"We hope it will serve as a contact point for office workers who are dissatisfied with their lot in life and are seeking something better. The current situation of most clerical workers, secretaries, and »processors« of various sorts is our starting place: meaningless work with little material reward in a deteriorating and self-destructive social system."

Data Harm Record Joanna Redden and Jessica Brand The aim of this document is to provide a running record of ‘data harms’, harms that have been caused by uses of big data. The goal is to document and learn from where things have gone wrong. The document compiles the examples of harms that have been…
Despite the name, a database is best thought of as a repository not just for data, but rather for facts—that is, for true propositions. The article that follows explains this remark in lay terms and begins to explore some of its many implications.

Why our intuition about sea-level rise is wrong. Harvard geophysicist Jerry Mitrovica explains that climate change is not just about a global average sea rise.
Human gaming tactics draw analogies from the physical world to hide the underlying complexity (chunking), and enable the players to think at a higher level. AlphaGo isnt limited(?) by physical world analogies.
Common mistake in arch: Using functionality to id services ("Buying Stocks", "Selling Stocks", ...). Functional decomposition maximizes impact of change, is coupled to it. Better encapsulate change to insulate. Do not resonate with change. |
The conclusion is that you should never design against the requirements (or the features, or the use cases, or the user stories). What you must do instead is identify the smallest set of building blocks, call them microservices if you like, that you can put together to satisfy ANY requirement: present and future, known and unknown. There is a strong process angle of how you go about doing just that.
Identify areas of volatilities, and those you encapsulate in (micro)services. Then you implement the required behavior as the interaction between those services. A new requirement would simply mean a different services interaction, not a different decomposition, so now when the requirements change, your design does not.

The limitations of backpropagation learning can now be overcome by using multilayer neural networks that contain top-down connections and training them to /generate/ sensory data rather than to classify it. (...) much better than previous approaches

Computer scientists at MIT have developed a program called Helium that can automatically revamp and fine-tune old code, without needing the original source, in a matter of hours or even minutes.
