Or in other words: People always see themselves as good, then naively assume that therefore everyone else does, too, and that therefore obviously nobody would want to watch them, and therefore agree that surveillance of bad people is ok, as it couldn't possibly ever affect themselves. People generally aren't actually ok with surveillance, but rather they don't understand the dynamics of surveillance and thus ultimately don't actually understand the question they are answering in such a poll.

It is smart that you designed the retainers based on maximum tolerance of tooth movement quoting from a textbook. I suggest you take X ray to make sure no root resorption have occurred. Also for those who want to imitate, measure the length of teeth and compare with the arch length to make sure the teeth can actually "fit" into the arch. I am a dental student.

According to A Random Walk Down Wall Street, there are many examples of funds that have consistently beat the market over 5-10 years, but there are very few that outperform the market over a longer time horizon, and oftentimes they underperforming in the subsequent time periods (Peter Lynch's Magellan fund is the one counterexample given).

The article claims that 'more young women in higher education' as a factor in falling teenage pregnancies. However, I can't see how being in higher education (which starts at 18) can affect teen pregnancies (which the article defines as 'under 18 pregnancies').
"But they're not spending their money, they're spending other people's money."

No, that's not true. The purpose of the BI is that it's their money and their decision. It's just like when you get salary you get to decide what to do with it, it's not your employers money.

"If your version of basic income is about taking money from one group and letting another group blow it on alcohol and cigarettes, then it's obviously a bad idea."

It isn't at all obvious to me. If everybody would spend money on alcohol and cigarettes, we wouldn't face an ecological crisis, for example. A famous scientist or actor has a much larger ecological footprint than a gambling addict.

I have a 128GB USB drive (a SanDisk Ultra Fit) that stays in the machine permanently, mounted to ~/ext, for anything non-dev-related. This has worked out fine for me--haven't ever really come close to filling up my drive, with the exception of a couple times when unused docker images built up over time. Definitely wouldn't recommend it if you're going to use the machine for photo backups or something, but as a secondary machine (I use a desktop 40% of the time) it's never really been an issue.

As much as I don’t like Microsoft, they are far from the first to create “updates” or “fixes” that have other crap bundled into them, and plenty of developers should be blamed for this anti-user practice.

Still, it’s a shame. Technologically, near-instant software updates ought to be fantastic. In reality, developers have abused this power.

And when there is abuse, you need a system that returns power to the users.

For instance, an update protocol should probably use cryptography, with keys distributed across a web of trust that the user is part of. If the web of trust collectively distrusts an update (e.g. because several people had problems with updates signed by that key), it should automatically raise red flags for other users and not be installed automatically. For random 3rd-party developers, this would make it hard to push unwanted updates; and for big companies that don’t want to have a poor public image, it would be incentive to not push updates that aggravate a lot of users.
If you use an agent, just make sure you enable the option for it to prompt you upon use. This shouldn't require you to reenter your passphrase, so it's still unlocked in memory.

If you don't do this, any root user on any machine you connect to can use your ssh-agent connection to auth to other machines.
Just like some people mentioned in the comments on the previous article.

I have every important update installed. And every optional/recommended update hidden. I can't replicate the behavior.

The older GWX update (KB303555XX something) is still tagged as recommended, not important.

Or maybe not. The history of AI is one of humans always moving the goalposts when AI advances.

The actual match is largely effected by psycology at the time of game. The match is somewhat unfair to human player. AlphaGo and its team know all about each human player and preference. But human player knows little about AlphaGo. Also it is AlphaGo team who decides whom to choose to play against AlphaGo, not the other round. In the sense of psycology and , the game is greatly favor to AlphaGo right now. This is the difference with the match between IBM DeepBlue and the chess world champion 10 years ago. It should be that any player(human or AI) can be allowed to enter the game, with or without a fee.
You don't need language specific primitives, when a language is feature rich enough, that those features can be done in a library.
Important distinction: children get their genes from us and share many of our values by default. Computers do not share many of our values by default. Instead they do what they are programmed to do.

But the problem is that computers do what you say, not what you mean. If I write a function called be_nice_to_people(), the fact that I gave my function that name does nothing to affect the implementation. Instead my computers behavior will depend on the specific details of the implementation. And since being nice to people is a behavior that's extremely hard to precisely specify, by default creating an AI that's smart enough to replace humans is likely to result in a bad outcome.

The wire was removed and after some months my front two teeth were as far apart as ever. Ok, the overbite didn't return but things will move back at least to some degree over time.

Getting started with Redux
I remember this article. This is by _yosefk.

I love FPGAs. They're awesome for interacting at a low level with just about any kind of hardware, at nano-second-level latency.

But although I bought one, I don't think most people will end up buying one, unfortunately; the vast majority of the consumer stuff that we considered putting on FPGAs in the past (graphics rendering, heavy math) is solved six ways to Sunday by today's GPU. The FPGA also lacks an open-source (or even shared-source) toolchain, there's no way to perform resource sharing, they have code constraints that are physical limits, and so on.

Basically, FPGAs rock when used for chip design or for powering custom prototype or small batch hardware. But they fall into a really narrow portion of the market, because there are few cost-effective consumer-level solutions that make use of FPGAs.

