If you have medical emergency - this is where charity kicks in, they will help you.

If you bet it all on red - in this case you have to mow lawns for $20 to eat every day until the next paycheck comes.
Retirees might need to liquid a percentage of their portfolio each month to pay their bills. Getting caught in a flash crash can have an effect on them.

In a general sense though I agree that the behavior shouldn't be illegal but am fine with exchanges implementing rules about it. For a trade to occur both the buyer and the seller are getting what they want at a price they both deem acceptable. Phantom orders does not inherently change that.

>military operations where decentralized decision-making is valued

exactly. As high speed trading already shows humans just can't compete with computers in making decisions and acting upon them fast enough. Presented with 3d battlespace densely populated with thousands of various drones (and few planes) moving at all speeds/directions and possessing and using all kinds of weapons (guns, lasers, missiles of various ranges/types) the human brain (without implanted computer chip of course) would just lose to computers.
Oh wowzers! DeepMind "AI" finds the most effective strategies for a couple of simplistic games. This "research" could have been done by an undergrad twenty years ago (with simple self-written algorithms), in a couple of months... max! Only positive point is the article is mercifully short.
it matters because the law says it matters.
I wish more tools let me define constraints. Flexbox helps to brute force the layout you want, but it's still pretty annoying. Something like http://gridstylesheets.org/ is a good example of what I want to use more of the time.
I like alternative solutions to this problem, but I don't think yours solves all cases of the problem. What if someone keeps a tightly knit group of friends? Your solution relies on having a substantially sized community of friends that play a wide variety of games, of which, they write reviews for. I feel this is a really tight use case, and one Steam might need to retrain a community for. Do you still think it would work?

There's also the argument that other providers are out there, too itch.io. This compels me to think that the problem isn't really that these software engineers/game developers aren't really hindered in terms of how they're exposed.

Which app store 'gets it right' and how close to do you feel it's use case is to Steam's?
If only there were libraries that encapsulate best-practice plumbing and glue logic and offer a high-level API with sane defaults!

You're in luck: cities are constantly being rebuilt as developers tear down old buildings and put up new ones. Change the zoning, and gradually the city will shift.
Cocaine thrives because it is easy to conceal, easy to manufacture, has sky-high profit margins, no legal competition, and because you get paid in untraceable, unrecordable, launderable cash.

The sad thing is people are so used to this modern web crap that I don't think they will stop using it. The Facebook "we crashed the app and users never stopped coming back" experiment comes to mind. Sure, technical users like anyone on HN will probably know what it could be like, but a lot of users likely have no idea how fast the web can be. A site that takes 2 seconds to load is "fast". 5+ seconds to load an article on mobile while the page is jumping all over the place is "normal".

> If we're all on basic income, we no longer have any leverage if our "wages" are reduced. The ruling classes can decide to drop the amount we earn, and there's not much we can do about it. Sure, we can "vote", but we can't strike, which is a far more powerful way to fight against pay decreases.

You could still strike. UBI has nothing to do with employment and it enables you to sustain strikes longer as you are guaranteed income regardless of employment status. (i.e. you won't starve)

> the main driving force behind education is the need for employment. of course plenty of people seek education purely for their own fulfilment, and we imagine with the free time that will come with joblessness, more people will do this. but we'll almost certainly see a drop in the number of young people attending college, since there's no "need". with less people in college, the overall level of education around the world will drop.

Tbh, I think many "creative" majors go into creative majors (despite the economic practicality) because they want to. (i.e. Art, English)

The $6000 is USCIS filing fees, legal fees are on top of that, broken down as:

$325 base + $1500 AICWA + $500 fraud protection fee + [potential $4000 Public Law 114-113 fee] + [optional $1125 premium processing fee] = $6325 + [optional $1125].

Legal fees vary from $500 to $3000 on top of that.

