That's true, but on the other hand I don't get any free vacation and have to pay for my own insurance.

Whether employed or self-employed, you're still financially much better off in the US.
This, exactly. AMP pages get in the way of sharing content – or at least in the way of being transparent about what you're sharing and where it's coming from.
I'd guess they'll be more interested in acqui-hiring you for demonstrated expertise than in buying your IP.

That'd be equivalent to Canada choosing to end free trade with the US after 2008.

It's the UKs largest aggregate trading partner by an enormous margin. They're cutting off their nose to spite their face and there will be significant economic consequences.

Is more sovereignty regarding immigrantion policy, etc, worth that cost? That's not for me to judge. But please, don't try to downplay the economic turmoil this will cause.
Schmidhuber cracks some hilarious jokes when he is on stage.

"The other day I gave a talk and there was just a single person in the audience, a young lady. I said young lady it's very embarrassing but apparently today I'm going to give this talk just to you. She said okay but please hurry I gotta clean up here."
True, at first. But then things may change.

On the other hand, they might want to eat us too, so be careful.

>As a ml researcher, I'd absolutely love to apply ml to Healthcare but the data simply isn't there. Big companies will never release the data.

The big-data regime isn't the only regime. Probabilistic models can encode doctors' prior knowledge and also be trained with only a few dozen data points.
I've been interested in application of ML to healthcare for nearly 20 years. In the early days, researchers just refused to share data; they were worried that you (using some fancy math or ML) would upstage them. I actually heard this first-hand from a faculty member.

Fast forward to today, and there is more openness. I did skim the paper mentioned here, but did not see any links to the actual data, which is a shame.
In general they’d get better bandwidth savings for the same quality and decode effort by shipping the higher-resolution image with more aggressive image compression (using http://bellard.org/bpg/ or something, not JPEG, and ideally running the decode in hardware). Seems like a dubious method overall.

The main impression I get is “woo! neural nets can do everything! let’s use them everywhere!”

I don’t believe their claim that this is “comparable or better than the state of the art” for image upscaling without much better evidence than they provide in their paper.
I don't believe the Clinton Foundation or public speaking business (which Bill also pursued) was built up out of nothing. What greater head-start could you get to begin building a public speaking business or foundation than to be either the former President or married to the world famous former President of the only superpower? The connections, the access to money and favors, the uber rich people (eg Wall Street) that want to buy your ear, it's beyond immense.
Air tools are far more field serviceable than electrical ones. Furthermore, if your gas engine dies you can fairly quickly rig up something with a horse and a treadmill to spin the compressor.

The most depressing part of it is that the HN community don't seem to care and will actively cheer it in many cases (walled garden IRC and cloud in general). The only reason we have an open internet at all is because techies cared back in the day.
You're right, I made too strong a claim.

However, I do think that many philosophers think that human psychology is by its nature ethically highly deficient, and the solution is philosophical argument. Take Plato and his allegory of the cave, for instance, or Kant's categorical imperative.
I hope the OP does realize that. Perhaps it's just the thought to put out a bot that scans twitter and sends such automated emails? The bot may take active effort to script, so there is at least some "hustling" going on.

There is a hint of irony to this. Many Koreans (especially the younger crowd) views Samsung-like chaebols with disdain not unlike many have towards Wall Street, and yet getting an offer from one of these companies is a dream come true.
You can't really rip the first part of this quote from the rest. The entire point of it is that the language does not exist on a pedestal worth defending. Everything about the language we use right now exists because of a gradual and occasionally sudden process of evolution where meanings shift and words occupy new niches and occasionally die.

Awesome, terrible, and fantastic all have meaning. They have as much meaning as they ever have. They have different meanings, and the broadening and shifting of their meanings has allowed people to communicate with more effectiveness and nuance.

There is no inherent value in words having "strong" (as in forceful) meanings. If people do not use them that way it's because they do not need them that way.
John McCarthy coined the term "artificial intelligence", so regardless of everything else, he at least fathered the term.

Most large Korean companies are family-owned or family-controlled, and most are corrupt. An unusually high percentage of the heads of these companies have criminal records for financial crimes, compared to other developed economies. For decades, presidents have frequently pardoned them -- and many other CEOs would be convicted of financial crimes if the government bothered to charge them.

Presidents of South Korea have often justified their pardons of criminal CEOs by stressing the consequences for the economy. Fortunately, those excuses are less widely accepted than they used to be. Besides, it's not healthy for an economy to be heavily dependent on a small number of family-controlled firms, whether they are corrupt or not. It's true that enforcing the law against those companies may cause a short-term economic downturn, but in the long term, the economy will have a more sustainable foundation.

