> Yet, from the start, a small number of entrepreneurs, like Thiel, made an end run around the rules: Open a Roth with $2,000 or less. Get a sweetheart deal to buy a stake in a startup that has a good chance of one day exploding in value. Pay just fractions of a penny per share, a price low enough to buy huge numbers of shares. Watch as all the gains on that stock — no matter how giant — are shielded from taxes forever, as long as the IRA remains untouched until age 59 and a half. Then use the proceeds, still inside the Roth, to make other investments.
As remote becomes more normal, I bet "scientific consensus" will shift to favoring it as well. Funny how the science follows the status quo ;)
It's not clear to me that "anti-virus" was a contribution.

For years the only anti-virus product that wasn't worse than the virus was Kaspersky and since things went south with Russia that's been indefensible.

> "De-identified data isn’t"

People don't yet have intuition about this. I still don't even know how to articulate it. Here's a stab:

"With enough data collected, you can uniquely identify people by ruling out everyone else."

Mid 2000s, Seisent was helping law enforcement solve cold cases using big data. In layperson's terms, they'd narrow the list of suspects by ruling out everyone who has a solid alibi.

At the time, that was achieved by building profiles of everyone, living and dead, simply by compiling 1600 publicly available datasets. Like court records and mortgages and whatnot.

Today you'd include location tracking, social media, all financial tracking, etc.

It's remarkable that any crime goes unsolved. Like the back log of rape test kits, it's only because no one cares enough to bother to look.
I think I can imagine why you would need a combination of PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and Redis, but what problem does MongoDB solve for you?

Before going on to the Metaphysical Hangover, I will, for completeness’s sake, mention three supposed hangover cures, all described as infallible by those who told me about them, though I have not tried any of them. The first two are hard to come by.

• Go down the mine on the early-morning shift at the coal-face.

• Go up for half an hour in an open aeroplane (needless to say, with a non-hungover person at the controls).

• Known as Donald Watt’s Jolt, this consists of a tumbler of some sweet liqueur, Benedictine or Grand Marnier, taken in lieu of breakfast. Its inventor told me that with one of them inside him, he once spent three-quarters of an hour at a freezing bus-stop ‘without turning a hair’. It is true that the sugar in the drink will give you energy and the alcohol alcohol.
Is it wrong to start testing from the "Manual QA" point of view (But in reality automated.)?
The state is one piece of the puzzle for sure. I have a theory that if a very wealthy philanthropist not entrepreneur were to create a new platform, we may find that it remains far less censored even if/when it gets popular. Money talks too much sometimes and if the only regulations on a platform were state/federal laws then I suspect there would be far less censorship. This may be especially true if run in a country that tries to remain politically neutral. There would still be pressure to remove content that embarrasses politicians. Short of content that explicitly breaks laws, there would be no financial incentive to remove content. Oppressive countries would still block the site, but people are adaptive and will find a way to get the news out to the world.

Do you know a company hiring in such a way, for positions above 'non-qualified staff'?

AFAIK in most industries the overall cost would be prohibitive: some allowances for being new, redundancy, formal training... it adds up. Some potential side-effects (particularly for jobs involving contact with any prospect/customer/partner or knowledge of some confidential information) aren't to be neglected.

However it may indeed lead to a better overall context (more performant and pleased employees), and adding new nontraditional backgrounds to existing teams often produces interesting or even wonderful results (for all involved).
Without a neural network one would probably use optical flow [1] and I guess you could train a neural network to predict optical flow and then use that flow to align the two inputs. I have no answer to your specific question, what kind of neural network architecture would be best suited but given the task it seems reasonable to assume some form of convolutional neural network.

> allegedly without even being washed

That seems really unlikely. It wouldn't take long to backfire and the negative PR would destroy what little profit was gained by not washing them. It's unlikely the airline is actually repacking anything, in any case. They almost certainly subcontract the cleaning to a laundry service, and that's who re-bags the cleaned blankets.
Hmm this might explain why I pluck the odd grey hair, only to find that it is only grey at the oldest end, and the newer hair is back to normal colour.

