> where authors can optionally submit the data and code that go along with their work.

So cool. I wish there were more steps in this direction.

> Should these be mandatory?

As an outsider, I would say no. However that should have a detrimental effect on the ability to get published if you are from an academic institution. I can totally see a gray area when it comes to non-academic publishers.

> There's also the question of what code should be made public

Shouldn't it be as much as possible? The way I see it is that the easier to replicate a paper, the more people can focus on its true utility. That is, by abstracting ourselves away over the details of the paper, what does this really contribute? From my point of view, publishing as much as possible maximizes the real-world impact of the research.
What Is Gain-of-Function Research?
Science involves a lot of risks but we don’t reward negative results, lessons learned from methodology problems, or failed reproductions except in rare studies. These issues come up all the time and many resort to tactics in the article to keep their funding / graduation plan alive.
FedEx is bimodal: they have "real" FedEx like Tom Hanks in that movie, and then they have contract drivers who bid for delivery routes on a short term basis and are not FedEx employees.
Same. After getting clearly-open-box (used? counterfeit? returned?) Makita batteries on Amazon I only buy tools from Home Depot, only buy camera equipment from B&H, etc. No more pricey tools or electronics from Amazon, or food for that matter (years ago, bought box of protein bars, came expired!)
I’m a bit baffled why were treating “cancel culture” as one, monolithic thing, when it’s pretty clear that each case is a bit different.

Someone losing their job for having a public melt down is not the same as a celebrity getting criticized, and that’s not the same as someone clearly losing some sort of nasty office politics war. Treating this as a monolithic block is silly.
> “ Not everything can be classified into neat " X is a Y" relationships.”

I’m with you on skepticism of the x-is-y relationship; however, I read the comment as comparing math versus computing academics.

Then, the so-what answer would be informative for the neophyte or youth who is interested In computing but struggles with mathematics instruction. Right? That’s a real thing in education.

In fact I find this to be the principal benefit of online MOOC courses. You can compare styles of instruction, and pedagogy from major universities from across the US (and internationally).
The way The West "takes on" a country will not work with China and I'll take a bet any day that the west cannot change its way and take on China in new functioning ways. Using the old tried and true ways we have used against everything from African rebel leaders to South American democratically elected presidents is helping CCP internally in PRC, not hurting it. It's as clear as day and reminds me of the old "Do you know the definition of insanity" quote. Either we work with China and try to influence in positive ways or we won't make any (positive) difference. Don't take on China, work with China, period. Its way too late now unless we go for full scale war or treat China as we do North Korea. The road we are on now only leads to China becoming the new top dog above the US. Change or become irrelevant.
Well, I recently was permanently suspended on Reddit, but I've been unable to determine why (also, no previous announcement).

I haven't been permanently banned from any subreddit (no message in my 14 year old history indicated this)... but I've been unable to get any human to tell me what exactly I did was against the Reddit Content Policy.

The curious thing for me was that my alt account (the one I use to try to have some semblance of free speech) was also permanently suspended.

This, to me, felt like I may have been censored in some way (though I really don't know the motive; maybe I was too outspoken against an oppressive government?).

It certainly has had a chilling effect on my online activity.
This kind of reaction to calls for coronavirus origin investigation does not seem like the choice made by the innocent.
> any other requirements are purely made up.

Protection from the government punishing you over political speech is "purely made up" as well. All laws in all countries are "purely made up", humans made them so.
This is the best advice I've seen offered in the thread.
This is only half correct. Until Mr. Xi came to power, China was getting wealthier and (somewhat) more open. Since ~2010 China is becoming more closed and more aggressive. See for example Xinjiang, Hongkong and Taiwan.

1938's Germany was also much worse than 1934's Germany. So it is no point of saying, well, you did not complain about Hitler in 1934, so no right to complain about him in 1938.

Another geek datapoint: I travel to China often, and every year it gets harder and harder to access outside websites (yes, even with proxies).
These discussions remind me of how there's a years long delay before these ideas first reach boards like HN and then popular magazines and the taxi driver.

