I was lucky enough as a kid to inherit my grandfather's collection of old sci-fi books. I first became aware of Q codes through the short story "QRM Interplanetary" from 1942 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Equilateral).

I find it interesting that Q codes have changed so little over the last century. I have some ham radio friends who will use Q codes when talking face-to-face with each other, and the codes they use are basically the same ones from the original list.

Takedown requests would need to be sent to the nodes holding the data or to servers holding links to the data. I don't think the dev teams or parent companies would have too much to worry about.
I can't say if it's much better, but iOS devices does have some security features most Android devices don't have :

- hardware Secure Enclave (as time of writing, only Samsung devices and latest Google Nexus also have a similar hardware, as far as I know)

- strong sandboxing (again, only Samsung devices with Knox can really compare)

- restrictions on which apps you can get, that filters on malicious apps (ex: fake gmail app). It is void if you use jailbroken iOS or allow sideloading on Android.

- security updates are both more frequent (except Google devices, all Android manufacturers always lag behind for updates), and available to older devices (varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but it's generally way less than Apple)

Of course, you need to factor in the delay to respond to security flaws (I don't have that kind of data), and other factors too, as well as decide if iOS suits you. That's for you to decide.
I don't see an altcoin beating out bitcoin soon, but if one started gaining traction it would probably have a proof of work system compatible with most miners' asics.
I agree. If medical treatments make sense in specific cases, of course use them. And sometimes combination treatments are the best (as mentioned in this thread). But hopefully this is preceded by a talk about cost/benefit of all approaches and the weighted risks (including doing nothing), something that doesn't seem to be happening in a lot of cases in the US.

There is a BIG difference between using analytics (whether demographic, psychological, or what-have-you) to target voters (individually nor in groups) with a campaign message clearly marked as such in order to sway voters to some action, and using the same or similar techniques to create targeted "news" articles not labelled as campaign materials for the same purpose.

Not disclosing the campaign affiliation on those articles is illegal. If even a fraction of what this article is alleging concerning how the Trump campaign spent it's money is true, the FEC may have quite a bit to say about it: http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/notices.shtml

No one wants yet another license.

Is there an explanation about why Unlicense is not appropriate? Or what it would take for an Unlicense derivative to meet the legal requirements? Could the laws be changed in small ways to allow US Government employees to more fully participate in open source?

"The Unlicense is a template for disclaiming copyright monopoly interest in software you've written; in other words, it is a template for dedicating your software to the public domain. It combines a copyright waiver patterned after the very successful public domain SQLite project with the no-warranty statement from the widely-used MIT/X11 license." http://unlicense.org/

I like how other commenters have included other successfully US.gov and specifically DoD open source such as BRL-CAD and NSA's Apache Accumulo.
And the DoD Open Source FAQ is interesting and something I haven't seen before: http://dodcio.defense.gov/Open-Source-Software-FAQ/

Open source and US.gov participation reminds me of what happened with NASA Nova. It was pretty sad that when OpenStack became relevant in the industry that seemed to cause a panic at NASA and they pulled completely out of OpenStack development. Instead of NASA being to help the project stay focused on being opinionated enough to be generally useful (out of the box), NASA was too afraid about the perception of competing with proprietary commercial interests. (It was nice to see last year, all these years later, that NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is now a user again having purchased RedHat OpenStack.)

>> Have you tried the Windows Subsystem for Linux? You might be able to get by without a separate Linux install.

I have been meaning to Subsystem for Linux that since they announced it, but Cmder (Conemu) has been so working well for me that I have gotten too complacent to even try it. Cmder was the one thing for me when I switched to Mac that truly made the transition painless -- I thought I would hate not having OSX Terminal. I don't do super advanced unix shell stuff, and it was just perfect.

It's a prepaid credit card that immediately notifies your phone every time you make a transaction with the amount and location.

It is particularly useful overseas. I was in Belgium at the weekend and all my € spend was immediately translated into £ so I could clearly see how much I was spending. I could also find the café that I went to for breakfast the previous day because it's location is right there in the Monzo app.

The other useful feature is when I'm out drinking. If I loose the card, I can freeze the card from inside the app. Also it means that the next morning I can see how much I spent.
And it seems to me the OS should ensure the pages are zero'd out rather than user space (via malloc()) doing it, because it's still a security hole to let a process read data that it's not supposed to have access to (whether it's from another process or the kernel - it doesn't matter).

> I think what should be taxable here is not a "robot" but a human replacement for the purpose of reducing costs in the pursuit of profit.

