That's not possible. The data is encrypted. None of the participants can see which stocks (or anything) about the data they train with. Numerai turns stock prediction into a pure ML problem.

It is one thing to ask, quite another to demand and claim that the law is able to compel the other party to comply. Especially materially misrepresenting the law during a demand by a powerful party that should have known better. Do you think we can't distinguish this from a regular request?
Administering an expensive, high power piece of hardware in the clear, with a "perfect" authentication and authorisation scheme, would require balls of steel. Someone should try it, maybe write a book about it. For science.
What could possibly go wrong.

I wonder how many of these banks currently have low character limits on their text passwords.
That would be pretty interesting, but is it legal? Is it just illegal to manipulate stocks for gain (or personal gain), or is any manipulation (if provable) illegal? It seems a fuzzy rule based the SEC description[1], which is probably why it's so hard to go after people for it.

There is explicit policy inside AWS to not access any user data.
And I'm sure we'll never need more than 640kb of storage, either.
I assume you mean at https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v2_3_0/vm_method.c#L1915-L.... Agreed it's weird that rb_respond_to will now return true for objects where respond_to is undefined. Though I guess I can see upsides to doing so, and it would require something pretty weird to result in "wrong" behavior.
It's also possible that the DNC prioritized its research based on who was most likely to win the primary. Hillary has been the overwhelming favorite for a long time now, so I don't think it's all that surprising that most of their work has been undertaken with the assumption that she would be the nominee.

I bet they have similar files on Lincoln Chafee and Martin O'Malley, but it would have been foolish to invest as many resources in developing those as they did in the HRC file.
Why would they not just take a cab, is that so hard to do? I can't imagine a cab not taking you for a short trip if you pay adequately?

I like Uber, Lyft and the like but I seriously only like them because of their vision that once self driving cars are available they become cheaper than owning a car.

The current advantages of Uber versus a cab are marginal, at least from my point of view (western europe, plenty of cabs). I would still always take an Uber if available, but if not I couldn't care less.
Great Product - Congrats on thinking thru and designing for a "Wire-Free" experience, with Solar batteries and the clever hack of the OBD port connector to offload some functions (wake-up on reversing etc).

That said - it seems it is 2-3 years too late to be launching this.

1)By 1 May 2018, all new US Cars will have back-up cameras by law [1]

2) Most Cars sold since 2011/12 seem to have integrated back-up cameras

3) $500 for a Car accessory (!) that by definition will be fitted on a lower end car older model (since high end cars had this for a while) aka Low sales.

4)OBD port contention

Man, totally reminds me of Pinocchio lying in Shrek 2 (or was it 3).

I only glossed over the article, but it sounds like the DEA will, maybe someday possibly reschedule marijuana as a Schedule 2 drug, that may or may not include any given form, leaving some forms as Schedule 1 or not. And that they absolutely, probably may or may not in all probability go after people who take medical marijuana across state lines.
You can't get true 100% coverage* on digital hardware. (on quantum maybe!) so what to test or not is always a judgement call. Most of the time I'd assume the software stack is trustworthy but if you are doing something extreme you may want to test the compiler or even formally prove the compiler works as expected.

* true as in all possible inputs and outputs rather than merely all code paths
Totally agreed, on both points. I think selling "fake meat" to meat-eaters is missing the point (as they could just as easily eat the real thing), and selling "fake meat" to vegetarians is a weak offer (as it reduces them to imitating meat-based recipes).

As an example of your second point, one of the more succesful alternatives in NL is Valess [1], which mostly comes in the "burger" form factor but does not try to sell itself as imitation meat.

How many times is Netflix going to finalize its transition to AWS?
$20 billion comes up under $100 per person per year in the US. Even giving it a generous x4 multiplier to account for the people subsidizing the industry without being consumers, at $400 per year, given the $3 and $7 prices by parent, you would need to eat under 100 pounds of meat for meat replacements to be viable. The average American allegedly consumes close to 200 pounds of meat[0] per year, so it ends up still being quote economical.

