I can't find any evidence that nuclear testing causes any form of global health risks. The amount of material dispersed is negligible on the global scale, and while I've found a few sources that state this material can cause thyroid cancer, it's so small on a worldwide scale it won't really affect anyone.

Gasoline, lead, poor living conditions on the other hand all have well proven links with bad health.
The most effective way that I have used: 45 minute work, then 5 minute bathroom break + stretches, then 45 minute work, then 15 minute break. Repeat.

There's more to that curve than automation.

During that same period, you broadened the scope of the workforce greatly by bringing women into the mainstream workplace and ending systematic discrimination against minorities.

...and then the scope of the workforce was globalized. Talk to any private sector union steward about the biggest roadblock in negotiations -- it's the ability to leverage the liquidity of the labor market to pick up to move to Mexico, China, India, etc.

In the public sector, unions don't have that problem -- you can't outsource the cops (yet).
They had some very unprofessional coverage of android products (last one I remember was the google photos app, but that's more than 1 year ago now). Not all articles are that bad, but in general they are less knowledgeable on the android side, yes.

You should be aware that it's entirely possible to construct justification of tax-supported UBI or other social-welfare programs in a way that is just even by libertarian standards. Admittedly many variations involve recasting the tax as a sort of civil damages award, but it works.
Holy shit. How feasible is this tech?

some will be writing novels, or starting bands, or making community gardens, or teaching, or whatever.

And slaves in 3rd world countries will make all the things (cameras, phones, clothing, furniture, raw materials etc.). Are those gardeners actually going to contribute in any way to the lives of people in China who make the things that help them be a gardener? Trade is a 2 way street. Person in China makes the things, but what does the American gardener do in return for the Chinese maker?

UBI gives people the ability to follow their dreams without risk of homelessness and starvation.

This is what independently wealthy have today. But, the way those people make money is by subjecting everyone else to wage slavery, creating monopolies and extracting rent. Sometimes it's fraud. In the past it was explicit slavery.

So, maybe Americans could live like poets and gardeners, but first the rest of the world would have to be enslaved. Meaning, you don't trade with the Chinese and provide value in return, but enslave them. Is this a possibility? Do you think Chinese makers are going to put up with American poets and gardeners on welfare?
That makes sense. I think I veered off into confusion from the comment about the inductively-powered LEDs.

This information isn't hard to find--you have to first not assume it doesn't exist I guess.

I have read 19 books so far this year on my Kindle, mostly trashy Sci-Fi novels, not that hard really if you turn the TV off :-)

His list does look a bit more complicated than mine tho!
Yes, of course taxes are coercive. I was talking about the other side. The person getting unrestricted money to spend isn't being coerced.

Compare with conditional transfers (you get the money but only if you meet certain requirements). That can be coercive in effect, if you need the money badly enough.
So someone doesn't like surge pricing and decides to wield the heaviest stick they can (the State) against Uber, via antitrust (legislation which shouldn't exist in a free country).

Then he has the gall to complain that the company he's trying to sue investigates him in an aggressive and possibly illegal manner.

I don't see there's a good guy here. AFAICT, both he and Uber are behaving in a fairly contemptible fashion.

For those here who support antitrust legislation (even in cases other than this one), this is worthwhile reading:

https://mises.org/library/antitrust-case-repeal

"Professor Armentano begins with the most rigorous and revealing account of the Microsoft antitrust battle to appear in print. He further discusses other recent cases, including Toys `R' Us, Staples, and Intel, as well as many historical cases. He covers nearly every conceivable rationale for antitrust, including price fixing, tie ins, vertical and horizontal mergers, and many more."

It's a bit old, but still highly relevant.
They are probably using a newer approach, where they pre-train a neural network and use forward propagation only. With this technique, applying the effect can take less than one second. See https://github.com/DmitryUlyanov/texture_nets for more details. You can also try it here: http://turbo.deepart.io/
Unfortunately for the traders, two of the clocks were at altitude and so time passed more slowly for them, resulting in several femptoseconds of misalignment :-)
lol, I do something similar. I've had to add a few apps finally for various reasons, but I basically just use my phone as a phone, I have email just so I have calendar reminders, and will occasionally do light web browsing when stuck waiting in lines (checking HN of course). Pretty much all notifications are turned off so that it's not distracting.

The funny bit for me, is I work for the phone company, on the data/signaling networks running the phones, and I barely use my cell.
Kids are a pain in the ass. Before they happened automatically, as long as you had sex. Now they're optional. Lots of people are opting out of the hassle.

