AI's aim is not to adopt poor strategies. It seeks to optimize, but the point is you can lead it to believe a point is global optimum, when in fact it is only local optimum.

As to your point about the EV, this is why collusion can work. By colluding over a long enough horizon, the AI can believe that the average expected value to be something that it is not. If only one individual feign a weakness and the rest do not, then the strategy doesn't work.
The same way they do it currently.

I'm in Shanghai as an exchange student and I get very different connection quality depending on whether I'm using the WLAN on campus (fast, some Google-owned services work even without VPN), using my mobile connection specifically catering to foreigners (4G, no noticeable slowdown with VPN) or the "citizen grade" connection at the flat I'm renting. I have observed speeds of 10 MiB/s connecting to servers on campus, but VPN is usually capped at 10 KiB/s.

Ironically, I was downloading a YouTube video overnight (using a VPN, of course) and after midnight the speed skyrocketed to breathtaking 200 KiB/s! No idea whether that has anything to do with this announcement.
I'm sure culture and income have an effect, but it doesn't seem remotely plausible that there is no discrimination against black-skinned people in the United States. It's a fantasy that people struggle to rationalize, but you have to close your eyes to so much that is obvious.

Just because culture and income have some effect doesn't mean that skin color doesn't have a large effect. We can ask 'what if' forever, bringing up endless objections, but it's just a form of propaganda (intentionally or not) and doesn't change the obvious facts.
Yep, and I appreciated that they included those quotes. While "sending data to China" is literally the same idea, it kinda implies more sinister than it is.
It will be hard for them to recover from this.
They will have to aggressively lower the prices to attract customers.
You could say the same the other way. A rainy day in a major city in a key state and Trump gets a better result.
Ironically we have a company memo a couple of weeks back advising all employees if traveling to the US to wipe all data on their laptops (Even paid for new SSD's), and download everything via the cloud when we arrive over VPN.

I think the guys and I just cleared out as much stuff as possible and then had to images on the server (clean) and (business).
What you should really do is learn the concepts of structured programming. Every language is just a notation on top of a fundamental programming construct. If you learn those instead, you'll know every language.

I recommend reading Exercises in Programming Style by Cristina Lopes as a good starting point.
> Why can't they just charge tv subscribers the whole amount

The secret is that there's no "whole amount", because that would imply the concept of "enough money". There's no such thing as "enough money".

I mean that entirely non-sarcastically; to the extent it doesn't go to cover their costs, it goes to increase their profit, which has no upper bound. If they've found a way to extract more money, they'll do it. They question then becomes "to what extent have they found a larger revenue stream, and to what extent have they obtained more money now by alienating customers and driving them to other services".
Linode/DO boxes are probably frontending the first part of the proxy chain. The output is probably not going to be a Linode or DO IP at the end.

Linode JP has decent routing to CN afaik.

Given that it's only somewhat directional, this would actually be useful for the common case that the AP sits in a corner of a one-story house. No sense sending all that RF energy outside, so direct it inside.
I find HBO shows equal or better in quality than the best Netflix shows. Westworld was fantastic. My wife and I just started watching The Young Pope. In a few months GoT and SV will be back on. HBO is learning from Netflix and coming out with some fantastic shows. I also like catching recent movies on HBO before they show up on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.

Of course, Netflix is well worth the subscription and if you don't watch a lot of TV, it has enough content to keep you entertained for a while. But I've noticed that I discuss HBO shows more with my friends/family than Netflix ones.
The one true product success metric
My current (rental) place has the router and AP in one corner of the apartment, so signal strength at the other end is terrible. Is there a better (cheap but effective) option than this?

Best practice is to not ask for permissions upon first page load - too many people will leave immediately.

Instead, ask for them when they are relevant - for location, maybe once they click the "From" box.

For notifications, build your own in-app message explaining why the user wants notifications. If they "Accept" your own box, show them the actual notification request.

Many people, especially HN users, will have ill-will against a site that immediately wants to send pop-ups to their browsers. It feels too much like spam, trying to catch unaware users. If you explain why first, it's less intrusive.
I'll take that as implying that the underrepresented groups are not victims of widespread discrimination. One really must struggle to believe - struggle to ignore what we all see in the world and struggle to disregard all the research.

The question I ask is: Why struggle? What is the motivation for denying these groups justice?

