Comparative advantage only works if you have something of value to trade. If AIs automates away your job, then you no longer have anything of value to trade with.
Yes, no doubt. I befriended some people from those communities (apparently a rarity) and some of the stories they told made me cringe. There are quite a few stereotypes at work there and if you're born into one of those then you'll be working uphill to escape these. The net effect is that First Nations people tend to be either un-employed or employed as cheap labor only. It's a very sad story and even though on paper the Canadian government is doing all kinds of things to create a more level playing field the only viable option a First Nations born person has to change that is to assimilate.
That seems pretty cool. How long have you been doing this? For your primary email? How has it been working for you?
I've run my own email for about 4 years now -- I'm fairly tech savvy, but don't know much about email -- so was pleased that my "quick" solution has worked well.

I use Apple Server to host the email via SSL on a dedicated server, really easy to configure.

The key thing is deliverability - initially I had some problems with my email going into junk folders.

To get around this I send all email via a service called PostMarkApp (http://www.postmarkapp.com) which allows you to setup SPF and DKIM records on your domain and therefore ensure emails are authenticated.

I get pretty close to 100% deliverability.

PostMarkApp also shows you open / browser stats, so it's quite useful when I wonder if someone has read a particular email.

Not sure if this would be secure enough, but has worked well for me with almost zero maintenance after setup.

Well I live in The Netherlands and somehow I trust the Dutch police to only enter my house for a valid reason, unfortunately I can't say the same for Google/NSA reading my emails.
I just tested the two Emoji displaying Chrome extensions on Linux and compared the output with Mobile Safari.

Chromoji [1] got all of them right, including the special Canadian flag emoji. Emojify got some of them right, but wrongly shows the flag as a "C" and "A" character and misses a few others.

I have a very small (on the side) hosting business that has been running for almost 6 years now and growing little by little.
I have direct contact with my clients and they have it with me in case of need (if they need technical advice or support not necessarily directly related to the services).

And this is exactly the kind of service they were looking for, very difficult to have with a massive business company (have you ever opened a ticket with OVH?)

Then of course, the technical challenges to setup and maintain such services are high and a control-panel all-included package or a docker with everything in it is just a very small part of the work required.
This is an excellent point. Your communication is only as secure as the weakest endpoint (in the same vein, perhaps your correspondents might be of the opposing viewpoint and might feel weird about their personal mails being stored by someone who's rolling his own IT and security).
Management structures in existing companies have already created this in some places I have worked.
> But our fate at the hand of clever cloggs robots may in fact be worse - to summon a class of eternally useless human beings.

Can't help but notice the sensationalist tone.

The author also seems to have a pessimistic view of the future and the role of humans in it. Certain roles may be replaced by AI and humans will move on to do different things, but that does not mean it will render those humans useless. What exactly will humans move on to do is of course an open ended question, but if history is any indication, it won't be bleak as the author predicts.
Some IPTV services in the UK use it (at least BT and TalkTalk with their YouView packages and probably off-the-shelf YouView as well). I had a bit of a nightmare trying to get it working with BT TV when I upgraded from their godawful HomeHub to an ASUS router.

Pretty much every time I've upgraded my router firmware I've lost TV service and had to reconfigure it. Apparently multicast is hard, even if you're a networking company!
Really interesting. I like the way that the total ordering approach makes it clear when an earlier compatibility-version (e.g. 1._) is being maintained alongside a later version (e.g. 2._). That's something that isn't expressible in SemVer.
At least you know if the police have come for your mail.

In practice hosting your own mail provides some control over how to respond to a subpoena. If someone sues you the bar for getting the data by physical force is much higher than it is for having a third party turn it over.

On the other hand the bar for compromising your server is usually much lower than it is for gmail.
> Should be a bit of help for camera makers, so that they can focus on the camera module.

