Right, just to clarify. You can have 0% corporate tax rate, you just have to recoup those taxes elsewhere.

And as corporations are benefiting from free education and healthcare they clearly should pay into that system too.

It doesn't look great on an android phone, though. And (possibly because of the missing viewport setting) I get crazy "let me zoom that for you" behaviour when I try to click on things.

Simplify the law, remove sheltering opportunities/loopholes, and lower rates?

Lower them to a point at which it isn't worth the cost to shield, and get more out of them than what we are losing to the sheltering.
Is there any semantic analysis? Is there any trend of people talking about these laptops to say "stay away from ..." ?
You could do with much less than 90% by targeting the worst offenders.

Well, if not for this being 2016, it would be the saddest news I've heard in a while, but this came within a week of Ron Glass dying, so I guess it's only the second-saddest news item this week alone.

I guess it'll still live on in Illumos and its distributions like SmartOS, OpenIndiana, etc., but still... Solaris brought the computing world so many innovations (NFS, ZFS, dtrace, etc.), and it's going to take a while for it to fully sink in that it's gone.
BeDataDriven | Junior Software Engineer | The Hague, Netherlands | ONSITE

BeDataDriven's ActivityInfo (https://www.activityinfo.org) powers a global
humanitarian response to crises and on-going development assistance in fifty
countries.

We are looking for a full-time, Junior Developer who can begin by handling
pressing bug fixes for users in Iraq, Syria, the Congo and elsewhere, and can
grow into leadership role over time.

ActivityInfo is a Java/GWT application running on Google AppEngine, so experience
with these technologies is a plus, but not required. The ability to interact directly
with users and customers, self-manage, and take on increasing responsibility is
valued above experience with a specific technology.

BeDataDriven is a small, self-funded company with big ambitions. We provide free
lunch (Dutch-style) and no shortage of technical challenges. Candidates of
all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, though you must already have permission
to work in the Netherlands.

Please send a CV and motivation letter to alex at bedatadriven dot com.
Those are separate issues: security experts would worry less about AV software hooking things if the AV developers were demonstrably following secure coding practices. Instead, they're generally shipping 90s-style C code and not following good practice like using sandboxing or other defense in depth measures, which is how you get things like a single exploit in a format decoder granting kernel access:

https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/how-to-compro...

Contrast with the kind of exploit chains usually required on securely-designed systems like iOS or modern apps like Chrome where they need to chain multiple exploits together to escape from the sandbox before being able to attack something else. The AV industry has earned that bad reputation by generally being unwilling to spend the money needed to apply modern practice.
> For most people, yes it does.

Examples?

> I suggest you uninstall Chrome if that is your view, it too will lead to a full system compromise in the future, I mean it will in the future yet again.

> The browser pretty much wins here too.

Chrome is tightly sandboxed; any exploit in Chrome is very unlikely to compromise your OS.
uh, you can begin to describe the amount of information. if someone grew up with sensory input limited to HD video meaning something like 6-10 GB/hour they would be handicapped versus other humans but not drastically so. In 6 years there are 52,560 hours. A large library, sure, but we already have all this digitized anyway.

I'm cutting a lot of corners, and the human substrate in which our brains are embedded is finicky - you can't just leave a toddler in a roomful of DVD's with food and get a fully functioning adult after 48 months of unsupervised training.

but it's not "can't even begin to describe the amount of information encoded there" either. 50,000 blue ray discs' worth oughta do it.

I'm not saying we've figured out any of the other stuff - it's just that computationally (horsepower) we're there; the later training set for unsupervised learning is also there; etc.

The missing parts might well seem insurmountable - but every result that shows AI performing at the level of a 2 or 3 year old is wonderful. This is it. This is beginning of the turning point. It can happen at any moment.

Someone at this very moment could be setting up a neural net that after 48 months of training can deduce its own status in the world, make novel and correct sentences, maintain a coherent world-view, and be trained on the entirety of the Internet at 10x the speed of adult brains. (The limit is 1,000,000x speed of adult brains - because the silicon substrate we're using today propagates signals literally a million times faster - today.)

We're there. It's all there. It's "just" 86,000,000,000 neurons (with 7k connections each) and 12 years of supervised training to get to the level of a 12-year-old. 3 pounds. 20 watts. This is happening. Amazon's and Google's server farms blow it out of the water computationally compared to a brain, today. we might not come up with the same architecture but what we are coming up with is making breathtaking progress.

------------

EDIT: I've been submitting too much, but I agree with JonnieCache's thoughts below. However, as a thought exercise there is no reason we couldn't train AI interactively, putting it in a VR room and literally talking to it and correcting it, etc, like a pet. Granted this is not a normal approach to take but since we're discussing the theoretical limitations you can certainly envision it. Obviously nobody is trying to do that - we're not trying to come up with sentience using an approach like this and have no idea what steps humans go through exactly to get there. But it's not computational power that keeps us from getting there - and we could be surprised at any time.
It was pure brilliance. They had a staff of only a handful of people and were able to compete against more money, resources, and people..and win.
I think that is the problem - learning what you see is flawed and shouldn't be the first step. If you look at Vilppu's drawing manual, or take the Fundamentals of Drawing class at Watts Atelier, and countless credible university courses, what you'll find is opposite of "learning what you see". I can understand that drawing a cube, cone, cylinder is very boring but so is learning chords or music theory in practicing Guitar.

That said, if one doesn't want to take drawing seriously and just want to have fun (See conflicting Amazon reviews on Betty's book), Betty's book perhaps is entertaining. I just have a problem with its popularity and will probably lead people into delusion that somehow they have managed to conquer the drawing. Drawing is hard.