Yes, code releasing is a big talking point and most major groups release code. It doesn't solve the subtler problems,like claiming 1% improvements as a solid contribution, unequal hyperparameter tuning, cherry picking datasets, overclaiming the novelty, salami publishing, lacking ablations, not comparing against better methods etc etc. Releasing code is a step but not a panacea. At least it partially protects against fully made up numbers which is not nothing, but it's just scratching the surface. In many cases the code is not so easy to use and the original authors may not be willing to help you with reproducing it, ignoring emails and GitHub issues. If you can't reproduce it, they can always claim something. In one case I was told they rewrote the codebase in a new framework since they generated the results in the paper and there may be small discrepancies due to that. Apparently that was enough change that they were no longer the best in the benchmark comparison. But nobody cares at this point, the paper was published, they are on to their next project. People also have the attitude that it doesn't matter anymore, the field has moved on already, a retraction doesn't change much just hurts the author and the group. The vast majority of papers isn't used anywhere actually in practice, the field is moving so fast that any method can only remain on top for a couple of months.

Also, I don't think AI really is worse at this. It's rather that we are more open about it because we have less to lose and professors don't have an iron grip, due to the existence of industry. In some of academia your whole future depends on whose ass you kiss, it's better in CS. It's a bit like sexism accusations directed at nerds, as if they particularly bad.

The molochian cancer is everywhere. The less you see it may just indicate its more effectively hidden.

Biden budget: President sets out $6tn spending plan
There’s a reason they’re negotiating rate with you whereby they want to hire but could also have another they’re negotiating with in parallel. It depends on the value of the position to you. Sometimes they have a budget to fund the position so they genuinely can’t meet your request. But if they’re close to your number they can often figure a way to make it work.
ha, what about products that made by machines that are "made in China"?
Amazon should be payi g for the free service it is taking from users. Just like google did with Google captcha.

I can't understand why people seem to be missing this. Make it optin and give people credit for providing this service to amazon. Seriously,the lack of these two make this whole thing so shady and duplicitous

Amazon makes billions upon billions. They could have easily paid the cost to roll this out.

Streaming is not owning. Buying a cheap device as a service is not owning. This is why the companies are fighting right to repair. And they don't care about long lived open standards.

This is privacy and ownership infriginjng.

He appears to reference a Japanese cultural principle called 反省 which means something like "self-reflection". I believe he means that in Japan people do not return things often, they take the blame and learn from their mistake.
Employment laws being overbearing, hiring a script reader may be practically illegal (“living wage”, mandatory health care, ... I just need some words read).
Imagine you start a company and one of your employees says or does something reprehensible. Investors fear a boycott and threaten to pull out of a fundraising round. You either fire that one person, or the whole company goes under and everyone that works for you could lose their job (including you).

If you make it illegal to fire that person, then any one employee could do considerable damage to dozens of other people and you'll have no recourse.

It seems like a better system would be one where everyone is responsible for their own behavior.
Publishing the code may not be enough. Part of the problem is that replication of a study isn’t usually rewarded in the academic sphere because of the obsession with novelty within publications. Most researchers want to spend their finite time on something they find interesting and also may help their career. One way may be to create a movement to foster good replication studies that can be published and rewarded.
I think Gerrit does most/all of this, like kb shortcuts, saving drafts and posting comments in a batch.
I really doubt people are running embarassingly parallel codes on NERSC supercomputers. I was a PI at NERSC and I was told explicitly, repeatedly, I couldn't do that. That's why I moved to Open Science Grid, and eventually Google's compute platform.

Nope, tape is just useless. Live but cold hard drives.
While true, I'd say a lot of people just won't even bother. I've seen people refuse to download whole books because they needed to put in email.

"You can create a 10-minute email" you say. True, and a lot of people do while also a lot of people simply don't want the book that much.
That doesn't matter. I don't get paid for providing a service to amazon for free. So they can get another billions in tax credits to fund Jeff Bezos' pet projects.
Keeping test data private is good practice actually. It keeps from hyperparameter optimization on the test set. Yes theoretically the dataset authors might still do it, but it's still better for the field as a whole to keep some test data secret and only use it for evaluation.

Registering before getting data is common, so they can make you agree to some terms. It's not suspicious in itself.