That's my two cents, at least.

>Are you saying front-running is not an HFT strategy? Because that is incorrect.

I think dsl is quite familiar with the sort of HFT strategy you describe. I think s/he is just trying to correct your use of the term front-running, which was redefined by Michael Lewis et al. from its previous definition as the objectively illegal activity by a broker-dealer. Based on comments like yours, it's a losing battle.
It seems I am the only one out here that thinks computer based trading should be illegal.
See below. I'm completely serious. The population prevalence of Tay-Sachs is about 0.4%. (I don't look obviously Ashkenazi - quite the opposite - so there's little reason to assume I'm in a high-risk population). Therefore, there's a pretty strong prior that we didn't need to worry about it in the first case. Even assuming that the 23andme results have a horrible false negative rate -- let's say they miss 25% of carriers -- a negative result on a single screen (where we know it was actually my data, as Jacques noted) is enough to drive our per-child risk down to about 1 in 4000.

The false positive risks are small - follow-up genetic testing using a certified lab is easy.

Note that I was creating a deliberately absurdly high number for that false negative rate. The FN rate found, for example, for 23andme's Bloom Syndrome carrier status test is much lower than what I used above. The actual post-test carrier risk when I calculated it was under 1 in 10,000. Perfectly fine for a low-risk situation like ours.
What exactly are you looking for? The augmented reality in Pokemon Go basically amounts to them using them opening the camera and using the gyroscope to position a character on screen. It's a cool effect, but it's probably something like ten lines of code in Unity. Well it is, I've done it myself. You don't need a library for just that.
Its not as simple as that. You're assuming that all Govt. programs lose money, which is definitely not true.

Furthermore, from historical data, most of the economic miracles/expansions have been a result of large scale fiscal policies by the federal govt. of respective countries. New Deal, Marshall Plan, War Spending for WW2 etc. all provided the boost that was required to kickstart the economic engines of the respective countries and military spending continues to sustain the US economy to this day.

I love this community but really dislike the simplistic acceptance of Randian theories of economic growth and the importance of the private sector. Private sectors are most definitely important and required. But only the Government has the capacity, the resources and the will to execute something like the Manhattan Project, the Moon Mission etc. We shouldn't dismiss any sector so easily.

It would definitely let you sell up and move to the countryside, where houses are cheap and so are mortgages, because you wouldn't have to worry about living expenses while you established your own job out there.

Easy: generic education applies to any potential employer, not just the original sponsor, and there's no legal way to force a person, once educated, to work for you. (I'm not arguing there should be, either.)

Put another way, you'd be training your competitor's employees if you were to do that. No rational actor wants (or can afford) to do that.
I'm genuinely curious to know what phone or plan you use that only runs maps and camera. Google Maps or soemthing like openstreet map? I'm looking to do something similar. Any info would be appreciated.
Fascinating.

The qualitative comparison suggests that the item2vec may produce _more_ homogenous / boring results, which is kinda unfortunate; the interesting question in recommendations is how to find "aspirational" recommendations (things the shopper would not have looked for on their own).

I would really love to see an analysis that did an A/B test using more traditional CF and this, and see what the revenue lift was, because "accuracy" as measured here doesn't necessarily map onto the objective that you care about in the real world.

On the other hand, I played with using collaborative filtering to improve the personalization of language models for speech recognition for shopping, and in that context this approach sounds like it might have been super useful, because it was actually fairly challenging to get broad enough coverage of the full set of items from a small number of purchases for the purposes of language modeling. Having good embeddings would have helped a lot.
Inflation is pretty much the first thing that most people think about when they look into UBI for the first time.

Here's a summary of some of the pro UBI arguments:

Most plans would be paid for by increasing taxes on the wealthy, so it doesn't actually increase the money supply;

Prices should only increase on goods that are supply constrained;

We're already giving away billions of dollars in assistance in the form of SNAP (food stamps), and increases in SNAP assistance don't seem to cause food price inflation (or at least not enough to be detectable);

We also already provide huge subsidies in the form of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which doesn't appear to have inflationary effects (again at least not enough to notice);

The examples we have of partial basic income haven't caused large scale inflation. Alaska hasn't seen an increase in inflation since they began providing a partial basic income to all residents, and Kuwait didn't see an increase in inflation when they gave every citizen $4k in 2011.

To summarize the summary, a UBI would probably cause a price increase in supply constrained goods and services, but not nearly enough to drown out the extra purchasing power provided to people with lower incomes.

