun parts... any more).

The reason you can buy a set of knives on Amazon and not a Glock is that knives aren't regulated with more than 84000 conflicting laws between different state, county, and municipal jurisdictions across the US, including differing restrictions on transfer and shipping, and knives do not have federal regulations requiring background checks. Regardless of your personal opinion around private firearms ownership, you should surely be able to see that the analogy you've presented is patently absurd.
In many cases, what is needed isn't even more data engineers; it's data janitors.
I'm pretty sure I subconsciously try to use my software safely and as-intended cause I don't want to crash it. Obviously saying out loud I know this is dumb, but why would I want to break something I created?!

Ignoring your competitors is foolish
In that case, you're comparing the US, a country with extremely lax gun control laws and the resulting greatly increased threat to police safety, to countries with far more stringent gun control. I'm a homicide researcher in Chicago. There were over 4000 shootings and nearly 800 homicides in my city last year, and I've seen footage from a lot of them, including a lot of completely justified police shootings. Calling officers "trigger-happy thugs" ignores the reality of policing in a country where the frequency of encountering someone carrying a firearm is so high.

That being said, somehow the Newark Police Department(in Newark, New Jersey's biggest city, and about 50 homicides per year) went all of 2020 without any of any officers firing a single shot (outside of training and firearm qualification contexts, I assume) [0].

Yes, they don't teach you the "on a...", "faire le truc avec...", "ouais" and "ca marche" at school, altough everyone uses this. I just wish schools would prepare you a little better for the difference between writing and speaking. My daughter learned to say "chouette, c'est jolie!" in her french class, which is preposterous and almost akin to saying 'Jolly gay, old chap!' in English today.
Sure, but medicine differs from politics. Just b/c we have the mains to fairly consistently regulate one based on scientific consensus (and associated power-politics) doesn't mean it applies to all.

On that note: would you consider the decision-making process of the supreme court to be "scientific"? as opposed to, say, the FDA. If so, why, or why not?
The FBI and DoJ working together isn’t hard to imagine.
WoW and D&D 4e pretty much changed public perception, at least for people under a certain age (now 40ish), with regard to RPGs in general. That was when the frat guys at universities started playing D&D. That would be the equivalent of the high school jocks slinging dice between drills. Paired with the explosion in tabletop board gaming in the US (thanks Settlers of Catan) that's happened this century, it's become cool/normal to be into these kinds of things.
I'd argue that the Nazis are responsible for the loss of lives. Knifes can be murder weapons, we don't ban all knifes.

The problem with banning problematic books, is you then establish problematic books can be banned. Once the precedent is established, it creates an additional attack vector on freedom of expression - any attempt at censorship will begin with an attempt at portraying something as problematic/harmful, and liberties will be taken with all variable definitions. Consider "hate speech" is one of few exceptions to the freedom of expression, so now people redefine all kinds of things they dislike as hateful for the purpose of social control.
I disagree that STEM fields don't pay any better. I think it's clear they do.

My suggestion is to not indulge in any content moderation which is not illegal. Only take down content which is required by a court order. Limit use of automated content moderation only for easy to solve cases like child pornography.

Why?

It is fairly clear at this point that content moderation at internet scale is not possible. Why? A. Using other users to flag dangerous content is not working. Which users do you trust to bestow this power with? How do remove this power from them? How do you control it becoming a digital lynch mob? Can you have users across political, gender, other dimensions All mostly not solvable problems.

B. Is it possible to use machine learning? To some extent. But any machine learning algorithm will have inherent bias, because test data will also be produced by biased individuals. Also people will eventually figure out how to get around those algorithms as well.

The causality between content published on the internet and action in real world is not immediate. It is not like someone is sitting in a crowded place and shouting fire causing a stampede. As there is a sufficient delay between speech and action, we can say that the medium the speech is published in is not the primary cause of the action, even if there is link. Chances of direct linkage are fairly rare and police/law should be able to deal with those.

