It's the price of land. If you give people basic income the price of land will rise to consume all other disposable income.

Land value tax.
Or in this case the opposite.
Students are busy - they are attending classes, doing homework and studying for tests. When they have free time, it's unsurprising that they don't have much excess mental energy or money for pursuing hobbies. And even then it seems to me that a lot of activist groups are mainly student-run. So I don't think you're right.

Keep in mind you're also ensuring the integrity of the document is kept and the user has (to some degree) a good idea that the document is actually from you. Confidentiality is only one aspect. I think a couple of ISPs in the US were injecting ads/content at one point into pages served over HTTP.

In fairness, in my own notes, formulas are rare. The only thing close to drawing in my notes is a spider diagram and MindNode is probably a lot easier and friendlier than pen and paper for that.

To understand recursion, you must understand recursion.
It's because they have a much larger stack size than a human brain (which does not have a stack at all, but just various kinds of short term memories). An expert Go player can realistically maybe consider 2-3 moves into the future and can have a rough idea about what will happen in the coming 10 moves, while this method does tree search all the way to the end of the game on multiple alternative paths for each move.
I don't see how it should affect the perception of his skill. Presumably AlphaGo could beat any player ranked at his skill level or lower, in which case AlphaGo beating him says no more about his skill level than his ranking does.
I had one year without benefits, and the rest is because there is such a high unemployment country and such a high ratio unemployed/agency employees, that they can't really control anything.
cf "Adecade ago, I stood alongside my 99 fellow freshmen as we were welcomed into the ranks of medicine in a ''white coat ceremony.'' Here, on our first day of med school, we were presented with the short white coats that proclaimed us part of the mystery and the discipline of medicine.

Brewing? It got propped up by all the toxic MBSes being transferred onto the Fed's balance sheet, which they're still planning on rolling over (as of today's FOMC guidance). The housing bubble should have popped in '08, its practically a zombie at this point.

"The Committee is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction, and it anticipates doing so until normalization of the level of the federal funds rate is well under way. This policy, by keeping the Committee's holdings of longer-term securities at sizable levels, should help maintain accommodative financial conditions."

I wish it were easier to avoid their use

There are things you can do to reduce their need. A few things off the top of my head:

* Take shoes off at the front door (like Japan and a few other civilized places).

* Do not let the kids get on their beds wearing street clothes.

* Use hot baths and peroxide (in the ear) to help kill infection before it is so advanced that it requires antibiotics.

Of course, those things take work and are inconvenient, something many Americans seem allergic to. But if you really want to reduce antibiotic use, it absolutely can be done.
The full title is, "Monday January 25, 2016 Poll
Why are submarines demagnetized?" and the article starts off with the results of Monday's poll. So the article we're ready today is a response to the results of the poll, but the site administrators kept the poll question as part of the title.
I agree. Good engineering is about efficient outcomes.

The 10x meme is a software thing. From my experience as an engineer outside of software it is rare to be working on something by yourself mostly you are part of a team and you get the best results by leveraging the strengths of each engineer in the team.

To use the example in this thread Dan is the engineering manager, he assigns the latest project to Clyde. Clyde knows he is going to require some modelling work and that Alice is the CFD expert so he asks her to model some cases for him. He recalls that Bob worked on a similar problem for a different client a few years ago so he wanders over to Bob's desk to chat with him about what worked and what didn't. During the conversation Bob mentions he read a recent paper that might be relevant...

Clyde doesn't need to be 10x as efficient as Alice or Bob because he knows they can get more done by cooperating then by competing. That is efficiency in action.
This is true for many companies, but in the case of gross negligence[1], simply the action of her cashing out could be securities fraud and/or grounds for clawing back the money she took out.

"...There aren't any real benefits to a "finger prick" other than marketing spin..."

"...regular draws but used the best trained phlebotomists who can find the vein on the first stick..."

