Having experienced some of these things in my own life, I can honestly say that I do believe that being an anti-authoritarian is often mistaken as a mental problem.

I believe that authority is the wielding of power by an institution or individual, and power is only useful if you voluntarily cede control (this doesn't apply always, but does in 99% of cases). Refusal to cede control returns that power back to you. People who /believe/ that they have power over you, when proven that they don't, by your inability or denial of compliance get irrationally angry and tend to think that it makes you a terrible person. I consider this a selfish response, if perhaps a natural one.

To truly live in a free society we must be okay with having power over us when the situation requires (such as at work), while also being okay with rejecting power when our morals and ethics demand it of us. The issue seems to be that some people have the ability to do the latter, and other do not, always appealing to authority to base their arguments or guide their path. The fact that many of these people who are obsessed with authority end up in mental health professions is not really surprising, since the mental health professions largely base the current accepted practices on cults of personality rather than on scientific inquiry.

The fact that I chose a profession where it's basically impossible to BS to anyone who knows anything because the rules of mathematics drive things far more than how eloquently you speak is also not surprising. Anti-authoritarians love facts, facts are a good basis for deciding when to cede power and when to take it back and provide a guiding principle in your life that doesn't rely on another person being an authority over you, even if they are outside your control.

Anyway, that's kind of my reaction to reading the article. Definitely interesting to reflect back on some of my life experiences given this context and consider how things could have turned out differently, both for the worse or for the better.

"Total disaster" sounds like hyperbole. None of the bullet points justify that description. It might not be as successful as Google might have hoped, but they probably had the appetite for such a risk.
The man with a literal gun has very real authority. An authority often has the ability to threaten punishment for noncompliance. Resisting is a tradeoff. Not doing your math homework in middle school "cause it's dumb", for example, is kinda stupid, because the punishment doled out (bad grades, hostile teachers, extra work) are worse in the long run then just dealing with doing something pointless.

Resisting where you can actually do some good is useful. Always blindly resisting is at least suboptimal, but the word disorder might not be entirely off base.
I choose to invest with Betterment instead of Vanguard or Schwab, much of it comes down to the ease with which I can interact with their services in comparison. Betterment has a nice iPhone app, and even in the app, everything I could possibly want to do is no more than 1 or maybe 2 touches away.

For comparison, I rolled over quite a bit of money from a Vanguard fund into Betterment in part because the interaction with my money was more difficult in Vanguard, and I pretty much had to use the website. I also have a work plan with Fidelity invested in a target retirement fund with very low fees, but again the app and how I interact with my money is terrible in comparison.

I understand Betterment is doing less, which is probably why everything is so easy to find, but for someone like me who wants to have their money 100% in equity assets and diversified with an easy dashboard, Betterment is far and away the simplest. A nice bonus is that I can crank my allocation up to 100% stocks 0% bonds which it seems none of the target date retirement funds will allow (I have stable assets invested elsewhere and don't need the exposure in my Betterment accounts).
I agree that's an interesting comparison to make but I'm not sure of the answer. The original purpose of this work was not to generate word vectors but rather to evaluate whether we have enough data to start using deep learning algorithms. That an RNN trained on our data was able to learn word vectors with a significant amount of structure seems like a positive sign. But I don't know how the quality of these word vectors would compare to vectors generated by more standard word2vec algorithms.

If by that you mean centuries, I'd agree. Dehumanization of classes of people is a feature of human civilization going back to the beginning of human civilizations. Look at the link you posted. Right at the top is a picture that proves the point.

There's no conspiracy. It's what we do, it seems, for better or worse.

This article in particular though, I don't really see it? It's biologists suggesting a model for understanding features of human evolution. It doesn't at all suggest we treat people with disrespect en masse. It doesn't at all suggest we censor a class of humans for political/economic gains.

You want to shine light on a conspiracy to dehumanize? Try going after something that matters. Like wage labor, student debt, consolidation of wealth... All which are truly dehumanizing facets of our society that impact people on a wide scale. This article is biologists comparing notes in a very limited context, with very limited power/authority to subjugate people.

