Indeed. The question clearly isn't "do people even want automat restaurants?" it's just "did the technology to push a button and have food delivered reach some sort of tipping point in 2016?"

Did you also know that original automats from the 30s mostly went bankrupt in the same decades (60s/70s) that the inflation adjusted minimum wage was at its highest and Americans had the most disposable income?

Funny that.
(Tedious disclaimer: my opinion only, not speaking for anybody else. I'm an SRE at Google.)

We run everything on prodimage, so operating system compatibility isn't really an issue.

Realistically, any time somebody sends me a code review with a shell script in it, my first comment is going to be "Why is this a shell script? Rewrite it in a supported language."

Could artificial intelligence achieve consciousness? A philosophical analysis
Yes, please. I've never understood why someone wants to do pub/sub and only base the reliability on TCP/WebSockets. The concept of "fire and hope everyone who wants the message still has a connection open" always seemed fragile to me.

This has been the reason I've recommended implementing long-polling instead of WebSockets for real-time applications. And every time I see a real-time solution which only uses WebSockets I try to steer away from it. Once you have a reliable data model (which includes log position, retrieving old messages etc.) it's just as simple to implement long-polling as WebSockets. With WebSockets-only solution I can't help but think they base all the message delivery reliability on TCP.

This proposal looks like a clean (very Redis-like) solution, and I immediately see use cases for it.
I've been running ads for a bit now on Facebook. Compared to googles ad stack, Facebook's feels definitely more unrefined, to say the least, than Google's. Sometimes basic things on Facebook's platform simply do not work.

Their ad approval process is random. I've had ad's that were not approved, resubmit for "automatic" approval. (Keep trying till it passes into the sample group of Auto-Approve, it's an older account?)

All that said... I know Facebook was under pressure after their IPO to get revenue coming. They've figured out now how to monetize their traffic base and marketers are flocking to their platform. I expect that over time you're going to see slow tightening of their policies, especially as marketers learn to exploit it. It's still impossible to get someone on the phone from Facebook if you have a problem and though you can generate very low cost CPA actions from facebook, it's dangerous to bet big on them right now as this article points out, change is going to have to come.
Sorry to burst your bubble but direct democracy doesn't work everywhere by default.
The downside are populistic decisions like the Swiss minaret referendum. Now we have the sentence «The construction of minarets is prohibited.» in the constitution. (https://www.admin.ch/opc/en/classified-compilation/19995395/...)

I think such regulations should be decreed as a law and not as a constitution norm if at all. But if everybody has a say you get bikeshedding in the constitution.
Not happy with the headline. They voted no for an "unconditional" basic income. I think that is a huge difference, especially when a majority of the voters also want immigration reform.
I get your point, but consider any household with higher income and you'll see all kinds of specialty appliances. (Central vaccums, wine fridges, warming drawers) so a dedicated folding machine would fit right in.

To your point about tops, if you watch the video I could see it being capable to do pants, you may have to fold them over once when you hang them.

I don't think there is a hard rule (or standard) for proper nouns. I always add the 's (e.g. Louis's).
Yeah. The solution is to property tax those businesses out of the high cost of living areas. If basic income were paid for entirely by a new progressive property tax (or even better, a land value tax) it could ratchet down the wealth inequality, not just the income inequality.
And why do you think so?
> So we are supposed to give people purpose in life?

I don't know the answer to that but I was hoping that The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (a kind of AI from a book called The Diamond Age that educated in such a way to enable social mobility) would solve the problem by giving some structure, showcase available possibilities and opportunities in a way specific to a person's current context and where they wanted to go etc.

> You can take those miserable people and ride their wave of misguided contempt to a revolution and grab the power. Then kill everyone who challenges your power.

Yes I know that very well. Murdering your enemies in a fit of righteous rage coupled with self preservation is the most fun a human can have. People will deny this of course, but the evidence is everywhere. It's in our entertainment and our history.

I have two concerns. One is that simply killing people rarely provides long term solutions to systemic inefficiencies or bottlenecks. I think this is the true reason why violence has gradually declined over the centuries. This is true whether it's proles killing elites or elites killing proles.