That's the advantage of a finger prick. You don't need to be a trained phlebotomist to do it. The microfluidics drove the idea that you only needed "a few drops" to perform the tests (since drawing 100mL out of a finger would take forever). Put those two together and you had the concept of a test that any semi-skilled person could perform in a drugstore. That was the hook Theranos was banking on.
So much this. We've see this over and over. If we get more productive the rentiers take it. We need to squash the rentier starting with land value tax. And stop taxing labour.

Then you have the true choice because you can achieve financial autonomy through work and then tell the man where he can stick his job if he refuses to pass on enough of your value added.

Cheaper land will see less people forced to work which will mean higher wages and more disposable income. And all the people doing nothing other than "investing" in extorting money from workers for the right to occupy space will have to suck it up.

This topic basically terrifies me. When I see people asking for basic income without addressing land issues (and money creation) it just shows they are on the wrong track. Big time. Basic income will just become "landlord income". In the UK we have "housing benefit" which sets a floor on rent and guarantees land owners get more than the market can support. It's "landlord benefit".

There's also a part 2.
Integrity protection. There are a lot of ways to instruct someone to configure their web server in a way that is subtly insecure, not to mention attacks like http://thejh.net/misc/website-terminal-copy-paste

It'd be slightly nice if we were able to have integrity-protected HTTP without encryption (lower overhead, easier debugging with packet dumps), but the advantages are minimal (ciphers are not really the overhead, SSLKEYLOGFILE is a thing) and it's a lot of complexity to the web platform, which is a downside for web developers like you and me: the rules for mixed content between HTTP, HTTPI, and HTTPS are going to be much more involved and confusing.
I've just replayed them as well.

You can see that in the first game the bot played really solidly without risk-taking and didn't want to lose even a few stones. You could say that it played very conservatively but solidly. It won by a tiny margin (2.5) so Fan Hui probably concluded that the bot would win every game by a similar small margin if he didn't change the style of play. I'm sure that in the first game Fan Hui was sounding the bot out for strengths and weaknesses, seeing if it knew all the tesujis and josekis and whatnot.

So from then on you see Fan Hui trying to mix it up and play more aggressively and what is very interesting is that he got outplayed in every game, even to the point of losing a big group and resigning.

So - if you play conservatively and tentatively and solidly it'll beat you by a sliver, if you try to out-think it it'll nail you. At least at the 2dan pro level.

I'd be hesitant for calling a Lee Sedol victory ahead of time. We know that in chess Kasparov beat IBM's bot initially but then IBM tweaked and within a couple of years the bot was too strong. Even though go is much harder than chess I predict that if Google lose this time and if they don't lose by much they'll win the time after that.

For #2, is Stockfish implicitly discovering things that a human might explicitly recognize and articulate (e.g. that the pawn structure has an outsized impact on the value of certain pieces)?

If so, could it be just as easily programmed to answer those questions as it evaluates moves? That is, it seems the information is there to form those answers, but it's not the question the AI has been asked.
The overwhelming majority of these studies study these effects only in pill/supplement form. It's unknown if whole foods with the same vitamins present the same problems. IIRC, there's research suggesting whole foods are superior to vitamin pills (though I don't recall off the top of my head.)
A lot of assumptions that I think distract from the important - understanding the need vs solution first thinking.

The business might not be out to build their slack, chat could just be enough of a transformer alone. Besides, Slack is IRC client re-skinned with a bit different rendering. It's not the first either but maybe a business case is good enough to just chat as a big improvement.

Many organizations do just fine using something like Microsoft Lync, as much as I like Slack it's not for all users or instances.
I don't show sympathy to people who have no track record as researchers, have never published their data or methods for peer review, over hype all their work, and rely on cute stories to get funding rather than good work.

I'm working on a hematological microfluidic diagnostic device in a loosely related space (which actually works), and if my team had her funding we would be flying right now. Too bad we aren't attractive women with inspiring stories so we have to settle for grant funding.
Okay, I misread that piece, what I read was that the software is ranked as Amateur dan.

