Off and on I've made an attempt like this before, turning an external hard drive into an offline repository of things I find interesting.

I used to go through artists and download paintings, photos of international landmarks, books, games, classic shorts, tutorials, etc. with the idea that maybe it'd be useful someday, or a digital archaeologist might somehow run into it sometime. Some of it came straight from Project Gutenberg and Archive.org.

I wasn't very good at keeping up with it, though, but I still think that people rely on the omnipresence of broadband a little too often sometimes. I do still have the archive, though.

I'd love to have some sort of tap where I can just download a whole ton of this crap, possibly curated. Bit torrent is basically that, but its focus is on the new hotness and a hell of a lot less on the classics.

Even a blog that compiles a bunch of random open source stuff into a torrent and shares them with people would be nice. I can find this stuff individually, but that takes a lot of time and hunting.
Why are there no other companies offering the same?
If we force people to drive more by underfunding public transit then number of miles driven is going to go up due to public policy not personal choices.

Ooh, I like this!

However, I feel like it would be weird for people to adopt, and probably put people off of Twitter, since paying attention to a 1-1 limit is annoying enough.
News to me. what is your source?
Is there any data about the police themselves ? Male vs. female officer, with or without partner, length of service, age, etc. ?
I mentioned the apocalypse smartphone concept to a guy on reddit once, and he immediately made sotheworldhasended.com and set up a wikimedia for it.

I figure the idea has SOME legs... How many people go on those survival weekend things?
In my un-informed opinion the difference between your daughter learning a new language and you is that your mind is full of thoughts. "Gotta pay those bills tonight", "gotta plan that vacation", "Gotta solve that problem at work", "gotta stop and get groceries"....

At least that's my experience. My mind gets more and more busy with racing thoughts the older I get. It's hard to put that aside because the older we are the more responsibilities we generally have (and or worries)

That's the long way of saying age has nothing to do with your daughter doing better at language. Rather it's that her mind has far less distractions.

ps: yes I know there is research on this topic but I have not personally found it compelling

>So their predictions are wrong, but yours are correct?

Wrong/correct? We're talking about predictions, so let's talk about probability.

In the course of 20 years is it more probable that life will look more like it does today or that AI will make us all jobless?

That is why I'm "more likely" right and Elon is "more likely" wrong.

I'll put money down on it. If, in 10 years, it only takes 1 employee per shift to run an entire McDonalds, I'll give you $1,000.

And yes, I don't believe your single factor over-fit models prove anything about global warming. I'll put money down on that too.
Assuming you can get this 1000-years-proof Wikipedia laptop down to $50 a piece, that's still 1 Wikipedia printout per 10 000 people buying the laptop. If people were buying that machine as much as they're buying smartphones, that would be equal to having a printed copy of Wikipedia in every city in the world.

I think you're generalizing what current software venture capital looks like to all of VC. Historically the types of companies discussed in the article did get funding from VCs (Fairchild Semiconductor, Intel, Genentech, etc.) Maybe VCs are caught up on the appeal of the world of bits over the world of atoms. Software companies certainly require less capital, but that doesn't mean that companies with a physical product can't be huge paydays as well. I also don't think that requiring a large amount of capital means that problems and solutions are not difficult or unique. Biotech requires lots of capital, but I don't think anyone would say biotech products are easy to create or cookie cutter to come up with.

There is likely a market for cartoony style 3d games.

You can also adapt many AAA games to 3d glasses with minimal issues. The physics and models are unchanged just a 'minor' change to the UI and renderer.
No problem! Of course the really awesome feature would be the ability to drag piles of cards and have it automatically determine whether there is enough space up top to do the swaps. (ie if you have 3 spaces open at the top-left, you can drag a 6543 onto a 7 in one step.) Similarly automatically putting cards up on the top right once they're exposed and there are no lower-value cards left. Obviously those would be rather more work though!
Since they have their advertising bots and learning machines reading all that stuff all of the time, it would only be a matter of time before they shut that hole (if it gained a decent amount of popularity)

It was effective because it was easy for people to imagine someone typing recipes into a computer by projecting an imagined present into the future. I say "imagined" because fewer people were actively typing recipes at the time than burning their bras and if there was going to be an interest in automating the task, then people would already have been typing recipes.

The thing about an elevator pitch is even though it's wrong there's no way that a future of blockchains and advertising technology and cat videos on Facebook can be compelling.