Why would camera makers want to give up on the pattern of tying a new firmware feature to a minor case facelift to celebrate it as a new camera generation? Cameras are a market where a few compulsive update-buyers seem to greatly outweigh the masses of thrice-in-a-lifetime buyers in terms of number of devices sold.
No it doesn't, unfortunately. I misunderstood OP's questions at first. You can connect owncloud to a mail server (a la Roundcube) but nothing more.
there are worrying amout of people that say things ridicilous as this. It would not be a problem if they were put in it's place by being treated as, pardon my language, stupid fucktards disqusting to talk to. Instad these people are treated as forward thinkers that should be listened to. It reminds me a lot of eugenics. In the US that was cutting edge science 100 years ago until germans wanted to implement it. Just like homosexuality is natural is science now.
When people stop distinguishing between left or right and start taking Vatican for not terrorist organisation and something respectable then bad stuff happen. It is bad when society is not imune to people like this.
About LSI(Latent Semantic Indexing)
I remember using an IM client linked to lotus notes (was it sametime?) when I worked in a corporate setting 10 years ago.
it's a lot cheaper to run a camera waiting to record than recording all the time

That does not mean the decision to run the camera should be in the officers' hands though. It should be possible to design an algorithm that automatically starts and stops recording based on officer location (like "shut off the camera when the officer is facing a car dashboard").

Then there's also the option to continuously record audio, even when video recording is turned off. There's so many better alternatives than "give the police officer discretion over when to hide their actions".
It's a useful scapegoat. You can't point pitchforks at tech. You can point pitchforks at the offshorers, union busters, austerians and other job-killers who run our economy.
These screeds have one grave misunderstanding: that AI can compete with a human. It's like apples to oranges.

Alpha Go may have beat the best human player in the world but you can't ask it to fold the laundry or how it felt about Angela's Ashes.

I think we'll be able to optimize away boring, repetitive jobs and tasks that require vast numerical and statistical quantities. And that's a good thing.

We'll just need to adapt our economic models away from the indentured servitude to the Protestant Ethic.

What this means in practice is that you have to set up with DKIM and SPF at minimum. E.g.:

https://www.exratione.com/2016/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-16-...

But: you must then also use a host that is going to give you a decent chance at a non-polluted IP address. The host of the server appears to be a big factor in the hidden part of the anti-spam ecosystem used by the big email providers like Gmail and Hotmail. This means that trial and error and experience in the ever-changing field is the only way to make a good choice. Expect to be moving around a bit as you figure things out. AWS EC2 is the best choice that I know of. Digital Ocean is the worse choice that I know of.

A possible approach is to set up your mailserver so that it relays outbound messages via AWS SES. SES has all of the advantages of a big service that puts in time to ensure deliverability, with few of the downsides, such as large cost.

For calendar apps, you might look at Horde (see an old setup example here https://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-120...) - I don't know how it matches up with other options. I moved away from it because I really didn't need a calendar as it turned out, and Horde is something like 10% application and 90% configuration system. It was a lot of work to get it set up and comfortable.
I'd quit the same day if I had to work in that office.

Exaggeration aside, how do you guys get anything done?
I would say its more a case of, Google is a search company who's revenue model is advertising, while Vice is an online magazine who's revenue model is advertising. Neither of them actually create the ads, they sell space to display them.
I see a lot of replies on the mail side of things, but I don't really see anything detailing solutions for calendars.

Any recommendations on "the rest": calendar, notes, contacts?

I've looked at owncloud before, but that's a fairly large-footprint php project, are there any decent self-hosted alternatives, either as a suite or as separate programs?
I am a programmer. Its totally possible for this to happen. But, bugs will buy us time. We are too stupid (for now, a new language or proof system could change this) to write good enough software to destroy ourselves. Also energy efficiency. Organic life is crazy efficient at turning food into work (If you have access to abundant clean water). Give a person a happy meal and they can walk for days. A robot of the same size/weight/strength will kill it's battery or exhaust it's fossil fuel tank in a few hours.

The last programmer putting the finishing touches on artificial general intelligence (the one that will put programmers out of work too) just needs to make sure "love the meat bags who made you" is the second last instruction. The last instruction is don't alter the second last instruction.

Personally, I would enjoy hiking the west coast trail, drawing and painting more. I will miss coding through. I love the feeling when it finally work the way you want it to. The point being: if we are smart enough to automate all the jobs, we are probably smart enough to provide food/healthcare to everyone for free (basic living wage or whatever). It's not the end of world. There are lots of ways to spend your time.
In any Italian city, "no parking" signs are absolutely everywhere on buildings. If the road is tight enough (which means medieval streets, usually), road signs will also be on buildings, because there is no space for alternatives.
Low doses of ionizing radiation benificial?
Not necessarily. It just shows people are willing to experiment with JSON, even though it might end up badly.
How is this language different to these languages:

- http://nim-lang.org/

- http://crystal-lang.org/

- http://elixir-lang.org/

These other 3 are also small languages doing interesting things, and although Elixir is obviously much different (being more functional than the others), just like Stanza, these seem to be in the same/similar domain.
It was a common idea in the 70s too.

