Looking at it a different way, I find this initiative rather heartening. A lot of AI applications have been extensions of mechanical efficiency--doing more with fewer people. More than a few people are worried about the consequences of this progression since there's not an obvious place for displaced workers to go the way manufacturing has soaked up agricultural works in the past.

The authors of the manifesto seem to be concerned with avoiding some of the obviously bad possible outcomes of widespread AI use by explicitly looking for ways that it can also change society for the better. Just being able to articulate what we mean "by benefitting humanity as a whole" would already be a good contribution.

I'm not sure what your comment adds and if I'm reading it right there is a lot of information that's just blatantly wrong

I cant discuss your whole comment because it's long and I'm on a phone.

"If you issue your auth cookies to .example.com and the / path don't be surprised why ever XSS and other client side attacks end up compromising your users, you can have 100 XSS's in your site, you can have a shitty CORS policy and if your cookies are issued and restricted properly it's more likely than not that those vuln's could not be leveraged to compromised your users' sessions (not through a classic session theft that is)."

There is so much wrong about this paragraph. Who needs session theft in the scenario you provide..

If you have 100s of XSS on your site and a bad CORs policy there is a lot an attacker can do... Data exfiltration is very easy if you can execute js and so are things like XSRF.

A correct path and domain setting for cookies is important but web security is a lot harder than your acting like it is..

re the milk analogy:
They can just make a rule that you can only get the milk and sugar if you purchase the coffee? Which, seems like is basically the case?

They can include a contract thingy before showing the content for the first time if they want. If I intentionally agree to not block ads, I don't think I'm going to violate that agreement.

But I haven't made an agreement like that, so my choice to allow ads to run is not due to any obligation.

I choose not to block ads, indeed, partially so that the websites receive payment. (perhaps partially also due to laziness though) But I also "defend" (insofar as my comments on the internet can do so) the right to block ads if one so chooses, and has not explicitly made an agreement not to.

In the same way that a person who views a donation funded website is not obligated to donate, hoping instead that it will be funded by other people who donate, a person who views a website which is ad supported is not obligated to view the ads, hoping instead that other people (such as myself) will view the ads.

Ads are* a donation, not a purchase.

*in the absence of a contract

This looks incredibly interesting. I'd love to see what a compiler looks like in this system.

It also was interesting to see him mess up the overcharging query I would have liked to see a more realistic debugging situation.
I understand your argument, but I see two other possibilities:

1) Drivers remain liable for actions taken by their car's AI. This would encourage people to only use truly driverless AI in the safest possible conditions, ie not on crowded streets or when its raining. This will let market forces balance the technological development of the cars with public adoption

2) After initial legal precedents for damages are set, some companies will make enough money to insure a large fleet of autonomous vehicles. And again, market forces will be able to pace the tradeoff between how "safe" the AI technology is vs how quickly its adopted.

tldr; an authoritarian government isn't necessary to push this particular technology forward. As much as I hate to say it, the Free Market will do just fine in this case
The Flash (Running to Stand Still) Summary and Review
Sure that is the general belief.

Free speech in China is limited compared to the west. Even though you can see public outcry comment on the factory explosion in Tianjin and the recent smog in Beijing.

But what is mostly missing from the picture are the collosal improvements in public safety, pollution, health that has happened in the country over the past decades. These improvements are far larger than anything we have done in the west. And are a result of directed government policy.

Why would the Chinese government allow self-driving cars that kills people just because it can censor Twitter?

I got where you were coming from. I just think it's crap when someone is gleeful about being offensive, then doesn't own that. I don't really care about sharp elbows in words, as long as people own them.

> Your perception of a hateful slur on my part

Speaking of 'creating false arguments', where did I say (or imply) 'hateful slur'? Why do you get to paraphrase me and at the same time object to being paraphrased?

My point is that you take joy in something being offensive, then don't own that. It wasn't meant to devolve into all this, but you seem to not be getting my point just as you think I haven't gotten yours.

> And now the poor horse is nothing but a bloody pile of meat. Satisfied?

