I've been saying something similar for years.

Background: I am Finnish. The country routinely tops the world corruption perception index as the least corrupted country in the World. (Not every year, but you get the point.)

In my mind, that tells diddly squat about how well things are in Finland. It only highlights how wretched the situation is even in the runner-up country.

Building an AI Assistant is a very hard problem, in and of itself. Making your service decentralized seems like it will add a lot of complexity and present some limitations.

Just been reading about Justin Trudeau's background.

* BA in English literature from McGill University

* BEd from the University of British Columbia

* worked as a teacher in Vancouver

* studied engineering

* began a master's degree in environmental geography.

This might be why his cabinet is stuffed with people who actually know their jobs. He's altogether a more interesting person than the usual run-of-the-mill politician, who is more like a turtle on a fence-post:

You know he didn't get up there
by himself. He doesn't belong
there; he can't get anything done
while he's up there; and you just
want to help the poor, dumb thing
down.

Yeah, that's not Trudeau.
Bah, the past tense in a summary is just bad grammar. It is regularly correct to use the present, also called the narrative present as wikipedia will have you know.
I used to live in a town with a similar system, which worked great. I suppose the difference was that the maintainer (the municipality power company) was never an ISP themselves.

Nice PR spin, but I do not believe their lies. They are just riding the Apple-PR-train, and people are eating it up wholesale. The whole of win10 is open to machinations and spying on you. You even sign your privacy away in their eula.

Do not believe their lies. Microsoft is a harmful entity.
I find the idea that a few powerful people have such enormous influence that nobody else's ideas matter to be more insidious than the idea of a government that tries to level the playing field.

Edit: I wanted to add that I feel like money being treated as speech is the same as running an organization that goes with whatever the loudest man in the room has to say, rather than the best ideas. Have you ever been in a meeting where someone with a big voice and a small brain steals all the airtime by never stopping talking?
I asked the @AppleSupport twitter account the same thing. You have to disable the old and enable the new - there is no automatic way to jump from one straight to the other.

On the plus side, I believe the security questions become irrelevant again once you've setup the new 2FA.
With proper competition nobody would dare to introduce something like that, because people would just switch to one of the other ISPs in a heartbeat.

It became clear to me that there isn't any money to be made in desktop FOSS software, as most users either pay for their tools, or end up pirating or using FOSS software if they don't plan to spend any money.

Desktop software just isn't the same as sellling consulting, trainings or SaaS licenses behind browser paywalls that server based software enjoys.
What if you want content that's half-way between the summary and what the author wrote?

You never lose by getting more votes - the nice thing about instant run offs is it simple (just rank) and it is close to the ideal outcome. It is not perfect, but it is not too bad.

In regards stability it is better than proportional voting which tends to splinter the electorate. With instant run offs the candidate that is close to the consensus tends to win.
The title is unnecessarily inflammatory. In the US, lawyers do not sue anyone. They're not allowed to. They represent clients.

I rather like the outrageous and ballsy response from one of Holland's biggest comedians, especially considering that we have a similar law here (if I understand correctly):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6jW2cIMfos (Dutch)

For those who don't speak Dutch: Teeuwen is expressing his outrage over the fact that when Erdogan used to be a 'boy whore' in Istanbul, he was paid by Teeuwen for sex. And even though Teeuwen 'stimulated' Erdogan, the latter didn't return the favor (and do what he was paid for). He also says that many other people have the same complaint, including our prime minister.

When the interviewer tries to clarify and explain to the viewer that this is a satirical bit to make a point, Teeuwen insists over and over again that this is the literal truth and that it's not satire.

Crass, but effective. In an interview a few days earlier Teeuwen actually argued that this is what people should do en masse, especially in places with such a law, and despite the risk.

If you consider that he is not an idiot and knows that there's a real risk in doing these kinds of things, and that a good friend of his (Theo van Gogh) was actually murdered over insulting islam, it's an incredibly courageous thing to do.

Ultimately it's wing fatigue that takes them down.

If you were the representative of a small district you would face exactly the same problem as with big districts. You would still face the interest trading that all politicians face.

