Fitting analogy. There was a line in the film Blood & Donuts about the moon being ruined when they landed on it, which I couldn't really feel until today.
A lot of people in the world know that the Kim family is strangling North Korea, but you don't see people rising up to overthrow them. Imagine a world where Kim Il-sung was effectively immortal. Imagine a world where the monarchies of the middle ages could last a thousand years or more. Without something to shake up the status quo every once in awhile the situation tends to stagnate, even if it is a bad situation.

It is possible that human mentality would change if we had to start thinking about longer timescales like this, but that seems optimistic.

I feel uncomfortable with the always-listening devices, too. At the same time I wonder if it's any different than carrying a device with a microphone in your pocket at all times. Is Echo more likely to become a privacy invasion than your cell phone is?
For those wondering about how this applies to Node.js use a Netflix like myself, it's in there towards the bottom of the article:

> "As Netflix grows and evolves, there is an increasing demand for our build and deploy toolset to provide first-class support for non-JVM languages, like JavaScript/Node.js, Python, Ruby and Go. Our current recommendation for non-JVM applications is to use the Nebula ospackage plugin to produce a Debian package for baking, leaving the build and test pieces to the engineers and the platform’s preferred tooling. While this solves the needs of teams today, we are expanding our tools to be language agnostic."

School is an extraordinarily unnatural social environment in which kids are thrown into a competitive environment with others that are nearly the exact same age. It works for some kids. Others get bullied. Others get anxious.

Homeschooled children don't have to be socially isolated. Some areas have many groups of various sorts and some children opt to take electives at schools (gym, music, art) or get involved in various after school activities. A lot depends on the area you live in.

Difference between regression testing and retesting
We as tester do Retesting and Regression testing all our life, Whether we reach on the top of ladder of this profession or has just started the profession. Software testing is a kind of fun and if you are not enjoying the software testing, It means you are not following the right method of testing. Since we people are linked with the testing of software, we all would be pretty familiar with the word Regression and Retesting. Since both sound similar and comes in to action just after a bug-fix, so most of the time we people get stuck to the fundamental difference between Retesting and Regression.

Skype for TV shutting down June 1
I've lost at least two elderly, extended family members this way. Both applied both a patch and took a pill, which caused an OD.

The issue is that many opioids and non opioids gap between the therapeutic dose range and LD50% is often dangerously narrow.

Complication #0: serum bioavailable molecule assay is rarely monitored. People metabolize and clear drugs at vastly differently rates.

Complication #1: Hospital mistakes still happen quite frequently, despite many measures to prevent them, especially with inexperienced and overworked nurses/assistants.

Complication #2: cummulative dosing error or interactions, especially multiple, independent prescriptions for similar opioids with different administration routes (patches, sprays, pills, injections)

Complication #3: overprescription of opioids because they're cheap, especially to veterans, which also leads to prescription and hard drug addictions.

Solution: opiods need to be singularly controlled at home or in the hospital by an integrated, blood/interstitial fluid measuring/dispensing unit to avoid OD and push back on abuse.

Plus, anyone taking opioids should also have narcan or equivalent antidote readily available, and wear a medalert QR code bracelet which lists relevant conditions and medications should they be found unresponsive.

Finally, avoid painkillers as much as possible and take the least dose which reduces stress level.

Isn't our inability to cure all cancers a limitation of our knowledge more than a hard physical limit?

I've read several articles saying that different cancers are not exactly the same disease, but more like different diseases with the same symptom (uncontrolled tumor growth) and different etiology, even sometimes different from person to person, not just from tissue to tissue. This was said to be a reason that a general cancer cure is so elusive. But is it really thought of as impossible, not just elusive?

Maybe our inability to extinguish the sun is also a limitation of knowledge more than a hard physical limit!

Even if I'm right about this, your description of the situation would still be accurate in that there would be no way to simply throw more money at the problems and guarantee a solution; there would need to be qualitative breakthroughs which aren't guaranteed to happen at any particular level of expenditure. If people had spent multiples of the entire world GDP on a space program in the 1500s, they would still not have been able to get people to the moon, though not because it's physically impossible to do so in an absolute sense.
Would you settle for from the 1950s? Neutrinos were first proven to exist then (though they were theorized from the 1930s). Those have been used to "look inside" the ruined Fukushima reactor.