Incidentally, the Korean term for these large conglomerates, chaebol, is cognate with the Japanese term zaibatsu, which dominated the pre-WWII Japanese economy and shared many characteristics, including family control and political and financial corruption. Japan was better off when they were broken up. Despite appearances, the current Japanese conglomerates are better than the zaibatsu in important ways: they are rarely family-controlled, and they are less corrupt, more accountable to shareholders, and have much better corporate governance as a result.

Some reform of the economy, and less tolerance for corruption among the voters, are likely to be the best things that comes out of the impeachment of the current president.

"An automation tax will reduce the inequality between owners of capital, who can buy robots, and those who cannot. "

It's an utterly and completely absurd idea.

There is no such thing as a 'robot automaton' for the most part anyhow.

Do you know Starbucks started using machines to make Capuccinos instead of having the baristas do the full work.

Does that count as a robot?

Does the new accounting software that requires less human input count as a robot?

Do the police traffic cameras count as robots?

What about airlines that used to have 4 crew in the cockpit but now only 2 due to advances in navigation?

Or the specialized 'domain search' tools for professions that save 1/2 their search time and therefore law/medical firms require less staffers?

Or the automated ticketing booths at the Airport?

Or the upgraded baggage handling machine that works twice as fast and requires less humans moving luggage?

Or the advanced comms/radar that means greater safety and 1/2 the air traffic control staff?

Can you imagine the legal hangaring over what constitutes 'automation'? And the lawsuits? And the cost?

This is part of the reason that the EU is in many ways a complete disaster. How utterly stupid.

There's an article today about France trying to recruit startups.

The moment you hire a few people, and use online services to do your taxes, instead of doing them yourself - do you have to 'assess' your workplace as having an 'automation' upgrade and then pay more taxes?

It's fantastically Orwellian.
> but people willing to buy such bikes are what creates financial support for bike thieves, since all stolen bikes sold meet that description

All stolen bikes also have two wheels. I guess buying a bike with two wheels also creates a market for stolen bikes?

This is ridiculous. No one without papers can sell a bike according to you. I get that bike theft is a problem but you don't solve it by blaming innocent people. A lot of legitimate bikes are sold without papers.
Report: Global VR Gaming Market to Jump 84% in 4 Years
I see your point but the UK is in a very different situation to Canada.

The US doesn't prevent Canada from trading freely with other major world nations.

While the UK remains locked within the EU, EU treaties prevent the UK from establishing its own free trade agreements with the rest of the World.

This prevents the UK trading freely with large, growing English-speaking nations like Canada, the US and India. The economic costs of this are are huge.

... except Valve ultimately came out with the better product and is selling twice as many (according to Tim Sweeney). Plus, the VR market is not zero sum right now. The extra investment and attention that Oculus has brought to the industry has almost certainly resulted in Vive selling more units, not fewer. And Steam is winning over Oculus Home, too. The people advocating technology sharing were right, in my view.

It'd be a relatively narrow window - it didn't affect RHEL 5/6/7 or the Ubuntu releases, so it'd need to be someone running a recent enough kernel to catch it but unmaintained enough to not push out the fixes.

Presuming this landed in 4.8 (guessing based on the kernels Debian listed fixes for versus not affected [1]), which came out in October 2016, that's 2 months of time when someone could have picked a stable release and gotten bitten by this.

update: it's actually even narrower, since it looks like those lines were added in a patch from November 3rd [2], so maybe a month.

Many Koreans do believe that the President of Samsung is more powerful than the president. Though the current president of Samsung is relatively new since his father had an unexpected stroke in 2014. The succession of power wasn't complete at the time so they had to pull some legal/financial gymnastics with some "help" of the president to keep control.

How to Recover Deleted Photos/Videos/Messages from WeChat on Android
I'm recently removed from that demo, and anecdotally can confirm this.

Facebook is where your relatives are, and Instagram is where your entire peer group is. Snapchat is where you can share with who you want (send private snaps to groups, and post stories to the public) while still seeing everyone's content. All while being reasonably confident that your photos/videos aren't being saved (or at least notified when they are, assuming somebody doesnt have an external camera ready).

All of that, plus the ads just feel fair. They exist, appear at the "right" times, and can easily be skipped if content isn't interesting.

I used to think snapchat was a fad. But as its evolved, I've become increasingly confident in their ability to stay relevant.

Edit: I didn't awknowledge your "no like count" point - also spot on. Only visible metric is views to your story, and that isn't public. Pressure to post something "amazing" just doesn't exist like other social networks.
>"I think the emphasis of this conversation is wrong," said Bezos. "You have a product so revolutionary, you'll have no problem selling it. The question is, are people going to be allowed to use it?"

