One wonders if one could train a neural network to look at the mix of junk in the blood and predict what a person will have died of in five years. At this point I'm sure the idea is science fiction. But seeing how DeepMind's Alpha

And it's quite hard to do that. Companies tend not to want to negotiate with a union and have a separate compensation structure for non-union employees in the same job families. It's hard to have or benefit from one set of worki

Sort of, although the downsides are unevenly suffered. The patriarchy is bad for men, but it is far worse for women.

Well it's by definition not exceptional if all comparably placed CEOs are performing the same. :) But, nitpick aside, I agree there's a flaw here, since it doesn't differentiate between the CEOs performing "to spec"

The author, or perhaps the author's affiliates, are doing battle with RationalWiki over the right to have PSI research and other nonsense treated as factual on Wikipedia. http://wikipediawehaveaproblem.com/2015/11&

I don't think, in the limit, that this is a scalable approach. While I think injecting dependencies is fine in some cases, large programs might have hundreds or thousands of collaborators. It is simply not feasible to instantiate all o

You are missing the point. It's not whether there are a trivial number or not. It's about the relative sizes of the groups in the population versus the sample. The fact that there is not a single negative response is basically pro

> 'Private' would mean at least that every penny wasted is out of the personal pocket of the people doing the work; in a very direct sense. That is an odd sense of the word. It's a state that basically doesn't exist a

So far, nothing, at least for me. Still plonking that money directly into index funds. Some of my friends swear by rental properties but it seems like an awful lot of work.

When speaking of public vs. private in the government vs. not-government sense, the CEO of GE would definitely fall into the private category. That's what's under discussion here. In what sense do you mean private?

I live in a building that does use central cooling. I'm not quite sure how it works, but I believe that they pump chilled water through our radiators. The radiators are more like air conditioner radiators than traditional cast iron rad

Hah. This is a good point. I was going to call you out for having barely any employees and so of course they'd do well. But, for anyone who hasn't tried this, if you give the hypothetical employee 10% of the company, they come out

If there is any justice, Google will claw back significant fractions of the $120M it paid him through arbitration. It's unacceptable for this guy to sail off into the sunset after doing what he has done (if indeed it is proven that he

I would be very surprised if such a thing exists. Are there any industries, safety critical or otherwise, where the default is open source? If not, why would anyone think to justify the decision to not open source code, and especially why w

I don't know for certain whether the concept of a bounty was considered, and if so why it was rejected. But I can think of a few possibly good reasons to not do this. For one thing, it could be thought of as rewarding the engineers who
