One big thing totally didn't: the estrangement of respectable society from high technology shrank instead of growing. Can you imagine going to a criminal gang for cutting edge medical treatment? Or a top-notch hacker living in a U-Store-it

If you're talking to a person who can't deviate from the script, you're not really talking to a person -- you're talking to the script. It's like an AI, but clunkier.

Universities don't do much to encourage students to work hard. You'll pass no matter what, and in many places can get an A by just cramming for the final. Worse, many classes adjust grading standards based on how students are doing, so any

That's not the metric. The metric is not described in detail, but it is alleged to test "critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing". The non-textuality of the workload was a separate observation.

I did a quick xnxx search for "humiliated". It's 36 vids per page. The first page had one male victim and the rest female. The second page had seven male. The third page fourteen. I stopped at that. So it doesn't look like true numeric

Google interviewees are asked to sign an NDA regarding the interview questions, mostly so that no one can look smarter than they are by studying those specific questions. Some candidates do forget it and leak information, but since bullshi

The Flynn effect has been observed over less than a century. Extrapolating it to 20k years is a stretch.

Why would you want to do that? They have no state. You're almost never going to do anything with them except invoke them from specific places. This sounds like complexity for its own sake.

Still, somebody has to have it. If the number of people is too low, you risk them all being unavailable when you really need them. And there isn't a whole lot you can do to stop a malicious actor who already has root.

America is a very unequal country that is true. Just not unequal in opportunities. The richest people in the US (the ones with 80% of the wealth) have probably in most cases earned it. Can you provide evidence for either of these claims?

I've always been rather suspicious of that essay. He says: Making wealth is not the only way to get rich. For most of human history it has not even been the most common. Until a few centuries ago, the main sources of wealth were mines, sla

It's a little overgeneral. There are ways your software can betray you besides spying on you. Or maybe the term is meant to include that stuff too, despite the explicit definition.

There aren't a lot of opportunities. Most ways Google can grow are blocking on things other than money.

Google isn't managing it. The existing management company is keeping the job. Google is just owning it.

If not peer review then what? Centralized review? Is there any hope that that won't collapse under its own weight? Public review? That hasn't done all that well in the Open Source world.

What of the students who can pass the 12th grade standards in 7th grade? Do they take the next 5 years off?

Unitarian Universalism. Often mistaken for Java/Christianity, from which it takes many superficial elements, but opposite in philosophy. You can do just about anything in it. Many critics call this a bad thing.

In many cases, you will get better short-term results by drilling recipes or factoids than pursuing deep understanding, though the latter is far more valuable in the long run (and in early schooling, long is the only run that matters). The

That's ok. If you have that little patience with foolishness, I don't want you running my security. Users' foolishness gets a lot worse than that, and is most organizations' biggest vulnerability. Sometimes you just lock down their works

A little vocabulary heavy, but mostly good. Be careful not to reject someone just because they use the word "threat" for a different concept than you do (but can reason fine about both concepts). And role-playing should be seen as mandator

Does anyone know the context this was written from? No sense compared to a 10 hour work day? 6 hour? Roughly 8 hours a day broken up as convenient? However long it takes to get a well-measured hunk of work done? The article doesn't real

My first thought is that this is the sort of problem managers are supposed to help with. If yours is a good one, raise the issue with him. Failing that, my thoughts: It sounds like the position you want doesn't exist at your company. The

I really want to see a journal of someone who tried this: what they asked for, what was surprisingly accepted and how rejections were issued.

180 million isn't all that many. Keeping the answers in a database is trivial. Extracting the answers by trial and error is feasible. You'll probably want a large botnet to avoid getting blocked for suspiciously high traffic. If the ser

This is correct. The two changes are independent, and stack.

Thank you! That link is much clearer than the article. One thing wasn't in it that I found cleared this up a lot, though: with a normal sail, wind that gets caught still moves forward relative to the ground, just slower. With this thing,

I'd love to see this broken down by major, GPA, toughness-of-curriculum and prestige-of-university. Assuming the claim isn't extrapolated from a single janitor. Not all degrees are equal.

That pattern of behavior is treated unfairly, though. He argued for one theory, did a study, and then published a paper with a very different direction. That's how it's supposed to work. You change your mind as the facts come in. The ar