There are no hard and fast rules of thumb. You can look at the group, the people involved, the country, the writing style, the quality and thoroughness of ablation, is there code available etc. But nothing is 100%.
Are people in poor countries likely to own a lot of Amazon devices?
Others gave you good advice. But you need to speak with a dentist and see if your teeth are in good health.

Some things I’ve tried that will help:

* Fitted mouth guard (splint). This reduces tooth wear and muscle pain

* Optirinse fluoride rinse. You can use this every day to reduce sensitivity

* Sensodyn with novamin. Remineralizes

* Face massage. I actually had a lot of tooth pain that was just referred pain. I grinded, my jaw tightened, this muscle tension hurt my teeth. When I pressed certain areas in my jaw and relaxed the muscle I felt the pain trigger, then dissipate. Some professional massage got rid of it fully.

>There is the family of Lisps, Smalltalks and friends, where the system is live and you can set variables to values whenever you wish. The problem there tends to be isolation of speculation. I don't want my what-ifs to turn into has-becomes. "What if X is 33?"... OK done and now the computer shall never forget. I want all speculation to fly in a transient layer above the existing stable codebase.

Is this a real issue? Don’t you just need 2 copies of the code base, and terminate your 2nd copy to make it “transient”?
In a weird way I think cancel culture/doxxing/call out culture has given a massive boost to privacy awareness at least for people who aren't in highly visible jobs.

Over the past couple of years but especially 2020 I've had more non-tech family members, friends and friends of friends ask me for advice on preserving their privacy and anonymity and political speech seems to usually be in the top 5 reasons when I ask them.
Thats a super cynical take. I would say what you said is def is a part of it but society now is more aware of these issues and more willing to take these on. Intially i think the expectation was that china would westernize and adopt our rulesets gradually but thats hasn't come to fruition.
One big problem in our society is that there is a Darwinian selection process occurring which selects for psychopathy. It's only going to get worse.

Psycopaths are attracted to power and are willing to do anything for it so they are more likely to get it. Power comes with money. Money allow psychopaths to have more children. The children are more likely to be psychopaths too so they will also end up in positions of power with more money. As automation increases, the system can afford to support an increasing number of psychopaths and they quickly take up all available positions of power via ruthless means. Psychopaths end up occupying all the important political and judicial positions. Altruistic people who follow the rules can't afford to compete in the market place, they have fewer children, they are discriminated against by psychopaths who recognize that they are different from themselves. Altruists become extinct as they are slowly replaced by machines which make altruism a redundant character trait; not necessary for a 'functioning' society. Now that we have machines to automate everything, the economy will no longer rely on 'exploitees' to do the hard value-adding work.

Then a whole new class of ultra-psychopaths (e.g. serial killers) will become more common and proceed to wipe out the regular psycopaths through violent means. Humans will get progressively worse and end up driving themselves to extinction. There's not going to be any robot uprising; humans will make themselves extinct before that happens.
Early stuff is pretty easy to remember and curriculums exist for home schools. Tutoring communities have formed, too.
This is what happens when you try and design/build on the run. This is why you don't "agile" construction.[1]

A few things to note that aren't usually apparent in these articles. The "Podium" is not just the beautiful concrete walls you see holding the sails; Bellow the deck is around 3-4 stories of equipment and services (some below sea level) that serve the theaters, offices, back of house etc. that extend past the footprint of the podium, out to the edge of the quay in some places. An incredible warren of equipment rooms and tunnels crammed into a space that was probably too small for the final requirements. This is including a large seawater intake system that is used in water heating and cooling, the only one of it's type. I had the privilege of consulting there many years ago and was shown around. It was immense, you could easily get lost.

All services you would normally expect to see on a building exterior are hidden from view, no plant, no equipment. Where's the HVAC? The Loading docks? Car-park (under the stairs)? Heck, even the garbage was designed to be picked up by trucks driving through the center of the podium loading dock.

Due to the number of design decision made on site during construction there are no as-built drawings (that may have changed in the last 10 years). If you were down there drilling a hole through one wall, it was almost impossible to know exactly where it was going to come out on the other side.

