Honestly, I'm not sure why there aren't calls to boycott the US airline system until this sort of thing is put to a stop.

I'm horrified by Trump, but see this as just one step in a direction things have been headed for years.

I doubt anything will change it until people speak with their wallets because that seems to be the only thing that gets the attention of those in power anymore.

> Assuming you and your users are okay with pushing an 'okay I'm willing to sacrifice some battery life for this' button

This is the fundamental difference in philosophies behind Android and iOS.

Apple likes to build their software (most of the time) like Python - its an opinionated platform that strives to make that best decisions for users. They've determined there's very little user benefit from having multiple push notification services, and they don't want to give users a way to shoot themselves in the foot by enabling such a setting that would impact battery life like that.

Many of Apple's decisions can be viewed through that lense.
Unfortunately this fails to impress me, merely because you could theoretically build a terrible AI and still win.
In what way is Tulsi Gabbard a good person? She's a supporter of Bashar al-Assad.
I written elsewhere that I don't see any distinction between libertarians and conservatives. Rather I see libertarianism as a flag of convenience, a pose. Gary Johnson was a Republican governor and ran in the 2012 Republican primary before running as a Libertarian in the general. Bob Barr was a Republican congressman and House manager of the Clinton impeachment trial; he is a Republican again today; he supported Trump. Ron Paul retired as a Republican.

Zero difference. At best the LP serves as a safe and convenient parking place for quasi-protest votes.

If it's just 50% away from profitability with the ridiculously cheap cost of electricity in California and the US in general, it will do just fine for vast swaths of the developed world.

Not to mention that the edge of profitability probably isn't so much determined by the consumer price of electricity, but the sources that feed a countries grid. Lots of renewables with huge output swings (Germany) versus full nuclear (France).
"While surfing on Facebook, Google, Amazon, iTunes or on most Web sites, most people don’t realize the traces of information they leave behind.... The purpose of this article is to alert you to this risk...and to help you find ways to protect your privacy as you surf the Internet."

Author Daniel Dubois includes a list of practical tools, along with links to his recommendations.
"Banning people based on their religion, ..."

The ban is based upon country. Muslims in general aren't being banned, otherwise travelers from countries such as Indonesia would be affected. They aren't.

"...canceling visas that have already been granted, ..."

If the visa has been granted to somebody from a country to which the immigration halt is applied, or otherwise is now subject to additional background checks that were not applied when the visa was granted, then the United States Government certainly has the right to revoke or otherwise suspend the visa.

This may be rude and it may be inconvenient, but it's hardly a violation of human rights. It certainly isn't unconstitutional.

"...firing reasonable dissenters rather than working with them, ..."

That oft-quoted "one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist" comes to mind here. What constitutes "reasonable"? If your boss tells you to do something, you do it. Or you resign. Or you get fired.

What if your boss told you to do something illegal? At the time, your options are identical: do what you were told, resign, or get fired. In due time, if you chose one of the latter options and your boss truly was breaking the law, you will be revealed to have taken the superior moral position.

We have yet to see if that is the case anywhere. If it turns out that way, it will harm Trump. I suspect, however, that if the appropriate courts rule in Trump's favor we will either not hear of it at all or it will be dismissed as judicial activism.

"... discriminating against LGBTQ folks, ..."

The White House affirmed today (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/30/us/politics/obama-trump-p...) that LGBTQ protections enacted under the Obama Administration will stay in place.

"...destroying access to women's health care, ..."

There's no such thing.

An algorithm playing straight hand value based on probabilities is more susceptible to bluffing, not less. And this is no limit, where a single hand can swing all the chips.

Any poker AI that isn't a loser is going to have some pretty sophisticated modeling of the opponent.
A Scientists’ March on Washington Is a Bad Idea
Yeah, people get overly hung up on the monopoly term. Back when antitrust was formed, it was aimed at trust busting. Meaning that several big names of a market would come together and decide how the market would operate, rather than compete.

And i do believe Apple has gotten a slap or two on the wrist for abusing their hold on content distribution. Ebook pricing for instance.
But inside the womb they're not people yet.
The title of the piece is slightly misleading. It's really more like: Roundup of startup advice based on one person's journey. There's decent advice, but it's not really structured to support the title, which would seem to require a few counterexamples of ruin.
Just showing your ignorance. That margin of victory over that many hands isn't luck or coincidence. The pros were absolutely dominated.
That wasn't really an AI failure:

Beware that the title is highly misleading. They apparently helped to arrange the flight of Franco from Las Palmas to Morocco to start the war, but this step was just the culmination of a long conspiracy to overthrow the Republican government, which Franco himself only joined towards the end, when the coup was certain.

It would have happened anyway, these guys just helped providing that particular flight. If not for them, the conspirators would had chartered someone else's plane or boat.
It sounds socialist because it is textbook socialism.

