To some extent, but it seems to me that money is a short term incentive. It sounds great when you have have no money or other prospects but if you realize that the job providing greater financial reward is a soul crushing experience it might not be enough to keep you there.

Your actions after that might depend on your circumstances and need for financial security.. but if there exists a guaranteed net of basic income, a lot of people, especially younger people with no kids or dependants might be more inclined to go back to the drawing board and re-invent their professional lives.

Eventually there comes a need to encourage a culture of ambitiousness and desire for individual progress that is based on more than financial reward.
Maybe we'll be able to take better care of the elderly. Or maybe we could spend more time educating children, with more teachers per class. Maybe we will have more time to teach people surfing. Maybe we will have more time to play cards, that may mean more need for coffee places to be open.

The list goes on and on.
What does Taleb even mean by that? It's not a good thing that mainstream politics is so much full of shit that Trump actually has a very good chance of being elected. This is a bad sign for the country in general. Reform your way idiot politicians.
Hopefully it's improved since I used it two years ago, but back then the component api was terrible. Simple things like nesting components required undocumented apis and was much harder than it needed to be.
As colejohnson said, the difficulty. The network, as a whole, expects to generate 1 block approximately every 10 minutes. Someone with less than 50% of the network power will never be able to sustainably mint a longer chain of 'fake' blocks before someone else mints a legit one.
Let's chat by email. Maybe talking to another CTO who is running a post-Series A startup and who is roughly your age with a similar background (and who has the exact same concerns) will let us figure out a plan out of the madness.

Perhaps they're asking for a "startup discount" like AWS Activate.

A discount because they're a startup and putting trust into you and your startup. If they do well, you'll do well. If you screw up they will be impacted.

Also, you may be able to learn a lot of from them and help more people love your product.

I'd counter with like 25 to 30% for one year and a bit more for two years. Try to find a win-win even if you have to get creative. Perhaps they allow you to use their name as a reference on your website or some other consideration.

These sorts of negotiations happen all the time. Enjoy them :)

Good luck with the SaaS, sounds look you have some momentum!
Isn't this exactly the kind of thing that should be done by the compiler?
Force isn't what keeps the US government in power, established norms do. If those norms were weaker, or if enough people were upset enough to upset the norms, you'd see how much force can do without all the softer stuff around it.
What do you do now? Part time contracting?

I'm at a place where I don't really need to work full time either, but I haven't figured out a plan for getting out of it.
Do they charge too little though? The list of cheapest ETFs is far from being completely dominated by Vanguard http://etfdb.com/compare/lowest-expense-ratio/ Schwab makes a point to undercut Vanguard on everything, and iShares joined the game recently with its "core" ETFs.
Looks like quite a bit of an overbite, though.
>I'm not sure what that is exactly, but it sounds really sensitive.

I was poking fun at "security" questions.

These bits of data are gatekeepers, if I have your aol account password, I get all of those for free.

(So I think we're in agreement, my SSN isn't controversial to my friends, employer, family, news, etc, but most people have probably had conversations or searches that could look really bad)
they're not, but this blog post made it seem like they're worth the money.

I don't know how I feel about this post. I don't know if I can consider it a diy project when he has access to equipment beyond the reach of most ppl. if I had access to an orthodontist lab and build my own retainer using their equipment is that considered diy?
Very cool stuff! Was just playing around with it for a while, saw (and saved) some nifty compositions! Better yet, what I noticed is that, not being a designer, it had palette options/varieties with the logos! YAY!

Sadly, after saving a few to my profile, the only thing available is the SVG of the logo itself, but none of the details. I was hoping for at least the palette too, so to have some to toy around with. I know this pushes it from a logo generator to more of a brand/identity, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!

Ultimately, not an issue, and still very cool stuff!
It has not once in my life occurred to me to email my dentist.
Being already over 300 billion CAD in debt, it only make sense for Ontario to spend a bit more. Looks like Ontario government gave up hopes to repay the debt, so who cares - a basic income more, a basic income less...
Honest question - are people really still deploying new FTP servers?

I don't see any mention of SSL/TLS support - so this is intended for people who don't care about security but think vsftpd, proftpd, or pure-ftpd are somehow not up to snuff?
This is already happening. Down at the end of a recent Wired article about Fan Hui, the European champion who lost to AlphaGo recently, it mentions that his close interactions with the software has changed his view of the game, and his ranking has also moved, from 633 "into the 300s".