In spite of all it's obstacles, latent acoustic issues etc. it is still a one of a kind marvel of modern architecture with no competitor. Utzon and Arup were true geniuses, innovators and visionaries.

Nothing gives Amazon permission to run a service free of cost on your premises and then make money off that.

You(not you the poster, but generic you) are providing free money to amazon and Bezos' pet projects by defending Amazon and buying Alexa.
Thirty dollars per hour is a really good wage in a lot of countries where the cost of living is much lower. Nobody is making OP work for the company that they’re interviewing for.

Also, would we be complaining if the company opened up an office in the OP’s home country and offered the same wage? There are companies that are location agnostic as well when it comes to salary which the OP could be interviewing for.
I expected comments like these. You can't avoid everything, as nearly everything has been outsourced to be manufactured there. But sure we can stop buying useless crap sold at Kmart/Target etc. May be buy clothes made in our own countries. There are still people who do that. May be a little more expensive but more incentive to buy less and support local as well as help the environment. To answer the "phone" question, it's made in Taiwan!

It's more the fact that academia is granted a greater degree of leniency because it is fundamentally something that is societally required for innovations to take place. Genuine ingenuity requires room to flourish, so in the West at least, the theory is you leave tge Boffins alone to do their wizardry.

The part I don't understand is how extorting the students to fund bloated Administrative processes, sport teams, stadiums, and executive staff ever became a thing, nevermind the incestuous relationship with academic publishing. Almost all great work I've seen came not out of gnashing of teeth and publish or perish, but out of a labor of love or an odd obsession with truly understanding something until you could practically get it across to a 5th grader.

There are Xylitol sprays also, advertised for moisturizing a dry mouth. Spray, swish, and spit it out and little will reach your intestinal microbiome. Best done right before a time when you won't be eating or drinking so the residue has some time to act on the bacteria on the teeth (e.g., right before a shower or before bed).
It’s fairly obvious from the context that we’re talking about the American tradition of free speech, and the jurisprudence around it. So in this case “made up” means “there is no case law to support your assertion about how the principle of free speech should work in American law”. I find an attempt to assert that all laws are made up kind of lazy side stepping of bother the issue at hand and kind of annoying.

Furthermore, even if one just decides to YOLO a few centuries of American jurisprudence on the matter, one will quickly find oneself either advocating for authoritarianism, or recreating our existing speech system from scratch. Those are the only two logical outcomes that can come from an assertion that one parties speech should be suppressed in order to “protect” (promote, imho) the speech of another group.

What is the price?
While I would agree that a Computer Science degree doesn't necessarily teach you a whole lot about Software Engineering (i.e. little-to-no time spent on version control, continuous integration, unit testing, microservice architecture, deployment, requirements gathering, data security, etc), it did give me a broad exposure to the different types of work that could be out there for programming, which would be a lot harder to do in the job market (i.e. no one is going to look at my web/game development history and go 'Yeah, this guy would be a good person to hire to work on our operating system!')

I learned about making Operating Systems, Compilers, 3D Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, TCP/IP Networking, Databases, low-level Assembly programming, and how computers work at a hardware logic gate level, to name a few. And they offered other courses as well, these are just what I picked from the offerings.

Yeah, there was the standard Data Structures and Algorithms class (which in the business world is now not much more than a 'you better know/refresh this if you want to get through our interviews' class) and one class that was about Automata theory, which my teacher would claim 'is the only real computer science class at this school' which was all mathematical proofs, but it still helps you understand regular expressions better, at least it did for me.

But most of the classes I took would have had practical applications in the workforce, for different types of jobs. But really isn't that pretty much any undergraduate major? The classes you take aren't all going to be directly relevant to your particular path through the field, it's more about exposure to different possibilities and providing a broad base of knowledge to build from.
> Good example is number theory, which philosophically considers all natural numbers, regardless of size, to be equal type of objects. In computer science, the (although fuzzy) magnitude of numbers plays much bigger role.

Somewhat similarly, I have a degree in number theory / modal logic systems that was issued by the philosophy department at my university. The concepts are similar to a CS degree except you get really good at describing the problem because philosophy degrees usually involve a lot of writing.