Fwiw, William Gibson would visit the City of Darkness in search of inspiration for his dystopic cityscapes. Here's a description from Idoru (1997):

> There was a place near an airport, Kowloon, when Hong Kong wasn't China, but there had been a mistake, a long time ago, and that place, very small, many people, it still belonged to China. So there was no law there. An outlaw place. And more and more people crowded in; they built it up, higher. No rules, just building, just people living. Police wouldn't go there. Drugs and whores and gambling. But people living, too. Factories, restaurants. A city. No laws.

I mean, if you get users to specifically and intentionally agree to not block your ads, then I would say they are obligated to not block your ads. (say, for example, a cookie-based "do you agree to not block ads on this website" thing for first time users)

But at any point before that, as far as ads go, I think users have the right to run what software they will. Though I choose not to block ads.
In Russia, communists won the Civil War precisely because they were talking about the new utopia.

Because, the other side said: "we will win the war and then decide what to build". That's why I even struggle name them, other than "white" (as opposed to communist "red").
It absolutely is dishonest, and quite possibly fraud. There is absolutely no reason why we should allow this to happen, either.

I would not mind ads at all but ads are not really ads: they are trackers, beacons, analytics, and privacy busting cookies with none of the above asking for permission.

I worked for the Federal government for a number of years, and those employees are not stealing anything. It is how the government works. It is the most wasteful, incompetent organization I have ever had the misfortune of working for. I too fully support anything companies and people can do, within the law, to avoid paying taxes because the Federal government is capable of living on much, much less. They just refuse to do it.

Industry 4.0 and IoT
Yes, in a way. It's both a blessing and a curse. I definitely learn a lot of cool stuff from browsing here, and I enjoy the comments and discussion (most of the time). I would definitely say HN has added value to my life. BUT... on the flip side, yeah, it has also added stress and fear and confusion, etc in other ways.

The feeling of needing to churn constantly to "keep up" with tech is probably exacerbated by hanging out here so much. And I find myself drawn off onto a lot of tangents, reading books or papers or articles or something that I found here, that aren't necessarily something that I Really Need To Do Right Now. And since I want to learn every programming language, use every database, try every tool, play with every neat new gadget, etc., that I come across, I definitely feel overwhelmed sometimes and HN adds to that.

But, I figure it it wasn't HN, it'd be something else. I subscribe to the Apache Incubator mailing list and just the new project proposals there leave me with the same feeling sometimes. And if I wasn't on HN, I'd be on Reddit or something, or even just checking Google News, and I'd still feel overwhelmed and frustrated at times. I've just kinda learned to deal with it. shrug

This is not an Akamai competitor.

You'll know an Akamai competitor when you see it as it will handle video and large files.

This Google offering is limited to files below 4MB, which precludes most video.

Really this is a CloudFront competitor, but even then... it is only offering a very basic set of features to do with the caching, rather than anything else CloudFront is doing.

Further, the logic of what is cached is very basic: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/cd...

This all serves one goal: Reduce your Google bill by caching more and preventing it reach the server. How it does this is extremely basic, and it has limitations (check the cache invalidation gotchas).

The best way to reduce your Google, Amazon S3, and other bills remains to use a CDN in front of it that is cheaper than the storage behind it. The basic features of that you should care about is how easy is it get stuff into cache, serve it over https:// and invalidate it at will. Advanced features should look at DDoS costs (are you paying when you get attacked?), whether there are PoPs/edges where your market is, and then anything specific to your product, though you've usually made a selection before you get this far.
Actually it isn't at all: WTFPL only gives you license to the license, not to the actual code. Read it carefully.
My dream is that I hope to see the emergence of a viable minarchist or anarchist society

Same here, but I'm not very optimistic right this minute.
Cloudfront is not available in China. We had to implement a small CDN for a large ecommerce website.
What we did was use geo-ip route 53 and route chinese ips to load balanced nginx instances caching the cloudfront cdn.

What compounds the problem with China is that the chinese are very much used to requesting an english language variant of the webstore as its often cheaper. This circumvents the CDN however as all stateful requests are routed to foreign servers making their experience really slow.