The relevant paragraph is the one with the heading "Machine changes human", at the end.

Awesome! I've often wondered about converting between OO/Infix and FP/prefix notations, which might be an extension of this.
I used to buy System76 products, but never again. I bought a fairly expensive desktop system from them for a remote working situation. The motherboard experienced a failure in the first week, and their offer for support was that I pay for shipping it to them, wait for them to diagnose and repair and that I pay for it to be shipped back.

I had to argue just to get them to cover one way of shipping, and even then they required me to physically take the machine to a UPS drop off. I lived in a major urban area at the time and owned no car, and would have required an expensive taxi ride to drop it off at their requested location, and of course they weren't willing to reimburse me for that taxi ride.

I was furious and they simply offered no reasonable way for me to get it repaired. They lost a customer and I'll happily switch back to Dell.
The simplicity of GitHub’s pull request has killed the GPL.

Is that true? Doesn't having the ability to send pull requests (or merge requests as GitLab people would prefer) make it easier to contribute?
Keep it simple. I use ssh-agent .. just ~/.ssh/ - keep keys here. Backup the actual private keys and stick those on a drive you keep in a safe. Make sure your machine's HD is encrypted and you should be fine.
If that's the future, then I'd say AI companies should have to be at least 49% owned by a trust fund in which every citizen automatically has a share.

> The right way to solve this is that Visa and Master Card need to develop a standard to make super easy to generate a unique payment number everytime you make an online purchase. Then that should be built in as a browser extension or component.

There was a mechanism from the 1990s to do online payments without giving the merchant a reusable secret identifier.

It's too bad that something like that didn't become widespread sooner, because it could have drastically cut down on credit card fraud.
Also, just plain convenience. You want to go into the city center for a date, e.g. wife and I want to go have dinner at the Hayes St. Grille and hear a concert at SF Jazz. Today: drive into the city, deal with stressful traffic, also stress at finding somewhere to park which will often be blocks from the restaurant. After, walk some blocks through the dark streets, drive home.

Tomorrow: driverless Lyft. Request a Lyft, hop in, ignore traffic entirely while talking or reading; step out at the door of the restaurant. After, request a Lyft while walking out of concert, step out the door of SF Jazz and hop into car(1), read/chat on the way home. The reduction of stress is huge, the whole date is much more enjoyable.

(1) This scenario does reveal a future problem, what happens when a whole bunch of people call for a driverless ride after an event? Does this happen now, are bunches of people competing for Ubers and Lyfts after concerts today? How will we identify ourselves to a _driverless_ car as being the requesting party?
From the long run perspective, this is worse than the floating city. As they describe it, Sudan and Egypt only avoid regulating it as part of a legal trick. Once that problem resolves, the special status evaporates. At least when you are on the high seas, the high seas aren't going to stop being the high seas in a few decades.
If a treadmill was a humans only existence your argument would be valid.
They do not add brackets / anchors but they do use a straight-across aligned as opposed to a more trimmed "scalloped" aligner. The straight across gets a bit more turning force because it goes higher up and covers a bit of your gums. I'm no expert so I don't know if that's the whole story. They definitely filter out people with more complicated alignment issues so that could play a role as well.

And in this case, you don't need to trust OWS to do the right thing, only to refrain from pushing rogue updates (ie, to only sign versions that are actual releases). You can still read the code yourself.

You've missed the subtleties around the word "trust" in the context. You don't need to trust that the WhatsApp people are nice, or want to do what is right.

You need to trust that they and Google haven't been legally compelled to push a "rouge" update - perhaps only to you. Don't forget there is nothing technically stopping a uniquely compiled update being pushed to a single account holder.

The only protection against this is 3rd party auditing and checking the signatures yourself, and that the 3rd party is completely located in a jurisdiction where they are unlikely to be legally compelled to comply with an order that applies to WhatsApp and/or Google.
He scans his teeth, animates how he wants them to move in blender, and then 3D prints each frame. That is absolutely brilliant.
How FPGAs work, and why you'll buy one (2013)
I think there's some mention at one point of humans who've augmented themselves to the point of being Mind-like, but by that stage they aren't really human any more.
Owning a car has huge drawbacks.

