The irony is that we don't know, other than anecdotally or non-official sources, how racially/ethically homogeneous Japan is, unless I am mistaken.

Is it not true that non-citizens do not have entries in the koseki system? I may be misunderstanding. Is it not also true that on becoming a citizen, a "Japanese name" must be selected? Though I habe heard that such a name can be entirely in katakana, and simply a transliteration of a Western or Chinese name.

I know however that one may select an entirely "native Japanese" name upon naturalisation.

This isn't a direct solution to your problem, but when I worked on a large C++ code base, I found it tremendously helpful to lean more on unit tests as a source of fast feedback for a particular code unit rather than compiling and booting the whole app for a manual test. Manual tests will still be necessary, but they should be less frequent so your long compiles will be less frequent as well.

Even less helpful for you, I recently been able to use Go more frequently, so I have no more long compile times. :p

It is a complete state-sponsored racket. There's no way around it.

You pay an upfront fee to ICANN and probably some kind of recurring tax and you get to create a TLD. You then sell this TLD for higher prices than ICANN and run a very simple service that processes the transactions.

You then take anything lower than a 5 or 6 letter domain that is a word in the english language and define it as a "premium" domain and charge obscene prices for those domains. The fee you charge for the domain based on this system is recurring. So instead of buying milk.com for $10k and selling it for $12k you already own milk.blog by default and if someone wants to register it you charge $500 a year.

NOT TO MENTION this whole system is like a slap in the face to a certain kind of "domainers." People who buy domains based on their perceived value, park them, and then try and resell them for more money. There are many millions of dollars wrapped up in this other, also stupid racket. These companies got so bold as to get their domains "valued" and then bet on the value of their company based on their holdings like some type of stock filled with mortgages. This new system is like cutting directly into that strategy but I guess ICANN gets some of the money this way.
Browser vendors and OS makers should do an end run around ISPs and ICANN. Just agree between themselves ( what are they like 10? tops) and fork the current registries. Then issue domains themselves.

What are the plebs gonna do? Go the the non existent alternative?

The problem is that it's a counterproductive move. In Belgium / Flanders we had an extreme far right political party called the Flemish Block.

Af first the media gave them no air time, they weren't invited to political debates, they filtered them out like they didn't exist. The political parties created a cordon sanitaire, somekind of agreement to never create a government with that party involved.

The result? The biggest win ever for a far right party. To this day that particular moment in history is called black sunday. They were the underdog, the ideal party to give a protest vote and their idea's for a lot didn't seem that ridiculous as they got no confrontations.

Later they tried to outlaw the party but it just resurfaced as a new party called the Flemish importance (Vlaams Belang). Then something changed and they got more airtime, they were invited to political debates or debates too court.

The result ? People saw how ridiculous some of their arguments were or how they lost debates when confronted with just sane arguments.... Today they are a marginally sized party at best and nobody is scared from them anymore.

The only way you can defeat those ideas is not by taking away their voice, but to let them speak.

You are right about this story. But honestly this is the first story I've seen there that presents him in a positive light in the past 6 months or so.

In fact, I assumed they wouldn't report on it at all since it broke yesterday morning or early afternoon and they mentioned firings in the disarray story.

Sure, I know about opinion pages, but sometimes the opinions can cloud people's judgement.

Regarding Fox news - they've been going back and forth. Fox news already ruined their reputation in the past with biased pro establishment republican reporting. I view them as an alternative news source at this point. They don't outright lie, but they bend the truth in such a way that the message becomes whatever their narrative is at the time.

This is not a great source, but you can check that indeed they are from out of state. Some of the protesters who are organizing with megaphones were previously on Dem payrolls. There were also pictures of some of the same protesters in multiple cities all over the country.

I am still suspicious but at the same time hopeful of Trump. I think he is the only one who can change certain things. Otherwise, economic condition for many people would get worse partly because of outsourcing and partly because of tech advances. UBI is not ready yet. When the economy is poor, this has historically led to radicalization of various groups. We already see traces of it in US. I think it makes sense to appeal to these groups and fix some of their problems.

> Who are these people that think a helmet is impractical to carry?

People that use shared city-bikes irregularly (like me.) I don't always go out expecting to use a bike, but life isn't always predictable (subways busted, cabs not available, unanticipated change of plans, etc.)

> I rode a bike for 2 years in downtown Toronto, wearing a helmet the entire time, and never once did I think that the helmet was inconvenient. You carry it up to your office and leave it on your desk. Or you turn it upside down and it's an adhoc shopping basket. Or you clip it to your backpack. Or you loop it through your bike lock.

Good for you for not finding it inconvenient. That doesn't mean that other's also don't.

Interesting. I'm not a deep learning guy, but from what I can gather, the new auxiliary tasks are to be rewarded for "pixel changes" and "network features".

