One problem with products like Soylent is that the nutrition label is used for marketing, and as a result they consciously engineer the product to optimize for that.

Nutrition facts labels and recommended daily intakes vary by country, and they're backed up by a lot of bad science and guessing games.

Consider that the USDA recently lifted their recommended maximum intake of cholesterol from 300mg/day (1.5 eggs/day) to no upper limit at all (after 50 years), or that study after study has failed to find any significant benefit from taking daily multivitamins (and to the contrary has found that taking too many, or the wrong kind, can cause liver damage), or that every sugary breakfast cereal and energy drink would seem quite healthy if all you looked at was the nutrition facts label.

I don't think nutrition facts labels are particularly meaningful, so a product sold almost entirely on the basis of how strictly it conforms to those government recommendations isn't of much interest to me.

If you're Soylent, you also have to lean heavily on government recommendations as a form of insurance against lawsuits. There's a lot of risk in encouraging people to eat only your food for every meal of the day, and being able to tell a judge that your product closely adhered to government recommendations is undoubtedly helpful in various litigation scenarios, but I don't think that necessarily forms a good foundation for what people should be eating.

Thanks for this insight. I have always wondered how people make money while purely working on OSS projects which generate so little revenue if any.

I guess OSS is only for people who really love OSS not just think its cool.
To slightly correct your analogy, you have a full history of everything I think and do and buy and own and talk about and everything my friends and family think and say and do, and you know darn well I think rhinos are cute in an ugly bulldog way and I like pet tropical fish too. And businesses sell tons of rhino trinkets and tropical fish aquarium stuff, its a big business, and skimming off a few percent in ad sales results in a lot of money for someone smart enough to target me. And you know I'm a generous idiot who's given money to 'save the rhinos inc' and have the teeshirt and everything and I'll probably do it again. Because rhinos are cool.

And given all the above data, you're so incompetent at selling that you come into my house and deposit a giraffe on my coffee table. I kid you not, the above paragraph results in a giraffe. Get out of my house, git out now ... The situation with modern 2016 advertisement is so awful, so incompetent, so inappropriate, its too insulting to even look at. Like going to a bar and asking for a beer and get handed a hard boiled egg instead, total WTF reaction, they're so bad at their job that a few decades ago this would be a candid camera reaction, like where's the dude with the hidden camera making fun of me?

As an eye rolling experiment, no exaggeration or hyperbole, I disabled all my blockers and went to facebook to see what they'll sell me... A Home Depot brand marine/boating deep cycle battery. Thanks guys, nice targeting. Ready, Fire, Aim. No, I don't currently own a boat, or a trolling motor, never bought a deep cycle marine battery. Unbelievable. Well, guess I'm not missing much by ad blocking, and the world economy isn't losing much sales by my using ad blocking.

Internet advertising in 2016 is a complete waste of money and when the people paying the bills figure it out, the crash is going to be epic. Someone at home depot paid good money to try and sell me a deep cycle boat battery. Nobody should be giving FB ad money, that's for sure, a fool and their money are soon parted. I believe the blame toward ad blocker users is a compensation reaction, can't blame the people who can't sell competently, so we'll attack someone less defensible, like ... those freeloading end users. In the long run, however, willfully not understanding the real problem is just going to make the crash sooner and deeper.
You're exactly right. If you look closely, present day A.I is modeled after the cortex. It's akin to cutting out the neo-cortex, wiring in i/o hooks, and reprogramming it to one's needs (weak A.I).

The cortical regions are good at creating hierarchical feature maps and we had a bunch of search algorithms laying around in the parts bin. Presto : Present day A.I.

This approach meshes well with 'big-data' companies in possession of large compute stacks and data-sets. So, its the direction things went.

Are you against businesses being able to set their prices? They're asking you to pay the market price. If you're not fine with it, doing some unilateral haggling isn't exactly how exchanges work, just don't use their product. Using Facebook is not a right.

