I have first hand experience with this. In China there is a law which states that in certain sectors and above a certain level of "security" (guess who defines security) the supplier company must be Chinese and its legal representative must be a Chinese national.
Of course this law is loosely enforced. It's not that they prevent you from doing business there. Simply it's like a gun pointed to your head. When they decide it's time to pull the trigger, you're out. You might think to buy a Chinese company or set up a commercial partnership or found a JV and then sell your products through them. One successful example of this is Blizzard. However this works up to a point- the "security" level. When you're above the line, even the product must be Chinese, and that's when you transfer your sources to the local counterpart or give up and leave.

Concretely, this means that you can forget doing business with the Chinese gov. Or prepare to be canned up any time.

Now couple this with the wild investments China is conducting on a cash-hungry Europe. And of course it is state-driven, because outbound capital flows are heavily restricted in China otherwise.

However it looks like Chinese acquisitions in EU not only play toward China's long-term goals to rebrand their production (and eventually make money off of our own market). You can also see it as a modern cold-war with the USA, where the stake is industrial predominance and the means is influence over Europe. Just like the old USA vs USSR times. The USA try to make deals with us, while the Chinese outright buy us.

Europe has mainly two choices, take a side or become the third pole. I think bot are politically valid choices, however what is really astonishing and enraging, and the article conveys it very well, is that EU has the political energy to do neither.
It's not that our political agenda gets crushed by either side. Is that we have none. And this to me means that the European Union at the end of the story will be the only one true big loser, and we as Europeans will follow along.

Contempt is the word. I emailed my local MP about this, highlighting how it put us all at risk and did nothing to stop "the bad guys".

She ignored all my points and just said "we cannot let the terrorists and pedophiles communicate".

The difference in the UK is that significant, high traffic lines are still diesel as well.

The Great Western [1] line from London to the west of England and South Wales is a good example that is finally being electrified, but is still years behind schedule.

The UK is still catching up after decades of underinvestment in rail infrastructure.

It's not a realignment. China and Pakistan have been close strategic allies since the 70s [1], while Pakistan's stance with the US has gone back and forth a couple of times.

This is an important point.

Even if, for whatever reason, you agree with governments being able to access this data in extreme cases (suspected terrorism, whatever) and even if we put aside concerns about governments misusing this power, this bill also relies on ISPs keeping data safe. That is a huge risk in itself.

Not to mention the number of government agencies and departments that can access your data [0]. Does the Department for Transport, Food Standards Scotland or the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust really need access to my browsing history?

China is capitalist only on the small scale. Huge chunks of the economy are directed by the government and it selects winners and losers all the time.

The goal was capitalist efficiency gains without loss of control. So, yea plenty of people competing to sell lunch, nobody competing supply electricity.

>Regarding shadowbanned accounts not getting the same treatment: are you saying they weren't warned beforehand? Or not treated fairly before the banning?

Their comments are not allowed to be judged based on the merit of their content. They are pre-filtered by a moderator's decision that anything generated by that person is not fit for human conversation. Every other account, including brand new ones, can create a comment and have it seen by everyone.

They may have been warned, etc, but I'm saying the shadowban itself is garbage, not the conditions under which it is administered.

>How long should those who have contributed negatively (wrt community standards) tolerated?

Downvote/flag individual negative comments, that's what we have the system for. If someone truly wants to contribute negatively, a shadowban is a joke because they can create new accounts.
> It's not really clear to me why investment bankers earn such huge fees

You can think of investment bankers as salespeople. They sell very high value products in very competitive markets.

Whether you think that salespeople do an important job and/or a job that should be paid commensurate with the value of the product is a matter of opinion.Having spent a lot of time with salespeople when I was last in a startup, I have a lot of respect for folk who could do a job that I would most definitely, spectacularly fail at. YMMV.

I seem to recall reading about one of the German marques prototyping a system that used AR to project camera imagery onto the A-pillars to make them "see-through". It was a pretty cool effect.
It is optionally consistent if you know how to use it and you know its limitations. Their use of Cassandra was obviously wrong. Mixing LWT and non-LWT is like having only half of your shared data protected by mutexes - this isn't going to work correctly.
You can configure your webserver on root.com to act as a reverse proxy for the folders application1, etc.

If you use Apache you have mod_proxy (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html), just be carefull with the configuration and not end being an open proxy.
That's exactly the nuanced discussion I like to see from my elected representatives...
I have taken to sending all traffic through my own IKEv2 VPN hosted in Germany.

I have a script to automate setup [1], which I will be updating shortly to use Let's Encrypt and to generate an on-demand Mac/iOS configuration profile that keeps one constantly connected.

I have half a mind to set up some semi-commercial service on the basis of complete transparency and the motivation to avoid the Investigatory Powers Act (most existing VPN services seem to come across as very shady).