My second concern is that just as Rome developed Bread and Circuses to distract the citizenry from system reform, we could neuter our population's drive to progress. All the time and energy spent fighting internal battles could make our system vulnerable to outside threats. This won't be politically correct but I don't give a shit.

To a first approximation our young men are the source of all innovation and invention in society, as well as being the most volatile element within it. Currently they are:

- Busy masturbating and playing vidya. [60%] [proles]

- Working frenetically to compete. [30%] [middle]

- Wasting their time with intellectual wankery [10%] [elite]

This doesn't bode well for encountering future trouble. I would encourage a period of military training like the Israelis to encourage group solidarity for that reason.

Our biggest strength as a species is our creativity, imagination. The ability to change a niche. To enlarge it, to scale back, to change to a completely different niche. It's what makes us truly dangerous and inventive. Right now we're burning a lot of CPU cycles in the three categories I mentioned but we're not actually getting to any destination that is better. This is stagnation. Our economy is on a treadmill going nowhere and we're gradually getting older. If we don't manage to snap out of this funk and open up new niches we'll crash and burn in the end.
Our business's recent experience with forced upgrades

Our accounting team used Quickbooks Pro 2014 which worked on Windows 7. Then all our machines went to Windows 10, and Quickbooks no longer worked. Our accounting team basically did no work for a week while they did a combo of trying to figure out which software to migrate to (went with Quickbooks Online), recover any missing data, and make sure the data migrated successfully to the new accounting package.

The nice part of this forced migration is that Quickbooks online does not require Windows, so three less Windows boxes to support at our shop as we have moved the acct dept to Linux boxes.

The rule of unintended consequences in full effect.
My main issues with impress are that I like a Text based Format which give nice diffs between slides and that I like to copy slides from one presentation to another, probably using a different style. This always Breaks in impress.
Okay, so you're moving from "I think it's a conspiracy of anti-Tor state forces!" to "I think it's a conspiracy of women Jacob worked with, who I will stereotype as feminists and therefore likely to make false rape allegations!".

There are several remarkable things about these thoughts -- such as the idea that you've already decided there's a conspiracy and are just trying to pick which one.

But I'll concentrate on the last point. Both Meredith Patterson ("Jake finally raped enough people that Tor as an organisation couldn't ignore it anymore.") and Andrea Shepard are literally anti-SJWs:

I've never used Android. I'm providing my personal experience of these two tools on the platform I have.
There's no bubble. I agree with you. That's why I am in favor of small countries or at least largely federal structures. And obviously against large undemocratic bureaucratic constructs like the European Union.
Nope. I have a 1990s understanding of perceptrons; this helped show me a bit of what the current rage is about.
Let's be honest here, all the apps are pretty much written for the Western world. The amount of revenue software products make from the non-western world is less than 5% of the total revenue.
If someone could create a machine that actually put the laundry away, we'd get one (or at least covet one) in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, for our family of five, the folding part of the operation really isn't where most of the labor is.

Not true. I know quite a bit about three-layer networks and backprop but had been puzzled about how people were training networks with more layers. This article was helpful.
Perhaps you should move to Iran. The people there wanted sharia law and they got it.
It doesn't really take very long to actually fold shirts and pants, most of the time is spent on sorting. I would think in the amount of time it takes you to properly clip a shirt onto the machine, you should easily have folded it yourself.
Writing a Simple Operating System From Scratch (2010) [pdf]
My understanding is that basic income can only be "unconditional." If there are conditions attached to it, what might be they?
I do. I still sync my music and photos over USB because they're not stored on the cloud and I don't want to pay to store them there nor have to deal with migrating them between various apps/services to retain access or risk them losing data or getting hacked or whatever.
I remember SIP as being very HTTP-like.

Looking at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#section-4 this seems to be accurate.

> SIP is based on an HTTP-like request/response transaction model.

