Not sure if you were at Google in 2009 when this question came up in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, but the answer is that opportunities are discontinuous. Economics in the real world doesn't work like "spend $x, make $y = $2x" in any sort of high-tech industry. Rather, it's "wait 10 years for the appropriate technology to be developed, spend whatever it takes to acquire it, then you have the opportunity to spend $x for the chance to make $100x". The gating factor is the development of the technology itself, which is unpredictable and depends upon certain intuitive leaps of faith by many, many researchers, sometimes working in concert and sometimes just exchanging ideas by chance.

Holding large cash reserves gives these big companies a chance to pounce when an opportunity does present itself. That's also why prices for genuine innovation tend to be kinda insane. It's a market with one seller and max 3-4 buyers, so not exactly competitive.
The risks seem to be of a different and rather less tolerable form though:

"Review studies suggest that LSD likely plays a role in precipitating the onset of acute psychosis in previously healthy individuals with an increased likelihood in individuals who have a family history of schizophrenia."

Like, being mentally fine, then taking LSD and having that precipitate acute psychosis seems like a rather terrible downside tail risk, even if it's statistically very rare.
Please add an issue with any reference and ideas for doing this. I would love PRs too.

It's not all about looking cool, it's about coming up with algorithms that are computable in a reasonable amount of time while also behaving as similarly as it is possible to interactions of objects in the real world.

Faking physics is a mastery. Trade-offs are unavoidable.
This is really only an issue for neurotic over-educated upper-middle class Westerners. Everyone else just gets on with their lives and ignores this nonsense about anxiety and dread.
Estimating the Birthday Paradox Cutoff
I fully agree with your point, but especially for the specific example you've raised, I think there are some very difficult complications that arise from the (lack of an effective) current global governance model.

For instance, regulations are mostly only effective if they're enforceable. With fishing taking place largely in international waters, and as I understand it, enforcement falling upon the coast-guard-equivalent of whichever country's flag the boat is flying, enforcement would be very difficult.

As far as implementing better regulations, any single nation implementing the good regulations would effectively be putting their own industry at an economic disadvantage (and by extension, their citizens who must pay for the more limited supply) compared to the more lax nations.

We see this with the global climate change debate too; basically every single nation needs to agree at the same time for global progress to be made.

Edit: clarified the first sentence.
I misread your question, my apologies.
At a quick glance (and a very quick one at that), Streisand's OpenVPN setup is configured to work on both TCP and UDP ports, where as the references project is being templated from [https://github.com/Stouts/Stouts.openvpn/tree/9c83736608e4cc...].
Looking at the linked project's setup, it seems it's using outdated configurations for OpenVPN (BF-CBC instead of AES-CBC, 1024 bit keys instead of 2048) [https://github.com/Stouts/Stouts.openvpn/blob/9c83736608e4cc...]. It's also configured to log info where as Streisand tries its best not to.
AKA Genuine People Personalities as predicted in Hitchhiker's Guide.
And as others said before, Monero does some sketchy weak mixing of something like a 100 tx, which is really not enough for long term anonymity (think what happens when the other 99 outputs are spent). EDIT: there are a couple papers linked in a child comment that seem to analyze this which I haven't read entirely yet; the following two points still stand.

You don't need an exchange to use z-addresses, just receive into a one-use t, and then make it disappear into your main z-address yourself.

Finally, you have to trust that AT LEAST ONE won't collude, because you need all pieces to fake Zcash, which is very different.

Enough with this FUD. It's innovative tech, I expected HN to appreciate it more than the usual cryptocurrency circles.
>if each driver is making the optimal self-interested decision as to which route is quickest, a shortcut could be chosen too often for drivers to have the shortest travel times

Does this just mean people are making bad decisions based on incomplete information?

For example, would this still be a problem if everyone was using Google Maps routing which changes routes based on congestion patterns?
I think part of the problem is that the parallels between Rosa Parks and Travis Kalanick are not as obvious to everyone as they are to you.
"Clearly you can always shoot yourself in the foot if your language is expressive enough (like any Turing-complete language)."