The FUD is strong, but that was exactly the point of that article. Having old-fashioned people in goverments who disagree that they should ditch their datacenters and start using clouds, is backwards thinking.

Just like goverments find ways to allow private companies to run their cellular networks, phone networks, tv cable networks, power grids - the same reasoning should allow private companies (public clouds) who do it much better than goverment employees, to run their compute services.
Probably, but transporting and storing energy are two things that are still very expensive and bad for efficiency.

With few hours of daylight in winter times you simply don't generate enough electricity to cope with the demand. It's a hard thing to solve too, the darker and colder it is the more energy people need (light and heating).
If only power storage were simple.

Ask HN: How did you get over interview anxiety?
I recently pulled out of an interview I had arranged for a job I'm probably qualified for, with a higher salary and better location than my current job.

The reason is that I get very anxious before and during interviews. This would be less of a problem if I was able to hide it but it becomes very obvious, to the point where I can't even form proper sentences.

The worst manifestation of it is that I start sweating. I'm not talking about a light sheen on my forehead, I mean like the landing scene of 'Airplane'. Imagine having a technical conversation while frantically wiping your face with your sleeves, feeling your shirt get wetter and wetter and trying to pretend nothing is happening.

This has had a major effect on my career (and life in general). I really need a find a way to get over it. I'm open to anything at this point, including medication/drugs (prescription or otherwise). I did try a beta-blocker at one point for the sweating but it didn't seem to do much, plus it does nothing for the anxiety itself.

I know I'm not the only person with this problem (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1770545) but I've never met anyone who gets it as powerfully as I do.

I've tried all the usual tricks like trying to control my breathing and body language but none of them seem to make a difference.

Sorry for the whiny tone of this post but if it gets read by one person who has defeated this or knows how to fix it then it could really change my life.

Much as I'd like to think that signing this would make a difference, it won't :(

Theresa May has been pushing for this legislation (or variants thereof) for years now. The existing powers which this bill replaces expire at the end of the year, and so the line "We cannot allow {terrorists|child pornographers|money launderers} a safe space to hide online" will be trotted out, and anyone arguing against it will be labelled soft on terror, and unpatriotic...
What would the upsides of such a match be for AlphaGo?

How many matches with other computers did Deep Blue play after its victory over Kasparov? (zero)

How many world championships did Deep Blue win? (zero, it played one in 1995 and lost to Fritz)

How many people tought Deep Blue was the strongest computer in the world in 1996? (All of them, because IBM said so and conveniently forgot about the lost world championship)

Google has already said AlphaGo is much stronger than other programs. There's no point in playing a match then, is there?
Trust it is. But the system has to try to reduce it to a minimum.

> It doesn't matter how well the software accounts for various issues - at some point something won't have only a single correct answer

It does, immensely. That's why we have floating point processing units instead of the fixed point. Think about it: even the single precision FP allows you to have "expected" responses between 10E-38 to 10E38. There are less stars in the observable universe. The double precision FP allows the ranges of inputs and outputs to be between 10E−308 and 10E308: there are only 10E80 atoms in the whole observable universe. Can the response which says how much the rocket is "aligned" be meaningful -- sure it can.

This piece of program catastrophically failed because some input was a just somewhat bigger than before.

Properly programmed components that are supposed to handle "continuous" inputs and provide "continuous" outputs (and that is the specific part we talk about) should not have "discontinuities" at the arbitrary points which are the accidents of some unimportant implementation decisions (leaving "operand error" exception for some input variables but protecting from it for others!).

I can understand that you don't understand this if you never worked in the area of the numerical computing or signal processing or something equivalently part of the "real life" responses, but I hope there are still enough professionals who know what I talk about.

Again from the report:

"The internal SRI software exception was caused during execution of a data conversion from 64-bit floating point to 16-bit signed integer value. The floating point number which was converted had a value greater than what could be represented by a 16-bit signed integer. This resulted in an Operand Error. The data conversion instructions (in Ada code) were not protected from causing an Operand Error, although other conversions of comparable variables in the same place in the code were protected.

The error occurred in a part of the software that only performs alignment of the strap-down inertial platform. This software module computes meaningful results only before lift-off. As soon as the launcher lifts off, this function serves no purpose."
I've not heard of Revolut so I'll look into them, thanks.

I had a look at Monzo before but there was (and still is) a huge waiting list.
You borrow massively to prop up employment and reflate asset markets. The Chinese government has plenty of scope to do this as they are well into the black, holding vast reserves of American treasuries. That gives them a massive war chest, and plenty of scope to assume equally large debts if needs be. They will buy economic stability in return for saddling future generations of Chinese with crippling debt. And it will work.