The protocol wire format is basically identical to HTTP with verbs, headers, status codes etc. Different set of verb etc however.
Javascript is notoriously hard to analyze, and it's not clear to me that Firefox should want to isolate extensions from each other - yes, it stops the most obvious form of this attack, but it also makes it impossible to integrate things other than by making one mega-extension.
Worst part is that they didn't even respond to responsible disclosure.

I think someone should write a 'virus' that would remove that vulnerable software from users' computers.
Sounds interesting. Is that data available?

Slightly OT, but what exactly is the difference between machine learning and statistics?
I agree, but that's not really an argument against direct democracy, but rather in favor of a slightly differently constructed constitution - basically there should be a unchangeable core of norms, and no additions that defy the purpose of those norms should be possible. Religious freedom in that case.
Maybe you don't do laundry for other people in your family. One of my chores was laundry. For a family of 5. As a teenager, it was the pits. Anything to shave 10 mins of my chores would have sounded like a great idea.
Yes, you didn't understand. Detailed construction regulations don't have a place in the constitution.
While that's how I read it, perhaps the condition would be citizenship. I.e. they don't want to simultaneously allow more people into their country and also give everyone in their country a lot of money for fairly obvious reasons. However, the article doesn't give translations of the actual measures so it's hard to say.
It Takes Mere Minutes to Make a Fake, Potentially Malicious Facebook Ad
Would agree if the final result we already know where not 80%. At 55% we may have had a surprise, not in that case.

EDIT: Moreover, provisional results for ZH shows 75% no (French) (http://www.20min.ch/ro/news/suisse/story/Revenu-de-base--les...)
This is not very impressive. I want to be able to dump an armload of clothes hot out of the dryer into a hopper and forget about it. Having to sort and hang the clothes on those clips (of which there don't appear to be very many) is more than half the work!
>The construction of minarets is prohibited.

Hardly surprising. Nobody wants to be awoken at ungodly hours by that howling.
You can say this about any level of democracy though (that its downside is populistic decisions, or, more precisely, decisions that you or I think are wrong.) It's easy to find a country where most decisions are made by elected leaders and they chose leaders you or I find terrible, who proceeded to make a lot of bad decisions. I don't see an argument either for more or less direct democracy here (though I guess with some data and given a belief of what decisions are "good" one could construct an argument.)

The US population for instance prohibited alcohol and then undid the prohibition, and I think the least that can be said in favor of this process is that since then there's seemingly a consensus in the US wrt prohibition. I'm not sure such consensus is achievable when elected officials enact laws, not to mention when a Supreme Court reinterprets the constitution to de-facto enact a law.

Overall, to me it seems that decisions will be made and reversed no matter what's your process, and it seems that referendums are a great way for the population to "own" the decision - not just affect it but feel responsibility for it.

Also I'd guess that more direct democracy would reduce both stability and corruption (people are more likely to change the status quo, harder to bribe, and not as likely to form 2 or some other small number of groups voting together on every issue as professional politicians.) It seems that we have a lot of both stability (presumably a good thing) and corruption (presumably a bad thing) and it doesn't look like a terrible gamble to attempt to reduce both.
Taler is quite different from, say, bitcoin in that it tries to enable taxation while preserving anonymity. The main webpage has more info: https://www.taler.net/ . Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that a paper has been published yet. But, there are a couple of presentations at https://taler.net/news .
I would actually sign under such prohibition. Few years back my city (in Poland) rolled in regulations prohibiting churches to ring the bell for mass with exception to one 1000 years old cathedral located in "church's town" (de facto small island owned and containing only buildings operated by the church).
There are already a, proportionally, lot of comments of the sort "this doesn't save that much time" or "folding doesn't take that long".

Then, don't buy it. But to suggest that, in America, land of the Snuggie, The Clapper, Feet Socks, and single serve automatic coffee brewers, come on. There is a place in the market for something that makes doing laundry a little less misserable.

I think the reason Snowden calls it a game is because he feels the NSA isn't interested in finding out what actually happened.