This is a common misunderstanding of being Turing complete. A program running in an interpreter isn't unsafe just because the programming language and the interpreter are Turing complete. Being Turing complete doesn't mean being able to gain root access, overwrite the boot block, scribble on the hard drive, etc.
Attachment theory is having a breakout moment
This applies even with perfect information, as long as drivers are completely selfish.
It generates screenshots with smaller file size and has an option to add delay before taking screenshots. I used it for a side project[1], but it would randomly die with segfault.

Having studied both topics (just coursework), I don't think so.
It does seem to pick up on the specific cases where adding "the" isn't right, like:

Sure. I once took a course on modern Iranian history that had us read Khomeini's "Islamic Government." But that's very different from how the book would be studied in an Iranian seminary. A historical look is interested in how something ties into the surrounding history, and doesn't pass judgement on the quality of the writing or spend time trying to determine its soundness.
I may have to fork the Stouts.openvpn role.

I also am not pleased that their easy-rsa tarball is not easily auditable rather than pulling it as a subrepository directly from OpenVPN.

edit: I have audited the easy-rsa tarball. It's still not a totally appropriate way to manage things.
I feel projects like this should say e.g. "…via QtWebKit", since "WebKit" is more of a family of web engines. It's even more important in the case of QtWebKit since it's not being updated.
See, I'm okay with that, too - if you want to spend your life spending money on yourself, fuck it - it's your money. Just don't whine about how awful it is taking a first class flight from Paris to have Thanksgiving with your family in Virginia and having to put up with ten minutes of grandma inquiring if you've met anyone special yet.
I recently bought a Samsung KS8000 55" for a monitor, and I have to say it is incredible. Going back to standard monitors at work was painful. There is so much space to arrange windows and nothing has to be stacked.
I agree about not extending observations to where this hasn't been tested. The article noted, however, that this same behavior has been observed in monkeys so perhaps it's more prevalant than we think.
A large developed country with 300 million people is going to be a target for relocation, but I've most certainly seen a very substantial change that does not benefit the US.

There's more people doing startups in their home country. More SV companies running satellite offices outside of the US to court talent that is unwilling to move to the US. More countries that are seeing the value of a strong software industry acting accordingly.

Not all of it has to be Valley-style startups funded by venture capital. There's a lot of traditional industries that don't need that funding model that are realizing that most talent doesn't actually live in California.

By now I know of many cases of people who have moved from SF after being courted through visas who moved back home or to offices in the EU, and many PhD candidates who ended up going to France, Switzerland, Germany and Spain to complete their PhDs, where the academic environment lends itself to a better work-life balance and high quality of contributions.

Mind you, this mostly applies to immigrants from Latin America, who have goals that may be different from Asians and Europeans. Still makes it a relevant observation.
But in this case, as the eye can't discern any difference (at reasonable distances) - it really is ?

I don't get why there is this push - pixels sell I guess.
The cable is a cable. Doesn't really matter what the port is, as long as the two can communicate. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that USB two (which is what I'm guessing that uses) is not gonna be lost anytime soon through lack of backwards compatibility.
"Every type system eliminates all its own type errors by definition."

Nonsense. C/C++ will happily produce a warning, if you specified -Wall, that you violated a type constraint and then go ahead and compile your program. To suggest that such violations are part of C's type system is to pedantically and willfully miss the point.
I like the analogy to de-noising autoencoders; that's a good way of thinking about this.

> In the limit, you might even have a neural network generate increasingly harder types of grammatical corruptions, with the goal of "fooling" the corrector network.

Very interesting. I wonder how many constraints would need to be added to the corruptor model to ensure the corrupted sentence retains the same meaning as the original. Somewhat related to that, I've thought that a more basic curriculum learning setup could be deployed quite effectively here, and am hoping to try that out soon.
No, that's you.
Predictions from Silicon Valley's Top Tech Leaders for 2017
I also trust Monero more.

Both Zcash and Monero (plus perhaps Dash, but it has some issues) try to augment Bitcoin with some privacy guarantees.

Ethereum is extending Bitcoin with Turing-completeness.

I follow Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero with interest. I wonder whether any of these additional features will prove advantageous enough to surpass Bitcoin, which is more mature and has much bigger market cap right now.

IMHO, Bitcoin is secure enough for its current main use-case, which seems to be escaping Yuan / Bolivar. But I might be proven wrong. It's also interesting to note some other black swans may trigger cryptocurrency adoption in 2017 [1].

