Reminds me of a great historical figure of Hungary, István Széchenyi.

>Széchenyi gained a wider reputation in 1825, by supporting the proposal of the prime minister, Nagy, to establish the Hungarian Academy of Sciences; Széchenyi donated the full annual income of his estates that year, 60,000 florins, towards it.

There's actually a autonomous vehicle test facility in Concord, CA's old naval base where I reckon they're doing these types of tests.
It often takes several hours for AWS to roll it out to the various consoles.
Some vaccinations are riskier than others. While it's fairly clear they don't cause autism after that whole braindead debate, they aren't exactly risk free EITHER, though complications are vaccine specific, rare, and not very well understood because of the rarity.

It's very easy to violate someone's self determination rights with the best intentions and still hurt them. In the virus parallel the vector is an unknown quantity. It doesn't entirely seal the router, and doing it without permission may in fact increase the vulnerability of the router (or brick it, if things go wrong).

I find this really interesting, but it's very hard to back from a moral or ethical point of view.
> More often than not an attacker can be halted without escalating the confrontation

There's no escalating the confrontation once you are already fighting. It's escalated already.

Quite simply: that's not how street fights work.
>Speaking out against gay-marriage is intolerant.

Are you tolerant of other peoples' religious beliefs? If so to what extent?

I find people are quick to defend certain religious beliefs and people's right to believe in them; but start drawing lines where religious beliefs don't mingle well with their own personal beliefs.

For example - a Jew's right to avoid pork and shellfish is respected but the right for an evangelical Christian to avoid people they see as ultimate sinners who could soil them and send them to hell for eternity is completely disregarded and not tolerated at all.

>It is a problem because it creates an atmosphere of fear

If I were a hell-fearing Christian I would be very understanding of being afraid of going to Hell and being afraid of anyone who might increase my chances of doing so.

The issue is you do not have a concept of sin or that your interpretation of the Bible (and thus sin) differs from theirs. From their religious perspective, you're in the wrong. You're a sinner - and a good Christian doesn't listen to sinners. That's how you go to Hell. From their perspective it's very logical to not want to go to Hell and to condemn sinners.

The issue stems from you not being tolerant or understanding of their religious beliefs.

What's my point here? It's that arguing between right or wrong will depend entirely on beliefs. You believe you are right so they must be intolerant - they believe they are right so you must be intolerant.
But these are subreddits whose original purpose is to provide content I want to see, so the problem isn't solved.
So the AMP page looks great on a mobile device, but am I the only one that thinks we don't have enough emphasis on the desktop side of "mobile-friendly" styling? I'm reading this page on a 24" monitor, and literally 2/3rds of the page is whitespace. Why isn't more of that space being filled with text?
Bitcoin Mining: It Doesn't Work the Way You Think It Does
It's hard not to think that a lot of the theatrical upset about "killer robots" is because these are weapons mostly deployed by the United States and a few other Western nations against opponents who don't have a real military defense against them. When you can't respond with warfare, there's always lawfare.

(Cynical, perhaps, but if you watch the UN human rights council for even five minutes cynicism seems quite appropriate.)

Someone complains about this every time there's an AWS announcement day. Each product gets substantially different conversations. It'd be very frustrating to have to skim through dozens of top-level comments to find one on the service you're interested in.
We're probably near a point where everyone who wants to own an e-ink reader already has one. At that point, these folks are buying at least some of their books for and through the device (I wonder if this retailer gets a cut of that), but they're not buying new devices very often. So it makes sense that sales of the devices would plateau after a while.

Building 20 – The Magical Incubator (1998) [video]
Our long-term focus is really on the instant answers, and we hope to really build up the DuckDuckHack platform to a point where the majority of searches have instant answers on par or better than the links.

Of course, basic link quality is still par for the course. We have worked a lot this year on better language support so if you type say in Finnish we recognize that and adjust the results appropriately. For truly localized stuff (like restaurants, transit, for example), we really want to attack that via the instant answers.
Thank you, didn't realize it.

