The studies from the meta analysis range from simply overweight (30% of pop) to obese (30% of pop) to morbidly obese (5%) of population. The data did not vary much for each one.
I'm norwegian, and have run companies (and done consulting) in Norway, so yes, I'm familiar with the limitations, which is why most contractors are hired through companies - whether personal AS's or an agency. When I was working that way I don't think the idea of hiring someone on a contract basis personally was something anyone ever brought up, exactly for this reason.
Yep. When I sold my last Iphone, the guy said the wifi had connection issues (It was the version where your finger could reduce the signal). I told him that that was a known problem with the phone, but if he still had problems with it, he could take it to an apple store as the phone still had applecare+. He said the apple people are mean and he didn't trust them. He kept trying to get me to compensate him $50 for a repair until finally he ended up returning. So annoying.

Another lesson about ebay: Don't ever ship something to an address other than the one ebay has. My brother sold his phone and the guy asked him to ship it to "his daughter's house for a present". Turns out the account had been hacked and now he had just sent his phone to a scammer.

The last horror story i have: The same brother sold an iphone on ebay and the guy claimed it came with the screen cracked. Ebay sided with him on the return and my brother received a letter in return with nothing in it. Fortunately for him that time, ebay just let him keep the money and the scammer keep the phone (albeit, after 2 hours of arguing with their customer service).

TLDR: I've had way too terrible experiences on ebay to ever use them again.
I would work on the early grades for all students, especially gifted ones. The epistemological stance you wind up with gets set fairly early -- not in stone but also hard to work with -- and the early grades are where we should be putting our resources and efforts.
The code of a smart contract will never be "the law of the land", because thousands of years worth of precedent in the legal systems of every country in the world give leeway to override the terms of contracts to satisfy other legal considerations.
The issue is not "malevolent AI", the probability of producing an AI with "malevolent goals" by random chance is so much more unlikely than getting any AI at all that it's not even worth it to worry about that.

The problem is "any AI" whose goals are not positively aligned-with/respectul-of human society's values. In terms with Asimov's Lay of Robotics meme, the problem is not robots harming humans, but robots allowing humans to come to harm as a side effect of their actions. This is an important ethical issue that, IMHO, technologist in general are failing to address.

Unethical AIs are only a special case in the sense that they are believed to be able to cause much more chaos and destruction than spammers, patent trolls or high frequency trading firms.
Let people opt in to the court system, and feel free to tell people they should always do so.

But sometimes people really do know what they're doing with the code. Courts are slower than code, let the experts opt out.
Kubernetes I think is a strategy to counter AWS.

If people start running their apps on Kubernetes, even on AWS- Google has a shot at getting them over to GCE/GKE. On the other hand, apps that are tied tightly to AWS services are very difficult to move.
Selfrando: Hardening Tor to Protect Users from FBI Hacking
Mmm yeah. The exploration, instant feedback and minimalist syntax are features that I wish more people would value.

I "secretly" think that Self would have achieved that too (and even better because is not constrained to the artificial abstraction of classes) but it never had a chance due to its unsuccessful IDE.

Our cognitive system converges too much to objectify things to ignore. We compulsively do that. There is something about objects that fits our cognitive system better. It's a waste if we don't take full advantage of it.
I leaned a long time ago that hating the game and trying to fight it doesn't do much to change the game; the choice personally was more "play and figure out how to win" or "lose and be bitter about it". I now have great credit and don't pay any interest on things but receive a cut of the reward from their ridiculous merchant CC processing fees.
When I worked at eBay, we constantly debated whether the policies should be pro seller or pro buyer. You can't be both in a two sided market.

Throughout my time there, we switched back and forth, but ultimately decided happy sellers brought in more revenue that happy buyers (but maybe that changed again).