But to clarify one important point: Most discrimination is ignorance, IMHO, not intentional. People don't see their own cultural bias - e.g., instinctively trusting the person more like what they are already familiar with (which becomes self-fulfilling) - or overlook their advantages, such as the fact that the culture of their college and workplace are so natural to them that they don't even notice that there is a culture, but that it's alien and exclusive for others. They don't imagine what it's like to be the only woman or dark-skinned person in the room, all day every day, for the rest of their lives; never sure if it's going to cost you a promotion, a job, a client, etc.

> Trump lost the overall vote, and lost women's votes 54-41%.

I guess I don't see the point you're trying to make here.

The GP asked how Trump got elected. He overwhelmingly won white, Christian, middle-class (and above) families - a group that has felt left out of American politics for the past decade or so.
Well, shoot, do you have an address or phone number for the Soros protest fund? My friends and I all paid out of our own pockets to go to the march and it would be nice to get reimbursement or something.

This is great, but sometimes I think that python needs a new package manager from scratch instead of more tools trying to mix and mash a bunch of flawed tools together in a way that's palatable by most of us. Python packaging sucks, the whole lot of it. Maybe I'm just spoiled by rust and elixir, but setuptools, distutils, pip, ez_install, all of it is really subpar. But of course everything uses pypi and pip now, so it's not like any of it can actually be replaced. The state of package management in python makes me sad. I wish there was a good solution, but I just don't see it.

Edit: I don't mean to disparage projects like this and pipfile. Both are great efforts to bring the packaging interface in line with what's available in other languages, and might be the only way up and out of the current state of affairs.
To be fair, the FCC regulates both EIRP (4 W / 36 dBm) and max transmit power (1 W / 30 dBm). E.g. you can't just have a 34 dBm transmitter hooked up to a 2 dBi dipole.

It may be that the days of near-absolute public faith, trust and confidence in top shelf journalism brands such as the New York Times and CNN is over. In place of that we should try to teach people how to do their own research and how to think critically and objectively about the source of news and other content they consume. (Maybe that's too much to hope for.) Either way this trend presents continued opportunities for entrepreneurs as the barriers to entry for news content continue to decrease. In a couple decades I can see at least the possibility of the Huffington Post, Breitbart, and the New York Times all having the same level of credibility (with more or less support among different groups).
What a shame they're not coming out in those sorts of numbers to protest the wars going on all over the world, drone killings, mass surveillance and so on.
I'm more in favor of a federalist approach instead of specialized city states. Basically less federal oversight and more state oversight (besides maybe environmental stuff which crosses state lines, or give money to other states based on your carbon output). That way if you want to live in a euro-style social services high tax area you can move to Washington. Or if you want mixed go to New York. Market oriented people can go to Texas - for example. States can set up voluntary cross border zones so the regulations and taxation is more consistent for industries that are more disparate. Cross state trade wouldn't be regulated and federal law can focused on national security, foreign trade, currency, and tax collection.

That way if something does work better (like ending the drug war) in one state, there will be a ton of data to reference and eventually good ideas will be adopted by other states.

States like California are big enough to be their own small countries anyway.

This was basically the idea when the US was founded but the federal government has only grown and every 4yrs the presidency becomes more important and given responsibility for everything. So no wonder the exec branch is growing in power - the citizens keep expecting them to be responsible for everything. It'd also protect against Donald Trump's from happening, the whims of one man should never be so influential.
Facebook has been linked to depression[1] and, although I closed my account years ago, it was for the same reason. My hypothesis was different to the article (a token economy of friends and likes); regardless, it was a great choice.

Out of curiosity, what are you referring to? Go has great HTTP/2 support, and is enabled by default since 1.6. It doesn't depend on OpenSSL either, which is a big bonus in my book
I'm limiting it to political events centered on the candidates, almost all of which in the near lead-up to the election were focused on Hillary. And the only really close states were PA, MI and WI, all of which went to Trump by a sliver.

>[...] Five months into it and I was fully hooked. I had complete farmer empathy. I set a goal—some level, some league that seemed just on the edge of “enough.” Make it over that line and I’d pull the plug. What makes Clash of Clans so treacherous is that you are always building, sculpting. Five months of work is really five months of work. Each additional day of play makes it that much more difficult to abandon.

