You're right on many points. My observation is, when it comes to deeper Ai that trends towards AGI, the private sector seems lost in terms of the big ideas and applications. The VCs are also lost and have no idea on how to appreciate fundamentally groundbreaking R&D development ventures.

To be honest, most of the funding and deeply interesting work for ground breaking Ai research lies in the public and defense sector. They have more of an idea and vision for what Ai can be applied to than the private sector. Leaps and bounds beyond.

In the private sector, I get asked questions like 'Can it be used to predict if someone will click on an ad'. In the public sector, I get a 40 page technology acquisition pdf outlining a forward thinking application of Ai.

People forget that self driving cars arose from Darpa research. The latest innovations in computer security utilizing Ai came from a Darpa competition. IBM's neuromorphic chip : darpa funding. Darpa and other defense programs also have a slew of Ai development projects open to researchers.

Ultimately I find this a bit ridiculous given how vocal some individuals in the tech field are about the 'dangers of Ai'. They harp and harp about what could happen if more capable Ai gets developed but you don't see their money anywhere near the groups doing deeper development in Ai.

Lastly.. Yes, better solutions and more deeply inspired approaches to Ai will trump hoards of data and compute power any-day. Thank goodness for the public sector pushing forward fundamental research and development in Ai.

You are right. It's wrong. Those responsible are completely insane.
Wrong stance on SSD: always get an SSD where to put the temporary data, i.e. the form that your dataset takes to be fed into the DL backend. For instance, working with Caffe, your image dataset is turned into an LMDB or HDF5 database, while you can keep your unprocessed dataset on a regular HDD. The trick is to always prevent your GPU(s) from starving.

More information would help. What content did you put up that they're upset about?
You are missing a subtlety by referring to "its configuration file" in the singular. Part of the problem is that there are multiple possible configuration files, at least one set of which normally does not exist and lives in the MySQL data directory which is writable by the unprivileged server user.
Huh, what you know about bad government. I'm trying to leave country where 99.99% of all Judge verdicts are "guilty" (it's official statistics - you have 1/1000 chance to remain free if you are in court). I'm trying to leave police state where all phone calls and sms messages are _officially_ tapped and cellular operators have to store records for 3 years. Where government officially wants to decrypt all of your ssl traffic (it's just impossible technically, but they are too stupid to realize it), and all non-encrypted traffic is already being monitored. In Russia, if policeman is going to your direction on the street - you are nervous. If he is knocking to your door - you know there's a big chance of big problems.
I can say much more, about feeding wars also, it's just offtopic. But trust me, US reality right now is something we can't even dream about. And I know about US not from movies, it's not so difficult to monitor US-related news.
UPDATE Here is the time of events.

- Received Notice of Infringement of the company's Intellectual Property Rights via my domain provider (I have my information private).

- I reply with the email below:
"This email is in response to your expressed concerns regarding my blog.

To clarify, my blog uses the term hacking in the way of a “life hack” – a strategy to manage one’s time and daily actives in the most efficient manner possible – specifically, in this case promoting the use of XXX in a positive way. Examples of this type of content are explanation and examples of XXX features and instructions on how to use the platform.

To further clarify, I am not using my blog commercially. I am not gaining any financial benefit from its use on my blog.

If you wish to purchase the name of my blog, I’d be open to having that discussion."

- They email back saying that they do not reimburse incurred expenses in setting up my blog.

-I do not reply.

- They contact my hosting provider with the same request they initially contacted the company I purchased my domain through.

Correct me if I'm wrong (it's been a while), but I'd say you never needed to give Apple money to run your code on your device. You just needed to create a free developer account. The payment option was to publish apps in the AppStore etc.
Sure--just pointing out that the assumption the average income is $40k just isn't there.
I've updated with the timeline of events :). I didn't post anything but my bio. They're upset cause I used the term "hacking" alongside the name of their company. I used it in a life hacking way but I think they are more concerned about the domain name then the content as there isn't any content there.
As a serial entrepreneur, I consider China to be awesome right now. Not only is cash easier than ever to get (perfect storm of low domestic interest rates, government outbound forex controls, stock market scares, private sector domestic financial institution mismanagement and bankruptcies, and the widely recognized end of the era of easy real estate sector profits: the previous go-to for parking domestic assets), but overheads are low and the country has the world's most efficient supply-chain[0] (~2-3 days for anything, 24x7x365) for almost any electronics or components (perfect for hardware startups), a central location in Asia and a huge domestic market. On the flip side, international internet can be a drag (slow) and a stable visa situation, while achievable, affordable and essentially permanently secure (unlike most western countries), takes a few months to settle.

