Great find on the article. Perhaps one day the judges for the Loebren Prize will be replaced by these "self-learning" robots. There is a discussion about this on Metaculus-

http://www.metaculus.com/questions/73/will-the-silver-turing...
Considering a group of people a "problem population" due to their race is racist, but I think this perspective is shared by many people in America. How do we get police to stop being agents of racism when so much of the population condones this sort of thing?

Blacks have ~4x the murder rate of the combined white / hispanic population, and IIRC something like 6-8x the murder rate of the disaggregated white population, depending on how exactly you segment hispanics. It ends up being approximately half of all murders. Note that this tends to be a geographically concentrated population, often next to an incredibly low-murder urban(e) white area, so you end up with cities like Chicago where the goal is to keep the anarchy from spilling over into your tax base.

It's not delusional to think that dealing with facts like this is a major area of concern for law enforcement and local political leadership, especially when people are so quick to denounce any contemplation of reality as racist.

I guess if you wanted to put on your PC goggles and studiously avoid any discussion of race, you could do the intellectually dishonest thing and talk about things like "the population of South Chicago", but being intellectually dishonest doesn't seem to have gotten us very far.

I was in the fist or second year of college and I asked for A New Kind of Science book as a gift. I believed the book, not knowing much about the history of the related fields NKS supposedly compelely revolutionized. That's how cult following starts, isn't it?

But then as years rolled by I realized that stuff is too far out of the ordinary, with the claims which are too lofty. Even as far as style goes, at first phrases like "I discovered this...", "I did that.." seems impressive, excuded confidence, but then, they started to sound grating and excessively arrogant. I just couldn't stand to read it anymore. The book collected dust for a few years, then I gave it away to someone.
> Psy's "Gangnam Style" video has been viewed 2.6 billion times

So? How it's relevant to the discussion at hand? Of course youtube is a great platfrom for pop-artists. But we aren't pop artists. And there were platforms before youtube and undoubtedly would be ones after.

It didn't, it was a joke/publicity stunt:

> In the case you make, of seeking out family, friends, or shared interests, in general, Facebook is that network,

I have varied interests, and virtually none of them I found on Facebook or they depend on Facebook in any significant capacity. True, I can find some materials regarding to my interests on facebook, and some people sharing these interests are present on facebook, but none of it makes facebook irreplaceable. In fact, if facebook disappeared this second, it would be no more than minor inconvenience for any of the interests I share. Beyond certain point, unless your interests are either extremely rare or extremely broad, size of the network matters very little. If another billion people joins Facebook, it won't change my life even a little.

It may make next Psy earn more millions or billions, and make ad makers' profits soar to the skies, but to my life - and, I am sure, life of about 90% of Earth population - nothing would happen.

> "An Anatomy of Large Facebook Share Cascades" mentions a case of 600,000 re-shares

So what? Yes, cat pictures get shared a lot. Picture of Obama winning election probably even more. Information content of either is very close to zero, and neither is necessary for anything - Facebook is a crappy platform for being informed about political matters (even leaving the question of confirmed bias aside) and cat pictures are not something one can't live without anyway.

> Smaller communities with good discussion characteristics (say, Reddit) come close to matching Facebook on actual discussion

Facebook is one of the most crappiest platform in existence for actual discussion. Only twitter is worse, and that is because it's impossible to hold a conversation there at all, by design. Reddit is way better but that's a low bar to clear - most of discussion on Reddit, by volume, is garbage, with small pockets of excellent content if you can find them.
This reminds me a bit of the beginning of Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" where Charles Darnay gave French lessons to the few students who were interested in learning a living language rather than dead ones.

I wouldn't say that HN is flawed the way elections are, because non readers aren't affected by what goes on here (I hope).

You logic strikes me as specious -- the proximity of an idea to the mushy middle is orthogonal to whether it is correct. Great ideas are often met with violent opposition -- but shitty ideas are, too. If I thought most people on HN were in fact dumbasses, as most of the electorate often seems to be, I would go somewhere else. It's the least worst forum (save perhaps Metafilter) I've found so it's a place where I go to procrastinate.

My job is to write, so my natural impulse when I see something that seems easily dismantled is to get in a bit of practice.

From the article: "If you don't know how compilers work, then you don't know how computers work."

I still don't understand how JIT compilers work, which is probably the majority of compilers that I'm using today. It seems that there aren't many resources or established textbooks for this area. I feel we're still left in the dark in this age.

That's an oversimplification. Democrats have always been the pro-labor party and Republicans have always been the pro-business party, it's just that during the Civil War, northern businesses were competing for economic and political power with southern planters (and were thus anti-slavery), hence the Republicans became the anti-slavery party. Resentments over the Civil War led a majority of southern whites to the Democratic camp up until the 1960's, when the Johnson administration went all-in on civil rights and the Republicans deployed the Southern Strategy to sweep up the southern white vote.
Subvocal microphones work (to some extent) by detecting the electrical impulses sent to speech muscles when somebody speaks mentally instead of physically. I wonder if this would work with involuntary recollection - I ask you to think of your password, and even though you won't divulge it to me, the signals for speaking it would leak to my electrodes.

Still mostly science fiction, but plausible.
Yet more ignorance of history. The word Palestine comes from 'Peleshet' which means 'Philistine.' The Philistines were mediterranean people originating from Asia Minor and Greek localities.

The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most closely related to the Greeks. They did not speak Arabic. They had no connection, ethnic, linguistic or historical with Arabia or Arabs.

Hence "so-called Palestinians."

> Finish the job on healthcare, and you'll discover that it becomes easier to advance the cause of UBI.

This suggests you believe UHC is a useful stepping stone to UBI. Is this actually your opinion? Because it doesn't reflect the vibe I got in your article. If I understand your article correctly, you believe

A) UBI is inherently fragile.

