No. From "public airspace" police can use any visual technology to look at the outside of your property. Right or wrong, it's pretty settled law that if the public can fly somewhere then law enforcement can also fly there without a warrant.

The interesting question is what about infrared and other "through the wall" technologies that give an indication as to what's inside a structure. In Kyllo, the Supreme Court decided 5-4 (with Scalia writing the majority opinion) that using a thermal imaging camera to investigate heat emitted from the wall of a house was a "search" that required a warrant.

Your claim still doesn't make sense. They either used expert data or they didn't. If the algorithm would lose when they remove the expert data, then they really do need expert data.

The tree search wasn't even the novel part of the algorithm... the authors even cite others who had used the identical technique in previous Go algorithms.

You can't just restore the old OS, because it bricked during OS upgrade and you can't downgrade. So it has to restore the new OS, which means if the OS update includes an update to the SE, then the SE needs to be updated with it.

As for sending passcodes over the wire, Apple really doesn't want to have this because it makes it a lot harder to reject requests like the one the FBI is making. Disabling the wipe-after-10-passcodes is just turning off a bit of code, that's not an "undue burden", but implementing the ability to send passcodes over the wire is a non-trivial engineering effort and becomes an "undue burden" when the FBI requests that it be added.

> Those social support systems will cost money. They will have to be funded by taxpayers.

Will they? The illegal drug market currently drives prices far above the cost of production. You could probably tax any drug at 300% and it would still be cheaper than illegal alternatives. Legalizing drugs and providing support may be a net revenue generator.

> Yet I can not for the life of me understand why drugs are illegal.

Criminal laws create self-enforcing social norms to discourage undesirable behavior. Making something illegal is one way of society condemning that activity. Ideally, the social norm itself drives compliance, not enforcement. E.g. it's the social norm that keeps people from stealing, not the threat of getting caught. If people started ignoring the social norm at a large scale, law enforcement would have no hope of stopping them.

As a general principle this is sound. E.g. making eating and drinking on the metro illegal has worked pretty well in creating a self-enforcing social norm. Hasn't worked that way for drugs really.

That seems like a good idea but a slight overkill. Why not allow the residents to submit specific location info/pictures of potholes?

It's best to say that alphago uses neural networks, which are extremely general. The same way planes and cars both use internal combustion engines. ICEs are extremely general. They produce mechanical energy from gas, and are totally uncaring whether you put them into a plane or a car. The body of the plane is necessary, but isn't really the interesting part.

Likewise NNs are uncaring what application you put them into. Give them a different input and a different goal, and they will learn to do that instead. Alphago gave it's NN's control over a monte carlo search tree, and that turned out to be enough to beat Go. They could plug the same AI into a car and it would learn to control that instead.

Note that even without the monte carlo search system, it was able to beat most amateurs, and predict the moves experts would make most of the time.

> Of course Hillary flipped on the issue in the last 2 years when she realized that the Democratic electorate no longer supports "tough on crime" legislation.

To add to this, there was actually a huge groundswell of support from black communities in the 90s for toughening enforcement of (and punishment for) crime, including drug-related crime.

In retrospect, the policies were a complete disaster at achieving their original goals, but it's rather frustrating that the 2016 dialogue completely ignores the context in which those laws emerged.

Yes, 90s-era crime laws are largely responsible for mass incarceration of black Americans today. But it's not quite correct to portray the decision in the 90s to support those laws as a political decision against black Americans. At the time, it was perceived by many black advocacy groups to be the necessary response to the devastating effects that crime was having on their communities.
Not quite true. Early money dwarfs later money in any calculation. But the last 15 years would certainly put a damper on things. Would be nice if the app calculated real interest return for us!

Who is liable in case of accident (financially and legally)?

The car (no legal existence), the algorithm (no legal existence) a developer doing a library that fails and has been used without is knowledge (nop), the developer integrating without control (nop), the scrum master who pushed a bad choice? the financial director for not caring about the cost of risks? The CTO .... no one is liable. Liability is diluted.