As duncanawoods says, that seems far too convenient. Is there some list available of which discussions have had the 'overheated discussion detector' turned off on them? Then we could see the number of PRO-YC vs ANTI-YC articles and see if a bias does in fact exist.
Monads are the way to hide the fact that state change. Basically they allow you to abstract away the concept of time.

Alan Kay seems to push more in the direction of data as CRDTs or fully vector clocked, so that time is just an additional way to referenced some data.

It is close to the idea of separating time from space or to combine them in two.

In CS, we tend to consider a static vision of the world, and a function applied to it. When the truth is that the world exist at different time and is wildly different at each of this time. So a piece of data would be defined by its place in memory and the clock time (vector clock) it was in that memory. Closer to what CRDTs does in a way.
Capitalism is really good for so many many countries... They are living the capitalist dream!

- Romania
- Georgia
(Almost all ex soviet republics are lingering as third world)
- Albania
- Greece
- Kazakstan, Uzbekistan
(The middle east countries are some of the poorest)
- ALL Africa

Also I can give you a list of some countries dying with socialism and socialist society:
- Norway
- China (They are richer than the US)
- Italy

What did you mean by "scientific"?

You'd have to hunt for a narrow reading s.t. the above holds — extant counterexamples aren't limited to any one branch.

Check it out² for yourself.

Further: cogsci's bayesian adoption is rapidly accelerating.

The replication crisis is brutalizing huge swathes of psych:

• loss of confidence in NHST is becoming near-total for many

• journals are purging in turn — e.g. BASP's p-value ban³⁴

• others are overhauling stats-in-psych entirely

J Math Psych alone has two recent special issues⁵⁶ on this.

I mean:

isn't even a strawman lately, let alone an absurdity.

In some fields, it's a battle-cry.

All that being said… re:

I wouldn't even go that far. Don't give em that.

Probability interpretation fundies

• are all wrong,

• narrow minds and waste lifespans with the cultism, and

• should at least learn of the other interpretations.

Pitching probability as a 1v1 isn't merely wrong-prime⁷ — it's doublepluswrong″⁸.

It's pseudofundamentalism: fundies uphold foundations.

Flamewars predicated on ignorance of the same gotta go, no matter how fashionable they may be.

Stick the reply on pastebin with a note explaining how it doesn't stop pedophiles and terrorists, explain how it protects incumbent pedophiles in the political class as per pizzagate, then post it on reddit, 4chan and to the opposition (actually forget the latter as they're just as bad).

Time is up for this attitude.
If you need minimal no-fuss, pay for what you use type of setup, you can use Amazon Lambda to proxy for you. Hook this up to FoxyProxy or something like this with some good rules and you will be on a good track in terms of your default browser.

That being said, VPN will be always better and it doesn't cost very much to set one up on DO.
Have a look at PureVPN also.
No worries – so did most of Britain. I believe the ECHR was a argument for Brexit.
Yeah I was curious about what level of detail will be recorded. According to the article: "The law forces internet service providers to keep a record of all the websites – not the actual pages – you visit for up to a year."

If they aren't recording the pages, I'd doubt they've be recording the ads embedded on the page.

But who knows, I imagine it's down to how the ISPs implement the legislation.
Actually, it is done by the willingness of the governed who think that through community resource sharing we can take care of each other. That is why the important stuff (medicine, education, protections) is free o almost free.
The exact quote is:

> I do not believe that it is reasonable to allow terrorists, paedophiles and criminals to be able to use these same services out of sight to perpetrate criminal acts which harm UK citizens.
I don't have anything to hide- but a malicious attacker could easily cause me to.

Step One: Maliciously cause the target to click on a link or open a url (Phishing, Exploit, RFE, XSS etc)

Step Two: With JS, one can easy introduce HTTP connections to any number of websites, such as maybe the Taliban's official website (They have one!), Google Searches for (to think of a few) "Gaziantep Places to Stay", "Turkey Flights", "Opposition to the Kuffar at home", "Dabiq Magazine", "how to join the Khalifah" etc

This could easily be done in a realisic appearing manner, especially to ISP/GCHQ filters and alerts.

Step Three: If any of this tallies with any physical activity (Let's say the target wanted to go Clay Pigeon Shooting, or Visited a Gun Club because he has in interest in .22 target shooting), then they have a case.

Sure, it's defendable, and this is a really simplistic example. But it's basically ruined the target's life.

Remember, it's probably not the "Government" doing this, as this info will be leaked.

> a state-sponsored effort to take technology and expertise from European companies and feed it into state-owned Chinese ones.

These were the terms of the deal between Western and Chinese governing "elite". The West's gamble was that the Chinese would not (could not) maintain their ideological stance when exposed to Western societal norms. The Chinese gamble was that they would catch up and reach technological parity while maintaining their hold on the Chinese nation. No use complaining about it now.