At my current startup[1] we are currently locking down a rental agreement on an office and may use the rest of the space (significant) to re-start a local makerspace concept that failed to get enough fiscal traction last year.[2] If anyone out there is working on a hardware project and looking for a low-cost base of operations, we can give you a home. In time I would love to transition to an incubator.

Previously I worked in the US (establishing the first foreign office of a London startup), for the US remotely (new SF-based startup), in the UK, China and Australia. I feel the US has a great ecosystem for investment but this is largely outweighed by hassles on visas, litigation, cost and zero life-stability for non green card holders with families. The UK is simply expensive (also with visa hassles) and other than fintech or UK university-related research spinoffs seems sub-optimal. Australia is very strong on research but overheads, lack of VC and a small and widely dispersed domestic market mean that commercialization remains a bigger hurdle than it needs to be.

Part of being a franchisee means access to their software/booking system.

Being a Marriott hotel means you have access to Marriott customers on Marriott.com and other sites through their systems. That's not much different than AirBnB.

Could you elaborate on that? Are they not able to proceed legally if the hosting is in Russia?

...because if you think AGI is dangerous, you should fund groups trying to develop it? I am puzzled by the presentation of this proposition as if it is an absolutely obvious sequitur requiring no defense, such that failure to follow through on it is "ridiculous".

Thiel ignores his own advice on contrarian thinking.. It seems likely that tech entrepreneurship will democratize across other cities because the customers are there, lots of talent exists in other cities/universities and the Bay Area is too expensive for 30 something techies starting families.

The alternative is that Sv salaries rise exponentially in lockstep with real property values. Or we get a some kind of disconnect between rents and property values.
If they thought about turning it off to increase the clarity of the speech, they probably thought of turning them on in case the computer is about to explode.
Awesome! Thanks for the videos.

You should also check out this great documentary, Secret Life of the Dog.

It has a segment in it regarding this fox domestication project.

Also gave me a greater appreciation for how great dogs are.

no, it does not fit the bill. It needs truly arbitrary job running.

I want to be able to just drop in some arbitrary command (e.g. df -h /some/build/agent/dir/ | grep 99%) that would not be worth it to me to write a script, commit it to git, get that deployed and running.

In fact, I AM a fan of this being in git, but the example I'd use is an improvement on TeamCity, where you can configure your job and project configurations to "commit to git" so that you can easily restore when you need to rebuild a server or reload a previous version.

Sooooo many use cases for arbitrary jobs. Many of which may be short lived, but want them automated in some way.

You just summed up my entire life for the past year. My answer: be a known entity that can get a ton of cash before you have a product. That seems to be the best way. Otherwise you grind it out really hard like I/we are doing. It's exceptionally difficult.
Facebook technically kills the whole internet

(http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/04/facebook-is-eating-the-internet/391766/). It tries to copy other startups, so people can stay on its platform and watch more "ads".

Instead of surfing idiosyncratic webpages, flaneur now surfs facebook. It is like going to Paris and one only sees McDonald and Starbucks. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/05/opinion/sunday/the-death-of-the-cyberflaneur.html)

In addition, nowadays, people do not create webpage for fun. They want to commercialize their online presence. Everything, including oneself, is a brand now (http://www.personalbrandingblog.com/50-tips-to-brand-yourself-online/). This leads to the totalitarianism of minimalism (https://www.sitepoint.com/less-minimalist-websites-still-rule/) where they want to people to "see" their webpages "efficiently". People are wearing a mask in and out. There is no authenticity and honesty.

The internet was the place for playfulness and wonder. DeviantArts, Rate Your Music, Geocities were really fun.