This post reads like paranoid ramblings of someone unable to compartmentalize things into appropriate context.
Interesting. So under this working theory, the entirety of the IA is fundamentally against copyright unless specifically allowed/released per site?

So perhaps a new IA that only indexes creative commons licensed sites might be in order?
I second that :)

Many of the shoppers using Price Zombie likely relied on Price Zombie's historical pricing data and notifications of price drops to delay purchases until prices for items were relatively low. The affiliate link gave Amazon data on which shoppers were using Price Zombie. Maybe someone at Amazon used their data to estimate the decrease in margins from that, causing Amazon's leadership to change its mind.
If you were developing a product, would you invest time, money, and research into a feature that (maybe) one or two percent of your users would utilize?

Exactly. This is a positive thing.

Only thing missing is that Netflix should put a notice on the video that the quality may be bad because Netflix is protecting against overages.

When I watch a video on a phone most of the time I don't even good quality video. I just need enough to follow along.

The exceptions I can think of:

1. movies/shows/scenes where there is some sort of significant visual reveal: a facial expression that shows an opinion contrary to what is being said; a letter shown that the viewer needs to be able to read

2. characters that are sneaking around

3. heavy action movies with lots of changing scenes/explosions etc.

But for something like House of Cards; its fine.

I have larger screens for a reason.
Didn't Amazon buy them up a few years back?
I think that things you are forced to read are generally more boring. Even things in college that I was interested in became monotonous when I was forced to read the subject material, whereas things that I decided to research organically were always entertaining and I could spend hours looking into the subject without feeling fatigued.

Thinking that kids are different or incapable of learning on their own is just people wanting kids to go through the same meat grinder of education that they did. My partner was unschooled, and after talking to her and getting over the initial reaction of "that's nuts" I feel like it actually makes a ton of sense. The data support it. I don't care if you're kid can't read at 7 -- if it's not due to a disability such as dyslexia -- and neither does their future education.
I understood it how empathy doesn't "causes" us to bomb people, but how it is used to manipulate the masses into believing it's a good thing. The masses wouldn't allow it if they didn't believe it was a good thing, is what I think his argument is.

This is not a very strong argument anyway, because people can be manipulated in plenty other ways regardless. Empathy here is not the cause, but merely one of many tools to manipulate the masses.
> To me it seems just as dangerous to over-diagnose political anti-authoritarianism as it is to over-diagnose medical ADD.

We're not currently at risk of under-diagnosing ADD. We're at risk to further over-diagnose it. The article and parent post did not say nobody should be diagnosed ADD. The article's author is merely shocked how many people are misclassified as needing to be medicated.
Because if you trust your email provider(s) then big baddies can't manipulate it. It's about improving the threat model, not "solving it." Basically it cuts off the easiest attack angles from very sophisticated hackers and governments.

Ah this is great. Would love to use it.

I recently started following a stricter version of my daily schedule and was thinking about placing dash buttons around my apartment to record how well I have been following said schedule. This might be help in setting it up more easily.
Scaling. The whole point of these businesses is that they have minimal per-user costs. 100K customers and $3B in assets costs maybe 50% less in humans than 10M customers and $30B in assets.
UPDATE: Hey, lot's of downvotes for this post. Would be great if you guys could explain why you downvote.

Sorry, but not much sympathy from me.

1) You knowingly violated the terms of service. Therefore you are denied service now. Nothing to complain about. Honestly, if the API of my website would be intentionally abused in a way that I explicitly exclude in my TOS, I would be seriously pissed. I would probably think about suing you. Not only denying you further service.

2) You whine, bitch and complain because others did not get the same treatment as you. There are also many murders and robbers who are not in prison. If it would not be allowed to put one criminal into prison unless we put them all into prison, there would be no law and order at all.

3) You encourage the problem. By shutting down just because Amazon kicked you out. Why not address the problem that 90% of your revenue came from one single retailer? Why not talk to the other retailers and the users and see if there is a way to work it out? Do the difficult thing: CREATE! Don't beg!