This is taxing tools. Why would we want to disincentivize the creation and utilization of tools? And what would be the purpose or capacity to fulfill such a thing.

This tax the robots thing got to me by several places and the only way this could have picked up is that people equated robots with people, as in a subservient. But they are as much as any other object, and it doesnt really bring anything new to the table.

Steep terrain will destroy you if your shoes are a little too big. Think going down a steep mountainside with a heavy pack on your back - all of that weight wants to roll down hill. Even if you lace up tightly, your feet are going to move around.
We live in a pretty litigious society. Everything has to be caveated to cover the lowest common denominator. On top of that nutrition is a complex subject filled with a lot of mis-information. In this particular case fasting can be risky for those who are obese or have a lot of toxins in their fatty tissue.

From what I understand, pollutants in food (from pesticides and other sources) and in the environment which are not easily broken down are stored by the body in fat.

Fasting or sudden weight loss can cause these toxins to be released more rapidly than would otherwise be the case. This can tax your system pretty heavily if you're obese or have a higher incidence of pollutants in your body.
FiveThirtyEight pegged Trump's chances more in the 25%-30% range. Not all data is analyzed well.
I get the "violent, exclusionary, and globally oppressive" part, but why "socialist"? Open source strikes me as rather ideology neutral. If anything it's perhaps a bit anarchic.

Socialism is all about reducing the effect that direct actions and agreements between individuals can have on society as a whole.

Open source is all about direct action and the unplanned dynamics that may unfold as a result.

OP isn't saying they used the same password for transferwise as for their bank. Transferwise allows you to log into your internet banking and authorize a transaction through their site. You actually give them your internet banking password, regardless of how you log into their site.

Which is pretty strange in itself, to trust a 3rd party with your internet banking password, but that's how it works.

A counter argument is that someone who looks more like a surgeon cares more about his profession, pays more attention to details, and is therefore more likely to do a good job.

I'm not sure the credential holds any value anymore. Maybe at one time there was the hope that it would represent something, but employers have data now (see: Google, EY, etc.) and it shows over and over that it is not an effective filtering mechanism.

The exception is the professions where the law requires it. Employers don't have a lot of choice in those cases. But those jobs specifically have that in place to reduce the numbers to artificially increase incomes. They explicitly don't want more people.

These profits you talk about are not from automation but from product or service. You could tax companies specializing in automation, but how do you define who to tax? If software an automation based product?

Taxation won't work, for many reasons. Universal income/welfare system has it's own share of problems, but so far that's the only solution that could be somehow made workable.
Electronic components are practically the opposite of open source software. To evaluate an IC, you need to painstakingly decap it and study it under a microscope as well as logic probe it to ensure its functionality. And that only applies to the random sample of chips you audit. Open source software allows you to evaluate it with virtually no encumbrance, and once you've frozen a version in your source control, you do not have to worry about it changing underneath you.
Which censorship? Sources?
I agree, though I think persuading Apple's decision makers--particularly those who were present for the clone program in the 90s--would be hard as hell. It was a poorly designed program, and allowed clone makers to beat out Apple on price and speedy updates with new hardware. And those who remember it at Apple probably remember all of the problems it threw at the company's feet back then.

Personally, I think letting the trash can linger on for over 3 years is a pretty loud indicator that Apple's not exactly concerned with the line and that, internally at least, they're well aware of just how big a mistake the design was. Of course, it's possible that it's just a reflection of far larger problems with how the company views and supports its Mac engineers.[0] Plus, the Mac Pro's manufacturing here in the US is problematic for the company. That little political ploy can't be easily reversed, especially with the anti-trade FUD that's so prevalent now.

If Apple were willing to acknowledge the problems, they could certainly design a restrictive licensing program that would allow third-parties to build Macs that target higher-end professionals without cannibalizing their consumer lines too much while avoiding some of the problems from the 90s. Strict design requirements for case aesthetics, limitations on software bundling, and other requirements could be used to limit third-party machines to high-end machines to avoid eating their consumer and laptop sales.

Not that I expect it to happen, or even be considered. But something has to change if Apple wants to keep their hold on creative professionals who are now either being forced to switch, doing extensive upgrades on their old Mac Pros to bide as much time as possible, or building Hackintoshes

I should add, there is no ongoing charge for this and they use the MasterCard exchange rate which is a better rate than I can get anywhere else.
they also won't pay the claim unless you can prove the item was worth what you say it is. They dont tell you this when you buy the insurance, of course. But once you try to make a claim, they demand proof. They want a catalog showing the item, an appraisal, etc. And just like any insurance, the first thing they will do when you try to make a claim is get out of paying it.
I would be hilarious if not dystopian to see the government changing the definition of what a robot is constantly in pursuit of tax revenue.

