Ugh, when I was a teen I worked as a produce clerk in an ailing grocery chain that had just been bought out by a regional competitor. One of the biggest changes was that company policy forbade donations of old produce or meats, but old baked goods were ok.

Basically, a bunch of rich shareholders figured it would be all-in-all better to insulate their assets from lawsuits instead of helping feed the poor and hungry.

Not necessarily Google, but yes some amalgamation of technology.

Your senses are staggeringly limited and your brain is a mess when it comes to determining what is "real" or not.

We use technology to fill the gaps. That's what technology is for - to allow us "see", interact with and influence the world through discrete and explicit measurement in ways our biological systems can't.

How is that not the dream? Augmenting and eventually replacing our biological capabilities with robust, high precision systems is the ultimate goal.

It demonstrates that different internal mental states influence actions in predictable ways. I don't think that it kills the concept of free will, but I don't think that it provides evidence for it, either.
Yeah, even other Voxers (like Ezra Klein) commented on the headline. 15 percent seems like quite a lot.
I think you're underestimating the amount of "integration" Google will do with this product to make it the default everywhere.

Google Plus started being integrated into the search results, Picasa, Youtube comments, Android app reviews, and every other place they could think of, basically making it the default Google authentication.

They eventually de-integrated Plus after tons of user complaints (and possibly seeing how horrible the product itself was).
"But this pessimism rests entirely on one assumption: that we have no realistic prospect of developing new classes of antibiotics any time soon, antibiotics that our major threats have not yet seen and thus not acquired resistance to."

Uh, no. The "pessimism" (as it were) doesn't extend from that assumption. It extends from the fact that very few people are doing the basic research anymore, and even fewer companies are willing to invest the enormous amounts of money necessary to shuttle candidate drugs from promising lead to clinical approval. It's not as if this is the only story of a candidate antibiotic. Most don't become drugs.

And in any case, the "pessimism" isn't really pessimism, so much as a community of knowledgable people sounding the alarm about an impeding crisis. To the extent that it gets people doing innovative things to solve the problem, it's a good thing, not something to be criticized. I don't even know why you would write this kind of piece -- the caveats at the end notwithstanding, it makes it sound like we don't have to worry anymore, because things are "speeding up". But they aren't speeding up. This is a good discovery, but it's just a start.
maybe I'm weird but I recently traded the density and short commute for a longer bus commute (hour each way) out to the suburbs and I actually like it better. I like having my work and home be two completely separate worlds, as well as not having to smell fermented bum pee on the suburban bus routes.

Well, the DMCA has something to do with in, in that the DMCA approach of adopting a safe harbor process rather than a mandatory process is exactly what encourages businesses to make other arrangements that differ from the DMCA process if by doing so they can reduce their costs and satisfy the key players from whom they would be concerned about litigation in the absence of the safe harbor, while neglecting the interests of parties -- e.g., most people that aren't big media companies -- to whom they would have no or insignificant liability without the safe harbor.
I wonder how much uptake Allo is going to have. Personally I'm going to stay away from it - why should I need to compete with a robot to provide authentic responses?

People are going to pick apart what you say on Allo. "Did he just click on the bot response, or did he really mean that?"

The problem with some of the really nice solutions on HN, like Tarsnap and Rsync.net is that they're really expensive compared to the alternatives. Tarsnap is $0.25/GB, over 5x the price of standard, 99.999999999% durable S3. Rsync.net is ~8c/GB with the HN discount, still over twice the cost of S3.

Compare that to Backblaze or CrashPlan, which do all your PCs for $5/month.
There's an explanation of why we care about alpha releases in the article - does that cover it for you?
You have a point, but I think it is a useful distinction when it comes to work. Talent and skill (while affected by things out of an individual's control) set the baseline of what you are able to accomplish/your potential. Luck plays a bigger role in whether or not you get the opportunity to use and/or grow those skills/talents.

Think about manufacturing a 2.6GHz processor. Many of them come out of the line unable to reach 2.6GHz, some come out to 2.6, and some can even achieve greater speeds. That is your talent/skill (which is predisposed on your luck during the manufacturing process). The processor has no control where it ends up (though the QC process will have some effect), it could end up in a scientific computing cluster where it continually works on complicated problems. Or it could end up in a soccer mom's PC where it is used for email and light web browsing.

This is an imperfect analogy as a processor is not a biological medium so they degrade, whereas a biological medium would more likely improve/strengthen when stressed. So while there is luck in creating talent/skill/potential, there is still a need for distinction between luck and the talent you are born with.
And protection of it is pretty pathetic. I live in an area that seems to have free license to build new subdivisions on it (Waterdown bypass, Waterdown rd expansion, 'Waterdown south' developments).