Your assertion that value, wealth, and prosperity are created through the hard work and sacrifice by business owners is of course disputed by socialists. You're begging the question here. If you stipulate that value in society is created by the very process that socialists want to dismantle, then of course being a socialist is irrational. No real conversation can be had when you define socialism to be irrational from the outset.

Further evidence that no real conversation can be had follows from your dismissive "sorry pal, surface-level idealism" remark. Why are you so snide and dismissive? Do you think it helps your credibility? (It doesn't.)

Socialists argue that value is created by all working people, most of whom are not in it for the profit incentive. Value in society is created by teachers, whom get paid poorly. By PhD students, who get paid poorly. By parents who raise their children well for no compensation at all. By all the millions of people who get to work every day and don't get compensated handsomely for the effort. If there are so many people willing to work hard and sacrifice for the good of society without any chance of striking it rich, why should business owners be the exception? That's the fundamental question socialists ask. And there are no snide answers to this question that are remotely satisfying.
Thank you! Yeh, we've been consistently asking customers what works for them over the two or so years we've been running. We found that a lot of people get stuck very quickly with the free online courses that are out there, and they wanted to create sites from scratch rather than learning about HTML, CSS and Javascript – it's a very slight difference, practical vs theory.

We've found that the 1:1 help informs the course material too - if we get the same request topics in the 1:1 help, it's obvious we're missing something from the course material, so we add it in.
I try not to let the anti-vaxxers, hippies, or the Hollywood stars brand whole areas, or my experience in San Francisco in 1988 with a broken down car and told to go find a tow truck.

"a lot of education but who have an active antipathy to it."

An yet, I live with people who cherish it right here in rural America. Parents sacrificed to get kids in college. Doctors are listened to (yep, get your shots).

Its ok, really. It is socially acceptable to degrade and demonize all us NFL & MMA watching morons. You can feel superior based on one story, and frankly, most in these parts don't go in for the trouble to correct you. Its not like TV treats people much better.

The funny part is the little digs. The NYT article[1] on TV shows by region claimed folks in rural American liked "Walking Dead" because it is "for people worried about immigration". I'm more thinking that its a fun show and frankly most people here can imagine there survival a lot more than those goofballs in the show.

Oh well. As the graphic floating around Twitter said "you spent 8 years weaponizing the federal government" then you get this.

I guess, I ask if someone had the same story about say, a racial group, would you be passing it along on a board like this as an example of why "uneducated X" would be true?

Or... you could just not read the book.

> get it for free, and give the author money some other way

The amount of people who torrent a book/movie/show and then find a way to 'pay the creator' is so small as to be a fantasy.

> the buying behaviors of 'millennials' ... are probably a total mystery to you.

Aw... I like how you decide to change your selfish behaviour into a patronising statement. The distributor, whom the author has made a deal with, is 'taking massive profit they don't deserve', meanwhile you have no qualms not holding up your end of the bargain in coughing up some dough.

I have no real problem with this if people are being honest. Fuck, I spent the first few years of my adult life playing ridiculous amounts of cracked games for the Amiga. But to phrase it as some sort of social justice, that's just twisted and morally vacuous. If you want to be moral, don't consume the media. Otherwise, don't pretend that you're some sort of virtuous underdog.

As for the patronising "you don't understand millenials", perhaps you forget that we older folks (I'm an X-er) have been through our early 20s as well, and know what it's like to raise our defiant fists against "the man". You're not something special and new in the world. Each generation is a little different, but the basic patterns remain the same.
> locally compiled

You can't "locally compile" code on iOS. That's against App Store guidelines.
Where's the consistency in getting into a stranger's car every time you use a service? The consistency would be the app? Often Uber drivers also drive for Lyft and vice versa. If the same drivers also embrace Libre Taxi I fail to see any fundamental difference in the experience.
I was worried that my question wasn't worded well enough to make sense but your calculation answer was exactly what I was looking for. Very insightful and thanks for sharing the thought process.
Games interpret code that's shipped with the app. You cannot create an app which downloads code off the Internet (for example) and executes it.
Who wouldn't love race car battlebots?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Your workplace is the government that you're made to obey most of the time, and unless you have a lot of leverage your position is very similar to a Medieval serf.

One benefit that I feel may happen, is to generate better buy-in for management decisions if the workers feel they have a hand in making said decisions. They might also care more about the health of their company, rather than maximizing the value they reap.

Not everyone is proactive as you are, and having skilled professional teachers who can engage students to motivate them to learn something they may not on their own, is a collective good.

Uneducated people (and I am distinguishing education from intelligence; uneducated most emphatically does not mean unintelligent) are bad for society. Witness climate change denial, Trump and his ilk, etc.
Just some notes from a user:

The text on the app store images is a bit small to read for me, so I zoomed in, and that completely broke your layout.