Google and Facebook don't bother with management modules; They're more likely on switched power for each machine, with significant work in automatic netboot reprovisioning when things go wrong on these systems.

Historically, drug prohibition was often seen as an issue of morality, not a medical problem that needs treatment. Certainly when drug prohibition began (eg the early laws outlawing cocaine, opium, and alcohol), the driving force was almost always either religious groups reacting to social ills, or moral panics of some sort.

Recreational substances have been a favorite moral panic for decades. Even in the 1980s (crack cocaine moral panic) and to a lesser degree the 1990s over MDMA. And this goes back a long way: think reefer madness in the 1930s, the racially tinged moral panic surrounding the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act, etc.

I know some people in the comments below are pinning more blame on the bad laws on lobbyists and entrenched interests, that's certainly partially the case (it's certainly open for debate how much they contributed to creating the moral panic even). But I would tend to put more blame on the moral drive behind many of the laws themselves. Moral panics have a nasty tendency to create harsh legislation that often creates more problems than they solve. And while there are entrenched interests defending the War on Drugs, at one point they were popular entrenched interests. No one is going to overturn legislation when 79% oppose even marijuana legalization, as is the case for this poll in the US in 1988:

http://www.people-press.org/question-search/?qid=195853&pid=...

To get the "political will", I feel that you have to counter the moral panic that has led to these bad laws (as well as the perception in the public mind) with "just the facts" on these compounds (most aren't as bad as the demonization would have it)... combined with demonstrations of the harsh consequences of these laws.

That's already happened to some extent... in 2016, a majority support marijuana legalization. There are more articles then ever on the high cost of our incarceration policy, and there's even greater awareness of how our drug policy has contributed to international violence.

I'm not sure that all Schedule Is will ever be legalized fully (personally I'm on the fence with many of them on to what degree they should, since some might indeed pose more of a risk to public health than it's worth). But if only the incarceration policy was adjusted to more of a treatment based one, that would do a heck of a lot.

This is what SEO firms like to say because it gives them cover and makes people think they're just content writers, but I don't think it's accurate. Backlinks are still king, even if your site has scarcely any content on it; not that it's bad to have more high-quality content, but it's not like Google weighs that strongly. A lot more human curation would be needed to determine that.

Edit: I forgot about Ciraolo, which is another case where police, without a warrant, intentionally flew over a backyard that was enclosed by a fence. In that case, the police found marijuana plants growing. The court upheld the conviction of the homeowner despite the lack of a warrant.

Thomas Jefferson imposed heavy tariffs on imports. This was horrible for the (new) American consumer and raised prices significantly on manufactured goods.

That's not correct; those numbers refer to the system requirements while actually playing. To quote from the paper:

> Evaluating policy and value networks requires several orders of magnitude more computation than traditional search heuristics. AlphaGo uses an asynchronous multi-threaded search that executes simulations on CPUs, and computes policy and value networks in parallel on GPUs. The final version of AlphaGo used 40 search threads, 48 CPUs, and 8 GPUs. We also implemented a distributed version of AlphaGo that exploited multiple machines, 40 search threads, 1202 CPUs and 176 GPUs.

In fact, according to the paper, only 50 GPUs were used for training the network.

By the same website, China deaths by alcohol use are also much lower than the West. Is the punishment for alcohol use much more severe in China than it is in the West? Erm, no - in fact none of those countries use the criminal justice system to punish alcohol users. Could it therefore be other factors like societal attitudes as I said in the comment above.

You should also remember that by far the most widely used illegal drug is cannabis (93% in the UK), and it's almost impossible to die from cannabis. About the only way I can think of is if a block of it drops on you from a smuggler's aircraft. So just looking at deaths from drug use isn't so interesting. There are other ways that drugs are both productive and enjoyable, and can be damaging.

The point is that no one could train deep nets 10 years ago. Not just because of computing power, but because of bad initializations, and bad transfer functions, and bad regularization techniques, etc.

These things might seem like "small iterative refinements", but they add up to 100x improvement. Even when you don't consider hardware. And you should consider hardware too, it's also a factor in the advancement of AI.