How this affects the middle class depends on how high we set the cutoff where you start paying more in additional taxes than you're getting in UBI, and it depends on how income inequality and velocity of money affect the middle class. Many economists think that increasing income equality will help the economy as a whole, but that's open for debate (I personally think that it will).
I think dsl's understanding is pretty good actually; the metaphor breaks down a bit with car buying. It's clearly better than nsedlet's definition.
But keep in mind that the black market around drugs, and the difficulty and expense of obtaining illegal drugs, creates violence.
oh, ok. Do you have to use RNNs? I think I've done them without RNNs.

Would love a good RNN word2vec type example with Tensorflow if anyone knows one.
An exchange could work just as well and provide just as much liquidity if it accepted sealed bids into a queue for one minute, then settled and showed the full queue, while accepting sealed bids for the next minute.
HFT would no longer be a thing, and everyone would trade on more equal footing.

("One minute" is a guess. Could be right interval is 20 seconds or ten minutes or whatever... But needs to be slow enough to allow full dissemination and reasonable time for sealed bids.)
> If I'm giving them my DNA, I want to know exactly how it can be used, how it will be anonymized, to whom they can sell it, whether I can opt out at some point, etc. ... one reason I haven't sent a DNA sample to 23andMe, etc., is because I can't control what happens to my data after that point, and I'm not even sure if I can find out.

What you are describing is an acausal (i.e. physically impossible, since cause effect happens before cause) version of demand anticipation - changing prices in response to market demand.

It's impossible because the HFT will only know your order has reached exchange A after exchange A has told him about it. Obviously A can't tell him about it until after your order has arrived.

Front running is a strategy where your broker sees your order, trades ahead of it, and then routes your order to the market. It's highly illegal.
I understand what they're saying. My point is that it's highly unlikely: coercion just doesn't work that well when it comes to something extremely expensive and requiring a lifetime of work to maybe succeed, when the task is not just not pleasant but outright aversive. It's difficult to see how such coercion could be so extraordinarily successful as to reduce the average fitness penalty to something so tiny that homosexuality could still exist at current frequencies like 5%; it'd be like you'd have to have such pervasive and super-effective coercion that not a single gay man out of 100 fails to reach his quota, and this would have to obtain in all societies forever, effectively, or else eventually the coercion would slacken and the homosexuality genes would almost immediately vanish, permanently. This is pencil-balancing-on-its-point-for-millennia territory.
> These men who died were men of guardian hearts protecting citizens’ constitutional rights as warriors in a battle for their lives. And that dichotomy is a sense of struggle for me as an advocate for stronger police community relations, an inclusive in-group identity for citizen and police where they are not pitted against one another. It is imperative that we continue to deal with and overcome inherent bias and its effects on human beings.
It's easy to read that many books--if you don't spend your time in front of a TV, that is. I myself had my best year fro reading in 2014 when I read 213 books. Fiction, non-fiction all. Once you read every day--before work and after--you would be amazed how quickly you can read--how deeply you can concentrate and how many books you can knock off.
When I think 'fiber,' I think of a fast, tensile, vaguely biological apparatus whose overarching job is to shunt. For an edgy, thundrous, monosyllabic word, 'Shunt' works quite nicely for an ISP I think. It's fun to say, too: 'Shunt.'
Logic would have it that more money would pour into SV and VC in general. Say €500B new money is pumped into the Eurozone banks, where is that money going to go? The boom in VC financing post 2007 is by in large due to the surplus 'free' cash that was floating around the US and global economies due to quantitive easing. More money means more competition for equal amount of startups which points towards valuations being pushed even higher.
And how would that exchange handle tie breakers? Also what about cross exchange arb?

"In reality the other HFT are not buying/selling new orders. Instead what they are doing is cancelling or modifying their existing orders so that they don't get hit by incoming orders."

Right. One of the strategies is:

- Put in standing order to sell a small amount of security slightly below market and leave it active.

- Wait until a buy order triggers it.

- Buy same security faster than rest of buy order can be processed.

- Sell security just bought at higher price.

- Profit.

There are lots of variations on this, but that's the basic idea. It has the profitability of front-running, but is legal.

"To leverage the psychology of your brain, you need to instead choose clear goals that you clearly know how to accomplish, and then approach scheduling with flexibility."

What if the goals are unclear or you don't know how to accomplish them? If the clear plan is to make goals clear, then you might as well put that on the schedule and work on it for the allotted amount of time. Hence "write every day".