Apparently Amazon has decided to be pro buyer right now, which fits with their general model of making happy customers.
Joint probability goes both ways: Ng's prediction that X% of workers will become obsolete is just as unlikely as any future, including Bostroms, as any long string of probable outcomes is highly unlikely.
Mostly that it adds complexity for very little benefit. 99% of the time, I can do the same thing just as easily with Makefile's and be able to have it nicely interoperate with non-Ruby tools.
As this is in fact a consequence of the proposition if you also consider market pressure and power imbalance between employee and employer, I don't think it's a strawman. But of course there can be other, more positive consequences too.

And for each of them, you also get a decent web admin panel out of the box.

Trust me, you really don't want to be spending the next week putting the individual components together and getting them to play nice yourself.
That's kinda what I meant. If you don't have a target you're willing to shoot and live up to the repercussions, you don't shoot.

You say the problem with Xerox is that they were only interested in billions (instead of trillions).

Should we currently be interested in quadrillions, upper trillions, or, perhaps, larger? Once we become interested in an appropriately large number, what preparations should we be taking so that we can operate at that level? Do we just start putting product out there and collect the value on the open markets, or, do we need to segment markets to maximize value? Can you tell us about any other mistakes you feel Xerox might have made in realizing the value of PARC?
I will endeavour to consider your advice and move my mind from the margins to the center. Thank you!
Or this nasty one[1] that has been around just over a year now. It didn't take me more work than using docker as a build server to run into this. There are some udev hacks that make it better, but the underlying issue is ultimately docker here.

Doesn't seem that docker inc upstream takes stability seriously from my standpoint.

Terry Tao recently did a post on the trump situation:

https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2016/06/04/it-ought-to-be-com...

It is time to get serious.
I still wonder if any large tech companies (Google, Apple, etc) will endorse against Trump before November. They did on Prop 8, and Trump will similarly have an immediate negative impact on many of their employees.
Gym's have a huge incentive to get people to sign up and then not go. As such, go big or go home fit's their goals.

Most of the people you see their are over the hump, young and in shape. The people that give up feel it as a personal failure and keep paying on the assumption that someday they will go back. They also train people to make canceling seem like failure.

Further, if you keep up a demanding schedule you will see rapid improvements until injury. Which further pushes the health halo effect.

The only things Trump is right about are the exact same things that every politician says:

> He's right that many Americans are getting screwed by the system. He’s right that the economy is not growing nearly fast enough. He's right that we're drowning in political correctness, and that broken campaign finance laws have bred a class of ineffective career politicians.

It's demagoguery 101.

Even if memory is cheap, it still uses power, and as a result, has lots of heat to dissipate. In many high-end server designs, the power / heat aspects are the limiting factor -- not the cost.
It's also redundant. Demagogs === hate-mongers.
> And without it, we’ll lose our position as the most powerful country in the world.

Why is this a bad thing? Isn't the goal of globalization to start thinking of our planet as a whole?
If anything, I'd call that a charitable description, and definitely not as strongly worded as most would write.
It ought to be common knowledge that Donald Trump is not fit for the presidency
Thank you for writing this. So many want to tiptoe around and ignore this election, like they've always done before, and that may be the worst mistake of all in this situation.
> And to me, it seems like you're feeling rather inadequate about the possibility of missing out on experiences many tend to sensationalize.

Wow. You're really reaching there.
With Trump already an also-ran in November, who may even have to run as an independent, it doesn't take much courage to write this now. It just became politically correct to slam Trump in public. If you wait too long, he'll have dropped out already! "Daddy, what did you do in the Great War?"
Apple has already abandoned the RNC [1]. I'm disappointed that no other large companies have so far.

It may be noted that safety isn't considered a "technical goal", but some other class of goal. And as others have mentioned, in the very short term, safety is inherent by the lack of actual thinking on the part of our "AIs" today.

But I think the biggest concern for OpenAI right now is not being behind the curve. If OpenAI is going to build safe AI, they have to beat everyone else to the level of AI that needs to be made safe!

To use an analogy from a favorite show of mine, Person of Interest[1] OpenAI has to build The Machine before someone else manages to build Samaritan.