I would imagine that committees would get bigger. Hopefully with more politicians you would get more people who actually knew about the area that they were on a committee for. The main thing is once you got rid of the need for money the desire to be on a powerful committee would decrease.
Don't get me wrong, I would like that more type safe languages were available for native cross platform development and I am getting myself deeper in Xamarin.

However one thing that my likeness for Turbo Pascal and Oberon teached me was that making applications with languages which aren't first class on the platform SDKs opens the door to situations like these.

So I rather be more pragmatic, even if it goes a bit against to my preferences and keep my code free of company politics, which may lead to porting the application to other languages.

For instance, never underestimate the power of networking at a elite private school.

A few random stories, all true:

A client of mine is global <role_deleted_to_protect_anonymity> director of a multi-billion dollar Scandinavian corporation largely because a school friend knew a few board members.

A friend obtained deep access to a person, considered to be among the five most powerful people in his country, due to his school network.

Another friend was contacted by a school friend and helped him to land a job in an elite investment bank despite the lack of any relevant experience.

Once you make the connection between the representatives and the votes more personal you will increase the likelihood of voting. As a voter you are not voting for someone you don't know, but for "good old joe" who you speak to every couple of months.

The idea is to not solve every problem with democracy, but to remove the corrupting influence of needing to raise money from vested interests to spend on advertising so you can get elected. This is the major problem.

>If a website is using significant resources, it shouldn't be on the ISP to subsidize their engineering. There have been plenty of websites throughout history that took up significant amounts of traffic relative to the total traffic. They always paid for leased lines (your third diagram) -- it's only recently that one very well liked company running almost entirely off Amazon decided that leased lines were extortion. If you compare the physical infrastructure of Google's YouTube or MLB.tv to Netflix, the difference is huge.

I don't follow. I am a consumer who has purchased an internet service package that advertises 100Mbps down, 10Mbps up, and 100GB of transfer every billable month.

If I, the ISP, have 1000 customers fully utilizing that 100Mbps down between 6-11pm _it is my engineering problem_

Whether it is netflix, google, mlb, or literally anything else. _it is my engineering problem_ to provide the service I am charging for.

Technically it is not compulsory voting, just compulsory turning up at the polling station and put papers in box. If you don't want to vote you don't have to.

I do agree that it is a very good idea, but compulsory voting doesn't solve the corrupting effect of large districts.

Sorry if this is naive, but:

Don't we want intimidation/vote buying of members of congress, in a sense? As a voter, it's important to be able to verify that the people I voted for actually represented my interests, rather than just paying lip service in the campaign. A citizen at the polls has no constituency.

Doesn't seem to me like there's an easy answer, although I'm open to the idea that closed votes are the lesser issue.
I do speed reading: It is real, I am part of a group in Europe that could read a novel in 30 minutes. We are more than 50 people.

The big drawback: we can't read anything that fast. We have to format the content in an specific way that we trained with. For example, reading long lines is a big no no. The idea is to maximize the circular area that you could read on a single eye stroke. With training you make the circular area bigger and bigger.

That is, we need to OCR the book or something that let's us create our own book in digital format(tablet) or decrypt the epub-pdf. That is illegal.

Why people love to speed read things like novels?
Because normal reading is boring and too slow. It is like being told to play football at 1km/hour max.
> losing 10 soldiers isn't cheap.

It's cheaper than losing the plane, the pilot, the resources spent in training, maintenance, and preparation of the whole logistic structure.

Not to mention the asset and its capabilities. After all, a grunt with a gun is less of a threat than a plane carrying an entire arsenal.

I went to college before high school, starting at age 13. I was a full-time student until the age of 15, when I went back to high school due both financial and social reasons.

Going back to high school was great for my social life, but it was horrible for my education. Having already taken a good chunk of a math major, I had to take high school math and science courses because those were the rules. I took a ton of AP courses but still had a poor GPA. In the case of AP chemistry, I got more college credit for passing the exam but an F for the course due to the heavy weighting of homework. Over the next couple of years I lost all respect for formal schooling and became a pretty bad student. On the other hand, I played sports and made some great friends who I still know even now.