I think your right that Snowden was "testing the waters" and my guess is he came to the honest conclusion that public disclosure was necessary for there to be even debate on the issue of mass surveillance and there needed to be one.
This is yet another article from Ars that has the stench of paid content. Maybe conspiracy mongering, but it seems like they've done a lot of anti no script / ad blocker stuff lately. Misinformation and scare tactics aren't going v to make savvy users expose themselves to the tracking, invasive ads, and malicious code of the unfiltered web. Some less savvy Ars readers may be fooled though.
The assumption that the answer to everything lies in achieving your dreams and ambitions through your possession and redirection of money.

Studies have shown that the ratio of overall happiness per dollar in salary decreases after you hit a certain level, and it can be proven that the level required for happiness decreases as the average income decreases as long as the expectation/experience is not there to expect that income.

While I'm a capitalist in a first-world country, I'm not in denial about this. We are overprivileged. We are the economic equivalent of obese people whose gut flora has become unbalanced and they feel that they need to eat carbs all of the time. We are lazy fuckers that expect investors to show up and fund our big idea, and that if they do, we deserve it; because we don't give a shit about the many others who are much more intelligent, creative, and able than we are, but don't have the resources or support structure that we have are not our problem. Well- fuck that. Wake up and realize that you don't deserve a trophy for showing up. We're all lucky as shit to be here reading this. It's not a blessing to be overprivileged- it's a challenge; you are torn between trying to make your family/self happier and your duty, really, to take care of others. If you fail that challenge, which many do, at the least you are significantly lowering the potential of the planet. Do you not realize how many lives you could be positively impacting by helping others who are less fortunate? And at worst, you are further dividing the haves and the have nots- which is a cause of war.
That's because the referendum is open ended. The referendum text: «The confederation provides for an introduction of an unconditional basic income.» It's a very short text.

https://bedingungslos.ch/de/pages/initiativtext (German)

The referendum committee made a non-binding proposal to give Fr. 2500 and if someone already earns Fr. 2500 they would not get additional money. The details would still need to be worked out by the parliament. In Switzerland being founded on consensus this means that after a «yes» a huge discussion would start how to implement the basic income. But it seems that the referendum is going to be rejected.
and we are wondering why a lot of Americans are obese. Simple tasks like these help burn a few calories.
One basic-income like proposal is that it's available to those who are willing to work for others. I.e., society owes you enough income to survive, but in turn you owe society the fruits of your labor.

The values of those obligations may not match up - i.e. unskilled people maybe paid $7.25/hour for labor worth only $3 - but at least it's a reciprocal situation with shared obligations. I.e., we're all in this together.

Coming from Switzerland, this is not at all surprising. No one expected this initiative to pass. It was really more of an attempt to get a conversation started, and it's succeeded in that.

As a (tentative) supporter of basic income, I'm already quite happy that something like a fifth to a quarter of voters went for it.
Bullshit? Erm. Would you elaborate?
The majority of population isn't in place to make honest, rational choices unaffected by feelings, culture, religion (I wanted to state educated, but education doesn't necessarily mean that the choice would be on the rational side) and media influence.

While I agree about the howling, that was already not allowed. The referendum was only about the physical minarets. Unfortunately the church clocks make just as much noise in Switzerland.
It sounds like you're implying, but don't want to state, that the explanation is not clear enough for outsiders (such as yourself?)

If I have read your comment correctly, I'll say it for you: as an outsider, I read this carefully until I gave up because it was too technical, which happened right at the very top, in the third paragraph:

>Those hidden layers normally have some sort of sigmoid activation function (log-sigmoid or the hyperbolic tangent etc.). For example, think of a log-sigmoid unit in our network as a logistic regression unit that returns continuous values outputs in the range 0-1

All this implies I know all about multi-layer perceptrons - and I don't. I can't follow the instructions to "think of a log-sigmoid unit in our network as a logistic regression unit" because I don't know what those terms mean.

Just as I would give up on a recipe if I got to an instruction I didn't know. For example, if I read:

>Glaze the meringue with a blow torch, or briefly in a hot oven.

Yeah, uh, no... I don't even know what glazing means, or what is "briefly in a hot oven". So I just stop reading. When I'm instructed to do something I can't, I go look at something else unless I'm feeling very adventurous.[1]

This blog post isn't written at my level.
