Because children of that age (and younger) have two traits that will always trump logic:

1. Defiance (better described as a need to understand independence)

and

2. A lack of long-term thinking

When a child - who wishes to experience control - wants a cookie, a choice between a banana and an apple is untenable.

Be wary of interpretations that give you broad-reaching advice on how to essentially manipulate children. This - child psychology and help - is a huge industry; interpreting studies to fit a narrative is simple and rarely meets argument.
I don't understand the qualifier "in that situation": the user cannot determine what the "situation" may be at some point in the future.

I do use the fingerprint reader on my iPhone, and I believe that the fingerprint data is never sent to another device. Ever.

There are real problems to using the iPhone fingerprint with apps, in that the apps tells me it needs to store an encrypted version of my password on iCloud in order to enable fingerprint unlock. The Bad Guys could get my encrypted password and I might never know.

But I wouldn't have to change my fingerprint in that case.
It's strange that there is so much push back against foreign investment.

Rather than enact a bunch of projectionist policies, wouldn't it be better to just adapt to the investment in a way that benefits natives? After all, when foreign people want to buy something you have, that is called an export, and most people agree those are good for the economy.

If foreigners are investing in housing, local governments will receive a huge influx of tax income from property taxes. If there is no property tax, then now is the perfect time to add it (or the similar but more progressive land value tax) or increase it. The income from these taxes can be used to fund infrastructure, education, and reduce other taxes like consumption taxes.

The other thing to when demand for housing in your city is high, is to increase supply. Seattle is not full. The Seattle metropolitan area is 15,000 sq. km with a population of 3.7 million. To compare, the Tokyo metropolitan area is 13,500 sq km, with a population of 37 million. No idea about the accuracy, but this site showed that rents were more reasonable in Tokyo (which matches my own impressions): https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

If we are going to take legislative action anyway, instead of a bunch of protectionist policies that will create long lasting opportunities for arbitrage and market inefficiencies, why not just make taxes to help the people benefit from the foreign investment and let development happen to help reduce costs long term?
you are wrong. They've skipped out on parallax scrolling. So obviously there was a finite budget.
So what happens when foreign owners start voting in council elections?

At what point does foreign real estate ownership start affecting local politics?

If imposing a tax has no affect on, or only slows, foreign real estate investment, what do we suppose will be the long term outcomes?
I wouldn't describe the movie as involving time travel, but you could make a case that it involves retrocausation. That's definitely different than the story, and I don't really regard it as an improvement. I thought the movie was pretty good anyway, and I think it would have been hard to make a more faithful adaptation of the story. I'm happy they did as good a job as they did.

I think the push back comes from the fact that in many of these places, Government policies are very favorable to owners and investors. In California, for example, property taxes are extremely low, while sales and income taxes are the highest in the entire country. As domestic home ownership decreases, the domestic political support for such favorable policies will decrease as well. As California's home ownership rate decreases (and fiscal pressures increase), there's no doubt in my mind that proposition 13 will eventually come under attack and eventually be repealed. If property taxes were 3%, like in Texas, I don't think as many people would complain about absentee ownership since so much of the value flows back to the community each year.

Biometrics are in a really weird place as far as security goes.

For the average person who's more concerned about opportunistic theft of a device than a targeted attack I'd argue that biometrics are more secure because you can't have the equivalent of a shitty password.

It's funny that you think that they pay taxes.

>An unusually high number of Vancouver homeowners living in multi-million dollar neighbourhoods but reporting poverty-level incomes is a red flag that needs immediate government action, says NDP MLA David Eby.

>“The focus should be quite straightforward: are you paying your worldwide taxes inside British Columbia, or not?” Eby, who represents Vancouver-Point Grey, told reporters during a July 15 press conference.

>“If you’re not you should have to pay extra in order to pay for the public services that make this real estate so valuable: the environmental controls, the policing, the court system, the schools and the healthcare.”

http://www.metronews.ca/news/vancouver/2016/07/15/number-of-...

>Documents obtained by Eby also show 29 of those homeowners have also been able to take out a mortgage. “There’s a waitress that bought a $2.3 million property. And there was a casino dealer and a cashier who bought a $1.2 million property as well. Students, homemakers and waitresses, by definition, have very low or no incomes. Is this why MacKenzie Heights and other neighbourhoods throughout the Lower Mainland are reporting incredibly low incomes, despite real estate values being so high? Are the people purchasing these $1 million homes reporting poverty level incomes for tax purposes?”

I'd be fine with foreign buyers buying up all of the real estate if we taxed unoccupied residences heavily. As long as they're renting it to the local market, it's ok.
So you should have the ability to force other people how to use the house they paid for? Should I be able to tell you how to use your computer, phone, or car?
The failure of USG to fund secure alternatives to existing computer hardware and software is a black mark. I do not think it will be judged well by future historians of this era.
Yes and no. Yes, I'm aware of history.

But no, I'm not suggesting a return to city-states as they existed in the ancient world. Rural areas should not be uncivilized anarchistic backwaters, nor subjugated territories under the control of whichever city-state can maintain its grip on them. Cities are the drivers the world's wealth! But they depend on the countryside for food, energy and raw materials. The people that live there are few in number, but vital to the functioning of modern society.

The city-state of the future will be something we haven't done before.

They should consider becoming citizens if they want to get the same treatment as citizens in the country. Most countries have significant limitations on what non-citizens can purchase, try buying land in China.
Many of the really good software engineers I know are Russian. As in they grew up and were educated in Russia but they all end up working for U.S. companies. Russia is missing out on a lot of talent right in their back yard. If the government was a little more forward thinking and didn't try to stifle and control things so much who knows where they would be right now.