Ethereum seems advantageous for many business applications which are impossible with a traditional blockchain, but they really need to ensure Turing completeness doesn't lead to more fiascos. Perhaps by enforcing much much better static analysis than currently available [2]. You can err on the safe side and reject contracts that don't pass whatever static analysis. Seems the only way to retain Turing-completeness and safety.

However, given EVM semantics is complicated, perhaps a redesign will be needed so that static analysis does not rule most contracts as potentially unsafe.

I do not think the issue here is so much how good the question is, as what it does to the notion that studying literature teaches critical thinking.

It seems to me that there are two ways this can go, neither of them good:

1. The education board's interpretation effectively becomes canonical. While I have some appreciation for the idea that the author's view is not the only one that counts, substituting precisely one alternative does not strike me as having any legitimacy.

2. Students are imbued with the idea that any answer is as good as any other, so long as it looks like critical thinking. That does not transfer well to any area where critical thinking has to deal with some form of reality.
Or, make all that $$$ yourself by starting an ad exchange for cannabis-related websites.

Beware: banking will be really hard. You need to accept money from ad buyers, and forward most of it to ad sellers. Most of the ad buyers are doing things that are illegal under federal law, so banks won't deal with them. They might have suitcases full of cash, but it's hard for them or you to turn that into ACH deposits for the ad sellers.

That problem may be solvable, just a heads up that it won't be easy.

Now I'm trying to think of other Disney leads of either sex without a love interest... is there one? Other than those for whom it's not really applicable (ones who are too young, mostly).

>Attack the business models of companies who produce content we find offensive, politically incorrect, or don't align with our world view -- yet are still protected under the first amendment.

>Just because it is a different point of view does not make it fake or hateful or undeserving of ad dollars.

Without quibbling over whether some of their content is hateful (I think it is; you disagree), what's wrong with letting the free market de-value ads run on their network? What's wrong with attacking their business model? Companies don't have to run ads next to headlines like "Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?" That's the free market at work.
I gave up PC gaming to spend time out of my office. 4k TVs seem pretty sweet for coding and terms.

This is certainly a Google press release. On a meta level, what I find interesting is that when Tesla makes what is also basically a press release, few point that out. People just take at face value Tesla's pre-recorded demo videos, etc.
"but its usually clear to the programmer when they are doing something dangerous"

Um, no. Every pointer is fundamentally unsafe, and a lot of C++ code is written with pointers through and through.
Those quotes are not attributed; it's unclear why they are there. The same phrase does not appear quoted in the headline. Since WaPo doesn't shy from using quotes in headlines -- I just counted 3 instances on their homepage --, it seems fair to attribute it to the paper.
Keeping grudges: Let grudges go - they are pointless and eat up a lot of your time and attention.
> As it is, most new cars are already drive-by-wire meaning that a hack of the car gives the attacker full control already.

I don't think that's fully the case; you can't tell most modern cars to swerve sharply to the left. You can also still turn off the majority of cars by turning the key. (And of course, for manual cars you can put the transmission into neutral.)
Yeah exactly -- it's a condom rather than an enigma machine.

The best cheap lidar for indoor robots, and limited outdoor is built by microsoft, called "kinect". Beats the pants of any lidar that existed in 2005 that cost less than $100k, except on range.

Comes with open source libraries and is a pretty great piece of equipment for indoor navigation.

easy-rsa 3 has saner defaults, especially how it configures OpenSSL, so if you fork that would be a good place to start.
How's that work? Is the idea that an individual driver would have to take a penalty in order for everyone else to have better road use?

(Also, is this specified somewhere? It seems like the paradox relies on people making their minds up ahead of time (hence imperfect information) and then not changing their minds halfway.)
Is ANet making this data publicly available? Is it per-account? I'm just curious, as last i played there was no realistic way to implement this sort of feature.

It was heavily desired though, so i'm sure the community will love it. Grats!
That's very specific to the cannabinoid THC. There are countless other healing cannabinoids that have no psychedelic or impairing effect, e.g. CBD, which is at this time probably the most studied non-THC cannabinoid.
Not just wealthier [1], but also younger and more urban. People who have 25 mile commutes from the suburbs--even very wealthy suburbs--are more likely to own cars and less likely to use Uber.