It is a $20k to $30k investment that you leave on the street each night. Major risk. Then you need to find parking. In a crowded city you may even need to pay for parking. You must pay for insurance. If you want to change cities every few years (think across the nation or world, not next town over) you have to sell the thing at a loss or take a road trip over a much faster flight.

Now why would I want any of that when for a small premium I can effectively have a car only when I need it (ride share).
What is a 10Xer?
I'm not comparing brain wetware to hardware. The parent's post was interested in how we achieved such great AI go performance today that was supposed to take 10 years. If you look at the components that fueled this, the performance of the system was advanced significantly by having additional hardware; both in training the policy and value networks with billions of synthetic Go games and at runtime.

I don't like the biological comparison, but using your metaphor it would be like God saying "Hey I've created a brain but only have 10 billion synapses. Evolution would normally take 10 years to get to human-scale at our current organic rate but if I throw money at building a bigger brain cavity I can squeeze in the 1 trillion to get there today!"
>Well, we're on hackernews, we like the tech stuff. For most of the world, this news is where people learn about Go and the human player's "humiliation" (whether or not the Go community sees it that way) is the story.

In that regard, Lee Sedol has done the game of Go a great service by being so gracious in defeat (and for once, the media headlines actually mirror his humility and maturity). That has actually been my lasting impression from the match.
Volunteer email addresses compromised :-(
Awesome work!

The animation definitely seems the most difficult (and subjective), but also the most cool! Body hacking via computed geometry!

Invisalign (align technology) uses almost the same workflow. Market cap $5.89B.

If you could move the workflow over to something based on WebGL / three.js - you could make this accessible to dentists in developing countries. Could be an awesome open source project.

I think "allowing" it to be used in the US would open yourself up to too much liability though :(
Why Are We Fighting the Crypto Wars Again? – Backchannel
I always found it weird that in order to for my company to put money in my account electronically, they apparently need enough information to take money out. Why are these not two different levels of security?
I have strong doubts too. Tech luminaries and the media that feed off them seem pretty constant with their predictions, so I think for worst case scenarios (at least in terms of the families / demo I serve, not in society as a whole).
> As a result, external discourse is filled with people crowing about how well they achieved this or that milestone, all of which is desirable only because other people think it's desirable.

That's spot on and I wouldn't mind it if that was related to acts of creation.
Be careful with the implications of that rhetoric. Breaking encryption isn't "violent", and often it's legitimate security research.
Somewhat related, hy (aka hylang) is a lisp that compiles to the python abstract syntax tree which technically makes python a multi-syntax language already. Plus you get all the python libraries.

I feel like a lot of people suggesting that everyone will pass on personally owned vehicles in the near future has never lived outside a city. I definitely see the benefits inside major cities (where I always opt for public transportation anyways), but I don't think you'll see the same transition in suburban or rural areas.
It's easy to spend a few hours on work (especially in the computing field) and feel a sense of accomplishment; not so much with life.

Programming often feels like a series of little victories to me, and it's much harder to achieve that outside of work.
From my experience, the most important aspect of a single page app framework is the component api.

Here's the doc for ember's: http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.Component.html

Versus react's: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/multiple-components.ht...

Versus angular's: https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/component

If you compare them, you can see that react and angular focus heavily on component oriented architecture, while with ember, not so much.

Edit: wrong link.
Ditto here but it took me a lot longer than I expected it would.
Ask HN: Human role in an AI World
With the massive progress AI research has made, a world where a computer can do anything a human can do, but better, doesn't seem far away.

Seeing AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol made me both excited and anxious.

What role would humans play in such a future?
If Chess is any indicator, the ebb and flow of popularity of such games are more dependent on the persona and narratives of their champions and championship matches rather than any existence of a machine superior in skill to its human counterparts.s
Interesting thoughts. To me, it has always seemed like, if I had something figured out, that had made me happy, i would WANT to share it, if it could help others. When people find a diet or an exercise regimen that works for them, they love to talk about it. I don't think it purely comes down to boasting. I agree that people with deeper wisdom will often be less eager to boast or force their values on others. But I also think there are some people who, in the spirit of helpfulness, are sharing positive values - they just don't have the megaphone that movies, ads, and pundits have.
sounds like a party drug mix! can you believe people pay extra for such concoctions?!
I don't think equipment access makes or breaks a diy project. As long as you did-it-yourself, it's diy.
But where does this wealth go? I love the idea of autonomous vehicles - I drive A LOT - but I also agree with Prof. Hawking and what he's said about technology and the wealth/opportunities it generates serving the few vs. the many.
That's a better statement of my own version, which has been: Now that we have bulldozers and cranes, is there any point to getting physically stronger?
I also agree with 90% of what OP proposes.