Now, the internet is full of BS. Startups are full of BS ("This is a site that spits out whole websites of fake bullshit web companies. Hit "get started" to refresh. http://tiffzhang.com/startup/?s=243648772317).
Reddit is a rare phenomenon because it was founded by Aaron Schwartz and he never got any credit. And I am pretty sure Aaron Schwartz would never go to “Hackathon”, “Entrepreneurial leadership at Stanford”. They are full of BS. No one has a deep passion for truly improving people’s lives. Everything is for efficiency.

Palo Alto becomes a dead place now. There is only one bookstore in Palo Alto area and no students ever visit. Stanford students do not love to learn at all. They are “excellent sheep”.

The dark net is okay and it becomes boring after a while.

Whenever one relates personal experience in a public fora, esp. one with pretentions of logical thinking, the default reaction's to relegate it to an anecdote. The self reported intellectuals cry: "It's an anecdote so it doesn't count!"

Ok.

But I'm not writing a paper. I'm merely relating my experiences and subsequent thoughts. Surely many black people went through the same experience when talking about their "anomalous" and "anecdotal" interactions.

Having a cop threaten me with a gun because I had the effrontery to claim a headache is an anecdote. But, it's one that indubitably influences how I approach subsequent interactions and -- moreover -- my whole stance on exactly how the power-balance in any citizen-to-cop interaction works.

Yeah, plural of anecdote isn't data, but I'm not waiting for a scientific paper before I start forming my own opinions of the world.
When I started getting around computers we had to pay for everything and most of the programming languages were specific to the machine one had, way before Apple mattered at all in the home market.

Apple 8 bit computers weren't even relevant in Europe.

Yet I managed to learn pretty well.
I think that's the same line of reasoning used by the Assasinat.io startup - making introductions between sets of three people (One of whom happens to be heavily armed, one of whom happens to be fairly wealthy, and one who happens to be wanted dead by the second.)

Since courts aren't stupid, I don't think it would pass muster either. Even if it did have a karma system, and a sweet app.
I not only had zero connections to YC.. I actually had zero connections to silicon valley! We (RedCarpet.Cash) are a India-based fintech startup - IMHO the third to ever get funded by YC.

We were also unusual because we are probably the first Indian YC startup with on-ground operations. We went through 3 rounds of YC interviews (not just the one!) .. because the interviewers had to learn about India. Our first interviewer was mwseibel !

What impressed me was that YC learned about India, invested in us and supported us through a pivot back in India. Big shout out to Aaron Harris, who is probably the resident Asia expert now [1]

So out of curiosity, what did you see about OpenStack that made you go this route?

I myself am a PTL (project technical lead) in one of the OpenStack projects and although I do understand where you are coming from I wonder what the gist of the experience you had was...

Care to share what experiences you have that made you think 'total dumpster fire'?

I know the software isn't perfect, but then what software is? Also I've seen that the OpenStack 'having a bad time experience' is as much of a cultural change as it is a software change; ie, OSS in general isn't a take and not contribute kind of thing, that's not how it really works/gets better.

You may be on to something, and you're right there is Robusta available that is supposed to be good.

Another difference is that American crafty houses are roasting lighter than in Italy. For whatever reason, Americans are following a different craft and not optimizing their espresso recipes nearly as well as the Italians and not using the same goals and procedures as they do.

And frankly I'm convinced some of the roasters simply don't know what they're doing. They've been told that roasting light is good, and they don't realize that light roasting with espresso brewing is risky. Especially with bean types that are known to be acidic.
The comments,,, so,,, ignorant. As if, all in one place, all the reasons I needed to stop reading social commentary in HN comments. The ignorance, the abundance of it, the diversity of it, Trump would be unable to stop himself from jizzing over the cornucopia of bigotry. Trump bigotry jizz, everywhere.
The cranial cavities are definitely larger, although it's ambiguous whether that just means better vision. No source on me, but it's not hard to find.
This reminds me of a Medium post I read recently, "Why Espressos in America are not Good?":

https://medium.com/@sinzone/why-is-espresso-in-america-so-ba...