Sorry, if this sounds harsh. I welcome and applaude every tech entrepreneur. But please stand up and fight for the right thing. For a better world. Not just for a bit of profit by bending the rules.
That's going to be interesting. Chomsky doesn't seem to be extra concerned about the Internet. His position, AFAIU, is that all the current problems are just a new reincarnation that have been with us for a long time. I guess Snowden's and Greenwald's position is somewhat different.
A few thousand might be a lot of negotiations. Often the assymetric keys like EC or RSA are only used once to negotiate a smaller/faster key for aes.
"The whistle-blower himself says he has always been incredibly careful about what exactly he discloses, and to whom. “I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest,” Snowden told the Guardian. “There are all sorts of documents that would have made a big impact that I didn’t turn over.”"
I'd say Forte for sure. They have a 48 hour deposit time on credit/debit transactions. For eChecks they can work it out that funds are deposited in 24 hours. Sales, Customer Service, and Tech Support has always been a good expirience for me.
Unless they signed a legally binding contract that obligates them to continue the arrangement, they can terminate it at any time for any reason. Avoiding ToS violations does not prevent that.

I still had to purchase the game to stream it, but your point is taken in this regard...except it goes both ways.

As a Let's Play streamer - why the hell should I play your game if I can play some other game that will allow me to be compensated for my time? Name me an advertisement agency that will advertise your product for free. Because that's essentially what large streamers have become.

Can always license out the rights to stream the game to already large streamers rather than rolling the dice with small no-names.
But not everyone has the time or money to maintain an email server running 24/7. Thus why people resort to hosted services. Also the configuration of mail servers nowadays is a huge pain in the backside. They always get tagged as spam unless you go through a ton of hoops. It's flat out annoying.
You definitely need some screenshots at least on mobile. I skimmed the page and left cause I didn't see anything. Glad I read the comments to see why it was upvoted, now I at least know to check it out later on my main machine. If this weren't HN you'd have lost me though!

Upvoted you.

As a huge supporter of mass transit and the public good, methinks the era of centralized big bang projects are coming to an end.

In the '80s, one of my buddy's sci-fi stories (a detective novel, mystery) featured on demand personalized transportation. I've been wanting that forever. With the cost of collaboration and coordination falling thru the floor, its inevitable. Stuff like Uber, Pronto, Car2Go, ZipCar are exciting precursors.
That's a fantastic page. I was in from '03-'08, and was issued woodland BDUs, desert DCUs, and finally the UCP ACUs. Multicam and the new OCP pattern have come since. I had 2 versions of the PT uniform (which have changed once or twice since), and narrowly avoided having to purchase the new dress uniform.

Overall, the Army needs to find a uniform that it likes and stick with it. Particularly for something that does not affect combat effectiveness (PT, Dress), a single style should be good for decades.

I think that the Army should define a garrison uniform that they can stick with, something along the lines of the BDU with the additional pockets of the ACU. Then define a combat uniform for different terrain or combat theaters as needed.
Unless you have an unsubvertible agent carrying the item, you cannot rely on tracking info. How do you know that the tracking data is actually correct and how do you know that the eight hours it spent sitting in a warehouse in Kentucky weren't eight hours used to install malware?
Yeah. It's just digital camo. Its been used for a long time.
Most large organizations end up functioning at all because there are networks of competent, motivated individual that use that kind of favor trading and rule breaking to make the system work despite the bureaucracy. A key part of joining a new large org is to look for one of those networks and prove that you have the skill and attitudes required to get hooked up into that network.

It's amazing how companies can flourish or wither depending on whether the people on those networks end up growing in status and exercising more influence, or marginalized and quitting.

SHA1 fell out of favor long before any collision was found -- it fell out of favor in 2012 or even earlier, when it was clear that one will be found sooner than later.

FWIW, there is no publicly known SHA1 collision yet. There's a known freestart collision, and a real world (non-freestart) collision is expected to be found within the next couple of months by the same group (the search is already running on their cluster - and the expected time to success is a couple of months). They have already found the first pair that they need out of two.

So are you arguing that facebook shouldn't have launched, because users exist who don't understand how to log in to it?
It is a fact though, you disagree with it and you disagree with the statements and actions of our government.