When Amazon and Microsoft go through the next inevitable downturn and housing prices take a hit then all of these investors will learn a painful lesson. I know a lot of young software developers who have moved to Seattle for job opportunities but not many of them want to stay long-term and are happy to explore jobs elsewhere. The there attitude seems very distinct from the Bay Area where people would love to stay - and tend to hang on as long as possible before grudgingly realizing they should move away.

ProProfs Knowledge Base Software
Seattle is a city built by it's people, they have created ideal conditions for home ownership by participating in building a peaceful, prosperous economy which respects individual rights. By having foreigners coming in and buying this 'society' up - beyond the first generation of land owners - they are penalised for having built their own country up, as they end up unable to afford to live in it, burning up valuable income into paying high rents and house prices. A tax is one of the best way to correct this imbalance, by charging the cost of enforcing individual rights to those who benefit from it.
Maybe I would. If the citizens of the country agree with it, then why not? Countries and demographics change.

Why should we be permanently beholden to borders decided by unjust wars of centuries past?
> A machine with a conscious (simulated) mind can feel wonderful on the first fine day of spring and grow depressed as winter sets in

No, that's a human perspective, based off our bodily needs for sun, air and nature. It's got nothing to do with conscious AI.

Instead of "consciousness", which is a slippery word, meaning many things to many people, with implications in neurology, physics, AI and religion, we should use the RL framework.

In reinforcement learning, you only need to define 3 things: perception, action and reward. They are clear cut, don't leave so much to interpretation and have direct applications in AI agents and robots; human brains use RL as well.

If we ask ourselves: can we make a general RL agent? Can we master perception, action selection and learning from sparse rewards? Well, it's a whole different game when put in these concrete terms. We don't get lost in qualia, dualism, monism, what it's like to be a bat, hard problem, and other armchair consciousness philosophy concepts.

Perception/action selection/reward is enough to describe consciousness.
> But people who go out of their way to defend the pointless use of bad typography on printed documents that are meant to be read are in no position to be making credible arguments in defense of the less obvious flaws in their standard practices.

Screenplays are not meant to be read, they're meant to be understood and produced. Your argument is akin to saying that blueprints are too complicated for the average person, therefore they should be changed. They're not meant to be understood by the average person, they're meant to be understood by industry professionals. Just because you find it less than readable doesn't make it so. Those of us who know what we're doing with it think it's just fine.

I'm sorry you don't find them easily readable, but they're really not meant for you.

You're technically correct, but there's no distinction between preferred and common at IPO and it's a fairly safe bet they won't go public below this valuation.
Not at all. When you put some words inside quotes, you're saying you want to talk about those words, without using them yourself. I can say, for example, that I've never heard anyone claim, "The sun is made of purple gumdrops," because that would be ridiculous. I know that the sun is actually made of hot gases, and you know that I know that.

The problem with SerLava's comment was that it put words in the author's mouth, not his punctuation.
Because that would ultimately discourage new construction. If you're an investor and you want to invest in a house to hopefully rent out (not keep empty just-in-case for yourself), then you have to factor in the risk of not being able to rent out the property. Having a tax if you fail to rent the house only increases the risk of failing to rent, and thus, makes investing in real estate more risky. Pro-development policies need investment to be less risky, not more risky.

> So you should have the ability to force other people how to use the house they paid for?

This already happens.
In much of the US you can't use your house as a storefront for a retail business or for heavy manufacturing, for instance.
Housing/communities should reflect the principles of the people that live there and benefit the local community as a whole, not just serve as a wealth store for people in economically unstable countries.

> Should I be able to tell you how to use your computer, phone, or car?

Yeah you already do (by proxy).
Automobiles are among the most regulated property in existence, and its a crime for instance to use a computer to illegally obtain access to someone else's computer.

Its not as simple as money in, progress out. Nations have unlimited money because they can print as much as they want, inflation aside. If their workforce can't do something, no amount of money will make it happen. Further there are forms of government in place that will limit the ability of the world to achieve goals. This is because many governments around the world will likely just take whatever excess profits arise out of any extra effort and people will have no profit motive to change the status quo. Most research IS motivated by military applications so defunding that would probably kill a lot of progress in space travel, health care, etc.
The Earning Power of Philosophy Majors
Should I be able to tell you how to use your computer, phone, or car?

No. Land is different from all of those other things. We can always make millions more cars, phones, and computers. We can't make millions of additional housing units in economically important cities like San Francisco, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, etc. So it behooves us to make sure that housing in those places is being used efficiently instead of sitting vacant. That's all there is to it.
It depends on the accent; I certainly say "input" and "incredible" with an n sound.
Wow! Given that many citizens in California would like to destroy Prop 13, that sure is an interesting way to approach killing it.
It's a little different as land is finite, I could own 100 phones, it would not change your option to buy one, if I bought 100 houses in your town, you might have to move. Here in the UK for example, crucial support staff, teachers, nurses, policeman, are paid by the state, they are having to move further from their place of work to find affordable housing, so they commute further and its hard for organisations to be reactive as staff need to be on site, not on call, which costs all of us more taxes, so I think if you buy a house, you 'rent' a piece of the land from the sovereign entity that protects residents, if you are not utilising it you are a burden.
I google bumped into this article a few months ago when I was trying to understand Zero Knowledge, so it was quite surprising (in a good way) to see this come up in HN today. Thanks.

Took me a while to understand the point of the time machine/simulation and verifier, which in a roundabout (to me!) way led to the conclusion that only the verifier could verify the ZKP and yet not leak information to others.

If anybody has an even-clearer explanation, I'm all ears!
Weird questions. No one is forcing anyone how they use the house. A buyer tax on the house is not a "how to use".

And yes, we have all sorts of laws how to use a car, (and yes even computers and phone come with laws limiting certain uses that can harm others).