In all honesty I can't say if the social costs of staying and finishing a degree at such a young age would have been worse or not. My current thinking is maybe it's okay to skip high school, but don't go back if you do.

> On the opposite end of the spectrum you can get an AC-208 'combat caravan' for $150k in non-sequential bills and a late-model hyundai sonata (KBB value $15k).

Even considering that hypothetical scenario, there's also the cost of training everyone throughout the logistics chain and required to get the plane operational and in the air.

If you lose a peasant, you lose a peasant. If you lose a knight, you also lose the squire, the page, etc etc etc.
>You never lose by getting more votes

Yes you can. Basically the scenario is that by gaining votes from other parties, you can change who is eliminated in the first round, which changes distribution of second round votes.

You can argue about how likely this is to happen, but on some level it doesn't matter. If people can't feel absolutely confident that voting for who they actually want won't reduce their vote's impact, many will continue to vote tactically.
At first, I didn't really understand what you were offering when a lot of people are perfectly happy with Audible and podcasts in general. It wasn't until I saw your demo video when it clicked for me and I really really like what you have. I kind of understand why you guys are marketing this as 'video books', but what I see is a semi-automated documentary factory. Your platform can potentially help people create quality documentaries at a fraction of the time and cost. Content hungry companies like Netflix and Amazon (for Prime Video) would drool at your platform's potential.

You can probably make something similar to like say 'The Story of Maths' with what you have now or the near future.

Hopefully your Apply HN doesn't completely blow mine away, which I'll be posting this coming week ;)
Media Molecule's Dreams is far far more impressive than TiltBrush in my opinion.

The two big things are ability to make stuff fast, far faster than TiltBrush. And, 6d input controllers (which TiltBrush also has) but Dreams has shown no need for VR for the big change in productivity.

Of course Dream's tech in VR and with a VR interface might be even more amazing but at the moment the current Dreams really runs rings around TiltBrush
I'm drawing my conclusions from the visualizations here: http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/ (search for "nonmonotonicity"). Maybe I should have said public opinion. Shifting public opinion closer to your position can make you lose in IRV; I'm not sure if there's an actual vote count increase as well.

From those visualizations and my reading elsewhere it looks like approval voting is the closest to a Voronoi-style partitioning of the opinion space without being subject to strategic voting.

Some hopefully enlightening clarifications in the conflict between Mozilla and Pale Moon:

After the first original postings of that story on various sources there have been a lot of people claiming that the Pale Moon maintainer has just thrown empty air into the room to create attention.

As a half-Italian living in Milan with a more-than-cursory acquaintance & (somewhat stale) interest in computer security (I used to be very active on HITB in the mid-2000s) I always took Hacking Team's existence to be something of an insult, and though I'm no left-leaning anarchist sympathiser, I must admit feeling deeply satisfied when these folks were served a strong dose of their own medicine. To read that their CEO also had the temerity to sign his emails with the odious echo of ”Boia chi molla” makes me angry in the deepest recesses of my core. What is wrong with these fascist nostalgics?
I would tend to think this is more to defend their cloud service, which they see now as a core business. If you are even a small supplier of airbus, after the Snowden revelations, you would be very brave to save any file in a Microsoft/Google/Amazon controlled server.

>> But this approach doesn't work well for problems where the solution is either too complex too be easily described using natural language,

For such solutions, let's say in the business domain - the programmer could work with the domain experts on the general structure of the domain model - business objects, members and methods - while the domain expert will design fill the methods, maybe validation rules(with some tool), all small code sections(so it might be easier to think un-ambigously) - and than the model will be fed to an automated system like naked-objects/ISIS that will handle all the technical stuff automatically.

Than if the system detects an ambiguity, it will offer debug info(and code view) in a format that domain experts understand, and let them fix it - or ask help. And of course you could add testing and code review with programmers and domain experts(who can now read the code) to the mix.

And yes, sure this won't fit every system. But it maybe extend the power of the domain expert.

>> or situations where data sizes or time constraints make it unfeasible for you to be available to handle unexpected situations.

For such situations, a search engine having access to the full code specified in an ambiguous language(not necessary natural), could help tools find/build an code containing an optimized form, and maybe offer help about how to integrate it.