All it takes is a bout of inflation to kill the idea that we've run out of things for people to do. It'll happen to the United States if the flow of underpriced Chinese goods dries up and the US needs to start making its own goods.
BSD UNIX can be good from a security standpoint. But, there are also OS out there written from the ground up to be secure.
The thing is that it also depends on the client side (meaning the software client) and from the sender behaviour.

For instance, I have a client (person) who now and then sends out a newsletter to some hundreds of addresses. He does that directly from the webmail. I always catch him because I have an alert on the mail queue, and every single time I check it I notice that the messages have been delayed because the remote server has a filter on "too many recipients at the same time" or "server sending too fast" or similar.

This affects the way the remote server will consider further emails from your server, and change its "behaviour" temporarily. I use Postgray [1] that does very similar checks, and it is a great deterrent for incoming spammers. So I completely understand this strict checks from the point of view of a sys admin.

Then there is the email content and headers that are checked by spam filters... but that's another story...

And what do you want to say with that?
Google analytics detects click rings and also having a high clickthrough rate, (e.g: over 3%) will immediately trigger a red flag. Of course these guys scaled the ring so large that it's impossible to detect.

anybody has xp with one of these?

> It feels like the early language wins were due to the languages themselves introducing new concepts, not just syntax changes. Allowing higher-level reasoning.

I was looking for somewhere in these threads to post my comments, and I think this is the right place: yes, you're exactly right, it really is about higher-level reasoning.

Assembly enabled one to think about instructions and operations instead of hex codes. Structured languages enabled one to think about programs, rather than sequences of mnemonics. Functional programming enabled one to think about functional transformations of data; object orientation enabled one to think about collections of functionality grouped with data; both structured the structure, in different ways. With each improvement, we were able to reason at a higher level than before.

But we're not at an optimal level yet: we still do not have mainstream ways to manipulate the structure of our structure (… of our structure of our structure, ad infinitum). We still don't have a mainstream way of dealing with our programs as data.

It may not be mainstream, but we do have a way: it's older than every other programming language other than Fortran: it's symbolic expressions, which enable one to reason about and manipulate one's code as data (and data as code).

The article we're both replying to is a prime example of the Blub Paradox: Uncle Bob can see how Java is better than C++, C, assembler or hex codes, but can't see how Python — and, yes, Lisp — are better than Java.

Is there any evidence of this? Simply owning a fake badge doesn't even prove intent, let alone being actual evidence that it happened.
Peer discussions in liberal arts classes aren't of great quality at most universities. Although I certainly would agree that thoughtful conversations in the humanities are good things, they are rare to find in a typical university where liberal arts is pushed on students because "they can't handle STEM".

Even if the conversations WERE of good educational quality, are they truly worth the extra time to graduation that they entail? Remember, the $100K pricetag on four years at a state flagship is borne mostly by middle-class kids trying to improve their chances at good careers. Bureaucrats forcing them to take unnecessary liberal arts classes are important players in today's storied student loan crisis.
AlphaGo is only the beginning. The same tech in alphaGo has recently caused massive improvements in speech recognition, machine vision, translation, NLP, etc.

It won't be long before you can have a robot that will understand "fold the laundry", and be able to control a robot body to do it. We've had robotic tech for a long time. But only right now is the AI catching up to make use of it.
Given all the comments indicate that AES 128 is considered secure, do SSL Labs need to change their scoring algo for the cipher suite?
This was the problem I ran into when trying to self-host. Getting postfix etc set up was a pain in the ass, but I was getting flat-out refusal responses from big mail providers. Ended up pointing my MX records at google and paying them five buck a month to host it for me.
Really hoping that was sarcasm...
Important thing when you allow people to give negative marks to others is that they should also get some negative value for thumbing someone down.

That's how society works. Punishing bad actors is left to people who agree to suffer the cost of dealing punishment.

There are such people. Punishing is to pleasent for them to have bo cost.
First, read the article before commenting. This is about automation replacing jobs, not the singularity.