Doesn't the encrypted chart still need to display price history or volume? If so it seems like it'd be a trivial task to match it up with its real-world counterpart.
That's somewhat correct, on many cameras today that light is in line with the power to the sensor (IIRC this is the case on the new Macbooks) so as soon as it gets out of standby mode it is on so you can't hack that.
The microphone is another story.
I got really excited because I read the heading as Netflix migration costs paid for by AWS. I thought they worked out deal to get a free tier during migration. Wow...oh...nevermind... :-)
>Now SpaceX only needs to start producing electric rockets, then they can all be unified.

Only small amount of payload - fragile items like humans - has to be delivered in space by rockets, the rest can be shot by the mass driver. And here we come, Martians...

I feel like I see these posts regularly on HN and reddit from various companies with "meat killing" veggie meats, but they are never for sale. I sign up for the newsletters and no one ever has products for sale, just more hype. When can I try these?
You are probably right but (1) SolarCity would be foolish as a business not to take advantage of tax incentives (2) the primary purpose of these incentives in the first place should be exactly this - to encourage businesses like solarcity (3) over the long term of course the business model assumes panel prices reduce and become more efficient so the tax thing isnt required in the long term to prop them up
I think the major problem is the total lack of synergy between Tesla and SCTY.

Tesla has a sales program which is basically 0 marketing, 0 sales, 100% inbound and SCTY is tele-sales + door to door (which is payroll intensive and harder to manager). Tesla has an operations cycle which is completely centralized except for the car delivery. All of SCTY is contractors installing stuff on customer roofs.

I do not see any operational synergies between the two companies except for the superchargers (and buying SCTY for superchargers feels wrong).
Agreed. Don't beam, bury a superconductor in your Space Elevator tether cable. #wiresarenice
I have no idea where dragon myths or giant myths originate; giants are easy to guess, but dragons are a strangely common belief for creatures with so little basis in reality. (Plasma cosmology has a very interesting explanation for dragons, and for a lot of other strange things in human history, but the physics of that theory are pretty bad.) I'm just mentioning what it is that dinosaur bones were identified with in the Middle Ages -- centuries before anyone knew that there had ever been such things as dinosaurs.

(To an extent, dragons fall into the same category as unicorns, griffins, and phoenixes: not mythology so much as really bad zoology. All four of these species were believed to exist in the real world as contemporaries of medieval humanity, sometimes surprisingly nearby -- like griffins in the Caucasus.)
I wonder if companies could just invoice the FBI for document processing or administrative fees. Just follow the FOIA fee structure. Or, charge a whole lot.

You can't make the NSL public, but it's not like you're complying with a warrant or something that would be immune from fees.

Of course the government will refuse to pay, so you sue. Presumably you could subpoena the emails around the NSL without disclosing the NSL. "We need to get this information from $tech_company", $tech_company provided the information. pay me.

The fact Microsoft gets money from their customers, makes them extremely interested in making software that's a very good fit for business and end users.

Linux other hand is very good for developers, sysadmins and technical people. This is mainly because its created by them for them.

Microsoft has added value for business because of this focus.
That's his office, it's quite known that he sits in the open space with all of the employees, I don't think there are any private offices in Facebook other than finance/payroll and some HR which are private due to regulations.

A acquaintance of mine lived there 10 years ago because he and his roommates could rent a whole floor of an old factory for $1000 a month. Thousands and thousands of square feet. He was robbed at gunpoint on his front porch 4 times in a year. (Best parties I've ever been to though.)
That is interesting indeed.

It could also mean shareholders believe Tesla's management has gone off the deep end.

If by 'original comment' you mean one of the grandparents in which I mention "social justice", I wasn't exactly trying to say "they don't deserve kudos" in that comment, and I wasn't exactly trying to say "they are doing more harm than good".

I would extract: "there is an additional axis to consider when considering the degree of social benefit and social harm caused by apple's camps - and that axis is suggested by the question: Does this increase or decrease social inequality?"

I think that the camps necessarily will increase social inequality, but not on a scale that I find concerning at this point. By itself, modestly increasing social inequality wouldn't mean that apple is doing more harm than good, as there is a good to be found in educating children, even if those children are not always the most disadvantaged children. It all depends on how one personally assigns weight to each factor under consideration.