Sure, but I think his point is about perception. The GM brand is every bit as ugly and even if they rebadged a Tesla and sold it (or maybe an iPod) it would be perceived poorly.
For us beginners, professionals from other areas that want to use Python as an additional tool, this situation is quite confusing. I'm doing Python MOOCs and most of them focus on Python 2.

The demo showed only some use cases which mostly look like first world problems, but i personally see a huge need for this. I mean there are millions of people who plan things over chat and Google showing search results for movies, restaurants, flight ticket prices etc in the chat which can be viewed by all the users is very huge IMO. Also, if they open up the platform for other bots like Google, basically we are seeing a FB messenger bot like platform. I will just open the incognito mode they are offering if and when needed.

As someone who works in a K-12 setting, I'm not surprised. 1:1 chromebook initiatives are exploding across the country, and with it, a flurry of new edtech apps for K-12. At the end of the day, Chromebooks win over both iPads and Macbooks on price and functionality -- 21st century skills include being able to type and work your way around a computer. On top of that, Google's provisioning and management systems are so far the best, but definitely not perfect yet.

> A correct description of an electron, whether as a wave function in ordinary space or a state vector in a Hilbert space, shows that it doesn’t need to be “disturbed” by anything in order to be subject to the uncertainty principle.

That's not such a big problem. I think we can get good an inferring values from behavior and using values in marketing. Then if you download an app that has positioned itself with certain values, the designer can reasonably assume that you hold those values.

I agree, it is terrifying.

They say the average US household has $15,762 of Credit Card debt.[0] (that's disputed it could be from 5K to 15K depending on what numbers you believe) [1]

With an average rate of 15.07%[2]

Which works out to something like a minimum payment of $600 a month with $188 of it going to interest.

The Average US consumer is not just tapped out but actively being strangled by debt.

"47: The percentage of Americans who can’t pay for an unexpected $400 expense through savings or credit cards"[3]

What this really means is a near majority of the country is on the very brink of bankruptcy one trip to the ER (with insurance) or a tire blowout and down they go.

The terrifying part is that any hint of recession and the ripple effect could take a lot of us down with it.

You couldn't be more right. Looking at apps on Apple's App Store, you will often see them bragging about their app being "Addictive," or in reviews, people will state how addictive the app is as if that were a good thing.
On the bright side maybe we'll get to the point where the bullshit social media conversations are all done by bots. Then we can devalue and ignore them and only have to actually participate in actual conversations.

My bot can just continuously post variations on "Here is a belief, validate it!", "Accept this high status social posturing as true!", "My worldview has been questioned. Outrage! Let us form a mob and bully the outsider into silence!", "I have performed a meaningless I-am-a-good-person ritual, please reassure me that although my employment is based on doing harm to people I am still a good person". And other bots can respond with messages of vague support/retweets/likes/whatever.

Since we seem determined to allow others to control and influence our private conversations let's at least get something out of it.
Thanks! You've reminded me that I should also quote Joux' reuse attack against GCM, which is particularly disastrous: an attacker can create forgeries without knowing the master secret, making the result not IND-CCA2 secure.

It's something that's hidden in Crypto 101 right now, but not particularly obviously, and I should come up with a way to make that clearer. It differs a bit between the individual systems, but a lot of modern auth works on the same principle:

- we have secure MACs/ciphers that work on lots of data
- we have fast authenticators, but they only work once (one-time MACs)

... so run the fast authenticator on the large pile of data and protect the fast authenticator with the secure construct (usually a cipher).

This is how Poly1305, for example, works: Poly1305 is a fast polynomial-based MAC that you run on the entire message, and then you protect its output with e.g. AES or ChaCha20. The nonce that Poly1305 takes actually works like a hidden CTR-like scheme: it's encrypted using AES, and the output is mixed with the fast (one-time-secure) MAC. An attacker doesn't know the encryption of the nonce under that AES key (that AES key is part of the authentication key), so they're unable to determine the original value of the Poly1305 polynomial.

The details of how e.g. GCM, secretbox... work are different, but it's the same idea.
I speak only for myself but I think it's has to do with GM spending decades and billions of dollars to produce something a Tesla handily out performs.

I'm aware that a Tesla Model S is twice the cost but nonetheless I consider the Model S to be lightyears ahead of the Volt, if for no other reason that it does 300+miles on electricity alone.
Requiring apple hardware to develop for ios is a pretty big reason to prefer mbp over pixel. Even if you aren't an ios developer, a development shop that does mobile will most likely deploy macs to their developers.

That may be because of who is buying them. They are making huge inroads to public schools (a former apple stronghold). The "Cloud Everything" bit solves a large "where's my data" problem that used to plague our kids WRT school work. No more taking the wrong thumbdrive to school problem.