>As I got closer to my goal — that mythical league on the horizon — I felt the algorithms turn on me. I sensed they knew I had a goal, and they turned that goal into an unobtainable carrot. Was I being paranoid? Maybe. The last day I played, I played for ten hours straight. Play the game slowly, a few minutes a day over months, and the algorithms are insidious. Play the game in a manic burst, and suddenly the algorithms feel laid bare. I spent only $40 over those five months, but those last ten hours were grueling. The closer I got to the goal, the more the algorithm would knock me down, set me up with what appeared to be easy wins only to have me lose. Disheartened, I’d try again, this time beating someone against whom I should have lost. Over and over this continued. It was so perfectly tuned to my most primitive set of chemical desires that it was actually beautiful — a thing of beauty. I could feel it moving beneath the screen. Its tendrils and my neurons moving with an eerie synchronicity. But of course, the lock-step relationship was weighted heavily towards the house; just as victory was once again in sight, I was back to my position ten moves and an hour prior. Where did it end?

I believe these problems are a major problem for the society. There is far more and far easier opportunities to procrastinate than before, and the net result is that the quoted stuff above is what the people do instead of doing useful stuff. When before did you have a combined one-armed bandit and casino inside your pocket, and it was acceptable to regularly take break from your work -- heck, even middle of conversation with other people -- to visit one of those?

And then people talk like developing even more insidious casinos is the future of software industry, the thing where the VCs invest.

Economy should not grow for the sake of the ever larger GDP per capita number. I'm not advocating for planned economy, but it should matter what kind of things, including what kind of entertainment and other luxuries, are being produced.

Coming from a Linux/OSX world I had to port a library to Windows the other day. That used to be an utter nightmare with C or pre-C++11 codebases. I actually found it pretty painless. The only things I found annoying were the various syscalls and interacting with the crypto libraries (and you thought openssl was ugly...).

Modern C++ is pretty darn nice to work with. It's not a "safe" language by any means, but with good tooling, design, and a good static analyzer you can prevent the vast majority of memory bugs you'd run into with C. Plus the compilers are so mature you get great performance right out of the box.
I think many creative people can benefit from attempting to be more intentional and purposeful in how they move towards new ideas, learning, and inspiration.

It would appear you were the condescending troll based on your original post, and I'm glad to have put you in your place. Being outwardly rude does not make your arguments more compelling, and it usually signifies your frustration with your own inability to express yourself.

Educating yourself on the specifics would be a good first step, and not making assumptions about others that are irrelevant to the discussion would be another.

See this is the problem. Way too much groupthink nowadays. Do you honestly think Fox News is all fake? Hint: it's not.

I'm a lifelong democrat but here's where last November's events hit me even harder than most: I know we earned it.

We've been allowing CNN, MSNBC, etc to slam Trump left and right. Does he deserve it? Of course he does! The problem is they stand from an authority position with presumed partiality and they are absolutely biased. News flash folks: the giant cheeto is absolutely right about that. And they DO NOT get right 100% of the time, yet Fox News does the same thing and we slam them for it! It's absolute nonsense and it's how we got here. By being divided and pretending we aren't doing what our "enemy" is.

The MLK bust thing is a great example. The crowds? Not that it should even matter but the picture being passed around and paraded all over CNN and 10,000 memes everywhere was a picture taken BEFORE the inauguration got under way. Though I do not believe Trump had a bigger crowd than Obama, it was bigger than what CNN was showing you and making a big deal out of it.

These. Things. Matter.

There are so many simple examples, if you call Fox News fake you have to call all of them fake.

Brisbane, 10 days, AUD$3000 hangs Firefox and I had to crash out (50.1.0 x64 EME-free). It doesn't if I drop the price cap down to AUD$1500. It doesn't if I do the same search in Chrome, though the scrollbar becomes very small. Chrome reports that I'm able to search 589 destinations once it's done loading.

I suspect Firefox doesn't handle such a large number of results well.
You can't lead it to believe a point is an optimum, it's just responded to a bet size/check in isolation given the information it has. If you 'feign weakness' in a given spot it will just respond as optimally as possible to the bet size.

For example attempting to feign weakness by betting small in a spot where your entire range should bet large is not tricking the AI, it's just passing up on EV for the players, good players are not going to play poorly in hope of tricking the bot for future mythical EV gain.

Also, there is no 'colluding' in heads up poker.
My kid is still very young and still learning the very basics of reading/writing/arithmetic. So we reinforce/practice those at home. I've found that his motivation is higher when the stuff he learns at home matches the things he learning at school.

We also do a bunch of weekend activities with an educational aspect - from external events like Maker Fair and Science Expos, to taking apart the lawn mower to learn about engines.

We also have this fun ritual at bedtime where he can ask any question about anything and get a serious answer. Of course this is used to delay lights-out but it's one of the most valuable learning exercises (for parents too). At this age, almost everything can be made educational but the trick is to keep it fun.