The fact of the matter is, most people waxing poetic here about ads infringing on their rights, will still use Facebook when their adblockers don't work. They are willing to pay, they just want to pay less.

This is a very hard position to justify ethically.

That works, if your virtual world is good.

Representation of relationships without representation of qualia gives you brittle nonsense - a content-free wireframe of word distributions.

For human-level NLP, you need to model the mechanism by which the relationship network is generated, and ground it in a set of experiences - or some digital analogue of experiences.

Naive statistical methods are not a good way to approach that problem.

So no, Wikipedia will not provide enough context, for all kinds of reasons - not least of which is the fact that human communications include multiple layers of meaning, some of which are contradictory, while others are metaphorical, and all of the above can rely on unstated implication.

Vector arithmetic is not a useful model for that level of verbal reasoning.

It's probably a mistake to assume that just because it's the way we do it that it has to be the way machines do it. Although that's usually the initial assumption. In the early days of flight most attempts were based on birds, similarly submersible vehicles were based on fish. We know now it's better to use propellers. It could be we just haven't found what is analogous to a propeller for the AI world.

Arms are now, and have been since the days before the ass' jawbone, just a kind of technology. I think increasingly the value lies in technology which doesn't have killing someone as its primary function. That's true for you and me, and it's true for a government that seems perpetually fascinated with "Less Lethal" options.

Electroshock devices have shown the world just how much people will take from their government, if it has almost no chance of killing or visibly scarring them.

That's valid. I think they way it is presented it is easy to mis-read it. I kind of hinted at finding a better way to respond to the problem in the PR domain.

However,a technological solution can still help. For example, focusing on plausible deniability, traffic hiding, dead man switches and so on. Technology is just another approach and for some it might be easier to work with for some and easier to disseminate.
It's absolutely the default.

Imagine you own a webmail company. You secure your SMTP relays with SMTP-TLS (let's pretend it works well) and your client connections with TLS again.

Now your users are safe from random creepy flatmates, criminals with wifi sniffers, your telco and even mass government surveillance. But, governments can still serve a warrant on you to get email in a targeted manner, assuming they have a working MLAT process.

All you did was apply ordinary encryption to an ordinary website and you have that middle ground between "unbreakable to everyone" and "totally useless".

Speed testing is a good starting point, but on my LTE connection (rural area) I find the latency to be very contributor to overall experience. Especially that once the link is saturated the latency shoots through the roof (up to x10). I wish there were some tools for testing more complex use cases.
Where does it say that the government has the right to expect the evidence obtained from a warrant to be useful?

If the government can't do their job effectively with the presence of strong, pervasive encryption, that's their problem. The right of the people to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects" is non-negotiable (at least in the US, barring a Constitutional amendment.)

They have the right to serve a warrant for my phone, and I have the right to hand them an encrypted phone. There may be circumstances where, legally, the government can demand a password, or pay for an exploit, and that's fair enough. But I don't believe any government does or should have the right to demand that encryption not exist, or that it should be fundamentally broken.
> that every sugary breakfast cereal and energy drink would seem quite healthy if all you looked at was the nutrition facts label.

That is factually false, since their labels do quite accurately reflect that they consist of nothing more than carbs (and a bit of protein, for some cereals). I'm not sure how one would come to a conclusion that energy drinks are good for you from their nutrition label, unless you're assuming sugars, artificial colorings, taurine and caffeine are all healthy compounds.

It's fully unclear, why I should explain all the features in detail to someone. I'd never do that and I know nobody who would be interested in it.

You don't need to know all of it in detail. It's good to have an overview and look up details as needed.

In a numerics library, I don't need to know every function in detail. I just look it up on demand.

Hyperbolic tangent for complex numbers? I don't know the details. Learning all is fruitless. When I need it, I look it up.

Wait until you get 'Scheme R7RS large'. Ever looked at recent languages specs for languages like Scala, Haskell, Java 8, Fortress, Ada, the coming Java 9, Racket, C++, ...

