Personally I do not dread the day when I don't have to spent a third of my day at work, but that's because I do not identify my self-worth with my profession, nor do I think employment itself is somehow the be-all-end-all state of human beings.
I also don't desire to spend ~55% of my waking time involved with my employment, but how does my life after displacement by automation compare with my life now? Right now I am lower middle class (would be middle class, but divorce changed that). If my job were to disappear, along with so many others, then it is reasonable to assume that attaining new employment will be profoundly more difficult (over 40, + presumed lack of jobs).
How do you propose society handles this issue? Note, I don't take task with you that it is happening, but what do we as a society do about it? You mentioned basic income, okay, how do you implement that when the political body is proven corrupt (in the US at least) where the DNC forced their candidate choice via superdelegates, and the RNC is so head up ass that we ended up with Pence and President Golfer McGolf face in office? How do the people reclaim a government from that level of corruption?
I have the disturbing gut feeling that we're heading towards something that will make Arab Spring look docile; think French Revolution and watering the meadows of France with the blood of martyrs.
If you told people in 1990 that in 30 or so years self-driving cars will start to emerge and threaten the jobs of drivers you'd have been laughed at by most. Similarly if you told them that call-.center jobs are being replaced by automated speech recognition and synthesis bots.
and just for some perspective, if you had said we'd have a moon base by now, or working fusion reactors actually in the design phase / pilot phase you would have been believed.
They're welcome to saw my phone in half to get at the files on the flash chip too:)
I get the point you're making about discovery, but this *still* violates being a witness against yourself. In discovery the police/DA can't put a piece of paper and a pen in front of you and require you write a confession, even if you were caught red handed.
good fucking god! I think I'd need more than a bowl of pot after doing that for a living!
Seriously I hope that of the 3000 employees they are hiring, they plan on 300 of them being Psychs, I think that a single counselor *might* be able to handle 10 patients who all have to deal with shit like this.
related, IDK that it's FBs fault that people are capable of being so horrible to each other or animals, but maybe this live streaming thing is too far in search of a buck?
I fail to see how this is flamebait. Crude perhaps, but not flamebait.
It is a legitimate point. If you've made the decision to preferentially hire based on [trait], then that entire class of employee now is subject to the self doubt of "was I only hired because I had [trait] or am I good enough that I was hired because I am better than average?"
Of course, we don't know for sure because the word "experience" appears neither in the WSJ's article nor in The Verge's article. Gee that seems like the sort of basic thing that a study like this would consider.
depends on what dataset you're trying to use to put forward the statistical result that supports your narrative.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics (and all that jazz). Hell, if it really is an experience thing (likely given the article *does* mention that the rejections seem to align with rank of the coder, and women are at lower rank on average there) then by omitting that in your model means you don't even have to get outlandish with your p values.:p
No, that's if you unprovision it. Turning it off in BIOS basically makes it brain dead. It still loads the lower functions so it can do CPU uCode patch, PMC, and similar, but none of the application level stuff even boots up.
Intel has a tool called Firmware update local (fwupdlclw.exe / fwupdlcl.exe) that can update the ME without a reboot of the host OS. Fun trivia, someone in marketing tried naming it "Intel Firmware Update" and started wondering why all the engineers started laughing our arses off. Anyway, this tool and a binary image could be deployed via windows update easily enough.
If you turn ME off in BIOS then it doesn't load anything above the primitives to get the system up and running, no higher kernel functions, and certainly no AMT code. In other news, I owe several people here an apology, as I've stood up for my former employer in the past. I still stand by that they took security seriously, but obviously something big got through. I worked on ME and this is in AMT (A component of ME, but developed by a different team; in Israel, not US... though the entire shooting match is over there now since they shuttered the US side).
So... time for me to go grab a hunk of humble pie.
Obviously 100% of the hackintosh users that are using it because they need the specs and 0% of the users doing it because it's cool. additionally I'd say 80-100% of the creatives who are currently using a top specced machine and about 25% of the rest, who want "the latest and greatest from apple".
I think uptake would be *much* larger if people didn't have to do it themselves. If someone had Hackintoshes ready to go they'd sell out. Of course they'd be sued into oblivion.
worth it in some cases. As long as the cards that *need* the dedicated BW have it, then the other cards could switch off. e.g. don't put video capture and high speed storage on the same switch, but putting video capture and LTO archive drives on the same switch is fine b/c they're not used at the same time.
To some extent, yes. Kids' minds are still developing, their capacity to handle some of the unfiltered bullshit on the internet is limited by hormones, experience, etc. The "walled garden" approach to life is not a bad thing, as long as the walls are allowed to expand reasonably and not forever remain a tiny cell (which would stunt growth). It's the mental information processing equivalent of keeping them in the shallow side of the pool while learning to swim when you're not there with them, going into the deep end only with someone there to help them out if (when) they get in trouble.
As a parent of a 'tween' girl it is something I struggle with deeply. The constant battle of trying to be a good *parent* and giving her safe, yet still challenging limits (letting the walls of the garden expand) and being that overly protective, grab my shotgun "dad" that wants to keep those walls close and tight to keep everything bad away. Intellectually I know that's horrible for her development as a human being, but that doesn't mean I don't feel the desire to do it anyway.
One of the hardest things to do as a parent is to watch your kid set themselves up for a failure and do nothing, knowing that it's gonna hurt, but they'll learn so much more than if you interceded and bailed them out.
Actually, limiting their access to unrestricted (and often hostile) media is healthy. Restricting their access to critical thought and sex-ed leads to lifelong problems.
As to TFA, I find it both highly interesting and highly disturbing that they are targeting particularly vulnerable minors. I think the disturbing part is self explanatory, but what if the same algos were made available for free to NIH (in the US, not sure what the equivalent in AU is) and those ad slots were filled with positive messages, stories about how to cope, and other tools that teens could *actually* use? It's still non-specific as far as person ID so no HIPPA (US Again) law violations, and I believe FB could write off the slots used against comparable ad's revenue.
I *bet* if this was done well, done right, we would see a statistically noticeable drop in teen suicide and self harm, possibly in teen violence and bullying, and hopefully in substance abuse.*
*This is not a war on drugs thing, it's a "their brain is still growing, don't fuck it up with meth/booze/coke" thing. Once they're at age of maturity I care a lot less what they do.
most of the issue with current systems is context switching and cache misses, neither of which show as CPU usage on the monitor, but directly impede using said core(s). The reason your transcode can actually peg the CPU is that there is a *high* branch prediction hit rate, and *low* cache misses (virtually none, since you're hitting the same half dozen instructions in essentially a while(1) loop).
Really shows that optimising the workload to the architecture is still important even on *fast* CPUs

now as to this part:

so anon name and shame then.
They need to publish that list, as I would uninstall any app that did this.

self doubt can be quite harmful.

distance, bandwidth, pick one. Longer wavelength has a lower shannon limit, so less speed.
*most* BIOS's have the ability to turn ME off.
No, that's if you unprovision it.

no southbridge either.
When GMCH was split and the GM part went into the CPU the CH and southbridge became the PCH.
I think uptake would be *much* larger if people didn't have to do it themselves. If someone had Hackintoshes ready to go they'd sell out. Of course they'd be sued into oblivion.

the catch is it's partitioned as eMMC but tying up 4xPCIe to do it...
now $900 sounds a bit high... hehe

I have a lab coat that is monogrammed:
"Experience is directly proportional to the amount of lab equipment ruined"
I believe the coding corollary would be:
"Experience is directly proportional to the amount of code unmaintainable by the writer"
like most things, not strictly true, but the evidence is compelling that it is pragmatically true:
