Coded aperture is very interesting, but while it has less mechanical cost without a lens, images will be of lower resolution and more noisy, due to non-uniform power spectral density of the aperture, so the deconvolution (or equalization) will make the more attenuated frequencies noisy.

The problem is once you've tried this "impure" method there is no turning back. Once an ISP finds out they can offer some apps free but make other apps count towards data usage, the whole nature of the internet changes. Note that zero-rating is just one aspect of what mobile networks want to do; before the explosive activism in March, they were being more flagrant and trying to charge extra for each WhatsApp message or add extra charges for Skype calls.

Labeling someone who disagrees with you as being in an "ivory tower" is basically an ad-hominem. Argue the merits, not the source.

> the facts on the ground are 80% of Indians do not have internet access. You sometimes have to try "impure" methods. The question is still up in the air, whether FB Basics is gateway to full internet or if it is a walled garden. Either way, it is better than No Access.

What if a pharma company came and said, "you know, this medicine causes birth defects, but it's OK to push it on Indians because 80% lack decent medication"... would you be for it?

India is making tremendous progress in bringing connectivity to the people. I grew up in an India where telephones were so scarce, that the waiting list for a landline phone was more than 10 years. People in villages had absolutely no access to phones at all; reaching a phone meant taking a bus/train to the nearest big town, and going to a PCO.

And yet today, almost everyone has a cellphone.

By pushing this "walled garden" to the people, FB will capture the market and derail the train of progress. FB has the ability to pay local carriers; but does HN?

Okay, if an activist can contemplate a program giving everyone in India who wants it 500MB a month mobile bandwidth, then I have to call out western web app developers for committing a heinous crimes against global Internet access equality.

It used to be that I could get by with a 500MB plan on my iPhone, and so long as I avoided video streaming, I'd usually use 300MB. Now I see that my Maps apps alone use that in a month, and I run out of 6GB bandwidth every month.

It's a truism that bandwidth is like highway lanes: If it's there, it will be used. But really, am I getting more functionality for the increased bandwidth? I think not.

Debunking myths about artificial intelligence
Not quite -- this guy didn't naked short a put option on Maya crude. The plan was to dynamically hedge the position -- putting on a trading strategy that continuously neutralized the first partial derivative of the payoff function. The problem was the the second partial derivative was left unhedged -- oops! To put it technically, he was delta hedged but not vega hedged. Thus when volatility spiked he lost money. Even worse, he insured 2/3 of Mexico's entire production, so when things got bad there wasn't even enough liquidity to maintain the delta hedge.

A better plan would be to come up with some sort of vega hedge using WTI volatility. WTI vol and Maya vol are correlated so some sort of partial hedge should have been possible, but it's very tricky. This is why other banks were not interested. It sounded like he was either too lazy or arrogant to believe he need to vega hedge and it blew up in his face.

4) Banksters are keener of keeping the billions for themselves and to wage wars all over the planets and to any kind of concept, than to put them to work in the society to some exhilarating project.

Remembers, the millions spent on space exploration are not thrown out of the planet window to literally space! They are spent right here, given to people and making them work.

Instead of having PhD working at McDonalds, (and having less qualified people on unemployment or homeless), you would have PhD working to explore space, and less qualified people working up the jobs PhD don't resign themselves to do.

No, all this money has been used in secret space travel and weapon development programs, and they already have interstellar space ships and people going out there.

The Jörgits is a story about a group of aliens whose planet has become too cold for

crash land in the sea outside of Helsinki in the middle of winter - they're back to the
cold. After making it to the surface they befriend a young girl and her musician father
and together they embark on an adventure to save the world.

Manufacturing also died, so the lower-middle class jobs that were in industry on the outskirts of the cities (that became the suburbs) are gone or going.

I'd love to go back to the rural area I grew up in - it's a much better quality of life, stuff is half or one-quarter of the price they are in an urban area, and there's 1/100th of the population. But there's almost literally no employment opportunities. The one major paper mill in the area is folding, and there's going to be an exodus as the hundreds of people people that work there, and the thousands in the supporting industries, get laid off (not to mention further downstream effects, like school teachers or healthcare workers that become redundant as population crashes). There's nothing that's going to fill that void.

This was pushed by the airlines so that they could maximize revenue. If the ID is not verified, then you can (and do) have a buy-sell ticket market -- which makes it harder for them to extract every tiny cent from their customers.
Whats even more fun is there other major problems approaching on roughly the same timeline...

- Less developed nations will be transitioning to a population crunch (WSJ 2050) with huge ramifications on global economics/politics

- fossil fuels (especially oil) reaching depletion or becoming too expensive to extract

- climate change impact in full swing, serious disruption to even domestic agriculture

- Ubiquitous AI, and all the associated social unrest of a deprecated generation of workers

Ultimately there's just too many people. Society doesn't need 8 billion humans anymore, the US doesn't even need 300 million... Arguably what youre describing is an emergent solution to that problem. Now we've reached the point where the next generation will need to support their parent's slow death instead of raising the next generation of children... That's going to wreck society's ownership of the future in a big way.