The question is how existentially frightening you think that fact is.
Solution: monthly full core releases and daily update packs of the complete archive in torrent form.

Offload the copyright risk to those more willing to take it and you get to keep doing your friendly neighborhood scraping.
Agreed. People get the completely wrong idea simply because a computer is involved. It's the same as doing a black hole simulation - sure you have to code it up on a computer, but a CS student is not going to be able to do a full black hole simulation. You're going to need a physics phd, not even a physics student.

Same for crypto - you need a crypto phd for a fully secure novel crypto implementation, not a cs student.
While whistle blowing unconstitutional surveillance on American citizens may be a service, mass dumping of info on classied programs to China and Russia is almost treason (we are not at war).
These are called carriers and utilities. There ar generally laws requiring them to offer the same business opportunities to everyone. Common carrier laws originated in England to regulate shipping carriers. I am not sure to what extent they exist in the US due to the federal postal service, but I understand that they are applied to telecommunications and more recently, the Internet via Title II.
>Also, would you rather have users willingly giving their data to a foreign company (legally liable, bound to a published privacy policy) or unwillingly to malware authors and credentials phishers? In the current security landscape this is a very real tradeoff to think about.

False dichotomy. As well, keep in mind that those privacy policies are subject to change w/o consent and are overridden by any country's government. So even with your false dichotomy you're just choosing _who_ steals your data, not if someone does. I'd rather live in a world where I can use services and not give away my data.
Can anyone recommend me a good Android game? Good is subjective, but I find that Android games pale in terms of gameplay and replayability. I'd much prefer to play a GBA emulator on my phone.

I'm more than willing to pay for mobile games, but I've been continually disappointed and how shallow the mobile games industry is.

Mobile games currently have much more in common with Flash games (remember when those were all the rage), than the gaming industry. Cheap, and quantity > quality.
I disagree that a Chrome extension is a good way to handle this. Where would the annotations get stored? There is enough complexity here that a dedicated service is warranted.
I think it's going to be easier to build my startup here, and then fund access to the internet from developing countries.

But I wouldn't fund only access to just my website, I'd fund access to the whole thing.

Which is my objection to zero-rating.

And yes, I'd see this as an absolutely worthwhile use of philanthropic donations if/when I ever make enough to do that.

I don't remember, nor can I find, any reference to not using historical pricing data with amazon associates: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/agreement...

The specific section on pricing in the api doc (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/deta...) seems to indicate historical pricing is allowed if you display the date with it:

"(o) You will include a date/time stamp adjacent to your display of pricing or availability information on your application if you obtain Product Advertising Content from a Data Feed, or if you call the Product Advertising API or refresh the Product Advertising Content displayed on your application less frequently than hourly. However, during the same day on which you requested and refreshed the pricing and availability information displayed on your application, you may omit the date portion of the stamp. Examples of acceptable messaging include:
Amazon.com Price: $32.77 (as of 01/07/2008 14:11 PST - Details)
Amazon.com Price: $32.77 (as of 14:11 PST - More info)
Additionally, you must either include the following disclaimer adjacent to the pricing or availability information or provide it via a hyperlink, popup box, scripted popup, or other similar method: "Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on [relevant Amazon Site(s), as applicable] at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product." In the above examples, "Details" and "More info" would provide a method for the end user to read the disclaimer."

Update:
I'm thinking it's probably a violation of this:

"(n) You will not store or cache Product Advertising Content consisting of an image, but you may store a link to Product Advertising Content consisting of an image for up to 24 hours. You may store other Product Advertising Content that does not consist of images for caching purposes for up to 24 hours, but if you do so you must immediately thereafter refresh and re-display the Product Advertising Content by making a call to the Product Advertising API or retrieving a new Data Feed and refreshing the Product Advertising Content on your application immediately thereafter."
On the contrary. They are qualified enough to know that there's not much they can do, whether it is Lenovo, Apple or Dell.
I don't disagree with #1 (cf my other comment in the thread regarding Adobe's MO). But you'll get your point across better if you quit the snark, that is all.
