I mean, if you don't like the tax cuts your city government offers Amazon to try and get their headquarter, you can vote them out come the next election.

Theatre companies made their money by performing live too, and people would go to the rehearsals, copy the script, and rip them off by premiering the act before them. Hence the introduction of copyright law, which predates automatic recordi

I don't understand your comment. You drive your kids to school without complaining, but if you weren't working you'd also drive your kids to school without complaining?

Your sibling comment by /u/Nokinside says almost the opposite. "Reduced child mortality and health benefits that extend into adulthood".

ImageNet is a manually-annotated database to train models. Google had the Image Search corpus internally too. The advances in image and speech recognition of these times are due to innovations in deep learning by Google, Microsoft, NVidia,

It was only feasible to do recently, in the sense that only recently did Google develop (and publish) the ML techniques that made it feasible. It wasn't some inevitability brought to us by Moore's law.

Granted. But to get that you need to jump many more hurdles (which are there for good reasons).

Maybe it's simply a matter of from whose point of view the story is being told. "They used my data without asking" vs "they won't let me use this data that I already have anyway". It helps that it's painte

More privacy protections were enforced later according to the account, but the very first protection of them all is asking for consent to use the data. That's what I was getting to. Consent to use your responses to treat you is differe

If memory serves me well, a friend of mine there killed mutant zebrafish larvae, after being done with them, with bleach (as the approved protocol). And another friend at Harvard cut the heads off lab rats with scissors like Heidi plucking

I mean, he didn't say it was handled by the IRB. He just told me it was more strict. Maybe that was specific to MIT.

Or via a procedure that complies with the requirements of that IRB :)

I'm not the parent but would like to know. How much does it cost? And how does "I skipped our free IRB and paid this third-party IRB because they're laxer" really look to the department?

What a medical professor at MIT HST told me is exactly the opposite, at least for "higher order" mammals like pigs. The checks are more strict because the animal can't possibly consent to you doing the experiment on it.

Not the parent, but I reached that same conclusion. You're not trusting them blindly because any and every ethical protection you decide your procedure needs, will be there. In addition to the ones the IRB thinks need to be there t

But we're talking about a think tank, right? It's a private group of people that write about their opinions. Why shouldn't they have conflicts of interest?