I also lose respect for authors that despite of knowing nothing about the field or making any attempts to study/understand, they have the audacity to publish their own version of "how the brain works". It bothers me.
I love how a type safe memset that distinguished between size types and value types would have fixed your problem (with no run time overhead), but you take this a reason to do even more unsafe stuff that has dubious costs for dubious advantages.

And I cannot tell if you are serious, trolling or sarcastic, because I know people who think this way, think this way is a joke and think this way is the bane of their professional lives.
There are safety concerns when changing any recipe that will be preserved. The sugar in jams and jellies also acts as a preservative after they are opened.
Justin Schuh seems to be arguing that the issue isn't just hacky deep OS access. He's saying that AV companies follow poor security and stability practices in their software and are creating vulnerabilities.

There seems to be correlation. Causation is not yet proven.

In health and sciences that would be enough to prohibit certain activities. But when industry for the benefit of jobs, GDP, etc has its way it means continue as normal regardless of the warnings.

This is why we are nearing a climate crisis. I suppose it is a form of the tragedy of the commons.
In commodity analysis, I depend on the mere existence and cascading chain of trust descending from this exact NIST kilogram, or any other NIST mass standard that may come along.

This is a tremendous benefit even if I am not required to make my mass measurements anywhere near the level of precision which NIST is capable of itself discerning. My target for precision is simply to be measurably better than the next best operator. NIST gives a final reference against which the quality of measurement can be correctly judged.

I have personally certified many billions of dollars worth of cargo in a way which is traceable to the NIST mass standard in particular, more so than most other single-handed individuals by far. Naturally, I started early which was an unfair advantage, but I recognized the need for traceability to a primary unquestionable standard, especially when I'm advancing the underlying measurement technologies in ways which are not being published or would be difficult for less experienced operators to grasp. From an extreme viewpoint, the only alternative would be to otherwise rely on superstition.

Turns out, without knowing it, I have spent years focused on avoiding the kind of difficulties that Theranos appears to be involed in, with their emerging testing technology in their field of analysis.

I prefer my results to be traceable to NIST before they emerge from the lab.

Insurance companies have always gotten a lot more upset over a slightly incorrect result in my field compared to the field of routine blood work.

SumUp | Fullstack Javascript Engineer | Berlin | On-site, Visa | http://sumup.co.uk (or http://sumup.de if you speak German already!)

I am looking for someone who loves (or can learn to love ;)) JavaScript to join my team. Our fullstack position is frontend heavy, so it's also perfect for someone who is UI/UX-oriented but also wants to become better rounded. We are lovers of linux and tmux and vim, and it would be cool if you were too! Alternatively, if you're traditionally backend but want to see if the frontend is as cool as people say, this is a good chance to explore that!

You'll fit in perfectly to our team if:

- You not only love coding, but also take the time to reflect on the benefits and drawbacks of your tools, be they frameworks, languages, or processes.

- You strive for clean code, but also know how to make your "shortcuts" easy to delete in a crunch.

- You know what to test, why to test it, and how to write flexible tests that won't break with minor changes.

- You're comfortable with Linux and know how to get things done on the command line, including on remote servers.

- You have experience with or interest in Functional Programming techniques.

- You're not afraid to use Google or ask for help when something is beyond your grasp.

- You care about user interaction, usability, and of course – making the interface beautiful.

- In general, technology excites you and you strive to learn something on a daily basis!

I put a lot of effort into writing a comprehensive job ad that should give you a good idea of what we offer, and what we want to see in you, and what you would ACTUALLY be doing while working here. Please have a look and get in touch!

And it's not just breaking the actual code, it's breaking the standard communications and formats that all major browsers use.

I've personally seen HSTS, HPKP, HTTP2, TLS1.3 and more all get royally fucked by various AV programs. And that's just from doing tech support for my family.

I understand that if an AV wants to protect certain aspects they need to get access to it, but using these hacks, workarounds, and more to do it is not only unprofessional but both a security and usability nightmare.

It's also why the only AV i'll ever recommend will be Windows Defender. People like to complain that it doesn't "catch as much as the others", but at least it's not actively breaking shit.

The site was successful, but it doesn't look like it had a whole lot of potential for growth; more likely than not it already peaked and was losing steam due to an ever decreasing quality in submissions.
don't preemptively judge your reasoning/analysis as cynical—it's a descriptor that's used to prematurely attack critique and commentary on feel good stories. if you don't buy into the narrative, you're being too cynical, doubtful, against the startup ethos. this kind of growth hacker, startup marketing clique, "hey look at my aspirational experiment journey" thrives off the lack of warranted criticism it receives
Presumably you get some kind of bulk discount if you're storing 100PB.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Recursion is a startup with about 25 people, but we generate rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. ​We have literally millions of images from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. We’ve gotten more than $2M in multiple grants from the NIH, and last month closed a $13M series A led by Lux Capital. We’re using imaging experiments to turn human cell experiments into massive amounts of rich biological data so we can find treatments for many diseases as fast as possible.

Hiring:

* Software engineering: Full-stack Software Engineer - Front-end Software Engineer - Machine Learning Engineer

* Data science: Growing fast and looking for great people, but applications are offline this month while we improve hiring infrastructure.

http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers for more details and to apply. Applications go to me (CTO) and our lead engineers.

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor/extend visas, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US--we can’t handle the lottery at this stage.

Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software engineering: go, python, angular.js, react, javascript on aws and gce. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).

Exactly - the fact that the price is in acquihire territory is the real news. Playing it up as a 'success' is nothing more than marketing spin. The issue is, both AngelList and PH have a vested interest in letting people think that they made a great deal, so if sites like TC are going to talk it up as a 'genius move', they're certainly not going to say otherwise.
Awesome, thanks for the elaboration!