It is built into the assumptions of the country that some people will argue in their own self interest over that of the general public. In fact, it is expected that the majority will prefer their interest over the good of the whole. It is thenjob of Congress to mediate and ignore self-serving interests, but you can't even blame them for not doing their jobs, because it's the responsibility of the people to call out their bullshit and elect individuals who will act with principles. Ultimately, the rules are pretty clear; power comes from the people, and silence is consent. Ask for better people overall, don't try to blame individuals for the lack-of-will of the masses.
You still end up ahead. [1] Even if you invest at the worst possible times, investing early and over a long period of time will still make you wealthy.

Terrific accomplishment.

Just a question to throw out there - does anyone feel like statements like this one "But the game [go] is far more complex than chess, and playing it requires a high level of feeling and intuition about an opponent’s next moves."

… seem to show a lack of understanding of both go and chess?

I understand there may be some cross-sports trash talking, but chess, played at a high level by humans, relies on these things as well. The more structured nature of chess means that it is (or at least was) more amenable to analysis by brute force computer algorithm, but no human evaluates and scores hundreds of millions of positions while playing chess or go.

Eh, the mainstream media is going to say this regardless, and I suppose it's just unrealistic to expect them to draw a distinction between complex for humans and amenable to brute force computation but statements like this always seemed to show a remarkable lack of awareness of how people actually play these games (though I am not an especially skilled chess or go player).

It's not the civil rights act, but the immigration reform act that would be relevant here:

"Employers should not ask whether or not a job applicant is a United States citizen before making an offer of employment... the law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law, regulation or government contract" [1]

However, from the job listings, it sounds like that all employees would have access to regulated information, thus exempting them from the prohibition:

"...U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien or otherwise able to review all export-controlled technical information."

That's something that really sets me off; the hiding behind the umbrella of "well, that's legal"

Ask HN: Do you have a problem for us to solve?
Hello fellow HNrs,

We are a team of two polymaths who have been working together for a few years on numerous projects. Many of these projects have been very successful, including; web applications with tens of thousands users, car fleet management system with apps for drivers, created and delivered hardware projects all over the world, specialized security devices, marketing products, air traffic control solutions, crypto security keys. We were early in bitcoin and shipped multiple cryptocurrency projects, some OSX native applications, a number of iOS apps back when app stores were cool, etc… We’ve managed to generate comfortable income, and build ourselves a runway.

Part of what drives us is looking for the next thing to fund and maintain a great lifestyle business. We are not necessarily closed to VC capital (heck we personally know a bunch) but we prefer to have a healthy long-term, self-sustaining business.

Both of us are over 30, not interested in working in an office or relocating. We do however travel for conferences, deal with manufacturers in China and can fulfill hardware projects globally. Work smarter, not harder.

Between the two of us, we are truly full-stack, silicon to user interface. We have UI/UX/frontend/backend/OS/embedded software experience, can handle most PCB design, manufacturing contacts in Guangzhou, some mechanical design skills, real marketing chops (social and traditional) and of course, our own strong opinions on product definition.

Right now we have a bunch of ideas and prototypes, at many different stages of development, but no killer idea to devote ourselves to. So, if you have a real hardware and/or software product idea, that solves someone's problem and has a market, we’d like to hear from you, especially if you have the business development and domain expertise to go with the idea.

>Demis says he certainly does not worry about a "terminator" or "ex machina" style scenario

Neither does the Friendly AI crowd.
And just to emphasize the big point here:

The AlphaGo that beat the 2p European champion five months ago was not as strong as the AlphaGo that beat Lee Sedol (9p). I don't think this was just the AlphaGo team throwing more hardware. I think they had been constantly running the self-training during the intervening months so that AlphaGo was improving itself.

If that is so, then the big thing here isn't that AlphaGo is the first AI to win an official match with the currently world's strongest Go player. It's that within less than half a year, AlphaGo was able to learn and grow to go from challenging a 2p to challenging the world's strongest player. Think about that.

That's technically what I'm using, however, if you look at the S&P 500 historic data - http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EGSPC+Historical+Prices - the Adj. Close is the same as actual close (meaning there's never dividends or splits to account for). That Adj. close is what the main site - http://stockchoker.com/ - uses for all symbols, so for pretty much everything else, splits and dividends are accounted for... but nothing else I've found goes back anywhere close to 1950 (and is also representative of the stock market as a whole).

So that's why I'm leaning toward still using the S&P500 data, but adding an "average" dividend payout each year (which I'll do some research on.. guessing a little over 1% a year).

Echo is set apart from other voice platforms in that voice is the only way you are supposed to interact with it. The vast majority of things that Siri or Google Now can do, can also be done through the touch screen, and it often seems strange to talk to your phone.