There is also the case of the sum of the allocations of several malloc operations exceeding that threshold. The case of just 1 malloc operation being that large is just a special case of that. That is what I meant, but reading what Ibwrore made me realize that I was not clear about that.
Maybe because the GPUs aren't used efficiently with the current technology. E.g. Webrenderer for Servo was designed to make great use of GPUs right from the beginning and the first results are really impressive.

Not really, the linux is a volunteer effort spearheaded by a non-profit where members take advantage of the advance of the kernel for their own products/ideals, while Google is very much a for-profit corporation which benefits here by the increase in users for their services. Services which are ad-supported for the most part.
Spotify pays artists as much as piracy does, in many cases, while be socially acceptable and normalized.

For example, I got a book at Barnes and Noble the other day, and when I responded to the cashier's pitch for a Barnes and Noble card with something like "No thanks, I get most of my books through torrents", they looked at me like I was trying to talk about the taste of baby meat. Your average content consumer pays for media, and there is no definitive evidence pirates would pay for music and media if free downloads were not available. Spotify, on the other hand, is targeted at those people who would normally buy music, and offering a cheaper alternative that also pays the artist substantially less (almost nothing, in some cases).
Ruby 1.9 rewarded your upgrade efforts by running twice as fast. There was a lot of enthusiasm to migrate.

> But you don't see a lot of people arguing that therefore there was never a need for any lending in the first place

Because loans give you money now to repay later. It's not loans that are unnecessary, it's rolling over loans that is bad when you could have gotten a longer loan at the start.

> You haven't benefited them; you've made their operating costs significantly higher. No one benefited from your change to the system.

You're forgetting your own words. Getting extra loans when they already have loans becomes harder. They won't be able to get so many loans that the cost is higher overall. They will be stuck with 'merely' 2-3 times as much loan money, for example. It will be impossible for them to have higher costs.

> They won't be helped by the higher-cost lower-APR loan because they will not "take $230 from their paycheck, move $200 from one pocket to another, pay off $20, and have a bonus $10", and don't understand that process. They will take $20 from their paycheck, pay off $20, spend the rest of their paycheck on analogical heroin, and wind up with $0, which is less than $10.

You're not arguing against what I said, you're just saying that the $10 they didn't spend on fees gets spent on something else. Well that's the goal, isn't it?

They always get their paycheck. They don't have to understand loaning for that to happen. At the end of they day they have $210 in their pocket when they used to have $200. They might spend it all on heroin, but they will have $10 more of it.

Okay, reading that I see the following quote:

"I think that they would be literally unable to summon the motivation necessary to get that kind of cash if it were for anything less desperate than feeding an addiction."

That's an extremely valid argument for that particular situation, but it does not apply to paycheck money. You already put in the effort, and earned it. You're just making a slightly different transaction on the way home.
nostrebored is just pointing out that the median and arithmetic mean are both averages.
It's not necessarily just a personal thing. We as a people haven't yet figured out how to value or not value this new deluge of distraction and information. Social rules are doing more to curb smoking now than any health warnings - everyone I know who's quit recently does so because it's seen as a bad thing to do by people. If overuse of media was treated the same way we tread people with any other addiction (social shame, professionals to help) it would be less of a problem. But a huuuge amount of people just spend their time tuning out and going down the information rabbit hole and not spending any time pursuing their goals (myself included)
You can even get a full Ubuntu installation in a chroot very easily using a neat tool called Crouton[1]. Crouton lets you jump in and out of chromeos and ubuntu with a keyboard shortcut.

Do you know a tool that turns Google webfonts into base64 for direct embedding?
when will this be available?
Disagree. People are terrible at aligning behaviors with stated "values."

Economists look at this dissonance as "revealed preferences." While it may be the best thing we have to describe behavior, it's not well aligned with self-image - which is really what stated preferences aka "values" are.

As a result, designing systems around revealed preferences might be advantageous in the short term - it conflicts with people's long term self concept.

This ends up being a normative economics (< a rare thing any more) and philosophy question.

Some people in the AI safety community have explored this idea of consolidating values, as the seed goals for artificial general intelligence - but it proved to be impossible.
Yeah, if I had kids, and they weren't using Chromebooks, I'd advise them to do everything on Google Docs anyway.
And in this case, what do you think would be the motivation of companies like Google who uses data to monetize for any innovation and provide better service? Companies have to sustain and the only way to be sustainable at that scale as Google is to monetize using the data. You can always go incognito.
My answer to both is "I don't know, but probably".

Perhaps then the discussion should be about why tax breaks are erroneously associated with marriage, which in many heterosexual unions doesn't produce children (should we ban marrying a post-menopausal woman?), than about why homosexual marriage shouldn't be allowed. Marriage has many other benefits that aren't directly related to bearing children.