He didn't explain what he likes about eslint-airbnb. A lot of open source projects are adopting Standard (https://github.com/feross/standard) and I've had a great experience with that.

He gets the big picture right--Keep It Simple. For example, he recommends using straight npm scripts when possible rather than Grunt / Gulp / Yeoman / etc

There are certainly mathematics competitions, where humans (usually high-school or college-age students) participate and cheer on other humans who are artificially restricted from the use of a calculator. And these competitions are considered useful because the skills required to do well on them are very valuable in certain industries, even if the artificial restriction on calculators is removed. In fact, some of the companies that most aggressively hire people who perform well at these competitions are also well-known for automating accounting tasks that were done by humans until recently, such as determining the expected price of a stock.
i.e. you go into a car park and upon buying the ticket they make you sign it because on the ticket they have written 'We are not responsible if your car or anything within it gets stolen or damaged.'

This term is onerous and as such needs to be agreed to which the signature does.
This is what I've realized lately about job satisfaction:

I used to use an agent, the problem with an agent is that it will only try like 5 keys before failing. This makes it impractical to use a different key for each server.

Now I just put an identity in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and use ssh-copy-id to copy it over. Dead simple and easy. One of these days I'm going to replace the key, a script to remove ~/.ssh/authorized_keys before re-running ssh-copy-id will do the trick.

Though, these days, I'm trying to move towards making servers cattle rather than pets. I don't want to ssh into a server at all, just use configuration management to interact with them.
Meteor's concept of hot patching deployed, running applications in users browsers is _amazing_.
I wouldn't write those professionals off so easily. People barely knows AlphaGo until now. Once they start learning about AlphaGo's behaviors, they may be able to come out with new tactics. No doubt it will be a collective effort from the Go community, no one can beat the machine alone.
You have just described what is easily fifty thousand USD worth of equipment.
Not to be a downer, but was any thought given to the safety of the plastic(s) used?

This is something that's in your mouth a lot and constantly exposed to saliva.

The Dimension 1200es mentioned doesn't appear to be specific to medical applications.[0] The product page lists the only compatible thermoplastic being ABSplus-P430. The MSDS for that basically says the stuff is dangerous in molten form, and beyond that there's very little data.[1] The same company makes "Dental and Bio-Compatible" materials for use with their other products, and these appear to have considerably more safety data.[2]

>The aligner steps have been printed, in addition to a “riser” that I added in order to make sure the vacuum forming plastic (sourced from ebay) ...

As another commenter pointed out, the vacuum forming plastic is probably the primary concern because the 3D printer was just used to create the molds. The specific type of vacuum plastic isn't mentioned.

Regardless, very neat project.

Unless you own all the endpoints, then it's just about keeping others out and maintaining your competitive advantage.
TLS 1.1 support, which MaxCDN will continue to support, was introduced in Android API 16 which corresponds with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Android 4.0 and below is 3.9% of the Android userbase.

All custom apps have access to (and should be using) TLS 1.1 in Android 4.1 and up. The old Android default browser (which no one should be using) may have different TLS versions enabled than the underlying OS has available.

The laws are totally insane when it comes to data, one law says you can't store it and if you do you have to enable the user to remove it, change it and view it, the other says you should keep it secret and should keep it for many years.

Hmm, that would be a deal breaker to me. I've had to use laptops like that before, never lasted more than 15 minutes. Thankfully, this has not been the experience with the three units I've used of this model. Might be just your luck, if still under warranty, I suggest you keep pestering them.

> the hacked together inside of it
Could you elaborate on this? I have only seen videos, and it seemed quite tightly packed, but beyond that I didn't find anything hacky about it. I plan on opening up my unit, but from the Hardware Manintenance Manual, it seems very well put-together.