My point stands: If your title says "beats champion" and you don't qualify champion, that's major link bait. The european champion is only 2p, versus the best players being all 9p ranked.
Whenever you read the word "may" in the title of an article about a scientific study, you should mentally fill in the end..."then again, it may not"
My only question is: why are you doing this? You're taking out the fun of the game just to prove yourselves?
Perhaps - I wish the article went into more detail on annual disbursement size across the different tribes. It could be the case that certain basic incomes exacerbate poverty (e.g. the $1200 that Mike Justice receives from the Siletz tribe), while other basic incomes (say, hypothetically, 1.5x the poverty line) drastically improve quality of life.
Stumbled upon Kloudsec here on HN couple days ago [1] and gave it a go. The dashboard is a bit clunky where you kinda have to figure out what to do, but HTTPS works without needing to move the DNS to them, as in case of Cloudflare (which costs 20$ when moving from Gandi).

Basically register account, enter your domain, update your DNS records with an A (replacing the Github pages IP) and TXT record (for verification).

While the change in DNS was in couple minutes on Gandi, Kloudsec DNS took an hour or two to register the change. After that, you go in the "Security plugin" and enable it. If you're using an apex domain, you can remove the www. HTTPS request, since you won't get the cert for that (if you do have an apex domain then you probably know about the CNAME trick on Pages, unless your DNS provider supports ANAME or ALIAS records for the apex domain - Gandi doesn't). It took couple hours again to get the cert.

When it's done click on the "Settings" cog icon for the desired HTTPS domain and enable HTTP-> HTTPS redirect and HTTPS rewrite, then you're set.

10 Thought Leaders Weigh in on the Cloud
Certainly. With a tax-based universal basic income, the vast majority of individuals would be net beneficiaries.

As of 2011, an individual paying >$12k/yr in USA federal taxes is in the top 25%. [0] With a basic income of $1k/yr, anyone in the bottom 75% would effectively be receiving a 100% refund of all taxes, not only the funds earmarked for BI.

There is also the option of voluntary basic income systems, which have the advantage of being immediately implementable. [Disclosure: currently developing a voluntary basic income project/study]

> The US for example is a highly regulated welfare state with upper-mid tier taxation among nations.

IIRC the US is a freewheeling capitalist state among developed, non-tiny countries. I mean, there's still substantial social welfare, but it's significantly smaller than most of our compatriots.
It's not really though. The "citation please" is usually the first punch in a one-two of cite/attack-source. Palantir analyzes, yes, not collect. But what is done with that data is not exactly innocent either.
Why is this so important? How does it get us closer to general AI?
Correct. I do virtually nothing with it within the browser. But I don't even think about it as a possibility - so if you put functionality in the right click menu on a website/webapp I would have basically zero chance of finding it. I don't think I'm alone.

Desktop applications are a different story.
The issue isn't who rented the boat. It's who paid the captain/crew. That is most likely some holding/management company in turn owned by Allen. Insurance is also at play. It's no different than if a bus driver crashes. The passengers on the bus aren't responsible, nor is the person who hired the bus. It is the bus owner.

If the owner is not held, then the only people left are the employees. They don't earn enough to ever pay fines associated with this sort of accident. So it's either the owners or nobody.
Do you run the cache / contract with someone to run the cache, or are you worried about third parties who run caching servers out of your control (like mobile ISPs, corporate networks, etc.)? If the latter, I'm surprised/curious what the use case is.

If the former, you can stick those on HTTPS too just fine. CloudFlare will be an entire SSL-enabled CDN for you for free. Amazon Cloudfront will serve SSL for you for free (though you still have to pay for Cloudfront itself, and get a cert on your own, though you can do that for free).
None of the ideas address basic income. They are incremental not quantum. I think that reflects the difficulty in changing our frame of reference from what is to what might be.