Also there's the chinese web license process that you have to go through to even host a website in china.
Evaluates like PureScript, so no, it's eagerly evaluated. Not quite sure about the TCO part though.
Wanna hear about the journalist who said that WordPress wasn't capable of handling 50k requests? And that proper caching is useless? And that static site generators were the way to go because it couldn't? And that caching doesn't make things static? And that jekyll is designed to be used on windows, but not the "500 gems" it installs?

I digress.
If you have XSS you can take control over many things including the browser whats your point?

Using a CDN on a sub domain will not affect the security of your cookies if you issue them properly, it should not even be a consideration given the privilege level you already grant your CDN provider.
I don't think of Capitalism as being a political agenda or agency in that way. I think of it more as a law of nature. You can't say that Capitalism deserves credit for anything, or saves anyone any more than you can say that gravity or Newtons laws of motion deserve credit for anything. In this account, political ideologies or principles that attempt to replace or supersede citalism end up just reorganising it. So communism doesn't get rid of capitalism at all, it just harnesses it to the party in the form of state capitalism.

Looking at it this way, you're quite right that The Enlightenment, science, egalitarianism and democracy deserve the credit because they are choices we make. They are motivating and organisational forces we have control over and so can be credited with achievements. When an Engineer builds a bridge we celebrate the skill of the engineer and the educational and organizational forces that made the project possible, not the laws of physics.

In this way of thinking, there is no such thing as an end to capitalism. Anyone talking about the future in that way is simply asking the wrong questions. They can't see the wood for the trees.
Please don't; by using it you aren't actually granting a license to your code at all but rather only to the license file itself. Read it carefully.
Perhaps, but it's really really hard to make money from news. Second, the hyperlocal approach has been tried repeatedly flamed out.
Thanks. I have altered my comment.
Read the last line.
this is not as scary as it sounds, because of that "annoying" uefi secure boot that ships by default on oem windows machines these days.

a trusted boot chain means you can't put malware at the start without a much more sophisticated attack than this.
If the content you've created is so awesome, charge money for it.

As far as I'm concerned, web advertising is on the same level as spam, and it's preying on the same group of end users. In fact, web advertising might even be sleazier than spam, because spam doesn't track people around the internet.

Does this mean that you support Apple's iAd platform? It's basically what you want: Apple serves the ads themselves to the devices they already know about, and the third parties don't get to know a thing about those devices. (They just have to trust Apple to e.g. actually be matching their inventory to the demographics they request.)
The paper mentions it's unfair to humans to have to tell say a coucal from an indigo bunting (both blue coloured birds). I've never heard of either so I guess I would have got that wrong but it's not the fault of my visual system.

The political process has limits. There's such a thing as political capital and there's only so much of it at any given time.

Most people seem to think that shit is unlimited, that we could just fix everything all at once if the politicians just knew what it was.

That's emphatically not the case. Issues all get their time in the sun, and the political fix is almost never perfect. The issues you compared social video games to, slavery et. al. all were banned, rightfully, a long time ago.

When I say that this is "commerce as usual" I mean that the market will sort out the complained-about issues itself, without the need for a law. Legislation is a complicated, tortuous affair. Society needs many, many individual events to draw on in order to draft effective legislation. Someone has to study this stuff in order to write a law, someone has to convince others to vote for the law. None of this is free, it all comes at the expense of other issues needing attention at the moment. Votes get traded like horses.

In this case, political attention isn't needed, at least not yet. There are way too many other issues that beg attention.
If I were going with blocking at the router, I'd recommending finding a router that has an accessible host file and add them there. Either that or ipset + iptables (not as recommended for ad blocking since you're likely blocking by hostname and not IP).

After I gave up, someone with more influence came along and bigfooted the issue.

And the Tool Support section - the most valuable part of the page, and which I vehemently contend constitutes essential secondary source material - remains deleted. It took me 15 minutes of digging through the page history to find it, which I'd never do if I didn't already know it was there.

Come on, bootkits are hardly new. You can detect them by just like you'd detect a rootkit, as they rather rarely cover each and every system API that can reveal its presence, and you remove them by firdt booting into an alternative OS, which most AV vendors provide.

For malware to be really tricky to remove you'd have to start infecting hardware firmware like BIOS or harddrive controllers, like IRATEMONK or IRONCHEF from NSA TAO do.