Delphi is also the first thing which comes into my mind when I think of that. I was also much more productive in that old days with GUI stuff. I also don't understand why there is no good RAD existing nowadays... I think the biggest reason is because there are no real solid non changing standards (like the Windows API and VCL in Delphi) and all this stuff HTML5+CSS3+ES6 have much more possibilities how stuff is created and interlinked to eachother in comparison to a Windows window system.
Does anyone know why we never see new apartment and office building with shops on the street level? This seems like the most natural configuration for dense city, and SF has quite a bit of land specifically zoned in this way. See the orange regions here:

https://williamhe4planning.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/sf_ci...

But almost all modern buildings I've seen, both residential and commercial, have huge lobbies. This means the shops are very thinly distributed at street-level, even in downtown areas with tall skyscrapers.
This makes me think of charities. Suppose I'm trying to raise money for cancer research. Maybe I tell my friends and raise $100k. I then give that $100k to a research lab. The next year I raise $100k again, except that this time, I spend that money on advertisements telling people to donate to my charity. I raise $300k that way, netting me $200k which I give to the lab.

My contribution to cancer research has doubled, yay! But this time, I raised a total of $400k, so for the donors (consumers), a dollar of cancer research now costs two dollars. I (the firm) became more sophisticated and in some ways more efficient, but in other ways less efficient. Costs to the consumer went up, but now I'm the dominant cancer charity. Other charities trying to raise money can't compete since nobody has heard of them, and their message isn't crafted by highly-paid marketers. To compete, they have to raise prices too! I remember this being a big controversy in charities a few years ago.

The analogous scenario with for-profit firms making widgets is straight-forward. I wonder what role this kind of mechanism could be playing in cost disease?
If the market economy keeps producing new jobs fast enough to compensate for technology eliminating old ones, then I agree that we don't need to plan for mass unemployment at all.

But I want to stake out a position early on that if the market economy plus automation does not actually produce enough jobs for job-seekers in practice, then we should accept that mass employment was a historically contingent phenomenon that can be let go. It's not something that governments should try to keep shambling around in zombie form after the original economic rationale has died. (Bullshit jobs invented just to keep people provided with employment/income is one kind of bad response that I'm worried we'll see from protective governments. Another bad response, from neglectful governments, would be to ignore mass technological unemployment observed in practice, should it come to pass, because they're too wedded to a theory that enough new jobs will always arise in the private sector to offset jobs eliminated by automation.)
Everyone knows the AI community failed to deliver on strong AI, the modern boom in automation and machine learning is not about strong AI, rather the exact opposite. Instead of trying to create artificial general intelligence, researchers are now focused on solving very specific problems.

Like speech recognition, or machine vision, or predictive analytics. What's awesome is that deep learning seems to be coming out with the best results across many different disciplines and problem domains, leading to optimism about it being a general technique that can be applied to many different types of complex problems.

So yea, modern renaissance of machine learning and AI is not the same as the promise of strong AI, very opposite.

I am totally with you in that the future is hard to predict. But this isn't quite the same thing, there are notable differences here that'd suggest that this isn't like the promises made by the community since last 50 years.

Speaking specifically about deep learning, never before in history have we been able to work with the sheer volume of data that we now have and can easily work with. GPU computing shits on the CPU and is faster than the CPU by orders of magnitudes for things like matrix multiplication[1]. Advances in the field like dropout, transfer learning, ensemble learning, boosting, convolutional neural networks, unsupervised pre-training, etc have also led to breakthroughs.

Finally, researchers have more access to large freely available datasets like ImageNet, which has had an enormous impact on the field of machine vision. Freely available tools like Caffe, TensorFlow, Theano, Lasagne, Keras, Torch also make it easy for engineers and not machine learning experts to utilize the state of the art techniques to build awesome software.

Ask HN: What is the state of self hosted file syncing services?
A few years ago I tried out Seafile, Syncthing, and ownCloud. They each were decent, but had various issues that kept me from sticking with any of them. (Using too much CPU, painful upgrades, bad support for certain operating systems, etc.)

Since it's been a few years I'm considering trying again to see if the ecosystem is any better. I'd really like to be able to run an alternative to Google Drive or Dropbox on a home server. An ideal solution would have good cross platform support, a decent mobile app, client side file encryption, and low overhead. Has anyone had much luck with the various options out there?

Your parent clearly mentions it's a tangent, and likely not a big deal.