Yet, I've thought about it a bit more. Somewhat sadly, The best pitch elevator pitch to those with lawyers, guns and money is to automate some mundane task. And what worked was: it can accurately calculate the ballistic trajectory of high explosives and thus thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy. And so it goes.

The weirdest part of today's exercise is that mobile phone app stores seem to have brought back an age when ideas equivalent to typing recipes into a computer seem attractive. There's a lot of make work that adds intermediating complexity...we get an obligation to manage my personal brand on social media and keep our contacts and resumes up to date and like our friends' photos of Esther the Wonderpig.

"like how dangerous tasers are."

Taser stats can be a bit deceiving. In the vast majority of cases where a taser is deployed the individual is in a drug-induced state with increased heart activity. Combine that with the escalating situation and the individual's heart rate is often higher than if they were just in the drug-induced state. These individuals are often highly combative at the time the taser is deployed. Given normal circumstances a taser deployment on these individuals most likely would not result in any harm. However, combine that deployment with the increased heart activity and adrenaline going through the individuals system and it becomes a recipe for disaster.

To generalize and say that tasers are dangerous does not take into account the entire picture of events or situation at hand. It's not the taser itself that is dangerous it is the situation the individual has placed themselves in that causes the danger.
How a puddle in Newcastle became a national talking point
His point is we're picking and choosing when and how to interfere with peoples' destructive behaviors.

My mother is allowed to be a drunk, nobody cares how it impacted my childhood. I'm allowed to have trust issues, though it impacts my relationships. I'm allowed to overeat though it might impact my childrens' view of obesity, likelihood to be obese, and finances if they have to support me later. Etc etc.

We've chosen to not allow people to play poker online, to protect them from themselves, but it's a rather arbitrary thing to choose, especially given all the other ways they can destroy their finances.

We can't protect everyone from being exploited in every manner, and it could probably be argued that we ought to quit trying in a lot of cases. IMO it's generally not our place to protect people from themselves.
I was fascinated with sleeping patterns in college, and I came across that book. I decided to try out the sleeping pattern, and it's really an incredible experience. The time between first sleep and second sleep is really cool. Very meditative. Incredible lonely, yet peaceful. I'd recommend that people try it out.

I had my first at 41, second at 43. Those where my 'mid life crises' babies, best thing ever (I made PEOPLE!). My wife just turned 40. We met 5 years ago. We were both older, and wanted children. Conceiving was a bit of a challenge, we had to work at it. Plus neither of us had children before, so neither of us knew if we were even able. Worked out for us in the end, we were very fortunate.
For the past year the black/white issue has dominated the discussion of police violence, not male/female.

That 97% of those killed by police are male but on 52% of the population is male seems too be in a large part justified by the fact that men commit 90% of the murders and a similar fraction of other violent crimes.

Given the dominant media narrative that cops are unfairly targeting blacks it was bit surprising to find that only 26% of those killed by cops are blacks when blacks commit 52% of murders and similar amount of other violent crimes. This is new information to me.

Unfortunately any rational discussion of the racial dimension of police violence or crine generally is difficult even on HN so I expect to be down voted or even called a racist for the 1st time in my life.

My personal view is that U.S. policing is in need of reform as it is ineffective, too costly and overly violent. This would be difficult but benefit everyone.

Thank you very much! That makes a lot of sense and I'll try to focus on those.
Is it?

It may seem that way to a white dude (I'm a white dude, and I suffered from the delusion that tech communities were inclusive for decades), surrounded by white dudes. You're not alone...lots of people think tech is inclusive. I always assumed that our communities were more welcoming than usual, despite the evidence to the contrary in the form of such low historic participation by women and people of color in tech.

But, I've been told it is true from enough women and people of color that I believe it to be true. It's been discussed at great lengths by women and people of color on blogs, on mailing lists, on twitter, etc. I'm not sure what it would take to convince you, but I probably don't have the words to do it, so I'm not gonna try.

For people who acknowledge that our communities do not have a history of being inclusive, it is probably useful to post a CoC in order to signal that we are aware of that history of sexism and racism and acknowledge our willingness to take responsibility for it when it happens in communities we manage, if even in a small way.