It would be particularly scary if someone like Google or Facebook had a monolithic AI capable of accessing large percentages of our information, and influencing our lives using it, before anyone building more ethical AI was capable of doing so.

[1]Person of Interest is an amazing show, it's series finale airs tomorrow on CBS. If you're interested in the topic of morality in artificial intelligence, and enjoy a good scifi show, watch this one.
demagogue: a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument

hatemonger: a person who kindles hatred, enmity, or prejudice in others

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

"In the Middle East, we have people chopping the heads off Christians, we have people chopping the heads off many other people. We have things that we have never seen before -- as a group, we have never seen before, what's happening right now. The medieval times -- I mean, we studied medieval times -- not since medieval times have people seen what's going on. I would bring back waterboarding and I'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding."

"I think Islam hates us. There's a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There is an unbelievable hatred of us."

I would say demagogic hatemonger is a perfectly accurate description of Donald Trump.
Any area in which enough such spelunkers are found is unlikely to be significantly improved by adding your own effort.
The act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating, but no longer wishes to date. This is done in hopes that the ghostee will just "get the hint" and leave the subject alone, as opposed to the subject simply telling them he/she is no longer interested.

Docker containers are not meant to be persistent. Things like storage and state should be kept elsewhere and linked into your containers. You should be able to dynamically tear your containers down or spin up 20 of them and load balance requests between different ones.

If you are trying to store a MySQL database inside of a Docker container, you are missing the whole point.
I really hope you're taking issue with some subtle issue with the phrasing, rather then the intent.

With regard to the intent, I think it's too weak, if anything. "Sociopathic demagogic hate-monger", maybe.
> My opinion is that you should be allowed to opt out of the uncertainty of human law and accept that the code will decide exclusively.

This will literally never happen, as it's the prerogative of the state to decide that circumstances that flatly override contracts - for example, bankruptcy (and specific things that are and aren't enforceable in regards to it), or nullifying of contracts by minors.
If there are lots of resources more or less available, then a lot of "hunting and gathering" types can do things with them, and some other types can see about what it takes to make resources rather than just consume them. The former tends to be competitive, and the latter thrives on cooperation.

The biggest problems are that the "enterprisers" very often have no sense that they are living in a system that has many ecological properties and needs to be "tended and gardened".

Not an easy problem because we are genetically hunters and gatherers, we had to invent most of the actual sources of wealth, and these inventions were not done by the most typical human types.

Yet another thing where education with a big "E" should really make a difference (today American education itself has pretty much forgotten the "citizenship" part, which is all about systems and tending them.

It's been very interesting to follow this election cycle along with Sam Harris' podcasts. Would strongly recommend it, he's spoken in depth and very eloquently about the Trump situation: https://www.samharris.org/podcast .

Also the Rubin Report has been right in the thick of it, also another great source of non-mainstream coverage: https://www.youtube.com/user/RubinReport
What's a good non-UNIX open-source operating system that's useful for day-to-day work, or at least academically significant enough that it's worth diving in to?
I'm not in the EU, rather in the US. But I think I know what rrggrr is talking about.

We've got all these things the government does. Each one, taken by itself, sounds like a good thing. But when you step back and look at the whole size of the government, it's insane how big it is. (We'd be more aware of this if we actually had to pay for all of it, instead of running a deficit.)

I'd expect those in the EU to feel this even more, because there the governments are even larger in terms of percentage of GNP.

You are talking about 16 GB of RAM, rights? My emacs is very happy with 32 MB of RAM and my vim with even less.

I understand that Atom is doing a lot, but if you need 16 GB of RAM to run your text editor, this simply means that the developers have not been using the right data structures to manage the state of the application or maybe the new code editors have an implementation of an AI coding for you so you can outsource yourself.
I think the problem is not complexity but size. Most of the source for the Linux kernel is in the drivers, for instance. As for languages, most of the weight is in the libraries.
Reweaving the web
Trump's casual racism, misogyny, and conspiracy theories are without precedent among major presidential nominees.

