You think that if they can tweet they won't have to go out and murder. Let off a little steam on facebook??? Really??? Really??? Obviously they are doing both and by 'shitposting' you mean posting videos glorifying their victims being beheaded and burnt alive. I suppose you think pedophiles should be able to publish their rape vids too? Anything goes right? No rights more important than the precious!


Glad you know that most vets are underpaid. Entry costs are massive - you can't just rent some office space and you cannot really do it alone, there are some single vet practices, they don't make much.

If you think some of the equipment is 100k, x-ray 30k per plate. You also need a territory before you start. It is too easy for bigger practices to starve you out to just pile in 250k and hope for the best.

You have to join a small practice, crawl up through the ranks, getting paid next to nothing, somehow kill your colleagues before they make partner and then you might be in a position to jump ship stealing customers as you go or organize a coup take over the practice by joining with another bigger practice nearby and buying out the seniors.

If you had said lawyer now... I don't know maybe - but I got your american dream point.


For what it's worth, I picked Veterinarian because a friend of mine did in fact make the leap from underpaid vet to small business owner. All in one go, with a small business loan.

His motivation for doing so was a conversation with his previous boss that included the quote "because I went out and got a lease on a building".


Never mind reeducation camps what about people trying to sell you loafers...


What is your point though? Who cares how it does it? The fact that it can tell gay from straight will have privacy implications for both. Not to mention that it is not revealed in the study how much of the feature set was based on grooming. This is pure speculation. Clearly these trigger points mean more minuses for me and a lack of any sensible discussion of the actual point of the study.


My point is that the poster I was responding to seemed to want something magical, something I don't think is possible.


And in the context of privacy with regard to public surveillance systems with facial recognition capability your point is exactly what?


Social characteristics are voluntary. People who are hiding won't adopt them.


Homosexual men will have to start wearing ill-fitting suits and dirty gym shorts to avoid being caught by the algorithm.


Totally agree! Heterosexual women will have to wear makeup and grow their hair long to avoid being misidentified as lesbians. Personally I think it is wishful thinking on the part of people who think that you aren't born gay. This algorithm will out even the most repressed homosexual as it is not entirely based on 'social characteristics'. Science doesn't care what you think.


Gay men and women have blended in undetected for thousands of years all over the world. They've only been able to really come out in the last few decades. If this miserable distopia of automatic homosexual detection came to pass, they would simply go back to blending in again. A miserable existence, but pretty sure they'd be able to fool the robot overlords.


80% of times according to this research the robot overlords will not be fooled. Of course, the success rate is little consolation. The fact that it will be applied at all is the problem. People who expect gay people to go back into hiding are the past.


Sorry my bad didn't google it properly first, not a spelling nazi - it just makes my brain hurt to look at it.

js library names has become like domains now - everything already taken, boing.js, bounce.js, pulse.js, throb.js, even wubwub.js - hey how about palp.js? meh...no rythm.js is better :) there were too many haches in that word anyway.


Not part or ever will be it seems. Their application officially just recently being moved to the out tray.


e-Stonia has e-Residency, and various other internet-based shenanigans. You can get an e-passport, set up business, get residency, travel documents, online, I think. Just visit your local embassy with proof of id. They are selling themselves as a digital destination/economy. Russia occasionally does massive DDoS there. so ymmv. Not sure how that relates though just surprised it was them. Maybe they are leaking it because they want it nipped in the bud.


There will be any number of reasons to favor PostgreSQL over the DolphinDB and vice versa.

I have owned various on linux, aix, windows, sco-unix, vax from pick, rms, isams, 4gls dbs, ingres, informix, sybase, mssql, db2, oracle, solid, postgres, mysql to mongo, influx, and redis. I hate them all. I found mysql very slow, much slower than postgresql on equivalent datasets/queries. I had done evaluations before choosing an open-source db for a particular project.

And that really is the crux of the thing - comparing benchmarks is usually meaningless, some don't scale as well, some suit a different kind of application, some need to be distributed, some not, it really is on a case by case basis, what is good in one case is not always the case.

Perhaps stating the blindingly obvious for those getting very het up about evangelism...