As an aside (and this surely colors my tone, but not the argument intended) it happens that I do personally consider the camps to be 'more harm than good' (but only marginally so) when everything is weighed together, but I wasn't trying to make that suggestion in the grandparent.
Tabs. Loading on mobile still takes a second or two. Tabs help with this. All those native apps usually staring at blank screen half the time. And I have 4g and top of the line phone.
Does anyone else ever wonder if this is part of a long term strategy to reduce costs by inflating the pool of developers? Corporations can think long term.
This also immediately popped out to me as the wrong assumption to make (and start off with, for that matter)... But I could see it being true if:

- You are essentially maxing out incoming and outgoing network IO

- You have no database to speak to (or your DB is in-memory)

In that case, I guess it is just a race to do some computation and fetch the right data from RAM, then the limiting factors would be RAM access and the number of the computations you could do to try and keep up with inbound requests?
These days I think I would be more concerned about where you downloaded it from. TPTB want the social graph of people who pay attention to this sort of thing, so the metadata of access is the real juice of this and similar (wiki leaks, crypto me, etc)

These leaks show Donald Trump paid $115,000 for a Clinton speech, and as he says in his own words, he used that influence to buy the Clinton presence at his wedding.

No one cares about the speech, he paid $115k to get them to show to a wedding
You're asking a different question, in a very loaded way.

Bringing your question back to SCTY, one of the critiques of SCTY in NV was that SCTY was expecting/betting to be able to sell back electricity to the grid at retail (not wholesale) rates via net-metering. Inarguably, this was a threat to the utility and its ability to re-coup its large capital investments (sunk costs) in the grid.

There are other solar companies whose business model doesn't rely as directly on "billions of dollars of (taxdollars in) support."
This is just galling. I will be correcting anyone who calls this the land of the free, in the future.
You may want to learn about how Lavabit was shutdown.
As Elon himself has said, all-electric rockets would require several Nobel prizes.

I'm intersted in this question as well. I'd like to contribute to your e.g: Ant Encounters by Deborah M. Gordon.
Fart apps. You're welcome.
Even if you take it to court, the statute that authorizes judicial review of NSLs restricts the authority of the judicial branch to engage in judicial review. Instead of being able to strike down NSLs for any reason that a court may determine is unlawful, under the statute courts may only overturn gag orders if the court finds “that there is no reason to believe that disclosure may endanger national security of the United States, interfere with a criminal counterterrorism, or counterintelligence investigation, interfere with diplomatic relations, or endanger the life or physical safety of any person.

So no you cannot always just take it to court. In many cases it may be illegal to do so.
Hmm, so the DSL needs to enforce some kind of contract and limit scheme, like that Ada dialect that the aerospace guys occasionally bring up. I bet they have decades of research that the next DAO project devs should familiarise themselves with.

Thanks for the thoughts. Social Sciences are so indeterminable. I appreciate the civility. I need to disengage from this now however. Plenty to think about.
If we're building space elevators, we could just cover the uninhabited desert parts of libya and algeria with hundreds of square km of photovoltaics...
See the same wikipedia page, under safety.

> At the Earth's surface, a suggested microwave beam would have a maximum intensity at its center, of 23 mW/cm2 (less than 1/4 the solar irradiation constant), and an intensity of less than 1 mW/cm2 outside the rectenna fenceline (the receiver's perimeter).[82] These compare with current United States Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) workplace exposure limits for microwaves, which are 10 mW/cm2,[83] - the limit itself being expressed in voluntary terms and ruled unenforceable for Federal OSHA enforcement purposes.[citation needed] A beam of this intensity is therefore at its center, of a similar magnitude to current safe workplace levels, even for long term or indefinite exposure.

As far as IP address goes, you could store a cryptographic hash of the IP, rather than the IP itself. That would prevent you from, say, identifying entire subnets used by spammers, but would be better than nothing.