It seems that sama needs to listen to the Nixon tapes.
And personally I usually throw in "fascist" for good measure.
I've probably read unfunnier articles in my time. But I'm having a hard time remembering when
My spouse and I used it recently. It's actually MUCH, MUCH faster and far less overwhelming than filling out all of the paper documents. You answer the questions, it puts all of your data into the right places on the forms. A lawyer looks it over to be sure there are no errors and that you're not missing any information (the forms are in no way self-explanatory) - for example, for us they caught a question that we had interpreted in a different way and allowed us to correct it to the right interpretation and relevant documentation. After that, they print, assemble and mail you the (hundreds of pages) packet, so all you have to do is check it over, sign it, attach the filing fees, and mail it off.

No power of attorney, no standing in for you, just a guide for a very complicated process. From what we've seen, it's generally intended for people who would otherwise DIY the process, but want a little more peace of mind that they're doing it right. It's not really meant for those with complex situations that need a lawyer.
Strategically I think it would make a ton of sense for CF to rehost on Kubernetes.

There is a bunch of infrastructure that becomes someone else's problem - letting CF focus on higher level PaaS primitives.

Just my 2 cents ;-)
Seems like a good a strategy as any. :) Thanks for the pointer!
I thought "pure politics" posts weren't allowed/were discouraged on HN?

>It isn't that it's pro-Trump, it's that it's pure politics. Such posts always get heavily flagged, and it's hard to disagree with that, since they're typically not posted to gratify intellectual curiosity.

>Basic Income stories are political, but they aren't purely political. There's an intellectual interest in thinking about and debating such a major social change. Political horse race stories are the opposite.
This is great. I can't wait for an ARM build, though.
I wish docker released lite version of docker. Only containerisation, no networking configurations, weird cache mechanisms - just something small and easy to use locally.

I completely agree, just wanted to add that there are options for iOS / macOS CI in the cloud, like ours ( https://www.bitrise.io - we have a free plan for freelancers ) or Travis / Circle.

Disappointed to see Sam repeat things that are plainly false. Everyone says that Trump says such horrible things, but why is it that so often those same people have to misquote him to make it seem horrible?

> He has said that a judge of Mexican descent couldn’t treat him fairly because of his heritage and that we should ban Muslims from entering the country.

He said that a judge of Mexican descent isn't treating him fairly, and that it is probably because of his heritage. That's very different from saying that the judge can't treat him fairly because of his heritage. How could someone with Sam's command of language and attention to detail not see the difference? And where was the condemnation of the Obama admin when they tried to prohibit an Iranian-American judge from presiding over Iranian immigration cases?

> He has accused Obama of somehow being responsible for the recent shooting in Orlando.

The WP originally ran this headline and changed it because it was such a wild inference from what he actually said.
I'm waiting for Zen, but I'll hold my breath on the APU. Even if they integrate HBM that's going to be a rather large die with low yields to try to cram a GPU comparable to a modern mid-high to high-end GPU (that already has a die size bigger than most modern CPU's). Still, even a moderately powerful APU would work nicely in tandem with a future RX 490 or whatever AMD puts out for their Vega cards.

This is amazing to me, not because it's a great purchase but rather because of the absolute tone deafness that Twitter is demonstrating.

People are not using Twitter because of many reasons and bad image compression is probably not one of them. Unless Twitter is planning some massive pivot what they should have spent their M&A budget on companies that will help them improve their growth situation directly (in my opinion).
Hello Alan,

Something that I find striking about you and your work is your cross discipline approach to hardware, software, and "humanware".

Can you speak about people and subjects which have inspired you from fields other than computer science and how they have changed you as a person and technologist.

Actually not. AFAIK, most Chinese H1B holders working in FLAG (Facebook, Linkedin, Amazon and Google) are either actively support Trump or strongly against Clinton. From their perspective, Trump is against illegal immigration while protect legal immigration visa holders.

But from the company perspective, it's another story.