One thing you need to learn about Lisp languages: the language is not fixed. It can be an arbitrary amount of features, even user supplied.

What you need to learn is not all the features of one construct. What you need to learn is how to learn the details incrementally on demand, while having an overview of the concepts.

If you think LOOP is large and complicated, have a look at Common Lisp's ITERATE: even more features and more powerful. Even designed to be user extensible.

> Until very recently 99.99% of conversations where completely private and society functioned just fine.

Until very recently, most conversations were plausibly deniable, and off the record. The internet and cryptography changes that.

Edit: [Both plausibly deniable in the formal/cryptographic sense, and in the informal "You're misremembering, there's no record in writing of me saying that" sense]
Wow. That name is literally from Frederik Pohl's 'The Space Merchants'. Now that's cojones (Pohl died in 2013). I see I'm not the first to notice this, but it's worth noticing.

I'd try the stuff, if they didn't put 1,6-Dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-β-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside in it. (the brand name is 'sucralose'). That stuff gets everywhere, but I have a nasty reaction to it and really don't appreciate the company lobbying to have it treated like some kind of safe 'sucra' or 'ose'.
Not all encryption. There is such a thing as self-destructing data/keys. Once it's gone, it cannot be recovered, even if your life is threatened and you really don't want to die.

Whether you're willing to go that far for your data or not is up to you, though.
Thanks. We updated the title, which originally omitted “San Jose”.
>There is nothing to interpret. Those who invested in that smart contract invested in it as written, and failed to have it properly vetted.

What about the plain language of the marketing materials soliciting investment that was completely inconsistent with the code of the DAO.

It happens all the time in the world outside of smart contracts, where people rely on marketing materials (say marketing a car loan for 4%, but the contract provides for a substantially higher interest rate). You can make the same argument in those cases, that the individual should have read an understood the actual contract and not relied on the marketing material, in fact, the marketing material might even include a disclaimer, but that doesn't change the fact that the individual is likely to prevail in a court of law based on causes of action including, but not limited to: fraud, fraud in the inducement, unfair trade practices, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, etc...

What makes smart contracts so special that people can falsely market them to the public and not be liable?
Because it involves trusting that no one made copies of the key, turning a locked door into a backdoor? Your mitigation ideas are sound though, and could also be used as a kind of rolling canary trap.
Rarely does encryption exist in a complete vacuum. Just as we cannot necessarily listen to every one on one conversation, those conversations become important when related to something occurring withing the "physical" world. I think we've seen that Tor does not protect you from someone who's determined to find you (see: Silk Road).
Latency is largely irrelevant to one-way video streaming (at least until it's so high it affects throughput), and since Netflix designed this to test your speed for their one-way video streaming service I think leaving out latency testing is reasonable.

Some games are pretty convincing sand boxes and it's not obvious to me that you really need full range of senses to properly teach the AI.
Your correct, but this is combatted in practice through UX usually. Doing work in the background, doing retry w/ decay, bubbling up things that didn't go well to the user at the right time, etc. For a client to just spam 300 requests the moment there is a hiccup that is generally not good. At scale its indistinguishable from a DDOS (been there, hah!).

Also for it to be that jarring we are talking about a failure at the exact moment you are using the data-heavy app, and not 1 minute before. Every time you go to use the app its likely the dns is re-queried.

So, at the end of the day if you have a mission critical thing running where you need to try very hard and can't tolerate 60 seconds of failure, you would bake multiple paths to a backend in the client configuration at some point. So the client would know if backend A is down it can do client side failover to backend B.

Sometimes this technique is used in conjunction with a highly fault tolerant server stuff, and not as a replacement for it.
When everything is decentralized, it's going to be much harder to enforce any rules about no-crypto. For now things like social networks are cenetralized, leading to all these temptations to mine the data. It's not just government who wants youd data - it's every organization!