So the hair stopped being grey halfway through growing... Less stress?

The eligibility criteria for this referendum were not linked to general rights to vote for the UK Parliament, there was a separate piece of legislation. You were probably classed as still living in the UK at the time.
The XOR swapping trick is possible since the earliest machine languages with memory to memory XOR operations (or, less simply, any XOR operation), so it's unlikely to be seriously documented until someone began teaching it.
Move the hands on the crypto doomsday clock a bit closer to midnight I suppose. As Douglas Adams wrote: "[to] revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and ...er, burn down all the forests." https://benoitessiambre.com/specter.html
> “The idea you can only be collaborative face-to-face is a bias,” he said. “And I’d ask, how much creativity and innovation have been driven out of the office because you weren’t in the insider group, you weren’t listened to, you didn’t go to the same places as the people in positions of power were gathering?”

This is exactly it; this whole near-mystical thinking about "hallway conversations" isn't encouraging serendipitous innovation, it's encouraging the political gamesmanship that businesses have been accustomed to.

I think that we will look back at the billions/trillions spent on office space in the world's most expensive cities as one of the biggest misallocations of capital in history.
It’s talked about in small circles, but not broadly. Anecdotally, my wife and one of her friends are the only people I know who quickly conceived and had a child without issue over 30.

My very close friend and his wife gave up after years of treatments. My sister and her husband are coming up on years of unsuccessful treatments. Several of my wife’s close friends either required treatments, have lost one or more pregnancies, and/or have yet to succeed with treatments.

It’s more than enough to make you feel like there is something serious going on. There was an article recently about aggressive drops in male fertility, which might shed light.

In my mind, the other big piece is readiness / pressure. I don’t think it’s everything, but I do think there must be a huge mental component to conception. The people who are more financially stable and on the same page seem to have the easiest time.
It's really hard to change a culture because of the vicious cycle that you have pointed out.
I dunno, this seems to be pretty consistent with YouTube's other policies. They aren't crossing any new boundaries here. Note:

1) YouTube isn't doing anything wrong. They obviously support in principle the rights of humans.

2) They are consistently applying their policies. This could reasonably be used to dox people (eg, holding up ID of your enemies so maybe they get rounded up eventually).

3) They are probably going to be forced to do stuff like this anyway in compliance with local government rules, so there isn't much they can practically do.

You might (quite reasonably!) want YouTube to be active in promoting some combination of human rights and/or free speech. But YouTube has made their in-practice policy quite clear. They are also going to defer to what the local authorities believe is acceptable.

You can hire a lawyer just to give you advice. You don’t have to retain the lawyer for the case. In a lot of cases retaining a lawyer only ends up costing 10-15 hours of their time and if you’re going to court anyways add there fees to your court costs in the counter suit.
Thanks for the kind words. The most important thing I've learned is to just take the next step. If I can figure out whatever that next step should be, then I can focus on just that and the rest doesn't stress me so much.
Ditto time and sequence (order). For example, online movie reviews were deanon simply by correlating viewing history with order reviews were posted.
Really agree there's a massive imbalance between recruitment tools for companies and software engineers that leads to a power imbalance in the hiring process - I think this sounds awesome!!
As a NYer, I never understood why so many people from here retire to Florida. Yes the beaches are beautiful, but the weather is also scorching - and humid. And hurricanes. Maybe it's the cost?

If I had to pick a warm weather retirement destination, Hawaii would be #1 on my list. Second would probably be SoCal somewhere. I guess both are more expensive than Florida.
What were his contributions, exactly? He's been an entertainer for the last decade, before that you've got to go back some ways before he contributed... And that contribution, while personally valuable to me (and others), is of arguable social value: There's no denying the early antivirus business drove the early virus business to the point of mostly being the same people.

I made money using McAfee's product for others, and so did many others. But he gave us that opportunity through selling fear, and that was not a good thing for greater society.
>Sure. Not for originally misspeaking, but for intentionally harassing her afterwards.