So you’re fine with the idea that every time you load news​.ycombi​na​tor​.com your ISP charges you $0.10 extra, but if you load TMZ​.com it’s free? That would not be “the internet” in my books, and I’m glad that across the world, from Obama & the FCC to India, people are standing steadfast to endorse net neutrality.

As for why there’s no turning back: for most of the internet’s history we’ve had ‘de facto’ net neutrality so we can codify the regulations without disruption. As soon as ISPs get habituated to pricing usage based on the app, it will be difficult to put the genie back in the bottle.
Does this explain the starbucks across from the starbucks?
I find the idea quite interesting, so interesting that I implemented my own version already over a year ago.

While I also started with aggregating only the top sites and so on, I found it quite "unpleaseant" that it lists all of the news-items in that way. I tried to make another ranking of the news and also tried to get more factors into the formula.

At the end there was a custom crawler, a special API using Solr and a custom Frontend [1] in two versions [2] which aggregates everything together.

I have also open-sourced the frontend [3][4]. If you have fun, have a look into that, but unfortunately the source-code diverged from the frontend Reader [1] a bit, because I started refactoring the db-schema and had not time to update my repositories yet. The second frontend [2] just happend because I was curious about the abilities of Foundation from Zurb. Works really well, btw. Also from your smartphone.

I plugged all of that into a machine learning algorithm too and let everything classify - online and in realtime. And renamed it to babbleaway, because the name "Newscombinator" was a bit too... well... fill in a word of your choice. The HN Community was not so pleased :)

In case there are questions, feel free to ask.

Merry Christmas.

> Either way, it is better than No Access.

I see this as a false dilemma. Internet access in India is already cheap enough to be near the cost of a phone over its effective lifetime. To quote the linked post:

> Given that data packages cost as little as Rs. 20 a month while phones cost Rs. 2,000 and up, we think their thesis itself is flawed

So the group that free basics can help to get online are those for whom the cost of a phone is feasible but paying the cost of a phone ×2 or ×3 for internet access is not. This is a relatively narrow fraction of the population.

Activists in India see that there are other reasonable alternatives to connect the entire population of the country that do not encourage the digital enslavement of their poor. The simplest one is a marginal improvement of per capita income that is driven by the people of the country itself, not exploitative "charity" from a foreign company. In very short order this, and the decreasing cost of technology will allow the whole net to reach everyone who could benefit today from free basics.

The false dilemma "better this than nothing" comes from a distant ivory tower that does not respect the capacity and future of the people of these developing nations. There are other ways to full access that do not sacrifice human rights.
The question is still up in the air, whether FB Basics is gateway to full internet or if it is a walled garden.

I think it's a gateway to popularising tunneling; as long as FB lets those using FB Basics and those accessing FB from the full Internet communicate, you can still send information through. It's just like using FB as a proxy. Given that and what I know about Indian ingenuity, I predict a lot more hacks like this will appear:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9203946

So I suppose in some respects you could think of FB Basics as a very heavily throttled full Internet connection. You could even argue that FB and all the other companies giving "free" non-net-neutral access is driving incentive to hack around these restrictions, which I think is not at all a bad thing.

One useful thing, not currently used due to space, weight, and power issues, most of which would be minimal issues on the moon, is the Bosch reaction. Basically, CO2 + H2 => C + H2O. Split the H2O(water), and you get back the H2 to reuse in the Bosch reaction, and breathable O2.

On this note, some stats for perspective:

1) 30% of Americans have a college degree of any kind (inc. associates, etc.)
2) Median household income is $50k yearly nationwide. It's $50k in NYC and $70k in SF.
3) Median single person income is $32k nationwide.
Yeah, maybe your N=1 causation hypothesis isn't all that well reasoned.

This concept is absolutely false. With a proper setup, you should be able to ride all you want without anything "wearing out". Bodies don't "wear out", in fact they respond well when stress is applied correctly. It gets harder as you age, but that's an orthogonal issue. Injury and recovery is part of being active.

I've done 10 Ironmans and seen many, many people in their 40s, 50s, 60s happily cranking out miles and ending up looking younger than when they started. What wears bodies out is not using them.

Why are suburbs awful places? I'd much rather live in a small city or large town with suburban-like neighborhoods than the over-priced and tiny apartments of a large city. 80K here is like 120K in a metro area, and I don't have to pay for parking or take public transportation.
That says nothing about whether or not they have a retirement fund. When I was fresh out of college for the first few years that described me to a T, but I still had money going into a 401k every month.
From my Indian friends on Facebook, it appears Facebook is showing messages that certain friends of yours are supporting, or signed up for Facebook basics, even if they never did anything of the sort.

It's creepy, and messed up.

Edit: (Leaving the original post untouched), it appears Facebook will show you as having supported Free Basics if you clicked polls which seemed completely unrelated (as the original article points out, polls about "Connected India" for example. Still quite a distance from having supported Free basics, which is what Facebook appears to show.