Just curious, are you going to also have people filing grant proposals (with government agencies, etc), as an avenue of additional funding?
A significant amount of proposals are too pie-in-the-sky to take seriously but still warrant attention.

Honestly I'd like to see Kickstarter take a stab at this too, providing the general populace with an outlet to support research projects.
We would also like to see similar services across the spectrum and really believe people want private alternatives that they can switch to with little sacrifice. That said, search is difficult enough for us!
Analytics and advertising are core parts of how publishing works as a business, but they often seem to be implemented without thinking about speed.

AMP makes it harder (impossible?) for them to misuse analytics and advertising by putting those features into their own elements in the page and preventing arbitrary JS.

I'm glad they separated out react from the DOM. This makes it much more likely that people will export the ideas and the API of React to other languages. The API is sane for data-flow programming and the lifecycle is well-defined. The separation of properties from state can be useful in other contexts.
Great news! Probably the only other non-university lab at the moment with this type of long-term basic research goal is Microsoft Research.

I also like stateless function components. If you are using Redux, all the state management can be done at Redux side and you can make all React components stateless. And they become even easier to write after this release.

Loans always involve some risk and there are always some bad loans. But there is, in fact, a real difference between secured debt and unsecured debt. A mortgage is secured debt. A student loan is unsecured debt.

Furthermore, since the point of education is to basically help people become more clever, if we make it too easy for smart, knowledgeable people to wash their hands of their student loans, the end result will be an overall societal attitude of "Only a fool actually pays their student loans." At that point, the entire system falls apart in a way that makes our current woes look like small potatoes.
We'll most likely relax this. Related to embedding fidelity.

Everyone wants freedom of speech until someone calls them a racist, then they're triggered.
(I'm working with Sam on YCR.)

It's pretty important that YCR groups have strong ties with the existing research communities — research collaborations tend to have a multiplicative effect.

So I'd expect to see papers coming out of YCR. However, I'd also expect to see many other forms of communication (e.g. blog posts, code releases, etc). In general, we'll tune our efforts to achieve the best research results and impact, rather than to fit the existing incentive systems.
MSR has been around for a while, with quite a bit of freedom, and still is a far cry from the accomplishments of Bell Labs (maybe time will tell, though.)

"Just like that, most of Reddit went quiet."
I'm not a big reddit user, but I never noticed that. Most discussions I am interested in are still going.

Also, the word "misogynist" is one of my litmus tests - it usually indicates prejudice by the author. Most people here have translated that term to sexist but it is usually used to imply "the comments are negative and directed at women". I usually find such articles stereotype men in a negative way (ie. The people who use this term are often hypocritical).
It is unfortunate that the suggested example triggers no result.

"0 Results for silly face"
If every poster here had their net worth attached to their username, you'd probably cry.

We all realize founders maintain "a lot more" equity than employees, but it's almost like our brains aren't wired to recognize, remember, or rationalize how some people get really really rewarded more than others. With Sam being grand poobah of YC, he's on a life track to being a liquid-capable multibillionaire within 5-10 years after the current unicornpalooza goes through a few rounds of lofty exits.

My propositions for SF to require all equity-exited techies to tattoo their net worth on their foreheads keeps getting shot down by anonymous "concerned citizens."
what YC could get out of it ( besides making the world a better place ) is very good knowledge of the capabilities of potential entrepreneurs. Imagine one of these researchers then founding a startup. Funding that would be a lot less risky, so that's quite a bit of edge
Physics Nobel Awarded for Work on Neutrinos' Metamorphosis
Nuclear makes sense. The fluid-fueled nuclear company he's the chairman of (Transatomic) is considered at least slightly heretical by the nuclear industry, which is used to its solid fuel water-cooled reactors. They also use used nuclear fuel (i.e. transuranics in nuclear waste) as fuel, which could be called heretical because recycling nuclear waste was once outlawed in the US by Jimmy Carter (but it no longer is illegal).