Content moderation, at least the way Twitter has been trying to do, has not been effective, created lot of ways for mobs to enforce censorship, and there is absolutely no real word positive impact of this censorship is. Only use of this moderation and censorship has been for right to claim victimhood and gain more viewer/readership to be honest.
> with people who have no experience with the “science” part

It's interesting that you put it that way because a lot of the other complaints in this thread are that the people who expect their data to be ready for use are exactly the people with science experience but without the relevant technical background.
> Basically 2010-2018 was an open field for ML/DL research with old(ish) methods being rapidly applied to low hanging fruit and large datasets with newly cheap compute.

Absolutely! And what many folks need to continue to remember is that many scientific disciplines and domains are really just starting to wrestle with the utility and implications of this first generation of deep learning tools and applications. I graduated with my PhD in atmospheric science from an R1 just over 4 years ago; at that time, very few people were looking at how DL provided useful tools for their work. These days, the field is inundated with folks playing with these tools and knocking tons of low-hanging fruit off the tree - it might not be "deep", revolutionary research, but it's fomenting a mini-revolution with respect to R2O and real applications of what had previously been somewhat niche science.

There's no reason to think this trend won't continue. New tools let new generations of scientists take new stabs at their discipline, and of course the low-hanging fruit drops first as folks get their bearing, build skills/experience, and - most importantly - prove efficacy so that they can get funding for more ambitious work.

> I would look for a position as a lateral hire in MBB tech consulting e.g. McKinsey Digital or BCG Platinion.

The type of job I was looking at does the same thing as the MBB. But it is a small company. With smaller company there will be opportunity to learn more and grow faster. Also it might be relatively easy to get in as I do not have experience in consulting or as an analyst.
Incitement to terrorism isn't something where failing to moderate perfectly should be tolerated.

There is already a zero-tolerance approach to numerous extremist groups, regardless of whether they are active on American soil or not. Why should this be treated any differently?
This is a correlational study. So there is no causal link, there is a correlational association. I think the term "link" needs to be banned in this context. "associated" would be much clearer. Maybe the Hacker News mods could change the headline posted here.

It's worth noting that Vitamin E supplementation is declining in the US, probably because several studies on its supplementation have not shown benefit (or shown harm). [1]

The primary understood role of Vitamin E is as a fat soluble anti-oxidant, and that is primarily to stop PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) oxidation. Most sources of PUFA come with Vitamin E, so this often works itself out in the diet. But cooking at higher temperature can destroy vitamin E. The Institute of Medicine didn't express the RDA as a ratio between vitamin E and PUFA, but they wrote that "high PUFA intakes should certainly be accompanied by increased vitamin E intakes." [2]

A natural source of vitamin E that is low in PUFA is red palm oil. But another way of dealing with vitamin E status is to avoid most vegetable oils and thus lower PUFA intake.

Vitamin C seems a more straightforward supplement, but even for that I avoid Vitamin C supplementation after exercise due to its potential inhibition of mitohormesis. [3]

My Father In Law gave me this advice: Take a little bit of your investments, something small that you can stand to lose, and put it in a couple companies that you like, just to make the investing a little bit fun.

I did that with Tesla a while ago, I'm not sure I'd invest right now. But I'm also not looking to sell right now.

The reason I picked Tesla is that they are way more than just a car company. They are a renewable energy company at a time when we are at an inflection point in renewable energy. I've been downvoted before for saying that, but I don't see Tesla as a car company and that's why I invested and why I think it's a mistake to compare their valuation to other car companies.

Tesla is involved in: Cars, solar panels, solar generation, a huge charger network, batteries, residential energy systems, and industrial energy systems.

Is it all down-side as OP speculated? Only time will tell, of course, some targets are putting it at market cap halving over the next 5-7 years. The most optimistic are putting it at quadrupling. Most estimates seem to think that there's room to go up.
> The context is not government censorship. It's people censoring each other.

Actually if you read the source, it clearly is about government control (i.e. control by the active interference of mankind): https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:On_Liberty_(4th_Edition)...

The sentence preceding the one you quoted is:

> Acts, of whatever kind, which, without justifiable cause, do harm to others, may be, and in the more important cases absolutely require to be, controlled by the unfavourable sentiments, and, when needful, by the active interference of mankind.

The problem is that "nuisance" here is not considered to include speech. The whole section this is in is about how "human beings should be free to form opinions, and to express their opinions without reserve;"

And if you read further you will recognize this is not predicated on the speech being true.