The point in this example is that the harasser-harassee relationship is exactly reversed.

It's revealing that you find the act of using the wrong pronoun to be harassment, but public shaming at the workplace and on social media to be acceptable.

I see we fundamentally disagree, which is fine. I do hope, however, that you can see why many of us disagree with you, and don't want your sociological theories enshrined into law.

This will only continue to get worse. Journalism can never be truly objective. But as we move more and more along this line, where journalists seem content with moving away from the facts, and more towards yellow journalism, and see themselves more and more as activists changing the world, and less as people bringing the truth out. this will only accelerate. As the old guard retires and leaves the news room, we will have completely lost any sense of journalistic integrity.
The only field McAfee has contributed to is wherever they bury his charred remains.

That, and getting away with murder.
I think we should start adopting the term 'tinnitus' when people argue with 'dogwhistle'. Just because a person calling X a dogwhistle of Y doesn't make it so.
The garbage is addictive.

It seems to me that a distributed (and more secure) version needs to have something in it that would cause a network effect. The idea of Facebook seems sound, it's just hard to get everyone to agree on one and when they do it's hard to break them free.
My old university prof used to say: "How many Germans do you need to change a lightbulb? One, because we are efficient and don't have time for humor." (German university + German prof)

A "reflection of the majority in India" assumes that everyone in India votes or can vote which I find to be extremely unlikely given most of the population live in rural areas and are uneducated.

The play store provides basically no value at all, not even the marginal value Apple's App Store provides.
For us this was true until we'd experienced it and started talking about it publicly. It turns out we have a lot of friends and acquaintances who were willing to open up with us once they knew they weren't alone. Like in many other struggles, having a common bond with others makes it easier to bear.

This happened in my (31yo) beard, which allowed me to watch it shift grey and back in a short time, and it absolutely coincided with ~3 months of work where I was killing myself, and went away when I took 2 steps back and resumed riding my bike outside a few times a week.
Warrants have legal meaning but little practical impact. They can be requested and granted very easily. The process offers very little protection. If the cops ask for warrant to request the list of numbers called, they will get it.

That said, warrants are not always needed. The logic goes that the phone company already knows who you have called. They needed that information when they connected the calls. They store that information for billing purposes. So connection/metadata isn't private because you have already shared it with the phone company. In many countries that is sufficient to moot the entire warrant debate. (This logic then extends to other data used to make connections and route internet traffic such as IP addresses.) And if the phone company/ISP is a state-owned/backed/licensed enterprise there is little privacy left to argue over.
They still booted to a desktop from ROM, but the hard disc boot sequence had to update lots of kernel modules that had since been updated. Acorn would roll those updates back into the next version of the RISC OS ROMs, and (for some computers) you could buy newer ROMs. But the boot sequence generally took longer as time went on (though still only 10-15s from my memory).
>1. I'm not talking about "honest mistakes".

But I am talking about honest mistakes. I am worried that people such as yourself are incapable or unwilling to distinguish them from actual bona fide harassment.

>Nobody is putting cisgendered people in jail for a slip of the tongue.

People are already being fired and cancelled for such things. This is precisely why we're having this debate.
I wonder how this scales to a level of a city. Large cities tend to have larger innovation, which is partially attributed to the ease at which ideas can move between companies through job changes, serendipitious encounters, and a build-up of local business infrastructure.

Would these sorts of agglomerative effects still occur in cities, if remote work is the norm and people don't have to be so concentrated? Or might these effects be amplified at the national level, because people can communicate more freely? I'm interested to see how this plays out over the next years.

The full english breakfast is our gift to the world. Honestly it's one of the only things I'm vaguely proud of - most countries fail utterly at breakfast, despite their other meals by far defeating ours (Japan, why do you eat natto for breakfast?). I do have a guilty pleasure in ordering a full english breakfast in other countries just to see the variations. I had a really quite interesting interpretation in Budapest which involved paprika sausages and beans served as a dipping sauce.