In my opinion the only true Italian Espresso in the Bay Area is made at Cavalli Caffe. It’s a simple small bar with no interior design, no fancy coffee beans, and no extravagant machines. Cavalli is owned and operated by one man from Naples.
A question I never see being brought up: do people pay their due taxes from their AirBnB earnings?
They did receive 'aid' in two forms:

* Student loans that cannot be discharged via bankruptcy.

* Student loans that are more accessible thanks to both government loans and lending policies that encourage banks and credit unions to furnish student loans.
I'm pretty sure stevetrewick wasn't talking about this when he wrote "and realised that just to run hello world I would need to give Apple money and then do those things that you said".

If you put it that way, it's impossible to write any code and run it on any device without paying something to some company.
may i have one plz to m8r-ljptb7@mailinator.com
##frontend on freenode, we are off-topic almost all the time.
It isn't. Fair would be allowing them to discharge their loans via bankruptcy and forcing the institutions that took the loans to eat most of that.
Robusta produces a better cream but is flat in taste. Arabica gives you the hops to draw the analogy.

No, for a long time there were no "free developer accounts". If you wanted to run code on an actual device, you had to pay.
Of course! My point is that AirBnB's private rental business would give it no significant competitive advantage to Mariott in the franchised hotel industry. At best, it would give them a cross-product marketing channel... While marrying themselves to a lot of financial, and brand risk.

They may as well take that money, and invest it into <Insert non-core competency of AirBnB>. Or, alternatively, partner with an existing hotel franchise.

Managing other people's properties, on the other hand, is a natural extension of their core business.
...and keyboard shortcuts....don't forget about those!
It's the job of the government - to protect the common interest of the society that gives it the power. "People [being] too dumb to know what are their own interests" is pretty much a definition of the term "coordination problems", and humans form governments precisely in order to solve those.
ISTR - and ICBW because it has indeed been a while - that back in the iPhoneOS days the free account got you XCode and the simulator but you needed a paid account to be able to get an actual provisioning profile to load code on a device. But that was like 5 or 6 XCodes and 4 and some S'es iPhones ago. I might well be misremembering.
DNC leaks reveal former FCC chairman (2009-2013) paid DNC $3.5 mil for position
Yes. When requesting any change to a standard contract, be respectful and give clear and reasonable justification for the request. Also, it helps if you have legal advice prior. These days, I generally run all my contracts through my lawyer and respond with any questions or changes with a "my attorney recommends..."
Yep.
"The best way to predict the future is to create it"

Don't stretch your mind to far on this one. If someone or various groups develop AGI and you have no stake in them, you will have no say in how it gets used. For once, people need to be honest with themselves about this.

You're not going to be able to dictate from a third party consortium of PhDs how someone should run their company or develop their software.
Maybe you should have to do that in order to clear the loans, but if you do I think it should still bite the institutions that overcharged the student just like actual bankruptcy should.

There needs to be negative pressure applied to the price of education.
This was a careless mistake on my part. I shouldn't noticed that the link directed to comments instead of the article itself.
#emacs on Freenode is great, if one can handle the traffic. Great convos and greatest (IT/CS related) memes.
Not a fan. Illy is by far the best option for espresso. Otherwise the best cheap alternative I've found is actually cafe la llave. Makes a great espresso and americano.
You're being generous when you say they're capitalizing on inefficiencies; they are straight up freeloading, having platform users shoulder the capital costs.
One of my favorite quotes from the movie Good Will Hunting:

"See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that ... you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!"

It's not the actual learning itself that's expensive; it's the credentials.
Thanks guys. Actually I added the "correct me if I'm wrong" part because I suspected this could very well be the case :) You know, we're getting old, we forget the worst parts...
It's the running it that is the problem, not the running it as root. mysqld_safe is a Poor Man's Daemon Supervisor, written badly in shell script, as they always are. It demands running as root, because it has a configuration parameter of the user that the server program attempts to switch to and that it chown's various files to.

(Part of) the problem is that it is run at all. Don't be confused into thinking that this is a Debian problem, moreover, just because the problem happened to be demonstrated on Debian Linux. Debian isn't the only system still running mysqld_safe.