In any case, i suspect the whole push a government could do to a robot tax is simply to increase tax revenue, all else be damned.

Please do dig it up, because I find it highly unlikely that in an environment where the average wage increases by 20% over a generation, that the children of those who had been in one of the many occupations that had been made obsolete by automation were not better off than their fathers were at the best of times.

If it was a general rule that the children of those who lose their job to automation are worse off than their parents, the majority of the population would have seen its quality of life degrade over the last two hundred years given most occupations that existed at the beginning of the period have been made obsolete or mostly obsolete since that time.

It's funny how articles showing Americans in a bad light, vis-a-vis immigrants, always pop up here on HN. The insinuation that this is the result of our President is always the underlying theme. It isn't about some random crackpot - as it should be.

The misrepresentative and inflammatory title should be enough to have flagged this long ago.

It doesn't matter that the manipulative and lying media, as well as the George Soros funded domestic terrorist groups have created problems by misrepresenting the immigration issue.

I can post 15 articles right now showing immigrants or foreign-born in a bad light. That would be stupid (much like this article) unless the behavior is associated with undermining The United States and it's people.

It's just more race-baiting from manipulative activists attempting to usurp another website and undermine this country in the process. Growing up in the Bronx, I could provide lots of examples of "reverse" (whatever this is) racism. Another pointless endeavor aimed solely at dividing us as Americans.

As a community here at HN, we should do better than to continue to allow these types of slanted, racist, politically-driven articles from gaining a foothold.

>Why is there no "general" deep learning algorithm?!

Because "deep learning" is almost always just neural networks with many layers and some tweaks to the unit types to alleviate vanishing-gradient issues, trained by stochastic gradient descent. In rather theoretical terms, "deep learning" involves using gradient descent, and gradient-increasing tweaks, to search for a specific continuous circuit in a given space of continuous circuits. It's only as general as the hypothesis class you search through, which here is, again, continuous "circuits" composed out of "neuron" units of specific types, numbers, and arrangements.

Now, in computability terms, given a large enough (continuous or discrete) circuit, possibly a recurrent one, you can represent any computable function. However, in learning terms, that doesn't make a useful computable function at all easy to find in a very-high dimensional space.

>> If Apple doesn't care about high-end desktops anymore

I think Apple makes high end computers for consumers now.

They just don't cater to special audiences like they did before, which is unfortunate for people who don't want computers that cater to consumers (i.e., content creation pros, developers, etc).

I can't blame Apple for following the money, but it is what it is, I guess.
> I took a quite specific discussion ("Sweden has turned dangerous because of crimes by immigrants") and in that discussion the fact(?) that total crime numbers have not increased is very relevant.

Not necessarily the case because demographics are never homogeneously distributed across territory. If the rape/crime numbers didn't fall uniformly across the whole population, then you could have scenarios where crime fell by 20% in some regions and increased 25% in others, and overall it would be constant. I'm making up the numbers to illustrate.

More data would make your point much more convincing.

I used to have the same problem. Probably low blood sugar if you're accustomed to a more carb rich diet. Switching to eating more healthy fats (olive oil, raw coconut oil, butter) and less sugar helped me with this particular problem.
> whereas Microsoft lets me to do whatever I want with my computers and my software.

Not in my experience. My Windows 10 automation/unscrew-up script alone is like 5 kloc. And I bet 70% of that script could be replaced if I had real control of the system, like dropping a .config file in some folder instead of having to find hidden settings with nonsensical names deep down the regedit hole. Another example, you have to use some stupid hacks to make sure there are no Flash DLLs in your pc. No matter what you do they always come back in some security update.
From the article;

"So for Oracle in my opinion, the sun is still shining on premises and I do hope for them the clouds will come, but the way it is now, I’m afraid they‘ll miss this train."

It's way beyond that. Larry Ellison didn't just miss the train, he said where the train was going was crap, and sat on sidelines for way too long. They had a chance early on but LE thought he was smarter than everyone else.

Oracle's saving grace is it's legacy business. Lots of older and bigger companies have Oracle and they can upsell those customers.

But every day a new tech company is born and none of them are adding Oracle. Baring a minor miracle it will be a slow but still profitable decline. There isn't much of a chance they will catch up, much less keep pace.