A shame, really. They're super cool.

Oh. I thought you were referring to an actual event.

Does your hypothetical take into account the future cost of giving up privacy? See below.

> their horrible loss is necessary for a greater ideal

No, it's not for an abstract "greater ideal". It's to avoid the highly concrete consequence of even more people dying when the government gets too powerful.

The problem is that, in situations like your hypothetical, the worse consequence is still in the future, while the bad consequence of avoiding it is in the present. So people are greatly tempted to convince themselves that the worse consequence won't actually come to pass. That's why I talked about looking at history: in historical scenarios that are similar to your hypothetical, we know not just the shorter term gain of giving the government more power--some particular bad thing got prevented--but the longer term cost--millions of people dying because the government got powerful enough that its screwups were catastrophic.

Awesome! This has long been a dream of mine, but I never solved the problem of creating a better syntax than BNF grammars etc.

I don't know if we have the same goals, but my end-goal was to have some treelike serialization (JSON/XML) but a canonical editor which would display in whatever you were most familiar with (Lisp, Python, Haskell, C-ish). The limitation would be that you'd have to store metadata-ish stuff on the tree to handle custom indentations that don't follow some canonical style guide.
I think I would consider myself a middle class, and I think I have two reasonable arguments why I dislike my "taxes buying $THING_OF_VALUE" for poor people.

1. this implies my taxes need to pay for somebody deciding who is poor or not
2. the decision if you are poor (and get or not get the $THING) tends to be binary

I have met a few people who were surviving only on some goverment support, that felt that any attempt to integrate back to the work-force would force some imagnary switch to be flipped that cuts them off from welfare and leave them worse off even when they have salary.

From my perspective UBI and negative income tax can have implementations similar enough in attempting to solve this problem.
The Facebook Breakup
Can you link to a case where Apple did this? Not doubting you, just curious.
I think the most important thing is key rotation, and generally I do it every year or so.

I prefer a single ssh key for almost everything. It's on only 1 laptop that I use daily. There is no protection on the key itself, but I always lock the laptop screen (password protected) when I leave the laptop alone.

I have other laptops/devices, usually with different keys. My "master" key is also on my 2nd laptop. Although I could have a passphrase there, I still prefer no protection except screen locking. This said, this 2nd laptop never leaves my home, where only trusted (and "innocuous") people can touch it.
That's true but only matters if you have a value system that includes social power and influence among its values.

Someone whose core values are "I was there for my family whenever they needed me" is not going to care how many admirers they have. Someone whose core values are "I will respect and learn from other peoples' differences and not try to convert them to my way of thinking" is actively failing if they end up recruiting disciples.
I am working on ReadBoard (https://www.readboard.io) - a new way to converse on the Web. And why do I think it is awesome? Because I believe it will really change the way we converse on the Web.

I recently posted three different articles on medium explaining my thought process but I would like to mention one article here.

https://medium.com/readboard-blog/online-commenting-why-do-b...

To summarise, ReadBoard lets you (the readers) own your conversations on the Web.

And when I say “owning a conversation”, that means…

1. I, as a reader, will decide on which part of the article I want to start a conversation and with whom.
2. I, as a reader, want all my conversations at one place.
3. I, as a reader, want to know what others are discussing on the same article.

ReadBoard is still in private beta but if this thinking intrigues you, here is a special link to sign up for all HackerNews users.

It seems that the problem with foiling terrorist plots is not the amount of information that is available, but the inability to connect the dots:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/16/french-and-belg...

If anything, they should be asking (at least in Europe) for more personnel to keep better track of possible terrorists, because that is what has failed here. Another problem is that some countries have cut budgets of deradicalization programs and local eyes and ears since the mid-2000's.

As we all know, the terrorist attacks are just a convenience for asking backdoors. Each opportunity is exploited.

That and the telemetry, embedded advertising, extreme bandwidth use, privacy concerns, etc, but for me personally, just the fact that they're working so hard to make it not an option leads me to never want to touch it or any future version of Windows again.

I'm not sure I understand. If you care about stealing, why would you open-source it? I thought the purpose of the GPL was to force others to join the movement, not to reduce stealing. (I know the word 'stealing' was in quotes, but I guess I don't understand the usage).
Thanks for sharing this. I had similar idea a year ago and ended up didn't do anything after much research. I came up with similar information as you went through during the execution. People won't pay for this (very few). The experts don't care about money either. It's a chicken and egg situation that's hard to bootstrap to something larger. Well unless you find a very specific niche (e.g. Q&A for AI algorithm...). Frontend is too crowded already.
I recently started using Julia as my main platform as a replacement for Octave in my engineering classes.

I have found it an excellent language, as easy as Python to pick up and some great numerical primitives.

Using Juliabox in class means no installation woes and means whatever I do during lessons is available wherever I can get online. The ability to mix in markdown and code on the same page is brilliant for keeping notes. I realise that is not a feature of Julia but still, it is a benefit.

I've not done any heavy work in it but I'm really looking forward to doing so. I can dump Python, Octave and Limbo all at the same time.