I haven't nearly finished reading the paper, but is it safe to say this is similar (at a very high level), to a type of "novelty search", where the agent is searching not only for a policy that is directly accomplishing the task at hand, but also for novel stimulus (in the case of pixel changes), and novel internal states (features, or maximally activated hidden nodes in the language of the paper), and that the benefit of this would be to more easily find relevant features that could be useful in the "big picture" task, and maybe not get as stuck in a non-optimal policy?

The trusted setup only requires one person to not collude. Given how skeptical Peter Todd has been about this entire business, I'd be t that at the very minimum he was honest in his role.
One caveat to this: from the data I've seen a lot of these issues revolve around specific communities. Please keep in mind that police forces are not national, but rather local.
This seems to have become the de facto pattern with the new gTLD system. A company swoops in and buys a namespace for $200k (or more if there is a competitive bid), and they effectively turn into the cartel equivalent of the domain squatter.

You can register your new gTLD for anywhere between $1 and $100, depending on what I suppose they expect their target demographic to be willing to pay. Dot horse is more expensive than dot webcam, for instance, and I imagine dot lawyer is more expensive than dot lol.

However, if your domain name uses a word or phrase that happens to be in their "premium domain" dictionary, then they'll charge an elevated price based on heuristics similar to what yesteryear's domain squatters used. Some simple and concise domains can run hundreds of thousands of dollars.

cheap.horse is $25/yr
tiny.horse is $100/yr
internet.horse is $1000/yr
free.horse is "ask us"

Controlling the TLD is the ultimate form of domain squatting.

I wonder what will happen when some of these companies go under because they can no longer afford to pay off their debts? Will those that registered domain names lose them outright? Can someone else buy the gTLD and take them all over?
She'd love a Dodge Grand Caravan we have them for work service vehicles and I was amazed at how quick it shifts.

At first I thought it was a mistake almost like the engine was lugging but it was in eco mode and shifting early.

In normal mode it can shift through three or four gears in (what felt like) one second. And it has a seven speed transmission.

I was wondering if I got a Hellcat trans by mistake!

> Create more, to open up the domain space...

Adding TLDs doesn't open up the domain space; it closes it. The domain name system was designed to expand downwards, by adding more hierarchies. Downwards is where the space is. Expanding upwards is limited.

The racket ran out of space selling keywords inside .com, where this was originally meant to be confined. Once they finish selling keywords at the root, that'll be it.
I have a last name that's extremely uncommon. MyLastName.com was available for many, many years. I thought about buying it a few times in the last 20 or so years but I don't have any use for it so I didn't. Two years ago it was bought by a domain squatter who was probably iterating through the white pages. Now that I can't have it I want it (I guess human nature) but they are asking like $2k for it. It seems somehow "unfair" that "my" last name is being "held hostage" by some faceless company that's just trying to make a quick buck.
Quite old, but there was an article on the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34713435
It hasn't always been the case though.

It's only been the case for around 200 years. Before that the progress was so slow that there was no issues transitioning as most kind of work took generations to change.

The problem is that now things changes so fast that lots of people simply can't re-educate them selves and the market doesn't really need that many people, yet we have no plan what so ever for this issue besides UBI and a hope that technology will allow us to create a post scarcity society. Hourly wages rarely even make sense since thats exactly the kind of jobs that normally could be calculated that way which are going away.

I would really urge anyone who think that technology creates more jobs than it removes to show where those new jobs are besides to the countries we've been outsourcing them too.

But jobs moving to China and India isn't solving the underlying issue and I simply don't understand why people don't take it more seriously and why Luddite fallacy keeps coming up. It's not that good an explanation (not saying you talked about luddite fallacy just in general)

I want the DMV to only license drivers when they are safe, alert, and driving defensively, so I want the DMV to only license autonomous systems when they can meet or exceed the bar of safe, alert, and defensive drivers. We can't enforce that humans drive that way after they're licensed, but we can enforce it with autonomous systems. We are already happy regulating driving, and we shouldn't lower the licensing bar to how people actually drive on average, "You get your license as long you drive better than the average Joe looking at google maps while he tailgates."

The JVM is still a more performant VM. And it does still have a lot more options for varying use cases with a big selection of GCs as well as custom VMs that let's you do real time programming.

But as others pointed out, Android is not built on the JVM, but on Java. Java != JVM.

And the CLR is a pretty great VM too. It's performance isn't as great as the JVM, but it's darn close, while also offering a lot of ease of use over the JVM.

This is very common with these new TLD's. At least they didn't give it to you for a year then jack up the price. I had jacki.party as a fun domain for my wife that she didn't end up using, but after a year the price went from like $29/yr to $2,495/yr. because they decided it was "premium." There was nothing my registrar could do because it was the domain registry who decided that, so I just let it lapse.

Why is a very specific spelling (note the lack of "e") of a not terribly common name so expensive? No clue, but I'm guessing the same forces are at work (i.e., $$$).