Bezos and Jobs were right. Bicycles have been around since the 19th century and yet city planners are still struggling against mainstream political opinion to be able to set aside dedicated space for their use. If most cities currently only barely tolerate bicycles, the Segway was certainly dead on arrival.

I think Jobs' idea for starting small at universities was a bit better of an idea than Bezos' idea of starting in a small country. Davis California for example is the most bike friendly city in America (20% mode share). That would have been the perfect place to start.

I've seen ordinary users get frustrated with it, but they don't understand why. They don't know what AMP is, and they don't realize they are on an AMP page. For example, the URL bar says they are on Google but they are reading a Slate article. The web is already confusing enough, and AMP makes it worse. Many ordinary users think they are reading content from Google, like that famous CNN interview where a lady said, "I read it in Facebook"

Which leads to the question, why is google doing this? They, you, could easily promote AMP pages while not masking the real URL! The answer is simple, profits over what's best for users.

Edit: I just did a search to find the CNN interview I mentioned, copied the URL to share here, and look it's a google URL. WHY? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/trump-v...

Yep, AMP is what finally made me switch away from Google on my phone.
I don't see why you would care about voting rights in an index fund. But anyway, if you don't like such stocks, you should probably avoid index funds altogether. You have no control over what is in the index -- some indexes change frequently, and some index funds switch to different indexes.

Seems like government intervention is the problem -- specifically, occupational licensing. There is a huge barrier right now for ML-healthcare startups that already can provide better diagnoses than normal doctors in some cases (and at a fraction of the cost), but are at an impasse to license their technology to legally "practice medicine."

Companies that innovate through automation would ostensibly make more profits - which are taxed.

Companies pay taxes on labour - usually as a function of 'social security' and other things - a 'human' will engender social costs down the road into which taxes must be paid.

In Canada - the only payroll tax is basically that - social security. Somewhat similarly in the US.

On the continent - it's a little more.

The reason that the government taxes labour (before income tax) is because:

A) They can. And what gov. official doesn't want to get more tax revenue?

B) It's an easy tay to hide huge income taxes.

If the EU simply transferred all payroll taxes and simply rolled them into income taxes (which would be economically equivalent) - then income tax in most EU countries would be quite massive. Well over 60% in many cases. That doesn't 'seem' very competitive, does it. Also - when you get your paycheque today in France it has x% deducted - if there wasn't payroll tax then it would be much more deducted - and the 'emotinality' of it all would be much greater. Payroll taxes are a way to 'hide' high tax rates from the commoner.

It would be more transparent if EU countries just did away with payroll taxes and put it as part of income tax - then we'd have a better picture of what is going on.

Well, I'd hold it against you (well, unless I set the precedent by swearing first...) :)

In many professional settings (e.g. when in front of a client), where you may not be familiar with the social norms of those you're interacting with, the ability to effectively code switch is critical. I see that as part of basic professional judgement.

So, absolutely, with your co-workers, swear away if that's part of the culture.

But in a setting with someone unfamiliar? Like, say, an interview? Sorry buddy, but there's a lot of shops where that'll count against you.
I think you may be hearing something else and interpreting it as "ect." I also am from the US and have never once in my entire life heard this.
Do you have a source for this? Or can people chime in? I could see this for Google or FB which are known to pay pretty well, but is this really "typical"? And even for Google or FB, I imagine $200k would require that you include annual bonuses too.

Yea - I was inspired by seeing how well AMP worked on some sites and actually converted my entire blog to use AMP for every page. It's incredibly fast and I'm happy with it although I'm sure I could have achieved most of the results with some highly optimized CSS and HTML: http://dangoldin.com/

I don't see what the upside is to preventing founders to sell non-voting shares to the public. There are always other ways to raise capital with negotiated terms. The great thing about publicly traded companies is that it allows anyone to invest in a low cost standardized and liquid fashion. Onerous restrictions on the IPO market will just discourage IPOs in favor of other methods of raising capital where the gains are not available to smaller investors
I actually like the AMP pages. Aside from public radio sites and a handful of other sites, news pages are so full of ads and slow loading, especially on mobile, that they're unreadable.

With AMP I can actually read articles from my local newspaper or TV station.

I guess in this case, I see it as a win for fast loading pages with just the article I'm looking for. Using AMP is my way of fighting back against autoplaying video ads and click bait links mixed in with news.
There are even some people who argue that index funds will use their voting power to influence companies not to compete with other companies in the same index, which will lead to dysfunction in the market. Matt Levine on Bloomberg View mentions these arguments from time to time.
It's true. Google has AMP and Facebook has Instant Articles. They're both about keeping the content inside their walled gardens that they can both improve the performance of (especially on mobile) but I'm sure at some point use their own monetization solution.