I clicked on an App I was interested in; didn't really want to enter my phone number and ended up searching for the name of the app; got to the app's website and saw it was iPhone only... and not really something I was interested in anyway, and now I can't be bothered looking through the store to see what apps support Android.

IMO most apps are pretty niche and the challenge in discovery is pretty much the same as ad targeting: figure out which user will want this app apriori. Just being a "good app" isn't that useful...
Games are a specific exemption to this rule.
Definitely true. My parents recently went on vacation to a US city that isn't exactly the safest (IMO). Their hotel didn't offer an airport shuttle, and they've been burned by taxi drivers in the past. I explained the concept of uber to them, installed the app on their phone, and told them to press the button when they wanted someone to pick them up and the ride would automatically be billed to their credit card.

When they returned they told me how "nice all the drivers were" and how they weren't going to pay for shuttles ever again.

There's no way I would have given them the app for some local taxi co-op, but uber I trust enough to assume its generally reliable in any US city.

I disagree and it's not ignorance on my part. Due to the nature of the poker and heavily weighted component of luck, a terrible AI can theoretically win.

I am sure the AI they built is a mighty and spectacular achievement, but poker is about the only game I know where the worst player can easily beat the best player. Prove me wrong and I'll happily accept your insult of "ignorance"

edit I should have been more clear, as I am extremely impressed with the AI's results of hands over time. I am referring to the context of a standard tournament where the loser is eliminated after losing their chips.
Thank you! This confirms that I have reached the audience I intended!8-))

What else is there to do? YC owns the football. I have no choice but to acquiesce to their (re)interpretation of their own rules.

But they own neither the stadium, nor the electorate, nor the country. And there's a bigger game afoot than this one.
"Roundup of startup advice based on one person's journey" wasn't a catchy enough title.

I should have linked to http://autopsy.io/ - a good place to read about why startups failed from the founders.
Reviewers can't really believe anything the vendors say and can't afford to run hundreds of SSDs for years to gather real data so there's not much they can say. By the time there is real-world experience with an SSD model it's probably obsolete anyway.
A couple of things:
If you want to learn meditation find yourself a teacher who will be able to guide you with your specific and personal needs, advantages and deficiencies in focus, character and views on outside world and on yourself, through this process. We are never taught what meditation is and how to do it right. None of the sources mention such important pre-requsite as understanding of human energy movement in breathing, human energy anatomy and physiology. So if you want to play with meditation is one thing, doing thing right will mean you have to have guidance.

Second, As Salvador Dali said: don't be afraid of perfection, you will never reach it. Blank minds is a good but also a very hard and advanced concept beginner meditators will most likely not reach. It is very hard for the uninitiated person (by previous karma or other spiritual training) who is used to focus attention on outward to be able to go inward, let along still the mind. The best way is to distract your mind from 'uncomfortable' nothingness with count while you are doing breathing and visualization.
Even if a human deployed it, considering that everything automated by a computer can now be called AR by PR agencies it is an AI failure ;)

Well, given we ship around semi-trucks full (ok not completely full due to the exact weight you describe) of lead-acid car batteries for recycling, it wouldn't be unthinkable. Li-on, I believe, is roughly 200% lighter for the same battery.

Not sure how that carries over to larger batteries as I've only really dealt with them for ATV type use.

North Carolina Law Students Must Disable MacBook Pro Touch Bar for 2017 Bar Exam
My previous post was poorly worded. Technology has automated so many jobs that the oversaturated labor pool means wages are dipping. Cheaper goods don't mean much when you can't afford a house or car. Meanwhile, the investors are reaping the benefits of this efficiency with insane returns, and the CEOs are running off with millions. When we're living in the richest country in the world with a GDP per capita of over $50k, the idea that there are those unemployed or making $8k/yr while others are making millions or billions per year is ridiculous.
On a hand by hand basis, sure. In freezeout tournaments, yes. In heads-up over 120k hands? No. This was not a lucky win. And I say this speaking as a one-time full time player in a number of formats. Variance does not explain this loss.
ACLU doesn't argue that "they should own all the guns". They don't defend the individual right interpretation of the Second Amendment, but they don't argue against it, either. So, in effect, they're completely neutral on this.

They're also upfront about this position, so you can't claim that they're misleading you when they take your money.

When you donate money to ACLU, you do so in the knowledge that not go towards defending 2A rights[1]. But this is also the case for EFF, for example. Does that preclude you from donating to EFF, or any other organization? If not, then why do you demand that ACLU does something out of their declared scope.

[1] ACLU does actually defend 2A rights in contexts where they intersect with other rights. For example, they have collaborated with SAF to defend the rights of non-citizens to keep and bear arms - some states explicitly ban non-citizens from their shall-issue carry licensing provisions, or even firearm possession in general.
Is this a guideline for startups only? I work as the only dev in a small design company but have no frame of reference for salary expectations as I've never worked with other developers and transitioned into it from a design role.