You'd just need to do the hashing with some kind of tamperproof keystore that exploded when the FBI fiddled with it.
Ace and Gherkin are related in the sense that both are ment to express program behaviour in a language that domain experts can understand.
Ace is more geared towards expressing contracts.
The language is designed in cooperation with lawyers to resemble traditional contracts as much as possible.
Ace must have the property that one very important aspect of contracts, the handling of disagreements (or exceptions as programmers call them) can be clearly expressed.

There are other differences in approach.
In Gherkin, a programmer needs to implement the test for each step manually.
This has a risk of introducing bugs.
To reduce that risk, Ace translates to an ethereum contract as well as a test suite.

It is not always possible to generate a complete contract.
In that case a programmer has to fill in the operational details.

However, it is always possible to generate an executable test suite.
This guarantees that an implementation can always be checked to conform to the contract as specified in ACE.

So any "error" (i.e. disagreement between the contract parties) when executing the contract can be traced back to:
- an "error" in the ace contract (the parties agreeing to the contract should decide what to do)
- an error in the ace implementation (ace has to be open source to minimise the risks here, just like the bitcoin an ethereum software)
> if solar is so great, why isn't my utility doing it

For the same reason many market incumbents find themselves unable to innovate. It eats away their existing revenue streams or erodes the value of their current strategy.

If you've invested heavily in non-solar energy infrastructure and that's the majority of the market, you can either invest in solar and add it to the mix, in which case new demand may fall on it, but it's likely to also start eating your existing demand (there are renewable energy source mandates), or you can fight it and try to maximize your profits on what you have. One is a long term strategy, and one is a short term strategy, but not all companies (boards, shareholders) are focused on long term. e.g.

If Linux/UNIX is so great, why didn't Microsoft create a distro (a decade or two ago)? Or, if free software is so great, why don't Microsoft start giving away their software? Because, it makes them less money. It has nothing to do with what's better for the customers (presupposing either of those are better, for the sake of argument).
> not try to promote one candidate over another, set-up more people to applause for a particulate candidate in the debates

The $40k figure is from here (obviously there's no sharp cut off, but we chose a figure that's roughly right for convenience):
https://80000hours.org/career-guide/job-satisfaction/#money-...

And then even more detail here:
https://80000hours.org/articles/money-and-happiness/

It's $40k of consumption. So if you'd want to save $6k as well, then you'd need to earn $46k.

Our advice is addressed at college graduates. The average grad makes $68k p.a. over their lifetime. (Source in the first article I linked to).

If you're reading HN, then it's likely you can earn more. The median software engineer makes $100k, and similar with other tech jobs (that's from the BLS).

I agree it's much harder to give money if you earn below the median income in the US, though it's hardly impossible. The average low income American already gives 3% on average (source in the OP), so my 1% is actually less than the average.

Moreover, almost everyone in America is far wealthier than the world median. Even if you only earn $10k, you're 7x wealthier than the world median.
Source: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/get-involved/how-rich-am-i/
(That's PPP adjusted)

So while I agree if you're poor in US it probably wouldn't make sense to give to other poor in the US, it could still be worth giving to the global poor.
Um, no, that's just factually incorrect. You can do very, very many useful things without Turing completeness. You cannot be fully general, but there's active research on how far you can get. Restricted subsets of query languages like SQL and Datalog are perhaps the most common (though more or all SQL implementations are Turing complete) and indeed quite useful.

I can easily imagine a system built on a non-Turing complete logical query language that defines data and rules for presentation. You could get pretty far with that. You can't create _any_ application, but calling Turing completeness “essential … for decentralized applications” is incorrect. It's essential for a _subset_ of applications that require Turing completeness.

I've been saying ETH is broken for a while. Its computational ability means contracts _cannot_ be formally verified. This is why I didn't buy into the DAO, and sure enough there's a bug in the DAO (ironically recursion related).
It would be easy to match an obfuscated stock market dataset with some third party dataset, and this has happened on many Kaggle competitions (data leaks). That's why the encryption here is important.
I don't think that an official offer from the board of directors of a company that is legally binding if accepted is "market manipulation".