"we could have a society oriented around the arts and sciences, pure creativity and discovery instead of bullshit jobs "

I'm afraid your statement implies a misunderstanding of what 'the economy' is.

'The economy' is people providing services and building products for one another.

So that guy who waited on you at the restaurant, the girl who did your payroll, the guy who delivered your mail, the person monitoring your blocks internet connections, the person who planted crops, the person making sure your street is safe to walk down ...

Those 'bullshit jobs' all exist for a reason - because they provide value to someone (like you), and we are willing to pay for it all by doing stuff for others as well.

'The jobs' that we do are a function of what other people in the economy 'want done' in terms of products and services.

Not a function of 'what they want to do'.

If you don't want to do anything that 'helps others' - that's fine, but you can't expect for them to help you in return if your 'lifestyle choice' is 'windsurfing'.

But when we do help each other, the whole is actually greater than the sum of the parts (i.e. comparative value) - and that's where we really start to win.

Most of the things you need done for you are not that fun. It'll always be that way.
Is this sarcastic? Stadiums are dead zones. During the game everybody is in the stadium. When there's no game you have a completely empty block. Before and after games you have huge crowds coming and going.
Exactly. That was the first thing I thought. To me a real solution is "Given what we have how can we evolve to make it better". It will be a blend of zoning, re-purposing, blending transportation systems and definitely political debate.

Well, the law doesn't really say anything beyond "manipulative devices" and "contrivances," but right now, judges have kinda ruled that intention matters. But we don't know much, because most of these cases get settled out of court, so we don't have a robust case law to base any of this off of. Basically, if you participate in a financial transaction in any way, be prepared to be accused of a crime.
I think this article misunderstands a bit about how cities grow. Any place that's now high density in a city, used to look something like a suburb. Especially in the US, every place that has a recently built 5 story midrise building probably used to be 1/4-1/3 acre lots with 2,000sqft houses on them.

Doesn't sound like a big deal but consider that land is cheap, land with buildings is not. You can find an acre around where I live for 250,000-350,000 dollars but you want to buy four neighboring houses and build density, that's going to start at 2.4 million.

And of course, you have to pay for each house what someone looking to live in it would be willing to pay. Density is only acheived when the price of density becomes worth it. If you're building a city from scratch, density is cheap but very few cities get built from scratch.
We might as well just erect anthropomorphic statues of Truth, Liberty, Justice, and Columbia. Put 'em in a Charlie's Angels posed silhouette, and have a huge bald eagle flying over the lot.

It would be way better as a backdrop than an unsexy, non-badass old parchment.

Actually... the guy just reinvented Europe. With cities which grew organic when transportation was expensive, commercial and residential areas are close to each other. Even Sydney, Australia, is a nice city when you don't have a car, even for fathers who drop their kid at school in the morning (but Australia has other problems in terms of carbon emissions, probably coal electricity, long distances and meat).

And that's why USA dooms the Earth in terms of carbon emissions. The whole country is built with costless petroleum in mind. It doesn't require completely tearing down the cities (another comment suggested altering the zoning plans), but if there isn't a very strong change of cap in terms of city planning, it'll keep being unfathomable to get rid of your car as an American citizen.

The pollution tax (=integrating the cost of global warming in everything that's based on petroleum) is another way to solve it, but it will lead to the same result: Rearchitecting american cities.

The amount of money someone can make in our economy as an artist isn't a reflection of how much art we "need." Art in particular is not a commodity that society can just have enough of.

This is so true. You could argue we already have this occurring in the US, for example. I've worked many places where it's unclear exactly why it requires so many people doing their various jobs to keep the business afloat. I've even held various positions which seemed like that: some days I would dig holes, other days I'd fill them in (metaphorically). I'm not sure how this happens in private industry, maybe because of various incentives from the government? Tax breaks, etc.?
Yes, and he wrote a really good article recently for Aviation Week's 100 year theme number that expands on that [1]. Basically, how could aircraft cost increase, when it's at the level of the aircraft's weight in gold? You can't add hardware that would increase cost... unless you invent something that uses no space and has no mass. It's software.