B) Conservative lobbyists will cause UBI to decay into something ugly.

C) UHC is more resilient.

D) Therefore UHC is better.

E) And France proves it.

But your comments upthread suggest you believe UHC is superior because it's easier to implement given its comfortable position within the Overton-Window. The Overton-Window Argument says it may become feasible in the future, while the Fragility Argument says it will never become feasible.

Frankly, I suspect the article is a Motte & Bailey. Maybe your real issue with UBI is that it will take too long to campaign for. I.e. you want your marshmallow sooner rather than later. Which is reasonable. But understand that it's another discussion entirely and was not clear to me from the article.

The more charitable interpretation is that you believe UBI's fragility is due to its immaturity. And that UHC will grant us experience. Okay. But if so, this was not clear to me from your article. And it would contradict your position that UBI experiments are a waste.
...imagine this in racing. Saw some races over the weekend and the racing line varied considerably between cars and drivers, not like F1 where every driver is that good. I imagine the wider population have an even wider idea of what the 'racing line' is. In theory the Tesla car could take 'better than Senna' lines through ever curve, avoiding the crashes and also optimising efficient regenerative braking. I look forward to this and I am glad the Tesla brain is learning from 'the fleet'.

Not quite. Fundamentally, pre-revolutionary Iran had (and modern Iran still seems to have) the same pattern as other middle-eastern countries: a Westernized, liberal-friendly urban middle-upper class, and a traditionalist, Islam-focused lower-class and rural population. And, as is also typical, the westernized component overestimated its own strength. Many of them actually supported the revolution, expecting that it would bring a democratic or perhaps socialist government (remember, socialism is also a Western ideology). Instead they got swept over by the Islamist faction, which had the support of the masses.

This happens over and over in the Middle East. Syria is the most recent example. The urban middle class revolted against Assad hoping for democracy, but instead their war got completely taken over by the much more powerful islamists. Now they are between a rock and a hard place.

If you have any middle eastern friends, they are probably quite modern, liberal and friendly to Western values. I know mine are. But there is a strong selection bias there. The real "common people" don't go to study in a European university.
This reminds me of some documentary I watched about the Klondike Gold Rush. Someone (who obviously didn't make money at it) was interviewed by a reporter, and he said he would do it again any time just to be a part of the excitement and fun. It's cliche, but it really is about the journey not the destination.
Please. At the time of the US invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11, it wasn't even a nation state in the modern sense, it was a crater that was periodically claimed by one faction or another. The US entry was as strategically useful to as many of these factions as it was harmful. The enthusiastic support from numerous factions for American intervention is well documented.

Likewise the same can be said for half of the states in the region, you can list the factions just waiting for the US Marines to come in and do their dirty work for them, and sometimes these factions include AQ. Look at Libya...we "liberated" it much to the enthusiastic applause and support of the same people we tried to bomb to perdition after 9/11.

We're in danger of the same mistake in Syria...the world can't abide the Assad regime, yet the rebels draw support from Islamists that are hostile to US interests.

We're not the good guys, but there are also no good guys.
My only concern with the system is that it treats people with no need or desire to have a credit card as 'risky', even if they have excellent assets and income. I'm personally unable to sign up for a mobile phone plan because I don't have a credit score, yet I rent a home, own a decent car and earn decent money without the need to borrow... This was only an issue because the person rejecting my application was relying on a computer screen to say 'denied' and where there is no room to say 'thats a bit silly'.

The statement is false on the face of it. I've learned over past year or so how computers work down to the gates with fragmented understanding of analog that implements them. I've built compilers before, too. The subjects are orthogonal: you can fully understand what a computer is doing without ever understanding how compilers work. It's called assembly language. :)

I think the author really meant to say you have to understand some amount of how computers work and how compilers translate HLL's to them in order to fully understand why your HLL programs behave the way they do. That's the charitable interpretation. I'm actually writing this comment on a laptop sitting on a book that did that for me. It's called Write Great Code by Randall Hyde. Guy who made Art of Assembly Programming and HLA. It was enlightening.
That's not minimal credit history, that's quite a bit of credit history.

It doesn't matter how many times you swipe your card, you can get a card and never use it and and still counts for your credit history. The point being you have credit available to you but you aren't using it. You have four years of not running up your credit card, that's huge.

This post made me look up synchrophasors (cool name) and it turns out they rely on the GPS system for time synchronization and thus are susceptible to spoofing attacks[0].

There's more information in [2] about the risk of GPS spoofing and how utilities may be mitigating it.

> You can have 10mio on your account, but if you have no job or own your own company it will actually affect your credit score.

That's not true. Your FICO score does not take into account your employment status, nor your income.

> With regards to the debit card the point is that the kind of purchases you did before you got a credit card, aren't going to change dramatically or fundamentally after you get one.

If that were true, it would contradict your earlier argument that "most people don't use it like that which is why it's such a good business." Your statements cannot both be true.
Debit card usage is not going to be fundamentally different than your debit card usage. So yes it makes plenty sense as it could show something about your general ability to stay financially healthy.

You are asked about assets, income etc. but those things have very little effect on whether you get a credit card or not.

In every representative democracy you elect the lesser evil. That is part of the point of democracy, you compromise with everybody else. In my opinion "not bombing people", "not building a wall around the country" and similar stuff should be pretty high on everybody's wishlist for a new president. Apparently in America 41% of the voting population has a very different wishlist and/or is ignorant to or does not know the things candidates actually say.

I get that Americas election system is broken and I also get that "not Clinton" or for some people "not a woman" is on their wishlist. It just puzzles me that America, the country of "the [letter]-word", does not have a blacklist of phrases a candidate simply cannot say engrained deep enough into society.