Answer: About 3 hours apparently.

Battery life of the Surface Pro 4 is 9 hours. The Surface Book will offer 12 when configured as a laptop. But when the Book's display is detached, it will only achieve 3 hours.
Most likely, they'll get the same results as if they were scanning from an EC2 machine. I doubt Amazon would put it in a trusted (V)LAN.
No, there is built in support for ads in the AMPHTML framework, see:
https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/master/builtins/a...
We haven't disclosed it, but advertising is the bulk.

The problem with paid is three-fold. We're a for-profit company so don't want to come off as taking donations like a non-profit. Second, we don't want to collect personal information. So we could do something like bitcoin but that isn't exactly low-friction :). Third, it is promoting that it exists. We have a hard problem getting the word out about anything not on the SERP and we wouldn't want to put it there.

Open to other ideas though.
Anti-Vaxxers Fund Study That Finds Zero Link Between Vaccinations and Autism
> the users got the idea that Reddit was a bastion of free speech where they could post anything, no matter how offensive

Except they don't - because the people yelling most about "free speech" are the first to throw a hissy fit when someone uses "free speech" to suggest that they're being racist or sexist or whatever. They believe in consequence-free speech, where they get to say whatever they want, and no-one is allowed to talk back, or even ignore them.
Interesting. I feel like there needs to be a rule which forces a stalemate at some point. Currently the only rule is 'when the players agree,'... but if one of them refuses to agree the game could never end until one player just resigns in frustration.

In FIDE chess, there is a rule something along the lines of 'if no pawn moves are made within fifty consecutive turns, the game is a stalemate.' This game should probably have a rule like, 'if no piece crosses the center line within fifty consecutive turns, the game ends.'

Edit... thinking about this more, I really can't think of a situation where the player refusing the stalemate could possibly benefit.
Can you explain 3.?
> That's a nice slogan, but it isn't actually realized anywhere. It's always your choice when there's a clear advantage -- that is, when the state doesn't "know best" about your body. And it absolutely reserves the right control your body for the greater good.

That's true legally, and in theory, but if someone tries to medicate me without my permission I'll leave the country. I can't trust the government with my health given its track record on drugs, the tuskegee experiment, the whole nasty eugenics business, the miserable mess that is psychiatric drugs, and doctor assisted suicide laws, and visitation/commitment rights. It's extremely clear the government does not have my health in its sights but is rather driven by a paternalistic morality supporting existing social and industrial entities. Even paternalistic forces must earn respect before the subordinate cooperates.

NOTE: I was on Risperdal (risperidone) for two years. It made me lactate painfully (I'm male) and I couldn't work well. My thoughts were scattered. I never should have been prescribed it; the positive effects of the drugs I was taking was mostly from the SSRI stabilizing my emotions. Even that is hard to justify given the subtle nature of the perceptual change, its low effect on my actual depression, and the large physical side effects.
Didn't downvote (ok, even gave you an upvote while commenting) but I think you misinterpreted the situation I/we reacted to.
You are free to hold and express your opinion. Nevertheless, it is a fact that all societies on this planet have chosen to regulate speech even when it falls short of being a credible threat of physical violence, even though it makes some of their members flabbergasted.

If, however, you were referring to my use of the term "verbal violence" as opposed to "verbal abuse", it's nothing other than a linguistic mistake on my part. Verbal violence is how verbal abuse is called in my native language.

This isn't really all that useful unless you have a fairly large existing AWS deployment. If you try to open up a new account and order a 50TB storage device without provisioning anything else, they'll probably just refuse you. For normal users, amazon can just hold their AWS account hostage if they fail to return the device.
Good question. I thought we only bundled together the stories about the Surface Pro and Surface Book? Those didn't seem different enough.