[1] In cities with good public transit (e.g., Boston, NYC), uber can seem more like a luxury but in cities that are very car centric (e.g., Detroit, Miami), Uber is actually cheaper than owning a car for many people. I live in Miami and use UberPool all the time and I meet people from all walks of life. Car insurance here is very expensive, so for a lot of people, using Uber saves them money.
There were legitimately exactly 10,000. The anarchist in me took out 15.
> If you're not sure if your thing is usable, find someone who you can watch use it in person.

If you can't find someone to use it in person, you can get user experience feedback with a session recording tool. I am the author of such software, which you can find at http://screensquid.com.
Exactly. In other words, in order to globally optimize for throughput, you would have to deoptimize some people's routes.
Similar setup here, I've got a 40" 4k Samsung HDTV to deliver a similar DPI to a 27" 1440p monitor. It's cheaper and more effective than 4 1080p monitors and awesome for games.
This project aims to "do one thing and do it well".

I posted this elsewhere but it bears repeating. This project is designed to be simple, auditable, and disposable, and have the minimum attack surface and maintenance costs.

Other tools are great, but the cost of swapping certificates and IP addresses and zone files can weigh you down.

Streisand would do well to have numerous playbooks that remix roles for smaller services (if they don't already).
I have dealt with some Israeli tech companies, and those guys know what they are doing. This is just the beginning. The tech scene there is absolutely booming.

There isn't much of a global governance model currently. The United Nations does a bit, but for the most part it's just anarchy between nations. Thus, it's really hard to get them to cooperate when the incentives push them to defect.
There already is one that I'm using: http://www.mantisadnetwork.com/

It just doesn't pay that much, honestly. Even they seem to restrict what they show (e.g. haven't seen flowers/edibles sold directly yet).
Great to see. I think the previous high-water mark was the IBM T221 IPS Display (3840x2400), sold between 2001 and 2005, which was also fairly expensive as I recall.
Without a more cross-cultural study this falls more into the domain of cultural bias (still interesting) than what the title suggests. I'd love to see what the results look like incorporating data from cultures whose musical traditions are rhythmically complex and better documented. Godfried Toussaint's work on Euclidean Rhythms (http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/publications/banff.pdf) makes for a pretty convincing survey of "evenly spaced" beat distribution, albeit sometimes over uneven lengths. This doesn't even get into things like the polyrhythm and syncopation in much African music or the complex rhythmic cycles found in Indian percussion.
It's definitely an Art form, but if you look in IMDB, there's no cinematographer listed. That function is "visual effects".

Well of course there's selection bias, but it doesn't affect this use case because cities already concentrate all their transportation efforts on the wealthiest areas first. How it may affect things is that traffic may get redirected to new areas the way Waze caused suburban neighborhoods in LA to become flooded with speeding rush hour traffic.

There are countries where Apple cannot legally open a retail store. They go through tie ups and partnerships with local companies to setup stores and sell their products.
For example, in India - every major city probably has at least 4-5 "Apple Stores" which are not fully owned by Apple and thus probably don't factor into these stats.
A couple of things:

1. It's your life, live it in a way that you will be satisfied with on your death bed.

I brought up this POV, because I see lots of people making the decision to have (or not have) children based on how it affects them. To my mind, though, the more important consideration is the fact that not having children denies life to other humans. Your own children, no less.

I understand that this is a stark way to view things, by it's also, you know, the truth. And I think people should walk into major life decisions with both eyes wide open.

2. My point is not really about survival of the species. It's more about the moral issue of denying life to other humans.
Because people buy pre-assembled computers and Intel with its "Intel inside" had made it so that consumers will pay more if Intel is inside. Not sure if people will pay more for the same car with Google's sensor.
Even after months with the glorious panel in the LG and using the 15" retina as second display, going back to big ole' country pixels was almost a price I was willing to pay for ultrawide. I think the 2 x 28"s is the right choice for me, but only by a gnat's dick.

If I could have beaten my Mac into driving the LG at a non-2x scale, I'd have kept with it, it's such a nice panel. But now it's on my Win 10 box, which supports it perfectly; that was a very pleasant surprise.