If we don't change this you can forget it. Land is the issue, it's been the issue for hundreds of years.

The ability to expand into free land was what made the USA different. You could take a job for the man on subsistence wages or set up yourself. That's why you had to have slavery. In the UK with land enclosure the prison is the country.

We should tax land and stop the exploitation of workers by rentiers.

Even before 0x, a there was definitely a genuine performance need that drove a lot of stuff from Java to C++. A lot of people I know would write Javaish code with Boost.

A lot of the stuff that makes Java great for building high level systems quickly is still kind of missing from formal C++ though (IoC, JMX, etc...), and it would have been nice to see some of the internal stuff get open sourced.

I wonder if people are starting to avoid Java because of Oracle (e.g. vs Google).

Yes, you do need to be likable to get hired. Speaking as someone "born without social genes", I can accept this.

In a way, this is a good thing for me. Getting a job isn't part of the equation. There is only one good reason for me to get better at my tech stack. It's because I want it to be easier for me to make good software.

>Nobody in Silicon Valley has basic income.

Savings, financial support structures through their family, direct funding, and skills they can easily turn into funds. These are not basic income but they have the same effect: they allow the freedom to bargain from a position of strength without worrying about starving or going homeless or other basic needs unpleasantness. They have breathing room to create. And they do.

Imagine a world where, in order to create a new business, someone had to enter a walled city, give up all savings, were forbidden to take money from outside sources and must work full time (at least) at the same time in order to earn their daily rations of food and a bed while they are at it. That is the world the poor live in, more or less. The walled city is the planet Earth.

You mention dependency but you forgot the qualifier: on government. The poor live in dependency right now -- they are dependent on their employer to live week to week. They work, not to better their situation, but to keep from losing what little they have. It is the illusion of freedom.

You mention charity, but my position has nothing to do with charity and making people comfortable just because. It is about putting people in a position where their every transaction, if we assume they are rational, are guaranteed to create value. That helps all of us.

It is about giving people a hard floor to stand on. They will find things to do, just like most people with money and resources find a way to add value to the world -- because it improves their situation.

We don't need to worry about keeping people busy...they can figure out for themselves what is best for them and the world doesn't improve your situation unless you improve the world. I trust they'll figure that out.
tptacek, please don't apply racist comments on this article.

When you don't pay your bills, you simply don't riot on the streets as reaction.

Likely not the fault of what you describe as "middle class white" group for enforcing municipal regulation. Likely no innocent parties on either parties involved.
It seems like you're assuming that in our future there will be plenty of jobs for average people to earn a 'living wage' (i.e. enough to pay for basic shelter, food, clothing, education, medical treatment, etc.). What makes you confident in that given that forecasts of economic growth show significant stagnation and trends show increased automation of jobs?
Being forced to work from an office is the biggest scandal in the western world.

I can see the highway coming from the Sydney harbour bridge from my office window - it's alway congested, it takes a huge amount of time to get to and from work.

I guarantee most of the people burning fuel, creating congestion and stopping themselves (and everyone else) from getting home to their families on time have jobs that could easily be done from home.

The argument that unexpected collaboration happens when people are forced to go to the office is a joke and certainly not worth protecting when you consider all the other negative effects of commuting and working in a central location:

- Rising house prices

- Sprawling high density housing resulting in more people living in smaller areas creating a massive strain on infrastructure and massive reduced living standards

- Commuting for hours per day which affects family life

- Creating pollution hot spots

- Burning large amounts of oil and petrol

A truck spilt several tons of dirt onto the Sydney harbour bridge last week, this caused hours of delays for thousands of people trying to get home. Why should one truck accident hold thousands of people to ransom? How many people missed their kids bed time because of that?

Most companies even being amenable to change based on me bumping into someone from a different department is a laughable idea.
We need a massive culture shift in the way we approach most office work. It's an absolute scandal.