Lesser known aspect - it's totally OK to have a pint of beer with your full english breakfast. I would consider that very traditional, and it's also an extra helper against a hangover, somehow.

> On 3. note that carbohydrates are the only of the three macronutient we don't need to eat at all (see eskimo).

This isn't true. Although the Intuit people were largely carnivorous, they did not have a "keto" diet. They ate a lot of meat, but the animals they ate have extremely high amounts of natural glycogen. They also did not eat as much fat as expected, because animal fat was their source of heat and light for long winter nights.

> ...When is abundant, the average daily diet of the adult Eskimo consists approximately of 30 to 40 grams of carbohydrate (which includes glycogen), 250 to 300 grams of protein, and about 150 grams of fat (FA/G=1.2). These amounts of meat are apparently not heroic, for it has been alleged that the Yakuts, on the Low Steppe, east of the Lena, eat as much as 25 and 30 pounds of meat a day.”

It is also trivially the case that "due process is good, but not the highest good". Or, to take a less charged example, freedom of contracts

I don't mean to be snarky, but to try to draw a line. There are goods and rights that are intrinsically important (say food, water, social life, freedom from crime) and some that are important for the maintaining of a society (contracts are a good example here).

One of these "to maintain a society" freedoms is due process. Another, free speech. Both are important for their own sake, but also to check and control power.

You can say, and it is reasonable to say, that not suffering the ill effects of crime is more important than having good due process. But, given that due process is an important check on those in power, whenever they say "we need to reduce due process to get better law enforcement", you should be wary.

To sum up: some seemingly rational trades between values are dangerous, especially since they reduce our ability to influence society/to undo those trades.
> 11 Calls were answered with only music. The music could indicate something, such as being in queue for some service. All music variants except for one sounded like generic elevator music that could be the default hold music in PBXs.

Someone told me that there used to be actual phone lines playing music 24/7 that elevators would dial and output to a speaker. Speaking of elevators, their emergency lines are also usually just phones and, as someone already pointed out in this thread, with enough knowledge you can call the elevator and listen (and talk) to people in it.
Under current US law, health insurance companies can't even adjust your premiums for serious preexisting conditions, much less because you bought some beer.

Auto insurance could maybe do it though.

That's one option: you combine protected, de-identified information with unprotected (e.g. non-health) information to re-identify the protected information. But also, something like Facebook allows you to target a person who lives in $TOWN, works at $COMPANY, born in $YEAR, even if you don't know that person's name or SSN.
The problem with bags is - let's call it the bachelor shopper. A modern man's clothes may have pockets, but he rarely wears any kind of handbag in which to hold the reusable shopping bag.

So it doesn't matter if they cost 1c, 10c or 1 eur - I am always buying new bags, have nowhere to put the bag when I am going outside. At least I also use them to throw away trash.
I work in healthcare (though not with any efforts like those described in the article). Anonymizing data is much more complicated than simply removing the obvious PII: depending on what the data is, even things like procedure codes with dates might be enough to identify a patient. HIPAA and other related regs account for this, and have pretty strict procedures that must be followed before data can be considered officially deidentified.

"Suppose that in addition to your present duties, you were made responsible for space and services for your people. You would have to decide on the kind of workplace for each person, and the amount of space and expense to be allocated. How would you go about it? You'd probably want to study the ways in which people use their space, the amount of table space required, and the number of hours in a day spent working alone, working with one other person, and so forth. You'd also investigate the impact of noise on people's effectiveness. After all, your folks are intellect workers - they need to have their brains in gear to do their work, and noise does affect their ability to concentrate.

For each of the observed kinds of disturbance, you'd look for an easy, mechanical way to protect your workers. Given a reasonably free hand, you would investigate the advantages of closed space vs opens space. This would allow you to make a sensible trade-off of cost against privacy and quiet. Finally, you would take int account people's social needs and provide some areas where a conversation could take place without disturbing others.

It should come as no surprise to you that the people who do control space and services for your company (particularly if it is a large company) don't spend much time thinking about any of the concerns listed above."