Fantasy is legal because of this text of in the UIGEA

`(D) does not include--

`(ix) participation in any fantasy or simulation sports game or educational game or contest in which (if the game or contest involves a team or teams) no fantasy or simulation sports team is based on the current membership of an actual team that is a member of an amateur or professional sports organization (as those terms are defined in section 3701 of title 28) and that meets the following conditions:

`(I) All prizes and awards offered to winning participants are established and made known to the participants in advance of the game or contest and their value is not determined by the number of participants or the amount of any fees paid by those participants.

`(II) All winning outcomes reflect the relative knowledge and skill of the participants and are determined predominantly by accumulated statistical results of the performance of individuals (athletes in the case of sports events) in multiple real-world sporting or other events.

`(III) No winning outcome is based--

`(aa) on the score, point-spread, or any performance or performances of any single real-world team or any combination of such teams; or

`(bb) solely on any single performance of an individual athlete in any single real-world sporting or other event.
It's not though. As a kid I had a habit of trying to get out of putting my seat belt on. It was uncomfortable and I didn't understand at the time why I needed to be uncomfortable when I could stretch across the back seat without it. It just so happens that not wearing seat belts is something that society (at least in the US) has dictated that one must be protected from doing. I learned that as I learned other things growing up and accepted it and moved on. Granted I can understand and decide now to wear a seat belt myself, but it's still a behavior that society has decided we needed legislation on.

I'm sure somebody can point to a flaw of mine and say we need to regulate that, and they very well might be right. If I'm particularly obstinate about the topic I might resist, but that doesn't mean that it isn't something that should be legislated. That being said, I'm not calling for widespread legislation to protect us all from our problems, I'm just pointing out that it is a valid opinion to desire more government regulation on personal behaviors. Although it is an uncommon opinion.

Actually plenty of regular people would be OK with it, but the bad guys would just use another system.

As long as there's a choice in systems (and there is, and will always be), these types of systems only hurt the good guys.
> There's always been a question about whether a program is something alive or not since it intrinsically has some kind of autonomy at the very least, or it wouldn't be a program.

Huh? A program, by definition, has no autonomy. Given its inputs, it performs the appropriate sequence of actions it has been programmed to perform. At no point is it governing its own behavior.

Can anybody name a single realizable program that exhibits autonomy?

Even machine learning algorithms, which adapt to their input, are deterministic and incapable of self-governance. Given identical initial conditions and inputs, the machine learning program will generate identical deterministic output.

> In both cases, people think they will make money because they are smart, when they actually will lose money because they are dumb.

I don't agree with this sentence. Ponzi scheme people probably don't feel smart, rather they've been mislead into thinking they have an opportunity to invest in something where they can't lose. And participants in DFS don't lose based on their intelligence, generally speaking.

To answer your question, though, Ponzi scheme participants are being intentionally misled by fraudsters, where DFS participants are willingly gambling of their own accord. That's the difference in palatability.

Cost. Switching would cost a ton of time and money, which is probably better spent in securing streaming rights for popular shows, creating their own shows, and marketing to increase their subscriber base.
The content creators need to be separate from the content distributers. This way there is lower incentive for either to perform manipulative actions. With Facebook providing the content and the service at a low price (free in this case) they are setting up a model where the poor are funneled into there definition of applicable content. Sure some people upgrade, it is there argument, but at what cost. If Facebook really is trying to improve the world, they they should invest in a sustainable infrastructure for the poor with full access to the internet. Is it going to piss of people who pay for it, yes, but does it empower the poor to have tools they didn't have before and give everyone an opportunity to improve these regions, yes it does. The cynic in me though thinks its just gonna create a generation of poor people addicted to Facebook and online video. I just spent 4 months living in Shenzhen China and man are the shopkeepers addicted to playing video games and watching soap operas on there computers.Thats all they do.... all day. The internet is really only a tool for businesses and motivated individuals, for the rest its just another way to be manipulated.
It's not in the same way at all.

Google Fiber is real internet; 'free internet basics' are an attempt to turn the internet into a walled garden.
(my) reasons to wait:

- touch controllers not available yet

- Valve/HTC Vive may be considerably better -- wait for solid reviews of consumer units together with the games we're interested in

- AMD & NVidia will have card refreshes in a similar time frame. These refreshes finally move to a new process, from 28nm to 14nm FinFET, so the performance increase should be quite massive. This means that a mid-range video card should be enough.