Second energy efficiency isn't a big deal. A robot army that runs on petrol is still scary. Energy efficiency has not kept machines from beating humans physically, at all.

Lastly, it's impossible to code "love the meat bags who made you". AI's do not take English language instructions. You need to specify exactly what you mean by "love" and "meat bags", etc, and not make any mistakes at all.
The first time I hosted my own email, on sendmail, it just worked. So I don't understand the question about setting it up. Configuring it for security took some study but it wasn't difficult. No more difficult than any other serious program I use.

Calendars are similar to forms on the web. Again, no more issues than normal so I don't get it.
Barnton Quarry bunker in Edinburgh (about 4 km west of where I live) is being renovated and will hopefully be open soon:

http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/index.php/Secrets/BarntonQu...

This bunker would have been the Regional Seat of Government for Scotland:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Seat_of_Government

Given that its location and purpose wasn't a secret I imagine it would have been blown to bits in any conflict.
Humans with fewer skills than the elite were not pushed out of the employment market by the invention of dishwashers, laundry machines, or vacuum cleaners. The invention of AI is hardly different.
>What do you do to, say, .72 - port changes? Ignore it? Does anyone actually care about in-betweens?

It seems that your project was misusing version management.

Despite the name, version management is not actually taking care of managing your software versions for your project. It takes care of the bit level versions, you still need people to manage the semantics and human side of it.

If different groups can push an pull things without anyone accepting, rejecting and deciding what is release branch and development branch, you are doing it wrong.
It would be a HIPAA/data retention nightmare for certain classes of public servants (namely public EMS services)
You've confused 'identifying propaganda in action' with 'actively engaging in delivering propaganda'.

Over and over again in these threads you have defended Taiwan as a sovereign state. You keep thinking I am attacking Taiwan's status as an independent country. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am however pointing out how Taiwan isn't always recognised as a country.

Thats not my opinion, it is the opinion of many countries.. including the UN. Don't confuse it with my own opinion. These are the facts. It would be deluded to deny these facts. You could at very least provide evidence that says otherwise - you haven't.

Instead you have been deluded to the point of accusing me of touting propaganda for mentioning these things.
This is true, but I'd say that industrialisation up to this point has already created a swathe of people who have significant trouble finding a job.

100 years ago someone who's capabilities maxed out at wielding a showel cut still find work. Today that's pretty difficult. Granted, must people can up their capabilities by education, training, etc. but not everyone.

New technology (including clever software, sometimes labeled AI) will continue this trend.

True AI will also replace people, but that'll be way different (http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolu...).
Something I never see answered in these discussions: What are the previous workers to do, those whose jobs were so simple that a properly configured AI can perform it faster and better.
Every other job that they would be capable of is just as likely to be replaced by another properly configured machine. If every possible tasks a person would be capable of handling can be solved by a specific machine in a better way then what should these people do?
I am not talking about engineers or white collar workers. I'm talking about people who were unfortunately born with what I'd for a lack of a better word call "low IQ" though I know that the term and the science behind it is highly flawed.
Currently, those persons are in the vast minority. Only a small percentile of the human population falls into this category. But as AI gets smarter, year over year, the minimal job requirement will grow.

I, personally, think that we have to accept that there'll be a world where not everybody will be able to have a job. And we should prepare for it.
It's advertised and designed to "feel" like a public space, in an effort to disguise the truth of the ownership. Lack of a true public alternative is sad.
...huh, I had assumed so strongly that it worked like 'normal' x.y versioning that I had to go back and re-read the manifesto to realize that this was how it was intended to work.

Useful comment!
I understood the title perfectly well. I was pointing out the use of the Christian definition of "animal" in a story about genetic manipulation. With signaling like that, I really don't need to read the article to know what it's trying to say. It's also clearly signaling that I'm not the intended audience for the article.

(edit to add: if it were written for me, the article would have used "chimera" in the title)
What will happen to owner(s) of AI? Will they survive? :-)
> World never asked for this.

He did call it a manifesto. That's the whole point.
A dishwasher or a laundry machine can do one thing. For every task, you need to create a very particular machine. AI is different, you just train it on the task like you'd train a human worker and that's it. No need to invent a new machine.
Perhaps this is just convenient for employers. The real problem could be in shift change procedures but they aren't incentivised to fix this and lower shift times.
